The city of Hengnan County wasn't large to begin with, and Su Chen and the others were quick walkers. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the brothel from the Zhao Residence.

"Brother Su, should I arrange for my men to help surround and capture Tian Boguang?" Captain Xing asked.

Su Chen shook his head. "No need. A mere Tian Boguang doesn't warrant your assistance. Just wait for me downstairs."

With that, Su Chen entered the brothel alone.

Inside, the brothel was filled with song and dance, a lively scene of women, with a subtle, alluring atmosphere that stirred the heart.

Seeing a strong, handsome young man arrive, many of the singing girls immediately set their sights on Su Chen, casting flirtatious glances his way.

Su Chen remained unfazed, his gaze searching the second floor.

Soon, he found Tian Boguang's whereabouts by a window on the east side of the second floor.

Upon spotting Tian Boguang, Su Chen didn't hesitate and walked directly to the second floor with his saber.

At the same time, on the second floor.

Tian Boguang was engaged in a unique "sitting duel" with Linghu Chong.

A sitting duel, as it was called, involved both parties agreeing to sit in their chairs without moving an inch, engaging in combat within that confined space.

Whoever couldn't stand it and left their chair first would be considered the loser.

The reason for this sitting duel was that Linghu Chong wanted to protect Yi Lin's chastity from Tian Boguang.

Unfortunately, his martial arts were not up to par, and he was no match for Tian Boguang.

He had no choice but to resort to unconventional tactics, hoping to achieve victory through a surprise move.

However, he had overestimated himself and underestimated Tian Boguang.

Tian Boguang sat in his chair and casually swung his saber.

This saber strike, though seemingly careless, was as fast as lightning.

Linghu Chong hadn't even seen the saber's movement clearly before he felt a sharp pain in his chest, a bloody gash already opened.

Seeing Linghu Chong injured, Yi Lin couldn't help but cry out, "Senior Brother Linghu..."

"Silence," Linghu Chong rebuked impatiently, then continued to draw his sword and fight Tian Boguang.

The two exchanged blows, saber and sword clashing.

Amidst the ringing of metal on metal, Linghu Chong sustained over a dozen more wounds, his entire body quickly becoming a bloody mess.

"Brother Linghu, stop. If we continue, I fear for your life," Tian Boguang advised verbally, but his saber attacks showed no signs of weakening, still striking Linghu Chong one after another.

"Brother Tian, it's just beginning, why should we stop?" Linghu Chong gritted his teeth, wielding his long sword to parry Tian Boguang's swift saber strikes.

"If your master, Yue Buqun, were here, he might be able to defeat me. As for you, you should go home and train for a few more years."

As Tian Boguang spoke, his saber speed suddenly increased, like a fierce storm, making it difficult for Linghu Chong to cope.

Linghu Chong was greatly alarmed, even feeling a trace of fear.

He had originally thought that the speed just now was Tian Boguang's limit.

He never expected that his saber techniques could actually accelerate, becoming more than twice as fast as before.

Could it be that only a master like my teacher can defeat Tian Boguang?

With more and more wounds appearing on his body, Linghu Chong's mood grew heavier.

He, as the senior disciple of Mount Hua, usually prided himself on his martial arts prowess and carried himself with arrogance when traveling the jianghu.

Now, facing a lecherous flower thief, he was unable to even defend himself.

For a moment, Linghu Chong felt a deep sense of loss and dejection.

Seeing this, Yi Lin, who was nearby, couldn't bear it any longer.

Although she cared about her chastity, she couldn't bear to watch someone die protecting her.

"Stop, please don't fight anymore. I'm willing to accompany you... willing to sleep with you, as long as you don't harm Senior Brother Linghu."

After saying this, Yi Lin's face turned completely red, and it felt as if all her strength had been drained away.

"Absolutely not!" Linghu Chong shouted to stop her.

"Hahaha," Tian Boguang burst into laughter. "Brother Linghu, the little nun has agreed, why are you still struggling?"

As his voice fell, he swung his saber again, this time faster and more ferocious, directly sending Linghu Chong flying backward.

