Su Xinghe turned sideways to dodge the enemy's palm, his beard and beard spread out, his expression fierce, he glared at Ding Chunqiu and said: "Why do you call me master?"
"To be too old to die is to be a thief. I call him an old thief, so it's natural for me to call him an old thief!"
Ding Chunqiu laughed heartily, with an extremely arrogant look on his face. He even had time to glance at the expressions of the surrounding villa servants who were watching. It was a pity that no Xingxiu Sect disciples were praising his majesty from behind during this battle.
At the same time, he raised his left hand, and five points of blue-printed fire flew out of his sleeve, shooting towards Su Xinghe's body as fast as a meteor, blocking the opponent's dodge route; the color of his right hand dimmed slightly, threatening The fishy smell emitted by the poison was shot directly from the front.
Su Xinghe lowered his body, raised his palms diagonally upward to block the "marrow-sucking palm" in the air, and with the force of the rebound, it floated like a breeze to a rockery area more than ten feet away behind him.
There are several rockeries serving as household windows, and a pool of spring water surrounds the balcony.
Mantuo Villa occupies a large area, with flowers, trees, ponds, rockeries, pavilions and pavilions, which is elegant and deep. The camellias, rockeries, rocks and meandering water in the garden complement each other, which is an excellent design.
But these rockeries, for Su Xinghe, who is proficient in Qimen Dunjia and Bagua formations, have become an aid to him in dealing with the enemy.
Back then, he swore an oath to pretend to be deaf and mute in exchange for thirty years. During these thirty years, although his skill had greatly improved, Ding Chunqiu's progress was even faster.
Especially in terms of moves, his mind was disturbed by miscellaneous knowledge and he could never get a glimpse of the superior realm. He was no match for Ding Chunqiu who blended poison techniques with martial arts.
Thirty years ago, he couldn't beat him, but today the two are further apart in martial arts, so they can only avoid the edge temporarily and wait for the opportunity.
In the center of the rockery, Zhao Qing relied on the effect of "sympathy between heaven and man" to quietly lay down a layer of hazy and inexplicably neglectful fog in the dark night, covering his figure.
She observed Su Xinghe's use of Shilin as if no one else was around, and a new understanding of the Qimen gossip emerged in her heart.
The knowledge of Qimen Bagua can be used to set up formations that confuse the enemy's perception, and use the weak to block the strong, just like Huang Rong in "The Legend of Heroes" set up formations to deal with King Jinlun;
You can also use yourself as a variable in the Bagua, just like Su Xinghe did at this time. Without changing the environment, you can only temporarily form a "formation" to deal with the enemy through changes in your own position.
Can this kind of use of the environment be integrated into the "sympathy between nature and man" and the "unity of man and nature"?
"Su, do you think I can't do anything to you if you hide in the rock formation?"
Completely unaware of Zhao Qing's presence, Ding Chunqiu glanced at Su Xinghe, who suddenly passed behind a rock more than ten feet tall. He turned his head and said with a smile: "Qingluo, send your men into the house and take that Search out the old thief!"
Li Qingluo, wearing a goose-yellow silk shirt, nodded when she heard this, and waved her hands to let her two mothers-in-law, who were good at martial arts, enter the house to search.
In the battle just now, the destructive power of Su Xinghe and Ding Chunqiu's exchange made her quite frightened.
The martial arts demonstrated by Duan Zhengchun back then was definitely no match for the dozens of moves made by these two people, especially Ding Chunqiu, who was so skillful. If he had taken action himself afterwards, even if the three men and four guards of Dali teamed up with Duan Zhengchun, they would probably not be able to match him.
Thinking of this, the remaining guilt in her heart disappeared and turned into a vision of a better life after catching Duan Zhengchun in the future.
…
After letting people search the house, Ding Chunqiu gently stroked his flowing beard and jumped into the rockery forest.
Even if Su Xinghe is very accomplished in formations and can rely on his cooperation with the surrounding environment to greatly enhance the level of dodge and attack changes, he will still not be his opponent.
"Su, when faced with this supreme magic of mine, you'd better surrender as soon as possible and catch me without any help!"
Ding Chunqiu waved his robe sleeves and sprinkled something unknown on the rocks, instantly igniting a pale green flame on a rock.
