Gu Xizhi's heart went cold, and he felt that the Tianlong Sword Technique he had practiced all his life was completely meaningless under this knife mark.
Jingtan layman stared at his palms, calculating countless changes in his mind, but he knew that he would still be killed on the spot by this sword.
Chi Lin's eyes widened, his face looked uncertain and a little pale.
"As expected of the Nine Shocking Swordsmen!
“Sure enough, the gods are shocked and the ghosts are crying!!”
Mr. Da sat on the roof of the restaurant and spoke softly, stroking his hands and smiling.
After everyone heard this, they looked at the old man on the roof.
Chi Lin recognized it at a glance:
"It turns out to be Mr. Big!"
"This is actually the Nine Shocking Blades?"
Gu Xizhi's face was full of astonishment: "It is rumored that this sword was lost a hundred years ago. Twenty years ago, a master held the sword and killed the masters of the world one after another. It was also suspected that he used this sword technique.
"Mr. Da, are you sure that this...is the Nine Frightening Blades?"
"Hey."
Mr. Da smiled calmly:
"Believe it or not... let me figure it out.
"One sword strikes ghosts and gods! Two swords are invisible! Three swords are endless! Four swords mark life and death!
"Now I still owe five of the nine swords, but I don't know what kind of amazing talent there will be!
“Wonderful, so wonderful!
"Well, Jiang Shaoxia has not yet had a name passed down to the world...
"Today's sword skill shocked everyone. It can be said that it is 'the shocking sword appears, making life and death clear'.
"How about I give you the three words 'Shocking Divine Sword'?"
"...it sounds ugly."
Jiang Ran denied it on the spot.
"Shocking Sword! 'Shocking Sword' Jiang Ran!"
"What a stunning sword!"
Gu Xizhi and Jingtan layman nodded repeatedly, feeling that the name was appropriate.
Jiang Ran frowned. None of the parties involved agreed. Can you please take it easy?
Can't you give yourself a nicer name?
Moreover, if the Jingshen Sword is associated with the Nine Jingshen Swords, isn't it because we didn't play it and let others know the trump card?
Of course, the latter actually doesn't matter.
As his reputation grows, his martial arts trump cards will always be revealed one by one.
At that time, no matter what your name is, it won't matter.
But this is not the time to dwell on this matter.
Among the three actors, the woodcutter, and the courtesan, there is only one actor left.
Seeing the death of Tan Du, he knew that the situation was over. Although his face was full of disbelief, he still made a decisive decision:
"punish!!!"
The disciples of Wushenglou always follow orders and prohibitions.
As soon as they heard the word shouted by the actor, they turned around and ran away without even thinking about it!!
On the contrary, Ben Lei Tang and others who were well prepared were stunned.
We’ve agreed to ‘kill’ him, so why bother running around?
The actor was the first to bear the brunt. He flicked his two Liuyun sleeves, covered one of the cornices, and jumped away.
But while the man was still in mid-air, a knife mark had already appeared on his body.
Before reaching the cornice, the body had already separated on both sides, with the lower body falling to the ground and the upper body hanging on the wall.
Jiang Ran has already reached the eaves.
He pressed the handle of the knife with one hand and closed his eyes.
The next moment, the sword dance!
An invisible blade drew a circle in the sky and ran in all directions.
Wherever the sword light passed, the killers of Wushenglou who were running away and trying to escape suddenly fell to the ground like dumplings falling into the water.
This sword kills the killer of Wushenglou. It’s incredible.
Broken limbs and broken arms were scattered all over the sky.
"One knife... ghosts and gods are shocked!"
Mr. Big spoke softly.
Chi Lin woke up from his dream. He had just seen the people in Wushenglou leaving and wanted to give an order to pursue them.
Fortunately, the words were not spoken, otherwise, the corpses in the field must be those of his Benlei Hall disciples.
Seeing Jiang Ran put away his sword and stand up, he quickly said:
“When you have done all you can to eliminate evil, you must not leave any roots of trouble behind.”
The disciples of Benleitang then chased each other out one after another to catch the fish that had slipped through Jiang Ran's sword.
Jiang Ran had already flown down from the roof.
First he glanced at Chi Lin and smiled slightly:
"It turns out that he is a friend of Benleitang. I am under Jiang Ran. I wonder what I should call you, brother?"
"Jiang Ran..."
