Chapter 23

In the scene, three figures in black robes were cut into pieces, the sight was quite shocking.

Blood flowed to Xu Wuzhou's feet.

At this moment, the sword in Xu Wuzhou's hand had already shattered, leaving only the hilt in his hand.

This sword was too powerful; after one strike, the long sword could not withstand the force and shattered into pieces.

He stood there, all his strength drained by this one strike, barely able to stand.

The feeling of exhaustion was very uncomfortable. Although this sword was powerful, it drained all his strength, making him vulnerable to anyone at this moment.

"Oh, I forgot you're a weakling. Using this sword was a bit too much for you."

The old man's voice echoed in Xu Wuzhou's soul.

Xu Wuzhou wanted to curse when he heard this. You only think of this now?

If he had used this move just now and lacked the strength to execute it, wouldn't he have been waiting to die?

"You're too weak. After so long, you still haven't reached the innate realm. Shameful!"

The old man mocked Xu Wuzhou.

"..." Xu Wuzhou wanted to drag him out and beat him to death.

"The Sword of Annihilation is deep within your soul. You need to spend time feeling it."

The old man's voice grew weaker. After saying this, he urgently shouted, "This remnant soul can't hold on any longer. I'm dying. Remember my words, boy."

After the old man finished speaking, his remnant soul truly dissipated, completely silent.

"Really? Is that old man really dead and gone?"

Xu Wuzhou tried hard to sense his soul and indeed could not feel his presence.

Xu Wuzhou had no time to think about it further. With his body drained of energy, he suddenly remembered the blood-colored liquid in the stone bowl, which could replenish his energy.

With a thought, the blood-colored liquid merged into his body, and the originally drained Xu Wuzhou finally regained a bit of energy.

Xu Wuzhou was overjoyed as the blood-colored liquid continuously merged into his body.

In a short while, the hundred drops of liquid were completely consumed.

However, his energy was restored to its peak.

Xu Wuzhou sighed in relief, finally feeling at ease, fearing that someone might appear to kill him just now.

"This sword can't be used recklessly. Using it drains all your strength, making you a sitting duck."

Xu Wuzhou checked his body and found a wound on his chest, caused by the green stone.

As a physician, he naturally knew how to handle the wound.

Seeing the bloodstains on his body, Xu Wuzhou thought he needed to change his clothes.

...

On the upper floor, Dai Yaoyao watched Xu Wuzhou's retreating back, her beautiful eyes shimmering.

"What are you thinking about now?"

Yu Feng asked Dai Yaoyao.

Dai Yaoyao giggled, giving Yu Feng a flirtatious look, full of charm: "Do you really want to know?"

Yu Feng, thinking of the demoness's reputation, shivered and shook his head vigorously: "Not at all!"

Dai Yaoyao's leg was propped up, swinging idly, the bells on her ankle jingling, her feet delicate and as white as snow.

Even Yu Feng, who couldn't live without women, kept his eyes straight.

"A young man with high medical skills and already on the path of cultivation, I don't know what to do with him."

Dai Yaoyao giggled.

Yu Feng silently mourned for Xu Wuzhou. Being noticed by this demoness was never a good thing.

"Think about it slowly. I have something to do and need to leave."

"By the way, when I went to the brothel yesterday, I found two disciples of the Jun Tian Sect."

Yu Feng suddenly said to Dai Yaoyao.

"Are you sure they are disciples of the Jun Tian Sect?"

"That's interesting. The Jun Tian Sect is restless. Do they have designs on Lin'an City?"

Dai Yaoyao suddenly became excited.

Yu Feng shivered at the sight. These lunatics really don't mind causing trouble. How dare they have designs on Lin'an City?

The birthplace of a great hero! However, the Jun Tian Sect has a deep relationship with certain people in Chaoge. Could this be Chaoge's idea?

Yu Feng was deeply frightened and shook his head vigorously: Thinking about this is too exhausting. Why bother with these lunatics?

