There was chaos and screams in the tavern. Chairs fell to the ground with a thud, and ceramic wine glasses and porcelain bowls fell to the ground with a dull thud.

The tavern owner looked at the pockmarked face with his neck cut open and blood flowing, his whole body shaking.

The strange smell in the air became stronger and stronger, and Hu Yong looked at the tavern owner solemnly.

The pockmarked man clutched the counter tightly with his fingers, and before he could react what was happening, he slowly fell down like a drowning man in water.

The other two people were lying on the ground, one was motionless, and the other's body was twitching constantly, with a pool of blood gradually spreading under his body.

The next moment, a woman's shrill, hysterical scream was heard in the tavern.

The thugs retreated to the corner in panic. Hu Yong ignored them and focused his attention on the tavern owner who was trembling all over behind the counter. As the tavern owner's breathing became heavier, the disgusting smell became more and more intense, and one could even vaguely see a blood-red mist spreading behind the counter.

He threw a recon at the tavern owner but got no response, and looked at the system interface in confusion.

[This unit does not exist in the database. Please handle it on your own.] Hu Yong was speechless. It turned out that the detection range of his system only included things that existed in the database. Then this function was useless. It was a pity to eat it and throw it away.

Just as Hu Yong was complaining about the system, five guards rushed in from the door of the tavern with a "bang", their weapons clanging.

Seeing the corpse in front of the counter, they immediately raised their weapons and pointed them at Hu Yong who was standing in front of the counter. Hu Yong ignored the guards and kept pointing his sword at the abnormal tavern owner, ready to attack if anything went wrong.

"Put your weapons down!"

The leading guard shouted fiercely.

"Put your weapons down!

Stranger! "

If he ignored the guards, Hu Yong could feel the increasingly dangerous aura coming from the tavern owner. He could not bear it any longer and if he waited any longer, something bad might happen.

He bent over the counter and used all his strength to leap over the counter. He tensed his body, used all his strength to reach the sword, and swung the sword to the right to slash at the strange tavern owner.

At the moment of the slash, the tavern owner suddenly raised his head, and stared at Hu Yong with his eyes that had turned completely blood red.

Hu Yong remained unmoved. Instead, he increased his strength and chopped at the tavern owner at a faster speed.

Behind him he heard the guards retreating nervously and the woman screaming again. Feeling the threat of death gradually coming from the tavern owner in front of him, Hu Yong subconsciously blocked out the sounds behind him and focused all his attention on the front.

Looking at the long sword coming at him, the tavern owner showed a strange expression and whispered an unknown strange language. The blood-red mist around him condensed in front of him to form a blood-red mist wall.

The sword blade slashed above the mist, but it seemed as if it was slashing on hard steel. The tip of the sword only penetrated a little bit and could not move forward an inch.

The tavern owner looked at the scene in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was mocking Hu Yong's arrogance, and said in a low voice: "This kind of great power cannot be broken by a lowly mortal like you..." Hu Yong frowned, "Oh?

Yeah?"

He took two steps back, sheathed the steel sword, drew out Toharne, held the sword upright with his wrist raised, and stabbed the tip of the sword forward at the tavern owner.

"Don't waste your energy. A mortal like you will never be able to understand the power of this force."

The hotel owner had a fanatical look on his face, and once again gathered a wall of blood-red fog.

Although Hu Yong's speed was fast enough, the blood-red fog wall still condensed strangely and blocked Toharne. When the sword touched the surface of the fog, Hu Yong lowered his wrist and pointed the sword tip upwards. A little white light bloomed on the tip of the sword, "Strong attack!"

The moment the white light touched the blood-red fog wall, the blood fog seemed to have met its natural enemy. The fog wall touched by the white light cracked into a spider web like glass hit by a blunt object, and then began to shatter. Hu Yong crossed the broken blood-red fog wall without any hesitation, and the sword swiftly pierced into the tavern owner's chest.

"Is this what you call unbreakable power?"

Hu Yong thrust the sword forward, piercing his chest completely, and said expressionlessly to the terrified tavern owner.

The hotel owner grabbed the sword with both hands and looked at Hu Yong in disbelief, "How is this possible?

…

This is impossible!

Who the hell are you? "

Hu Yong pulled out Toharne, "Just a witcher."

The tavern owner opened his mouth wide as if he wanted to say something, but unfortunately, after Hu Yong pulled out Toharne, the wound on his chest began to ooze out a large amount of blood.

He opened his mouth with difficulty but couldn't say anything in the end. He looked at Hu Yong with resentment, and as blood gushed out of his mouth, he lost all his strength and fell to the ground.

After making sure that the tavern owner was dead, Hu Yong turned around and looked at the door. Five guards were crowded at the door and looking at him in panic.

…

Jim, the leading guard captain, felt that he was extremely unlucky today. He regretted very much why he accepted such a mission just for a bottle of wine. Wouldn't it be better to just shirk it to others and go back to rest early?

Jim thought back to when it all started a dozen minutes ago.

At that time, I had just finished patrolling the city wall and was resting on the battlement when I suddenly received a message from the captain guarding the gate below, saying that another stranger had come in, and asked me to help keep an eye on him and not let him cause any trouble. He also asked me to treat myself to a drink tomorrow.

Jim naturally planned to help since he could get a bottle of wine by just running there. He had done many such things before and it usually didn't take much time.

But Jim never expected that this trip would change his life.

At first, Jim didn't feel anything when following this stranger. He went straight to the tavern like a normal adventurer. However, he didn't go to Old Pitworth but went to the Mamba Snake Tavern in the corner, which gave Jim a headache. He would have to clean up the mess later.

Who knew that the stranger had only been in there for a few minutes when a shrill scream was heard from inside. Jim, who was full of experience, knew as soon as he heard it that this was no longer a simple fight but blood was involved. He cursed the stranger inwardly for always looking for trouble while rushing to the tavern with his men.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw three corpses lying behind the stranger, and the stranger was holding a sword as if he was going to attack the owner of the tavern. Seeing this situation, I immediately shouted at the stranger to stop so that I could save the tavern owner and slowly deal with him.

Who would have thought that the stranger attacked the tavern owner just after he finished speaking. Jim subconsciously wanted to step forward to save him, but after taking only two steps, a sudden feeling of fear surged in his heart and he stopped involuntarily.

Then a strange scene appeared. First, the tavern owner, whom he had never seen before, suddenly became strange. Suddenly, a blood-colored mist emanated from the surrounding area and condensed into a thin wall in front of him, blocking the sword of the stranger.

Immediately afterwards, the stranger changed to a silver sword that looked unique and worth a lot of money, and pierced through the blood mist with one sword, stabbing the strange hotel owner to death.

Jim had always heard that there were magical powers and abilities in the world that were far beyond those of ordinary people, but he had never actually seen them.

The short few seconds of battle before him shocked Jim's soul. Feeling that both of them had the power to kill him easily, Jim swore in his heart that he must also possess such power.

…

“I once knew nothing about power, and when power appeared before my eyes, my only thought was to gain power.

Now, I have gained great power!
