Blowing Wind Swordmanship

After dinner Meng Hao sat cross-legged on his bed to do some breathing exercises while Xu Yuan asked permission to go sightseeing. Meng Hao was used to seeing Xu Yuan sleeping only a few hours every day. Xu Yuan said it was one of his habits from long ago.

Previously when Xu Yuan saw that this Beautiful Peacock Inn wasn't crowded with visitors, he breathed a sigh of relief because he thought that the events that took place in his previous life might not have happened tonight, that's why he was able to eat voraciously.

It's just that after dinner, he felt uncomfortable. Even though it was already dark, it could be said that the night was still young and the possibility of something happening was still great. That was why Xu Yuan chose to go down to the ground floor to observe the situation.

The ground floor of the Inn looks like a tavern, there are several tables and chairs to sit and enjoy a meal. Xu Yuan then found one The previously empty table was now occupied by a man who looked to be in his 30s with red hair and a sword blatantly on his back.

The red-haired man was not alone but was holding a baby who was crying loudly.

"You don't have milk?" The red-haired man asked the maid, a worried look on his face as he looked at the baby in his arms.

"Ah, we don't provide drinks like that..." The waiter looked confused and she was also worried that the baby's cries would disturb the guests staying overnight.

The waiter wanted to drive the red-haired man away but seeing the man's stature who was so fierce and also seemed to be a Martial Artist made her not dare to do so.

Xu Yuan walked over to the red-haired man before climbing onto one of the chairs. The red-haired man was confused by Xu Yuan's attitude.

"Boy, what are you doing?" the man's voice became softer, although he had a rough face but his demeanor was quite gentle with children.

Xu Yuan didn't answer but started to play with his facial expressions on the baby, seeing Xu Yuan's ridiculous attitude, the baby slowly stopped crying and even started laughing.

"Good Child…" Xu Yuan stroked the baby's head gently, that's when he realized that the baby's body temperature was very low.

The red-haired man was at a loss as to how to react but he thanked Xu Yuan. The man felt that Xu Yuan was a smart kid.

"Uncle, this baby is feeling so cold, he needs not only a warm drink but also thicker clothes." Xu Yuan explained before looking at the maid next to him, "Isn't one of the inn workers a mother? Please ask for his help to give milk to this little baby"

The waiter was taken aback by Xu Yuan's question, but she soon realized one of the waiter in this place could indeed breastfeed this little baby.

Not long after the maid in question came and did not mind to breastfeed the baby.

"Thank you…" The red-haired man gave a few coins to the maid who was nursing the baby, Xiao Chen knew that the amount of money was not small for an inn maid.

"Smart boy, thank you for helping uncle…" The man then looked at Xu Yuan and had a look of admiration in his eyes, "What's your name?"

"Uncle, my name is Xu Yuan."

The man patted Xu Yuan on the shoulder lightly, "Nice name… Uncle's name is…"

"Xiao Qi! We've come for your head!"

Before the red-haired man had finished speaking, someone kicked the inn's door and shouted loudly. The red-haired man's face turned to anger.

"Xiao Qi you think you can escape after killing one of the higher-ups of the Ferocious Centipede Group?!"

A group of people entered the inn, their number was nearly twenty and everyone was carrying weapons such as swords, machetes and spears. All of them gave off a large, murderous aura and aimed at the red-haired man.

The inn waiter became so frightened while Xu Yuan looked calm. The red-haired man Xiao Qi noticed Xu Yuan's composure and was quite impressed.

"Xiao Qi? Why is this name familiar?" When he heard the people entering the inn addressing the red-haired man as Xiao Qi, Xu Yuan felt like he had heard it but couldn't remember.

One thing that Xu Yuan understood was that what happened to this inn in his previous life was related to this Xiao Qi. What made Xu Yuan still calm was that he could judge that the dozen or so people who had entered this inn did not possess high martial arts skills and were no match for Meng Hao.

"My worries earlier seemed unfounded…" Xu Yuan thought as he slowly shook his head.

"Little Yuan, Can uncle ask for your help?"

The waiter who had previously breastfed the baby had already fled after handing the tiny baby back in Xiao Qi's arms. Xu Yuan understood the help Xiao Qi wanted from him was to look after the little baby.

Xu Yuan held the little baby in his tiny hands before walking away from the place that would soon become a battlefield.

The smile on Xiao Qi's face disappeared and he released a powerful murderous aura from his body, making it difficult for those who felt it to breathe.

"You guys have come here, there's no need to think about going home again." Xiao Qi drew his sword and looked at the armed group before him. The people who had previously released that murderous aura were now trembling, realizing that they were no match for Xiao Qi despite being victorious in numbers.

Those people cursed Xu Yuan in their hearts, as far as they knew Xiao Qi was traveling with a baby who would definitely making it difficult to fight with large numbers of enemies. To think that someone would be willing to help Xiao Qi look after the baby.

"Take the baby away from the little brat, Xiao Qi's weakness is the baby..." one person whispered to the other.

"Don't think I'll let you guys do that." Xiao Qi had keen hearing so he could hear the whispers, without hesitation he charged forward with his sword.

Xu Yuan watched the battle from quite a distance while trying to comfort the baby he was carrying.

