CHAPTER 29: CHAPTER 29: I HAVE BUSINESS TO DISCUSS WITH YOUR PAVILION MASTER

Lu Xiao roughly counted, there were about forty people or so.

Every one of them was dressed in uniform black attire.

At least it looked somewhat professional.

"Where did this ignorant kid come from?" The burly man with a beard leading them carried a large saber on his shoulder, looking at Lu Xiao with extremely disdainful eyes.

Lu Xiao glanced at the bearded man, his tone still friendly, "Hello, is the Pavilion Master of White Clothes Pavilion here? I have a deal I’d like to discuss with him."

No sooner had Lu Xiao finished speaking than laughter erupted around him.

"Kid, you still dreaming?"

"Where’s this idiot from, looking for the Pavilion Master, go back home to your mommy."

"I haven’t even seen our Pavilion Master, and you think you can just meet him because you want to?"

In the front of the crowd, the bearded man’s saber fell to the ground with a thud.

Everyone instantly fell silent.

"Kid, spill it, how did you find out about our White Clothes Pavilion’s location? Speak up, so when grandpa chops off your head later, it’ll be done cleanly," the bearded man squinted and asked.

"Oh, Dou Haichuan told me."

When Lu Xiao mentioned Dou Haichuan, Zhou Hu was visibly stunned for a moment, his disdainful look slight receding.

"You know Hall Master Dou? Did he send you here? Do you have a letter of introduction from Hall Master Dou?" Zhou Hu asked again.

A smirk tugged at the corner of Lu Xiao’s mouth, "No letter of introduction. Besides, dead men can’t write letters, can they?"

Zhou Hu’s expression changed drastically.

What did this kid mean? Hall Master Dou is dead?

That’s impossible!

Although Dou Haichuan had nasty habits, his strength was quite formidable.

Among the various Hall Masters, Dou Haichuan’s fighting prowess was definitely top-notch. It’s said that during the last combat power test, Dou Haichuan managed to survive eight moves against those two strongmen from the Divine List.

"Tell me honestly, how did Hall Master Dou die?" Zhou Hu roared, his gaze sharp and fierce.

"I was negotiating with him in good faith for a cooperation, but he refused, so I just sent him on his way," Lu Xiao shrugged.

You can’t blame me, I was indeed sincerely looking to cooperate with Dou Haichuan from the start.

I thought since the White Clothes Pavilion deals in information, I could offer some money for you guys to help look into my background.

But Dou Haichuan just had to seek his own death, what could I do?

Zhou Hu’s brows furrowed sharply. This kid killed Dou Haichuan? What kind of background does he have?

"Be on guard!" Zhou Hu pointed his saber at Lu Xiao and shouted loudly.

If Dou Haichuan really was killed by this kid, then this kid’s strength must be no ordinary matter; they had to take him seriously.

Lu Xiao sighed with a bit of helplessness. Here we go again.

A good talk is no good, right?

"So, is your Hall Master in? If he is, go and tell him, I really just came to cooperate!"

"You killed our White Clothes Pavilion Hall Master, and you still talk about cooperation!"

"Take him down!"

At Zhou Hu’s command, the crowd charged at once.

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes and took an arrow-step forward.

Seeing Lu Xiao charging straight at him, Zhou Hu also felt his fighting spirit surge.

Being able to kill Dou Haichuan meant this kid’s strength was certainly no small feat.

Perfect, he had recently comprehended some new movements, and now he could test them out on this youngster.

"Come on!" Zhou Hu took a step forward, his waist and abdomen suddenly exerting force, twisting.

The nearly fifty-pound saber in his hand swung from below upward.

Then with a step shift, the direction of the saber changed abruptly, hacking fiercely toward Lu Xiao’s head.

Zhou Hu was quite confident in this slash.

Previously, he had strength to spare but lacked variability. However, after a long time of pondering, this slash was not only full of force but also sufficiently versatile.

He had intended to show it off in front of a Divine List big shot next time he got the chance, but he ended up using it first on this kid.

Facing the saber swung by Zhou Hu, Lu Xiao’s facial expression didn’t change in the slightest.

This Zhou Hu, at most, was about as good as Dou Haichuan.

Not interesting at all.

"Bang!" Lu Xiao’s fist accurately and unmistakably landed on the broad blade of the saber.

Zhou Hu’s mind went blank, and then he felt an unimaginable terrorizing force transmitted from the saber.

He tried to hold onto the saber, but couldn’t grip it at all.

The web between his right thumb and index finger split open instantly, and all five fingers bent backwards, snapping with a crack.

The saber, slipping from his hand, fell to the side, its previously straight blade nearly bent into an "L" shape.

Zhou Hu swallowed hard. Is this... still human?

A punch lands, and my fifty-pound saber is ruined?

"Brother! The Pavilion Master is in!" Zhou Hu was quick to react. Seeing that Lu Xiao was about to make another move, he immediately raised his hand and shouted loudly.

Lu Xiao grinned and stopped his attack.

Lucky you were quick to speak.

If you had been half a second slower, it wouldn’t have been a broken hand but a broken leg.

Seeing Zhou Hu back down, the others didn’t dare to move forward either.

Besides, this guy was too freakish, knocking out Brother Hu with one move.

Speaking of which, Zhou Hu could withstand at least five moves against a Divine List strongman, but he didn’t manage to take even a second one from this youth.

Doesn’t that mean, this youngster’s strength is even more brutal than those on the Divine List?

Damn, that’s terrifying.

Lucky I rushed in slow earlier, otherwise I’d probably be done for.

"Lead the way," Lu Xiao waved his hand.

As for whether Zhou Hu was just making a temporary compromise, or planning to take him in and then make a move, Lu Xiao didn’t care.
