"Go, kill him."

"Ah!!"

Li Tianming was about to say something when he met Lu Ren's eerie gaze, a look that said "If you dare to back down, I'll destroy you."

He stiffened his neck: "Don't worry, teacher, if the master needs it, the disciple will do the work. I will perform well."

Seeing Li Tianming's composed demeanor, Lu Ren nodded slightly and rarely reached out to pat Li Tianming's shoulder, praising, "Good boy, I haven't misjudged you."

Li Tianming forced a smile, uglier than crying: "Rest assured, teacher, I absolutely won't let you down."

Seeing Lu Chenggong and his subordinates slowly approaching the edge, Li Tianming took a deep breath, put on a silk scarf to cover his face, and dexterously revealed a dagger he took from his arms. He slightly crouched his waist and awkwardly performed the Phoenix Unification Fist technique, his figure darting out like a rabbit.

Before he got within three meters of Lu Chenggong, he was first spotted by a subordinate and was fiercely kicked away, rolling back into the alley.

Lu Chenggong looked surprised, he knew he had offended many people, but never expected someone would dare attempt an assassination in broad daylight.

"Go and check."

He took the lead and walked into the dark alley.

The guards around didn't mind, the guy earlier only practiced fighting for a few days, completely unworthy of concern, letting Lu Chenggong play wouldn't cause harm.

Like such sudden knife-wielding attacks, killing others is defensible.

Lu Chenggong had just taken a step into the alley when a person suddenly darted in, followed by a noisy disturbance.

The guards looked at each other, since when did Lu Chenggong become so decisive?

Among them, the guard who was a bit smarter suddenly changed his expression.

"Not good!"

He immediately drew his long knife and dashed into the alley.

Following, there was a series of cringe-inducing bone-crunching sounds, followed by silence.

At once, a chill of horror rose in everyone's hearts.

Could they have encountered some bizarre evil?!

Although the Great Qian Yang Membrane is very profound, being rooted in the Underworld, some eeriness and evil indeed spawn; even in the highly populated Juliu City, it's not unprecedented, a noble lineage once perished due to a woman.

They looked at each other, halting their bodies from proceeding, their scalps tingling as they slowly retreated.

"If we run away, our family will suffer."

Someone suddenly whispered, causing the remaining five to freeze.

"Hey, haven't we committed enough sins already? To accompany Lu Chenggong in death, we've enjoyed enough fortune."

One among them chuckled, then boldly drew his knife and charged in first.

Finally, with a resolve to face death, they surged into the alley.

Lu Ren swung his fist, watching a guard stagger, with his hand and foot already broken by him. Seeing the other not retreat a step, still trembling, staring at him with a determined look.

Not bad.

Lu Ren nodded slightly and said to Li Tianming who was rubbing his stomach, "Go, kill him."

Li Tianming was startled: "Ah, oh, okay."

He swallowed as he faced the bloody, ferocious-looking guard.

But he still forced himself to walk up to the only living guard.

Lu Ren said indifferently, "If you beat him, I'll spare your life."

The guard's desperate yet fierce gaze suddenly brightened, even though he was clear they wouldn't spare him, he couldn't ignore this slight chance.

He stared ferociously at Li Tianming, like a wolf at the end, ready for a fight.

Li Tianming was actually stunned by him, becoming momentarily flustered.

Lu Ren said indifferently, "If you don't kill him, I will kill you."

As a modern young person of the new world, Li Tianming had been in the Underworld for three years, despite many tragic encounters, his heart hadn't extinguished the teachings of the new era, moral.

Killing... honestly, he hadn't even killed a chicken since childhood.

"Throw away your dagger, use your learned Phoenix Unification Fist, I'll give you three seconds, three, two, one."

Li Tianming suddenly yelled, rushing at the guard.

Lu Ren watched, shaking his head slightly, Li Tianming had practiced for three or four months, but once he got heated, he'd lose the technique.

A rookie's common flaw.

Unlike him, the systematic evaluation of fists' stages, as if ingrained in his bones, allowing the current best fist technique to manifest naturally.

In this aspect, he surpassed most Martial Arts families.

Therefore, Lu Ren didn't expect Li Tianming to do better.

The intensely pressured and somewhat confused Li Tianming charged head-on, only to be easily countered by the guard, his fist knocking Li Tianming away.

Li Tianming staggered and fell to the ground immediately.

Seeing this, Lu Ren said indifferently, "You have three minutes left, to be a skilled Fist Technique master, you need to maintain rationality at all times. Even in full rage, to fully exert combat power, you need enough rationality. If anger, fear, and madness drown out reason, no matter how advanced your Fist Technique, it's but a mindless strong beast."

Li Tianming breathed heavily, forcibly calming down, though still a bit breathless, his punches and moves started to have structure.

In less than two minutes, Li Tianming managed to kill the guard using the Phoenix Unification Fist and agile maneuvers.

Sweating coldly, Li Tianming wasn't able to process any emotion before being swiftly taken away by Lu Ren.

Back in the courtyard, Lu Ren casually threw Li Tianming into the yard, returned to his room and took out a Scroll Scripture found in Lu Chenggong's arms.

To Lu Ren's great surprise, this was actually the upper map he'd previously obtained, leading to the upper part of the Human King's Tomb.

This meant he now had the upper and middle map route.

From Juliu City, a direct route to the middle of the Underworld.

Why did Lu Chenggong have this map?

...

...

"Dead?"

In the shadowy alley, a tall man dressed in black, blending into the night, coldly stared at Lu Chenggong, whose neck was twisted 480 degrees and lay dead.

"Someone beat us to it."

An adjacent man of thin build was staring rigidly, his face extremely pale, appearing unnervingly morbid in the moonlight.

His expression was extremely somber.
