At this moment, the blood within Ye Tian seemed to be boiling. He could truly feel the surging power spreading throughout his limbs and bones.
"How could this happen?!" Ye Tianxin thought anxiously. He had experienced this feeling before when he briefly activated the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood through Xuanyuan Changfeng's help. It was fierce and unmatched.
However, Ye Tian also understood that if the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood truly awakened on its own, while his strength would surge explosively, he would also face an uncontrollable situation.
On the bed beside him, Duan Liu and Wine Kid were still unconscious. However, from their breathing, it was no longer the abnormal length but gradually returning to a normal rhythm.
It was estimated that they would wake up in less than half an hour.
Retracting his gaze from the two, Ye Tian forced himself to suppress the dizziness caused by his boiling blood and focused on sensing the situation in the inn.
It was already late at night, and everything appeared exceptionally quiet under the dark night sky. Whether it was due to this reason or the sudden awakening of the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood, under Ye Tian's focused perception, all fluctuations of Martial Origin Power within ten miles of the Square Area clearly appeared in his mind.
Starting from a distance, crossing this street to about seven miles southeast, someone was circulating Martial Origin Power within their body, likely at the level of a Three-Stage Martial Artist.
Continuing along the street for about five miles, two intense Martial Origin Powers collided; it seemed that someone was engaged in a confrontation, with strengths at mid and late stages of Four-Stage Martial Artists.
Getting closer, about four miles behind him, a presence was rushing westward at an extremely fast speed; Ye Tian couldn't even sense its strength…
These were just relatively obvious presences; there were many faint auras around as well. Those weak auras either originated from Yuan Power or were deliberately suppressed Martial Origin Powers, numbering in the hundreds.
If he got any closer, he would reach the inn where Ye Tian was located.
The inn had three floors; the third floor served as accommodations for the staff, at least from an outsider's perspective. The second floor was where Ye Tian resided, containing sixteen guest rooms. Through his perception, Ye Tian did not sense any other unrestrained Martial Origin Powers apart from those few individuals. The first floor was the front hall, where three people were drinking and chatting loudly; without needing to sense it, their voices were so loud that they had already disturbed the guests resting on the second floor.
"How many scoundrels have I cut down with this Steel Blade at my waist? Hey! More than the pigs you all have killed!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Xu Ye, we are just a bunch of pig slaughterers, how can we compare to you?"
"Exactly, so about that matter with Zhang the butcher, isn't it..."
"Leave it to me, come on, let's drink!"
Then came the sound of wine jars clinking together. It seemed this group had gotten into the spirit of drinking and were directly toasting with the jars.
From their conversation, it could be inferred that the two who were treating were local butchers. In order to compete with another butcher for business, they had unknowingly invited this Xu fellow, a Martial Practitioner. However, according to Ye Tian's analysis, this so-called "Xu Ye" probably didn't have much skill.
The Crimson Dragon Golden Blood was still boiling and moving within him. It felt as if there was an explosive power surging left and right inside Ye Tian's body. If he didn't deliberately suppress it, it might have burst out long ago.
Sweat beads as large as soybeans dripped down. Ye Tian gritted his teeth desperately; this wasn't due to pain but because controlling that Crimson Dragon Power required an immense amount of energy from him.
Fortunately, it was only exhausting energy. He could still spare some attention to observe the situation in the inn.
"This sir, our inn is about to close. Do you think..." The waiter approached to urge them along. They had more important matters to attend to and couldn't waste time waiting for this Xu Ye's endless bragging.
"Do you think your Dog Eyes Look Down on People?" Xu Ye was a burly man; at this moment, he raised his thick eyebrows and indeed exuded some imposing presence.
"No, no, we also need to rest. You see, how about this? The bill for this meal..." The waiter said as he took out a ledger from his pocket and roughly calculated before saying, "A total of seventeen taels..."
"Do you think I don't have money?" Xu Ye stood up abruptly, glaring angrily at the waiter.
"Sir, you misunderstand. What I mean is that we'll waive these seventeen taels for you. We really are closing up; would you consider finding another place..." This small amount of money could be waived by the waiter because the purpose of this inn was not for profit but rather as a lookout point for Huanggang Ridge in this area.
"Do you Innkeepers look down on me? Do you think I don't have money?" Xu Ye stood up from his seat and advanced toward the waiter, possibly having drunk too much and becoming somewhat unreasonable.
The other two were taken aback by the massacre, thinking to themselves that Xu Ye was indeed bold, not even needing to pay the bill. However, after a moment, they realized that it was their responsibility to settle the account. So, the two hurried forward, trying to persuade Xu Ye to leave.
On the surface, the waiter appeared to be just a waiter, but deep down he was also a ruthless character. Usually, he would endure some humiliation from customers, but today was different; he had important business to attend to and had no time to waste on idle chatter.
"Sir, you should leave quickly; we are really closing," the waiter said coldly, his dagger slipping quietly from his sleeve. This was his last attempt at persuasion.
