Chapter 56: The Ghost Assassin
In the days that followed, Lu Hao spent time in cultivation again, day after day, repeating cultivation every day, although boring, but very fulfilling.
After more than ten days of cultivation, Lu Hao had a new breakthrough.
The Shocking Dragon Sword Technique has finally reached the consummation realm, the Shadowless Step has also reached the fifth consummation realm, the concussive sword qi has also been cultivated to the Xiaocheng realm, and the savage energy has been cultivated to the second realm, which can increase Lu Hao's combat power by fifty percent.
It can be said that Lu Hao's strength has increased by two or three times.
And what made him most happy was that his cultivation had finally broken through and reached the True Qi Yuan Consummation, and he was only one step away from the True Yuan Realm.
After the fifteenth day of the first month, Lu Hao said goodbye to his father Lu Tianxing, and it was time for him to return to the Nanling Sword Sect.
"Hao'er, this time you went home to give your father a lot of surprises, and also rekindled my father's hope, now you have to make persistent efforts when you return to the Nanling Sword Sect, cultivate hard, pursue your dreams, and fulfill your father's wishes. Lu Tianxing said solemnly.
"Dad, why are you so sad. Lu Hao said.
"Hao'er, you have also seen the situation within the family, but no matter what, I will not abandon my family, so the Lu family will inevitably have several infighting, the seventh day of July this year is the election of the head of the family, there will inevitably be a dispute, and there is still half a year, your brother and I will seek all the strength that can be fought for during this time, and then let the Lu family stabilize, if it is successful, Hao'er, you can go back to the Lu family whenever you want, if it fails, ......" Saying this, Lu Tianxing stopped talking.
"Second brother, you just have to cultivate well in the Nanling Sword Sect, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the family, if my father and I really encounter misfortune in the future, when you are strong, you will avenge us. Lu Yun patted Lu Hao's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Dad, big brother, don't worry, on the seventh day of the seventh month, I will come back, and I will give you the greatest help. Lu Hao didn't speak, but said to himself in his heart that he was not a person who was used to putting promises on his lips.
......
The Chen family's mansion.
"Master Chen, why is this happening?" Lu Tiangang said.
"Alas, we all underestimated Lu Hao, this kid, sure enough, the big faction of the birth gate has an advantage, I and Chen Yunfei are not his opponents, Lu Hao can also stimulate sword energy, and it also has a concussive effect, it seems to be a secret skill, a family like ours must not have this special secret skill. The Chen family said.
"Then it seems that the plan fails, and the deal between us will be terminated. Lu Tiangang was very dissatisfied.
"Why is Manager Lu in such a hurry to make a conclusion, we now have common interests, you want to avenge your son, if you can't kill it, we can assassinate it." Chen Wanshan said with a gloomy smile.
"How to assassinate? Only an open and honest competition can be convincing, if it is an assassination, even if it is successful, it will completely anger Lu Tianxing, and Lu Hao is still a disciple of the Nanling Sword Sect, if he dies unexpectedly, you and I will not be able to escape death!"
"Manager Lu, what you said is true, but I didn't say that we must do it ourselves, don't worry, I already have a plan for this matter, as long as Lu Hao leaves the Lu family and returns to the Nanling Sword Sect, I can leave his life behind. Chen Wanshan said with a smile.
"Well, if your plan is really successful, then our deal can continue, otherwise we will be interviewed. Lu Tiangang also said.
......
Tang Family Mansion.
"Daughter, you have tested that Lu Hao, what is it?" Tang Yuanyang asked.
"I can't see through him, it gives people a sense of uncertainty, unlike his brother Lu Yun, I also seduced him, but he directly rejected it, and Lu Hao not only did not refuse, but was very affectionate to me, but with my intuition, he should be a strong-willed person, so it's hard to say. Tang Yanran explained.
"Alas, daughter, it's really hard for you, the Tang family has to rely on you to mediate all the time. Tang Yuanyang said with a guilty face.
"It's okay, Dad, I'm doing all this for the Tang family, our Tang family is weak, and we can only rely on the Chen family, but the Chen family also has ambitions for our Tang family, so we can only bet on both ends, it is best to have a big battle between the two Lu and Chen families, and our Tang family will take the opportunity to rise, but this possibility is very small, no matter who is the ultimate winner of the Lu and Chen families, our Tang family is just a vassal. ”
"Now Lu Xuan has been fascinated by me, and has been encouraging his father to seek the position of the head of the Lu family, there will definitely be a turmoil in the Lu family in the future, Chen Yunfei is also dead set on me, and wants to marry me, as long as these two people are well controlled, we still have a chance." A hint of ambition flashed in Tang Yanran's eyes.
"Okay, daughter, my father will definitely support you, and the Tang family will be the first family in Dragon Elephant City in the future!"
......
The sixteenth day of the first month.
Lu Hao officially bid farewell to the Lu family and set off to return to the Nanling Sword Sect.
