Chapter 6 Trouble
After leaving the Deacon's Hall, Ling Chen immediately set out to go down the mountain.
Riding on a fast horse, Ling Chen rode alone and left the others far behind on the road leading to the Heavenly Demon Forest.
A small border town near the Demon Forest.
After traveling for most of the day, Ling Chen was ready to take a break in this small town.
Arriving at the largest inn in the city, Ling Chen chose a seat by the window and sat down, ordering some wine and snacks. He had only had dry food and fresh water along the way, and now he could finally enjoy some fine wine and delicious food.
However, Ling Chen had just sat down when a discussion started from the next table.
"Have you heard that the world's number one sect, the Shenyi Sect, the leader of the righteous sects, has suffered a major change that has not been seen in hundreds of years. Sect leader Ling Tianyu died, and more than half of the masters of the Shenyi Sect were killed or injured, and their vitality was severely damaged."
"I've known this for a long time. The current Shenyi Sect is no longer worthy of the title of the world's number one sect."
"What a pity! This is a huge blow to the righteous people in the martial arts world. All of this is caused by that evil witch Liu Xiling."
"Humph, if this damned witch falls into my hands, I will make her taste the pain of death and ecstasy."
The last person to speak was a short, fat man with a wretched appearance and an obscene smile on his face.
"Hehe, that witch is a peerless beauty. Although she is a little older, I like this kind of mature stuff. She will definitely do a good job."
Another bald man also echoed with a lewd smile.
call out!
Just as the bald man finished speaking, there was a sound of breaking wind, and suddenly, a wine glass shot into the air and hit the bald man's head hard, causing his head to bleed instantly.
"who?"
Several people were shocked, and then their eyes were locked on the direction where the wine glass came from. That was where Ling Chen was.
"Boy, why did you suddenly attack me?"
The bald man looked gloomy and shouted sternly.
"You ignorant rat, you utter foul language. I'm being merciful by not killing you. Get lost!"
Ling Chen said calmly.
"How arrogant! How dare a mere first-level kid act so presumptuously in front of Grandpa? You're courting death!"
"This kid spoke for that witch, he must be a member of the Demon Sect. Big brother, don't be soft-hearted, kill him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the short and fat man and the bald man drew their weapons almost at the same time and attacked Ling Chen fiercely.
sonorous!
With a sharp gaze, Ling Chen immediately drew his sword from its sheath, moving as fast as a rabbit. The sword light flashed like a rainbow. At the moment of drawing the sword from the sheath, a dazzling sword light swept through the air, and the reflection just happened to refract through the eyes of the short and fat man and the bald man.
"not good!"
The two of them quickly closed their eyes, screaming in their hearts that something was wrong.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, the sword light had left a long mark on the two men's bodies, and blood splattered five steps away in an instant, blowing the two men four or five meters away and smashing the tables and chairs to pieces.
clang!
Sheathing the sword, Ling Chen remained calm and composed, as if he had not made any move from beginning to end.
"What?"
Everyone in the hall was shocked. These two people fighting one were actually no match for Ling Chen, and the latter looked so young.
"Amazing! He defeated the enemy with one sword. What a master."
A warrior watching the fight exclaimed in amazement. Ling Chen drew his sword, thrust it out, and sheathed it in one smooth motion. He did not look like a 15-year-old boy at all. He looked more like a veteran swordsman with the demeanor of a master.
"Brothers, come together and destroy this guy!"
The two bald men covered their chests and shouted at their companions. There were warriors at the third level among them, and he didn't believe that they couldn't deal with Ling Chen.
After exchanging glances, the remaining martial artists drew their weapons and rushed towards Ling Chen.
For a moment, Ling Chen was attacked from all sides, with swords flashing everywhere and he had no idea how to advance or retreat.
"You little bastard, I'll make you crazy, prepare to die!"
A sinister smile appeared on the bald man's face. In his opinion, Ling Chen was already a turtle in a jar, a lamb to be slaughtered.
However, Ling Chen did not even look at it. He unsheathed his sword again. This time, the moment the sword light flashed, it seemed to be mixed with a hint of dragon's roar, which was shocking.
The mighty sword force surged out like a wave.
Bang bang bang!
Anyone touched by the sword tip flew backwards like a dead dog. In the blink of an eye, all the warriors who had been besieging Ling Chen were defeated. The bald man even vomited blood and rolled over.
The inn had already fallen silent.
Everyone looked at Ling Chen in awe. They knew that these bullies had really hit a wall this time. This young man must have an extraordinary background.
With a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, Ling Chen walked towards the bald man step by step.
Seeing this, the bald man was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly begged for mercy, "We are guilty of not recognizing a great man, and deserve death , but please spare us for the sake of our boss, the Evil Blood Swordsman."
"Yes, young man, please be magnanimous and give us some mercy." The remaining few people begged for mercy one after another.
"You just said, who is your boss? The Evil Blood Swordsman?"
Ling Chen originally wanted to kill these people, but when he heard the name of the Evil Blood Swordsman, he suddenly stopped and then asked.
