Chapter 1776 Challenge Rules

"Sir, enjoy your tea!"

After a while, the waiter came up with a teapot, placed it on Chen Lin's table, and arranged a set of exquisite tea sets.

"Wait a minute."

Just as the waiter was about to leave, he was stopped by Chen Lin.

"Sir, what do you want?"

Chen Lin looked around and then looked out the window.

"I found that people in your city don't seem to be willing to talk. Is there something taboo?"

The waiter looked around after hearing this.

He whispered, "Are you new here?"

"Yes."

Chen Lin nodded.

The waiter showed an expression of "as expected".

But he didn't answer immediately, but looked like he was hesitant to speak.

"Why, it's inconvenient to say?"

The waiter hesitated.

Finally, he answered, "There's nothing that can't be said, but the atmosphere in the city has become a little bad. The sword cultivators of the major sword halls are keen on challenges. In order to avoid trouble, no one is willing to communicate."

"Challenge?"

Chen Lin raised his eyebrows.

He remembered that he had been challenged by the white-robed swordsman just now outside the city because he asked for directions.

He wondered, "If you don't want to accept the challenge, just don't fight. What's there to be afraid of? Can the sword cultivators in this city kill people at will?"

"Killing for no reason is definitely not allowed."

The waiter glanced at the other two customers.

Seeing that the two didn't notice this, he lowered his voice even more.

"Sir, you should know that under normal circumstances, when a sword cultivator challenges someone higher than himself, the challenged person must fight, otherwise he will be demoted, but when challenging someone lower than himself, the lower-level party can directly refuse."

Chen Lin nodded slightly.

He didn't know, but it was not difficult to understand.

So he didn't interrupt him.

"But our city is a little different."

The waiter continued.

"Luo Xian Sword Sect encourages challenges. As long as one party has the intention to provoke, the other party, regardless of the level of cultivation, can forcibly challenge."

"And the winner has the right to take the loser as a sword servant, and the loser cannot refuse."

Chen Lin's mouth twitched.

This place actually has such outrageous rules.

No wonder he was challenged for asking for directions. It turned out that the long-faced swordsman had bad intentions and wanted to get a servant for nothing.

Fortunately, he had always been very polite and did not mean to provoke the other party, so he did not give the other party a reason to force him to attack.

"What if the strong man who forcibly challenged him loses?"

Chen Lin did not believe that there would be such unreasonable rules.

If there were no restrictions, ordinary people would be in danger. Who would dare to live in this city?

"If you lose the forced challenge, you will not only become the other party's sword servant, but also hand over all your wealth to the other party."

"Including wife and daughter, house, land, inheritance, etc."

The waiter lowered his voice.

Chen Lin's expression moved.

Just as he was about to ask again, the door of the store was suddenly pushed open.

A man in white clothes with a sword and a sinister face walked in.

Seeing this man, the waiter's face changed and he stopped talking to Chen Lin.

He stepped aside carefully.

The two customers at the other table also stood up immediately and walked out without looking around, as if they were very afraid of the man in white.

Chen Lin glanced at him.

Although the man in white was wearing white clothes, there was no embroidery on his chest, which meant that he was not a swordsman.

He was just a swordsman of the lowest level.

However, even if he was a swordsman, as long as he could wear a formal white robe, his strength should not be underestimated.

According to his estimation, the strength of the swordsman in white could match that of the semi-virtual realm.

Chen Lin sighed again.

The level of this scene was too high. If you came in below the virtual realm, there was no way to survive.

"Hey, you bumped into me?"

Just as he brought the teacup to his mouth, Chen Lin heard a frivolous voice.

He looked sideways.

He saw that the two people who were about to leave were blocked by the man in white.

The man in white covered his shoulder with his hand, pretending to be in pain, and kept looking at the woman among the two.

"Don't spit blood!"

The speaker was another burly man, who spoke in a deep voice to the swordsman in white. .

"Oh, you are so brave!"

The swordsman in white grabbed the long sword at his waist.

He snorted coldly and drew out the long sword.

He pointed at the burly man from a distance, "You dare to insult the swordsman in white, then please accept my challenge!"

Chen Lin was speechless.

This method of touching porcelain was too blunt.

