Chapter 18 They want to wipe out the whole family!
With a whoosh, the large ring-bladed sword sliced through the rain and came crashing down.
A strong wind blew against his face, threatening to cleave him in two.
He Song threw down his crossbow, but instead of drawing his weapon, he raised his bare hands to block.
clang!
When the blade struck He Song's forearm, it sparked a few tiny sparks.
Zhao An noticed a metallic sheen beneath the other person's black clothes.
The arms were covered with thick metal arm guards, and the hands were also covered with protective gear.
When you slap your palm on the blade, it produces the same metallic clanging sound.
Zhao An was knocked back two steps by the opponent's palm strike.
"Palm technique?" This was the first time he had ever seen a martial artist use fist and foot techniques.
Under the influence of internal energy, the palm could withstand sharp weapons such as swords, knives, axes, and halberds without injury, which was truly extraordinary.
That's right, the other party, like Zhao An, is a martial artist who has cultivated internal energy.
Zhao An noticed this as soon as they met in the first round, and he also realized that his opponent's internal energy level was not weak!
Otherwise, the opponent wouldn't have been able to withstand his attack.
After landing firmly, Zhao An exerted his strength again, taking a quick step to close the distance and unleashing the Fierce Tiger Saber Technique.
Undeterred, He Song pressed forward, his palms flying as he unleashed a set of high-level martial arts skills.
The two were fighting in the rain when Li Gou'er and Zhao Chunzi heard the noise and were terrified.
They didn't know where this man in black came from, but anyone with eyes could see that he was currently engaged in a deadly battle with Zhao An!
Zhao Chunzi panicked immediately, grabbed a broom leaning against the wall, and charged at the man in black with a howl.
As a result, He Song kicked him back, and he clutched his stomach, unable to cry out in pain.
"You idiot, he's fighting Brother Zhao to a standstill, why did you go up there!" Li Gou'er said helplessly as he helped Zhao Chunzi up.
He was also anxious; if something happened to Brother Zhao, how could they possibly fare well?
However, he was not Zhao Chunzi and knew that rushing over like that would be completely futile and would not help Zhao An.
Suddenly, he saw the crossbow lying on the ground and the bolt stuck in the doorpost.
"This thing can kill!"
Li Gou'er rushed over, grabbed the crossbow bolt, and before he could even figure out how to use it, a cry of pain came from the courtyard under the rain.
Looking again, the man in black was staggering and looked flustered.
On the other hand, Zhao An, after several rounds of fighting, became more and more courageous, and his blade was unstoppable!
Taking advantage of the opponent's wide-open defense, Zhao An used his tiger-like steps and dragon-like movements with his knife, nearly disemboweling his opponent.
The blood seeped out and was quickly washed away by the heavy rain onto the ground.
He Song felt a burning pain in his chest and abdomen, and didn't have time to check his wounds because Zhao An's blade was already in front of him again.
He could sense that Zhao An's internal energy level was similar to his own, but Zhao An's swordsmanship was truly too superb. After a few rounds, he felt that he was not able to defeat him.
"Damn it!"
He was furious that Xu Donglai had tricked him, and after being injured, he also began to consider quitting.
After all, it was only thirty taels of silver; it wasn't worth risking his life.
He pulled a small cloth bag from his pocket and threw it at the persistent Zhao An. A large amount of lime spread out, blocking Zhao An's blade.
For someone to commit murder like this, it must be said that his preparations were indeed thorough.
They used both crossbow bolts and lime.
Seeing this, Zhao An had no intention of giving up.
He channeled his internal energy, and hundreds of strands of internal energy gathered in his palm.
He twirled the knife in his hand, then flicked it sharply, sending a burst of silver light through the lime rain.
Just as He Song turned to flee, the silver light pierced his back.
He Song's face was ashen. He looked down at the knife tip protruding from his chest, the blood mixed with rainwater, which was very glaring.
Soon, he was exhausted and collapsed to the ground.
The Fierce Tiger Saber Technique includes a throwing knife technique, but it can only be learned, mastered, and thoroughly understood by reaching the third level of saber skill.
This throwing knife is also one of the killing moves!
Zhao An approached, looked at the other person's appearance, and then glanced at the large red name above the other person's head, but no memories related to this person surfaced in his mind.
He was certain that he did not recognize him.
"Brother Zhao, who is he?!" Li Gou'er ran over with a crossbow in his arms and aimed the bolt he had just loaded at the black-clad man on the ground who was barely breathing.
Zhao An shook his head and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you want to kill me?"
He Song remained silent, his gaze already somewhat unfocused.
Knowing that he could not escape death today, there was no point in saying anything more.
"You son of a bitch, I'm asking you a question! Who gave you permission to kill my brother?" Li Gou'er angrily kicked the man in black twice and shouted.
He Song glanced at Li Gou'er. In the past, he could have easily killed this kind of person with a slap, but now, he could only close his eyes and wait for death.
Zhao An had already guessed something, and now, his mind raced, and he suddenly spoke.
"He Song, you really are obedient. Xu Donglai wants you dead, so you obediently deliver yourself to my door so I can kill you."
"Aren't you angry?"
Upon hearing this, He Song's eyes, which had been closed, suddenly widened, and even his previously unfocused gaze became more alert as he stared intently at Zhao An, who had moved closer.
Even though he was too weak to speak, this reaction gave Zhao An a firm conviction.
"So it really was sent by the leader of the Python Gang..."
"Old man, do you...want to die?" Zhao An grinned, his face showing a hint of ferocity.
He Song finally breathed his last, his eyes wide open, dying with his life unfulfilled.
The last expression on his face was one of shock and confusion.
This guy seemed to be just trying to get information out of him at the end, but why did he know his name so clearly?
[Those who have committed numerous evils will be accepted as sinful souls!]
He Song's soul was taken away by Zhao An and thrown into the soul pool.
It's like being thrown into a frying pan; even after death, the soul will suffer endless torment until everything is washed away, becoming yet another soul slave of Zhao An.
This will be the first martial arts master soul slave that Zhao An has obtained!
"Brother Zhao, it really was the leader of the Python Gang who ordered it!" Li Gou'er said through gritted teeth.
"It's pretty much a done deal." Zhao An looked up at the sky.
The rain poured down, growing heavier and heavier, as if it would flood the entire city.
Zhao An did not return to the house. Instead, he calmly picked up the straw hat that He Song had dropped and put it on his head.
"Dispose of this body."
After saying that, Zhao An picked up his knife and walked out of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Li Gou'er knew exactly what Zhao An was going to do. His heart tightened, and he quickly chased after him.
"Brother Zhao, please don't act rashly. You are all alone, while Xu Donglai has many men. It would be too dangerous to go there so easily!"
He was genuinely afraid that Zhao An would be blinded by anger and do something unwise.
However, when he met Zhao An's gaze, he found that the other's eyes were cold and showed no signs of anger; on the contrary, he was quite rational.
Zhao An knew very well what he had to do.
He just wanted to wipe out the whole family!
