Chapter 183: The Jianghu is small, and there are endless heads of people to kill!
The sound of the Chixiao Sword was not clear, but fierce.

This was the first time Li Guanyi felt Chi Xiao’s angry reaction.

The feeling of intensity was so intense that he felt as if he was about to fly out and cut something. Even encountering the aura of a overlord was not as strong as this. The only precious weapon on Li Guanyi's body, the Shaoyang Sword given by Aunt Chen Qingyan, seemed to be sensed by the Chixiao Sword and whistled faintly.

Li Guan paused, looked at the road that represented a certain degree of danger, and then looked at Yaoguang and the Taoist: "Since it is an opportunity, I am very interested, but after all, it is dangerous. I will send you to the safe town over there first, and then I will come back."

Yaoguang shook her head, and the girl said calmly:
"No matter where you are, I will be with you."

The ancient Taoist opened his eyes and glanced to the left. In just a moment, he seemed to have surpassed Yaoguang's stargazing and divination. A trace of anger seemed to float in the Taoist's eyes. The anger was like thunder, and in an instant, only the empty heart was left. He said:
"Left."

Li Guanyi grinned, shook the whip, and the old cow took a step forward. The young man said, "Master, you are so concise. Can you say a few more words?"

Taoist Cang Gu glanced at Li Guanyi indifferently.

No younger person had ever spoken to him like that.

He was not arrogant, but just had a simple nature. He just said:

"Dry mouth."

Li Guan laughed, stretched out his hand and grabbed a wine jar. Without even looking at it, he just shook his wrist and the wine jar flew backwards. Taoist Cang Gu, who was leaning against the guardrail of the ox cart, grabbed the wine jar casually.

He took a casual sip and then frowned.

"Sweet?"

The young Taoist laughed, raised his eyebrows proudly, and said, "Yes, sweet rice wine."

“It’s not intoxicating.”

"I hid under the straw, it was cool enough. It was hot in summer, and I took a sip, but it was refreshing and comfortable."

"Why, Taoist priest, are you not used to drinking?"

Taoist Cang Gu thought, it really is still a baby.

A young man over fourteen years old, even if his age is counted in terms of his lunar age, is a little over fifteen years old, but it is still just like this.

Like to eat sweets.

Zu Wenyuan, what is your vision?

Taoist Cang Gu raised his head and took a sip, then said calmly, "Not bad."

"The Tao is all-inclusive, and it doesn't matter if it's sweet."

So Li Guan laughed: "Can't you talk normally? Don't be so vague, as if you are floating in the air." Taoist Cang Gu did not answer, but drank the wine, shook his hand and threw the jar back to its original place, fitting tightly.

The ox cart swayed and turned to the left. When the last ray of light was swallowed by the sky, it arrived at a town. The town was not big and naturally could not be compared with the world's great cities such as Guanyi City and Jiangzhou City. It was pitch black.

Li Guan sniffed and sensed a faint smell of blood.

The Scarlet Sky Sword had calmed down, but the sharp murderous intent within it had not diminished but increased.

The golden elixir of "The Immortal Body of Eternal Blue Moon" in Li Guanyi's body was spinning faster and more unstable. There was a faint sign that it was heading towards another path of Qi flow, but Li Guanyi forcibly restrained it. He raised his eyes slightly and felt that this place seemed like a cold cave.

They went to the only inn they could stay in. There were a few horses outside the door. Li Guanyi tied up the ox cart and went in. He met some familiar faces, five big men with bruised faces and noses. They were the people from the Divine Beast Villa whom Li Guanyi met when he didn't meet Yaoguang.

But before, the tables of these people were filled with delicious fish and meat, and there was no shortage of wine.

But now there is only a plate of stir-fried vegetables on the table.

The five big men each held a yellow rice steamed bun in their hands, and then ate around the plate of vegetables.

Each person had a big bite of steamed bread and a piece of vegetables with chopsticks.

The leading man raised his head and shouted, "Shopkeeper, five more steamed buns!"

"You said it, if you order some dishes, you can eat the steamed bread for free."

Then he lowered his head, knocked the younger brother next to him with his chopsticks, and said angrily:
"You kid, did you pick up two pieces of green vegetables just now? I saw it!"

