Chapter 1242 - 549: Small Skirmishes (Part 2)
As the sword struck empty air, the person outside the door was visibly stunned.
The next moment.
As if in a fit of embarrassed anger...
Bang!!
He kicked the door open with force, and as the longsword was drawn back from the door, it swung horizontally towards the figure in front of him!
Still carefully orchestrated to take advantage of the chaos from the sudden intrusion and an initial strike, yet the man inside caught it firmly between two fingers, unable to budge!
[Chuan Luozhi: 500/500.]
As the opponent tried to retract the longsword, his face flushed, no matter how much strength he used, he couldn’t retrieve the sword from between those two fingers, Fang Yu finally saw the true face of this fellow.
Surprisingly, it turned out to be the square-faced guy from Zhao Jinci’s table with 2000 health.
At that time, Fang Yu glanced over and dismissed him as a minor underling, not worth his attention at all.
Unexpectedly, the first wave of attackers is such a minor character.
"Courting death."
In the instant his opponent realized the absolute power gap between them and looked up at Fang Yu in terror.
Bang!!
With one kick, Fang Yu sent him flying.
"Ahhhhhhh!!"
Chuan Luozhi screamed, plummeting down from the second floor.
Bang!!
With a loud crash, he landed on a table full of dishes, shattering it completely, startling the diners to their feet.
The wooden table splintered, wood pieces flying everywhere, while Chuan Luozhi himself lay on the floor, eyes wide open, clutching his chest, seemingly holding in a breath of Qi.
As a coquettish figure slowly came into his view.
Pfft!!
The suppressed Qi burst out, spraying blood over a meter into the air, gushing out uncontrollably, and within a few breaths, he fainted, motionless.
[Poison Marrow Sword] Zhao Jinci, at this moment, finally lifted his gaze from the corpse on the ground to look towards the second floor.
At the edge of the shattered railing, the white-clad young man who had descended once now stood high, overlooking everyone below as if guarding a stage.
At this moment, almost everyone in the first-floor hall was looking up, locking eyes with Fang Yu.
Some reached for the weapons on the table, silently rising from their seats.
Some grabbed their wine jugs, drinking heavily as if unconcerned.
The scene indicated a great battle was about to erupt!
Silently, as if well-practiced, the waiters retreated towards the entrance of the inn.
As for the shopkeeper, he had already positioned himself at the inn’s entrance as soon as the person fell from the second floor.
Master Tie from the Red Blood Gang being killed was looking for trouble, deservedly so.
But how this man died left the shopkeeper puzzled.
In any case, the atmosphere was ominous!
Despite the painful loss of the broken table, it was obvious their lives were more important at the moment.
The shopkeeper hesitated at the door between fleeing or staying.
In front, a handsome and graceful young man unfurled his folding fan, smiling.
"My friend on the second floor, quite a temper you have."
[Lin Yi Yuan: 1500/1500.]
His response was the sword.
Chuan Luozhi’s sword.
The sword originally belonging to Chuan Luozhi, taken by Fang Yu with two fingers, was now flung backhanded downward.
Whoosh!!
The sword resounded as it tore through the air, and Lin Yi Yuan’s expression changed drastically!
His feet tapped on the ground swiftly, employing his proud movement technique to accelerate multiple times, narrowly dodging the attack.
Zip!!!
But his clothes were torn, leaving a bloody wound on his shoulder.
Lin Yi Yuan’s face visibly darkened.
Clutching his shoulder wound, he glared up angrily at the person above.
"Friend, what is the meaning of this!"
Fang Yu on the second floor ignored him, looking down at everyone equally before speaking.
"I don’t want to waste time. All of you, come at once."
All at once?
As his words fell, several people visibly reacted.
Some were angry, shocked, or hesitated in surprise.
That nearly invincible demeanor and formidable action were intimidating.
Especially that sword just now!
The death of a square-faced man, let’s not mention for now, as they hadn’t seen what the second floor was like, only that he fell and died instantly.
But that sword, they had seen it clearly!
That sword was terrifying!
The movement technique of Lin Yi Yuan, known as "Laugh Amidst Flowers," was considered top-notch among renowned experts.
