Chapter 24: Killing with an Axe
"You want to be in charge of the escort?"

Zhou Qian looked at Bai Yuan in surprise.

Although it has been a while since Xu Wen's death, people in the martial arts hall are still in a state of panic, and most disciples are unwilling to do work outside.

He was worried that he couldn't find anyone to escort the daily food, and Bai Yuan came to him on his own.

"Exactly."

Bai Yuan nodded.

After some deep thought, he decided to go back to his old ways.

According to the information obtained from Zhuang Zhao, the wages of the outer courtyard disciples who escort the food have increased to five taels per month.

He is really short of money.
"it is good."

Zhou Qian was quite straightforward. He threw a black tiger-patterned token to Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan took the token and took a closer look. It was the one that Liu Chu had given to the old groom before.

"You are familiar with this job, so I don't need to say more. Just take over tomorrow."

Zhou Qian gave a few instructions.

The people who are delivering the ingredients now are still Ma Qi and the other two. They are all old acquaintances, so Bai Yuan doesn't need to get to know them well.

He did not stay in the martial arts gym for too long. After leaving Qinghe County, he went straight into the mountains and forests and devoted himself to killing monsters.

Qinghe County, Soul-Chasing Tower.

The Soul-Chasing Tower is indeed a building, but it is not on the ground, but underground.

The infamous Soul-Chasing Tower is hidden beneath the Qinghe River.

In the huge cave stands a nine-story wooden building, with red lanterns hanging from the eaves, adding a bit of weirdness.

The Qinghe County Government and other forces including the Iron Knife Gang all knew of the existence of the Soul-Chasing Tower.

No one would mind killing the soul-catching ghost in the Soul-Chasing Building, but if you dare to wipe out the branch building, you are seeking death.

Even the county government doesn't have such courage.

The Soul-Chasing Tower has become the number one killer organization in Xuanyang, and no one knows how powerful it is.

Legend has it that the founding emperor was assassinated by the killer from the Soul-Chasing Tower.

A hunchbacked old man led a young man with a sword slowly into the Soul-Chasing Tower.

"I want to kill someone."

The hunchbacked old man spoke in a hoarse voice.

A man wearing a mask with a grimace answered in an androgynous voice.

"Time, place, people."

"Tomorrow night, the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Hall will be full."

"A thousand pieces of gold."

"it is good."

The hunchbacked old man took out a silver note with the Tianyuan Bank printed on it from his pocket with trembling hands. It was exactly one thousand gold.

The ghost-faced man took the banknote without saying a word.

The hunchbacked old man was not worried that the Soul-Chasing Tower would go back on its word, so he turned and left with the young man with the sword.

Once the Soul-Chasing Tower accepts a job, it will never go back on its word.

The two men walked to the exit of the cave, and the hunchbacked old man glanced at the young man beside him.

"Liu Chu, you should know what to do."

Baisha Town, the ancestral home of the Bai family.

Xiao Qiaoniang looked at Bai Yuan with concern.

"Uncle, please eat slowly."

"call"

Bai Yuan put down heavily a bowl as big as his face. The bowls on the wooden table were already piled higher than his head.

Although the Tiger-Crane Pose can replenish his energy and blood loss, the energy consumed can only be replenished through eating.

The blood-sucking ability of the Blood Tiger Blade is really fierce, but the effect is also very obvious.

Bai Yuan wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand.

The game he hunted every day was barely enough to eat.

The amount a pig eats in one day is indeed horrible.

Compared with him, those food streamers in his previous life could only look up to him.

Bai Yuan worked day and night and returned home at 11:00 p.m. Most of the villagers in Baisha Town had gone to bed, and only the lights in Bai's house were still on.

Ever since he practiced the Tiger Crane pose, he has become incredibly energetic.

You can be full of energy by sleeping only two hours a day.

"Sister-in-law, you go to sleep first. I'll practice swordplay for a while."

Xiao Qiaoniang was already used to Bai Yuan's behavior. "Uncle, don't get too tired."

"I know."

Bai Yuan smiled slightly and started sharpening the axe left by his father on the whetstone.

If you don't have a long knife, you'll have to use an axe instead.

A touch of fish belly white just appeared on the horizon.

Bai Yuan was already sitting in front of the bed, fully dressed.

I looked at the sky and it was almost time to set off.

He picked up the axe that he had sharpened to an extremely sharp edge last night and wrapped it in layers of linen so that the shape of the knife could not be seen.

Braving the slightly chilly night wind, Bai Yuan walked out of the house.

Just as it was Chenshi, he arrived at the market south of Qinghe City.

Just like when Liu Chu was here before, Ma Qi and the other two were already waiting at the market entrance.

"Brother Yuan!"

Ma Qi, who was the most lively, waved and called Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan took two quick steps and came up to the three people. They were all acquaintances, so naturally there was nothing to say.

Just as a few people were chatting, a carriage slowly drove out of the market.

After seeing the groom's face clearly, Bai Yuan frowned slightly.

"Where's Lao Xu?"

"Old man Xu has caught a cold. I'll be taking his place today."

A strong male voice sounded.

Bai Yuan nodded, took out a black token from his arms and threw it to the middle-aged groom.

The middle-aged groom took the token and checked it carefully before speaking again: "No problem."

After both parties confirmed their identities, the carriage moved slowly.

Bai Yuan did not sit alone in the carriage and take a nap like Liu Chu did before.

It’s not that he didn’t enjoy it, but he felt that such a posture was not conducive to drawing the sword.

The carriage went very slowly.

It took a full half hour before I saw the Huwei Martial Arts Hall.

When he saw clearly the person standing at the door of the martial arts hall, Bai Yuan clenched the axe in his hand.

"Brother Bai, leave the carriage to me."

Standing at the entrance of the martial arts hall was Liu Chu, who had been promoted to an inner court disciple.

"Brother Liu, I won't bother you with such a small matter."

Bai Yuan refused immediately.

Although Liu Chu was an inner court disciple, it was Zhou Qian, not him, who was in charge of the kitchen.

If Liu Chu harbors evil intentions, Bai Yuan will be the only one who suffers in the end.

"Junior Brother Bai, don't you trust me?"

Liu Chu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the threat in his words was evident.

Ma Qi and the other two's faces changed when they heard this. Liu Chu was an inner court disciple, and the consequences of offending an inner court disciple would definitely not be pleasant.

Just as the three were about to persuade him——

A bright white light flashed before their eyes!

Liu Chu actually drew his sword towards Bai Yuan!

All the inner court disciples are masters of the Bone Tempering Realm, so Liu Chu's sword is very fast.

But what he didn't expect was that Bai Yuan's knife was even faster!

A chopping knife to be exact.

a knife
The blade cut Liu Chu's body into two halves as if it was cutting through the water.

Very soon and very strong!

A thin line of blood appeared in the center of Liu Chu's body, exactly.

Liu Chu looked at Bai Yuan with disbelief.

How could a skin-refining martial artist who had just become an outer courtyard disciple not long ago be able to do this? !
thump.
The body that was split by the blade slid to the sides and was completely dead.

It all happened so fast that the middle-aged coachman sitting in the carriage had not yet reacted before Bai Yuan's strange, bloody axe appeared before his eyes.

Groom, die!

Just at the moment when Bai Yuan pulled the long knife in his hand out from the groom.

A shrill howl echoed throughout the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Hall!
