Chapter 20

"Did Huo Siyan invite me to a private meeting late at night?!"

Qin Feng was taken aback. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, including a bit of wickedness. After all, it was late at night, and a man and a woman alone together—how could there not be a bit of wickedness...!

But fortunately, Qin Feng, who had been deceived once in his previous life, did not make the same mistake in front of a woman this time.

Moreover, due to his successful cultivation of the first level of *Tai A Duanzhi* (Great Sword Forging), Qin Feng had a clearer mind than ordinary people. After careful analysis, he felt that there was something suspicious about this matter.

These past few days, he and Huo Siyan had always communicated through letters.

From their exchanges, Qin Feng could vaguely see that Huo Siyan was not a simple girl like Yu Yan. Instead, she was quite cunning. Qin Feng did not dislike cunning women; the key was to see where her cunning was applied. If used for the right purposes, she could be a great help to him in the future.

But one thing Qin Feng was certain of: Huo Siyan had always been very reserved. Although they had been corresponding, she had never crossed any boundaries.

But this time, Huo Siyan broke the routine and invited him out late at night, which was quite unusual.

"Unusual events are often ominous! It seems someone has a plan." A deep killing intent flashed in Qin Feng's eyes.

"Since that's the case..."

Thinking to this point, a mischievous smile appeared on Qin Feng's face. He turned around and asked Qin Yuyan, "Yan'er, do you remember the game we used to play in the woods when we were young?"

"Game?" Qin Yuyan tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then her eyes lit up. "I remember, the hunting game, where the mantis catches the cicada, but the oriole is behind!"

"Hehe, smart!"

Qin Feng smiled and playfully pinched Qin Yuyan's little nose.

...

Night fell!

In the small forest on the southern outskirts,

The small forest on the southern outskirts had always been a place for secret meetings between high officials and their mistresses. But today, it was unusual. The sky was filled with dark clouds, and there was no moonlight. The forest was dark and eerie, and the night wind howled like wolves, scaring away many insects and birds.

At this moment, a figure gradually materialized from the darkness.

"What a perfect night for murder, you really know how to choose a place."

The person who arrived was Qin Feng. After surveying the surroundings, he sneered at the slender, black-clad figure standing before him.

"I didn't expect you to see through it. It seems I underestimated you!"

A very pleasant voice laughed, similar to Huo Siyan's, but when the black-clad figure turned around, Qin Feng saw a red-powdered skull head wrapped in a black cloak.

Although he had expected it, Qin Feng was still slightly startled. He frowned and asked, "Who are you? What is your purpose in inviting me here?"

"Hehe!"

The other party laughed, but such a seductive action on a red-powdered skull was truly disgusting to Qin Feng.

"Could it be for anything else? Someone wants to buy your life."

"My life? So you are assassins!"

Qin Feng sneered. He had already guessed as much.

Currently, in Luoyang Town, the only one who had a grudge against him was Ye Wuyuan from the White Tiger Family. If Qin Feng hadn't appeared, Ye Wuyuan would undoubtedly have been the winner of the martial arts competition. By interfering, Qin Feng had ruined his plans, and naturally, Ye Wuyuan hated him to the core. Unfortunately, that punch at the time didn't completely eliminate this trouble.

Now, the trouble had indeed appeared.

Ye Wuyuan was indeed ruthless, hiring assassins to kill him. This showed how much he hated Qin Feng. His injuries hadn't even healed, and he was already eager for revenge, truly hating him to the bone.

"Assassins? That term is too old. We are the Blood Hands, hehe!"

The red-powdered skull twisted its slender waist and extended a bony claw, pointing at Qin Feng and laughing strangely. The atmosphere of the dark and windy night added to the eerie feeling.

"Hmph, you alone can't kill me."

Although the other party was somewhat strange, Qin Feng knew that evil and demonic beings often liked to put on a show. They used strange atmospheres and terrifying environments to break down your mental defenses, seize your weaknesses, and achieve a decisive victory.

But with Qin Feng's composure, he wouldn't give the other party such an opportunity.

"Who said I'm alone, hehehe!"

As the red-powdered skull spoke, two eerie pink ghost flames suddenly appeared in its eye sockets. The entire figure was then enveloped in black mist, disappearing in the darkness, leaving only two red flames flickering in the night sky.

"Hehe, kill him, kill him, hehe, kill him, kill him!"

A demonic voice entered Qin Feng's ears, and the scene before him suddenly became blurry and distorted.

At the same time, a long, thin sword suddenly extended from the ground beneath Qin Feng, pointing directly at his crotch. The speed was astonishing. Additionally, behind Qin Feng, a tree suddenly split in half, and a black figure holding a sharp long sword aimed directly at Qin Feng's back, moving as fast as lightning.

"Hmph!"

Qin Feng's mind had indeed been momentarily distracted, and he knew he had been caught off guard by the enemy. But it was only for a moment, and he quickly regained his composure, much to the surprise of his opponent.

The strategy of these assassins was simple: to confuse him from the front while launching a decisive attack!

But they had underestimated Qin Feng!

Their prior investigation had not revealed that Qin Feng had cultivated *Tai A Duanzhi*. The demonic methods to confuse the mind were like child's play to Qin Feng's powerful spirit.

Thus, Qin Feng quickly regained his clarity.

It seemed slow, but Qin Feng's body instantly moved to the left, dodging the attacks of the two people. His right foot stomped the ground hard. His hands were also busy; his right hand burst into flames, immediately grabbing the long sword from behind. Following the sword's trajectory, he extended it upward, and the other person immediately burst into flames, burning to ashes in an instant, along with the sword.

There was no choice; the two attackers had launched their assault simultaneously, and their strength was not much different from his. Therefore, Qin Feng used his decisive technique to quickly eliminate one of them and intimidate the enemy.

Qin Feng's goal was achieved!

The other person, after being hit by Qin Feng's powerful kick, which shook the ground, quickly fled from underground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Seeing his companion eliminated by Qin Feng's swift and powerful attack, his eyes were filled with terror.

Qin Feng ignored the other person's gaze, moved forward, and a large fist appeared before the other person. The other person quickly used a mystical weapon to block, but with a loud boom, the mystical weapon did not break, but the person was thrown back by the immense force.

"Hmph, not dead?"

Seeing that his attack had been blocked, Qin Feng stomped his foot, and his body shot out like a cannon. Before the other person could react, he roared, "Dragon Power Fist, Ten Dragons Nine Elephants!"

"Boom!"

A punch hit the other person's abdomen, followed by another punch to the abdomen, then another to the chest, and finally a kick to the head, sending the person flying and crashing into a tree trunk, spitting out a large mouthful of blood before fainting.

"Damn, his body is quite tough. It seems he has cultivated some earth-element techniques."

From the feedback on his fists, although the punches hit solidly, they only caused severe injuries. Qin Feng's Azure Dragon bloodline was known for its strength, and the fact that the other person could survive such an attack indicated that he had cultivated earth-element techniques known for their defense.

Although the battle was complex, it was decided in an instant.

When Qin Feng looked up at the last enemy, the black mist around the red-powdered skull gradually dissipated, the pink ghost flames on the skull extinguished, and the entire skeleton collapsed with a "clatter."

"Huh?"

Qin Feng was taken aback, but after a brief mental probe, he understood.

He then stood still, patiently waiting.
