65: I don't eat beef, tit for tat
Jiang Yi had originally planned to visit Yunyan City.
However, he looked at the map, and the distance was about six thousand li.
In between, there was also a city named “Feihua”!
So, he could only enter Feihua City first!
Then, he would proceed to Yunyan City!
Regardless of the former or the latter, in terms of overall strength, they were both significantly stronger than Rock Mountain City.
If one had to categorize them!
Then, Rock Mountain City would be considered a small city, while Yunyan and Feihua were medium-sized.
This was because they were closer to the core area, said to be tens of thousands of li in circumference—
Hong City!
... As evening approached, the setting sun descended!
A somewhat old and dilapidated inn was built on one side of the main road.
Standing alone!
It looked like it had been there for a while!
On both sides of the main door, lanterns had been lit, emitting a faint red glow from within.
Adding a touch of vibrant color to this inn!
And illuminating the plaque hanging in the middle!
Four large characters were written on it—
“Yuelai Inn!”
Like a bright lamp in the night!
In this gradually dimming world, it attracted travelers on their way!
Catching their attention!
“Big brother, are you staying?”
When Jiang Yi arrived at this place, a head with two small braids peeked out from inside the main door.
It was a little girl!
She looked about seven or eight years old!
Tilting her head slightly, she blinked her eyes, staring intently at Jiang Yi.
Her voice was tender, revealing a hint of innocence!
Jiang Yi glanced at her, his gaze shifting slightly!
Then, he nodded and said,
“Yes!”
“Someone, someone, we have a guest, hurry over to greet him!
Big brother, please come in.
Big brother, are you hungry?
Our inn has wine and meat, guaranteed to satisfy you!”
The little girl said, leading Jiang Yi to sit at a table that had been polished to a shine.
The waiter also hurried forward!
He was thin, with a slightly pointed chin and a grinning mouth, giving him a somewhat sharp-nosed, monkey-faced appearance!
After bowing and scraping to Jiang Yi, he proactively led the Gnu to the stable built next to the inn.
“Big brother, you sit first!
I'll go to the backyard and get you some wine!”
The little girl was quite enthusiastic, dressed in a pink outfit, skipping and hopping!
Like a small colorful butterfly, dancing gracefully!
Making people feel a spontaneous liking for her!
After a few breaths!
The little girl came out from the backyard, holding a white ceramic bowl.
Taking small steps, she looked quite cautious!
Her two chubby little hands were raised high, offering it to Jiang Yi.
“Big brother, drink!”
Inside the ceramic bowl, the wine was clear and pure, with a refreshing aroma wafting up.
For someone who loves wine!
They would probably have been unable to resist, wanting to take a sip.
Jiang Yi did not reach out to take it, but shook his head and said,
“I don't drink!”
“...”
The little girl instantly froze in place!
At this moment, another figure hurried out from the backyard; judging by his attire, he was the innkeeper.
“Hot beef is here!”
“Customer, you're in luck, this was just slaughtered today, it's very fresh!”
“Hurry and try it while it's hot!”
The innkeeper walked over, carrying a plate, his face full of smiles, and equally enthusiastic.
Jiang Yi glanced at it, then shook his head again, saying:
“I don't eat beef!”
All of a sudden!
The atmosphere in the inn grew cold!
Around the tables, five other people were scattered, all gripping the weapons in their hands, looking in unison towards Jiang Yi.
“Why don't you help me, little sister?”
Jiang Yi's expression remained unchanged; he raised his hand, grabbed one side of the ceramic bowl, pushed it forward, and tilted it.
Pressing it to the girl's mouth!
Pouring the wine into her!
“Gulp...”
The little girl's eyes widened, wanting to break free, but she was as if clamped by pincers.
Unable to move!
She could only watch helplessly as the bowl of wine went down her throat!
In less than a breath!
Her entire body collapsed to the ground like a boneless mollusk.
After struggling and wriggling a few times, the girl's skin peeled away, revealing what was underneath—
An ugly face, and a short, gnarled body like old tree bark.
Where was that a cute little girl?
It was clearly an old hag, seventy or eighty years old, emitting a putrid smell!
At this moment, she opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word!
She could only look at Jiang Yi with extreme malice!
“Looks like the wine is good!”
“It even made you reveal your true form!”
Jiang Yi said indifferently!
As he passed by, he had already smelled a rotten, foul odor emanating from her.
Turns out it was a dwarfish old hag in human skin!
An evil cultist!
Looking at the skin, it was pinkish-white and lifelike, probably made from real material.
The innkeeper was stunned at first!
It seemed Jiang Yi's series of actions had truly caught him off guard.
Soon, he reacted.
“Fourth Boss!”
The innkeeper cried out in alarm, then became furious, flipping the plate in his hand.
The so-called “beef” clattered to the ground!
One could vaguely see some black hairs mixed within.
Could this ox have been a black ox?
The innkeeper showed no hesitation, using the plate as a weapon.
As if wielding a Saber, he slashed down!
The Saber light was sharp, revealing its edge!
Dense Qi Blood gushed out like a spring, transforming into strands of black malevolent liquid that swirled and tore through the air!
This was clearly a martial artist of the ninth level of the Qi Blood Realm!
But in front of Jiang Yi!
It was undoubtedly like a mayfly shaking a tree, far from enough!
He merely extended two fingers and easily caught the plate that had transformed into a Saber.
With a gentle twist, the Qi Blood shattered!
As he flicked it, the sharp black Saber light reversed, returning from whence it came!
Using his own methods against him!
“Puff!”
A muffled sound of flesh being pierced!
Under his bewildered gaze, the black malevolent Saber Intent he had unleashed actually bounced back.
Instead, it split him in two!
He died tragically by his own Saber!
In his gradually dimming eyes, there was still disbelief, confusion, and bewilderment... [Killed one enemy at Qi Blood Realm ninth level, plundering 93 years of his Lifespan.]
Jiang Yi stepped forward!
With a flick of his hand, a wisp of golden Qi Blood burst forth, piercing through the dwarfish old hag's glabella.
Sending her to Hell!
[Killed one enemy at Opening Storage second level, plundering 113 years of her Lifespan.]
The surrounding travelers were clearly also part of the same group, exuding a brutal aura.
They were probably Mountain Bandits or brigands!
However, in terms of strength, they were far inferior to the two he had just killed.
The power of the Golden Prime Aspect circulated!
As he raised his hand, it transformed into several golden lights, as fast as lightning, and comparable to Sharp Weapons.
Even if those people held weapons to block, it was useless!
They were pierced through together!
They even fell to the ground dead before they could react.
Five people provided him with two hundred years of Lifespan.
When the waiter returned, seeing the ground full of corpses, the sinister smile on his face instantly froze.
