This sharp knife had cut through flesh, but it was not Guan He's flesh, nor was it Song Jia's flesh.

A thick and powerful hand grabbed onto the blade of the scimitar, and what the scimitar had cut into was the skin and flesh of that hand.

Blood flowed from the blade.

Xia Jiang's eyes widened as he looked at the man who was looking at him.

There was a biting cold killing intent in his eyes, and this killing intent was something Xia Jiang had never seen before in his life.

He had never felt such a terrifying killing intent. It was as if if if he made any unusual movements, this killing intent would instantly tear him apart.

Xu Taiping's hand closed around the blade, and it made a cracking sound.

All of a sudden, Xu Taiping flung his hand out.

The dagger flew to the side and stabbed into the wall.

More than half of the blade had sunk into the wall, which showed how powerful the swing was.

Xu Taiping's hand did not fall down. Instead, he reached out and made a grasping motion.

Xia Jiang reacted quickly and took a few steps back, but Xu Taiping was even faster.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, he might be a super expert that could be one to one hundred and ten. But to Xu Taiping, Xia Jiang was no different from many people he had killed before, and for people that were more powerful and powerful than Xia Jiang, Xu Taiping had killed countless of them.

'Pa! '

Xu Taiping's hand grabbed Xia Jiang's neck, then he lifted up Xia Jiang with one hand.

Xia Jiang painfully grabbed Xu Taiping's hand, wanting to pry it away, but he found that he couldn't move this hand at all. Although this hand was bleeding, the power in it still reached an unimaginable degree.

Xia Jiang kept using his feet to kick Xu Taiping's body, but Xu Taiping's body felt like it was a hundred years old pine. No matter how hard Xia Jiang kicked, or how tricky the kick was, Xu Taiping still stood there steadily, not moving at all, not even frowning.

Xu Taiping's finger suddenly began to contract.

Xu Taiping's strong muscles tensed up.

Xia Jiang's tongue couldn't help but stick out as his entire body trembled uncontrollably.

A powerful force locked onto Xia Jiang's throat, making it impossible for him to breathe. His face slowly turned ashen, and he looked extremely terrifying.

"Let him go, peace." Guan He held a sharp knife and pressed it against Xu Taiping's back.

The blade was not long, but it was enough to pierce through Xu Taiping's back and his heart.

"I've already let him go once." Xu Taiping said coldly, "This time, I will not let him go."

"Don't force me." Guan He said.

"Kill me with the knife in your hand if you want." Xu Taiping raised his head and looked at the unconscious Xia Jiang, saying, "Either I die, or he dies."

Guan He's face was filled with pain. She pushed the dagger forward a bit, the blade piercing through Xu Taiping's clothes and the skin on his back.

Xu Taiping didn't seem to feel any pain. He still held onto Xia Jiang, waiting for him to suffocate to death.

Guan He used his strength once again, and this time, the tip of the blade pierced into Xu Taiping's muscles.

Blood gushed out from the wound, seeping down Xu Taiping's back.

Xu Taiping still didn't waver. He grabbed Xia Jiang by the neck, but Xia Jiang had already fallen into a coma, not struggling at all.

"Peace!"

A familiar, terrified cry suddenly came from outside the door.

From start to finish, Xu Taiping hadn't moved at all. He turned to look at Meng Hao.

He saw Xia Jinxuan standing at the door with eyes full of fear.

"Let him go." As Guan He spoke, he released the blade in his hand.

With a clang, the blade fell to the ground.

Xu Taiping let go.

Xia Jiang fell to the ground with a thump, then his body shook violently as he regained his breath.

Xia Jinxuan let out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Xia Jinxuan suddenly saw a petite figure flying towards her father.

"No!" Xia Jinxuan screamed in fear.

Xu Taiping turned his head and saw a shadow flash past him. Then, the shadow rushed towards Xia Jiang.

At this moment, this frail figure burst forth with a speed and strength that completely did not match with her body.

Xu Taiping stretched out his hand, wanting to grab her, but for some reason, his hand paused in the air.

That made Xu Taiping unable to catch Song Jia.

Song Jia threw herself onto Xia Jiang's body.

Xia Jiang's body violently trembled, then his eyes suddenly widened.

Guan He rushed forward from the side, pushing Song Jia away.

Song Jia staggered and fell to the side. Just as she was about to fall, Xu Taiping suddenly rushed to her side and hugged her.

"Dad!" Xia Jinxuan let out a scream and rushed in from the doorway.

Xia Jiang laid on the ground, his body continuously twitching.

Due to the intense lack of oxygen, he had yet to fully recover his body's functions. Therefore, when he faced Song Jia's pounce, he had no way to dodge at all.

