wasn't that of a poor person or a bumpkin. People looked at him with disdain or mocking smiles, keeping a safe distance from him as if afraid Chen Ping would infect them with poverty."Hey, country bu...“He is under my protection, leave at once, or I'll show you no mercy!”

A metallic voice, like that of an electronic sound, came out from the shadow's mouth, giving off the feeling of a machine.

"Hmph, is that all you've got"

The woman across from him let out a cold snort, her face full of disdain as she spoke.

As soon as the words left her lips, her long sword danced again. But this time, her target was no longer Chen Ping'an, but the shadow standing in front of him.

Only by killing the shadow before you can you kill Chen Ping'an.

Even the shadow didn't waste words, gripping a flying knife and charging forward. The two of them engaged in a fierce battle.

To Chen Ping'an's surprise, the two of them were evenly matched, their fight going on and on.

Before, a shadow had always been following him. He sensed it when he was at the Si Hai Group and guessed that the shadow was Gao Weiwei arranging someone to protect him secretly, after all, she asked him to take over the Si Hai Demon King Order.

So when the woman lunged with her sword, he remained motionless, waiting to see if Gao Weiwei's hidden expert would appear and save him.

Of course, he wasn't putting his own life on the line for the experiment. He had enough confidence that if the shadow didn't appear, he could dodge the fatal strike in the shortest amount of time and capture the opponent alive.

Chen Pingan just stood there watching the two of them fight, with absolutely no intention of trying to break it up.

After fighting for about ten minutes, each person struck the other's shoulder with a palm strike. Both simultaneously spat blood and retreated explosively.

Both sides were evenly matched.

"Shadow, you ruined my plans. I won't let you get away with this. Just wait for me!"

After getting hurt, the woman realized she couldn't take advantage of the shadow and with Chen Pingan watching her closely, she spat a harsh remark and ran away.

After seeing the other person truly run away, he once again vanished into the darkness.

He had never spoken a word to Chen Pingan from beginning to end.

Although Chen Ping'an couldn't see the shadow, he could sense it gradually fading away.

It seems he probably thought that woman had run away, and since he was no longer in danger, he left to find a place to heal his wounds.

Chen Ping'an didn't hesitate at all, and immediately chased after that woman in the direction she was running.

He didn't seem to have any deep-seated grudges in Longcheng, so he needed to figure out why this woman was trying to kill him for no reason!

Chen Pingan chased for two blocks and caught up with a badly injured woman in an alley.

But as soon as he caught up to the other person, he discovered that they had an accomplice, an old man who looked at least sixty years old.

Seeing the woman and her accomplices gather, Chen Pingan concealed himself, wanting to hear what they had to say.

"Miss, are you hurt"

Seeing the woman clutching her shoulder and looking pained, the old man was taken aback and asked in surprise.

"Well, that kid actually had a shadow protecting him in the dark. I fought the shadow, and we both ended up badly hurt!"

"By the way, Uncle Zhong, didn't you say that boy killed Chen Changsheng and Wu Shengjie"

"That shadow is Chen Changsheng's personal bodyguard. How could the shadow secretly protect him"

The woman took off the mask from her face, revealing a stunningly beautiful visage with an alluring charm. She looked at the old man with a puzzled expression and asked,

"Miss, let me help you back first and then we can talk!"

The old man did not answer the woman's question, but instead went over to help her up and offered her a cigarette.

The woman had no defenses against the old man, she took the cigarette after he offered it and lit it right away, taking a long drag.

Not long after, the woman felt her body gradually grow soft and weak all over.

"Uncle Zhong, I suddenly feel all my strength draining away!"

The woman raised her head and, looking at the kind-faced elder standing before her, spoke with difficulty.

"Hehehe, that's because the young master put qinyin hehuan powder in your cigarette. After inhaling it, you'll first become powerless throughout your body, and then slowly become silvery white. Even a strong woman will turn into a wanton woman, unable to resist being intimate with men!"

"In a while, young master will help you detoxify. The process will be very comfortable, and afterward, you'll definitely thank Uncle Zhong for me!"

The old man let out a dry chuckle and said to the woman in a sinister voice.

Seeing the usually kind Uncle Zhong suddenly change his expression, the woman realized what was happening and immediately dropped her cigarette. With lightning speed, she clamped her hands around Uncle Zhong's neck.

"Why did you betray me"

Whom do you mean by "young master"

The woman tried her best to remain calm, putting on a facade of nonchalance, and asked in a menacing tone.

Uncle Zhong never expected that the opponent, after being hit by the Qinyin Hehuan Powder, would still possess such power. He suddenly felt a sense of suffocation and struggled instinctively.

To survive, the old man pulled a knife from his bosom and plunged it viciously into the woman's belly.

Blood instantly stained her clothes red. The woman let go of the elder and he fell to the ground.

Even Chen Ping'an, who was hiding in the shadows, was stunned by this scene!hu and Liang families are actually inferior to the Lu family. Therefore, the Liang and Zhu families get along better and are considered allies against the Lu family. The banquet organized by the eldes...
