Demon Sword Immortal

It can't be that much of a coincidence...

However, this was indeed a 'trendy' party, and it's understandable that foreigners miss the taste of home.

Manager Qi led Bai Xiang to the middle of the mall, where a performance stage had been set up, and several tiers of sofas and chairs had been arranged below.

"See that big nose?"

Manager Qi secretly pointed it out to Bai Xiang.

Bai Xiang looked over and saw a white man sitting in the corner, crossing his legs and reading a newspaper.

“That’s Mr. Seredo from ‘Reef’ Company!” Manager Qi gave Bai Xiang a sharp wink.

"It's very difficult for your whole band to go abroad."

“But if we only bring one person… that won’t be a problem for Mr. Seredo, you understand?”

What good will this do you?

Bai Xiang had finally found the real culprit and was losing patience with Manager Qi. But before she could react, Manager Qi pressed his earpiece: "Hello?"

"What... I forgot my card? Do I need to go and prove it?"

"How could I make such a mistake!"

He seemed very angry, and pointed at Seredo and then outside, indicating that he needed to leave for a while.

Bai nodded, indicating that he understood.

Once she was certain that Manager Qi had completely disappeared, she picked up her guitar case and headed towards Seredo.

Seredo's identity was not ordinary; she was guarded by security personnel. However, these people had all witnessed Manager Qi's attempt to 'hint' at Bai, and assumed she was just another 'dreaming girl,' so they didn't stop her in any way.

Bai Xiang walked directly to the seat next to him and sat down. This action startled Seredo, who turned his head to look at Bai Xiang.

"Oh……"

Seredo looked at her in amazement.

"They finally found one..."

"The Demon Pool has taken it in."

Bai Xiang uttered a phrase in a low voice, directly interrupting his chanting.

Seredo was shocked.

He looked around first, then leaned down and whispered, "...Are you the company's CEO?"

Before Bai could answer, he said to himself, "It must be."

"I know this has caused you to lose manpower, but it's not my fault."

"This... is the agreed-upon compensation."

"Take it and leave quickly."

As he spoke, he took out an old book with curled edges from his bag and tossed it to Bai Xiang like trash.

Bai looked down and saw that the cover of the ancient book depicted a large, white-browed, slanted-eyed tiger with an arched body, drawn in the style of line drawing, with a bare-chested monk riding on its back. There were also small characters written on the blue background next to it.

The Sutra of the Subduing Tiger Arhat.

Bai Xiang's lips twitched slightly behind his mask. He quickly put the ancient book into his pocket and then said to Seredo, "I still need you to take me to find Nanmu's people."

“Happy to help.” Seredo smiled smugly.

This is clearly looking for trouble.

Great, another good show to watch.

Chapter 45 Solution

As soon as Celedo stood up, the security personnel next to him immediately gathered around him in a triangular formation, with some even putting their hands on their waists and staring at the guitar case that Bai Xiang was carrying on his back.

"It's alright." Seredo waved to them. "Just send one person over. I'll go to the ninth floor with her."

own people?

The security guards were all burly men with fair or brown skin. Upon hearing this, they breathed a sigh of relief but were also curious about Bai Xiang's identity.

The white ponytail at the back of her head didn't arouse much suspicion from these people, because they were all from overseas and were used to hair dyeing, so they didn't really think of that possibility for a moment.

Even though the social customs in Dayu are conservative and dyeing hair is not encouraged, the number of people doing it is not zero.

This is the benefit of launching a surprise attack.

Bai Xiang curled the corners of his mouth under his mask.

Judging from Celedo's reaction, the results of the afternoon's battle had only just arrived. But this arrogant white man, who could casually toss out a classic of the Great Yu Dynasty like the "Subduing Tiger Arhat Sutra," clearly didn't care too much about his own reputation.

This directly resulted in him not knowing her at all.

If we come back after tonight, the results might be different.

Seredo led the way, and Bai Xiang followed. The chosen security guard walked a step slower to the side of the two, positioned so as not to block Bai Xiang's path but to slightly separate them.

Minghui Building is a multi-purpose complex, with a shopping mall on the ground floor, a hotel in the middle, and office buildings on the top floor. Starting from the eighth floor, a special elevator card is required to use the direct elevator.

Because of this, it's impossible to go directly to the ninth floor.

The fire escape staircases are monitored.

No matter which way you go, you'll only alert the enemy.

But with Seredo leading the way, things were different. Once they reached the ninth floor, Bai Xiang immediately spotted two men in black suits guarding the entrance to the lobby. Moreover, the two men's expressions clearly changed when they saw him.

Did you notice my hair?

“Mr. Seredo,” the man on the left immediately stepped forward, “May I ask who this is…?”

“This is someone sent by our company.” Seredo seemed unhappy; he hadn’t expected to be questioned for bringing someone in.

He always regarded Bai Xiang as the CEO of 'Reef' Company, while he himself was the general agent for the business in Dayu.

This kind of scenario, where he is being "made difficult" by a partner company, indirectly highlights that his business skills are not up to par.

Is that right?

The two security guards from Nanmu were somewhat confused, after all, they had just been taken to a meeting where the security captain had focused on analyzing the facial and physical characteristics of some people, one of whom was Bai Xiang.

This masked woman really looks a lot like her... White hair can be dyed, fine, but amber gold eyes, are they contact lenses?

