Snake King's footwork was very strange. It was different from that of an ordinary master. His feet were tightly pressed against the ground and he did not lift them up. Yet, he did not feel any friction at all and glided as he pleased. With a gentle dodge, he dodged past Meng Qi and pounced toward the door.
If they were in each other's shoes, Mengqi wouldn't be able to stop him. Even the weakest Half-step Exterior Scenery master was still a Half-step Exterior Scenery master!
But there was still Jiang Hengchuan!
He was one step behind and was by the door.
Snake King looked at Jiang Hengchuan, who had the temperament of a farmer, and his dark skin. Snake King punched him mercilessly. His arms swelled and genuine Qi opened its huge mouth like a snake. He swore to race against time to escape. As long as he left the small building and entered North Street, who could catch up with him and find him?
"Kacha, kacha, kacha!" A strong gust of wind tore the door apart and sent it flying downstairs into the ancestral hall, knocking several vicious fish unconscious.
The shadows came to life and pulled at Jiang Hengchuan's ankles and arms as if they were corporeal. They were sticky and heavy, like pythons.
Suddenly, Snake King saw Jiang Hengchuan's temperament change. He was like a hermit living in the mountains, living in the wind and drinking in the spring. Even though he was surrounded by shadows and faced with the terrifying fist strength, he was still calm and unhurried. However, he also had a strong sense of the secular world. He was not as aloof as the gods. He had the true interest of nature and blended in with his surroundings.
"Oneness of Heaven and Men?"
Snake King had long sensed that the white-robed swordsman's follower had extraordinary strength. He was the best among the Nine Acupores, but he didn't expect him to be able to achieve Oneness of Heaven and Men!
Back then, his precarious life as a killer allowed him to break through the Hidden Latch without hesitation after receiving help from his benefactor. He built the Bridge of Heaven and Men. He didn't even reach the preliminary stage of Heaven-man Connection, let alone Oneness of Heaven and Men. If not, how could he be so weak and frail at the age of 70?
Those who could achieve Oneness of Heaven and Men had an alternative yet preliminary connection between the inside and the outside world. With the help of genuine Qi and the external world, as well as a strong spiritual cultivation, they would only show signs of decline when they were nearing the end of their lives.
Jiang Hengchuan clenched his hands into fists and did not back down. His fists were like two dragons coming out of their caves, facing Snake King.
"Whoosh!"
The fist strength was highly condensed and the surrounding air swirled, setting off a strong wind. The entire small building creaked and swayed, as if it would collapse at any time.
Oneness of Oneness of Heaven and Men!
"Boom!"
The four fists collided and exploded. Vital Qi splashed everywhere, dispersing the shadows, shattering the windows, collapsing the walls, and punching holes in the floor. One could see what was below through the holes.
Jiang Hengchuan took a few steps back and almost crashed through the railing. The Snake King also slid back a little. They were evenly matched!
It seemed to be the same ending, but the circumstances were different. Behind Jiang Hengchuan was the pool where all the killers had died, while behind Snake King was Meng Qi.
Meng Qi raised his long saber and slashed down. He quickly made nine slashes. The airflow was compressed, bringing with it a roaring sound.
The long saber seemed to have turned into a whirlpool, absorbing all the vitality in the surroundings, as if it was carrying out punishment on behalf of the heavens.
The saber was like a dragon, and lightning surged. It condensed into a silver-white saber Qi that slashed down. A nearby pillar sensed its power and silently broke in the middle. The cut was smooth.
The knife was like a dragon. Electricity surged and condensed into streaks of silver Knife Qi. A nearby pillar was cut in half.
The floor cracked, and the small building was on the verge of collapse.
Even though he did not use the Violent Thunder Shocking the Sky with his Purple Thunder Force, he still activated Heaven Inflicted Pain. Facing a Half-step Exterior Scenery master, there was no way he could rely on luck. After all, he was not a master of Oneness of Heaven and Men, so a normal strike could approach the Half-step Exterior Scenery.
The airflow entered the saber momentum, and the world shrank. The Snake King suddenly felt that the saber was indestructible and unavoidable.
The air flowed into the Knife Momentum. Heaven and Earth shrank. Snake King suddenly felt that the knife was invincible and unavoidable.
"Killing Blade?" Snake King was one of the most influential people on North Street. He had access to many information channels. Even though he had never seen Mengqi, he still thought of this famous master on the List of Fame in Maoling.
Snake King didn't dare to be careless. He twisted and swayed like a slippery snake, making it difficult for the Knife Qi to lock on. Suddenly, with his back to Mengqi, he threw himself to the side. He straightened his right leg like a whip and kicked at the lightning behind him.
This strike was like a snake's tail lashing out, bringing with it a thunderbolt in the clear sky. It was so fast that only an afterimage could be seen, as though it had surpassed the speed of sound. With a poof, the saber Qi was dispersed and the tip of the saber was kicked. There seemed to be an explosive sound reverberating in the void, rolling out.
Mengqi felt the weight on his right hand. The web between his thumb and index finger was about to split. He ran the Immortal Pressing Art and took a few steps back to dissolve the remaining force.
Snake King borrowed the momentum of the kick and was about to break through the window to escape when she suddenly saw Jiang Hengchuan approaching. Jiang Hengchuan raised his right palm and chopped down like a knife, aiming for the weak spot on her neck.
The power of his palm was condensed like the blade of a real saber. It was scorching hot. Before it hit Jiang Hengchuan's body, he could feel the heat.
The floor silently cracked again. The cut was scorched black and slowly burned as if it had been cut by a knife.
Snake King was attacked from the front and back. He was at his wits' end. It seemed that he couldn't avoid the terrible palm knife.
