Li Mengzhou gasped slightly, and it looked a little thick, like the roar of a wild beast.

The rain poured down, rinsing the blood on the cat's mask, and the smell of blood spread out along with the wind and rain.

Gu Shiyan looked at Zhu Zaitian's body silently. Although she had killed many people, the bloody scene still made her feel a little uncomfortable. But she immediately flew out of the courtyard and headed straight towards the hidden aura in the alley.

The figure hiding in the alley outside the courtyard gate had a hint of teasing in his eyes, and there was also some inexplicable horror, because under his wandering mind, the scene of Zhu Zaitian being chopped in half by a knife was very visually impactful.

Especially the young man wearing a cat-faced mask was the one who committed the murderer, which made him feel a little incredible. Just in this moment of swaying, he did not hide his breath as he had in time as before. When he found Gu Shiyan's figure appeared in his sight, he ran away in panic.

Gu Shiyan stood at the entrance of the alley. Although she was surprised, the peeper's escape was also amazing. There was a long distance between the two. It was only a matter of a moment to find Gu Shiyan and then escape from each other.

Li Mengzhou also chased to the alley with Park Knife. Looking at the figure that disappeared from his sight, his brows frowned deeply.

Although he only saw it from afar and soon the figure disappeared, he had a very familiar feeling for no reason.

There is no doubt that he should be the person he knows.

Who is it?

Who else can besides Zhu Zaitian?

Li Mengzhou thought about it and anyone who was questionable passed it through his mind, but he never found anyone who was suspicious could be higher than Zhu Zaitian.

"Now someone has witnessed everything in the alley. If we can't find that person, then we are not causing trouble for Xu Hexian, but trying to find a way to avoid the trouble."

Zhu Zaitian was killed because he suspected that he might be the person peeping outside Chaosi Lane, and it was also considered to cause some trouble for Xu Hexian. However, it has been completely proved that Li Mengzhou was looking for the wrong person, and he no longer caused trouble for Xu Hexian. Soon it was Xu Hexian who came to trouble them.

Li Mengzhou breathed out the turbid air and said calmly: "Although I can't determine the identity of the person who was peeping, the back is very familiar. I probably have a little guess in my mind. I just need to determine the other party's identity as soon as possible and kill him before he spread the incident in the alley."

Because he suspected Zhu Zaitian, he brought up a knife to kill Zhu Zaitian.

And now, there are new doubters. Although the situation may be a little troublesome, he is obviously prepared to do things well.

There was a dead silence in the alleyway.

The bloody smell accompanied by the wind and rain did not spread too far, and there were signs of being gradually washed by the rain.

It is indeed easy to do something in rainy weather, because any missing traces will be washed away by the rain.

In the quiet capital, late at night, occasionally a flash of lightning flashed across the night, and the sound of raindrops falling was connected. Although it was noisy, it was quiet.

......

Apart from the capital, outside a mountain inn, on the dark night and wet roads, a figure wearing a hat gradually became clear.

This Shanye Inn is naturally not full of guests. There are only a few guests sitting in the lobby. In the corner, there are two figures who look cautious and panicked, one adult and a child.

The closed inn gate was pushed open.

The cool breeze wrapped in raindrops blew in, and soon the area behind the door was wet with rain.

The guests in the lobby subconsciously turned their eyes to the man wearing a hat at the door.

A waiter came forward and soon led the man in the hat to sit in the middle.

The man in the hat was wearing a blue shirt. When he took off the hat, he looked like a white-faced scholar. He was holding a sword in his hand, which was Ouyang Shengxue coming to the capital from Liang County, Nanjun toward the capital.

He silently poured himself a cup of tea, waiting for the food to be served, and also casually looked at the guests next to him.

Two men, who looked about thirties, sat opposite each other.

An old man was drinking alone.

There was also a couple who seemed to be mother and son in the corner, who surrounded themselves very tightly, as if they were quite shameful.

But their outfits are different from ordinary people, but they seem to be from wealthy families.

It is worth mentioning that the two men sitting opposite each other were blocking the mother and son sitting in the corner, giving people the feeling of protecting them.

Moreover, Ouyang Shengxue could also sense some extraordinary aura from those two people. Even if she was not a practitioner, she should be a master among martial artists in the martial arts world.

On both sides of the tabletop in front of them, a long sword was placed horizontally, and the right palm was placed in the position where the knife was most easily drawn.

The stories that happen in the secular world are as wonderful as the world of cultivation, and are even more complicated, and involve many things. The so-called children of the world have no stories to sing?

