Bab 9: Chapter 7 : Beggar Li

Watching the Guards behavior, people began to curse him. "What's wrong with him?, this is a clear case of fearing the strong and bullying the weak!" A merchant couldn't stand the scene and berated the Guard.

""" Yes!""" The crowd agreed in unison.

"Pui! Coward" this time it was a lady who spat towards the floor before dishing out an insult as well.

At this time, the Xu family carriage suddenly slowed down. This startled the Guard, so he decided to show off a bit as he thought whoever was in the carriage must have been angered by the crowds utterances.

"What?! You all must be tired of living!! Who Dares!!I dare you to utter a word". He began to shout at the top of his lungs. Sui!!!...Crash!!!

A wine keg suddenly flew across the air before shattering on the Guard's heard, sending him flying by over 6 meters.

" Tch!...So noisy!!!" A groggy voice sounded out from a huge pile of haystack, as what looked like a corpse crawled out of the pile. with wide open eyes the crowd look at this elderly man who was tired of living as though to register his figure into their mind.

"Fuck!...can't this old man slee...hmm?", only now did this person notice the scene and was stunned at the crowd.

"Ah! its already morning!!!" He Exclaimed, this statement made people shake their heads for him, mourning his demise as the guards would never let him be. Meanwhile, within the carriage Xu Yun's eyes were glowing!! "Beggar Li!".

"koof!! koff!! koff! w...WHO!!!" The fallen Guard suddenly screamed, the crowd only just remembered the one who had been sent flying. He was bleeding from the back of his head with dust all over his body and his upper part of his attire besides his armor were in tatters from the friction with the ground, in fact he looked really pitiful. this made people wonder just how much force were on the wine keg!!, but the guard didn't think of that. instead he was angered to the point he had coughed blood. just when he wanted to prove himself to the Xu family member, he was turned to this by a beggar no less!!, utter HUMILIATION!!! a Slap in the face. As a cultivator with the cultivation level of spiritually balanced he refused to believe a beggar was more powerful than him!!he won't believe it.

after all won't that mean he was no better than a beggar?.

'I'm sure it's because I was caught off guard, yes! yes! that must have been it' Enthralled in his own illusion that he was powerful, basically as he was the Guard's captain for the western gate of Chengdu, he was the strongest here so he couldn't afford to lose more face!.

"ah! were you the one that was being so noisy? I'm sorry, My mistake as i had used too much force just now. I may have had too much to drink so please forgive this old man this once eh?...why are looking at me like I killed your mother. This old man's hand only slipped a little *cough cough* as you can see, I'm just a lowly beggar " The beggar said shamelessly with an air of righteousness as he walked towards the spot the Guard had been ranting before to pick up his wine keg like nothing happened creating a very weird sight making the people speechless, even Young Master Xu who knew him, as players always complained about him was still caught unprepared that his mouth began to twitch once more.

Enraged the Guard Cursed "if I your father Lang Zhihao doesn't kill you by a thousand cuts today, I shall right my name backwards in the city registry." Saying this he closed the distance of 5m with a single step trying to catch the beggar off Guard since he still had a degree of weariness towards this old man. The beggar seemed not to have noticed any changes as he opened the keg to take a sip but somehow dodged the fist. It seemed like a coincidence rather than an actual Dodge but Xu Yun knew better, he had seen this skill before. 'Drunken fist', a player 'oneinchtothegrave' had gotten this skill set in the beggars sect school early game but he had used only this skill to occupy the 7th position in the overall ranking ever since. Everyone knew he got it from a Quest but no one knew the details as he refused to disclose any information regarding it. The only downside was that you had to be in the drunken status to use it, hence oneinch was always drunk with his toon.

As Xu Yun was having his thoughts the fight went as Lang Zhihao kept throwing out punches in a frenzied manner. But the beggar kept on being lucky that even the normal people began to notice something was wrong. He would trip, sway ,act like he was trying not to lose a drop of wine and so on till Lang Zhihao began to breathe heavily before drawing his sword from his waist.

"Die!!" He bellowed with blood shut eyes, but the beggar seemed like he was startled and also started running around raining Curses and spittle. At this point the crowd burst out laughing.

"what's wrong with you??!! I said I was sorry!!"

"Aaaargh!!!"

"How come I'm not understanding what your saying?? Was your mother a Dog in her past life??"

"AAARrrgh!!!"

"Huh?? You dare chase your grandfather with a Stick?? Haha you unfilial thing! Oh My!! its really a sword!! You!!you!! Are you trying to kill your mother's first lover??"

" Kooff!!" Lang Zhihao coughed up blood once more before looking at his colleagues, "you fools what are you doing standing there??!!!!help me catch this fiend!!!' This woke the others from their stupor before proceeding to chase the beggar. Even at that none of them even scratched his rags.

" wow!! L...hiccup! Look I found a copper coin".more laughter arose within the crowd.

All this continued for a few minutes before the beggar headed into the city with the Guards hot on his tail. The crowd cheered before flooding into the Gates, but no one dared block the carriages route.

"Uncle Chong let's go to the market" Xu yun finally said after some thinking.
