Chapter 962

The green mountains were covered in snow and the mountain paths were muddy. Mengqi did not have to wait too long before entering Dragon-rocky Mountain. There were not many Exterior experts here at the border of the two provinces, so their deterrence was limited. If the monks behind the scenes were decisive in killing, the lineup of assassins from Unrelenting Tower might be quite grand. It might not be enough to deter them from acting rashly and might even turn an assassination into an open attack.

Therefore, Mengqi decided to speed up his pace. Taking advantage of the fact that there was only one Red-stair assassin along this route, he crossed Dragon-rocky Mountain and entered the territory of Qin Province. It was not far from Shaolin Temple and had a strong culture of Kung Fu. Many lay disciples of Shaolin Temple flourished there and there were more Exterior experts. The Six Fan School also had more Silver-badge and Green-ribbon guards.

The number of Orange-stair assassins from Unrelenting Tower and above could be counted on one hand. Some of them only had one or two. The world was so big and there were so many businesses. There were less than five who could deal with a mere enlightenment stage cultivator like him, and they could not afford to lose them. When the time came, the attention of Southern Qin Province would be on them and they would retreat.

All sorts of pros and cons flashed through Mengqi's mind, urging him to enter Dragon-rocky Mountain.

At this time, it was impossible for an Exterior expert to come out and protect him. First, there were few chivalrous people like that. He could only use rewards and rewards from aristocratic families and sects as bait to get them to follow him secretly and "prey". Second, Mengqi also hoped that they would hide in the dark. If the Unrelenting Tower knew the number of experts he had, they would definitely make corresponding arrangements. On the other hand, the unknown would make them hesitate in taking action. Without a clear understanding of the opponent's situation, they would not be able to make a targeted move. For an assassin, they would rather not do it.

Usually, an assassin would have a general understanding of the situation and the target would be at its weakest.

Cui Hao and the others watched as Mengqi entered the mountain. After a moment of deliberation, they actually followed him secretly. If they encountered an assassin of the Red-stair, Orange-stair or above, they would definitely sit by and not take risks. However, if it was a Gold-stair assassin, they might have to do something chivalrous. As long as they could kill one or two, they would immediately become famous.

Mengqi walked on the mountain path when he suddenly heard a shout behind him.

"Young hero in front, please wait!"

Mengqi held his saber horizontally and turned his head to look at them without a word.

The leader was a Jianghu hero wearing a large fur coat. He cupped his fists and said, "Everyone has the right to kill the Nine Evil Paths. If you don't mind, we are willing to go with you and fight against the killers of the Unrelenting Tower."

Meng Qi waved his long saber, signaling them not to come closer. He smiled and returned the salute. "Dear heroes, killers are good at hiding and changing their appearances. I'd rather go alone than have someone assassinate me in the dark. If you have the intention, you can follow me quietly and wait for the killers to appear before surrounding them."

At present, it seemed that even if a Golden-ranked assassin set up a killing trap, it would not be able to do anything to him. However, as the saying goes, it is easy to dodge a spear in the open, but difficult to guard against a stab in the dark. If someone around him who he trusted and did not have much precaution against suddenly attacked him, he might fall into the trap. It was unknown how many experts had died in the hands of their relatives, disciples, and friends who were inferior to them in martial arts!

The Jianghu man was a little embarrassed at being rejected, but he had no choice but to follow Mengqi into the forest by the side of the road with a group of brothers.

Dragon-rocky Mountain appeared quiet and desolate, but in the pine forest and in the snow, there were many Enlightened Acupores masters hiding.

Mengqi stepped on the snow, squeaking. He did not bother to leave any traces, but just ran at full speed, trying to cross the forest as quickly as possible.

Night came. Clouds covered the moon and the mountain was dark. From time to time, terrifying roars of demonic beasts could be heard from the depths, echoing in the quiet and lonely air.

Mengqi had been running for a few days. He slowed down a little and took out water and dry food from the Space Ring to replenish his strength in case he was too tired and could not use his full strength.

