The young man who looked like a farmer was shocked at first, and then he shouted in pain and anger,
"Third brother!"
Because he blocked the direction of escape and had an outstanding aura, it was as if he had merged with the surrounding environment. In a moment of desperation, Meng Qi would not be able to leave unless he forced his way through. Facing the victim, Meng Qi did not have the heart to use his blade, which was reflected in his hesitation.
At this moment, Mengqi understood that he had stepped into a trap. Sending the coffin was to lead him to investigate the origin; killing the coffin shop's shopkeeper and assistant was to cover up the real clue; holding the note in his mouth was a deliberate arrangement by the murderer to lead him to find Jiang Tabo, so that he would be framed as the murderer and caught by Jiang Tabo's elder brother!
The whole plan was closely linked, and the "clue" was hidden logically. He didn't notice anything wrong in his hurry.
But how could they be sure that he would investigate at night after seeing the coffin? When the bodies of the coffin shop's shopkeeper and assistant were found tomorrow, the paper ball would fall into the hands of the Six Fan School, and they wouldn't be able to bait him!
Could it be that they had a considerable understanding of his temperament and style of doing things, knowing himself and knowing the enemy?
Or did a master follow him at that time and kill him when he was looking for the coffin shop? Or did he rush to the Breeze Villa in advance when he found the paper ball and framed him when he was questioning the assistant?
No matter what the reason was, it was very terrible. Who would be willing to have an enemy who knew his character so well? Who would be willing to be followed without being discovered?
Just thinking about it made him feel cold!
This incident made Mengqi re-examine the assassin in the casino. He might not be related to Qiu Fei.
It seemed that he was really targeted by someone or some force …
Did it start when the Hero Tower deliberately exposed his identity and alerted the enemy?
Then why did they hate him? Or were they afraid or worried about something? Why did they have to deal with him? He hadn't done anything yet!
Many thoughts flashed through his mind in a split second. Meng Qi suppressed his doubts and said, "Brother …"
His momentum, appearance, and characteristics were vaguely familiar to Meng Qi, who was familiar with the intelligence of the Six Fan School.
The young man, who looked like a farmer, looked back at Mengqi. There was still some lingering pain in his expression. There were no more ripples in his eyes. His whole aura rose, as if he had merged with heaven and earth, and there was no longer any difference between inside and outside.
Mengqi's mind had originally reflected the flow of his zhenqi and the state of each muscle, but now he could not sense it at all. It was as if he was a part of the yard, a part of heaven and earth. How could a man see the sky?
"It's you!" He gritted his teeth and spat out two words. "I know you're doing this for that matter, but don't implicate your family. Don't tell me you don't dare to look for me directly?"
"What is that thing … Don't be like Qing Yu, who only told me half of it …" Thinking of this, Mengqi immediately recognized who this young farmer was.
"The Astounding" Jiang Hengchuan, ranked tenth on the Ranking List of Young Masters!
For some reason, he had deliberately moved into the Flower-viewing Garden separately from his third brother, Jiang Tabo. Both of them should have used aliases. Otherwise, Meng Qi would not have thought of Jiang Tabo's background …
"Brother Jiang, it's a misunderstanding …" Mengqi tried to explain. No matter how similar it was to him, there would be a difference in the actual examination, unless the dregs of the Exterior used the Seven Blades of Purple Thunder. But if it was him, he could have directly killed him. Why beat around the bush?
Jiang Hengchuan's chest seemed to be filled with anger. He snorted coldly and directly attacked without listening to Mengqi's explanation.
He held his right wrist with his left hand as if he was pinching a snake or a dragon. His right palm followed, affecting his whole body, right arm, left hand, and spine, forming a mysterious trajectory of a hidden dragon flying in the sky.
With a wave of his palm, the distance of 30 feet between the two disappeared. The wind from the palm hit Meng Qi's face fiercely. His strength, genuine Qi, and Qi mass formed a giant dragon that was more than 10 feet long. The strong wind blew in all directions, causing the ground to shake violently and the house behind Meng Qi to creak and shake.
