Free Web NovelThe not-so-large inn instantly transformed into a Shura field as saber light and sword shadows flashed.
Zuoqiu Yang’s short saber at his waist was enchanting and stunning; with a flash, a life vanished.
When the saber howled, it made one feel as if their heart was being gnawed by ants.
“So strong.”
Xiao Qin’s heart slightly trembled. The opponent’s Killing Intent was astonishing. If it were a fight to the death, he wasn’t confident he could win against him.
Master once said that he was considered an outstanding Genius among his peers.
But Lao Xiao always felt himself to be unremarkable.
He used to think it was because he was in Qingyuan Sect, a place of outstanding talents, but now that he had descended the mountain, he actually encountered this person again.
“It truly is the Life-Extinguishing Saber Technique; he has actually cultivated it to Perfection at his age.”
Martial Venerable Qianxing let out a light gasp of surprise, also feeling astonished by Zuoqiu Yang.
“Do you recognize his martial arts style?”
“Nonsense, if I didn’t recognize it, why would I remind you?” freёwebnovel.com
“Master, then this inn is not right, why didn’t you remind me?”
Xiao Qin stood in a corner to take cover.
Hidden weapons flew chaotically, forcing him to pick up his broken sword and brandish it.
“These don’t even count as unranked assassins.”
“And they’re not here to kill you.”
Xiao Qin nodded. He hadn't received a Hall Courtyard Swallow mission, and no innocent people were caught up in this place either.
However...
Suddenly, a hidden weapon he had knocked back pierced the chest of some unlucky fellow.
“This thick-browed, big-eyed fellow, I always felt he was with Zuoqiu Yang!”
“Kill him!”
A portion of the saber light and sword shadows swept towards Xiao Qin.
Martial Venerable Qianxing smiled faintly:
“Now they are.”
“.....”
Xiao Qin was speechless and was forced to join the battle.
Both of them were Geniuses in the Inner Breath Realm who could fight above their level.
And this group of disguised assassins didn’t even have an Inner Breath Jade Liquid Realm practitioner.
The outcome was naturally self-evident.
This skirmish quickly came to an end.
The inn was littered with corpses. Aside from the disguised chef and Shopkeeper who escaped, all the others lay dead here.
Zuoqiu Yang heavily sat back down, wiped the blood from his face, and began to eat his noodles in silence, even pushing all the beef into Xiao Qin’s bowl before eating.
“Is this a thank you?”
Xiao Qin sat down, his mouth twitching slightly.
Zuoqiu Yang gulped down his noodles and shook his head:
“No, but I can give you a piece of advice.”
“It’s still not too late to leave now. Those who come to kill me later won’t be those weaklings from just now.”
“More people are coming?”
Xiao Qin fell into contemplation.
But, he still had to wait for someone here.
Seeing him not move, Zuoqiu Yang frowned:
“Have you heard of the Huai Mountain Three Fiends?”
“I have heard of Huai Mountain, there’s a town there.”
Xiao Qin shook his head. He had been in Qingyuan Sect for several years and didn’t know much about the outside world.
The reason he remembered Huai Mountain Town was because he had passed through there when traveling from Manhe Prefecture to Ziyang Prefecture.
Zuoqiu Yang’s expression shifted slightly:
“The town... is gone. Not even chickens and dogs were left. Three years ago, it was occupied by a group of bandits.”
“The bandit leaders call themselves the Huai Mountain Three Fiends. They are biological brothers and are skilled in combined attack techniques.”
As he spoke, he clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.
“Oh?”
Xiao Qin’s expression moved slightly:
“Don’t the government and the Sect care?”
He hadn’t seen similar missions in the Outer Affairs Hall either.
A sneer appeared on Zuoqiu Yang’s lips:
“Huai Mountain is located at the border between two prefectures. The Ziyang government says Huai Mountain Town is closer to Manhe Prefecture and isn’t their responsibility. The Manhe government says Huai Mountain Town is separated from their prefecture by a river, and villagers go to Ziyang Prefecture for everything, so it should be managed by Ziyang Prefecture.”
“They keep arguing back and forth, I don’t know if they forgot or if they still haven’t sorted it out.”
