Chapter 411

"Ah?" Hearing the familiar yet strange voice, Tang Mingyue suddenly turned her head, just in time to see Mengqi's violent and terrible strike.

His facial features were the same as yesterday, but his temperament had changed. He was no longer indulgent, extravagant, and lascivious. Now he looked cold and determined, proud and reserved, all of which had turned into strong confidence.

"Second Brother …" She subconsciously raised her hands and covered her mouth. Her eyes were misty and her heart trembled.

Second Master Tang, Master Tang the Seventh, and several young disciples changed their expressions. They did not expect that Second Master Tang would come back at this critical moment!

Second Master Tang was in his early twenties when he left home, and his appearance and figure were fixed. Now that they saw him again, he only looked a little more experienced. How could they not recognize him?

On the guests' side, First Master Ling and Third Master Wan looked the same as them, both in disbelief.

The masters of the four families, including the masters of several families, all fixed their eyes on that strike. Their pupils contracted, and their attention was all attracted by that strike. Even though they were just bystanders, they could feel the invincible and invincible strength.

To be able to display such momentum in bladesmanship, he had obviously obtained the essence of bladesmanship!

If he were in his place, would he be able to block this strike? What price could he pay to block it?

The Nine Apertures Elder of the Ye Family rushed out and shouted, "Stop!"

The Evil Ordeal struck down, and the surrounding airflow and vitality were all absorbed by it. In Third Master Ye's eyes, he felt that the world was shrouded by this strike, and he was isolated from the world.

The sky was vast, and the field was vast. There was nothing but the saber!

He was like a man abandoned by nature, his family, and his subordinates, facing the terrible punishment alone and helpless. His body and mind were suppressed, and fear arose naturally.

This strike was like a thunderbolt striking down, carrying out punishment on behalf of the heavens. It was fierce and powerful!

In the face of this strike, Third Master Ye was like a Yin God facing lightning. His body and mind trembled, and he could not resist at all. His body suddenly became weak, and he slid down from the chair and knelt on the ground.

The saber light disappeared, and Mengqi's Evil Ordeal hung over his head. At this time, the Nine Apertures Elder of the Ye Family was still one step away.

Clang. Mengqi sheathed his long saber, looked straight ahead, and said in a hoarse and indifferent voice,

"You're too weak. I'm very disappointed."

As he spoke, he walked past the kneeling Third Master Ye without looking back.

How could a Six Apertures Martial Artist, who relied on drugs and lacked actual combat practice and Peerless Godly Kung Fu, be so weak … Meng Qi suspected that when he first opened his Eye Apertures, he could have fought against two of them without using Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship.

Meng Qi was not worried that someone would recognize the blade just now, because it was his own experience of practicing the Purple Thunder Bladesmanship. Then, he used the Essence of Heaven Blade as a guide to transform it into his own bladesmanship. Even if the experts of the Exterior of the Sect of the Plain Lady who practiced the "Purple Thunder Bladesmanship" were here, they would at most feel that the blade contained the Essence of Thunderclap and was close to the Essence of bladesmanship.

The Peace Quietude Split and the Mortal Dust Fall of the Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship were also transformed into two kinds of the Essence of his Bladesmanship.

It originated from the Heaven Blade but was not completely the same as Song Que's Essence. This was Meng Qi's "Heaven Blade"!

"You're too weak. I'm very disappointed." Hearing the hoarse voice, Third Master Ye's face turned red, his expression twisted, and his eyes almost collapsed. He wanted to stand up, but his legs were still weak. That saber seemed to have become the seed of fear in his heart!

The Nine Acupores Master arrived and watched Mengqi walk past. Then he helped Third Master Ye up and let him sit back down.

First Master Ling and Third Master Wan were stunned. They could not believe that Third Master Ye, who was usually stronger and more domineering than them, was powerless to kneel under one saber!

Master Tang the Seventh, Master Wan, and the others were also shocked. When did Second Master Tang's bladesmanship become so powerful and terrifying?

"Tang Jing, what do you mean?" Ye Wantian, Master of the Ye family, said coldly.

Mengqi glanced at him and said in a hoarse voice, "Let Third Master Ye see what is called broken copper and iron."

He had heard Second Master Tang's voice on the boat. With the help of Eight Nine Mysteries, he could control his throat muscles and vocal cords and could imitate it. Moreover, his throat was injured and his voice was hoarse, so no one could tell that there was something wrong.

