The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun.

"I am a disciple of the Huashan Sect. I heard that Tian Boguang committed a crime of 'flower picking' in Hanzhong Prefecture, so I came here specifically to arrest him. This is a prohibition token from your Hanzhong Prefecture."

Upon hearing this, the leading officer noticed that the other man's plaque was the same as his own and immediately felt relieved.

"Oh, so it's one of our own."

The official relaxed and smiled.

It was a false alarm, a false alarm.

"So you are a great hero from the Huashan Sect. I am Wang Yin, the head constable of Hanzhong Prefecture. I was unaware of your identity earlier. Please forgive me."

Jiang Ning frowned slightly as he looked at the group of officials.

These people were so afraid of him just by seeing him; don't even think about expecting them to capture Tian Boguang.

Seeing Jiang Ning's gaze, the group of officials felt a little embarrassed.

There was nothing they could do. They had heard that these江湖人 (jianghu people) were ruthless killers with high martial arts skills, able to fly around, and they only had so much silver a month, so they didn't dare to risk their lives.

Jiang Ning nodded slightly and asked, "Have you discovered anything?"

Wang Yin shook his head and said, "No, we patrolled for most of the night and didn't find any trace of Tian Boguang."

Jiang Ning nodded. Actually, he had just asked casually and didn't expect to get any information from these people.

Just as Jiang Ning was about to leave, a government official came running towards them from a street corner in the distance.

Upon seeing Wang Yin and his men, the officer ran towards them, shouting as he went.

"Boss, boss, we've found Tian Boguang's trail!"

Chapter 104: The Same old trick

"what?"

Wang Yin was startled and subconsciously showed a tense expression, but relaxed when she saw Jiang Ning beside her.

Although this person is very young, he flew around like that just now and dared to capture Tian Boguang all by himself, so his martial arts skills must be very high.

"Where is he?"

Having figured this out, Wang Yin felt more confident and asked in a deep voice when the official came in front of him.

"On Chenghua Avenue in the north of the city, when we arrived we found him fighting with several people from Huashan."

The officer, panting heavily, pointed in the direction of the north of the city.

"Oh?"

Wang Yin frowned, then looked at Jiang Ning beside him: "Great hero, we..."

Wang Yin was taken aback.

Jiang Ning's figure had disappeared at some point.

"Boss, the Huashan Sect member had already left when Xiao Liu was talking about it."

A nearby official said weakly.

……

Jiang Ning quickened his pace, leaping continuously from rooftop to roof. If anyone else could see him, they would only see a shadow flashing past.

As Jiang Ning drew closer, the sounds of fighting from not far away reached their ears.

Liang Fa, Gao Genming, and other Huashan disciples were engaged in a fierce battle with a man in fine clothes.

At this moment, the place where they were fighting was filled with flying sand and stones, and some Huashan disciples kept throwing out lime powder from their hands while fighting.

A group of officials stood outside them, holding long swords, and dared not go in.

Tian Boguang held one hand across his face and the other hand held a single-edged sword to face his enemy.

Tian Boguang's furious voice rang out.

"Why do you have so much lime powder? Using such despicable methods, are you still righteous disciples?"

Liang Fa, Gao Genming, and other Huashan disciples sneered and did not answer.

To be honest, while this method is indeed a bit unethical, it's undeniably exhilarating.

Tian Boguang was stronger than them, but he couldn't do anything about them.

Moreover, he felt no psychological burden whatsoever when using such methods against Tian Boguang.

One of the Huashan disciples felt that throwing things at the same time wasn't enough, so he deliberately sheathed his sword and retreated to the side to find an opportunity to throw lime powder and chili water at Tian Boguang.

"Shameless! Shameless!!"

Tian Boguang was so angry that his hands were trembling.

He had no idea who taught these Huashan disciples their tricks. They used pepper spray and lime powder, and that was bad enough. They also frequently launched sneak attacks, using the same methods as the kid he met outside Hengshan City. They were simply not disciples that Yue Buqun could have taught.

He originally thought there was only one Huashan disciple like Jiang Ning, but who knew that apart from Linghu Chong, all the other Huashan disciples were like that, even more shameless than him.

The opposing team has been using lime powder and pepper spray non-stop since the start of the fight, which has made him feel restricted and extremely frustrated. He had no idea that the opposing team had brought so much lime powder.

This completely overturned his understanding of prestigious and upright families.

These people weren't particularly strong, but they were exceptionally difficult to deal with. Most importantly, for some reason, they were extremely wary of him, surrounding him without attacking. Whenever he tried to break through, they would attack him again, constantly watching his every move. This made it impossible for him to even throw some sleeping pills or other sedatives at them. They were incredibly cautious.

