Among the martial artists chatting and bragging in the taverns of Linjiang City, most of them were at the bottom of the pugilistic world. There were only a few at the Blood Condensation Realm, and most of them were only at the Body Tempering Realm.
Hearing the escort complain about the three recent massacres, one of them couldn't help but tease, "Old Wang, you better be careful these days. It's best if you treat us to a few drinks. Otherwise, we'll report you to the constables of the pugilistic world, saying that you're slandering Official Chu."
Old Wang immediately glared and said, "Bullsh * t! How can you guys slander someone's innocence? When did I slander Official Chu? "
That person laughed and said, "Just now, you were the one who said that the people who massacred three sects were bastards. Don't forget that when Official Chu first took over the Jianzhou Prefecture, he also massacred the Divine Feathers Sect and the Black Cliff Hall. Also, Nawen City's Gao Clan was indirectly destroyed by Official Chu. Doesn't that mean that he massacred three sects?"
Old Wang snorted coldly and said, "Don't argue. You know which three massacres I'm talking about. Also, don't go around talking nonsense about Official Chu. Otherwise, don't blame me for falling out with you. "
Although Chu Xiu had only been in the Jianzhou Prefecture for less than a year, his influence far surpassed that of the past Inspectors.
These martial artists at the bottom of the pugilistic world were all like this. They didn't have a good impression of the major sects and aristocratic families, and they didn't have a good impression of the Guanzhong Torture Room either.
Of course, to them, as long as someone was stronger than them, they wouldn't have a good impression of that person. However, most of the martial artists at the bottom of the pugilistic world dreamed of joining the major sects or being chosen by the Guanzhong Torture Room to become constables.
In the past, the Inspectors didn't have much prestige in the Jianzhou Prefecture, so the people at the bottom of the pugilistic world mocked and ridiculed them as much as they wanted. It was fine as long as the other party wasn't in front of them.
With Chu Xiu's influence in the Jianzhou Prefecture, even though he knew that they were joking, Old Wang still felt a little nervous.
The other martial artists seemed to sense that they had gone too far with the joke and didn't continue speaking.
Someone continued, "You guys don't say. I've also heard of a piece of news. The group of people who exterminated the family are actually not human!"
"If it's not a human, what else can it be? Could it be a ghost? "Wang Laosan asked casually.
The man sneered and said, "You don't say, it might really be a ghost!
I have a friend in Wen City who has seen the tragic state of the Liu Family.
Being skinned alive, having his head pierced through, and having his stomach cut open and his organs dug out, was this something a human could do? He's practically an evil spirit, alright? "
Wang Laosan took a sip of wine and said disdainfully, "So what if it's a ghost? Could the Guanzhong torture room go to the Zhenwu Cult or the Taoist Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain to invite a Taoist priest to draw a talisman?
Furthermore, this group of people are definitely evil cultivators. The Patrol Hall has already issued a reward. Anyone who reports traces will be rewarded with ten taels of purple gold. If you can capture one of them, even if it's just an existence below the Innate Realm, there will be a reward of a thousand taels of purple gold.
Since the Patrol Hall dares to put up such a huge bounty, then they must have some clues to follow. During this period of time, brothers, pay attention and see if there are any outsiders. If you find any traces of them, there will be a bounty of ten taels of purple gold. Tsk tsk, that's purple gold! I've never seen what purple gold looks like in my entire life. "
As he spoke, Wang Laosan subconsciously looked around.
In the past, the people coming and going in Linjiang City were all merchants. After all, this was a location that connected two prefectures. Hence, there were many outsiders and it was really difficult to find them.
However, there were a lot fewer people in Linjiang City now. Some unfamiliar faces were still very obvious in the eyes of a local tyrant like Old Wang.
And at this moment, Old Wang suddenly saw a strange person shrouded in a black robe walking out of the pharmacy across the street. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
The land of Guanzhong was a mix of good and bad people. There were people from the three kingdoms, people from beyond the Great Wall, and people from the Western Regions. It wasn't strange for them to wear all kinds of strange clothes.
However, at this moment, Old Wang and the others were still discussing the evil cultivators who destroyed the three families. They wanted to pay more attention to strangers. Naturally, he also subconsciously focused his attention on the other party.
At this moment, the strange person in the black robe also noticed Old Wang's gaze. He suddenly raised his head and his eyes were actually suffused with a sinister blood red color.
The two people's gazes met. Old Wang thought of something and couldn't help but reveal a trace of fear in his eyes.
And the strange person in the black robe saw the fear in Old Wang's eyes. His scarlet eyes revealed a thick murderous intent.
"Run!"
Wang Laosan screamed and turned to flee.
At this moment, he was also secretly blaming himself for having to look at the other party. In the end, he caused such a fatal disaster.
The other warriors in the tavern hadn't reacted, but the strange person in the black robe had already made a move.
The Earth Energy around his body was like a black fog. Almost in an instant, his figure appeared in front of the tavern as if he had teleported. The black fog under his feet also condensed into the shape of a ghost claw, grabbing at Old Wang!
