Hongfeng Villa collapsed and Qianliu Villa took advantage of the situation. This is understandable.
No one will give up their place for the dead, only the dead will give up their place for the living.
However, if he wanted to rise, he planned his business well. Before he knew whether there were any descendants of Red Maple Villa alive, he took over the manor and moved everything inside.
This behavior...is no different from that of a robber.
Coupled with the actions of Qi Kai and Luo Zhenxie before today's Hongfeng Villa, they have already formed a deadly feud with each other.
This point is the same whether it is for Jiang Ran or Ye Jingshuang.
Now that the four major sword sects have gathered at Hongfeng Villa, Qianliu Villa will definitely not dare to invade.
Maybe after learning that Qi Kai is dead, the Master of Qi Village will directly hide in order to avoid the disaster of death.
Rather than letting such a poisonous snake roam around, it may rush out and bite you at any time.
It would be better to just beat the snake to death and have peace of mind.
And this is the best time.
So Jiang Ran had no intention of resting here. He had a good sleep last night, and today he just stretched his muscles before Hongfeng Villa.
There is nothing to rest for.
As for Shi Miao, he was even more happy. After listening to Jiang Ran's words, he stood up directly.
After taking the long sword in his hand, he walked out.
However, he suddenly stopped halfway and looked back at Jiang Ran.
The cold light in his eyes flashed, and there was still a hint of murderous intent, and he asked coldly:
"Where is Qianliu Villa?"
"..."
I don’t know where you are running so fast?
Jiang Ran sighed and glanced at Ye Jingshuang.
Ye Jingshuang nodded: "I'll lead the way!"
As he spoke, he had already walked out of the door.
Su Wanyi said quickly:
"Don't be impatient, I will bring in my disciples to help you."
Jiang Ran smiled:
"Senior Su, you'd better have a good rest. We'll be back as soon as we go."
Su Wanyi thought for a moment and finally nodded.
Jiang Ran's martial arts skills were unparalleled for a long time, but today he saw it with his own eyes, protecting his body, and using his fingertips to directly defeat Shi Pingzhang's cunning methods.
Secondly, although the disciple has woken up now, his body feels like a thief has been wiped out, and he still needs time to recover.
Just thinking about it this way, I felt that Shi Miao's situation was a bit strange.
She was obviously in a coma longer than the others, but when she woke up, she was full of energy and seemed not to be affected at all.
Thinking of Shi Miao's unique skills, Su Wanyi frowned and felt that she had to report this matter to her master.
…
…
Not many people go to Qianliu Villa.
Jiang Ran, Ye Jingshuang, Shi Miao, Luo Qingyi.
Four people in total.
Luo Qingyi caught Jiang Ran and the three of them when they were about to go out.
After asking, they found out that Jiang Ran and the others were going to Qianliu Villa to cause trouble, so they naturally wanted to go with him.
At that time, Li Tianxin and Zhang Zhihua were also nearby.
I just don’t know why, but Li Tianxin, who always likes to join in the fun with Jiang Ran, didn’t come this time.
If he doesn't come, Zhang Zhihua's little tail will naturally not come either.
The group of four people just walked out the door.
Qianliu Villa is less than fifty miles away from Hongfeng Villa.
Along the way, Jiang Ran learned about the situation of Qianliu Villa from Ye Jingshuang.
The owner of Qianliu Villa is named Qi Cheng.
This person is not bad at all, his martial arts skills and mental abilities have merit.
Before the age of thirty, he had mastered the family secret skill [Qianliu Wanfeng Finger] to great perfection.
He has quite a reputation in the world of martial arts.
In addition, he is generous and heroic, and has a reputation for chivalry, so some good people call it the second Red Maple Villa.
Qi Cheng used to be proud of this, but now it seems that most of it is derived from deduction.
Jiang Ran felt that this was unusual.
After all, who wants to live in someone else’s shadow?
As far as heirs are concerned, Qi Cheng only has one son, Qi Kai.
