"I'll go!"
Morin, who had been called the wrong name, showed some dissatisfaction. Actually, with his usual style of doing things, it should be very fortunate that his name was not remembered correctly. But in essence, Morin was someone who liked to show off a little. But the Mo family was born with an incomplete bloodline. Even if he embarked on the dangerous and cruel profession of an assassin, he could not directly confront them.
Although he repeatedly opposed Lu Ping's actions, he was actually a little happy in his heart. Especially after Ju Fang showed up and was killed by Lu Ping's Flying Sound Slash before he could even introduce himself. This feeling made him feel very good. Thus, he easily accepted the way Lu Ping and the others swaggered through the streets, and secretly hoped that something would happen.
Something finally happened at the north city gate, but they called him the wrong name. This was really disappointing.
However, the newcomer did not notice this. After confirming the three of them one by one, he completely ignored Fang Yizhu and Ling Zi Yan who came with them.
"What do you mean?" Lu Ping asked.
"I am Xu Ben," the person said.
It was only a name, but there were already several screams in the surroundings. The passersby who were passing through the city gate suddenly scattered in unison. In the blink of an eye, only Xu Ben and Lu Ping's group of five were left within a few dozen meters of the city gate. The others had all escaped.
Even the guards at the city gate changed their expressions when they heard this name. They only knew that this person was sent by the City Lord's Office. But Xu Ben? Was it that Xu Ben? Why was this person in the City Lord's Office? This person was the same as the five in front of him, a wanted criminal by the Xuan Army Empire. So in a sense, he was the same as the five.
But in comparison, the common people were not that afraid of Lu Ping and the others. They had killed the Council's supervisors and battled the City Lord's Office. Although they were daring, they did not implicate the common people. But this Xu Ben was different. Seven years ago, when he broke through to the Four Spirits, he was already famous. Common people were like ants in his eyes. This kind of killing was as common as eating and drinking to him.
The three empires each had their own laws. But cultivators were stronger than others, especially those who had broken through to the Four Spirits. Common people could not do anything if they broke the law. But the three empires wanted to rule the continent and had ways to suppress these strong people. The three empires each had their own agencies to deal with these strong people.
Xu Ben had been chased by the Xuan Army Empire's National Protectorate experts. He had to hide his identity under Long Tao's protection in Zhiling City.
Lu Ping and the others' crimes were even more intolerable, but the Xuan Army Empire still hadn't sent any experts to protect the country. It was obvious that they didn't think much of them, and they weren't as strong as Xu Ben from seven years ago.
It was also because of this that Xu Ben, who had the same experience as Lu Pingping and the others, was quite confident in facing them.
As for Lu Ping and the others, Morin was the only one who reacted to Xu Ben's name. He had naturally heard of such a famous criminal. He glanced at Lu Ping and knew that Lu Ping definitely did not know. But he was too lazy to introduce him.
However, Xu Ben opened his mouth and said, "I have no enmity with the three of you, and I don't care about the Xuan Army Empire's bounty. To be more accurate, the three of us are actually the same. I am also a wanted criminal of the Xuan Army Empire."
"En." Lu Ping replied and just listened.
"But now I want to take down the three of you in exchange for myself. It's that simple." Xu Ben said.
"It shouldn't be that simple." Lu Ping shook his head.
"That's true." Xu Ben smiled. "Sir's strength is unexpected. To be honest, I was afraid that someone else would get the credit first. But now, I am glad that I was a step slower. Otherwise, the one who fell on the street might have been me. "
"Let's not talk anymore. Just tell us if you want us to go over." Lu Ping waved his hand.
"I've made myself clear enough," Xu Ben said.
"Alright." Lu Ping nodded and attacked. Flying Sound Slash!
The formless soul of sound left a ripple in the air. It flew towards Xu Ben at a speed that normal people could not detect.
Xu Ben was already prepared for Lu Ping's attack. When Lu Ping raised his hand, Xu Ben's body had already moved. When the Flying Sound Slash arrived, Xu Ben took a step to the side and evaded the ripple.
"Guo …" Xu Ben said one word. He did not stop moving. If he just stared at Lu Ping's movements and dodged, it would be too passive. He was prepared to reduce Lu Ping's accuracy through continuous fast movements and then attack.
But after he said that one word, Xu Ben's movements suddenly stopped. His body that was charging diagonally only completed the arrow step. His right hand was holding his metal rod and his left hand was about to form a special ability. But everything stopped after he said that one word.
Flying Sound Slash, hit!
The soul of sound instantly went through his body and destroyed all his intentions. He wanted to praise, "That's really fast." In the end, he only said one word. The only thing left in him was his consciousness.
How?
He couldn't believe it.
He saw Lu Ping lift his shoulder and raise his hand for the second Flying Sound Slash. It came faster than he expected. But at that time, his movement was already fully activated. It was faster than when he started. He was more confident in dodging this attack than dodging the first one.
However, this attack actually chased after him and completely grasped his movements.
How could Flying Sound Slash have such an effect? So there was another special ability in this Flying Sound Slash? Then why didn't he use it on the first attack?
With a mind full of doubts, Xu Ben fell to the ground after the inertia of the arrow step.
Lu Ping's soul of sound basically caused crushing internal injuries. Xu Ben's death didn't look scary on the surface. But his eyes were wide open and revealed a clear surprise. How did I die? Like the previous Ju Fang, he didn't know.
"Sigh …" Merlin sighed from the side.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ping looked at him.
"It's still so simple. I thought there would be more twists and turns." Morin sighed. Upon witnessing Xu Ben dodge Lu Ping's first strike, Mo Lin assumed that an intense confrontation would ensue, and he was even ready to intervene and help Xu Ben. However, Xu Ben's second strike managed to take him down.
"This guy died because he talked too much." Morin sighed again. Of course, he knew what the second attack was. After the two sides reunited, they told each other everything about their situation in the past year. Morin knew that Lu Ping had mastered the "One Sound Attack" special ability, so it wasn't hard for him to guess why Xu Ben couldn't dodge the second attack. It was because his shout of "fruit" was the best assistance to Lu Ping.
