For Lin Yuancheng who was serious about defeating someone like Jia Shabai, a broken sword was more than enough.
Even though the "attack interval" of this broken sword is only about half of that of the whole sword, this also increases its swing speed to a certain extent.
At this moment, I saw Xiao Lin walking forward casually, raising his hands and making a gesture.
His sword was so fast that Jia Shabai could not even see it, so the latter naturally had no time to make any block or dodge movements.
The next second, Jia Shabai felt his face go cold, and a wound appeared on his face.
This gash went all the way up from the right side of his chin, tearing his cheek, and scratched open the silkworm under his right eye. A bloody splash instantly appeared. If the blade of the broken sword had been half longer, Jia would have been killed. Sha Bai's right eye was probably blind.
But this was just the beginning - it was Lin Yuancheng's first move.
His second sword, third sword, fourth sword... came immediately after.
The elusive broken sword edge kept striking from incredible angles, and all Jia Shabai could do was to retreat back step by step while waving the precious weapon in his hand indiscriminately.
For Jia Shabai at this moment, it seemed that he was no longer competing with a human being, but was being cannibalized bit by bit by some creature that was much faster than humans.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten holes, large and small, had been torn open on the body of the "Fuhu Sword", and his expression became extremely frightened, and fear was like a pair of invisible hands, strangling his throat, making him I couldn't even utter a word to beg for mercy.
Someone may ask after seeing this, with Lin Yuancheng's strength, if he really wanted to kill Jia Shabai, even with this broken sword, he wouldn't need more than three moves, right? Why is this battle so important?
In fact, the answer is very simple, because at this time, Lin Yuancheng still had no intention of killing Jia Shabai. The murderous intention he showed was just to scare the other party.
Lin Yuancheng has seen a lot of people like the "Ten Swordsmen of Hebei". These guys belong to the same category as the "Five Righteousnesses of Huizhou" in the previous document. They are a group of second-, third-rate or even low-level gangsters. They form gangs and Birds of a feather flock together, cheating and drinking everywhere, bullying the few with more, and taking advantage of power... The reputation is loud and clear, but once the ability is revealed, it can't even make a splash.
If you want to say that such people are good people, they are definitely not. There are definitely many rookies and ordinary people who have been bullied by them.
But if you want to say how bad they really are, it's not that bad... because they usually encounter criminals such as petty thieves, bandits, flower pickers and prostitutes, and they will crack down "within their ability"; if they catch up with some During major events in the world, they would also go to gather the numbers and momentum for Wulin Zhengdao. (By the way, when the sword defeated the demon, these ten people also went, but because they were in the small town inn outside Wujian Villa, When they saw Lin Yuancheng coming, they withdrew again that night and didn't discuss the sword at all the next day. From a certain point of view, this was also a good thing. If they really went, they might not be able to get rid of Tianxing and Sword. Mo Wushuang survived these two rounds of catastrophe).
In short, "people in the world" are like this...
You can't expect every self-proclaimed hero to be a true hero who puts life and death aside and is righteous and selfless. Aren't most people traveling around the world just for fame and fortune?
This kind of old man who messes around within the rules is where most people end up.
Lin Yuancheng also understands that it is not that these people want to be like this, but their talents, fate, character, abilities, etc., determine that they can only be like this.
That's why Xiao Lin pretended to have murderous intentions at this moment, preparing to scare Jia Shabai psychologically and make the other party suffer a little bit physically. When the other party realizes that he has offended someone who should not be offended, please... If you give in, he will naturally let it go.
Unexpectedly, Jia Shabai was so frightened that he had no energy left to speak.
As for his nine "brothers", headed by Zheng Ziqi, they had quietly retreated to a considerable distance, as if they were about to leave him behind...
As long as one of those few people can stand up and beg for mercy for their eldest brother, Lin Yuancheng will follow this step.
Fortunately, not long after, a third party came to the rescue.
Let's say... just when Zheng Ziqi and the others were about to escape, suddenly a dozen tall and burly men, dressed just like ordinary guests, rushed up from downstairs.
This group of people was also very interesting. As soon as they got to this floor, they wanted to go to Zhu Qingyan and Zhang Jigao. As a result, Zhang Jigao glared at him and applied the emergency brake. They stood there frozen for a few seconds, and then Maybe he read the meaning in Lao Zhang's eyes, so he turned around, pretending that he was here to break up the fight from the beginning, and rushed towards Lin Yuancheng and Jia Shabai.
"Stop!" When the strong man at the head shouted, he instinctively reached for his waist.
But when he touched it, he remembered: By the way, I didn't bring a knife today.
As for Lin Yuancheng, he didn't even give the other party any time to be embarrassed. When Xiao Lin saw that something was wrong, he immediately retracted and stopped his sword moves, then stopped.
The strong man was stunned when he saw it, and said to himself: "Huh? Why is this boy so obedient? I am not wearing official uniform today. Does he know me?"
"Brother, what advice do you have?" When Lin Yuancheng asked this, his murderous intent was gone and his tone was quite polite.
"Uh..." Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, the strong man felt a little at a loss and replied hesitantly, "I... I was having a drink with my friends downstairs and heard some noise, so I came up to take a look."
