The stand-in for Zhao Yunhai was killed by Lone Wolf in a single blow.
Just moments ago, the fake Zhao Yunhai had walked to a less crowded area, drawn by a milk tea shop ahead where a pretty girl was working.
This plan provided Lone Wolf with the perfect opportunity to strike, and it was also Ada's instruction for the fake Zhao Yunhai to act this way.
"Young Master Yun."
Ada and the others looked on in feigned "shock" at the scene.
The stand-in pretended to look at the milk tea girl before being struck down by Lone Wolf, who appeared as a passerby, in a single, swift move.
This strike directly shattered the vital meridians, leaving no chance of survival.
When a peak expert acted, it was over in an instant.
Even the four clan elders, who were Grandmasters, didn't sense any precursor to Lone Wolf's attack.
Ada and the other two were forced back by Lone Wolf's internal energy. Lone Wolf only killed those on his list and never involved anyone else, regardless of their innocence or guilt.
Lu Boyun and Du Lu also pretended to be forced back by the opponent's internal energy, sent flying backward before spitting blood and feigning unconsciousness.
The blood they spat was real; after all, to conceal their true actions from the eyes of a peak expert, they had to put on a genuine performance.
"Damn you, I'll kill you."
The moment the fake Zhao Yunhai died, the four clan elders reacted swiftly, counterattacking Lone Wolf. The combined might of four Grandmasters was still terrifyingly potent.
However, in Lone Wolf's eyes, even Grandmasters were no match. They were merely so-so.
"Four Grandmasters? The Zhao clan has quite the resources, a pity."
Lone Wolf's gaze swept over them, his figure flickered, and all four were kicked flying, crashing into two shuttered shops.
*Pfft!!!*
The four Grandmaster elders spat out a mouthful of blood, never expecting that their combined attack would still be so inadequate in the eyes of a peak expert.
"Another job completed."
Lone Wolf felt a sense of loneliness in his invincibility. He had expected some challenge, but it turned out to be this effortless.
Lone Wolf looked at the defeated group with a hint of regret. After leaving his mark, his figure flickered and vanished from the spot.
However, Lone Wolf was unaware that with satellite tracking, no matter how fast you are, you can be slowed down countless times.
The moment Lone Wolf appeared, he was immediately captured by the Zhao clan's satellite. Once locked on, it would be difficult for Lone Wolf to escape.
Meanwhile, Zhao Han Jin also left the hotel immediately after Lone Wolf's strike. His movements were incredibly swift; passersby only felt a gust of wind as he passed.
This was the speed of a peak expert.
What is "peak"? The apex of martial artists.
Zhao Han Jin wore a secure earpiece, allowing him to clearly know Lone Wolf's location.
Zhao Yunhai would appear when Zhao Han Jin engaged Lone Wolf, to confirm if he was the protagonist.
After the stand-in's death, Ada instructed Liu Tan to arrange for the body to be sent to the deceased's family.
The money was also transferred to the stand-in's parents' account after his death.
Ada and the others then helped the four clan elders and returned to Zhao Yunhai's side.
"You've all worked hard."
Zhao Yunhai personally helped an elder to sit down upon seeing Ada and the others supporting the elders as they entered.
"Rest well and recover. From now on, only Ada and the other two will accompany me."
Among the many, only Ada and the other two sustained lighter injuries.
Zhao Lesheng also quickly rose to help. Hearing that Young Master Yunhai intended to go personally, he immediately said, "Young Master Yunhai, please take me with you."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't be a burden."
Zhao Lesheng was also a martial artist, but he had been accustomed to a life of leisure for a long time. However, Zhao Lesheng's status in the Zhao clan was not comparable to ordinary clan members, and he had received more resources.
Zhao Lesheng's strength was at the late stage of Dark Strength. If he had been a little more diligent, he would at least be at the Gang Strength stage.
But Zhao Lesheng was used to enjoying himself and couldn't endure the hardships of cultivation.
After all, with martial artists protecting him, why would he suffer? If he wanted to advance, he could completely rely on resources.
As long as his mind was sharp and he wasn't foolish, his family allowed him to coast like this.
However, the martial arts culture was still very strong within the Zhao clan.
Apart from Young Master Zhao Yunhai, who intensely disliked martial artists, all other Zhao clan members would go to the martial arts academy for training at the age of martial arts.
Zhao clan members were born with the glory and wealth of the family. While enjoying these, they naturally had to bear the corresponding responsibilities.
This was what their fathers had told the Zhao clan members since birth.
Although Zhao Lesheng enjoyed wealth and prestige in his daily life, he also had the responsibility to protect Young Master Yunhai, the future family head.
"Alright, come with me."
Zhao Yunhai glanced at Zhao Lesheng's gaze and agreed to let him accompany him.
...
"Lone Wolf, if you were in my era, you would either be made one of us or eliminated before you could grow."
"Now, I'll give you an opportunity. Join our Zhao clan, and we will overlook your recent actions."
Zhao Han Jin pursued Lone Wolf all the way, but Lone Wolf, unaware of the pursuit, was quickly caught up.
"Old man, I remember you have a grandson. Don't think you're so great just because you're a peak expert."
"Once people have attachments, they have weaknesses. I have no weaknesses."
Lone Wolf was very surprised at how the other party had discovered him, and that this old man was the same one he had met at the high-speed train station that day.
"Are you threatening me?"
Zhao Han Jin was amused to the point of laughter.
He had never feared threats in his life. As a member of the Zhao clan, he had only ever been the one to issue threats.
"I'm not threatening you, just stating a fact."
"Zhao Yunhai is already dead. You should focus on how you're going to report back."
Lone Wolf's words were laced with a light, gloating chuckle.
He continued to run towards an uninhabited area. The only secluded places in Dongdu were the mountains and forests surrounding the highway.
"You can't escape. I've been a peak expert for many years and have killed peak martial artists. Given your young age, you must have inherited from some peak martial artist."
Zhao Han Jin, relying on his sharp eyes and experience, directly pinpointed the reason for the other's strength.
It was the first time someone had seen through him at a glance. Lone Wolf turned back and gave the old man a deep look.
This guy.
Lone Wolf felt a sense of apprehension. The fact that the other could instantly discern the origin of his strength, an enemy of peak experts, was something he had truly never encountered.
However, he was also a peak expert. No matter how strong the other was, he wouldn't be overwhelmingly so.
But he couldn't fight here. He had heard of the Zhao clan's power, and they would definitely not let him go if he killed Zhao Yunhai.
As long as he reached the forest, the other party would be unable to find him if he wished to disappear.
On the other side, Ada was driving, taking Young Master Yun towards the location.
On the way, Zhao Lesheng specifically went to a courier company to pick up a package.
This courier company had investment from a Zhao clan-affiliated company, making it difficult to discern whether the Zhao clan was involved.
"This is Elder Jin's weapon, isn't it?"
Zhao Yunhai said slowly as he watched Zhao Lesheng unwrap it, revealing a treasured sword.
"That's right, it's Great-Grandfather's. It was too crowded and there were rules against carrying weapons at the high-speed train station, so it was sent by courier."
Great-Grandfather's sword had not been unsheathed for a long time.
Zhao Lesheng carefully touched the scabbard and gently drew the sword. The moment the sword was unsheathed, a cold gleam shot into his eyes, causing him to squint instantly.
