n“Hehe, who are we?”

nA man at the back walked out and said, “We are the city lord’s guards!”

n“Oh? Are the city lord’s guards looking for me for something?” Lin Qi asked indifferently.

n“We heard that you set up a stall illegally a few days ago, so we came to arrest and interrogate you!”

n“What?”

nLin Qi thought it was funny and shook his head. “No way. I’m sitting here eating noodles now, and you’re telling me about something that happened a few days ago?”

n“This is the truth, please cooperate with us!”

nLin Qi shook his head. “I won’t cooperate. Besides, I’m not a local, and I’m also a participant in the trial, so you have no right to arrest me!”

nOne had to know that when Lin Qi came to the Black Wind Castle, he had already understood the rules there.

nAlthough it was obvious that there could not be any fighting, it was also to consolidate the authority of those nobles and guards.

n

n

nIn other words, they could only beat up ordinary people.

nThey were simply bullying the commoners.

n“Please don’t put up unnecessary resistance and come with us!”

n“Where to? The Magic Association? Or should I just give you the dimensional pouch?”

nLin Qi’s words shocked that group of men.

n‘Why was this guy not afraid at all, and he even saw through their scheme.’

nLin Qi stood up, took a deep breath, and said with an indifferent look, “Please, you have to at least try to act. Why are you talking about the guards of the city lord? You are obviously the swordsmen of the Swordsman Association!”

n“That…”

nThe few people who were seen through by Lin Qi were also very surprised.

nThat was the first time they had encountered such a situation, so they were at a loss for how to react.

n“If the guards of the city lord came to arrest me, would they send so few people?”

n“F*ck, this kid can’t be fooled. It’s time to get serious!”

nThose swordsmen were seen through, and some of them were desperate. They drew their swords and pointed them at Lin Qi.

n“Oh? Do you really dare to fight here?”

nThe leader of the swordsmen sneered, “This area is the territory of the Swordsman’s Association. With the help of the Magic Association, we can kill the two of you and be safe!”

nAs the words fell out of his mouth, Lin Qi called to Luther behind him, “Luther!”

n“Okay, I haven’t exercised my muscles in a long time!”

nLuther stood in front of Lin Qi and took out a huge sword from his back. The smile on his face gradually became ferocious.

n“This… This guy is a grand swordmaster!”

n“Sh*t, was there a grand swordmaster here?”

nThe group of swordsmen started to look at each other, not daring to rush forward.

nLuther was waiting for them and sneered, “Hey, don’t tell me the Swordsman’s Association is afraid of me? Even the bandits in my village were braver than you!”

nOne of the swordsmen gritted his teeth and was about to rush over.

nHowever, in the next second…

nWhoosh!

nAfter receiving Luther’s hit, he flew a few meters away, and the air suddenly became quiet.

n“Ahhh!”

nLuther roared, and the rest of the swordsmen turned around and fled in panic.

n“Tch, none of them can fight. They’re really useless!”

nLin Qi had not even batted an eyelash and he proceeded to eat his noodles. He shook his head and said, “Sigh, sit down and eat something…”

nHowever, before Luther could sit down, the swordsmen came back. That time, they brought a big guy with them.

n“Oh, it seems that they brought some people here!”

nLin Qi did not pay attention to them, but when he took a good look at the large man, he felt a little uneasy.

nNot only was there a big guy, but even that old man was here.

nWhen Terry heard that his men were beaten, he was instantly angry so he called his best disciple over.

nSeeing the old man walk over with a scowl on his face, Lin Qi sneered, “Old man, you couldn’t get my dimensional pouch so you want to snatch it? Is there no law in Black Wind Castle?”

nIn fact, the old man wanted to deal with Lin Qi himself, but he was no match for a grand swordmaster. Now, it seemed that he had to bring his disciple here.

nThe big guy in front of them was gigantic, and he was also a grand swordmaster like Luther, but his physique was slightly larger than Luther’s.

n“Young man, in the Black Wind Castle, what I say is the law!”

nAs Terry’s voice resounded throughout the area, the large man angrily rushed toward the two of them.

nAll of a sudden, Luther immediately used his greatsword to block the big guy’s attack.

nHowever, he had not expected the big guy to be so powerful that he even sent Luther flying a few meters away.

nBang!

nLuther hit the wall hard. He looked embarrassed and took a deep breath. “D*mn it!”

n“Hehe, my best disciple is about to advance past the level of a grand swordmaster. If you know what’s good for you, bring me your dimensional pouch!”

nLin Qi asked Luther, “Are you… Okay?”

nLuther clenched his teeth and picked up the greatsword. His eyes became ferocious as he pounced at the big guy like a wild beast.

nHowever, the other party’s strength was too overpowering. Not only was his swordsmanship superb, but Luther was also no match for him in hand-to-hand combat.

nIn two or three moves, he was thrown back again.

nSeeing that the grand swordmaster was useless, Terry smiled and said, “Hehe, what do you think? If you don’t hand over the dimensional pouch, don’t blame me for getting serious!”

n“Hey, old man!”

nLin Qi looked up indifferently and smiled. “To save 500 gold coins, you have to go through so much trouble. You really are stingy!”

nAfter saying that, Lin Qi took out sweet potatoes and steak from the system and threw them to Luther, saying, “Eat it!”

nLuther understood the effects of those two foods, so he finished them in two or three bites. In an instant, the energy that he had just used up was restored.

n

n

n“What?”

nAt that moment, Luther was almost regenerated to full health, and the big guy seemed to be unable to do keep up because he had just used up most of his energy.

nLuther did not give the big guy a chance to recover. He knocked him to the ground, pressed the greatsword against his neck, and shouted at Terry, “Stinky old man, tell your men to get lost, or I’ll kill him!”

nThat was the first time Terry had been threatened by an outsider. Although his power was far more than meets the eye, he was helpless in today’s situation.

nAt that moment, a golden ray of light shot onto Luther’s greatsword, and the greatsword was instantly sent flying more than ten meters away.

n“Who is it?”

nEveryone looked in the direction where the golden ray of light came from. Then, everyone was so scared that their legs were trembling.

n“The… The city lord?”

nAmong them, the most panicked one was old man Terry.

nThe city lord had gone out to do some business those past few days so he dared to act lawlessly in Black Wind Castle. However, he had not known that the city lord had come back early today to issue a mission to the trial participants..
