I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 466 - 287: Escort Team, Bandits (Part 4)

Immediately, he began directing the remaining escorts, instructing them to pack their fallen comrades into body bags, ready to continue their journey.

With Wan Guying holding the fort, the fallen tree blocking the road was no longer a problem. With a single palm strike, she sent it rolling to the roadside.

The escort team saw this and quickly urged their horses forward, resuming their journey.

Watching the escort team gradually disappear into the distance, Qin Yuesheng and Bai Ningxuan exchanged glances. Because they both appeared quite young, they were overlooked by the others.

However, Qin Yuesheng and Bai Ningxuan were no ordinary people. They had heard every single word Wan Guying and her group had spoken.

Qin Yuesheng asked, "Xiao Sect’s Three Tigers, do you know who they are?"

Bai Ningxuan replied, "I’ve never heard of them, I only remember the top experts on the ranking lists."

Qin Yuesheng shook his head, looked at the mountain bandits’ corpses scattered on the ground, pulled the reins, and rode forward.

...

The sky gradually darkened, and as the sun finally set, Qin Yuesheng and Bai Ningxuan spotted a small town, allowing them to avoid the hardship of spending the night in the wilderness.

The town was surrounded by walls, but they were extremely old-fashioned, clearly from years ago, exuding an aura of time’s erosion.

As they rode to the town gate, Qin Yuesheng glanced at the town’s name on the city wall and his expression changed slightly.

Cyan Sky Town.

This seemed to be the very place where the Xiao Sect’s Three Tigers resided, such a coincidence.

"Look." At this moment, Bai Ningxuan, one horse away, tugged on Qin Yuesheng’s sleeve and said, "Look inside."

Qin Yuesheng looked into the town and saw several little beggars just past the gate, staring at the two of them with wide eyes and emotionless expressions, eerily calm.

"It seems like they want us to give them some coin," Bai Ningxuan said.

Qin Yuesheng directly tossed a few pieces of silver: "Take us to the inn in the town."

Thanks to the foundation of the Flying Knife Divine Skill, Qin Yuesheng’s throws were incredibly accurate; the little beggars didn’t even need to catch it with their hands as the silver fell right into their pockets.

"Thank you," the little beggar bowed to Qin Yuesheng and then turned to lead him into the town.

Cyan Sky Town wasn’t very big, and now that the sun had set in the west, the town was shrouded in a dull gray.

As Qin Yuesheng rode through, he saw few people around, presumably everyone had returned home to rest.

"Here we are," the little beggar leading the way said.

Qin Yuesheng saw the words "Cyan Sky Inn" on the roadside sign, dismounted, and led the horse toward the inn entrance.

With guests arriving from afar, the inn’s waiter hurried out to lead Qin Yuesheng’s two horses to the backyard for feeding.

Qin Yuesheng and Bai Ningxuan found a table to sit at and began to order food.

"This inn is so quiet, there’s no one else here besides us," Bai Ningxuan said softly as she looked around at the empty tables and chairs.

"It’s just a small town, how lively can you expect it to be?" Qin Yuesheng took a small box from his bosom, opened it, revealing numerous pills inside.

Paying no heed to Bai Ningxuan’s meaningful gaze, Qin Yuesheng picked up a pill and placed it in his mouth, chewing it.

With several of his useful martial arts techniques elevated to the Divine Skill Level, Qin Yuesheng intended to merge all his now-unused martial arts to see what it would ultimately become.

To merge so many martial arts, he inevitably needed All-Purpose Essence.

Since the Great Ghost Venerable incident in Cyan Yang City, Qin Yuesheng hadn’t encountered any strange apparitions, ghost race creatures, or demonic entities, so he had to rely on ingesting pills and herbs to replenish his All-Purpose Essence.

But in Bai Ningxuan’s eyes, she interpreted Qin Yuesheng’s actions as vigorous preparations for a night of fierce passion with her.

For a moment, her face was glowing, her eyes brimming with water-like laughter, unable to conceal her smile.

Yet from Qin Yuesheng’s perspective, her current expression seemed rather odd. If he had known that Bai Ningxuan thought he was preparing for that sort of affair by taking medicine first, his expression would have been quite spectacular.

Just then, footsteps echoed from outside the inn, and two Great Han equipped with swords and wearing bamboo hats entered, sitting down near Qin Yuesheng and Bai Ningxuan with an air of menace.

Feeling the aura emanating from the two, Qin Yuesheng was slightly astonished.

Experts! These two were definitely masters of significant Inner Strength, probably on par with the Ten Attendants.

"Waiter, bring wine, and three pounds of beef," ordered one of the Great Han, placing a package on the table.

With sharp eyes, Qin Yuesheng instantly noticed blood droplets seeping from the package onto the floor, and with a slight sniff, he could distinctly smell the metallic scent of blood.

These two likely just killed someone.

"Unfriendly visitors," Qin Yuesheng thought to himself, rinsing his chopsticks with the tea from his cup.
