"The Lyu Family?"
Junior Leopard raised his eyebrows slightly and a cold smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.
In today's world, well-known families ran amuck. The big ones were the Li Family of Pingzhou, the Liang Family of Qingzhou, the Cui Family of Hedong, and so on. These were all rare well-known families and barons in the world. They had a heritage of thousands of years and a deep foundation. Even the royal family of the Great Jin had to show some respect to them. Their strength was enough to compete with thousand-year-old sects like the Mingyi School and the Tian Long Taoism. There were countless talents in the family. Usually, they didn't show their strength, but once they encountered a major event or crisis, these families would reveal their terrifying strength. No one would forget that 800 years ago, when the world was in chaos and Northern Yuan invaded the south, the Li Family of Pingzhou, the Cui Family of Hedong, the Liang Family of Qingzhou, and a few other big well-known sects joined forces to resist the enemy.
In one night, there were six Level Nine experts, 14 Level Eight experts, 29 Level Seven experts, and hundreds of Bone-Forging Realm experts. They helped Marquis Wu to clean up the Central Plains. In just half a year, the army of Northern Yuan was driven back to the north. Within half a year, Marquis Wu unified the world and established the Great Wu Dynasty. After the establishment of the Great Wu Dynasty, these experts who suddenly appeared disappeared almost overnight, as if they had never appeared.
This was also the first time in the past thousand years that these aristocratic families had shown their strength. Since then, in the 800 years since, although there had been continuous battles and Northern Yuan had invaded the south several times, they had never reached the level of that year. Therefore, these aristocratic families with a terrifying foundation rarely showed their true strength in front of the world.
However, although hundreds of years had passed, the deterrence of the well-known families and barons had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, even if they were very low-key.
The Lyu Family was also a well-known family. However, compared to the Li Family of Pingzhou, the Liang Family of Qingzhou, the Tian Long Taoism, and the Mingyi School, which had thousands of years of history, the Lyu Family was only a medium-sized well-known family. Their influence was only in a county.
The Silver City County of Qingzhou was the world of the Lyu Family.
The Silver City County was very close to Maojiang. Therefore, the Lyu Family of the Silver City County had a high status in this area.
But what did this have to do with Junior Leopard?
In his eyes, the Lu family of the Silver City was nothing more than a local tyrant. They had dared to poison him with such a potent poison, and had even plotted to steal their magic tools. This could all be attributed to greed. However, they had refused to admit defeat even after being caught. Not only did they refuse to admit defeat, but they had also used the Lu family of the Silver City to pressure him. It was as if the Lu family of the Silver City was something extraordinary.
This was a fool who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!
Looking at the idiot struggling and howling under his feet, Junior Leopard once again lifted his foot and stepped on his arm.
Crack!
"Ahh-!"
The sound of bones shattering was accompanied by a blood-curdling scream that sounded like a pig being slaughtered. Once again, all the guests in the backyard of the magistrate's office were alarmed.
But this time, they all knew that an ignorant thief was caught by the adults. Naturally, they wouldn't rush to the door noisily like before.
A few more blood-curdling screams came from the room. Then, with a "hu" sound, a black body flew out of Junior Leopard's room like a broken cloth bag. "Laihong, find a place to dispose of his body!"
"Yes!" Lu Laihong replied. He called a few soldiers to carry the body, whose head had been smashed by Junior Leopard, away.
The night was silent!
But Junior Leopard couldn't fall asleep.
The person he killed had a high status in the Lyu family. No, it should be said that he had a high status. Otherwise, he wouldn't have developed such a spoiled and arrogant personality.
Junior Leopard naturally wouldn't show mercy to such a person who poisoned him and stole his celestial device. However, Maojiang City was close to the Silver City County. Junior Leopard didn't want to make such a big enemy. Hence, he directly smashed his head so that people couldn't see his face clearly. Then, he let Lu Laihong deal with him like an ordinary thief. In this way, even if the Lyu family had suspicions, they wouldn't have any evidence.
