Lin Qing opened the door and walked towards Chen He. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his palm was placed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to strike at any time.

Lin Qing's arrival did not attract anyone's attention.

When they were not far from Chen He, a man muttered to himself, "Brother Chu, you're early." After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but raise his head and unconsciously frown.

The image of Brother Chu in his mind was different from the one in front of him. Moreover, why was Brother Chu lowering his head today?

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, the man couldn't help but yell, "Stop!"

His shout had also woken up other people, including Chen He.

Lin Qing sighed in her heart. She never expected that this person would be so vigilant. However, at this point, it could be considered that he had completed his original plans.

Ignoring the man's words, Lin Qing lowered her head and continued walking forward.

At this point, the man realized something was wrong and shouted, "There's an assassin!"

"You're courting death."

Lin Qing, who had her head lowered, suddenly opened her eyes upon hearing the man's words. The coldness of the words sent a chill down one's spine.

After she finished speaking, Lin Qing, who had left, suddenly took a step forward. Her body became like a phantom. With a "clang" sound, the sharp sword was unsheathed.

A streak of sword-light thundered down with peerless speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Although the man who had shouted "There's an assassin" was also a good martial artist, it would be difficult for him to block Lin Qing's sudden attack at such a close distance.

Although his reaction was extremely fast and he dodged Lin Qing's sword strike, his head was cut off by the following sword strike.

The head that was flying high up tumbled to the ground. Its eyes were wide open as if it never expected that it would fall just like that.

After killing this person, Lin Qing's silhouette flickered again. The next moment, she appeared not far behind Chen He, wielding her sword as she slashed out.

Although Lin Qing was quick, she wasted some time when she was killing the men and gave Chen He plenty of time to prepare.

Seeing Lin Qing slashing his sword down, Chen He had long since gripped his shiny sword and aimed it at his back.

"Clank."

A metallic sound rang out, accompanied by sparks.

Next was Chen He's staggering retreat. Because of this, he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Seeing that his fatal blow had been blocked by Chen He, Lin Qing's complexion turned unsightly.

With a step forwards, Lin Qing prepared to take advantage of her victory to chase after Qin Wentian.

But at this moment, the last person standing to protect Chen He also came to his senses. Seeing Lin Qing charge towards Chen He with a weapon in her hand, his expression changed greatly.

"Little prick, how dare you."

After he finished speaking, the tanned man lifted his large saber and dragged it along the ground as he dashed towards Lin Qing.

As the sword and saber collided with the ground, sparks flew everywhere and the man's footsteps became increasingly swift. When he was three steps away from Lin Qing, he had already reached the fastest speed possible.

Lin Qing, who originally wanted to take advantage of this victory to chase after Chen He, saw this man rushing over and could not help but frown.

Before Lin Qing could do anything else, the man had already let out a loud roar. The sound of rolling wind assaulted their ears, causing them to feel a sharp pain.

A saber howled forth, accompanied by the faint sound of thunder.

This strike contained the essence of the saber, precisely cutting off Lin Qing's steps in pursuit of Chen He.

Helpless, Lin Qing could only place the sword in her hand in front of her.

"Clang!"

A metallic sound rang out.

A talented warrior like Lin Qing, who was at the second level of the warrior realm, couldn't help but take half a step back when he was cut by this man.

The man's expression became more serious as his movements became faster and faster. The large saber in his hand moved faster and faster, slashing towards the fatal point on Lin Qing's body.

Upon seeing this, although Lin Qing had the intention to chase after Chen He, she had no choice but to finish him off. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to chase after Chen He.

With a cold snort, the coldness in the corners of Lin Qing's eyes grew even stronger.

Seeing this man fighting like a crazed beast with a blade as fast as the blade, Lin Qing sneered and purposely revealed an opening.

Sure enough, although this man was wary, he was still tricked by Lin Qing. Upon seeing Lin Qing being slashed with his saber, a "puchi" sound was heard.

All that was left behind was an afterimage, while Lin Qing's original body had long since disappeared from where she stood.

Seeing this, the man thought, "Not good." He quickly stopped attacking and looked around vigilantly.

Although the man was on guard, he was still a step behind. Lin Qing's silhouette floated as she appeared behind him.

Lin Qing's eyes were filled with killing intent. The man felt a chill coming from behind him, as if he was looking down at a natural enemy.

Unconsciously, the man thrust his saber behind him.

'Ding! 'a crisp sound was heard.

Lin Qing's sharp sword had cut into the man's broadsword.

Upon seeing this, Lin Qing's countenance grew even more sinister.

Although he did not kill the man with a single strike, the force from Lin Qing's sword was enough to make the man stagger backwards.

Lin Qing naturally would not miss this opportunity. His body moved like a blur as he slashed out with his sword again.

This time, although the man tried to resist, he could not keep up with the others' movements. He only saw a bright light before his eyes, and although it was bright, he felt as if the sky had turned darker and darker.

Finally, after a "Peng" sound, the man fell onto the ground without any reaction.

A slender sword mark appeared between the man's eyebrows. Blood flowed out from the wound.

After killing the old man with a single slash, Lin Qing hurriedly turned back and looked in Chen He's direction.

He saw that the place was empty, not a single shadow to be seen.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qing's expression turned gloomy as she thought to herself, "Not good."

He pushed off the ground with his feet and ran out of the room.

However, just as she was about to step out of the door, Lin Qing seemed to have seen something out of the ordinary and involuntarily halted her steps.

The gentle moonlight shone on Lin Qing's cold face, carrying a malevolence as vicious as blood.

The sword in his hand was even tighter.

Under the moonlight, there were already nearly a hundred men dressed in tight clothes standing quietly in the courtyard. A strong and vigorous aura was blowing towards one's face.

Chen He stood alone in front of the crowd, he had not been chased down by Lin Qing to the point where he almost fell to the ground. At this moment, he was dressed in white and held a Green Peak Treasure Sword in his hand.

"Lin Qing, for the sake of today's situation, I was acting as bait by myself. Who would have thought that you would actually be so impatient." Chen He laughed heartily. His laughter contained an unspeakable pride.

Lin Qing stood outside the door and observed the scene before him. How could he not know that he had been duped?

"You really cannot underestimate anyone. However, if you want my life, I'm afraid that it will disappoint you." In the face of such a situation, Lin Qing's expression remained calm, as if Mount Tai had collapsed right in front of her.
