Chapter 724

An old man with a special appearance stood at the entrance of the fourth floor. His hair was gray, and his arms were longer than a normal person's, hanging down to his knees. He looked like an ape, and his hands had distinct joints as if they were carved.

In Mengqi's senses, genuine Qi was released from his body surface, forming a Protective Upstanding Qi outside his body. He was a master with Nine Apertures opened. However, the thickness of his Protective Upstanding Qi was clear, and the flow of genuine Qi had many flaws. His strength was concentrated in his hands, and his strengths and weaknesses were clear at a glance. It seemed that he was slightly inferior to Xiao Yue, and seemed to have spent years to open Nine Apertures.

"If you can beat me, you can go upstairs." The old man's words were concise and comprehensive, and his attitude did not change because of Mengqi's repeated challenges.

Mengqi still did not pull out Heaven Inflicted Pain. He stretched out his scabbard and knife forward. "Please."

The old man's fists hit from a strange angle, and several joints could be moved freely. The fist wind seemed hard, but some genuine Qi was converged in his shoulders and back, and it seemed that he could change his moves at any time.

All of this was clearly reflected in Mengqi's mind, and he could not hide it at all. He stretched out his long knife, using offense as defense, and slashed at the old man's chest as fast as lightning.

This knife was chosen at a clever angle, and the timing was just right. It was an attack that the old man could not avoid no matter how he changed his genuine Qi. Moreover, the knife momentum was mixed, and the strength was converged. It was hard to distinguish between soft and hard, as if it contained both Yin and Yang.

The old man had to punch back at the long knife, and wrapped his fist with genuine Qi, which could crush gold and stone.

With a muffled sound, the old man hit the edge of the knife, and his strength was released. However, he felt that it was empty, like a clay ox entering the sea.

Softness turned to hardness, and Yin turned to Yang. The long knife suddenly burst out a turbulent internal force, mixed with the old man's own fist strength, and rushed to the old man in an invincible manner.

Under the double effect of the Immortal Pressing Art and the Triad of Yin and Yang, and the terrible weight of "Heaven Inflicted Pain", the old man's Protective Upstanding Qi was broken. His whole body seemed to be pushed by a pair of big hands, and he retreated to the edge of the wall. With each step, a hole was formed in the floor.

Mengqi did not chase after him. He held his long knife and nodded to show his appreciation. "Thank you for letting me win."

After saying that, he did not stop and went up the stairs to the fifth floor.

"He still used one move!"

Exclamations were heard. Although the people in the lobby couldn't see the fight, the people in the line outside the tower and the onlookers could still see the fight at the stairs clearly through the special design of the Hero Tower. Of course, the prerequisite was that they had good eyesight.

"In four consecutive battles, he only used one slash each time. Even against a Nine Acupores cultivator, it's still the same …"

To them, this was truly inconceivable. Defeating the enemy with a single blade was something that only existed in the mouths of storytellers. Who would have thought that they would encounter it in reality?

"It's all offense and no defense. He wins with brute force. As expected of Frenzied Blade!"

Similar praises came one after another, making Meng Qi's mouth twitch. It was easy to be evaluated like this when using a saber!

At the same time, they naturally compared another expert on the Ranking List of Young Masters who had recently broken through the Hero Tower.

"How many moves did the Five Emperors' Saber use yesterday?"

"Three."

"Could it be that Frenzied Blade wants to defeat him?"

"Not necessarily. Perhaps it's because of their styles. Taoist Qing Yu's bladesmanship is majestic and dignified, like the Five Emperors of the Five Directions. On the other hand, Su Meng's bladesmanship is firm and fierce, known for its brute force. He's good at attacking and fighting head-on. It's normal to have different results," someone commented objectively.

"Of course not!" Mengqi wanted to bang his head on the ground. "They are both bladesmanship. Why is Su Meng noble and imposing, while I am wild and fierce?"

While thinking, Mengqi went around the corner and saw the man guarding the entrance to the fifth floor.