Then he stretched out his thumb and index finger, and used his internal energy to draw it into the air. In the darkness, it looked like a long green python lying in the sky, swinging gently, with bright and strange colors, and flickering light.
Suddenly, the fire python branched out into dozens of thinner green fire snakes. Each one bent and twisted around the rocks in front, trying to force out Su Xinghe who might be hiding behind the rocks.
More than ten feet away, Zhao Qing hid his figure and watched the "magic" performed by Ding Chunqiu. He saw that it was a special martial art developed by adding materials such as sulfur, nitrate, and phosphorus, and blending it with the toxic true energy. .
In her opinion, Ding Chunqiu is indeed quite talented in martial arts innovation and can create such martial arts that incorporate chemical reactions.
However, Ding Chunqiu had gone astray in his internal training and was addicted to the praise of his disciples. It was impossible for him to go further.
Moreover, tonight, even if he didn't help, he would still die without a burial place under the attack of Wu Yazi and Su Xinghe.
It's better to just watch from the sidelines, watch Ding Chunqiu's performance of poisonous skills, and deal with Li Qingluo's matter afterwards, so that she will receive the punishment she deserves.
…
The power of Ding Chunqiu's poisonous flames is quite astonishing. After being divided into dozens of pieces, it is like growing dozens of green arms. They are constantly searching through the rockery forest, emitting bursts of pungent stench. taste.
"Qingluo, have you caught the old thief hiding in the house? After you deal with the one named Su, you will cut him into pieces and suffer for seven days and nights before he is executed."
Su Xinghe was not caught for the time being, so Ding Chunqiu seemed to be a little agitated and spoke outside the rockery forest.
Just as he finished speaking, a rockery next to him suddenly exploded. Su Xinghe's eyes were bright, and all his skills were concentrated in his palms. With the force of the flying gravel, he shot it towards Ding Chunqiu's vest.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Ding Chunqiu laughed, as if he had expected it, and swept back a few feet, removing most of the opponent's palm power.
At the same time, he flicked his left and right sleeves together, and the green fire burning around him suddenly rose up, its brightness soaring to a level that made it difficult to open his eyes. It pressed towards Su Xinghe like a wall of fire. He wanted to use this Use the "Catching Fire to Start a Prairie Fire" move to force your opponent into a state of internal strength competition.
Su Xinghe's expression changed with shock, but he had no time to dodge, so he had to use his palms to push towards the wall of fire. His clothes were inflated, like a sail full of wind. It could be seen that he had used his whole life's skills, but in the end it was not enough. One step ahead of the other party.
Ding Chunqiu was seen waving his robe sleeves one after another, and the wall of fire slowly pressed down on Su Xinghe, threatening to burn his body and burn it to charcoal.
However, in the next moment, a Bai Zhi palm appeared silently on Ding Chunqiu's side shoulder and pressed it down, sending him flying several feet away. He vomited blood and most of his left shoulder collapsed.
Hearing a whoosh, the wall of fire that was about to press down on Su Xinghe suddenly rolled back and burned directly onto Ding Chunqiu, causing his clothes, hair, and hair to catch fire.
It turned out that after discovering Li Qingluo's evil deeds, Wu Yazi and Su Xinghe immediately became wary and secretly checked whether their daily food was poisonous.
However, Li Qingluo knew that the two of them were Ding Chunqiu's classmates, and they were probably very good at treating poisons, but they didn't know how to do it.
In the past two days, because Zhao Qing provided a piece of news that "Ding Chunqiu may come in the near future," the two of them alternated vigils every night to prevent accidents.
Tonight, they saw the unusual movements of the villa's personnel from a distance, and the two of them immediately made a plan. Wu Yazi would ambush in the rockery forest in advance, and then let Su Xinghe lure the enemy deep enough for a sneak attack.
Now that they were somewhat certain of defeating Ding Chunqiu, it was natural for the two of them to avenge themselves with their own hands. There was no need to seek help from Zhao Qing, who had been a great kindness to them.
Originally, Ding Chunqiu thought he was sure to win. Just when he was feeling relaxed and complacent and unprepared, he was suddenly counterattacked and he couldn't help but panic.
