"You, you …" The man who had fallen from the roof looked at Mengqi with fear and hatred. He tried to speak, but after twitching a few times, he foamed at the mouth and bled from his seven orifices. He stopped breathing.
"How did he die?" Wen Qichang, Chi Feng, and the others looked at the corpse on the ground. They were shocked and shocked.
"He was roared so hard that his cultivation method backfired and he went mad?" Redline Lady and Holy Hunchback of the Wastelands took a deep breath. "Is this the Sound of Seven Spirits from the Tai-yin Devil-Rinsing Scripture?"
Mengqi stroked the hilt with his right hand and said with a smile, "This is the Sound of Seven Spirits from the Tai-yin Devil-Rinsing Scripture. But he didn't cultivate it properly. He only cultivated the Power of Yin and became neither human nor ghost. My Sound of Divine Punishment swept him away."
His tone was relaxed as he spoke slowly, as if killing the enemy with a roar of thunder was just a trivial matter after a meal. He was indescribably leisurely and indifferent.
The Tai-yin Devil-Rinsing Scripture had fallen into their hands before being traded to the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms.
"The Sound of Seven Spirits is said to be able to seduce one's Vital Spirit and stir up the Power of Heaven and Earth. I didn't expect that to be the sinister feeling just now," Redline Lady said in realization. No wonder Taoist Qingyuan could defeat his enemy with a sound.
Holy Hunchback of the Wastelands guarded against the outside and asked solemnly, "May I know which sect you are from? Do you have a sense of morality? "
"I am a Rogue Cultivator. Thanks to heightslord Huangfu's guidance, I have reached the realm of my bladesmanship today." Mengqi kept his smile and answered in a way that couldn't be more sincere.
Before Redline Lady and Holy Hunchback of the Wastelands could ask Taoist Qingyuan when he had seen Huangfu Tao, the window door was smashed open. Figures rushed in, hiding under the dim moonlight and surrounding Mengqi and the two of them.
These figures were slightly blurry and distorted, making it difficult to tell which was real and which was fake. Wen Qichang and the others gasped when they saw this. It was indeed the orthodox lineage of the Moon Village. Although the person who had been shocked to death by the sound was unknown, it was obvious that his status was not low from the fact that he could cultivate the Wonderful Sound of Seven Spirits. He was probably one of the deacons of the Moon Village who specialized in shady matters.
Cold glints flickered in the hands of these figures. They were not swords or sabers, but their own fingernails. Each of them looked neither like a human nor a ghost, and their appearances were terrifying.
Redline Lady unsheathed her long sword and was about to meet the enemy when she suddenly saw a flash of silvery white light, like a flash of lightning. It was unbelievably fast.
Before she could see the saber clearly, she heard the sound of a saber being sheathed.
This crisp sound was like a command, and one figure after another fell to the ground. Almost at the same time, there was a loud thud.
However, due to the difference in their postures at that time, some of them fell forward, while others fell sideways, allowing people to see the wounds. All of them had a thin cut on their throats.
All dead? Wen Qichang, Chi Feng, and the others stared blankly at Mengqi. They saw that his saber was sheathed and his posture was relaxed, as if he had never used his saber.
However, they clearly knew that this handsome Taoist had indeed used his saber, but because it was so fast that they could not see it, only the silvery white light remained in their eyes.
Furthermore, he had killed nine people with one saber strike!
What kind of earth-shattering saber technique was this?
"To be able to cultivate an orthodox Taoist technique like the Tai-yin Devil-Rinsing Scripture to such an extent, the Moon Village can be considered quite capable," said Mengqi with a faint smile.
Everyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.
Holy Hunchback Beyond the Great Wall was experienced in Jianghu and quickly came to his senses. He sighed and said, "There's always been a rumor that the Moon Village has secretly trained men of sacrifice who cultivate the Tai-yin Devil-Rinsing Scripture. I didn't expect such a thing to be true."
