Legend of Swordsman

However, Jian Wushuang felt it was unnecessary and directly declined.

Just as he was about to go downstairs, he heard a commotion in the lobby.

“Can’t take a loss, can you?” he heard someone shout. A group of men was arm-wrestling at a scattered table in the lobby.

One of them, having lost, flushed red with anger and almost started a fight.

Upon seeing this, Wang Lun frowned and immediately went downstairs to intervene.

He addressed the burly man who had shouted, “Brother, please forgive our poor hospitality today. It was my subordinate’s fault for being petty!”

After speaking, he glared at his trusted aide.

The burly man, with a black face, quickly waved his hand and said, “Forget it, forget it. I came this time just to see your small dock’s strength. I don’t care about this!”

“Oh!” Wang Lun’s interest was piqued by the man’s words. So, this burly man was here to gauge their strength!

But to say it so bluntly, his nature seemed too straightforward.

Soon, a gentleman in white clothes stopped the burly man, politely cupped his fists at Wang Lun, and said, “My brother is a bit simple-minded. I hope Master Wang won’t take offense.”

The term “Master” referred to the head of the dock.

The leader of the small dock was naturally the Master.

Wang Lun, with his broad-minded nature, naturally did not get angry, but he also did not pay much attention to the two men. After a few polite words, he prepared to leave.

“There aren’t many good fighters at this small dock, not a single one who can fight!” the burly man muttered under his breath, causing the atmosphere to tense up again.

“What did you say, you black-faced fool?” The men from the small dock immediately stood up, their eyes filled with hostility.

The gentleman in white frowned, stepped forward, and covered the burly man’s mouth.

But it was too late.

At this point, even with Wang Lun’s broad-mindedness, he couldn’t let the burly man leave like this.

He had to find a good fighter to challenge the man.

Otherwise, they would lose face today.

Seeing this, Jian Wushuang also became interested.

Especially in the duo.

The gentleman in white looked like a cunning strategist, while the burly man seemed like a bodyguard, simple-minded but with great strength.

“Master Wang, please don’t take my brother’s drunken words seriously. I’ll have him apologize with a drink!” The gentleman in white seemed angry, but his eyes held an inscrutable look.

Jian Wushuang was very perceptive.

He hadn’t paid much attention to the small fries that came today.

So, he sent most of them away.

Leaving behind some brutes to conquer cities for him was also a good way to maintain control.

But after seeing the gentleman in white’s eyes, he felt that today’s main event was in the lobby!

Before Wang Lun could speak, Jian Wushuang, standing on the stairs, shouted, “As the saying goes, ‘In literature, there’s no first place; in martial arts, there’s no second place.’ How can we know if our small dock has any experts without a test?”

“Second Master!”

The people in the lobby immediately paid their respects.

Jian Wushuang’s prestige had greatly increased these days.

These people genuinely admired him.

Hearing that Jian Wushuang had spoken, everyone was eager to try their skills against the black-faced burly man.

Although this black-faced man seemed strong and intimidating, the people at the small dock were all skilled, and having had some drinks, none of them were willing to back down.

The man in white brocade looked at Jian Wushuang, guessing his identity, and said nervously, “Although my brother here has some strength, he might not be a match for the brothers of the small dock. Let’s forget about it.”

“No, we can’t just forget about it!” The black-faced burly man waved his hand and said quickly, “Let’s make it quick, all of you come at me!”

Jian Wushuang smiled faintly and said, “Let’s go outside, find a spacious place, so you can show your skills.”

“That’s better, so no one can say they can’t use their full strength!” The black-faced burly man said and strode outside.

Wang Lun nodded in agreement, and several skilled fighters from the small dock followed immediately.

As for the man in white brocade, he looked a bit hesitant but couldn’t hide his curiosity.

Jian Wushuang followed them, wanting to see what the other party was planning.

Outside the tavern, a crowd stood in a circle on the open ground.

The first to step forward was a strong man from the small dock, bare-chested. Although he wasn’t as burly as the black-faced man, his muscles were quite impressive.

One was over nine feet tall, the other slightly shorter.

They were evenly matched.

“Begin!” Jian Wushuang’s voice was indifferent.

At the signal, both men made their move.

They both extended their hands to grab each other’s waist.

Seeing this, Jian Wushuang felt it was just ordinary.

There was no skill involved.

It was just wrestling, a contest of strength.

The strong man from the small dock tried to pull the black-faced man, but the difference in strength was too great, and he was thrown to the ground in one swift move.

“You black…!”

Being thrown to the ground, the man was clearly unwilling to accept defeat and tried to get up again, but Wang Lun called him back.

A loss was a loss, no need to be a sore loser, otherwise, it would be even more embarrassing.

One failed, so they switched to another.

But none of the skilled fighters from the small dock were a match for the black-faced burly man.

This made Wang Lun feel a bit humiliated.

A man with a single ear stood beside Jian Wushuang and said softly, “Second in command, I have a few brothers who are quite good. Should we let them try?”

“No need, this must be handled by our own people at the small dock!” Jian Wushuang didn’t mean to say that Single Ear’s men weren’t part of the small dock; he just felt that letting newcomers handle it would tarnish their own reputation.

He had already noticed that this black-faced man was no ordinary person.

In terms of martial arts, even he was no match.

“Sir, you are truly skilled. I, Wang, am impressed!” Although Wang Lun felt humiliated, he knew it was time to end it. Continuing would only further embarrass them.

Some people who were considering joining the small dock also had strange looks in their eyes.

Even though the small dock now had its own territory and influence, with plenty of money and men, the quality wasn’t impressive.

“Stopping so soon? I haven’t even warmed up yet!” The black-faced man raised his head disdainfully.

At this moment, the man in white brocade only smiled silently, not attempting to stop him.

Jian Wushuang, standing at the back, took a deep breath. It was almost his turn to step in.

Both the black-faced man and the man in white brocade were not simple. He either had to recruit them or eliminate them early; he couldn’t let them go.

Moreover, they were definitely not just two people; there had to be accomplices who hadn’t revealed themselves yet.

“If you haven’t warmed up yet, how about a few moves with me?” Jian Wushuang said, stepping forward with his sword.

Everyone was taken aback, but soon understood.

Last time, Jian Wushuang had defeated the Tiger Head Captain, and the news had spread widely. Now, he was well-known in the martial world.

He was known as the Sword God of Shajiakou!
