The prefectural governor's mansion was filled with distinguished guests.
The most eye-catching person at the entire banquet was a young nobleman.
He wore a white robe with cloud patterns, a white jade crown, and a red lotus like a flame between his brows. His handsome face was flawless.
Prefect Wang Fusheng of Tianshan County attended to him with a wine pot on his left and right, while Chen Cangsheng, the leader of Jianmen Sect, Yue Kongcheng, the leader of Taiyue Sect, and Chen Xuri, the leader of Wuying Sect, frequently raised their cups.
No matter who offered him a toast, Jiang Yichen would only symbolically pick up the glass and take a small sip.
The leaders of the three top sects in Nanzhou are unapproachable figures in the eyes of others, but in his eyes they are just like that.
Not only was he born into the Jiang family, but his biological father was also Jiang Ruhuo, one of the three great patriarchs of the Jiang family.
"Thanks to Young Master Jiang's command, this operation will surely not escape Young Master Jiang's grasp!"
"Young Master Jiang's talent is extraordinary, a rarity in the world. What is Li Fan compared to him?"
“Li Fan is nothing but a brute who only knows how to fight and kill. He is no match for Jiang Shao.”
Hearing the compliments around him, Jiang Yichen smiled slightly.
Li Fan, the Overlord Blade?
So what if someone is exceptionally talented?
So what if you can fight?
In the end, they'll all die anyway.
Perhaps he wouldn't even need to bring his own men; the two Black Kill Ranking assassins sent by Wei Chen would be enough to deal with Li Fan.
......
Ziyang Mountain, where a solitary moon hangs high.
Above the dark forest, two figures moved like owls in the night.
The moonlight illuminates the scene, lengthening the shadows.
One of them was bald, dressed in a monk's robe, with a thick beard and eyebrows, and held a white bone staff.
The other man had a sinister face and carried a large guillotine on his back.
They were the assassins sent by Wei Chen.
The one who wields the white bone staff is the ninth-ranked skeleton on the Black Killing List.
The one carrying the guillotine is the tenth most notorious killer on the Black Kill List.
......
Little White suddenly woke up by the campfire.
Danger is approaching from that direction.
"roar!"
It roared as it charged toward Li Fan.
"You beast, you have quite the keen nose!"
From the darkness came the hoarse voice of the decapitator.
As he spoke, he burst out of the darkness.
A pale red aura seemed to swirl around him, and an indescribable pressure enveloped him.
Thump!
A muffled thud came from the ground.
The decapitator took a step forward, heading straight for Li Fan.
The guillotine blade was raised high and then slammed down like a pendulum.
A terrifying pressure loomed over me.
With the sword drawn, Li Fan drew his blade and clashed head-on.
Clang!
The metal clashed and exploded with a loud clang as the two blades collided.
The surging true energy emitted a thunderous explosion.
Where the two stood, the earth cracked open, and soil and rocks flew everywhere.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
The decapitated man staggered back three steps before regaining his footing.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart sank.
Li Fan is even more terrifying than described in the Fish and Dragon List.
His own ninth-grade Divine Transformation Perfection True Qi was not as profound as his.
Fortunately, this time, skeletons came along too!
The decapitator took a deep breath, and the energy within his body collapsed.
Secret method, blood donation!
When he activated the secret technique, the original light red true energy deepened in color.
The decapitation strikes again, this time even faster than before.
His knife was also stronger than before.
On the other side, Li Fan drew his sword again to meet the attack.
He did not unleash his fist intent, nor did he enhance it with the power of the Mountain-Shaking Fist.
He was waiting, waiting for the person emanating murderous intent from the darkness to appear.
Either don't kill!
Kill them all.
Clang!
The two swords clashed, causing a surge of internal energy.
This time, the decapitator did not retreat.
His face contorted in a ferocious grimace as he roared, "Die!"
As he spoke, a continuous stream of true energy poured into Li Fan.
"Hmph, you think you can kill me? You're overestimating yourself!"
Li Fan curled his lip and looked at the headhunter with disdain.
Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Jin, who was standing some distance away, couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.
Although the newcomer was at the ninth rank of perfection, he hadn't even grasped the essence, so his strength was at most equivalent to his own.
Li Fan, that monster, could severely injure himself with a single strike, so how could he be locked in a stalemate with the person in front of him?
Especially that disdainful look on his face—it didn't seem like the expression Li Fan should have.
He killed people without showing any expression.
Little White lay motionless in front of the two of them.
Having spent a long time with Li Fan, it also learned about some of Li Fan's quirks.
For example, he would sometimes inexplicably hold back when facing weaker individuals.
......
The stalemate did not last long.
Almost as short as the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the true energy within the headhunter's body began to falter.
"Li Fan, don't be so smug!"
"If I can't kill you, then someone stronger will come to kill you!"
After saying this, the decapitator used the momentum to fly back in the direction it had come from.
"Escape? I think you're dreaming!"
As Li Fan spoke, fleeting images unfolded.
The decapitated man had only escaped for about two hundred meters when Li Fan caught up with him.
Li Fan brandished his sword to kill Gao Ju.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
The overtaken leader suddenly turned around and, as if possessed, swung his knife at Li Fan.
Clang!
The longswords clashed once more.
The decapitated body was blasted away.
puff!
Blood spurted out, and the decapitated man looked at Li Fan with a smile, as if he were looking at a dead man.
These young prodigies all share a common problem.
That's just being overconfident!
Do they really think everyone is just a stepping stone for them?
They truly believed that everyone was a stepping stone for them to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.
young!
Behind Li Fan, skeletons suddenly appeared.
The white bone staff, shrouded in murderous intent.
A ghostly green aura, like will-o'-the-wisp, clung to it.
The staff slammed straight down on Li Fan's head.
This strike was infused with the true energy and essence of the withered bones.
At such close range, Li Fan couldn't dodge.
A faint smile appeared on the lips of the skeleton.
Clang!
The white bone staff was destroyed and blocked.
An aura as solid as a mountain erupted from Li Fan's body.
The Mountain-Shaking Fist instantly connects all 108 meridians.
The Burning Blood Blade instantly combined all the power together.
Knife, forward!
The immense force caused the withered bones' eyes to tremble violently.
Just moments ago, Li Fan and Xiao Shou were evenly matched.
Why has his power suddenly increased by more than one level?
Moreover, he even grasped the meaning.
Fear of the ancient
Cracks appeared on the white bone staff.
how so!
The skeletons were terrified!
He wanted to escape.
But the next second, something that drove him to despair happened.
The jet-black longsword severed the white bone staff, its unparalleled sharpness striking his body.
The blade flashes, and people die!
......
escape!
escape!
escape!
On the other side, the decapitator turned and ran.
He even discarded the large guillotine.
At this moment, how could he not understand that everything before was deliberately done by Li Fan to lure out the skeleton?
......
"Please, don't kill me!"
"I know who's behind this, and I know where they are right now!"
"Give me a chance, I want to live!"
The decapitated man knelt on the ground, his head bobbing as if being pounded.
"explain!"
Li Fan's voice rang out, and the leader immediately said, "Jiang Yichen, the son of the eldest patriarch of the Jiang family, is currently at the Tianshan Prefectural Governor's Mansion... Die!"
The decapitator suddenly launched an attack, thrusting a poisoned dagger straight at Li Fan's throat.
The dagger fell with pinpoint accuracy.
Click!
The dagger shattered into pieces.
The head and body were severed in two.
