Chapter 125: Murder in the Marketplace
"Lin Ge, you're really something!" Fang Qingxue exclaimed sincerely. "Little sister can't catch up with you again!"
"Qingfeng sister, you're quite formidable! No need to be so angry with us, okay?" Su Ying pouted.
Fang Qingxiang had just successfully broken through to the sixth stage of Hu Xing Quan a month ago, and her talent was indeed exceptional. To think that she was even younger than Lin Feng by several days, and yet she was already fourteen years old.
Compared with Lin Feng who was also fourteen years old but had already reached the seventh level of Hu Xing Quan, Fang Qing Shuang was still slightly inferior.
"Lin Feng, you little devil! Fourteen years old and already a 7th rank strong practitioner of the Tiger Form Fist! That's rare even in the entire history of the Xuanwu Heavy Cavalry!"
Yuan Ce also said: "At this rate... it's possible that Lin Feng might really avenge Da Ge Yun and sister Lian!"
As soon as the names Ma Lian'er and Yun Zhiya were mentioned, everyone fell silent instantly. The two of them were the true souls of the Falcon Squad, although they had fallen, but could not be forgotten.
"If that day comes... I will surely trample the Ba Dao Gate, and comfort the souls of Yun Da Ge and Lian Er Jie Jie!" Lin Feng said with a clenched fist.
"Lin Dage successfully broke through today, it's a great joy, everyone shouldn't be so serious, how about we go have a drink together?" Su Yan suggested.
"Haha, great! Such a joyful occasion, of course we have to drink a toast!" he said with a smile.
"Today's celebration, of course, is outside the military camp. In Wulin City, the beauty of Yixiaolou is the most famous for her tears. Today I'll be the host, let's go to Yixiaolou and have a good drink!" Yuan Ce proposed with a smile.
"What's Yī Xiào Lóu?" Su Ying and Fang Qingxiang exchanged a glance, both of their faces turned red. Having been in Wūlín City for several months, how could they not know what that place was?
"Haha, then let's go to Yixiaolou! Meirenlei, Liu and I haven't had a drink in a long time. After a few months when we retire, I'm afraid we won't be able to drink again!" Chen Gang also laughed.
"Then let's go to Yixiaolou! But this time we're just going for a drink!" Lin Feng said with a smile, glancing at Fang Qingxia and the two girls.
"Lin Feng brothers, Yilou was originally a place for drinking, can't do anything else?" Yuan Ce blinked.
"Haha!" Everyone burst out laughing, and Fang Qingfeng and Su Ying also laughed with red faces.
"Let's go!" A group of people left the military camp and headed towards Yixiaolou in the most prosperous area of Wulin City.
The front hall of Yilou, however, does not look like a place for romantic trysts. Its layout is similar to that of ordinary taverns. But its furnishings are extremely elegant and much more upscale than those of ordinary taverns.
Everyone chose a elegant room on the second floor facing the street and sat down. Two beautiful women brought wine and dishes, then bowed their heads and stood by.
Su Ying curiously sized up the two women, seeing that they both had beautiful faces and a lot of temperament, with no signs of travel fatigue on their bodies, and couldn't help but secretly admire them.
Such a dignified and gentle woman, could she be someone who would indulge in a romantic tryst for just a few gold coins?
"What are your names?" Su Yan asked.
"It's better not to mention the name of a dead clan." A woman looked at Su Yan with surprise and said in a low voice.
"Su Yan, don't ask anymore. Every woman here has a sorrowful past. Yixiaolou has its own rules, and you're being impolite by prying like this."
"How much gold coins are needed to redeem two women like this?" Su Yan's sympathetic heart began to overflow.
"Ransom? What a joke!" He laughed, "They can indeed be ransomed, but the price for any one of them would leave you bankrupt! The One Smile Tower sets the ransom price based on your status, and any price they set will be unbearable. For the same woman, the asking price might be over a hundred gold coins for a poor man, while for a rich person, prices in the millions or tens of millions are common."
"Is it this dark?" Su Yan widened her eyes.
Yuan Ce smiled and said, "Because they don't actually want you to really buy out these women, they just hope you'll know it's difficult and give up. The foundation of Yixiaolou is extremely deep, and the backing is said to be so powerful that even our sect doesn't dare offend them. So here, let's just drink wine and not think about those extra things anymore!"
Su Yan took a glance at the two women and also shook his head. Originally, he indeed had the idea of rescuing these two women from their suffering, but now it seemed that he could only give up on that thought.
"Come on, everyone, taste this beautiful tears!" **Laughing, he opened the mud-sealed wine jar, and a clear and elegant fragrance wafted out.
Just smelling this fragrance gives one a heart-wrenching feeling. Mei Ren Lei (Beautiful Person's Tears), indeed lives up to its name.
However, everyone was a strong person and naturally easily discarded this strange emotion.
A woman walked forward and silently filled everyone's wine cups in front of them.
Lin Feng raised his wine cup and took a sip, feeling an unusually sweet and refreshing taste, and silently praised: "Good wine!"
The room was facing the most prosperous street in Wulin City, and everything on the street was in sight. The crowd was drinking and chatting casually, also extremely lively.
"Huh?"
Lin Feng sat by the window, watching the three people walking briskly on the distant street, when he suddenly felt an extremely dangerous feeling rising in his heart!