He paused and said, "A few years ago, thanks to Third Master Ye, I came to my senses and went out to travel. After going through hardships, I finally learned the basic bladesmanship. Cough, so I used that saber just now to repay your 'kindness'. I hope Third Master Ye can also turn over a new leaf."

Mengqi deliberately coughed twice to show that his throat injury had not healed and it was inconvenient to say more, so as not to give himself away when asked about the details.

After that, he turned to look at Tang Mingyue and said in a soft but still hoarse voice, "Ninth Sister, you've suffered."

He had read through the information collected by Huanhua Swords Sect. Although it was not very detailed, he could still grasp the basic titles and the major events.

Tang Mingyue looked at "Second Master Tang" who was 70% strange and 30% familiar. Tears fell from the corner of her eyes. She seemed happy, wronged, concerned, and worried. "Second Brother, it's good that you're back. I'm fine. Your, what's wrong with your voice? "

"I was injured by an assassin from Unrelenting Tower. I'm sorry Brother Wan." Mengqi apologized to the Master of the Wan family.

"Unrelenting Tower?" The Master of the Wan family exclaimed in surprise. Second Master Tang, Wang Zai, and the others also looked over in surprise.

Mengqi gestured for Tang Mingyue to rest assured and slowly walked forward. "If not for the Golden-level assassin from Unrelenting Tower, how could I have escaped with serious injuries and had to find a place to cultivate?"

With the saber he had just used, if he did not emphasize the strength of the assassin, his identity would easily be suspected.

Unrelenting Tower was one of the Nine Evil Paths and specialized in assassinations. Assassins of the Exterior were divided into red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. The most powerful assassin of the purple stair had once killed a master ranked 19th on the Terrestrial Rankings. It was said that he was the current Tower Leader of Unrelenting Tower and was later ranked in the top 15 by the Six Fan School.

As for the enlightenment period, Unrelenting Tower divided them into gold, silver, bronze, and iron. The strongest were the Golden-level assassins. However, because the assassins' identities were not obvious and many assassinations were carried out by the same person, no one was ranked on the Ranking List of Young Masters. However, if anyone underestimated them because of this, they would pay with their lives.

"It's a Golden-level assassin …" Wang Zai said in a low voice.

Mengqi looked around at the crowd and his gaze stopped on Second Master Tang and Master Tang the Seventh for a moment. He then turned to look at Third Master Ye, who had just regained his senses and was full of resentment. "Second Uncle, Seventh Uncle, Third Master Ye, I really want to know why I was assassinated by a Golden-level assassin of Unrelenting Tower and even implicated Brother Wan on my way home when my grandfather was seriously ill."

He had complete control over the topic so that he would not give himself away when it came to something he was unfamiliar with.

The Tang and Wan families were in an uproar. Was he implying that there was a mastermind among Second Master Tang, Master Tang the Seventh, and Third Master Ye? Or were the three of them working together?

"Who knows what kind of trouble you've caused outside?" Third Master Ye said through gritted teeth.

The eyes of the Master of the Wan family and the others flickered. They did not have much of a reaction to Third Master Ye's words. The timing of Second Master Tang's assassination was too subtle. It was on his way home when Old Master Tang was seriously ill.

"How could there be such a coincidence?" Mengqi said concisely. Then his face darkened. "If I find out who the mastermind is, I'll cut him in half!"

Without waiting for the others to speak, he looked directly at Wang Zai. "Master Wang, according to the rules of etiquette, if the eldest son is present, how should the position of Master be handled?"

His voice was not loud, but it was like a clap of thunder. It made the expressions of Second Master Tang, Master Tang the Seventh, the Master of the Ye family, and Third Master Ye change drastically. This made Tang Mingyue feel as if her hatred had been vented.

Mengqi stared at Wang Zai, waiting for his answer.

The Wang family from Zhou County used the Noble Spirit, a divine skill of the Confucian Sect, as the foundation of their family. They emphasized benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette the most. Among the etiquette, the inheritance of the eldest son was the core. It was related to the stability of the family. If Wang Zai wanted to support someone else to the position and denied this, then his Noble Spirit would be destroyed! From then on, a huge flaw would be buried in his heart!

Originally, Mengqi had thought that if he did not use the thunderbolt mark or the Sacrifice Formula, he would only have a higher chance of winning if he fought with Wang Zai using all his other skills. He dared not say he would definitely win. After all, those who could enter the Ranking List of Young Masters did not have primary level Kung Fu of the Exterior. They had mastered at least one ultimate move of the Exterior, which could not be underestimated. Moreover, Wang Zai also had the Noble Spirit and various supreme arts of enlightening the Apertures of the Wang family from Zhou County!

