Chapter Twenty-Six: Hold Your Breath

"Poof!"

A muffled sound reached the ears of Xu Chen, who was thinking.

Although this muffled sound was extremely faint and not easy to detect, it was undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue for Xu Chen, who was concentrating.

"It's on, no! It can't be, how can they be so fast!"

After a little doubt, Xu Chen finally understood.

"Looks like there's people in front of and behind the inn!

Xu Chen sighed secretly, quickly came to the door, squatted down and gently opened a crack in the door to look.

The second floor of the inn is a circle of corridors, through the gap of the corridors, Xu Chen can clearly see the situation at the counter at the entrance of the first floor, but when he saw it, he couldn't help but be shocked, and the hairs on his body stood up unobediently.

A man in black was pulling out a steel knife from the counter boss's mouth, and the boss's cheeks had long been opened by the steel knife, and blood was dripping from both cheeks, even the back of his head.

The innkeeper was in a state of confusion, and before he could make a sound, he was drowned in endless silence.

"This is the boss with a very bright handle in Lao Wang's mouth?"

Xu Chen was quite disappointed, it seems that the formula is just a formula after all.

"The old rules!

At this time, a man in black led by a man whispered to the others, "Find her! ”

The other black-clothed men nodded at him slightly, but one of the young men said, "Big brother, why don't you light the fire first, I see that the big man next to the girl is ......."

"Shut up!"

The black-clothed man at the head shouted softly, "It is precisely because he is a cultivator that he can't let the fire wake him up, otherwise we will all have to finish playing, besides, since the 'guest' said so, why should we do it, that big man should not belong to us, and at the critical time, the 'guest' will come out." ”

After speaking, more than a dozen well-trained men in black divided into two teams and walked lightly towards the second floor from the stairs on both sides.

A big man who doesn't leave a girl?

A series of words kept tumbling in Xu Chen's mind, he gently closed the door, and wanted to call Lao Wang up, but after thinking about it, he didn't do it, the only thing he might do when he got up was to scream and run away, but in that case, he really couldn't escape.

Thinking that he didn't even have a weapon to take advantage of at this time, Xu Chen returned to the bed again, lifted the quilt, picked up a narrow bed board, put his hands on one end of the board, and his fingertips instantly forced.

With a click, the plank shattered into two pieces along the grain of the wood, the front of one of which happened to be a sharp spike.

Xu Chen held the sharp wood tightly, came to the door, put his ear on the wooden door, he breathed slowly, and tried to listen to everything outside the door.

The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night kills.

One room, two rooms......

Xu Chen listened carefully, and through those slight footsteps, he could completely determine the distance between those black-clothed people and his room.

In the night, there was silence in the inn, and not even a single howl was heard, and the passers-by passed away in their sleep.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, Xu Chen's heartbeat became faster and faster, although these black-clothed people were not cultivators, but from their conversations and skills, it could be concluded that they were by no means ordinary people.

They are not masked, which means that they are bound to win, and they are well-trained, which means that they are not ordinary bandits, but more like battle-hardened soldiers.

Soldier!

Thinking of this, Xu Chen couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, even if he was a cultivator, but in the face of more than two dozen soldiers, and maybe even more, he would never be able to take advantage of it. What's more, there were two cultivators in the jungle behind the inn who had unfathomable cultivation.

Thinking of this, Xu Chen kept scolding himself in his heart, if he firmly believed in his hunch at that time, if he didn't live in this inn with Lao Wang, everything would not have happened. Of course, he also scolded the scar-faced duo he met during the meal, and from the simple conversation of these black-clothed people, Xu Chen had already vaguely guessed something.

"Do you want revenge! Is it one thing to be able to pass this level today?"

Xu Chen listened carefully while sarcastically mocking himself.

Just then, a footstep sounded in front of his door.

Xu Chen's ears were close to the door, and the distance between him and the man in black outside was less than a foot, and he could even hear the breathing of the man in black.

He quickly stood up and leaned lightly against the wall behind the door, he had to kill him, and he couldn't be discovered by the other men in black, so he had to wait for this man to enter his room.

With a snort, a steel knife was inserted along the crack of the door, the steel knife skillfully picked up, the door bolt jumped lightly, and with a creak of the door, the man in black pushed the door in.

The man in black took advantage of the moonlight outside, glanced at the whole room, and when he saw that there was no one on one of the beds, and the quilt was lifted, his body was shocked, as if he thought of something, completely ignoring the snoring of the thunderous old Wang, quickly turned around and looked behind the door.

