Cheng Maoyuan looked at Cheng Ling coldly and said, "You brat, you are not enough!"
Cheng Ling said calmly: "You won't know until you fight whether it's enough or not." After saying that, the powerful sword power was released, and he struck out with a single stroke of Shanshui.
Cheng Maoyuan's face changed dramatically, and he said in shock: "Nascent Soul is perfect, you have hidden your cultivation." But before he could finish speaking, the sharp sword energy swung towards him.
Suddenly encountering such a spatial sword move, Cheng Maoyuan had no ability to resist and could only retreat, trying to distance himself. But then, the sword moves in Cheng Ling's hand followed up. The artistic conception of the mountain and river killing was illusory, and he could only try to avoid the key points.
"Crack!"
A big gash was cut on his chest, and he was injured with just one move. Cheng Maoyuan was shocked. He drew a circle of light with his hands and held up an illusory defensive shield in front of him.
"Seven Purple Flame Swords"
The red flame sword brought up a burst of fire, and the scorching fire energy followed the dance of the long sword, and attacked in one shot, constantly consuming the energy in the defensive light shield.
laugh! laugh! laugh! laugh!
The red flame sword rubbed against the light shield, making soft sounds. Soon, the light shield in Cheng Maoyuan's hand was blown to pieces. He jumped back quickly, but Cheng Ling used his body skills to stick to his body tightly, not giving the other party a chance to breathe.
Cheng Maoyuan has been in the world of cultivation for many years and has never seen any kind of battle scenes, but he never expected that he would be completely at a disadvantage the moment he came into contact with Cheng Ling. If he hadn't been experienced in fighting, flying his hands up and down, and firing spells desperately, he would have been unable to hold on long ago.
But at this time, his situation was already very bad. Cheng Ling's attack was like a gust of wind and rain, sticking close to him, completely unable to take advantage of the spell. Moreover, the opponent's swordsmanship is very superb, especially the speed and power of the sword.
In the past, when facing monks of the same level, his defensive light shield could often last for at least one stick of incense, which gave him a chance to breathe. But Cheng Ling's sword skills were extremely sharp. In just a few moves, the defensive light shield was torn apart like rags.
Additionally, he suffered several sword wounds on his body. Sword intent! He is a swordsman who understands the meaning of the sword, and the level of the sword's intention is not low! A thought flashed through his mind. What Fa Xiu was most afraid of was meeting a swordsman who understood the meaning of the sword.
Their attacks were at least twice as powerful as those of ordinary monks. With the blessing of their swords, they were extremely sharp, and the defensive light shield created with magic was simply impossible to withstand.
Cheng Maoyuan secretly regretted that if he had known that the opponent was a swordsman who understood the meaning of the sword, he would have made more preparations, at least adding some defensive measures. But now, there is no use regretting it. Cheng Ling's sword strikes are getting faster and faster, laying a fine sword net around him.
The artistic conception of fire was integrated, and the power generated by the Seven Purple Flame Swords was doubled. Waves of scorching sword energy hit Cheng Maoyuan, and within a moment, the rhythm was completely disrupted. Cheng Ling's eyes flashed, and he seized the momentary flaw, and two sharp sword energy passed through!
laugh! laugh!
"Ah~~!"
A long and shrill cry came out, Cheng Maoyuan separated his hands and arms, and the red flame sword was already pressed against his throat. Where the hands were broken, bursts of pain came from the fire. The fire on the red flame sword not only cut off both arms, but also burned the muscles in the shoulders, giving off an unpleasant burnt smell!
"Kill if you want! Cheng admits defeat today!" Cheng Maoyuan gritted his teeth and said coldly!
"Hmph, you do have some backbone, and you are worthy of being an elder of the Cheng family. How many children of the Cheng family are left in Qingliufang City?" Cheng Ling asked calmly!
"Stop talking nonsense, what kind of scene do I have?
I've seen it before. Wanting to know the news about the Cheng family from me is simply delusional! "
"Is Cheng Maogong in Fangshi?"
Cheng Maoyuan paused and asked in surprise: "Who are you? How do you know the name of the third brother!"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm asking you now!"
"Hmph, so what, if I don't explain my relationship with Third Brother clearly, I can't even hope to get any information from this elder!"
"It seems that you still don't know the situation in front of you. I am a swordsman and others are fish and meat! As long as I think about it, if the dignified ninth elder of the Cheng family were stripped naked and hung outside the gate of Qingliufang City, it would be shocking! In the past, those who were bullied by you If the monks saw it, they would definitely be very happy!"
"How dare you!" Cheng Maoyuan looked fierce but was extremely frightened. He is really not afraid of killing him. He has done a lot of harmful things in his life, and he will get retribution sooner or later. But if he was stripped naked and hung at the entrance of Fangshi, it would be a big loss.
Not only that, but the Cheng family's face will be lost. He said angrily: "Boy, my Cheng family has been inherited for thousands of years. You alone cannot compete with me. Kill or scrape, you have to do whatever you want. Such humiliation is not what a man would do."
Cheng Ling sneered and said: "Man? When you bully others, have you ever thought about the other person's mood? Today, I will let you taste the humiliation. Do you want to say it? If you don't say it, I have plenty of means to deal with it!"
Cheng Maoyuan stared at him fiercely, and after a long while, he said helplessly: "What exactly do you want to know?"
"It's very simple. How many children of the Cheng family are there in the city? Where are Cheng Maogong, Cheng Honggang, and Cheng Hongjie?"