However, if he violated the etiquette and destroyed the Noble Spirit, leaving a flaw in his heart, Mengqi was confident that he could defeat him with only his Evil Ordeal and bladesmanship without using his sword or ultimate moves!

At the level of Mengqi and Wang Zai, the perfection of one's heart was especially important. Not only would it affect one's perception of heaven and earth in the future, but it would also affect the performance of one's current Kung Fu realm.

Didn't the leader of the horse bandits on the Evil Ridge also master an Exterior-level bladesmanship? Didn't he still die quickly?

Therefore, even if there was a certain degree of danger in pretending to be Second Young Master Tang, Mengqi still came!

Second Master Tang and the others all looked at Wang Zai. If he admitted the legal authority of the eldest son, it would be equivalent to endorsing Tang Jing's inheritance with the reputation of the Wang family from Zhou County.

Wang Zai put his hand on the hilt of his sword and said calmly, "I'm a guest, so a guest should follow the host's wishes."

"Moreover, even if you're the eldest son, you still have the Seven Great Laws that prevent you from inheriting the position of the Master."

The so-called Seven Great Laws were unfilial, treason, and so on.

Without waiting for Mengqi to ask again, he smiled and said, "Brother Tang, may I know why you're wearing a human skin mask?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. Their eyes focused on Mengqi's face. They had thought that Tang Jing was a fake, but it shouldn't have been exposed so quickly, right?

Tang Mingyue bit her lower lip and looked at Mengqi with fear and helplessness. After the initial shock, Second Master Tang, Master Tang the Seventh, and the others' faces lit up.

Mengqi put his hand to his ear and gently tore it, revealing the "real face" underneath.

"Ah! Second Brother, you … "Tang Mingyue was so frightened that she took a step back. That was because the face was crisscrossed with scars. It was hideous and terrifying, and under the scars was indeed her Second Brother's appearance!

"You?" The expressions of Second Master Tang and the others kept changing. They didn't understand what was going on.

Mengqi seized the time to put on the human skin mask and said in a low, hoarse voice, "When I was traveling, I encountered danger and was captured and tortured by the enemy. That's why I became like this. So I found a skilled craftsman to make this mask to avoid scaring others."

The scars and appearance were changed by the Eight Nine Mysteries. At first glance, no one could tell the real from the fake. After all, Second Young Master Tang had been away from home for many years, so everyone's memory was a little fuzzy.

Just now, the mask was seen through by Wang Zai because Mengqi had done it on purpose to show his "real face" under the mask. In this way, it would increase the credibility of his identity. Everyone would subconsciously think that it was his real face under the disguise, and not another layer of "disguise". If he didn't use muscles but two layers of human skin mask or makeup, the thickness would be too obvious and could be seen through at a glance. Therefore, only experts who were good at disguise or skilled in disguise could do this.

"Second Brother …" Tang Mingyue's tears streamed down her cheeks.

Wang Zai sighed. "Only after going through trials and tribulations can one see the vast ocean. No wonder Brother Tang can master the bladesmanship."

After this incident, Second Master Tang and Master Tang the Seventh looked solemn. Neither of them took the initiative to question Mengqi's identity. They seemed to be thinking about something.

Wang Zai laughed. "Brother Tang, you have returned from a disaster. You must have other things to talk about. I won't disturb you any longer. See you some other day."

He did not mention anything about the Master of the family. Anyway, Old Master Tang was still alive, just in a serious coma.

Watching Wang Zai, Master Ye, and the others leave, and looking at Second Master Tang and Master Tang the Seventh who were silent, Mengqi vaguely felt that something was wrong. If he were Second Master Tang or Master Tang the Seventh, he would definitely make a scene and say that the real Master Tang was a fake!

Identical appearance? He must have found someone who looked similar. The world was so big, and it was normal to have a substitute who looked similar!

The birthmark was the same? He must have imitated Second Tang after catching him!

All the things he talked about matched up? He must have gotten it through torture!

In short, he would not believe it. He would not believe it even if he died. Then, he would find an expert to identify the difference in the bloodline and unite with the family and external forces to turn the real Second Tang into a fake Second Tang.

Mengqi thought for a while and said, "Second Uncle, since I'm back, please return the power of the family to the eldest branch. By the way, where's Grandfather Shu? "

He had just discovered that Tang Shu and the other four Nine Apertures Masters who had participated in the siege were not around. Obviously, they had hidden themselves to avoid Huanhua Swords Sect, Six Fan School, and himself.
