Nijiao Alley.

Cui Peng leaned against a crooked neck tree, seemingly waiting for something.

"Killing Li Mo and staining myself with the blood of a Genius will allow my Blood Blade to advance to the next level."

"I just don't know if he has any experts with him besides Murong..."

As he murmured to himself,

a yellow-furred rat climbed from his trousers onto his shoulder.

After a few squeaks, a sinister arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Little beggar had successfully left his scent on the other party.

This way, he could use the exotic rat as an informant to thoroughly investigate all of the other party's information.

This included the martial arts the other party was skilled in, whether a Master was accompanying him, and his usual habits.

"When you fully understand a person, you can easily kill him."

Cui Peng lightly stroked the Blood Blade under his robe, his heart filled with fervor.

Thump—

Footsteps sounded not far away.

Cui Peng looked up and saw the Little beggar he had sent earlier.

Since the objective had been achieved,

there was no need for this Little beggar to remain alive.

"Come here for the money."

Cui Peng took out a string of copper coins from his Pregnant and jingled them.

His other hand had already gripped the Blood Blade.

But before he could act,

the yellow-furred rat squeaked twice again by his ear.

His heart pounded wildly, and he abruptly turned his head to look.

He saw that, at some unknown point, a young man in a cloud-patterned brocade robe was already standing there, with a gentle smile.

"Cui Peng, you don't look like the portrait at all."

Li Mo said unhurriedly. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

He hadn't expected it.

Originally, he was helping Ice Cube find someone, and he even got an unexpected bonus.

Before the Murong could give him any news, Cui Peng had run right into his hands.

"How did you know?"

Cui Peng's voice was like a cold wind blowing from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

His entire being was stretched to the limit.

Understanding his enemy made him feel like a hunter, confident in his grasp of strategy.

But at this moment,

the other party had suddenly found him.

It was unclear who was the prey and who was the hunter.

"There are many things in this world that you don't know."

Li Mo shook his head.

Within the Tianming Divine Eye, the other party's information appeared:

【Name: Cui Peng】

【Age: 28】

【Bone Structure: White Ape Arm.】

【Realm: Inner Breath Condensation Realm.】

【Fate: Green with a hint of gray.】

【Evaluation: A cold-blooded and ruthless swordsman with extremely good luck, a natural killer.】

【Recent Encounter: The Blood Blade has reached a Bottleneck, his injuries have not yet healed, he is at his wit's end, and he plans to take a risk, attempting to ambush Li Mo, a True Disciple of the Qingyuan Sect, and use this achievement to join the Rain Listening Pavilion.】

Cui Peng stared intently at Li Mo.

A pale red short blade, reeking of blood, had already fallen into his palm.

In the alley, the atmosphere solidified, filled with killing intent.

The Little beggar was already scared stiff, his young mind a blank, and the rice bag in his hand dropped to the ground with a thud.

"You go first."

Li Mo walked to his side and patted his head.

"Thank... thank you..."

The Little beggar left in a state of panic, stumbling and falling to the ground several {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} times because his legs were weak.

When he reached the alley entrance, he looked back one last time.

Although he didn't understand what had happened,

he vaguely knew that Li Daxian of the Qingyuan Sect was a good person, and the beggar who gave him money to do things was a bad person.

Cui Peng!

That was the madman who had caused deaths a while ago!

Thud—

In his panic, he snapped a branch.

And the atmosphere in the alley instantly broke.

"Playing tricks."

"Dare to come find me alone, today will be your death day!"

The gloom in Cui Peng's eyes turned dangerous.

The Blood Blade appeared in his palm, drawing a sharp arc as it stabbed towards Li Mo's chest.

The blade hummed, actually carrying...

Soldier Killing Sharp Qi?

It seemed to also be mixed with a hint of blood?

Li Mo's expression was strange.

He could be sure that Cui Peng held nothing back.

Because for him, fighting to the death and ending the battle as quickly as possible was the best option.

