Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

The chanting sounded eerie and spooky, making people shudder.

Zhang Ling was shocked. This voice...could it be that the man in black is practicing some evil magic?

He held his breath and continued to listen.

The chanting became louder and clearer.

Suddenly, the door flew open and a man in black appeared at the door.

He stared at Zhang Ling with cold eyes and asked in a grim tone: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Ling's heart sank; he knew he was exposed.

He tried to remain calm and said, "I...I was just passing by."

"Just passing by?" The man in black sneered, "Do you think I will believe it?"

He approached Zhang Ling step by step, exuding murderous aura.

Zhang Ling knew that he was no match for the man in black, so he turned around and ran.

The man in black was chasing after him.

The two started chasing each other in the inn.

The other guests in the inn were awakened and ran out to watch the fun.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"It seems like someone is fighting!"

"Run!"

There was chaos in the inn.

Zhang Ling ran to the backyard of the inn and found a well in the backyard.

He had an idea and jumped into the well.

The man in black followed closely and jumped into the well.

It was pitch black in the well, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Zhang Ling felt like he was falling, as if he would never reach the bottom.

Suddenly, he felt his foot step on something.

He looked down and found himself standing on a platform.

In the center of the platform, there is a black stone that emits a strange light.

Zhang Ling's heart moved. Could this be the soul fragment of the Sky-Swallowing Toad?

He was about to reach out to take it when suddenly, a man in black appeared behind him.

"Boy, you're looking for death!" The man in black roared and slapped Zhang Ling with his palm.

Zhang Ling was unable to dodge and was hit by a palm. He flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

He felt severe pain all over his body, as if his internal organs had shifted out of place.

The man in black approached Zhang Ling step by step, with a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes.

"The soul fragment of the Sky-Swallowing Toad is mine, no one can take it away!"

He raised his palm, ready to give Zhang Ling a fatal blow.

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded: "Stop!"

The gorgeously dressed woman appeared at the bottom of the well and stood in front of Zhang Ling.

She stared at the man in black with cold eyes and asked in a stern tone, "Who are you? Why do you want to snatch the soul fragment of the Sky-Swallowing Toad?"

The man in black was stunned, obviously not expecting a woman to appear here.

He looked the woman up and down, a greedy gleam in his eyes.

"Girl, you look good. Come with me. I promise to make sure you have good food and good drinks."

The woman's face darkened and she shouted angrily, "How dare you!"

She drew the long sword from her waist and pointed it at the man in black: "I am the daughter of the mayor of Luoxia Town. If you dare to touch a hair on my head, my father will never let you go!"

The man in black laughed loudly: "The mayor's daughter? So what? Today I will let you know the consequences of offending me!"

He brandished the weapon in his hand and attacked the woman.

The woman was not to be outdone and drew her sword to fight back.

Zhang Ling looked at the woman's back, and the inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart became stronger and stronger. He felt as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

"Hey, kid, what are you looking at? Are you attracted to the girl?" The fat boss walked up to Zhang Ling and said in a sarcastic tone.

Zhang Ling came back to his senses and glanced at the boss calmly: "Boss, ten taels of silver is too expensive, can you make it cheaper?"

The boss sneered, "Cheap? Why don't you ask around to see what's going on in Luoxia Town now? It's good enough to have a place to live. You still want to bargain?"

Zhang Ling frowned slightly, he felt a hint of threat in his boss' tone.

"Boss, your price is too unreasonable." Zhang Ling said in a deep voice.

The boss's face changed, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "Boy, don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit! If you can't afford to stay here, get out of here and don't get in the way here!"

Zhang Ling sneered in his heart, it seemed that the boss was deliberately making things difficult for him. He was about to explode when suddenly, a scream came from upstairs.

"what--"

Zhang Ling's face changed and he rushed upstairs. He came to the room where the scream came from and pushed open the door. He saw the gorgeously dressed woman being held hostage by a man in black.

The man in black had his face covered and held a dagger against the woman's neck.

"Don't come over here!" the man in black shouted, "Or I will kill her!"

Zhang Ling's eyes were cold, and murderous intent surged in his heart. He recognized the symbol on the black-clothed man at a glance. It was the symbol of the "Tian Tian Cult"!

"Tiantian Sect..." Zhang Ling gritted his teeth and said, "You are really here!"

When the woman saw Zhang Ling, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Save me..."

Seeing this, the man in black pressed the dagger in his hand against the woman's neck even harder: "Boy, I advise you to mind your own business! Otherwise..."

"What else?" A cold light flashed in Zhang Ling's eyes, and his body was as fast as lightning, rushing in front of the man in black in an instant.

Before the man in black could react, Zhang Ling punched him and he flew out, hitting the wall heavily.

Zhang Ling quickly supported the woman and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

The woman shook her head, her eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you for saving me."

"Who are you? Why do the people from the Heaven-Swallowing Sect want to capture you?" Zhang Ling asked.