He looked young, probably in his early thirties. His aura was restrained, and his expression was cold. Standing there, he was like a sheathed longsword, not losing its sharpness. It was just that it was hidden underneath. It was fine if he didn't make a sound, but once he did, he would shock the world.

Mengqi subconsciously straightened his back. Xiao Zhenhai, the "Aurora Electric Sword", had pressured him as soon as they met. It was a battle of Qi activity and spirit. He deserved to be a master on the Ranking List of Young Masters.

Half of his spirit was extended to the blade, and the other half was released. Through the skills of Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth, he seemed to be in harmony with the surrounding environment. The curve of the stairs, the number of steps, and the blowing autumn wind were inseparable and perfectly integrated, repelling Xiao Zhenhai, who was the only one who didn't belong here.

The discussion below suddenly stopped. Just now, Meng Qi had defeated his opponent with one move. Naturally, they could not tell the difference between each move. They only knew that "Killing Blade" Su Meng was very strong. He could defeat a Nine Apertures Master with one move. As for how strong he was and how strong he was, they could not tell. At most, they were amazed.

But now, Mengqi gave them the most direct feeling. His momentum was amazing and mysterious. His every movement was charming, as if he was about to become one with heaven and earth.

"This is a master, a real master!" Everyone had the same feeling.

However, this was only the momentum that Meng Qi had forcibly simulated through Will-projecting and Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth. It was still a long way from the real Heaven-man Connection and the Oneness of Heaven and Men. This was not something that could be made up for by aptitude and talent. He had to open his Nine Acupores and achieve the mastery of the Interior Realm. By adjusting his Inner World and gradually resonating with the Outer World, he could truly feel, touch, and express it.

Before opening Nine Apertures, Mengqi was limited by his realm, so he could only deepen the imitation and increase the power in this state.

Looking at Mengqi like this, Xiao Zhenhai was finally moved. He had a feeling that as long as he used his sword, he would be repelled by heaven and earth, which was equivalent to becoming an enemy of that environment. The sword in his heart became hesitant, and the hidden sharpness gradually faded.

Step by step, Mengqi walked up the stairs, getting closer to Xiao Zhenhai. In Xiao Zhenhai's eyes, the figure of "Killing Blade" Su Meng was getting taller and taller, filling up his sight from afar.

"No, I can't wait any longer …" Xiao Zhenhai was worthy of his reputation. He realized that if he continued to hesitate, he wouldn't even need to use his sword. The momentum of the Killing Blade alone could crush him.

This was not a joke. When masters fought, their Qi would be affected. If the momentum of the Killing Blade reached its peak, and the sword in his heart would be suppressed, he wouldn't be able to exert 50% of his strength even if he used his moves. He would end up like the others downstairs!

Xiao Zhenhai used to be a master on the Ranking List of Young Masters, so he had his own pride. With a roar, his Inner World operated, strengthening the sword in his heart. His Sword Qi burst out, and his fighting intent rose rapidly.

With this momentum, he forcibly used his sword.

This sword was like a bolt of lightning. It was so fast that people below could only see the flash, but couldn't find where the sword was. It was so fast that Mengqi's Eye Acupores, enhanced by the Eight Nine Mysteries, could barely catch the shadow of the sword.

The sword had already passed, and the sound had just echoed. In a trance, it felt somewhat like this!

Xiao Zhenhai's nickname "Aurora Electric Sword" was to describe the speed of his sword. He had been practicing fast sword all his life, but he didn't know any exquisite moves or supreme arts of the Exterior. He only relied on speed to establish himself in the Martial Arts World and get on the Ranking List of Young Masters.

He had once fought with someone. When both of them made moves at the same time, his sword had already reached his opponent's throat, but his opponent had just lifted his sword. Aurora Electric Sword!

"So fast!" The people outside the Hero Tower had no time to make a sound. They could only think the same thing.

Sword was faster than sound. Even if Xiao Zhenhai couldn't reach it now, he would surpass it sooner or later when he became an Exterior master!

The saber light shone like silver lightning. It was so fast that people couldn't see it clearly. It split the sea and the river in an instant!