Chi Lin had heard Mr. Da, Gu Xizhi and others mention his name before.
But when Jiang Ran reported his name, he suddenly realized:
"It turns out that you are Jiang Ran who is going to hold a tea tasting and piano appreciation party at Sunset Ping of Sanxian Mountain.
"Sure enough, he is so heroic and the Jingshen Sword lives up to its reputation!
"I'm Chi Lin, Benlei Hall ranks third.
"Young Master Jiang calls me Chi Laosan."
"..."
Has this name been called?
Jiang Ran gave Mr. Da a hard look.
Mr. Da lowered his eyebrows and looked down, looking like he was easy to bully. However, his subordinates kept secretly writing "The Legend of the Golden Cicada" next to the five words "The Legend of the Golden Cicada".
Wandering between the two.
"Don't dare."
Jiang Ran's glance was fruitless, so he had no choice but to retract his gaze and look at Chi Lin again:
"It turns out that the third hall master was the one in front of Jiang. He was rude."
After a few polite exchanges, everyone had nowhere to sit down, so they simply re-entered the restaurant.
After casually sitting down, Jiang Ran asked Chi Lin about the purpose of his trip.
Chi Lin was a little surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Ran to be so direct, so he smiled and said:
"To be honest, Benleitang is also planning to go to Sunset Ping to participate in the tea tasting and piano appreciation conference this time.
"It's just that we are all a bunch of rough guys and don't understand much about this romance. After all, going to Sunset Ping is just to watch the excitement.
"I didn't expect that I would encounter Jiang Shaoxia on the road.
"Speaking of which, Jiang Shaoxia's journey has not been peaceful. I heard that Chen Zixuan of the Blood Sword Hall also brought people to attend this meeting.
"Although I don't want to speak ill of others behind closed doors, this person has evil intentions and is arrogant. If Jiang Shaoxia encounters him, please be careful."
"So that the Third Hall Master can know that this person died in Jianghu Road last night."
Jiang Ran smiled and said: "I'm afraid I won't have a chance to see you again from now on."
"What?"
Chi Lin was startled: "Dead? How did he die?"
"I killed him."
Jiang Ran smiled and said:
"We met by chance last night and he wanted to steal my things, so I took his life.
"Not a single one of the Blood Knife Hall disciples who were traveling with us was spared, and they all died in the forest... Speaking of which, I feel a little bit sad."
"..."
Do you look like you can't bear it at all?
Chi Lin could not help but look at Jiang Ran again, pondered for a moment and said:
"Chen Zixuan's death is not a pity. Since he wanted to plunder other people's things and was killed, there is nothing to blame.
“It’s just that Blood Knife Hall is extraordinary.
"Young Master Jiang killed them, I'm afraid Xuanyuan Yida will not let it go."
Having said this, Chi Lin hesitated for a moment. Just when he was about to speak, he heard his men coming to report.
The Wushenglou killers who wanted to escape have all been captured.
By this point in the battle, all the actors, woodcutters, and oirans had died.
The waiter in the shop was also beheaded in the chaos, but the fat man was rough-skinned and thick-flesh. Although the strange body-protecting skills he had practiced for many years had been broken, he was still not so easy to kill, and he could barely survive.
It's just that this person is of no use to Jiang Ran.
There was no need to take him with him on the road, so after he was brought up, he was stabbed to death by Jiang Ran.
He always kills people calmly and decisively, and never spares those who deserve to be killed.
Seeing this, Gu Xizhi frowned slightly again.
I always feel that Jiang Ran and I are not the same person.
The few more important people he brought later were all chopped up by Jiang Ran's sword.
Chi Lin didn't intend to cause further trouble.
Just ask people to kill them all outside the restaurant.
Finally, I couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ran:
"Young Master Jiang, don't you want to know who ordered your life in Wusheng Tower?"
"Do not want to know."
Jiang Ran smiled: "Because this matter is not important in the first place. After all, I am a knife catcher, so naturally I will have to make enemies with others.
"No matter how vicious a person is, they always have family and friends around them. To others, they are evil spirits, but to their friends, they are very important people.
"Therefore, there will always be people who hate me.
"I have known this truth since the first day I became a knife hunter.
"It's only now that someone hired a killer to kill me, which makes me feel a little surprised... It's been a little slow after all."
"Young Master Jiang is free and easy."
Chi Lin clasped his fists, quite impressed.
