Chapter 1072: Kill one person in ten steps, leave no trace behind in a thousand miles
Meng Qi smiled and said:
"Okay, is there any good food in the city that I can buy and drink with you?"
"There is a Wufenglou nearby. The pork head meat and soy sauce beef are very good."
Qi Zhengyan thought for a while and said.
Meng Qi walked out of the backyard, stepped onto the street under the eyes of the shopkeeper and waiters, stopped a passerby and asked:
"Brother, I wonder how to get to the Ye family?"
The Ye family is one of the top local aristocratic families, and everyone knows where the mansion is. Meng Qi found the door with almost no effort.
It is backed by a river that crosses the city, with continuous houses, shady trees, and quiet birdsong. Compared with the noisy streets of the morning market, it almost looks like a suburb. It is really a good place to find peace in the bustle.
There were nearly ten servants guarding the door of Ye Mansion. They were either big-bodied or round-waisted, or their vitality was exposed. The two leading them were both experts in the four apertures, showing the rich heritage of the family.
Meng Qi walked around the wall and found that the Ye family's defense on the outside was not as good as that of the palace and prince's palace that had just experienced the mission. After all, the family head and important figures were all masters of the Eight or Nine Apertures, and could handle most of the raids on their own, so they only needed to
Arrange bodyguards nearby, set up tight defenses in important courtyards, follow the masters around the princes, and conduct daily patrols in the mansion. There is no need to have enlightened people guarding the outer walls every few steps.
——The number of their enlightenment masters cannot reach such a luxurious level. The imperial palace and the Prince's Mansion have concentrated most of the world's manpower and material resources.
Walking around to a hidden place covered by green trees, Meng Qi listened carefully, then raised his left hand, crossed the wall, and landed behind a rockery.
Not long after, servants patrolled by in groups. Since it was not long before dawn, they were loose and scattered. Meng Qi didn't even use the "Seal of Immortality" and watched them go away.
The "Phantom Demon Body Technique" unfolded, and Meng Qi turned into afterimages and ran towards the nearby yard.
In the yard, a servant was doing morning exercises, his skin was like bronze, and sweat was flowing. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he felt a figure in a green shirt appeared in front of him, like a ghost in the day. Before he could see his face clearly, he shouted
As he screamed for help, he was hit by Rongxue's acupuncture pointer and fell to the ground on his back.
Meng Qi's spirit was released, and he performed hand and body seals at the same time, making eye contact with the servant.
The servant only saw a pair of dark and deep eyes. The first awakening was like a lake, calm and waveless. Upon closer inspection, it was full of whirlpools, sucking people's body and mind in. The person in front of him was getting taller and bigger, terrifying and majestic, as if
Gods and demons.
Meng Qi used his mute point to ask calmly:
"Which courtyard is 'Ghost Shadow Sword' Li Sui in? How to get there?"
The servant could not circulate his inner energy to resist, and said in a daze: "In Lanxiang Courtyard, there are guests all around... After crossing the bridge on the opposite side, turn right and enter the third courtyard..."
He explained in great detail, including that Li Sui was a master of seven orifices, and the nearby guest officials were basically six or more orifices. Once discovered, they would be besieged.
Meng Qi did not have the intention to kill innocent people indiscriminately. After asking for the route, he directly tapped the servant's sleeping point and threw him back to his room. With his green shirt fluttering, he walked towards Lanxiang Courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Along the way, after practicing the Eight-nine Mysterious Skills and the Immortal Seal, Meng Qi's senses became sharper and his spirit became stronger. He could always detect the patrol team first and avoid them in advance. Although he was running quickly, he still had time at home.
The feeling of walking in the court, coupled with the uniqueness of the phantom body movement, if anyone sees it, they will only think that they were dazzled just now and actually saw a phantom.
It didn't take long for Meng Qi to see the plaque of "Lanxiang Courtyard". Just as he was about to step in, a nearby courtyard opened with a creak, and a white-haired old man stepped out.
At least a master of Qiqiao can restrain his breath and hide his voice anytime and anywhere... Meng Qi took a step forward, his figure was like a demon, shrinking to an inch, and pointed his long sword at the white-haired old man with its sheath.