He took a deep breath and lowered his body like a snake. His right fist grew again and hit Jiang Hengchuan's palm knife through the air.
At that moment, he clenched his right fist and eerily flicked his index finger. A black shadow condensed and turned into a long thin line. It passed the palm knife and stabbed at Jiang Hengchuan.
"Spiritual Snake Spitting Tongue," Snake King's killer move!
Jiang Hengchuan's five fingers, which were clenched like a knife, suddenly blossomed like a flower. Then, he suddenly closed his fingers and pointed with his finger. There was a constant in the impermanence.
This finger shortened the distance and arrived first even though it was launched later. It was as if it was waiting on the road and pointed at the black shadow.
The black shadow disappeared and returned to one place. The two index fingers were facing each other.
There seemed to be a moment of stillness between heaven and earth. The two index fingers touching each other were like a painting.
A strong wind blew. Jiang Hengchuan took three steps back. Each step broke the floor. Snake King's body leaned back and flew backward. He could no longer stay close to the ground.
However, he was very cunning. The angle he chose to attack was very clever. He flew backward toward the entrance of the secret passage.
Suddenly, the pupils of the Snake King contracted violently. Meng Qi's fluttering white robe was reflected in his eyes. Even though he had yet to draw his sword, the Snake King could already feel a sharp sword will penetrating his Vital Spirit. His eyebrows, his eyes, his body, and his aura were all proud and sharp swords!
This sword had been formed before he attacked. It was terrifying!
Then, the long sword was thrust. Snake King could no longer see Mengqi's figure. He could only see the brilliant sword light that was like a rainbow flying out of the sky.
There was no change in this sword. True Qi, power, aura, and spirit had all merged into one. There was no way out. It was difficult to distinguish the man from the sword!
It was so amazing, like an immortal flying from the sky. Snake King couldn't describe it with his own words. He felt a kind of shock from the bottom of his heart. He felt powerless to resist.
What a beautiful sword light.
What a terrifying sword.
Snake King was in midair. It was difficult for him to dodge. His facial muscles twisted. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood. He forced himself to resist.
His body folded in the middle, and then continued to fold, "coiling" his head and neck inside.
When the sword light reached his body, Mengqi first felt a disgusting slipperiness. The long sword slid to the side. It was difficult to pierce through, but his muscles were like stone. It was difficult to advance.
Snake King stretched out his left hand and patted the blade. He was like a ball, bouncing to the other side.
He stretched his body and stood up again. There was a sword wound in his lower abdomen. A few drops of blood flowed out, but they were quickly stopped by his wriggling muscles.
Mengqi landed on the ground. Jiang Hengchuan entered, sealing off any possibility of Snake King escaping.
"What do you want?" Snake King raised his fists and asked in a hoarse voice. Since he couldn't escape, he had to ask the other party's true intentions. He didn't want to fight in vain.
When he was young, he was a killer who could exchange his life for his opponent's. Now that he was old, he didn't want to risk his life.
Snake King felt that he didn't understand the value of life when he was young and ignorant. When he had experienced enough, he realized that life was an unparalleled treasure. It was an irreplaceable treasure that he would never have again if he lost it.
Of course, it was limited to his own. He didn't care about others.
Seeing that Snake King was showing signs of giving in, Jiang Hengchuan said with Secret Voice-sending, "First make up a reason to lure him to the killer yard. Don't directly ask Wolf King or why he keeps going there. Otherwise, he'll risk his life to keep the secret."
Mengqi agreed with Jiang Hengchuan's words. If Snake King really wanted to risk his life, things would be difficult.
It wasn't that Meng Qi and Jiang Hengchuan couldn't take down an old and weak Half-step Exterior Scenery-level master. It was the extent of their effort and the risks they were prepared to take. If Jiang Zhiwei and the others were here, Mengqi could use Violent Thunder Shocking the Sky with Purple Thunder Force and activate Heaven Inflicted Pain. He could ignore his injuries and fight with all his might. After all, he had companions to back him up. Even if he was seriously injured, there would be someone to protect him.
But the person beside him was Jiang Hengchuan, who couldn't even be considered a friend. If he fought with all his might and Jiang Hengchuan harbored evil intentions, what should he do?
Jiang Hengchuan must also be worried about him!
Therefore, the two of them didn't dare to use their full strength. If Snake King hadn't tried to escape in the beginning and fought with all his might, he would have had a 70 to 80 percent chance of escaping unscathed.
Unfortunately, Snake King didn't know what the two of them were thinking. He thought that they had come together and were companions who trusted each other.
"I have a nephew who was abducted to Maoling. After my investigation, he entered your killer yard at the bottom of North Street." Mengqi brandished his sword and saber, ready to attack at any time. His clothes were still as white as snow, without a speck of dust.
Snake King was slightly stunned. "Where?"
"Sure enough, there's a problem …" Mengqi said calmly, "Please lead us there, Snake King, so that the person in charge doesn't take matters into his own hands and end the child's life."
Snake King thought for a moment. "Okay! But this is your information. If it's not accurate, don't blame me. "
"As long as you cooperate." Mengqi answered briefly. With Snake King leading them into the killer yard, they didn't have to worry about alerting the enemy. When the time came, they could find a chance to use Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth to "interrogate" the person in charge inside. Then they would know who was hiding and where.
"What else do you want me to do?" Snake King asked when he saw that the two of them weren't moving.
Jiang Hengchuan said, "We're afraid that you'll play tricks and secretly use Secret Voice-sending to order your subordinates to set up a trap to kill us. So, please take a Soul-essence Oath that you won't use Secret Voice-sending tonight. If we don't attack you first, you can't attack us …"
