Chapter 492: Auto-Combat Talismanic Armor! Luring the Tiger From the Mountain!? The Perfectly Obedient Little Concubine!
The Taiping Inn fell silent for a moment, then a burst of noise exploded as everyone began talking at once.
Liu Jun yelped in fright. The man’s corpse was covered in blood, eyes wide open; it was utterly terrifying. Meanwhile, the innkeeper frowned, sensing something unusual.
Immediately, Li Yanchu flashed forward, appearing beside the fallen swordsman. A quick examination confirmed the man was already dead.
“Three villages in Dongyang County... slaughtered by a demon?” Li Yanchu exchanged a glance with the innkeeper.
“Did he choose to say that?” the innkeeper asked suddenly.
Li Yanchu immediately understood her meaning. Even if Dongyang County really had been attacked by a demon and entire villages truly had been wiped out, why did this swordsman just happen to run straight into this inn? And why would he blurt out that single sentence the moment he entered, only to die on the spot?
A glow flashed through Li Yanchu’s eyes.
Spirit Eyes! Qi Sight!
He sensed no signs of external manipulation. However, the man’s body was heavily eroded by baleful qi.
Only the fact that he was a skilled martial artist with internal true qi protecting his organs had kept him alive this long. A normal fighter would’ve died long before reaching the city.
No signs of mind control, Li Yanchu thought.
Still uneasy, he took out the Eight Trigrams Mirror and scanned the corpse. The mirror quickly returned its feedback: No abnormalities.
