Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1239 - 548: Undercurrents at the Inn
Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
[Poison Marrow Sword] Zhao Jinci's fame isn't immense, yet it holds considerable weight. Her Poison Marrow Sword Technique strikes with ruthless ferocity; even superiors in power find the following poison effects a real hassle.
Crucially, Poison Marrow Sword never ventures solo; a loyal sister trails her like a ghost, possessing strength that's equally staggering!
"Bone Piercing Whip... That woman beside her has to be Bone Piercing Whip Zhao Yinxin!"
These sisters together earn the moniker Poison Scorpion Sisters, wandering the lands with scarce rivals.
Warriors surpassing the duo still dread their special toxins, reluctant to clash with such foes.
Consequently, the Poison Scorpion Sisters' influence has surged lately.
Fame swells, drawing more allies.
Still, the majority know them by reputation alone, without face-to-face encounters.
Seeing them now confirms their beauty, but their menace shines through, akin to toxic blooms too perilous to approach.
"It's truly them..."
"Poison Marrow Sword, Bone Piercing Whip, tsk tsk tsk, out of everyone, why provoke these two? That fool met a regretful end for sure."
Whispers filled the crowd, reactions all over the map.
The black-clad youth, eager to shine earlier, now stood utterly stunned.
"She's... she's Poison Marrow Sword Zhao Jinci? And I just tried defending that witch..."
Shamefaced, the black-clad youth glanced at his master, calmly sipping and dining nearby.
"Big Sister..."
The square-faced sword-bearer, hesitant to strike, bowed his head low.
[Poison Marrow Sword] Zhao Jinci shot him a look and said evenly.
"Sit down and eat."
"Yes!"
The square-faced man swiftly returned his sword to its sheath and took his seat, behaving like a meek kid, revealing his place in the group clearly.
Clap!
Clap!
Clap!
As others shunned this table like the plague, one clapped and strode over.
"The world fixates on Poison Marrow Sword's venomous side, overlooking her brilliant sword skills!"
He nudged the decapitated body aside with his foot and smiled, cupping hands toward the sisters.
"I am Lin Yi Yuan, delighted to meet you two beauties."
Lin Yi Yuan?!
The spectators, barely over the Poison Scorpion Sisters' shock, now gaped equally at Lin Yi Yuan's name.
"Lin Yi Yuan, who hides flowers in laughter!"
"What's with tonight; big names keep emerging!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, Lin Yi Yuan—I'd pay to watch the undefeated Lin Yi Yuan tangle with the Poison Scorpion Sisters."
The audience, thrilled by the spectacle, pictured the clash ahead.
Yet reality diverged from their visions.
"Lin Yi Yuan, who hides flowers in laughter, your name rings familiar."
[Poison Marrow Sword] Zhao Jinci raised her gaze to the arrival.
"Rumors say you strike once, settling win or loss. And defeat has eluded you so far."
Lin Yi Yuan grinned, stood tall, and snapped open his fan.
"Miss Zhao teases; it's just worldly hype. Who boasts invincibility in the jianghu? I'm merely lucky."
[Poison Marrow Sword] Zhao Jinci fell silent, eyed him briefly, then rapped the table.
"Sit."
Lin Yi Yuan snapped shut his fan and sat smiling.
The five-person crew expanded to six.
From the square-faced man's tense demeanor, the others at this table likely joined similarly.
"The mighty band together..."
"Tonight could turn dicey."
A twinge of worry stirred in everyone's chest.
This team's power already exerted heavy pressure.
Though the mission hadn't started, their presence alone stifled the rest.
"Master..."
The black-clad youth eyed the elder.
But the elder lounged, seemingly dozing, before murmuring eight steady words.
"Earthly chickens and dogs, not worth worrying about."
The elder's tone stayed soft, yet [Poison Marrow Sword] Zhao Jinci caught it instantly.
She turned toward the old man's table, but her sister had risen already.
"Sister, leave it to me. Some old fools lack manners and deserve a schooling."
True enough, it was Bone Piercing Whip Zhao Yinxin.
But her rise got pressed down by [Poison Marrow Sword] Zhao Jinci.
"No rush."
She uttered those words and resumed her meal unperturbed.
Still, tension simmered between the tables, opposition brewing hot.
"What a thrilling show—pure excitement! Poison Marrow Sword Zhao Jinci, Lin Yi Yuan who hides flowers in laughter, and that Humblebane Plague old man. Witnessing their brawl today? Worth dying for!"
"Spot on, Brother Tian! This drama's electric! Good thing we grabbed the task fast; missing this epic would sting!"
"Let 'em clash! When they do, we'll reap the chaos—pure bliss!"
In the tavern's corner, eager patrons buzzed in hushed tones.
"Brother Tian, notice how some in here stay stone-faced at those names? Means they're probably concealed powerhouses too!"
"Best show ever! Fight starts, and we're golden! With my gift skill 'Polar Star Shift,' seeing their battles up close lets me copy their moves! All those legendary arts? Soon mine!"