"Yuan'er, what happened?"

Xu Yuan looked up and found Meng Hao have leaving his room after hearing a commotion on the ground floor, Meng Hao jumped from the second floor and landed next to him. Meng Hao was surprised to see Xu Yuan holding a baby.

"Master…" Xu Yuan briefly explained the situation to Meng Hao.

Meng Hao nodded slowly, then looked at the battle that was taking place not far from where he was standing. In such a short period of time, half the people who had tried to attack Xiao Qi had already fallen on the ground, lifeless. Meng Hao could see that Xiao Qi was a high-level Martial Artist whose martial arts skills were even above him.

"Yuan'er, did that Uncle mention his name?"

"Those people call that red-haired uncle by the name Xiao Qi."

"Xiao Qi?!" Meng Hao looked so surprised when he heard that.

Meng Hao now understood, Xiao Qi could have wiped out all of them in three moves but he tried to kill all his opponents in a neat manner, so that not much blood came out of the enemy's body.

Meng Hao felt that Xiao Qi did all that because Xu Yuan witnessed the battle.

Even though Xiao Qi finished his battle by trying to make it less bloody, a fishy smell immediately filled the air and soon the smell of corpses would surely fill the inn.

Xiao Qi sheathed back his sword, he then saw Meng Hao who was wearing a mask beside Xu Yuan.

"Senior Xiao…" Meng Hao saluted Xiao Qi, "My name is Meng Hao, a member of the Fallen Sword Sect."

"Jade Faced Swordsman?" Xiao Qi raised his eyebrows.

"It is an honor for Senior Xiao to have heard of me." Meng Hao smiled gently.

Xu Yuan then introduced Meng Hao as his Master to Xiao Qi. Xu Yuan realized the two's thoughts were more centered on him undisturbed after seeing the bloody battle in front of him.

"It turns out that little Yuan is from the Fallen Sword Sect, it seems that in a few years your sect will have another great swordsman." Xiao Qi laughed loudly praising Xu Yuan.

"Senior Lin is too praising." Meng Hao nodded slowly.

Xu Yuan was still confused as to why this inn was in ruins if it turned out that the fight was just like this. Seeing Xiao Qi's ability, though even fighting with a baby will still be able to finish off all his opponents without significant difficulty.

"Uncle Xiao…" Xu Yuan intended to return the baby he was carrying to Xiao Qi.

Xu Yuan himself was still confused as to why he couldn't remember such a great hero as Xiao Qi from his previous life.

"Little Yuan, it seems like uncle will have to ask for your help a little longer…" After Xiao Qi finished saying that, three other people entered the inn.

Xu Yuan frowned, he could see these three figures were formidable Martial Artists whose strength was equal to or slightly below Meng Hao's. On the clothes worn by the three, there is a large centipede symbol.

"Xiao Qi! You think you can stay alive after killing our brother?!" one of the three pointed at Xiao Qi.

"Ah, I thought I could only kill one of the four vicious centipede generals, you bringing yourselves here so I don't have to bother hunting you down." Xiao Qi smiled broadly before drawing back his sword.

"Yuan'er, stand behind Master…" Meng Hao told Xu Yuan to take cover behind him.

Xu Yuan complied, he realized that even if Xiao Qi had high martial arts skills, he might not be able to withstand the movements of the three easily. Seeing the presence of these three people, Xu Yuan only understood why this inn had become a ruin in his previous life.

If Xiao Qi fought against three people of this level while carrying a baby, he would definitely have a lot of trouble and even get seriously injured even if he managed to finish off all three of his opponents.

"This place is too cramped, how about we fight outside the inn?" Xiao Qi asked.

"Why should we obey your will?!" After saying that one of the three immediately charged forward with a whip.

Xiao Qi greeted the attack without any fear, another one wielding a machete also attacked Xiao Qi while the remaining one with a spear gun dashed towards Meng Hao and Xu Yuan were there.

Xiao Qi wanted to try to stop him but the other two people used their all to restrain him.

The three realized that they were no match for Xiao Qi in a fair fight, they knew Xiao Qi was carrying a baby who was his weakness.

"Yuan'er, take this opportunity to take a look at the martial arts of the Fallen Sword Sect…" Meng Hao smiled gently before advancing towards the spear-wielding enemy.

"How dare you interfere in the affairs of the vicious centipedes group!" The spear-wielding man charged fiercely.

Meng Hao wiggled his sword to ward off all of the spear strikes at once using a nimble footstep technique. The fight between the two can be said to be even.

Xu Yuan's view was slightly different, although Meng Hao looked equal to his opponent but actually Meng Hao was far superior. Meng Hao was only 22 years old now while his opponent was almost 50 years old, so it could be seen that Meng Hao was far more talented than his opponent.

Xu Yuan held his breath, it felt like it had been so long since he had last seen Meng Hao's swordplay. The sword technique that Meng Hao used was so agile and had many forms, this technique was called Blowing Wind Swordsmanship, one of the sword techniques he still used even when he was nicknamed the Sword Saint.

Without Xu Yuan noticing, his tears fell at the sight of Meng Hao's swordplay.

Once again Xu Yuan swore in his heart to treat Meng Hao no matter what.
