In the blink of an eye, five days had passed since the end of the beast tide.

The city of Tongning was in turmoil.

A civil war broke out in the Demon Slayer Society, and several vice presidents fought for power, and sought support from all over the place.

The matter of the new city lord has not yet been decided.

But there are many people who are eyeing that position, and they are actively using their connections to lobby and send money to the imperial court.

And in a sense, the master and apprentice who indirectly caused these turmoil stayed in Yanxia Villa without caring about themselves.

On the surface, Yan Laoba's injuries seemed to be almost better, and he was lying on the chair drinking leisurely at this time.

Lu Ping'an sat opposite, and after being silent for a long time, he asked, "Master, what are your plans in the future?"

Yan Laoba's purpose of coming to Tongning City has been accomplished, but with his character, he really doesn't know where he will go next.

Actually, Yan Laoba hadn't thought about it at all, but he still heard the strangeness of Lu Ping'an's words.

"What do you mean I have in mind? Even if you really want to know, shouldn't you ask where we're going? Or ...... You don't want to be a teacher anymore?"

Lu Ping'an hurriedly shook his head and said, "Of course not, I just want to ask Master, are you interested in going to Luotiancheng for a while?" I heard that there are also a lot of fine wines there......

Yan Laoba said: "Cangwu Imperial City, before I went to your Wanqiu City, I stayed there for a few months, and almost all the good wine in the city was drunk by me, what else can I be interested in?

Lu Ping'an smiled bitterly and said, "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you, Master." ”

Then, Lu Ping'an told Yan Laoba about the agreement with Hu Ling.

Yan Laoba laughed and said, "Good boy, it's a bit promising, you actually hooked up with the princess of Cangwu Kingdom?" But what happened to you and that little girl named Jiang Yuebai? Although he was also very romantic back then, he never stepped on two boats, you can't ...... it."

Lu Ping'an interrupted: "Master, both of them and I are simple friends, how can they change their taste when they come out of your mouth?"

Yan Laoba said: "Hehe, now it's a friend, maybe it will be in the future." However, the amphibious association, as a teacher, has also heard of it, to put it bluntly, it is a competition to recruit horses...... Well, I know you're fake, but if I'm not mistaken, wasn't that thing going to take place more than a year later?"

Lu Ping'an said: "It was indeed like this before, but I received the news yesterday, and for some reason it was changed in advance, and it was changed to three months later." ”

Yan Lao Badao: "I see, what a big deal, if you want to go, you can go." ”

Lu Ping'an asked, "Then Master, ...... you?"

Yan Laoba said: "What's the matter? Are you still worried about becoming a teacher? You better hurry up and cultivate, don't fail to complete the agreement with the little girl at that time, then it will be a shame." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "With your strength, Master, where can I worry?" That disciple decided this matter first and set off in a month. ”

Yan Laoba nodded and said, "Well, it's indeed a good choice to go over and prepare in advance, after all, what you have to face is not only those opponents who go to participate in the Amphibious Society, the emperor's daughter is not so easy to marry." ”

Lu Ping'an naturally knew that this matter was not so simple, but the premise of everything was to win the Amphibious Association first.

According to Hu Ling's statement at the time, she will have her own arrangements at that time, and Lu Ping'an only needs to complete the agreement.

As for why Lu Ping'an wanted to stay in Tongning City for an extra month, on the one hand, he wanted to cultivate the autumn and winter sword moves at least to the beginning.

With Yan Laoba by his side, he can give some pointers, and when he arrives in the imperial capital, he may not have such a good cultivation environment.

On the other hand, Zhao Shengrong was seriously injured last time, but he didn't die after all, so that life-and-death duel still has to go on as usual.

During this period, Lu Ping'an will improve his strength as soon as possible, but at the same time, Zhao Shengrong is also recuperating from his injury, and it is not yet known who will win and who will lose at that time.

On the same day, Lu Ping'an sent a battle letter to Zhao Shengrong to determine the time and place of the duel.

Zhao Shengrong quickly replied, only a few blood-red characters: In a month, you will die!

......

In the time that followed, Tongning City was still undecided.

And such a chaotic situation made people panic, causing the Iron Knife Gang to also start chaos.

Although Zhao Shengrong, who was recuperating from his injuries, came forward to forcibly suppress it several times, there were still many people who had different intentions.

The reason is very simple, Zhao Shengrong offended Ouyang Xia, and he will definitely have a hard time in the future.

So some people wanted to switch to other gangs, and some people wanted to take advantage of Zhao Shengrong's injury to bring him down, so as to protect the Iron Knife Gang.

But no matter how stormy it was outside, Lu Ping'an ignored it, and buried himself in penance every day.

However, due to the internal strife in the Iron Knife Gang, they had no time to take care of Lu Ping'an and the others, so they no longer needed to hide in the villa all the time.

In addition to fighting in the bucket square, sometimes they go to the Tongning Forest to hunt.

After unremitting efforts, Lu Ping'an finally upgraded the spring and summer swords to the Dacheng stage, and the autumn and winter swords have also been successfully introduced.

In terms of cultivation for the realm, he has made rapid progress, and in more than 20 days, he has reached the sevenfold peak of the True Martial Realm!

It stands to reason that the results of such a practice are already quite amazing.

