Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 12 Ink Cloak
"From today onwards, no more protection fees may be collected from Yuji Clothing Store, and no more protection fees may be collected from other shops." Jiang Xuan's face was gloomy. He looked at Wei Li, who was pinned to the ground with an unwilling look on his face. "If you, Captain Wei, can't do this, then disappear from this street!"

Wei Li, who was pinned firmly to the ground by Jiang Xuan, had now recovered from his extreme anger during the fight. He did not look at Jiang Xuan, but nodded slightly to indicate his agreement with Jiang Xuan's statement.

Jiang Xuan let go of Wei Li, stood up, and reached out to pull Wei Li, but was rejected by the latter.

Watching the mercenaries leave the street, Wei Li felt a little desolate.

After a period of excitement or loss, the crowd on the street dispersed, and the owner of Yu Ji Clothing Store invited Jiang Xuan into the store.

"Brother Jiang Xuan...can I call you that?" After the battle between Jiang Xuan and Wei Li, the clothing store owner Lao Yu finally got to know the young man in front of him who was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Of course." Jiang Xuan became more familiar with the clothing store owner.

"Thank you so much for today's matter, little brother Jiang Xuan. I didn't expect that you are so powerful despite your young age. Now that little brother Jiang Xuan has helped so much, Old Yu really doesn't know how to repay you!"

Jiang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Boss Yu, just buy my brocade robe at the agreed price. One of the reasons I'm going out this time is to gain experience, and sparring with a Heavenly Rank warrior like Wei Li is certainly a great opportunity to gain experience. This way, I benefit, and Boss Yu also benefits, so there's no need to repay him."

After Jiang Xuan's words, the owner of the clothing store was impressed by Jiang Xuan's carefree attitude, but the Yuji Clothing Store, which was on the verge of closing, has now transformed into the only store in the entire street that does not have to pay protection fees.

How could Jiang Xuan's generous words "no need to repay" make him let it go easily?

Thinking of this, the clothing store owner was about to speak: "Old Yu has received such a favor from Brother Jiang Xuan, so naturally..."

"Boss Yu, do you have any dark cloaks?" Seeing that the owner of the clothing store was still trying to bring up the matter, Jiang Xuan simply changed the subject.

When the clothing store owner heard Jiang Xuan asking this question, and recalled the bloodstains on the brocade robe that Jiang Xuan had taken out of the rag bag before, he already had some guesses in his mind.

But Jiang Xuan had been of great help to the clothing store, so he couldn't ask any more questions about it. He temporarily collected his thoughts and said, "Yes, I'll get it!"

The shop owner searched the entire shop inside and out, up and down, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, put his hands on his hips, and panted heavily. He placed more than a dozen dark cloaks of various styles in front of Jiang Xuan: "All the dark cloaks in the shop are here."

Jiang Xuan had no idea what cloaks were, so he just casually flipped through them, and his eyes finally stopped on a thick, ink-colored cloak.

He unfolded his ink-black cloak, which did not have any eye-catching decorations. Only dark patterns added a touch of mystery to the cloak.

Jiang Xuan took a fancy to the cloak, but he had a slight concern in his heart: "This cloak looks good and has a mysterious aura. It must be worth a lot of money."

"This cloak has a good concealing effect and is made of high-quality materials. It is very suitable for Brother Jiang Xuan." Seeing that Jiang Xuan took a fancy to this ink-colored cloak, the clothing store owner spoke.

Jiang Xuan put on the dark cloak. He suddenly felt a sense of mystery and strangeness, and even the clothing store owner standing next to him felt a little afraid.

Jiang Xuan looked at himself in the bronze mirror wearing a black cloak and felt a little strange. He was afraid that his parents and sister Jiang Xian would not dare to recognize him if they saw him on the street.

Jiang Xuan's trip to the Green Lake Auction House this time is filled with both opportunities and risks.

A cloak with excellent concealment effect can ensure that Jiang Xuan hides his identity in the Green Lake Auction House to the greatest extent, thereby protecting his own safety to a certain extent.

The value of the ink-colored cloak he was wearing at the moment was far greater than that of his plain brocade robe, judging solely from its effect.

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but wonder: If I ask the shop owner for this cloak, wouldn't that be a bit too much? "This black cloak was pawned to the shop by a Heavenly Rank warrior many years ago. He agreed to redeem it within two years. Now that many years have passed, the redemption period has expired. So, this cloak is destined for you."

The shop owner wrapped up the dark-colored cloak that Jiang Xuan had just taken off and handed it to him: "It would be a beautiful thing if this cloak finds its destined person."

Perhaps the shop owner's emotion touched Jiang Xuan, and he decided not to refuse anymore and accepted the black cloak as a thank you gift.

At the insistence of the clothing store owner, Jiang Xuan also accepted the fifteen taels of silver that had been agreed upon previously. As part of the agreement, the blood-stained plain brocade robe was naturally left by Jiang Xuan in Yu Ji Clothing Store.

……

On the eastern border of Qizhou, a young man with two spears on his back appeared at the edge of a dense forest. It was Jiang Xuan.

After leaving the dense forest, you will enter a densely populated area, and also enter the area of ​​the Green Lake Auction House. It is not as convenient to do things there as in sparsely populated areas.

On the way to this place, Jiang Xuan had already made a plan: to hide the two spears outside the Green Lake Auction House to avoid exposing his identity.

Looking at the lake from afar, which looked like a huge green gem, Jiang Xuan was in a good mood.

Hiding the two spears under a huge black rock, Jiang Xuan put on a black cloak and headed towards the emerald lake...

The first time he walked out of Yingzhou City, the first time he left Yingzhou, the first time he killed someone... Jiang Xuan had a lot of emotions.

He had been through so much in just a few days away from home.

However, Jiang Xuan did not have the mind to reflect too much on these things at this moment. He slowed down his pace and recalled the details of the battle with Wei Li.

Overall, Jiang Xuan underestimated the enemy in this battle.

Although Wei Li's speed can be said to be extremely rare among all the heavenly-level warriors, when Jiang Xuan thought of Wei Li's sword that flew out of his hand, he still felt scared for his underestimation of the enemy.

If Wei Li's sword had been a little closer, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to dodge it with my speed even if I gave up the black rhino.

Although Wei Li was fast, he was just an ordinary mercenary leader, stationed in a not very prosperous street.

What about outside the streets? What about in the upper states? What kind of Heavenly Rank warriors with what terrifying speeds could be found in the entire nine hundred states of the Original Nation?

Jiang Xuan secretly made up his mind: he had to increase his speed to the point where he would not be afraid of any warrior's speed even when holding the black rhino!

……

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan had already reached the shore of Green Lake, and a huge black building came into view not far away.

Jiang Xuan walked all the way from the outskirts of the Green Lake Auction House to the shore of Green Lake, and found that the ink-colored cloak was indeed very effective. Some warriors greeted Jiang Xuan with a slightly awed look after seeing him, while some warriors deliberately avoided Jiang Xuan's sight and stayed away from Jiang Xuan's walking route.

Gripping the jade token in his hand, Jiang Xuan quickened his pace and walked towards the huge black building.
