After a fight, the lobby was in a mess.
The waiter immediately tidied up the tables and chairs.
When he tidied up the old man's seat, he saw a knife at the old man's feet.
Clearly, the knife was left here by the robbers during the fight.
The waiter immediately bent down to pick up the knife.
Suddenly, with a muffled thud, the waiter's head exploded.
Li Yao, who had just reached the bottom of the stairs, was taken aback.
The old man actually smashed the waiter's head with a single palm strike!
What's going on?
Qiu Moyan and the others were both surprised and puzzled.
Surprisingly, the unassuming old man was able to smash the waiter's head with a single palm strike, clearly indicating that the old man was a master.
The puzzling thing is, why did the old man kill the waiter?
The sudden turn of events caused the shopkeeper's mind to short-circuit for a moment.
Immediately, he realized what had happened and shouted upstairs, "Boss lady, Xiao Heizi has been murdered!"
Jin Xiangyu, who had just entered the room, immediately grabbed a sword and rushed out.
She stood on the second-floor corridor and looked down.
Little Blackie was lying stiffly at the feet of an old man.
Clearly, the old man was the one who killed Xiao Heizi.
Jin Xiangyu was furious and cursed, "You son of a bitch, how dare you kill my people! I'll kill you!"
Before she finished speaking, she had already jumped down from the second floor and swung her sword down towards the old man's head.
"No, he's very powerful!"
Suddenly, a woman in her forties or fifties appeared at the entrance of the inn.
The woman was dressed neatly and smartly, like someone from the martial arts world.
Li Yao frowned; another expert had arrived.
He could sense that both the woman and the old man were extremely skilled experts.
How could there be such a powerful master in this New Dragon Gate Inn world?
Just as Li Yao was puzzled, what happened next surprised him even more.
Jin Xiangyu swung his sword at the old man, but the old man calmly pulled a chopstick from the bamboo tube and tossed it aside.
call out!
The chopstick landed precisely between Jin Xiangyu's eyebrows.
Jin Xiangyu's eyes widened in disbelief, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Dead!
Chapter 123 Kind Face, Ruthless Heart
Jin Xiangyu is dead!
This unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard.
Qiu Moyan and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
Jin Xiangyu ran a shady inn in the desert, robbing passing merchants and travelers. Not only that, she also murdered people and disposed of their bodies, turning human flesh into buns to serve her guests.
Therefore, her death is not worthy of sympathy.
However, Li Yao never expected that Jin Xiangyu would be killed so in such a muddled way.
How will the story continue?
Something seems off about this script!
However, what Li Yao was more interested in was who this old man was.
But who exactly is this middle-aged woman who suddenly appears?
These two characters don't appear to exist in the original film.
The middle-aged woman glanced at Jin Xiangyu, who was lying dead on the ground, her eyes showing no emotion, and simply shook her head slightly.
She sighed, walked towards the old man, and called out loudly, "Senior brother, how have you been?"
Li Yao was surprised, not expecting that the two were actually fellow disciples.
The old man turned around slightly.
Only then did Li Yao and the others get a clear look at the old man's appearance.
The old man had a kind face and looked nothing like a fierce person.
Unexpectedly, this kind old man had just cleanly and decisively killed the flamboyant and shrewish Jin Xiangyu.
This left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
Li Yao became even more interested.
The old man saw the middle-aged woman and smiled slightly, saying, "Third sister, it's been a long time. You look great."
Just then, a young man in red, holding a boning knife, rushed out from the kitchen.
When the boy in red saw Jin Xiangyu lying in a pool of blood, his eyes flashed with malice, and he mumbled a few words that were hard to understand to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper quickly pointed at the old man and said, "It's him! He's the one who killed the proprietress!"
The young man in red had bloodshot eyes and was radiating a murderous aura. He raised his boning knife and charged towards the old man.
The middle-aged woman quickly stopped him, advising, "No, you're no match for him."
The old man chuckled and said, "Third sister, you still love to meddle in other people's business. Well done, well done!"
The young man in red, blinded by hatred, swung his knife at the middle-aged woman.
With a dozen or so whooshing sounds, more than a dozen cuts had already been made.
The speed of their movements was astonishing.
However, the middle-aged woman moved even faster.
Her figure flashed like a ghost, leaving only afterimages.
Qiu Moyan, Tiezhu, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
They never expected that such a small inn would hide so many masters.
Whether it was an old man, a middle-aged woman, or a young man in red, their skill level was beyond their wildest imagination.
Qiu Moyan lowered his voice and said to Tie Zhu and the others, "Let's go, we can't stay here any longer, let's go to our rooms."
After saying that, they went upstairs.
Li Yao did not go upstairs; how could he miss such a wonderful scene?
He calmly sat down at an empty table and quietly watched the fight between the two sides.
"Are you out of your mind? Come with us now."
Qiu Moyan walked over with a sullen face, intending to pull Li Yao away.
Li Yao smiled and said, "If they want to kill us, it's the same no matter where they are."
Seeing that Li Yao refused to leave, Qiu Moyan had no choice but to stay as well.
She instructed Tiezhu and Hehu to stay behind, while the other two carried baskets to their rooms.
The boy in red was incredibly fast and precise with his sword, each strike aimed at the opponent's vital points, as if he had an exceptional understanding of human anatomy.
Li Yao guessed that this kid must be Diao Buyu, the chef and butcher.
Diao Buyu's skill in butchering a sheep was breathtaking, even the four chief stewards under Cao Shaoqin were terrified by it.
Unfortunately, Diao Buyu encountered an even more formidable middle-aged woman.
Although the middle-aged woman did not make a move, Diao Buyu failed to hit her with a single blow.
Unable to subdue the middle-aged woman, Diao charged at the old man again.
The old man remained calm, as if he hadn't seen Diao Buyu at all.
The blade flashed like a shuttle, and the energy of the blade surged everywhere!
The old man simply swayed his body a few times and easily dodged the shuttle-like blade shadows.
This greatly alarmed Diao Buyu.
whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Diao Buyu quickened his slashing movements, and the shadow of his blade enveloped the old man like a net.
A hint of joy flashed across the middle-aged woman's lips as she pointed at the old man.
With a hissing sound, an invisible finger strike shot towards the old man.
Qiu Moyan and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
They hadn't expected the middle-aged woman to be so powerful, capable of shooting out finger energy from mid-air.
They never expected that the middle-aged woman was there to deal with the old man.
But aren't these two fellow disciples?
The old man flipped his hand and slapped it.
With a loud bang, a violent palm force suddenly erupted.
