hem was so close that even the most skilled martial artist couldn't dodge a punch capable of creating a sonic boom. And with Chen Pingan holding the injured Li Qiushui in his arms, his mobility was s..."Cough cough cough······"

After the woman fell, the old man coughed incessantly until his breath came even. Only then did he look again at the woman lying in a pool of blood, her last breaths fading away, with a look of regret on his face.

"You ask a good question. I'll tell you so that you die with understanding."

"The Dragon King's Hall has returned from overseas, they want to unify all the forces above and below in Tianchao. The southwest region has a fierce folk customs and is undeniably the most powerful fighting force in the country. Once the underworld forces of the southwest are controlled, it is equivalent to controlling one-third of the underworld forces in Tianchao. The underworld forces in the southwest are controlled by three major demons. The Dragon King's Hall has studied Chen Changsheng and Wu Shengjie, knowing that they would not submit, so they could only kill them and then support those who were willing to obey. As for you, young master, seeing that you have a beautiful face, he wants you to be his woman!"

"Too bad you're such a scum, even drugged you still want to challenge me for my life Then I can only say sorry!"

"Let me tell you the truth, that so-called Chen Ping'an wasn't a martial artist at all. He was just Gao Weiwei's kept man. The puppetry in the video was done by Yingzi. The reason I told you it was Chen Ping'an who killed Chen Changsheng and Wu Shengjie was to make you and Yingzi both lose. Now someone has gone after Yingzi. As long as Yingzi dies, there will be no one in Southwest who can stop the Dragon Palace Young Master from becoming the King of Southwest and unifying the underground forces of Southwest. With Southwest as the foundation, he will then unify the underground forces of the entire dynasty. At that time, I will be one of the greatest contributors to the return of the Dragon Palace, enjoying wealth and glory beyond measure. Well, I've said everything I need to say. Can you rest in peace now"

The old man's words left the woman utterly despairing.

"No way, the Uncle Zhong I know wouldn't do that. You're lying to me, aren't you"

"You..."

The woman tried to say something more, but the old man wouldn't give her a chance. He plunged his knife into her body again. Her eyes widened, her legs kicked, and she died with unseeing eyes!

"Bah!"

"I've been in your Li family for so many years, and I haven't gotten anything. For my whole life, I've only been a servant who can be called upon at will. I've had enough! I want to live for myself once. If you blame anyone, blame your own bad luck!"

The old man finished wiping the blood from his knife onto the woman's body, then got up and left the alley.

Only after the old man had walked away did Chen Ping come before that woman.

Through their recent conversation, Chen Ping knew that the woman before him was Li Qiu Shui, one of the three great demon kings of the southwest.

She was just about to kill herself because she was used by someone.

Chen Pingan knelt before the woman, probing her nostrils and neck with his hand.

Although there is no breathing, the pulse is still faintly beating.

"Consider yourself lucky to have met me, your life is spared!"

Chen Pingan muttered to himself, his index finger and middle finger pressed against the woman's body a few times. Using the acupoint technique from the Nine Dragons Medical Canon, he blocked the woman's meridians and stopped her bleeding.

Then, he took out a golden needle from the Dragon Ring and inserted it into the opponent's Shen Ting acupoint, sealing off their life force first before carrying them out of the alley and hailing a taxi.

"Sir, which hotel are you going to"

The driver saw Chen Ping holding a still woman. It was night, and the streetlights were dim, so the driver didn't notice the blood on the woman's body. He thought Chen Ping had met a drunk woman by the roadside and was taking her to a hotel for some fun.

"In twenty minutes, I'll be at Longquan Villa!" Chen Pingan said in a deep voice.

He now lives in a shared apartment with Li Ruonan and Qin Shiyu. Taking an injured woman back would obviously be inappropriate. He remembered the Dragon Spring Villa that Zhao Shekai had given him, it was quiet, and no one lived there, perfect for recuperation!

The driver, upon hearing that the destination was Longquan Villa, seemed a little puzzled.

The Dragon Spring Villa is the most expensive and luxurious villa in Longcheng.

The driver glanced up and down at Chen Ping'an, noticing the security uniform he was wearing. He thought Chen Ping'an was a security guard from Longquan Villa! he took his pulse. After a few minutes, Chen Pingan shook his head.His head shake made Ginger's heart sink to the bottom of her stomach, shattering any hope she had left.Her mother had just passed aw...
