Wuxia: Slay enemies to boost your cultivation; my power is boundless!

"Elder Lin, Young Master Shen was invited by my Weixin Escort Agency. You cannot touch him!" Liu Dali blocked Xiao Bieli's way and spoke coldly.

If it weren't for Young Master Shen's intervention, they would have suffered heavy losses in the dilapidated temple.

If he just stands by and watches the Changhe Gang take Young Master Shen away, not only will his conscience not allow it, but how will his Weixin Escort Agency ever hire anyone to help with escorting goods in the future?

Manager Qian also smiled apologetically:

"Elder Lin, there must be some misunderstanding here."

Lin Tian ignored Manager Qian completely, and simply looked at Liu Dali, saying calmly:

"This boy killed an elder of my Changhe Gang. It's best if Chief Escort Liu doesn't get involved in this matter!"

"Otherwise, it might be difficult for Weixin Escort Agency to operate escort services in Linshui County in the future!"

Liu Dali's face flushed red, feeling aggrieved but also somewhat wary.

He was just a head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of the Weixin镖局 (escort agency). If, because of him, the Weixin镖局 could no longer operate镖局 in Linshui County, his crime would be enormous.

After all, there were many brothers in the Weixin Escort Agency who made a living by carrying goods on one trip after another.

Xiao Bieli also noticed Liu Dali's predicament, stepped forward, looked at Lin Tiantong, and said with a faint smile:

"Elder Lin, are you saying that your gang's Elder Lian died from my swordsmanship?"

Lin Tiantong nodded:

"That's right, although Han Wuyin's martial arts are quite good, he uses a sword!"

"And the knife wounds on Elder Lian's corpse are exactly the same as the knife wounds you left after killing someone in Dongjiang County!"

"When the long sword was drawn, it was like a storm, which is why it left dozens of sword wounds on Elder Lian's body."

Xiao Bieli: "Really dozens of cuts?"

Lin Tiantong nodded: "That's right!"

Standing behind Lin Tiantong, a burly man with a full beard said impatiently:

"Why waste your breath on him, Elder?"

"Since he's unwilling to go back with us, then we'll just break his limbs and take him back!"

Xiao Bieli turned his head and looked at the bearded man, saying:

"Is this also an elder of the Long River Gang, a seventh-rank expert?"

"Perhaps their strength is even above Elder Lian's?"

The bearded man said arrogantly:

"My family is a retainer of the Long River Gang!"

"It is indeed a seventh-rank item!"

"As for whether your strength surpasses Elder Lian's, you'll find out once you try!"

Just as the bearded man finished speaking,

Clang!

The red-sleeved knife was drawn.

A chilling slashing sound suddenly erupted!

Five Tigers Severing the Gate with a Blade!

Dominating the mountains!

The moment he saw Xiao Bieli draw his knife, the bearded man felt a strong sense of alarm. However, the two were too close, and Xiao Bieli's attack was too sudden. He had no time to dodge and could only take the blow head-on.

His arm bones crackled and popped, his arms seemed to grow larger, and with his inner strength flowing in, he slammed his palms down towards the crimson blade.

puff!

The bearded man was sent flying, crashing into the restaurant's main door and shattering it into pieces before landing on the street.

[Experience +1000!]

Chi!

The moment the bearded man flew out, a sword light appeared, aiming straight for Xiao Bieli's neck.

It was Lin Tiantong who made the move. Xiao Bieli's attack was too sudden. Even though he drew his sword immediately, he was still a step too slow. There was a ruthless look in his eyes. Even if he lost a seventh-rank, killing Xiao Bieli would not be a loss.

But Xiao Bieli made no unnecessary movements; with a gentle flick of his longsword, he deflected the sword strike.

"Master Ma...Master Ma is dead!"

Shouts from members of the Changhe Gang echoed through the streets.

Looking out of the restaurant, everyone saw that the bearded man's hands had disappeared and he was lying on the ground with a wound on his chest that ran from his shoulder to his lower abdomen, the blood staining the long street red.

hiss!

