Chapter 548: 359 Chapter Father-Daughter Conflict + 360 Chapter Sealing Formation to Block the Door_4

"Master Cui, how about you release the Blood Spirit Child again and see if I can slay you with my blade before it returns?"

He laughed loudly, his body steaming with blood mist. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of filthy blood, piercing the ground and going straight into the earth.

His face turned deathly pale, but with two breaths, it gradually regained its rosiness; vitality surged, and the radiant light returned to his face, fully reinvigorated.

Within the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array of the Governor’s mansion, there was complete silence.

Clearly, the County Magistrate Cui knew he was no match for Zhou Ping’an and decided to play dead.

Or perhaps, he was buying time to refine the Blood Spirit Child again.

Before the Blood Spirit Child reached Great Achievement, words were useless. Alone, it couldn’t withstand the edge of Zhou Ping’an’s blade.

Returned inside the array, combined with the Myriad Spirits Blood Sword, it indeed possessed tremendous combat power, fearing no heroes of the world. But who would willingly enter the formation and subject themselves to torment?

Lin Huaiyu rode forward, dismounted next to Zhou Ping’an, and quietly took his hand, whispering, "Are your injuries manageable? Next time, don’t enter the formation alone..."

Her voice was still gentle and soft, betraying no emotional fluctuation.

However, Zhou Ping’an could feel an extremely slight trembling and throbbing from the small hand she grasped.

"Are you worried about me?"

Zhou Ping’an smiled.

"Why would I worry? In this world, is there anyone you, Officer Zhou, cannot kill?" Lin Huaiyu gave him a glance.

It was sarcasm, pure and simple.

Zhou Ping’an felt a blockage in his heart.

The Third Miss was reminding him indirectly that there are always experts in the world; being too arrogant could lead to disaster, and one might capsize in a ditch unexpectedly.

Now even Master Cui could not be killed by him.

Rushing into someone else’s formation to fight a life-and-death battle was indeed unwise.

"Don’t worry, I have means to protect my life."

Zhou Ping’an spoke softly.

He was no foolish ’tyrant’ who couldn’t heed advice.

Lin Huaiyu’s concern was well-intentioned, and he could hear it.

"Lin Family Master became a Sword Path Master in the Heavenly Human Sensing Realm with just the Hanyang Bleeding Sword Technique, and it is said he has spent years within the Heart Inquiry Hall, not concerning himself with worldly affairs. Something is fishy here..."

"Are you suggesting...?" asked Lin Huaiyu, always sharp-witted.

Prompted by Zhou Ping’an, she immediately realized, "The Jiangzhou Wang Family is immensely wealthy, their daughters forming marriages far and wide, and supporting allies in all directions like a spider spinning a web."

"My father, bah, he’s not my father, just a human scum...", Lin Huaiyu sighed deeply and glanced once more at Lin Zhongde, who had ceased his rolling and screams on the ground; the heaviness in her heart dissipated as she rarely swore.

She continued, "The Lin Family Master was resolute with us for a reason. Certainly, that vile woman from the Wang family must have been involved. This means he must have obtained some incredible treasures from the Wang family, thus becoming a Sword Path Master with ordinary talent and ordinary cultivation technique..."

"Exactly, that’s what I meant."

Zhou Ping’an affirmed her realization.

From the beginning, he felt that Lin Zhongde, the Sword Path Master, was somewhat dubious.

Recalling the two Grandmasters he encountered, Yue Chengtian who opened with Wind and Rain Thunder, wielding the Divine Thunder Punishment Sword like heavenly judgment; had it not been for encounters with him, he would have roamed freely, even engaging True Martial Realm experts without showing defeat.

And the Old Daoist Cang Wu, with the Longevity Azure Wood Sword in hand, was unpredictable and mysterious, blossoms blooming around him.

Killing as if mowing down grass, and even if wounded, he healed instantly.

The exquisiteness of his swordsmanship left the Yunjin Guardian General with no opportunity to strike.

Compared to these two, Lin Zhongde was indeed inferior; his Divine Will and Sword Technique did not quite align.

Otherwise, he would not have been defeated so swiftly and miserably by Lin Huaiyu.

"Go on, redress your grievances and revenge; since Madam Wang has become your fixation, sever this inner demon and cleanse your spirit."

Zhou Ping’an smiled, "I also want to see who can reach Martial Intent Reaching God and enter the Heavenly Human Sensing Realm faster."

"Alright, let’s see who can do it quicker."

Lin Huaiyu gathered a troop of a hundred, mounted her horse, flicked the reins, and headed straight for the Lin Family.

Zhou Ping’an left behind five hundred cavalry, waving his hand as the rest dispersed in small squads towards the city’s four sides to clear any remaining enemies and restore order, signifying Guangyun County had changed rulers.

As for himself, he perched above the street from a teahouse across the Guangyun County Governor Mansion.

He stayed vigilant.

Once the Blood Spirit was deployed, he would charge into the formation and strike down Lord Cui.

"You can’t do it this way."

A figure quietly appeared beside him.

That was a gracefully aged middle-aged Daoist in a gray Taoist robe with five long whiskers and a gentle expression.

"It’s truly an honor to have Master Fang visiting; clad in armor, I couldn’t offer full courtesies, please forgive my indiscretion..."

Zhou Ping’an smiled and bowed.
