In the tower, a name that could not be any more ordinary, but to the people of the Bei Sheng Province, this name had a special meaning. Thirty years ago, Yuan Zhenshan, who was known as the best spear in Nanyue, declared that he would challenge the three famous spear users of the Bei Sheng Province. After hearing this news, Li Zhen, the eldest disciple of one of the three famous spears, Chong Tian Xiao Guan Nan, came alone to the border between Bei Sheng and Nanyue — the tower.
The Seven Spears Stealing Souls had long since become a widely spread Jianghu legend in the Bei Sheng Province. It talked about the battle in which Li Zhen killed Yuan Zhenshan with seven spears in the tower. Today, thirty years later, Li Zhen had become the publicly acknowledged king of spears in the Bei Sheng Province. In these thirty years, every time a famous expert from another province wanted to enter the Bei Sheng Province from the tower, two or three people of the Jianghu would jump out from the Jianghu of the Bei Sheng Province to intercept them. Some succeeded and became famous in the province. Some failed and turned into bones by the side of the road, never to be seen again.
But no matter what, intercepting experts from other provinces in the tower had become a rule in the Jianghu of the Bei Sheng Province, a habit. And today, the tower was destined to write a thick and heavy stroke in the Jianghu of the Bei Sheng Province.
"Boss, the wind and sand today are especially strong."
Inside the pagoda was a concave area. There were mountains on both the east and west sides, while the north and south sides were the wastelands at the border of Bei Sheng and Nan Yue. This place was not big, with only a few hundred square feet. Therefore, there were not many buildings in the pagoda. Only an inn stood in the center, and it was called 'Heroes Have Wine'.
It was not even noon yet, but the tower, which was usually deserted, was full of voices today. The small inn was already full of guests. Some of the Jianghu people who did not know each other had even joined together to share a table. The inn, which had only a dozen or so square tables, was filled to the brim.
As soon as the waiter served the dishes, he walked back to the counter and glanced at the place called 'Twenty-eight Mile Desolation' in the south. When he saw the yellow sand covering the sky, he couldn't look far, so he couldn't help but say the words above.
The so-called '28 Li Desolation' actually had a name. It referred to the wasteland near the tower at the border of the South Yue Province. The wasteland at the border of the Northern Victory Province was called the '30 Li Desolation'. The reason why the two wastelands at the border had such strange names was because of the famous battles that had occurred in the thirty years after Li Zhen's Seven Spear Soul Seizing General Yuan Zhenshan died.
Yuan Zhenshan was the first Li Desolation of the '28 Li Desolation' in the south. Those who could be used to fill in the 'Desolation' were all powerful people who were famous in the province. In other words, in these thirty years, there had been fifty-eight battles between powerful people in the tower. Among them, there were fifty-eight people who were on the Hidden Dragon Ranking or those who were on par with the Hidden Dragon Ranking who were buried here. Therefore, the air in the tower carried a thick smell of blood all year round. It was the endless blood of the Jianghu.
"No matter how big the sandstorm is, it can't stop the people coming from the south. It can't stop the animals in the inn from wanting to see '28 Li Desolation' turn into '29 Li Desolation'. You're just a waiter, what are you worrying about?"
In front of the counter, a beautiful woman with shoulder-length hair and wearing a golden dress stared at the abacus in her hand. She didn't even raise her head as she replied to the waiter.
The waiter laughed and said, "No matter what, we are part of the Jianghu in the Northern Victory Province. Naturally, we want to see '28 Li Desolation' turn into '29 Li Desolation'. It's just that we don't have much confidence, so we used this topic to ask the lady boss. Everyone says that the lady boss is well-informed. I just heard the people in the Jianghu say that the people coming to stop Duan Henan are likely to be disciples of the Pure Moon Sect. Do you think this news is true? After all, the Jianghu in the Northern Victory Province hasn't seen a disciple of the Pure Moon Sect for five or six years. "
The Pure Moon Sect was publicly recognized as the number one sect in the Northern Victory Province. However, it was different from the Aojian Villa. The Pure Moon Sect wasn't big, and it didn't have many people. It rarely interfered with the matters of the Jianghu. Therefore, in the eyes of the Jianghu in the Northern Victory Province, the Pure Moon Sect was more like a holy land of martial arts.
Hearing the waiter's question, the lady boss finally raised her head. Her eyebrows were curved, her lips were red, and her face was cold and arrogant. However, there was a hint of natural charm. If Wang Yan looked closely, he would definitely find that this beautiful woman was similar to the lady boss of the Tianmaji "Don't Dare to Get Drunk".
The corner of the beautiful woman's mouth curved slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer. She said, "You're just a coward who can't lift a hand and can't lift a shoulder, and you're a part of the Jianghu? I'm already overestimating you for being able to serve wine here. As for the Pure Moon Sect, they don't easily interfere with the matters of the Jianghu, and they rarely have disciples in the Jianghu. However, every time a disciple from the Pure Moon Sect comes out, it will cause a stir. Did you forget the scene seven years ago when you first came here, right in front of this door, Zong Wanliu killed 'Ruthless Guardian Deity' Tong Shiyan with three fingers? "
Hearing this, the waiter's eyes became a bit dazed. It was clear that he was thinking of the past. He couldn't help but mutter, "Of course I won't forget the battle where 'One Red Dot' first appeared in the Five Province. Tong Shiyan was known as the 'Unbreakable Guardian Deity Body', and his external martial arts were the strongest in Nanyue. Even famous swords and sabers couldn't harm his body, but even so, 'One Red Dot' broke his golden body with three fingers and killed him on the spot.
