Ning Chuan wrapped an arm around Xiao Lian's slender waist, wantonly toying with her.
"Killing intent!"
Suddenly, Ning Chuan shuddered.
This was a natural reaction born from his powerful physique.
The curtain of rain filling the sky suddenly parted, as though someone had pressed pause on the raging storm.
Six longswords gleamed with an icy, sinister light, shrieking as they tore through the air and launched attacks from six directions.
Above and below, front and back, left and right—every path was sealed!
By the time Ning Chuan and Xiao Lian reacted, the sword tips were already within several feet of them.
This was meant to kill them in a single blow!
Behind the weapons, the eyes of the six black-clad, masked men were as sharp as hawks, gleaming with the delight of a successful ambush.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Ning Chuan grabbed Xiao Lian and abruptly retreated.
Two deafening clangs rang out.
The two weapons attacking from behind were smashed apart directly against Ning Chuan's body, their fragments scattering in every direction.
Ning Chuan was completely unharmed, while the tiger's mouths of the two masked men burst open. They were flung high into the air, their eyes filled with profound terror.
At the same time, golden light flashed. The Great Strength Vajra Palm became a ring of palm shadows, sending the two masked men attacking from the front flying backward while vomiting blood.
Before the two even hit the ground, they had already fainted.
Just then, a black-clad man pounced down from above, his long saber viciously chopping toward the heads of Ning Chuan and Xiao Lian.
With a ringing clang, the Embroidered Spring Saber at Ning Chuan's waist flew from its sheath. A flash of saber light appeared, instantly shredding the oil-paper umbrella overhead and shooting straight at the black-clad man in the air.
A thunderous boom sounded. The black-clad man's body jolted in midair, then he shot skyward like a cannonball, blasted high into the air.
Only the final spear remained, thrusting straight at Ning Chuan's throat.
Ning Chuan neither dodged nor evaded. He suddenly opened his mouth wide and viciously bit down on the spearhead.
His teeth collided with the metal spearhead, producing a piercing clang of metal against metal.
Then he violently whipped his head aside, wrenching the great spear from the black-clad man's hand.
The spear shaft scraped rapidly against his palm, instantly flaying off a layer of skin.
The black-clad man looked at his bloody palm, then at the spearhead clenched between Ning Chuan's teeth. His face immediately filled with panic, as though he had seen some great terror, and he turned to flee.
How could Ning Chuan let him have his way? Stepping on the Heavenly Pivot, he became an afterimage and instantly caught up behind the black-clad man.
He reached forward with one large hand and seized the man by the neck, lifting him like a chick. With a slight squeeze, the black-clad man fainted.
Looking behind him again, the two black-clad men who had just been sent flying had only just landed. Their eyes were wide with panic as they prepared to run.
Ning Chuan kicked up the spear on the ground, and a black streak instantly caught up with the fleeing black-clad man.
With a wet splurt, the spear pierced through the black-clad man's thigh and nailed him firmly to the wall.
The tremendous force made the spear's tail hum and tremble, shredding the muscles in the man's thigh, crushing his bones to pieces, and sending blood spraying everywhere—along with one thigh.
"Aah!"
The black-clad man let out an earth-shaking scream. He had completely lost the ability to move!
Seeing his companion suffer such a miserable fate, the other black-clad man was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body.
He desperately circulated his cultivation technique and, in the blink of an eye, had fled more than thirty yards away.
Ning Chuan brushed his waist, and the saber flew from its sheath in a spinning streak of light. It instantly passed through the black-clad man's legs and vanished into the boundless darkness.
The black-clad man only felt a chill in his legs. With a thud, his upper body fell to the ground and rolled several yards forward.
He released a miserable howl, clawing desperately at the ground with both hands as he struggled to crawl forward.
Without his legs, he could not get far!
In the span of a hare's rise and a falcon's fall, Ning Chuan had already dealt with five black-clad men.
The last black-clad man descended from the sky. From high above, he had seen everything.
A chill surged from his tailbone straight to the crown of his head, freezing his hands and feet with fear until they no longer obeyed him.
"Spare me!"
Before Ning Chuan could make a move, the black-clad man had already thrown away his weapon in midair. The moment he landed, he flipped over and dropped to his knees, banging his head against the ground with loud thuds.
"Spare me, my lord!"
"Spare me, my lord!"
Ning Chuan kicked out, sending the black-clad man skidding over the ground for more than thirty yards. With a bang, he slammed into the wall, tilted his head, and fainted.
After a few swift leaps, he had knocked all the black-clad men to the ground. Full of smug satisfaction, he turned to look at Xiao Lian.
Xiao Lian's soft, obedient long hair had come loose, soaked through by the rain and draped over one shoulder.
Her soft clothes clung tightly to her body, concealing and revealing all the right places, outlining exaggerated curves and exuding deadly temptation.
The skin on her cheeks was delicate and tender, dotted with large raindrops that made her complexion appear even more crystalline, like jade.
Rainwater flowed across her cheeks and over her lips. Unconsciously, her fragrant tongue slipped out and lightly licked them, instantly stirring Ning Chuan's desire.
"Gulp!"
Green light flashed in Ning Chuan's eyes as his Adam's apple bobbed. He pounced at her.
Xiao Lian was as slippery as a loach. In an instant, she pulled more than ten feet away from Ning Chuan and looked at him with an unfriendly expression.
"Boy, don't push your luck!"
Xiao Lian spoke each word slowly, frost covering her pretty face as her teeth ground together with a creak.
Ning Chuan's outstretched hand froze awkwardly in midair, his old face burning as if on fire.
It felt like his hormones had been released!
This girl was fine just now, but now there's no going back!
Still, haste makes waste. After the first time, there'll be countless more!
Ning Chuan comforted himself inwardly. Looking at the black-clad men sprawled across the ground, irritation rose in his heart.
You bastards, you could have come early or late, but you had to show up at this critical moment and ruin my good time. Let's see how I deal with you!
These black-clad men had provoked Lord Ning, who held grudges. Their miserable endings were already set in stone.
"Lady Xiao Lian, how do you think we should deal with them?"
Ning Chuan hurriedly changed the subject to hide his embarrassment.
Xiao Lian stepped forward and used her saber to lift one man's mask. She examined him closely.
"Eh!"
"This is Black Crow, First Boss of Black Wind Stronghold!"
Xiao Lian cried out in surprise, her face full of disbelief.
Black Crow, First Boss of Black Wind Stronghold, was a Martial Arts Sixth Rank expert and one of the top fighters in all of Qingshan County. Yet he had been defeated by this kid.
Xiao Lian was shocked by Ning Chuan's strength. Thinking of how Ning Chuan had taken liberties with her earlier, a trace of delight quietly rose in her heart.
Looking at Ning Chuan now, she found him handsome and pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Lian looked at the other black-clad men, a faint expectation stirring in her heart, and lifted their masks one by one.
"Ah!"
"This is the First Boss of Bishui Wu!"
"This is the First Boss of Wolf Fang Mountain!"
"This is the First Boss of Green Ox Ridge!"
"This is the First Boss of Qingfeng Stronghold!"
"This is the First Boss of Ghost Cry Ridge!"
Xiao Lian cried out again and again, her shock beyond measure!
Not only were these six bosses powerful, they were also as crafty as foxes. Yet they had all come together to kill Ning Chuan.
What on earth had Ning Chuan done to incur such wrath from Han the Lapdog?
The fact that the Han Family supported the bandit forces of Qingshan County behind the scenes was no secret to Xiao Lian.
After her initial shock, Xiao Lian gradually calmed down.
"This matter is too serious. We must report it to Miss immediately!"
