Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years.

Chapter 72 Xiaoxuan, let me test your skills.

"My friend, you have good eyesight!"

"It can be seen that this knife is forged from black iron."

"However, that's just black iron with flaws, not the pure black iron without any impurities that the government has."

"Otherwise, even if I had ten thousand guts, I wouldn't dare to take out this knife."

When Liu Yi saw Lu Xuan's surprised expression, a hint of pride appeared on his old face.

Obviously, this knife is his treasured collection!

Liu Yi's vanity was finally satisfied by being able to surprise this martial arts genius.

This piece of defective black iron was bought from someone else at a huge price.

"No wonder, it turns out to be flawed black iron?"

Lu Xuan's doubts were finally answered.

Black iron is something that the government strictly prohibits private contact with. How could Liu Yi, the owner of a blacksmith shop, have the courage to take it out?

Lu Xuan took the silver-white sword from Liu Yi's hand, observed it carefully, and pressed his right hand on the sword to test its strength.

Not long after, Lu Xuan put down his right hand and spoke with satisfaction.

"Although it's flawed black iron, it's enough."

"Shopkeeper Liu, I want this knife. Please name a price."

Although this sword is made of flawed black iron, its solidity is still far superior to that of a sword forged from fine iron.

With this black iron sword, Lu Xuan will no longer have to change swords so frequently.

Liu Yi stroked the white beard on his chin with one hand and spoke calmly.

"No need, this is a gift from me to you, my friend!"

"Just now, in order to satisfy my curiosity, I damaged your precious sword."

"I feel really bad about this, so I plan to give this knife to you as a gift as compensation."

"Ok?"

Will the knife be given to him for free?
Lu Xuan thought that it would cost a huge price to get this knife.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the blacksmith shop wanted to give it to him for free.

"Really? Then I thank you, Shopkeeper Liu!"

Since the other party said so, Lu Xuan had no intention of refusing and accepted it without hesitation.

County government!

The back hall of Dengfeng County Government Office was still the same as yesterday.

Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao were still sitting in the main seats in the hall, but Li Daren was not among them.

As for the officials of the county government, only the county magistrate Zeng Fan was sitting there today.

Because Li Daren had a broken right arm and his blood and qi were weak, he needed to recuperate for a period of time and was no longer able to carry out the task of eliminating the human-faced ghost.

Zhao Sheng's face was not very good at this time, and his brows were furrowed.

Especially when I think of Lao Li’s arm, which was lost due to his misjudgment.

However, now is not the time to blame himself. He still has to think about solving the problem of the human-faced ghost.

That human-faced ghost killed another family last night, and his strength increased greatly.

Even he, a martial artist who has reached the peak of the Blood Refining Realm, did not dare to say that he could easily get rid of it.

Fortunately, I met a mysterious senior last night.

Unexpectedly, there was someone in Dengfeng County who was more powerful than the three of them.

And that senior, like them, came here to deal with the human-faced ghost.

So as soon as Zhao Sheng returned to the county government office, he found the county magistrate Zeng Fan to confirm the contact address left by the senior.

It turned out that the Shen Mansion that the senior mentioned was very close to the residence of the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.

No wonder that senior suddenly appeared in the Black Tiger Gang leader's residence last night. Zhao Sheng glanced ahead unintentionally, and then saw the absent-minded look of County Magistrate Zeng Fan. He then spoke slowly.

"Master Zeng, don't worry. We, the Xuanniao Guards, will take care of that thing."

"What you have to do now is to cover up what happened last night."

With the help of that senior, solving the problem of the human-faced ghost was almost certain.

"Yes, Lord Zhao, I have already sent people to cordon off that place. No one is allowed to enter."

As for how those people died last night, Zeng Fan didn't have the courage to ask Zhao Sheng and the others.

Zeng Fan only knew that when he personally led people to the residence of the Black Tiger Gang leader.

On the ground of the mansion, there were only some charred marks and some ashes that had not been completely burned.

After seeing this horrifying scene, Zeng Fan no longer cared about the Black Tiger Gang leader or any of their relationship with him.

If he was not the county magistrate of Dengfeng County, he would have been unable to resist and wanted to escape from the county seat of Dengfeng County.

Even the Blood Refining Realm warrior from Xuanniao Guard lost an arm.

Besides, this ghost thing kills people without blinking an eye. Who knows if it will be his turn tonight.

He hasn't lived enough yet!

Thinking of this, Zeng Fan quickly stood up, put on a smile on his face, bowed with both hands, and spoke to Zhao Sheng.

"The safety of Dengfeng County is now in the hands of you gentlemen."

"I am here, waiting for your victorious return!"

In the evening, the sky is dyed with a touch of golden color, and the setting sun casts its last rays of light.

Shen Mansion!

At this time, Lu Xuan was sitting around a large table in the side hall of the Shen Mansion.

The table was filled with a variety of exquisite dishes and fine wines that were always emitting fragrance.

Sitting opposite Lu Xuan was the old man of the Shen family, Shen Yunwei.

Lu Xuan drank one glass of wine after another handed to him by Shen Yunwei, his expression not changing at all.

"Xiao Xuan, you really can drink a lot."

Shen Yunwei saw that he was already three-quarters drunk, while Lu Xuan opposite him was not drunk at all, and he couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

He is truly worthy of being Qingqing's elder brother. Not only does he have extraordinary talent in martial arts, but he can also drink better than this drunkard.

Halfway through drinking, Shen Yunwei suddenly remembered something and put down the glass in his hand.

"Xiao Xuan, you've come all the way here from Qingyun County. You must have been through a lot."

"From what I see, you look even better than before. What level of martial arts have you reached?"

"Xiao Xuan, if you want to go to Baidao Prefecture alone, the dangers along the way will far exceed the journey from Qingyun County to Dengfeng County."

Shen Yunwei was still a little worried when he saw Lu Xuan heading to Baidao Prefecture alone.

So he wanted to take this opportunity to see what level Lu Xuan's martial arts realm had reached.

Shen Yunwei's question made Lu Xuan stunned.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Xuan put down the wine glass in his hand and spoke calmly.

"Old man, with my martial arts level, as long as nothing unexpected happens, I can still reach Baidao Prefecture City safely."

"is it?"

"Xiao Xuan, would you like to spar with me? Let me see what level you have reached."

Shen Yunwei was somewhat unconvinced by Lu Xuan's answer, thinking that it was a manifestation of the young man's arrogance and complacency.

"Ok?"

A strange look appeared on Lu Xuan's face as he glanced at the persistent Shen Yunwei.

However, Lu Xuan did not reject Shen Yunwei's proposal.
