Li Rui smiled and said: "But I am alone and weak, how can I be Bai Heng's opponent?"

"You don't need to worry about this. As long as the three cities of Haizhou are in your hands, Bai Heng will not dare to do anything to you."

"How do you say this?"

Yuan Jian gave Qin Henan a look and said, "He Nan, it's up to you to speak."

"It's like this. Fang Jianren, the former director of the Haizhou Office, fled privately and neglected his duties. He has been dismissed and investigated." Qin Henan explained: "The original position of director of the Jiangnan Four Prefecture Offices has always been firmly controlled by the Bai family's confidants.

It can be said that water cannot be poured out, and this time it just gives us the opportunity to break the convention. The national government has issued an appointment document, and I will be the new director of the Haizhou Office."

"You should understand now." Yuan Jian said with a smile: "Today in Haizhou, the situation has quietly changed. Although He Nan has a shallow foundation, she has the support of the head of state behind her, and Bai Heng does not dare to act rashly against her.

But having said that, we can’t act too hastily. Once Bai Heng is pushed into a hurry, it will not be good for anyone.”

"So, you want me to check and balance him, right?"

"It's convenient to deal with smart people." Yuan Jian nodded.

"It is up to you to restrain Bai Heng. You will not pose too much of a threat or irritation to him, but you can also coordinate with us to gain greater strategic initiative."

"I can agree to cooperate, but I have a request."

"But it doesn't matter."

"I want the whereabouts of Ma Xinglong."

Yuan Jian looked at Qin Henan, suddenly laughed, and said: "He Nan, it seems that you really know our Director Li very well, and you even guessed this."

Li Rui felt confused and asked, "What's wrong? Did you know I would make this request?"

"Yes, He Nan told me this morning that you would definitely make this request."

Li Rui looked at Qin Henan in confusion and asked, "How did Director Qin know?"

"Ma Xinglong killed so many innocent people in Guicun, and you and he are like fire and water. How could Chairman Li, who has such a deep hatred and a clear distinction between love and hate, not retaliate?" Qin Henan said with a smile.

"Where is the other person?" Li Rui asked.

"Last night, Bai Heng dispatched the 'Ten Ice-Drinking Elders' of the Heart Flower Club, and Ma Xinglong was rescued by them. We received accurate information, and now Ma Xinglong is hiding in the Heart Flower Club to recover from his injuries."

"Ten old men drinking ice?!" Li Rui clenched his fists tightly, and his anger instantly ignited.

"Every one of the ten old men in Yin Bing is a top master. We don't recommend that you come directly to our door." Qin Henan said.

"You two don't have to worry about it!"

Xinhua Mountain, towering into the clouds, is the head of the mountains in Tongxin City, where B-level College Xinhua Club is located.

Xinhua Society has many branches, and its headquarters is located on the top of this mountain. It is built against the mountain. It is majestic and breathtaking.

Li Rui was alone, carrying a sword on his back, and slowly walked towards the top of the mountain.

At this time, the Xinhua Club was empty, and there was no one inside.

It wasn't until Li Rui walked into the main hall that he finally saw his incompatible enemy - Ma Xinglong in this luxurious hall made of marble.

The main hall is tens of meters high and is as big as a football field. Above it is a raised dome, supported by eight marble pillars. Li Rui entered the hall from the door and saw a step in front of the hall from a distance.

It is three or four meters high. There is a chair on the steps and a person is sitting there.

This person is none other than Ma Xinglong.

"Li Rui, you are finally here."

"Why, are you alone?"

"Thank you for your gift."

"You deserve it."

"Then stop talking nonsense. Today, I want you to see my true strength!"

After saying that, Ma Xinglong slapped the handrail, suddenly jumped into the air, and was in front of Li Rui in the blink of an eye.

Li Rui immediately drew out his Wushuang Sword, and struck Ma Xinglong with a sword energy. However, Ma Xinglong did not dodge at all, and actually dispersed the powerful sword energy with a wave of his hand.

"What?" Li Rui was shocked.

"Hahaha, that's surprising." Ma Xinglong said proudly: "I have recovered, and with my strength now, killing you is as easy as squeezing an ant to death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Xinglong formed a seal with his hands and silently recited a mantra. Suddenly, a strong wind rose from the ground in the hall. As the strong wind blew, powerful zhenqi surged in it.

"Today I will let you see how powerful I am!"

Ma Xinglong waved one arm, and the strong wind immediately surrounded Li Rui. Li Rui could only use his sword to block the strong Qi, but even so, the Qi was like the wind, everywhere, and soon it was difficult for him to parry it.

.

"Damn it!" Li Rui tried to calm down, "No matter how powerful he is, you can always find his weakness."

