Chapter 17: Encounter with Robbery

  Kaixin himself was a handsome young man, very eye-catching. Now holding the Junzi sword, he had even more elegance and the demeanor of a martial arts hero. He quickly left the gate of the Murong Fu, behind him a group of male players who were not yet officially part of the Murong Fu's inner circle let out a sigh of envy, jealousy, and resentment. The female players' eyes, on the other hand, had a few more sparkling lights, following Kaixin's figure from head to toe, making his ignored companions even more depressed.

  Leaving the Murong residence, Kaixin stored the Baisanguo knife taken from the tomb raider's body in a money house. Although the Baisanguo knife carried by the tomb raider was not a famous sword, it was also very sharp and durable, only one line away from being a famous sword. In the future, when practicing knife skills, he can take it out to use, so as not to buy another weapon again.

  As for the jade burial objects obtained from the unlucky ghost 'Lao San', Kai Xin directly took them to the store and sold them, earning 1,100 taels of silver, plus 120 taels of gold, as well as the previous 500 taels of silver notes, now he can be considered a rich man.

  As he passed by the clothing store, he happily stopped in his tracks, lowered his head and took a look at the gray shirt he was wearing, thinking of Miss Murong's words.

  Murong's family is a renowned and respected clan, and he himself doesn't want to tarnish its reputation.

  This money must be spent.

  He turned into a clothing store and came out wearing a simple light blue warrior shirt, with a blue heroic scarf tied around his head. He looked less like a beautiful young man with a elegant demeanor, but more like a martial artist with a heroic air and a masculine temperament.

  This outfit didn't cost a lot of money, but it was the happiest and most frequently used attire during my dormant period. At that time, it even attracted many girls' admiration and attention... apart from the weapon in my hand...

  As soon as they came out of the shop, this set of equipment immediately caused a sensation among street players.

  Gentleman's sword, blue warrior shirt, heroic scarf, beautiful young man greatly changed, seemingly more passionate than in those years, the eyes of half of Su City are fixed on Kai Xin's body, and even some bold female players are sending secret signals, secretly conveying autumn waves.

  Feeling the unusual atmosphere under the street, two pairs of eyes from the second floor of 'Youjianjiulou' leaned out slightly and quickly focused on the blue figure in the center of the street that caused a commotion.

  "You're so young."

  "Hmm, quite stylish."

  The two people in the conversation were two young men, who looked no more than twenty-two or three years old. However, compared to most players on the street, they seemed mature and steady - this was a characteristic of Jianghu. After entering Jianghu for a month, players' physical appearance would gradually approach their real-life appearance, regardless of age.

  The two of them stared at the figure in light blue walking down the street with an especially scornful and malicious gaze.

  "Not even out of the newbie phase yet and already so arrogant, looks like another rich family's son."

  "You mean give him a lesson?"

  The person opposite raised an eyebrow, silently pressed the weapon on the edge of the table, stared at his partner, and revealed a faint smile.

  "He who knows me, also knows you."

  The two burst out laughing and quickly went downstairs with a slap on the back.

  ……

  Happy to go out of town this time, the target is naturally the evil 'Li San' who collects protection fees. The Jiugong Bagua Sword has just entered the third realm, and dealing with Li San's 50% strength is a bit lacking, but based on his own experience, he should be able to entangle and believe that he can quickly upgrade.

  However.

  Unexpectedly, I was stopped on the way by someone.

  Two players who looked slightly taller than themselves, wearing the same samurai uniform and carrying swords, immediately stopped in their tracks, their eyes revealing a serious expression.

  "I seem to not know either of them."

  "After three years of wandering in Jianghu, I have long been aware that many people are more sinister than the evil NPCs like Li San and Lao San, despite their inferior martial arts skills."

  "This kid's sword... isn't bad."

  "It seems like there's something valuable on your body, otherwise, if a sword comes out, it belongs to you, and if anything else comes out, it belongs to me!" The two people opposite each other were completely uninterested in the conversation.

  “……”

  Upon hearing this, he smiled happily and looked down at the Junzi sword in his hand, a cold smile rising in his heart.

  The sword hadn't even warmed up yet when I bumped into a robber!

  Hmph.

  These two kids seem to have been wandering in the "rivers and lakes" for some time, their weapons are not bad, their aura, mentality, and calmness are better than those of ordinary newcomers, they can do evil things without blushing or having a guilty conscience, and they should have bullied many newbies.

  Realizing that the other party had moved with greedy intentions, Kai Xin didn't plan to waste words on the two of them. He drew out his gentleman's sword, its icy blade angled towards the ground:

  "Come on over."

  Since the other party has made up their mind to rob him, he doesn't mind fighting back a bit.

  The two people opposite each other exchanged a glance, and finally saw a hint of something out of the ordinary in the young swordsman's eyes, which were bursting with battle intent and calmness. At the same time, they withdrew their previous slight disdain, as the opponent was completely different from anyone they had met before, too calm, too composed...

  However!

  The young man was really too naive, and they were also old-timers who had been mixed for a month, and they wouldn't take their happiness to the extreme. The knife-wielding youth hesitated for a moment, looking at the sword-wielding person:

  "You go first! I'll cover you."

  "Okay."

  That man took a few steps forward with his sword, staring at Kai Xin, his tone gradually turning cold:

  "Remember my name, I am Wu Hou!"

  "Cut to the chase."

  "Hum! Let's see how long you can keep talking tough."

  The man with the sword was immediately enraged by the carefree tone, and shouted angrily. He made a very precise move of "Xianren Zhilu", and the cold light burst out, moving with the sword.

  Her eyebrows jumped up, and her face showed a surprised expression!

  No wonder the knife-wielding man felt at ease letting this person deal with him alone, indeed there's some skill involved.

  This is Quanzhen Sect's Quanzhen Swordsmanship, from speed and power...

  The Eighth Boundary!

  Although startled in his heart, his hands didn't hesitate for a moment as he used the move "Penglai Welcoming Guest" to lead open the opponent's attack. The two swords intersected, and the difference in their swordsmanship levels was immediately revealed.

  As the boundary is refined, Wu Hou's speed and lethality are absolutely superior, feeling the sluggishness of the Jiugong Bagua sword technique, he continuously advances without hesitation, extremely brave and completely oppressive.

  "Haha, you think this little trick is impressive?"

  Every time they clashed, Wu Hou could clearly feel that his opponent's strength and speed were not on the same level as his own, seemingly just entering the door, appearing immature and inexperienced.

  But there is one thing that's strange.

  Even if the opponent's boundary is very low and their swordsmanship is clumsy, their footwork is extremely methodical. It's as if every step can predict their next move in advance, using the smallest cost to block my attack in advance. Although it was a struggle, they indeed took each one down.

  The previous few times might have been luck, but every time it happens like this, there's a problem!

  After a brief exchange, the face of the man watching from the side with his sword slowly became serious and solemn. He had already completely seen that the opponent seemed to be very familiar with the Quanzhen Swordsmanship, with steady steps and sword moves that improved with each passing moment, becoming more and more fluent...

  In other words, it seems that the opponent is using Wu Hou's cultivation of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Swordsmanship.
