Chapter 226 The Cardinal(1/2)

The cold wind blew up, and the afterglow was obscured by the night.

As the last trace of light dissipated between heaven and earth, a desolate chill came over.

Like winter.

Xilan Town, in front of the tavern.

Warm yellow light shines from the window of the tavern. The burly boss is rummaging under the counter. He scratches his head and wonders to himself: "Strange, there is no Baili (wine name) here?"

He opened the drawer and fiddled with it, then opened the next drawer and rummaged around to find a flashlight.

Just as he was about to squat down and look for it, his ears suddenly twitched.

He stood up and looked towards the front door of the tavern.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and cold wind rushed into the tavern.

The flames on the fireplace on the other side seemed to be suppressed, as if they were about to go out.

He withdrew the dagger. In order to prevent Xu Shen from being a person with reconstruction ability, he swung it out again. With several blows, the dagger penetrated Xu Shen's throat, forehead, and eye sockets.

Myself...?

The boss looked down and saw that Xu Shen was sitting in front of him intact. The bar was also clean as before. How could there be any splash of blood?

The tavern owner seemed to be reminded and said quickly: "I can make whatever you want to drink."

"Is this the kind of thing?"

He knelt down on one knee, and although he couldn't move inside the bar, his body disappeared into the market world, and he knelt in front of Xu Shen across the bar.

"snort!"

No wonder Liu Huang fell at the feet of this young man... He originally thought that Liu Jichuan, Lao Du and others would be waiting to greet him when he returned, but the position of leader was changed.

At this moment, the school is empty, like a ghost in the dark, and the windows are like huge eyes, staring at the passers-by outside.

After saying that, he raised his head and drank.

The footsteps of the five people walked silently, and even the huge body of the tavern owner who followed behind made no sound when walking on the ground.

The weird and terrifying giant beast, and the young man connected to the beast.

The boss saw Xu Shen's disbelieving look and sneered at the corner of his mouth.

The cold sweat fell from the face of the tavern owner. Soon, a cocktail was mixed and he handed it to the young man sitting in front of the bar, thinking deeply: "You can use it slowly."

It's already early spring, and it's still snowing.

What's more, Xu Shen also has the A-level ruin beast he saw from his nightmare ability.

He raised his arm and saw that purple meridians appeared on his arm, entangled like earthworms. His arm became stiff. In addition to tearing pain, he was gradually losing consciousness.

Suddenly, Xu Shen felt a slight chill on the back of his hand. When he raised it, he saw a piece of melting snow.

Obviously, Xu Shen, who controlled the three cardinals, would find it easy to kill him.

The boss looked at Xu Shen in shock and anger: "Where is Lao Liu?!"

The tavern owner's eyes were filled with confusion. Feeling Xu Shen sitting close by, his throat seemed to roll subconsciously, and he forced a smile and said, "Don't you drink plain water?"

He let go of his hand in shock, and the bottle shattered.

He tore off the bartending apron and stopped pretending to cover up, revealing his burly figure and muscles that had previously been suppressed and shrunk. His height was impressively 1.9 meters, or even close to two meters.

When his eyes returned to the tavern again, the boss's face was pale, as if he was exhausted, and he looked at the young man in front of him in horror.

But he saw Lao Du's pitiful eyes: "Look at what you are doing."

"Now I like drinking." Xu Shen said softly.

His eyes subconsciously looked at Xu Shen's shoulders, where a strand of black hair was still entangled.

This made the boss's pupils shrink tightly.

The boss suddenly looked at the young man behind Xu Shen. He had heard of the latter's ability.

Xu Shen said softly: "In other words, it's time to call him Xue Mei."

There was a clang.

The boss was horrified and hurriedly looked at the old man behind Xu Shen: "Old Du, what are you doing?!"

At this time, the purple meridians on his arms were gradually fading away.

"He's gone."

He then looked at Lao Du and the other three people: "You actually betrayed the Pope?! Do you think this young boy has more foresight than the Pope? Follow such a person, you..."

But then... something terrible happened.

Standing behind Xu Shen like a puppet ghost.

The tavern owner's eyes glanced back and forth on the faces of the three people behind Xu Shen, but he saw a signal that made his heart sink. He forced a smile and said, "Where's Lao Liu?"

He looked up and saw that in addition to the bleak cold wind and mist under the night sky, there were actually sparse snowflakes falling down.

The tavern owner's expression became even more unnatural, but he still tried to restrain himself: "Is there something urgent? Why didn't you come to say hello?"

Xu Shen stood up and said: "Let's go, let me go see the last cardinal."

Xue was the surname Ah Mei later received, and was also given by Liu Jichuan himself.

Suddenly, a cold light appeared, and a short dagger suddenly came out from under the bar, and under the ferocious gaze of the tavern owner, it stabbed Xu Shen.

puff!

The dagger was like silver light, instantly piercing the wine glass and piercing Xu Shen's throat!

The boss looks ugly, damn, when did it happen?

"It seems that I can't drink this wine." Xu Shen looked at the boss regretfully.

Lao Du snorted coldly and interrupted him: "Emperor Liu is dead. Now we are sworn to be loyal to the new king. Don't be stubborn."

"Of the six cardinals, there is only one left, and that's Ah Mei."

The boss was about to yell angrily when his vision suddenly became distorted, the tables and chairs in the tavern were torn apart, and a church scene emerged in the darkness.

The boss felt bitter. When Liu Jichuan summoned them all, they thought it was making a fuss out of a molehill. Who expected that things would turn out like this now.

Suddenly, he felt a twinge of pain in his arm.

"boss."

The young man gave the boss a meaningful look and said nothing.

While exchanging pleasantries, he turned around and touched the counter.

The three of them just looked at him silently, without speaking or taking any action.

The cold wind is coming.

Not long after.

The young man behind Xu Shen said indifferently.

He silently followed Xu Shen and the group walked out of the tavern.

A bottle of wine was hit and shattered.

The boss looked ugly and was sweating. Finally, he lowered his head and said, "Please forgive me for being rude. I am willing to swear allegiance to the new king to the death!"

"In order to kill me, six cardinals were transferred to this town. Bureau Liu really thinks highly of me..." Xu Shen smiled softly. The tavern owner in front of him did not participate in the assassination in the church because of the latter.

The ability is not suitable for assassination and belongs to the power attack system.

Xu Shen nodded slightly: "Get up."

The tavern owner frowned as he looked at the headless corpse gushing blood in front of him.

thump.

Xu Shen picked up the wine glass and said softly: "Water will only get colder as you drink it, but wine will get hotter as you drink it."

Four two-state ambush and assassination.

And Liu Jichuan, who was facing off ahead.

Xu Shen smiled at the dazed tavern owner, came to the bar and sat down: "Let's have a glass of wine."

Nightmare!

The tavern owner smiled a little reluctantly: "Are your tastes so similar? Okay, I'll adjust it right away."

The tavern owner's eyelids twitched fiercely, he patted his head and said, "Look at my carelessness." He firmly grabbed two bottles of wine from the side and took them down.

Blood surged wildly, splattering inside the broken cup wall and also splashing on the bar table.

"It's the same as Lao Liu." Xu Shen said.

The five of them passed the school that Xu Shen passed by during the day.

Xu Shen looked at the falling snowflakes in a daze, then lowered his head, tightened his clothes and coat, and walked forward.
