He Ate a Divine Dragon-Chapter 473 - 471: Why Not Give It a Try

For Pei Donglai to call him personally and report something meant it was definitely no trivial matter. But Lin Xiao didn't ask any questions and simply hung up the phone.

"Honey, I have to go take care of something," Lin Xiao said with a smile. "Wait for me to get home tonight, and we'll cuddle up so I can give you a proper kiss."

Su Qingning's pretty face turned red. She scolded playfully, "You're awful!"

Lin Xiao chuckled and turned to head outside.

Su Qingning thought he was truly leaving to handle business, but Shen Jingzhe knew better. Trouble must have come up again. Otherwise, Lin Xiao would never pass up an opportunity to kiss Su Qingning. Yet, Shen Jingzhe said nothing.

Lin Xiao hurried out of the bar. Just as he was leaving, Bei Kuang was about to enter with Shang Tuo. Their paths crossed.

"Where's Pei Donglai?" Lin Xiao asked.

"In the security room!"

"Alright, you two get to it," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Bei Kuang nodded.

"Shang Tuo, are you settling in okay?" Lin Xiao suddenly asked.

"It's fine," Shang Tuo replied with a smile.

"That's good."

Tossing out that last sentence, Lin Xiao rushed into the security room.

Just as he expected, something had happened. He saw a young man lying on the floor, covered in blood. Pei Donglai was right beside him.

"What happened?" Lin Xiao asked sternly.

"I don't know. He was stabbed. Luckily, I found him in time and brought him to the security room before it could cause a commotion!"

"Who stabbed him? Did you catch the assailant?"

Pei Donglai shook his head. "Captain, he was stabbed outside. I have people investigating now, and I've increased security."

Lin Xiao nodded. He realized someone was deliberately causing trouble. But the priority was to save this man's life. Everything else could wait.

"You go handle things outside," Lin Xiao instructed.

Pei Donglai nodded and quickly left.

Lin Xiao pricked his finger and flicked a drop of Dragon Blood into the man's mouth. He had considered using the Xuantian Needle, but the man was already on the verge of death, and the Xuantian Needle's healing was far too slow. It couldn't compare to the explosive potency of Dragon Blood.

Sure enough, moments after the Dragon Blood entered his mouth, the man, who had been deathly pale and drawing his last breath, began to regain his color at a rate visible to the naked eye. Before long, he slowly fluttered his eyes open.

"How do you feel?" Lin Xiao asked.

The man asked in return, "Where… where is this?"

"The bar's security room. You were attacked. Do you remember who hit you?"

"I… I was attacked? Wasn't I stabbed?"

"You must have remembered incorrectly," Lin Xiao said calmly.

"Impossible, I remember it clearly." As he spoke, the young man suddenly sat up and quickly lifted his shirt. There wasn't a single mark or wound on his skin. He was completely bewildered.

"Do you remember the person who attacked you?"

The man shook his head. "I was on the phone when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. When I looked down, I saw so much blood!"

Lin Xiao smiled. "You really did remember it wrong. If you'd been stabbed, how could there be no scar?"

"That's true… Maybe I was mistaken. Can I go now?"

"Of course. Have a good time," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

The young man nodded, got to his feet, and left the security room. A strange glint flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes. Soon after, he also left.

After leaving the security room, the young man headed straight out of the bar. Once he found a deserted spot, he took out his phone and made a call. It connected quickly. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Princely Heir, it's been verified. His blood is truly potent. I was gravely injured, yet a single drop healed me instantly!" After listening to the reply, the young man continued, "Rest assured, he didn't suspect a thing."

"Very well, Princely Heir. I'll head to the airport shortly and return directly to Tianshan. I will never return for the rest of my life!"

"Yes, sir!"

With that, the young man hung up. He quickly hailed a taxi and vanished into the night.

Lin Xiao emerged from the shadows, a terrifying sharpness in his gaze.

Frankly, the reason he had suspected the man was simple. He's a Martial Artist. Although he hid it exceptionally well, I still saw through it at a glance. A Martial Artist getting stabbed by an ordinary person? That's just absurd. That phone call had just confirmed his suspicions.

This raised a question. Why did Shang Tuo need to test my blood? What kind of scheme was he plotting?

However, Lin Xiao didn't dwell on it. In fact, there was no need to fret. He knew that Shang Tuo would expose himself soon enough.

Returning to the bar, Lin Xiao didn't go back to the security room. Instead, he uncharacteristically began maintaining order outside. His real purpose, of course, was to see just how many figures from the martial world were among the vast number of customers.

He wouldn't have known without looking, but a single glance left him staggered. In the long line, there were actually over a dozen Martial Artists. Although their cultivation levels weren't impressive, their sheer number was still beyond his expectations. Lin Xiao didn't have Pei Donglai clear them out, but he did have him warn them.

「」

It was past eleven o'clock at night. Many people had already drifted off to dreamland, but the bar was hitting another peak. The line was so long that one couldn't help but wonder if these people had work in the morning. Fortunately, there were enough security guards on hand, so no trouble broke out.

Lin Xiao remained outside for over an hour. Just as he was about to head back to the security room, a terrifying killing intent washed over him. He froze for a second, then scrapped his plan to go back for tea. He began to discreetly search the crowd for the source of that aura. But the line was simply too long; he searched for a good while but couldn't find anyone.

Lin Xiao gave up. Or rather, he decided not to waste any more time on it. Whether the assassin is here for me or Su Qingning, as long as they dare to make a move, they are destined to walk a path of no return.

He turned and entered the security room.

Unexpectedly, someone was already inside the spacious room—and it was a stranger. The man had plain features but an extraordinary air about him. It was clear at a glance that he came from a distinguished background.

"From the Wang Family?" Lin Xiao asked indifferently.

The man nodded.

"Which organization?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"The Martial Alliance," the man replied coldly.

"Oh. So you're here for me?"

"That's right."

"For what?"

"To kill you!"

A terrifying killing intent erupted from him. Lin Xiao smiled. The killing intent was identical to the one he had sensed outside. Of course, he wasn't smiling because he had found its source, but at the man's foolish overconfidence.

A mere Martial King Level Martial Artist dares to assassinate me? How utterly foolish.

"Alright," Lin Xiao said. "Call Wang Shicheng and tell him to get your coffin ready."

Hearing this, the man's killing intent grew even more arrogant. "Kid, we'll see who dies!"

"Is that so? Then let's find out," Lin Xiao said with a cold smirk.

"Bring it on!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the man lunged fiercely at Lin Xiao.
