The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

Several more groups of swordsmen arrived afterward and sat at the table next to him. In Jiang Chuan's observation, these later arrivals were identical to the earlier group, who were extremely meticulous in their every gesture. 353

In the blink of an eye, apart from Jiang Chuan and the man in white, the rest of the huge tavern was occupied by these seemingly different but actually the same group of martial arts practitioners.

Then, a young man wearing a cloak and with his hair tied in a bun on top of his head, looking dashing and unrestrained, stepped into the tavern.

The young man carried a long sword on his back, a faint smile playing on his lips, appearing extremely unrestrained and carefree.

"Young man, bring me a pot of Xinling wine."

Upon entering the tavern, the young man immediately called to his servant and ordered a pot of the most famous wine in the area.

Soon, his Xinling drink was delivered.

The young man approached a table not far from the young man in white and began to enjoy the wine alone. In the blink of an eye, he finished half a pot of wine, his face slightly flushed and a little tipsy.

Perhaps because he was drunk, he stopped keeping his thoughts to himself and spoke them out directly. His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the nearby tables, his words carrying a provocative tone, "How long are you guys going to keep hiding?"

"Aren't you going to take action yet?"

As the saying goes, one stone stirs up a thousand waves.

These words immediately created a heavy and oppressive atmosphere in the entire tavern.

Chapter 156 Instant Kill with a Raise of the Hand

A somber atmosphere enveloped the entire tavern.

The Yan and Zhao regions are home to many generous and tragic heroes, as well as numerous chivalrous figures.

Conversely, while heroes emerged in great numbers, there were also far more wicked bandits than in the Central Plains. After all, this region was close to the lands of foreign tribes, and its atmosphere was inherently more warlike than that of the Central Plains.

It is a tavern located on the border of Yan and Zhao.

The tavern's staff and owner were used to seeing fights, and upon sensing that something was amiss, they immediately retreated quietly to the back of the tavern towards the kitchen.

Many guests who didn't want to get involved in the trouble also left the tavern one after another.

For a time, apart from the group of people who came here one after another and, according to Jiang Chuan's observation, belonged to the same organization, there were only three outsiders in the tavern.

They are Jiang Chuan and a young man in white, revealing the true nature of these people as pretentious and superficial.

After a brief moment of silence, the guests at several tables simultaneously drew their swords, unleashing an immensely powerful killing intent.

A murderous aura enveloped the entire tavern.

The young man in white immediately frowned.

Because he could feel an intense killing intent enveloping him.

Of course, the killing intent he was referring to was not simply directed at him alone.

The boastful young man, who had previously been intoxicated and revealed the true nature of these people, was also targeted with murderous intent.

However, he was completely unaware of it. He acted as if he were really drunk, and even performed a set of drunken boxing moves in front of the young man in white.

After finishing the fight, he looked at the young man in white and said, "Don't be nervous. Although I don't know why so many people want to harm you, since I've run into you, I will protect you."

The young man in white began to seriously examine the drunk man for the first time. He had initially thought the man was just a drunken madman, but now it seemed that he was not so simple.

He said to the man in a serious tone, "Do you know? The set of punches you just performed had forty-one flaws."

The drunk man's expression immediately froze. He scratched the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed, "Are there that many?"

"I think I played pretty well."

The young man in white remained silent.

Just as the two were talking, the assassins around them, who were releasing powerful killing intent, finally stopped waiting.

One of the men, who appeared to be the leader, spoke up: "Kill them."

Why they appeared here and killed the young man in white is unknown to anyone except those directly involved.

However, the drunk man directly pointed out their origins, which inevitably angered them, so they didn't mind killing the drunk man as well.

In the next instant, numerous swords simultaneously attacked the two youths.

A terrifying killing intent swept through.

The young man in white frowned slightly. He subconsciously reached for the zither case behind him and took out the sword hidden inside. However, to his surprise, the drunken man, who couldn't even throw a proper punch, reacted unexpectedly quickly when faced with the assassins' attack.

The longsword he carried on his back was drawn immediately.

With a flash of sword light, he blocked all the attacks from the numerous assassins.

Many assassins were surprised to see this, and their killing intent intensified.

