When the man in black robes arrived, Xiao Ning felt the hairs on his body stand on end.
Master!
An unprecedented master!
In her mind, in the entire capital of Yan, only Hua Zhen, the top martial arts master in the palace, could rival her!
"Who are you? What are you doing here at my manor?" Lin Yuanlong asked, his eyes wide.
As a warlord who had survived countless battles, he was naturally not intimidated by an assassin.
The man in black robes curled his lips into a cold smile. "I am the last loyal follower of the Wu family, and I have been ordered to take your dog's head!"
"The Wu family? Wu Tiande?"
Lin Yuanlong immediately realized what was happening.
It turns out his father-in-law sent someone to kill him!
Lin Yuanlong sneered, "This old guy has been fighting with me his whole life, but I never expected that he would try to drag me down with him at the end. How much does he hate me?"
The laughter had a hint of self-mockery in it.
There's probably no one else in the world who could have turned their father-in-law/son-in-law relationship into something like this.
But who can be blamed for this?
He never liked Wu Xueqin.
They forced it on him!
He only loves Yunlan!
If it weren't for Lin Chuang's sake, he would have crippled Wu Xueqin long ago!
"Lin Yuanlong, you should have died long ago! Miss was such a good woman, and you didn't cherish her. Instead, you let your bastard child kill her. You deserve what you have today!"
The man in the black robe took a deep breath, his body trembling uncontrollably.
In fact, he was Wu Xueqin's follower, had admired her for many years, and had silently waited for her for many years.
Here, have some!
Years ago, a little beggar with a face covered in soot walked to the Wu family's door.
If that bright and cheerful girl hadn't given him a steamed bun, he might have died that winter.
He remembered that steamed bun for the rest of his life.
Years later, when he became an unparalleled genius of a reclusive sect, he prepared to find her again to repay her kindness.
Unexpectedly, she had already married someone else.
This is a sad story.
It's so sad it brings tears to my eyes.
If Lin Yuanlong weren't useful to the Wu family, he would have killed Lin Yuanlong long ago.
Because this guy treats the young lady badly, what a waste!
"Lin Yuanlong, do you know that the person you care so little about is someone some people dream of day and night but can never have?!"
The man in black robes roared. He had completely erupted.
Endless true energy surged forth, overwhelming Lin Yuanlong!
"General!"
Xiao Ning's expression changed, and he rushed to Lin Yuanlong's side, releasing a wall of energy to block the vast true energy.
However, it was no use; the air wall didn't even last a second before it shattered with a crash.
Xiao Ning groaned and flew backward, crashing into the large water vat. With a splash, the vat shattered into pieces, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Girl!"
Lin Yuanlong's eyes were bloodshot.
Although she was a wife provided by the state, at this moment, he felt truly heartbroken.
"You beast, I'll fight you to the death!"
Lin Yuanlong's eyes widened, and he turned around to pick up a large-caliber shotgun from the windowsill.
As a general, it's a habit of him to always keep weapons by his side, and even now that he's retired, he hasn't changed that habit.
I never thought I'd actually need it today!
Bang! Bang!
It was just two trolls.
Two bursts of sparks erupted from the thick muzzle of the gun.
Hundreds of steel balls shot out from the muzzle of the gun!
This specially designed shotgun may not be accurate enough, but it is surprisingly powerful.
Even the man in black robes couldn't help but temporarily halt his attack.
Until all the bullets are used up.
The man in the black robe slowly waved his sleeve down, dispersing the smoke, and revealed a disdainful sneer on his face.
"Lin Yuanlong, stop wasting your time, it's useless. You're going to die today!"
Lin Yuanlong's expression changed.
He knew that today was likely to be a terrible day!
Old dog Wu, I never expected you'd drag me down with you even in your dying moments.
OK!
You succeeded!
It doesn't matter!
Anyway, when I get down here, I'll still find you and fight you to the death!
And my son will carry on my glory!
He is the pride of my Lin family, and the continuation of my life!
In the end, I, Lin Yuanlong, won!
Ha ha ha ha!
Lin Yuanlong burst into tears of joy and then laughed loudly.
Now, it seems there's no hope left.
My son has become successful, and I have no other wishes in this world.
The only regret is that I didn't get to see my grandson.
But what in life is truly perfect?
That's enough!
Lin Yuanlong closed his eyes, feeling the abyss-like true energy crushing down on him.
With a soft "poof!"
He collapsed to the ground, his bones broken.
That one blow was enough to seriously injure him!
The man in black robes slowly walked over, preparing to trample on his body and finish him off.
Just then, a nameless fear suddenly gripped his heart.
This made him hold his foot firmly, refusing to put it down.
"Young man, stop now!"
An aged voice came from behind.
The man in black robes turned his head to look.
Then they saw an old man on the rooftop, who had somehow ended up leaning against something, holding a gourd in his hand and constantly pouring wine into his mouth.
"So it's you, senior!" The man in black clenched his fists tightly.
They dared not make the slightest move.
Because he knew how terrifying this person's cultivation level was.
If you wanted to kill him, it would probably only take a thought.
"I didn't expect you to still remember me!"
"Of course I remember. If it weren't for your guidance back then, I wouldn't have joined your sect and reached where I am today!" the black-robed man said, his eyes gleaming.
Back then, he was just a little beggar who almost starved to death on the streets. A blind fortune teller gave him directions and told him to join that hidden sect.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be where he is today!
You could say that this old blind man was his benefactor!
The old blind man sighed, "Alas, in my entire life, I have always been a man of unwavering judgment, treating everyone equally. I would give a fortune to the rich and treat the poor the same. Back then, you asked me to tell your fortune for you with half a steamed bun. I used my bone-reading technique to tell you that you were no ordinary person. I never imagined that in just twenty or thirty years, you would have reached this point!"
“Even at this point, I am still far inferior to you, senior!” the black-robed man said with a glint in his eyes. He had felt that this old blind man was extraordinary back then, and seeing him again today, the feeling was even stronger.
The other party was like a vast ocean before him, unfathomable, while he himself was like a stream, no, not even a stream, just a small ditch.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so afraid to even move!
"I dare not calculate everything, for I fear the unpredictability of Heaven's way; I dare not let my feelings run too deep, for I fear it will all be just a dream! Even though I, the old blind man, am a master of accurate predictions, I have always regarded this saying as a law of Heaven! Therefore, I did not give you a thorough reading back then, but unexpectedly, it led to Lin Yuanlong's calamity today!" The old blind man sighed, his face full of helplessness.
Back then, he only gave that little beggar a rough calculation without doing a detailed deduction, and unexpectedly made a big mistake!
