Chapter 974 Luzhou Inn (Part )

"what!"

Before they had recovered from the shock, a scream like a pig being slaughtered was heard again from upstairs, which perked up everyone's spirits and made them look up subconsciously.

"You despicable and shameless bastard, how dare you put drugs in my food and wine? I will chop you into pieces..."

Along with an incoherent curse, another disciple from the Xianwang Mansion was pushed roughly to the window.

At this moment, his neck was tightly grasped by a strong and powerful hand, and his face was swollen and red. Under the opponent's strong and rough coercion, the poor disciple of the Xianwang Mansion staggered, and half of his body was hanging outside the window. His weapon had long disappeared, and he was left with only his bare hands to tear and beat the opponent without any rules.

However, this move not only failed to help him escape, but made the other party even more excited. With his other hand, he raised a sharp scimitar that looked eerie and cold. Under the panicked gaze of Xie Xuan and others, and the desperate gaze of the disciple from the Xianwang Mansion, the other party ruthlessly raised his knife and swung it down.

"puff!"

In a flash, the head of the disciple from the Xianwang Mansion was split in half by the scimitar, and half of his head mixed with bloody and sticky red and white substances fell down with the heavy rain, soaking the people downstairs who were caught off guard and covered in blood, causing them to scream.

"Rumble, click!"

There was a loud bang, and lightning and thunder suddenly came. While illuminating the sky and the earth, it also illuminated the dark window on the third floor of Luzhou Inn as bright as day.

At the same time, a blood-stained, bloodthirsty face with hideous features appeared in everyone's eyes like a devil from hell.

That man was Xunzhen’s close bodyguard, Abaolu.

At this time, Abaolu was on top, and Xie Xuan and his group were below. When they looked at each other, Abaolu seemed to be frightened by the dense crowd of black-clothed people in the rain. However, the surprise on his face was fleeting, and was replaced by a fearless and terrifying grin.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Abaolu brought the bloody scimitar to his lips, and slowly licked the blade with his scarlet tongue. Then he waved his hand and threw the already dead disciple of the Xianwang Mansion from the third-floor window, landing heavily in front of Xie Xuan with a "bang".

"If you are not afraid of death, just come up! My scimitar has been thirsting for death for a long time, just waiting to send you to the west, haha..."

Facing Abaolu's provocation, Xie Xuan's face turned livid, and his fists clenched until they made a crackling sound. Yan Bugui and the other disciples of the Xianwang Mansion were all filled with grief and anger, staring at him with bloodshot eyes, wishing they could immediately rush up to skin Abaolu alive and tear his body into pieces.

Gan Yonglin and a group of Gan family disciples stood in the distance with lingering fear. Most of them were timid and pale, as if they were frightened by Abaolu's brutal methods.

"Although the knockout drug failed to knock them out, it's not completely ineffective." Xie Xuan stared at the two bodies lying on the ground with rage, gritting his teeth and saying, "The more intense the activity, the more difficult it is to resist the knockout drug. They are already at the end of their strength and can't hold on for much longer."

"Since Abaolu is here, Liu Xunyi and Xunzhen must be here too." At this moment, Yan Bugui was not only angry and sad about the wrongful death of his two disciples, but also felt ecstatic and excited, so he could not wait to urge, "Qingfeng Alliance Leader led the world's heroes to search for more than a year, but unexpectedly, Liu Xunyi escaped again and again. Today, Youwulin will help us punish the evildoers. Palace Master, the opportunity will not come again! Tonight is the end of Liu Xunyi, we must not fail no matter what."

"Well said!" Xie Xuan's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said righteously, "Liu Xunyi, the number one villain in the Central Plains martial arts world, the number one culprit in the murder of the palace master, and the number one traitor in the Song Dynasty, is inside now. This is a rare achievement that only comes once in a century. All disciples, follow me and charge in. Kill gods and Buddhas who stand in my way. I swear to eliminate the harm to the martial arts world and avenge the palace master!"

"Eliminate the evil for the martial arts world! Avenge the Palace Master!"

The thunder roared and the anger continued. More than a dozen Xianwangfu disciples were filled with blood and murderous intent. Led by Xie Xuan and Yan Bugui, they charged towards the Luzhou Inn.

The inn was dark, and one could hear muffled curses, chaotic and noisy footsteps, and the sound of tables and chairs being knocked over...

It seemed that Abaolu had already informed everyone of the siege, causing panic and chaos in the inn.

"Hold the lamp!"

Yan Bugui gave an order, and more than a dozen candlesticks in the inn were lit one by one. In an instant, the pitch-dark Luzhou Inn was reflected in patches of dim yellow. Although it was not bright, it was enough for people to see everything around them.

Interestingly, when the candles were lit, the noisy inn suddenly became silent.

"Liu Xunyi, you have fallen into our carefully laid net, and you can't escape tonight. If you are a hero, don't waste your time trying to find a way out, and don't hide your head and tail like a turtle. If you have the guts, then stand up and settle it with us, how about it?"

Xie Xuan was calm and experienced, and he remained calm in the face of danger. He ordered all the disciples to line up in a goose-wing pattern in the lobby on the first floor, not allowing anyone to act rashly, and then he walked forward alone, with an expression neither humble nor arrogant, and a voice as loud as a bell.

"Thank you, Master. We have been so careful along the way, but we didn't expect... to fall into your hands tonight..."

