Chapter 13

Jiang Anping encountered such a strong opponent for the first time. He couldn't fight back and decisively fled.

But a giant eagle descended from the sky, blocking his path and flapping its wings to knock him back.

Xu Hao launched a frenzied attack on Jiang Anping.

"This sword technique was brought back by my father when he studied abroad. What qualifications do you, a rogue, have to learn it!"

Each strike of the sword hit Jiang Anping's protective shield, which grew increasingly dim.

"Without the protective shield, you're just trash!"

While attacking, Xu Hao belittled his opponent to elevate himself.

"Without your father, you're just trash."

Even though he had almost no means to fight back, Jiang Anping still resisted. He would never give up until the very end.

Hearing the other's mockery, Xu Hao's fragile heart was greatly stimulated.

"You're asking for death!"

He always wanted to prove his excellence without relying on his father, but he could never escape his father's care.

For someone who prided himself on being excellent, this was a disgrace.

To have it said out loud was even more humiliating.

"Bang!"

Xu Hao attacked with all his might, striking the protective shield. With a crack, the shield shattered.

"Ha ha~ Die! Your fortune is mine!"

Xu Hao's expression was fierce as he delivered the final blow.

"Die together!"

Jiang Anping's expression turned疯狂, and he suddenly changed the direction of his sword, abandoning the attack in front of him and slashing to the left.

The Illusory Blade technique didn't make the sword illusory; it was a visual deception. When the illusion was formed, the blade would bypass the opponent's attack from a blind spot.

If one knew the trajectory of the Illusory Blade and had the speed, they could block it.

However, Jiang Anping didn't intend to block. He bypassed the opponent's attack and attacked from the left, aiming for a one-for-one exchange!

"Thud~"

Blood splattered.

Jiang Anping's chest was hit, the wound deep to the bone.

But Xu Hao was unharmed.

A golden light erupted from Xu Hao, knocking his sword away.

A drop of sweat rolled down Xu Hao's forehead.

It was just a little bit.

Just a little bit, if not for the life-saving talisman, he would have died!

Xu Hao was extremely frightened and then his expression turned fierce. He almost got killed by someone younger than him, and he couldn't tolerate such humiliation.

"Wasting my precious life-saving talisman, do you think you're the only one with a trump card? Let's see what else you have!"

Xu Hao angrily swung his sword, preparing to finish off his opponent. He really disliked this talented kid who was more gifted than him.

Xu Hao's sword aimed for Jiang Anping's neck.

This strike would surely decapitate him!

At the same time, Jiang Anping kicked at his opponent.

Seeing Jiang Anping's action, Xu Hao sneered. This fool, he couldn't even hurt me with a sword, and a cultivator who hasn't learned any spells thinks he can hurt me with a kick?

Xu Hao's sword and Jiang Anping's kick landed simultaneously.

"Thud!"

Xu Hao was kicked away, kneeling on the ground in pain, clutching his vital area, his body trembling violently.

Jiang Anping's attack was a desperate one, not caring if it was despicable. When you're about to die, who cares about despicability?

"No... impossible."

Xu Hao was almost fainting from the pain.

He struggled to lift his head, seeing the green light around Jiang Anping, feeling extremely shocked and surprised.

The other's protective talisman was clearly out of energy.

Why was there still protection?

Suddenly, he noticed Jiang Anping's waist.

There were actually two protective talismans hanging there!!

What kind of fortune did this kid get to have so many treasures?

Even his father, with such a high status, only gave him one protective talisman!

But the other had two such durable protective talismans!

Two?

No, ten.

Facing the pursuit, Jiang Anping felt very insecure and spent a day copying ten protective talismans.

Jiang Anping realized that these hidden things were called trump cards.

The reason he let the other strike him earlier was to make the other careless, giving him a chance to counter-kill.

Otherwise, even with dozens of protective talismans, the other could still break through.

If this kick didn't result in a counter-kill, he would really run away.

