He sneered lewdly at Tao Ying and Tao Hui: "No need to panic, my dear nieces, your uncle will take good care of you..."
Having done this many times, He Chuan was completely shameless when saying such things.
Tao Ying and Tao Hui were terrified, as He Chuan, who had earlier seemed so respectable and dignified, suddenly spoke so lewdly and wantonly, as if he had become a different person.
He Chuan was laughing heartily when suddenly a flash of sword light appeared at his feet. He realized something was wrong and retreated hastily, but it was too late.
Lying on the ground, a peculiar reverse-handed sword strike slashed upward with the longsword, leaving a long sword mark on He Chuan's lower abdomen.
As He Chuan pushed with all his might, the sword mark on his body split open, and his organs spilled out onto the ground with a gush.
The bloody scene stunned everyone. Third Lady stared at the blood-drenched He Chuan in disbelief, feeling as if the sky had fallen. She couldn't understand how it had come to this.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly in praise: "Excellent swordsmanship."
Third Lady turned her head and saw Gao Xuan glide in through the main door, clapping his hands with a face full of schadenfreude.
Third Lady suddenly realized that it must have been Gao Xuan who had informed on them, causing their plot to fail and allowing the prepared Tao Zhengren to assassinate He Chuan with a single stroke.
"It was you, you deserve to die..." Third Lady screamed at Gao Xuan, preparing to settle the score.
"Yes, it was I, the righteous Young Hero Gao, who exposed the evil plot of you vile people!"
Gao Xuan spoke forcefully, yet showed no intention of making a move.
"It's you who deserve to die."
Tao Zhengren, a veteran of the Jianghu, once he had taken action, he showed no mercy. He thrust his sword directly at Third Lady.
Knowing she was no match, Third Lady hastily executed her body technique to retreat rapidly. Tao Zhengren suddenly let out a low shout, his voice like an invisible sharp cone piercing directly into Third Lady's ears, causing her vision to blacken suddenly and her retreating movement to halt momentarily.
Tao Zhengren's treasure sword thrust straight ahead, piercing through Third Lady's heart.
Before Third Lady could react, Tao Zhengren slapped her aside with his left hand. The woman spewed blood and fell to the ground, dying on the spot.
The remaining disciples of He Chuan were terrified and fled towards the outside of the main gate.
Tao Zhengren said coldly: "Outwardly just, yet full of evil deeds. I cannot let you go!"
Having almost been ambushed by He Chuan, Tao Zhengren was truly enraged. The fact that the other party coveted his two cherished daughters only made his anger more intense. This fueled Tao Zhengren's desire to kill.
The Four Great Swordsmen of Jiangnan were not to be trifled with. Once the conflict broke out, Tao Zhengren would show no mercy.
The martial abilities of He Chuan's disciples were mediocre compared to Tao Zhengren. With He Chuan and Third Lady both killed, the remaining disciples were terrified to the core, having no courage to fight back.
Seeing Tao Zhengren approach, the disciples scattered, fleeing towards the main gate.
Tao Zhengren caught up and dispatched three of them in an instant.
The last remaining disciple had almost reached the main gate.
"Where do you think you're going, thief!"
Gao Xuan shouted loudly, sending a flying saber.
In a panic, the man swung his sword to deflect it, but the flying saber traced a subtle arc. With that slight adjustment, the flying saber slipped past the longsword and embedded itself in the man's throat, the four-inch saber sinking in up to the hilt.

Clutching his throat, the man fell to the ground, not dying immediately, his legs twitching, eyes rolling back.
Tao Zhengren approached and pierced his heart with a sword, ending the man's misery.
He held his sword crosswise, looking coldly at Gao Xuan: "Boy, who exactly are you?"
Gao Xuan respectfully cupped his fist towards Tao Zhengren: "I am Gao Xuan, known as the Jade-faced Little Divine Dragon. We are all righteous heroes, and when comrades face trouble, we should draw our swords to help. Hero Tao, there's no need to thank me."
