As there was no sparring partner, Long Xiao brought two to him, and Luo Tianshui was not one to let them go easily.
The sword technique Luo Tianshui practiced was taught to him by Long Xiao specifically for using the 'Xue Ren'.
This set of sword techniques was grand and imposing, like a dragon emerging from water when unleashed, possessing extreme offensive power.
The two middle-aged men were no match for Luo Tianshui, and soon they were flustered, getting poked by Luo Tianshui's staff more than ten times.
Luo Tianshui had to slow down just to have someone to spar with.
The two middle-aged men couldn't dodge, couldn't escape, and were hit every time they slowed down.
Half an hour later, both were panting and drenched in sweat from exhaustion. Luo Tianshui then knocked them down, one by one, with a single blow each.
Seeing the two middle-aged men defeated, Ji Lin, scared, turned and ran towards the front courtyard.
It was already noon. Patients who couldn't get an appointment in the morning had left, and the remaining few had gone to Sun Sizu's clinic.
As Ji Lin reached the middle of the front courtyard, Luo Tianshui caught up and swung his staff at Ji Lin's legs.
With two cracking sounds, Ji Lin's legs were broken amidst screams.
Luo Tianshui grabbed Ji Lin by the collar and dragged him in front of Long Xiao, saying, "Brother Long, I've brought you someone to practice with too."
Long Xiao kicked Ji Lin and said, "My medical skills are already high enough, I don't need to practice. It's time for lunch, let's go out for some activity, we can eat more."
Luo Tianshui dragged Ji Lin, carrying the wooden staff, walking ahead. Long Xiao followed behind, and the two left Xinglin Grass Hall.
The two middle-aged men who were beaten were not seriously injured. They got up, saw Ji Lin's legs broken, and dared not come out from the back courtyard.
After Long Xiao and Luo Tianshui left, the two middle-aged men quickly climbed over the wall and left Xinglin Grass Hall. They immediately took out their phones and reported the situation to Ji Lin's father, Ji Tianyi.
Upon hearing the report, Ji Tianyi said, "You two follow them and report the situation at any time. Long Xiao's strength is around the middle stage of Xuanjing, and the four experts I've hired are at the peak of Xuanjing. He's dead this time."
Ji Tianyi had originally intended for Ji Lin and the two middle-aged men to lure Xin Yifei out of Xinglin Grass Hall and then kill him. Since Long Xiao was going to his death, he decided to have the four experts he hired eliminate Long Xiao first.
Luo Tianshui dragged Ji Lin straight to the alley entrance, while Long Xiao followed in his car.
Within a few days, the intelligence agency established by Ye Xiao had over a dozen subordinates, with people watching Xinglin Grass Hall daily.
As soon as Ji Lin and the others appeared, the situation was immediately reported to Ye Xiao, who quickly passed the intelligence to Long Xiao.
The four elders were definitely experts. It would be inconvenient to fight near Xinglin Grass Hall, as it might cause trouble. Long Xiao decided to lure them to Beimang Mountain before making a move.
The four elders, upon receiving the order to kill Long Xiao, had been watching the alley entrance for him to come out.
After a while, they didn't see Long Xiao, but instead saw Luo Tianshui emerge, holding a staff in one hand and Ji Lin in the other.
"Big Brother, Ji Tianyi's son seems to be severely injured. Should we make a move?" asked the elder with a birthmark on his face.
The elder sitting in the passenger seat had white hair and beard and a ruddy complexion. He stared at Ji Lin with hawk-like eyes and said, "His legs are just broken, he won't die. Our mission is to kill Long Xiao and Xin Yifei. If they haven't come out, we can't act."
Long Xiao glanced at the four elders in the car not far away. As Long Xiao's car slowly approached them, he asked, "Brother Long, should we deal with them?"
Long Xiao shook his head slightly and said, "Get in the car, this is not a suitable place to fight."
Luo Tianshui opened the car door, threw Ji Lin into the back seat, and got into the passenger seat himself.
As Long Xiao's car passed the BMW the four elders were in, he pointed to the back seat, made a digging motion with both hands, and then suddenly accelerated, the Rolls-Royce roaring away.
