evil tycoon

"He's only at the Qi Gate? He's so young."

"That can't be, I don't believe it."

Nine people stepped forward in total.

Han Ping'an is the youngest among them.

Besides, the youngest of them all looked to be in their thirties.

It wouldn't be a problem to say he's the "most handsome guy" among them.

Even Wu, the county magistrate, couldn't help but take a second look.

"Young man, the competition now is for the position of deputy commander. Have you already reached the Qi Gate stage?" A middle-aged man squinted and stared intently.

"How dare I compete with you all if I haven't even reached the Qi Gate stage?"

Han Ping'an smiled faintly.

In short, it's an admission.

hiss!

A collective gasp instantly echoed throughout the courtyard.

Another person couldn't hold back any longer.

"How old is the little brother?"

"Not even twenty."

hiss!

The elders of all four clans were deeply moved.

Especially the Li family.

Although the Li family is not considered the strongest among the four clans, its eldest son is undoubtedly the number one prodigy in Jing County.

But compared to the person in front of me, he is still somewhat lacking.

"Sir, which company are you from?"

Faced with the questions, Han Ping'an accepted them all and turned to look at Lu Tingxue with a smile.

At that glance, Lu Tingxue's heart pounded.

"I am honored by Miss Lu's high regard; otherwise, I would not have had the opportunity to come here today."

  

As soon as she finished speaking, all eyes were fixed on Lu Tingxue.

Lu Tingxue remained expressionless, but a glint appeared in her eyes.

This is an open and undisguised act of boarding the Lu family's ship.

Who says Young Master Han is clueless?

He's so savvy.

Even if he fails to secure the position of deputy commander, the Lu family will still make a huge profit just by the fact that he entered the Qi Cultivation Realm at such a young age.

Such geniuses are rare and hard to come by.

However, at this moment, Han Ping'an suddenly felt as if he had a thorn in his back.

The gazes that were just moments before filled with surprise and suspicion instantly turned hostile.

He didn't care at all and remained calm and composed.

"Let's begin."

"Nine people will be divided into three groups by drawing lots. The strongest among them will become the final three deputy commanders. There are no rules."

Wu Ying's shout interrupted the thoughts of everyone in the courtyard.

While the people in front of him were drawing lots, Han Ping'an calmly observed the other eight competitors.

It's difficult to ascertain the truth.

But the intangible feelings he received were not weak.

Once inside the gate, the acupoints are sealed off and remain hidden, making it difficult to perceive their true nature.

Only a real fight can do it.

These people who dare to compete must have some skills.

But I have quite a few tricks up my sleeve too.

When the box came to him, Han Ping'an reached inside, pulled out a folded piece of paper, unfolded it, and saw that the number 'three' was printed on it.

"Draw three numbers, and those who draw the same number form a group."

"I am number three."

"Me too."

……

Everyone in the courtyard retreated to a corner, leaving the center to the nine people.

Han Ping'an stared at his two opponents, who were complete strangers.

A man who looked to be around forty years old and was short in stature.

The other one was quite tall and appeared to be about the same age as the first.

"Snake Hand Gang, Zheng Fang."

The taller martial artist spoke first, his eyes sharp, pointing at the shorter martial artist: "He is Liu Yong from Wantong Escort Agency."

"Let's join forces and get him out of the game first."

"it is good."

Han Ping'an's eyes flashed, and he didn't hesitate.

He sprang into action the instant the words left his mouth.

At the same time, Zheng Fang also attacked Liu Yong.

"Oh shit."

Liu Yong cursed loudly and unleashed both palms, creating a violent surge.

His true energy surged wildly, crisscrossing and spreading like a raging sea, its offensive power covering his entire body.

boom!

Han Ping'an's five fingers were like hooks, his hands were like claws, and he was covered in Yin energy as he launched a relentless attack on Liu Yong.

Bang!

In the instant of the confrontation, his arms trembled as he felt immense pressure.

Liu Yong's abilities are truly formidable.

"snort."

Han Ping'an let out a cold snort, his two orifices surging and his inner sea churning.

