Outside the window.
The conversation between the two was heard word for word by Chen Xuan.
"Beasts!"
His heart was filled with anger.
His face was cold, and his eyes gleamed with a chilling light.
Tonight, these two brothers must be killed!
Just now,
when he saw Li Jin,
even though it was just a back view, that broad back and sturdy waist were clearly not a good sign.
Even if he wasn't a martial artist, he was still much stronger than ordinary people.
He considered whether to find another time to deal with Li Tie,
so as to reduce the risk a little.
But now,
he must eliminate them from the root to prevent future troubles.
He took out a piece of black cloth and covered his entire face.
Then,
he pulled out a thumb-thick wooden stick from his pocket; it was hollow inside and contained a drug designed specifically for dealing with beasts.
He lit it with a flint.
Instantly,
a faint white smoke appeared.
Chen Xuan held his breath,
and inserted the stick into the window.
Suddenly,
inside the room, a faint fragrance appeared, very subtle.
"What's that smell?"
Li Jin's sense of smell was naturally different from ordinary people, and,
he had used it to escape crisis after crisis over the years.
"There... there's no... smell, big brother."
Li Tie's face was flushed, his eyes were unfocused, and his speech was starting to slur.
"Something's wrong!"
He suddenly shouted loudly.
He felt a slight dizziness.
This shout even startled Li Tie on the other side, and he sobered up a bit.
He then sniffed hard,
"Seems... there is a smell... ah..."
Before he finished saying 'ah',
he felt completely powerless and slumped onto the table.
Outside the house,
Chen Xuan was keeping a close eye on the situation inside. After Li Jin shouted that something was wrong,
he had already put an arrow on the string.
With strength in his arms, the bow, which had been reforged, was instantly drawn fully.
Through the hole in the window,
Chen Xuan squinted with one eye, aiming at the area behind Li Jin's heart.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of an arrow!
"How dare you! Who dares to make a move against Master Jin!"
Li Jin roared angrily.
Having muddled through so many years, his alertness was naturally not something Li Tie, who indulged in drink and debauchery, could match.
At the moment he heard the sound of the arrow, he sidestepped,
but,
Chen Xuan was already a Ninth Grade martial artist, and this arrow was unleashed with no mercy.
Too fast!
Even though he reacted quickly enough,
however,
after all, he was not a martial artist,
this arrow merely avoided the vital part,
it still hit his shoulder.
Seeing this from outside, Chen Xuan immediately broke through the window and entered, simultaneously pulling out the dagger from his waist.
Without any nonsense,
he lunged at Li Jin with the dagger.
"How daring you are, I'm a member of the Wild Wolf Gang, you're courting death!"
Li Jin's eyes flashed with ferocity as he scolded.
The severe pain coming from his shoulder revealed his identity with the Wild Wolf Gang.
He hoped this identity would scare the opponent away.
But obviously, he miscalculated.
Chen Xuan sneered coldly in his heart,
never mind that Li Jin was a member of the Wild Wolf Gang, even if he were the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, he must die today!
The distance between the two grew closer and closer,
seeing this,
Li Jin endured the severe pain from his shoulder, picked up a table, and smashed it fiercely toward the approaching Chen Xuan.
"Humph!"
Chen Xuan snorted coldly, and his fist slammed into the table coming at him.
With a "boom" sound.
Under one punch, the entire table shattered into pieces.
One could imagine how heavy Chen Xuan's punch was.
"Martial... artist!"
Li Jin's mouth slowly uttered these two words, his eyes widened again, and his pupils rapidly contracted.
How could it be a martial artist!
At this moment, he was stunned.
Seeing the opportunity, Chen Xuan thought it was a good chance.
He kicked up,
and smashed into Li Jin's chest heavily.
With this kick,
Li Jin's entire body was kicked back, falling heavily to the ground from mid-air.
"Ah..."
The intense pain made him scream miserably.
He felt like his entire body was falling apart.
Curled up like a shrimp, with both hands covering his chest.
Pain!
Piercing pain!
With difficulty, he raised his head and looked at Chen Xuan not far away, his face filled with terror.
"Spare me, hero, did I offend you somehow, or is it for money? As long as you spare my life, everything can be negotiated!"
The words "martial artist"!
Pressed him to beg for mercy!
In this world,
the fear of martial artists has long been etched into the hearts of ordinary people.
Even those who have navigated the underworld for years, with their lives hanging by a thread, are no exception.
However,
Chen Xuan did not hesitate for a moment,
though he didn't know any martial arts skills,
he had watched many martial arts TV shows in his previous life,
his whole body leapt high,
his knee struck hard against Li Jin's chest.
"Ah!"
The pig-like scream sounded again.
Seeing this,
Chen Xuan covered Li Jin's mouth with one hand, the other hand's knife slid across Li Jin's neck!
Blood spurted out,
he didn't dodge, letting the blood splash onto his clothes.
Beneath him,
Li Jin made his final struggle before dying, his body resisting constantly.
But,
even though his strength surpassed that of ordinary people, compared to martial artist Chen Xuan, it was still lacking.
Eventually,
his eyes bulged, motionless.
At this moment, Chen Xuan's breathing became rapid.
For both the original owner and himself, this was the first time killing someone.
Although he had witnessed many such scenes as a war correspondent in his previous life, when he personally killed someone, he still felt obvious fear.
Moreover,
now he was being stared at by the dead Li Jin.
However,
fortunately, after a moment, he finally felt a bit better.
He went to the sleeping, deadpanned Li Tie next,
and just like a moment ago,
slit his throat with a knife.
Compared to his elder brother Li Jin, he did not make a sound.
It seemed like luck.
In contrast, when killing Li Tie, Chen Xuan felt a bit more natural, and he didn't have the previous feeling of fear.
"Is this... habit... becoming natural?"
He murmured softly to himself.
But,
after killing, Chen Xuan didn't forget to search the bodies.
On Li Tie's body, there was nothing, not even a single big coin.
"Bad luck!"
Chen Xuan cursed under his breath.
Next was Li Jin.
Carefully searching,
"What's this...?"
A book?
Of course, Chen Xuan didn't think a simpleton like Li Jin would read cultural books. Coming to the dim oil lamp,
"The Art of the Room"
"What a treasure!"
Instantly overjoyed.
Truly a good thing.
He was just worrying about this, always losing to that little girl Su Yun.
With this thing,
he hoped he could finally take charge.
"Hehe!"
Chen Xuan's face unconsciously showed a mischievous smile.
Lastly,
he found some silver taels on Li Jin's body, Chen Xuan weighed them, probably about five taels.
For their family now, this was a huge sum.
"I guess this can be considered eradicating evil for the people!"
Chen Xuan thought for a moment, feeling he was quite right.
If a mere member of the Wild Wolf Gang held such a huge amount of money, just imagine how terribly the villagers around here were oppressed by the Wild Wolf Gang.
Looking at the two dead bodies,
his peripheral vision fell on the flame of the oil lamp.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to him.
....
Under the cold moonlight,
an expanse of white snow surrounded them.
At Li Tie's house,
the fire blazed high!
Then, after taking a glance,
Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief,
and swiftly ran toward his home.
