Chapter 285 Courier Gu Xia

New Year's Day.

The people of Yunzhou were immersed in the joy of the new festival and the rare leisure time.

However, there were also people who had no time to celebrate the festival, such as the Yunzhou guards who were resisting the invasion of the Huns and the Xuan cultivators on the front line of the blood disaster.

For example, Gu Xia was on his way.

"Gee! Gee! Gee..."

Gu Xia stepped on the stirrups with his legs, constantly driving the horse under his crotch forward.

If he dismounted and used Xuan Gong to move forward, he would be much faster than the horse.

However, warriors are good at bursting, not good at running on the road. Using Xuan Gong will consume a lot of Xuan power and be very tiring. He was not in a hurry, so he didn't need to treat himself like an animal.

By the afternoon, Gu Xia had left Xianfu City for nearly a hundred miles.

Yesterday, he submitted an application to Xingxuanmen and told Han Wenxuan that he would leave the city early this morning and start working as a courier.

...

Ten days later.

Yunzhou Zhongfu County, Jingle Town at the foot of Taoyuan Mountain.

This place was originally a village, but because the trade routes of several nearby cities intersected here, it gradually formed a small town.

Today, as usual, merchants came and went in the town.

At noon, a man in black clothes rode a black horse into the town.

He walked into an inn and threw a silver ingot of ten taels on the counter.

"Waiter, serve the best wine and meat! There are plenty of rewards!"

"Come on! Sir, please sit down!" Seeing the guest so generous, the waiter hurried forward to greet him.

Several guests who came earlier were a little unhappy when they saw that they were neglected: "Waiter, you are so greedy for money! Where are our wine and food?"

"Sirs, don't worry, it will be here soon!" The innkeeper hurried out and cut two more taels of meat and sent it over, finally calming the resentment of the people at that table.

For a long time.

The man in black clothes ate and drank enough, and took out another silver ingot of ten taels.

"Waiter, fill me two more jars of wine and cut ten pounds of meat. I'll take them with me on the road!"

"Okay."

A drunken man at the table next to him came over.

"Boy, you are rich, right? You look delicate and tender. You are a young man going out for the first time? Do you know that wealth should not be exposed? Are you not afraid of being robbed by strong men?"

The man in black frowned: "Thank you for your concern."

"You're welcome! Because I am a strong man!"

The man took out a dagger from his waist and threatened: "Young man, either lend me some money or keep it for your funeral expenses."

"I hate you vulgar guys the most!"

The man in black showed a disgusted look, patted his waist, and a rainbow light flashed past.

Plop!

The drunk's head rolled down the table, and his body fell to the ground, bleeding.

Looking again, a black-colored seven-inch small sword was suspended at the fingertips of the man in black.

The mortals around exclaimed.

"Sword Immortal!"

The drunk's companions saw this and hurriedly fled. The black-clothed man did not stop them, but sneered.

As soon as they escaped from the inn, a rainbow of light flew out and caught up with them.

"Stop!!!" A loud shout came, but it was too late.

Swish.

Several heads flew up.

The sound of hurried horse hooves came, and several people rode to the inn.

A female voice: "Demon! You actually killed innocent people again!"

The black-clothed man sneered: "They are all robbers, and they deserve to die.

Haha, next is the killing of innocent people!"

He smiled grimly, and the black flying sword drew an arc in the air and rushed to the counter.

"Sword Immortal, spare..."

The innkeeper was beheaded and died on the spot before he finished speaking.

"Ah!! Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper! Ah ah ah..."

The head just rolled in front of the waiter who had just returned from the kitchen with wine and meat, and he was immediately frightened and turned pale.

"Stop, monster!" The leading woman outside the inn was furious. She drew her sword and gathered the black energy on the blade to kill the monster.

But the man in black immediately used his soul power to capture several innocent guests and used them as human shields.

The woman had to put away her sword: "Let these people go!"

The man in black smiled triumphantly. He knew that this woman would be restrained by the hostages. He used the hostages to escape the encirclement yesterday.

He shouted: "There are dozens of unarmed innocent people in this inn. If you don't want them to die, don't act rashly!"

At this time, a middle-aged man with a heroic and slightly vicissitudes of life came on horseback.

He said: "Commander, the siege is complete, and the monster can be killed at any time."

Woman: "No, he took the inn's people as hostages, we can't attack by force."

The man glanced at him: "They are just some mortals, and it's more important to kill the monster.

And if he runs away, it will harm more people."

The woman hesitated: "The lady taught me. Human life is priceless, and it can't be compared as a number!

The monster must be eliminated, and the inn's people must also be saved!"

"Then...it's up to the commander." The middle-aged man frowned, but he was helpless.

"You all stand up and surround me. Whoever dares to escape, I will kill him!"

In the inn, the black-clothed man was unable to grab all the guests because most of his soul power was used to drive the flying sword.

So he ordered all the guests to surround him and act as his meat shield, preparing to use this to escape the siege again.

The inn was full of ordinary people, who dared not disobey the orders of this evil "Sword Immortal" at all, so they had to walk over tremblingly one by one.

All the guests were soon taken hostage, but the man in black suddenly discovered that there was still a disobedient guest.

A young man was sitting in a corner, eating with his bowl and chopsticks.

He was not affected at all, as if nothing had happened.

The man in black clothes said angrily: "Hey! Are you deaf or blind? Can't you hear me?"

The young man: "I'm not blind or deaf, I just don't want to waste this table of good food.

Who knows that the food on the plate is hard-earned, don't you understand?"

"Hard-earned? I don't understand, but you won't have to eat anymore!"

The man in black clothes was a little unhappy, and with a thought, the black flying sword turned into a rainbow light and went straight to the young man's throat.

But the young man was not in a hurry, picked up a cup of tea and drank it all, raised the chopsticks in his hand and clamped it in the air.

Swoosh! ! !

A pair of ordinary bamboo chopsticks actually firmly clamped the flying sword that was more powerful than the bed crossbow and stone cannon.

"How is this possible!"

The man in black clothes was horrified, knowing that he had offended a master and kicked the iron plate.

He wanted to take the flying sword back, but was horrified to find that the flying sword just buzzed and could not fly back.

Then, the bamboo chopsticks in the young man's hand gradually flashed with dazzling brilliance, like the stars in the sky.

Then, cracks like spider webs appeared on the black flying sword, and bright starlight shone through the cracks.

Soon the cracks spread all over the flying sword.

"No! I wasted ten years of hard work on it..."

Crack!

The flying sword broke into ninety-nine pieces, and the fragments scattered all over the ground with starlight, disappearing like fireworks.

"Puff!"

The man in black clothes whose life weapon was broken vomited blood and fainted directly.

Seeing this, several people outside the door immediately came in to capture him, pierced his scapula with a chain engraved with talismans, and put him in a prison car.

The guests hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for saving me! Thank you for saving me..."

The woman also stepped forward and said: "Thank you for your help, young man. What's your name?"

The young man did not give his name, but said: "I am not helping him. He didn't disturb me while I was eating, and I was too lazy to help him."

This person was Gu Xia who came from Beifu County.

After saying that, he walked straight out.