Having said that, he looked at Mengqi and lamented, "I didn't really believe that Taoist Qingyuan had been taught by heightslord Huangfu. After seeing this saber, I no longer had any doubts. This is the famous move of heightslord Huangfu, the 'White Colt Crosses the Rift'. When he saved me that day, he stabbed a strong enemy with this spear."
Wen Qichang, Chi Feng, and the others did not have good eyesight and could not see the minute differences. Now that Holy Hunchback Beyond the Great Wall mentioned it, they suddenly realized that it was indeed similar to the 'White Colt Crosses the Rift' demonstrated by Miss and the other disciples of the God-gathering Heights. This Taoist Qingyuan had been taught by heightslord Huangfu?
If Mengqi had not mentioned the teaching beforehand, it would have been difficult to distinguish the similar essence of the saber technique after returning to its original state. Holy Hunchback Beyond the Great Wall would not have been able to recognize it and associate it with Huangfu Tao. For example, the most basic moves such as hacking, chopping, wiping, and flicking were similar no matter who used them. At most, there was a difference in the degree of purity. No one could tell the origin of the opponent's martial arts and identity from such moves.
"If heightslord Huangfu hadn't taught me, I would have needed another year and a half to comprehend the essence of this saber technique," Mengqi answered sincerely.
Redline Lady saw that Mengqi was a generous and righteous person and said with some joy, "I have also been taught by Senior Huangfu. Unfortunately, I have not been able to comprehend the essence of the spear technique and integrate it into my own swordsmanship. I am much worse than you, Taoist Qingyuan. When did you meet Senior Huangfu?"
Huangfu Tao had gone crazy and entered the Thousand-mile Mountains for several years. Mengqi looked to be in his twenties. It was no wonder that they were confused about the timing of his teaching.
"About a few years ago." Mengqi did not know how many years had passed since he last explored Zhenwu's Decoy Grave.
Seeing the puzzled and probing expressions of the crowd, Mengqi laughed. He placed his left hand on the saber and paced toward the door. He said in a clear voice, "I had a fortuitous encounter when I was young. I fell off a cliff and obtained the orthodox heart sutras and the supreme saber technique. After that, I ate a ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma Lucidum, which increased my Kung Fu by 60 years and directly opened Six Acupores. Before I left the mountain, I met heightslord Huangfu. He praised me for my amazing bones and outstanding talent. He didn't hold back and taught me his Kung Fu.
Mengqi looked back at Holy Hunchback Beyond the Great Wall, Wen Qichang, and the others who were dumbfounded. He smiled.
"Do you believe what I said?"
"I don't …" Redline Lady said straightforwardly.
Mengqi turned around again. With his hands behind his back and his hemp shoes on his feet, he said leisurely, "Everyone has their own secrets. Why bother getting to the bottom of it? It's not difficult to fabricate an exaggerated story or a reasonable one. What's the point of listening to lies? It's better to stay silent …"
"He really does look like a Taoist …" Hearing such carefree words, Wen Qichang sighed inwardly. When he was young, he had also yearned for such grace.
Holy Hunchback Beyond the Great Wall and Redline Lady suddenly understood. Could it be that he came from that mysterious mausoleum? Like heightslord Huangfu and Grandmaster Nine Villages, he obtained a fortuitous encounter and left? Was that why heightslord Huangfu could teach him? Could heightslord Huangfu wake up temporarily?
As these thoughts popped into their heads, Redline Lady saw that Mengqi was about to step out of the temple. She asked anxiously, "Where are you going, Taoist?"
Meng Qi stretched his hand out of the door and caught the falling snow. He chuckled.
"It's snowing nicely tonight. Why don't we go to God-gathering Heights at night? What do you two think?"
"Taoist Qingyuan, the disciples of Moon Village are good at sneak attacks and assassinations at night …" Holy Hunchback Beyond the Great Wall reminded them subconsciously. That was why he and Redline Lady had chosen to enter the temple and wait for daybreak.
