Chapter 185: Chapter 166: Three Forces Join Forces to Annihilate!_4

Li Ping’an, on a whim, used the four Divine Skills: expel spirits, Borrowing Wind, Teleportation, and Divine Travel, to control the iron sword beneath his feet, then practiced Sword Control flight within the house.

This time, his Object-Controlled Flight was much more skilled and stable than the last, and he had achieved freedom in Sword Control without any obstructions.

"Let’s try Sword Control Between Heaven and Earth!"

Li Ping’an took the lessons from his last experience, drew his sword, and ventured out, planning to fly fifty meters with Sword Control and then gradually increase his distance until he could roam freely Between Heaven and Earth with his sword.

But just as he stepped out the door, he saw a group of people approaching the rarely visited Fallen Dragon Pit dwellings, led by a man wielding an iron staff, followed by more than twenty men with knives, and one person sitting on a chair carried by four others.

"Aren’t the people of Chang’an City afraid to come to the Fallen Dragon Pit, especially at such a late hour? How strange!"

Since the moonlight was thick and there were no lights from nearby houses, the group was shrouded in darkness and their specific appearances were indiscernible. Li Ping’an did not take them seriously, nor did he suspect they were there to seek revenge. He thought they might be like him, living carefully and looking for a cheap place to stay, so he simply stood at the door watching carefully.

"What brings you lot to the Fallen Dragon Pit in the middle of the night?"

Li Ping’an kindly asked, but his question excited the group:

"That beast is right in front of us, brothers, quicken your pace!"

Iron Staff Wang Lang led the people swiftly, wanting to capture the credit first. They stopped only when they were twenty meters away from Li Ping’an, and it was then that Li Ping’an could see the people’s faces:

"It’s you?"

Greatly astonished, Li Ping’an had not expected that Cen Fuda and his men would break their word and come to seek revenge at night. He immediately used his Divine Power: Insight into the Hidden to scan the area:

"Fortunately, there are no individuals from the Taoist sect here!"

"Hmm? It’s him!"

Only then did Li Ping’an notice Iron Staff Wang Lang standing amidst the group, though he was still unaware of the accusation Wang Lang had made against him for killing Cen Changqing. He just felt surprised:

"Wang Lang? It’s actually you! You’re still alive?"

Iron Staff Wang Lang led his men to a halt, glaring angrily at Li Ping’an:

"Supreme Treasure! You murderer and looter, today you’ve fallen into my hands!"

"What do you mean?"

Li Ping’an thought it over and realized that Iron Staff Wang Lang and Cen Fuda’s band of villains joining forces meant ill intent. He probed again:

"Wasn’t I the one who saved your life at Five Fingers Mountain? Had it not been for me, you would already be a lonely ghost there. Don’t tell me you’ve appeared out of the blue to repay kindness with enmity and to side with Cen Fuda!"

"Pah!"

Iron Staff Wang Lang responded arrogantly:

"Today, I will avenge Master Cen Changqing and Young Master Cen!"

"Avenge?"

Li Ping’an was clear about the sneak attack on Cen Fuda but didn’t understand the situation with Cen Changqing. His confusion deepened:

"What does Cen Changqing’s death have to do with me? Weren’t you the one who killed him?"

This was exactly what Iron Staff Wang Lang had been waiting for Li Ping’an to say. He immediately turned to look at Cen Fuda:

"Official, did you hear that? I told you on our way here that this rogue was extremely deceitful and would surely try to frame me publicly. What do you think? As expected, wasn’t it!"

"Li Ping’an, do you think you can get away with shattering this young master’s kneecap?"

Cen Fuda immediately started to confront Li Ping’an, questioning him intensely.

Li Ping’an, of course, was well aware of the incident where he shattered Cen Fuda’s kneecap, but since he had done it covertly and no one had noticed, he figured Cen Fuda was testing him and thus replied firmly:

"Official Cen, when did I injure your kneecap? Do not fabricate excuses to cause me trouble!"

"Bullshit! Admit to your actions if you have the guts!"

Cen Fuda immediately retorted:

"Xie Wenren already told my father, it was you who attacked with chopsticks in the dark and shattered my kneecap. And now you still refuse to admit it?"
