Chapter 27: An eye-opener
"Huh?"
The steel knife stabbed into the wall, and the man in black outside was surprised, with the soldier's keen intuition, he had already sensed that there should be a person behind the door, but this knife obviously did not feel like it had stabbed the body.
The man in black pulled back the steel knife, and just as he wanted to break through the door, his feet were already raised, but there was a loud shout outside the door of the inn.
"out, what's going on here, hurry up!"
When the men in black heard this, they didn't have time to think about anything, and rushed downstairs to the door of the inn, where their real goal for the night was located.
Xu Chen was squatting in that corner at this time, and let out a sigh, if he hadn't squatted down just in time, his body would definitely have been poked out of a huge blood hole, even if it was a cultivator, his body was just as fragile, or rather, this cultivator of his cultivation was like this.
Listening to the footsteps in the inn gradually leaving, Xu Chen calmed down a little, came to the bedside, and glanced at the stunned old Wang helplessly.
Although Lao Wang is an elm head, but at this time it seems to be a taste, he looked at Xu Chen for a long time, and asked tremblingly: "Uncle......! Well, let's run!"
Xu Chen smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that Lao Wang sometimes had times when he could make the right choice, of course he had to run away now, otherwise, even if those men in black didn't find the two of them, they would start setting fire to the store.
Running away is naturally no problem. However, when and how to run is a problem.
Xu Chen thought about it, and asked Lao Wang to get dressed, and after everything was ready, Xu Chen still decided to look at the situation and then say, there must be a big battle outside at this time, and he and Lao Wang could leave quietly while everyone was negligent.
He crept out of the room with Lao Wang, and found that there was really no one gasping, and then came to the first floor of the inn.
The shouting and killing outside could be heard clearly, but for some reason, there was only shouting, but there was no sound of weapons colliding.
Xu Chen and the two of them slipped forward step by step by the wall, until they came to the door of the inn, Xu Chen waved his hand back, signaling Lao Wang to stop, and he poked his head out of the door and looked at the jungle not far from the card station.
At the edge of the jungle, dozens of men in black surrounded a carriage in the middle, shouting, shouting, and roaring angrily.
Although the voices of these men in black were noisy, they had only one intention, that is, to let the strong man standing next to the carriage be restrained and not resist.
It's ridiculous to say that although these people in black are excited, and the word "fight" is written on everyone's face, they are slow to do it, and even the man in black who is the leader only glares angrily, and has no intention of making a move.
Compared to the cold, decisive, and well-trained people in the inn, it doesn't look like a group of people.
"You!"
The black-clothed man at the head pointed to the big man next to the carriage, and said with a cold face: "As long as you tie your hands, I can let you live." ”
"Let me live?"
The strong man repeated the other party's words, there was no emotion at all, he held the reins in his right hand, but his left hand subconsciously touched the scar on his left cheek, like a habit. However, those who really know him know that it is more like a ritual, a ritual before killing, "If it weren't for your master's neighborhood, I'm afraid you people would have died a long time ago!"
This person is the one who had a fight with Xu Chen during the meal.
The leader of the men in black was stunned when he heard this, he knew that what the other party said was right, and the reason why he had not given the order to make a move was because he cherished his own life and the lives of his companions.
Although cultivators are by no means invincible to ordinary people, it depends on what kind of state they have reached. However, since he received this order, he understood that the person they were going to deal with today was by no means an ordinary cultivator, because even those two "guests" were full of seriousness when they mentioned this person, and you must know that those two "guests" were already transcendent beings in his heart.
He didn't say anything, just stood coldly in place, this was his duty, he couldn't back down, but on the other hand, he was also waiting, waiting for the two "guests" to appear, he didn't want to make himself and his companions martyrs, or cannon fodder.
However, he was not the only one who had the same idea, including the two "guests" in the jungle.
An evening breeze blew through the jungle, and the leaves swayed with a slight rustling sound.
In the depths of the jungle, an old man and a scholar-like person stood side by side, their eyes staring through the layers of dense forest, staring at everything on the edge of the forest.
Perhaps seeing that the group of men in black were reluctant to do anything, the old man scolded in a hoarse voice: "Why don't you do it, when will he wait?"
"What are you anxious about?"
The scholar beside the old man said, "The longer it takes, the better it will be for us." You haven't seen it yet, this Captain Zhu and that Scarface are waiting for us to make a move!"
