The person who threw out the hidden weapons was named Shi Yanran, the wife of the leader of the renowned Thousand Ray House, Gongsun Qian. And the man she just killed was both her secret lover and the adept of Thousand Ray House.

Shi Yanran was known for her unique nail throwing technique at the age of twenty. By twenty-three, she met and married the leader of Thousand Ray House who was over fifty in age.

Ten years passed by, and what happened during these ten years was not worth going into detail. "A pear flower on top of begonia" (1) would suffice.

The man who died was named Wang Ao, twenty-four in age, and became an adept in Thousand Ray three years ago. Because of his handsome face, he was "selected" by the female master to become a "closed door" adept; hence began an inappropriate relationship.

But Wang Ao was not just handsomehe had his own ambitions. When he first came into Thousand Ray House, he was plotting for Thousand Ray House's special technique, Thousand Ray Holy Technique, and hence started the relationship with the female master to have more opportunities.

About a year ago, Wang Ao felt the timing was right and started to hint Shi Yanran in an attempt to ask her to steal the Thousand Ray Holy Technique or copy it for him.

Shi Yanran was not a fool. Although Gongsun Ran didn't know anything about her cheating, he was not muddled enough to not know that the most important technique should not be touched by anyone, therefore, she didn't dare to steal it. On the other hand, Wang Ao continued to mention this to her and even came to a point where his requests became threats.

Therefore, Shi Yanran had the desire to kill

With the two greatest swordsmen verifying the truth to their sword at Canglin Town, Thousand Ray, as one of the most powerful factions, obviously wouldn't miss this great show, and the cheating couple of the master's wife and closed door adept followed the leader here.

That's how the previous scene occurred.

Just like what Feng Bujue said, presently in the town, no one cared if someone killed someone at night. They just needed to take care of the body to prevent people from determining the killer from the wound, then everything would be settled.

Shi Yanran planned to do that. She pretended to ask Wang Ao for a date at night, but in actuality, she planned to kill him. But as devious as Wang Ao, he already sensed something odd and prepared for this. Just as she was about to take action, he immediately ran away.

But Shi Yanran's cultivation was far superior than Wang Ao, so the latter didn't manage to escape. Just before he died, he happened to appear in front of Feng Bujue and the team.

When Feng Bujue was examining the body, Shi Yanran said "ah" in her mind. There were plenty of people in Jianghu that recognized her nails weapon. Now with witness, the weapon, and body her crime people would be leaked, and once the crime was leaked, her cheating could no longer be kept a secret.

In that instant, Shi Yanran thought If I started this, I might as well finish the job! Since these people didn't look like they had cultivation force at all, why not just kill all of them? It's just that you all are unlucky.

Buzz A few odd sounds began to rang around Feng Bujue.

The nail that was suddenly aimed at him midair was about to hit his body, but it was blocked by an invisible barrier. If one approached closer, they could notice the transparent ripples formed by the piercing hidden weapons around him.

It was [Echo Armor]'s "buffer" effect once again being effective. It was mentioned that echo barrier against fast speed with multiple projectiles offer significant defensive capability Even K3's close range piercing fist was blocked by the echo barrier, so the far range scattered projectiles were not a problem at all.

Shi Yanran didn't expect this to happen, and she didn't understand how Feng Bujue managed to block the nails she had thrown.

Feng Bujue was screaming in mind, "Thank god!" If the enemy used close combat technique to attack him, his Survival Value might have suffered tragically. He was fortunate that she used hidden weapons to attack him which caused him no harm.

In one attack and defensive move, the situation took a drastic turn.

Shi Yanran previously thought that someone like Feng Bujue was without any cultivation force at alla nail thrown meant an inevitable death. She was planning to kill them, therefore, she was throwing the nails while already dashing out from the alley planning to deal with the four people further away. But the little guy stood there unharmed after being attacked by her own nails, and he magically took out a unique weapon she had never seen before, which forced her to stay on guardthe Pipe Wrench.

On Feng Bujue's side, he just instinctively took out his weapon. When he raised his head, a girl came into sight. She was in a white combat suit with grey furs around her shoulder. There was a silver ribbon wrapped around her waist. While the woman was not stunning, her face and her figure could be considered a top tier beauty. Her thirty years of age added more taste to her.

"We can talk it out" Feng Bujue mostly understood the reason why she attacked him in the few seconds. He cunningly said, "I don't know you" He then pointed at the body on the ground. "I don't know him either." He cautiously maintained a certain distance between him and Shi Yanran. "What just happened has nothing to do with me as well." He saw that the opponent had stopped her movements, and it seemed she didn't dare to act rashly.

Feng Bujue felt calmer as he said,, "My friends and I could pretend we saw nothing, quietly leave here, and let you take care of the body."

Shi Yanran already had the desire to kill, so how could she be shaken by just a few words. She sneered, "Humph don't you think it is too late now? You have already seen my face." Her sight moved to Wang Ao's body. "You have seen his face as well, that's enough." Her idea was not wrong. She had no reason to believe a few strangers would keep what just happened a secret. If they really kept a secret, that meant the secret would become a chip to threaten her.

"Then we don't have any other solutions" While Feng Bujue was speaking, he slightly turned his body and raised his voice, it was obvious that he was signaling his teammates to prepare to fight.

But a red ray suddenly erupted. Feng Bujue's surrounding suddenly exploded, which proceeded to form a powerful energy. He was quite fearful of the ability of the NPCs in the scenario, so he didn't dare to let his guard down at all. Therefore, he used [Body-Spirit Congregation Technique] from the start.

Shi Yanran was more nervous compared to Feng Bujue. While she originally thought he didn't have any cultivation force, the invisible force that parried her nails was like a technique that could only be used by an elite with rich cultivation force. And the red shaped force was a technique she had never seen before.

Shi Yanran didn't dare to think more now; she just wanted to kill him. Since the kid in front of her possessed some tricks, then she will use all her force and see if he or she would die!

She secretly mobilized her cultivation force. With knees slightly bent, her wrist pushed out to deliver out explosiveness. This time, only a single nail flew towards Feng Bujue, but the force was unstoppablethe nail piercing the wind sounded like screaming and was directly aimed at Feng Bujue's throat.
