Chapter 1257 Sword God Smiles (Thirteen)

When Jue Ge and Ruoyu came out of Wang Qiong's room, it was already daybreak.

After several hours of discussion, the cooperation between them and Wang Qiong was finally confirmed.

Among the many NPC forces in this script, Wang Qiong is definitely not the strongest in "military force", but in terms of "intelligence"... he is unmatched.

Such a character is the type that Feng Bujue is most willing to cooperate with.

Through negotiations with Wang Qiong, Jue Ge's side quest - [Find out the cause of the murder case in Mi Si Inn] has been successfully completed.

Although Feng Bujue had managed to get some things out of "Jing" before taking his head, the information he got at that time was not enough to complete the task. Because... "Jing" is not a person who is afraid of death; until the head was moved, Jing only revealed some basic information about the script. Such information... can be asked from a disciple of a second-rate sect.

Fortunately, Jing still had a stack of banknotes from Wang Qiong's bank...

Feng Bujue found Wang Qiong through these banknotes; and after talking with Wang Qiong, the mystery of the Misi Inn was completely solved.

Speaking of which... this "Jing" was also unlucky.

The afternoon of the previous day, after a hard fight, he finally succeeded in killing and disguising himself as Mian Dao Ren.

After completing the disguise, Jing took the banknotes given to him by Wang Qiong and left the town, trying to meet his "companion" at a certain place outside the town.

Unexpectedly, he met Feng Bujue and Li Ruoyu not far from Linlu Town.

When Brother Jue saw that the data strength of this guy was much higher than that of ordinary NPCs, he went forward to negotiate with him. As for the result of the negotiation... Anyway, it was pretty good for the two players.

At present, after successfully uniting with Wang Qiong, Feng Bujue has a clear understanding of all kinds of information in this script.

In his mind, he has also begun to lay out the plan for tonight's events.

However, what he could not have expected was that his act of killing "Jing" had already caused a dramatic change in the original plot.

…………

On the other hand, at the same time, outside Linlu Town.

In the wild forest, on a huge rock, there seemed to be a man kneeling upright.

He was a middle-aged man, who looked to be about fifty years old, with a scruffy beard.

He wore a bamboo hat and thick, but tattered coarse cloth clothes; next to him, there was a stick-like object wrapped in cloth.

Although it was wrapped in cloth, anyone who took a look at it would feel that... it was a weapon.

"It's dawn." Suddenly, a voice came from behind the man.

It was a woman's voice. She and her companion had been standing by a tree not far from the middle-aged man, resting quietly.

Both of them were players, with IDs [Oda Ai] and [Sasaki Ming].

"I know." After a moment, the middle-aged man spoke slowly and responded.

"Jing didn't come." Oda Ai said again.

"Yes, he didn't come." The middle-aged man said.

"Yesterday you said... he would arrive in the evening at the latest, but we waited all night in vain." Oda Ai said.

"What do you want to say?" the middle-aged man asked.

"What she wants to say is... there are only two possibilities at the moment." Before Oda Ai responded, Sasaki Ming beside her said in his sickly and weak tone, "First, Jing ran away with the money himself, and second..."

He didn't say anything more, because he could feel that when he said the word "second", the breath of the middle-aged man on the rock... had changed.

"Hmm..." After a pause, the middle-aged man spoke again, "It's not that easy to kill Jing."

"Hmph... maybe not." Oda Ai sneered, "Maybe it's difficult for those guys in the town, but as far as I'm concerned... I can kill him within ten moves."

"Then do you think..." the middle-aged man continued, "Can those 'foreigners' like you do it?"

"Can they be solved within ten moves like Oda... It's hard to say." Sasaki Ming took over the conversation and replied, "But if they simply pursue the result of 'killing'... it won't be too difficult for them." As he said, he fixed his eyes on the other's back, "As long as they are willing... even if they deal with you, there is no way."

"I see..." After listening to Sasaki Ming's words, the middle-aged man remained calm and said lightly.

After that, he picked up the stick wrapped in coarse cloth at hand and stood up from the stone.

"If that's the case..." The middle-aged man stood still and raised his hand to pull the brim of his hat, "Then there's no need to wait any longer."

After saying this, Oda Ai's expression changed: "What do you mean? You want to go into town?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man gave a positive response.

"Hey, hey... This is different from what we agreed on." Oda Ai obviously had some opinions about the other party's decision.

"For you, it doesn't make much difference, right?" The middle-aged man didn't react much, his tone was still very calm, "It's just that the 'time' is a little earlier."

"This..." Oda Ai was still hesitating.

"Don't worry." The middle-aged man continued, "I am trustworthy... The deal between us remains unchanged; after we join forces to kill all those martial artists and the so-called "foreigners"..." He took out a bamboo scroll from his arms and held it horizontally at his side, "I will naturally offer this 'Sword Dance Grass Record' with both hands."

When the two players of "Warring States" saw the item, their eyes changed a little, but they did not move at all.

"Of course, you can also choose... to draw your swords at me now." After a pause of a few seconds, the middle-aged man said again, "As long as you can kill me, this thing will naturally belong to you."

Of course they would not draw their swords...

If Oda Ai and Sasaki Ming wanted to sneak attack this man, they would have done it long ago.

The reason why they stood less than five meters behind each other for a whole night without taking action was because they felt unsure...

In their opinion... the difficulty of joining forces with this NPC to kill other players and NPCs was far lower than the difficulty of the two of them challenging this NPC.

In fact, this was indeed the right choice.

Objectively speaking, this middle-aged man who holds the "Sword Dance Grass Notes" is very strong.

His fighting power can at least rank in the top three in this martial arts world. Of course... this list only counts the living, and those who are no longer alive are not counted.

In terms of single-handed fighting skills - Jing, Shui, and Yue, these three are already top-notch in the current martial arts world. They are even better than masters of the same level as Duan Keyi, Mian Daoren, and Xie Xiuwen.

However, compared with this man, they are still far behind.

Even they themselves will admit this frankly, because... "Jinghua Shuiyue" are all disciples of this man.