"I sent 600 people to come here this time, and there are more than 4,000 Cheng family children in Fang City. As for the third brother, Hong Gang, and Hong Jie, they are all in the north!"
"Very good, since you are so understanding, then write another letter for me and ask them to come back!"
Cheng Maoyuan's expression changed and he asked, "Who are you and what grudges do you have with my Cheng family?"
Cheng Ling said coldly: "This is none of your business. I just ask you whether to write or not!"
Cheng Maoyuan closed his eyes and said helplessly: "Kill me!"
Cheng Ling's eyes turned cold, and with two swipes of swords, he cut off the tendons on Cheng Maoyuan's feet, and then pointed at his Dantian.
"Ah~! You are so cruel, you actually destroyed my Dantian!"
"Hmph, I'm going to kill you because I'm afraid of dirtying my hands. From today on, your cultivation will be ruined, so just watch the fate of the Cheng family!"
After saying that, he grabbed his body that fell limply to the ground and left the formation space.
Not long after waiting, Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan also came outside the formation. Gu Youlan was still holding an old man in her hand. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it was Shopkeeper Song from Qingliu Dan Shop!
Cheng Ling chuckled and glanced at Gu Youlan appreciatively. He pulled Cheng Maoyuan in front of Song Yuan and said calmly: "Shopkeeper Song, I am interested in doing business with you. I didn't expect you to have ulterior motives. What else can I say now!"
Song Yuan looked at Cheng Maoyuan's tragic situation, shivered smartly, and said in a trembling voice: "This has nothing to do with me, it's all the Ninth Elder's idea, and I don't want to do it either. Your Excellency, please show your respect!"
Cheng Ling was amused. This Song Yuan was not a direct descendant of the Cheng family. His true nature was revealed after a slight scare. Such a person was really easy to deal with.
He nodded and stared at Song Yuan for a long time. He looked at the other person until his scalp was numb, and then he said calmly: "It's not impossible to let you go! But...!"
Song Yuan perked up and said hurriedly: "If you have any requests, please tell me. Song will definitely be satisfied!"
"Is the Cheng family's alchemist in the alchemy shop?"
"Yes, they are at Qingliu Danpu!"
"How many people are there and what level are they?"
"There are two of them, both are sixth-grade alchemy masters!"
Cheng Ling exposed himself and said: "Master of alchemy, you may not be right! Is this what the refined elixir looks like?"
Song Yuan smiled bitterly and could only tell the deeds of the two alchemists of the Cheng family one by one. After he finished, he said: "My master must also be a master of alchemy. Look at it, the level is still above them!"
Cheng Ling curled his lips and smiled to himself, what the hell, a sixth-grade grandmaster can barely be called a fifth-grade master, not even as good as himself. He continued to ask: "Does your alchemy shop have any elixir recipes?"
"I don't know about this, but the elixir prescriptions are usually in the hands of two alchemists."
Cheng Ling nodded silently and said: "In that case, Shopkeeper Song, there are a few things for you to do right now. If you do it well, I won't do anything to you. You will continue to be the shopkeeper of your alchemy shop, but the people you serve will It’s time to change, not for the Cheng family, but for me!”
Song Yuan was shocked. This young man was very mysterious. Not only was he a master of alchemy, but he also knew the formations. He could defeat Cheng Maoyuan and was extremely powerful. But if he betrays the Cheng family, there will probably be no place for him in the entire south in the future!
He looked at Cheng Ling sadly and said, "Your Excellency, I appreciate Song's great love. If you betray the Cheng family in the south, I'm afraid there will be no place for you, so I'd better let you leave!"
Cheng Ling shook his head. He had his own considerations in conquering Song Yuan. In the south, the Cheng family is definitely a behemoth. If they can bring Song Yuan under their control, many things will be convenient. Taking control of the resources of the Cheng family is like taking the firewood out of the cauldron, and it will definitely mess them up.
"Don't worry, since you are allowed to be used by me, I will naturally ensure your safety. I have a bottle of Xuanyuan Dan here. I believe you also know its efficacy, which is enough to elevate you to Nascent Soul Consummation. By then, I will still be by your side The formation is arranged in the residence, and even if the ancestors of the Cheng family are dispatched, they will not be able to break through it for a while!"
Song Yuan was shocked and asked, "Is this true?"
"Naturally, if you believe in me, open your mind and I will give you some protection. Naturally, these are not for nothing. I want to plant a restriction. You can think about it yourself. But you only have one time. If you miss the opportunity, Cheng Maoyuan is your role model!"
The combination of kindness and power made Song Yuan suffer in his heart. After this failure, Cheng Maoyuan's cultivation was abolished. Even if he returned safely, he would probably be severely punished by the Cheng family. I don't know if I can save my life. It's better to just take refuge with Cheng Ling, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope.
He pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, Song's life will be left to your Excellency!"
After saying that, he opened his mind.
Cheng Ling nodded and pointed out, planting a restriction on him. From now on, with just one thought, Song Yuan's life and death can be controlled by him. However, he also left a sword energy for Song Yuan. This sword energy can be triggered instantly when he is in danger and save his life!
Song Yuanjing realized that the sword energy on his forehead was so powerful that he could not compete with it, and he gained a lot of confidence in Cheng Ling. Faintly, I have some recognition of his methods. I will tell you directly what I am going to do and let you choose for yourself.
He also felt the connection between his mind and Cheng Ling. Then he bowed and said, "Song Yuan pays homage to the master!"
Cheng Ling nodded and said, "My name is Cheng Ling. You can call me young master from now on! Now, tell me the situation of the Cheng family in detail, and we have to make some preparations!"
