The decision was made in an instant. The thirteen men charged at the seven soldiers guarding the exit. They had no intention of fighting Li Jie—it would only mean certain death. Their only chance of escaping alive was to break through the soldiers.
A small skirmish broke out. The seven soldiers, caught off guard by the sudden attack, immediately drew their weapons and fought back.
Seeing his attackers shift their focus to the soldiers, Li Jie didn’t stay idle. He swiftly pursued them and joined the battle.
But before he could strike, he sensed a powerful attack directed at him. With quick reflexes, he raised his sword to block it.
Boom!
The clash of two immense forces sent a deafening explosion throughout the inn. The impact was so powerful that the entire building trembled.
Li Jie was pushed several steps back. He hadn’t expected such a strong attack. Tasting the saltiness of blood at the corner of his lips, he wiped it away with the back of his hand.
His sharp eyes locked onto the figure emerging from the dissipating smoke. A middle-aged man in black robes stood before him, grinning. In his hand, he held a black staff, matching his attire.
"You killed my disciples, boy! You must pay for their lives with your own!"
"They brought this upon themselves by provoking me! And you should know—you’ll meet the same fate as them!" Li Jie growled.
"Daring to speak like that before the leader of the Black Tiger Sect is a grave insult! I’ll make sure you regret it!"
With that, the man lifted his staff and spun it several times. In a single breath, he lunged forward, swinging his staff fiercely at Li Jie’s head.
Sensing the incoming danger, Li Jie immediately braced himself. He raised his sword to block the strike.
The impact forced Li Jie back once again, but within a second, he countered with his strongest technique.
"Demon-Slaying Light Sword!" he roared.
The sect leader was caught off guard. He hadn’t expected the young man to retaliate so quickly.
"Don’t think you can defeat me!"
The Black Tiger Sect leader charged forward, his black staff whistling through the air as he met Li Jie’s attack head-on.
A fierce battle erupted. The clash of internal energy surged through the room as the two fighters exchanged deadly blows.
Li Jie leaped into the air, spinning twice to evade a sweeping strike aimed at his midsection. As he landed, another thrust came straight for his throat.
Quickly, he ducked, dodging the attack while simultaneously countering. Spotting an opening in his opponent’s stance, he aimed the tip of his sword straight at the man’s exposed abdomen.
The sect leader’s eyes widened in shock at Li Jie’s swift counter. He hurriedly pulled his staff downward to block.
But then—Li Jie suddenly withdrew his attack and sidestepped with lightning speed, slashing his sword toward the man’s neck.
Aaaakh!
Staggering backward, the sect leader clutched his throat, blood pouring from the deep gash. Seconds later, his body collapsed to the floor, lifeless.
With his enemy slain, Li Jie turned his attention to the remaining fight. The soldiers were struggling, clearly at a disadvantage. Without hesitation, he launched himself into the fray, swiftly cutting down several opponents at once.
It didn’t take long before the skirmish ended. All thirteen attackers lay lifeless. However, two soldiers had also fallen, their bodies bearing fatal sword wounds.
The five surviving soldiers eyed Li Jie warily. Of the thirteen attackers, seven had been killed by him alone.
"Sir, can you explain what just happened? Who were these men?" one soldier asked politely, careful not to offend the warrior before him.
"That’s what I should be asking. Why is this capital city unsafe for travelers like me? Earlier today, six men ambushed me. And now you’ve seen for yourselves—more bodies!" Li Jie replied, his tone sharp.
The five soldiers exchanged uncertain glances.
"Apologies, sir. But have you had any conflicts with someone in this city before?"
Li Jie shook his head. "I haven’t caused trouble with anyone since arriving here."
The soldier scratched his head, puzzled. If Li Jie had no prior disputes, then why had he been attacked twice in a single day?
One soldier took the initiative to inspect the fallen middle-aged man. His eyes widened in shock when he recognized the corpse.
"Hao Zun ..." he muttered.
