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

Chapter 9: Being targeted?

"Also, the martial arts skills of that young man just now should not be underestimated."

"Judging from his aura, his martial arts level is very likely similar to yours, young lady."

Hearing the two uncles in front of her praising Lu Xuan, a hint of shock flashed in the depths of the woman's beautiful eyes.

what!
Although I knew that this young man had extraordinary aura, I didn't expect that his martial arts level was not inferior to hers?

You should know that she has now reached the perfection of the Flesh Refining Realm and is only one step away from the Bone Refining Realm.

With such talent, she is a genius even in the capital city.

Today, unexpectedly, in a small town, she met a young genius who looked almost the same as her.

Sure enough, my father was right. The outside world is full of hidden talents and there are countless geniuses.

"Miss, it's getting late. You should get some rest. We have to hurry back to Qingyun County tomorrow."

"I guess the master is also in Qingyun County and has been waiting for the young lady for a long time."

Except for this table, everyone was still secretly discussing Lu Xuan.

In the other corner of the inn, there were four men sitting next to a table, their eyes also looking in the direction where Lu Xuan left.

The four of them were all wearing plain cloth. Besides some food and wine, there were also four tattered-looking swords on the table.

One of the men approached a tall and strong man and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother, that kid just now seemed to have an extraordinary background, and seemed to be the son of a wealthy family."

After hearing this, the tall and strong man turned his gaze to the other man.

"Third brother, you just went out to see how that kid is doing."

The man who was questioned by the boss immediately understood and told the information he had just learned.

"Boss, this kid is a little weird?"

Hearing his third brother say this, the big man looked puzzled and his tone was a little serious.

"Hmm? Third brother, what do you mean? How many people did this kid bring?"

"No, brother, you worry too much."

"This guy only brought two people with him. I, the third brother, just bumped into the big fool who was watching the horses.
I discovered that the big, stupid guy had an unstable lower body, looked good but was useless, and had never practiced martial arts at all."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other three people looked at each other at the same time.

The thin man who had never spoken before also spoke at this time.

"In other words, the only person around that kid is the guard who runs around him."

"I just don't know how strong he is. Big brother, I think it's better to be careful."

"Hey, second brother, you're worrying too much. That kid only has one guard by his side.
As long as the four of us make the arrangements properly, this matter will be settled."

"It's not like we haven't encountered such fools before. They foolishly brought a few weak guards with them, and in the end, we killed them."

The one who spoke was the man who started asking questions first. He looked very excited at this moment, as if he had encountered something great.

As the eldest brother among the four, looking at the different opinions of the other three, he pondered for a moment and finally said quietly.

"I finally found a fat sheep that I could take action against. In my opinion, this vote is enough to make the move."

There was no way, the brothers had been observing in Shili Town for many days.

Those people coming in and out are either large and powerful teams or some wandering thugs, whom they can't afford to offend.

There are also some poor guys waiting to die, who are even poorer than them.

The ones with more people and more power are like the table opposite, which just happens to have the fat sheep they have their eyes on.

The fat sheep they were targeting was the table of people that Lu Xuan had looked at before.

Especially the woman covered with white veil, the brothers were envious of her.

Although the woman's face was covered, it was only a self-deception. Even a fool could see the stunning beauty beneath the veil.

If it weren't for the fact that they were equipped with sophisticated weapons and there were more than a dozen big men with ferocious looks on their faces.

Several of them had already been plotting against that woman.

"Then I'll follow Big Brother's advice."

Seeing that their eldest brother had spoken, the three of them no longer had any objections.

After all, their eldest brother is the most powerful among the four of them and a master in the skin refining realm.

What's more, they are now almost at the end of their rope. If they don't open the business, they will really starve to death.

Finally, a fat sheep appeared that could be targeted, so it wouldn't hurt to take a risk.

"Okay, Third Brother, take our two horses and feed them well, and make them strong enough.
When that guy leaves Shili Town tomorrow, we'll seize the opportunity to take action."

Originally, the four of them had four horses, but on the way to Shili Town, they were so poor that they had to leave.

Two of the horses were slaughtered on the spot to fill their stomachs, otherwise they would not have survived to reach Shili Town.

"Wait, brother, I have some good stuff here that should be able to deal with the guards around that brat."

"Oh, second brother, what is that?"

The big man looked at his second brother holding a small cloth bag in his hand, which seemed to contain something.

"Brother, here are some poison powders. As long as you take action tomorrow,
Sprinkle it in front of the guards protecting that kid, and he will have no ability to resist."

"Jie Jie Jie!"

After listening to his second brother's story, the big man couldn't help laughing, and then whispered.

"Good, very good. With this package from my second brother, we will be safe tomorrow. That kid won't be able to escape even if he has wings."

late at night!

In a quiet and simple guest room, Lu Xuan was sitting on a wooden chair next to the table.

There were already several meat dishes on the table, enough for five or six people.

But in less than a moment, it was all consumed by Lu Xuan.

Even after eating so much food, Lu Xuan only felt eight-tenths full.

No wonder the ancients said, the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts!
Without the help of a large amount of money, people who practice martial arts may even have trouble eating.

Lu Xuan's mind moved, and the system panel appeared in front of him.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Blood Refining Realm (Perfection)

Skill: Red Flame Sword Skill 1/9
Score: 1
Looking at the point of 1, Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling a little helpless.

As his strength increases, the demand for points becomes higher and higher.

This point was caused by the residual medicinal effects of the blood ginseng he ate last time.

It seems that he can only pin his hopes on that legendary thing, otherwise it will be harder than climbing to the sky to obtain his system points.

Lu Xuan, who was still feeling deeply moved, had no idea that he had been targeted.

But even if Lu Xuan knew, he would not take those ants seriously.

Early the next morning.

The carriage that Lu Xuan was riding in slowly drove out of Shili Town and then disappeared into the horizon.

But not long after, two horses also appeared, looking like they were in a hurry.

Following the traces left by Lu Xuan's carriage, the two horses were running so fast that they raised clouds of dust along the way!
