A rain fell quietly in Qingyuan City.

The rain was very cold and pattering, but since it was rain and not snow, it was a sign that the winter in the Yunqin Empire was about to pass.

The numb and itchy feeling in Lin Xi's body, like countless ants crawling, has faded a lot in the past few days, but his itchy feeling itself comes from the hidden disease in his body. In Biluoling, his bones and the flesh and blood in his body

I don’t know how much it was broken. Although he was rescued by Qingluan Academy’s no-cost elixir and Tang Yuren, who was probably the strongest doctor in the world, after half a year of living in a near-vegetative state, the flesh, blood and bones in his body finally grew.

Well, it can withstand some of his strenuous activities, but the reconnected flesh and bones where the original flesh and bones were broken are new. At this time, it is like the new flesh and bones in his body,

Fusion with his body, the new bones turned into "old bones". Therefore, in this rainy day of climate change, the numb and itchy feeling in his body was clearer and more uncomfortable than the previous few days.

However, this itchy feeling, besides making Lin Xi feel dry, actually made him a little inexplicably excited, and even a little eager to fight with others.

After all, he is a practitioner, and a powerful practitioner who has surpassed the rank of national scholar.

If you want to kill Wenren Cangyue and his powerful subordinates, you can only make yourself better at fighting and become stronger during the battle.

Although he had fought against Su Zhongwen before, it was only for one or two breaths. It was just a test of Su Zhongwen's combat power, and it was not considered a real attack at all.

This kind of fight, which was not a hearty fight, was like a fire starter, igniting the uncontrollable desire in his heart to fight with others.

He is now waiting for an opponent who can give him a hearty shot, the "painter" who will come for Chen Feirong.

He was certain that this "painter" would definitely come tonight.

Because he and Chen Feirong moved to the "Living Garden", a secluded courtyard purchased by Dasheng Gao in Qingyuan City, and Chen Feirong said that she liked tranquility, so there were only a few servants left in the garden.

Man, this place is far away from some garrison stations, so this is the best time to take action.

Although this "painter" was forced by his spiritual practice and life to change his career to the secret murder business, Lin Xi knew that after not doing what he liked for many years, once he started doing it, whether he was forced to do it or he wanted to do it,

, the wildfire in my heart must be burning very fiercely. It is extremely difficult to bear to wait for another day or two when there is an excellent opportunity to take action.

The patter of cold rain beat on the eaves and banana trees in the courtyard, making a quiet sound.

Lin Xi closed her eyes, as if sleeping, quietly sensing.

In the deep alley in the distance, there seemed to be a faint sound of dog barking.

Suddenly, Lin Xi opened his eyes. His figure moved like an arrow from a powerful bow, reaching the door. However, his hand fell on the door and he pushed the door open silently. In the next breath,

, has fallen into the black brick corridor outside the door.

Across a full-moon-like doorway, under a rain corridor on the opposite side, stood a visitor wearing brown clothes. His face had no facial features, but the color was very mottled, but he was wearing a mask that was daubed casually with oil paint.

mask.

"Friend, who are you? At this time, it is not a good thing to come uninvited."

Lin Xi naturally knew who was coming here, but he clasped his hands slightly, like a humble disciple, looking at the other person calmly and asked.

The other party did not move immediately. He looked straight at Lin Xi and made a voice with slight admiration, "I never thought that in such a small place... there would be an expert like you who could sense my arrival."

"What's going on?" Chen Feirong's voice sounded in a side room in the courtyard where Lin Xi was, sounding like she was getting dressed.

"Friend, no matter who you are, this is a private house. We don't want to cause trouble. If you leave, we will not pursue you any further." Lin Xi said in a deep voice.

"There is such beauty as jade, but I can't see it with my own eyes. How could I go all the way on such a cold and rainy night in vain?"

The painter in brown clothes and colorful face smiled slightly when he heard Chen Feirong's voice. As soon as his laughter started, he tapped his toes on the ground and flew straight towards Lin Xi.

Between him and Lin Xi, there was a rainy Mingtang and two banana trees with lush foliage. However, the majestic aura emanating from his body and the strong wind he brought caused all the raindrops that came close to him to be blown away, causing

The leaves of the banana tree automatically flew to both sides and shattered.

In one breath, he passed through a courtyard, passed through the Yuanyue Gate, and approached Lin Xi.

Facing the painter's fierce attack, Lin Xi gave a soft drink and finally exhaled the restlessness and longing that had been accumulated in his body for a long time. At the same time, he did not retreat but advanced, and two powerful soul powers surged out from under his feet.

, causing his whole body to face the painter in a diagonally flying forward posture.

In an instant, Lin Xi had flown in front of the brown-clothed painter. The cotton shirt on her right arm snapped. Every muscle in her arm burst out with amazing strength. She pulled out the long robe she was carrying on her back amid the lightning and flint.

Sword, one sword thrust towards the painter's throat.

This sword is like the spring thunder that arrives in advance, indescribably fast and sharp.

However, facing such a sword, a disdainful smile flashed in the painter's eyes. His right hand seemed to be slightly retracted, but a sword light appeared under his wrist.

