The night wind is fierce.
At this moment, the sunset glow in the sky completely fell, and the surroundings gradually fell into darkness.
Chen Feiyang's heart also dropped sharply as the temperature around him dropped.
His face was pale and he stared at the young man in brocade clothes at the entrance of the alley ahead.
Does Prince Lin need a reason to kill someone?
yes!
No need at all!
Rumor has it that this Prince of Lin was a complete playboy in Linzhou, murdering entire families and raping other people's wives and daughters...
In his eyes, the lives of ordinary people are like grass!
Even in Chen Feiyang's eyes, those people were just ants. If he wanted to kill them, he didn't need any reason at all.
Over the years, as the guardian of the Secret Heaven Division, how many civilians had he killed? And how many innocent people had he murdered?
Countless.
For him, killing does not require a reason.
However, when the people who were killed turned out to be him, Chen Feiyang found it hard to accept!
"I am the guardian of the Secret Heaven Division, the emperor's personal guard!!"
Chen Feiyang spoke in a low voice, his tone filled with fear and warnings: "Your Highness, you don't need a reason to kill people, but... I am His Majesty's man!"
"If the Crown Prince kills me, he will be an enemy of the Emperor... Your Highness, are you planning a rebellion?!"
"rebellion?"
Lin Jiangnian quietly watched Chen Feiyang, whose face was pale and struggling like a trapped beast, in the alley, and chuckled: "This prince has never intended to rebel!"
"This prince's only target is you, Guardian Chen!"
Chen Feiyang felt a chill in his heart.
Is this Prince Lin really coming for him?
But……
Chen Feiyang racked his brains but couldn't understand why the Prince of Lin would attack him since he had no grudge against him.
"Why?!"
Chen Feiyang gritted his teeth and questioned, "Your Highness and I have never had any grudges against each other... Why would Prince Lin do this?!"
"Didn't I already tell you? This prince doesn't need a reason to kill anyone...including you!"
Lin Jiangnian's answer was still calm, so calm that it made Chen Feiyang's heart completely cold.
His face was gloomy and ugly: "You, do you really want to fight to the death with me?!"
"I am the guardian of the Secret Heaven Division. If you attack me... His Majesty will not forgive you!!"
Facing Chen Feiyang's desperate threat, Lin Jiangnian still chuckled: "If you die, how will His Majesty know?"
Chen Feiyang's last hope was gone!
At this point, he knew in his heart that Prince Lin really wanted to kill him today!
There is only one way left for him now.
Just hold on a little longer and the reinforcements from Mi Tiansi will arrive!
Thinking of this, Chen Feiyang turned around without hesitation. He had to leave here quickly!
But the next second, the figure he had just repelled had silently landed on the wall behind him, blocking his way.
This was a young man who was probably less than thirty years old. He was dressed in a black robe, had a reserved aura, and looked at him expressionlessly.
With just one glance, Chen Feiyang felt the other party's strong aura.
Good martial arts skills!
"Lin Kong!"
Chen Feiyang recognized this person's identity. He was also one of the masters around Prince Lin. His martial arts skills were not weak, not much worse than Lin Qingqing's.
After the brief fight just now, Chen Feiyang had a plan in mind.
He was not afraid of this man's martial arts, but if he was entangled by the other party, he would surely die.
Thinking of this, Chen Feiyang became increasingly anxious. With his retreat blocked, the only remaining path was...
Chen Feiyang suddenly looked up and looked at Lin Jiangnian who was standing quietly at the entrance of the alley in front of him.
Just him?!
Was this Prince Lin too conceited or too proud to appear there alone, without any guards by his side?!
A gleam of light flashed in Chen Feiyang's eyes, and a ferocious and fierce light flashed across his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, Chen Feiyang might have doubted for a moment, but the situation was dire and with nowhere to retreat, he had no time to think.
The only way to survive now was to capture this 'conceited' Prince Lin as a hostage, and intimidate the other princes' personal troops to not dare approach or act rashly. As long as he waited for the reinforcements from the Mi Tiansi to arrive, he would be saved!
Thinking of this, Chen Feiyang had almost no hesitation. He slightly bent his body, tensed his muscles all over his body, took a sudden step forward, and stepped heavily on the ground in front of him.
“Crack!”
The bluestone slabs made a crisp cracking sound when they were stepped on. Chen Feiyang used the force of his feet and suddenly rushed towards Lin Jiangnian like a cannonball.
The speed was so fast that it left a trail of afterimage in the air.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Lin Kong, who was originally blocking Chen Feiyang from behind, suddenly realized the danger and raised his head suddenly, wanting to intercept.
But it's too late!
Chen Feiyang, caught off guard, was in front of Lin Jiangnian in the blink of an eye. He had almost completely absorbed all his energy, his aura was extremely powerful, and his speed was so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.
A ferocious and complacent look appeared on his face!
