About 100 meters away from the Ning family ancestral hall to the west of the city stood a tavern. While Lin Rui and his companions battled the Thousand Silk Demon, County Magistrate Zhu Lingshi and the registrar Jiang Hanzhang were sitting leisurely on the top floor of this tavern, casually sipping their wine.
The Capital Commandant Tie Jie Ying Yuan was standing by the window railing, admiring the distant battle.
Not until they saw the Thousand Silk Demon grievously wounded by Lin Rui did the expressions of all three men simultaneously darken, their eyes filled with surprise.
And when the two three-legged mud demons were also slain by Lin Rui and his companions, registrar Jiang Hanzhang, holding his cup of wine, found he could no longer swallow another sip.
"This young man—"
Jiang Hanzhang's eyes showed panic: "Such a fierce sabre technique!"