Among the three, in the middle was a refined and elegant young man with a face as white as jade. The aura emanating from his body indicated that he was also a powerful seventh-rank Tiger Form Fist practitioner. On his left side, an old man did not emit even the slightest bit of aura, seemingly just an ordinary person. To the right of the young man was an unremarkable-looking middle-aged man who was actually a fifth-rank Tiger Form Fist strongman.
It's not uncommon to see such a strong person in the city of Wulin. The strong are not all within the Xuanwu Heavy Cavalry, and sometimes the children of some major forces on the Xuanwu Continent also appear south of the Tian Nan mountain range.
Among the three, the strongest was that young man. However, upon seeing these three people, Lin Feng felt an extreme sense of danger. It was a kind of intuition that only strong soul masters like him possessed.
Lin Feng's mind had already communicated with the Jade Pendant space, and he was ready to draw his sword at any moment.
Three people walked towards the direction of Yixiaolou with big strides, as if they were going to enter the building.
The man on the right side of the young man suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Feng, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered in the young man's ear.
The young man nodded slightly and looked up at Lin Feng, his eyes filled with a chill.
"So you're Lin Feng?" The young man stopped in his tracks, looking at Lin Feng with an icy tone.
Inside the hall, everyone stood up and looked downstairs.
"I am Lin Feng. Who are you?" Lin Feng said in a low voice.
"Qūn Yù Zōng, Liǔ Nán!" The young man said in a cold voice.
"Kun Yu Zong's person!" Lin Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Lin Feng, I know you are Lin Heng's son. It was your father who caused my mother, Lady Xuehua, to lose her life back then!" Liu Nan said coldly. "Today, I will kill you and avenge my mother!"
"You think you can?" Lin Feng sneered.
"Duan Yun Lao, kill them!" Liu Nan said coldly.
"Yes, Young Master Wu."
The old man on the left side of Liu Nan raised his head, with a killing intent in his eyes, and a faint white glow emanated from the surface of his body.
"Samurai!" Everyone was shocked.
Lin Feng now also understood why he felt in danger, a seventh-grade Tiger Fist guy was not supposed to make him feel in danger. It turned out that this guy who couldn't see the aura was actually a martial artist!
"It's dangerous today!" Lin Feng thought to himself.
Although there were eight of them, this one warrior was enough to annihilate everyone. The difference in strength was too great, and they couldn't even put up a fight!
"Lin Feng, hurry up! We'll block him!" Chen Gang and Liu Kun exchanged a glance, simultaneously standing in front of Lin Feng.
"Get going, he's looking for me, not you!" Lin Feng shouted.
"Hmph! None of you will be leaving today!" Duan Yun's voice was cold as his body suddenly leapt up.
Whoosh!
The young man on the right suddenly flashed slightly and moved behind the old man, then his right hand gently pushed forward.
"Ah!" A loud cry of despair, he lowered his head and looked down, his face filled with shock.
In the man's hand, a dull and lightless dagger was stuck in his waist!
The face of the Chinese character has no expression, but the dagger in his hand is rotating and expanding the wound.
"'You...how...' Yun's voice was hoarse and grew weaker and weaker until he unwillingly fell to the ground."
"Ji Da, you...you..." Liu Nan's face was filled with shock and horror. "You killed Duan Yun Elder, how is this possible? Why did you do such a thing?"
Duan Yun was a first-rate warrior, how could he be killed by someone like Ji Da?
That man didn't respond, his figure flashed like a ghost, and the dagger had already slashed open Liu Nan's throat!
The strong man of the seventh rank of Tiger Fist, Liu Nan, is as weak as a small chicken in front of him!
Blood spurted wildly from the wound on his neck, and a snarling sound came from his mouth as he fell to the ground unwillingly.
He never thought that the person who sold him Lin Heng's son's intelligence at a high price would take his life!
Looking at the dull dagger in Han's hand, a name suddenly flashed into Liu Nan's mind.
"Blade of the Dark Night..."
But as soon as this thought emerged, his consciousness fell into endless darkness...
…………
The people of the Falcon Team on the second floor of Yixiaolou were all stunned!
I was already prepared to fight with all my might, but I didn't expect things to change so quickly!
That Kun Yu Zong's warrior was actually easily beheaded!
This person who looks like he's just at the fifth level of Tiger Fist is actually a deeply hidden master!
"Yao Nan has been killed, and I'll send Kun Yu Zong a first-class martial artist as a gift. Old friend, you've made a profit this time. Pay the remaining money today, or else be careful with your eggs."
The sound still echoed on the street, but the man's figure was gone.
Everyone in the Falcon Team looked at each other in confusion, unable to understand what was going on.
"Ah!" Su Ying suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Lin Feng asked.
"Lin, brother, what does that killer look like? Do you remember?"
"......Nothing." Lin Feng thought back and was shocked that he couldn't recall the man's appearance at all, his heart also filled with alarm.
"I also can't remember what he looked like!" Fang Qingxiang's pretty face also showed a look of surprise.
"Damn it, I've also forgotten! What kind of trick is this?!" He said with a bitter smile.
Everyone looked at each other in shock and dismay.
…………
In the next room, a tall man is drinking alone.
This man was none other than Centurion Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang's heart also turned cold as he recalled Ji Songfeng's ghostly methods.
Many years ago, he occasionally learned about Jisongfeng's identity. Today was also his first time to witness Jisongfeng's strength.
"This guy is really strong enough!"
"The Night Blade Clan in the Tian Nan Mountains is just a small assassin, yet it's so powerful! The Night Blade, truly one of the strongest assassin organizations on the continent!"
