Chapter 676 - 276 History Resurfaces_3
"You still call yourself the Shadow Swordsman, why use needles to launch a sneak attack?" Li Xiu’s steps changed, dodging the Blind Tailor’s fingers, not giving him a chance to flick out the black needle.
"This needle is my sword, the Shadow Needle Sword." As the Blind Tailor spoke, the black needle flicked by his hand suddenly lengthened, sweeping towards Li Xiu’s neck.
Li Xiu’s steps shifted, and the technique of the Fluctuating Fist exploded. The muscles on his body contracted rapidly, causing a sonic boom, making his body lean back and narrowly avoid the sweep of the Shadow Needle Shadow.
The Blind Tailor approached Li Xiu like a specter, the Shadow Needle Sword in his hand changing unpredictably, sometimes stabbing, sometimes slashing, as if a fierce ghost was entangling Li Xiu.
Like Old Man Wu, the Blind Tailor did not use Light Energy, but only fought with techniques.
Li Xiu continued to dodge using Angel’s Wings, and no matter how strange the Blind Tailor’s Shadow Needle Sword was, it still couldn’t touch him.
"Huh, this kid is indeed a bit strange, what kind of body technique is this?" The Blind Tailor was somewhat surprised.
"Haha, you blind man are just like that, what did you say earlier." Old Man Wu laughed heartily.
Annoyed and embarrassed, the Blind Tailor shot the Shadow Needle Sword in his hand, and after Li Xiu dodged, it hit Li Xiu’s shadow.
Li Xiu’s body, which had been moving at high speed, suddenly froze there, unable to move, still maintaining the posture of lifting his leg to step forward. The facial muscles twitching from the high-speed movement didn’t settle back, remaining distorted.
"Blind man, you’re cheating, weren’t we not supposed to use Light Energy?" Old Man Wu said unpleasantly.
"I’m no Heavenly King, just a despicable Shadow Swordsman. What’s the point in arguing about cheating? Besides, that kid used Light Energy once just now; I’m just evening the score by using it once myself, aren’t I?" The Blind Tailor chuckled.
As he spoke, the Blind Tailor had already walked up to Li Xiu, with another Shadow Needle Sword appearing between his fingers, fine as cow hair, slowly piercing towards Li Xiu’s pupil: "Kid, honestly, who sent you to the City of Love? Tell me everything, clearly, or you’ll neither live nor die."
"It was Little Bu’Er’s father who sent me. You really are in danger; there’s an extremely terrifying person coming to kill you tonight." Li Xiu sighed.
"Nonsense, even the Heavenly King isn’t qualified to be Little Bu’Er’s dad; where did she get a father from? If you keep spouting nonsense, I, the Blind Tailor, will skin you alive and then stitch you back up needle by needle." The Blind Tailor said harshly, the Shadow Needle Sword in his hand stabbing towards Li Xiu’s pupil, intending to waste one of Li Xiu’s eyes first.
Bang!
Before the Shadow Needle Sword could touch Li Xiu’s eye, a gunshot was heard, and a bullet hit the Blind Tailor’s abdomen.
Li Xiu’s left hand at his waist held the Forbidden Spear, its muzzle still smoking.
The Blind Tailor, holding his needle, looked at Li Xiu in shock. His face was full of surprise; he couldn’t understand how Li Xiu, trapped by the Shadow Needle Sword at his shadow, could still move.
If he hadn’t been off guard, there was no way Li Xiu could have hit him with that shot.
Old Man Wu was also somewhat surprised to see the Blind Tailor get shot, but he didn’t step forward or show much concern, still standing by with folded arms.
The Blind Tailor frowned and asked Li Xiu, "What kind of bullet is that?"
"A healing bullet." Li Xiu withdrew the gun, moved his body a bit, and the red and blue Light Veins on his body gradually faded away.
His shadow also moved, and that Shadow Needle Sword no longer had any effect.
"Why not use a killing bullet?" the Blind Tailor asked again.
"I told you, I am not your enemy, but your friend. Your enemy will soon arrive. Instead of getting tangled with me, why not leave the City of Love now while there’s still a chance," Li Xiu said.
"Nonsense." The Blind Tailor’s body moved and surprisingly split into two Blind Tailors. The one who got shot gradually disappeared, and the Undying Bullet fell to the ground, revealing that Li Xiu’s bullet had only hit an illusion.
"With your little tricks, you can’t hurt me, the Blind Tailor. If you’d used a killing bullet just now, you’d already be a dead man." The Blind Tailor said disdainfully, "Even if you’re telling the truth, anyone who dares to come cause trouble in the City of Love is destined for a dead end."
No matter what Li Xiu said, neither the Blind Tailor nor Old Man Wu believed him, or perhaps they simply didn’t need to believe Li Xiu. In their view, the truth didn’t matter; no one could cause trouble in the City of Love, much less kill them.
"You seem not too bad, so I’ll spare your life; leave the City of Love before tomorrow, and don’t let me see you again, or I’ll skin you to make clothes." The Blind Tailor said, turning away.
Old Man Wu looked at Li Xiu and also turned away.
They didn’t tie up Li Xiu, didn’t imprison him, and didn’t even restrict his freedom, seemingly finding it unnecessary from their perspective.
Li Xiu, feeling helpless, tried to find other people to tell, but no one believed him.
"Little brother, I’m so scared. Will you come to my room tonight to protect your elder sister?" The landlady said, drilling into Li Xiu’s arms as if in fear after hearing him.
"Haha, what Cloaked Man, let him come. I’ll help you chop him up for braised pork." The chubby cook laughed heartily after hearing him.
"If there’s someone that powerful, I’d like to see." The black rider’s eyes lit up after hearing him.
"Don’t be afraid, little brother. I’ll protect you," Ka Duo’er said with a smile.
"I can only play the zither; such a big matter is beyond me." The Zither Master smiled after listening.
No one believed Li Xiu, or perhaps they didn’t care about the Cloaked Man Li Xiu spoke of.
Li Xiu wanted to continue persuading them, but it was already late, night was falling, and the banquet began, with the City of Love once again erupting in celebration.
Drinks flowed, song and dance mingled with laughter.
Unable to persuade them, Li Xiu could only make some preparations himself, standing close to Little Bu’Er.
Bang!
Almost at the same time as last, the main gate of the City of Love was kicked open again, and the Cloaked Man carrying a stone tablet stepped into the City of Love once more, his footsteps like the death knell of the Death God.
