In a blink of an eye, five days have passed since the end of the animal tide.

Tongning City is in chaos.

A civil war broke out in the Demon Slayer Society. In order to fight for power, several vice-chairmen fought hard and sought support everywhere.

The matter of the new city lord has not been settled yet.

However, many people are eyeing that position and are actively using their personal connections to lobby and send money to the court.

In a sense, the two masters and apprentices who indirectly caused these disturbances stayed in Haze Villa regardless of their own.

On the surface, Yan Laoba's injury seemed to be almost healed. At this time, he was lying on a chair and drinking.

Lu Pingan sat opposite, and after a long silence, he asked, "Master, what are your plans in the future?"

Old Yan's purpose of coming to Tongning City has been accomplished, but with his character, he really can't tell where he will go next.

In fact, Yan Laoba didn't think about it at all, but he still heard the strangeness of Lu Ping's words.

"What do you mean by my plans? Even if you really want to know, shouldn't you ask where we are going? Or... you don't want to follow as a teacher anymore?"

Lu Pingan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Of course not. I just want to ask Master if you are interested in staying in Luotian City for a while? I heard that there are also many fine wines..."

Old Yan said: "The Imperial City of Cangwu Kingdom? Before I went to your Wanqiu City, I stayed there for a few months. I drank almost all the good wine in the city. What else can I be interested in? What goes around is nothing more than you have something to do and you are going to Luotian City, right?"

Lu Pingan smiled bitterly and said, "Sure enough, I still can't hide from you, Master."

Then, Lu Pingan told Yan Laoba about the agreement he had made with Hu Ling.

Old Yan eight laughed, and said: "Good boy, I'm a little bit talented. You actually hooked up with the princess of Cangwu Kingdom? But what happened to you and that little girl named Jiang Yuebai? Although it is also very romantic, but you never do things like two boats, you can't..."

Lu Ping'an interrupted: "Master, I and them are pure friends. How can it change from your mouth?"

Old Yan said: "Hey, I'm a friend now, maybe in the future. However, I've heard of that squad club as a teacher. To put it bluntly, it's a contest and recruiting soldiers... Well, I know you are fake. , But if I remember correctly, isn't it just over a year later?"

Lu Pingan said: "It was true before, but I received the news yesterday. I don't know why it was earlier, and it was changed to three months later."

Old Yan said: "That's it, what a big deal, just go."

Lu Pingan asked: "Then Master, you..."

Old Yan said: "Why? Are you still worried about coming to be a teacher? You should hurry up and practice. Don't finish the agreement with the little girl at that time. That would be embarrassing."

Lu Pingan said, "With your strength, Master, why should I worry about it? The disciple decided this matter first and set off in a month."

Elder Yan nodded and said, "Well, go ahead and prepare for it. It is indeed a good choice. After all, what you have to face is not just the opponents who are going to participate in the amphibious club, the emperor’s daughter. It’s not that good. Married."

Lu Ping'an naturally knew that this matter was not that simple, but the premise of everything was that he would win the amphibious first.

According to Hu Ling's statement at the time, she had her own arrangements by then, and Lu Ping'an only had to complete the agreement.

As for why Lu Pingan wanted to stay in Tongning City for one more month, on the one hand, he wanted to use the autumn and winter swordsmanship, at least to practice.

With Yan Laoba by his side, you can give some pointers, and when you get to the imperial capital, you may not have such a good cultivation environment.

On the other hand, Zhao Shengrong was seriously injured last time, but he did not die after all, so the life-and-death duel must continue as usual.

During this period, Lu Pingan will improve his strength as soon as possible, but at the same time Zhao Shengrong is recuperating from his injuries. It is not yet known who will win by then.

On the same day, Lu Pingan sent Zhao Shengrong a war note to determine the time and place of the duel.

Zhao Shengrong quickly replied, with only a few blood-red characters: One month later, you will die!

...

In the following period, Tongning City remained undecided.

And this chaotic situation made people panic, causing the Iron Knife Gang to start chaos.

Although Zhao Shengrong, who was recovering from his wounds, came forward and forcibly suppressed a few times, many of them were still unhappy in their lives.

The reason is simple. Zhao Shengrong offended Ouyang Xia, and the future will definitely be difficult.

So some people want to switch to other gangs, and some people want to take advantage of Zhao Shengrong's injury and bring him down, in order to preserve the Iron Sword Gang.

But no matter how ups and downs outside, Lu Ping'an didn't pay attention to it, and he kept his head in painstaking practice every day.

However, due to the internal strife of the Iron Knife Gang, there was no time to take care of the three of Lu Pingan, so they no longer needed to hide in the villa all the time.

In addition to fighting in the bucket, sometimes hunting in Tongning Forest.

After unremitting efforts, Lu Pingan finally raised the two swords of spring and summer to the stage of great success, and the two swords of autumn and winter have also successfully started.

Regarding the cultivation realm, he has made rapid progress, reaching the seventh peak of the True Martial Realm in more than twenty days!

Logically speaking, the results of this practice are already quite amazing.

But Lu Ping'an was still a little dissatisfied, because using this strength to fight Zhao Shengrong to the death, he really didn't have complete confidence.

