As soon as the conveyance light took off, Meng Qi felt the world suddenly dim. The wonderful realm of connecting the inside and the outside world as one and turning the world outside into one's own seemed to have been shattered.
In his senses, he saw a golden light condensed into a sharp arrow, piercing through the Vital Qi sea and the void, illuminating the boundless darkness. The terrifying pressure and indescribable strength seemed to be the manifestation of some kind of Dharma and Logos between heaven and earth. It was difficult to resist and avoid!
What a terrifying arrow!
Such a thought suddenly emerged in Mengqi's mind. He could not summon the will to fight or resist, and his hand holding the sword and saber was no longer firm!
Is this the power of a guru with an upper-grade or even supreme-grade Precious Weapon?
I've seen more than one Dharmakaya! Mengqi knew that the situation was not good. He immediately gritted his teeth. The Premier sat in the center without worry or fear. He used his martial will to forcibly dispel the emotional fluctuations and temporarily resisted the suppression of his mind!
With the rising will to fight and the lake in his heart like a mirror, Mengqi quickly raised himself to the best state for the battle. But the golden arrow came so fast that it reached him before he could make a move.
At this critical moment, a strange fragrance floated in the air. Thousands of golden lotuses appeared in the air. Each golden lotus bloomed with infinite light, as heavy as the earth and as boundless as the earth!
Because of Tian Kuo's information, Qi Zhengyan had already hidden the Yuxu Apricot Flag in his hand. At this time, he unfolded it in the wind, displaying the magic of the secret treasure of Kunlun, and just in time to block the golden arrow.
Puff!
The golden arrow shot down the golden lotuses, but it still moved forward with an invincible momentum. The Apricot Flag imitation could only try its best to weaken the arrow due to its own level. It could not block it, and even its speed did not slow down much. It seemed that this speed was the characteristic of the golden arrow itself. It was a fusion of Dharma and Logos, not an external force. If it was not destroyed or countered with corresponding Dharma and Logos, it would be difficult to affect it!
What a terrifying "arrow"!
Mengqi sighed again, but his mood was different from before. At this time, he knew the power and magic of the arrow.
There was no time to dodge or make a move. Mengqi's body suddenly grew to a height of two feet. Dharma and Logos intertwined, solemn and dignified, forcing the golden arrow to change direction and tilt upward.
It was aimed between the eyebrows!
But with this change, Mengqi was able to react a little. He raised his head slightly and swung his left arm horizontally in front of his face!
"Puff!" The golden arrow pierced deep into Meng Qi's left arm. With a flash of light, the terrifying explosive force was released!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Golden light and flesh flew everywhere. Meng Qi's golden body was shattered and he flew backward with Qi Zhengyan.
His left arm was completely destroyed from the shoulder up. Liu Huo was thrown high up. Half of his face had caved in and was stained with blood. He looked extremely ferocious.
If not for the Eight Nine Mysteries and the Yuxu Apricot Flag, this arrow would have destroyed 70 to 80 percent of Mengqi's strength, even if it did not kill him!
"Damn it!" Mengqi was furious and cursed silently.
But he knew that his opponent was a grandmaster with a terrifying Precious Weapon. He did not want to be reckless and wanted to escape.
The one in the palace pulled the bowstring again. Now it was time to see who was faster!
The experts of the Exterior who had been lying in ambush around the palace flew out. Their plan had been disrupted, so they could only take the initiative to surround and kill. There was the former Minister of Justice Tian Heng, the former Minister of Justice Wang Dan, the current Sikong Gumeng Zeng, and the elders and disciples of their families.
If the assassination of King Chen failed, there was no way out. Naturally, they would send out all their masters. If the grandmaster Gumgwang-Hole failed, they would still have a chance as long as they could seriously injure King Chen. But things had gone smoother than expected. The grandmaster Gumgwang-Hole's strength and treasures had exceeded their expectations. Even if King Chen had a frightening backup, he did not cause any trouble and only used up a few more secret treasures.
Therefore, they simply stayed and prepared to ambush Mengqi and the others. They would frame them and solve the problem once and for all.
But man proposes, God disposes. Tian Kuo somehow got the news and hid it from her father. She mixed into the team of the Tian family and fought for the responsibility of interrogation. Except for Tian Heng and Tian Jian, no one in the three families knew that he admired Sumo. As for secretly joining the School of Mo, it was even more secretive. Even Tian Heng did not know.
The grandmaster Gumgwang-Hole exerted strength in his right hand. Chixia was behind him and emitted thousands of golden lights. He pulled the bowstring with great effort.
"Clang!"
All of a sudden, a bell rang. The Vital Spirits shook and their souls were separated. The experts of the Exterior who rushed out were all dizzy and could not control themselves. The targeted grandmaster Gumgwang-Hole also felt a buzz in his head. His hands were temporarily powerless and the bowstring bounced and lost its direction.
The Fallen-soul Bell!
In order to supervise the Transit Dues, this secret treasure was handed over to Jiang Zhiwei. After all, as the Minister of Interior, Mengqi had to stay in the town. It was a good time to use it now.
The golden light turned into a sharp arrow, piercing the roof of the palace, piercing through the layers of clouds and straight into the blue sky, aiming at the sun!