Want to kill him?
This Prince Lin is not worthy!
…
Entrance of the alley.
A tight net has been laid today, and Chen Feiyang has no way to retreat.
The only chance left for him to survive is... Lin Jiangnian!
Lin Jiangnian was standing at the entrance of the alley, without any guards around him. It was an empty alley. He was Chen Feiyang's only best chance!
As expected, he took action.
The target is naturally Lin Jiangnian.
Facing the sudden attack from Chen Feiyang, Lin Jiangnian remained extremely calm, without any fear or panic on his face, and even a little... excited!
This is a great opportunity!
Since arriving in Beijing, Lin Jiangnian has never neglected his martial arts training. He diligently studies and practices daily, cultivating his internal energy and practicing swordsmanship whenever he has free time. By now, his martial arts skills have officially reached the level of a master. However, his experience in fighting opponents is not extensive.
There is no other reason.
The enemies that could appear beside Lin Jiangnian were either too weak and easily dealt with by his guards, or too powerful, making it impossible to resist.
Lin Jiangnian has very little experience in taking action.
And today is a good opportunity to test it!
Chen Feiyang's martial arts skills were not weak, but they were not top-notch either. His martial arts skills were around the fifth rank, barely making him a master.
It's just right for Lin Jiangnian to practice.
Taking this opportunity, I can test and examine his true strength now!
Therefore, facing Chen Feiyang's surprise attack, Lin Jiangnian was not at all panicked. Instead, he was excited and eager to try.
As if sensing danger, the Xuanyang Heart Method in Lin Jiangnian's body automatically started to work, and a steady stream of internal energy flowed into his limbs.
The scorching air rushed in, and at this moment, Lin Jiangnian's eyes were clear and his mind was calm. He narrowed his eyes slightly, facing Chen Feiyang's attack, he did not dodge or evade, and slowly stepped back with his right foot, assuming a defensive posture.
A fiery aura instantly emerged and spread from the palm of his hand beneath his robe.
Just as Chen Feiyang approached, Lin Jiangnian suddenly raised his hand and slapped out!
In an instant, the aura lingering around his body gathered in his palm, and then poured out in the next second.
“Boom!”
The roaring sound, carrying with it a majestic momentum, spread across the world.
Chen Feiyang, who had just approached, suddenly sensed danger the next second.
"boom!"
Chen Feiyang faced Lin Jiangnian with a solid palm strike. The moment the palms collided, an explosive airflow burst out.
The bluestone slabs beneath their feet began to shatter. The walls of the alley beside them, seemingly unable to withstand the intense force, began to crack.
The huge internal force surged and knocked the two men back in an instant.
Lin Jiangnian retreated repeatedly, flying backwards seven or eight meters before he managed to stabilize his body.
His heels landed on the ground, sinking slightly into the mud of the alley.
Lin Jiangnian looked a little embarrassed, his brocade clothes were slightly torn by the strong wind, his face was flushed, and his breathing was slightly rapid.
The collision of these palms made his breathing unstable. He felt that his internal organs were churning and his blood was surging.
It's so uncomfortable!
But Lin Jiangnian's eyes became brighter and brighter with excitement. He finally met an opponent of equal strength!
On the other side, Chen Feiyang also flew backwards for more than ten meters before he managed to steady his pace.
His clothes were tattered, his hair was disheveled, his face was red and blood was boiling, his expression was extremely ugly, his eyes were wide open, and he stared at the front in disbelief.
I was shocked!
"You, you actually..."
Chen Feiyang's voice trembled slightly, as if he couldn't believe it.
This Prince Lin is actually a hidden master?!
This was something he had never expected!
Although the intelligence from Linjiang City mentioned that the Prince of Lin had shown signs of practicing martial arts, Chen Feiyang never took it seriously. He knew only too well the hardships of practicing martial arts.
How could the Prince of Lin, who had lived a life of luxury since childhood, possibly endure such hardship?
Even if he could eat...it had only been a short time, and the Prince Lin's martial arts had become so powerful?
The head-on collision just now was a complete test of internal strength!
Chen Feiyang had practiced martial arts for many years, and it had taken him a lot of effort to achieve his current achievements. But when they touched hands just now, he could clearly feel that the Lin Wang prince's internal strength was strong and not inferior to his own.
even……
I'm afraid it's even better than him.
How is this possible?
How long has he been practicing martial arts?
But how could one have such strong internal strength in just over half a year?
...What kind of monster is he?!
At this moment, Chen Feiyang was filled with fear and trepidation. He had to inform his father-in-law of this news as soon as possible!
Feeling the surging energy in his body, Chen Feiyang's face turned ugly, and a fishy and sweet taste emerged in his throat.
He had already consumed a lot of energy during his escape. Now, after exchanging blows with Prince Lin, he felt aches and fatigue all over his body.
