Singing with a Sword

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! Yi Ranxiao didn't even turn her head; dozens of Plum Blossom Hermitage Seals suddenly appeared in her hand, and she threw them out with a flick of her wrist!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ...

With unstoppable force, the Plum Blossom Hermitage Seal sliced ​​through the noodles, its power undiminished, and shot towards the noodle stall owner! This time, the noodle stall owner was truly terrified! His earlier fear was feigned, intended to mislead Yi Ranxiao and launch a sneak attack, but Yi Ranxiao had seen through his act beforehand!

The dozens of black, plum blossom-shaped phantoms shot directly at the noodle stall owner! This time, Xiao Ke hadn't controlled the angle and power of the spell beforehand, and the noodle stall owner was riddled with holes!

Without stopping, Yi Ranxiao headed towards the nearest city gate. However, as soon as she reached the west gate, another group of cultivators jumped out and attacked her without saying a word!

Yi Ranxiao didn't want to take any more lives, so he used the Misty Shadow Steps and disappeared in a few breaths. This time, he headed towards the North Gate, but there were still many people guarding it. He estimated that it would take at least an hour to break through, and once he killed them, Luo Rong and his men would arrive, and he would definitely die. Therefore, Yi Ranxiao had no choice but to abandon the North Gate.

They headed towards the east gate, but were intercepted by several groups of cultivators along the way.

These people's relentless attacks had enraged Yi Ranxiao. Originally, he would have severed the limbs of a few cultivators at most to serve as a deterrent, since cultivators could regrow their limbs as they progressed through cultivation. So he was showing mercy! But those people were all attacking his vital points!

So cruel!

Yi Ranxiao then recounted Luo Rong's evil deeds, thinking that some of you must have been deceived by Luo Rong's appearance to work for him. Once you see Luo Rong's true colors, would you still help him kill me? But to her surprise, these people thought that Yi Ranxiao was slandering Luo Rong, so they became even angrier and their attacks became even more vicious!

Yiran Xiaozhen was furious!

Since you've been so ruthless to me, then I won't hold back either!

boom! boom! boom! boom! …

Golden fist energy erupted from the ground, instantly blasting some weaker cultivators into dust!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ...

The green sword thrust out relentlessly, spraying blood and sending people crashing down! This time, the surviving cultivators were finally terrified! They stared blankly, hesitant to advance blindly. Yi Ranxiao immediately fled, reaching the east gate, only to find it still heavily guarded by cultivators!

Left with no other choice, Yi Ranxiao headed towards the West Gate.

What does it mean to be trapped like a turtle in a jar? It means to be surrounded by enemies on all sides.

……

……

At this time, the north, east, and west parts of Sushui City were in complete chaos, while only the south part remained relatively quiet and peaceful. Around noon, a middle-aged man led a young man to a restaurant in the south part of the city. The waiter immediately rushed over to inquire whether they needed a room or a meal.

The young man blurted out, "We've come to find..." The middle-aged man raised his hand to stop him, and said to the waiter, "Bring us a few exquisite dishes and a pot of wine."

The waiter immediately bowed and scraped as he invited them to sit down, and then went to urge them to order the wine and dishes.

"Father, Uncle Master is clearly up there. Why don't we just go up and find him? Why do we have to eat here?" the young man said with some dissatisfaction.

The middle-aged man said calmly, "Zhongwen, if we go up to him directly, it will inevitably give people the feeling that we want to protect someone who has not returned. So let's stay here and wait for your senior uncle to come down." He paused, then added, "If I come, he will definitely notice. I believe he will come down soon."

The "not returning" he mentioned is a person's name.

Hearing this, the young man could only shake his head helplessly. His father was good in every way, except he wasn't assertive enough. His senior martial uncle had arrested his beloved disciple, and he was still here leisurely waiting for him to come down and see him. Who knows, that hot-tempered senior martial uncle might be whipping his disciple right now!

Although she thought this way, she could only remain silent and wait with him.

Not long after, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the restaurant, followed by the clanging of weapons. The middle-aged man looked out the window and saw several cultivators attacking a young cultivator. The young cultivator held a sword.

"It's...it's the Azure Sword of No Return?! How is that possible? Why is the Azure Sword of No Return in this young man's hands?" The middle-aged man was filled with doubt. The young man beside him also said with doubt and surprise, "Father, that's Senior Brother's sword!"

The middle-aged man nodded, signaling him to wait and see.

The one being besieged outside the restaurant was none other than Yi Ranxiao. He had just arrived in the South City when another group of cultivators of unknown origin attacked him.

"You bunch of idiots! Luo Rong is clearly a hypocrite! Yet you're all trying to curry favor with him!" Yi Ranxiao held his green sword, clearly exhausted, but he still forced himself to keep going. Moreover, he exuded a powerful killing intent, making the group of cultivators dare not make any rash moves.

