Ren Pingsheng was constantly flickering under the siege of more than a dozen warriors. To outsiders, it looked like a lone boat in a stormy sea, at any moment on the verge of capsizing.
"This mission cannot be abandoned; I must find an opportunity to kill Huang Qiu, or there will be no chance left."
It seemed that the overwhelming attacks did not affect him much. He was still thinking about this mission. He knew that if he wanted to escape, it would be easy. However, after that, there would be no chance to attempt an assassination again. If he found a random place to hide for a few months, Ren Pingsheng's mission would fail. So this was his last opportunity.
"What are you all doing? Hurry up and beat him half to death!" Seeing that Ren Pingsheng was unharmed amidst the attacks, Huang Qiu shouted furiously from a distance.
"Those two High-Level Warriors are a hindrance to killing him; it seems I can only lure them away." Glancing at the furious Huang Qiu and the two people standing beside him, he began to formulate a plan in his mind.
Once again dodging an attack, Ren Pingsheng jumped to the edge of the area. Then, as his figure blurred, twelve shadows spread across the field, and twelve sword energies flashed by in an instant, striking at the warriors surrounding him. The already chaotic scene turned into complete disarray.
The highest among the dozen warriors was only an Intermediate Warrior. With Ren Pingsheng's speed of drawing his sword, many did not even have time to react before being hit by the sword energy and retreating heavily injured. Some unfortunate beginner warriors were directly pierced through by the sword energy and died on the spot.
Ren Pingsheng's attack naturally did not stop there; Gale Thirteen Swords was still his final strike. He raised his hand, and as the twelve shadows disappeared, a sword energy about ten feet long slashed through. Any warrior it encountered suffered; they were either disemboweled or split in half.
Blood flowed freely in the courtyard, creating a gruesome scene. In an instant, only four of the dozen warriors remained, all of them injured and looking at Ren Pingsheng with faces full of terror, as if they were staring at a monster. They kept retreating, fearing they would become the next target of attack.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Ren Pingsheng vanished from their sight. Before they could brace themselves, four cold stars flashed by, and the four fell down clutching their throats with expressions of unwillingness.
The change in the scene happened too quickly; the remaining three had just reacted when the battle was already over like a whirlwind.
"You... you..." Huang Qiu pointed at Ren Pingsheng in horror, unable to utter a word for a long time. He was only a Mid-Level Warrior, originally confident and wanting to join in for fun. However, this harsh reality finally made him understand fear.
"Heh heh, it seems your people's strength is lacking; you won't be able to keep me here today." Ren Pingsheng grinned and said calmly while looking at the three.
"Hiss... Brother Chu, are you sure he is really a Beginner Warrior? This strength—this strength is not inferior to that of a High-Level Warrior, right?" The Huang Family Head asked in disbelief.
"You are not messing with me, are you? This is different from what you said. With this kind of strength, even if we fought, I might not win," he shouted in pain. He suddenly remembered that the more than ten low-level and mid-level warriors who died were all his men. This significantly weakened the strength of the Huang family.
"Ah! Huang Family Head, please don't be angry. The information I received was correct; he is indeed a low-level warrior, but as you know, some geniuses cannot be judged by their cultivation level. I didn't expect it to turn out like this," the Middle-Aged Man in Black said somewhat sheepishly. He was also worried; offending such a genius was definitely not a wise move.
"Besides, Huang Family Head, you know that even without me, the conflict between him and your Huang family cannot be reconciled. Unless you are willing to sacrifice Young Master Huang."
"You..." The Huang Family Head gritted his teeth. He knew that offending such a genius would be a disaster for the family. However, glancing at the now timid Huang Qiu, he felt helpless and disappointed. Perhaps he should not have spoiled him from the beginning; otherwise, they wouldn't have attracted such a huge trouble.
"The only way for the Huang Family Head now is for us to join forces. You know that if he escapes, it won't be good for either of us," the Middle-Aged Man in Black thought about the mission they came here for and knew he couldn't back down.
"Alright, but you can see that our Huang family has suffered significant losses this time. You must take care of eliminating the other two families. Our Huang family cannot afford any more losses."
"Okay, these are minor issues. Let's act quickly!" After a few words, the two joined forces and aggressively attacked Ren Pingsheng.
"Ah, two high-level warriors; you really think highly of me," Ren Pingsheng called out with a smile. He then sidestepped and retreated two steps to avoid their attacks. With a flick of his hand, two sword energies slashed toward them. While these sword energies might not injure them, they could disrupt their combined attack momentum.
Sure enough, the two slowed their assault. Ren Pingsheng's true energy surged through his sword as a faint golden sword energy slashed toward the Middle-Aged Man in Black. Then he used his sword to block a punch from the Huang Family Head.
The two retreated after their strike; after all, high-level warriors had their advantages. Ren Pingsheng staggered back three steps before stabilizing himself while the Huang Family Head only took one step back before stepping forward alongside the Middle-Aged Man in Black to launch a pincer attack. They aimed for a quick resolution.
"Kill!" Ren Pingsheng shouted lightly, showing no signs of retreating. Each sword strike was filled with sword energy as he engaged both opponents in fierce combat. The Middle-Aged Man in Black was also skilled; his cultivation was slightly stronger than that of the Huang Family Head. Each strike posed considerable trouble for Ren Pingsheng.
"Ding ding ding..." The swords clashed rapidly in the night sky, creating sparks that flickered everywhere. Ren Pingsheng surrounded the Middle-Aged Man in Black with relentless attacks, creating overlapping illusions around him. Although it couldn't confuse the Huang Family Head, it could buy him some time to locate Ren Pingsheng's true form, even if just a little bit.
