A Top Scholar in Everything

Li Jianglong saw Baiyu and knew that his men must have failed. However, the boy didn't run, but instead came forward willingly. That made it easy to deal with him.

Just a Tier Nine Martial Artist.

With his Tier Eight strength, he could easily crush him.

He threw a punch.

The powerful Blood Qi oscillated rapidly in the air, creating a whooshing sound, and the table flipped over, spilling a large amount of soup on the ground.

"Great Ape King Fist."

Baiyu did not retreat but advanced instead, displaying the shadow of a Demon Ape behind him, and threw a punch to counter it directly.

The Martial Intent emitted a formidable deterrent power.

Under the roar of the Demon Ape, Li Jianglong's spirit wavered momentarily.

His Blood Qi stalled for a moment, weakening his assault.

By the time he reacted.

Baiyu's fist was already in front of him, fiercely smashing into Li Jianglong's face, sending him flying over ten meters away.

"Martial Intent!"

Niu Chongtian's pudgy face trembled, and he exclaimed in shock, his eyes momentarily absent-minded.

This kid.

Unexpectedly could condense Martial Intent at Tier Nine!

Li Jianglong hadn't anticipated this, which is why he was caught off guard and suffered a major loss.

To survive an assassination attempt, he clearly had some skills.

Niu Chongtian recalled the Spiritual Technique Book used as bait, and his eyes grew cold. He couldn't let this kid leave, otherwise, he'd be in big trouble.

"Sunset Frenzy Fist!"

Niu Chongtian's massive head trembled, sending ripples through his whole body's Blood Qi, and his fist drilled out like a bit, aiming straight for Baiyu's chest.

Bang!

But halfway through, the fist felt like it hit a layer of cotton, greatly diminishing its power and preventing it from advancing a single inch further.

Qi Armor Technique!

Learned by Baiyu from Qiong Jiu's bookshelf, the Ice Armor Technique was modified with the Scholar Secret Technique "Fusion" to become a powerful new Spirit Technique — Qi Armor Technique.

He took the punch head-on.

Baiyu's Blood Qi was directly depleted by more than half.

The existence of the Qi Armor Technique consumes Blood Qi, and resisting attacks consumes even more.

Baiyu hesitated no longer, raising his hand.

A delicate butterfly flew out from his sleeve, sending out countless red light dots from its wings, creating a white mist in the air.

Soon after, the white mist formed a large hand, slapping down at Niu Chongtian.

Crack.

The ground split open inch by inch.

Niu Chongtian was directly slapped into the floor, with numerous Blood Worms rushing in, burrowing into his body.

This invasion was painless and without strange sensations.

But Niu Chongtian's Blood Qi and spirit were rapidly depleting, to the point where every second he felt his legs filled with lead, hard to move.

"Die, you scoundrel!"

With a swish of Baiyu's Living Iron Short Blade, a spray of blood ensued.

Niu Chongtian's eyes widened, staring unwillingly at the ceiling, and his breath gradually faded.

"Niu Chongtian!"

Li Jianglong yelled in a shrill voice, glaring at Baiyu with furious eyes, and his Blood Qi surged crazily, charging toward Baiyu at a rapid pace.

Baiyu's expression was serious, ready to take on this Tier Eight Martial Artist.

However, the opponent, like a lamb straying off its path, turned aside halfway, heading for the window, crashing through with a splash.

Baiyu was speechless.

A reputed mob boss, yet fleeing and leaving behind the deep-seated enmity of a friend, was quite lacking in style.

Of course.

Baiyu naturally would not let him escape.

In that moment, his whole body's Blood Qi was already refilled once more. The Blood Escape Technique that Yang Jinhua taught him was convenient but consumed a lot, just right for Baiyu.

During the activation of the Blood Escape Technique.

His speed soared explosively, transforming his figure into a streak of red Blood Light, rushing toward the villa's gate at an incredible speed.

Li Jianglong glanced back.

Baiyu, full of murderous intent, rushed at a terrifying speed, still holding the Living Iron Short Blade stained with Niu Chongtian's blood.

He recognized now, this Pioneer Nobility was no ordinary person, and his weapon was Living Iron, plus he had at least two Magical Items on him.

Every Magical Item could increase one's combat strength.

Various magical effects of the Magical Items often played a decisive role in battle.

Moreover, when facing an enemy whose abilities were unclear, these effects were even greater.

The Spirit Techniques the opponent learned were by no means common.

That Great Ape King Fist was clearly a move from the Myriad Beasts Battle Technique, and even though he was a seasoned Tier Eight Martial Artist, he only had enough merit to exchange for the first two forms.

This kid.

Definitely had powerful backing.

Otherwise, a Tier Nine Martial Artist, even as a Pioneer Nobility, couldn't have such a solid foundation.

"Stop, stop, we can negotiate, we have no real enmity, killing me will only cause you lots of trouble!" Li Jianglong shouted hurriedly as he saw Baiyu catching up.

"How to negotiate?"

Baiyu's approach did not slow down.

"I can give you money, a lot of money, and I will never mess with you in the future. You are of Imperial nobility, and with Niu Chongtian now dead, I have no reason to fight you to the death!"

Li Jianglong shouted loudly.

"Indeed, your offer is worth considering."

Baiyu's voice came through the wind, and during this dialogue, the distance covered by the Blood Escape Technique already placed him in front of Li Jianglong.

"However, I refuse."

The blade flashed down again.

Li Jianglong cursed silently, dodging to the side, glaring fiercely as he threw a punch at Baiyu.

He actually intended to exchange injury for injury at this moment.

Crack.

Baiyu's blade slashed down, slicing deeply into Li Jianglong's shoulder. His Blood Qi surged quickly to stop the blade from going further.

Meanwhile, Li Jianglong's punch landed on Baiyu's chest.

The power of a Tier Eight Martial Artist churned up the Blood Qi in his chest.

However, with the defense of the Qi Armor Technique and the recovery power of the Ice Skin Jade Bone Skill, Baiyu didn't care about the injury at all.

In the moment of exchange.

The swarm of Blood Worms already approached Li Jianglong, and the white mist enveloped them.

He felt his Blood Qi and spirit declining rapidly in that instant, far worse than the wound on his left shoulder, exploiting his combat strength from the core.

"You can't kill me..."

Before he could finish, Baiyu pulled out an R8 with his other hand, firing twice. Two big holes burst open from his chest to his back, bleeding incessantly.

Baiyu let go.

Li Jianglong's lifeless body collapsed, lifeless.

Baiyu quickly cleaned up the battlefield, erased his traces, and then entered the room to slowly loot Niu Chongtian's villa.

Time was pressing, he didn't have extra time to dawdle with Li Jianglong.

A round of searching yielded quite a bit.

Niu Chongtian had been the manager at Jianda Real Estate for years, accumulating a sizable fortune, just the cash in the safe amounted to three million.

Baiyu also discovered the third volume of Extreme Demon Bone Tempering Technique!

As expected.

These Spirit Techniques were what Niu Chongtian got to entrap others.

"But he seemed to have a nephew that day, haven't seen a trace of him."

Baiyu summoned Blood Worms to search around, but found nothing, and had to give up.

He packed the money into a burlap sack, then coughed up a large amount of clotted blood and, after handling it, left in peace.

The attack from Niu Chongtian earlier had caused him significant injury.

Although the Ice Skin Jade Bone Skill recovered quickly, the clotted blood had to be dealt with, otherwise, it would cause major problems if left in the body for long.