Looking at the back of Lu Hao's departure, Lu Yun couldn't help but speak.
"Dad, have you noticed that the second brother seems to have changed since he came back from the Nanling Sword Sect, I don't mean that his physical qualifications have improved, but his personality and behavior seem to have changed a lot, as if he is not the second brother before. Lu Yun was a little puzzled.
Lu Tianxing's eyes were deep and flashing with light, and he took a deep breath and said: "Yun'er, you have to remember that no matter what Hao'er becomes, he will always be my Lu Tianxing's son, and his body has my Lu Tianxing's blood flowing, just remember this." ”
Lu Yun was stunned and said, "Yes, Dad, I understand." ”
Lu Hao rode the brown feather horse all the way to the direction of the Nanling Sword Sect.
Passing by a post station, Lu Hao stopped, drank tea, and rested for a while.
"Hey, did you hear that? Ghost Assassins have reappeared recently?"
"You mean that ghost swordsman who came and went without a trace and killed people invisible? Isn't he wanted by the Nanling Sword Sect?"
"It's him, he is indeed wanted by the Nanling Sword Sect, but his light skills are very good, like a ghost, several inner disciples of the Nanling Sword Sect have died at his hands, so he is a master of art and bold, and he has appeared around here again. ”
"So, the Ghost Assassin must have a new target, and I don't know who is so unlucky to be targeted by him. ”
"Yes, it is said that the ghost shadow swordsman inherited the sword of the king of Hades, Yan Guanxi, this person's swordsmanship is extremely domineering, and the murderous aura is very heavy, and Yan Guanxi is only one step away from stepping into the innate realm, with such a master behind his back, this ghost shadow swordsman is naturally unscrupulous, and I don't know who is going to be unlucky. ”
"It's better to have a good backer than anything else, if there is no Hades Sword, the Ghost Assassin will not be so famous, and he is just an ordinary reckless. ”
"Alas, if only we had this ability, it would be easier to eat. ”
Next to Lu Hao, there were two middle-aged men drinking tea and talking.
At this time, a young man in black walked slowly from the northern road, he looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed in black, with a pitch-black sword pinned to his waist, black hair scattered on both sides, covering half of his face, and a slight evil smile on the corner of his mouth, giving people a cold feeling.
The young man in black walked up to the two middle-aged men and stared at the two of them, which was creepy.
One of the big men stood up and shouted, "You kid, look at what the Sprinkle family is doing, look at it again, and gouge out your eyeballs." ”
Another big man also said: "I don't know what advice my brother Tai has, our enemies don't seem to know Your Excellency." ”
It turned out that these two people were the black and white heroes of the enemy family, and their cultivation was not weak, they had reached the True Yuan Realm, and they were well-known in the vicinity.
However, the young man in black did not move at all, and his mouth moved slightly: "I heard someone talking about me just now, so I will take a look at who it is." ”
"You're the Ghost Assassin!" the faces of the two middle-aged men suddenly changed.
"It's down there. The young man in black said, "Just now you said that without my master, I would be nothing, so now I will prove whether I can gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes without relying on my master and relying on my own sword alone." ”
"You're going to kill us?" said one of the big men.
"You are also a little famous in the rivers and lakes, let's make a move, let you make three moves, and after three moves, I will take your life. The ghost assassin's face darkened, and an invisible murderous aura suddenly revealed.
"Big brother, fight with him!"
"Hmph, ghost assassin, you are too arrogant, if you assassinate in secret, maybe the two of us brothers will be afraid of you, but now in the open, we are not afraid of you, second brother, do it!"
As he spoke, the two big men moved at the same time, one left and one right, and launched the most violent attack.
The big man on the left swung his fists, and the fists smashed like a wave, enveloping the ghost assassin for three meters around.
The big man on the right, raising his feet and kicking his legs, was as fast as lightning, and his overwhelming legs attacked the ghost assassin like a gust of wind.
The Black and White Heroes have used all their life's learning to kill the Ghost Assassin.
The true element in the black and white male body rioted, and the fist and leg strength poured out, bursting out with bursts of explosions, and the tables and chairs around were all shattered, and then the ghost assassin who faced this attack was like a ghost wandering back and forth under the crazy attack of the two, no matter how fierce the attack of the two was, he dodged with ease, and did not hurt half a point at all.
"Three moves have passed, die!" The ghost assassin suddenly drew his sword, only to see the sword in his hand flash and return to his sheath.
Poof!
The black and white males' bodies seemed to freeze, motionless, only to see a bloody hole between their throats, which continued to bleed, and then the two of them fell together.
As if he had done something insignificant, the ghost assassin no longer glanced at the two of them, but turned his head and stared at Lu Hao.
It was the first time Lu Hao had seen this kind of scene in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't agree with each other and killed each other.
However, he was not a nosy man, so he threw the tea money to the innkeeper who was hiding in the corner and shivering, and prepared to leave.
"Don't go, it's your turn. The ghost assassin suddenly said coldly.
