Seeing that the fruit vendor was killed, Lu Ping'an hurriedly pretended to be an ordinary person, shouting and running into the distance.

He is not a moral saint, and he doesn't know the reason why the peddler was killed, so it's better not to meddle in his affairs at this time.

The only thing he couldn't figure out was that the area was very empty, but until the fruit seller's body fell to the ground, and even the blood was gone, he still didn't see the attacker.

If the other party is a few miles away, then this person's strength is simply unfathomable, and Lu Ping'an naturally has no reason to stay here.

Whew......

At this moment, Lu Ping'an suddenly heard a sound behind him similar to that made when the strings were tightened, and he suddenly felt weird, he looked back and was shocked into a cold sweat again.

I saw that the corpse of the fruit vendor actually supported the ground with both hands and flexibly climbed up from the ground!

This scene was too terrifying, Lu Ping'an's brain went blank in an instant, and he stood stupidly in place, it was not dark at this time, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be haunted!

"Uh-huh, no! It's like ......."

Lu Ping'an has been calm since he was a child, and after a short panic, he forced himself to calm down and looked carefully at the limbs of the hawker's corpse.

Sure enough, it is impossible for an ordinary person's corpse to move on its own for no reason. Lu Ping'an vaguely saw that the peddler's limbs were connected to a thread as thin as a hair, reflecting a metallic luster in the sun's rays.

Puppetry, and the most vicious and weird living corpse puppet!

"Come out! What kind of hero is hiding in the shadows?"

Lu Ping'an looked around and shouted loudly, and at the same time opened the defense of the Furious Battle Armor in advance, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

For the Lu family, puppetry was no stranger, because their biggest rival in Wanqiu City, the Chen family, was a cultivator family who was proficient in puppetry.

And those who can use living corpse puppets, in the territory of Wanqiu City, are probably only the people of the Chen family.

Unlike the low-level magic weapon of the "Nine Dragons Golden Crow", the puppet technique is not only complicated, but it is also very expensive to create a puppet for personal use, so only the descendants of the Chen family are eligible to practice.

Obviously, Lu Ping'an was too happy before, and instead of avoiding the eyes and ears of the Chen family's killer this time, he encountered a more powerful opponent.

"Lu Ping'an, you and I know it well, why bother talking this nonsense? The biggest advantage of puppetry is that there is no need for the puppeteer to fight in close quarters in person, since I have the advantage of being in the dark, why should I expose my position?"

The killer hiding in the shadows transmits his voice through the puppet wire, and his timbre changes, making it impossible to identify him even if he is present.

"Okay, then I'll destroy your living corpse puppet first!"

Lu Ping'an pursed his lips and sneered, and as soon as the words fell, the Xuanjie flying sword appeared in his hand, and at the same time, with the mule cart as the center, he ran quickly.

"Hugh away!"

At the same time as Lu Ping'an started, the living corpse puppet made from the corpse of the hawker also moved. What is amazing is that although it is a puppet made improvly, its speed is not inferior to Lu Ping'an.

After a few breaths, the living corpse puppet rushed to Lu Ping'an's approach and punched him straight to the heart.

After all, the vendor who was made into a puppet was an ordinary person, and his physical strength was far inferior to that of a cultivator, Lu Ping'an unhurriedly adjusted the spiritual energy in the collective, attached to the surface of the furious battle thorn armor, and chose to resist with his physical body.

The sound of bones shattering was heard. Under Lu Ping'an's double defense, the attack of the living corpse puppet had no effect, and the arm bones of the entire arm were shattered, leaving only the flesh and skin connected.

"Heh..."

Lu Ping'an was puzzled by the weakness of the living corpse puppet in front of him, but at this moment, a snickering sound suddenly came through the puppet line.

Immediately after, the body of the living corpse puppet began to swell rapidly, like a candy blower.

"It's broken!"

Sensing that there was a spell in the body of the living corpse puppet, Lu Ping'an was alarmed, and hurriedly raised his arm to protect his head and face, and at the same time flew up and kicked on the lower abdomen of the living corpse puppet, and jumped backwards with his strength.

Rumble!

The Thunderbolt Scroll hidden in the body of the living corpse puppet activated, and the huge impact instantly blasted the puppet's body into minced flesh. Lu Ping'an was also swept away by the air waves, like a kite with a broken string falling more than a dozen zhang away, and his life and death were unknown.

"Hahahaha! What about the Xuanjie high-grade bloodline? It's not dead in my hands. ”

The puppet line that had previously connected and manipulated the peddler's body slowly shortened and recovered, and finally disappeared into a pile of fruit on the mule cart, and with a smug smile, a man hiding inside crawled out.

The killer who attacked Lu Ping'an was none other than Chen Hao, the eldest son of the current head of the Chen family, and the favorite to win the championship this time!

In fact, as early as when Lu Ping'an walked out of the gate of the Lu Mansion, his whereabouts had already been mastered by the people of the Chen family.

As the descendants of the border sentry commanders of the Cangwu Kingdom, simple disguise cannot avoid their ears and eyes.

Yesterday's assassination failure made Chen Hao more and more jealous of Lu Ping'an, so he decided to take matters into his own hands this time.

And with Chen Hao's skills, it was easy to hide on the mule cart when the fruit vendor was not paying attention.

"Chen Hao, didn't you buy a fake spell scroll, just this little power?"

Chen Hao was immersed in the pleasure of getting rid of hidden dangers, and he didn't want to think that at this time, Lu Ping'an, who should have been killed, actually stood up again, although there were many wounds on his body, but it was not fatal.

"What! you...... What kind of means did you use?" Chen Hao almost couldn't believe his eyes.

He hid in the Thunder Burst Scroll in the corpse of the fruit vendor, sealing the thunder attribute spell that was fully performed by a cultivator of the True Martial Realm Fivefold, and it was impossible for a cultivator of the Martial Dao Realm to resist.

Because of this, Chen Hao deliberately waited until Lu Ping'an ran away, and then manipulated the living corpse puppet to carry out suicide attacks, so as not to affect himself.

"Hehe, instead of dwelling on this issue, you better care about yourself first. ”

The corners of Lu Ping'an's mouth rose, and he opened his hands towards Chen Hao, and saw that the Xuanjie flying sword had disappeared at some point.

As his words fell, above Chen Hao's head, the sword roared suddenly!

The flying sword was wrapped in a ten-foot-long sword qi and fell straight down.

It turned out that before Lu Ping'an began to circle the mule cart and run quickly, he had already thrown the flying sword in his hand into the air.

Due to his narrow field of vision and his attention being attracted by the fast-moving Lu Ping'an, Chen Hao did not notice the flying sword that shot at the mule cart with a parabolic trajectory.

In the end, when Chen Hao realized that Lu Ping'an's dark chess move, the mule cart under his feet had been cut in two by the sword qi.

If he hadn't crawled out of the pile of fruits he was hiding in pride, he would probably have been cut in half by now.

Chen Hao froze in place, cold sweat soaking his back.

He never thought that his self, who had cultivated to the ninth level of the Martial Arts Realm, would almost die at the hands of Lu Ping'an, who was only the sixth level of the Martial Arts Realm.

This is a great shame for Chen Hao, who has been crowned a genius since he was a child and has never tasted defeat in peer competition!
