carriage. But why would Princess Huaqing come to the Xue family""I don't know..."Seeing Princess Huqing's carriage directly enter the Xue family, everyone's hearts became even more puzzled. The Bai f...This is the mark of the Twelvefold Tower!"

During the day, Lin Weihua saw a headless body on the deck and then noticed a special tattoo on the neck of the corpse.

"Twelvefold Tower That assassin organization from the martial world"

Zhang Liyang, who was beside him, was also taken aback by Lin Weihua's words.

The Twelve-Storyed Building, a renowned assassin organization in the martial arts world.

The most brilliant achievement was successfully assassinating a cultivator at the Fourth Environment, which directly shocked the entire martial world!

Regardless of their methods, to be able to claim ancestral glory in the Jianghu within the Third Ring is no small feat. To assassinate a cultivator of the Fourth Environment is truly earth-shattering.

Though the splendor of the Twelve-Storyed Building has faded with time, its power within the martial arts world remains undeniable.

"To get the Twelve Floors to move, that price won't be cheap."

"Who cares" He kicked the assassin's corpse into the river with one foot. Watching the body bob up and down with the waves, Zhang Liyang said with a gloomy gaze, "This Jianghu is all about killing each other. It's a battle for fame and fortune, a game of life and death!"

"Meet force with force, and water with earth. No matter how many stories high it is, I'll keep on going."

This sounds mighty and bold, but only Zhang Liyang knows the helplessness behind it.

Although Zhang Liyang didn't know what the punishment would be for failing to complete the system task, he absolutely wouldn't allow his system task to fail!

"Haha... Such big words!"

As soon as Zhang Liyang’s words fell, laughter came from the river surface. Looking up, a figure was walking towards Zhang Liyang across the waves.

"Just try it and you'll know!"

Zhang Liyang's eyes narrowed, his figure flickering as he landed on the surface of the river. He then took slow steps towards the person opposite him.

"Bold!" Seeing that Zhang Liyang came alone, the middle-aged man had admiration in his eyes. He then stopped five zhang outside of Zhang Liyang and cupped his hands, "Twelve Story Tower, Kong Tao."

"You assassin, where do you get so many useless words from" Zhang Liyang looked at Kong Tao with impatience, his brow furrowed. "If you want to fight, just hurry up, and if you don't, get out of the way!"

"Young people shouldn't be so quick to anger." Kong Tao's admiration vanished, replaced by a cold killing intent. "Don't think that just because you have some skill, you can act recklessly. Remember..."

"Too noisy!"

Before Kong Tao could finish speaking, Zhang Liyang, already impatient, suddenly took a step forward. With tremendous force, huge waves surged up. Zhang Liyang, like an arrow, leaped across five zhang.

Boom!

With a single punch, his fist struck like a collapsing mountain. Before it even reached Kong Tao, the sheer force of the blow created a massive dent in the surface of the river!

"Nice to see you!"

Kong Tao's eyes narrowed, and the energy of heaven and earth within him surged. He grasped his sword with lightning speed.

Bang!

A cold light flashed, and a streak of lightning rose on the surface of the river. Under the icy blade intent, the surrounding summer heat receded, making people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar!

Cold Moon, Slash!

The blade is ice-cold, razor sharp!

Yet Zhang Liyang did not stop at all. As his sleeve flipped, a glimmer of white gold appeared on the fist of Zhang Liyang, then he punched directly towards the blade!

Here it is!

The clash of metal echoed, sparks flying everywhere!

Waves surged, then were shattered by a force that was overwhelming.

A multitude of water droplets scattered, refracting a dazzling rainbow in the sunlight.

But now no one pays attention to the splendor of the rainbow. Everyone's eyes are focused on the two people battling on the surface of the river.

Although Kong Tao was astonished that his sword strike had been parried by Zhang Liyang's bare palm, the killing intent in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.

The human body has many weak points, such as the eyes and genitals. These same areas can also be fatal!

Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da~

The platinum radiance blossomed, and Zhang Liyang hastily replaced the immovable mountain divine ability with cutting gold and jade!

Zhang Liyang's supernatural power of cutting gold and jade is rarely used, but that doesn't mean it's not effective.

Under this divine ability, Zhang Liyang's palm was like a blade, not only as sharp as a blade but also as hard as one!

Moreover, Zhang Liyang also discovered that under the Golden Severing Jade Divine Ability, his speed of striking was several points faster than usual!

A late stage Qi Jing Realm expert, a mid stage Eight Meridian Realm expert, one wielding a flesh palm and the other a blade, fought fiercely upon the surface of the river.

The river was turbulent, with waves crashing into each other incessantly. But as the power of each wave surged upwards, it dissipated into countless water droplets upon reaching its peak. Meanwhile, a brilliant rainbow remained suspended above the river surface.

The icy blade in Kong Tao's hand transformed into a killing whirlwind.

The ferocious attack style is unbelievable for a hitman who values one strike to kill.

But at this moment, Kong Tao's eyes were already full of solemnity.

Because Kong Tao's attack was fierce, but Zhang Liyang's attack was even more ferocious!

The palm is the palm, far faster than a blade's attack speed. Especially when the palm is almost like a blade, the continuous onslaught is nearly watertight!

"For months of killing!"

Kong Tao's long sword danced in his hand, its flashing blade seeming to conjure several cold moons around him. Under the gleam of each moon, it was impossible to discern which one concealed a deadly strike.

"Cut!"

Under the movement of heaven and earth's energy, the cold moons surrounding Zhang Liyang slashed towards him at high speed!

Under the chilling intent, it was astonishing to discover that all cold moons held a killing move!

Whew!

Facing the continuous onslaught of cold moon attacks, Zhang Liyang waved his arms, spreading his azure robe. It unfurled like a blue barrier, deflecting all the cold moons outside.

"Treasure!"

Knowing he could withstand the attacks of a month-long killing spree, Kong Tao knew this must be an extremely rare treasure!

But facing the treasure, Kong Tao's eyes held no greed, only solemnity.

As expected, with the killer move blocked, Zhang Liyang underneath Qing Yi also took advantage of this opportunity to launch his own attack!

Whew!

Qingyi turned, and before Kong Tao could react, she directly transformed Qingyi into a rope, then wrapped it around the long sword in Kong Tao's hand.

"Come here!"

A tremendous force erupted from Zhang Liyang's body, pulling Kong Tao stumbling backward several steps.

"Sever gold and jade, cut!"

Platinum spears flashed before Kong Tao's eyes. Although he dodged as best he could, a bloody wound still appeared on his chest.

Blood, as red as rubies, flowed from the wound that was half an inch deep. Kong Tao had long since lost the arrogance he had at the beginning.

Now, you can go die!

The bloodstained palm struck again, and with incredible speed, Kong Tao, stripped of his weapon, was like a lamb awaiting slaughter. No matter how he struggled, the final outcome remained unchanged.

Ta-da!

A gleaming blade was held by Zhang Liyang, who then handed it to Guan Fengsi. "Here you go."

Receiving the long sword with both hands, Guan Fengsi felt a chill run down his spine. His heart was filled with anticipation, and a wide smile spread across his face. "Thank you for your generous gift, sir!"ng and He Houde also nodded in agreement. They were all not young anymore, and had children of their own, so they naturally understood that whether a daughter could live a good life depended entirely...