Speaking of this, he glanced at the corpses on the ground and muttered to himself:
“It’s a pity, the Huai Mountain Three Fiends are only accomplices. The person who killed my Master, I still haven’t found them...”
As if sensing his sorrow and hatred.
The short saber at his waist actually began to hum softly at this moment.
The Killing Intent in the hall rose again, making one shiver.
“Go, this is for your own good.”
Zuoqiu Yang’s voice, filled with Evil Qi, came through, almost devoid of humanity.
Xiao Qin couldn’t help but feel his heart sink slightly.
Martial Venerable Qianxing sighed and said:
“The Life-Extinguishing Saber Technique, it kills others, kills oneself, and is devoid of emotion and nature. It is a high-grade martial art of the Rain Listening Pavilion.”
“But those who cultivate this saber technique usually don’t have a good end. They either die at the hands of others or at their own hands.”
“He’s telling you to leave because he’s afraid that if he goes crazy later, he’ll even cut you down.”
Xiao Qin: “.....”
Well, so that’s how it’s for my own good.
After Zuoqiu Yang finished speaking, he remained silent, quietly accumulating Evil Qi to bring his Aura to its peak.
At this moment.
Three more figures passed through the rain curtain, getting closer and closer, it’s just that...
Their speed was a bit fast?
Bang—
Two extremely miserable figures, like broken sacks, flew into the inn, heavily smashing a pile of tables, chairs, and benches.
They were precisely the chef and Shopkeeper who had just escaped.
Now, they were barely breathing, their faces filled with terror as if they had seen ghosts.
“Huai Mountain Three Fiends?”
Zuoqiu Yang’s pupils dilated, his mind stagnated, and he almost fainted.
Bang—bang—
Several more figures crashed in.
This time there were three people, somewhat similar in appearance, each with a sunken chest.
Zuoqiu Yang’s expression solidified.
It was only then that Xiao Qin smacked his lips and walked to the door:
“Junior Brother Li, is that you?”
“Sorry, Senior Brother Xiao, I’m late.”
A young man walked in through the door. Although he had come from the heavy rain and had defeated the Huai Mountain Three Fiends, who together could fight a Mystic Core Inner Breath Realm Master, his clothes were spotless, as if he were a Young Master out for a spring outing.
It was Li Mo.
He glanced at the mess on the ground, raised an eyebrow, then rubbed his stomach and spoke:
“Where’s the waiter? Where did he hide?”
“The waiter is here.”
Xiao Qin pointed to the ground with some shame.
He had killed him.
“Where’s the Shopkeeper?”
“That fat guy you just sent flying in is him.”
“So the one next to him... is the chef?”
“That’s right, Brother Li, you’re so smart.”
“.....What’s going on here?”
.....
Fifteen minutes ago.
A carriage from Qingyuan Sect was harmlessly driving down the road.
“People from other Sects should already be in the Fu City.”
“How much longer until we arrive?”
It was Li Mo’s first time driving a carriage down the mountain by himself, and he couldn’t quite remember the way. There was no navigation back then.
So he lifted the curtain ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) and looked inside.
Ying Bing took out the map Qian Bufan had given her from her embrace.
She looked down at it, then lightly touched a spot with her delicate hand.
Li Mo pondered.
It was a bit far.
By the way, why would they choose a place so far from the Fu City to meet up?
Then he saw.
That slender, jade-like finger paused, lifted, and then pointed to another spot.
Li Mo looked up, confused, and saw that the Ice Cube was pursing her lips, her expression clearly uncertain.
After a moment of silence.
She then softly asked: freewebnσvel.cѳm
“Isn’t... it?”
“We’re not descending the mountain to visit relatives, right?”
“Mm.”
“Then why are you pointing to my house?”
“.....”
Helpless, Li Mo had no choice but to ask for directions.
So he found a few people waiting at the intersection, seemingly conversing there.
At first, he thought that although they were a bit ugly, they were quite nice.
Upon learning that they were lost, they actually offered to lead the way.
Who knew that as soon as they reached the inn entrance, they revealed their true colors, with fierce expressions.
And they let out ‘hehehe’ laughter.
What kind of good person laughs like that?
