Eternal Sword

Chapter 374 Conflict
The thin man said, "It is rumored in the capital that the current emperor is stupid, stumbling over his words, and can't even tell the difference between hot and cold. The military and political power in the court has fallen into the hands of others. Xia Daozi has great power in the court and he is a member of the royal family. It is not impossible for him to forge the imperial edict."

Luo Shixian said: "Xia Daozi and Shen Guobao are in cahoots with each other. Over the years, they have fooled the emperor, framed loyal officials, and harmed the people, allowing the Xuantian bandits to grow stronger day by day. They are truly the most treacherous ministers of our Great Xia, and everyone should kill them!"

"In my opinion, if we can't get rid of these two thieves, it may lead to even greater disasters."

"If I get the chance, I will kill him with one blow!"

In the teahouse, when Xia Daozi and Shen Guobao were mentioned, everyone looked angry.

"laugh!"

Another sneer came from the table where four people were sitting beside the official road.

This laughter sounded quite harsh even in the noisy teahouse.

Everyone frowned and looked in the direction of the voice.

Just now someone here questioned, and now there were sneers. The thin man couldn't stand it, so he stood up and said, "I'm Wei Kai, the Wild Sand Swordsman. What are your names, friends?"

In the martial arts world, if you don't know the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, you won't just start fighting with swords.

"Boss, after walking around in this world, I have really broadened my horizons. Any third-rate person who jumps out can get a nickname, and the reputation is scary."

"That's not true. The flaming sword and the crazy sand sword sound impressive, but they are just some fancy moves."

"They are going to the capital to assassinate the Prime Minister. The capital is full of powerful people, and the Prime Minister is surrounded by many masters of the imperial palace. People like them can't even get close to the Prime Minister!"

"Brother Liu, you overestimate them. These people are just talking nonsense outside, satisfying their desire to talk. If they are really allowed to enter the capital to assassinate the prime minister, they will be scared to death!"

The four people at that table ignored the question from 'Crazy Sand Swordsman' Wei Kai and spoke to a man with a hooked nose and thin cheeks at the table in a sarcastic tone.

Although the names of Luo Shixian and Wei Kai were not mentioned in full, it was almost the same as naming them by name.

Wei Kai's face darkened.

Being mocked like this in public, I felt a little embarrassed.

Luo Shixian stood up and said in a deep voice: "Let's not beat around the bush. What advice do you have?"

The thin man who was the leader of the four still ignored Luo Shixian, without even raising his eyelids, and just smiled faintly, saying: "The name is enough to scare people, whether you have real ability or not is not a big deal."

"Why, do you want to try it?"

Wei Kai held the sword in his hand horizontally, his face looking unfriendly.

The thin man said to himself, "For example, this 'Crazy Sand Swordsman', how do you think he got this name?"

"Appreciate further details."

The other three echoed.

The thin man said, "This man's swordsmanship is mediocre and his methods are ordinary. The only thing he is good at is hiding a few sandbags on his body. When fighting with others, he will hit them with a sandbag unexpectedly."

The man next to him sneered, "So this is the kind of despicable trick you use. I thought I was so powerful."

Wei Kai's face turned blue and purple, and he was overwhelmed with shame and anger for a moment.

In fact, this person is right.

There is a hint of joking in his nickname in the underworld.

However, people who don't know his background or the reason behind it think that he is good at some kind of Crazy Sand Sword Technique.

The thin man changed the subject and said, "As for that flaming mad knife, hehe..."

"What does this person's name mean?"

Another person at the table asked.

The thin man laughed and said, "Those who don't know him might think his sword skills are like flames, but in fact, he just sprinkles some flammable powder on the blade before fighting someone, which makes it look intimidating."

"Oh--"

The other three people deliberately stretched out their voices, their faces full of mockery. Luo Shixian looked unhappy after being exposed in public, and the scar on his face became more ferocious due to bloodshot.

The man in green in the corner frowned slightly.

Anyone who travels around the world usually has a nickname.

Some of them were named by themselves, and some were given by people in the world.

In order to elevate their status, many people have nicknames that sound impressive, but in fact they are just empty names.

Generally speaking, people in the underworld keep things to themselves and won't point it out in public.

After all, it’s nothing, and everyone should save some face.

When traveling in the world, one must pay attention to the ways of the world.

It was the four people at the table who not only took the initiative to provoke, but also spoke sarcastically and dug up all the secrets of Luo Shixian and Wei Kai, leaving no room for them. It was a bit too much.

"You are right!"

Luo Shixian said loudly: "My name, Luo, is indeed exaggerated, but it is better than some people who are nameless and sneaky!"

"You look down on my sword, Wei Kai, but I want to test your skills!"

Although Wei Kai said this, he did not actually draw his sword. He just leaped towards one of them and raised his hand to punch the thin man on the shoulder.

After all, there was no deep hatred, it was just a verbal dispute, and Wei Kai had no intention of using weapons.

Once weapons are shown, things will change and the conflict between the two sides will escalate to another level.

"Well done!"

The thin man sat on the bench, motionless. Facing Wei Kai's punch, he moved sideways and easily avoided it.

He casually reached out and grasped Wei Kai's wrist, and without waiting for the other party to react, he used a small grappling move and threw Wei Kai out of the teahouse, where he fell on the official road and was covered in dust.

"What a trick!"

Seeing this, Luo Shixian took a step forward and grabbed the thin man by the vest.

With just one move, Luo Shixian's methods were obviously stronger than Wei Kai's just now.

The thin man turned around and exchanged several moves with Luo Shixian, but he didn't gain any advantage. He suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Get lost!"

boom!
The two of them fought hard!
Luo Shixian's whole body was shaken, his arm was in unbearable pain, and he flew backwards and fell to the ground, a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, his face was pale, and he said in a lost voice: "Internal Qi Realm!"

In the last strike just now, it was obvious that there was a strong internal force contained in the opponent's palm!

"Hahaha!"

"It's just fancy moves."

"With such little means, you are so shameless that you want to deal with the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State!"

The three people at the table laughed.

When the many wanderers in the teahouse heard the term "internal energy realm", they were all startled.

In the Nanxia martial arts world, a martial artist at the fourth level of the acquired realm can only be considered a third-rate fighter.

If one could cultivate internal energy and even open the acupoints, then he would be considered a second-rate expert.

If one can go one step further and open up the meridians in the body, then he will be a first-class master.

In the martial arts world, most warriors are only third-rate.

When encountering a warrior at this level of internal energy, he is already considered a master in everyone's mind.

Luo Shixian barely stood up. He had just heard something, so he covered his chest and said in a deep voice, "You are not from the underworld!"
