The majority of the people in the streets around the inn were Ethereal Opening cultivators, and a small number had already succeeded in Star Condensation. In the cultivation world, they could already be considered experts, and to ordinary people, they were lofty existences. However, in the past, to Su Li, these people were nothing more than a group of ants. It was just that when faced with the swagger of these ants, they could no longer make any response. They could only lower their heads in the rain.
Su Li silently gazed at the blood that flowed from the corner of his eyebrows to his chest. His face that had been washed by the rain was somewhat pale. This was because of his injuries, or perhaps it was also related to his emotions. A feeling of desolation spread out along with the rain that fell on the ruins of the inn.
Just as Chen Changsheng had said, if he had not fought with the demons, how could he have suffered such heavy injuries? After leaving the snowy plains, he had been constantly pursued until he was finally trapped in Xunyang City? How could he have been humiliated by these people? How could he even die at the hands of these people in a little while? How could this reality not make people grieve, even to the point of desolation?
In the distance of the long street, Xue He slightly raised his eyebrows. He was extremely displeased with the words and actions of the sect master of the Star Mystery Sect. The Red Cloud Qilin that he was holding on to lowered its head, allowing the rain to drip down from its fiery-red mane, as if it could not bear to see what would happen next.
Xiao Zhang and Liang Wangsun maintained their silence. The bishop of Xunyang City, Hua Jiefu, used his eyes to signal, and a priest walked into the crowd. He arrived in front of the sect master of the Star Mystery Sect, Lin Canghai, and said a few words in a low voice.
The resentful and joyful laughter stopped. Lin Canghai looked at the people on the second floor of the inn and sneered, "If he can be killed, what does it matter if I humiliate him a few words? Truly hypocritical. "
He was the sect master of the Star Mystery Sect, and his family was a tyrant of the north. His cultivation was also high, already at the middle level of Star Condensation. As a result, he had developed an arrogant and despotic temperament. He did not fear anyone, so how could he be willing to miss the chance to humiliate Su Li?
Su Li raised his head and looked down at the inn. He pushed his rain-soaked hair to the back, his expression calm, as if he had not been affected by the flying rock in the rain or the previous insults. "Who are you?"
"Hehe … if it were in the past, perhaps your actions really would have been a form of humiliation, but now, you're not even comparable to a drowning dog. What need is there for you to put on a brave front? It's just a joke. "
Lin Canghai looked at the upper floor of the inn, sneered and said: "A few days ago on the roadside, you killed my Lin family's eldest son and dozens of my Lin family's elites, today you will pay for this life!"
Su Li glanced at Chen Changsheng.
Only now did Chen Chang Sheng know that this person was a relative of the Northern Lands' Great Hero, Lin Ping Yuan. On his way south, he had fought under Su Li's guidance and killed a few people. Only when he killed Lin Pingyuan did he feel any mental obstruction, because Lin Pingyuan was a bandit who did all sorts of evil, a thief whose hands were stained with the blood of the innocent.
He said, "I killed Lin Pingyuan."
Lin Canghai was slightly startled.
Not waiting for him to say anything, Chen Chang Sheng continued, "If you want revenge, you should come to kill me."
Lin Canghai's expression changed slightly.
Still not waiting for him to speak, Chen Chang Sheng stared into his eyes and continued, "But I know you don't dare to come and kill me, because I am the principal of the Orthodox Academy. How would you dare to touch me?"
Lin Canghai's heart trembled slightly.
Chen Chang Sheng finally said, "So if I can survive today, I will definitely think of a way to kill you."
At this moment, he was truly very angry, so he spoke very seriously.
A chill surged through Lin Canghai's body.
He had a rather high status in the cultivation world, especially in the northern continent, but how could he compare to the Orthodoxy? With Chen Chang Sheng's status and position in the Orthodoxy, if he truly wanted to deal with him, how could he and his sect withstand it? He suddenly felt very regretful. In a daze, he yelled out to his surroundings, "Just because the Orthodoxy can use its power to bully others!"
After yelling these words, he had originally thought that he would receive some support. It must be known that everyone had come to kill Su Li, so they should all be on the same side. Yet he had not expected that no one in the streets would pay any attention to him. Only now did he understand. Everyone had come to kill Su Li, but no one dared to offend the Li Palace, so naturally no one dared to offend Chen Chang Sheng.
"Why are you like a child, saying such childish things."
Su Li did not even pay attention to Lin Canghai on the street. He looked at Chen Chang Sheng and said, "For something like killing, it's better to just do it directly. There's no need to make any advance warning."
Chen Chang Sheng said nothing. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and carefully wiped away the rain and blood on Su Li's face.
"But it's also reasonable for you to be angry. For something like throwing stones, it's too childish, too vulgar, and meaningless."