If you continue to pester me, I'm afraid you'll end up here today!
Thinking of this, Chen Feiyang turned around and jumped up without any hesitation, wanting to escape from here again.
But just as he jumped up and before he could get over the wall, Lin Kong blocked his way again.
Chen Feiyang's pupils shrank, and he turned around and tried to escape to the other side. But at the same time, a figure in green clothes appeared in his sight again.
It was Lin Qingqing who came!
It’s over!
At this moment, Chen Feiyang looked ashen.
A dragnet!
Can't run away!
"You can't leave!"
Lin Jiangnian's voice came from behind.
Lin Jiangnian, whose breath had recovered a little, walked slowly forward and looked at him quietly: "Now I'll give you a chance to survive... Go all out and defeat this prince, and I'll spare your life. How about it?!"
Chen Feiyang gritted his teeth, a look of surprise and doubt. With Lin Qingqing and Lin Kong around, there was no way he could easily escape.
As for the words of Prince Lin...if I defeat him, will he spare my life?
Chen Feiyang naturally didn't believe it.
But this is his only chance to survive right now.
As long as we delay a little longer until the reinforcements from Mi Tiansi arrive, we can survive.
Thinking of this, Chen Feiyang gritted his teeth and stared at him intently: "I didn't expect that Prince Lin was so talented. I underestimated you!"
"Does His Royal Highness's words count?"
Lin Jiangnian said calmly, "Of course it counts."
"Then I won't be polite!"
As Chen Feiyang spoke, he slowly drew the long sword from his waist and stared at the figure in front of him with cold and focused eyes.
Regardless of whether he can win or not, he must delay time.
When Chen Feiyang realized that the Prince of Lin was a good martial artist and his internal strength was even better than his, he had to concentrate.
"Qingqing."
Seeing Chen Feiyang draw his sword, Lin Jiangnian turned his head and called out softly.
On the wall not far away, Lin Qingqing threw the sword wrapped behind her back to Lin Jiangnian.
Lin Jiangnian took the sword, lowered his head and stroked it gently, then removed the sword cloth, revealing a three-foot light sword.
A green gem is inlaid at the end of the hilt, and the scabbard is carved with complex and exquisite patterns.
Autumn Water Sword!
This sword, given by Senior Li from Ruyi Tower and always with Lin Jiangnian, was finally put to use for the first time in Lin Jiangnian's hands.
The long sword was unsheathed, and the cold light was rampant.
When the sword tip was exposed in the air, a murderous aura instantly spread, and the temperature around it dropped sharply.
Chen Feiyang stared at the sword, his heart skipped a beat, and his eyes became focused.
He could tell at a glance that the sword in Prince Lin's hand was no ordinary item. The chilling and murderous aura of the unsheathed sword showed that this sword had a great origin.
This sword will definitely be more powerful in the hands of an expert.
Thinking of this, Chen Feiyang immediately took a deep breath, clenched the long sword in his hands with both hands, and took a step forward.
He raised his knife and suddenly launched an attack.
The early bird catches the worm!
The long sword flashed a sharp light in the dim alley, as if splitting the night.
This knife is cruel and fierce!
Lin Qingqing, who was on the wall next to her, bent her body slightly, her eyes focused, ready to attack at any time.
Lin Jiangnian held the Autumn Water Sword in his hand and faced the sudden attack of Chen Feiyang's sword without any fear.
The sword techniques he had learned in the past six months suddenly emerged in his mind!
The sword moves he had rehearsed countless times in his mind, the sword techniques he had practiced countless times in his daily life, now seemed to come alive. They transformed into little figures, their thoughts moving at the will of his heart.
At this moment, Lin Jiangnian's aura suddenly changed, his eyes sharp and cold. He took a step forward, thrusting the Autumn Water Sword in his hand forward, and instantly transformed into countless sword flowers in the air.
Densely packed, the sword energy enveloped the entire world.
Chen Feiyang was approaching with a knife in hand. The moment he noticed Lin Jiangnian drawing his sword, a fierce pressure came over him.
Lin Jiangnian stood in place, his body surrounded by dense sword energy, real and fake!
Chen Feiyang was shocked and angry, and his heart was horrified, but he forced himself to suppress his fear.
"Break it for me!"
Chen Feiyang roared in his heart, gripped the long sword tightly and chopped it down fiercely!
He wants to use his long sword to break this sword flower!
"stare!"
A crisp sound was heard, sparks flying as the long knife and the hard sword collided.
When the long sword fell, Chen Feiyang felt as if it had hit an immovable boulder. The violent impact made his arms holding the sword numb.
He was horrified!
The martial arts prowess of this Prince Lin was far beyond his expectations.
But he didn't have time to hesitate. His knife was blocked. Chen Feiyang suddenly took another step forward and held the knife close again.
“Break it for me!!”
“…”
