During this period, Teng Qingshan also taught his grandfather the Internal Martial Arts breathing technique and some fist techniques with excellent health-preserving effects.

Regarding the impending RR Virus, the only thing Teng Qingshan worried about was his grandfather in this life.

Now that the old man had mastered the breathing technique and some body-strengthening fist techniques, coupled with his improved mood recently, the chances of him surviving were quite high.

After finishing the meal.

The time had reached eight o'clock in the evening. This was also the time for the old man's square dancing.

Only now, it had turned into practicing fist techniques and the breathing technique.

Watching his grandfather's body improve day by day, and his spirit and energy becoming better and better, Teng Qingshan was happy from the bottom of his heart.

After cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, Teng Qingshan went downstairs. After guiding his grandfather in practicing his fists for a while, he walked along the bustling street.

"After these few days of adaptation, my physical fitness is steadily improving, and my Internal Martial Arts Grandmaster realm has almost recovered. Next, I need to focus some of my energy on body force, footwork, and spear techniques."

Without realizing it, Teng Qingshan walked along a path away from the crowd.

Suddenly.

A scene appeared in Teng Qingshan's mind:

A young man in black was holding a mysterious map.

There were also two foreigners dressed in special clothing, one of whom was carrying a special small firearm, sneaking in front of a homestay.

Soon, the image transmitted from the Little Cauldron dissipated.

"I didn't expect to see assassins here. Since I'm free anyway, I'll go see what level the assassins of this world are at."

In his first life, Teng Qingshan was one of the strongest assassins in the world. Although he had spent five hundred years in the Nine Cauldrons world, the assassin instinct that had penetrated his bone marrow would not fade with time.

Meeting "peers" again, especially in a place like China where firearms and killing were strictly prohibited, Teng Qingshan was very interested in them.

Moreover, the mysterious map image specifically transmitted from the Little Cauldron also made Teng Qingshan very curious.

Swish!

Teng Qingshan exerted force under his feet, and his whole body was like a gust of wind, sprinting toward the scene that appeared in the image, a homestay named "Anran".

Teng Qingshan had passed by this homestay every day recently; it was the only way to Nanshan Park. Although it was far from the city center and looked unremarkable, Teng Qingshan's memory was astonishing, and he recognized it immediately.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

In the dark night, Teng Qingshan moved like a ghost, sprinting at high speed.

Before long, he had run several kilometers, approaching the Anran Homestay.

Outside the homestay.

A tall white man wearing a special night-vision suit looked at his companion beside him and whispered, "Monkey, the target of our mission is confirmed to be in this homestay ahead. Should we act now, or wait a little longer?"

"Big Bear, let's wait a bit longer. According to the intelligence collected, although this Lu Hong is young, his strength is very strong. He is also a top assassin with a high international ranking, especially with his extremely profound attainments in Internal Martial Arts. It is suspected that he has reached the Grandmaster realm in Xingyi Fist. Neither of us is his match alone."

The Chinese man nicknamed Monkey squinted his eyes at the homestay shrouded in the dark night and spoke fluent English to the white man beside him.

"Inside the homestay, the environment is narrow, and my firearm advantage cannot be brought into play. Only outside, with our cooperation, is it possible to keep him here. Besides, he comes out for a walk every night after nine o'clock. It won't be too late to act after he comes out."

"This Lu Hong's strength is indeed very strong. The organization's intelligence capability is still excellent. Then let this Lu Hong live for another half an hour." The tall white man nicknamed Big Bear, who was two meters tall, had cruelty and bloodlust flickering in his eyes.

This combination was a famous assassin duo in the entire underground world.

The white man "Big Bear" was born with great strength and had practiced Ancient Yoga. Not only was he powerful, but he also possessed a certain degree of flexibility. In his early years, he dominated the underground boxing ring; everyone who sparred with him was either beaten to death or crippled. Later, he was spotted and recruited by an assassin organization, becoming a top assassin wandering internationally.

The Chinese man "Monkey" was also a top assassin. Born to a family of Internal Martial Arts practitioners overseas, he practiced "Taiji Fist". Although his realm was not very high, it was close to the Grandmaster realm. He was only 1.7 meters tall and had a lean build, which was the origin of his nickname, Monkey.

However, although his physical strength was not outstanding, his nerve response was particularly fast. In addition, he was very good at long-range sniping and was particularly proficient in firearms. Combined with Big Bear's close combat, this assassin combination was very threatening. Many people stronger than them had fallen into their hands.

At this time, the two were ambushed in the lush weeds beside the path. With the concealment of the night, an ordinary person really wouldn't be able to tell that two people were crouching there.

Inside the homestay room.

At this time, Lu Hong, dressed in black, was typing on a laptop.

A moment later.

Lu Hong closed the computer, his eyes as bright as stars seeming to speak, "I didn't expect the assassins of the Heavenly Kingdom Organization to have chased me here. They are worthy of being the assassin organization with the best intelligence system in the underground world. Since I just broke through to the Grandmaster realm, I'll use the two of them to test my skills."

Relying on the "Dark Hand" organization, Lu Hong also had his own sources of intelligence. This time, he successfully killed several experts sent by underground organizations in Southeast Asia and obtained the mysterious Ruins map. He had intended to rest in Yangzhou City midway before returning to the organization, but he did not expect these assassins to be like bone-attached maggots, following him like a shadow.

Having successfully broken through to the Xingyi Fist Grandmaster realm in that great battle, Lu Hong was at his most confident regarding his own strength.

Xingyi Fist Grandmaster.

It represented the ability to control the power of the whole body almost perfectly. Coupled with the fact that Xingyi Fist was extremely good at close-quarters combat, even if that Big Bear was born with great strength and could punch with a terrifying force of six hundred kilograms.

But Lu Hong didn't care at all. In his view, Big Bear's speed was very slow. Even if his strength was strong, he had to be able to hit him. And he could easily toy with the opponent by relying on his speed and footwork.

Moreover, although Lu Hong was of the yellow race and his natural physical strength would be smaller, he could condense his whole body's strength. With his extremely high martial arts realm, coupled with his exceptionally rich killing experience and exceptionally keen combat sense, if it were one-on-one, he had more than ten ways to torture and kill Big Bear!

"The only thing that is a bit tricky is that Monkey. But in China, he can at most get a small-caliber pistol; it is unlikely he can get a high-power sniper rifle. However, there is nothing absolute. I will solve him first when I make a move later."

The two assassins outside thought Lu Hong was completely unaware. In fact, through the intelligence system behind him, Lu Hong had long known that the other party had arrived.

Without realizing it.

The momentum of the offense and defense had shifted.

A few minutes later.

A figure streaked through the dark night.

Once the figure solidified and came to a stop several hundred meters east of the guesthouse, it was revealed to be Teng Qingshan, who had just arrived.

With the aid of the faint moonlight, Teng Qingshan easily spotted the two assassins hidden within the dense weeds, observing the specialized firearm at the waist of the thin figure and the unusually tall white man.

Teng Qingshan touched the Flying Dagger inside his pocket.

During this period, Teng Qingshan had not slacked off on his Flying Dagger practice either.