Crack! The little black bell in Jiang Zhiwei's hand broke into pieces.
Opportunity!
Mengqi turned around without hesitation. All the Aperture acupoints in his body contracted, and the invisible Immortal Primogenitor Form loomed behind him. It was dark, chaotic and indescribable.
Then, he raised his single arm and chopped down. The knife light flew out and split the world!
The darkness cracked, the palace wall cracked, the White Jade Square cracked, and the hall cracked. Everything within the distance of thousands of feet between Mengqi and the first expert of the Exterior was split into two, and a ravine appeared on the ground!
"Puff!" With a slight sound, the dizzy expert suddenly regained consciousness. Then, he saw a line of blood running down from his throat to his crotch. Gradually, he could see his right eye from his left eye!
"Can I see my right eye from my left eye?" Plop! He was split into two pieces and fell to the ground.
The knife light did not stop. It cut open King Chen's bedchamber and reached the grandmaster Gumgwang-Hole.
The grandmaster had just regained consciousness and subconsciously pushed out his left hand. Chixia flashed, and the knife light disappeared.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mengqi grew two arms and caught the falling Flowing Fire. He performed the Fire Escape with Qi Zhengyan and disappeared from Shangying City. On the other side, Jiang Zhiwei protected Ruan Yushu and escaped at the same time. So did Zhao Heng.
They divided into three groups so that they would not be too conspicuous when they escaped.
As for the rendezvous, they had already discussed it. Initially, it was to prevent the nobles from counterattacking and starting a civil war. King Chen had compromised, so under Mengqi's suggestion, they had come up with a plan to escape separately and rendezvous afterwards in case of an emergency. Unexpectedly, the plan had been peaceful for a month and had not been put to use. However, it played a role when they were about to succeed.
The grandmaster Gumgwang-Hole sensed the empty surroundings and took a deep breath. His mind immediately reflected the scene within a radius of more than ten miles, including the streets, pedestrians, and houses.
He seemed to be the master of this world, able to see through the darkness.
Unfortunately, there was still no trace of Mengqi and the others!
This was within his expectations because "Sumo" and the others were either of the Exterior or of the perfect Half-step. They had long crossed the threshold of Oneness of Heaven and Men. Their breaths could blend with heaven and earth and become a part of it. This kind of rough detection method was difficult to detect.
"Go after them!"
"Lock down Shangying and search every house."
"Send people to follow me to search the surroundings."
"We have to catch them!"
The grandmaster Gumgwang-Hole opened his eyes and continuously gave orders.
This surprised Tian Heng and Gumm Zeng. Compared with dealing with King Chen before, the grandmaster Gumgwang-Hole was more anxious at this time. It seemed that his purpose was not to help the nobles, but to capture or kill Sumo and the others.
What did Gumgwang-Hole want to do?
…
Mengqi had lost his left arm and his face was sunken. He looked ferocious and seriously injured. Fortunately, he had not lost his combat power.
At this time, after jumping several times, he felt that he could not hold on anymore and quickly withdrew from the Fire Escape. While connecting his breath with heaven and earth, he blended into it to avoid detection. At the same time, he sat cross-legged and prepared to heal himself.
Qi Zhengyan used a secret treasure that was beyond his realm and consumed a lot of energy. At this time, he was a little dazed and quickly adjusted his Qi-circulation.
After stabilizing his injury, Mengqi took out the Bhaisajyaguru's Inner Elixir and swallowed it. A stream of coolness went from his mouth to his throat and into his stomach.
Qi Zhengyan recovered quickly. He looked around and found that he was in a family's kitchen. A weak flame was burning in the furnace, warming the soup pot.
"Looking at the layout, it is at most one floor …" Qi Zhengyan was a little relieved because it was not a noble's mansion.
Suddenly, he felt that Mengqi's breath had become abnormal. He quickly turned around and faced it cautiously.
His gaze immediately froze when he saw that the flesh on Meng Qi's left arm was wriggling and growing, gradually expanding.
"Poof, a white and powerful arm grew out of the flesh and blood, glowing with a faint golden light!"
"This can also work …" Qi Zhengyan was a little stunned.
After a short while, he heard footsteps coming from outside the kitchen. The strength was not bad, a Half-step Exterior Scenery master.
Qi Zhengyan was about to take action or hide, but he subconsciously stopped because the breath of the Exterior was approaching in the air. A voice came from afar, "Is there anything unusual in your house?"
"Oh no!
"What bad luck!"
Qi Zhengyan slightly squinted his eyes.
With a squeak, the kitchen door opened and a middle-aged man appeared.
In the frozen atmosphere, the middle-aged man glanced at Mengqi and Qi Zhengyan and said loudly, "Everything is as usual."
"Everything is as usual?" Qi Zhengyan furrowed his brows.
Experts of the Exterior did not have the time to search each house. They were always in the air to monitor for any unusual movements. The soldiers and guards would search each house, so they did not go near and still hung high in the air.
The middle-aged man closed the kitchen door and solemnly bowed. He lowered his voice and said,
"Greetings, Juzi."
"So he is a follower of the School of Mo … Junior Brother Meng chose the route of the Fire Escape!" Qi Zhengyan suddenly understood.