Ouyang Shengxue silently observed these guests, feeling a vague premonition in her heart that something interesting would inevitably happen in this inn.

The old man drinking alone seemed to be just an ordinary person, but his divine eyes were not something that ordinary old man could possess.

The two men and the old man were also looking at Ouyang Shengxue faintly.

Holding a sword in your hand means that you are also a person in the world, and you may even be a person who practices. They cannot ignore it at all.

The two men were a little nervous and subconsciously looked at the mother and son sitting in the corner.

The old man who was drinking alone had no reaction. He just coughed lightly, his eyes were a little confused, and he reached out to call the waiter and said, "Old man, I can't bear to drink, so I'll bother to help me back to my room."

The waiter naturally agreed and went forward to help the old man.

Although the two men lowered their heads, their bodies were obviously stiff for a moment, and the old man left his seat and returned to his room, and happened to be passing by the two men.

They also secretly watched the old man staggeringly, and touched the hilt of the knife with his right hand invisibly.

The waiter supported the old man and secretly struggled. He thought that he was just an ordinary old man, why was he so heavy?

He looked at the old man beside him, very confused.

Because the old man looked very thin, but his weight was quite heavy, this was really strange.

At some point, he suddenly felt lightening his hands, and subconsciously grabbed it, and lost the arm of the old man who was supporting him.

With a clang, it suddenly exploded in the quiet inn. The two men who were always on guard felt a terrifying aura coming, and they instantly wet their backs. They reacted quickly and pulled out the long sword placed horizontally on the table and slashed directly forward.

However, they soon discovered that there was no trace of the old man in front of them.

They felt awe-inspiring, and hurriedly turned around and looked at the mother and son in the corner, shouting in surprise: "Danger!"

"What are you shouting?"

The old man who had obviously disappeared appeared behind the two men, as if a sound in his ears made the two men who had just turned around stiffen.

They turned their necks with difficulty, looked at each other, and felt cruel. While shouting to the mother and son, "Run quickly!", they turned around suddenly and threw the long knife in their hands out.

However, their actions were stopped halfway.

The two long swords were tightly locked between the old man's fingers, and he sniffed out a sip of alcohol and chuckled: "You are so weak. I really have no interest in playing with you. You should also be very clear about how many people you died during the protection of the mother and son, but you two are the only ones left. It's just that you are lucky. Now, your luck has been used up."

He used his hands slightly, and then he heard a clatter. Two long swords broke in response to the sound. The broken blade penetrated directly through the throats of the two men with a rapid force. Blood sprayed out, covering the old man's hands.

The two men slowly fell to the ground with unwillingness, gradually disappearing.

The waiter, who was standing in the spot stupidly, came to his senses at this moment and couldn't help but scream. The old man frowned slightly, swayed his feet, and the broken blade with the hilt on the floor flew up directly, instantly rushing towards the waiter who was screaming in surprise.

The broken blade from the middle was extremely sharp, wrapped with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and blinked in.

And at the moment when the waiter was about to die.

The broken blade that rushed into the air suddenly stopped two inches away from Xiao Er's eyes.

It was a stagnation without warning and failed to move forward any further.

The sweat on the waiter's forehead dripped as fine as pearls, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his feet were trembling, and his face was pale and bloodless.

The broken blade of the long sword was just a short distance from Xiaoer, as if one foot had stepped through the gate of hell.

The inn fell into a dead silence.

Only the sound of rain falling from the outside world was left, but in the hearts of these people in the inn, there was a dead silence that could be heard.

The old man's eyes passed by the waiter and looked at the man in blue shirt sitting next to him.

Ouyang Shengxue also looked at the old man, but his left hand was facing the waiter. To be precise, his palm was facing the broken blade that was stagnant in the air.

When they looked at each other, a trace of sinister appeared in the old man's eyes.

He slapped his clothes leisurely, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "When you first entered this inn, I thought it might be a change, but in fact what happened here has nothing to do with you. I thought you would be very smart about how to choose, but it seems that you have made a choice."

The old man instantly killed the two men, and the methods he showed also meant to warn Ouyang Shengxue.

Because when he thought, even if the other party wanted to meddle in other people's business, he had to consider whether he had the ability.

But Ouyang Shengxue's actions also expressed two meanings.

First, he was not scared by the old man's methods, but just wanted to take action with justice.

Second, even though he understood the old man's strength, he was still full of confidence.

No matter which one it was, Ouyang Shengxue undoubtedly expressed disdain for the old man.

That's a kind of self-confidence.

It is also a kind of pride.

Pride from the sword cultivator.
