"Kill you, and the money will be mine. The woman will be mine too, and I can even get a hefty sum from her family. Why wouldn't I?"

After saying that, he silently appeared directly in front of the heavy-hammered man.

The man's expression changed.

Xu Qing's movement technique had startled him.

He abruptly raised his heavy hammer and swung it upward!

"Die!"

Yet Xu Qing merely shifted slightly to the side with effortless grace.

He actually dodged the massive hammer once again by a hair's breadth.

The man was instantly overcome with helplessness, his entire body turning cold.

This man's movement technique was far superior to his!

They were not on the same level at all!

The next moment.

The long spear in Xu Qing's hand trembled slightly like an enraged dragon.

He thrust forward.

Before the man's very eyes, it instantly pierced through his neck!

"Pfft!"

Before the blood could even hit the ground.

Xu Qing had vanished again!

From beginning to end.

That heavy-hammered man had looked like an ordinary person with no ability to fight back at all!

"Third Brother! Aaahhh!!!! You've gone too far!"

Watching his blood brothers get slaughtered by Xu Qing, the middle-aged man flew into a rage like an angry lion.

Roaring, he charged madly at Xu Qing.

The sword light in his hand instantly intertwined into a swath of Bai Lian,

Under the moonlight,

It transformed into a Sword Qi Storm, incomparably frenzied!

Caught off guard.

Xu Qing, illuminated by the sword light from the darkness, was instantly suppressed by Liu Zun.

For a time, he could only retreat continuously and defend with all his might!

Xu Qing's expression darkened. This man had actually erupted with strength no weaker than his own at this moment!

Had the battle between life and death brought out extraordinary potential?

"Kill!"

With only the last enemy remaining, Xu Qing went all out as well.

The Alloy Battle Spear danced wildly in his hands, its curtain of spear shadows like a turtle shell—immovable as a mountain, firmly blocking the sword light outside.

Xing Yi Fist, Turtle Form Spear Intent!

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The violent collisions echoed through the night sky as huge sparks flew in every direction.

The two fought to the point of madness.

The amusement park structures around them were continuously destroyed by the aftershocks of their battle, as if they were made of paper!

The middle-aged man's combat technique was clearly inferior to Xu Qing's.

But his practical combat experience was extremely rich.

Almost every move targeted Xu Qing's vital points.

Under such a threat of death, even though Xu Qing possessed countless techniques,

He was temporarily unable to catch his breath beneath the other man's utterly mad onslaught!

But an attack could not be sustained for long.

Especially such a life-risking, exhausting barrage from the middle-aged man!

Xu Qing was younger than him!

At a certain moment.

Xu Qing let out a furious roar, his long spear like an extended fist.

In an instant, he withdrew half a step with his footwork.

Then he suddenly thrust out.

Half-Step Collapsing Spear!

"Bang!"

This strike.

Was practically the peak of Xu Qing's current explosive power!

A terrifying force of nearly forty tons instantly sent the middle-aged man's Long Sword flying.

An opening!

Xu Qing moved like a dragon. The Xing Yi Five Elements Spear instantly combined with the Night Concealment Movement Technique.

In a flash and a step forward.

He closed right up to the middle-aged man's face like a ghost.

"Die!!!"

With a roar.

Bang!

Xu Qing instantly abandoned his spear and threw a punch.

His entire body resembled a fully drawn bow.

Every muscle in his body suddenly tensed.

Then he fiercely blasted a punch forward!

Cannon Fist!

Thud!

"Pfft!"

Xu Qing's punch landed solidly on the middle-aged man's chest.

Xu Qing clearly heard the dense sound of bones breaking in the man's chest.

The middle-aged man's face abruptly turned pale.

Like a ragged sack, he was violently sent flying backward.

At the same time.

A mouthful of blood turned into a mist and sprayed directly over Xu Qing.

Yet Xu Qing paid it no attention at all.

He raised a hand and caught the Battle Spear he had thrown up earlier,

Holding it like a javelin.

He raised his arm!

Leaned back!

Then hurled it forward with savage force!

"Pfft!"

The Battle Spear streaked like a meteor.

It tore through the air in an instant.

With a bang.

