The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

Lan Xiaogu shook her head and said, "Do you know why I can become the number one assassin in the world?"

"The world's number one assassin? Aren't you the world's third-largest assassin? Never mind, that's not important."

The red-flowered water snake sneered.

"You're trying to stall for time so you can poison me, aren't you? The same trick won't work on me."

Lan Xiaogu seemed not to hear what the Red Flower Water Snake said: "It is not difficult for a person to become an assassin, but it is extremely difficult for a person to become the number one assassin in the world. There are three important reasons why I was able to overcome all difficulties to become the number one assassin in the world."

"First, I'm ruthless enough. A person who isn't ruthless can't go on down the path of an assassin."

"Secondly, I am cautious enough that I never reveal any flaws, otherwise I would never have survived to this day."

Lan Xiaogu paused, then a smile appeared on her face.

In contrast to her, the red-flowered water snake's face suddenly darkened.

Could Lan Xiaogu be implying that this is a trap?

No, absolutely not!

Lan Xiaogu continued, "The third and most important reason why I was able to become the number one assassin in the world is that the person you are pointing at now helped me kill the number one and number two assassins in the world."

"Ok?"

In that instant, the once bustling hotel fell into dead silence.

Apart from Lan Xiaogu, no one else was laughing.

The afternoon in late spring was already quite hot, but now everyone in the hotel felt an unusual chill.

Did this blind girl kill Yan Hui and Lu Er?

The Red Flower Water Serpent suddenly roared, "How utterly ridiculous! You think you can scare me with such lies and make me reveal my weakness? I, the Red Flower Water Serpent, have seen it all! You, a mere fledgling, dare to... hehehehe..."

Suddenly, the red-flowered water snake could no longer make normal sounds; only the sound of its teeth chattering could be heard.

"You...who are you?"

Pharmacist Fang involuntarily took a step back.

He saw that the red-flowered water snake's lips and face had turned completely white, as white as a corpse.

But he couldn't understand why the red flower water snake had turned into this.

Poisoned?

But he never saw Lan Xiaogu and that blind man move together.

Lan Xiaogu said, "Who else could be the famous blind swordswoman in the martial arts world these days?"

"The Goddess of Xiaoxiang!" Pharmacist Fang exclaimed, "I should have thought of it sooner, I should have thought of it sooner!"

His expression turned extremely terrified.

"Are you really not human, but a goddess? Otherwise, the Red Flower Water Serpent..."

"Don't worry, this isn't magic. I'm a human being, a living, breathing human being. The only thing to blame is that she was standing too close to me, allowing me to easily channel my inner energy into her body. My inner energy was a bit cold, and that's why she ended up like this."

An Qingwan smiled and grabbed the snake-shaped sword of the red flower water snake.

With a grab and a squeeze, the incredibly sharp serpentine sword was shattered into countless fragments.

"This sword is not as good as Lu Er's Hundred-Step Flying Dragon Spear."

With a whoosh, silver dust shimmered in the air, and the wind howled. The bandits who had followed Red Flower Water Serpent and Thousand-Faced Wanderer screamed in agony. They covered their faces with their hands, rolled on the ground, and died after only a few rolls.

When the hand landed, their faces were riddled with holes from the bullets, a truly horrifying sight!

Fu Zhiyuan was dumbfounded.

What? It can be reversed like this?

The pharmacist was so terrified that his liver and gallbladder felt like they were about to burst.

An Qingwan spoke of it with utmost ease, even going so far as to say that she was a human being.

But putting aside the fact that he just crushed a famous sword with his bare hands, can one person's internal energy really freeze another person to death?

"You are not human. You may be a demon, a ghost, or a god, but you are definitely not human!"

Pharmacist Fang screamed and tried to run away.

But the worms inside him flared up at that moment, and he screamed in agony.

"Boss Fang!"

The Thousand-Faced Hermit was horrified by what he saw.

"You bitch, I'll fight you to the death today!"

When faced with danger, Qianmian Sanren did not run away, but instead showed rare loyalty.

But he had only taken two steps forward when a clear, visible hole appeared in his neck.

If loyalty could be of any use in this life-or-death situation, he would have been killed by the people he had harmed in the past long ago, and wouldn't be alive today.

The Thousand-Faced Hermit leaned back and landed on top of the Plum Blossom Immortal.

Terrified, Mei Zhongxian was no longer as arrogant as before. He covered his empty eye socket and howled, "Spare me, spare me..."

An Qingwan laughed and said, "So you're afraid of death too."

Mei Zhongxian slapped herself twice hard: "I'm afraid of death, I'm most afraid of dying. Goddess, please forgive me, I'm too magnanimous to hold a grudge."

Before An Qingwan could answer, Fu Zhiyuan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, we must not let them off the hook. Each of these four villains has countless blood debts on their hands."

"The eldest pharmacist, Fang, specialized in poisoning and extortion. When a famous doctor of the time exposed his evil scheme, he pierced the doctor's collarbone and hung him on the wall to be exposed to the sun until he died."

"The second brother, Thousand-Faced Hermit, loves killing people the most. After killing someone, he must peel off their face and send the face to the victim's home."

"The third one, Red Flower Water Snake, is the most vicious. Because she was abandoned by a man, she has targeted pregnant women and men ever since. Men are castrated by her, and pregnant women are disemboweled. She even eats people."

