In this world, no one can be faster than his sword.
Xie Ling: "How do you know there's no one outside the cell?"
The young man said indifferently: "Then I will continue to kill."
Xie Ling curled her lips and looked him in the eye. "In fact, you are already moved, right? Cooperate with me, and everything will be safe. I won't hurt you, I promise."
There was a brief silence.
The boy raised his eyes.
"How do I know whether the antidote you mentioned is real or not?"
Xie Ling just stood there openly, allowing him to look at her.
"If it's fake, then how did you wake up?"
The young man frowned. Normally he would sleep for a whole day, but today he woke up early.
He stared at Xie Ling's clear eyes for a while.
"OK."
Hearing the boy's reluctant voice, Xie Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
This way your chances of winning are greater.
He will take the attack in the front while I will put the antidote in the back.
Now that the two are allies, Xie Ling told the young man all the results of his speculation.
When he heard the city lord, the boy's expression did not change. He probably guessed it.
When he heard that they were arrested because of their thin waists, the boy's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a hot pot, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"impossible."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man in the cell across the street let out a long sigh.
"I was in a bad mood these days and skipped a few meals. I didn't expect to be targeted! This is ridiculous!"
Xie Ling asked him, "Brother, are you also from Tonghua?"
The man nodded and looked at Xie Ling as if he were a close friend.
"Yes! All the thin waists in the city have been captured, so the guards have focused their attention on outsiders in the past few months.
I also let my guard down. But I didn’t expect that I would be caught just because I skipped a few meals and became thinner…”
Xie Ling sighed, "Oh, I don't know when I can get out."
The man's eyes widened, he shook his head and muttered: "How can they leave? The city lord loves thin waists. I have never heard of those who were captured returning.
It would be fine if it was a girl, but it's a sin for a grown man like me.
Fortunately, the city lord will properly arrange for the families of each person who is captured, otherwise I would really worry about my eighty-year-old mother......"
When the other people in the prison found out that the reason they were arrested was because of their thin waist, they all looked incredulous.
But since the locals of Tonghua City have spoken, how could they not believe it?
Several women were already shyly discussing the city lord's appearance and age.
"I wonder what the city lord looks like? I'm not married yet.
"I just want to know how old he is? Don't be an old man."
Xie Ling thought that she had guessed right.
The person who kidnapped them was the city lord.
This city lord is either a pervert or has other motives. He goes around picking up people with thin waists, both men and women.
The people in Tonghua City were already used to this and could only try their best to gain weight to avoid being targeted.
If they arrest foreigners, they will naturally not arrest the locals.
So the locals won’t remind outsiders.
This has led to more and more outsiders being arrested.
People like Ma Laopiao were probably matchmakers who introduced suitable outsiders to the City Lord's Mansion's guards in order to earn extra money.
The boy listened to the conversation between Xie Ling and the local man.
His face was as cold as ice, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
He, the ultimate killer of Guangyao Palace, with the best martial arts in the world, was caught by a man just because of his thin waist?
When he catches the city lord, he will tear him into pieces.
There was a loud "bang".
The originally noisy prison suddenly became quiet.
An impatient voice came from outside.
"What are you arguing about? Be quiet. If you make the city lord unhappy, you will have to pay the price."
As soon as he finished speaking, the small window above everyone's head opened, and a rope slowly sank down, with a lunch box hanging at the end.
Xie Ling opened it and took a look. It was not poisonous, just ordinary food.
But she didn't eat it.
The boy next to him didn't eat either.
Xie Ling guessed that the boy was probably only concerned about when he could kill someone.
Not long after the meal, the prison gate was opened and a group of guards walked in.
The leading man had a long sword hanging from his waist, his face grim, "You are lucky to be favored by our city lord. Follow me obediently and serve the city lord. If anyone resists—"
The man chopped the chair in the aisle with his knife, and the chair broke into pieces instantly.
“Like this stool!”
The people in the prison had different expressions, but no one dared to say a word.
When he heard the word "serve", the boy's face turned cold enough to freeze.
He turned his head and glanced at Xie Ling.
Xie Ling nodded slightly.
When the guard came forward to open the door, the young man flew out instantly.
He produced a long sword from nowhere, and Xie Ling only had time to see a few afterimages.
In a flash, all the guards, including the arrogant captain, were hacked to death on the ground.
The ground was covered with blood.
The other people in the prison were even more confused.
What's going on?
They just blinked.
Xie Ling was originally afraid that these guards had drugged her, so she prepared the antidote early.
Now it seems that it is not necessary at all.
The boy’s martial arts were too fast.
He is indeed the Tianjue Killer, and his reputation is well deserved.
The young man looked disgusted, took out the key from the guard on the ground, and opened the door for Xie Ling.
The tone is as concise as ever.
“Antidote.”
Xie Ling understood that this meant they were going to part ways with each other.
