Sixty years of blacksmithing, a single hammer blow forging a celestial being.

Dozens of men in black, armed with steel knives, surrounded the two.

"Third Uncle, I...it hurts so much..."

Zhao Yulin's screams, like those of a pig being slaughtered, echoed throughout the hall. Since birth, he had always lived a life of luxury and was the apple of the Zhao family's eye. He could not bear such pain. After screaming a few times, he fainted from the pain.

The man in the blue robe was in no better shape; he had dozens of cuts from barbs on his body and was covered in blood.

But he was, after all, a high-ranking official in the Qi Refining Realm, with abundant spiritual power. With a roar, he forcefully shattered the large net with his spiritual power.

He jumped up from the ground, looked at Zhao Yulin who was lying unconscious on the ground, and felt a surge of rage.

On this trip, the Zhao family patriarch had instructed him to protect the young master no matter what. Now, seeing Zhao Yulin lying on the ground, his body mangled and his life hanging in the balance, how could he not be furious?

This time he was careless and underestimated his opponent.

Who would have thought that a brocade box that had been opened before would suddenly spew out poisonous smoke when opened again?

Who would have thought that someone would actually dare to target the Zhao family, a classic case of double-crossing?

"Aaaaaah! I'm going to kill you all!"

The man in the blue robe had blood-red eyes. He roared and his sleeves billowed as he unleashed several palm strikes.

The man in black was powerless against the man in blue, and each of them was killed in one move. For a time, no one could do anything to him.

"Come on! You scum!"

The man in the blue robe was like a mad beast.

At this moment, he saw Tang Jiannan, who was standing in the crowd with his hands behind his back, watching the battle.

"To catch the thief, you must first catch the king. Only by capturing Tang Jiannan will we have a chance to escape!"

The man in blue robes, having already made his decision, channeled all his inner energy and struck out with a palm towards Tang Jiannan.

Tang Jiannan remained standing in place, without parrying or blocking.

The man in the blue robe felt a slight joy in his heart, thinking to himself:

I used all my strength in this palm strike, yet you are still so arrogant. This is the perfect opportunity for me to escape!

Just as the palm was about to strike, Tang Jiannan suddenly dodged with incredible speed and grabbed the blue-robed man's wrist with one hand.

The man in blue robes was about to exert more force when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist. His hand bones had been crushed by Tang Jiannan!

"what!"

He couldn't help but scream, and threw a punch at Tang Jiannan with his other hand.

Tang Jiannan casually grabbed his other wrist.

Another piercing scream rang out as Tang Jiannan crushed the other wrist!

The man in the blue robe was in so much pain he almost fainted. He raised his leg to kick, but Tang Jiannan was faster and kicked him in the knee.

"Snap!"

The sound of bones breaking rang out, and the knee bent over, broken by Tang Jiannan's kick.

Before the man in the blue robe could even scream, there was another "crack!"

His other leg was also broken.

"Ahhhhh!"

The man in blue robes screamed as Tang Jiannan grabbed him and slammed him to the ground.

The screams stopped abruptly, and the man in the blue robe was completely lifeless.

Clean and neat.

The Qi Refining Stage Great Perfection was dealt with by Tang Jiannan just like that.

Moreover, it was done in an extremely brutal manner.

The group of subordinates dared not even breathe, clearly shocked by Tang Jiannan's brutal methods.

Tang Jiannan twisted his wrist, turned his head and smiled:

"I'm sorry, Li Ping'an, for making you see such an unpleasant scene."

At this moment, Li Ping'an was standing on one side of the hall, his face gloomy.

"Tang Jiannan, you act so ruthlessly, aren't you afraid of the Zhao family's retaliation?"

Li Pingan asked in a deep voice, glancing around out of the corner of his eye.

"hehe……"

Tang Jiannan looked at the blue-robed man's corpse on the ground and said disdainfully.

"I don't even consider the Zhao family a threat."

"Fine, if that's how it is, then you'd better take care of yourself. I don't want my share either, so I'm leaving."

Knowing he wouldn't gain anything today, Li Ping'an turned to leave after saying that.

Do you think I'd let you leave?

Tang Jiannan's voice was as cold as the deepest hell. A dozen men in black, wielding steel knives, surrounded Li Ping'an in the center of the hall.

Li Ping'an's eyes flickered as he looked around, his expression grave.

"Li Ping'an, you don't actually think I'm going to let you go, do you?"

Tang Jiannan looked at Li Ping'an and said with a smile.

"You stole my first place in the trial and then took Lu Xue away. If I don't avenge this, am I even human?"

Li Ping'an sneered:

"I earned everything through my own hard work, yet you accuse me of stealing from you! How can there be such a shameless person in the world!"

Tang Jiannan seemed to be enraged by Li Ping'an's words, his face filled with murderous intent.

"Li Ping'an, I'll kill you today!"

Tang Jiannan shouted, his eyes flashing red light, and his aura surged.

A vortex of air swirled around him, forming a small wind field.

"Boom boom boom..."

A chilling aura emanated from his body, his presence earth-shattering.

"Li Ping'an, do you think I'm the same person I used to be?!"

"I've joined the Yin Ghost Sect, and I'm much stronger than before! Just wait to die!"

Tang Jiannan roared furiously, and a dark red short blade appeared in his hand.

Although the short blade was not long, the red light flashing on its edge was sending out an extremely dangerous signal.

At this moment, Tang Jiannan's aura was exceptionally powerful.

There was a faint feeling that he was about to break through the Qi Refining stage and reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Die!"

Tang Jiannan moved like a ghost, appearing beside Li Ping'an in a flash. The red blade was fast, but made no sound, and stabbed straight towards Li Ping'an's throat.

Li Ping'an raised his right palm, a black light flashed, and a black hammer appeared in his hand.

"Bang!"

As Li Ping'an parried the dagger, he sensed an extremely eerie aura.

Tang Jiannan has indeed joined the demonic path!

But Tang Jiannan didn't give him time to react, and the red blade quickly launched a fierce attack on him.

Like a whirlwind, they relentlessly attacked Li Ping'an's vital points, each move designed to kill.

Faced with such a fierce attack, Li Ping'an was caught off guard.

But after a few moves, he gradually found his rhythm, and his use of the black hammer became increasingly fluid.

Meanwhile, Li Ping'an and Tang Jiannan's forces are also in conflict.

"Sizzle."

Suddenly, a tear appeared on the cuff of Li Ping'an's right sleeve, and streaks of blood seeped down his arm, soaking the hammer handle he was holding.

Someone attacked!

His expression changed slightly, and he immediately raised the black hammer, striking Tang Jiannan's abdomen with his left palm.

Tang Jiannan also raised his left palm and collided with Li Ping'an's palm.

"Boom!"

Two terrifying forces clashed, causing a violent tremor within the hall.

Both of them took a few steps back.

After Li Ping'an stopped, he turned to look to his right.

The purple-haired youth stood there with a resentful smile on his face, holding a dagger that gleamed with a sharp edge in his hand.

He was the one who launched the sneak attack just now.

With his strength, it would have been difficult for him to hurt Li Ping'an.

However, Li Ping'an was engaged in a fierce battle with Tang Jiannan, and before he knew it, Tang Jiannan had succeeded in attacking him.

The wound on his arm was so deep that the bone was visible, and blood was flowing out uncontrollably.

"Hahaha, Li Ping'an, when you took everything from me, did you ever think about this outcome?"

Tang Jiannan laughed heartily, brandishing the dagger in his hand, his tone full of mockery and the pleasure of revenge.