"Brother, we still have some money..."

"Pussy, pussy, when we get to Zhenbei City, the expenses are huge. Do you want to eat or not? If you don't eat, there's not even any steamed bread. When traveling around the world, the most important thing is to be stable. Eat simple food and lose the fat on your stomach. It's better than having nothing to eat."

"How about white rice?"

"It's shameful for Jianghu people to eat for free."

The big man taught his younger brother a lesson, and when he glanced over, he saw Li Guanyi coming in. His face became stiff, and he laughed dryly a few times. His younger brother opened his mouth to shout, but the big man pressed his head down with one hand: "Eat your steamed bread."

Li Guanyi ignored the disciples from the Divine Beast Villa.

They only ordered four bowls of noodles and a few other dishes. Although this is the State of Chen, it is the place where the north and south of the Central Plains meet. The food here is a combination of the north and the south, with rice and noodles. The shopkeeper brought the food quickly.

Li Guanyi took a quick glance and saw that the shopkeeper was about forty years old, but skinny and pale. He said, "Hey, shopkeeper, you are not feeling well. It seems that you are lacking blood. You need to take good care of yourself."

The shopkeeper forced a smile and said, "Thank you, young Taoist priest."

He put down all the dishes. It seemed that there were a lot of products here and a rich variety of food. However, when Li Guan looked around, he found that the waiters around him looked thin and weak, and the cook and the woman who was in charge of accounting both looked pregnant.

This is their own store. The owner's son runs errands, the daughter-in-law does the accounting, and the old wife and uncle are the chefs. However, the owner's old wife is already quite old and is pregnant. Could it be that she has no self-control?
As Li Guan was thinking, a loud voice came from outside the door: "Get out! Get out!"

"Get out of here!"

When Li Guan saw a man outside shouting and crying, he was quickly driven away.

There were footsteps. Li Guanyi turned around and saw the boss of the Divine Beast Villa carrying a plate of sliced ​​pork elbows. He placed it on the table of Li Guanyi and his friends, bowed and said, "Young man, before, we were blind and could not recognize the real man."

"We brothers admit our defeat after you gave us a beating. This plate of meat is our way of making amends to you."

He bowed repeatedly and said something polite like the underworld.

Looking at the cat next to him, he gritted his teeth, took out some silver from his pocket and put it on the table. After thinking for a while, he took out a bunch of copper coins and said, "Well, are you still selling this cat?"

"I'll go for three or two!"

Li Guanyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When he raised his hand, the big man seemed to be startled and shrank back. The young Taoist said, "No, no, I won't sell it. Here's your silver." He swept his sleeves, and the three taels of silver flew back. As for the meat, Qilin had already bitten off a piece.

After the big man went back, a skinny man next to him who looked like a monkey hesitated and said, "Brother, it seems that we made a mistake. My Diao Er has returned to his original appearance. Maybe the cat is not a strange beast. It's just a mistake."

So the big man was furious: "You!!!"

After being angry for a while, he slammed the table:
"You kid, you are not allowed to eat vegetables tomorrow, and you won't get any soup today!"

They finished eating the vegetables, and finally wiped the steamed bread on the plate, wiping it cleanly. They put the steamed bread soaked in soup in their mouths, and only then did they feel full. After Li Guanyi and others finished their meal, Taoist Cang Gu said indifferently, "I'm tired."

"Why not just rest here?"

Li Guanyi looked at the Taoist priest whose identity he did not know, nodded, and went to tell the shopkeeper that the inns in the town all had dining rooms on the first floor, and some guest rooms on the second and third floors. There were also suites that could be considered storefronts, which could accommodate two people inside and outside. The shopkeeper glanced at them and said:
"Would you like to stay in the guest room, or would you like to sleep in the dormitory like the ones we just had?"

The ancient Taoist said calmly:

"Two rooms."

"I have my own room, and you two youngsters can stay together."

The silver-haired girl paused.

Then he reached out and pulled up his hood to cover his face.

Nothing was said.

Li Guanyi thought about it and asked for two rooms, one as a guest room and the other as a suite.