"Everyone says Yue Buqun is a gentleman swordsman, a true gentleman, yet he has taught you despicable and shameless scoundrels. I think his title of gentleman swordsman is just an empty name. What gentleman? He's nothing but a hypocrite!"

Tian Boguang was both angry and furious, and kept cursing under his breath.

"Barking wildly."

Liang Fa and the others remained unmoved, while the disciple who was throwing lime powder not far away sneered.

when!

Tian Boguang slashed sideways with his single-edged sword. The Huashan disciple opposite him lost his footing with his longsword and his hand trembled. Tian Boguang seized the opportunity, his eyes fierce. With a flick of his wrist, he slashed horizontally with his single-edged sword, ready to disembowel him in the next second.

At that very moment, a sharp whistling sound came from behind.

The familiar feeling of being stabbed in the back made the hairs on Tian Boguang's back stand on end.

Ignoring the Huashan disciple, Tian Boguang lunged forward, dodging the attack with a face-first gesture.

when!when!when!

Liang Fa and other Huashan disciples slashed with their longswords, but Tian Boguang rolled around on the ground, dodging each attack with his excellent agility. Although his movements were awkward, he did manage to dodge them.

After rolling to a safe place, Tian Boguang stood up like a carp leaping out of the water. He looked at the familiar figure in the crowd opposite him with a mixture of surprise and anger, and couldn't help but shout angrily.

"It's really you!"

Jiang Ning looked at him with a cold smile without saying a word, then his figure blurred as he drew his sword and charged towards Tian Boguang.

The distance between the two was not long; in Tian Boguang's eyes, it was only a blink of an eye. This speed made Tian Boguang's eyelids twitch wildly.

This kid is even better than last time.

In that instant, Tian Boguang wanted to run away. He glanced behind him and saw no Huashan disciples blocking his way, only a few trembling officials holding knives, looking at him fiercely but inwardly weakly.

Having already decided to leave, Tian Boguang no longer had any desire to fight and prepared to turn and run away after receiving this attack.

As Tian Boguang thought this, he already had his knife in a defensive position, but the attack he had imagined did not come.

Tian Boguang was surprised. The next second, he saw the cold smile on Jiang Ning's face and the raised left hand of the other party.

"what!!"

Tian Boguang screamed in pain.

The lime powder that Jiang Ning threw with his left hand had gotten into Tian Boguang's eyes, and his eyes were now burning with pain.

It's happening again!

It was the same last time. It was all about sneak attacks and ambushes. The tactics were the same as always, nothing had changed!

He should have known better. This kid has no martial ethics, resorting to all sorts of sneak attacks and ambushes, completely lacking the conduct of a righteous disciple. Yet, Tian Boguang just doesn't learn his lesson and still falls for it.

Tian Boguang felt that this kid was simply his nemesis, and he had a feeling that nothing good would come of meeting this kid.

Unlike before, when Jiangning threw mud, now he's throwing lime powder, making the pain many times stronger.

Tian Boguang screamed in agony.

But Jiang Ning did not stop; he slashed down with his longsword.

The intense pain from the lime powder corroding his eyes blurred Tian Boguang's vision, but he instinctively sensed danger and quickly retreated, instinctively raising his hand to shield his face, fearing that the other party would resort to such underhanded tactics again.

"what!!!"

Tian Boguang let out another heart-wrenching scream. His hands were covered in blood, and several fingers had fallen to the ground.

Tian Boguang's face was contorted with pain.

He had never suffered such a heavy loss since his debut, except for two times at the hands of this kid.

Seeing that Jiang Ning had severely injured Tian Boguang in just a couple of moves, Liang Fa and the other Huashan disciples were excited and rushed over to kill Tian Boguang.

Despite his severe injuries, Tian Boguang did not stop, nor did he even consider revenge against Jiang Ning. Instead, he fled into the distance.

Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes and then chased after him.

Tian Boguang's lightness skill was extremely impressive. If he were to run for his life, there would be few people in the world who could catch him. However, at this moment, his eyes were blurred by the corrosion of lime powder, and he staggered as he ran, almost crashing into the wall several times.

Jiang Ning followed him like a ghost in the night, his speed terrifying Tian Boguang. He tried desperately to escape, but he couldn't shake off Jiang Ning. Moreover, the distance between them kept closing.

"what!!"

Tian Boguang screamed in agony as Jiang Ning slashed his back with his sword, leaving a terrifying 30-centimeter-long gash that was deep enough to expose the bone.

Perhaps it was the fear of impending death that made Tian Boguang's will to survive so strong. After being slashed by Jiang Ning, his speed did not decrease but increased, and he once widened the distance between the two. However, he was caught up by Jiang Ning again not long after.

Jiang Ning chased after him and struck again with his sword.

"what!!"

Tian Boguang screamed in agony as his left arm disappeared.
