"A rich man, going out temporarily and actually staying in a detached villa!"

Baili Qingfeng arrived at Building Four, looking at the villa with a small yard, and muttered to himself.

No wonder he couldn't hear anything after listening at the wall in the accommodation building for an hour...

They simply don't live in ordinary guest rooms.

Poverty limits his imagination.

Baili Qingfeng came to the outside of the villa and concentrated on listening.

Soon, a voice came from inside: "Senior Brother, I just received a call. The two elders and the sect master will arrive around dawn."

"They're finally coming."

Baili Qingfeng still remembered the voice that answered, it was Hong Lie, who had been seriously injured by him.

Finally entered the correct opening mode.

Sure enough, the rumor that you can hear the information you want by listening at the wall is still verifiable.

Baili Qingfeng immediately held his breath and quietly lurked.

"The two elders and the sect master are coming at the same time, isn't that taking him a bit too seriously?"

"A lion uses all its strength to catch a rabbit, not to mention that Baili Qingfeng is by no means weak. His physique and energy are not inferior to a Level 3 Warrior. Ran Tianchi is even more certain that he has cultivated Fist Intent. A Level 3 Warrior who has cultivated Fist Intent can capsize in the gutter if you're not careful... It is right for the sect master to summon two elders to come and join forces to kill him."

Hong Lie's voice echoed again.

The sound in the room stopped.

After a moment, another voice sounded again: "You said... if we get the big secret from Baili Qingfeng, do we have any hope of breaking through to the War-level?"

"War-level... that's another level... not even one out of ten peak Spirit Nurturing experts can successfully break through."

Hong Lie's voice was a little hesitant, and after a moment, he added again: "But this is an unknown number. According to Elder Wang, he saw this person half a year ago, and he almost slapped him to death with one palm. At that time, he was at most an ordinary person with a healthy body, not even a martial artist. But now, in just half a year, he has actually changed from an ordinary person to a martial arts master equivalent to the Spirit Nurturing level and may have cultivated Fist Intent. The depth of his opportunity and the magnitude of his secret are unimaginable... If we can really dig out this secret and take it for ourselves, War-level... may not be completely without hope..."

"War-level, ah..."

Another voice sighed and said nothing.

Hong Lie also didn't say anything more.

Baili Qingfeng quietly lurked, but his heart sank.

"Sure enough, I had guessed long ago that the sects have always been connected by tendons even if their bones are broken, sharing honor and disgrace. After beating the small ones, the old ones come. But I was still harboring Fortunate (a fluke), thinking that after defeating Hong Lie, he would retreat in the face of difficulties. I really underestimated the dangers of the martial world. After being defeated by me, Hong Lie contacted the sect as soon as possible. This time, the two elders and one sect master of the Iron Sword Sect have all rushed over. I need to face three top experts!"

Baili Qingfeng looked nervous and solemn.

Facing three Level 3 experts at the same time...

He was under great pressure.

Fortunately, it's not the worst time yet.

If he was attacked by Hong Lie and the three experts from their Iron Sword Sect without knowing anything about the whole thing, and they even captured his family to threaten him, that would be a real disaster.

For the safety of his family, to survive this imminent deadly crisis...

Fight!

He had to fight!

Fight at the cost of his life!

"The Iron Sword Sect is inherently cruel. Although I don't want to provoke martial arts sects, and I don't want to create unnecessary killings, I, Baili Qingfeng, also have my own code of conduct. I don't offend others unless they offend me! Now that you've bullied me, if I don't resist, I'll be beaten to death. Even ants try to survive, let alone humans!? In the end, even if I have to give up my little life, my remaining life, I have to tear a piece of flesh from your Iron Sword Sect, make your Iron Sword Sect feel pain, make your Iron Sword Sect bleed!"

Baili Qingfeng's eyes flashed with cold light.

Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall.

An honest person pushed to the extreme will also get angry.

When the Son of Heaven is enraged, millions of corpses will lie on the ground; when a commoner is enraged, blood will splatter five steps!

His martial arts skills were not practiced in vain. Tonight, Baili Qingfeng will kill!

Immediately, he left the villa, exited Green Water Manor, and came to a road three hundred meters away from Green Water Manor.