On Xia Jiang's chest, there was a palm-sized blade stuck there.

This blade was very sharp. It easily penetrated the skin and muscles on Xia Jiang's chest, pierced through his sternum, and then stabbed into the innermost heart.

This knife was the one that Xu Taiping had given her on Song Jia's birthday. It was extremely sharp.

Song Jia, who had never killed an animal before, not to mention a human, had accurately stabbed Xia Jiang in the heart.

When a person fell into despair, no matter how harmless they were, they would instantly turn into the craziest assassins.

Fresh blood continued to gush out as Xia Jinxuan rushed to Xia Jiang's side and kneeled beside him as she screamed in fear.

Guan He quickly called for an ambulance, but everyone knew that even if there was an immortal here, it would be useless.

Outside the door, the cold wind had somehow blown in, blowing into the villa and cooling the bodies of the two people on the ground.

Xia Jiang, Song Hubai.

The bodies of these two best brothers, who had once stood at the highest position in Jiangyuan City, turned cold little by little.

"Father... "Yes, I'm sorry." Xia Jiang raised his hand with difficulty and caressed Xia Jinxuan's face.

His premonition had come true. Song Hubai had set him up when he was about to die, and now, he was going to die. He was going to stay with Song Hubai for the rest of his life.

Only now did regret it in Xia Jiang's heart.

He looked at his daughter, who was in her prime. He looked at everything around him.

He could no longer chat, laugh, or caress his daughter's face. He could no longer watch her grow up, marry, and give birth to all of his grandchildren.

He could no longer see the changes in Jiang Yuan City, nor could he see all the things that he treasured.

The fear of death enveloped Jiang Yuan City's formidable figure for the first time. The regret in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Darkness engulfed his body bit by bit. He only felt himself falling unceasingly, until finally, there was no more light in front of him.

He saw himself leaving home together with Song Hubai and taking down his first piece of land. He saw his own daughter fall from grace, he saw his daughter calling him father for the first time, he saw his wife leaving him in pain, and he saw everyone surrounding him.

They were talking, but Xia Jiang couldn't hear them.

Xia Jiang closed his eyes.

Not long after Song Hubai was killed, he followed in his footsteps.

The two brothers who had roamed the martial arts world together for dozens of years finally confirmed the words they said when they were sworn brothers.

We do not seek the same date as the same month of the same year, but seek the same month of the same year to die.

"I will kill you!" Xia Jinxuan rushed towards Song Jia, but Song Jia just stood there with a lifeless look in her eyes.

Xu Taiping blocked Xia Jinxuan.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Xia Jinxuan angrily roared.

Xu Taiping shook his head, he didn't say anything, he just looked at Xia Jinxuan.

"If you don't move away, I won't see you again in this life, I swear!" Xia Jinxuan was like an injured little tiger, glaring at Xu Taiping like a tiger.

Xu Taiping shook his head.

"You bastard!" Xia Jinxuan roared, raised her hand and slapped Xu Taiping's face.

'Pa! '

A resounding slap across the face echoed throughout the entire villa.

"Scram, all of you scram for me. Scram as far away as you can!" Xia Jinxuan roared.

Xu Taiping did not say a word. He looked at Guan He and nodded slightly. Then, he pulled Song Jia and walked over to Song Huping's corpse.

"Don't come back after you leave, don't meet me again. There won't be any relation between you and me anymore. Any!" Xia Jinxuan's voice came from behind them, but Xu Taiping did not stop. He pulled Song Jia's hand and walked to the side of Song Hubai's corpse. Then, he carried Song Hubai on his back and led him outside.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Xia Jinxuan's cries came from behind him. Xu Taiping was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Song Jia sobbed non-stop, tightly holding onto Xu Taiping's hand.

She had already experienced the pain of loss once, only to discover that her father was actually still alive. However, she didn't expect that the next time she saw him, she would have to experience the pain of loss once again.

Song Jia told herself to be strong, but her body continued to tremble.

The darkness of the night engulfed the entirety of Jiangyuan City.

Xu Taiping brought Song Huping to his grave.

This grave was the one that was buried when the fake Song Huban died.

Xu Taiping dug up the grave with his bare hands, then placed Song Hubai's body into the grave and slowly reconstructed it.

A clap of thunder suddenly fell from the sky and landed on a distant mountain peak. There was a violent clap of thunder.

The autumn wind was rustling, and the somewhat cold rain fell from the sky onto Xu Taiping and Song Jia's bodies.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Song Jia Lun stood in front of the grave and sobbed silently.

Xu Taiping stood beside Song Jia, his arm around her shoulders.

The rain wetted the two of them, gradually blurring their figures.
