silence!
A deathly silence!
Even the referee outside the dueling arena was stunned. He had been a referee in Broken Halberd City for over a hundred years and had seen all kinds of battles, but he had never seen anything like this before. A breeze swept by, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps...
"This person... doesn't he look like the Sword God of Wulipo who's been making waves lately?"
"What? The Sword God of Wulipo?"
"In that case, it is indeed terrifying, and worthy of the title of Sword God..."
"The speed of his sword strike is unbelievable! No wonder he is the Sword God of Wulipo!"
The surrounding crowd was shocked. Some well-informed individuals had heard of similar deaths and quickly made connections. As Li Sisui's name was revealed, gasps of astonishment erupted from the crowd. Even the referee on the sidelines looked on in shock, scrutinizing Li Sisui with a meaningful gaze before slowly speaking:
"The Sword God of Wulipo wins!"
The azure light shield above his head disappeared with a hum, revealing the gray sky of Broken Halberd City. Li Sisui looked up, turned around and left the dueling arena. Wherever he went, the cultivators all retreated, their eyes filled with both awe and vigilance!
"This time we really lost a lot of money! We were just hoping to make some money to buy tea, but we ended up losing everything. It turned out to be a dark horse! Oh dear!"
"Haha! Interesting! As expected of the Sword God of Wulipo, this city is about to get lively..."
...
More than thirty headless corpses lay in various positions in the duel arena, ignored by everyone. As the blue light barrier disappeared, the crowd gradually dispersed. This duel, which can be described as the fastest in history, became the best topic of conversation today, passed down by word of mouth and talked about with great interest. The name of the Sword God of Wulipo once again took flight, and it did not take long for it to sweep across the entire Broken Halberd City!
After everyone had left, the referee raised his hand and threw a fireball the size of a washbasin. It exploded in the center of the dueling arena, instantly igniting a raging fire that quickly incinerated all the headless corpses. Then, with a flick of his finger, more than thirty storage rings, glowing with a crimson light, floated out from the ruins. The referee pocketed the rings and muttered to himself:
"This person's strength is terrifying; he doesn't play by the rules at all. He may disrupt the balance within the city and cause unforeseen changes. We must report this to the city lord as soon as possible!"
After speaking, the referee gazed in the direction where Li Sisui had disappeared, stepped onto his magical artifact, and soared into the sky. Within Broken Halberd City, only certain individuals were qualified to fly…
"Let's go! Just as you predicted, these guys really are picking on the weak. They didn't expect to run into me..."
"Yes, reading more books is definitely not a bad thing."
"..."
Li Sisui walked ahead, a helpless smile on his face. If he could understand the words in the ancient books, he wouldn't always be teased by Leng Rushuang. Behind him, Leng Rushuang wore a red veil and her lips were slightly upturned. The eagle beside him was confused and could only squeak.
As the two people and the eagle stepped into the public area again, the once bustling hall immediately fell silent. The cultivator who was speaking was wide-eyed but dared not utter another syllable. Everyone glanced at Li Sisui with fearful and confused eyes, and then flew away instantly, afraid that Li Sisui would make eye contact with them...
Surrounded by a group of cultivators, the two people and the eagle slowly entered two rooms separated by doors and windows in the corner. Pushing open the door, they found the rooms spotless and the items neatly arranged. A strange glint flashed in Li Si's eyes. At that moment, a thin cultivator squeezed out from the crowd, pointed into the room, and gave a timid, sheepish laugh:
"I've met you, senior. I wonder if you're satisfied? If I hadn't overslept, it might have been even cleaner..."
Li Sisui frowned, looking puzzled, and said:
"This is?"
"Oh, it's like this. Before your duel, with an unusually keen sense of smell and penetrating insight, I bet on you to win, and the final result didn't disappoint me. To thank you, I did this small favor. I hope you're satisfied..."
As he spoke, the man's face became even redder, like a ripe red apple. Li Si was greatly surprised. He never expected that there would be such an eccentric cultivator in Zheji City. However, the fact that he was able to bet on him to win must mean that he was extraordinary. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he was only at the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm. In the eyes of the cultivators in Zheji City, he was like an ant. Who would have thought that he would win, and win so decisively?
"Wine boy, stop bragging. It would be more believable if you said you were drunk and made a mistake..."
A mocking murmur arose from the crowd, followed by a burst of laughter. The thin cultivator, called the wine boy, became even more flushed. Just as Li Sisui looked puzzled, he let out a burp, and a strong smell of alcohol instantly wafted out. Leng Rushuang couldn't help but frown!
"Haha! As expected, you bet on the wrong horse and got lucky. Now you're trying to ride the wave. You're something else, haha!"
The young servant's face turned crimson, the feeling of being exposed in public was naturally unpleasant, especially in front of Li Sisui. He roared angrily, unwilling to argue any further, and turned to disappear into the crowd. But then he heard Li Sisui say:
"Luck is also a part of strength. Your name is Jiu Tong?"
"That's right, I just like to have a little drink. Don't listen to their nonsense, senior. Although I drink sometimes, I'm never so unconscious. When I placed the bet, my mind was clear, and it was definitely not a slip of the hand..."
Li Si waved his hand, then asked:
"It's alright, I have a question I'd like to ask you. Where should I go to get the latest news?"
Seeing that Li Sisui showed no interest in the betting issue, the wine boy was overjoyed and naturally didn't want to bring it up. When Li Sisui took the initiative to ask the question, he quickly reached out and pulled him into the house. Leng Rushuang followed closely behind. Because of its huge size, Diao Bao couldn't fit in the small house and could only stay outside. Diao Bao kept squeaking and complaining about this...