"Damn it!" Xu Ye had a violent temper. The waiter's repeated attempts at persuasion infuriated him, and at this moment, he could no longer hold back and raised his hand to strike the waiter.
"Go to hell!" The waiter’s hostility surged as he saw this. The fierce aura he had been hiding erupted forth as he gripped the dagger tightly. With a swift motion, a stream of red splattered out.
Xu Ye fell in response, and the two butchers stared in shock. The bodyguard they had hired for a hefty sum was no match for a mere waiter...
Moments later, the two realized that things were not looking good. This waiter dared to kill with just a few words; this establishment was likely...
Before they could finish their thoughts, the daggers had already pierced their hearts and temples. The two butchers collapsed with a thud. The waiter spat in anger and then ordered someone to clean up the scene.
On the second floor, in a guest room, Ye Tian quietly absorbed everything that had just happened. From the moment the waiter drew his dagger, Ye Tian had fully grasped his strength.
Late Stage of Fourth Rank Martial Master; however, he had managed to kill three people in an extremely short amount of time. It seemed that his skills in dagger techniques were quite formidable as well.
A moment later, the three bodies were dealt with. Ye Tian wasn't sure where they were taken, but if he were an ordinary guest, he imagined that fresh meat buns would taste quite different tomorrow morning.
"The innkeeper is ready," came the waiter's voice along with the sound of footsteps. There weren't many of them—probably only about twenty—judging by their aura; their strength ranged between First-Stage Martial Artist and Third-Stage Martial Artist.
They likely thought that Ye Tian and his companions were poisoned and unconscious since this group of villains showed no restraint in their murderous intent. The atmosphere was thick with malice, causing the roof to tremble.
Ye Tian withdrew his Divine Consciousness; at this point, there was no need for further perception because it seemed that the innkeeper had already given orders. The sound of hurried and chaotic footsteps echoed up the stairs.
Crimson Dragon Golden Blood continued to surge violently through his body. After some time of adaptation and analysis, Ye Tian began to understand the source of the anomaly in Crimson Dragon Golden Blood.
Since coming into contact with the Chill within Yun'er, his body had experienced this kind of sign countless times from the beginning of their journey until now. However, at first, Ye Tian did not pay much attention to it. It was only after lying down a moment ago that Crimson Dragon Golden Blood finally erupted.
Ye Tian shook his head helplessly, realizing that this abnormality was not due to the awakening of Crimson Dragon Golden Blood, but rather a side effect left behind by the extreme cold energy.
Clatter, clatter, clatter...
The inn's floor was made of wood, and the footsteps of several ruffians could be heard clearly without any attempt to suppress them. They finally stopped about ten feet away from Ye Tian's door.
"You guys go over there." The voice was somewhat Dark Cloud, suggesting that the speaker must be quite overweight.
As soon as the words were spoken, the footsteps sounded again, heading towards Yun'er and Cold Moon's room. Besides the footsteps, there were faint sounds of excited smacking lips.
"Chen Jiu, open the door."
After the Dark Cloud voice, Ye Tian sensed that someone with mid-level strength among A First-Stage Martial Artist was approaching the door.
"Uh..."
At that moment, Wine Kid suddenly stretched out in a big yawn, slowly opening his drowsy eyes while pushing away Duan Liu's thigh that was pressing down on him.
Duan Liu, pushed by Wine Kid, also woke up, mumbling something incomprehensible. He seemed either reluctant to leave a beautiful dream or still saddened by memories of that bitch Luo Shanshan.
In a small room hidden on the third floor of the inn, Watcher suddenly exclaimed, "Quick! Go notify the Innkeeper, they are awake!"
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Jiu had already pushed the door open.
Bang!
A golden light flickered in the copper mirror, followed by the image of the previously pained expression of the young boy rushing forward, Chen Jiu was sent flying by a punch.
Chen Jiu rebounded and crashed straight into the opposite building, and with the sound of shattering doors, his figure appeared in another copper mirror.
Watcher stared in shock at the scene before him. Each guest room had an independent Copper Ball for surveillance, and even the opposite guest room was a full five zhang away. That boy's punch sent Chen Jiu flying a distance of five zhang, ultimately breaking through the door; no wonder Innkeeper valued him so highly.
"What happened?!" Wine Kid and Duan Liu instantly woke up from their daze, still somewhat confused by the sudden situation.
"Didn't you want to fight? Here's your chance," Ye Tian turned to Wine Kid, smiling.
Before Wine Kid could respond, a loud shout came from Yun'er's room, three guest rooms away, followed by a scream; it was clear that a fight had already broken out.
"Kill them!"
After a brief moment of shock outside the door, Dark Cloud roared in anger. Ye Tian heard the voice and stepped outside, immediately spotting the waiter charging forward with a dagger.
"Hey, has the guest woken up?" The waiter remained calm, sneering as he swung his dagger.
"Hah, I've been awake for a long time, just waiting for you all to come," Ye Tian replied with a cold smile, golden light suddenly erupting from his palm.