It's really hard to imagine. If it really is a disciple of the Pure Moon Sect coming out this time, I don't know what kind of person it is. "
The waiter was recalling the past when he didn't expect the Lady Boss's expression to freeze, as if she had sensed something. Then she looked in the direction of the Twenty-eight Mile Desolation and said softly, "They're coming."
Before the voice fell, seven figures rolled out from the yellow sand. The person in front had a tall eagle nose and a scar around his eyes. It was Duan Henan. Behind Duan Henan, a woman with dashing eyebrows and a young man less than 18 years old stood side by side. As for the other four people, they were a little further away.
Aside from the Lady Boss, other people in the inn also noticed Duan Henan's group. Soon, the people in the inn all stood up and looked in the direction of the Twenty-eight Mile Desolation. The originally noisy inn became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Of course, Duan Henan didn't know the situation in the inn. However, with his experience in the Jianghu, he certainly knew the name of the tower. However, after he left the Cloud Sky City with Wang Yan, Gu Xiaoyue, and the other disciples, he had traveled through the night to the Northern Victory State. Half a month had passed, especially after running in the wasteland at the border for two days. His mouth was already numb. Therefore, when he saw an inn in front of him, he led the group of people straight there.
After a while, Duan Henan brought Wang Yan and the others to the entrance of the 'Heroes Have Wine' shop. Duan Henan glanced at the shop that was filled with Jianghu people, then stepped into the shop. His face was full of indifference. He only said loudly, "Owner, give me a few jars of good wine and twenty pounds of beef."
As he spoke, Duan Henan had already entered the shop. He took a few steps inside. Wherever he passed, the Jianghu people in the Northern Victory State couldn't help but take a step back. Although the name 'Dripping Blood Sword' wasn't that famous in the Northern Victory State, those who were able to come here all knew about Duan Henan. Not mentioning other things, just the fact that Duan Henan had killed a Clasping Yuan Stage martial artist in the Aojian Villa last year and scared away a Hidden Dragon Rank martial artist 'Broken Blade' Lang Yanfeng, made normal Jianghu people not dare to provoke him.
However, there were always people who were not afraid of death. Seeing that Duan Henan had suppressed fifty to sixty Jianghu people from the Northern Victory State in the shop by himself, a short fatty who was mixed in the crowd shouted with a red face, "Duan Henan, don't be so arrogant. The people who will deal with you will appear soon. Back then, Aojian Hanyue didn't pay attention to the rules and sneaked into the tower. After that, he caused a ruckus in the state. Senior Wu couldn't stand it and hit him off the cliff with three palm strikes. Since you dare to come here in such a big way, don't even think about leaving this place alive today … "
Before this person could finish his words, Duan Henan showed an impatient expression and shouted, "Noisy!"
As he spoke, a sword chime rang out. Without even turning his head, Duan Henan flicked his sword-wielding hand, and a streak of cyan Sword Qi shot out diagonally, piercing through the crowd and heading straight for the shorty like a shadowless gust of wind. The sword Qi was so fast that the people in the shop couldn't react in time. The people standing in front of the short fatty felt a cold wind cutting their faces. Meanwhile, the short fatty stood still and didn't move at all.
It seemed that the short fatty couldn't escape and was about to die under the sword Qi. However, at this critical moment, there was a whooshing sound. An object the size of a fist flew in from outside the shop. It streaked across the air and collided with the sword Qi just as it was about to hit the short fatty.
Buzz …
In an instant, there was a strange sound of collision. Those who had some experience in Jianghu could tell that it was the sound of internal forces colliding with each other. Then, the object cracked in the rapid rotation. Countless pieces and juice splashed everywhere. Only then did the people see that it was a peach.
Very quickly, the flesh of the peach was completely shattered, and only the peach core remained. However, a strange scene occurred. The peach core actually froze in mid-air, and its body trembled incessantly. After two whole breaths of time, the peach core finally stopped trembling, and it swiftly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. However, Duan Henan's Sword Qi disappeared as well, as if nothing had happened.
Drip.
A drop of cold sweat dripped from the short fatty's forehead. He knew that he had just taken a trip to the gates of hell. If it wasn't for the appearance of this peach, he would have been split in half by Duan Henan's sword.
Just when most of the people in the shop were still in a daze from the strange scene, an immature and slightly hoarse voice came from outside the shop.
"Uncle, this is not the territory of Nanyue State. The people of your Aojian Villa can do whatever they want in Nanyue State, but not in my Bei Sheng State. Although the Pugilistic World is filled with bloodshed and it's very normal for swords to leave no trace, the people of the Pugilistic World from the Northern Victory Region can't be casually killed by a martial art practitioner from another region in our own territory. Don't you think so? "
Hearing this voice, everyone in the shop, including Duan Henan, turned their heads to look at the source of the voice. They saw a skinny young girl with a long braid standing seven or eight meters away from the shop. She spoke with an indifferent expression and even took out a red peach from her waist pouch and bit into it. The splashed juice filled the corners of her mouth, but she didn't care at all. She just looked at Duan Henan with a smile.