But before he could finish his sentence, he saw that Mengqi had already stepped out of the temple.
Redline Lady said in a low voice, "Taoist Qingyuan probably has the strength of a Nine Acupores master. Since he appeared out of nowhere, the people sent by Moon Village to intercept us must not be prepared. At most, they'll send one of the Eight Generals. If we join forces with him, even if we can't beat them, it shouldn't be a problem for us to break through."
Holy Hunchback Beyond the Great Wall thought for a moment. "Alright!"
The two of them quickly followed him, leaving Wen Qichang and the others looking at each other.
"Daddy, Taoist Qingyuan was so cool just now …" the little girl with braids said, her eyes shining.
Wen Qichang smiled bitterly. "First, we need to have strength. Sigh, Taoist Qingyuan is a good person. He can understand our difficulties. I hope he'll be fine."
Although Mengqi's bladesmanship was shocking, Wen Qichang couldn't compare him to the Eight Generals of Moon Village and the two Half-step Exterior Scenery masters of the Four Great Protectors because the enemy was weak.
As for the Half-step Exterior Scenery and the Exterior Scenery, they were worlds apart. How could bladesmanship make up for that?
A faint moonlight shone through the sky, illuminating the snowy ground. Mengqi took a deep breath and leaped forward. His toes touched the ground lightly, but there was almost no creaking sound.
"Taoist Qingyuan, be careful of the Moon Village disciples' assassination," Holy Hunchback Beyond the Great Wall reminded him loudly.
The reason why Mengqi wanted to travel under the cover of the night instead of staying and enjoying the admiring gazes of the little girl and the others was because he had considered that he was an outsider. The Moon Village would definitely be negligent when they arranged for people to intercept him. Therefore, he had to break through the interception and arrive at God-gathering Heights before they received the news and sent more people. Then, he could act according to the circumstances. Even if Mr. Moon-washing or a stronger Half-step Exterior Scenery master personally attacked him, he could still escape even if he couldn't beat them.
When the time came, he could try to convince Huangfu Fei that the impartation was in the disciples and the people's hearts, not the heights. If she wanted to sacrifice herself and the other disciples to protect the heights, she would lose both her and the lands. If she gave up God-gathering Heights and went to the ends of the world, she would be safe.
The world was vast, and the Moon Village was not powerful enough to swallow thousands of miles. Huangfu Fei and the others were not strong, but they were definitely not weak either. With his protection, it would be easy for them to pass after concealing their identities. Once they mastered the Divine Skill, rebuilding God-gathering Heights would be a piece of cake.
If Huangfu Fei still hesitated, he would encourage her to pursue love and tell her some melodramatic stories to arouse her hidden feelings … Wait, the more Mengqi thought about it, the more he felt like an auntie from the neighborhood committee …
Following Holy Hunchback Beyond the Great Wall's reminder, a figure flashed out from the bushes that were half-buried in snow and pounced on Mengqi's back. The figure was faint, like moonlight. If one was not careful, they would be easily fooled.
There was a flash of saber light. Mengqi turned around and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior and Madam."
The disciple fell into the snow with a dull thud. Blood spilled out and dyed the white snow red.
"I have just come out of the mountains. Please tell me more about the masters in the Moon Village …" As Mengqi spoke, there was another flash of saber light. Beads of blood appeared on the snow. The disciple who was about to jump out fell into eternal slumber in the snow.
"Killing with a wave of his hand while talking and laughing …" Holy Hunchback Beyond the Great Wall thought that Taoist Qingyuan was taking a leisurely stroll. He took a deep breath and said, "There's no need to invite me. It's what I should do."
With the help of the faint moonlight, Mengqi saw two bright red spots on the white snow. The contrast was obvious, like two blooming plum blossoms.
He sighed and said, "That's right.
"I wonder how many snow plum blossoms will bloom tonight …"
Heavy snowflakes fell, covering the bloody plum blossoms.
