Chapter 21 Please, don't kill me.
Chapter 21 Please, don't kill me.
They were walking briskly.
Lin Shuang took out several Qi and Blood Pills and fed them to his mouth. He could sense the killing intent behind him getting closer and closer.
He dared not linger for a moment. Looking at the city lord's mansion, which was just one street away, he unleashed his full power and increased his speed once again.
Da da da da...
Just as Lin Shuang felt the chilling killing intent close behind her.
Footsteps sounded at the corner of the long street in front of us.
"It's... the city guards! We're saved!"
Lin Shuang forced herself to take a deep breath, and with a sudden leap, she rushed directly in front of the group of people in the blink of an eye.
"Who is it?"
The leader, a tall, middle-aged man, grabbed the sword at his waist.
The group of people following behind immediately became alert, all turning their gazes to the young man who seemed to have lost his strength in a panic, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground in a sorry state, his body reeking of blood.
"Quickly, save me! I am Lin Shuang from the Lin family of Yunzhou..."
"Young Master Lin Shuang?"
The burly man at the head of the group had actually seen the face of the young man in brocade robes in front of him at a glance.
Shocked, before he could speak, he heard Lin Shuang introduce herself and ask for help.
He immediately stepped forward and reached out to help Lin Shuang up.
"Young Master Lin Shuang, what happened to you? In Yuanguang City, who would dare to hurt you?"
"Yes, it's Li Xiuyuan from the Li family. That brat returned to the Li family and just now... he even killed everyone in the Li family... and he even tried to kill me."
Just as Lin Shuang was speaking in a panic, a dark shadow flashed and stopped about three zhang away from the group.
"It's him...it's him! Arrest him immediately!"
As Lin Shuang spoke, she took out a few more Qi and Blood Pills and fed them into his mouth.
He then stepped back a few paces and stood behind several city guards.
At this moment, Lin Shuang rapidly absorbed the medicinal power of the pill and then looked at the city lord's mansion with its lights on not far away.
He had just witnessed Lin Shuang single-handedly annihilating the entire Li family at the Li residence.
Even Li Cangshan, a seventh-rank warrior, was killed by Li Xiuyuan. Although these city guards were all first-rank martial artists, they were still killed.
The city guard commander who had just spoken to him was at the peak of the ninth rank.
But he knew he was no match for Li Xiuyuan.
However, they could only hold them off for a moment; once they broke into the city lord's mansion, they would be fine.
Shen Jiyue, the city lord of Yuanguang City, is a true seventh-rank martial artist.
He is far more powerful than Li Cangshan, who has only recently entered the seventh rank.
He finally understood that Li Xiuyuan was now just a madman who only wanted to kill and seek revenge.
However, that mysterious cultivation technique allowed him to reach the peak of the eighth rank in just three days, and even gain the strength to fight against a seventh rank.
What's even stranger is that his internal energy seems inexhaustible.
Lin Shuang now realized that Li Xiuyuan had completely gone mad, and if she were caught, she would surely die!
This was something he had never considered before coming to Yuanguang City, so Lin Shuang told himself that he absolutely could not die here. He had the Lin family backing him and was also a disciple of the Falling Sword Sect.
The future is bright, we absolutely cannot let ourselves be ruined here!
"He killed the entire Li family. Suppress and arrest him immediately, do it now..."
Pointing at Li Xiuyuan, who was standing there coldly looking at her, even in the night, Lin Shuang could almost see those eyes that were like those of a venomous snake.
It roared again and then retreated.
Li Xiuyuan, standing there, swept his cold eyes over the people in front of him, finally fixing his gaze on Lin Shuang, who was constantly shrinking back among the city guards.
Looking up, you can see the brightly lit city lord's mansion not far away.
He sneered inwardly.
"Lin Shuang is quite clever, thinking of seeking refuge at the city lord's mansion."
Shen Jiyue, the city lord of Yuanguang City, is a seventh-rank official who is more powerful than his "uncle" who has turned into a corpse.
However, at this moment, how could Li Xiuyuan possibly give Lin Shuang any chance?
"Stop right there, you..."
*Pfft!*
Before the city guard commander, who was at the peak of the ninth rank, could finish speaking, he felt a sharp sword pierce through his chest.
Then he felt his head being grabbed.
In an instant, the world spun around him, and his internal energy surged uncontrollably toward the palm above his head!
With a "bang," Li Xiuyuan absorbed the power from the body of this ninth-rank peak city guard commander, then crushed his skull and threw it aside.
"What... how dare you..."
At this moment, the others seemed to realize what was happening, and immediately drew their long swords from their waists with a clang.
But Li Xiuyuan was faster than them.
The reason why Li Xiuyuan has not been able to catch up with Lin Shuang is because he had just exhausted himself at the Li family.
However, he had taken some pills on his way here, and also absorbed one-third of the internal energy of that peak ninth-rank martial artist.
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan took a step forward and his figure was already among the city guards, his sword flashing.
Puff puff puff puff...
In a short time, these newly-entered or mid-ninth-rank city guards were completely on the ground.
Seeing Li Xiuyuan make his move, Lin Shuang didn't hesitate at all. She turned around and desperately used the "Blood Shadow Step" to rush towards the City Lord's Mansion.
but……
Almost in the blink of an eye, a bloody shadow flashed around him and his figure leaped into the air.
A sharp gust of wind whistled past his right leg!
"what……"
The excruciating pain caused Lin Shuang to suddenly lose her balance and fall to the ground.
Looking down, he immediately saw that his right leg was more than ten feet away from him.
Li Xiuyuan, who had just drawn his sword, was now walking towards him step by step, wiping the blood off his longsword.
"You...you...Li Xiuyuan, you...you don't come any closer."
At this moment, Lin Shuang wanted to shout and beg for mercy, but he felt as if something was choking him.
"what!"
At that moment, the excruciating pain from her severed right leg swept over her entire body. Lin Shuang immediately reached out and covered the bleeding stump of her right leg, her eyes filled with tears of terror.
Li Xiuyuan only glanced at Lin Shuang, who was curled up in a ball, struggling in pain.
Without hesitation, he reached out and absorbed the power of the city guards present, whose limbs he had crippled and who were trembling and groaning for mercy.
woohoo hoo...
Although they could only absorb one-third of the power, the sheer number of people made up for it; this group of city guards numbered over twenty.
Moreover, they were all of the ninth rank. Although their internal strength varied, Li Xiuyuan did not discriminate.
As the streams of internal energy entered his body and settled in his dantian, Li Xiuyuan clearly felt his dantian qi sea expand, his meridians widen with the flow of internal energy, and his overall strength increased once again.
He casually swung his longsword.
Then, sharp sword energies flew out, and before the city guards, who were lying limp on the ground with their faces ashen, could even utter a sound, they had all turned into corpses.
"You, you don't come any closer."
I can tell you anything you want to know, and I can give you anything you want.
Please, please don't kill me.
Clutching her severed leg, the intense stench of blood made Lin Shuang, who had just witnessed the scene, tremble violently.
"I can tell you all the cultivation techniques I practice. Oh, and I can also tell you the secrets about your mother."
"Oh, and there's also information about the mysterious cultivation technique you practice. Anything I know, I can tell you..."
Ok?
Upon hearing Lin Shuang's words, Li Xiuyuan, who was stepping forward, stopped what he was about to do, having originally intended to end Lin Shuang's life with a single sword strike.
He then reached out and grabbed it, took a step, and disappeared into the blood-soaked street...