Li Guanyi and Yaoguang lived in an inner and outer ring-shaped suite, which actually converted the living room into a living area, with a table and bed. Li Guanyi let Yaoguang live in the inner room, while he lived in the outer room.

Yaoguang raised her hand and put down her hood, her silver hair fell down, and she shook her head, and the piled up silver hair fell down, becoming much smoother.

Li Guanyi sat on a chair, poured a cup of tea, then took off the pine-patterned sword, placed it on his knees, and said, "Yaoguang, you stay in there, be careful, this town is not right, there may be uninvited guests today."

He thought about it, and then the "Six Voids and Four Combinations Divine Art" was activated, and the image of the black tortoise emerged.

The young man knocked on the black turtle's shell.

"Go for a walk outside."

The Black Turtle lost his patience and was hit by the Red Dragon's tail and flew away. It hit the wall like an ice hockey puck, and then its mouth kept opening and closing, as if it flew away cursing. The young man sat cross-legged on the chair with his eyes closed, and could hear the voice that the Black Turtle heard.

He has reached the second level of his realm, and the Black Turtle Dharma Image cannot be too far away from his body.

But there is no problem covering the area around this inn.

The ancient Taoist seemed to have put on his clothes and gone into the water early. He heard the woman crying and the man sighing. For some reason, Li Guanyi had a vague feeling that since he came to this village, there was always something strange and inharmonious, but he couldn't grasp it for the time being.

Suddenly, Li Guanyi heard a conversation in low voices:

'Is this it? '

"Yes, there are two groups. One group is the disciples from the Divine Beast Villa who are going to Zhenbei City. The other group is two Taoists, one big and one small, and another one... another..."

'A what?'

"...I, I forgot. Strange, I should remember clearly that person came."

'Why does it feel like there are three people, but also like there are two people.'

'Strange, what does he look like? Is there really a third person?'

"You idiot, never mind. We just need blood. These peasants don't have much blood. The Hunting Conference is coming soon. We have to take some risks. We will use the knockout drug to clear the way and then chop them up. Don't let go of the Divine Beast Villa either."

'it is good. '

"The Hunting Conference?"

"Need blood? It sounds like these warriors are using civilians to practice their skills..."

Li Guanyi held the sword, his fingers on the hilt, already murderous. The black tortoise came back, and Li Guanyi told Yaoguang what had happened, and someone had already arrived.

Li Guan put his hand to his lips, signaling the girl to keep quiet. He poked a hole in the window, then a bamboo pole was stretched out and a puff of white smoke came out.

After a while, Li Guanyi sat on the chair with his eyes closed. A warrior broke the door lock with a sword, pushed the door lightly, and came in. He said, "Young Taoist, what's the big deal?" He was about to grab Li Guanyi with the chain in his hand, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt a pain in his wrist.

The young Taoist opened his eyes. The man was about to shout when he felt a pain in his chest and fell to the ground unconscious. Li Guanyi dealt with the two here, raised his eyes slightly, and said, "There is a problem in this town. Yaoguang, set up the formation and wait here."

The silver-haired girl nodded quietly and obediently.

There was no word that I had to go with him.

Inside Li Guanyi's body, the Chixiao Sword whistled, as if urging him to hurry up. Li Guanyi jumped out and saw several people from the Shenshou Villa over there. They seemed to be too hungry to sleep, and instead started fighting with them. Li Guanyi swept his fingers, and the Shaoyang Needle, like a needle, flew out.

The two warriors' acupuncture points were immediately pierced.

Taoist Cang Gu was sleeping soundly, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Li Guanyi then left. He activated the Qi-gazing technique and followed the traces of the two men and the faint smell of blood. Guided by the Chixiao Sword, he moved forward. His body movements were not the "Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Steps" taught by Grandpa Chen Chengbi, but the leg movements recorded on the bronze tablet in the cabinet of the Chen Kingdom's library.

It is a first-rate superior martial art below the Dharma-Appearance-level magical skill.

Li Guanyi's movements were as fast as the wind, and the sound of the sword in his body became more and more intense. He arrived in front of the most magnificent courtyard in the whole town. Li Guanyi did not understand Yaoguang's magic, so he turned his internal energy and flew into the air. He gently pressed his hand on the high wall, then his body flew another three feet into the air and gently landed.

