By the side of the Qin Nan River.

Chu Liang brought Liu Xiaoyu to the designated location in the letter, but did not see any sister. Instead, he saw a figure in brocade standing there.

"Young Marquis?"

Chu Liang was not surprised to see this. He had suspected that the letter might have been written by someone from Lord Ding Shan's mansion.

The Young Marquis watched as Chu Liang and Liu Xiaoyu approached, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips without restraint. "You've come..."

His tone was filled with resentment, and his eyes gleamed with the excitement of finally being able to release the pent-up anger that had been building up for a long time. "There are not many people who have made me so angry since I was young, but you..."

Such strong aggressiveness.

Chu Liang looked at the unmasked hostility in front of him and knew that the Young Marquis's anger towards him was about to explode. So he raised his finger.

Curse of Dispelling Evil!

Although it would eventually explode, it would be better to do it later. Let's clarify things first.

Taking advantage of the remaining uses of the forgiveness curse, he used it on the Young Marquis again. It was quite a coincidence that ever since he introduced this forgiveness curse, he had used it on the Young Marquis every time except for the test.

It could be considered the biggest victim of the forgiveness curse.

A green halo appeared out of thin air above the Young Marquis's head. He was speaking arrogantly, but suddenly froze.

The anger was cut off once again.

"You... ah ba ah ba..." The sudden change caused the Young Marquis's words to be stuck in his mouth and dissipate.

This familiar feeling.

Looking at Chu Liang in front of him, he suddenly felt that everything this person had done seemed reasonable from his perspective. And today, he had already decided to kill him. When a person is about to die, why bother being angry with him?

That's right.

The Curse of Dispelling Evil only eliminates the hostility in a person's heart, but it has no effect on the killing intent that already existed.

After all, the Young Marquis's desire to kill Chu Liang was not solely fueled by anger, but more importantly, he saw Liu Xiaoyu as a threat to Lord Ding Shan's mansion!

Seeing Xia An's eyes suddenly calm down, Chu Liang finally spoke up and asked, "Did the Young Marquis write the letter to arrange a meeting? Do you know where Miss Xiaoyu's sister is now?"

"Heh..." The Young Marquis shook his head and smiled calmly as he replied, "I don't know. If I did, I would have killed her first."

Under the effect of the curse, he was extremely calm. Faced with these two dying people, he didn't mind letting them become two enlightened ghosts on their way to the afterlife.

"Why do you want to kill my sister?" Liu Xiaoyu became anxious when she heard this and stepped forward to question.

"I originally brought her back to the Marquis's mansion without intending to kill her. But who knew she would eavesdrop on the secrets of our mansion. I wanted to sell her to the Eastern Region, but she turned out to be a demon and escaped. I can't let the secrets of the mansion be exposed..."

Xia An spoke without reservation. Then he looked at Chu Liang again and said, "You shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter. If the disciples of Shu Mountain find her, Lord Ding Shan's mansion will be in great danger. So today, I can only call you here to kill you."

He actually wanted to kill them, which was beyond Chu Liang's expectations.

But when Chu Liang heard this, although he was surprised, he didn't show any panic. Instead, he took advantage of the effect of the Curse of Dispelling Evil and quickly asked, "What secrets does Lord Ding Shan's mansion have that need to be protected so desperately?"

In an inconspicuous place, his right hand moved lightly.

There was a faint cracking sound.

"It's nothing more than the business of selling women from the Southern Region to the Eastern Region." The Young Marquis casually replied. After answering, he said again, "Now that I've told you, it's time for you to leave."

If it weren't for the effect of the Curse of Dispelling Evil, he wouldn't have wasted any words and would have attacked directly. Thanks to the curse dissipating his anger, he had the patience to explain all this.

But the original plan wouldn't change.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xiaoyu became afraid and turned to look at Chu Liang. In that glance, she seemed to see something extremely terrifying.

Fear instantly appeared in her pupils!

Chu Liang caught a glimpse of her expression and at the same time, the Red Name Sword also showed a slight movement.

In a flash, a green light surrounded him!

...

It turned out that at the same time the Young Marquis finished speaking, a black-armored arm appeared out of thin air behind Chu Liang, holding a black-bladed dagger.

