"puff!"
Outside the teahouse, Xue Bao coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He leaned on the knife, struggling to get up.
But the force that shattered the longsword came crashing down like a relentless tide.
His internal energy was instantly shattered.
"ah!"
Xue Bao roared, veins bulging on his face.
But all of this was to no avail.
Bang!
The next instant, everything went black before his eyes, and he crashed to the floor with a thud.
......
That strong?
Upon seeing this, Lu Qian's heart sank.
His strength is greater than Xue Bao's, but only by a limited margin.
Xue Bao was sent flying by a full-force attack, and the same result would have happened if I had gone up against him.
"This is the first and the last time."
"Get out of the inn from now on."
"Anyone who comes in again will be killed without mercy!"
Li Fan placed the Demon-Slaying Sword back on the table, his cold gaze sweeping over the surroundings, his murderous aura surging, silencing the previously menacing crowd.
The group of Vancl Gang warriors stepped back and helped He Bao up, while the constables all looked at Lu Qian.
"retreat!"
Lu Qian waved his hand, directing everyone to begin their retreat.
......
"You've quit?"
"Is that person alright?"
"I told you long ago, these constables are unreliable, they're all just sitting around doing nothing."
"If I had known they were this kind of scoundrel, I shouldn't have paid the taxes!"
Although the murmurs were faint, Lu Qian, being a Xiantian martial artist, could hear them clearly.
With a dark expression, he ordered, "Release the command arrow and request reinforcements!"
"Bang!"
In the sky, a burst of fireworks exploded, and a piercing, earth-shattering shriek echoed into the distance.
"Quickly, go back and inform the gang leader!"
Some members of Vancl's team also rode away on horseback.
......
"How arrogant!"
"But he certainly has the right to be arrogant!"
Upstairs, Jiang Shoulin took a sip of tea and looked to his side: "Brother Gao, how likely do you think he is to be from Tianguang County?"
"The possibility is not very high!"
"If he were from that side, he wouldn't just leave without explaining anything."
"Now I think he's just a young martial artist who wants to be famous."
"The most likely scenario is that he secretly challenged Li Fan, lost, and then prepared to leave."
After Gao Shiyin finished speaking, Jiang Shoulin nodded, agreeing with him.
......
"Quickly, assemble at the south gate!"
Upon seeing the signal, the constables rushed to the south gate.
Before long, nearly three hundred constables gathered at the entrance of Dahe Restaurant.
The constables who arrived later mostly carried crossbows.
Seeing that Li Fan still hadn't moved, Lu Qian wasn't in a hurry to attack the building.
He stood guard outside the building, waiting for Vancl Alliance's support to arrive.
After all, they are the ones who are in charge of this grand show today.
......
"Gangzi, get up!"
"Someone killed Brother Leopard's sister, and now we're going to avenge him."
At Xinghualou, a burly, bald man pounded on the door.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Qu Gang rushed out, pulling up his pants.
"Isn't Xiaoyu getting married?"
"Let's go first, we'll talk on the way!"
......
That's the situation.
"Wait, tell me again what that person looked like?"
"Brother Gang, this is the likeness copied by the painter from the constable's office."
Qu Gang was stunned when he saw the arrest warrant.
It was him.
But that doesn't make sense!
He kills without blinking an eye, but he won't make a move unless someone provokes him.
Moreover, he entered the city after me yesterday, so why would he go to Xiaoyu's mother-in-law's house as soon as he arrived?
But then someone else saw him.
The whole thing was eerie.
"Biaozi, speed up! Something's not right!"
"What's wrong?"
“I’ve probably seen that person before. Yesterday at noon, he was the one who wiped out the Feng Huo Zhai people at the Dajiang Gang teahouse outside the city.”
"What?"
After Qu Gang finished speaking, Zhang Biao was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
He had heard Qu Gang mention it when they came to Xinghualou for drinks last night.
That guy was a ruthless character; he wiped out the entire Feng Huo Zhai army with just a dog.
In terms of sheer strength, Vancl and Fenghuozhai are about the same.
If we go up there ourselves, we're just asking for death.
"Brother Gang, are we still going?"
The thought of those terrifying achievements made Zhang Biao a little panicked.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and get there!"
Qu Gang glanced at Zhang Biao and then mounted his horse.
Snap!
With a flick of his whip, he galloped toward the south gate.
Zhang Biao stood at the entrance of Xinghualou, hesitated for a moment, then rode off to follow.
......
Inside the inn, Li Fan was still drinking tea.
At this moment, hundreds of martial artists gathered outside the teahouse.
By the time Liu Yifu, the leader of Vancl, arrived, it was nearly noon.
......
"Leopard, what's going on?"
"We found him, but he's very strong. His weapon is a precious sword; an ordinary, finely forged sword would shatter at the slightest touch!"
Xue Bao got up and, after an hour of recuperation, he had recovered.
"You fought him?"
"Yes, I am no match for him!"
Upon hearing Xue Bao's words, Liu Yifu frowned.
Something feels off!
According to yesterday's description, that person was ruthless.
He had no reason to let Xue Bao go, nor did he have any reason to sit in the inn and wait to die!
"Chief Liu, the manpower is almost all here."
Just as Liu Yifu was pondering, Lu Qian stepped forward and said, "Shall we join forces and take down that thug?"
"Boss, brothers, please help me!"
Xue Bao knelt down with a thud and began kowtowing without saying a word.
He also knew that this battle was dangerous, and that anyone could die if they were not careful.
But his only sister is dead, and he must avenge her.
"Brother Leopard, get up! The brothers will definitely avenge you!"
"Xiaoyu is also our sister, it is only right that she takes revenge."
"Boss, give the order! Brothers, charge!"
Looking at the indignant crowd, Liu Yifu sighed helplessly.
He helped Xue Bao up, then whispered a reminder: "Baozi, there's something wrong with this."
"I'll go first, you watch from behind."
"If things go wrong, retreat with the brothers immediately!"
"Don't give yourself away!"
After saying that, Liu Yifu looked at Lu Qian and asked, "Lord Lu, shall we go together later?"
"Chief Liu, of course we'll attack together!"
Lu Qian waved his hand, and the constables with crossbows pulled the triggers one after another.
The sound of wind breaking through the air echoed into the inn, and Li Fan was enveloped in a protective aura.
The crossbow bolt struck, then broke in two.
After nearly ten rounds of arrow rain, the inn was covered with a thick layer of crossbow bolts.
"Capture the perpetrators, regardless of their lives!"
At Lu Qian's command, hundreds of martial artists surged toward the Dahe Inn like a tidal wave.
......
"roar!"
Inside the inn, Xiao Bai's angry roar echoed.
It transformed into a silver lightning bolt and rushed towards the martial artist who had climbed in through the window.
After being tested by Li Fan yesterday, its speed and power have been enhanced in all aspects.
The warriors who rushed forward were killed before they could even react.
Apart from innate martial artists, no one can see its movements clearly.
A seventh-grade innate demonic beast!
When Liu Yifu realized Xiaobai's strength, his heart sank to the bottom.