When they landed, the image of a black tortoise appeared and gently lifted Li Guanyi up.

The boy's body was obviously suspended in the air, and then landed softly without any sound.

"The Twelve-Storied Tower in Jiangnan Misty Rain" begins, and Li Guanyi becomes one with nature.

Li Guanyi turned his sword over, activated the Qi-Seeing Technique, and paced in the large courtyard. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he did not choose the stealth method of knocking down everyone. He only relied on his footwork or hiding in the shadows. Without any guards, he reached the innermost place.

The strong smell of blood and the whistling of the Scarlet Sky Sword almost turned into murderous intent.

Li Guanyi held his breath and listened to the conversation inside: "Huh, is he still not well?"

"These peasants here are really useless..."

"But you, you have been refining the elixir for such a long time, but you haven't made anything?"

"Ha! Who do you think I am? That loser Zhongsun Tianjue?"

"That old fellow was driven mad for many years because his apprentice stole his kung fu and alchemy furnace. I heard that his apprentice went to the Chen Kingdom court and became a royal sorcerer. In the end, he died at the hands of his own apprentice, a man called Hou Zhongyu."

"I am not him. I need to rely on natural resources and treasures to refine elixirs and achieve immortality, but I cannot use external forces."

"You shouldn't use Qilin blood or blood from other animals!"

"They are all wrong. Although they call themselves sorcerers and walk on the left side of the Tao, neither good nor evil, they are still unwilling to take that step. Why don't they think about it? The most spiritual creatures are humans!"

Li Guanyi paused for a moment while holding the sword. Another person sneered, "So you controlled this town, asking the people to bleed for you, and asked my disciples to kill the warriors passing by for you. However, you didn't refine anything."

An old man laughed: "Hahaha, you are wrong, I have refined it. I have inherited a legacy from the Green Robe Immortal Guest and have already refined blood for merit. However, this [Hunting Unicorn Conference] has the most beautiful woman in the world. The beauty is fake, but those masters are real. I want to refine this blood pill."

"Give it to me, the great elder of the Yin Yang Rotating Sect. You will enjoy endless wealth and splendor, endless delicacies and fine wines, and all kinds of magical skills and precious weapons!"

"Oh? What is it?"

The sorcerer said, "Humph, three hu and six dou of gallbladder marrow from a boy or girl can be used as a substitute!"

The person from the Yin Yang Rotation Sect said calmly, "Oh? That's not a difficult thing. That's why you forced them all to get pregnant and give birth to children. Just to use the human resources here to give birth to children for you, and then refine the elixir?"

The old man said complacently, "Yes, this is the border between two countries, the most chaotic place in the world. I have benefits for those officials, and their people are not dead, only a few children are born."

"What are humans? Are they just domestic animals?"

"In this world, ordinary peasants are just like weeds in the field. As long as they look similar, it doesn't matter if there is one less of them. It doesn't even matter if they are the original ones."

"It's a bit difficult to get three hu and six dou of gallbladder marrow from a boy or girl. But if I don't want immediate effects, wouldn't it be better to test it little by little? If we give birth once a year, a town can give birth to many children. If we try the medicine and it can extend life by a year or two, that's a good thing!"

"As for those children..."

The old sorcerer paused.

After a long time, he said calmly: "It's just a small fate."

Suddenly there was a sound of a sword.

The expressions of both people in the room suddenly changed, and they gathered their internal energy at the same time. They both had strong internal energy, and they would be considered good fighters outside, but at this moment a sword flew directly into them, and the door collapsed.

The ancient pine-patterned sword directly pierced the middle-aged man's head.

The Taoist sword began to show red lines and whistled continuously. The sword intent rose like the sky. The red sky in Li Guan's body was transformed into the sword, and it instantly pierced through the warrior's defense in just a moment.

But not dead yet.

Li Guan appeared in an instant and punched out with a clenched fist.

On the tip of the fist, the layers of energy from the "Six Voids and Four Combinations Magical Art" exploded and knocked the man up in an instant. His brain went blank, and Li Guanyi turned around, and the Autumn Water Sword had already cut the man's throat.

Blood spurts out.