The old man furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Why do you say this?"
"Why?"
The scholar glanced at the old man with disdain, and said leisurely: "You are really old, you can think of this with a ditch!" That Captain Zhu naturally knows that they are not Scarface's opponents, once they make a move at this time, they will definitely be killed, and that Scarface is naturally afraid that if he strikes first, it will let the two of us take advantage of the loophole." ”
The old man was naturally very annoyed when he heard the scholar use the analogy of the ditch, but after thinking about it carefully, he would have to fight side by side later, and it was not good to make some contradictions at this time, so he suppressed his anger and asked coldly: "You mean he has discovered our existence?"
"And what about your dreams?"
The scholar's words were even more mean, and his helpless face seemed to be extremely regretful for coming with the old man, "He is in the middle of the Five Realms! Yinghai Realm! Not only is his spiritual energy abundant, but his spiritual sense is extremely keen, so he can't find us? Besides, if it weren't for that, why would we come together today!"
The old man was so angry by the scholar's words and anxious expression that his whole body trembled, he turned his head to the side sharply, and asked in a deep voice: "Then you say, what should we do now?"
The scholar didn't bother to pay attention to him, glanced at the night sky leisurely, smiled and said, "Wait ......"
At this time, Xu Chen in the inn was also waiting, and he was also looking forward to the two sides to hurry up, so that he and Lao Wang could take advantage of the chaos to escape.
However, everyone is waiting, the fight has not started for a long time, the victory or defeat is only in an instant, who dares to joke with life?
Xu Chen retracted his head helplessly, leaned lightly against the wall, and sighed: "Alas! When I was eating, I thought that Scarface was very irritable, but why is it my mother-in-law now." ”
"Hey, uncle, who's out there?"
Lao Wang put his head to Xu Chen's ear and asked in a very small voice, for fear of being heard by others.
"I don't know! I'm not a good guy anyway!"
Xu Chen replied coldly, he was worried, how could he be interested in guessing the origin of those people in black, but, vaguely, he was interested in the plainly dressed girl.
It seems that Scarface is by no means extraordinary, and that girl can make Scarface so respectful and even a little humble, then who is she?
Just when Xu Chen was bored guessing, he suddenly felt the wall he was leaning on suddenly tremble, and then it seemed that the entire inn began to tremble.
Even the whole ground trembled slightly.
Xu Chen thought of something in an instant, and once again poked his head out of the door in horror, he wanted to see what kind of cultivation this scarface would have.
At some point, the wind was already raging outside, and the wind swept the dry leaves on the ground and flew all over the sky, but for some reason, after a while, the leaves were flying in the sky and swirled regularly, as if they had been pulled into a whirlpool that was spinning rapidly.
The leaves slowly converged into the shape of a whirlpool, but the speed became faster and more terrifying, and the center of the whirlpool was the calm Scarface standing beside the carriage.
Lao Wang also poked his head out of the door out of curiosity at this time, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but tremble and asked, "Uncle, do you know what this is? ”
"He's absorbing the aura of heaven and earth!"
Xu Chen replied in a low voice, but it didn't seem like he was answering Lao Wang's question, but more like he was sighing.
He is also a person who has stepped into the door of cultivation, although it is not the same as orthodox practice, but it is enough to see what is happening in front of him.
Xu Chen can naturally absorb the aura of the outside world at this time, but he deeply remembers that when he absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, there will only be a breeze blowing, and if he doesn't feel it carefully, he may even be ignored.
At this time, Scarface's absorption of the aura of heaven and earth could cause such a big reaction, and even produced a whirlpool, how could this not make Xu Chen feel horrified.
What a man is better than a man!
Just as Xu Chen sighed, a buzzing sound sounded, and Xu Chen subconsciously set his eyes on the long sword behind Scarface.
Scarface's right hand was still holding the reins of the carriage, and his left hand was naturally drooping, but the long sword behind his back was raised spontaneously.
It was as if an invisible hand was slowly pulling the long sword outward, an inch, an inch......
It seems that Scarface is still not in a hurry to do it, or dare not rush to do it.
The buzzing sound of the long sword became louder and louder, shaking everyone's eardrums and Xu Chen's heart.
He wanted to know too much what level Scarface had reached, because the Scarface in front of him actually reminded Xu Chen of Bai Qitian.
If the Fifth Realm of the White Poor Heaven was such a power, then wouldn't he have no hope of revenge in this life?
