Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 600 - 599: Sunset Three Laughs
CHAPTER 600: CHAPTER 599: SUNSET THREE LAUGHS
The blade was incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through hair as it floated in the breeze.
It was placed right in front of Lin Hao, seemingly mocking him.
Meanwhile, everyone inside the inn was watching this direction, many sneering continuously, while others seemed to regret letting the burly man take the lead.
"What, looks like you want me to make a move?" The burly man sneered, "Do you know who I am? If I have to make a move..."
"Ahahaha!! Haha!"
Before the burly man could finish his words, suddenly, from outside the inn, a long laugh was heard.
The laugh was heart-pounding and chilling, as if lifting one’s heart and placing it on the edge of a precipitous cliff.
The robust laughter carried an indescribable killing intent.
Almost subconsciously, everyone turned their heads to look outside, even the burly man who was about to chop Lin Hao’s head froze and looked outside.
From the Desert, a lonely trail of smoke; across the long river, the sun sets in full circle.
Outside the inn, the sun was setting, and beneath the afterglow of the sunset, far away, two people were seen fighting.
No, the fight had already ended.
At that moment, there was only a swordsman in a Bitter Realm robe, with his long hair flailing wildly, standing amidst the desolate Gobi. A hundred steps opposite him stood another person.
A dead person.
The person was dead, the headless body still standing, with blood spurting wildly like a fountain.
At that moment, people noticed a head descending from the sky above the headless corpse.
The head belonged to that headless corpse.
It had just been chopped off not long ago.
The ferocious move sent his head soaring into the sky.
The blade was ruthless!
And equally swift!
The head flew off, yet the body still stood, maintaining a defensive posture.
However, the defense was useless, for his body and head were already separated.
"Thud!"
The head fell, rolling on the ground, and only then did the headless body crash down.
"Hahaha!"
The laughter was prolonged and heart-pounding.
This was just a common fight in the Martial World, nothing unusual.
But inside the inn, most people’s faces changed.
Even the burly man standing next to Lin Hao, who wanted to kill Lin Hao, changed his color, his eyes staring blankly.
"It’s him!"
"Sunset Three Laughs!"
"Among the Three Laughs, a head must fall!"
"It is said that at every sunset, he beheads a person. For three hundred years, it has never ceased a day."
Someone whispered softly.
Clearly, the swordsman outside was a ruthless and famous figure.
"He... is coming over!"
In the distance, under the setting sun, the swordsman with a large blade on his back, his hair flying wildly, approached step by step like a Heavenly Demon.
For a moment, the air inside the inn tensed, many even shaking uncontrollably.
"Why fear, he has already killed someone today, he won’t kill again."
Suddenly, someone reassured.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and the world seemed much more relaxed in an instant.
For over three hundred years, every sunset he would kill one person, a pattern that never broke nor changed.
Still, despite this, everyone inside the inn kept their eyes glued outside, watching the swordsman drawing closer step-by-step.
When he entered, not to mention the Emperor-level experts filling the inn, even those close to reaching the Great Emperor level stepped aside.
This was a Super Emperor Level swordsman, possessing Supreme Battle Skills, incomparable to ordinary people, and even many Emperors of Empires were no match for these wandering Great Emperors.
The Swordsman walked in, and the inn fell silent.
However, the Swordsman seemed to not notice the crowd inside, walking straight towards Lin Hao’s table, surprisingly choosing it out of all the tables.
Lin Hao’s table was the only one with empty seats.
"Is this seat taken?"
Sunset Three Laughs came over, glanced at Lin Hao without any change in expression, not treating him like a treasure unlike the others upon seeing that Lin Hao was from Earth.
His tone was calm, yet filled with authority.
"No."
Lin Hao was quite relaxed and didn’t feel frightened or anything.
It was the burly man who wanted Lin Hao to impale himself on his sword who got scared, instantly drawing his blade and leaving without a word.
It’s unavoidable; some confrontations are just not worth the risk.
Although Sunset Three Laughs kills a person every sunset and then abstains from killing afterwards, nobody dares to provoke such a being.
Such a person, who had killed for hundreds of years and made many enemies, had even been hunted in the Martial World, yet he survived.
Now, no one from the Martial World wants to kill him to rid the area of harm, instead, they all avoid him from afar.
If it weren’t for the encounter in this inn today and the rumored impending sandstorm, many people would have left this place.
The inn was utterly quiet, no one spoke.
Sunset Three Laughs also remained silent, sitting on his own, ignoring everything and everyone around, not taking another glance or speaking another word to Lin Hao.
"He’s here?"
Soon, the waiter came out with a big basket of food, saw Sunset Three Laughs sitting opposite Lin Hao, and quickly greeted him with a smile.
"Mhm."
Sunset Three Laughs finally uttered another word.
"Here’s your dry food. You might as well stay a few days here; the sandstorm is coming tonight, not even a Great Emperor could survive in it." The waiter cheerfully placed the dry food in front of Lin Hao.
Dry food isn’t the most sumptuous meal, but it’s enough to fill the stomach.
Lin Hao didn’t mind, storing everything into his Storage Ring.
"Alright. I’ll stay then."
Since everyone said so, Lin Hao wasn’t someone oblivious to changes; perhaps the sandstorm was indeed fierce.
"Alright."
The waiter smiled even broader, then turned to Sunset Three Laughs: "Are you staying as well? What would you like to eat?"
"Anything."
Really sparing with words, only a brief reply.
"Alright, just a moment." The waiter walked away happily, seemingly oblivious to the eerie atmosphere in the inn.
Sunset Three Laughs was like a motionless clay statue, not moving a muscle after sitting down. If not for visually confirming, one might not even realize there was another being there.
Meanwhile, Lin Hao was eating his own meal.
The meal was just some dry food, odd assortments, nothing tasty really.
But there were many eyes surreptitiously watching him.
Though Sunset Three Laughs remained silent, others didn’t dare to speak either.
In their eyes, since Sunset Three Laughs chose to sit at Lin Hao’s table, perhaps he was interested in Lin Hao’s head.
Furthermore, Sunset Three Laughs being here might also be attracted by the Heavenly Descending Divine Artifact.
This time, it seems too many significant individuals have been alerted, and the nature of the Heavenly Descending Divine Artifact remains unknown, with even a God of Killing showing up.
However, God of Killing or not, there are still those who don’t believe in curses.
Sunset Three Laughs remained motionless and silent, not appearing like he intended to kill Lin Hao.
He was quickly as if forgotten despite his notorious reputation.
Someone fearless stood up, walking over.
"You, have the guts to come outside with me!" It was a demigod, not far from Lin Hao, shouting at him.
Sunset Three Laughs was untouchable, but was this Earthling not?
Sunset Three Laughs doesn’t kill Earthlings, but they would.
After all, Sunset Three Laughs couldn’t be completely unreasonable, right?