But Lu Ping'an was still a little dissatisfied, because he was really not completely sure of using this strength to fight to the death with Zhao Shengrong.

Three days before the duel, the situation in Tongning City underwent some changes.

After a fierce struggle, the Demon Slayer Society finally split into two, and the other was named the Demon Hunting Society.

What is the name is not the point, the point is that the so-called three major forces will no longer exist, and only the two giants of Yanxia Villa and Wanrong Commercial Bank remain.

The new city owner has also been appointed, but it is said that the person who is jointly recognized by Ouyang Xia and the big shopkeeper of Wanrong Commercial Bank has a certain ability to govern.

This also means that the court of Dongyu State still has not made up its mind to completely control Tongning City.

Usually, the city lord may have a little right to speak, and if he really wants to encounter a major event that affects the whole city, it still depends on the meaning of the two giants.

As for the Iron Knife Gang, although Zhao Shengrong used iron-blooded and cruel means to eliminate all the "anti-thieves" in the gang, he was also greatly injured because of this.

But Zhao Shengrong won't care too much about these things for the time being, he just wants to kill Lu Ping'an.

In addition to avenging Zhao Tianhua, it is also for himself.

......

On the day of the decisive battle, Lu Ping'an and Zhao Shengrong, according to the agreement, came to a martial arts platform in Tongning City.

In addition, there were also a lot of onlookers, surrounded by a sea of people, and the water could not be passed.

With the status and strength of the two of them, they are not the top in Tongning City, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible to attract the attention of the whole city.

And the reason why this is so is because of Ouyang Xia.

People want to see what kind of person the young man who deserves to let Ouyang Xia fan people at the beginning.

Some people are curious about Lu Ping'an's appearance, but when they come to the scene, they don't feel like the little white face as rumored.

Some people are interested in his strength, a True Martial Realm dares to challenge the Yuan Martial Realm, either he is seeking his own death, or he has some outstanding ability.

Some people are still wondering if Lu Ping'an really loses, when he is about to die, will Ouyang Xia come to the rescue?

People come to see the excitement with different ideas.

Lu Ping'an never cared about the eyes of others, he just wanted to kill Zhao Shengrong, and it could be regarded as a decision on those things before.

On the competition platform, Lu Ping'an and Zhao Shengrong stood opposite each other, and there was no need for a referee, only life and death were used to determine the winner.

Zhao Shengrong glanced at the audience, then looked at Lu Ping'an and asked, "Where is that woman?"

Lu Ping'an put one hand behind his back, looking confident, and said, "You mean Sister Xia, she has no interest in fighting at our level." ”

Zhao Shengrong said: "If she didn't cover you with her skirt, then you would have died today! Of course, even if she was present, I believe she wouldn't dare, once she made a move in front of so many people, Yanxia Villa would not have any credibility in the future." ”

Lu Ping'an smiled: "You don't have to provoke me with such words, it doesn't make any sense, today I will use my strength to prove everything." ”

"What else do you want to prove? I'll kill you in just three moves, or do you want to use something like a hosta?"

Zhao Shengrong's understanding of Lu Ping'an was obviously still stuck on the day of the beast tide, when the two met.

Lu Ping'an summoned the willow sword and said, "Don't worry, I will only use this sword this time." Speaking of the cultivation realm, I heard that after you were seriously injured, your strength plummeted, and now you only have the strength of the True Martial Ninefold, is this true?"

At the mention of this, Zhao Shengrong's eyes suddenly widened, and he was furious, shouting: "Lu Ping'an! my righteous son was killed by you, my strength will become what it is now, and it was also plotted by you, I will let you repay these hatreds!"

With that, Zhao Shengrong showed his black machete, and spiritual power rushed out from his body.

Lu Ping'an felt that it was indeed a little weaker than before, but the realm was still in the Yuanwu Realm, which was equivalent to a super strong True Martial Nine.

"As I said, all the fate of you and Zhao Tianhua is self-inflicted, and this is a fact that will never change. Also, you're getting one thing wrong, the True Martial Arts, and I'm not anymore. ”

After Lu Ping'an finished speaking, he also released his spiritual power, showing his current cultivation realm in front of everyone.

"This can't be! A month ago, you were obviously still a true martial artist!"

After Zhao Shengrong felt it, he couldn't help but exclaim, just because Lu Ping'an's cultivation at this moment had actually reached ...... Masatake Yae!

Everyone around was in an uproar.

"Breaking the double realm in a month, this is too exaggerated, isn't it?"

"Genius! I didn't expect this kid to be a cultivation genius! No wonder Master Ouyang would value him so much!"

"This cultivation speed is too terrifying, even those famous disciples of the Great Gate Sect in the Dongyu Kingdom don't have this kind of speed!"

Even Guo Lanying and Shi Hao in the audience didn't know about this matter, and they were surprised by it.

Shi Hao couldn't help but ask, "Little Brother Lu, when you came, weren't you still a True Martial Sevenfold, when did you break through again?"

Lu Ping'an replied: "Just now, otherwise why do you think I talked so much nonsense with him?"

Everyone was shocked again, and they broke through the realm between talking and laughing? What kind of cultivation monster is this guy!

Zhao Shengrong shouted violently: "Even so, you still have to die!"

Lu Ping'an didn't say anything more, a sword thundered, and rushed forward!