The problem now was the information he got from this guy called Lv Jianyun.
"Damn it, the situation is more troublesome than I thought. I thought it was just some greedy Jianghu people who would cause trouble. I didn't expect these small and medium-sized well-known families to also have designs on my Demon Devil Needles. F * ck, this group of damn bastards. They don't even know what my celestial device is, but they think that I have a celestial device that can allow me to challenge those of a higher level. Since that's the case, I might as well put the Demon Devil Needles out in the open. Anyway, I've already refined the needles perfectly and I can make them into Demon Devil Needles.
What's there to be afraid of? "Junior Leopard thought for a while and secretly made a plan. Lv Jianyun was an idiot. Junior Leopard got a lot of information from him. Originally, Junior Leopard wouldn't kill him. Unfortunately, the information he leaked would cost him his life.
The poison he used to kill Junior Leopard and Lu Laihong was called the Seven Heart Golden Scorpion Powder. It was made from the poison of the Seven Heart Golden Scorpion, one of the Nine Great Poisons in the world, mixed with several other highly toxic substances. Apart from the unique antidote, only the legendary Poison-absorbing Green Bead could detoxify this poison. Such a poison was obtained by the Lyu family by chance. They regarded it as their most precious treasure and hid it in the treasury. They didn't dare to use it easily. Who knew that Lv Jianyun was the Lyu family's ancestor and also the most beloved grandson of the current Family Head's mother. It was precisely because of this ancestor's love that he developed such a bastard character of courting death. Lv Jianyun heard a rumor in Jianghu that Junior Leopard used a celestial device to kill a Level Eight expert of Northern Yuan, causing a sensation in the world.
Lv Jianyun had an idea. Normally, he wouldn't have such an idea. However, the rumors in Jianghu came one after another. It was said that Junior Leopard was seriously injured and wouldn't live for long. It was also said that countless people were rushing to Maojiang in order to snatch his celestial device.
As a young master of the Lyu family, he also vaguely knew that apart from ordinary people in Jianghu, some well-known families with similar strength as the Lyu family had also sent people to Maojiang secretly. They wanted to find an opportunity to see if they could get the celestial device from Junior Leopard's hands. Hence, he thought, "Since others can go, why can't I go?"
Moreover, Maojiang wasn't far from Silver City. The Lyu family also had some influence there. Hence, he asked the Lyu family's ancestor to take the Seven Heart Golden Scorpion Powder with him and come to Maojiang to find an opportunity.
In the end, not even two days after he arrived in Maojiang, he met Junior Leopard and Lu Laihong who were out shopping. Others didn't know Junior Leopard, but he knew him.
Although this kid was an idiot, he wasn't someone who didn't prepare for a battle. Before he came, he found a way to get Junior Leopard's portrait and thought of several plans. Unexpectedly meeting Junior Leopard gave him an opportunity. He calculated the time and secretly poisoned the food of the two people. Then, he prepared to take advantage of the situation at night.
He was very confident in the Seven Heart Golden Scorpion Powder. Moreover, he also knew that in this world, other than an independent antidote, only the Poison-absorbing Green Bead could cure this poison. Hence, when he saw Junior Leopard and Lu Laihong finish the big pot of dog meat, he thought that the matter was done. After all, something like the Poison-absorbing Green Bead hadn't appeared in the world for hundreds of years. Even if it did appear, it couldn't be on Junior Leopard.
In the end, he was defeated!
When Junior Leopard heard that the poison of the Seven Heart Golden Centipede Powder could only be cured by an independent antidote and the Poison-absorbing Green Bead, and that Lyu Jianyun was so sure that he ate this poison, he just didn't react for a moment. If he let him live, he would naturally think that the Poison-absorbing Green Bead might be in his hands. Then, others would think of the Poison-absorbing Green Bead and the matter in South Yuezhou Province. After a series of associations, even Junior Leopard himself was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, not to mention others.
