Kill Ao Ziyi

Upon hearing this, Fragrant Consort hurriedly lowered her head, her face showing fear.

"This humble woman would not dare. If you desire anything, young master, I am willing to give it to you."

She was the star attraction of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, and indeed, she sold her art, not her body.

However, Ao Xiong was the Office Chief of the Soul-Calming Office, and she couldn't afford to offend him. Even the owner of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion couldn't protect her, so she had no choice but to bow her head.

"Hmph, that's more like it! You and I, grandfather and grandson, together, will make sure you experience the ultimate pleasure tonight!" Ao Xiong's expression softened, and Zi Guang brazenly sized up Fragrant Consort's body.

The latter lowered his head, clenched his teeth, feeling utterly humiliated but powerless to resist, and could only silently curse him as shameless.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Ao Xiong frowned. He was in the middle of an exciting moment and hated being disturbed.

"Lord Ao, it's me, Black Hawk!" A man's voice came from outside the door.

"Get out, all of you!" Ao Xiong waved his hand, driving all the women out of the room, and then a middle-aged man with scars on his face walked in.

"What is it?" Ao Xiong asked.

"Something terrible has happened! All four of them are dead!" Black Hawk whispered. He was Ao Xiong's most loyal subordinate, responsible for relaying intelligence between Ao Xiong and the Yinyuan Sect.

"Who did it? Was it Lin Qing? Or is there someone else behind him?" Ao Xiong frowned.

"It's Lin Qing!"

"Impossible! That was four True Astral Force experts joining forces. Even if they couldn't defeat them, they should have been able to escape. How could they all perish?" Ao Ziyi exclaimed in disbelief.

"I saw it with my own eyes, there's no doubt about it. Lin Qing has entered the True Gang Realm, his combat power has increased dramatically. Ordinary True Gang Realm Martial Artist can't even last three moves against him." Black Hawk's tone was extremely certain.

"Grandpa, if it's true, Lin Qing's growth rate is terrifying. He might even become stronger than Wang Ling in the future." A look of fear flashed in Ao Ziyi's eyes.

"That Lin Qing is something else. I won't be at peace until he's gone." Ao Xiong tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his brows furrowed.

"My lord, Lin Qing has already left that mansion, and his whereabouts are currently unknown. This Assassination failed, and we have alerted him. If we try to send someone to kill him again, the success rate will be very low. I suggest we stop immediately and look for a better opportunity later," Black Hawk added.

"Go down, I will make my own decision!" Ao Xiong said coldly, his voice tinged with annoyance.

"Yes, sir." Black Hawk bowed and withdrew.

"Grandpa, at this rate of growth, it won't be long before Lin Qing has combat strength comparable to yours. The longer it drags on, the harder he'll be to kill!" Ao Ziyi said through gritted teeth.

Ao Xiong suddenly slammed his palm down, shattering the long table in front of him into pieces.

"Well done, Lin Qing. This operation has failed, resulting in the loss of four skilled men. I wonder when I'll be able to receive the blessing. I underestimated his abilities."

"Grandpa, what do we do now?" Ao Ziyi asked.

"Wait for the right opportunity! Remember, to achieve great things, you must have enough patience!" Ao Xiong suddenly calmed down, but his eyes remained cold.

"Grandpa is right. Your composure is exactly what I lack most," Ao Ziyi said with emotion.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

"Who?" Ao Xiong asked again.

"Lord Ao, it's me. I have something else to report!" Black Hawk's voice came from outside.

"Go open the door!" Ao Xiong said coldly.

Black Hawk had just left and had Ao Ziyi lock the door from the inside. Now Ao Ziyi got up to open the door.

The moment the door opened, a figure suddenly appeared behind Black Hawk and punched him in the chest.

Boom!

Before Ao Ziyi could even scream, he was blasted away, crashing through the window behind him and falling into the street.

This punch came from Lin Qing. The moment his right fist struck out, the fingers that were gripping Black Hawk's throat also exerted force, crushing his throat bone. Then, he joined two fingers together and fiercely struck Black Hawk's chest. A tremendous force burst forth, directly shattering Black Hawk's heart.

Black Hawk let out a muffled groan, his body slumped to the ground, lifeless.

"Grandson!"

Ao Xiong was shocked and leaped out of the shattered window.

Lin Qing suddenly heard two muffled thuds. The first thud came from Ao Ziyi, who had fallen to the ground, and the second thud came from Ao Xiong.

He went to the window and, through the misty rain, saw Ao Xiong holding Ao Ziyi on the street below. The latter's chest was caved in, his sternum was broken, and blood was constantly gushing from his mouth.

"Avenge! Avenge them!"

Ao Ziyi's eyes widened in disbelief, and he kept muttering those two words, his eyes filled with endless hatred.

Lin Qing's punch was very heavy, intended to smash Ao Ziyi's body to pieces. However, he did not expect that Ao Ziyi was also wearing an Azure Inner Armor, which absorbed a considerable portion of the force. Therefore, although his body did not shatter, his internal organs were damaged, and even a god could not save him.

Sure enough, Ao Ziyi only lasted for less than three breaths before his head suddenly tilted to the side, and he died.

No! My dear grandson!

"If you dare kill my grandson, I will tear you to pieces!" Ao Xiong suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on Lin Qing in the Pavilion.

At this moment, Lin Qing was wearing a white fox-face mask and a very common blue long robe, making it impossible to discern his identity from his appearance.

Many names flashed through Ao Xiong's mind. He had many enemies in his life, and he couldn't tell who was responsible just by looking at them.

Lin Qing didn't say a word, but suddenly jumped down from the Pavilion. The moment he landed, he used his Lightness Skill to escape at high speed along the long street into the distance.

The entire building has now been alerted, and there are also patrol teams from the Soul-Calming Office nearby.

With his current strength, a patrol team poses no threat to him whatsoever.

However, he did not want to confront these Constable directly, nor did he want to fight in this bustling area, because if the two of them started fighting, it would easily affect the nearby people and harm innocent people.

He could sense Ao Xiong's anger at that moment, so he felt that if he chose to run away, Ao Xiong would definitely catch up from behind.

And that was indeed the case; Ao Xiong charged right after him, relentlessly pursuing him from behind.

The two ran wildly through the rain, one after the other, disappearing into the distance in an instant.

After a while, the patrol officers on Constable nearby rushed over and were shocked to see Ao Ziyi's body on the ground.

"This is bad! Send someone for help immediately; this is beyond our capabilities."

"Yes!"

At this time.

Lin Qing and his companion had already rushed out of the bustling street, chasing and fleeing, and arrived at a deserted neighborhood.

There are large courtyards here, but they are now uninhabited because a plague once struck this area, killing many people. Although the plague has subsided, no one dares to live here anymore.

Lin Qing deliberately led Ao Xiong to this place, and then slowed down his pace.

Ao Xiong seized the opportunity, leaped up, stomped heavily on the wall beside the road, and rolled over, landing in front of Lin Qing.

"No matter who you are, you killed my grandson, and you shall die today!"

Ao Xiong turned around, his gaze fixed on Lin Qing, his tone icy.

"Lord Ao, as the saying goes, there are gods watching from above. You have committed numerous evils, resulting in grave sins. I am acting on behalf of Heaven to punish you. Why don't you kneel down?" Lin Qing sneered.

"You bastard, prepare to die!"

Ao Xiong's figure flashed, and he was already close by. He raised his hand and struck out with a palm, with crimson flames rising from his palm.