"Yes, it's our boss."
The bald man's face lit up with joy, thinking that Ling Chen hesitated because he knew the name of the Evil Blood Swordsman.
"So you are the Evil Blood Swordsman's men. You can go now." Ling Chen smiled and actually planned to let a few of them go.
"Thank you, young man!"
The bald man and others were overjoyed and ran away in panic.
Looking at the fleeing backs of several people, the smile on Ling Chen's face quickly disappeared. He let these people go, not because he suddenly had a kind heart, but because he wanted to use these people to find the whereabouts of the Evil Blood Swordsman.
After drinking the tea in the cup, Ling Chen followed.
In the west of the city, in a run-down alley.
After the bald man and his companions left the inn, they came here. In front of them stood a middle-aged man in a blood-stained robe.
The middle-aged man in the blood-stained robe had a rather ferocious look, a long sword on his back, and a hint of brutality in his eyes.
This is the evil-blooded swordsman who is notorious in this area.
In front of him, the bald man also appeared extremely respectful.
"What does that boy look like?"
The Evil Blood Swordsman asked coldly.
"He's about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing white clothes. He's just a little kid, but his swordsmanship is amazing."
The bald man recalled Ling Chen's appearance and said quickly, "Boss, you have to help us. I think that guy is still in the inn. We can definitely catch him if we go back now!"
"idiot!"
The Evil Blood Swordsman slapped the bald man half to death with one palm, "This guy is most likely a disciple of the Divine Will Sect. He deliberately let you go in order to follow the clues and find my whereabouts. Now I'm afraid this guy has succeeded."
After saying that, the Evil Blood Swordsman also looked towards the alley entrance, where he saw a young swordsman walking slowly.
"As expected of you, you are the Evil Blood Swordsman. No wonder you have been at large for so many years and no one has been able to kill you."
The young swordsman was Ling Chen. This method of following the clues was indeed effective, and he found the whereabouts of the evil-blood swordsman so easily.
Although this evil-blood swordsman was cunning, the IQ of his subordinates was very low, so it was not surprising that he found them.
The evil-blooded swordsman's face darkened at first, but then he saw through Ling Chen's martial arts realm and laughed, "Humph, I thought he was some powerful character, but a mere fourth-level kid dares to challenge him?"
" Of course I'm not a powerful person, but killing you is enough."
A fierce look suddenly flashed in Ling Chen's eyes, and then he used his body skills to quickly approach the Evil Blood Swordsman.
"Kill him!"
The evil-blooded swordsman shouted grimly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the bald man and others drew their weapons and rushed out.
Seeing this, Ling Chen's face showed a murderous intent. The moment those people rushed in front of him, he suddenly jumped up and swept his sword across the air!
Puff puff!
The sword flashed, and blood marks appeared on the necks of several bald men, and blood gushed out.
"I have some skills."
At this moment, the Evil Blood Swordsman moved. He suddenly drew out the big sword on his back. The blade was extremely wide and the sword was fierce. He chopped it down towards Ling Chen's crown.
clang!
Swords clashed, sparks flew, and both men retreated dozens of steps.
The whole alley was suddenly filled with murderous aura and billowing dust.
"Evil Blood Sword Technique, Zanpakutsu!"
The evil-blooded swordsman shouted loudly, turned his body, raised the sword with both hands and chopped it down fiercely. There was a layer of true energy covering the surface of the sword, which made the blade's light longer by half an inch.
With one slash of the knife, a wave of air rolled and the air vibrated.
This Evil Blood Sword Technique is originally a top-grade human-level sword technique, and its power becomes even greater in the hands of an Evil Blood Swordsman.
"The dragon is hidden in the abyss!"
Ling Chen did not hesitate and directly used the Dragon-Seeking Sword Technique, adding a sharp sword force to this sword and counterattacked fiercely.
Click!
The Evil Blood Swordsman's sword light shattered, and the sword in his hand flew out directly, while the sword light pierced into the Evil Blood Swordsman's chest fiercely, and blood splattered.
"There's something strange about this kid!"
Almost killed by Ling Chen's sword, the Evil Blood Swordsman was horrified. He didn't even try to pick up the flying sword. He just turned around and fled, covering his chest.
"He's not dead?"
Ling Chen was shocked. He didn't expect that this evil-blooded swordsman was more resilient than he had imagined. This sword strike failed to kill him.
“Where are you going!”
Seeing the Evil Blood Swordsman fleeing frantically, Ling Chen also shouted loudly. How could he just watch the cooked duck fly away? The Evil Blood Swordsman had been seriously injured by him. He was only one move away from killing him completely and completing this mission.
However, just as Ling Chen was about to catch up, suddenly, the houses on both sides of the alley exploded, and seven or eight figures rushed out from them, blocking all the exits on both sides.
These people all looked very young. Ling Chen took a quick look and fixed his gaze on the young man in the lead with a sly smile on his face. It was none other than Meng Yuan, who had repeatedly caused trouble for him.
"you again?"
Ling Chen's face darkened. This guy actually followed him all the way here.
