nThe innkeeper watched Jiang Lan leave, unable to conceal the astonishment in his eyes.

n

n

n“Although his talent is lacking, it’s enough.”

n

n

n“Perhaps it’s because his talent is slightly inferior that makes him so extraordinary.”

n

n

n“In the end, it’s hard to have both.”

n

n

n“No wonder Mo Zhengdong didn’t look for new disciples these few years.”

n

n

n“Grandpa, what are you mumbling about?” The young man came to the counter and asked curiously.

n

n

n“I’m thinking that you’re no longer young. It’s time to begin your special training,” the innkeeper said, looking at the young man.

n

n

nThe youth was confused.

n

n

nNo, he was still very young.

n

n

n…

n

n

nJiang Lan kept the items, still unable to comprehend the inn owner’s attitude.

n

n

nHe clearly took back the peanuts, but in the end, he gave him even more.

n

n

nWhat was he doing?

n

n

nDid he have too many peanuts and they were going to expire?

n

n

nJiang Lan didn’t know, but he would go back and ask his Master. Perhaps he would be able to understand better.

n

n

nOf course, before he went back, he needed to take care of some things.

n

n

nNot long after he left the inn.

n

n

nSomeone had been following him.

n

n

nAnd they were using something to lure him to a more remote place.

n

n

nAfter confirming that the other party was only at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm, he followed the other party’s tricks and slowly walked towards a remote area.

n

n

nA place where no one would pass by.

n

n

nWhen he arrived, Jiang Lan sensed that there were people lying in ambush.

n

n

nIn the end, Jiang Lan stopped at the mountain stream.

n

n

nThere were two people in front of him. One of them was a woman on the ground. She was injured and was wearing plain clothes.

n

n

nJiang Lan remembered that it was the demoness he saw earlier.

n

n

nBeside the demoness was a bludgeoned rabbit.

n

n

nIts chest seemed to be burning with flames and was covered in wounds.

n

n

nNot only that, the fur on its body was almost all stripped off, as if it had been tortured.

n

n

nAs for the other person, it was naturally the person he had encountered earlier.

n

n

nHe called himself a disciple of the Fifth Summit, Liao Yan.

n

n

n“Junior Brother, we meet again. You don’t look very surprised.” Liao Yan smiled at Jiang Lan.

n

n

nAt this moment, they had already surrounded Jiang Lan.

n

n

n“Does Senior Brother need something?” Jiang Lan asked.

n

n

nJiang Lan really didn’t understand why the other party was looking for him.

n

n

nOf course, there had to be a reason to kill him.

n

n

nDid he know too much, or did he find him an eyesore?

n

n

nThere had to be a prerequisite.

n

n

n“Junior Brother, do you know about these two demons?” Liao Yan lowered his head and looked at the two demons before continuing.

n

n

n“I have something that they stole, but I couldn’t find it on them.

n

n

nAnd these two demons have only come into contact with you.

n

n

nJunior Brother should know where it is, right?”

n

n

n“I don’t know,” Jiang Lan answered directly.

n

n

nLiao Yan didn’t mind Jiang Lan’s denial. He only said,

n

n

n“Then I want to ask you for a favor. I want to borrow something from you.”

n

n

n“My life?” Jiang Lan asked.

n

n

nLiao Yan remained quiet.

n

n

nJiang Lan’s answer surprised him.

n

n

n“Junior Brother seems to be fearless. Do you think I can’t do anything to you because we’re all at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm?” Liao Yan didn’t frown. He felt that Jiang Lan’s behavior was a little abnormal.

n

n

n“No. I’m just curious as to why you want to kill me.” Jiang Lan’s voice carried no emotion.

n

n

nInstead of answering, Liao Yan looked behind Jiang Lan and suddenly said,

n

n

n“Junior Brother, look behind you.”

n

n

nAfter the other party’s reminder, Jiang Lan looked back.

n

n

nAt this moment, Liao Yan moved.

n

n

nHis hand immediately transformed into a demonic sharp claw as he reached for Jiang Lan’s neck.

n

n

nJiang Lan was still looking behind him.

n

n

nLiao Yan wanted to make use of this opportunity for a sneak attack when the other party was not paying attention.

n

n

nAttacking openly would bring unnecessary trouble.

n

n

nIt was too easy to be seen on the road back.

n

n

nThis was the most suitable place to take action.

n

n

nExcept…

n

n

nWhen he thought he was about to succeed as he saw that his claws were only three inches away from Jiang Lan’s neck…

n

n

nHe…

n

n

ncouldn’t move.

n

n

n“What does Senior Brother want to do?” Jiang Lan turned around, one hand grabbing Liao Yan’s arm.

n

n

nLiao Yan wanted to break free, but he could not.

n

n

nHe was in disbelief. He had used all his cultivation and did not underestimate his opponent.

n

n

nWhy?

n

n

nWhy did his opponent block his attack so easily?

n

n

n“You…”

n

n

nThe moment Liao Yan spoke, a crisp sound was heard.

n

n

nCrack!

n

n

nIt was the sound of an arm breaking.

n

n

n“Ah…”

n

n

nSplat~

n

n

nLiao Yan’s arm was ripped off by Jiang Lan.

n

n

nThen, he threw it on the ground.

n

n

nLiao Yan retreated and looked at Jiang Lan in shock.

n

n

n“How is this possible? How can you be so powerful?”

n

n

nHe could clearly feel that the other party had twisted his arm effortlessly.

n

n

n“Look behind you.” Jiang Lan spoke up.

n

n

n“Do you think I’ll believe you?” Liao Yan said coldly.

n

n

nHe had only lost an arm. It did not mean that he needed to fear anything.

n

n

nHowever, he was momentarily shocked.

n

n

n“You have to believe it.” A cold voice sounded behind Liao Yan.

n

n

nIt was Jiang Lan’s voice.

n

n

nLiao Yan, who was originally calm, narrowed his eyes.

n

n

nWhen did he go behind him?

n

n

nThe thought flashed across his mind as Liao Yan turned around to deal with him.

n

n

nIt was a fatal problem to leave his back to the enemy.

n

n

nEven though he knew that the other party’s speed was somewhat ridiculous, even though he knew that he might not be able to do anything, he still had to try his best to save himself.

n

n

nBut when he turned around, what he saw was a fist.

n

n

nThis fist seemed to occupy his entire world.

n
