He will be able to reach Wuxi in another day's journey.
Just then, two middle-aged men riding two fast horses came galloping towards them from not far away.
Li Yao's gaze was immediately drawn to the appearance and aura of the two people.
The person walking in front was very tall, with black hair and wearing a blue robe. He had a long face, and his complexion was snow-white, without a trace of blood. He had delicate features, but his face was so pale that it was frightening, as if he were a zombie that had just come out of the grave.
The person walking behind was slender yet elegant, with a sparse, long, white beard hanging down to his chest.
If it were just based on looks, she wouldn't have attracted Li Yao's attention.
However, the rich aura of these two immediately stirred something in Li Yao's heart.
Clearly, these two possess profound internal strength and should be top experts in this world.
There aren't many masters like this in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area.
In addition, one of them had a face like a zombie.
This immediately reminded Li Yao of someone.
Thinking this, the two people coming towards them were already right in front of them.
Li Yao immediately spurred his horse to block the road and reined it in.
The two men were taken aback and hurriedly reined in their horses.
The middle-aged man, looking like a zombie, angrily pointed at Li Yao and shouted, "You brat, how dare you block my way? Do you want to die?"
The middle-aged man behind him also shouted angrily, "Kid, get out of the way, or you'll cause trouble."
Li Yao smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, asking, "May I ask if you two are from Hangzhou?"
Both of them were taken aback.
The middle-aged zombie became wary and asked, "Who are you?"
Seeing their expressions, Li Yao became even more certain.
He didn't answer the question, but instead said, "Are you in such a hurry to get to Blackwood Cliff?"
This time, the two were even more surprised.
They exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
The middle-aged zombie looked Li Yao up and down and asked in a deep voice, "Are you a remnant of Dongfang Bubai?"
At this point, Li Yao had basically confirmed the identities of the two people in front of him.
The middle-aged zombie should be Ren Woxing, who was imprisoned by Dongfang Bubai in Plum Manor in Hangzhou.
The other person is Ren Woxing's capable assistant, Xiang Wentian.
Li Yao never expected to run into these two people here.
This luck is simply incredible!
It seems his good fortune wasn't for nothing.
Originally, he planned to eliminate Prince Ning and then go to Meizhuang in Hangzhou to eliminate Ren Woxing, this ambitious man.
Now that Ren Woxing has come knocking on his door, he's saved the trouble of making a special trip to Hangzhou.
In the original novel, with Linghu Chong's help, Xiang Wentian switched Ren Woxing with another man and rescued him from the clutches of the Four Friends of Jiangnan.
In fact, with Xiang Wentian's martial arts skills, he could have easily killed the Four Friends of Jiangnan and rescued Ren Woxing.
However, he worried that doing so would alert Dongfang Bubai.
Therefore, in the original work, he used Linghu Chong to switch the dragon with the phoenix and secretly rescue Ren Woxing.
Now, Dongfang Bubai has been killed by Li Yao.
Li Yao guessed that Xiang Wentian had most likely learned of Dongfang Bubai's death, so he immediately came to Plum Manor in Hangzhou, killed the Four Friends of Jiangnan, and rescued Ren Woxing.
Since Ren Woxing was right in front of him, Li Yao naturally showed no mercy and decided to eliminate him completely.
However, he still confirmed the other party's identity again to avoid killing an innocent person.
So he said bluntly, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be Ren Woxing, the former leader of the Demonic Sect."
A murderous glint flashed in Ren Woxing's eyes, and he suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly, "Hahaha... I never thought there would still be someone in this world who remembers the old man..."
Before he could finish speaking, he slapped Li Yao with his palm.
As the saying goes: strike first and you'll be strong!
Ren Woxing couldn't discern Li Yao's true strength.
However, since Li Yao has recognized him, Li Yao must die.
He can't be from some prestigious sect or follow any rules of the martial arts world.
He doesn't care what means he uses as long as he achieves his goal.
"A sneak attack?"
"You underestimate me!"
In fact, Li Yao had long seen through Ren Woxing's thoughts.
Just as Ren Woxing struck out with his palm, Li Yao also gently pushed out his own palm towards Ren Woxing.
boom!
The two palm strikes collided, and the enormous impact forced Ren Woxing to somersault backward and land on the ground.
This outcome was completely unexpected for Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian.
They originally thought Li Yao was just a third-rate figure in the martial arts world, at most a second-rate one.
However, the immense internal force contained in Li Yao's palm strike forced them to re-evaluate the young man before them.
Ren Woxing steadied himself and asked again, "Who exactly are you?"
Li Yao laughed and said, "The one who will take your life!"
Ren Woxing's eyes blazed with fury as he roared, "Arrogant!"
If you don't have profound internal strength, I'll use the "Star Absorbing Technique" to absorb all your internal strength and see how arrogant you can still be.
Perfect timing, it's been over a decade since I last absorbed any internal energy.
You're out of luck, kid, for daring to mess with me!
Ren Woxing's face contorted in a ferocious expression, and a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, he formed his five fingers into hooks and grabbed at Li Yao.
Instantly, a powerful suction force arose in his palm, determined to drain all of Li Yao's internal energy.
"The Star Absorbing Technique?!"
Li Yao felt the suction force from Ren Woxing's palm, smiled, and said, "Perfect, I also know this kind of kung fu. Let's see who has better skills."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out with his right hand and grabbed at Ren Woxing.
Instantly, a tremendous suction force erupted from his palm.
Ren Woxing was greatly alarmed.
He felt as if the internal energy within his body was bursting forth like a flood that had broken its banks.
"No! No! Impossible!"
Ren Woxing found it unbelievable.
He had cultivated the Star Absorbing Technique for decades and believed that no one could withstand him.
Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to absorb any of Li Yao's internal energy, but his own internal energy was instead absorbed by Li Yao.
He could sense that what Li Yao was using was definitely not the Star Absorbing Technique.
Could it be... the legendary Absorption Technique of the Strange Hero of Tianchi?
"Master!"
Just a moment ago, Xiang Wentian thought Li Yao was doomed.
But the next moment, he realized something was wrong.
He immediately slapped Li Yao with his palm.
Li Yao didn't even glance at Xiang Wentian. He grabbed at the air with his left hand, and a huge suction force pulled Xiang Wentian in.
Immediately, Xiang Wentian was horrified to discover that his internal energy was being continuously and violently released.
"Who...who...are you?"
Ren Woxing's face was contorted as he weakly asked.
Before he died, he desperately wanted to know who had killed him.
Otherwise, he would die with regrets.
Unfortunately, as soon as he asked the question, Li Yao drained his life force.
Li Yao blasted Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian, who had turned into dried corpses, into dust with a single palm strike.

Wuxi City.
The end of a street.
In front of a spacious mansion.
At that moment, Li Yao stood in front of the mansion and looked up at the plaque above the gate.
The two large characters "Hua Mansion" on the gate plaque are particularly eye-catching.
"This is Washington, D.C."
Li Yao smiled slightly.
