C94 Blue City (1/2)
The bustling streets were brightly lit.
As the bestowal ground for the Grand Seal Empire's royal family, Blue Ocean City was especially lively at night. The streets were bustling with people. It was like a city that never sleeps.
Under the bright lights, one could hear the laughter and scolding of the brothels. Behind the bright and dazzling scenery was the heaven for lonely men.
In a corner where no one was around, a chase was taking place in the darkness. The one running in front was a short and ordinary looking middle-aged man, but there was a trace of ruthlessness in his tone. The man's clothes were rather messy, and there was a woman's pink-lipped tattoo on his neck.
”Phantom martial skill!”
Hiss hiss! The numerous silver white sword shadows intertwined to form a sword net and attacked from behind. The expression on the man's face changed. In a hurry, he repeatedly turned his head and swiftly swatted out several formidable palm forces.
Bang! The sword net was blocked, but the distance between the two sides was reduced by less than five meters.
”Brat, who exactly are you? Why did you want to kill me? ” The man glared fiercely at his opponent, feeling both furious and shocked at the same time. The opponent was clearly only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but after that exchange, his eighth level Qi Refining was actually unable to defeat him. Helpless, he could only run.
Opposite him was a handsome and frosty young man. He looked at the young man with a cold gaze. ”You're a fox?”
”That's right. I am the Soaring Centipede, the Beaver.” The man cursed bitterly.
”Soaring Centipede? ”Heh.” The youth sneered. ”That's right, the person I'm looking for is you.”
The young man was Han Chen. A few days ago, he had received the mission Manager Liu brought him, and had arrived at Blue Blue City. A fox is a gambler. Therefore, Han Chen had waited several days at the biggest gambling den and academy in the city before he finally arrived.
”Looking for me?” Mou Niu's eyes turned cold and his expression became serious, ”Hmph, little brat, who the hell are you? Who sent you? ”
”You don't need to know. Die!”
”Oh?” Han Chen was slightly surprised, he laughed lightly, ”Aren't you the imperial relative of the empire?”
”Hmph, brat, still wet behind the ears. I, the Flying Centipede, the Beaver, have offended many people. I would even dare to provoke the Bai Family, the Liu Family, and even the Mayor's mansion of the Hidden Court City. But don't you think it's strange that I've lived this long? ”
After listening to what the other party said, Han Chen was a little confused.
The words said by the fox were not just an exaggeration. Previously, Han Chen had also secretly asked around about the situation of the Beaver, as it was indeed a vile criminal who liked to cause trouble. Logically speaking, after provoking so many powerful powers, he should have already been killed.
Seeing Han Chen's slightly hesitant look, Olive heaved a sigh of relief. Then, a faint sense of ridicule gushed out from his face, ”Kid, before you do anything, you need to clearly understand other people's background.”
”Thanks for the reminder, but you still have to die.” The longsword in Han Chen's hand exploded with a resplendent brilliance, causing intense restlessness to fill the air.
A hint of anger gushed out of his eyes. ”You want to kill me? You're delusional, hmph.”
In the next moment, a beaver escaped from his bosom with a ball the size of an egg. Bang! He landed on the ground, followed by white smoke and a pungent smell.
Han Chen immediately held his breath and retreated a few steps. Looking back, there was no one at the place where the Beaver was. With a deep sigh of relief, Han Chen squinted his eyes and chased in a certain direction.
The noisy street was bustling with people. As Han Chen travelled through the crowd, he accidentally discovered that the vast majority of them were moving in the same direction.
Not far away, a few middle-aged men were standing in a circle, discussing something. A man with a small eye and a goatee on his chin said.
”The Phoenix and Tower's auction is about to begin. Let's go and join in on the fun.”
”To where? With that little bit of wealth you have, what can you buy? ” It was a man in dark clothes who retorted.
”Aiya, I'm just going to take a look! He didn't say he wanted to buy it. I heard that there was something very expensive in the auction tonight. It's said that even the Azure Blue Prince has set his eyes on this item and has sent people to bid on it. ”
”Oh? What was that good stuff? Do you know? ”
”Heh heh.” The man laughed complacently, and his small eyes emitted a trace of a trace of a prideful light. Under the questioning gazes of the surrounding people, he whispered, ”It's a type of flower petal.”
A few meters away, Han Chen roughly heard a few words, then turned around and left, preparing to continue chasing after the Beaver. He had just taken two steps when the man with small eyes behind him spoke in a low voice.
”The name of this strange flower is, hemoptysis.”
What? hemoptysis. Han Chen's heart was startled, his face was full of astonishment. When Ye Kong thought back to the psychedelic forest, the strange creatures in the underground palace, his seniors too. Wasn't it the hemoptysis that needed his help to find them?
It really was like stepping on broken iron shoes and finding nowhere. He did not expect that news of the Blood Crescent Sunflower would arrive so quickly. After a moment of hesitation, Han Chen found an old uncle by the side of the road and obtained the specific location of the Phoenix and the tower before hurrying over.