The Jianghu lacked many things, but there was no lack of association. These rough men who wandered in the Jianghu were all quick-witted people. Even if it was really groundless, they could make up 70 or 80 origins, not to mention such a thing with a cause.
Therefore, Junior Leopard was ruthless and destroyed the corpse to destroy the evidence.
"The Lyu Family has no evidence. Even if they have doubts, they can't do anything to me. However, the thing that Lyu Jianyun said is interesting.
Lyu Jianyun was beaten by Junior Leopard just now, so he didn't have a trace of arrogance left. In one breath, he said everything that should and should not be said. He was the young master of the Lyu Family and the favorite of the Elder Ancestor. He knew a lot of secrets. In normal times, he might be very tight-lipped, but in the face of the vicious Junior Leopard, he didn't dare to hide anything. He said everything that should and should not be said in full detail. Some of the things that were extremely confidential in the Lyu Family were also revealed to Junior Leopard.
"The Lyu Family actually found a good refined iron vein in Yunzhou, and they still want to hide it from others. Interesting!"
Yunzhou was the territory of the Wu Family. Especially refined iron veins, they were basically all under the control of the Wu Family. Moreover, if there was someone in the Wu Family who could find a similar vein and report it to the Wu Family, then he would not only get a big reward, but also a share of the profits from the refined iron mine. As for how much you could get in the end, it depended on your position in the Wu Family!
With Junior Leopard's current position and strength in the Wu Family's Outer Core Elder, he should be able to get a big share of the profits.
Moreover, this kind of thing didn't need him to do anything. He only needed to pass the news to the Wu Family. This kind of good thing that didn't need him to do anything and could still get a big share of profits, it would be a waste not to do it!
"Silver City's Lyu Family, humph, don't blame me. You can only blame your own bad luck for provoking me!" Junior Leopard sneered in his heart. He sat cross-legged on the bed and put this matter behind him. He began to think about his official business. "Well, my injuries are almost healed.
"Well, my injuries are almost healed, so it's time to set off. I've been delayed here for 15 or 16 days. In a few days, that batch of provisions should be delivered to the destination. If I hurry for a few days, I should be able to make it in time for the handover. Although there shouldn't be any problems along the way, it's better to finish what I started. However, if I really want to hurry, I can't take my hammer with me. That thing is too heavy. Even I can't use Lightness Skill with it!" Zhang Tie thought to himself. "That's right.
Thinking of this, a few strange pithy formulas suddenly appeared in his mind.
Riding the dragon and riding the Qi, soaring to the ninth heaven. … …
… …
The way of riding the wind, first and foremost, was to be free and unfettered. … …
… …
Dragon Flying Technique!
Lines of pithy formulas flowed in his heart. Unconsciously, the Internal Qi of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique began to operate. The airflow around him also became rapid. Several thin airflows, driven by the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique, entered his body through his acupoints and circulated throughout his body. In a flash, Junior Leopard felt the airflow in his body was full and his whole body seemed to be weightless.
Subconsciously, his hand patted the edge of the bed and his body floated up.
"Whoosh —!" With a sound, his figure passed through the broken window and rose several feet into the air. His feet touched the void and the airflow surrounded him. Unconsciously, the Yanfu Inner Strength also began to operate. His hands crossed, he rushed up again, no longer having any shackles.
"Puff, puff, puff —!" Stepping on the void, Junior Leopard walked up to the sky step by step. Gravity seemed to have no effect on his body. His wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, making him look like a fairy.
"Riding the dragon and riding the wind, riding the dragon and riding the wind —!"
With a smile on his face, Junior Leopard's body had already risen to a height of 300 feet before he stopped rising. He stopped rising, but his feet did not stop. Step by step, the distance of each step was several feet. Just these two points showed that Junior Leopard had already mastered the Way of Crisscrossing in the Four Lightness Skills.