Jiang Hengchuan's movements were close to the power of the Half-step Exterior Scenery or the Exterior movements of ordinary people who had enlightened the Apertures. He was far more powerful than a normal Nine Acupores master. Moreover, he did not need to be guided by Qi Ji or urged by a well-matched opponent. He could achieve Heaven-man Connection by himself.
As long as he wanted to, he could break through the Hidden Latch of Life and Death at any time!
This was the strength of the top 10 on the Ranking List of Young Masters!
The Qi dragon was violent and completely won by its strength and fierceness. The part that attacked Mengqi's genuine Qi was at its peak and highly condensed. There were no weak points except for the two sides and the follow-up parts. However, Mengqi could not bypass the palm wind that enveloped him and attack the "dragon body" from the side!
"Absolute strength and momentum. Even if you see the flaw, you can't break it!"
Mengqi took a deep breath and calmed the hesitation in his heart. When his life was in danger, he could only do his best, regardless of whether his opponent had made a move because of a misunderstanding.
The long saber in his hand suddenly disappeared, as if it had vanished into thin air.
In this strange situation, the "Heaven Inflicted Pain" appeared high up in the sky. Mengqi slashed nine times at high speed. Each slash was heavier than the last. The saber force pressed down layer by layer, causing a huge roar in the air.
"Boom!" At the same time, Mengqi let out a Thundering Roar. He fought strength with strength and strength with strength!
The Thundering Roar shook and Jiang Hengchuan slightly swayed. His strength dissipated a little, and the saber force and the palm wind collided with a loud bang.
"Bang!"
The sound of an explosion spread out, and the strong wind blew in all directions, blowing off leaves and bending the trees. Dust was brought up and swirled around Breeze's Small Villa, like fog or haze. It was as if a demon had descended.
Mengqi took three steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood. The tightness in his chest improved. After all, his strength was a notch lower than Jiang Hengchuan's. Fortunately, he had the Thundering Roar and the Immortal Pressing Art to dispel the force, so he only spat out a mouthful of extravasated blood and was not seriously injured.
The shaking of the ground almost made him lose his balance, but Mengqi tiptoed. Instead of running away, he counterattacked. His long saber cut through the void and slashed at Jiang Hengchuan.
In front of such an opponent, he would not be able to escape if he just focused on running!
As soon as the long saber appeared, Jiang Hengchuan seemed to have expected it. He slashed with his left palm, his genuine Qi sticking closely to the edge of his palm, making it impossible for Meng Qi to borrow it. He slashed at the body of the saber. Given the gap between their realms and strength, Mengqi's "Heaven Inflicted Pain" would probably fall out of his hands.
Mengqi's long saber slashed at Jiang Hengchuan's wrist instead of a vertical slash.
Jiang Hengchuan's face was filled with deep-seated hatred. He flipped his left palm and raised his right palm. His palm transformed into a net, trapping Mengqi's Heaven Inflicted Pain like a spider catching a fly. It brought out the true essence of nature and approached certain truths between heaven and earth.
Mengqi had no choice but to change his move again, but Jiang Hengchuan's changes were still ahead of his. In a short period of time, the two of them had exchanged dozens of moves, but none of them had collided. Every time, Mengqi had to change his moves.
He knew very well what was going on. Jiang Hengchuan, who was almost in the state of Oneness of Heaven and Men, had a fine grasp of his surroundings. His flow of genuine Qi, his muscle reactions, and even the relaxation of his pores could not be hidden from Jiang Hengchuan, who was in the state of Oneness of Heaven and Men. How could his moves be secret?
This was the suppression of realms!
If Meng Qi had not mastered the Nine Strategies Beyond the Swords and the Outline of Heavenly Knife, which allowed him to predict Jiang Hengchuan's movements through the constant patterns of the ever-changing moves, he would have been cornered within three moves, let alone dozens of moves!
