Chapter 010: A Little Bullying

Old man Sa said

Xu Lang stepped forward and said to Li Liushen, "It is easier for me to aim if you do not move." As he spoke, he drew out the golden snake spear.

Xu Lang instructed

At the moment he reached out to strike the acupoint, a sound of something slicing through the air was heard. He quickly tilted his body to evade, and from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a golden streak of light flashing by, which then lodged itself into the tavern's doorpost, resembling a small golden snake

Xu Lang chuckled and said, "This is a description of your granddaughter's shortcomings."

The Golden Snake Sword missed its target with a single strike, and was immediately pulled by Xu Lang. The tip of the sword turned and tilted slightly, creating a large gash on Li Liushen's thigh at an angle that seemed utterly inconceivable to him

Li Liushen was both shocked and angry, and he spoke out to seek peace. He was also filled with self-reproach, for Xu Lang possessed a treasure, and he had kept this news hidden all along. He had even abandoned his good brother, coming alone to Fujian to investigate. On the surface, he claimed it was for Wang Yangming, but secretly it was all for Xu Lang

A great opportunity

You, go bury the body

Stop!

There is no need for that

Xu Lang nodded and said, "Truly pitiful"

"You are so ugly, have you ever been bullied?"

Li Liushen looked at Xu Lang, one hand covering his leg, his eyes filled with hatred. However, the fear of the sharpness of the Golden Snake Sword made him hesitate to step forward, causing him to retreat repeatedly. He pushed the table in front of him towards Xu Lang.

My granddaughter, Wan'er

Yes, the old man is surnamed Sa. He was originally a local, but he has been doing business outside for the past forty years. Now he has returned to his hometown and can no longer speak the local dialect

Oh ... ...

Li Liushen, upon hearing this, ceased his movements and stood still for the time being

You must not bully us

The two of them came to this place specifically under the orders of Yue Buqun, primarily because of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual

Alright, do not move for now

All of his skills are in his hands; as long as he can grasp Xu Lang's wrist, he can easily subdue Xu Lang.

Old man Sa chuckled twice and then walked inside. Yue Ling Shan, standing beside him, was somewhat gritting her teeth, as they had just opened the shop, and this was the first time someone had so openly insulted her appearance.

The sound of hooves echoed loudly from afar, growing closer. Leading the way was a young gentleman in splendid attire, full of vigor, walking at the forefront. Judging by the direction, he was certainly coming this way

Whoosh

The old man with white hair looked very frightened and spoke up

Yue Ling Shan said

Seeing Li Liushen's eyes wide open, Xu Lang felt around him and found a bag of silver. Upon opening it, he discovered it contained both gold and silver, which could be considered a significant gain in terms of resources.

The golden snake struck suddenly, piercing through his throat in an instant

That being said, Xu Lang understood in his heart why the old man and the young girl did not flee; it turned out to be Lao De Nuo from the Huashan Sect and Yue Ling Shan

Both the trachea and blood vessels were severed, and Li Liushen's throat was leaking air. His limbs were weak, and the only sounds that escaped his throat were coughs, accompanied by his wide-open eyes filled with hatred

Swish swish ... ...

At this moment, Xu Lang's Golden Snake Sword twisted around the pillar and came towards Li Liushen, biting at him in a crooked manner

The old man blocked Xu Lang's line of sight

It is just that... Li Liushen, that scoundrel, mentioned something about treasures, and now it has all been overheard by others

My proficiency with the Golden Snake Spear is somewhat low

Li Liushen, being merely flesh and blood, could not withstand the sharpness of the Golden Snake Sword. Moreover, the bizarre techniques of the Golden Snake Sword defied all the martial arts principles he was familiar with, leaving him at a disadvantage at every turn. As he watched the Golden Snake Sword strike again, Li Liushen pushed off with one leg, creating distance from Xu Lang and retreating beyond the reach of the sword's arc.

Li Liushen noticed the location of Xu Lang's wrist and reached out to grab it.