Dragon Flying Technique was an extremely advanced mental cultivation method of Lightness Skill, but it was not only different from ordinary mental cultivation methods, but also different from most mental cultivation methods in the world. It not only operated the Internal Qi in the body, but also borrowed the airflow of the surrounding heaven and earth to absorb the airflow into the body. Then, it used the airflow to transport the Internal Qi in the body to all the tendons and meridians in the body, so that the speed of the Internal Qi could be greatly increased. The airflow around the body circulated in the acupoints, turning the body into a part of the airflow of the heaven and earth, and then borrowing the power of the airflow to soar. This was the Dragon Flying Technique.
"This mental cultivation method is really weird. I've never heard of a mental cultivation method secret skill that uses external objects in such harmony!" Junior Leopard thought in his heart. This Dragon Flying Technique almost displayed the Four Lightness Skills of the world to the extreme. There was no other Lightness Skill that could surpass it.
"With this Dragon Flying Technique, even if I haven't cultivated Gang Qi, I can still soar between heaven and earth!" Junior Leopard's body was soaring in the air, but he gradually descended. "It's a pity that this mental cultivation method still consumes a certain amount of Internal Qi. If there isn't enough Internal Qi, then it can only be used at low altitudes. It's not like those who have cultivated Gang Qi, who can fly unhindered and disappear for a thousand miles!" Junior Leopard secretly sighed in his heart. He landed on the ground, but he didn't completely land on the ground. Instead, he stepped on Maojiang.
Yes, in this short period of time, Junior Leopard had arrived at Maojiang. He stepped on the turbulent water surface and it was as if he was walking on flat ground. He didn't sink at all.
"It's not bad to use it to walk on water. With the buoyancy of the water surface, coupled with this mental cultivation method, it's basically no different from walking on flat ground. However, this Dragon Flying Technique doesn't seem to only be used on Lightness Skills!" Feeling the situation of this mental cultivation method moving in his body, Junior Leopard seemed to have thought of something. His heart moved slightly, and between his eyebrows, a red light flashed. A red Sword Qi appeared on his fingertip. With a point of his finger, a rock by the riverside was pierced by the red sword light.
"Haha, as expected. What I thought was right!" Junior Leopard secretly said in his heart. The biggest advantage of this Dragon Flying Technique was the method of controlling the airflow in the tendons and meridians. This method was not only effective for Internal Qi, it was also effective for the Extreme Yang Through Sky Sword that he had practiced.
It should be known that the Extreme Yang Through Sky Sword was condensed from the Blood Essence Evil Yuan between heaven and earth. Although it was powerful, it would cause great harm to the tendons and meridians in his body. Usually, he could only store it in the External Elixir between his eyebrows. If he wanted to use it, he had to use the Fiery Eye between his eyebrows. This greatly limited the application of this powerful special technique. More importantly, the Yin and Yang Through Sky Sword was not only a powerful Sword Qi, but also a matching sword technique. For the sword technique, only when it was released by the hands could it exert the greatest power. Unfortunately, his body strength was only at Level Four of the Bone-Forging Realm. If he put the Sword Qi of the Extreme Yang Through Sky Sword into his body, as long as it traveled a semicircle in his tendons and meridians, he would lose his life.
However, it was different with the Dragon Flying Technique. This mental cultivation method would neither increase the depth of his Internal Qi nor help him condense the purity of his Internal Qi. Instead, it could provide a way to use it, which was to use the ordinary airflow you breathed to quickly transport your Internal Qi to various acupoints and parts of your body. It could use both the Internal Qi of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique and the Sword Qi of the Extreme Yang Through Sky Sword.
The only trouble was that he could not transport all the Sword Qi of the Extreme Yang Through Sky Sword at once. Junior Leopard did not need to do that.
The power of the Extreme Yang Through Sky Sword was unparalleled. Even if it was only a trace of it, it had the effect of killing people. He did not need too much. The most important thing was that by using the Dragon Flying Technique, he could easily use the sword technique of the Extreme Yin Through Sky Sword.