He did not start a fire to boil water and hunt for food. First, he was in a hurry. Second, he was afraid that the assassins were good at poisons and could secretly poison him. He was relieved to have water and dry food prepared in advance.

A Mountain Deity Temple appeared on the road ahead. Because it was a place for pedestrians to rest and shelter from the rain, it was quite neat. Inside, there was a little fire, jumping orange and warm in the winter night, making people want to go in and warm their feet.

"I don't know who is inside …" Mengqi was about to pass the Mountain Deity Temple and continue on his way.

"Young master, the winter night is cold and it is hard to travel. Why don't you come in and have a rest?" A female voice suddenly came from the Mountain Deity Temple.

The voice was soft and pleasant, like a hand scratching his heart. At the same time, Mengqi seemed to smell the fragrance of food, cosmetics, and pine trees on the side of the road mixed together to form an indescribable smell.

The mountain walls were thick and the forest was dense, forming a natural shelter from the wind. Only a gentle breeze blew past, but it was difficult to disperse this smell.

"Something's wrong." Mengqi suddenly realized that it was difficult to circulate his genuine Qi. If he was not careful, he would fall into the trap!

Without batting an eyelid, he took out the Sedative and Poison Pill. He covered his nose and put it in his mouth. The medicine spread and entered his body. The poison was quickly eliminated and returned to normal.

Just then, there was a loud bang. The mountain road shook and thick smoke filled the air. Someone had used an unknown number of Thunder Shock Stones!

Then, a firework flew out from the Mountain Deity Temple, shooting into the air and exploding brilliantly!

"'Killing Blade' Su Meng. I've heard of your name for a long time. Now that I've met you, you're just so-so." A man's voice came from the bend in front of him. He was approaching quickly.

He was of medium build, and there was not even a blade of grass growing on his head, making him look like a smooth marinated egg. His eyebrows were thick, his eyes deep, his nose slightly flat, and his lips plump.

The man was in his thirties, wearing a dark red robe that was almost black. He held a blood-red long saber in his hand.

Mengqi waited for the medicine to completely dissolve. He held the sword in his left hand and the saber in his right hand. He was in no hurry to attack. He said calmly, "Flame-scorching Devilman? I didn't expect you to be involved in this. Aren't you afraid of being surrounded and sent to the Six Fan School to claim the reward? Or have you joined the Unrelenting Tower? "

The man had a special appearance. Mengqi recognized him immediately. He was Flame-scorching Devilman, one of the 19 Devilmen of the Destruction Sect. His strength was among the top five Devilmen!

He cultivated the "Roaring Flame Devil Blade". Although his progress was slow, he had a solid foundation. Although he was not on the Ranking List of Young Masters before he turned 35, he was already close to the Heaven-man Connection at the age of 40. He would have plenty of time to break through to the Exterior in the future. According to the Six Fan School, he was ranked in the top ten of the Ranking List of Young Masters.

"I'm doing well in the Destruction Sect. Why would I betray the Unrelenting Tower? I'm here to take your life today! "Flame-scorching Devilman laughed. He was also in no hurry to attack. He seemed to be waiting for something." As for the heroes? The Thunder Shock Stones collected by the Luo Denomination's' Green Cultivator 'have already blown up the mountain road. They'll probably not make it in time to send you off. "

His words were harsh and aggressive. They had started a spiritual battle right from the start.

The Luo Denomination's' Green Cultivator '. Mengqi was shocked. Not only was the Destruction Sect involved, but the Luo Denomination had also sent someone?

A green figure walked up the mountain road behind him. His footsteps were light, as if he was floating on the ground. His face was thin and pale, as if he had suffered internal injuries.

"Shadow Cold Palm? You're the Luo Denomination's Cultivator! "With the information from the Six Fan School, Mengqi also recognized the person blocking his way.

The newcomer's nickname was' Shadow Cold Palm '. He was a famous evil person of the Heterodox Sect. He had broken through the Hidden Latch of Life and Death seven to eight years ago and reached the Half-step Exterior Scenery. However, the Devil Skill he cultivated was extremely dangerous. Later, he suffered Qi-deviancy Derangement and barely managed to keep his life. However, his strength was greatly reduced and he was left with internal injuries that were difficult to treat. Every time he injured someone with his palm, it was equivalent to injuring himself. Therefore, he had disappeared in recent years and rarely fought. Who would have thought that he would become the Luo Denomination's' Green Cultivator '? Or had he always been?

