The operation to surround and kill the underground gang had ended.

Apart from the Wild Wolf Sect chief and the Fierce Tiger Sect chief who escaped, the rest were killed in the woods of Xiao Tang Mountain.

After learning that two qi cultivating realm chiefs had escaped, Lu Yu felt that this operation was a failure. They had let go of two most dangerous enemies.

From Zhang Lun’s words, he learned that the escaping Fierce Tiger Sect chief was nothing to worry about. The chief used an unknown technique and burst out with great power at the last minute. After repelling the three squires, he jumped off the cliff and escaped.

This time, he was either dead or crippled. He was basically not a threat anymore. Right now, Zhang Lun had already arranged for guards to go down the cliff to search for traces of the Fierce Tiger Sect chief.

The sinister and cunning Fierce Tiger Sect chief, who was nearly at full strength, was the real worry in Lu Yu’s heart. From the many battles, it could be seen that the Fierce Tiger Sect chief would do anything to achieve his goal.

The Fierce Tiger Sect scattered lime to create chaos and escape. They didn’t even inform their other comrades. Even some of the members of the Fierce Tiger Sect and the Blood Blade Sect were blinded by the lime and lost their lives in the chaos.

Lu Yu believed that the usage of lime was the order from Hei Lang.

Looking at the experience points he had now, Lu Yu asked permission from Butler Zhang to look for the chief of the Fierce Tiger Sect who had jumped off the cliff to escape.

By killing the chief of the Fierce Tiger Sect, he might be able to get enough experience points to level up his cultivation technique.

While the others were looking for the chief of the Fierce Tiger Sect at the bottom of the cliff, Lu Yu observed the cliff where the chief had jumped off. He stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down.

The surface of the cliff was not flat. There were many trees that extended horizontally. It was also possible that the chief had not completely fallen off. Otherwise, the guards would have already found him after searching for a long time.

The chief of the Fierce Tiger Sect was already heavily injured. It was too difficult for him to move without leaving a trace.

Many people were searching at the bottom, yet there was still no trace of the chief of the Fierce Tiger Sect. Therefore, it was very likely that he was still halfway up the cliff.

Lu Yu took out a rope from his backpack and tied it to a big tree at the edge of the cliff. Then, he climbed down along the rope.

On the way down, Lu Yu saw the branches that were broken by the Fierce Tiger Sect chief and the leaves that were stained with fresh blood. When Lu Yu was halfway up, he was surprised to find that there was a stone platform that was blocked by trees.

He stopped descending and carefully observed the stone platform. Most of the stone platform was blocked by trees, he could not see the situation inside clearly. It seemed that the Fierce Tiger Sect chief was blocked by the stone platform and did not fall to the bottom.

Realizing that the Fierce Tiger Sect chief might be hiding in the bushes on the stone platform, Lu Yu did not dare to continue descending. He was not sure if he could deal with the severely injured chief.

After thinking for a moment, he tied the rope around his body and hung it in the air. He took out some spare clothes and stuffed the sack that he used to store sand. Then, he propped up the clothes.

He used a rope to tie up the clothes and made a dummy. He then dropped the dummy onto the stone platform.

“Die with me!”

The Fierce Tiger Sect chief roared and rushed out from the stone platform to jump down with the dummy. When he hugged the dummy, his face was filled with shock and confusion. He was completely dumbfounded.

He turned his head to look up and only saw a figure hanging in mid-air.

Lu Yu released the rope in his hand, his heart still palpitating with fear. Fortunately, he did not go down, or he would have died from the fall!

Bang! The Fierce Tiger Sect chief fell from the sky. He smashed onto the ground after breaking many tree branches, alerting the surrounding guards.

Following the gap created by the smash, the Fierce Tiger Sect chief looked at Lu Yu who had descended from the cliff. His eyes were as big as goose eggs, like a ferocious tiger that could kill at any time.

When Lu Yu was about to reach the ground, he released the rope in his hand. He was afraid that the Fierce Tiger Sect chief would die too quickly, and the game system would judge that the chief was dead because of suicide. By then, Lu Yu would not get any experience points, so he used his fastest speed to finish the job.

The chief of the Fierce Tiger Sect felt that he was going to die. When he was on the stone platform, he knew that he had no chance to live, so he chose to die together with the opponent.

But he did not expect that he was actually carrying a dummy. He was not reconciled. He wanted to know who was the one who tricked him! Who was it!

Then, he saw a knife, a knife that fell from the sky and hit him. He also saw the person’s face clearly, the person who was going to take away his last wish. Then, he took his last breath.

[You have killed a qi cultivating realm second level martial art cultivator, obtained 1,472 experience points]

[You have obtained achievement! Your combat strength is astonishing — you have killed an opponent at much higher realm than you. Reward: 5,000 experience points]

Lu Yu pulled out the knife that was stuck in the Fierce Tiger Sect chief’s body. He was very surprised. He had never thought that killing the Fierce Tiger Sect chief would bring him such a huge reward.

This was the first time he knew about the achievement system. However, from the first achievement that he had obtained, it could be seen that its difficulty was very high. Moreover, the achievement was hidden, so he could not know the requirements to achieve it.

They carried the body of the leader of the Fierce Tiger Sect chief back to the Han Residence. When Butler Zhang learned that Lu Yu had tricked the Fierce Tiger Sect chief into jumping off a cliff to his death with a dummy, he praised Lu Yu greatly.

Under the suggestion of Butler Zhang and Han Yaozong, Lu Yu was accepted by Han Yaozu as a disciple of the Han family with a different surname. He had the same rights as a member of the Han family and could regain his freedom.

He could freely enter and leave the Han Residence. If he contributed enough, he could exchange for any cultivation technique or martial skills in the Han Residence’s depository.

Butler Zhang even gave him a secret skill that he had found on the Fierce Tiger Sect chief as a reward. However, Lu Yu asked Butler Zhang to not announce his achievement to the public.

He was afraid that he would be targeted by Yang Xiu and the escaped Hei Lang. He just wanted to quietly make a fortune.

Lu Yu took the Fierce Tiger Sect chief’s secret skill and flipped through it.