Xu Lang called out to Li Liushen, retracting his left hand, pinching a golden snake cone between his fingertips

What happened

Xu Lang recognized that the other party was Yue Ling Shan and casually struck up a conversation

An old man, accompanied by his granddaughter, is often bullied by many, but we have grown accustomed to it

The recently executed move "Golden Snake Spitting Venom" was intended to strike at Li Liushen's throat or his eyes, but due to insufficient mastery of the technique and poor accuracy, it merely grazed his face

Xu Lang

Xu Lang leaped forward, the golden snake sword in his hand danced wildly, completely enveloping Li Liushen within.

In terms of martial arts proficiency, although Xu Lang had some fortunate encounters in the Yunxia Temple and learned certain skills, as well as invested money to level up, he still had a gap compared to Li Liushen. However, this gap was completely compensated by the Golden Snake Sword.

Xu Lang looked at the little girl beside him and asked, "Who is she to you?"

It is only a short time since their separation, yet Xu Lang has significantly improved his skills, unexpectedly causing him to suffer such great hardship with a sword.

During their first meeting, Li Liushen expressed his disdain for Xu Lang's slow pace, stating that he had already consumed 7 bowls of wine while Xu Lang had only just arrived

Good, good

Xu Lang instructed Laudenau

The world is fraught with danger, thus when eating or working, most people still keep a degree of vigilance. Xu Lang approached using the Golden Goose Technique, moving silently. However, the mere entrance of a person into this small tavern caused a shift in light and shadow, which had already made Li Liushen accustomed to being alert. Subsequently, after the sound of the Golden Snake Sword slicing through the air was heard, Li Liushen immediately turned sideways and flipped.

Just as he was about to grasp the situation, he suddenly noticed a flash of golden light before his eyes. His hand slowed down, and in a panic, he turned his face to the side, only to feel a sharp pain on his cheek, resulting in a deep cut. This move left him feeling anxious, as he realized that Xu Lang's techniques were insidious and vicious, often catching him off guard.

After a long journey, feeling both exhausted and hungry, and having easily dealt with Li Liushen, Xu Lang now sits in a chair and has no desire to move

You do not uphold martial ethics

How many bowls of wine did you drink today

He reached out and tapped twice on her leg, while Li Liushen applied pressure to the acupoints to seal the blood flow

Xu Lang said: "If you can be bullied by others, why can't I bully you a little?"

Xu Lang chuckled with a smile

Cough cough ... ...

Xu Lang noticed the different accent and asked aloud

Northern accent

At this moment, Laodenuo was extremely anxious. The person riding over was none other than Lin Pingzhi, who had come bearing the dual responsibilities of Huashan and Songshan, making it imperative that he did not fail.

The old man had white hair and beard, while the young one was a girl, dressed in blue clothing, and her appearance was quite ugly

Li Liushen was once again ambushed by Xu Lang, filled with rage, he shouted angrily, "These continuous attacks leave me no opportunity to apply pressure points and stop the bleeding. In desperation, I can only dodge to the side of a pillar to use it as a barrier, restricting Xu Lang's swordplay. Xu Lang, if you stop now and hand over the treasure, there will still be a chance for you to turn back!"

However, upon reflecting on this battle, I feel that it was my unfamiliarity with Xu Lang's techniques that led to my disadvantage of being unarmed. If his brother had been here with a knife, he could have easily subdued Xu Lang.

Li Liushen slightly raised his hand and examined his right thigh, only to find a wound deep enough to expose the bone, and the tearing of flesh rendered his leg completely powerless

Laudano said with a bow

If one must die with eyes wide open, then let it be so

And just as he was slightly distracted, he suddenly felt a pain in his left hand, only to see that under the swirling of the Golden Snake Sword, all five fingers he had captured had been completely severed

He sheathed the Golden Snake Sword and the Golden Snake Cone, sat down on the adjacent chair, turned around, and was surprised to see that the innkeeper had not fled; the old man and the young boy were standing honestly beside him.

Oh ... ...

Xu Lang stepped lightly on the Golden Goose Technique, soaring gracefully into the air. The Golden Snake Sword Technique flowed effortlessly, resembling a golden snake dancing wildly in midair, lunging towards Li Liushen with a fierce bite.

Go and prepare some food

As for the feeling of killing ... this is revenge, Xu Lang felt a sense of relief in his heart

Especially Laudeno, he is not only a disciple of Mount Huashan, but also an undercover agent of Mount Song

The young lad is a good citizen, but he does not dare...