The white-haired old man did not expect to be attacked at all. He only saw a green shadow before he appeared in front of him. The light golden scabbard reflected the golden light under the shadow of the early morning sun. The changes in light and shadow were eye-catching. The cooperation
The long sword changes continuously, always phantoms, phantoms everywhere, making it difficult for people to understand and understand, and they don't know how to deal with it, because if they can't grasp every phantom and every change, they will be defeated.
How could he think of calling for help? He was focused on dealing with the sword. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He stepped back repeatedly until he was leaning on the door panel. Then he clapped his palms out, which changed with the changes of the sword.
difficult.
Suddenly, the shadow of the sword was withdrawn, and the long sword returned to its original state, without any change or fancy, and stabbed straight into the palm of the white-haired old man.
The old man couldn't stop his momentum in time, so he had to use his palm force to hit the tip of the sword.
His face changed, and he felt that the tip of the sword was empty and weak. After the palm power surged out, it was like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, without a trace.
Unable to bear the force, he staggered forward. The tip of the sword suddenly surged with great force, and the waves crashed against the shore. His inner strength felt extremely familiar!
At this moment, when the strength of his palm was unleashed, before the new strength was released, the true energy from the sword tip poured into his body, quickly sealing all the major points, and he fell down with a thud.
Meng Qi didn't try to hide it, he seized the moment, turned around and jumped into the Lanxiang Courtyard, heading straight to the left wing. The only sound in the entire courtyard was the lingering sound of breathing, which he thought he was a master.
The maid was walking in the courtyard carrying a copper basin when she suddenly noticed a green shadow flashing past. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
Even during the day, she felt a chill and her scalp was numb. Wasn't it haunted?
——If he hadn't done it in the courtyard, which would alert Li Sui and give him a chance to escape, Meng Qi would definitely tap her acupuncture points.
Bang!
The door was kicked open, and she looked intently and saw a green shadow flashing into Master Li Sui's room.
Li Sui was sitting cross-legged in meditation, carrying Zhou Tian, with a very narrow and thin long sword across his knees. When he heard the sound of the door being knocked open, he grabbed the hilt of the sword and was about to jump up.
At this moment, a long sword exuding cold air pierced five inches above his head. It seemed that it had somehow missed the target and hit the empty space, but Li Sui was shocked in his heart, because after he jumped up, he would
"Bumping" the tip of the sword with your eyebrows is tantamount to committing suicide.
He quickly used a thousand-jin drop to suppress his leaping force, and swung his sword horizontally, intending to force the enemy back.
The light of the sword is vertical and horizontal, faint and vague, but the real sword is hidden in the dark, no longer called a ghost.
The tip of Meng Qi's sword suddenly folded downwards, "driving" his whole body to fly into the air with his head down and his feet up. He avoided the horizontal slash and stabbed Li Sui Baihui directly.
The posture is weird, like a demon.
Oops, he fell into the trap! Li Suigang used the Thousand Jin Pendant to hold himself down. Facing the sword above his head, he could no longer change, so he had to grit his teeth and use his strength, lean forward with the help of the sword, and throw himself forward.
At this moment, Meng Qi's long sword was released from his hand, speeding up, and penetrated the back of Li Sui's head with a pop, pinning him to the ground.
The figure turned back and floated to the ground. Meng Qi drew up his long sword, raised it on his toes, grabbed Li Sui's sword in his hand, and ran out the door.
The exchange between the two lasted only a breath, and the maid could not react in time. She watched Master Li Sui die before she woke up as if from a dream:
"There's an assassin!"
The sharp sound alarmed the guests in the nearby courtyard, who either left the house or retreated to practice, listening to identify the direction of the sound.
Meng Qi passed by the maid and ran out of the courtyard without looking back. His green shirt fluttered and his magic body skills were fully activated. Like a ghost, he passed by the patrolling servants and returned to the rockery where he came in.
It was not until this time that the guests arrived at Lanxiang Courtyard where Li Sui lived. They only saw a panicked maid, and Li Sui fell in the room, with blood mixed with white blood slowly spreading out.
Other than that, nothing in the house was damaged.
"Where is the assassin?" Someone checked the body and someone asked urgently.
The maid was so frightened that she said tremblingly: "Kill Mr. Li and leave."
"When were you killed?"
A guest asked.
"I saw him shouting when he kicked open the door and killed Mr. Li..." The maid's answer was a little unclear.
