Bang!
Lin Xuan's sword ruthlessly smashed into that guard's face. That guard's face was instantly covered in wounds as blood splattered everywhere. He let out a blood-curdling scream and fell backwards.
As for Lin Xuan, he caught the sword that had bounced back. With a flick of his wrist, the scabbard was sent flying.
With the long sword in hand, he emitted a murderous aura as he slashed at another guard. His sword was as fast as lightning and unparalleled.
Even if he was stripped of his cultivation base and turned into an ordinary person, he was still an expert in martial arts. His battle experience was incomparable to that of an ordinary person.
Lin Xuan's sudden attack came without warning. No one could react in time. By the time the guards reacted, Lin Xuan's sword had already slashed through the second guard's throat, creating a gap in the encirclement. He dashed into the alleyway as fast as lightning.
"How dare you! How dare you disregard the law! How disgraceful! Brothers, kill him without mercy! "
"Kill! Avenge Zhang Liuzi! "
"Kill him!"
The remaining eight guards were filled with righteous indignation. With spears in hand, they chased after him.
At this moment, Lin Xuan seemed to have returned to the days when he was a human target. Without elemental energy, martial arts, or martial arts, he could only rely on his mortal body and meticulous mind to survive.
He pushed his speed to the limit and quickly entered the depths of the alleyway. He flipped over the wall and entered a small house.
The owner of this house was a middle-aged scholar with a gloomy expression. He was reading in the courtyard. When he saw Lin Xuan jump over the wall, he immediately wanted to shout.
Unfortunately, before he could shout, a sharp sword had already pierced his throat. The long sword was pulled out and the scholar fell to the ground, dead. His eyes were filled with horror and he died with grievances.
Lin Xuan's gaze was calm as he casually threw the scholar's corpse into the well. Then, he loosened his long hair and changed into one of the scholar's robes. He flipped over the wall on the other side and merged into the crowd on the street.
Not long after he left, eight city guards caught up with him one after another. Following the trail, they slowly found the scholar's house, but from here, they lost track of Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan didn't dare to stay in the city for too long. He didn't know how powerful the authorities of this world were. If the authorities sealed off the city gates and searched the entire city, he would be in a very difficult situation.
He did not want to end up like those disciples of the Sword Maste, locked in a dungeon and trapped in this World of Heritage for the rest of their lives.
Sure enough, just as he walked out of the city gate, the city gate suddenly closed. Soon, the walls inside and outside the city gate were plastered with his portrait with a bounty of five hundred gold.
"Swordsmith? Damn it! Another swordsmith is here! "
"Grandpa, what's a swordsmith?"
"Swordsmiths are evil spirits. They use people's souls to forge swords. They kill innocent people and commit all kinds of crimes. If we encounter them, we must immediately inform the authorities so that they can catch them …"
"Sigh, it wasn't easy for us to have peace for a few years. Who would have thought that a swordsmith would come and cause trouble again? I wonder where these swordsmiths come from … "
Lin Xuan could not help but frown as he listened to the discussions of the crowd outside the city gate. It was obvious that the people here had a deep hatred and enmity towards swordsmiths.
He had no doubt that if he revealed his identity now, the crowd would tear him to pieces.
"Damn it! It's all the Seven Killings Sword Spirit's fault. Not only did it refuse to tell me the method to obtain the Heritage, it even exposed my identity early on. "
Lin Xuan cursed in his heart. He was extremely angry with the Seven Killings Sword Spirit.
After pondering for a while, he gradually came up with a plan. Currently, the most important thing was to preserve his life and gain a foothold in this world.
Then, he planned to enter the dungeon in the city and contact the imprisoned disciples of the Sword Maste to find out the detailed method to obtain the Heritage.
After making up his mind, Lin Xuan temporarily left the city gate and walked towards the forest in the eastern suburbs.
Since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came.
Although he also wanted to obtain the Heritage as soon as possible and leave this world, there were some things that could not be rushed. He still had to take one step at a time.
Lin Xuan came to the forest and painstakingly hunted a wild wolf to eat. Then, he searched the forest for two days and finally found a plant called the Corpse Blood Vine.
The sap of this plant had a certain degree of corrosiveness. Lin Xuan extracted some of the sap and smeared it on his face.
The corrosive sap spread across his face, causing his skin and flesh to fester and fester. The pain was self-evident.
However, this degree of pain was no pressure to Lin Xuan. It was as if the sap was smeared on someone else's face. His state of mind was not affected in the slightest.
On the morning of the third day, Lin Xuan walked out of the forest and entered the city once again.
At this moment, Lin Xuan was no longer the elegant young master from a few days ago. Instead, he was an ugly and ferocious country bumpkin with a pockmarked face. He did not have the slightest resemblance to the portrait of the swordsmith on the wanted posters.
He sold the treasured sword and the wild wolf pelt and found a doctor to treat the wounds on his face. Then, he rented a wooden hut in an inn opposite the dungeon in the city and stayed there.
Outside the World of Heritage, the Seven Kills Sword Spirit was like the eye of the heavens. It had a panoramic view of Lin Xuan's every move.
Originally, it thought that as long as it exposed Lin Xuan's identity, it would be enough to make it difficult for Lin Xuan to move around and even kill him by the city guards. After all, it was not the first time it had done such a thing. As long as it was a person that it did not like, it would usually use this method to bury them in this World of Heritage.
However, it did not expect that Lin Xuan would actually escape the pursuit of the city guards and return to the city in such a way as to harm himself.
The Sword Spirit could not help but be enraged. At the same time, it was also secretly anxious. It clearly knew that once Lin Xuan came out of the World of Heritage, what awaited it would be a tragic end.
However, its actions were already considered to be against the rules. If it continued to interfere with the progress of the Legacy, it was afraid that Lin Xuan would not even need to do anything. The backlash from the Legacy of Sword Will would be enough to turn it into ashes.
Therefore, it could only watch from the outside, hoping that Lin Xuan would be discovered, killed, or imprisoned for eternity. Only a strand of consciousness would be left, forever lost in this World of Heritage.
Fortunately, it still had many things it did not tell Lin Xuan. As long as Lin Xuan violated the rules here, it would be very easy for him to die here.
Days passed by.
The news of the appearance of a swordsmith in the city had gradually died down. However, the number of guards patrolling the streets had doubled, showing that the authorities valued swordsmiths highly.
Lin Xuan found a job at a butcher shop on the street, helping the boss slaughter pigs. He was not paid a wage, but he was given two meals a day.
While he was working, he secretly inquired about all kinds of information regarding the prison, especially the background of some of the guards inside.
He was like a hunter hibernating in the forest, searching for his prey.
Not long after, he locked onto his target.
Wang Jin was a guard in the city's prison, mainly responsible for guarding the dungeon. This was a job passed down from his ancestors, and it was also a very lucrative job.
This Wang Jin was a gambling addict. After his father's death, not only did he gamble away all of his family's savings, he also occasionally extorted money from the prisoners' family members, throwing the money he earned into gambling dens.
At the same time, Wang Jin was also very lecherous. Many of the female prisoners who came to visit were harassed by Wang Jin. There were even a few women who never came out after entering the prison. For this reason, Wang Jin was notorious and hated by everyone.
Many of the prisoners' family members wanted to sue Wang Jin, but because Wang Jin had a relative who held a high position in the army, they could not get a lawyer to sue him. This was why Wang Jin had been free and unfettered to this day.
