Ximen Qing, Gui Haiming, and Ning Zhenan returned to the team. Qi Zuo approached and said: "Second envoy, we have a large number of people. It only takes a moment to capture them all. There is no need to talk to them. Fight, compete with each other to decide the outcome."
Lu Lianhai echoed: "Yes, Second Envoy. The strong one is about crushing, the weak one is about outmaneuvering, and an all-out victory is better than a duel to decide the outcome."
The two of them talked about things based on their situation, which seemed reasonable.
But things in the world are like clouds in the sky, moving with the wind and unpredictable. It was one situation before you did it, and it was another situation when you did it, or after you did it, so-called this time and that time.
Ximen Qing looked at Ning Zhenan and asked softly: "Ning Zhenan, what do you think?"
Ning Zhenan replied: "Judging from the number of people, we have a large number of people and have the potential to crush us. But..."
Gui Hai said clearly: "But what?"
Ning Zhenan whispered: "But in the face of a life and death battle, I still want to believe that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes."
Ximen Qingdao: "Why?"
Ning Zhenan said: "As the saying goes, those who are aggressive are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives. If you have nothing, you will have nothing to worry about."
Qi Zuo said: "Anyone who is aggressive, stupid, or desperate, everyone is here to risk their lives, there is no distinction between them."
Ning Zhenan smiled softly and said: "Master Qi, we are here for the escort money. What matters is profitability. It is definitely not a wise move to lose one's life for profit. If the Longwei Escort Agency loses the official silver, it will have nothing, even Even their lives are hard to save. If we force ourselves to attack, they will fight to the death to protect their escort."
Qi Zuo said: "Even if the escorts of the Longwei Escort Bureau fight tooth and nail to resist, there are only a dozen or so of them. The others are more or less here for the sake of profit, and they are definitely not people who don't want their lives. What's the point."
Ning Zhenan replied with a smile: "Master Qi, Master Mingzhi, the Wuliu brothers, Gu Huai, Zhang Tianhao, the three heroes of the Jiang family, etc., have long been famous and are used to living in poverty. The word 'profitable' is used I'm afraid they might have the suspicion of being too proud."
Ximen Qing interjected: "If it's not for fame and fortune, then why are they here?"
Ning Zhenan replied with a smile: "Jiang Daogong has been in the world for decades. It does not rely on how high his martial arts is or how wide his reputation is. It all depends on his righteousness throughout. To say why they really come, it is just because I am good at raising myself. The Qi of awe-inspiringness. Its Qi is extremely large and strong. If it is nourished directly and does no harm, it will be blocked between heaven and earth."
Lu Lianhai said: "Even so, we are bound to win this escort, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
Ning Zhenan chuckled and said: "There is nothing to be afraid of. He has seven qi, and I have one. If one fights against seven, why should I worry!"
Ximen Qing said: "Stop fighting, let's decide the outcome by fighting."
Qi Zuo said: "That boy Bai Yutian's martial arts has been passed down by Jiang Chengcheng, and he is no longer inferior to Master Mingzhi. If the second envoy cannot defeat Master Mingzhi, winning two out of three games will be detrimental to us. Otherwise, we will start again." Formulate the rules and change the 'best of two' from 'best of five' to 'best of five', staggering the head-to-head confrontations with Bai Yutian and Master Mingzhi."
"Why bother!"
A voice led a man out of the forest in the northwest.
As soon as Ximen Qing, Gui Haiming, Ning Zhenan and others turned around, the man had already approached them in two long steps, so they had to greet him with arms raised as a sign of friendship.
The man is in his fifties, with gray hair. He has a body of more than seven feet. His eyebrows are slightly curved, his big eyes turn once or twice. Under his tall eagle nose, his sharp mouth opens, and a series of sounds are arranged in two rows. Jun said from between his teeth: "Ximen Qing, Gui Haiming, you are too worried! Isn't it just a wise master? There is no need to make a fuss."
Ximen Qing smiled lightly and said, "Eagle King, I am here at this time. Do you have any advice?"
Eagle King chuckled and said: "What kind of advice can you have? When the road is rough, I just want to draw my sword to help."
Gui Hai said clearly: "I wonder if the Eagle King, who drew his sword to help, wants to help for fame, or does he want to help for profit?"
The Eagle King smiled and said: "Fame has nothing but fooling the world. The truth is that the benefits come from it. Not only can you be popular, but you can also make money work."
Qi Zuo said happily: "Best regards, Eagle King!"
Ying Dynasty glanced at the other side and said: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's end this matter quickly and go out into the mountains to drink and eat meat."
Ximen smiled refreshingly, walked a few steps, and shouted to Master Mingzhi: "Li Yiru, have you guys agreed? If so, send someone out to die."
Taoist Huang Ting couldn't see Ximen Qing's arrogance, so he wanted to step forward to help him soften his bones. He said to Master Mingzhi: "Mr. Li, this junior will take care of this battle."
Bai Yutian said: "Master Huang, the first battle should be fought by Senior Li."
Master Mingzhi took the sword from Liu Qing's hand, walked to Ximen Qing, and said: "Ximen Qing, you can use your abilities as much as you want without holding back. The reason why your senior brother entrusted the Yin Yang Liuhe Palm to me for safekeeping is It’s not Jiang Qingcheng. Firstly, she believes that I will not covet other martial arts sects. Secondly, Jiang Qingcheng has pure yang true energy to protect the body and is qualified to practice. Whether today’s boxing manual can return to the hands of the Emei sect is not up to me. , it’s up to you two’s current cultivation level. If you are qualified to practice, take it away. If you are not qualified to practice, keep it in my custody.”
Ximen Qingna didn't want to return to the boxing book. Before Master Mingzhi could finish his words, he showed his palms and said: "If you want to return to the boxing book, let's use your fists and feet to speak."