Jiang Ran smiled. In fact, hiring a killer to kill him was exactly what the question meant.
He himself even had expectations for it.
After all, he is a killer, and it is inevitable that he will be on the list. If you come one, you will earn one, if you come two, you will earn a pair.
It's a pity that after several months of debut in the world, no killer has come. Jiang Ran has almost forgotten about it.
Fortunately, now...it's late but it's arrived.
Then I looked through the Sword Holding Division's roster to see how many of them are on the list.
I wouldn’t know this until I read it, but after reading it, I was really surprised.
The actor, the cook, and the woodcutter were all on the list.
But the reward amount is not too high, each one is five hundred taels.
The most important thing is greed.
[Greed is one of the five poisons of Wushenglou. His martial arts are unpredictable. He has been in the world for many years. He can assassinate our imperial officials with a palm count. There are many good players in the world.】
[Special reward of five hundred taels of gold, life or death!]
[Those who kill this official can use the Five Poison Order to kill him and receive a reward of silver!]
"Five Poison Order?"
Jiang Ran glanced at the token Tang Huayi was playing with, and stretched out his hand to her:
"Give me."
"what?"
Tang Huayi was a little reluctant: "The material of this token is good. Later I want to find a place to shoot a few hidden weapons."
"What kind of hidden weapon can you use?"
Jiang Ran snatched the sign from her hand.
"...What the hell is going on in this world? Knife-hunting people have adopted the habits of bandits and actually rob other people's things."
Ruan Yuqing smiled when he heard this:
"This person was killed by Young Master Jiang."
"I searched for the trophies!"
Tang Huayi wanted to put her hands on her hips, but when she thought about Li Tianxin's face, she held it back. However, she did not forget to look up at the beams and let out a "hum" sound in her mouth to express her disdain.
"It doesn't belong to whoever plundered it."
Jiang Ran rolled his eyes at her, took the token back to his waist, and then hugged Chi Lin:
"It made the Third Hall Master laugh."
Chi Lin shook his head: "I'm serious. The deep friendship between you all makes me envious. Well, it's getting late, and I still have something to do. It's not convenient for me to bother you here, so I'll take my leave first."
"oh?"
Jiang Ran glanced at him and smiled:
"I just heard from the Third Hall Master that this trip was also going to Sunset Ping.
"I thought I had a chance to go all the way with the Third Hall Master."
"It's no chance this time."
Chi Lin smiled and said: "Before arriving at Sunset Ping, my second brother has another important task to entrust, so he can no longer go with Young Master Jiang."
"I see."
Jiang Ran nodded: "Since it's hard to stay here any longer, then the three hall masters should leave slowly."
"Farewell."
Everyone stood up and sent each other off.
After sending Chi Lin and the people from Benleitang out of the restaurant, they turned back again.
Sitting on the chair, Jiang Ran took out the Five Poison Token from his waist and played with it, thoughtfully.
Gu Xizhi stood up:
"Since the matter here is over, I'll take my leave first."
"Senior Gu is planning to follow you all the way?"
Jiang Ran glanced at him: "Why bother? If we don't take care of it enough and we suffer a loss, what will we do?"
"..."
Gu Xizhi was speechless for a while after hearing this. After looking at Jiang Ran, he sighed:
"The amazing skill of the Shocking Divine Sword is unparalleled in the world, even I can never come close to it.
"In this world, if someone can snatch Jiaowei away from you, there is nothing I can do.
"Farewell!"
As he spoke, he wanted to take the archer in black away.
Tang Huayi said quickly: "Stay here."
"What's the matter with you?"
Gu Xizhi glared at her.
I really don't have a good impression of this 'nosy' swordsman.
"Senior, you can leave if you want. This person is the killer of Wushenglou. We cannot allow senior to take him away."
"you!"
Gu Xizhi's eyes darkened. In fact, there was no benefit in taking the killer from Wushenglou away.
I don't even know how to deal with it.
However, if you stay here, this person will undoubtedly die... Although death is not a pity for people in Wushenglou, they will be executed without instruction after all.
It made him a little unwilling.
But after taking a look at Jiang Ran, he finally sighed:
"That's all... what you do is unbenevolent after all."
"Sir, please speak from the bottom of your heart."
Jiang Ran sighed: "Benevolence and righteousness are only used for kind people, and not everyone deserves it. For example, Senior Ancient, people like you deserve to be treated with kindness and righteousness by us... But if it were anyone else, they would not deserve it.
of."
