Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 2 Qi Practitioner

As night fell, the people of Lin'an City returned home early and locked their doors and windows.

The county town has been in unrest recently, with demons and ghosts coming out to cause trouble every night. The government office has also posted notices to remind citizens not to walk around at night.

However, at this time, there were still many people walking on the main streets of Lin'an City. However, judging from the temperament of these people, they were not ordinary people, but people who came from all over the place to slay demons and eliminate ghosts.

Even the inns in Lin'an City have been overcrowded recently.

Tianfeng Tower is a relatively large inn in Lin'an City. Li Fan came leading a white horse. Immediately, a servant came forward to take the horse away and led Li Fan into the inn.

The lobby on the first floor was very lively, with knights from all over drinking and chatting.

Li Fan felt a little hungry, so he sat down in an empty seat in the corner and ordered a pot of wine and a few side dishes.

Peanuts, braised beef in soy sauce, scallion pancakes...it's a pity there was no barbecue.

The wine and food were served. Li Fan drank the wine and ate the food. Compared with catching monsters, this kind of life was obviously more comfortable for him.

If it weren't for Senior Sister driving him down the mountain...

Li Fan sighed when he thought of this. The scenery in the mountains was beautiful and his senior sister was also extremely beautiful. He could chat with his senior and junior sisters on weekdays. This kind of lying-down life was what Li Fan longed for.

As for slaying demons and eliminating evil...it's so dangerous.

When Li Fan was drinking, the lobby of the inn was bustling with noise. Many wanderers were playing drinking games and talking about catching monsters.

After three rounds of drinks, the inn became more and more lively.

At this time, two figures walked into the inn, one man and one woman. The woman was wearing a long green dress, and was young and beautiful, with skin as white as snow. The scabbard of the long sword tied around her waist was shining with the light of gems.

The man was wearing a long robe, a crown on his head, and carrying a sharp sword on his back. He had an extraordinary temperament and both of them looked like they were from a prominent family.

The two looked around and found that the restaurant was full.

The woman's eyes fell on Li Fan. Seeing that Li Fan was the only one there, she walked over there and said to Li Fan, "Can I sit here?"

The man next to her followed her and frowned when he saw her looking at Li Fan and saw Li Fan's face clearly.

Taking out a silver ingot from his pocket and placing it on the table, the man said to Li Fan, "Sir, can you please change places?"

"Brother." The woman called out in a blaming tone, then gave Li Fan an apologetic smile and said to him, "Brother, I don't mean anything else, it's just that this place is full, can we sit here? It's our treat."

As she spoke, she looked at Li Fan, her beautiful and lively eyes gleaming with a strange light.

This boy is so handsome.

"???" Liu Xu looked at the junior sister beside him. When did his junior sister become so reasonable? ?

Li Fan glanced at the silver on the table.

"Okay." Reaching out his hand, he took the silver and hid it in his arms, then Li Fan continued to eat with his head down.

The girl at the foot of the mountain is as beautiful and kind-hearted as the junior sister on the mountain.

"Thank you." The woman nodded to Li Fan, then sat down opposite Li Fan, keeping her eyes on Li Fan. Liu Xu beside him suddenly looked unhappy, but he didn't dare to get angry, so he had to sit between the two of them.

"My name is Huang Yan, and this is my senior brother Liu Xu. We are disciples of Shangxuan Sect. What about you?" the woman said to Li Fan.

"Li Fan." Li Fan responded.

"Qigong practitioner." The people around him exclaimed in surprise.

Shangxuan Sect is the Qi training sect in Lin'an County. Those who can enter Shangxuan Sect are those who have the talent for Qi training.

Qigong practitioners are able to directly sense and absorb the spiritual energy of all things to practice, which requires very high talent. In the Dali Dynasty, Qigong practitioners have a transcendent status, and in Lin'an County, Qigong practitioners are extremely rare.

Although both are practitioners, the status of those who practice martial arts is not as high as that of those who practice qigong.

Most of the people in the inn are martial artists.

"Are you two here to Lin'an City to eliminate demons?" At this time, a burly man bowed to Huang Yan and Liu Xu and asked.

Liu Xu glanced at the other party and nodded slightly: "We are here to kill the demon on the orders of our master."

"It's just as I guessed. I'm Han Dang, a warrior. There are demons and ghosts everywhere in Lin'an City. I heard that the Chen family is holding a demon-slaying meeting, so I came here specially. Many heroes here are also here for this reason."