"Help me investigate the background of those two disciples of the Jun Tian Sect?"

Dai Yaoyao said to Yu Feng.

"If this counts as one of the things I promised you, then fine! Otherwise, no... I don't want to get involved in your righteous and evil conflicts."

Yu Feng said, "Besides, I have something to do."

"What could you possibly have to do in Lin'an City?"

Dai Yaoyao was curious. Could this guy also have some plans in Lin'an City? This guy is used to courting death, who knows.

He might even want to make a grand entrance and become the King of Lin'an.

"I heard there's a literary gathering in Lin'an City tonight. A literary gathering, there will be many girls.

I don't have a place to stay tonight, so I need to find someone to sleep with to avoid insomnia."

Yu Feng jumped down from the upper floor, leaving these words.

"Will others only think you're looking for pleasure when you appear in Lin'an City?"

"That's courting death!"

Dai Yaoyao's eyes were filled with laughter. She originally came to Lin'an City to hide from her injuries, but now... should she also make plans for Lin'an City?

...

The Shi family! At this moment, the place was brightly lit, and many young nobles from Lin'an City had gathered here.

The Hundred Schools of Thought were in full bloom, although martial arts were highly esteemed.

However, the path of literature could not be underestimated, such as the Jixia Academy, a holy land of literature.

Many great martial arts sects could not even compare to it, and its disciples were incredibly powerful.

At the literary gathering, regardless of whether they had real talent, the young nobles had to pretend to be refined to prove they were not just brutish.

In the outer courtyard, voices were loud, with many young nobles reciting poetry, discussing martial arts, and debating.

In the inner courtyard, it was very quiet, with only a few people sitting there.

They were the head of the Shi family, Shi Sheng, Xie Guangping, and the young masters of the Li and Mao families, Li Qingfei and Mao Yongliang.

"Nephew, I haven't seen my sons, Shi Lei and Shi Sen, for several days."

Shi Sheng said to Xie Guangping.

"I am very sorry, Uncle. Because of some personal matters, I sent the two brothers to help. They left Lin'an City, and the journey is quite far. It will take some time for them to return."

Xie Guangping said to Shi Sheng without changing his expression.

"Ha ha ha, Nephew, what are you talking about? I'm glad they can learn something from you. I'm afraid they will continue to be foolish."

Shi Sheng laughed heartily.

Xie Guangping smiled, knowing from the start that the two brothers were doomed after he learned of Xu Wuzhou's strength.

However, Shi Sheng was still useful and could not know that he sent Shi Lei and Shi Sen to kill Xu Wuzhou and were killed.

"To talk about foolishness, no one would have thought that the most foolish person in Lin'an City suddenly became a powerful person.

Brother Xie, you sent three powerful people to kill him today, but they haven't returned yet. Has something gone wrong?"

"Rest assured, Xu Wuzhou's strength is at most at the fifth level of the innate realm. I sent people at the seventh level of the innate realm who mastered combat techniques. Killing him is easy.

The Qin family, we must take it.

First, we will kill Xu Wuzhou to disrupt Qin Lixin's mind, and then we will divide the Qin family."

Xie Guangping said.

"That guy has been hiding his strength for so long. He won't be hiding it anymore, right?

The day of the competition was too shocking."

Mao Yongliang said with lingering fear.

"Even if he hides his strength, he will surely die.

I know how strong those three are. Xu Wuzhou has no chance of escaping.

If he still doesn't die this time, it must be the protection of the gods. I would even call him father."

Xie Guangping was dissatisfied with Mao Yongliang's doubt and coldly hummed.

"Ha ha ha! Brother Xie, hearing you say that, I feel reassured.

I don't want to see that guy either."

Mao Yongliang laughed.

Xie Guangping was about to respond when he saw his attendant running towards the pavilion where they were. He smiled and pointed to the attendant, saying to the three of them: "Look, good news is coming."