This single arm holding a knife appeared silently, without any sound, and suddenly emerged from the air, stabbing towards Chu Liang.

Liu Xiaoyu happened to turn her head and saw this arm. Fortunately, Chu Liang was sharp enough to deduce the danger from Liu Xiaoyu's change in expression and the slight movement of the Red Name Sword.

In an instant, he also activated the Green Leaf artifact, wrapping himself up like a dumpling.

Chi—

This seemingly ordinary knife strike was inconspicuous, but it easily penetrated the solid defense of the Green Leaf, just like cutting through tofu. Then, it was pulled out, leaving behind a trail of blood.

After retracting the knife, the arm disappeared into thin air again.

A black figure appeared behind the Young Marquis, and he sneered, "One strike didn't kill him. His artifact is quite extraordinary."

This person was indeed Lu Shi.

The great evildoer who had once triggered the Red Name Sword.

And on the other side, Chu Liang had also removed the wrapping of the Green Leaf and sat down on the ground, gasping heavily.

It could be seen that there was a deep wound on the right side of his body, and the blood quickly soaked the grass beneath him, turning it a deep red.

"To escape a strike under Lu Shi's Seven Concealment Killing Body, you can die without regrets." The Young Marquis said coldly.

Lu Shi wiped the blood off the black blade and looked at Chu Liang with a playful expression, as if an old cat had seen a very agile little mouse.

He had achieved the sixth realm of the body refining stage, cultivating the Seven Killings inheritance, the Seven Concealment Killing Body.

During the glorious days of the Tianxing Divine Sect, the Seven Killings was not considered a major inheritance within the sect, but it was greatly feared by outsiders. Because the Seven Killings was known as the strongest assassin inheritance!

It excelled in stealthy assassinations, making it impossible for people to defend against.

The knife strike just now, which came out of nowhere and without a sound, truly demonstrated the power of the sixth realm. If it weren't for a bit of luck, Chu Liang would have already been decapitated.

But in addition to luck, he also had an item that could withstand a fatal blow from the sixth realm. Otherwise, even if he had been on guard, it would have been useless.

Although the Green Leaf artifact couldn't be considered completely blocking his strike... even if it could only block half of it, it was still commendable.

"Heh..."

Chu Liang gasped heavily, enduring the pain from his wound. He used his true energy to seal the blood vessels around him, then looked up at Liu Xiaoyu, who was dumbfounded beside him.

"Miss Xiaoyu, don't move after landing. Wait for me to find you." He spoke with difficulty.

"Huh?" Liu Xiaoyu didn't understand what he was saying at all.

Then, Chu Liang raised his finger and a green light once again enveloped Liu Xiaoyu.

This was already the third time she had been wrapped up like a fish meat dumpling.

The Green Leaf artifact refined by Wen Yulong, after being pierced by the sixth realm expert's strike, was not completely destroyed. It only left a gap.

Chu Liang lightly flicked his finger and silently said, "Launch."

Whoosh—

A green light shot up into the sky, heading towards the distant horizon!

"Don't let her escape!" The Young Marquis shouted.

Behind him, Lu Shi raised his hand again, and the half-arm disappeared into thin air, seemingly using the same technique as before.

But after retracting the knife from the void, there was no blood on it. His face darkened as he said, "She escaped so quickly, my technique couldn't keep up with this artifact..."

Clearly, he failed to catch up with Liu Xiaoyu after stabbing Chu Liang earlier.

The green leaf had already turned into a star in the distant sky, and Chu Liang's full release of true energy would probably take at least a few hundred miles to fall.

Hopefully, Liu Xiaoyu would land safely.

The Young Marquis obviously didn't expect that Chu Liang would still have such an ability to escape at this moment, but he had given it to Liu Xiaoyu instead.

He said in a stern voice, "We absolutely cannot let him leave alive!"

"He definitely won't be able to escape..." Lu Shi looked at Chu Liang with a calm expression and said, "Foolish disciple of Shu Mountain, I didn't expect you to have such means... and even more unexpectedly, you gave the hope of survival to someone else and left yourself to die..."

Chu Liang, who was sitting on the ground with serious injuries, raised his head and suddenly, to their surprise, revealed a smile.

He smiled and asked, "Who told you that?"