Linghu Chong fell to the ground, spitting blood. He tried to get up but had no strength left.

"Senior Brother Linghu..." Yi Lin cried out, wanting to help him up, but Tian Boguang blocked her.

"Don't worry, little nun, he's not dead yet. Let's hurry, you can come out and bandage him later."

Saying this, Tian Boguang reached out to touch Yi Lin's face.

However, as his right hand extended halfway, it felt as if he had touched a hot coal, and he quickly retracted it.

A look of solemnity appeared on his face.

"What sharp killing intent, who is this expert?" Tian Boguang held his saber across his chest, his face wary as he stared in the direction of the staircase.

"Thump... thump... thump."

Amidst a rhythm of steady footsteps, a lean man dressed in black martial arts attire, with a ring-pommel long saber hanging at his waist, ascended to the second floor.

This person was Su Chen.

"A monk?"

Tian Boguang looked at Su Chen's neat short hair and couldn't help but mutter.

"Monk, are you here to save this little nun?"

As he spoke, without waiting for Su Chen to respond, Tian Boguang chuckled to himself.

"That's right, a monk saving a nun, it makes perfect sense."

Beside him, Yi Lin, who had already fallen into despair, saw Su Chen arrive and her eyes lit up.

But soon, they dimmed again.

"This senior brother looks about our age, so his martial arts probably aren't much better than ours, at most on par with Senior Brother Linghu. How could he be a match for this lecherous thief."

"It's best not to implicate him and get him injured as well."

With this thought, Yi Lin spoke, "Senior Brother, please leave quickly. This lecherous thief's martial arts are very high. If you get hurt because of Yi Lin, I would truly be committing a sin..."

Su Chen didn't reply. He looked at Tian Boguang, his gaze chilling.

The next second, the ring-pommel long saber at his waist was unsheathed without warning.

He transformed into a sharp arrow, charging towards Tian Boguang.

"So fast..." Tian Boguang was also shocked.

Su Chen's speed was beyond his expectations.

He knew that dodging now would only leave an opening for Su Chen.

Relying on instinct, he raised his short saber above his head, blocking Su Chen's cleaving strike.

"Crack."

A sound of grinding steel rang out. The short saber in Tian Boguang's hand was forcefully split in two by Su Chen.

The short saber being cut in half sent a shiver down Tian Boguang's spine.

His saber was no ordinary item.

It was forged from hundred-refined fine steel and had accompanied him through the martial world for over ten years, being both sturdy and sharp.

Yet now, it was cut open by the person opposite him.

This not only required a sharp blade but also indicated that the person opposite him possessed very high martial arts.

At the very least, it was higher than his own.

His thoughts raced, and Tian Boguang realized this.

"This person's martial arts are very high, I can't fight him, it's best to run first."

"My lightness skill is unmatched in the martial world. If I truly want to escape, no one can stop me."

"Little monk, I'll play with you another day," Tian Boguang said, casually tossing the broken half of his saber towards Su Chen.

Then, without looking back, he leaped towards a nearby window.

Unfortunately, Tian Boguang had underestimated Su Chen's strength.

Before departing from Fuzhou for Hengyang, he had already upgraded his Tread Snow Without Trace to the Grand Completion realm.

In terms of lightness skill and speed, Su Chen was much faster than Tian Boguang.

Su Chen exerted force with his feet, launching himself forward at extreme speed, so fast that the naked eye could no longer track him.

In the blink of an eye, he had intercepted Tian Boguang.

Holding the ring-pommel long saber, he slashed horizontally.

At this moment, Tian Boguang was still looking back towards the brothel window.

Not noticing Su Chen's whereabouts, he felt a bit bewildered in his heart.

"Where did that little monk go?" Tian Boguang thought, then suddenly felt a sharp saber intent approaching from the front.

As he turned his head back, Su Chen's saber was already before his eyes.

"What?" Tian Boguang was greatly alarmed but had no time to dodge. He could only watch as the ring-pommel long saber magnified before his eyes.

"Screech."

The blade cut across his neck, directly decapitating him with a single strike.