The two exchanged a quick glance, both thinking of Seredo's scandalous rumors.

Finding someone with a similar build to impersonate someone... I didn't know there was such a trick?

They did 'get it', but Bai Xiang had no intention of letting them go.

She wasn't just going through the motions today; she didn't want the two people at the door to slip away or tip off her if there was too much commotion inside the building.

“Can I teach them a lesson?” she asked Celedo.

The two security guards and Ceredo were stunned.

This arrogance... Seredo became even more convinced that she was someone from the company, and nodded with a smile: "Of course."

Being stopped indicates that he doesn't hold a high enough position in the partner company, but if he can resolve this level of post-event dispute, it proves that his business skills are still up to par.

"You..." The two security guards glared, instinctively reaching for their waists. But Bai Xiang took a step forward and used his raised elbow to strike one of them in the abdomen.

At most, they are at the seventh level of the Nourishing Spirit cultivation stage. Even if they enter the Dao and their eyes, hands, and body are greatly enhanced, they still cannot keep up with Bai Xiang's movements.

"boom!"

Before the other person could pull out the electric mace, he delivered a knee strike, and both of them were knocked unconscious by the excruciating pain, collapsing to the ground like rag dolls.

"can."

Seredo clapped his hands in delight. "After your commission is settled, can I hire you as my bodyguard?"

He treated me like someone sent from the 'Reef' side, but he still dared to speak to me in such a flippant manner.

Bai Xiang glanced at him.

This Seredo must have a rather complicated background.

The guard next to him also walked with a very stiff gait, likely because his limbs had been modified with prosthetics.

Ignoring him, Bai Xiang carried his guitar case into the corridor, where he encountered another group of security guards in black.

These people's faces were full of contradictions. When they saw them, they first glared at Bai Xiang, and then looked at Seredo with a puzzled look, not understanding what was going on.

Bai Xiang, however, did not change his pace and walked straight towards the crowd.

Her movements were slow and relaxed, as if she were strolling down the street, which unconsciously put a lot of pressure on those facing her.

Someone couldn't withstand the pressure and rushed forward, raising their hand to throw a punch at Bai Xiang.

Bai Xiang stood still, raised his hand to catch his fist, and used the force of his forward momentum to throw him away, smashing the glass wall on the side of the corridor.

Crash-!

Isn't this a bit too much of a commotion?

Seredo stared, finally realizing that something was wrong.

But it was too late. With a few muffled groans and the sound of shattering glass, the group of men in black fell at Bai Xiang's feet. She took the opportunity to put down her guitar case, unzip it, and draw her natal sword from its sheath.

"Are you a Yu Ren?"

Seredo realized something was wrong and turned to flee. His bodyguard rushed forward, trying to stop Bai from giving chase.

Bai Xiang slashed his neck with his sword, then sidestepped him, and as he walked toward Seredo, the corpse fell to the ground, making a sound like metal cans clattering together.

Seredo was deathly pale, pressed his entire body against the wall, and frantically pressed the elevator button with one hand. When he saw Bai Xiang come out, he was so frightened that he trembled all over.

"You...you can't kill me..." he said, trembling.

“My father is Viscount Seredo of the Sami Federation…”

The sound abruptly ceased with the flash of the sword.

He was stunned at first, then pressed his hands to his neck and looked down to see his hands covered in blood.

"Heh..." He raised his eyes, wanting to say something more to Bai, but only a slight sound came from his trachea.

Seredo fell.

Bai turned around again and saw another group of armed security guards emerging from the end of the corridor.

Without combat power above the Qi Condensation Realm, dealing with these people took her very little effort. A short while later, she burst into the inner office area and saw a woman dressed extremely provocatively hiding under a desk, trembling with fear.

"Who's in charge of Nanmu Consulting?" Bai thought, assuming it was a secretary-like role.

Just then, another set of footsteps approached. Bai turned around and met the gaze of three men in black with furrowed brows.

One of them was the same sleazy-looking man who had escaped from the construction site that afternoon. His expression changed immediately upon seeing Bai Xiang.

But perhaps because he had two more companions and Bai Xiang was alone, he did not back down. Instead, he moved his lips and whispered something to the other two.

The man on the left was short and had a sallow complexion with bulging temples. His smile as he looked at Bai Xiang gradually became sinister as he strode towards her.

The man on the right was tall and slender, carrying a long sword on his back. He looked at her with a very serious expression and stood in another position, blocking the road together with the lewd man.

Three people pressed in at the same time, and six eyes locked onto Bai Xiang's every move.

Suddenly, Bai Xiang loosened his grip on the guitar case strap with his left hand.

"drink!"

The short, stocky man rushed forward, and when he landed on the ground, the bricks cracked. He then threw a punch at Bai Xiang!

He was wearing gloves!

The gleaming silver metal knuckles have long, sharp spikes that extend from the joints when the fingers are clenched; even a slight graze would surely tear flesh off!

"Zheng!"

The tall, thin man also drew his sword, the clear light of which sliced ​​towards Bai Xiang's chest and abdomen from the side, vaguely aiming at the empty space on her left.

With the addition of the lewd man drawing his sword and surrounding her, the three of them instantly blocked all of Bai Xiang's escape routes, forcing her to confront them head-on!

Siege?

Have these people made a mistake...?