It was completely a bully.

If this also complied with the rules, then this city would really be uninhabitable. If you say something wrong, you will become someone else's slave.

He put down the teacup and turned around to watch the fun.

He wanted to see how this man and woman would respond, learn from their experience, and use it when he encountered similar situations in the future.

"We did not insult the swordsman in white, and we will not accept the challenge. Please don't block the way and let us leave!"

The woman explained immediately.

The swordsman in white did not mean to let them go.

He blocked the door with a flash of his body.

He snorted coldly: "It's not up to you to decide whether it's an insult or not. Your companion just said that I slandered him. How could I slander him?"

"Isn't this a veiled criticism of us white-clothed swordsmen who drink human blood and eat human flesh?"

"Such words are simply the greatest insult to sword cultivators. Only my sword can wash away this injustice!"

"You!"

The woman was speechless.

The man next to him didn't know what to say either.

His face changed for a while, then he turned to look in the direction of the counter and said urgently: "Shopkeeper, we paid for tea when I came to your place, so you should give us a certificate, right?"

The shopkeeper is a wealthy old man.

Hearing this, he didn't even raise his head. He kept his head buried under the counter, constantly flipping through the account books.

The waiter in the shop ran away to no one knows where.

Chen Lin understood clearly.

The status of this swordsman in white seems to be quite high.

Even without relying on his identity, the strength of the swordsman in white is not something that ordinary people can handle, and the shopkeeper is afraid of getting himself into trouble.

He looked at the three people at the door again.

The man and woman also had swords slung around their waists, wondering if they would accept the challenge.

Not wearing white clothes doesn't mean you don't have strength.

In his perception, even if the cultivation base of the two people did not reach half-virtual, they were almost the same. If they were to fight to the death, they might not lose.

I just wanted to see if anyone from the authorities would stop the fighting in the city.

But to Chen Lin's disappointment, the man and woman did not accept the challenge, but chose to surrender.

The man saluted the swordsman in white and said in a low tone: "I am willing to lose money and avoid disaster, and I ask the swordsman to show your kindness. Otherwise, I will have to go to the city lord's palace to ask for an explanation."

"cut."

The swordsman in white curled his lips.

He said sarcastically: "The City Lord's Mansion has no time to take care of such a trivial matter."

He said this casually, but he did not continue to press, but nodded.

"Well, since you two are sincere in admitting your mistakes, I won't argue with you. As long as you give me a hundred sword coins, I won't pursue you for insulting the swordsman."

One hundred sword coins?

Chen Lin secretly thought that the other party's lion was opening his mouth.

With the purchasing power of sword coins, this is definitely a huge sum that ordinary people cannot afford.

really.

The man's face suddenly darkened.

The woman next to him was even more furious.

He said coldly: "This is robbery. There is a despicable person like you among the sword cultivators. It seems that the swordsman in white is not a good person..."

"Little sister!"

The man next to him was shocked and hurriedly pulled the woman to his side and covered her mouth.

But it was too late.

The white-clothed swordsman looked as if his plan had succeeded.

Reach out.

He took out a small bright yellow sword.

He raised his head high and said loudly: "You two have insulted the entire sword cultivator group and violated the law. I use the contracted sword as evidence to challenge you!"

Finished.

The swordsman in white smiled coldly.

He looked at the two brothers and sisters with a half-smile, "Even if you go to the City Lord's Mansion now, no one will help you. There are only two choices before you, become my sword servant, or become the soul of a dead man under my sword!"

"you!"

The burly man's face flushed with anger, but he didn't know how to defend himself.

He glared for a while.

He took his hand away from the woman's mouth and placed his palm on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Women are more assertive.

He drew out his sword directly and pointed it at the swordsman in white coldly, looking like he wanted to eat people.

"Want to resist?"

The swordsman in white narrowed his eyes.

"Then take my move!"

The words fell.

There was a flash of cold light, and then two clanging sounds, and the swords of the two brothers fell to the ground.

The palms were dripping with blood and all the fingers were missing.

Both of their faces turned pale.

Especially the burly man, who knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed repeatedly as he looked at the sword point at his sister's throat and the majestic killing intent on the swordsman in white.

