CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: ARE YOU COMING AT ME TOGETHER, OR ONE BY ONE?

Inside a spacious hall.

The middle-aged man from before, [Monument Breaker] Xu Kai, looking panicked and sweating profusely, rushed in from outside without a care for anything else.

"Sect Leader Zhao, something’s happened..."

Inside the hall.

Wearing a purple long robe, with a scholarly demeanor and three long wisps of beard, the Sect Leader of the Luoxia Sword Sect, Zhao Wuji, was talking with two middle-aged men in snow-white robes, conversing happily, his words modest as if these two men’s identities were quite extraordinary.

Upon hearing Xu Kai’s words, his brows immediately furrowed, and he turned to look.

"Brother Xu, what has you so flustered?"

Xu Kai’s face turned pale, just about to speak, suddenly noticed the two beside Zhao Wuji, and said, "Sect Leader Zhao, may I speak with you privately?"

Zhao Wuji immediately showed a look of displeasure and said, "These two Brother Zhang are not outsiders, it’s okay to say it in front of them!"

The two middle-aged men immediately smiled slightly, nodding gently towards Xu Kai.

Two Brother Zhang?

Xu Kai was shocked, as if suddenly recalling something.

Snow-white robes!

Zhang Family of the Gate Valve?

"Sect Leader Zhao, that young man who obstructed us last time and caused our mission to fail has appeared again, and he’s here in your Luoxia Sword Sect."

Xu Kai quickly said.

"Oh?"

Zhao Wuji’s eyes narrowed, and he said, "Are you sure it’s him?"

"Absolutely certain!"

"Is there anyone else with him?"

Zhao Wuji inquired.

"No, this kid is alone, just by himself."

Xu Kai said through clenched teeth.

"Good, that saves us some trouble."

Zhao Wuji nodded slowly, smiling, "He disrupted our Green Forest Army’s grand plan, there’s definitely a debt to settle with him."

"Sect Leader Zhao, is this the young man who caused your mission to fail last time?"

Suddenly, the middle-aged man on the left spoke with a half-smile.

"Yes, it’s quite laughable, at the time [Divine Hand] Ouyang Tian brought over thirty Jianghu experts to join forces, yet they were all repelled by this young man, it’s truly humiliating!"

Zhao Wuji gently shook his head, "But today I’ve finally met him, I want to see if this young man really has three heads and six arms."

He suddenly looked at the two middle-aged men in snow-white robes and smiled, "I must trouble you two Brother Zhang to assist me later."

"No problem, no problem!"

The two middle-aged men in snow-white robes laughed heartily.

Zhao Wuji was satisfied in his heart and immediately led the crowd towards the outside plaza.

At this moment, the large plaza was bustling.

Almost everyone in Jianghu was drawn over by the commotion here from Jiang Shi.

After all, the internal organs of a Demon Beast are exceedingly rare.

Firstly, Demon Beasts are rare by nature, secondly, in Fengzhou Martial Arts, those capable of subduing Demon Beasts and even directly slaughtering them are exceedingly few, let alone taking out the internal organs to sell.

Therefore, these items are absolutely a rarity.

Almost everyone wanted to see what the internal organs of these Demon Beasts looked like.

"Everyone!"

Suddenly, Zhao Wuji harnessed the power in his Dantian, his voice like a bell, and shouted towards the noisy plaza. In a split second, the strong sound waves clearly imprinted into everyone’s minds.

The buzzing crowd immediately quieted down, each turning to look.

"So it’s Sect Leader Zhao!"

"Sect Leader Zhao is here!"

"Greetings to Sect Leader Zhao!"

The crowd bowed in respect.

"You’re too kind."

Zhao Wuji’s expression was calm, his hands cupped in greeting, the three long wisps of beard beneath his chin fluttering like an immortal, he said:

"Thank you all for coming from afar to attend the martial gathering hosted by my Luoxia Sword Sect. It’s not appropriate for me to disturb everyone at this time, but something has happened and I must ask for your understanding."

His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Jiang Shi at the far back.

Jiang Shi was initially bewildered, but suddenly his brows furrowed, and he recognized a few Jianghu fellows beside Zhao Wuji.

"It’s them! Those who poisoned my horse back at the roadside tavern, they’re... from the Luoxia Sword Sect?"

Jiang Shi’s eyes narrowed, immediately gripping the Wolf Fang Club beside him.

"Not long ago, several Elders of my Luoxia Sword Sect died. Many might have already heard about this. During this time, I’ve been tirelessly searching for the truth. Heaven rewards diligent effort, and just recently, I found the trace of the murderer. That’s why I have disturbed you all, I beg everyone to help me!"

Zhao Wuji continued, his voice resounding powerfully in everyone’s ears.

"What Sect Leader Zhao said, your matters are our matters!"

"Indeed, Sect Leader Zhao is righteously chivalrous, we all admire that!"

"Who is this murderer? We are willing to help together!"