Jiang Anping didn't hesitate. Taking advantage of the other's inability to get up, he picked up the sword on the ground and rushed over.

"Beast! Come and protect me!" Xu Hao roared at the giant eagle, his head full of veins from the pain.

The giant eagle was about to move, but its eyes flickered, and it suddenly spread its wings and flew away.

It had always been oppressed and dared not run away, but today was the opportunity.

Xu Hao's expression froze.

He didn't expect this to happen.

Seeing Jiang Anping rushing over, Xu Hao's expression twisted, and he shouted, "My father is the general of Ping Shui County! If you kill me, my father will surely..."

"Thud~"

Before Xu Hao could finish, his head fell to the ground.

Jiang Anping didn't hesitate and acted immediately.

He really didn't understand why someone so old could be so childish.

Was there any possibility of reconciliation? Absolutely not.

Since that was the case, it was better to let the general feel the pain of losing a loved one.

After dealing with Xu Hao, Jiang Anping's face immediately showed a look of pain.

Looking down at his chest, blood was flowing out continuously, and he could even see the white bone.

He hadn't felt much during the battle, but now, the pain was unbearable.

He quickly took out the golden wound medicine and poured it on his chest.

He didn't know how the medicine was made, but when it was applied to the wound, the bleeding stopped quickly.

The pursuers were about to arrive. Before escaping, Jiang Anping skillfully squatted down and searched Xu Hao's body.

This person had a high status and should have many treasures.

Suddenly, a green light erupted from Jiang Anping's body.

The protective shield was automatically defending!

Who was attacking him!

Jiang Anping turned around sharply and saw a middle-aged man with a goatee.

The middle-aged man held a small black flag covered in mysterious runes.

He infused it with spiritual energy and threw it at Jiang Anping, shouting a single word.

"Break~"

At that moment, Jiang Anping's protective talisman suddenly opened a gap, and the array flag struck his head heavily.

Jiang Anping's face changed drastically. The protective talisman was useless!

He felt a sharp pain in his consciousness, and everything went black.

After an unknown amount of time, a bucket of cold water splashed on him, waking him up.

Jiang Anping opened his eyes groggily.

The surroundings were very dark, emitting a strong stench.

He was in a cave, or more accurately, a dungeon.

His body was tied to a strange iron stake with chains, surrounded by various torture instruments, and there were several corpses nearby.

These corpses had twisted expressions, as if they had experienced great pain before death, and most of them had only one eye, the other eye having been gouged out.

Lifting his head, he saw the goatee man in front of him.

Jiang Anping tried to activate his spiritual energy but found he couldn't sense any spiritual energy in his body.

"Don't waste your effort. You've taken the Spirit-Dispelling Pill, so there's no spiritual energy in your body. The array flag nearby also absorbs spiritual energy, so you can't recover."

The goatee man spoke calmly, playing with two green protective talismans in his hand.

Jiang Anping's heart sank. Spirit-Dispelling Pill? He had never heard of it, but it must be some kind of pill.

Array flag?

Jiang Anping looked down and saw a small black flag with flashing runes on the ground nearby, absorbing spiritual energy.

If the other could break through the protective talisman and attack him, the other must also be a cultivator.

"Who are you?"

"Slap~"

The goatee man slapped Jiang Anping's face, and his tender skin immediately split open, blood flowing out.

"Do you have the right to ask me?"

Jiang Anping's body trembled in pain.

The goatee man said coldly, "Where did you get your cultivation method and resources?"

"From someone else."

Jiang Anping endured the pain and recounted the day he met the cultivator.

"Oh, so you should thank us. Without the people from Great King Mountain raiding your village, you wouldn't have attracted the attention of cultivators and obtained these resources."

The goatee cultivator stroked his beard, his eyes emotionless as he stared at the other.

Jiang Anping's fists clenched tightly.

So the other was from Great King Mountain!

This person was also a murderer!

"Slap~"

Another slap landed on Jiang Anping's face.

"Do you have the right to be angry?" Yuan Bin's voice was especially cold.