"My brother and sister are blind, please spare your lives. We are willing to sign a sword contract!"

"snort!"

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."

The swordsman in white snorted coldly, made a sword trick, and put the long sword into the scabbard.

Then he sent the bright yellow sword forward.

He said calmly: "Don't let me say another word, otherwise there will be no room for maneuver."

The burly man stood up.

He took the small sword in his hand with a look of defeat.

A light stab at the chest.

The small sword suddenly changed from bright yellow to blood color, and slowly formed a blood mark, which was hidden in the sword body.

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

This contract sword is a bit interesting, it is more advanced than the contract scrolls in the cultivation world.

And depending on the meaning, you must use this kind of contract sword challenge, so there will be the rules like becoming a sword servant or inheriting your wealth if you lose, as the waiter mentioned before.

There is no normal battle.

After learning this, Chen Lin felt slightly disappointed.

Just now, he was thinking that when he had the opportunity to find your Wang Shouyi's residence, he would inherit all his property.

The other party is a swordsman with two flowers. To challenge him, Chun Chun is using the strong to bully the weak, which is in line with the rules of inheriting family property.

Now there is no hope.

The other party did not use the Contract Sword on him, which meant that he had no intention of making him a sword servant and was simply performing official duties.

The burly man completed the contract.

The small sword was handed into the woman's hand.

The woman had a look of despair on her face. She looked at the sword in a daze for a while, then picked it up and thrust it into her throat.

He was going to commit suicide!

But he was caught by the burly man.

"elder brother!"

The woman cried out sadly.

The burly man shook his head. Although he said nothing, his eyes contained countless emotions.

final.

The woman's trembling hands moved away from her snow-white neck.

Gently insert the small sword into your chest.

Scene reenactment.

The small sword turned into blood, forming a mark that disappeared.

When the sword was taken back by the swordsman in white, both of them lost their souls and turned into walking zombies, their energy and energy instantly dissipated.

"Ha ha!"

"Not bad, not bad."

The swordsman in white looked very happy.

He stretched out his fingers and hooked the woman's chin, the lust in his eyes undisguised.

Then he took out a small bottle and threw it to the burly man.

"I, Chu Fuhu, have never been stingy with my own people. Here is a bottle of Xuanbing Gel. Take it and connect your fingers. They are so bloody that they don't look good."

After finishing speaking, he slowly came to the counter and knocked on the counter.

"Shop Manager Qin, how are you thinking?"

The shopkeeper didn't respond.

He smiled.

"If you keep going like this, this teahouse will close down sooner or later. Why don't you leave it to me and I'll ensure that you can leave Luo Xian City safely. When the time comes, the sky is high and birds can fly. Wouldn't it be better for you to go somewhere else and continue to have fun?"

The shopkeeper didn't say anything yet.

The lesson is there, the two brothers and sisters just said something, and they turned into sword slaves. He didn't dare to say anything.

As long as there is no excuse, even the swordsman in white cannot bully the weak without reason.

Chen Lin sat on the stool and watched this scene with interest.

He wanted to analyze the rules and restrictions of the scene based on everyone's words and deeds, as well as the degree of "agility" of the creatures in the scene.

It seems relatively normal at the moment.

Unlike other scenes, because of the rules, every creature is paranoid and completely unreasonable.

When Chu Fuhu saw that the shopkeeper was not getting enough oil and salt, a look of sullenness appeared on his face.

But the other party didn't say anything or even make any moves, so there was nothing he could do.

The swordsman in white has a noble status, but he also has great restrictions. If he bullies the weak for no reason, he will be deprived of his status as a swordsman in white, or he will be sent to the sword pond for punishment.

Waited for a while.

Seeing that the shopkeeper still remained silent, Chu Fuhu took a deep breath and turned his head to look away.

He happened to be eye-to-eye with Chen Lin.

"What are you going to do?"

Chen Linqiang spoke calmly.

His hands and legs couldn't help but tremble, but he refused to flinch and looked at the other person.

As if a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

Chu Fuhu was in a bad mood, and when he saw that Chen Lin dared to look directly at him, he became furious.

But he didn't have a seizure.

Instead, he waved his hand and said, "It's none of your business, so get out of here."

Chen Lin looked relieved.

