“This world is more terrible than I thought.” Sitting on the cushion, Baili Qingfeng thought gravely.
A war-level expert, after breaking the limits of the body, was a slaughter machine on the battlefield. One expert could be as powerful as a regiment. As for those above the war level…
Wouldn’t any of them be as strong as an army?!
When a man was too strong, he would inevitably ignore the law; killing was like drinking water for him.
No wonder…
He was just an innocent passer-by when he was shoved by a villain and punched heavily half a year ago. If the fist had hit an ordinary person…
That person would’ve died!
He was so appalled by the brutality of Wang Gang and Jiang Ziheng that he embarked on the path of martial arts following his second grandpa.
From what he could see…
All martial fighters were the same. They killed people and their families easily.
Initially, he went home after killing Jiang Ziheng in Sumen thinking the Jiang family would be too scared to take revenge. He was too naive.
Soon, an assassin had been hired to kill him, and he nearly died.
Thankfully, Jiang Hengshan hired the assassin to kill him without eliminating his family or Baili Hong and Baili Die would’ve died because of his negligence.
He would’ve felt guilty for the rest of his life.
“I’m indeed too young. Jiang Ziheng, Wang Gang, Jiang Hengshan, Eddy, Eit… All the martial fighters I’ve met are lawless and insane… Their world is too horrible and entirely against the peaceful life I want. When I kill Wang Gang and my unease disappears, I will withdraw from this world and never deal with them again.” Baili Qingfeng soon decided.
However…
Wang Gang seemed to be from a sect?
The Iron Sword Sect?
A moment later, he remembered something and suddenly stopped.
“Wait, the Iron Sword Sect!”
The next moment…
His face paled.
It became completely pale!
“I’ve ignored a very important factor!”
Hong Lie!
“Miluo City is the capital of the Daluo State! And Hong Lie is from the Iron Sword Sect in the Daluo State?!”
He remembered now.
Wang Gang, an elder of the Iron Sword Sect, great expert of the Roaring Tiger Punching, famous martial arts master, chairman of the Martial Arts Society of Miluo Society, and a level-three martial fighter…
“Both Hong Lie and Wang Gang are from the Iron Sword Sect?!”
Thinking about that, Baili Qingfeng looked awful.
“Every sect is united. After I defeated Hong Lie, it is possible that more people will come at me, and since Wang Gang and I have a history, he certainly won’t let it go if he knows that I defeated Hong Lie…”
Baili Qingfeng did not expect to face an unprecedented crisis when he was considering retirement a moment ago.
That was a martial fighter!
A small Jiang family already had a brutal Jiang Hengshan who hired an assassin to kill him. Wu Li even tried to kill the entire Wang family after his training succeeded. Then, how coldblooded would Wang Gang be when he came with an even greater force?
If he was only against Baili Qingfeng, he wouldn’t be scared thanks to his recovery abilities, but those martial fighters would not even let go of his family.
He had watched a lot of TV shows where the heroes were stronger than the villains but could do nothing when the villains held their families and friends hostage.
Although heroes definitely killed the villains in the end…
It was not the same in reality.
Those stories were only shot because they were extraordinary and hard to believe. More people had been killed by the villains without a sound.
Also, considering their viciousness, they certainly wouldn’t let go of the heroes’ families after they died. Then…
Everybody in the family would die!
“Everybody in my family will die!” Baili Qingfeng’s face was cold.
This threat was ten times more dangerous than the Jiang family last time. It was truly a life-destroying danger!
The more dangerous it was, the calmer he had to be.
Baili Qingfeng stood up with no hesitation and spoke to Ran Tianchi in the training ground. “Come here. I need to ask you something.”
Puzzled, Ran Tianchi came to Baili Qingfeng’s training room. “What’s your command, master?”
“Let me ask you, do you know where Hong Lie is?”
“Hong Lie?” Ran Tianchi was stunned. “My father told me he’s treating his wounds in the Green Water Manor.”
“Got it.” Baili Qingfeng tried to be calm. “Resume your training.”
“Yes.” Ran Tianchi did not know exactly what was going on, but he still backed off.
“Just as I suspected!” Baili Qingfeng’s heart was heavy after Ran Tianchi left.
His speculation was probably true.
Hong Lie, or rather, the Iron Sword Sect, would not let go easily!
Hong Lie could’ve sought better treatment outside Shire. He stayed in Shire only because he was up to something else.
“He must be waiting for reinforcements in Shire. No. I’m just a helpless student. How can I resist his reinforcements? I have to take action first. I hope there’s still time!” Baili Qingfeng rose.
However, before he left, he looked at the sword in his hand.
This time, he would probably face not just Hong Lie or Wang Gang but the entire Iron Sword Sect!
“My fist techniques are actually based on sword arts. Today, I’m afraid I have to challenge a dominating sect like the Iron Sword Sect. If I’m unarmed, it will be too perilous.”
Thinking so, he put the sword into the sheath.
This sword was offered by Murphys when he defeated Hong Lie a while back. It was forged with valuable alloys.
At least…
It was much better than the sword he took from his second grandpa’s place.
Sheathing the sword, Baili Qingfeng realized that it was nine o’clock. He left the club gravely.
To save money, he considered taking the bus, but the Green Water Manor was in the suburbs and did not have a direct bus route. He had to walk for 1.5 kilometers.
1.5 kilometers was not very long, but the problem was that…
Buses had stopped plying since it was already nine.
So, Baili Qingfeng could only take a taxi. After haggling with the driver, he set off to Green Water Manor.
Half an hour later, Baili Qingfeng stopped outside Green Water Manor.
Although it was called a manor, it was actually a small resort hotel made of two buildings and six special villas around a pond.
Usually, people would fish and chat here, or view the landscape on the hill not far away, enjoying the pleasure of the outdoors.
Wall?
There was no such thing.
Taking advantage of the night, Baili Qingfeng soon sneaked into the Green Water Manor professionally.
One of the two buildings was the cafeteria and a meeting room, and the other was the living room. Each of the four floors had a dozen rooms.
There weren’t many guests in the hotel. Baili Qingfeng stopped by each occupied room and listened, trying to gather some useful information.
However…
Half an hour passed.
“By logic, when I eavesdrop, the people inside should talk about important secrets so I can learn detailed information of the enemy and crush them easily, but why am I hearing nothing but moans?”
At a loss for words, Baili Qingfeng went to the front desk.
The receptionist was a woman in her thirties. She was too busy watching a movie to even greet Baili Qingfeng.
So, Baili Qingfeng could only ask, “I’m looking for someone named Hong Lie.”
“We do not offer the guests’ information. You can search on your own…”
“Watching a movie during work? What’s your number for complaint?” Baili Qingfeng slapped the desk and said with dissatisfaction.
The receptionist glanced at Baili Qingfeng but did not mock him after seeing that he was a handsome boy. She minimized the video unwillingly and searched for a while. Soon, she pointed out. “The fourth building in the villa area.”