After confirming the man’s death, he returned to his fellow soldiers.
"They were from the Black Tiger Sect. And that man was their leader."
"Yes... before he died, he claimed to be the Black Tiger Sect’s leader," Cheng Hao added.
The other four soldiers were just as stunned. They knew well that the Black Tiger Sect was highly respected due to Hao Zun'ss formidable skills. Their admiration for Li Jie grew.
"In that case... How about you come with us to Master Cheng Hao’s residence? We’re worried something else might happen if you stay at this inn," the soldier suggested.
Li Jie didn’t answer immediately. He turned toward his room after hearing approaching footsteps.
"Are you alright, Li Jie? Did you get hurt?" Mei Lian asked. The fear she had felt earlier was gone now that their attackers lay dead.
"I’m fine. Oh, by the way, this soldier invited us to stay at Master Cheng Hao’s residence. What do you think?"
"I think it’s a good idea. I’m afraid something like this will happen again if we stay here," Mei Lian replied.
"Alright. Pack our things first—I need to speak with the soldier."
Mei Lian nodded and returned to the room to gather their belongings.
"I have a question. Why were you here tonight?" Li Jie asked, suspicion lacing his voice. The soldiers had arrived almost at the same time as the attackers.
"You can ask Master Cheng Hao about that later, sir. But rest assured, we have no ill intentions toward you. I stake my life on it," the soldier replied firmly.
"Very well. I’ll trust you, soldier. But if anything happens to us, it won’t just be your head on the line—it’ll be all of yours." Li Jie shot a sharp glance at the other four soldiers, making them lower their heads in fear.
"You may take my life if I lie. Let’s go," the soldier responded, seeing that Mei Lian had finished packing.
After a short walk, they arrived at Cheng Hao’s residence. A soldier entered first to prepare a room for them.
"In the morning, I will report tonight’s attack to Master Cheng Hao. He’s resting now, and I fear disturbing him would anger him."
Li Jie nodded in understanding, then glanced around the large house.
Soon, the soldier returned. "Your room is ready, sir."
He led the way, with Li Jie and Mei Lian following behind.
Inside the spacious room, they immediately lay down. Yet despite closing their eyes, the night’s events kept them from falling asleep.
"Li Jie... You’re a warrior, and warriors are always close to bloodshed. After thinking it over, I must learn to accept the sight of blood and corpses if I am to stay by your side."
Li Jie opened his eyes at Mei Lian’s words. "That’s my life, Mei Lian. But I don’t want you to become a warrior like me."
"Why?" she asked, surprised.
"Because it’s my duty to protect you. I just want you to be a good mother to my children one day," he answered without hesitation.
Like a bolt of lightning, Mei Lian’s heart swelled with joy at his words. She turned to embrace him, but he stopped her.
"Don’t tempt me, Mei Lian. You said we’d wait until after we’re married, remember?"
Blushing, Mei Lian smiled shyly. "Sorry, Li Jie. I was just too happy."
"I know. I can see it in your face—it’s as red as a boiled crab, hahaha!"
Mei Lian quickly covered her face with a pillo
w in embarrassment.
"Let’s get some sleep. We have to meet Master Cheng Hao in the morning. There are things I need to ask him."

Question from Mei Lian
The innkeeper woman was confused by the behavior of her two guests."Wait a minute, beautiful girl... So, he's not your husband? Is he your lover?""Neither. That's why we booked two rooms," Mei Lian replied."What about you, handsome young man? Should I write down two rooms?""Whatever, Auntie! As long as we get a discount," Li Jie replied."Oh, I see. If you're really not this beautiful girl's husband or lover, then doesn't that mean this beautiful auntie here has a chance? You see, I'm a young widow who's been alone for a long time since my husband passed away. If you marry me, this inn could be yours."Li Jie rubbed his eyes repeatedly before closing them."What's wrong? Do your eyes hurt?""I think I just heard a voice. But why don't I see anyone?"