But wasn't this a coincidence...

"You kill people to cultivate such a blade technique."

Li Mo shook his head.

He had originally wanted to try out his Hammer Technique, but now it seemed unnecessary.

The Chixiao Sword at his waist fell into his palm.

Clang, clang, clang—

In a flash of lightning.

The Chixiao directly cut through the Inner Breath wrapped around the opponent's blade, colliding with the Blood Blade several times.

In the opponent's disbelieving eyes, the Blood Blade, which was close to a famous Mystic Weapon, actually broke into small nicks.

Cui Peng's eyes were tearing.

However, before he could feel the pain,

the place where the weapons had just clashed suddenly erupted with explosive force.

Crack—

The Blood Blade shattered.

The backlash was an even more surging Soldier Killing Sharp Qi, which crippled his entire arm.

"You also know... Blood Blade?"

Cui Peng's heart was in turmoil.

"What is this?"

Puff—

Blood splattered, flowing down the Chixiao Sword.

Cui Peng died peacefully.

"Even a peak Inner Breath Condensation Realm expert would definitely not be my opponent."

Li Mo was actually quite surprised.

Was he really this strong now?

He had just used what could only be considered an 'ordinary sword strike', yet he instantly killed someone above his Realm.

But it made sense when he thought about it. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Although he was in the Qi Blood Realm, he had already exceeded the upper limit of the twelve meridians.

The Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body, which naturally carried Soldier Killing Sharp Qi with every strike, could easily break through the 'Qi' of the Inner Breath Condensation Realm.

He also held a Mystic Weapon in his hand.

It was a combination of conditions that ordinary people could not achieve that allowed him to complete the 'feat' of 'instant kill across Realms'.

"I had originally hoped Cui Peng could help me hone my combat skills."

Li Mo shook his head, glanced at the opponent's corpse, and searched his Pregnant.

Cough, this was purely because Xiao Li had played too many games in his previous life and habitually looted corpses after killing monsters.

"Silver notes... Blood Blade... Bone Strengthening Pill..."

He didn't think much of most of the things on the other party.

The Blood Blade, which Cui Peng valued as his life, was only a middle-grade martial art.

He lacked neither silver notes nor Medicinal Pills.

"This is..."

Li Mo suddenly felt a hard, sharp object.

When he pulled it out, it was an iron swallow.

The material was not extraordinary, just the most common ordinary iron, but the calligraphic writing on it had a strange and sharp quality.

It read:

【The Hall Courtyard Swallow of the old Wang and Xie families, flew into the homes of ordinary people.】

"The Hall Courtyard Swallow of the Rain Listening Pavilion."

Li Mo recognized this item.

He had heard his beautiful Master mention it during a casual chat.

The Rain Listening Pavilion was the most notorious organization in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Even their initiation ceremony was extremely inhumane.

To join the Rain Listening Pavilion, you don't actively sign up; they come to find you.

An iron swallow meant they had already found you.

Whether you were willing or not, you had to participate in the 'Wu Jian Trial'.

The so-called Wu Jian Trial was to designate an area and have the chosen people fight each other.

Only the few who survived until the end could join the Pavilion.

"The Wu Jian Trial of the Rain Listening Pavilion is about to begin in Ziyang Prefecture?"

Li Mo wasn't interested in such an organization.

He would wait for the constables to arrive and send Cui Peng's body to the Sect together, letting the Elders consider it.

Just then,

"It's up ahead!"

The Little beggar's voice sounded.

With him were Murong Hai and Murong Xiao, grandfather and grandson.

Murong Xiao was a little anxious when he heard no movement here.

"It's nothing, Li Xiaoyou is safe."

Murong Hai was a Guan Shen Realm expert, with powerful perception.

He could sense that there was only Li Mo's aura in Nijiao Alley, and it was quite stable.

Presumably, that Cui Peng must have escaped...

The thought had not yet finished.

He saw the young man standing in front of a corpse, playing with the iron swallow in his hand.
