Although the Holy Temple is one of the four major families in the world, and it has a lot of power, its family is not as large as the Tang Clan and Xiaoyao Clan. In fact, there are only three people in the Temple family, father and son, who can truly be considered a family. In addition, there are helpers such as the swordsman Qin Gang, but they are not considered one of the temple families.
The reason why it is listed as one of the four major families is that it is located in the capital and its geographical location is very important. What’s more, it is very close to the Imperial East Factory, and its influence has already penetrated into every corner of the capital.
Dongchang was originally on the same side as the Temple, but why didn't he come out to support Sheng Lingren this time?
On the one hand, Dongchang Shi Zhong still understood that Sheng Lingren had embarked on a road of no return. In fact, he was forced to go to Liangshan because the Guanyin case was exposed. Shi Zhong was not optimistic about Sheng Lingren's action at all, because he also felt that Sheng Lingren was just a trapped beast still fighting. Shi Zhong is a smart man, and he will never use his power in the East Factory to make any big head-turning troubles with Sheng Ling people.
Furthermore, just a few days before the martial arts competition, many masters in Dongchang were actually injured by a mysterious man. Shi Zhong felt that Dongchang was embarrassed by this matter, so he asked them to temporarily hand over the matters in their hands, and then secretly hid in the palace to recuperate. Even if Shi Zhong wanted to rebel with Sheng Lingren, he actually didn't have all the cards in his hand. This was also the main objective reason.
Sheng Lingren did not get his greatest help, which was actually an important reason for his failure. If there was enough time, he could wait for Dongchang to regain his strength, and then act with them to jointly deal with the imperial court, Prince Xiao. The chance of winning might be much greater. You know, Prince Xiao is not only the enemy of the temple, but also a thorn in Dongchang's side. However, Prince Xiao's actions no longer allowed Sheng Lingren to hesitate, so he had to take the lead in attacking. If he loses, he loses, and he has nothing to say.
When Dongchang Shi Zhong saw Sheng Lingren's defeat, in order to protect himself, he would quickly cut off the relationship and never have anything to do with Sheng Lingren again.
Sheng Lingren and most of the temple disciples were wiped out. Sheng Moming not only surrendered to King Xiao in advance, but also rescued the fifth line from trouble. Naturally, he was a meritorious person. Sheng Zhiqiang rebelled against the enemy and severely wounded the leader of the thieves, Sheng Lingren. Although his actions were shameful for a gentleman, he still rescued the emperor after all. Prince Xiao saw that these two young men had made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion, and did not want to kill all the temple members, so he stopped pursuing the two men and only took Sheng Lingren and many of the imperial forest rebels into custody.
Master Mei Yun and Chief Shen of the Yulin Sect were not originally from Sheng Lingren's group. If they hadn't set a trap for Sheng Lingren first, Sheng Lingren might not have been fooled. Therefore, the Emei and Yulin factions also contributed equally. Such as Laughing Moon Song, Jade Rakshasa and others, not to mention, they have now become the representatives of righteous people in the world.
However, in this matter, there seems to be someone who is more disappointed than Sheng Lingren, and that is Qin Gang, the Skeleton Sword.
It is said that Qin Gang was not a bad person in the first place, but during these years under Sheng Lingren, he did all kinds of bad things and offended many good men in the world.
Qin Gang was also self-aware. He even felt that even if Prince Xiao could let Sheng Lingren go, he would definitely not let him go. Because many of Sheng Lingren's evil deeds were carried out by him. He is the executioner of Sheng Lingren. Following Sheng Lingren's orders, he not only killed many people, but also offended many others. He is now incompatible with the fifth line, and the Kunlun sect already knows that Xue Qianhe's death is related to him, and they are sworn in with him. This is why Hu Daiwei, the Slow Sword God, was the first to hunt him down after seeing him escape.
Although Hu Daiwei doesn't like his father-in-law Xue Qianhe, he still has a relationship with Xue Qingrou. Xue Qingrou wants to avenge her father, and Hu Daiwei cannot sit idly by.
At this time, most of the heroes from all walks of life have experienced a fierce battle, and many of them were seriously injured. Only the Slow Sword God Hu Daiwei has never fought against a real master. Of course, it's none of my business and I don't have to worry about it. This martial arts competition is essentially a battle for status among the four major families. If I get caught up in it rashly, it may not be a good thing, but it will only make things more chaotic.
Qin Gang is a very strange person. Because of Xiao Yurong, he obviously has irreconcilable conflicts with Sheng Lingren, but he still works for him willingly. Now that Sheng Lingren was completely defeated, he should have been happy, but instead he was very disappointed.
No one can understand him, and no one knows what he is thinking.
However, he must escape, and Xiao Yurong must escape too.
Qin Gang still saw these two points very clearly.
Qin Gang and Xiao Yurong were both strong in martial arts. It was a bit of a fluke that they suddenly escaped from the palace before anyone else noticed.
At that time, there were many top martial arts masters in the palace, such as Laughing Moon Song, Fifth Line and others. Their martial arts at this time were far superior to Qin Gang.
After Qin Gang and Xiao Yurong escaped from the palace, they knew they could no longer stay in the capital, so they left the city directly. The capital city was in an uproar and was in chaos because of the martial arts conference and the temple rebellion. Qin Gang and Xiao Yurong left the city in confusion, but were not discovered by the guards.
