Chapter 136: The Masked Man of the Paradise Hall

"Hmph, you are such a useless bunch of rubbish. I've only been away for two or three months, and you guys have already ruined the foundation I've worked so hard to build!" The hall master snorted coldly.

All these people were silent, bowing their heads.

"Han Suyun is also a fool. He can't even deal with a young man who has just started out, and he was killed by him. So he's dead!"

"Where does Zhao Ya live? I'll go over and take his head off now." The hall master stood up and said slowly.

Hearing this, these people were as if they had been pardoned, and the person who just spoke was even more busy.

"In Ping'anfang, Zhao Ya lives next to Dingtai Martial Arts Hall in Ping'anfang."

"Dingtai Martial Arts Hall..." The hall master hesitated slightly.

Lu Dingtai is not easy to mess with.

If Zhao Ya keeps hiding in Dingtai Martial Arts Hall and doesn't come out, he really can't do anything to him.

"I'll go meet him first. If he doesn't dare to come out, let him live a few more days. If he dares to come out, hehe, today is the day he dies."

After saying that, the hall master flashed and flew out of the window, and then disappeared after a few ups and downs.

Looking at the direction he left, all the people in the room were silent.

After a while, someone said weakly: "Do you think... can the hall master defeat Zhao Ya? After all, I heard that he has recently entered the fourth realm!"

The room was dead silent, and no one dared to speak.

After a long time, someone whispered: "It should be... possible!"

…………

"It's done!"

Looking at the small bottles of different colors on the table, Zhao Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

After a day of hard work, Zhao Ya finally succeeded in extracting the toxicity of these exotic beasts, and then mixed them together to prepare more than a dozen kinds of powder.

But this is only the first step. Now it's time to test the effect of these powders.

Zhao Ya carefully put the medicine bottles into the deerskin bag, intending to test the power of the medicine in the forest outside after the cocktail party held by the martial arts hall today.

After leaving this dedicated laboratory, Zhao Ya locked the door, not to prevent thieves, but to prevent someone from accidentally breaking in and getting hurt.

At this time, Zui'er was practicing swordsmanship in the yard, and Zhao Ya did not disturb him, just standing on the steps and watching.

From time to time, he would remind him and correct Zui'er's mistakes in his movements.

But at this moment, Zhao Ya suddenly felt something in his heart, and then turned his head to look somewhere.

He saw a masked man standing on the roof of a house, staring at him coldly at this time.

This mask is a very common smiley doll on the market, but the lips are painted as red as blood, which looks particularly weird.

When Zhao Ya looked at him, the masked man stretched out his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck, then sneered and turned away.

Zhao Ya's expression turned cold.

This place is very close to Dingtai Martial Arts Hall, and no one dares to cause trouble here.

So Zhao Ya didn't tell Zui'er, he jumped onto the eaves with his toes, and then chased after him.

The whole process took only a few seconds. When Zui'er heard the sound, stopped the knife in his hand and looked over, Zhao Ya had already disappeared.

"Hey, Brother Xiao Ya was here just now, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?" Zui'er said to himself in surprise.

At the same time, Zhao Ya had chased out of the city and came to a small hill.

At this time, the masked man suddenly stopped and turned to look at Zhao Ya.

"Did you kill all my men?"

Zhao Ya stood by a big tree not far away and said lightly.

"Who are your men?"

"Han Suyun and Qu Xiaoxiao!"

Zhao Ya immediately realized that the masked man should be the hall master who never showed his true face in Han Suyun's mouth.

There was no need to hide anything at this time.

Because no matter if he admitted it or not, when the masked man came to him and threatened to wipe his neck, Zhao Ya had already decided that he must die today.

So Zhao Ya nodded decisively, "Yes, I killed him."

"Haha, you are quite courageous. You dare to admit it." The masked man laughed strangely.

Zhao Ya looked at the masked man calmly.

Only after he finished laughing did he say, "Do you know that your acting like a ghost is really boring?"

"Huh?" The masked man was stunned.

"Do you think it's cool to buy a mask and paint your lips red, which can scare people and make you look mysterious?"

"Don't be funny, you can only scare some children who have never seen the world. And your laughter, can you stop laughing for no reason, as if you are the leader of a demon cult? Please, it's really awkward."

"To put it bluntly, don't read those two-cent-a-book chivalrous novels. You don't play a real villain like this."

The masked man was a little confused by the complaints.

It took him a long time to realize that Zhao Ya was mocking him, and he couldn't help but get furious.

"I didn't expect you to be so sharp-tongued. I'm going to pull out all your teeth later and see if you dare to talk to me like this."

"Not bad this time, at least you know how to say some harsh words to threaten people. Although the words are still a bit old-fashioned, it's an improvement after all." Zhao Ya commented.

The masked man was almost furious.

He rushed over with a roar.