In a hurry, he transferred his internal energy to his left shoulder, which had been collapsed by the force of his palm, and used poison to temporarily control the Beiming Qi raging in the wound.
At the same time, the whole person rolled on the ground several times, barely dodging several slaps from Wu Yazi, who had limited legs and feet, extinguishing the flames, and fled to the side of Li Qingluo and his party.
"You...are not injured!" Ding Chunqiu, whose beard and eyebrows were scorched and his clothes were burned to tatters, shouted anxiously: "Qingluo, what a fake news you spread!"
Taking advantage of the moment when Li Qingluo looked dazed and a little at a loss, he swayed and stepped back seven or eight feet. He grabbed a maid next to her with his backhand and threw it towards Wu Yazi who was pursuing her.
This is a sinister martial art in the Xingxiu sect called "Corrugated Corpse Poison". If you grab a living person, it's like getting a huge hidden weapon and throw it at the enemy.
In fact, when he grabbed the man, he had already caught him to death. The poison fed in his claws seeped into his blood, making the man's body covered with corpse poison. If the enemy used his palm to snatch the man away, he would not be able to touch the corpse. Not poisonous.
Even if it is pushed away with a sword, the corpse poison will be stained on the palm of the hand along the sword. Even if you dodge to avoid it, or hit with martial arts such as the air-piercing palm, you will inevitably be attacked by the poisonous gas.
Unless you have developed extremely powerful body-protecting Qi that can withstand poisonous gas, you can only avoid harm by using extreme lightness skills and escaping ten feet away.
Seeing that Wu Yazi seemed to be intact and his martial arts was superior to his, but he was injured and unable to compete with the opponent, Ding Chunqiu immediately used the most sinister "Corrending Corpse Poison" Kung Fu.
The whistling wind blew loudly, and eighty-nine Mantuo Villa maidservants were caught and thrown out by him with a volley of arrows. One after another, they flew towards Wu Yazi and Su Xinghe quickly and incoherently, just like launching a volley of arrows.
In Ding Chunqiu's view, Li Qingluo deliberately concealed Wu Yazi's recovery of martial arts, and she had undoubtedly defected to the enemy. It was perfectly reasonable to kill her men in the villa as props against the enemy.
Even if Li Qingluo did not surrender to the enemy, there would be no room for hesitation in this life-and-death situation.
"Rebel!" Wu Yazi waved several moves of the "Six Yang Palms of Tianshan Mountain", blocking the poisonous gas attack with the pure Yang internal energy transformed into it. He swayed and rushed towards Li Qingluo.
The poisonous corpse that was shaken away by Liuyang Palm flew out and rolled to the ground. Six or seven villa servants couldn't avoid it and inhaled the poisonous gas emitted from the corpse. Their faces were immediately covered with black gas and they rolled to the ground. After a few convulsions, he died.
With no time to care about these enemies, Wu Yazi immediately judged Ding Chunqiu's current situation and knew that the other party suspected that she had been betrayed by Li Qingluo and would kill her at any time.
Although he was extremely disappointed and disgusted with this daughter who betrayed him, Wu Yazi's plan was just to abolish her martial arts skills and let her move to an ordinary village so that she would no longer be able to do evil.
I just hope that one day she will wake up and abandon evil and promote good instead of letting her die in Ding Chunqiu's hands.
Upon discovering that Wu Yazi was trying to rescue Li Qingluo, Ding Chunqiu relied on his rich experience in the world to react instantly and come up with a corresponding strategy.
He suddenly bit the tip of his tongue and used the Xingxiu sect's secret method of short-term amplification of poisonous power. In a daze, he swung out the "soft silk rope" one of the "Three Treasures of Xingxiu" and wrapped it around Li Qingluo's body. , to involve her as a key hostage.
Li Qingluo's own martial arts was already second-rate, but when she saw the situation suddenly changed drastically, and Ding Chunqiu turned to attack her side, her mind couldn't help but be shaken. Naturally, she couldn't notice the thin and invisible soft silk rope moving in the darkness. Attack, in one move, he was restrained.
At the same time as he succeeded, Ding Chunqiu's face changed slightly when faced with Wu Yazi's "Yangge Tianjun" shot from the air, and he immediately wanted to use the "Transformation" skill to switch places with Li Qingluo, letting her Come and block this move.