"This can't go on!" Mengqi's heart skipped a beat. For the time being, he only assisted the Golden Bell Shield with the Eight Nine Mysteries, deliberately changing the reaction of his outer muscles and the flow of genuine Qi on the surface of his body.
This kind of extremely precise control was unique to the Eight Nine Mysteries. How could anyone else be so meticulous?
Then, his long knife rushed forward. The knife momentum was mixed and inclusive, like chaos, containing all possibilities. Before the knife and palm touched, every possibility had a chance to appear. It changed according to the situation and the situation. Unless one could see the flow of genuine Qi at the core of one's body, it would be impossible to see the changes between Yin and Yang, hardness and softness.
The Triple Combination of Yin and Yang, which was Yin and which was Yang?
This was a knife move that Mengqi had created with the help of "Heaven's Inquisition" and "Meridian". It was a comprehensive study of his bladesmanship and had truly turned it into his own. It was equivalent to the realm of swordsmanship that Jiang Zhiwei had created when she created "Yama's Invitation". It was enough to dominate all the enlightened Apertures moves.
For the first time, Jiang Hengchuan's face showed a serious expression. His right palm turned into an arc and his left palm pulled. The shaking of the ground stopped, the sound of the wind stopped, and the creaking house finally stabilized. All the airflow and vitality flowed into the space between his palms. The surroundings were dead silent, filled with a murderous intent.
Mengqi could not see the origin of Jiang Hengchuan's Kung Fu because he had already combined all the Exterior Kung Fu moves into one, discarding the false and retaining the true. He had obtained the essence and performed them in the most suitable way for himself. He had broken away from the shackles of reciting from a book, and turned from having no moves to having one.
With the Qi movement and genuine Qi intertwining, Meng Qi's long saber cut into the space between Jiang Hengchuan's palms.
The air cocoon that had gathered there was empty. If a strong force surged over, it would be like a clay ox disappearing into the sea. However, Mengqi's long saber was also weak and powerless. It was as if they had just exchanged a gentle greeting without any interaction.
At that moment, Mengqi's "Heaven Inflicted Pain" changed from Yin to Yang. They were mutually reinforcing, and a majestic force surged out with a strong and fierce intent.
The change was so sudden that after the saber force cut into the air cocoon, the cocoon exploded and dissipated the force. However, it was still half a beat too late. Jiang Hengchuan had to take a step back to avoid the sharp edge.
An opportunity! "Heaven Inflicted Pain", which had cut into the space between Meng Qi's palms, flicked up. The saber light was hazy, like a sad rainy night.
The heavy rain was boundless, and the drops of thunder beat on the heart. Streaks of lightning brought indescribable desolation and sorrow.
On such a rainy night, amidst such thunder, who could have peace?
Mengqi seized the opportunity and used the Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship in an attempt to cut off Jiang Hengchuan's peace and destroy his state of mind. That way, he could temporarily slow him down so that he could escape.
He had never thought that he could defeat the top ten of the Ranking List of Young Masters with just an Exterior bladesmanship. Moreover, the two of them had fought due to a misunderstanding. It would be difficult for him to kill someone ruthlessly. Thus, he only created an opportunity to escape and looked for other clues and evidence to prove his innocence.
As the saber light fell, Mengqi seemed to see the scenery of lakes and mountains, the crisscrossing fields, the world of mortals, and the process of grain germinating, growing, bearing ears, and falling. He sensed every inch of soil and weeds in the small courtyard. He sensed the insects hiding inside, and he sensed their every movement.
The moonlight shone down, and the small courtyard was quiet. Insects chirped, and nature was at its best. Mengqi's mood was indescribably calm.
"No, this isn't the normal backfire of the Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship!"
Mengqi snapped out of his trance and happened to see Jiang Hengchuan covering up the pain on his face.
His peace had been cut off by the Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship, and Meng Qi had also been naturally counterattacked by the state of "Oneness of Heaven and Men". They had fallen into a subtle sensory state, and so both of them slowed down at the same time.
"Heart Affecting Heart, Meng Qi wounded both of them with one strike!"
