King

Instead of paying attention to the ongoing carnival activities in the square, Lin Yan began to lie down in the sun to rest after returning to the courtyard.

The city-wide competition is over, he has achieved his goal and obtained the qualification to enter the Emperor City, so right now, he really has no mood to pay attention to those vain things.

As for when to go to the Snow Illusion Plateau in Tiandi City, Lin Yan didn't really care. Anyway, he wanted to take this opportunity to return to Tiandi City. Even though this training might involve many other dark things, he couldn't care less.

Two days later, Lin Yan, who had recuperated in the War Sword Space for ten days, went out for a trip.

At dusk, Lin Yan saw Tie Niu coming back from the pier at the door of Tie Niu's house.

Yes, Lin Yan came here not only to see the pregnant Tieniu wife, but also to drink with Tieniu. Tieniu once said that after the competition, he would drink with him.

Naturally, the two of them would not go to a big hotel that was easy to be recognized by others. They chose a small local restaurant, ordered a few small dishes, warmed a pot of wine, and started talking and drinking.

"Brother Lin, I respect you with this cup, congratulations!" Tieniu raised his glass happily and said to Lin Yan.

Tieniu was really happy. Seeing Lin Yan shine in the city-wide competition and gain a great reputation in Xiaoshui City, he felt happier than he had obtained these achievements.

The wine glasses touched lightly, and the two drank the wine in the glasses.

"Tie Niu, how is your practice recently?"

There were very few people in the tavern, so Lin Yan didn't have to deliberately guard against eavesdropping when speaking, so he directly asked about Tieniu's cultivation.

Tieniu smiled honestly, patted his head and said, "I'm stupid, it's been a few days, and now I've only reached the fourth level of the innate realm."

Seeing that Tieniu really showed an embarrassed expression, as if he thought his cultivation speed was too slow, Lin Yan couldn't help laughing, and said: "Hehe, you can still say that you are slow with such a cultivation speed. How do other warriors live?"

Tie Niu's eyes lit up, and he said with an expression of disbelief: "Isn't it slow? But I think it's very slow, especially compared to Brother Lin, I feel like my cultivation speed is like a tortoise crawling."

"It's really not slow." Lin Yan said seriously, "Your speed is actually very good. You must know that you haven't taken any pills, and you don't have any expert advice. You only take one step based on your own trials and explorations. I'm making progress. Hehe, don't compare yourself with me, I'm not praising myself, in fact, I started practicing martial arts when I was seven years old, you must not know this, right?"

Hearing Lin Yan's explanation, Tieniu felt that his cultivation speed was actually quite good, so he said with a smile, "Even if Brother Lin started martial arts at the age of seven, wouldn't he be on a tie with Dugu Sword Demon?"

"How did you learn how to flatter?" Lin Yan scolded with a smile.

"No, I really admire Brother Lin from the bottom of my heart." Tieniu said sincerely.

"Tie Niu, if you practice hard, you will also be famous in Xiaoshui City in the future."

Tieniu nodded, and then asked: "By the way, Brother Lin, why do I feel that the mixed iron stick and the mixed iron stick method you gave me are more unpredictable than gold swallowing?"

Lin Yan smiled, and naturally thought of the Bull Demon King.

The strength of the Bull Demon King, as well as his attainments in martial arts, are naturally far superior to Master Xuanjin's. The mixed iron rod method he has painstakingly researched, combined with the use of mixed iron rods, has the power to pierce the world, very powerful , it can be said that it must be one of the top martial arts in the entire martial arts world.

Undoubtedly, if such a martial skill fell into the hands of a knowledgeable person, it would probably excite him to death, but Lin Yan had no intention of telling Tieniu the details.

It would be a better thing for Tieniu to cultivate with such a precious martial skill with a normal heart.

So now, when Tieniu mentioned this question again, Lin Yan just smiled and said, "What is unpredictable or not, don't worry about it, you just need to know that the method of swallowing gold and mixing with iron sticks are both suitable." You are enough."

"Understood." Sure enough, Tieniu didn't ask any more questions, picked up the wine glass and continued to drink with Lin Yan.

The two drank one cup after another and talked happily.

After a meal of wine, it can be said that you come back with a lot of fun.

The two of them were really full and in a good mood. After sending Tieniu home, Lin Yan continued to walk towards the courtyard in the countryside.

Time, unknowingly, it has reached eight o'clock in the evening, and the sky is completely dark.

Crossing the streets near the wharf and the bustling Xiaoshuicheng Avenue, a slightly drunk Lin Yan walked onto a dirt road beside Xiaoshuicheng. He followed closely behind at a distance.

Perhaps it was because he really drank too much wine, Lin Yan, who has always been cautious, did not get rid of the stalking of people with malicious intentions this time.

