2217: C2217 A Night of Confrontation

C2217 A Night of Confrontation

Qu Ning was forced to swallow his words, but he didn't leave. Instead, he explained how he helped Jiang Ting see if the food was poisoned.

It was probably a silver needle. It was a silver-white needle anyway, but it definitely wasn't silver …. She dabbed at each dish with what might have been silver needles.

Well, it didn't change color, and there were no other changes.

"Use poison... "It can't be?" Jiang Tingze jumped away honestly with a look of disbelief on his face.

Qu Ning stared at the silver needle for a while before whispering, "It wasn't poisoned."

"I'm scared to death." After he finished speaking, Jiang Ting started to eat again.

Let's go." Although he really wanted to stay and eat with her, her three senior brothers were outside.

When they were outside, Qu Ning complained in a low voice, "Senior Brother, why did you agree to let that waiter bring the food in? What if the food is poisonous? At that time, Brother Jiang will die in our place."

Shi Qianshan shook his head, "The people at the inn won't be that foolish."

Qu Ning was stunned. "Then you said you can't eat the food in the inn..."

"Definitely not."

After he finished speaking, Shi Qianshan shook his head, "There are some poisons that are difficult to detect. Forget about others, there are at least many poisons that cause one's elemental energy to be wasted. Jiang Ting is something ordinary people can eat, but if we eat it, we might not be able to completely remove the elemental energy within our bodies."

After that, Shi Qianshan sighed, "Furthermore, we didn't bring much dry food at all. Even if we gave all of it to Jiang Ting, he wouldn't be able to eat for more than a few days. When the time comes, he will still have to eat at the inn."

"So that's how it is." "I understand."

As for Shi Qianshan, his gaze swept across the room and his eyes turned cold … He had several reasons that he did not mention, one of which was that he did not eat the things in the tavern, so even if someone was poisoned to death, it would only be Jiang Ting who would die from the poison.

Perhaps Qu Ning hadn't noticed it, but how could Shi Qianshan not have noticed it? As long as Jiang Ting was involved, Qu Ning would start complaining to him nonstop. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want to cause more conflict, he would have just killed Jiang Ting with a single slash!

Inside the room. Jiang Ting was eating happily.

Poison? Before he ate, he really didn't know if these dishes were poisonous, but after eating, he found out that the food really wasn't poisoned.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Jiang Ting started to rest again.

Very soon, night fell once more. The inn had dared to deliver dinner before the last rays of the setting sun, but it was just as harmless.

Tonight, the moon was bright and the stars sparse. The gentle moonlight sprinkled the heaven and earth.

Jiang Ting stood at the door and looked up at the sky. The moon is so bright today.

"I think so."

As for Qu Yun and Shi Qianshan, they paid no attention to Jiang Ting and quietly began to be vigilant.

Jiang Ting didn't mind... However, he secretly shook his head. He did not have much hope that the four of them would be able to persevere.

They didn't have any time to rest.

Furthermore, the four of them would be tense during the day and night. It was still okay after a day or two … At most four or five days, He Niu and Qu Ning would not have much energy left. After seven or eight days, Qu Yun and Shi Qianshan would also be severely lacking in spirit.

As for Yan Da … Jiang Ting didn't think that Yan Da could recover in just ten days.

A moment later.

Jiang Ting blinked his eyes, then howled: "Murder is about to happen..."

The door was instantly closed with a "bang".0

The four of them were alarmed by Jiang Ting's shout and raised their heads. They saw that, without them knowing when, a lot of black-clothed men had appeared on the roofs surrounding the garden. They were all holding sharp blades in their hands.

However, those men in black didn't go near the yard. They just surrounded the yard quietly.

Shi Qian Shan subconsciously gripped the cloud in his hand tightly … With a Divine Weapon in hand, no matter how many people came, he had the confidence to kill them all! If it was during the day, he wouldn't have spoken words to belittle Jiang Ting. But now, he didn't have the time to mock him. The most important thing was to be vigilant.

Many of the black-clothed people were perhaps also afraid of the cloud in his hand. Hence, they did not rashly enter the courtyard like they did on the first day. Instead, they just surrounded it and did not attack it.

Tonight in Nine River Town, it was not dark. Under the moonlight, there was even some light.

Many faintly discernible black-clothed people stood in the four corners of the inn's courtyard as they silently confronted Qu Yun and the rest. None of them made the first move, and even more did not retreat.

In the room.

Jiang Ting glanced through the crack in the door and shook his head... He had originally thought that tonight would be another night where they would face each other head-on, but now it didn't seem like it.

If nothing unexpected happened, unless there was an extremely strong person presiding over it, the two sides would probably confront each other for the rest of the night until dawn.

Since there was nothing exciting to watch, then let's sleep.

… ….

Time flew. Star Shift. Eight days slowly passed.

During these eight days, the first night was as Jiang Ting had guessed. They did not fight against each other, and the rest of the seven days and nights were filled with blood.

In just seven days, at least three hundred people had died in the tavern!

It was worth mentioning that, for the time being, not a single one of Qu Yun's party of four had died. However, they had all suffered injuries of different sizes, and of course, those injuries weren't too serious.

The main reason was that the Flowing Cloud Sword was too sharp, no matter how the person attacked, nothing could stop the Flowing Cloud Sword. Whether it was Shi Qian Shan or Qu Yun, as long as the Flowing Cloud Sword was in their hands, it was like a ruthless flesh reaper, killing countless people.

Even on the first bloody day, Flowing Cloud had been exposed for a full nine days. Based on Qu Yun and the rest's calculations, the support from the Blood Slaughter House would arrive soon.

As for Jiang Ting … He had never felt much at all. Every day, he would eat the food prepared by the inn, and at night, he would sleep peacefully.

At this moment, it was midnight of the same day.

Tonight, the silver moon hung high in the sky.

Jiang Ting didn't sleep today. He moved the bench to the door and sat on it to watch the show. Luckily, he closed the door and watched through the crack of the door. Otherwise, if the rest of them saw Jiang Ting being so relaxed, they might have attacked him first out of anger.

The last day!

Qu Yun and the rest of the four, whether they could survive or not, all depended on tonight.

However, Jiang Ting didn't think that the four of them would survive. Even Yan Da, who was recuperating in the attic, would die.

Although the previous nine days were quite bloody, Jiang Ting could tell that no many experts had acted. The strongest among them was at least at the level of Qu Yun and the rest of them, and there were no more than ten of them each time.

From Jiang Ting's point of view, this was more like consumption of energy. Some of Nine River Town's underground powers were using unspecialized characters to consume Qu Yun and the rest's strength. He was not sure if this was true, after all …