"Big Brother, is Long Xiao trying to bury the young master of the Ji family?" asked the elder in the back seat, dressed in leather.
The elder in the passenger seat nodded and said, "It looks like it. Follow him."
The BMW closely followed the Rolls-Royce, and Long Xiao drove faster and faster, as if trying to shake off the BMW behind him.
The four elders' mission was to kill Long Xiao, and now that Long Xiao was trying to escape, they naturally wouldn't let him.
After crossing the Huangjiang Bridge, Long Xiao's Rolls-Royce headed straight for Beimang Mountain. The buildings by the roadside became fewer, and the traffic on the road also gradually decreased.
Beimang Mountain is the largest mountain near Donghai. A small part of the northern side of the mountain has been developed with villas, but the rest remains undeveloped.
The Rolls-Royce followed the road deep into Beimang Mountain. The road became increasingly difficult to navigate, and only then did Long Xiao stop the car by the roadside.
Long Xiao got out of the car, crossed his arms, and waited for the car behind him to arrive. Luo Tianshui pulled Ji Lin out of the car.
Seeing that Long Xiao had brought him to the mountains, Ji Lin involuntarily became frightened.
"Long, Brother Long, Lord Long, I won't dare to trouble you again. Spare me," Ji Lin said with a trembling voice.
Long Xiao looked up at the lush green Beimang Mountain and said, "This is a geomantically auspicious place. Burying you here, your descendants will surely prosper."
"Brother Long, Doctor Long, I don't have any descendants yet. Spare me. I, I'll give you money, however much you want," Ji Lin pleaded again.
The car of the four elders stopped not far from Long Xiao. Seeing the four elders pursuing them, Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
When he left the Ji family, his father had told him that he had hired four experts at a high price from the Lu family in Lingnan. As long as Xin Yifei could be lured out, these four elders could take care of him.
The four elders got out of the car and walked towards Long Xiao. Ji Lin hurriedly shouted, "Help me! My name is Ji Lin, I'm from the Ji family."
The four elders glanced at Ji Lin without looking at him, as if he didn't exist.
The elder walking at the front said, "Long Xiao, this place with its green mountains and clear waters is a good choice."
Long Xiao chuckled and said, "The environment is good, suitable for burying the dead. Do you want to attack together, or one by one?"
The four elders' vital energy was contained, and Long Xiao could not see any overflowing vital energy from their bodies. Their strength should be higher than the middle stage of Xuanjing.
"Our four brothers always attack together, no matter who we fight," said an elder.
Luo Tianshui took out the 'Xue Ren' and said, "Brother Long, let me do it."
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "Give me the 'Xue Ren'. I can handle these four myself."
Long Xiao rarely used weapons when fighting. The fact that he was going to use the 'Xue Ren' this time showed that he was not entirely confident. Luo Tianshui hesitated for a moment, then took out the 'Xue Ren' and handed it to Long Xiao.
Luo Tianshui dragged Ji Lin back dozens of meters and threw Ji Lin under a tree, saying, "I'll bury you after I kill these four."
Ji Lin looked at Luo Tianshui and dared not speak. He was still in Luo Tianshui's hands and worried that a single wrong word might lead Luo Tianshui to kill him.
The four elders did not dare to be careless and also took out their own weapons.
"Long Xiao, remember we are the Four Elders of the Lu family. We received forty million from the Ji family to kill you," said the eldest of the four elders, Lu Ji, putting on silk gloves.
"I am the second eldest, named Lu Han," said the elder with a birthmark on his face, taking out a cold iron short sword.
The elder in leather stepped forward, took out a pair of Emei thorns from his embrace, and said, "I am the third eldest, Lu Xin."
As the fourth elder was about to speak, Long Xiao waved his hand and said, "Annoying. You have time to introduce yourselves before a fight, I could have killed you and dug the grave by then."
"Hmph, arrogance requires capital. I'll chop off your limbs later and see if you can still be arrogant," the fourth elder, Lu Nian, snorted coldly and said.