A light brown short knife struck Lin Xi's sword-holding wrist with a backhand thrust.

The speed of the sword's light was far superior to Lin Xi's lightning-like sword light, just like Lin Xi's wrist came up to chop him.

But at this moment, the air in front of Lin Xi seemed to shake violently. Lin Xi's body was suddenly violently in the air. His sword was instantly out of proportion and cut into nothing!

Lin Xi looked up at this moment.

His madness, all the suppressed negative emotions, and the powerful killing intent seemed to spurt out from his eyes at this moment, turning into a sword intent that soared into the sky.

The cotton-padded coat on his right shoulder cracked, and the instant burst of soul power made his entire right arm seem to suddenly lengthen, and he was thrown forward violently. He was already at a loss due to the pause in his body.

Instead, the force of his sword became even more swift and fierce, slashing towards the painter's eyebrows with all his strength.

This is Lin Xi's truly heartfelt sword strike, the most decisive one!

The painter's eyes flashed with an incredible look of shock.

He was not shocked by Lin Xi's level of cultivation and ability to control soul power, but he was shocked by the speed of Lin Xi's soul power.

With exquisite use of soul power, as long as there are many battles, it is possible to do what Lin Xi did, but in such a short period of time, it is simply impossible to use the soul power in the body so quickly.

Even with his cultivation beyond the first level, it is simply impossible to do it.

This is completely against the common sense of the practitioner's soul power and body.

In extreme shock, the painter quickly stretched out his left hand.

These were two extremely well-maintained, white jade-like fingers. They seemed to be trying to clamp Lin Xi's long sword, but just when he stretched out his two fingers, a majestic wave came out.

The breath has already surged out from between his two fingers.

A huge force, like burning, ignited from his fingertips.

"boom!"

The space between him and Lin Xi shook violently again, and the power gushing out of his body instantly formed the shape of a red flame bird, impacting on the long sword in Lin Xi's hand.

In this short period of time, which was only a fraction of a breath, blood flew from Lin Xi's hands, and the long sword flew out of his hand.

Huge power overflowed, and the impact caused his body to completely stop in the air. The strips of his cotton robe were torn apart, and he was about to fly backwards.

Zhang Lingyun's previous estimate of the "Painter"'s strength was correct. The Painter was indeed a practitioner who was close to the peak of a Grand Master and had successfully fused his soul.

The reason why there are so many levels of division among practitioners is because there is a huge difference in strength between each level.

The physical strength, soul power, and soul power of practitioners at the Great National Master level are still much stronger than those at the National Scholar level. Just the sharp explosion of soul power in the body, transformed into a powerful force, is enough to shake the National Scholar level practitioner.

Fly out.

Moreover, this is only a practitioner of the Great Nation Master level. If a Saint Master level practitioner unleashes his soul power with all his strength, ordinary practitioners will not be able to get close at all. If they meet him, they will be blasted into a bloody mass of dregs.

In the face of overwhelming power, all techniques are futile.

In the concept of the world of practitioners, it is absolutely impossible for a practitioner at the initial level of a national master to cross the level and challenge a practitioner who is close to the peak of the great national master level.

After all, Qingyuan City is just a small city. In the entire Qingyuan City, there may have been no practitioners of the Great Nation Master level before. That's why Zhang Lingyun was absolutely sure, and that's why the painter dared to do such a thing.

…

The knife in the painter's hand continued to move forward, stabbing Lin Xi's lower abdomen.

Although Lin Xi's blow was completely destroyed with absolute power, the strength shown by the other party made the painter a little nervous. Moreover, according to the information given to him before, the big shopkeeper of Da Dexiang in the house was also a practitioner.

, if he is also such a strong man, if the two of them join forces, they will pose a threat to him, so he must deal with the person in front of him immediately.

In the perception of the two practitioners, the world at this moment was relatively slow. Lin Xizheng started to fly backwards, but his left hand still pressed hard against the painter's right wrist holding the knife, trying to block this movement.

One knife.

The painter did not change the force of the knife.

Because he originally thought that Lin Xi's soul power was very strange, this knife was only intended to severely injure Lin Xi, and did not want to directly kill Lin Xi. In his opinion, even if his wrist and Lin Xi's hand intersected, his power would be enough to kill Lin Xi.

Lin Xi was seriously injured.

However, at this moment, the battle situation, which was originally extremely clear-cut due to the absolute difference in power, underwent extremely subtle and strange changes.

The painter felt that the soul power in Lin Xi's body was erupting again at an astonishing speed.

A rapid burst of soul power spurted out from Lin Xi's hand, and before he could even react, it turned into a bolt of golden lightning and struck his hand.

The painter's eyes widened in disbelief. The strong burning and numbness even caused his soul power to pause at this moment. However, the shock and numbness that left his mind blank had not stopped yet. He saw Lin Xi's

The handle had already flown out of my hand, and the light cyan flying sword that was flying backwards flashed with dazzling silver light and stopped violently in the air, reflecting back like a jumping silver lightning!