However, before he could turn his whole body, a spike plunged deep into his throat, and just as he tried to scream with the last of his strength, the spike thrust thrust forward again, and the real wooden thorn pierced his neck, and blood came out from behind, and he could no longer make a sound, only the gurgling blood bubbles in the Adam's apple.

The man in black was not completely unconscious, he stared at the young man in front of him with puzzled eyes, as if asking again, who are you? Why do you know that someone is coming, why do you draw your sword so quickly?

However, when he looked down at his eyes, he was shocked that it was just a piece of wood stuck in his throat.

The calf swung back slightly, the door creaked shut, Xu Chen grabbed the collar of the man in black with his left hand, and gently placed the man in black on his bed.

He held the wooden thorn tightly in his right hand, and with a fierce stirring, the man in black finally stiffened his eyes, stopped trembling, and stopped breathing.

However, this was not over, Xu Chen came to the door again, put his ear on it again, and the silent killing outside continued. There was no fighting, proving that they hadn't found the person they were looking for, the Scarface.

How Xu Chen wished that they would find the scarface's room immediately, so that they would leave early, or if they fought, Xu Chen could sneak away with Lao Wang.

However, thinking of something, Xu Chen just thought about how to escape with Lao Wang, and Lao Wang woke up.

Maybe he was woken up by a slight noise, maybe he was choked by a salty smell, but in short, he was awake.

Lao Wang squinted his eyes, his face was impatient, it was the kind of impatience that was woken up, and there was a little anger in it.

"Uncle, you haven't slept yet, what are you eating?"

Lao Wang muttered tiredly, and turned his head to look at Xu Chen's bed.

At that moment, he was stunned, or rather stupid, this middle-aged man who ran the rivers and lakes all year round had indeed never seen such a bloody scene.

The moonlight outside the window spilled into the room, shining coldly on the bed, and the blood stained the bedding, the bed board, and the eyes of Lao Wang.

The corpse had a large mouth open, like a legendary man-eating zombie, and blood was still gushing from its throat below its mouth.

“a......”

Lao Wang just wanted to shout out this word, but before he could make a sound, he was stopped by Xu Chen with a wave of his hand.

"Shh

Xu Chen raised his index finger at the door and stood in front of his lips, "Don't make a sound!"

However, where is Lao Wang willing to listen, he and Xu Chen are not familiar with each other, they are really not familiar, they have only known each other for a few days, or more than ten days, and Lao Wang has forgotten because of panic. He didn't know what was going on outside, and he didn't know that if Xu Chen hadn't made a move just now, he wouldn't have had a chance to speak.

He naturally didn't know that Xu Chen was saving him, he just saw a dead body lying on the bed not far away, extremely terrifying, and Xu Chen was holding a chopping wood with blood in his hand, no matter how stupid he was, he could see that this person was killed by Xu Chen.

In the final analysis, Lao Wang is still an honest man after all, he thinks that as long as he shouts out loudly and let the entire inn hear, Xu Chen naturally doesn't dare to do anything to himself, at least other guests can come over to help.

However, he didn't know that all the people living outside this room were the ones who wanted to kill him. He was an honest man, unpretentious but stupid.

After all, he still took advantage of the moment Xu Chen turned his head and shouted, "Ahhh......h

Before he could finish shouting, a piece of chopping wood with blood crossed his side of his face and inserted into the head of the bed behind him, and the latter half of the sentence was suffocated back by him, and his face was flushed.

Xu Chen pointed at him angrily, but Lao Wang's shout had already reached the door.

"Look what's going on in the middle room! Doesn't that mean quieter?" a voice shouted, though it wasn't small.

Xu Chen knew that there must be a finger pointing at his room at this time, but he could only wait now.

"Yes!"

Another voice replied. Then a person's footsteps slowly approached the room where Xu Chen was.

Xu Chen glared at Lao Wang angrily again, Lao Wang no longer dared to speak, he knew that the young man in front of him would probably kill him in an instant, he looked at the terrible corpse again, and at the same time he was afraid and his heart was full of doubts.

In Lao Wang's understanding, everyone has to fight for development, but the person who has died is not known how much bigger than Xu Chen, and he can't figure out how Xu Chen killed him.

"What's the matter, we're all done, and we haven't found anyone, why haven't you come out?"

A coarse voice came from outside the door, and after a while, Xu Chen could feel a hand on the handle of the door, but to Xu Chen's surprise, that hand then took it down.

Just when Xu Chen didn't know why, a bright steel knife pierced the wooden door and stabbed at Xu Chen, who was leaning against the wall.
