As soon as he entered the inn, the first thing he saw was Shi Tang and Ximen Chuisha sitting at the entrance.
However, Chi Huo did not greet the two of them, because his gaze was fixed on Lin Yan sitting inside.
"Brother Zhang, it's been a long time."
"It's been six years since we last met."
With a smile, Chi Huo strode towards Lin Yan and greeted him directly.
This scene caused Ximen Chuisha to pause slightly in surprise.
The Chi family's status within the Dao Alliance is inferior to that of the Ximen family.
Even if Chi Huo had the title of Little Fire God, he didn't think much of him.
After all, the Chi family isn't even a third-rate family.
But that one word, "Brother Zhang," made Ximen Chuisha fall into deep thought.
The Zhang family in the Dao Alliance is a single family. Although they have fallen to the second tier, they still have the reputation of being the second best swordsman in the world.
"Brother Chi, it's been a long time."
"The last time we met was at the Zhang family's house; it's been six years since then."
"I've even heard of Brother Chi's title of Little Fire God."
Lin Yan smiled when he saw that it was an acquaintance.
Although the Zhang family is not particularly prominent, they are still among the well-connected families.
For example, the Chi family has been on very good terms with the Zhang family for hundreds of years.
They even frequently arrange marriages to strengthen the bond between the two families.
"I'm just being polite."
"To be honest, it's because Brother Zhang was never born yet, otherwise, with Brother Zhang's talent..."
"His fame has probably already spread far and wide."
Chi Huo sat down next to Lin Yan with a wry smile. The two had known each other since childhood.
Of course, Chi Huo was actually closer to Zhang Zheng than Lin Yan.
Chi Huo had occasionally visited the Zhang family with his father since childhood, but he rarely saw Lin Yan.
"Brother Chi is joking."
Lin Yan smiled and shook his head, then gestured for Chi Huo to sit down.
It's different if they're acquaintances, and Chi Huo is a very open and honest person, not a cunning or treacherous villain.
Although they are not very strong, the members of the Chi family are generally very upright.
"Brother Chi, since this is your friend..."
"How about I introduce you?"
Ximen Chuisha, accompanied by Shitang, walked to Lin Yan's table and asked with a smile.
Now that he knew who the other party came from, he felt much calmer.
Although the Zhang family members are few in number, they are still a prominent family within the Dao Alliance and would not easily lay a hand on him.
"No need for introductions."
“We are not on the same path, as I have already told you before.”
Lin Yan waved his hand in refusal, his gaze toward Ximen Chuisha remaining as cold as ever.
These words caused Shi Tang to frown slightly.
"You're a bit too arrogant, aren't you?"
"Even the Wang Quan family, the number one swordsman in the world, are probably not as arrogant as you."
"Hmph, I really don't know what makes you so proud and arrogant about being the second best swordsman in the world."
Unlike Ximen Chuisha, Shi Tang was not cautious. He thought Lin Yan was simply relying on his status as a member of a prestigious family.
The fact that Shi Tang looked down on him and Ximen Chuisha made him very dissatisfied.
Although he was not from a prominent family, he was still somewhat well-known in the Dao Alliance, and his master was a powerful figure in the Dao Alliance.
"No matter what, the second-best swordsman in the world is still better than you."
"You look down on us but still insist on getting close to us, it's really embarrassing."
Dongfang Qinlan's voice rang out from next door at an inopportune moment.
Although her words were impolite, they were the absolute truth.
This immediately changed the expressions on Shi Tang and Ximen Chuisha's faces.
Anyone could tell that this was a sarcastic remark mocking the two of them for not knowing what was good for them.
"You brat! It's none of your business!"
"Shut up, or I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Shi Tang looked at Dongfang Qinlan with a cold expression; he dared not lash out at Lin Yan without permission.
After all, the reputation of being the second-best swordsman in the world is not to be underestimated. Although he has the reputation of the Cold Jade Sword, he may not have the guts to compete with Lin Yan in the city.
"Someone like you doesn't deserve to wield a sword!"
"Those who wield swords only dare to bully the weak, not to challenge those in high positions."
"No wonder your strength is just like this."
Lin Yan frowned slightly. Although he didn't make a move, his words completely ignited the fire in the stone hall.
He immediately drew the long sword from his waist.
"asshole!"
"Just because he comes from a better family, he really thinks he's someone important!"
"If you've got the guts, then let's have a match!"
"Let me see what's so special about this second-best swordsman in the world!"
Shi Tang drew his sword from his waist and took a step toward Lin Yan.
But before he could even swing his sword, he felt a terrifying sword intent suddenly erupt.
The sword intent, mixed with a terrifying killing intent, shocked everyone in the inn.
Shi Tang held his long sword in mid-air, but dared not go any further.
"I told you, you are not worthy to wield a sword."
Lin Yan waved his right hand lightly, and a black sword aura slashed down.
It struck the longsword in Shi Tang's hand, accompanied by a crisp clang.
The sword in Shi Tang's hand snapped in two.
Not only that, the remaining killing intent also invaded Shi Tang's body.
At this moment, Shi Tang suddenly seemed to lose all his strength and collapsed to the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.
The feeling he just experienced made him feel as if he was about to die there.
He had experienced that feeling of being incredibly close to death.
They were facing a demon king with terrifying power.
If it weren't for the many powerful figures in the Dao Alliance coming to his rescue at that time, he would probably have died long ago.
"impossible"
"How could the gap be so big?"
Shi Tang's pupils trembled as he stared at his broken sword in disbelief.
He was once hailed as a genius.
Unexpectedly, the defeat was so devastating.
The opponent had defeated him without even drawing his sword.
"Hmph, he's still the second-best swordsman in the world."
"Who do you think you are, a nobody, yet you dare to challenge me?"
Dongfang Qinlan was someone who loved watching a good show, and seeing Shi Tang's incredulous expression helped him better understand himself.
Sure enough, as soon as he said those words, Shi Tang's eyes turned completely dark.
"This is the second-best sword in the world."
"Such terrifying killing intent truly befits a sword known for its ruthlessness."
"Luckily I didn't act impulsively, otherwise my fate probably wouldn't have been any better than Shi Tang's."
Looking at the stone hall known as the Cold Jade Sword, Ximen Chuisha couldn't help but feel fortunate.