Many people around agreed, and many stood up and bowed to Huang Yan and the others, vaguely surrounding this place. However, Liu Xu still sat there quietly, looking indifferent, and even the curve of his mouth seemed a little mean.

The news he received was that Lin'an City was in chaos. If he relied on these crude warriors, they might just come to die.

What does the matter of slaying demons have to do with them?

These people are a bit noisy.

"Sir, why don't you sit at the same table with us and give this seat to the two young men." Someone in the crowd saw Li Fan sitting there, looking a little out of place, and reminded him.

The crowd's eyes fell on Li Fan. The young man in white was good-looking, but he lacked good taste.

Liu Xu also looked at Li Fan with a cold gaze. These crude warriors were quite sensible.

"It was originally Young Master Li's seat, and we were the ones who were abrupt." Huang Yan said, and no one said anything. Someone praised: "Miss Huang is very generous."

Liu Xu next to him was stunned, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it alone.

Huang Yan looked at Li Fan opposite her with an apologetic look in her eyes and said softly, "There are demons and ghosts rampant in Lin'an City now. How about you come with us?"

"Junior sister..." Liu Xu looked at Huang Yan, but Huang Yan didn't even look at him, so he could only look at Li Fan coldly.

"Okay." The boy who had been quiet all this time raised his head, smiled and nodded, his eyes innocent and simple. Huang Yan was stunned, and when she saw Li Fan's brilliant smile, she said, "Then I will protect you."

"..." Liu Xu's eyes already showed a murderous look. What was this junior sister doing to a crude warrior?

Huang Yan is the daughter of his master and has been spoiled since childhood. His original intention of going out this time was to capture Huang Yan, but he did not expect his junior sister to be so mischievous.

The noise in the inn continued. A breeze blew in from outside, bringing a bit of chill, and the temperature of the air seemed to drop a little.

Wisps of grey air rolled into the inn through the door. There was still laughter inside. Many people were even drunk and shouted loudly that they wanted to slay demons and monsters.

The wooden door creaked, and someone looked outside and said, "Where is this strange wind coming from? Waiter, close the door."

"I'll go out and take a look." The waiter ran forward and tried to close the door, but just when he was halfway through closing it, he stopped abruptly and fell straight back.

"Huh?" The people in the restaurant were stunned, and when they turned around, they saw blood flowing down the waiter's neck, staining the ground red.

The creaking sound continued, and the cold wind blew into the inn, sobering up the drunkards instantly, and they felt a little cold all over.

"A demon or a ghost?"

It was quiet, eerily quiet, with only the wooden door still making noises.

"Death, monster." After a moment's silence, a warrior rushed out while looking a bit drunk. However, just after he stepped through the gate, he stepped back with a thump, then let out a scream, with blood oozing from his eyes.

"Be careful..." Immediately, everyone in the hall picked up their weapons and looked outside vigilantly, but no one dared to go out.

Liu Xu and Huang Yan looked outside and saw a strong demonic aura.

Everyone in the inn turned around and looked at the two of them. Someone said, "Please ask the two young men to help exorcise the monster."

Obviously, they have lost their previous ambition and ambition.

Liu Xu stood up and walked outside. Everyone saw that his eyes were as fast as lightning and the long sword behind him was unsheathed. They immediately felt at ease.

"You stay here and don't go out." Huang Yan smiled at Li Fan, then walked out and drew the sword from her waist. A stream of air flowed through the two of them.

"Boom..." The wooden door made a loud noise and a powerful demonic aura swept into the inn, causing the tables to shake.

"How dare a bunch of rats come here to die." A sharp voice was heard, and a terrifying sense of oppression enveloped everyone in the restaurant.

Black fog raged in the restaurant, tables and chairs were constantly overturned, and the restaurant was in chaos.

Li Fan stretched out his hand to hold down the table, but the dishes were blown away.

He put down his chopsticks and glanced at the black fog. Under his golden eyes, he saw that the black fog vaguely gathered into a creepy face.

The face seemed to sense the danger, and the black airflow receded like a tide. With a loud bang, the door of the inn was broken and the black mist was forced out of the inn.

"He is worthy of being a Qigong practitioner." Everyone looked at Liu Xu. He stood there with a sword and repelled the monster. They couldn't help but praise him.