He stood up and walked towards the door.

But his legs seemed to be in trouble, and he fell to the ground after taking two steps.

It felt like humiliation.

Chen Lin muttered in a very low voice: "The swordsman in white is awesome. He is not a good guy at first glance. He knows how to bully ordinary people if he is born without a mother. When I become stronger, I will specially Take care of you white-clothed swordsmen and kill them one by one!"

"What did you say?"

At some point, Chu Fuhu appeared next to Chen Lin, looking down and coldly.

"ah!"

Chen Lin exclaimed.

He quickly said loudly: "You heard wrong, I didn't say anything, I'm leaving right now!"

Justify yourself.

Struggling to stand up, he ran towards the door.

But then his eyes flashed, and a long sword was pressed between his eyebrows.

Chu Fuhu's cold voice sounded.

"Originally I was not interested in you. A brat who doesn't even have a good sword is not worthy of me, nor is he qualified to be my sword servant. But your words succeeded in irritating me."

"I didn't say!"

"I didn't say anything!"

"Don't slander me. No one will testify. If you dare to attack me, you will be punished!"

Chen Lin exclaimed repeatedly.

"snort!"

Chu Fuhu snorted coldly.

"Do you think others can't hear you if your voice is small?"

After saying this, he turned to look in the direction of the counter.

"Shopkeeper Qin, did you hear his insults to the swordsman in white?"

The old shopkeeper who had been lying down finally raised his head, took a deep breath, and nodded helplessly.

Chu Fuhu looked at Chen Lin again.

He reached out and took out the bright yellow sword again.

Raise high above your head.

He spoke loudly: "You insulted the swordsman in white and violated the law. I use the contracted sword as evidence to challenge you!"

As the sound sounded, the small sword bloomed with gleaming light.

Chen Lin concentrated his attention.

There seemed to be a faint mysterious energy emanating from the bright yellow sword, which did not allow him to avoid it and acted directly on him.

He understood secretly.

This contracted sword should be a regular object, connected to this scene, and there is no possibility of exemption.

"Afraid?"

Seeing that Chen Lin remained silent and looked frightened, Chu Fuhu raised a cruel smile on his lips.

"It's a pity it's too late."

"And with your qualifications, you are not even qualified to be my sword servant. I will make you into a sword puppet so that you can't even keep your own sanity, lest you speak arrogant words and bring disaster for me."

"Then I have to thank you."

Chen Lin shook his robe, reached out and pulled out the wooden sword.

The breath changed instantly.

The whole person was as deep as the ocean, and an unparalleled pressure enveloped the entire teahouse.

"you!"

Chu Fuhu was shocked.

The eyes of the old shopkeeper and the brother and sister also lit up.

"What, are you scared?"

Chen Lin spoke calmly.

He was waiting for the other party to take out the sword of contract, so that as an 'ordinary person', he could obtain the other party's property after killing the other party.

With the other party's cunning and plundering character, he must be wealthy, and he won't have to worry about sword coins in the future.

Otherwise, he would have to find a way to earn sword coins, which would delay the completion of the task.

Chu Fuhu felt Chen Lin's strength and immediately retreated.

At the same time, he spoke in a deep voice.

"It is a serious crime for a swordsman not to wear a sword suit. I advise you to surrender to the city lord's mansion immediately, otherwise when the inspection team comes, you won't even have a chance to defend yourself!"

"Hehe."

Chen Lin chuckled.

Ignoring the other party's cowardice, he moved his mind and activated the spirit-endowing realm.

"I accept your challenge!"

As the voice sounded, Chen Lin once again entered the scene shrouded by strange fluctuations, and flashed to Chu Fuhu's front.

Chu Fuhu stayed where he was.

Let the giant sword pierce his chest.

It's not that he didn't want to dodge, but he had a feeling that no matter how he dodged, he would be stabbed by the opponent's sword.

And his defensive means were completely ineffective.

So he could only watch the wooden sword pierce through his chest and take away all his life.

With a plop.

He fell to the ground with unwilling eyes.

The teahouse was silent, and everyone stared at Chen Lin in a daze.

Chen Lin stretched out his hand.

He grabbed the floating bright yellow sword in his hand! (End of this chapter)