"Although Mei Zhongxian killed relatively few people, he has abused at least several hundred women. Even the senior sister of the Wuyi Sect fell victim to his cruelty, being played with and then sold to the barbarians beyond the Great Wall."

Although she had long expected that these four people were not good people, An Qingwan was still surprised after hearing Fu Zhiyuan's words.

Were any of the madmen in the Northern and Southern Dynasties even half as mad as these four?

She thought that the Poison Taoist was "invincible," but she never expected that there were so many "masters" in the outside world.

"**!"

Jin Xueyi couldn't help but curse under her breath.

Mei Zhongxian was sweating profusely with anxiety: "Goddess, please don't believe Fu Zhiyuan's nonsense! He's slandering me!"

Seeing that An Qingwan had already pressed her sword, Ning Buyi hurriedly said.

"Don't rush to kill him. Let me ask him some questions first. He's much easier to question than Pharmacist Fang."

An Qingwan took a deep breath and said, "I'll give you fifteen minutes."

Ning Buyi said, "A quarter of an hour is enough."

He got up and went forward, dragging Mei Zhongxian behind the counter.

His methods were extremely clever; in just a couple of moves, Mei Zhongxian confessed everything.

“I’ll tell you, we were ordered by the Prince of Pingnan. Xiang Dongnan refused the Prince of Pingnan’s invitation, so the Prince of Pingnan ordered us to deliberately provoke a conflict between the Canal Gang and the Liangjiang Gang.”

"Then he ordered us to ambush the branch leaders of the Canal Gang on the way. One reason was to continue to push this matter onto the Liangjiang Gang, and the other was to have us disguise ourselves as the branch leaders of the Canal Gang, infiltrate the Canal Gang meeting, and wait for an opportunity to act."

“This time, the Prince of Pingnan made a big decision. He not only sent us, but also found the two devils of Xiangxi, the evil spirits of Lingnan, Bai Shanzi and others. He was determined that if things failed, he would completely destroy the canal gang and then say that the Liangjiang gang colluded with evil people in the Jianghu to do evil and harm Xiang Dongnan.”

An Qingwan asked in confusion, "What do these people do, and how strong are they?"

Ning Buyi said, "Each of these people has a reputation no less infamous than the Four Evils."

An Qingwan: "..."

The immortals are numerous and numerous.

"This is no royal palace, it's a den of demons!"

An Qingwan was so angry she laughed.

kill.

If she hadn't met these people, that would have been fine, but now that she has, none of them can be left alive!

Thirty-one Disguise Techniques

clang-

Jin Xueyi cleaved open the sealed wooden door with a single sword stroke.

When the wooden door was opened, the first thing that wafted out was a pungent smell of alcohol.

As the smell of alcohol gradually dissipates, a faint smell of blood follows.

An Qingwan asked, "How is he?"

Jin Xueyi's face was pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "There were four people inside. Their hands and feet were broken. The worst off was the woman. Her face was so badly slashed that she was unrecognizable, and her stomach was cut open from the middle."

Although An Qingwan couldn't see, she could imagine the miserable state of the scene.

"Were they the original owners and staff of this hotel? They never entered the underworld, nor did they ever provoke it. They were just honestly running a roadside restaurant when they suddenly met with misfortune and were brutally murdered. Perhaps, until the moment of their death, they didn't know why they died."

Fu Zhiyuan looked apologetic: "If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have ended up like this."

An Qingwan shook her head and said, "The fault lies not with you, but with the Four Evils, and with the true nature of the martial world."

She knew the true nature of the martial arts world all along.

The martial arts world is a huge whirlpool that always drags innocent people into it.

Once these people are involved, it would be considered extremely fortunate if one out of a hundred of them escaped unscathed.

Many people yearn for the martial arts world, only seeing its heroes and romances, but failing to see the "one general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand" within it.

It's not that they can't see it, but they always feel that they will be the successful general, not just a withered bone on the road.

"My father was wary of all this, which is why he was always reluctant to truly enter the world of martial arts, but in the end, he still..."

Jin Xueyi sighed; she understood An Qingwan's emotions best.

Only Ning Buyi said, "So, Miss An is quite sentimental. I thought someone like you, who practices swordsmanship, should be the most composed and ruthless. Otherwise, how could you strike with such a clean and swift sword, taking a life before even making a move?"

An Qingwan did not answer.

The main problem is that she really doesn't know how to answer.

After all, her swordsmanship was developed through experience, not through practice.

Intentionally saying something profound to fool people is actually a bad idea; it's better to act deep and profound, and Ning Buyi will fill in the blanks in his mind.

Seeing that An Qingwan remained silent, Ning Buyi changed the subject: "With such swordsmanship, why was An Qingwan not well-known in the martial arts world before?"

An Qingwan said, "Because I didn't enter the martial arts world before."

Ning Buyi asked, "Why have you entered the martial world again?"

An Qingwan said, "Because the martial arts world took the initiative to come to me."

Ning Buyi said, "It seems that Miss An doesn't like the martial world?"

An Qingwan said, "I don't like the chaos of the martial world."

Ning Buyi said, "Does Lady An hope that the martial arts world will become more orderly?"

An Qingwan said, "But the martial world is the martial world; it can never become orderly."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Ning Buyi laughed.

An Qingwan couldn't see his face, but she knew that his face must be incredibly captivating right now.

Change the world?

What kind of confidence is this? And what kind of narcissism is this?