Regardless of who this drunk man is, they must kill him.

Earlier, several groups of people had disguised themselves as customers and entered the tavern. Now, they all made their move, totaling more than twenty people.

The tavern wasn't very big.

It is extremely terrifying for more than twenty people to attack at the same time.

Outside, the north wind howled, swirling the snow on the ground, and the chill was palpable.

Inside, although there was a stove, the air was still chillingly cold due to the mix of murderous intent.

However, even when surrounded and attacked by more than twenty people.

The two young men in the middle of the encirclement showed no fear whatsoever.

Especially the previously drunk man, who wielded his longsword with fierce swordplay, blocking all the killing moves aimed at him and the white-robed youth.

The young man in white took advantage of the time the other party had given him to remove the zither case from his back.

He pulled out a long sword from the side of the zither case.

A sword is hidden within a zither.

As for swordsmanship, his skills were not as refined as the drunken man's, but they were still quite impressive. In the end, he was just a musician. If the world hadn't been so chaotic and musicians often faced various dangers, he wouldn't have tried to learn martial arts to protect himself.

Even though his swordsmanship was inferior to that of the drunken man, he still had more than enough strength to deal with these assassins.

In the blink of an eye, the situation in the tavern reached a stalemate.

Even though it was two people fighting against more than twenty, they managed to put up a good fight.

You might say these two are weak, but they fought against more than twenty people and held their own.

Even if they are strong, they don't have an absolute advantage, and it won't be easy for them to take down these twenty-odd people.

Jiang Chuan, who had been sitting in the corner of the tavern, couldn't stand it anymore.

It must be said that these assassins from the Luo Wang organization were quite disciplined. Although they attacked the young man in white, they did not attack Jiang Chuan, the customer sitting in the corner of the tavern.

As for their attack on the drunk man, it was purely because the other party was meddling and talking too much.

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Chuan would naturally not make a move.

But they couldn't resist the fact that these assassins came from the Luowang organization.

Even though they were well hidden, Jiang Chuan still recognized them immediately.

Jiang Chuan had no good feelings towards the Luo Wang organization.

He downed the wine in the cup in front of him in one gulp, and in the next instant, he flung the wine bowl (of the good king) from his hand.

The moment the wine bowl flew out, cracks immediately spread from it, and then, in an instant, it shattered into many fragments.

The fragments were extremely small, yet contained a sharp and intense power.

More than twenty assassins from the Luo Wang organization were besieging the young man in white and the drunk man when suddenly, fragments pierced their bodies.

Blood splattered, creating numerous crimson blood flowers in the tavern.

More than twenty assassins from the Luo Wang organization, regardless of their strength, all froze instantly and died on the spot.

The young man in white, who was wielding a sword and fighting against numerous assassins, and the drunken man were both stunned by what they saw.

This scene is simply too dreamlike.

They expected a tough battle, but reality surprised them.

Then, they all looked at Jiang Chuan, who was sitting in the corner.

Chapter 257 A Chance Encounter, A Chance Meeting

"Hey, may I ask how I should address this gentleman?"

After a moment of hesitation, it was finally the drunk man who took the initiative to greet Jiang Chuan.

He seemed to be a very outgoing person. Even though Jiang Chuan had displayed tremendous and incredible strength, he wasn't worried at all that Jiang Chuan was an enemy or someone who was unapproachable. He greeted him directly.

Unlike the drunk man, the young man in white appeared much more cautious, looking at Jiang Chuan with a serious expression.

Jiang Chuan glanced at the two people with completely different personalities and made no attempt to hide anything, saying, "Just call me Jiang Chuan."

"Jiang Chuan?" The young man in white and the drunk man both repeated the name in their minds at the same time, but unfortunately they couldn't remember who it was. This was not surprising, although Jiang Chuan had once disguised himself as Bai Yifei in Xinzheng, South Korea, and pretended to be a great general of South Korea before leaving without a trace, which caused a sensation throughout the world.

But that was only because of that incident.

On the contrary, Jiang Chuan himself, although he was once known as one of the Four Fiends of the Night, was only known to some people in Xinzheng. In the world, he was still an unknown figure.