"You should be honored to be able to use your death to heal my internal injuries." The Green Cultivator's voice was hoarse and erratic.

He was famous for his Lightness Skill. Previously, no one had noticed him following behind Mengqi!

Flame-scorching Devilman alone was not easy to deal with. With the addition of the Green Cultivator and the poisoned woman in the temple, Mengqi suddenly had the same feeling as when Jiang Hengchuan had faced Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu, and himself.

"Master Su, you didn't attack first. Could it be that you're waiting for the help of the Exterior masters near Dragon-cliff?" The woman walked out of the temple. Her hair was tied up in a bun and her lotus-colored dress fluttered in the wind. She had a beautiful appearance and a beautiful smile. There was even a beauty mole at the corner of her mouth.

She held a jade flute in her left hand that shone with an azure light. It was eye-catching.

"'Soul-losing Flute' Lin Biyu?" Mengqi recognized her from the beauty mole and the jade flute.

She was also a Heterodox Master, adept at Sound Skill and poisoning. Although she looked to be in her early twenties, she was actually in her forties. She had the cultivation of Nine Acupores. Even if she was not as good as Flame-scorching Devilman and the Green Cultivator, her ability to attack and control from a distance was still a headache!

Such a lineup was much stronger than the one in the city. Even if it was not as terrifying as the one Mengqi, Jiang Zhiwei, and Ruan Yushu had once joined forces to kill Jiang Hengchuan, it was not far off.

"You shouldn't have destroyed Civil Star's plan and killed Fire Lord. You must have pulled some strings in the human world to get the chance." Lin Biyu smiled. "Dragon-cliff City is in a mess right now. A yellow-stair assassin and two red-stair assassins may not be able to fight against the nearby Exterior masters and were a step too late to directly attack you, but it's enough to draw the masters away."

There was actually a yellow-stair assassin. This was much stronger than the orange-stair assassin Mengqi had imagined. The monk behind the scenes was truly merciless and decisive. He had crushed them with the force of a thunderbolt. Fortunately, Meng Qi had responded appropriately!

He had not expected the Myths to still hold a grudge against him. Although they had not directly appeared, they had taken advantage of the situation to help him.

But where did they get their grasp on his whereabouts from? He was definitely not on their revenge list. It was impossible for a Peerless Master Pro or above to pay attention to him.

Could it be that the monk behind the scenes had a close relationship with the Myths?

That was the only explanation …

"So there's no help for the time being." Mengqi suddenly smiled. "I'm waiting, and I'm afraid you're waiting as well. Waiting for the poison to take effect, waiting for a stronger helper?"

Lin Biyu chuckled. "I didn't know you had such an outstanding antidote."

Flame-scorching Devilman's expression was leisurely. "Yes, there's another red-stair assassin coming over the mountain. You can't escape."

Flame-scorching Devilman's honest admission pressured Mengqi. It made him feel hopeless and uneasy, crushing him mentally. There was no room for carelessness in a fight between experts.

Mengqi's expression turned serious. He looked at the long saber and precious sword in front of him and said calmly,

"It doesn't matter. I'll just kill you before he does!"

He took a step forward, his aura surging. Like an unsheathed saber, he shouted,

"If you want to kill me, at least one of you will die with me. Who's next?"

Mengqi's roar reverberated from afar. Before he made his move, he had already pointed out the trio's flaws and shaken their confidence.

The three of them belonged to different forces. This was the first time they had teamed up, so it was difficult for them to trust each other. They could not cooperate like Meng Qi, Jiang Zhiwei, and Ruan Yushu. The fact that they had delayed their attacks and looked out for themselves while waiting for the red-stair assassin was proof of that. As long as he grasped the situation and made good use of it, he had a chance of winning!

One monk carried water to drink, two monks carried water to drink, three monks had no water to drink!