And three days before the duel, the situation in Tongning City had undergone some changes.

After a fierce struggle, the Demon Slayer Club finally split into two, and the other was named the Demon Hunter Club.

What is called is not the point. The point is that the so-called three powers will no longer exist, leaving only the two giants, Haze Villa and Wanrong Commercial Bank.

The new city lord has also been appointed, but it is said that Ouyang Xia and the chief treasurer of Wanrong Commercial Bank have jointly identified people with certain governance capabilities.

This also means that the court of Dongyu Kingdom still has not made up its mind to completely control Tongning City.

Usually the city owner may have a little right to speak, but if you really want to encounter major events that affect the entire city, you still have to look at the meaning of the two giants.

As for the Iron Knife Gang, although Zhao Shengrong used cruel methods of iron and blood to clear out all the "anti-thief" in the gang, his vitality was greatly injured.

But Zhao Shengrong wouldn't care too much about these things for the time being, he just wanted to kill Lu Pingan.

In addition to avenging Zhao Tianhua, it was also for himself.

...

On the day of the decisive battle, Lu Pingan and Zhao Shengrong, as agreed, came to a competition platform in Tongning City.

In addition, a lot of onlookers also came, surrounded by crowds of people, and the water was blocked.

With their status and strength, they are not top-notch in Tongning City. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to attract the attention of the whole city.

And the reason for this is because of Ouyang Xia.

People all want to come and see, what kind of person would Ouyang Xia be worthy of being a fan.

Some people were curious about Lu Ping's appearance, but when they came to see it, they didn't think it looked like the little white face in the rumor.

Some people are interested in his strength. A True Martial Realm dares to challenge the Yuan Martial Realm, either seeking a dead end or having some extraordinary skills.

Others are wondering, if Lu Pingan really loses, when he is about to die, will Ouyang Xia help?

People come to watch the excitement with different ideas.

Lu Pingan never cared about the eyes of others. He only wanted to kill Zhao Shengrong, which was also considered to be a judgment on the things before.

On the competition stage, Lu Pingan and Zhao Shengrong stood opposite each other, no referee was needed, only life or death was used to determine the outcome.

Zhao Shengrong scanned the audience, then looked at Lu Pingan, and asked, "Where is that woman?"

Lu Ping'an with one hand behind him, looked confident, and said, "You mean Sister Xia? She is not interested in fighting at our level."

Zhao Shengrong said: "Without her covering you with a skirt, then you would be dead today! Of course, even if she was there, I believe she would not dare to do it in front of so many people. The credibility is enough."

Lu Pingan smiled and said, "You don't need to use such words to provoke me. It doesn't make any sense. Today I will use my strength to prove everything."

"Just what else do you want to prove? Just six Zhenwu, I can kill you without three tricks! Or, what kind of hosta do you want to use?"

Zhao Shengrong's understanding of Lu Ping'an obviously still stayed on the day of the beast tide, when the two met.

Lu Pingan called out the Fuliu sword and said, "Don't worry, I will only use this sword this time. Speaking of the realm of cultivation, I heard that after you were seriously injured, your strength fell sharply. Now you only have the strength of Zhenwu Ninth Layer. Is it real?"

Mentioning this incident, Zhao Shengrong suddenly widened his eyes, angered the sky, and shouted: "Lu Pingan! My son was killed by you, and my strength will become what it is now, and I will be conspired by you. These hatreds, I will Let you pay it back!"

After saying this, Zhao Shengrong showed his black machete, and spiritual power rushed out of his body.

Lu Ping'an felt that it was indeed weaker than before, but the realm was still in the first level of the Yuanwu realm, which was equivalent to the super powerful 9th ​​level of Zhenwu.

"I said that all the fate of you and Zhao Tianhua was self-inflicted. This is a fact that will never change. Also, you made a mistake, Zhenwu Sixth? I am not anymore."

After Lu Ping'an finished speaking, he also released his spiritual power, showing his current cultivation realm to everyone.

"It's impossible! A month ago, you were obviously the Sixth Zhenwu!"

After Zhao Shengrong felt it, he couldn't help exclaiming, because Lu Ping'an's cultivation base at this moment actually reached...Zhenwu Eightfold!

Everyone around was in an uproar.

"Break the two realms in one month? This is too exaggerated!"

"Genius! I didn't expect this kid to be a spiritual genius! No wonder the owner Ouyang values ​​him so much!"

"This cultivation speed is too terrifying, even the famous Daen Sect disciples of Dongyu Kingdom do not have this speed!"

Even Guo Lanying and Shi Hao in the audience didn't know about this matter, and they were surprised by it.

Shi Hao couldn't help asking: "Brother Lu, when you came, weren't you still the Seventh Zhenwu? When did you break through again?"

Lu Ping'an replied: "Just now, otherwise you thought, why did I talk so much nonsense to him?"

Everyone was shocked again, breaking a realm between talking and laughing? What kind of spiritual monster is this guy!

Zhao Shengrong shouted violently: "Even so, you still have to die!"

Lu Ping'an didn't say more, a sword thundered and stormed forward!