At the same time, Li Guanyi leaned forward and rushed forward swiftly, knocking the old sorcerer flying in the air with just one blow.

The old sorcerer seemed to be trying to use some magic.

But Li Guanyi and Hou Zhongyu had fought against each other and knew these people's methods.

Almost instantly, the old sorcerer's fingers were cut off. Li Guanyi kicked the old man away, grabbed a bamboo stick nearby, and threw it hard, nailing him to the wall. Blood spurted out of his mouth and his breath was weak. Li Guanyi had escaped from the great sacrifice and had once survived a city blockade.

The frequency and intensity of his fighting were totally beyond the reach of this old sorcerer.

In a short confrontation, both sides used their full strength, and one died and the other was seriously injured.

The young man raised his hand and grabbed the pine-patterned sword that was glowing red.

On the sword body, the light of the Chixiao Sword changed.

The divine soldiers of the Red Emperor, even though the Red Emperor is dead, still yearn to protect his people.

Li Guanyi stretched out his hand and grabbed the old sorcerer. The young man spoke through his teeth, "Where is the child..."

The old sorcerer still had a breath left: "You said, don't kill me."

Li Guanyi directly cut off the warlock's right arm.

"where is it?"

The old sorcerer wailed and cried, "You said no, don't kill me..."

Li Guanyi cut off his left arm, and the needle-like Shaoyang Sword whistled continuously. The shadow of the Chixiao sword directly attached itself to the Shaoyang Sword from the Pine Pattern Ancient Sword. The fierce murderous aura pressed against the sorcerer's brow and slowly approached. Finally, the latter was terrified and shouted, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Li Guanyi carried the sorcerer and opened the secret door as he said. A foul smell hit him in the face, making his body stiff. Bones were everywhere and the ground was like a pool of blood. There were children in each cage, all lying on top of each other.

There was a child outside, about three years old, and could speak.

Just sitting in a pool of blood.

A broken arm.

The child didn't know what kind of medicine he had taken. His broken arm was covered with granulations, as if something was about to grow out of it, but it was not treated. There were maggots in it, and the maggots fell into the pool of blood. The child was ignorant and was sitting in the pool of blood, catching the maggots and playing with them.

Then he noticed Li Guanyi and the sorcerer, and stretched out his remaining arm with an innocent smile:

"hug!"

The warlock suddenly felt a sense of terror.

He saw the young Taoist's pupils surging with waves, and the next moment, the sorcerer felt his body falling to the ground, and the Shaoyang Sword directly pierced through hundreds of acupuncture points on his body. The pain was as severe as slow slicing, and he almost died, but he was fixed in place. Finally, the sword pierced through his head!
The white-haired head exploded into a ball.

Li Guanyi squatted down, looked at the child, and asked, "Who are you?"

The child asked, "Who am I?"

The death of the sorcerer seemed to have triggered some mechanism. There were shouts and screams outside. Warriors with swords and knives rushed over. The young Taoist looked at the children. His expression softened. He took off his Taoist robe, picked up the child and put him on it.

He whispered, "Close your eyes, I'll give you some snacks."

The child closed his eyes in confusion.

Those warriors have stood up, each holding a sword, and rushed towards Li Guanyi's vital points.

This is also the Jianghu...

The young man stretched out his hand to cover the child's eyes, turned his back to the warriors, and stretched out his right hand. In the void, black murderous energy suddenly rose up, like the roar of a tiger. A dark golden halberd appeared in his hand, roaring fiercely.

All the weapons were broken when they were chopped on it.

The young man stood up, whirled around, and swung his spear like a roaring tiger.

Fuck your disorderly underworld!
Five heads flew into the sky at the same time.

Taoist Cang Gu stood on the inn at some point, watching the scene with his sleeves fluttering.

The blood mixed into the blood pool, and the young man walked out holding a halberd, his hair slightly fluttering, like an angry tiger. The chivalrous temperament was gone, and that was the style of a fierce military strategist and a fierce general.

There were dozens of warriors in front, but the young man was holding a halberd and striding towards them.

So unlucky.

Taoist Cang Gu lowered his eyes and looked at the world. He remained silent for a long time.

"Zu Wenyuan, your vision is better than mine."