Su Li allowed him to wipe away the blood and said somewhat vaguely.
On the side, Xiao Zhang said, "Correct, it really is very meaningless."
Su Li said, "Then make way."
Xiao Zhang said nothing, and without the slightest hesitation, he opened up a path.
A path that led from the ruins of the second floor of the inn to the streets.
Many people noticed this and were somewhat confused. Lin Canghai was even more so. He looked at Su Li and sneered, "You old dog that can't even crawl, what are you going to do?"
Su Li expressionlessly looked at him. The left hand holding the Yellow Paper Umbrella suddenly moved.
The thumb of his left hand pushed towards the handle of the umbrella. With a crack, the handle of the umbrella was slightly pulled out.
The handle of the umbrella was the hilt of the sword.
In the Yellow Paper Umbrella was the Heaven Shrouding Sword.
The sword was half unsheathed.
At this time, Lin Canghai was still cursing in the street with obscenities such as' dead dog '.
Suddenly, his voice came to a screeching halt.
An extremely thin sword mark had appeared on his throat, and blood slowly seeped out from it.
The people closest to him saw this scene, and their faces instantly paled. They were shocked speechless.
However, Lin Canghai did not seem to know that his throat had already been cut. He still pointed at the second floor of the inn and cursed, but there was no longer any sound to be heard. The scene was extremely strange and terrifying.
After a moment, he finally reacted.
He subconsciously touched his throat. When he pulled his hand back, he only saw a patch of bright red, and then he felt an intense pain.
His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with fear and confusion. He painfully howled, but he was unable to howl.
He turned around and wanted to escape from the inn, but as soon as he took a step back, he discovered that his two legs had already been cut off at the knees.
Lin Canghai fell heavily into a pool of blood. He clutched his throat and gurgled. His two legs had already been cut off at the knees.
Seeing this scene, the crowd scattered in fear, distancing themselves from him.
Not too long after, Lin Canghai stopped struggling and died. But after he breathed his last, he still could not close his eyes. His eyes were filled with fear and confusion. He did not understand just what had happened.
Su Li was heavily injured and on the verge of death. He was just an old dog that could not crawl, so how could he still kill him with a single strike?
There were many people who were just as shocked, terrified, and confused as Lin Canghai.
The street became deathly still once more. The crowd gazed at the ruins of the second floor of the inn, at the man in the chair, filled with reverence and unease. He really was worthy of being called the most powerful master of the sword in the last several hundred years. Even though he seemed to be on his last breath, a single strand of sword intent was still so powerful that it could kill a Star Condensation expert!
Chen Changsheng was somewhat stunned, and then he felt relieved, feeling very pleased.
Senior was right. For a matter like killing, one truly only needed to do it, without any warning.
The handle of the umbrella gradually returned, Su Li's edge gradually receding, and he once again became an ordinary middle-aged man.
He sat on the chair, gazing at Lin Canghai who had fallen dead on the street. He expressionlessly said, "Although I can't crawl anymore, killing a person like you with a single strike is still not difficult."
Liang Wangsun's expression was abnormally grave.
Xiao Zhang's eyes hidden behind the white paper grew more and more fanatical.
This strike was truly too powerful.
Worthy of being Su Li.
Su Li truly did not disappoint the sword!
"This is the sword."
Xiao Zhang looked at him, not concealing his admiration or even adoration. "This strike of yours is completely capable of heavily injuring one of us, so why did you use it on such a worthless piece of trash?"
"Because I hate this kind of fly the most. It's very annoying, so I killed it and finished it. As for you and Liang Wangsun, I don't really hate you, so why did I kill you? Of course, the most important thing is that in these several dozen days, I only saved up this one strike. "
Su Li said, "If I could save up two strikes and kill the two of you at the same time, then I would naturally save up a little."
After a moment of silence, Liang Wangsun said, "I will not accept your kindness."
Xiao Zhang said, "Admirable, admirable."
People of this level would not waste words. Two words of admiration naturally meant that they admired two things.
He admired Su Li's sword.
He admired Su Li even more for using this strike to kill Lin Canghai and not on them.
This signified that, to Su Li, pleasure would forever be more important than gratitude or enmity.
Living like this was truly very interesting.

(Today is the first day of quitting smoking. All sorts of discomfort. It will definitely affect my writing. I've been writing for twelve years. Old readers probably remember how many times I've quit smoking. Every time, I'm serious, but I always end up in failure. But I still refuse to admit defeat. I still want to win. Life is just like that. I hope I can succeed this time, because I feel that challenging myself is the greatest meaning of living. I encourage everyone and ask for your support. Also, I might have written a little crudely recently. From the day after tomorrow, I will update twice.)