"What a fast saber!" Everyone had the same thought again. Frenzied Blade was indeed an expert who had mastered many Sword Dao Essences. His Speed Formula was not inferior to anyone else's!

"Clang!"

The saber and sword hit each other. The sound was clear and spread far like the sound of a temple bell.

This was the first time Mengqi had drawn his saber since he entered the Hero Tower. He barely blocked Xiao Zhenhai's Lightning Sword.

His back was covered with a layer of sweat. He almost missed. It was rare for him to make an error in judgment!

Xiao Zhenhai hadn't reached the level where he could hide the flow of genuine Qi and the reaction of his muscles. He didn't have any supreme arts that could make his genuine Qi and muscles change strangely, quickly, or deceptively. Mengqi had already figured out how he would attack through the spirit, genuine Qi, and the theory of Nine Strategies Beyond the Swords.

However, Mengqi didn't expect Xiao Zhenhai's sword art to be so fast that he almost couldn't react. Even though he had learned the Essences of Blade Dao, he was still a moment slower than Xiao Zhenhai. He almost couldn't block Xiao Zhenhai's attack!

Sure enough, every famous expert had their own redeeming qualities!

Xiao Zhenhai was ready to attack again with the power of his long sword. Each sword was faster than the previous one. He didn't give "Killing Blade" any time to breathe. However, as soon as he moved his wrist, he saw Su Meng's strangely shaped long saber slashing toward him. If he swung his sword according to his original plan, it was equal to giving his wrist to the blade.

Even with the protection of Gang Qi, Xiao Zhenhai didn't dare to test whether Mengqi's saber was sharp or not. He changed the route of genuine Qi and shook his wrist, intending to stab downward.

However, Mengqi's long saber seemed to have expected it. It slashed down suddenly halfway and still aimed at Xiao Zhenhai's wrist.

Xiao Zhenhai's expression changed slightly. He changed his moves again, but he couldn't make any moves. His opponent always attacked first and forced him to change his moves before he attacked.

Mengqi's mind was as clear as a mirror. He reflected Xiao Zhenhai's flow of genuine Qi and the reaction of his muscles. Based on the constant pattern and height of the Nine Strategies Beyond the Swords, he used his saber to break Xiao Zhenhai's sword.

"Isn't your sword as fast as sound? I'm not as good as you, but I can stop you from using your sword! "

The men waiting in line and watching under the Hero Building were speechless. When did "Aurora Electric Sword" become so powerful that he couldn't even use his sword?

"It seems that" Ledgerkeeper of Lives "has done it!"

"Killing Blade Su Meng can also do it?" "That's incredible!"

After seven moves, Xiao Zhenhai couldn't change his moves anymore. He could only move sideways to avoid the saber and watch "Killing Blade" Su Meng pass him and climb up the stairs.

He still had a killing move that he had figured out, but he finally restrained his impulse. "I have a killing move, but doesn't" Killing Blade "have one?" His famous Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship was the pinnacle of bladesmanship. He had no chance of winning unless he launched a sneak attack.

Putting away his long sword, Xiao Zhenhai looked lonely. It was not a happy thing for a swordsman who was famous for his fast sword to be unable to use his sword. He was frustrated, depressed, and in pain.

When Mengqi was about to climb to the fifth floor, he looked back at Xiao Zhenhai and shook his head with a sigh. "What a pity."

If Xiao Zhenhai had a basic magic skill that matched his sword art, he wouldn't have been so easily seen through by Meng Qi. It was a pity that Xiao Zhenhai was a Jianghu rogue cultivator with rare adventures. Otherwise, he would have broken through the Hidden Latch of Life and Death. This might be the main reason why he was recruited by the head of the Hero Building.

"It's really a pity for Xiao Zhenhai," someone said from upstairs.

It was a young Taoist with high eyebrows and thin lips. He looked gentle, but he was arrogant and reserved. In front of him was a saber that was neither long nor short. The scabbard was deep purple and decorated with "stars".

In Mengqi's perception, he was upright as if he was above the Ninth Heaven. His genuine Qi flowed like smoke and mist, which was difficult to detect.