The guests were horrified. They heard the maid's call and rushed over. In just a few breaths, the assassin killed the "Ghost Shadow Sword" Li Sui? He was just beginning to become a master of the inner world and had excellent swordsmanship.
The master of seven orifices!
"Chase!"
"Go and report to the head of the family!"
The guests were divided into two groups, and the man who was chasing Meng Qi found out after leaving the courtyard that he had no idea which direction to pursue!
They quickly asked the nearby servants, but no one in blue was seen.
Meng Qi jumped out of the outer wall, dodged into a nearby street, put Li Sui's sword into the package where Xie Jie was, inserted the ice bridge, and Shi Shiran walked to Wufeng Tower. There were more and more pedestrians on the street, and the morning market was bustling.
After he took a few steps, there were shouts of surprise, shouts and questions, and the sounds of running outside the Ye Mansion, making it appear that the army was in chaos.
Hehe, Meng Qi smiled, walked slowly and slowly, and turned into the street leading to Wufeng Tower.
Knowing that the strength of the current warriors in Yicheng is no more than Jiu Qiao, even using the clan's treasured weapons is only half a step outside. Meng Qi, who has enough cards, is very confident, and also has the idea of showing his sage in front of others, killing one person in ten steps, leaving no one behind.
Okay, isn't this the image in his dream of walking around the world with a sword?
What a "Crazy Thunder Sword Monk" and what a "Vajra King"! They are all slander!
By the time the Ye family assigned good men and chased him out of the mansion, Meng Qi's back had long since disappeared. There were many men in green shirts and swords on the street.
Carrying the sauced beef and pig head meat, Meng Qi quickly returned to the nearby Huanhua Rice Shop. However, the Ye family had not yet searched here and were still investigating the Qingshan Saberman near Ye Mansion.
"Here, here's a pack for you." Meng Qi greeted with a smile and threw a specially separated pack of meat to the shopkeeper and waiter.
The shopkeeper and the waiter quickly thanked him, feeling that Boss Qi's cousin was much more generous than his cousin.
After entering the courtyard and opening the door, Meng Qi saw Qi Zhengyan wiping the dust on the wine jar, which was obviously from years of aging.
He opened the red paper seal, and a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus and wine overflowed, making Meng Qi couldn't help but take a few more breaths.
"Come back so soon?" Qi Zhengyan asked casually. He felt that Meng Qi was unfamiliar with the place and it would take some time to find the way.
Meng Qi smiled and put down the pork head and beef with soy sauce, sat down swaggeringly, poured himself a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed wine, drank it in one gulp, and then put a piece of pork head and soy beef into his mouth to chew, one was fat but not greasy, and the other was chewy.
It's full of flavor and really delicious.
"Good wine! Good meat!"
He praised, unwrapped the package, took out Li Suizhi's sword, put it on the table, and looked at Qi Zhengyan with a smile:
"I stopped by to pick up a sword."
Qi Zhengyan took a closer look at the sword on the table and his eyes narrowed slightly. Although he already knew through the Demon Lord's inheritance that Meng Qi was the fish of Demon Buddha Ananda, he did not expect that Meng Qi's current strength has improved so rapidly.
Talents favored by Shang Yi!
Then he pretended to lose control of his expression and was extremely wonderful. He was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Ghost Shadow Sword?"
"Yes." Meng Qi drank and ate meat with an indifferent expression.
Qi Zhengyan was silent again and did not ask about Li Sui's fate. He was famous for his ghost sword. The sword never left his body. If the sword was here, he would be either crippled or dead. There is no significant difference between the two.
The reason why Qi Zhengyan did this was to confuse and pay attention to Meng Qi's "God's will".
Qi Zhengyan is planning to help Shang Yi's Moro Tawo establish Pawnshop No. 8 in the real world. Naturally, he already has some authority of the pawnshop and can use part of the power of Pawnshop No. 8 and even the soul Black Lotus.
Otherwise, Qi Zhengyan would not have had the foresight to prepare the power to treat his cousin in advance!
Although he was determined to prevent his cousin from suffering this disaster, Qi Zhengyan knew very well that as for the script of "God's Will", small trends can be changed and the big trend cannot be violated, and now Meng Qi's growth is the big trend!
