My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 373 - 203: Uncle Xu, Let Me Test How Powerful the Innate Realm Is
"Yes, we will get ready and head over tomorrow."
After explaining some details to everyone, Li Hengsheng returned first.
Originally expecting a tough battle today, Li Hengsheng didn’t anticipate resolving it so quickly, thanks to his previous unintentional rescue of Lin Qizhu’s sister. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been this simple.
Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Marquis Yan was incessantly narrating some heroic deeds of his grandfather to Li Hengsheng.
Li Hengsheng listened calmly, but as they neared the city gate, he became vigilant.
At the same time, he reminded Xu Kui to be careful, as there was a high chance of an assassination attempt.
Hearing Li Hengsheng’s warning, Xu Kui became cautious as well.
Three miles outside Tushan City.
There was a river, not very large, with an old wooden bridge that had seen better days. As the carriage drove onto the bridge, the wood creaked, as if it could be crushed under a heavy load at any moment.
Creak.
The sound made one’s heart anxious, as if it would collapse any second.
But at that moment, with a creak, a figure descended from the sky!
It was a man in black, masked so his face couldn’t be seen, but the Innate True Essence emanating from him was particularly astounding.
The oppressive force seemed to want to crush the entire carriage into the river.
"Hmph!"
With Li Hengsheng’s prior warning, Xu Kui was fully alert, so when the black-clad figure arrived, Xu Kui was not the least bit surprised. Facing the palm strike from the black-clad man, Xu Kui responded with a punch.
Within the force of the punch, there was a faint sound like a wolf howling!
The clash of their Innate True Essence produced a resounding sonic boom in the air.
The black-clad man clearly didn’t expect there to be an Innate expert at Li Hengsheng’s side. The two of them were quite evenly matched; Xu Kui’s punch caused the black-clad man to flip sideways in midair, leaving the bridge and landing on the ground.
He steadied himself, with slightly furrowed brows above his pitch-black eyes.
The mission was to assassinate a Postnatal Perfection Li Hengsheng, but the intel hadn’t mentioned there being an Innate expert with him!
This made the situation complicated.
This Innate expert was quite strong, and his earlier punch seemed casual, not exerting his full strength. It would be challenging to kill Li Hengsheng under such a master’s watch.
The carriage had by then crossed the bridge.
Xu Kui stepped down from the carriage, staring at the black-clad man before him. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"How bold, daring to assassinate the Inspector!" Marquis Yan emerged from the carriage, still full of spirit despite his advanced age, showing no fear even though the opponent was an Innate expert.
Even Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but smile. The old Marquis really had a lot of integrity.
"What price did the Mu Mansion offer you to kill me?" Li Hengsheng stepped out of the carriage and asked with a smile, looking at the black-clad man.
The black-clad man said nothing.
"Quite tight-lipped. Ghost Wolf—is that how I should address you?" Li Hengsheng asked casually.
Upon hearing the name Ghost Wolf, a flash of shock appeared in the black-clad man’s eyes.
Clearly, he hadn’t expected Li Hengsheng to know him.
Not only Ghost Wolf, but even the Hua family and Mu Mansion people watching from afar were surprised at this scene.
How did Li Hengsheng know Ghost Wolf?
This Ghost Wolf was a secretly cultivated assassin by the Mu Mansion, having dealt with many of their dissenters. Only the higher-ups knew of this assassin’s existence. Moreover, few even knew the name Ghost Wolf.
Why did Li Hengsheng know?
Ghost Wolf’s gaze fixed firmly on Li Hengsheng. His target was Li Hengsheng, but with Xu Kui present, he had no opportunity.
Ghost Wolf hesitated, unsure of what to do.
"Perish," Xu Kui intended to act but was stopped by Li Hengsheng: "Uncle Xu."
Xu Kui paused and turned towards Li Hengsheng.
"Let me. I want to give it a try," Li Hengsheng said calmly.
Hearing this, Xu Kui was taken aback.
"Try what?" Xu Kui doubted his ears.
"Try Ghost Wolf’s strength," Li Hengsheng smiled. "I haven’t faced an Innate before, curious about his capability."
"Young master, are you crazy?"
Xu Kui couldn’t believe his ears.
Li Hengsheng was only at the Postnatal Perfection Realm, and it was already challenging to contend with the Postnatal Peak.
Facing an Innate?
It seemed impossible.
No matter how talented, the chances were slim.
"Rest assured, I have my considerations," Li Hengsheng had his plans.
The Innate Realm—he hadn’t truly clashed with it, but he had a rough assessment of their strength.
Moreover, Li Hengsheng knew that people from the Hua family and Mu Mansion were watching. To establish himself in White Snake Dao, he couldn’t rely solely on Xu Kui’s deterrence but needed his own capabilities.
He must show the Hua family and Mu Mansion that he wasn’t to be trifled with.
"Are you serious, young master?"
"Seriously."
Li Hengsheng nodded.
Seeing Li Hengsheng’s determination, Xu Kui was at a loss for words.
He could only step aside quietly, but remained highly vigilant, ready to rescue Li Hengsheng at the first sign of danger.