"..."
Hearing this, Gu Xizhi was silent for a moment, lightly clasped his fists, turned and left.
Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Huayi:
"Is he the one who shot arrows on the roof earlier?"
"kindness."
Tang Huayi nodded: "I just went out for a walk, and then I found this person shooting you on the roof... It was very exciting."
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, feeling that this demonic witch girl really had no shame.
Why does this sound so awkward?
Ruan Yuqing's eyes widened:
"Brother Li, you... what kind of arrogant words are you talking about?"
"...Do you understand?"
Tang Huayi was shocked.
Ruan Yuqing shook her head quickly: "No, I didn't understand anything."
Luo Qingyi looked at Ruan Yuqing and then at Tang Huayi, confused for a moment.
I couldn't help but glance at Man Shengming, who was still confused:
"What's the meaning?"
Man Shengming glanced at him with a look that hated iron but not steel:
"fool."
Luo Qingyi was somewhat dissatisfied:
"Then do you understand?"
"without."
"Then you still have the nerve to call me stupid?"
"I have practiced the Elephant Divine Fist to make you look like this. Whether I understand or not, it doesn't stop me from telling you that you are stupid!"
Luo Qingyi retorted: "You... you, you, you... you are like this, you have the nerve... to accuse me... that I am stupid?"
Man Shengming was furious:
"No...no no no...don't...don't learn...learn how to talk to me!"
"Go to school."
Mr. Big was just chewing his teeth and flowers:
"You should shut up now. You are not tired of talking, but I am tired of listening."
Jingtan layman smiled dumbly, looked at Jiang Ran, and said thoughtfully:
"Young Master Jiang was deep in thought just now, but were you thinking about Chi Lin?"
Jiang Ran glanced at Jingtan layman unexpectedly:
"Does the layman have any insight?"
As soon as this statement came out, he undoubtedly acknowledged what Jingtan layman said.
Ruan Yuqing was stunned for a moment:
"What happened to this third hall master?"
"What a coincidence."
Tang Huayi said:
"Wushenglou must be careful when doing things.
"If Benleitang was nearby, they would not have noticed it and would have made plans in advance.
"It doesn't seem like a coincidence that they arrived so promptly."
Ruan Yuqing nodded:
"But this alone is not enough."
Jingtan layman smiled and said:
"After Chi Lin arrived, he went straight into the hinterland, hoping to break into the battle between Jiang Shaoxia and Greedy Du.
"What its purpose is, it's hard to fathom."
Jiang Ran nodded:
"Imagine if today both me and Greed are hurt, and I die in the palm of Greed.
"After he came, he used the power of Benleitang to get everyone involved under the guise of eradicating evil.
"This Jiaowei...whose hands should it be now?"
Ruan Yuqing nodded slightly:
"If this is true, then this person is probably afraid of your unpredictable martial arts, Young Master Jiang."
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"The tip of the knife licks blood, and the way to deal with martial arts warriors is never just about martial arts.
"What makes me unsure of this person's thoughts is that I have clearly given him a chance just now, giving him many opportunities to get Jiaowei from me.
"He gave up...
"And this happened after I revealed my grudge against the Blood Sword Hall.
"I guess if this person really has evil intentions and wants to get Jiaowei.
"Then this move may be just like they used Wusheng Building to attack us, they want to use Blood Knife Hall to attack us.
"Either I really misunderstood this person's thoughts.
"He came here purely by chance, and left because he did not want to have a grudge with the Blood Sword Hall."
After saying this, he paused slightly:
“In short, it’s better to be careful, dealing with these gangs is too troublesome.
"There's no benefit in killing someone... Just avoid it if you can."
Everyone nodded.
But at this moment, the black-clothed archer suddenly groaned, spit out a mouthful of blood, and woke up leisurely.
Looking around, he subconsciously tightened his grip on the large and somewhat exaggerated long bow.
Just confused eyes:
"Where is this?
"You, who are you?
"I...who am I?"
…

ps: Today’s update is due to a serious illness... It rained heavily yesterday and I didn’t get an injection. Today, my whole throat is swollen and I feel groggy. I barely managed to write a chapter and couldn’t move.
Moreover, I have to ask for a monthly vote for the single update. Don’t blame me for being shameless. The main reason is that it’s the end of the month. If you don’t vote, it will be a waste.
