When Fang Xian and Bao Qian arrived at Scattered Flower House, the sky was dark and there were already two red lanterns hanging in front of the quaint pavilion.
As they got closer, they could almost hear the sound of decadent music.
By the time the turtle slave entered the door with a face full of smiles, Fang Xian could smell the fragrance of cosmetics assaulting her nostrils.
"How was the Courtesan Belle selection today?"
Bao Qian tipped a piece of silver and asked casually.
"The two masters came at the right time, Lady Yanran and Lady Qiu Ping were about to compete together …" The turtle slave received the tip and immediately replied with a smile.
"Let's go sit over there."
Bao Qian nodded and pulled Fang Xian to sit in a corner, waiting for a good show to start.
Fang Xian directly treated this place as a restaurant and ordered a few hot and cold dishes with all kinds of snacks. He found that the taste was unexpectedly good and immediately satisfied his appetite as if there was no one else around.
After an unknown period of time, he suddenly heard the sound of a zither.
The sound of the zither was like clear spring water, falling slowly. Even a rough person like Fang Xian felt that it was good, it was obvious that the zither master had put in a lot of effort.
He raised his head slightly and saw a young girl wearing a light yellow palace dress on the left side of the stage, her fingers plucking the strings of the zither. Beside her were two maids holding an incense burner and a circular fan.
"The moon falls on the willow tree, people meet behind the old bridge … I don't know that the moon is still bright, the beauty can't be found …"
Just as the guests were moved, a red robe appeared on the right side of the stage and sang and danced, it was indescribably in tune with the zither.
"Good!"
At the side, Bao Qian was already praising, "To be able to listen to this song today, it's not a wasted trip."
At this time, a sign was raised. Only then did Fang Xian know that on the left was Qiu Ping and on the right was Yanran. He did not know the relationship between these two girls, they were clearly competing for the title of Courtesan Belle, but they cooperated so well.
After the song ended, the crowd cheered loudly.
Not only that, there were even rich guests who directly threw golden flowers.
"This is the Courtesan Belle selection, the one who gets the most golden flowers wins …"
Bao Qian explained to Fang Xian. He took out the Jade money and bought a few golden flowers to throw. However, both sides were evenly matched.
Fang Xian looked at the intricately crafted golden flowers. Each flower would probably cost at least a few taels of gold. He couldn't help but be speechless.
"Master Lu of Heavenly Knife Star congratulates Miss Yanran!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.
Soon after, hundreds of golden flowers descended from the sky like a rain of gold coins, landing on the high platform on the right side.
"This Lu brat …" Bao Qian shook his head gloomily, speechless.
There was nothing he could do even if he met a tycoon.
Fang Xian looked up and saw a figure in a white robe suddenly appear above the pavilion. There was a scimitar in a golden scabbard hanging from his waist. He looked very elegant.
"Thank you Young Master Lu!"
Miss Yanran's face was red as she bowed.
If there were no accidents, she would be the Top Beauty of the night, and Lu Yong would be her first guest.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
"What a beautiful girl. Come drink with me."
One of the customers seemed to have drunk too much and directly rushed to the high platform.
"Dear customer …"
Below the platform, of course, there were thugs from Flower Scattering House. But this customer seemed to also know martial arts. With a light touch of his shoulder, a few of the thugs were sent flying.
"Hehe … Miss Yanran! Tonight, you're mine. "
The customer reeked of alcohol and was about to pounce on Yanran.
"Hmph! You're courting death! "
Bao Qian secretly shook his head.
Not to mention that Flower Scattering House must also have martial arts masters. Even if Heavenly Knife Star was here, how could he tolerate someone offending him?
"Eh?"
A strange look flashed in Fang Xian's eyes. He immediately shook his head. "I said, I won't do anything."
"Hmm?"
Bao Qian's expression changed. Just as he was about to say something, he saw anger flash across Lu Yong's face. He flew down. "Where did this thief come from? Get lost!"
He kicked out in mid-air, his posture elegant and graceful. He was indeed a young hero.
But in an instant, the customer's expression changed.
There was no expression on his face. He was unusually cold.
It was as if his life or the lives of others were nothing in his eyes.
Crack, crack!
The terrifying sound of bones exploding came from his body, from his legs to his abdomen and waist, and then from his abdomen and waist to his fists.
Roar!
His hands turned into tiger claws and directly grabbed Lu Yong's leg in mid-air.
"You're courting death!"
Lu Yong, who was in mid-air, had no time to change his move. But a gust of Innate Qi had already spread to his right leg. It was strong enough to crack a stone.
He could see that this customer had not cultivated Innate Qi and was only an Acquired Martial Artist.
Bam!
But in the next moment, Lu Yong fell to the ground. A pained expression appeared on his face. "You … who are you?"
"In the pugilistic world, I take your life!"
The customer answered coldly. Suddenly, his body was covered in blood.
An even more ferocious and terrifying aura emerged.
"Hehe!"
He let out a beast-like roar and suddenly pounced forward. In an instant, he punched seven times. Bang!
Bang! Bang!
The air exploded. It seemed that each of his punches was like a deadly arrow shot from a strong bow!
Each of these seven punches was comparable to a full blow from an ordinary Innate Martial Artist.
And it was faster! More vicious! More ruthless!
Bang!
Lu Yong only had time to raise his scabbard to block three punches. The remaining four punches landed directly on his body.
Fang Xian could clearly see that on the back of Lu Yong's white robe, there were suddenly four fist prints, blood-colored fist prints!
The two of them were motionless. After an unknown period of time, a sharp female voice broke the silence. "Kill … Kill!"
"We can't stay here for long. Let's go."
Fang Xian threw a jade coin and pulled Bao Qian out of the Scattered Flower House. The surge of emotions in his heart was indescribable.
Not only did he see a Acquired Martial Artist kill a Innate Martial Artist, but he also saw the martial arts that the other party used!
"That fist technique, seven punches in an instant, with the sound of tiger and leopard thunder … It's definitely not ordinary … It gives me a feeling that it matches the White Tiger Painting … No! Or rather, this White Tiger Painting might be the general outline of the other party's martial arts! "
He looked at the distance and finally said, "Brother Bao, do you know that assassin?"
Bao Qian's expression was a little wooden. "In the pugilistic world, they pick stars and take lives … Of course it's the number one assassin organization in the pugilistic world, Zhai Xing Lou! It's a pity for Lu Yong. If he had not been caught off guard and lost the upper hand, he would not have … "
A rising star of the pugilistic world had died so dramatically in front of him. Bao Qian had a strong feeling that it was unreal.
"I feel that even if he was on guard, as long as there were a few more of these assassins, he would definitely die … In a life and death battle, it doesn't necessarily depend on one's realm … Of course, a Acquired Martial Artist being able to kill a Innate Martial Artist is really shocking. Brother Bao, do you recognize that martial art?"
Fang Xian seemed to have inadvertently asked the question he was most concerned about.
"That is the 'Seven Kill Fist'. It should be a remnant of a certain Innate Martial Art …" Bao Qian shook his head. "A Acquired Martial Art forcefully practising a Innate Martial Art will definitely destroy his body. He only has the power for one attack, which is very compatible with the path of an assassin … The most frightening thing about Zhai Xing Lou is that its Acquired Martial Arts are all explosive. Even a Innate Martial Artist might die if they are not careful!"