It viciously nailed itself into the wall behind the man.

"Urgh."

The gaunt middle-aged man clutched his chest with an unwilling look on his face and slowly collapsed.

The entire amusement park returned to silence.

The insects began chirping again.

Making the night seem especially tranquil.

In the distant woods.

Zhao Xinfeng, who had witnessed everything, turned and ran without hesitation.

At this moment, there was only fear in his heart.

"Run! Run!"

All he felt now was relief.

Even an expert like Liu Zun had been killed. If he stayed there, he would surely die.

"Damn it, I finally had a chance to rise, only for someone to crush it."

"As long as I'm alive, there'll be another chance. Survive first."

"—Huff—"

The night wind blew past.

The amusement park had already become a complete wreck.

Xu Qing's body trembled as he slowly crouched down, gasping for breath.

"Huff—hiss—huff—hiss—"

His body was covered in blood and grime. Sweat mixed with blood, making him look exceptionally ferocious.

This battle.

Was the most dangerous, yet also the most exhilarating battle he had experienced so far.

It was the first time he had encountered a martial artist of the same rank with strength comparable to his own.

It had greatly increased his combat experience!

At the same time, this real battle had thoroughly verified Xu Qing's idea.

That was to combine his spear techniques with the force-generation method of the Night Owl Secret Technique.

Thereby creating a combat style that belonged solely to him.

After resting for a while, Xu Qing rose and walked toward the middle-aged man's corpse.

Only after taking everything from him, especially confirming the golden bank card, did he return to the other two.

"Mmmpfh!!!"

With her mouth gagged, Zhou Tong struggled frantically and backed away as Xu Qing approached.

But Xu Qing ignored her.

He merely took the bank cards and all valuable items.

Then he turned and left.

Watching Xu Qing leave, Zhou Tong froze for a moment before letting out a fierce sigh of relief.

Not long after Xu Qing left.

Several sets of footsteps rushed over at high speed, heading straight for Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong became nervous again.

"What happened?"

"Someone was here. Everyone from the Red Knife Society is dead!"

"Zhou Tong!"

A surprised voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

Then Liu Zhankun flashed to Zhou Tong's side and removed the cloth from her mouth.

"Uncle Liu!!!" Zhou Tong immediately burst into tears, as though she wanted to vent all her grievances and fear through crying.

The few people behind Liu Zhankun looked at each other, asking in shock, "Tongtong, what exactly happened?"

Only then did Zhou Tong gradually stop crying. "Th-there was someone who wanted these people's money. They refused to give it to him, so the two sides started fighting.

In the end, that person killed all three of them and left."

Her simple description left everyone present stunned.

Liu Zhankun was immediately shocked. "Are you sure there was only one person?"

Zhou Tong nodded with reddened eyes. "Mm-hmm."

"Hiss—" Everyone present drew in a sharp breath.

"This person... was incredibly fierce!"

"We need to go. Leave this place first."

"Right, we shouldn't stay here!"

Then Liu Zhankun carried Zhou Tong on his back, and the group quickly left the scene.

Even after returning to the company.

No one knew exactly what had happened.

Only after careful questioning did they determine that it had been a case of thieves robbing thieves.

However, the clash between the two sides had benefited them.

Seeing Zhou Tong return safely.

Zhou Yu was very happy.

However, he still took out his phone to check the location of the bank card.

He discovered that the bank card had still been left somewhere in the amusement park.

So he concluded that the other party had probably transferred all the money out of it and tossed the card there.

But he no longer had the heart to pursue the matter.

His daughter's safe return was already the greatest blessing.

Besides, since the other party had the strength to wipe out the Red Knife Society alone,

it showed that he was far stronger than these people.

Wouldn't going to trouble him be seeking death?

The Red Knife Society had been destroyed, and the crisis was resolved.

Over the following days, Celestial God Company gradually returned to normal as well.

After a day of emotional recovery, Zhou Tong finally regained her composure.

And Xu Qing, who had secretly returned at some point, brought some gifts to visit Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong seemed very happy about it, and her mood gradually calmed down.

She had no idea that the young man standing before her with an impatient look on his face was the one who had saved her life.