"Okay, it's up to you." Master Mingzhi threw back the sword in his hand and showed his palms.
No matter how arrogant Ximen Qing was in front of Master Mingzhi, he was still a junior, so he should strike first to gain the upper hand. After saying the word "please", Ximen Qing took half a step forward with his right foot and used his right palm to "open the door and bow down to the thief", going straight to Master Mingzhi's heart. Although the palm wind is strong, the door is wide open, as if waiting for others to attack.
Master Mingzhi rarely used force with others, and he did not know what sneak attacks and plots were. Although Ximen Qing's method of luring the enemy in was cleverly designed, to Master Mingzhi, it was just a fake. Master Mingzhi jumped back slightly, threw a palm in the air towards Ximen Qing's face, and returned the favor.
Ximen Qing failed to lure the enemy and turned to a violent attack. I saw him leaping up, using the "two-legged chain" move, kicking Master Achieveness in the chest with his right foot. Just as Master Achieve blocked it, he already kicked Master Achievement in the abdomen with his left foot. Fortunately, Master Mingzhi had taken precautions. When he used the force of his palm to knock off Ximen Qing's right foot, he drew his abdomen back in time, allowing Ximen Qing's left leg to be thrown away.
Ximen Qing was shaken away by Master Mingzhi's palm and fell back to where he was, with confusion in his eyes. He didn't know that although Master Mingzhi had never practiced Emei martial arts, he had seen Xiu Xinwu fight with others. This 'leg chain' was no secret in front of Master Mingzhi. As long as he didn't underestimate the enemy, it could be resolved easily.
After two moves, Ximen Qing failed to achieve what he wanted, whether it was to lure the enemy by exposing his flaws or to attack continuously, so he was at a disadvantage. So he changed his tactics, stood as still as a pine tree, channeled all his true energy into his palms, and waited for Master Mingzhi to attack, so that he could use defense as an offense, use softness to overcome hardness, and strike later.
Master Mingzhi saw Ximen Qing's thoughts, gathered 70% of his cultivation power in his palm, slapped it out with a bang, followed the palm with his body, like an arrow off the string, shot into Ximen Qing's chest, as fast as lightning, and heartily. Like flow.
Ximen Qing caught it with the palm of his left hand. He turned to one side and took half a step forward. In the midst of the flash of lightning, he slapped Master Mingzhi's armpit with the palm of his right hand from bottom to top.
What Ximen Qing did not expect was that Master Mingzhi would also deceive, using Ximen Qing's technique of "opening the door and bowing to the thief", waiting for him to attack. Just when Ximen Qing was distracted to attack, Master Mingzhi rolled his body in the air and sent a volley of palm force towards Ximen Qing's chest. While knocking Ximen Qing's body away, he floated back with the rebound of his palm force. Come out and stand one foot away.
Ximen Qing was hit by Master Mingzhi's volley palm, and his body floated back one foot. Although he stood firm when he landed, his chest felt tight and uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but cough up several streaks of blood, which hung in the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were dead. He stared at Master Akechi, as if he was not convinced that he had lost and had to start over.
When Master Mingzhi saw Ximen Qing's unstable breath and difficulty in breathing, he felt pity. He took out two booklets from his arms and threw them towards Ximen Qing. He said: "Ximen Qing, your defeat today is just Because I have seen your senior brother fight with others, but you have never seen me fight with others. I know myself and the enemy, but you know yourself and the enemy, so you will not lose unjustly."
Ximen Qing took the two booklets and saw that they were "Yin Yang Liuhe Zhang" and "Su Xin Sword Technique". He felt inexplicably happy and forgot about the pain in his chest. He politely said to Master Mingzhi: "Thank you, senior, for showing mercy, junior." I’m so grateful.”
Master Mingzhi said warmly: "Just take care of yourself. Don't let down your senior brother's hard work and let Emei's martial arts lose its majesty and incense." He turned and walked away.
Ximen Qing bowed to Master Mingzhi's back, put the two booklets in his arms, turned around and walked towards his junior brother Gui Haiming.
Gui Haiming saw Ximen Qing coming back with bloodshot eyes hanging from the corners of his mouth. He must have suffered internal injuries. He asked with concern: "Senior brother, are you not seriously injured?"
Ximen Qing smiled lightly, adjusted his breath, and said: "Senior Li, please be merciful, the injury is not serious, and he will be healed in a few days."
Eagle King said: "Logically it shouldn't be! Your Ximen Qing's martial arts cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in the past ten years. Even if the old man Jiang Chengcheng takes action, he wants to defeat you within ten or twenty moves, unless he plots a sneak attack. , let alone his wise master Li Yiru.”
Gui Hai said clearly: "Logically it shouldn't be! Senior brother, could it be that old man Li Yiru has deceived me!"
Ximen Qing replied: "Junior brother, Senior Li Yiru won the game openly and without any deceit. The reason why I was defeated by him in a few moves is because he is a good friend of our senior brother and is very familiar with our Emei sect's martial arts. He is not a senior brother." It is also impossible to leave the Yin Yang Liuhe Palm to him for safekeeping."
Gui Hai said clearly: "Since senior brother said so, junior brother certainly believes that he is not cheating."
Ximen Qing said: "Eagle King, I have already lost a round. If I want to win today, I have to rely on you to defeat that boy Bai Yutian."
The Eagle King sneered and said, "It's a trivial matter to knock a young boy down with just one slap."
Ning Zhenan agreed happily: "That's right. If an eagle catches a chicken, it will be easy to catch it without any effort."
The Eagle King chuckled and looked to the opposite side, hoping that the next guy to appear would be Bai Yutian, so that he could chop him with one palm and gain both fame and fortune, as well as endless good wine and meat.
