Chapter 676: Fierce Clash
The Inn’s branch manager and Dreaming Cloud restrained themselves, refraining from causing earth-shattering destruction because if they collapsed this place and disrupted the Imperial Capital’s drainage system, the Imperial Court would not let it go lightly.
If sewage flooded back and submerged parts of the South City, the matter might reach the emperor’s ears.
Meanwhile, Qi Xuansu faced off against two Xuan-ranked Waiters of The Inn.
The Inn’s Waiters were divided into four ranks—Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow. Heaven and Earth ranks were typically branch managers or direct subordinates of The Inn’s six high-level executives, all of them Heavenly Beings. The Xuan-rank was generally Guizhen-stage Xiantian Beings.
The two Xuan-ranked Waiters who confronted Qi Xuansu were both at the Guizhen stage.
Qi Xuansu was a Heavenly Being who could stand a chance against Heavenly Beings in the Holy Xuan’s era. Thus, these two Guizhen-stage Waiters were hardly a match for him.
With a single exchange, both Xuan-ranked Waiters spat blood and were sent flying.
Qi Xuansu had not even used any Demonic Blade techniques. This was just the might of a Martial Arts Practitioner enhanced with innate qi.
Just then, someone stabbed Qi Xuansu through the abdomen from behind.
There had been no sign or warning. Yet Qi Xuansu had no reaction. There was no blood from the wound, only dissipating innate qi. At the same time, his figure began to fade, becoming increasingly translucent.
The attacker was an Earth-ranked Waiter skilled in ambush. Seeing this, his expression darkened.
