Lu Gao Sheng

In fact, given Zhang San's steady personality and fear of death, his first thought was still to leave immediately.

However, Lu Gaosheng made his move too suddenly. With three masters blocking the way in front of him, there was simply no chance for Zhang San to go back to the shop to get Wang Xiaoer.

Therefore, he had no choice but to kill these three people first.

Considering the current situation, many of the concerns Zhang San had before, such as the garrison troops and Jin Wan Pavilion, had not shown up. Zhang San felt much more at ease now. His only remaining worry was the Life-Devouring Skill cultivated by the Twin Wolves.

That was the deadly martial art skill mastered by Yu Xiansi. Although Zhang San's Iron Vest is said to be the Number One Hard Qi Gong in the World, even Yu Xiansi relied on his Life-Devouring Skill to become the number one master in the world and Leader of the Black Sect twenty years ago.

Zhang San vaguely remembered that bizarre move used by Yu Xiansi to instantly turn one's eyes bloodshot and make one's palms bleed when he killed Bai Si. That move took Bai Si's life.

"I don't know if the Twin Wolves have mastered that move. I can't be careless," Zhang San thought to himself.

Although he didn't have the Black Iron Dagger with him, the sleeves on both sides were ingeniously designed to hide the 'Black Flower Poison' Zhang San used to kill Hei Shanke and Zhang San's killer move 'A Small Night Blade'.

Zhang San chose to attack first! Because whether it was using poison or the Small Night Blade, neither was suitable to be brought out directly. He had to wait for the right opportunity.

But just as Zhang San was about to make a move, from the corner of his eye, he noticed a small shadow reflected by the moonlight outside the wall corner of the painting and calligraphy store! Although it was hard to detect, it did not escape Zhang San's eyes.

Zhang San was shocked first, then scolded angrily, "Wang Xiaoer, you little bastard! Why didn't you hide?!"

Although he could probably guess Wang Xiaoer's thoughts, Zhang San still wanted to scold this idiot apprentice. Was it the time to talk about the master-disciple relationship? You idiot!

Left with no choice, Zhang San dashed towards Li Xing on the side of the street first, because he was the farthest from the painting and calligraphy store.

Moreover, relying solely on his abundant Qi power, Zhang San was fully capable of defeating the weakest of the three, Li Xing, even without any weapons.

Having witnessed Zhang San's bizarrely powerful Iron Vest Qi Gong, Li Xing knew he was no match. Instead of evading, he chose to confront head-on, as the Twin Wolves immediately followed Zhang San.

But this was exactly what Zhang San wanted.

As the three fought into a melee, Lu Gaosheng, who was on a tall building nearby with only two lightness skill masters by his side, gradually revealed a smile.

His eyes showed excitement.

He had bet right!

Heaven was on his side!

He was very pleasantly surprised that he had bet correctly, and even more surprised that this Zhang San was so powerful.

He was simply at Small Heaven Rank!

Between moves, Zhang San was able to fight evenly against three masters at the upper stage of the Earth Rank. Not only was he not at a disadvantage, but more importantly...

Lu Gaosheng murmured to himself on the high-rise building: "This Zhang San is basically just parrying. Why doesn't he attack?"

If his skills exceeded these three, wouldn't taking the initiative to kill one of them first be the best choice?

Lu Gaosheng observed the fight carefully. Although he didn't know any martial arts, he understood how to deduce people's thoughts. After a while, he murmured to himself: "Are you testing their moves?"

...

...

Inside the shop, under the window, Wang Xiaoer was secretly watching outside.

Although he knew his master was very powerful, this time was different from last time. Last time, his master took others by surprise and made ample preparations beforehand, plus he himself had no martial arts skills back then. But this time, his master was ambushed. Who knew what sinister tricks the other side had prepared?

So Wang Xiaoer secretly went back to the secret chamber, then came out and hid in the corner. He had only one thought in mind.

"Corpse Corrosion Poison, Black Flower Poison, I've coated all my needles with them. Damn it, dare to harm my master! I'll go all out and fight you if I get the chance!"

...

...