"Let me tell you, during the time Luo Rong disappeared, he became the male concubine of Xue Qinghua, the leader of the Hehuan Sect! Did you know that? Hmph, is this the cultivator leader of Su Shui City that you all revere?"

A middle-aged man with a scar on his face shouted, "You brat, how dare you slander Sect Leader Luo! Everyone, attack him together, capture him, and hand him over to Sect Leader Luo for punishment!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Nine cultivators charged forward, and in an instant, beams of light flashed through the street, and various phantoms shot towards Yi Ranxiao like snowflakes falling from the sky.

He still laughed heartily. These people were pathetic! They actually risked their lives for a hypocrite! He used the Floating Shadow Steps to dodge most of the magical attacks, but some still struck him, blood gushing out. However, he seemed oblivious. Suddenly, he took out a flask of wine from his storage bag, opened it, tilted his head back, and poured it directly into his mouth!

Everyone was stunned. How could this guy still be in the mood to drink at a time like this?

Even in this predicament, a situation where certain death is inevitable, as always, Xiao remains fearless, filled only with boundless pride! Since I cannot outwit you, nor can I defeat you, and I am about to be surrounded and killed by you! Then, I will die a glorious and valiant battle!

"Haha, good wine, good wine!" This wine was snatched from that playboy Luo Yunxiao. Chen Xiao in his previous life, and Yi Ranxiu in this life, were both fond of wine, which is why they drank at this critical moment.

"It's a real pity to have such fine wine today!" With that, Yi Ranxiao threw away the wine pot, pointed his green sword forward, and said, "Come at me all at once!"

The cultivators were indeed awestruck by his boldness, and even the onlookers showed admiration for Yi Ranxiao. However, having offended Sect Leader Luo, this young man was in deep trouble. Alas, what a pity for such a young hero!

"Go!" the cultivators shouted, and spells were unleashed upon Yi Ranxiao!

The azure sword flashed with azure light, unleashing one strike after another...

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted outside the restaurant, and even the floorboards trembled slightly. The innkeeper was frantic, praying that the men outside would find another place to fight and not destroy the business he had inherited from his ancestors! The waiter joined in the prayers.

But most of the customers inside the restaurant scattered and fled. Firstly, the fighting was just outside, too close, and they might get caught in the crossfire; secondly, some people were cunning and wanted to escape in the chaos so they wouldn't have to pay for their meals. So they made their escape immediately. In no time, the restaurant was almost empty, with only a few tables occupied.

The middle-aged man continued to watch the fight outside the window quietly. Seeing the young man's swordsmanship, his brow furrowed. The man named Zhong Wen also looked rather displeased.

Puff~Puff~Puff~

Suddenly, Yi Ranxiao unleashed his perfect harmony with nature, delivering three consecutive sword strikes that killed the three cultivators who had surrounded him! Only one cultivator remained! This cultivator looked at Yi Ranxiao tremblingly and said, "You...you mustn't be so arrogant! Our people have already gone to inform them that Sect Leader Luo will be here soon. You...you will definitely die a horrible death..."

Yi Ranxiao glanced at him, and the man was so frightened that he fell to the ground. Yi Ranxiao laughed heartily, turned around, and strode into the restaurant.

The shopkeeper's eyes widened as he looked at Yi Ranxiao as if she were a plague victim. Yi Ranxiao shouted, "Where's the shopkeeper? Why is no one serving you?"

The shopkeeper immediately nudged the waiter, who had witnessed Yi Ranxiao's murderous methods firsthand and dared not go out to greet him. The shopkeeper threatened, "If you don't go out, I'll deduct two months' wages from your pay!" The waiter immediately changed his tune, smiling more like he was about to cry as he went out to greet him.

"Oh, how many of you are there, sir? Are you here for a stay or a meal?"

Yi Ranxiao said, "Of course it's drinking and eating meat! Go, bring me a pound of your best wine! And then cut two pounds of beef!"

"Alright~" The waiter immediately ran to the kitchen like lightning. Yi Ranxiao casually found a table to sit at. After sitting down, he looked at the blood all over his body and realized that he had been injured in many places. Only then did he feel the pain. He grimaced for a while, and then smiled bitterly.

After arriving in this other world, my fate has been truly full of twists and turns! I finally found a sworn brother but couldn't find him, and I finally found an older brother with extraordinary strength, but now I don't know where he is.

"Sigh!" Yi Ranxiao sighed deeply. The cultivator outside, who had been terrified, was astonished to see Yi Ranxiao sitting calmly inside the restaurant. He asked, "Hey, why didn't you run away? Do you know that almost all the cultivators in Su Shui City are rushing here? If they come, you're doomed! Aren't you afraid of dying?"