This road was built on a pond embankment, with ponds on both sides. Vehicles could only choose to go forward or backward. The simple terrain greatly reduced the possibility of the enemy escaping after realizing they were no match.

Baili Qingfeng chose a spot and sat down beside an ancient tree by the pond, waiting quietly.

The ancient tree was over a hundred years old, with a trunk diameter of one meter. Coupled with the angle he was sitting at and the cover of the night, no one would be able to detect his location at first glance. And to ensure that he could gain the upper hand in the upcoming one-against-three battle, he also placed a large stone on the road to force the vehicles they were traveling in to stop at a critical moment.

After doing all this, he took a deep breath.

"It's either you die, or my whole family perishes!"

Baili Qingfeng placed the sword horizontally on his knees, stroking the blade while adjusting his Qi, preparing to face the most dangerous battle since his debut.

Time passed, and soon it approached midnight.

Suddenly, the sound of a car driving came over, and he could vaguely see the lights of the car cutting through the black night.

Cars...

There were two of them.

Two cars. From this, it could be inferred that his opponents were definitely not just three people.

Maybe six, maybe eight, maybe even...

Ten!

He wasn't afraid of one-on-one combat, he could take on ten...

Baili Qingfeng's breath hitched slightly.

He closed his eyes slightly, calming his slightly accelerated heartbeat.

"Things have come to this, there is no way to retreat, only to fight with our lives."

Baili Qingfeng squinted his eyes, quietly waiting for the vehicles to arrive, waiting for the moment when the vehicles noticed the large stone in the center of the road and stopped.

The two cars quickly saw the stone on the road with the help of their headlights, and immediately, the cars stopped.

One of the men with strong Qi and Blood got out of the car, cursing, "Which son of a bitch left a rock on the road in the middle of the night?"

He grumbled as he went forward to move the rock, not thinking much of it.

Their actions were secretive; no one but themselves knew their purpose in coming here, so they didn't need to worry about danger.

But just as the car stopped, Baili Qingfeng, who had been hiding behind an ancient tree, suddenly opened his eyes.

They moved!

Draw sword!

The Qi and Blood that had been hidden suddenly surged when he sensed the two strongest auras. With a twist of his foot, the energy throughout his body surged and integrated into the sword. In the next moment, man and sword became one, the sharp sword in his hand like a ray of light piercing the Black Night, piercing through the void with incredible speed, carrying a sharp whistling sound, assassinating the Level 3 Warrior he sensed as the strongest like a thunderbolt.

"[Whoosh!]"

The warrior, stimulated by Baili Qingfeng's killing intent, suddenly opened his eyes, a terrifying light seeming to burst forth, shaking the soul!

"Who!?"

Unfortunately...

Useless.

Fast!

Baili Qingfeng's sword was fast!

Incomparably fast!

He had been conserving his energy for two full hours, rehearsing this sword strike countless times in his mind. Now, it erupted fiercely, drawing his sword and assassinating, truly like a white rainbow piercing the sun, a shocking event!

"[Sizzle!]"

The sharp blade instantly pierced through the car window glass, piercing the Level 3 Warrior's throat as fast as lightning, passing through and emerging from the back of his neck, stained with blood.

One sword, one kill!

Relying on a sudden surprise attack to assassinate one of them, Baili Qingfeng's sword did not stop for even a moment, flying towards the other person in the seat again.

But that warrior reacted extremely quickly.

"Bastard!"

Accompanied by his low roar, the Qi and Blood in his body was like a boiling furnace, his energy erupting, slamming a palm heavily on the car door, creating a palm print on the car door while also sending the entire car door flying, violently crashing towards Baili Qingfeng who was assassinating outside the car.

"[Bang!]"

Baili Qingfeng held his left hand horizontally, blocking the majestic energy from the flying car door, but his figure was still shaken and flew out involuntarily.

While flying backwards, his energy surged and integrated into his spine, his body twisting, like an eagle striking the sky, the sharp sword in his hand flashing past the burly man who had originally gone to move the stone...

Sword light flashed, blood splattered!

The burly man suddenly clutched his throat, but blood still flowed uncontrollably from between his fingers.

"Sect Leader!?"

At this time, a sorrowful roar mixed with anger erupted from the car: "He killed the Sect Leader!"