However, when they had not gone far out of the city, they suddenly realized that something was wrong. There was someone following them behind them.
Anyone who can stay with them for such a long time must not be an ordinary person.
"You go first, I'll go back and take a look." Qin Gang said coldly to Xiao Yurong.
"No, let's go together!" Xiao Yurong obviously didn't want to leave alone.
"Don't worry! I can't die yet. I will go find you." Qin Gang said, and he came back with his sword.
Qin hadn't gone far just now when he saw the person chasing him, it was Hu Daiwei, the God of Slow Sword.
"It turns out to be Brother Hu. You have been chasing us for so long. Do you have something to say to us?" Qin Gang asked with a half-smile.
"Your master has been punished, do you still want to escape?" Hu Daiwei did not answer, but went straight to the topic.
"I am a swordsman, I have no master. My master is my sword." Qin Gang replied coldly
"Hmph! Your master has just fallen, and you deny him so quickly? It seems that you are indeed an ungrateful fellow!" Hu Daiwei snorted sarcastically.
"Brother Hu, could it be that you, like the fifth line, have become a lackey of the imperial court?" Qin Gang retorted.
"Stooges? Only those who help the tyrants do evil, kill innocent people indiscriminately, and have no moral integrity are the real lackeys." Hu Daiwei disagreed and retorted directly.
"Forget it! It's useless to tell you so much. I know you are here to arrest me. Since you want to arrest me, why don't you do it?" Qin Gang didn't need to entangle so much with Hu Daiwei.
Among swordsmen, it is best to let the sword speak. What Qin just said was actually too much because he wanted to buy Xiao Yurong more time to escape.
In fact, Qin Gang has long been a person who has no regard for life and death. The only person in the world who can influence him is Xiao Yurong.
"Okay! Don't you have anything to say between you and me?"
Before Hu Daiwei finished speaking, the Haotian Sword had already been unsheathed, because he had to avenge his father-in-law Xue Qianhe, just for his wife.
Hu Daiwei's swordsmanship focuses on slowness, while Qin Gang, the skeleton swordsman, is a traditional swordsman, and his swordsmanship is naturally focused on speed. Although Qin Gang ranks behind Hu Daiwei, he is obviously a person who refuses to admit defeat. A swordsman, even if he encounters a more powerful opponent than himself, will never retreat easily and must show his courage with his sword.
Qin Gang never lacks courage when facing any swordsman. His skull sword has long been unsheathed, and his soul-stealing sword has been thrust out. His swordsmanship was much faster than that of Hu Daiwei, so his sword move was the last to strike and stabbed Hu Daiwei's chest. However, the most distinctive feature of Hu Daiwei's swordsmanship is using slowness to control fastness.
Qin Gang's sword move was too fast, but Hu Daiwei was obviously prepared for it. He lowered his body and Qin Gang immediately missed the sword. At the same time, his sword move hit Qin Gang's lower abdomen.
Although Qin Gang's swordsmanship was excellent, Hu Daiwei's slow and fast swordsmanship was just right. Qin Gang's sword moves can only gain momentum, but they cannot cause damage to the opponent. On the contrary, although Hu Daiwei's sword skills were slow, they seemed to be carefully calculated. He could just find the flaw in Qin Gang's sword moves every time, and then stab Qin Gang's vital point. Qin Gang attacked several times with his fast sword, but not only did he not succeed, but he was almost injured by Hu Daiwei's slow sword.
Hu Daiwei ranks second on the swordsman list. Except for Laughing Moon Song, no one should be better than him in martial arts. Qin Gang's swordsmanship is indeed very strong, but it is still very difficult to win against a master of swordsmanship like Hu Daiwei.
The reason why Hu Daiwei came to hunt Qin Gang was actually because of his wife Xue Qingrou. Because of Xue Qianhe's death, Xue Qingrou has been depressed these days. Hu Daiwei knows that if she cannot avenge her father, she will never be happy.
Therefore, Hu Daiwei still tried his best to fight Qin Gang for his wife's sake. It's just that Qin Gang just wants to escape now. If he wasn't afraid that Xiao Yurong wouldn't be able to escape, he would never come back to fight with Hu Daiwei again.
Qin Gang is a master of fast swords, but he knows nothing about slow swords. Of course, in the entire world, there are not many people who know Manjian well. Therefore, it was always difficult for Qin Gang to take advantage of him when he fought against the slow sword god Hu Daiwei. Even for people like Wu Xing who know Hu Daiwei very well, it is difficult for him to take advantage of Hu Daiwei.
Hu Daiwei went all out. Although his sword moves were slow, he was indeed very powerful. It only took a few moves, but Qin Gang was already at a slight disadvantage. Hu Daiwei took advantage of the victory to pursue, and suddenly used Rou Jue. His sword moves instantly carried the supreme sword energy, and actually pressed towards Qin Gang in the form of air waves.
If it was said to be palm power, Qin Gang might still believe it, but it turned out to be sword energy. Qin Gang didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
When Qin Gang saw Hu Daiwei using his special move, he didn't dare to take it head-on. He suddenly fired several hidden weapons, then turned around and ran for his life first.
Hu Daiwei missed him with a soft kill, but suddenly saw several hidden weapons coming at him, only almost injuring him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and just managed to avoid these hidden weapons. However, Qin Gang had already escaped without a trace at this time.