A cold aura came from behind. Old Wang suddenly felt his body stiffen. He could only stay where he was and wait for death.
For a low-level warrior like him, he could only be said to be a vagrant. In the eyes of those experts, there was almost no difference between him and an ant.
But at this moment, a dazzling crimson saber light suddenly fell and directly cut the ghost claw.
Dressed in black, Chu Xiu stood beside the strange person in the black robe with a crimson red sleeve saber in his hand. His powerful aura was almost condensed into a substance, making it hard for people to breathe.
In the eyes of these low-level warriors in the Jianghu, there were only two things they could see at this time: Chu Xiu, and … Chu Xiu's saber!
"Official Chu!"
The low-level warriors in the Jianghu hurriedly bowed to greet him. When they thought of how they had joked about Official Chu before, they trembled a little.
But at this time, Chu Xiu didn't care about what these low-level warriors thought. He just stared coldly at the strange person in the black robe and said, "You rats are really good at hiding. Why is it only you now? Where are the others?"
The strange person in the black robe looked at Chu Xiu with scarlet eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Jianzhou Prefecture Inspector Chu Xiu? Let me give you a piece of advice. You'd better not meddle in our affairs. We will naturally leave Guanzhong after a while. If you insist on meddling in other people's business, you can't bear the consequences! "
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Chu Xiu's mouth and he said, "The remnants of the Ghost King Sect have been chased by those righteous sects like stray dogs, and you dare to speak so ruthlessly in front of me? Do you really think that the Guanzhong Torture Room is made of mud? You don't know what you are talking about! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xiu directly slashed out with his saber. The Refined Blood Divine Shield suddenly burst out, and the dazzling saber light cut across the sky. A thick blood aura suddenly erupted!
The warrior from the Ghost King Sect was first shocked because Chu Xiu had called out his origin. Then, when he saw the Gang Qi with the thick blood aura when Chu Xiu attacked, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Refined Blood Divine Shield!"
The Blood River Sect was a major demonic sect in the past. The Refined Blood Divine Shield was so famous that others might not know about it, but demonic sects must have heard of it.
However, the warrior from the Ghost King Sect then sneered. So what if he knew the Refined Blood Divine Shield? No matter how strong the Gang Qi was, he was only at the physical invulnerability realm, while he himself had reached the realm of Three Flower at One's Prominence!
This group of people from the Ghost King Sect had stayed in the Jianzhou Prefecture for a long time and had even killed two sects. Naturally, they had heard some rumors about the Jianzhou Prefecture.
At present, the most famous person in the Jianzhou Prefecture was Chu Xiu. That was why the warrior from the Ghost King Sect could call out Chu Xiu's identity.
No matter how strong Chu Xiu was, he was only at the physical invulnerability realm. In the Jianzhou Prefecture, no one could do anything to them.
In the Guanzhong area, they only attacked the forces of Jianghu and tried their best not to provoke the Guanzhong torture room. But now that the people from the Guanzhong torture room had come to their door, they could not blame them for being ruthless!
The black Gang Qi condensed into a ghost claw, directly holding Chu Xiu's knife in it. The Refined Blood Divine Shield suddenly burst out, barely crushing the ghost claw. However, at this time, a strong corrosive evil force directly penetrated into Chu Xiu's red sleeve knife, staining the crimson blade with a layer of black!
The warrior from the Ghost King Sect laughed strangely. His figure was like a ghost, faintly discernible and formless. He actually appeared in front of Chu Xiu, black fog swirling around his body. His palm descended, bringing with it a dense ghostly aura that attacked Chu Xiu!
His arms hidden in his sleeves were like those of a zombie, showing an unnatural greyish-white color.
Moreover, his fingernails were sharp and blood-red, with a deep cold light.
Chu Xiu withdrew his knife and formed a seal. In an instant, the golden Gang Qi burst out. The Army Formula, Great Vajra Wheel Seal!
At this time, Chu Xiu was like the Buddha's Vajra of the Soul Formation Stage, suppressing demons and punching evil. The Buddha's light shone, illuminating the world!
"Buddhist Seal Technique!"
The warrior from the Ghost King Sect screamed as if he had seen a ghost. He wanted to stop, but it was too late.
Previously, when he saw Chu Xiu use the Refined Blood Divine Shield, he subconsciously thought that Chu Xiu cultivated a demonic method. Who would have thought that he would turn around and use such a Buddhist Seal Technique?
Although the warrior from the Ghost King Sect was in the Realm of Three Flower at One's Prominence, Chu Xiu's strength was not much inferior to his opponent. Coupled with the restraining effect of the Buddhist Technique, when the two palms met, the warrior from the Ghost King Sect directly screamed. As the Gang Qi exploded, all the nails on his hand broke, and the black mist dissipated. He was also blasted away.
There was a hint of coldness in Chu Xiu's eyes. The black mist on the red sleeve knife bloomed, and the power of the Three Blades of Avici burst out, directly expelling the black Gang Qi of the Ghost King Sect warrior.
With one slash, the switch from Buddha to Devil was extremely natural.
