Chapter 1239 - 548: Undercurrents at the Inn
The reputation of [Poison Marrow Sword] Zhao Jinci isn’t very large, but it’s not small either. Her Poison Marrow Sword Technique is extremely vicious; even if you are stronger than her, the ensuing poison damage is troublesome.
The most important thing is that Poison Marrow Sword never acts alone; she has a good sister, following her like a shadow, with equally astonishing strength!
"Bone Piercing Whip... The woman next to her must be Bone Piercing Whip Zhao Yinxin!"
The two sisters are collectively known as the Poison Scorpion Sisters, who roam the world with few adversaries.
Even those stronger than the sisters are wary of their unique poison, unwilling to engage such enemies in combat.
As a result, the Poison Scorpion Sisters have become increasingly prosperous in recent times.
With greater fame comes more acquaintances.
However, most people have only heard of their names and haven’t seen them in person.
Now seeing them, they are indeed beautiful, yet undeniably vicious, like a poisonous flower that one dares not touch.
"It’s really them..."
"Poison Marrow Sword, Bone Piercing Whip, tsk tsk tsk, of all people to provoke, why choose these two? That guy surely died unrepentant."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, their reactions varied.
The young man in black, who initially wanted to stand out, looked completely shocked.
"She’s, she’s Poison Marrow Sword Zhao Jinci? I just tried to stand up for that demonic woman..."
The young man in black looked ashamedly at his master, who was peacefully drinking and eating beside him.
"Big Sister..."
The square-faced man holding a sword but not daring to stab it lowered his head.
[Poison Marrow Sword] Zhao Jinci glanced at him and spoke calmly.
"Sit down and eat."
"Yes!"
The square-faced man promptly sheathed his sword and sat back down, appearing like an obedient child, his position in the team evident.
Clap!
Clap!
Clap!
While everyone else avoided this table like a plague, someone applauded and approached.
"The world only knows the poisonous nature of Poison Marrow Sword, but no one ever mentions how extraordinary her swordsmanship is!"
The person kicked aside the headless corpse on the ground and cupped his hands with a smile toward the two sisters.
"I am Lin Yi Yuan, had the pleasure of meeting two beauties."
Lin Yi Yuan?!
The crowd, still reeling from the shock of the Poison Scorpion Sisters, now looked equally astonished at the mention of Lin Yi Yuan.
"Lin Yi Yuan, who hides flowers in laughter!"
"What’s going on tonight; they’re all popping out one by one!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, Lin Yi Yuan, I’d really love to see how the supposedly unbeaten Lin Yi Yuan fares against the Poison Scorpion Sisters."
The onlookers, enjoying the show, began imagining the upcoming scene.
However, the reality was somewhat different from what they imagined.
"Lin Yi Yuan, who hides flowers in laughter, I’ve heard of you."
[Poison Marrow Sword] Zhao Jinci looked up at the newcomer.
"It’s said that you only make one move, and that one move decides victory or defeat. Yet you’ve never experienced defeat until now."
Lin Yi Yuan smiled, straightened up, and unfolded the folding fan in his hand.
"Miss Zhao jests, it’s merely the exaggeration of the world. Who dares claim to be undefeated in the martial world? I am just a little fortunate."
[Poison Marrow Sword] Zhao Jinci said no more, merely stared at him for a moment before suddenly tapping the table.
"Sit."
Lin Yi Yuan folded his fan and sat down with a smile.
The team of five now became a team of six.
Judging from the square-faced man’s nervous and constrained reaction, it’s likely the rest of this table had also come together in a similar manner.
"The strong join forces..."
"Tonight, it might get a little tricky."
Everyone felt a slight unease in their hearts.
The strength of, this team has already brought pressure.
Even though the task has not begun, just the existence of this team makes others feel restrained.
"Master..."
The young man in black looked at the old man.
Yet the old man only rested, appearing to nap peacefully, only to utter eight words calmly.
"Earthly chickens and dogs, not worth worrying about."
The old man’s voice was not large, but it was immediately caught by [Poison Marrow Sword] Zhao Jinci.
She turned her head, looking at the table of the little old man, yet the sister beside her had already stood up.
"Sister, let me. Some old things, with no sense of discretion, need a lesson."
It was indeed Bone Piercing Whip Zhao Yinxin.
But her action of standing was held down by [Poison Marrow Sword] Zhao Jinci.
"No rush."
She just spat out those two words and continued drinking and eating as if nothing had happened.
Yet between these two tables, the subtle atmosphere and the faintly tense opposition were gradually heating up.
"What lively excitement, how exciting indeed! Poison Marrow Sword Zhao Jinci, Lin Yi Yuan, who hides flowers in laughter, and Humblebane Plague, the old man. To see them fight today would make death worthwhile!"
"Well said, Brother Tian! This scene is intense! Luckily, we took the task quickly; otherwise, how could we catch such a grand event!"
"Let them fight! Once they do, we can fish in troubled waters, delightful indeed!"
In the corner of the tavern, those guests couldn’t contain their excitement and exchanged whispers.
"Brother Tian, did you notice that in the tavern, there are a few who, upon hearing those names, remain indifferent. What does this indicate? It suggests they might also be hidden formidable characters!"
"Worth the ticket price! As long as the fight breaks out, we’ve got our money’s worth! With my gift skill ’Polar Star Shift,’ as long as I witness their combat firsthand, I’ll have the chance to learn their martial arts! All those famous techniques will be mine then!"
