Chapter 309 - 249, Big Fire
"Chop him down!"
Xiao Wu had a busy night. First he was reprimanded by the Shopkeeper, then he had to grab a kitchen knife and personally chop down a Dancing Girl who had been intimate with him at the neighbor’s Red Sleeves, splattering blood all over himself.
At this moment, while still enraged, he threw the formidable Bone Knife with great force. The knife spun and buzzed in the air, heading straight for the Crown Prince’s face.
In the urgency of the moment, Li Xuan drew his sword from its scabbard, and with a deft touch on the handle of the spinning knife, his wrist gave a slight shake, causing the Bone Knife to rotate around his sword tip.
With another flick of his wrist, Li Xuan sent the Bone Knife back where it came from, straight at Xiao Wu’s chest and abdomen.
Xiao Wu, shocked and pale, arched back in a back bend, narrowly avoiding the Bone Knife as it whizzed past the tip of his nose.
With a thud, the Bone Knife embedded itself in the wooden board outside the counter, its handle still trembling incessantly.
"What the hell!" Xiao Wu cursed.
But the Shopkeeper chided him without sympathy: "Get out of the way and stop making a fool of yourself here."
"Oh," Xiao Wu straightened up, pulled his own kitchen knife from the counter and, along with Xiao Liu, retreated to the Shopkeeper’s side.
The Shopkeeper first sized up Li Xuan; his effortless Swordsmanship had certainly been dazzling. But even more eye-catching than his swordplay was the young man standing next to Li Xuan, who wore a white robe with flowing sleeves, his hair held up by a silver crown.
