Chapter 1622: Chapter 1708: Spineless Coward

"Consequences? I don’t care about any consequences, there’s either him or me at the Dragon Gate Inn!"

Qin Bo was extremely angry at this point, no longer caring about consequences. How could he, the distinguished Jade-faced Divine Sword, so young and handsome, have ended up in this situation?

Su Xuan was about to make a move when suddenly there was the sound of galloping outside. Hearing horse hooves at the Dragon Gate Inn was actually quite normal, but this time it was remarkably synchronized, and most importantly, it carried a powerful presence. When this mighty force swept forward, it seemed to create a kind of destructive power.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the sound of a door being broken burst forth, and immediately three armored steeds charged in, one of them barreling straight toward the Jade-faced Divine Sword.

"Bang!" A heavy collision echoed, and in that instant, the one known as the Jade-faced Divine Sword was knocked away, crashing into a table and shattering it into pieces.

"Quicksand, you have such nerve."

The Fragrant Concubine shouted angrily, and in the next moment, the surroundings filled with people, all armed with crossbows or long swords. The three were quickly engulfed in a circle.

"Haha, Fragrant Concubine, is it you holding down the fort here?" The man who had just knocked the Jade-faced Divine Sword off the horse whistled, and a dozen people appeared, forming a large shield formation to encase the three, while masked men stormed in to engage in fierce combat with the crossbowmen. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The Fragrant Concubine flicked her sleeve, unveiling a longsword from the room, and leaped down to the fray, slaying enemies with each stroke of the blade — she truly was a master.

The Dragon Gate Inn guests either shut their doors tight or hid under tables, avoiding danger, but none of them fled.

Seeing this, Su Xuan could estimate that many might have witnessed such scenes before, it appeared the fighting between the two groups usually avoided involving bystanders.

"Should we keep clear for a bit?"

Huo Qiyin quietly asked. Now Su Xuan was definitely their backbone, so any issues were brought to him.

"Whether we keep clear or not, it’s up to you."

Su Xuan calmly replied, pouring himself a drink and leisurely taking a sip.

"Brother, maybe we should keep a low profile. The rule is, when the two groups fight, we sit quietly and don’t intervene, respecting them. This way, after they decide the battle, regardless of who wins, they won’t trouble us!"

Bu Daming quickly advised Su Xuan. Although Su Xuan was formidable, the Gathering and Dispersing Sand group were no easy adversaries. He knew Su Xuan was there to find someone and hoped he wouldn’t cause too much trouble, especially since they had to search for a tomb the next day.

"Alright, let’s go with your suggestion."

Su Xuan was indifferent. Not understanding the desert rules, Bu Daming had spoken, so it was best to heed his words. Su Xuan didn’t wish to get involved in the Dragon Gate Inn versus Quicksand melee. Though he had a fondness for Shi Feixuan, that wasn’t enough reason to act like a hothead over mere feelings.

He took a cup, sat down, and all the others seeing Su Xuan sit down, quickly did the same, leaving the central area of the Dragon Gate Inn open for the brawl. Su Xuan watched, realizing these people likely came by several times a year.

The Jade-faced Divine Sword suddenly leaped up, lunging forward with his longsword. It’s undeniable that although he might have questionable character, his Kung Fu was truly commendable. He swiftly released his sword technique, showing significant skill.

"Qian Ying, this good-looking guy interest you? Should I leave him to you?"

One of the men looked over with a grin and said.

"Hehe, then I’ll be taking advantage of it!"

A woman in her forties, flamboyantly dressed, lined with dark eyeliner and thick foundation, caught Su Xuan’s attention.

Then Hua Qianying suddenly jumped out, lightning-fast with a Nine-section Whip aimed at Qin Bo. Qin Bo quickly blocked with his longsword, but unfortunately, immediately after the block, Hua Qianying’s soft, boneless form entangled like an octopus around him. Hua Qianying’s technique was impressive. Su Xuan didn’t feel like sitting, so he sat on the ground, munching peanuts while watching the fight.

"Boss, if the Dragon Gate Inn doesn’t get reinforcements soon, it’s doomed!"

"Indeed, it’s strange for the Dragon Gate Inn to endure for so many years, its actual strength low. The Jade-faced Divine Sword may be skilled in swordsmanship, but in essence, he’s reckless. He’ll be down in less than three moves!"

Su Xuan commented amusedly while eating peanuts.

"Old Bu, have you seen them fight before? Is it usually like this?"

Su Xuan was curious. If the inn was left like this, it seemed miraculous that it hadn’t been wiped out despite great numbers with some impressive talents, it definitely couldn’t handle Gathering and Dispersing Sand!

"No, the Dragon Gate Inn I’ve seen has great power. Quicksand has four major masters, divided as Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow, and the inn has Blade Emperor and Sword Saint, but none appeared!"

"Damn, self-proclaimed, huh?"

Su Xuan rubbed his nose and smiled.

"Uh..."

Bu Daming was speechless for a while before responding.

"Brother, talking like this could get you in trouble."

Indeed, after three moves, a sudden cry rang out, as Hua Qianying dislocated the Jade-faced Divine Sword’s arm, her legs wrapped around his neck with great force, tossing Qin Bo to the ground. Before he landed, a spinning kick hit him square in the chest, sending him flying back and crashing to the ground. At once, Hua Qianying’s agile form, like a Spiritual Snake, got onto a horse and charged at the Jade-faced Divine Sword. The horse’s hooves crunched down on his foot, resulting in another cry!

"Ah... my foot!"

The scream resonated throughout the inn as the Jade-faced Divine Sword was incapacitated by Hua Qianying.

"Tsk, tsk, I thought the Jade-faced Divine Sword was impressive, but it turns out he’s nothing special."
