Half a day later, the two of them bought a small boat and some daily necessities from a fisherman. The small boat passed through the ten mile wide lake and entered the Wu River, slowly heading east.
In order to help a certain fatty lose weight, the task of rowing the boat naturally belonged to the fatty.
Lin Xuan sat at the bow of the boat, one hand holding a fishing rod, the other holding a wine jug, occasionally spitting at the white clouds in the sky, looking quite relaxed.
But the two of them had only traveled less than ten miles on the Wu River when the fatty suddenly pointed at the riverbank and said: "Brother Xuan, look! It's the Ye family's dog! "
"Hm?"
Lin Xuan put down the wine jug and looked up, only to see a black clothed man with a blade chasing after a blue robed youth on the riverbank.
From the black clothed man's clothing and weapon, it was exactly the same as the Marquis household's Blade Guard that he killed. It was definitely Ye Longyi's men.
"The Ye family is actually so arrogant."
Lin Xuan stood up and looked up at the chase on the riverbank.
Gradually, he became more and more surprised.
The Ye family's black clothed man was a martial artist who had completed the rebirth of his body at the third level of the Spirit Body realm. He had the strength of three tigers, no matter if it was speed or strength, it was not something a normal person could contend against.
As for the blue robed youth, he was about thirteen or fourteen years old. He was very handsome, but he was clearly a normal person.
But this normal youth, with a long sword in his hand, was able to fight evenly with the black clothed man for a short period of time.
Of course, he did not rely on strength, but abnormally exquisite sword techniques and ghost-like movements, all of which belonged to the category of Jianghu moves.
"To be able to fight against a martial artist with the body of a mortal, a genius! This must be the so-called Jianghu expert! "
Lin Xuan could not help but exclaim in surprise.
Every time the blue robed youth attacked, he would be able to block the black clothed man's attack, attacking the black clothed man's vital points. Not only did it make it difficult for the black clothed man to succeed, but he also had to be careful of his vital points, causing the black clothed man's face to turn red and his mood to become irritable.
This was like a fierce tiger fighting against a swift and venomous snake. It was not that he did not have enough strength, but that he could not move freely.
However, the situation was not optimistic for the blue-robed youth. Although he was not at a disadvantage for the time being, this kind of fighting method consumed too much energy and would not last long.
The blue-robed youth also seemed to understand his own situation. While he was dealing with the black-robed man, he was also observing the surrounding environment. It was obvious that he didn't want to continue fighting.
"Little bastard! You can't escape! Just surrender and I'll give you a quick death! "
The black-robed man said viciously as he swung his saber with all his might. Saber Qi bloomed as though it was going to cut the space in half.
However, this blade was also dodged by the young man. Instead, the young man casually stabbed his sword towards his wrist, causing him to have no choice but to retreat. He was very sullen.
"Humph, you heartless executioners! I, Shen Jianchuan, will not submit to you even if I die! If I don't die today, in the future, I will definitely flatten the Marquis Gao Gong Mansion and turn all of you into ashes, to avenge my father, mother and sister! "
The blue-robed youth's hatred could devour the heavens. The sword in his hand became even sharper, causing sword flowers to explode in the air. It looked beautiful but contained killing intent.
However, because of this, he consumed even more energy. His handsome face gradually became pale and bloodless. He was panting and sweating profusely. He was already exhausted.
"Fatty, sail the boat over. We'll find a chance to attack and save that kid!" Lin Xuan said in a low voice.
Fatty was stunned and said worriedly, "Brother Xuan, are you confident that you can defeat that killer?"
"I'm not confident!" Lin Xuan shook his head.
Previously, when he killed the black-robed man, he completely relied on a sneak attack to win. If they were to fight face to face, he was afraid that he would not have the slightest chance. Moreover, this black-robed man was obviously stronger.
"Ah? If you're not confident and still want to go, isn't that courting death? Moreover, that blue-robed kid is not related to us. Why should we risk our lives for him! "Fatty muttered with a grin.
Lin Xuan's gaze was deep as he muttered, "It's not courting death. As long as I join forces with that young man, there should be more than a seventy percent chance of defeating the black-robed man.
As for why we're saving that blue-robed kid.
Fatty, there's an old saying that two fists cannot defeat four hands. A fierce tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves.
In the future, when we brothers roam the pugilistic world, we won't be able to rely on ourselves. We need helpers, a large number of helpers.
And this kid has a common enemy with us. His talent and temperament are not bad. He's qualified to be our helper! "
To put it bluntly, Lin Xuan's heart was filled with love for talent.
He had a clear plan for his martial arts life, and useful talents were an indispensable part of it.
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Fatty's face hardened. He nodded heavily and said, "Brother Xuan, my brain isn't as good as yours. I'll listen to you! But this time, I want to fight side by side with you. I believe that with me, there should be no suspense in winning! "
"Huh?"
Lin Xuan looked at Fatty speechlessly. Where did this damn fatty get his confidence from? You'll only draw a knife's aggro if you go up. What's the use?
"You should stay and look after the boat. If we can't beat them, we can still jump into the river to save our lives. Then, you can come and help us!" Lin Xuan said.
Fatty frowned and thought for a while. He could only agree, "Alright. Brother Xuan, be careful. If we can't beat them, we'll retreat!"
The boat was getting closer and closer to the shore. Lin Xuan's face was as calm as water, but his eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness.
Although he had already decided to go up and save them, he still needed to think about how to do it. Otherwise, not only would he fail to save them, but he would also lose his own life. That would be a laughing stock.
Sigh, if strength is not enough, I can only rely on intelligence to make up for it. Lin Xuan sighed helplessly in his heart.
On the shore, the battle between the black-robed man and the youth Shen Jianchuan was gradually coming to an end.
The black-robed man's mouth held a trace of mockery. His movements were becoming more and more relaxed. He maintained an unhurried attack frequency, as if he was determined to exhaust his opponent to death.
Shen Jianchuan was already panting like a cow. His robe was drenched in sweat, and his steps were staggered. He was already an arrow at the end of its flight.
His pale and handsome face was full of hatred and unwillingness. But this was of no help to the situation.
He had thought of looking for an opportunity to escape, but when he saw the enemy's mocking expression like a cat playing with a mouse, he knew that his thoughts had long been seen through by the enemy. If he rashly ran away and left his back to the enemy, he was afraid that he would die even faster.
Gradually, Shen Jianchuan's heart gave birth to traces of helplessness and despair. Could it be that the heavens want my Shen family to die! I can't accept this!
"This big brother of the Hou fu, do you need help?"
Suddenly, a clear voice came from the river not far away, attracting the attention of the two people.
Whether it was the black-robed man or Shen Jianchuan, they both raised their vigilance. They unconsciously separated a little, each conserving their strength.
The black-robed man looked at Lin Xuan from the corner of his eye. He asked in a low voice, "Little brother, we don't know each other, right? Who are you? What relationship do you have with the Hou fu? "
Lin Xuan strolled to a dozen meters away. He said in a clear voice, "Little brother's name is Wang Long. As for the relationship with the Highbow Hou fu, little brother and the ninth young master of the Hou fu hit it off at first sight in Tian Que City a month ago. The ninth young master gave this treasured saber to me and invited me to serve under him.
