In chaotic times, skill points are added: from hunter to martial saint, only killing and no mercy!

In the alley, Li Yi pointed to the second floor of the inn and whispered to Han Jia.

"There are five martial artists here: three at the second level of Body Refinement, one at the third level, and one at the fourth level!"

"They are all martial artists sent by the Cao family!"

"Body Refinement Level Four?"

Han Jia was taken aback, then his brows furrowed and formed a knot.

After switching to the [Wind-Breathing Breathing Technique], Han Jia had already reached the pinnacle of the first level of Body Refinement. Relying on his innate divine strength, he was able to defeat some martial artists at the second level of Body Refinement.

But at this moment, besides the third level of Body Refinement, there is also a fourth level of Body Refinement, which is troublesome!

"It seems the Cao family really wants you dead, Yi-ge!"

Han Jia glared fiercely at the inn, then suddenly said, "Why don't we set it on fire and burn them to death!"

Li Yi was taken aback upon hearing this, then quickly replied:

"There are still many innocent people in this city. Setting fire to them will affect them, and besides, it's not even certain whether they will be burned to death."

"What can we do then? We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we?"

Han Jia was genuinely worried about Li Yi's safety. If it weren't for Li Yi, Han Jia would still be a lowly soldier, practicing the hopeless "Swift Breathing Technique."

"I already have a plan."

Li Yi pondered for a moment, then looked up at the moonlight.

"Go to the Hundred Woods Forest right now and set up the traps according to the map I gave you. I will lure them into the Hundred Woods Forest at midnight."

"We'll use a trap then to give them a good beating!"

Li Yi took out a map from his pocket and whispered instructions to Han Jia.

During the trial at Hundred Wood Forest, Li Yi gained some understanding of its terrain. After narrowly escaping death from three assassins and returning to the military camp, he even obtained a detailed map of Hundred Wood Forest from Song Jie.

After an incense stick had burned, Li Yi stuffed the map into Han Jia's arms.

"Brother Yi, don't worry, I'll definitely get it done!"

Han Jia carefully put away the map, patted his chest to assure Li Yi, and then turned and hurried towards the direction of Bai Mu Lin.

There are still two and a half hours until midnight, enough time for Han Jia to set up the trap.

Watching Han Jia disappear into the distance, Li Yi hid in a corner, closing his eyes to adjust his state.

Dangdang Dangdang!

"It's past midnight!"

"The weather is dry, so be careful with fire!"

The night watchman's voice woke Li Yi from his deep meditation.

As a result of the two-plus hours of rest, Li Yi was in excellent physical and mental condition.

Inside the inn, all was now silent, and all the rooms were shrouded in darkness.

"It's about time, we should get going."

After observing for a while, Li Yi activated the skill [Reconnaissance and Concealment] and quietly sneaked into the inn.

Based on what we learned when we first entered the inn, the entire inn had been booked by the Cao family's merchant caravan. Ordinary caravan members were staying on the first floor, while four martial artists were staying on the second floor.

As for the strongest Body Refinement Level 4 martial artist, he lives alone in a room on the third floor.

This, in turn, made things convenient for Li Yi.

Although the plan was to lure these people into the Hundred Woods Forest, weakening them beforehand would be excellent.

Li Yi gently inserted the knife into the door and pushed it upwards, opening the door.

Inside the room, a martial artist at the second level of Body Refinement was fast asleep.

With the support of the three skills [Swift Breathing Technique], [Hunting], and [Reconnaissance Concealment], Li Yi quietly approached the martial artist's side.

Looking down at the martial artist, Li Yi remained calm.

"Don't blame me, blame yourself for following the wrong person!"

Suddenly, Li Yi reached out and covered the martial artist's mouth, then thrust his right hand into the martial artist's chest several times.

The intense pain caused the martial artist to instinctively struggle, but Li Yi had his hands, feet, mouth, and nose under control, so he couldn't make a sound.

A moment later, the martial artist who had been ambushed fell silent and lay flat on the bed.

"There are four more."

After wiping the blood off the dagger with the bedding on the bed, Li Yi moved on to the next room.

With familiar techniques, Li Yi successfully entered the room and stood in the shadows.

The person living in this room is the second strongest in the caravan, a martial artist at the third level of Body Refinement Hard Flesh Realm!

Because of the difference in their cultivation levels, Li Yi had no intention of controlling it this time.

After quietly sneaking to the side of the bed, Li Yi didn't dare to delay. After using night vision to identify the situation, he directly slashed at the other person's neck with his knife.

"Who?"

As expected of a martial artist at the third level of body refinement, the powerful killing intent instantly awakened him the moment Li Yi suddenly attacked.

As the blade drew ever closer, in the face of life and death, the martial artist's potential erupted instantly.

With a swift twist of his neck, the martial artist narrowly avoided Li Yi's short sword.

But in the next instant, Li Yi made a sweeping motion.

"ah!"

The short sword sliced ​​open the martial artist's chest, and blood gushed out.

"Who's there!?"

After the warrior screamed, various noises suddenly erupted from the surrounding rooms, waking up everyone in the caravan.

With his five senses heightened, Li Yi could even sense a powerful surge of energy rapidly approaching him.

He is a martial artist at the fourth level of Body Refinement, Bone Tempering Realm!

Seeing this, Li Yi didn't dare to delay and rushed out of the room. In a few quick movements, he arrived on the first floor.

With one member of the Cao family dead and another wounded, their fighting strength reduced by more than half, Li Yi's objective was successfully achieved.

At this moment, the Cao family members, who had been awakened, had already lit their torches.

The fourth-level Body Refinement martial artist, who had just arrived on the second floor, also flashed down to the first floor.

Using the firelight around him, the martial artist took a closer look and was overjoyed.

"You, Li Yi, how dare you come to our door of your own accord! You have some nerve!"

"But since you've chosen to die, I, Cao Cheng, will take pity on you and send you on your way sooner!"

Upon recognizing that the person who had infiltrated the inn was none other than Li Yi, the target of their mission, Cao Cheng was not angry but rather pleased.

Anyway, only the recruited martial artists died; they weren't of Cao family blood. The Cao family could have as many of these kinds of people as they wanted.

But Li Yi had killed two members of the Cao family, which Cao Cheng, who had always been proud of the Cao family, could not tolerate.

How dare these lowly commoners lay a hand on the noble Cao family!

When it came to Qinghe County to capture Li Yi, it was Cao Cheng who volunteered.

Cao Cheng darted out of the inn in a few strides, while Li Yi had already disappeared into the dark alley.

Seeing Cao Cheng follow, Li Yi felt reassured; the other party had taken the bait.

"Anyone can talk big, but let's go outside the city and settle this one-on-one!"

Seeing that Li Yi was not only not afraid, but also provoked him, Cao Cheng became even more furious. He took a long spear from his subordinate and rushed towards Li Yi.

For a time, Li Yi fled and Cao Cheng chased after him, and the commotion they caused even woke up many people.

Watching Cao Cheng's departing figure, the martial artist who had been injured by Li Yi earlier quickly bandaged himself up, gave the caravan a few instructions, and then, with the remaining two Body Refinement Level 2 martial artists, followed closely in Cao Cheng's footsteps.

Cao Cheng is a direct descendant of the Cao family; if it weren't for the slightest mishap...

Under the moonlight, Li Yi, armed with a gun and carrying a bow, relied on the powerful mobility of the [Swift Breathing Technique] to leave Cao Cheng and the others far behind.

When the Cao family slowed down, Li Yi would make sarcastic remarks to keep them following him towards the Hundred Wood Forest.