The "friends" he spoke of were undoubtedly the dozen or so strong men following him at the moment.
I believe all the readers can see that these people are not ordinary guests, but palace guards - people who were secretly arranged by Zhang Jige without telling Princess Qingzhen and responsible for secretly following and protecting them.
It is natural for Zhang Ji to do this. After all, this is outside the palace. Even if Princess Qingyi thinks that having Lao Zhang as a bodyguard is enough, Lao Zhang does not dare to be careless; because after all, he is only one person, no matter how high his martial arts skills are, he will There is a situation that cannot be taken into consideration. If something goes wrong with the princess outside the palace, it will be a small matter for him, Zhang Jige, to be chopped into pieces with a thousand knives, but the royal family's face and even the state of Dashu will suffer a big loss.
At the moment, the dozen or so guards in disguise and pretending to be "on duty" for guests downstairs obviously swarmed up to escort him because they heard the fighting on the top floor.
Unexpectedly, when they came up, they found that the princess was fine at all and was standing there watching a show with Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang used his eyes to signal them not to reveal their identity, so they had no choice but to pretend to be here to break up the fight. .
"Oh... I'm sorry to disturb you all." Lin Yuancheng said, throwing away the broken sword and looking at Jia Shabai, who was sitting on the ground with a confused look on his face, "Then... let's not fight, right?"
"Ah?" Jia Shabai was already confused at this time and didn't know how to react.
The guards and other members of the "Ten Swordsmen of Hebei" also looked at each other in confusion.
No one thought that Lin Yuancheng could change his attitude so quickly. One second he was so murderous, but the next second he was stopped by a passerby he didn't know with just one word?
"Okay, okay, let me say something fair!" At this time, Faning, who had been sitting in the Xinglin Pavilion without moving, saw that the situation seemed to be stable, and walked out to act as peacemaker, "Today's matter is Well...actually it's not a big deal, we are all in the martial arts world, so it's normal to have a lot of anger and a little friction."
As he spoke, he leaned over and took back his sword from the limp Jia Shabai's hand: "Everyone is hurting each other right now, why don't we stop here and disperse... to avoid causing any more unnecessary trouble... …”
When the word "trouble" was mentioned, Faning's eyes swept over the palace guards inadvertently. He even seemed to glance at Zhu Qingzhen and Zhang Jidai in the distance.
"Then what...Uncle Jia, after all, you were wrong in this matter first. What you did was not very honest. Now that it's like this, I can't negotiate the business with Lin Shaoxia and Linghu Shaoxia...so , In my opinion, you are the only one who has to pay for the things that were damaged in this fight just now?" Faning said, without waiting for the other party's answer, he walked into the house with his sword, ready to pack up his things and run away.
His hands and feet were also fast enough. He packed up all his goods in three strokes, and then came out carrying a large wooden box.
"Young Master Lin, Young Master Linghu, I'm sorry, I still have something to do. We have a long way to go, and we are destined to meet again. We have a long time to come, and we will see you again..." Faning said goodbye to Xiao Lin and Linghu as if he was talking. With great speed and even faster steps, he quickly left the place of right and wrong.
Only later did Jia Shabai and others find out that when Faning left, he didn't even settle a penny's debt with Yao Menglou. In other words... the ten of them not only had to compensate for the damage to the things they had broken, but also the I have to pay for the meal I just had.
They made this a fuss together, got nothing out of it, got beaten up, lost a lot of money, and even treated Faning to a big meal for nothing.
Lin Yuancheng and Linghuxiang didn't stay any longer. They could also see that Fan Ning's "fair words" were actually helping them to get away from each other. Now that the matter was over, they should stop worrying about buying swords. It's a big deal. Let's evacuate quickly. If we don't evacuate, we will be left to clean up the mess.
As a result, this matter ended here.
Naturally, the "Ten Swordsmen of Hebei" did not dare to stop Lin Yuancheng and Linghu Xiang, and the Madam saw that someone was left to pay the bill, so she would not cause trouble.
Afterwards, because there were so many witnesses to the incident, it was inconvenient for Jia Shabai and the other ten to distort the facts excessively. So, in order to make themselves look good, they began to brag wildly about Lin Yuancheng's power, the "Hunyuan Divine Sword" The name spread like wildfire.
…………
Time returns to the present.
When Zhu Qingzhen asked about Zhang Ji's words, "This boy will become a top master within five years," he was stunned and could not answer.
However, Zhu Qingzhen didn't let the other party stay awkward for too long, so he answered himself: "Hehe... Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't answer, Lao Zhang. I'll tell him after I've had a few tricks with him, and then I'll ask him a few words in person, and I'll see for myself. "
"What?" Zhang Jici was shocked, "My lord, are you trying to..."
"Since the past few days, I have received news from spies one after another..." Zhu Qingzhen continued, "It is said that members of the 'Hunyuan Star Sect' have entered the city in the past few days, and just now, Lao Zhang, you came Before, I happened to know that Lin Yuancheng also showed up... Hehe, I have made arrangements. I will go and meet this guy named Lin tonight..."