At this moment, Ma Xinglong shouted, "Here comes the knife!"

In an instant, a machete was in his hand.

"Jing Ji, Jing Ji, today I will use his blood to sacrifice the sword!"

Li Rui concentrated his energy, gathered all the energy in his body, and concentrated it all into the Wushuang Sword. Then he shouted loudly and swung out the sword energy and Gangfeng to strike with all his strength.

Finally, the strong wind dissipated into nothingness.

"Jingji Knife?" Li Rui looked at the knife in Ma Xinglong's hand and said in surprise.

"You can break my Huntian Gangfeng, which proves that you have some strength, but if you want to catch my Jingji Sword, it is absolutely impossible for you!"

Li Rui once heard Gao Jian say that the "Top Ten Weapons" were on the list, and the Jingji Sword, like the Wushuang Sword, was on the list. According to legend, the Jingji Sword was originally inserted into a meteorite from the sky, and it remained lonely for hundreds of years, and no one could pull it out.

Due to a hundred years of loneliness, the sharp edge has been restrained, so those who hold the knife will be injured.

In the past, even though countless masters used their internal strength to compete with the sword, they still ended up with broken meridians. Later, the sword was pulled out by the world's best swordsman Huangfu and became a world-renowned magic weapon. But in the past hundred years,

The Jingji Knife disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and no one knew its whereabouts.

"How will you know if you don't try!" Li Rui snorted coldly.

Ma Xinglong didn't say much and just slashed down with his knife. The overbearing force of the knife instantly shattered the marble floor, forming a crack more than ten meters long on the ground.

Li Rui dodged Ma Xinglong's fatal knife with a light body, and while he was moving forward with inertia, his left hand had already become a fist, and a black tiger took out his heart, and hit Ma Xinglong on the back!

This punch is so powerful that it can crack mountains and crack rocks!

But Ma Xinglong only staggered a little, swayed, and then stabilized his figure. This time, he did not act rashly, but looked at Li Ruilai again.

Li Rui also praised in his heart. Although he did not use all his strength in the punch just now, most people would be crippled if they received this punch, but Ma Xinglong only shook his body and was not injured at all.

This round of attacks allowed Ma Xinglong to fully feel Li Rui's strength.

And Li Rui also felt Ma Xinglong's strength, and he began to deal with it with all his heart. He only saw the enemy and himself, and nothing else. This was a sign that he valued his opponent.

This attack seemed to be evenly matched by both sides, but in fact Li Rui had lost.

In that flash of lightning, being able to perform such complex movements really shows his skill. However, Ma Xinglong was not injured at all, which further proves his great strength.

Li Rui held the hilt of the sword tightly, and the true energy in his body once again gathered on the sword body, but this time he did not choose to strike out with the sword, but instead continuously stored the sword energy in the sword body.

As the sword energy continues to accumulate, Wushuang Sword also begins to react.

Gao Jian once said that all magical weapons have their "original power".

Relying on his own strength alone, Li Rui may not be able to compete with Ma Xinglong, so he must rely on the power of the Wushuang Sword.

But doing so is also very risky - the user is likely to be counterattacked by the magic weapon.

It is very likely that you will be injured by the magic weapon before the power of the magic weapon is activated.

Sure enough, Li Rui's hands shook violently, a deep gash opened in the tiger's mouth, and blood flowed gurglingly.

The Wushuang Sword is like a bloodthirsty demon, greedily absorbing Li Rui's blood.

In the end, Li Rui could no longer bear the backlash of the Wushuang Sword, shouted loudly, and struck Ma Xinglong with an extremely strong sword energy.

Ma Xinglong obviously did not expect that Li Rui would use the sword energy of Wushuang Sword. At this time, it was too late for him to defend, so he immediately raised the Jingji Sword to block.

Although the Jingji Sword is a divine weapon, the Wushuang Sword has already stimulated the "original power" at this moment. In the face of the powerful sword energy, the defense of the divine weapon itself is simply insignificant.

In an instant, the sword energy swallowed up Ma Xinglong.

The main hall was directly split open with a sword.

Ma Xinglong was also blown away by the sword energy, and he didn't know where he went.

Li Rui hurriedly chased after him.

There was a cliff outside the hall. Before he could find Ma Xinglong, a domineering sword attack suddenly struck him, sending him flying and hitting him heavily against the rock wall.

This is a platform the size of a basketball court, with cliffs on three sides.

"Boy, the sword strike just now was your last strength, right?"

Li Rui struggled to get up and glared at Ma Xinglong fiercely.

I saw that half of Ma Xinglong's face had been distorted, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he looked extremely ferocious.

"Suffer death!"