This is what Zhao Ya was waiting for, because he had seen that the masked man was extremely powerful. Although he was not as powerful as his master Lu Dingtai, he was also an absolute fourth-level master.

That's why Zhao Ya used words to provoke him, in order to make the masked man lose his mind and be overwhelmed by anger.

In this way, his chances of winning would be much greater.

After all, when a person is emotionally excited, it is easy to make mistakes.

But it is not easy to anger a top master in just a few words.

However, Zhao Ya noticed that the masked man refused to take off his outer robe and mask even in the hottest time of spring, and deliberately pretended to be unfathomable when talking and laughing, so he knew that this person was extremely vain.

So Zhao Ya specifically complained about this point.

The result was remarkable.

The masked man was almost mad.

He liked this outfit the most, but in Zhao Ya's mouth, it was not only worthless, but also said that he was deliberately making a mystery.

How could he tolerate this?

So at this moment, he wanted to slap Zhao Ya to death.

Facing this palm attack, Zhao Ya dodged it with a flash, and the meteorite knife fell immediately.

After entering the fourth realm, Zhao Ya's strength skyrocketed in all aspects, even this hurricane sword technique was no exception.

Especially after entering the peak realm, Zhao Ya's understanding of this set of sword techniques has reached a new level.

The sword moves are still the original sword moves, but some places have changed, and many of Zhao Ya's insights have been incorporated.

To put it bluntly, this set of hurricane sword techniques has become more in line with Zhao Ya himself, and the power is also greater.

The speed of this sword cut was so fast that even the masked man was shocked.

If he continued to attack, his arm would definitely be chopped off, so he had no choice but to withdraw his moves and turn around.

Zhao Ya was unreasonable, and the meteorite knife in his hand danced like flying, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, and the sword went straight to the vitals of the masked man.

If that was all, it would be fine, but the key is that Zhao Ya's body movement is still very fast.

After each blow, the masked man was about to counterattack, but Zhao Ya had already dodged.

After fighting for a long time, the masked man didn't get hit by Zhao Ya, but his robe was chopped into several large holes.

The masked man was so angry that he screamed.

"You only know how to hide. If you have the guts, fight me head-on."

Zhao Ya didn't bother to pay attention to such words.

How stupid must he be to abandon his advantage and fight head-on?

Not only that, Zhao Ya continued to attack verbally while fighting.

"Laugh, why don't you laugh now? I think you really need to take a good look at your head. You actually believe in the plots in novels and books."

"Hey, do you want me to recommend a doctor to you? That guy specializes in treating stupid people like you."

If the clothes being chopped off were just physical damage, then this was a critical blow from the mind.

The masked man was so angry that he couldn't even speak. With red eyes, he just wanted to slap Zhao Ya to death.

But this is easier said than done.

Even if we only talk about strength, he and Zhao Ya are only on par.

This is based on the fact that he has been in the fourth realm for many years, his realm has been stable, and his strength in all aspects has been polished.

If Zhao Ya's realm is also stable in another month, his strength will definitely surpass him.

Here we are only talking about pure martial arts strength. If Zhao Ya's five internal organs are added.

The gap will be even greater.

Zhao Ya is not in a hurry.

It is very difficult to kill a fourth realm warrior, because after reaching this realm, even if you can't beat him, you can run away.

So Zhao Ya will find ways to anger him.

Not only that.

Zhao Ya also used all the powder in the deerskin bag that was originally intended to be tested on wild dogs, as well as the poison prepared with the drugs of the Bliss Sect, on the masked man.

The whole poisoning process was extremely concealed, and the method was so light that the masked man didn't notice it at all.

After fighting for a few minutes, the masked man became more and more impatient.

He thought this matter was simple.

As long as Zhao Ya is taken away from the Dingtai Martial Arts School, he will be able to kill him easily.

But he never expected that.

This guy has also broken through to the fourth realm, and he is still so difficult to deal with.

If he continues to fight like this, the situation will inevitably become more and more unfavorable to him.

The masked man had a little intention of retreating.

Since he can't kill him in a short time, he will give up first and make a long-term plan later.

Thinking of this, the masked man suddenly made a few palms, temporarily forcing Zhao Ya to retreat, and then turned around and ran without saying a word.

Zhao Ya certainly would not give up, and immediately chased him.

While chasing Zhao Ya, he shouted.

"Why are you running? Didn't you say you would pull out all my teeth? Why are you running away now?"

"I'll give you another chance, how about fighting me again? This time I promise not to fight you, but to fight you head-on."

But no matter how Zhao Ya shouted, the masked man didn't say a word, and made up his mind to escape from here first.

But after running for a while, the masked man suddenly felt his legs go weak and he almost fell off the tree branch.

After a stumble, he managed to stabilize his body, but his heart was full of horror.

What happened?

Why did his legs suddenly go weak?

Zhao Ya, who was following behind, was enlightened when he saw this.

Because he knew that the poison he had given was taking effect.

