He had just been caught in a sudden ambush.
[Bao Xiang Mituo] Xiao Shan had focused all his attention on Shen Liancheng, who had suddenly charged out.
For a moment, he had forgotten why he had come here in the first place.
He had directly tossed the very target he meant to pursue to the back of his mind.
Yet his retreat had happened at precisely the right moment, placing him exactly within ten feet of Lu Wu-bing.
The position was almost too perfect.
So perfect that Lu Wu-bing did not even think about it. Intent within unintentionality—only when his sword point pierced the fierce monk's Ermen Point did killing intent erupt from the sword light.
Shattering the other man's brains.
From afar, he exchanged a glance with the rapidly pursuing Shen Liancheng.
Borrowing the rebounding force from Xiao Shan's head, Lu Wu-bing stepped backward and prepared to vanish into the crowd again.
Having changed his appearance, he had killed constables and the families of officials within Mingyang City. He could be called "capable of every evil," and his reputation certainly could not be considered good.
It was not convenient for him to meet Martial Uncle Shen right now.
Pretending not to know each other and parting with each going their own way was the best choice.
That would spare the other man any difficulty.
The reason for this thought was, of course, that [Subduing Dragon Sword] Shen Liancheng had also smeared up his face and changed his attire.
What did that mean?
It meant that Martial Uncle Shen did not want anyone to confirm his identity either.
Even if someone guessed, he would have to deny it to the death.
A famous righteous sect, after all...
Enjoying that reputation naturally meant having its own misgivings.