After a long silence, a sporadic voice came quietly from the darkness. Then, eight or nine men and women with dazed expressions and erratic steps stumbled down from the third floor, supporting each other.

Among them, the leader was Liu Xunyi, the person whom Xie Xuan and Yan Bugui thought about day and night.

Behind Liu Xunyi, on the left was Abaolu supporting Xunzhen, and on the right was Xiao Yang supporting Pan Yuyin. In addition, there were Su Hu, Xun Budao and two Western Region masters.

What’s strange is that Su He and Tang Afu are not among these people.

Upon seeing Liu Xunyi, the looks of Xie Xuan and Yan Bugui changed at the same time. The difference was that Yan Bugui's look was sinister and greedy. However, Xie Xuan's eyes flashed with a vague feeling of being touched and indescribable joy. "After searching everywhere for something, I finally got it without any effort. Liu Xunyi, even the leader of the martial arts world couldn't do anything to you, but tonight you were defeated by a small packet of knockout drug. Isn't this a huge irony?" At this time, Yan Bugui was concentrating on capturing Liu Xunyi, so he didn't notice the strangeness around him. "Be smart and surrender to avoid physical pain."

"Do you think you can easily succeed by using such a despicable method?" Compared to strong men like Liu Xunyi and Abaolu, Xunzhen is weak and relies on his tenacious will to hold on. "It is still unknown who will win tonight."

"you……"

“Humph! If I had known you wouldn’t give in so easily, you’re really not going to take my advice. I’m too lazy to waste time talking to you.” Before Xie Xuan could speak, the eager Yan Bugui glared at the disciples and ordered, “Except Liu Xunyi and Xunzhen, all others will be killed without mercy!”

"As ordered!"

At this moment, these young disciples who were loyal to Ling Xiaoxiao no longer cared about being false to Xie Xuan. After receiving Yan Bugui's order, they rushed forward in a swarm, intending to kill Liu Xunyi and his group like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

"Stop them." Xunzhen pushed away Abaolu's support, stared at the murderous disciples of the Xianwang Mansion with cold eyes, and said weakly, "No matter the cost, there is no need to... show mercy."

"Yes……"

Abaolu was in a trance, and his hands and feet were no longer under his control. But even so, he accepted the order without hesitation, roared like a beast, and led Xiao Yang, Su Hu, Xun Budao and other Western Region masters to fight fearlessly.

In terms of combat power, these carefully selected Western Region masters were undoubtedly better than the disciples of the Xianwang Mansion. However, because they were under the influence of the knockout drug, they could only rely on their desire to survive and their will to win to fight against the disciples of the Xianwang Mansion.

"I really can't believe that these people are such a tough bunch to deal with!"

Yan Bugui watched the stalemate of the battle with great interest, his right hand unconsciously reaching for the hilt of his sword.

Xie Xuan saw the whole scene. Before he knew it, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Catch the leader first! As long as we capture Liu Xunyi, I don't believe they will dare to resist."

"bass……"

"Wait a minute! Xie dreams of turning Liu Xunyi into ashes to comfort the soul of the mansion master. No one can snatch his life from me tonight, his life belongs to me!"

Before Yan Bugui could draw his sword, Xie Xuan's face suddenly changed, he shouted loudly, and flew out first.

"Liu Xunyi, give me your life!"

Seeing that the person coming was Xie Xuan, Liu Xunyi, who had been ready to go, was stunned. He subconsciously looked at Xunzhen, as if asking her what she meant.

Seeing this, Xunzhen frowned slightly and shook her head gently at Liu Xunyi imperceptibly, signaling him not to act rashly.

"Suffer to death!"

With a roar, Xie Xuan came flying over with his fangs and claws bared. He pointed in the air, and a strong force shot straight at Liu Xunyi's head, frightening him so much that he rolled away without caring about his dignity, and barely dodged Xie Xuan's killing move in a very embarrassing way.

At the same time, a powerful force came roaring in, and in the blink of an eye, the stairs where Liu Xunyi had just stood were shattered into pieces.

"Where are you running, traitor who killed your master?"

Seeing Liu Xunyi fleeing in panic, Xie Xuan was furious. He stepped forward, turned his horse sharply, and chased after Liu Xunyi.

"You traitor, I must kill you today!"

Xie Xuan was filled with murderous intent. While chasing after Liu Xunyi who was running away with his head in his hands, he frantically circulated his internal energy.

Ten fingers shot out at the same time, like a shower of meteor arrows, and the sharp energy was overwhelming and endless, not only making the lobby of the inn full of holes, but also shocking both sides of the battle. For a moment, everyone could no longer care about the fight, and they all looked for places to hide in fear to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Looking at Liu Xunyi again, under Xie Xuan's fierce attack, he didn't even have a chance to resist. He stumbled and dodged here and there, and fell down with his nose and face swollen and his body covered in bruises.

It is worth mentioning that even though Liu Xunyi was beaten to a pulp, he was able to dodge Xie Xuan's killer moves time and time again. After a good game of "cat and mouse", although he suffered from physical pain and pain in his muscles and bones, he did not suffer any fatal injuries.

Xie Xuan, Liu Xunyi and Xunzhen all knew the hidden story, but Yan Bugui and the other disciples of the Xianwang Mansion were so obsessed with it that they knew nothing about it.

What's more, Yu secretly marveled at Xie Xuan's madness and despised Liu Xunyi's embarrassment. At the same time, he was excited and delighted by the sure victory tonight and the triumphant return tomorrow.