The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is Lin Wan'er, and I am... the daughter of the leader of the Heaven Devouring Sect."

Zhang Ling was shocked. He didn't expect that she was the daughter of the leader of the Tian Tun Sect!

"The daughter of the leader of the Heaven Devouring Sect?" Zhang Ling asked doubtfully, "Then why do you..."

Lin Wan'er sighed and said, "I don't want to stay in the Heaven-Swallowing Sect. I want to live a normal life. But my father didn't agree, so I ran away secretly. I didn't expect that they would find me anyway..."

Zhang Ling looked at Lin Wan'er with mixed feelings. He had never expected that he would encounter such a thing.

"Don't worry, I will protect you." Zhang Ling said firmly.

Lin Wan'er looked at Zhang Ling, her eyes full of gratitude and trust.

Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the inn.

"The people from the Heaven-Swallowing Sect are here!"

Zhang Ling's face changed, knowing that something was wrong. He quickly took Lin Wan'er and fled out the back door.

The two of them ran wildly all the way, and behind them came the sounds of the members of the Tian Tun Sect chasing them.

"Don't let them get away! Catch them!"

Zhang Ling took Lin Wan'er and hid in a forest.

"We have to find a way to get rid of them." Zhang Ling said.

Lin Wan'er nodded, her eyes full of worry: "But...but there are too many of them..."

Zhang Ling looked around and suddenly saw a small river not far away.

"Come with me!" Zhang Ling took Lin Wan'er's hand and ran towards the river.

The two jumped into the river and drifted downstream along the current.

The members of the Heaven-Swallowing Sect chased them to the river, but lost sight of the two men.

"Damn it! They got away!"

"Search! We must find them!"

Zhang Ling and Lin Wan'er drifted along the current for a long time and finally reached the shore in a remote place.

The two men were soaked and looked miserable.

"What should we do now?" Lin Wan'er asked.

Zhang Ling looked at Lin Wan'er, a gleam of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Let's go find the soul fragments of the Sky-Swallowing Toad and stop the Sky-Swallowing Cult's conspiracy!"

As night fell, the two hid in a cave.

Lin Wan'er snuggled in Zhang Ling's arms, shivering.

"Are you cold?" Zhang Ling asked with concern.

Lin Wan'er nodded, her face pale.

Zhang Ling took off his coat and put it on Lin Wan'er.

"Thank you..." Lin Wan'er said gratefully.

Zhang Ling looked at Lin Wan'er, his eyes full of pity.

He gently hugged Lin Wan'er, feeling her soft body.

Lin Wan'er also hugged Zhang Ling tightly, as if she wanted to merge herself into his body.

The two of them snuggled together quietly, feeling each other's warmth.

Suddenly, Zhang Ling felt that Lin Wan'er's breathing became more and more rapid.

He looked down and saw that Lin Wan'er's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were blurred.

"Wan'er..." Zhang Ling called softly.

Lin Wan'er raised her head and looked at Zhang Ling with a dazed look.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

Zhang Ling looked at Lin Wan'er's tender and tempting red lips, and he could no longer suppress the desire in his heart.

He lowered his head and kissed Lin Wan'er's lips...

Lin Wan'er let out a soft moan and closed her eyes.

She wrapped her arms tightly around Zhang Ling's neck and responded to his kiss.

The temperature in the cave gradually rose, and the two people's breathing became more and more rapid...

The next morning, Zhang Ling woke up and found that Lin Wan'er was gone.

He was startled and quickly got up to look for it.

"Wan'er! Wan'er!"

Zhang Ling searched the cave but couldn't find Lin Wan'er.

His heart was filled with anxiety and doubt.

Where is Lin Wan'er?

At this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the cave.

Zhang Ling looked at the woman's back, and the inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart became stronger and stronger. He felt as if he had seen this woman somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

"Hey, kid, what are you looking at? Are you attracted to the girl?" The fat boss's voice interrupted Zhang Ling's thoughts.

Zhang Ling came back to his senses and shook his head: "No...no."

"No? I see your eyes are wide open." The fat boss chuckled, "Let me tell you, she is the daughter of the richest man in town, and it is not something a poor boy like you can marry."

Zhang Ling ignored the fat boss's ridicule, his attention was completely attracted by the woman. He always felt that this woman had some special connection with him.

"Boss, give me the cheapest room." Zhang Ling said.

The fat boss curled his lips and said, "The cheapest one? Five taels of silver."

Zhang Ling frowned. He didn't have much silver on him, and these five taels of silver were not a small sum for him.

"What? You think it's too expensive?" The fat boss looked at Zhang Ling with a squint, "If you think it's too expensive, get out. Don't block my business."

Zhang Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, five taels is five taels."

He paid the money and followed the waiter to a simple guest room. There was only a bed, a table, and a chair in the room, without even a window.

Zhang Ling sighed, put his bag on the bed, then walked to the door and closed it gently.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to practice the Chaos Technique. He knew that in this unfamiliar environment, only by constantly improving his strength could he better protect himself.
