Chapter 167 Frontal Conflict
Chapter 167 Frontal Conflict
Xiang Nan had seen many desperate martial artists.
However, he had never seen anyone who had no reason, no hatred, and no hatred to fight to the death! Especially when they knew that they would die, they still rushed forward like crazy.
"Stop!" Xiang Nan pointed with his hand and shouted sternly.
The sneak attacker was originally holding the willow leaf blade and rushing towards Xiang Nan, but when he heard Xiang Nan's words, he immediately stopped in his tracks.
"Try it further! I will not show mercy!" Xiang Nan shouted.
Unexpectedly, the sneak attacker knelt on the ground with a putong sound. He actually covered his face and cried, "I don't want to die … I really don't want to die."
Xiang Nan felt that what had happened to him was simply unimaginable. He shouted, "Who exactly are you and for what purpose did you sneak attack me! Who did you hand over my storage ring to?"
Xiang Nan was worried that this person wouldn't be able to understand, so he advised, "Don't worry, I understand the rules of the road. If I lose something, it means that I'm not strong enough. Please make a price. I'm willing to redeem my storage ring, so you don't have to fight me to the death."
Thieves easily wouldn't risk their lives with others. Unless someone who had lost something came looking for them, even if they returned the stolen treasure, the owner wouldn't let it go and would still kill them in pain.
That's why Xiang Nan said that. Let the sneak attacker be free from the psychological pressure. Let me tell you, if I don't kill you, I can't afford to buy the storage ring back.
Xiang Nan had already done his utmost to be benevolent!
However, the sneak attacker did not relax in the slightest. Instead, he cried and shouted, "I don't want to die." Suddenly, he collided with Xiang Nan.
The lancet in the sneak attacker's hand stared blankly at Xiang Nan's throat. He still intended to kill Xiang Nan.
"Damn it!" Xiang Nan kicked the sneak attacker to the ground with a heartless kick. Then, he grabbed the man's throat and twisted it hard. Finally, the sneak attacker died as well.
"Who the hell is playing with me? Get out of here!" Xiang Nan was furious and smashed his fist on the ground, causing the entire building to jump.
Blade enemies were naturally incomparably carefree, but the people Xiang Nan had killed were all without grievances or enmity, and they had never even met before.
Xiang Nan angrily roared twice, but no one came out to pay attention to him.
He could only fumble through the clothes of the five people and find five eagle eyes.
Opening the Eagle Eyes again, the five Eagle Eyes were completely empty. They had clearly heard their Eagle Eyes earlier, but now, there was nothing left, and they were temporarily erased.
With a heavy and angry heart, Xiang Nan left the building and prepared to return to the Hongyun Pavilion Auction House first.
He felt aggrieved and powerless. If the enemy were to openly fight him, it would be better. However, he did not even know who the enemy was.
Xiang Nan did not randomly kill people. He had always paid attention to the details and observed the connections between these people.
It turned out that those people had almost nothing in common. The martial techniques they used were all different, and they did not speak like acquaintances. It was as if they were a group of people they did not know each other. They suddenly rushed out to kill themselves.
The night in Baishou City was very lively. Countless men and women were enjoying their youth and enjoying the refreshing feeling this city brought them.
When Xiang Nan returned to the street where the Hongyun Pavilion Auction House was located, he felt a sense of hostility and locked himself in.
Xiang Nan's footsteps slowed down as he raised his head and looked in the direction of the hostility.
His gaze pierced through the dense crowd and finally landed in the distance on a man wearing a light yellow robe with a knife in his arms.
The man lowered his head, his pale yellow hood hanging down, and the shadows shrouded his face, making it impossible to see clearly.
Xiang Nan relied on the keen sense of smell of a martial artist to feel that the person holding the saber was no ordinary martial artist.
When Xiang Nan was observing him, the yellow-robed man also raised his head. His sharp eyes penetrated through the shadows and connected with Xiang Nan's gaze.
"Master, come in and play." Three naked women rushed up from both sides, hugging Xiang Nan and rubbing against Xiang Nan's body.
At this moment, Huang Yiren, who was standing far away, suddenly stepped on the ground.
Under this foot, waves of air surged over, blowing the people all over the street to the east and the west.
"What a disappointment." The brothel girls curled their lips and walked away carelessly like the pedestrians. In less than a minute, the entire street was dancing.
These people from Hundred Beast City had truly seen the world. If they were in other cities, as long as there were martial artists about to fight, then the civilians would definitely flee in a panic. However, the people from Hundred Beast City seemed to be used to seeing this scene and just casually left.
The yellow-robed man waved his body and drew a large arc that floated five meters in front of Xiang Nan.
"Are you also those people?" Xiang Nan stared at the yellow-robed man and said in a deep voice.
The yellow-robed man lifted his hood. He had a face that was eighteen or nineteen years old, and there was a scar on his chin. He was at the second level of the Origin Return Realm.
Then, the yellow-robed man said something meaningful.
"Hand over the three fingers of your right hand. Even if this matter is over, it will be good for you and me."
Xiang Nan laughed furiously and said, "Is it good for you? What good is it for me? Who exactly are you? Why did you become that cowardly turtle and not dare to openly start a war with me?"
The yellow-robed man held onto his saber and said, "There are some things that you'd better not inquire about. Judging from your strength, you should be quite strong. I only want to tell you that someone is eyeing you."
"If you do as I say, then both of us will be happy. Otherwise, it will not be good for you or me."
"Listen to you" Xiang Nan frowned. "It seems like you can't help it?"
"Looks like I can't persuade you." The yellow-robed man shook his head. With his right thumb, he pushed a snowy saber out of its sheath, revealing a cold light.
The yellow-robed man used an ordinary-sized saber. The entire blade was less than a meter long, very light and fast! He should be using a speed-type saber technique.
"How about this?" Xiang Nan hugged his shoulders and said, "Go back and tell the people behind the scenes that if they give me my storage ring, I will not continue to participate in this matter."
"Otherwise, as long as you dare to pull out your saber now, then let's just fight to the end! If I don't find the mastermind behind the scenes, I will never stop."
"Consider carefully for yourselves. Is it worth provoking me?"
"Your tone is quite loud, but you have no idea who you are fighting against. No matter who you are, no matter what background you have, no matter how powerful you are, you cannot afford to offend those people behind me." The yellow-robed man pulled out his saber and didn't care about Xiang Nan's threat at all.
"Before you die, I can tell you that you are indeed innocent. At first, those people didn't plan to do anything to you. They just wanted to take away your storage ring."
"But you're not willing to let it go. You insist on investigating. Now that you're getting deeper and deeper, there's no way to retreat."
After saying that, the yellow-robed man rose from the ground and shouted, "Clear Wind Slash!"
The saber in his hand was swung hundreds of times in an instant!
More than a hundred two fingers wide and more than half a meter long saber lights shot down towards Xiang Nan like a violent storm.