On the street, Zhang San's thoughts were actually guessed correctly by Lu Gaosheng watching from afar.

He was testing their moves.

Because Wang Xiaoer did not hide, and even foolishly tried to find a concealed spot to lay in ambush, ready to make a move.

Zhang San understood this was Wang Xiaoer trying to help him recklessly without regard for his own safety. Foolish as it was, it also made Zhang San even more unwilling to let his only disciple get into trouble.

So Zhang San gave up using poison and decided to utilize the Small Night Blade to kill at least two or even all three of them in one strike, then swiftly return to the painting and calligraphy store and take Wang Xiaoer to his side. This was the best way to maximize Wang Xiaoer's safety.

But the Small Night Blade was a double-edged sword.

Using it wrongly could result in not slitting the opponent's throat but one's own fingers.

So Zhang San only parried without attacking, just waiting for the opponent's moves to become stale.

Then he would finish them off with the Small Night Blade.

And after the thirty-seventh move during the exchange, Zhang San heard some unusual vibrations in his ears! As well as some sounds of metal clashes. Zhang San looked sideways and saw countless birds startled into flight in the distant southern city at night.

The vibrations and sounds were still faint, but Zhang San's intuition told him these were the signs of large numbers of armored troops with strong bows, stiff crossbows, and fine weapons slowly entering the southern city!

But at the same time, the opportunity Zhang San had been waiting for so long finally came!

Zhang San knew that in order to leave with Wang Xiaoer before being completely surrounded, this was the last and best chance!

When Li Xing slashed his sword in vain, Kill Wolf followed up with another strike. During the gap between their continuous attacks...

However, this was already the third time they had used this combined attack method.

The first two times...

Without any hesitation, Zhang San's right hand touched the cuff. A Small Night Blade immediately landed in his palm from the slit between the layers of his sleeve.

The cold light flashed, and the killing intent was strong.

Of the three, only the most composed Kill Wolf felt a trace of inexplicable fear.

However, at the very moment when Zhang San was about to make a move with the Small Night Blade, a loud shout filled with inner strength came from the tall building in the distance.

"Retreat quickly!"

That was the shout the two lightness skill masters by Lu Gaosheng's side were ordered to give beforehand.

The moment they heard the sound, regardless of whether it was Li Xing or Blood Wolf, both had absolute loyalty and trust in Lu Gaosheng. Knowing the shout must have been arranged by Lu Gaosheng, the two did not hesitate at all and quickly retreated with all their inner strength.

In the end, Zhang San's Small Night Blade did not come out, and Li Xing and Blood Wolf narrowly escaped disaster.

Li Xing and the Twin Wolves retreated far away.

In the dark of night, supported by two lightness skill masters, Lu Gaosheng descended from the tall building through the air.

With his arrogant temperament, paired with such a scene, his demeanor was no less than that of a martial arts grandmaster.

Lu Gaosheng arrived on the dimly lit street.

Li Xing and the Twin Wolves watched and were wary of Zhang San, then slowly retreated to Lu Gaosheng's side. Li Xing bowed, and the Twin Wolves knelt on one knee, showing absolute obedience to Lu Gaosheng.

Lu Gaosheng smiled at Zhang San.

But unlike usual, while Lu Gaosheng's arrogant temperament and handsome looks did not change, the smile he revealed carried a hint of madness.

Watching this scene, although the newcomer did not have the slightest martial skill and was a weak scholar,

However, facing Lu Gaosheng, Zhang San felt even more uncomfortable than facing the three upper stage Earth Rank masters at once.

That feeling was called - repression.

But upon thinking about it, it also made sense that someone who could completely control murderous villains like the Twin Wolves and a top Earth Rank expert from the military like Li Xing, making them completely obedient, would naturally be much more terrifying than these three in a certain sense.

Lu Gaosheng smiled at Zhang San and gestured for him to look around at the families with their doors sealed by the yamen and warned not to watch the commotion.

Lu Gaosheng laughed and said, "Would you care to come inside for a drink?"

As he spoke, Lu Gaosheng took out the famous wine he had prepared long ago, along with two white jade cups.