To be honest, Zhao Ya was not sure before this.

Because many of the poisons used on the masked man were seized from his subordinates.

As the head of the Paradise Cult, the masked man may have a way to control these drugs.

Even if he doesn't, long-term contact may make him immune.

In addition, he is a martial artist who has mastered skin polishing, so it is very likely that these poisons are useless.

As for the powders that were just tested today...

Zhao Ya did not hold any hope.

But he did not expect that the poison would work in this situation.

Zhao Ya was very calm and immediately stepped forward, using the Kuangfeng sword technique to wrap the masked man.

The masked man was more and more frightened at this time.

Because he found that his originally unobstructed blood circulation had problems, became much slower, and sometimes inexplicably out of control.

This caused his moves to be in chaos.

So he was soon chopped by Zhao Ya several times.

Although he had rich experience and profound accumulation, he still dodged it at the last moment.

But he was not always so lucky.

For example, this time.

When Zhao Ya's blade had reached his throat, the masked man finally reacted and dodged with all his strength, barely avoiding the vital part.

But although he avoided the vital part, his shoulder fell.

With a sizzling sound, the sharp blade cut through the clothes on the shoulder, slashed the flexible skin, and left a deep wound.

Even a warrior who had mastered the skin polishing was powerless to fight against a precious weapon like the Meteorite Knife.

The masked man groaned, covered the wound on his shoulder, and blood flowed through his fingers.

But he couldn't care less at this time.

He tried his best to activate his blood and qi, and took advantage of this last chance to wipe his head and run away.

But even before he was poisoned, his body speed was not as fast as Zhao Ya's.

Let alone now.

Zhao Ya followed closely behind him, but was not in a hurry to kill him with his sword.

After all, even rabbits bite when they are anxious, let alone a fourth-level warrior.

So Zhao Ya's strategy was to cut the flesh with a soft knife, and consume his physical strength bit by bit.

This was a long chase.

After more than an hour, the sun was already setting.

Zhao Ya chased the masked man to the edge of a cliff.

At this time, the masked man had long lost his initial arrogance. He was covered with scars and blood, and was extremely embarrassed.

Before and after arriving at this cliff, a flash of despair flashed across the masked man's face.

Because now he is truly in a state of no way to heaven and no door to earth.

He stared at Zhao Ya with a look of choosing and devouring people.

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of killing me?"

Zhao Ya shook his head.

"Haha, my Paradise Sect is not one of those rubbish sects. If you kill me, this will definitely alert the high-level members of the sect, and they will avenge me." The masked man said viciously.

"Sounds familiar!"

"Huh?" The masked man was stunned.

"When Han Suyu died, she said something similar to you, saying that someone would avenge her, but in the end..."

Zhao Ya smiled slightly, and the meaning behind it was already very clear.

It was to mock the masked man's self-confidence and arrogance.

The masked man was almost angry and vomited blood.

But now, he didn't even know how to refute it.

Because what Zhao Ya said seemed to be the truth.

"Don't think I'm threatening you with lies. Someone will definitely avenge me in the future. Just wait!"

After saying that, the masked man turned around and jumped off the cliff.

It turned out that he knew he was no match for Zhao Ya, and didn't want to die in Zhao Ya's hands, so he chose this way to commit suicide.

Zhao Ya walked quickly to the edge of the cliff and saw that there was a lot of mist below, which was obviously very high.

Ordinary people would definitely die if they jumped down, even a fourth-level warrior would have a hard time surviving.

But Zhao Ya did not have the slightest fluke mentality.

He wanted to see the person alive or dead.

He would never and could not stop until he saw the body of the masked man.

After all, if he escaped, wouldn't his previous efforts be in vain?

Zhao Ya turned around and looked around, and saw that there was a steep slope at the edge of the cliff.

Although the slope was still very steep, at least he could land.

So Zhao Ya used his light-as-a-swallow body movement and went down the steep slope to the bottom of the cliff.

At the same time, in the county city, people came and went in front of Dingtai Martial Arts Hall, which was very lively.

"Renyong Martial Arts Hall is here!"

"Beifeng Martial Arts Hall is here!"

"Zhenshan Boxing Hall is here!"

With shouts, almost all the well-known martial arts masters in the county city came.

Lu Dingtai stood in front of the door, happily welcoming guests from all sides.

"Congratulations to Master Lu for having another talented apprentice. He has advanced to the fourth level at such a young age. His future is really limitless." Shang Tiefeng, the master of Renyong Martial Arts Hall, said with a smile.

Following behind him was his eldest apprentice Nie Jingnian.

Hearing this, Lu Dingtai laughed.

"Thank you Master Shang for your kind words. Please come in!"

Shen Dao went up to greet him and said hello to Nie Jingnian, and was about to lead them to the reception room.

At this moment, a shout came from the front of the door.

"Chenfeng Martial Arts Hall is here!"