Gradually, Lin Yan walked farther and farther on the dirt road with low mountains on one side and [-] mu of fertile land on the other. The wind blowing from the mountains blew on Lin Yan's face. It lit up, and shot out two murderous lights.

However, in the next moment, Lin Yan's eyes seemed to be covered with bewilderment after the swell of alcohol, and he almost walked slowly.

The person who had been following Lin Yan closely behind him didn't see anything wrong, and still hid his figure in the shadow cast by the trees, following step by step.

However, when he reached a corner, taking advantage of the opportunity when the moonlight was covered by dark clouds, Lin Yan's figure flashed away.

About 20 meters behind Lin Yan, the man who had been hiding in the shadow of the trees hurriedly chased after him. When he reached the corner, he found that he could no longer find his target.

"what?"

The man let out a doubtful sound.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong behind him, and a sense of danger reached his mind along the back, making him tremble all over, and cold sweat broke out on his spine.

But before he could move, he heard an extremely cold voice behind him: "Don't move, if you move again, I'll kill you directly."

As the breeze blew past, not only did the murderous aura of the person behind him pass over, but even a faint smell of alcohol was mixed into the wind, which really made him feel it.

He felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he was still discovered by Lin Yan after all, he couldn't help but run his mind rapidly, looking for a way to escape.

"Turn around."

Standing in the dark shadows, Lin Yan said coldly to the man who was following him, the sword in his hand was tightly attached to the man's neck, and he never trembled from the beginning to the end.

The sharp and cold blade had already made the skin on the man's neck stand on end.

"Turn around quickly, don't test my patience."

Lin Yan drank coldly again, and began to exert more force on his hand, causing the blade to slightly embed into the man's skin.

In the beginning, Lin Yan was really slack because he drank too much wine, so he didn't know that he was being followed on the street, but when he got on this dirt road, he was followed by the mountain wind one after another. Blowing continuously, his alcoholism subsided a lot, and of course he found someone following him.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he captured the man without any effort.

Now, he just wanted to see who this person was.

"Turn, I'll turn right away."

Feeling the coldness and sharpness of the blade, the man seemed to be really scared. He said in a hurry, and he was about to turn around as he said.

"Put your hands up."

Lin Yan suddenly said this.

Being able to have the courage to follow him alone shows that this person's strength is not ordinary, and usually a person like this is not so cowardly, obedient or even afraid after being coldly shouted at by him, which in itself is not in line with common sense. Therefore, his first reaction was that this person was still planning to play tricks.

With Lin Yan on his back, the man began to slowly move his arms upwards, and his body also turned backwards.

From the looks of it, it seemed that Lin Yan was really cooperative.

However, Lin Yan didn't give the man any chance to explain, and he didn't plan to wait until the man turned around completely, and at the same time his body moved sideways, the war sword took advantage of the situation and cut the man's neck fiercely.

With a sound of "噗嗤", a stream of blood spurted out like a fountain.

The man's body turned half way before he fell crookedly to the ground.

Only then did Lin Yan step forward and see clearly the true face of this person.

A very ordinary and strange face, Lin Yan didn't know this person.

In this man's hand, he was still holding a handful of iron sand, and it seemed that he was about to sneak attack him.

Lin Yan gave the corpse a cold look, and then walked forward without doing anything else.

Originally, Lin Yan wanted to look through this person's arms to see if there was something that could represent his identity, but on second thought, he decided to forget it, because he realized that he had indeed done one thing wrong right now, that is, he was too confident that others would not You will easily find yourself, and make yourself think that you can go outside with your true face.

But drinking with Tieniu tonight proved that this kind of self-confidence is actually unreliable.

In Xiaoshui City, there are still people with ulterior motives who are preparing to pry into the secrets of him, and this kind of prying is based on the premise of killing him!

What happened tonight is a lesson!

But fortunately, he was only followed by one person, which is considered a blessing in misfortune.

So right now, he just wants to rush back to the courtyard as soon as possible, lest there are other people or this person's companions rushing over.

However, Lin Yan was quickly disappointed.

Several gusts of wind rang out, and a row of figures rushed up immediately, one of them flew directly in front of him, and the rest of them blocked the way behind.

The pupils in Lin Yan's eyes suddenly tightened, and he looked at the middle-aged man in front.

Lin Yan felt a very dangerous aura.

After all, this person flew past him directly in the air!

A martial artist who can fly in the sky must have at least reached the air defense realm!

Lin Yan immediately made preparations for the battle, although he still knew clearly in his heart that with his strength in the Ninth Layer of Mortal Transformation Realm, facing the fighters in the Sky Control Realm, just the huge insurmountable gap between the two great realms would be enough for him to fight. It was enough to make him fall in hard, and fall to pieces in this deep chasm, but he had to fight, otherwise, even the slightest chance of escape would be lost!