"Slash!" The long sword in the Middle-Aged Man in Black's hand swept through the air, sending dozens of sword energies aimed at engulfing Ren Pingsheng's figure. In that instant, however, Ren Pingsheng smiled; his figure suddenly vanished and reappeared beside the man in black as a faint golden sword energy slashed out.
"Damn it!" He didn't expect Ren Pingsheng's speed to be so fast. Unable to defend in time, he instinctively sidestepped but still got caught by the sword energy and staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.
Ren Pingsheng, however, did not care at all. He shifted his body several feet to avoid the punch from Huang Family Head, then with a single swing of his sword, he unleashed twelve shadowy figures that instantly slashed out twelve Sword Lights, enveloping both of them.
"Bang bang..." The continuous sounds of impact echoed as both of them launched their attacks, dispersing a significant amount of light. Before they could catch their breath, Ren Pingsheng's thirteenth sword strike came crashing down. They had just witnessed the power of this sword and dared not be careless, quickly employing their own powerful martial techniques.
"Boom..." The three martial techniques collided, shaking the entire courtyard. Dust filled the air, and the light turned dim and gray.
"Huang Family Head, put in more effort; this kid has consumed quite a bit and is probably on the verge of collapse," the Middle-Aged Man in Black said with keen eyes, immediately noticing Ren Pingsheng's pale face and calling out with delight. They had been fighting for a minute now, and combined with previous exertions, this was a significant drain for a beginner martial artist.
"Haha, good. We must not let this kid escape this time," Huang Family Head replied happily. After such a long time, they had been unable to deal with Ren Pingsheng. It wasn't just about strength; even in Movement Technique, they were at a disadvantage.
This was hard for him to accept. If such an enemy were to escape, what kind of power would he have in a few years? Just thinking about it was frightening and kept him awake at night. Therefore, killing Ren Pingsheng was the best outcome.
"Kill!" As the two rushed forward and saw the panic flashing in Ren Pingsheng's eyes, their resolve strengthened; this kid was about to give in.
"Hurry, hurry! Increase the attack; this kid's speed has slowed down. I told you, no matter how strong he is, he is just a Beginner Warrior," the Middle-Aged Man in Black shouted joyfully. His Longsword danced up and down as Sword Light flickered. Each attack surged with True Qi.
Ren Pingsheng struggled to fend off their attacks; now he was mostly relying on Movement Technique to evade rather than engaging fiercely like he did at the beginning.
"Ah..." Caught off guard, Ren Pingsheng was struck by a sword. His body paused for a moment before he broke through their encirclement in a flash and leaped onto the roof.
"Not good; he's trying to escape." The Middle-Aged Man in Black immediately followed suit, leaping onto the roof while swinging his Longsword repeatedly to unleash waves of sword energy in an attempt to hinder Ren Pingsheng. Even creating a little trouble would allow him to catch up.
Huang Family Head was not slow either; as soon as the Middle-Aged Man in Black called out, he reached the rooftop as well. He approached from the side, intending to block Ren Pingsheng ahead.
"Haha! Let's see where you think you're running!" The sword energy unleashed by the Middle-Aged Man in Black proved effective, momentarily hindering Ren Pingsheng and stopping him in his tracks. He laughed joyfully as he joined Huang Family Head to corner Ren Pingsheng.
On top of the roof, the three stood facing each other; two wore smiles while Ren Pingsheng frowned, his eyes darting around as if searching for an opportunity to escape.
"You can't escape, so don't even think about it."
"Not necessarily!" Ren Pingsheng suddenly swayed and appeared beside the Huang Family Head, attempting to break through from there. From the previous battle, the Huang Family Head's strength was relatively weaker.
"You naive kid, take my punch!" the Huang Family Head shouted angrily. A gust of wind surged as he unleashed a series of spiraling punches towards Ren Pingsheng.
Ren Pingsheng seemed startled by this momentum and did not evade at all, getting hit squarely in the side of his chest. The surging True Qi generated such power that Ren Pingsheng immediately fell down into the courtyard below.
"Poof..." Ren Pingsheng spat out a mouthful of blood and could not stop himself from flying out.
"Haha... now that this kid is seriously injured, he probably doesn't even have the strength to escape," the Middle-Aged Man in Black laughed heartily, feeling that his mission here was accomplished.
"Of course, my punches are not to be taken lightly! At this moment... ah, not good..." The Huang Family Head, who had been feeling triumphant, looked up just in time to see Ren Pingsheng flying backward. A strange smile flashed across his face, but then he felt a sudden panic. Just as he shouted, Ren Pingsheng's figure in mid-air vanished.
"Qiu'er, be careful!" The Huang Family Head's heart skipped a beat as he realized that everything before was just a trap designed to draw them away. His true intention was still to assassinate Huang Qiu. At this moment, he could no longer afford to feel pleased and rushed toward the edge of the courtyard where Huang Qiu was.
Huang Qiu was feeling delighted when he heard his father's warning shout. Before he could think of a reason, Ren Pingsheng had already appeared behind him, and a Sword Light pierced directly through his heart from behind.
"Ah..." Huang Qiu let out a miserable scream as he looked at the longsword protruding from his chest, fearfully struggling; he did not want to die. Unfortunately, reality was cruel, and he felt his life slipping away faster and faster.
"I don't want to die... I don't want to die..." He weakly struggled a couple of times before losing consciousness.
The eldest son of the Huang Family, feared and hated by everyone in Huangfeng City, thus met his end.
