Then, he walked to an empty table in the corner of the hall and sat down.
The servant first brought the wine and tea over and said,"Young hero, the food will have to wait for a while.”
"I don't know what's going on today, but there are so many people in the shop.”
the servant said casually.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy.
Lin Xuan chuckled and said,"It might be raining soon, so the people who are rushing here are staying in the hotel."”
"Besides, isn't it a good thing to have more customers?"
"Young hero is right."
The servant nodded with a smile and went to the kitchen.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip. His eyes sized up the people at the other tables without any restraint.
Anyone who caught his gaze would lower their heads and pretend as if nothing had happened.
"Have you heard? It seemed that the soul-chasing sword was in Kaifeng City now.”
A young swordsman at the table on the left said in a low voice,""Right now, both the black and white masters in Kaifeng City are looking for him.”
"Whoever finds it first will get the 40,000 taels reward from the three underworld families.”
"I wonder where this guy is hiding?”
The swordsman's companion said," I'm afraid we won't be so lucky. I heard that in order to get the silver, the masters of the three sects and four sects have all been mobilized. There are also several Dark Sects. Even many old monsters who have retired from Jianghu have been alarmed."”
"Yesterday, I saw the black and white monk at the city gate.”
"I heard that the Bamboo Staff Man from the South Sea is also here.”
"Really? Didn't Bamboo Staff Man retire from Jianghu ten years ago?”
"Of course it's true. It's said that the three big families paid a lot of money to hire him. Before that Bamboo Staff Man retired from Jianghu, he was the most famous underworld figure in Jiangnan.”
More and more people began to talk in low voices.
"It's not just Bamboo Staff Man, I heard that the Northwest Demon Breaker Fu Qing, the Monolith Cracking Fu Wen, and the Mountain Breaker Fu Wu are here as well.”
"There's also Jian Nan Sect's Qingyun Sword, Tang Sect of Ba Shu, and even the Five Mountain Sword Sect who sent their experts into Kaifeng.”
"This time, the experts of both the black and white paths have gathered. Even if this Soul Chasing Life Seizing Sword has ten lives, it won't be enough.”
"Rumble! Rumble!"
"Rumble! Rumble!"
The lightning was violent, the sky was hazy, the wind was howling, and the vast rain came one after another.
Bean-sized raindrops fell and hit the roof tiles.
The curtain of rain was like a ferocious beast that swallowed the earth in an instant. In the blink of an eye, it formed dense lines.
As far as the eye could see, it was raining endlessly.
Rainwater dripped down from the eaves like a curtain and hit the steps. The candlelight in the hall fluctuated.
"Ta."
"Ta"
The crisp sound of footsteps was unusually clear in the wind and rain. An old man wearing a straw raincoat stopped in front of the inn.
The servant went up to him and asked,"Do you want to stay in the inn or do you want to wait?"”
"Point."
The lightning illuminated the old man's face. He was in his seventies or eighties, with white hair. He held a green bamboo cane in his hand.
"Please come in."
The servant welcomed him into the inn, but the old man walked straight to the table where Lin Xuan was.
His old face squeezed out a smile.""Little brother, do you mind sharing a table with this old man?”
"Have a seat."
Lin Xuan nodded.
The old man sat down on a stool and untied his wet straw raincoat. He complained,"I came all the way here, but I didn't expect to encounter a rainstorm.”
"It's February and March, the cold of spring. The rain is freezing people's bones. Old sir, drink a cup of hot tea to dispel the cold.”
He chuckled and poured himself a cup of tea.
The old man picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp. His face turned red.
"Where did you come from?" Lin Xuan asked.”
"From the South China Sea to Kaifeng," the old man replied.”
"What's the matter?”
he asked.
"I heard that the soul-chasing sword appeared in Kaifeng. The three families invited me out of the mountain to take its head.”
the old man replied.
"Isn't this old man afraid of being buried in a foreign land?”
Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head.
"I'm not afraid."
The old man spoke and raised his wine cup. His hand was raised in the air, and a ball of cold light shot out from his sleeve like a mosquito. It was densely packed and pointed at Lin Xuan's face.
The ball of cold light arrived in the blink of an eye, but it stopped just a hair's breadth away from him and floated in midair.
Lin Xuan drank the tea in his cup unhurriedly.
"Haha, as expected of the soul-chasing sword. This old man admires this inner force cultivation.”
The old man laughed.
"Chi chi chi"
"Chi chi chi"
The people in the hall, whether they were peddlers, rich merchants, peddlers, pedestrians, or paladins, all drew their swords, flipped the table, and surrounded him.
"Soul Chasing Life Seizing Sword, this place will be your burial ground today.”
The young swordsman held his Qingfeng sword and grinned hideously.
"I didn't expect such a good thing to happen to us brothers.”
The other man was holding a steel knife.
"Set off the fireworks."
The fat man in silk spoke. His subordinates rushed out of the inn, lit the fuse, and aimed the bamboo tube at the sky.
"Swish!"
A flame shot out from the bamboo tube and tore through the rain. A few seconds later, it bloomed in the sky above the inn and turned into a stream of light that was drowned by the rain in the blink of an eye.
"Am I that popular?"
Lin Xuan chuckled.
"Who doesn't want forty thousand taels of silver?”
A mafia expert said.
"Should I call you courageous or stupid?”
He slowly got up and swept his gaze across the crowd, his eyes filled with contempt."If you have the life to fight, you won't have the life to spend."
"Cut the crap."
"Are you going to kill yourself or do you want me to do it?" asked Bamboo Staff Man from the South Sea.”
"Withered bones in a coffin, you dare to clamor in front of me?”
Lin Xuan waved his hand.
"Be careful."
Someone exclaimed.
The densely packed steel needles floating in front of him shot out and scattered in all directions.
"Plop."
"Plop!"
With his internal strength, he could kill people with flying flowers and leaves, let alone steel needles. Whether it was first-class or super-class, all of them were torn apart by steel needles.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen underworld experts fell to the ground.
"Impudent."
The Bamboo Staff Man of the South Sea was furious. His shriveled hand, which was wrapped in black Genuine Qi, slapped toward him.
Lin Xuan stretched out a palm and welcomed it with surging palm power. The two palms collided, and true qi surged.
"Haha, you're the first one who dares to exchange palm strikes with me.”
The bamboo stick pattern laughed loudly.
"You dare to show off your mere poison technique? You're really a clown.”
Lin Xuan curled his lips. His true qi surged, and his palm strength soared, directly shattering Bamboo Staff Man's poison technique.
"Bang!"
The tyrannical palm force poured into the old poison's palm, and the latter's expression changed drastically. He felt as if he had been devoured by lightning.
"Bang!"
His entire arm exploded, turning into a bloody mist that filled the sky. A shrill scream echoed in the inn.
"It hurts."
The Bamboo Staff Man's face turned pale and he wanted to retreat.
A figure appeared in front of him, and a palm passed through his chest.
"Boom!"
The Bamboo Staff Man's eyes widened in anger. His body twitched, and blood flowed out of his seven orifices. In an instant, he was dead.
Everyone in the hall was stunned, their faces pale, and their bodies twitching. Many people were so scared that they peed and shit.
This was because the scene in front of him was too terrifying.