By using airflow to wrap the traces of Sword Qi, he did not need to worry that the Sword Qi would hurt his tendons and meridians in the process of flowing, because there was already a large amount of airflow around the Sword Qi.
The airflow was equivalent to adding a thick layer of protection in his tendons and meridians. It allowed him to use the destructive Sword Qi of the Extreme Yang Through Sky Sword with peace of mind. This allowed the powerful Sword Qi to flow freely in the tendons and meridians like Internal Qi.
The most important thing was that it was not only suitable for the Extreme Yang Through Sky Sword, but also for all kinds of special techniques.
"With this Dragon Flying Technique, my combat capability has increased by at least three times. However, the origin of this mental cultivation method is too strange!"
Thinking of the origin of this mental cultivation method, Junior Leopard became silent. This mental cultivation method was imparted to his brain after Tao Wu returned that day. In other words, this mental cultivation method was imparted to him by Tao Wu. This was really too strange.
Tao Wu was the third form of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique and one of the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon. It sounded very mysterious, but in the end, it was just condensed from his Internal Qi. Yes, it was Internal Qi that he breathed in and out of the world and collected spiritual qi. No matter how powerful it was, it was just Internal Qi, not a living creature. How could it have consciousness? How could it pass on such a wonderful mental cultivation method to Junior Leopard?
These days, Junior Leopard had been checking his body to see if there was anything strange in his Internal Qi. All the checks had no results. He even condensed Tao Wu again and released it out of his body. He observed it for several hours, but found nothing.
It was as if nothing had happened.
However, Junior Leopard knew clearly that everything had happened, and it had happened so strangely and incomprehensibly.
"This matter can't be explained or told to others. It seems that my understanding of this world is not as deep as I thought. There are still many things that I can't know now. Maybe those immortal people of Tian Long Taoism will know something. After all, this cultivation method came from Tian Long Taoism. It seems that I have to find a chance to sound Wang She out. I don't know if he is still alive. It's not fun to be chased by two veteran Level Nine experts!"
A sneer flashed across Junior Leopard's face. Suddenly, there was a sound of thunder. Junior Leopard looked up and saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds. The blowing wind gradually became cold. Inside the dark clouds, thunder rolled and lightning flashed in the clouds. The moisture in the air gradually increased.
"Damn, it seems that it's going to rain. I'd better go back early. I'll set off tomorrow to catch up with the grain …!"
Junior Leopard's mouth suddenly opened slightly. He stared at the dark clouds in front of him. The dark clouds in the sky had joined together, and the place where his eyes could see was the place where the lightning was the strongest. Accompanied by bursts of roars, a light flashed around the dark clouds, illuminating everything around. Although it was only for a moment, with Junior Leopard's eyesight, he could still see it clearly.
There was a person there!
Inside the dark clouds, there was a person sitting upright!
Although it was far away, Junior Leopard could still see clearly that there was indeed a person sitting there. This person was even sitting cross-legged in the hollow. His hands were placed on his knees, forming two seals.
With a sound of thunder, a bolt of lightning hit the person. The person had no intention of resisting and let the lightning, which was as thick as a child's arm, hit him.
"Boom, crackle —!"
After the thunder and lightning, the person did not move, not even a corner of his clothes.
"Gulp!" Junior Leopard stood blankly on the surface of the water, fiercely swallowing a mouthful of saliva. Then, he raised his hand and fiercely rubbed his eyes. Once again, he raised his head and looked up. That person was still there. His eyes did not see wrongly. Another bolt of lightning struck his body.
Junior Leopard fiercely shivered, as if that bolt of lightning had struck his body. His Internal Qi leaked out, and with a splash, his entire body sank into the river. The current of the Maojiang River was very fast. A wave came crashing over, and Junior Leopard was pushed hundreds of feet away. By the time Junior Leopard caught his breath and floated to the surface, he already couldn't tell where he was.
