Chapter 2771 - 2774: One-eyed Blood Wolf, Double Swords Gentleman

"Hehe, working for Young Master Jade is something I should do."

The stable manager chuckled, "It’s just a pity that girl Huyan Lan left with that stranger."

"No problem, I’ve already sent people out.

If the soft approach doesn’t work, we’ll go hard. Get rid of that trouble, and capture Huyan Lan alive.

That way, I can finally indulge in the good things I’ve been looking forward to all these days."

Tuo Ba Yu coldly laughed, "Ever since I saw those twin sisters last time, I haven’t been able to forget them."

...

Frosty Town, the bustling level on the streets is no less than that of Eight Immortals County City.

There’s an eye-catching tavern in town.

About three stories high, the entire structure is made of precious redwood.

It should be said that besides the Tuoba Mansion, this is probably the liveliest place in town today.

Ling Xiao brought Huyan Lan into the tavern, sitting by the window on the third floor, leisurely enjoying the view of the entire Frosty Town while eating and chatting.

Huyan Lan might not have sensed anything.

But Ling Xiao did feel a constant murderous aura emanating from that burly man in black across from them.

The murderous aura was faint.

The man in black had suppressed it as much as possible, but it couldn’t escape Ling Xiao’s Tai Chi Eye.

However, Ling Xiao did not act rashly; he planned to see how things unfolded.

The man in black at this moment was wearing an eye patch, possibly because he had lost an eye.

With blood-red long hair, it seemed not natural, but due to excessive killing, resulting in an anomaly of his inner strength.

His face bore numerous scars, almost rendering him unrecognizable.

It made him somewhat sinister, and many people dared not look at him closely.

However, Ling Xiao noticed that this man had hands that were unmistakably meant for killing.

And those eyes—a brutal gleam within them.

Despite his best efforts to hide it, he still couldn’t completely evade Ling Xiao’s scrutiny.

After drinking a pot of wine, the man in black suddenly asked coldly, "Brat, you’ve been staring at me for quite a while, what’s your business?"

Ling Xiao thought he had been discovered and was about to stand up.

But he saw someone sitting just two or three meters away from his table.

A young man.

The young man carried two swords on his back, with striking brows and eyes, radiating a heroic and aloof aura.

He slowly stood up, saying coldly, "You are the so-called cold-blooded assassin of the Dark Divine Temple’s Chen Dynasty branch—the One-eyed Blood Wolf?"

The man in black’s solitary eye flashed with brilliant light, licking his lips as he sneered, "That’s right, it’s me."

"I thought so, in that case, prepare to die!

One-eyed Blood Wolf, ten years ago, you killed my father and almost killed me too. Luckily, I was spared, and fell into a deep valley, accidentally learning an ultimate skill.

Today, will you commit suicide, or should I do it for you?

Make your choice!"

The young man stood with his hands behind his back, full of confidence.

On hearing this, the One-eyed Blood Wolf paused, then burst out laughing: "Hahaha, I’ve killed so many people, I don’t even recognize you, you insignificant nobody.

You’re merely at the First Layer Hell of Yin-Yang Realm Cultivation, Early Stage, and you dare to look down on me.

I don’t care who you are, now that you’re here, don’t think about leaving alive."

With countless murders to his name, the One-eyed Blood Wolf, as an assassin of the Dark Divine Temple’s Chen Dynasty branch, was naturally pursued by many foes.

Yet over the past decades, he lived well, because he was cunning enough, ruthless enough.

And despicable enough!

Faced with such inexperienced youngsters seeking revenge, he relished it; with just a few tricks, they’d undoubtedly die.

"So, you’re not going to kill yourself, are you? Fine, I’ll just have to do it myself!"

The young man drew the double swords from his back, gazing coldly at the One-eyed Blood Wolf, saying, "By the way, let me tell you, I have a title, called ’Double Swords Gentleman’."

"Double Swords Gentleman!

Ah, he’s the renowned Double Swords Gentleman recently famous in the Jianghu, said to have strength comparable to the Jade Fan Young Master.

He’s particularly famous in this generation."

"It really is him, this One-eyed Blood Wolf has no hope against him."

"That’s for sure! The One-eyed Blood Wolf is certainly not his match."

In the tavern, those who had heard of the name Double Swords Gentleman were not a few.

"Jade Fan Young Master, you’ve come too, damn it!"

At this moment, the One-eyed Blood Wolf suddenly looked toward downstairs and shouted in surprise.

Many people, following his actions, looked toward downstairs.

Including the Double Swords Gentleman.

Yet at this moment, the One-eyed Blood Wolf suddenly made a move, drawing a curved blade and slashing at the Double Swords Gentleman with extreme speed.

"Not good!"

The Double Swords Gentleman sensed something was wrong and hurriedly defended.

But because he was too hasty, he got cut with the blade, tumbling and crawling, even getting his shoulder wounded.

Since the One-eyed Blood Wolf failed to kill the Double Swords Gentleman in one blow, he did not linger in battle but retreated, watching the Double Swords Gentleman coldly.

"You’re so despicable!"

The Double Swords Gentleman climbed up from the ground, furious and embarrassed.

"I’m despicable? I’m afraid you’re just too stupid; your cultivation level is indeed a bit stronger than mine, but so what? In terms of combat experience, not even ten of you are my match."

The One-eyed Blood Wolf sneered disdainfully.

"Damn it, I’ll kill you!"

The Double Swords Gentleman roared, the sword light on his two longswords suddenly increased by a few meters, the terrifying Sword Qi sending chills to the bone.

In Ling Xiao’s view, if this person were to confront the One-eyed Blood Wolf head-on, he would surely win.

It’s just a pity, combat is never that simple.

The Double Swords Gentleman is likely to fall here today.

When the terrifying Sword Qi was less than a foot from the One-eyed Blood Wolf, it suddenly broke apart.

The Double Swords Gentleman spewed black blood, his expression instantly stiffening.

"You! Your blade is poisoned!"

He looked at the One-eyed Blood Wolf, unwilling to accept this outcome.

"Who said my blade wasn’t poisoned?"

The One-eyed Blood Wolf sneered disdainfully, a flash of cold light on his curved blade as he sliced off the Double Swords Gentleman’s head.

"Hahaha, what a joke these so-called young geniuses are."

He laughed hysterically, then kicked the Double Swords Gentleman’s corpse flying.

The direction the body flew, neither too biased nor too direct, was aimed right at Ling Xiao.

It seemed unintentional, but it made Ling Xiao vigilant.

He originally had no interest in this duel, but if one of them intended to cause him trouble, he wouldn’t be polite.

The corpse blocked Ling Xiao’s view.

The One-eyed Blood Wolf suddenly moved, faster than when he wounded the Double Swords Gentleman earlier.

The blade pierced through the Double Swords Gentleman’s corpse, a smile appearing on the One-eyed Blood Wolf’s face.

This time, he took a commission to kill this young man; the encounter with the Double Swords Gentleman was just an accident.

This young man should be easier to deal with than the Double Swords Gentleman, right?

So easy to succeed.

This Spirit Stone, it’s almost too easy to earn.