The next moment, there was a "pop" sound, and his right palm was already touching Wu Yazi's left palm. He used the "Transformation Technique" to fully resist the Beiming Zhenqi that surged like rivers, lakes and seas.
Five or six feet away, Li Qingluo suddenly fell from the air. With a look of shock on her face, she immediately got up from the ground and ran towards the back of the villa.
It turned out that Wu Yazi had guessed what Ding Chunqiu was doing, and immediately used a white rainbow palm force to bypass Li Qingluo who was moved in front, and hit the soft silk rope, breaking it into two pieces, forcing it to fall. Ding Chunqiu had no choice but to give in, so he had no choice but to fight.
Since Ding Chunqiu had been injured beforehand and his skills were damaged, under the power of Beiming's true energy, his "Gong Transformation Technique" was completely unable to invade Wu Yazi's palm. Instead, he was slowly forced back into his own body, and appeared A situation of backlash.
The surface of his arms, and even the skin of his whole body, was quickly covered with messy green and purple. It had absorbed various toxins contained in it for decades, and slowly moved towards his heart and body in an unstoppable manner. The brain rushes away.
On the side, Su Xinghe quickly clicked on the acupuncture points of more than a dozen maids who were desperately trying to cut off Li Qingluo's back. Seeing that he could not catch up with her, he stopped.
Worried that Ding Chunqiu had other sinister means, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air. A long sword on the ground jumped into his hand and stabbed directly towards Ding Chunqiu's back.
Due to the state of internal strength competition, he was restricted in place and unable to move. This old monster from Xingxiu, who had been rampant in the world for decades, could not use any of his thousands of poison techniques and poisonous schemes.
With a scream, Ding Chunqiu's back of the heart was penetrated by a long sword on the spot.
I saw a bloody hole in his back, and dark poisonous blood flowed out from the wound. His face, hands and feet were quickly and abnormally eroded. In a moment, even his clothes were completely torn, leaving only a pile of Bones.
Wu Yazi took Su Xinghe's hand and jumped back several feet to avoid being stained by the poisonous blood.
He stared at Ding Chunqiu's bones on the ground in trance, as if recalling the past thirty years ago, with a complicated look on his face.
After a long while, he asked: "Xinghe, do you know where Miss Zhao has gone? I must thank her for her help in cleaning up the house this time."
"When junior sister ran away just now, Miss Zhao sent a message to me, saying that she would follow her." Su Xinghe also looked at Ding Chunqiu's body and replied in high spirits, his tone full of the feeling of revenge after a great revenge. of excitement.
Due to the erosion of the poisonous blood on the ground, part of the thin iron rod Wu Yazi used to make the "prosthetic limb" became dark in color and softened due to contact with the ground. He had to abandon it and Su Xinghe carried himself on his back. He chased in the direction of Houzhuang where Li Qingluo fled.
…
In an attic filled with wood in Mantuo Villa, Li Qingluo's face was full of fear and panic. She felt regretful and puzzled. She couldn't figure out why she ended up in such a situation.
Half of the twenty or thirty maidservants who were most loyal to him had died at the hands of Ding Chunqiu, and the rest were probably in danger.
It would take at least seven or eight years to train such subordinates again, and the plan for Duan Zhengchun would undoubtedly have to be postponed for many years.
No, it seems that the dangers I am facing now are not limited to these.
Whether it was Wu Yazi who was betrayed by him or Ding Chunqiu who openly killed his subordinates, whichever side wins will probably not let him go since they have already turned against each other.
So, is there any way to get yourself out of this terrible predicament? Why, no matter how much I think about it, I can’t think of it?
Li Qingluo kept thinking in her heart, her face became paler and her body began to tremble.
Suddenly, as if she had figured out something key, a ferocious look appeared on her face.
I saw that she took out the fire knife Huozhe from her arms and ignited the surrounding wood one by one, causing it to exude a very fragrant floral scent, which was like osmanthus but not osmanthus, like a rose but not a rose, and as it burned, it gave birth to Thick smoke spread toward the outside of the attic.
"You have no idea, you just want to sting people with intoxicating bees?" At this moment, Zhao Qing's figure suddenly appeared in front of her and said coldly.