A smile hides blossoms, known for never missing a shot.
At first glance, seems like a master; in reality, it’s quick on the feet, movement technique top-notch.
Because of strong movement techniques, can find the chance to strike fatally.
Because of strong movement techniques, can attack and escape, can run if unable to win, and without attacking, it’s equivalent to never missing, hence never misses a shot.
Those who know Lin Yi Yuan’s background can see from the way he dodged this sword in a panic that the people on the second floor have terrifying strength!
Some people have already begun to feel like retreating.
While some others have their blood boiling, feeling excited.
"I’ll go!"
A boy in black leaped onto the table, with a health bar above his head that said...
[Zhao Wutian: 500/500.]
He drew his sword from its sheathe, eyes full of excitement.
But...
Fang Yu withdrew his gaze from him.
Can’t muster any interest.
A mere 500 health wouldn’t increase Evil Qi upon killing, just a waste of an opportunity.
A square face is a special case; the first to jump out naturally gets the best treatment.
As for the rest, only those with four-digit health can truly pique one’s interest.
Not only did Fang Yu ignore Zhao Wutian, but the others present also paid no attention to Zhao Wutian’s clamoring.
Most people vaguely gathered around Poison Marrow Sword Zhao Jinci, seemingly waiting for Zhao Jinci to make a statement.
Zhao Jinci at this moment slowly squinted his eyes and revealed a sweet smile.
Poison Scorpion Woman doesn’t often smile, but when she does, it’s almost as sweet as poison.
Even those around were momentarily dazed by the sudden sweetness of Zhao Jinci’s smile.
"The young master upstairs is so grumpy, why join forces? I’m unfamiliar with them, why join forces at all? Really can’t understand what the young master is saying?"
Everyone thought Zhao Jinci was yielding.
Everyone thought Zhao Jinci was ready to back down.
Only her good sister, Bone Piercing Whip Zhao Yinxin, knew every time her sister exhibits this little woman demeanor, it’s... the time she feels the strongest killing intent!
The man upstairs is doomed!
And as Zhao Jinci finished speaking, she was already sauntering up the stairs, step by step, towards the second floor.
Everyone was unsure what game Zhao Jinci was playing, but the beautiful sight was indeed wonderfully alluring.
"Young master..."
A fragrant breeze swept in.
Zhao Jinci had already arrived on the second floor.
Fang Yu calmly looked at her, the scent growing stronger, while Zhao Jinci was already closing in.
"Young mas..."
Whoosh!
Fang Yu suddenly reached out, trying to grab Zhao Jinci’s neck.
Unexpectedly, his grasp met empty air! Dodged by Zhao Jinci’s subtle retreat!
"Hee-hee! Young master, why so hasty, fell into my poison..."
Crack!
A large hand covered her face, abruptly silencing Zhao Jinci’s voice.
Zhao Jinci’s eyes instantly widened.
Because she had already poisoned him, dulled the opponent’s perception and ability to act, yet at that moment, she hadn’t even seen him make a move,
the shadow had already landed on her face like teleportation.
How is this even possible?!
This is the secret poison I’m most proud of!
So many have fallen to this poison, their strength sharply diminished, easily dealt with beyond my level!
So many have been poisoned, unable to distinguish north from south, mind and body control dislocated, greatly diminishing their dexterity!
Yet the one in front of me seems completely unaffected! Why is this?!
Although shocked and stunned inside, the immediate priority was self-rescue!
"Let go of me!!"
Zhao Jinci shrieked, her voice suddenly sharp and piercing. As she reached for her waist-bound Poison Marrow Sword, she suddenly felt her head and body being thrown forcefully forward!
Whoosh!
The wind roared past her ears, before she could react, there was a slam as if she had hit something, making her cry out in pain.
"Let go of my sister... agh!"
Others saw it clearly.
It was Bone Piercing Whip Zhao Yinxin who leapt up from the hall in a rush to rescue, crashing together with the body that suddenly catapulted down.
The two women almost fell to the ground together, rolling to the side.
"What?!"
"?!!"
"The Poison Scorpion Sisters, surprisingly aren’t his match..."