Relatively speaking, although Qi Zhengyan knew a lot with the help of the demon lord's inheritance, and even had the power of the soul black lotus to help cover it up, it was precisely because of knowing these truths that he felt powerless and desperate, just as the great master of the creation realm regarded this as a sea of suffering.
Meng Qi, on the other hand, is fearless when he is ignorant, and now he can have the mentality of showing himself as a saint in front of others and living freely in the world.
Of course, it is precisely this fearless mentality that creates such a Meng Qi!
This is also the reason why Shang Yi did not choose to tell Meng Qi everything. The mentality of martial arts practice is very important.
Why are there so many powerful sects from powerful aristocratic families and sects with many geniuses and abundant resources in martial arts, but it is difficult for them to produce truly strong people?
It is because he is bound by his inherent powerful concepts that he no longer has a world that truly belongs to him, just like the emperor's son who is imprisoned by the emperor's principles in the world that covers the sky.
"I just found this jar of wine from the cellar..."
Qi Zhengyan said in a low voice very cooperatively.
"hey-hey."
Meng Qi laughed. What he wanted was Qi Zhengyan's reaction. The wine hadn't been opened, the person had been killed, and the blood hadn't even run cold. This was how a swordsman behaved.
He enjoys these feelings, but he does not pay a big price for them. He usually does it according to the trend and cannot forget about it. He is always relatively rational and clear-headed in his heart, and he will never exchange for some flashy things just to show off.
Or something that will come naturally sooner or later.
If Shang Yi were here, he would probably secretly criticize him for his "two-phase nature of recklessness and cowardice".
Qi Zhengyan handed the Ghost Shadow Sword back to Meng Qi, which was his trophy:
"Thank you!"
At this time, Qi Zhengyan's mentality had already changed from the cautious attitude in the past. He didn't care about the possibility of the Ye family getting into trouble. At the same time, he had also seen the future with the help of Pawn Shop No. 8, and he agreed with Meng Qi's statement:
"The Huanhua Sword Sect is not a pure place of Buddhism like Shaolin. It must focus on teachings and classics and will definitely safeguard its own secular interests first.
You are a symbol of the Huanhua Sword Sect in Yicheng. Although you have no right or power to ask the Ye family to make friends, you can only watch them protect the murderer. After all, your cousin is not a disciple of the Huanhua Sword Sect. But if it were the other way around,
How could they ever dare to come to your door and force you to surrender? This is tantamount to declaring war on the Huanhua Sword Sect. Even the Zhoujun Wang family does not dare to take the risk of such a full-scale conflict! And they will not want to provoke the Six Gates and make things worse.
Make a big fuss.
As for the assassination, I'm afraid they don't dare to do it now. It's not a calm situation at this time. It's not like you can secretly find a left-handed master, kill Yuandun, and let the Huanhua Sword Sect hunt you down, so that you can hide it from the outside. If something happens to you now, the sect will definitely
Someone will be sent here, and once they understand it, they will point directly at the Ye family.
No matter what your uncle's intentions are or what benefits he has received, if the leader of one party is killed, he will never be able to hide it anymore, and paper can't keep him from getting angry."
Seeing that Qi Zhengyan's expression was calm and not worried about killing Li Sui, he raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself:
"It seems that Senior Brother Qi has changed a lot!"
Qi Zhengyan praised:
"Thanks to my cousin for taking action. If you hadn't treated the other person with your own medicine, I would have had to wait for a while before I could avenge my cousin!"
Meng Qi drank another bowl of wine:
"No, no! Cousin, don't worry. Let's take a step back. If the Huanhua Sword Sect doesn't even support similar things, then why do you bother to stay in such a sect? Follow me around the world as soon as possible, and you will be happy with your grudges.
.”
"I do believe that our sect will protect its disciples."
Qi Zhengyan's expression was slightly relaxed. To be honest, he was not strong before and was afraid that the sect would send helpers and discover his secrets instead. But now that he has his "cousin" Xiao Meng, he can handle matters that need to be done openly.
Come forward and your risk of exposure will be greatly reduced.
Although it is said that his "Demon Prison Mysterious Embryo Sutra" can perform any martial arts, just like the small Wuxiang Kung Fu, but who knows if the elders of the sect who came have special methods, what if they are also people in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Space?