Everyone in the restaurant gasped in shock.

That was a seventh-rank expert, yet he couldn't even withstand a single strike from the person in front of him.

Could it be that Elder Lian was really killed by this young man?

Sheath the sword.

Xiao Bieli looked at Lin Tiantong and smiled:

"Elder Lin, how does Elder Lian's martial arts compare to that of this Master Ma?"

Why would I need to use so many blows if I could kill someone with a single strike?

……

Lin Tiantong looked at Xiao Bieli, his face ashen, and after a long while he finally spoke:

"You killed Ma Gongfeng just to prove that you didn't need to use so many knives to kill Elder Lian?"

Xiao Bieli nodded:

"Of course, finding evidence is too much trouble!"

"I think if I can prove that killing a seventh-grade elder doesn't require so many strikes, I can clear myself of suspicion?"

"Or perhaps Elder Lin feels that one horse offering is not enough and wants to test my sword himself?"

……

Hey!

Liu Dali let out a soft sigh.

There was still a chance to negotiate before, but now that Young Master Shen has killed a seventh-rank expert from the Changhe Gang, he has completely turned against the Changhe Gang.

He quietly approached Manager Qian and whispered:

"If a fight breaks out later, Manager Qian, you should leave first, quickly process the goods, and return to Dongjiang County as soon as possible!"

"Since Brother Shen has made a move, I, Old Liu, can't just stand by and do my part!"

Manager Qian glanced at Liu Dali, nodded, and said nothing.

He has many collaborations with the chambers of commerce in Lechun County, and if he completely offends them, he won't be able to do business with them anymore.

The martial arts practitioners in the restaurant only then realized that this was Lechun County. Even if you wanted to prove yourself, there was no need to kill Ma Gongfeng, was there?

Moreover, judging from what this young hero Shen said, he also wants to spar with Lin Tiantong?

Sun Changhe, the leader of the Changhe Gang, nicknamed "Seven-Fingered Divine Eagle," is a sixth-rank expert!

Even if Lin Tiantong is killed, how can they possibly leave Lechun County?

Lin Tiantong shook his head:

"Killing someone at the slightest disagreement!"

"Even if you weren't the one who killed Elder Lian, you're undoubtedly a member of the demonic path!"

"Those who kill members of my Long River Gang, this day next year will be your death anniversary!"

Chi!

A flash of sword light erupted from Lin Tiantong's hand. This sword strike was far faster than the hasty thrust he had delivered earlier. Like a gazelle leaping through the air, it was elusive and unpredictable, striking in an instant.

The sword shadows enveloped all the major acupoints on Xiao Bieli's body.

"You're definitely better than that good-for-nothing from before!"

"But its strength is limited!"

Clang!

Xiao Bieli neither dodged nor avoided the attack; the moment the sword light was upon him, he drew his red-sleeved dagger.

clang!

Swords clashed, sparks flew!

With a crisp sound, the longsword forged from a hundred-times-refined iron in Lin Tiantong's hand snapped in two at the waist.

"Famous instrument!"

Lin Tiantong was startled and quickly retreated.

After Shen Lang killed Ma Gongfeng with a single strike, he knew that Shen Lang's martial arts were definitely not inferior to his own, and with the added advantage of the famous longsword, he was no match for him at all.

So Lin Tiantong didn't hesitate at all and turned to run towards the long street.

"Want to go?"

Xiao Bieli sneered, his feet moving like the wind, catching up with Lin Tiantong in almost an instant. Just as he was about to draw his sword,

Whoosh!

A pebble, accompanied by a sharp shockwave, shot toward Xiao Bieli.

Chi!

Xiao Bieli suddenly raised his hand and slashed out with his sword.

boom!

The stones exploded.

Xiao Bieli landed on the long street, looked in the direction from which the pebbles had come, and said coldly:

"Now that Chief Sun is here, why hide?"