In an instant, the claw shadows shifted like a tide, the offensive power increased several times over, and it immediately tore through Liu Yong's energy defense line, carrying a terrifying and fierce aura that pressed down on him.

The onlookers all looked astonished.

"This kid is incredibly strong."

"This aura of malevolence is truly extraordinary."

"But he doesn't look like a good person at all."

"Damn it, how many good people are there?"

……

Boom!

Liu Yong let out a muffled groan and retreated in a sorry state.

It was clear that they were unable to resist Zheng Fang's pressure.

Han Ping'an's strength was beyond expectations. If he had just entered the Qi Gate and was weak and frail, he might have had a chance, but he was far from simple.

The competition is unruly, and the grouping is entirely based on luck.

But luck is also a part of ability.

In the other two groups, one person was instantly attacked by the other two and forced to retreat.

There is only one group, and they are fighting one by one.

In just over ten breaths.

Liu Yong shouted, "I admit defeat!"

The campaign came to an abrupt end.

Liu Yong retreated repeatedly, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face extremely pale.

Although he was extremely frustrated and angry, he did not show it at all.

He merely glanced at Han Ping'an and Zheng Fang with a gloomy expression, snorted, and retreated.

A loss is a loss.

Eyes facing each other.

Zheng Fang smiled faintly: "You're not weak, do you need to rest?"

"You're not weak either, so there's no need for you to rest." Han Ping'an's eyes were wary, and his whole body was tense.

In his opinion, Zheng Fang was even more ruthless than Liu Yong.

The Snake Hand Gang was supported by the Lu family.

You could say they're wearing the same pair of pants.

But now, neither side will back down.

Zheng Fang said quietly, "I suggest you admit defeat, otherwise you might lose control and get hurt, which isn't worth it."

Swish!

Han Ping'an suddenly leaped into the air.

Wow!!

He unleashed a torrent of Yin energy that transformed into a terrifying, dark sea, crashing down upon Zheng Fang like a raging torrent.

Jiang Long was filled with horror, and his body trembled.

Very competitive.

This guy is a monster.

the other side.

Lu Tingxue's eyes shone brightly.

This kind of power is not something that can be achieved at an ordinary Qi level.

Beside her, the Lu family elder lowered his voice: "Tingxue, I didn't expect you to have secretly recruited such a prodigy."

"We must tie him to our Lu family; he'll be a great asset in the future."

"Judging from his sinister aura, he is definitely not a kind person. We should not be stingy with what we should give him."

Lu Tingxue nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, elder."

The Lu family elder looked satisfied, then suddenly changed the subject: "Does this lad have feelings for you?"

Lu Tingxue's expression froze for a moment, but she wasn't embarrassed. She frowned and pondered, "I haven't figured it out yet."

How can you tell?

I've only met them twice.

I haven't been to the Lu family since I returned from outside the city.

Moreover, the brutal methods used outside the city didn't seem like they had any designs on me.

Just then.

Zheng Fang's muscles bulged, and with a ferocious, beast-like punch, he smashed the dark sea, sending streaks of light flying in all directions.

The two figures clashed fiercely, as if engaged in close combat.

Bang!

Han Ping'an's body trembled, and a tremendous force surged through his arm, causing his internal organs to churn violently.

Her face flushed instantly.

"Kid, it's not shameful to lose to me."

"Don't take it to heart, we're all on the same side."

Zheng Fang grinned and threw out both fists at once.

Roar!

A tiger-like shadow leaped out, accompanied by a massive fist shadow, its gaping maw like a dark cloud pressing down, bringing immense pressure.

The ground trembled violently.

The tiger's roar was deafening and awe-inspiring.

Han Ping'an let out a muffled groan and retreated in a disheveled manner, but the corners of his lips suddenly turned up.

Within his body, the Nether Sea erupted once more, engulfing him in black flames.

From within the two orifices, the giant snake leaped out and merged into one.

Inside the Cauldron of Life.

The strongest Blood Shadow Silkworm is poised to strike.

"Don't be angry if you lose to me."

The low laughter reached Zheng Fang's ears, causing him to frown deeply and instantly become extremely alert, daring not to underestimate it in the slightest.
