"Is it her beauty, her family background, or perhaps the destiny you mentioned?"
As Xu Hongzhu mentioned beauty, she straightened up, the slightly bold design of the Hanfu she wore brought out a gentle and yet fiery sexy aura on her.
Lin Beichen believed that with just a flick of his finger, Xu Hongzhu would rush into his bed.
However, Lin Beichen remained indifferent, watching Xu Hongzhu’s performance calmly, as if watching a clown.
How could Xu Hongzhu, a mere mortal, comprehend his thoughts.
If he truly coveted beauty, the transformed Zhao Weinan could be considered a human elf.
Zhao Weinan’s body had been transformed into one that was filled with Spiritual Qi, a true fairy-like physique, and even she did not interest him, let alone Xu Hongzhu?
In this world, there were many things that interested him, but they certainly did not include so-called emotions or desires.
At this moment, a white-haired elder approached the pavilion, bowed his head respectfully, and said:
"Miss, the subordinates are ready."
Xu Hongzhu waved her hand, the elder slowly withdrew to the side, vigilantly watching Lin Beichen.
The elder’s aura was extraordinary, his Cultivation at Grandmaster Level, yet in front of Xu Hongzhu, he was merely a loyal servant.
If placed outside, this person would likely be a powerful figure, holding countless resources in his hands, capable of deciding the life and death of thousands, but in front of Xu Hongzhu, he was just an obedient lackey.
"Mr. Lin, have you ever heard of this saying?
A common man’s rage can reach ten paces; a noble man’s body lies in the ancestral hall, never risking himself!"
Xu Hongzhu said softly with a smile, the allure and temptation in her eyes gradually fading, leaving only a hint of killing intent.
With just a wave of her hand, she could summon ten times or even a hundred times more assassins to easily contain Lin Beichen.
As if to confirm her words, the sound of wind rustling through the bamboo grove surrounded them.
Countless bamboo leaves fell, and in the bamboo grove, cold glimmers appeared.
Swish, swish, swish!
The sound of blades coming together echoed through the courtyard.
Men dressed in black robes, holding gleaming blades, slowly stepped out of the bamboo grove, staring coldly at Lin Beichen, as if looking at a defenseless pheasant.
These were assassins nurtured by the Xu family.
"Do they think they can kill me with these guys?"
Lin Beichen leaned lazily against the railing and said casually.
There were probably nearly a hundred of these assassins, each likely to have blood on their hands, capable of fending off the special training team at any gymnasium.
But relying on these people to encircle and kill Lin Beichen was even more ridiculous than wishful thinking.
Lin Beichen didn’t need to lift a finger. Even the deceased Zhao Tianjie alone could handle these people effortlessly.
Masters beyond the peak were already at the pinnacle of human prowess; ordinary weapons couldn’t touch them at all.
"Relying on these men alone surely isn’t enough against you. Since I know your background, how could I disgrace myself before you?"
Xu Hongzhu chuckled, clapping her hands. Suddenly, five enormous diamond boxes floated up from the pond.
The surface of the diamond boxes was covered with various scientific instruments. Lin Beichen took a glance, his brows furrowed.
His perception was blocked by these boxes, and from their appearance, there was not even a single gap, not even for air to pass through.
If someone was locked inside, they’d probably suffocate in no time.
This method was quite clever. Although it blocked the air, it also blocked perception, making it impossible for Lin Beichen to sense.
Since the Celestial Gate opened, Lin Beichen hadn’t paid attention to the martial world for some time. It seemed that during his recuperation, someone had developed perception and corresponding methods.
As he pondered, the diamond boxes slowly opened, and as the instruments activated, a turbid breath emanated, revealing the five individuals within.
The five exuded powerful auras, each a hundred times stronger than the assassins, their eyes shone brightly, and their physiques were broad.
Among them, two had reached peak Cultivation, while the remaining three, though not at the peak, had greatly advanced in their Cultivation Techniques.
"These people are disciples of my father, they’ve grown up in my home since childhood, though their Cultivation is not high, they are proficient in a Buddhist Array, the True Buddha Demon Suppression Array!
With this array, even masters beyond the peak would not be their match!"
Hearing this, Lin Beichen’s lips curled into a faint smile.
Interesting.
He had been in the North for a long time, whether battling Zhongcheng Hall or Qin Wenwu, they were northern forces.
Lin Beichen naturally had curiosity about the South.
The Dragon Country was vast, its land expansive beyond imagination, many born within it had little concept of its magnitude, always unconsciously thinking of other nations as equivalent in size.
What they failed to realize was that whether it was Western Europe or those few smaller countries seeking prominence in recent years, adding them all together and then doubling, would roughly equate to Dragon Country’s land area.
In total, these nations numbered over thirty.
The land of Dragon Country had retained its heritage for thousands of years. Stepping out of one province was like entering another country.
One province, with thousands of years of development, held countless heritages.
Lin Beichen had never underestimated the world’s heroes.
However, for Xu Hongzhu to think these five random practitioners could kill him was laughable!
"Mr. Lin, you are renowned, combating only peak or greater masters, my father’s few disciples certainly wouldn’t catch your eye."
Before Lin Beichen could speak, Xu Hongzhu continued, a sly smile on her lips.
Among the five men, one tall master showed anger but did not retort.
They knew their limited talent couldn’t best Lin Beichen, there was no need to say more.
The martial world had many who boasted, but in real combat, lip service paled before true skill.
The Xu family had thoroughly investigated the northern masters Lin Beichen had fought.
These five had been submerged, fully aware they couldn’t defeat Lin Beichen.
"I anticipated this, so I arranged for ten snipers to aim from high positions. I heard Mr. Lin once faced dozens of elite assassins without fear, let’s see if you can escape death today?"
Xu Hongzhu said with a growing smile.
"Mr. Lin, I must remind you that my snipers are equipped not with ordinary rifles, but anti-material armor-piercing rifles capable of tearing through tank armor weighing tens of tons."
Xu Hongzhu’s smile became increasingly sinister. Her true killing move was now revealed.
First utilizing assassins to reduce Lin Beichen’s guard, then presenting five inconspicuous masters as a shield, finally deploying ten snipers who could block perception.
These ten snipers were her ultimate killing move.
With a wave of Xu Hongzhu’s hand, ten gleaming points surrounded Lin Beichen from top to bottom.
The head, neck, heart, liver, kidneys, and even Lin Beichen’s lower body.
All of Lin Beichen’s vital points were targeted by the snipers.
This was the essence of a killing move; one moment spring breeze, the next cold wind biting.
Even the greatest of masters would struggle facing a threefold entrapment.
Even a master like Zhao Tianjie, beyond the peak, would be captured in this trap despite any resistance.
"Xu Hongzhu, what exactly do you want to say?"
Lin Beichen frowned, seemingly subdued, ready to negotiate for his life.
Seeing this, Xu Hongzhu’s smile grew wider.
This Lin Beichen, renowned in the North, wasn’t as fearsome as they said.
It only took a little scheming to trap him.
What fame and prestige, just inflated reputation.
Now in the South, her domain, he was at her mercy, wasn’t he?