"Yes, Sect Leader Zhao, please tell us the murderer’s whereabouts!"

The crowd clamored.

"It’s quite fortunate to say, the murderer is actually here in my Luoxia Sword Sect tonight!"

Zhao Wuji spoke with a cold tone, his gaze sharp. Ignoring the shock and astonishment of the crowd, he directly pointed a finger through the people towards Jiang Shi.

"It’s that youth!"

Wow!!

The entire crowd was in an uproar, all turning their heads to look.

It’s him!

No way?

But thinking about the fact that Jiang Shi even took out demon beast organs to sell, everyone instantly felt a chill in their hearts.

They originally thought he was just selling on behalf of an elder from his sect, but now it didn’t seem so simple.

"Little brother?"

Zhao Feiyan widened her eyes in disbelief.

"What a disappointment!"

Jiang Shi spoke in a bland tone, slowly packed his belongings carefully, and then stood up, holding the massive Wolf Fang Club, saying, "If I had known this was your base, no matter what, I wouldn’t have come here. But luckily, I’ve sold almost everything I needed, and bought what I wanted. What do you all want to do? Do you want to attack me together, or challenge me one by one?"

He appeared completely unperturbed.

It seemed he didn’t have any intention to explain or beg for mercy.

Two pieces of demon beast organs were exchanged for about forty Entering Strength Pills.

The other demon beast bones were exchanged for about a dozen more.

There was no need to stay any longer.

As everyone saw Jiang Shi standing up with the Wolf Fang Club, they immediately looked at each other and instinctively backed away.

Although they had just spoken bravely about finding the murderer to attack together and kill him, now that the murderer really appeared, they hesitated.

First, Jiang Shi had even killed a demon beast, which meant his strength was undoubtedly formidable. Second, their relationship with the Luoxia Sword Sect was only superficial, far from the point of risking their lives for them.

Therefore, facing Jiang Shi who stood up at the moment, not a single person spoke up for a short time.

"What? Not going to make a move?"

Jiang Shi raised an eyebrow, puzzled by everyone’s reaction.

Weren’t they just about to fight to the death a moment ago?

"If you’re not going to make a move, then I’ll be on my way."

Carrying the Wolf Fang Club, he began walking towards the door.

Zhao Wuji’s eyes darkened, and he stared intently at Jiang Shi, saying in a low voice, "Young friend, it’s better not to be so arrogant in the way you act."

Jiang Shi stopped again, turned his head, and said, "So you still want to fight?"

"You insolent brat!"

A few elders next to Zhao Wuji shouted angrily first.

"You noisy lot, if you want to fight, just fight. Don’t dawdle, I have other things to do."

Jiang Shi spoke.

"You..."

The elders were so enraged by him that they gritted their teeth, unsure of what to say.

To be honest, they were not sure about Jiang Shi’s strength.

After all, there were more than thirty masters in Jianghu that day, the weakest was at the seventh level of Entering Strength, and he still beat them thoroughly. This kind of strength was almost at the peak of Entering Strength, wasn’t it?

"Young friend, I’ll give you one more chance. Which sect do you belong to? Who is your master? Tell me, and perhaps I can spare your life!"

Zhao Wuji’s eyes were gloomy as he watched Jiang Shi.

With such strength at such a young age, not knowing Jiang Shi’s background made him somewhat uneasy.

"Me? I’m from Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave, nicknamed ’Hate Heaven for No Handle’. That’s me."

Jiang Shi replied, "Are you going to fight or not? If not, I’m really leaving."

He carried the Wolf Fang Club, turning to leave again.

Zhao Wuji squinted slightly, keeping a close watch on Jiang Shi. He had no impression whatsoever of Jiang Shi’s mention of Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave. Suddenly, he signaled to a Supreme Elder beside him.

The Supreme Elder was quite elderly, around seventy, with profound aura, already having reached the tenth level of Entering Strength, mastering the Eagle Claw Skill with immense power.

At this moment, receiving the signal, he suddenly let out a fierce shout.

"Insolent youth!"

With a swoosh, he flew out, bringing a gust of wild wind, as if transformed into a real falcon, pouncing straight at Jiang Shi.

Ten thick fingers, curved like claws, carrying a whistling airflow, fiercely grabbed towards the major acupoints of Jiang Shi’s body.

Jiang Shi sneered, his body swiftly turning back, swinging the massive Wolf Fang Club in a heavy, powerful strike, a violent wind surged, like Mount Tai pressing down!

The Supreme Elder’s eyes turned cold, instinctively one hand grabbed at the Wolf Fang Club, while the other continued to fiercely claw towards Jiang Shi’s forehead.

What is mere steel? Watch me tear it apart with my grip.

Crunch!

Boom!

With one swing, blood splattered, and the body flew backward, as if struck by a cannonball.

The body of the Supreme Elder slammed into the distant wall, embedded within, unable to be pried out.
