Bai Shijing turned, saw the situation, and was greatly alarmed; in an instant it seemed as if the three of them were being toyed with! Without hesitation, he swiftly drew his Armor-piercing Awl, leapt forward, and two cold flashes instantly reached his front, attacking Niu Dingtian again.

Niu Dingtian's warning as he was about to leave still rang in his ears; this person's martial arts strength is such that it cannot be matched by force, and he was somewhat hesitant for a moment.

Quan Guanqing saw the situation, his eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly said: "Actually, as long as the matter is big enough, even Qiao Feng cannot withstand the pressure. Qiao Feng's martial arts prowess is such that anyone who has seen it knows it is absolutely not inferior to Niu Dingtian."

"As long as we manage to provoke the gang's anger and outrage among like-minded fellows, once Qiao Feng cannot withstand the pressure, we can certainly make him and the other party suffer mutual losses. By doing this, borrowing a knife to kill, we can also consider it revenge for our grievance today."

After hearing these words, Bai Shijing involuntarily nodded, but this tugged at his left ear wound, causing him to hiss and draw in a breath of cold air.

"Chief Quan, what plan do you have? Just say it outright." He urged, gritting his teeth.

Quan Guanqing hehe-he laughed and said: "This plan still requires Elder Xu's help."

"Please help me, old man?"

Elder Xu involuntarily startled, subconsciously wanting to put on airs.

"Elder Xu, come closer to my ear." Quan Guanqing waved his hand, smiling as he approached.

"All... uh... several families' elder fathers, why... suck... squeeze... cover...?" Elder Xu, imitating a leaky accent, leaning on his oldness to sell his oldness, just leaned over to the ear, even his old waist bent only three tenths.

"Pfft!"

"You......"

Before he could feel pleased for long, only hearing a "pfft" sound, his eyes suddenly widened, then one hand covered his abdomen, the other hand trembled slightly as if pointing at Quan Guanqing, his face full of disbelief.

His own brother actually stabbed him with a knife! Not far away—

Bai Shijing, seeing this scene, also couldn't help but be stunned for a moment; after reacting, he disregarded the wound on his left ear, directly raised his hand and angrily pointed at Quan Guanqing, shouting sternly:

"Quan Guanqing!!"

"You dare to harm fellow disciples!"

Perhaps it was out of the instinct of his identity as the law-enforcement elder, or perhaps he still had some conscience; at the moment he confirmed that Quan Guanqing had harmed fellow disciples, Bai Shijing's anger welled up from within, without any falseness, even though the victim had been secretly regarded by him as a love rival.

But hearing the stern shout, Quan Guanqing paid no heed, leaving the dagger embedded in Elder Xu's abdomen, his expression turning sinister, and then he fiercely struck a palm toward his chest.

Thus, Elder Xu, over eighty and experiencing a late-life revival, before the spring breeze could blow a second time, died an obscure death at the hands of his own people. (End of chapter)
