Chapter 280 - Yinling City

Li Huowang followed the technique written on the parchment and used his dantian while chanting silently in his heart. He then raised the bronze coin sword with his left hand and stabbed it toward the green bamboo shoot on the ground.

The bronze coin sword trembled for a moment and then scattered, each of the coins stabbing into the bamboo shoot.

When Li Huowang retracted the hilt, the bronze coins all flew back before consolidating into the form of a sword.

Li Huowang turned his attention back to the one-meter tall bamboo shoot, and saw that it had been shredded into ribbons.

After that, Li Huowang took a piece of stone covered in moss and slashed at it.

However, at that moment, Li Huowang suddenly felt a strong power coming from within the sword. He felt as if the sword was twisting his hand instead of him swinging the sword.

Just as the bronze coin sword was about to hit the stone, it scattered and the various bronze coins flew past it. Then, the coins cut down a tree behind the stone before rearranging themselves back into his hand.

This sword is very useful.

Li Huowang smiled as he looked at the sword in his grasp. Compared to the other items, it was far more useful and it didn’t have any side effects. At the same time, it was also a ranged attack, something that he needed desperately.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiucai's eyes were full of envy as he saw Li Huowang easily grasp the technique in such a short period of time compared to him.

However, even though he was envious, he still praised Li Huowang excitedly, “Master is amazing! You are the best in the world!” N♡vεlB¡n: Unleashing Imagination, One Read at a Time.

Hearing the praises of someone who hadn’t studied and didn’t know how to praise someone, Li Huowang's face was filled with disgust.

“Master, what should I learn next?” asked Lu Xiucai. His eyes revealed just how eager he was as he asked this most important question.

Li Huowang didn’t answer him. There were only two reasons why he had decided to teach Lu Xiucai: One, he wanted to see if the technique used by the disciples of Luoism would be able to chase off the rage within Lu Xiucai’s body, and two, he wanted to test and see whether the technique had any side effects.

However, now that his objectives have been attained, Li Huowang needed to think about how to deal with the annoying fellow.

Since it was impossible to chase Lu Xiucai away with his current temperament, Li Huowang needed to think of something else.

“This... This wall...” Puppy stammered.

“This wall is massive!” exclaimed Yang Xiaohai.

“Why are you finishing my sentence?” scolded Puppy as he hugged his wife’s waist and followed closer behind the horse carriage.

Soon, they reached one of the city gates where everyone was lining up. The guards, who were wearing robes inscribed with the character for ‘soldier’, checked the people who were trying to enter.

Compared to Qing Qiu, they were much more stern with the inspections over here. Only after checking everything did they let the people enter.

Seeing this, everyone felt worried; they all tightly grabbed the black veil covering their heads.

As they waited to be let into the city gates, Li Huowang heard the conversation of people in front of them.

“Why are you entering the city?” The guard’s tone was cold.

“Sir, I am a performer. I hope this will be enough,” said Lu Zhuangyuan as he passed the recommendation letters while hiding some silver underneath them.

The guard took the letter before throwing the silver onto the ground.

After confirming that the recommendation letter had an official stamp on it, the guards that were waiting to inspect their items backed off. “Pass. Next.”

Li Huowang sighed in relief as he stood beside the ox-cart housing the Black Taisui.

After they entered, Li Huowang heard everyone behind him gasp loudly before letting out a sigh. However, this was to be expected when they were faced with the massive buildings on the sides of the road. The entire street was busy and bustling with activity.

Staring at the busy city, even Lu Zhuangyuan didn’t know what to do. He just stood in the middle of the road, unsure of where to go.

As the people around them saw him, they all had a look of disdain on their faces. It was as if they were mocking him for being a country bumpkin that had never seen a city.

“Why are all of you so worried? We should just do the same thing as usual. Let’s find an inn and settle down.” Li Huowang took the lead and everyone followed after him.

However, as he led everyone else, Li Huowang stared at the scene in front of him with a complicated look on his face. He had never expected to see a place so advanced in this world. He had thought that none of the places in this crazy world were any good.