Since Qi Kai's mother gave birth to him and passed away a few years ago, Qi Cheng never had a second marriage.
This is also something that many people admire.
In addition to Qi Cheng, there are four other masters in the village.
These four people either met each other in the Jianghu and were introduced to the village.
Or they come here because of their reputation and look for a job.
All martial arts have their own unique features.
It is worth mentioning that Qi Cheng also has a younger brother.
However, this younger brother was born to his second wife. He was not favored by the old owner of Qianliu Villa in the past, and now naturally he is not taken seriously by Qi Cheng either.
Ye Jingshuang only heard of this person's name and had never seen his true face.
All I know is that this man has little martial arts skills and likes to eat, drink and have fun. Sometimes he is dragged back home by Qi Cheng from the place of Fireworks and Willows to dwell on his past mistakes.
This also further highlights Qi Cheng’s character.
As they walked, everyone said that the distance was less than fifty miles. They used their Qinggong with all their strength and it didn't take them long to reach it.
Hongfeng Villa is on Hongfeng Mountain, while Qianliu Villa is at the foot of another mountain on Hongfeng Mountain.
Jiang Ran and his party came over the mountain and looked down. They saw a village located on the bank of a large river. There was water in front of the door and mountains behind it. Although it was not too big, it had a leisurely feel.
Everyone jumped down, and within a few ups and downs, they had arrived in front of the Qianliu Villa.
Just as he stood still, a disciple from Qianliu Villa shouted:
"Who are you? Why do you want to come to Qianliu Villa?"
Jiang Ran raised his eyes to admire the surrounding scenery, and when he heard this, he turned around and smiled:
"We have heard that Qi Cheng, the owner of Qianliu Villa, is chivalrous and heroic.
"A few of us are passing by here, we have exhausted all our money, and we plan to ask Master Qi for some money."
The one who beats the autumn wind?
Several gatekeeper disciples looked at each other, but they didn't feel like it.
Jiang Ran seemed polite, but there was a hint of nonchalance in his tone.
It seemed that they didn't take their Qianliu Villa seriously at all.
But even so, they didn't immediately turn their eyebrows at each other. One of them smiled and said:
"I see, our village owner has always admired all the heroes in the world.
"But I don't know, what do you call them? How much money do you want?"
Jiang Ran smiled:
"When we meet in the world, why should we know the truth?
"As for the silver... well, it's not much, just like Zhuang Qi's one million taels."
While he was speaking, he looked at Ye Jingshuang:
"What do you think?"
After all, all the things that were taken away belonged to the Ye family. Jiang Ran could only tell nonsense about the exact value.
Ye Jingshuang thought about it for a while, and finally realized that he didn't seem to have any idea.
She was born in the Ye family, and had been well-dressed and well-fed since she was a child. Even if she went to the Liuyun Sword Sect, her master would not treat her harshly.
She really has no idea about money.
Unlike Jiang Ran, who came from a hard life, even if he has a lot of money, he rarely spends it frivolously.
At this time, Jiang Ran was stumped by this question, so he finally had to say:
"It all depends on Brother Jiang."
"Okay, then it's settled."
Jiang Ran looked back at the group of Qianliu Villa disciples who were stunned by the words "million taels", and said with a smile:
"This matter is so serious that you may not be able to make the decision.
"Please ask Master Qi to come out and see you, and we can talk with him in detail."
“This is unreasonable!!!”
When the people from Qianliu Villa arrived here, how could they not know that Jiang Ran and the others were here to cause trouble?
He immediately became furious:
"How dare you come to Qianliu Villa to act so recklessly without blinding your eyes!
"Come here, punch them to death!"
As soon as these words came out, people responded one after another, and there was even a loud bang. The villa door opened wide, and a group of Qianliu Villa disciples armed with weapons rushed out of the village, shouting and shouting and trying to beat people.
Shi Miao's eyes flashed together, and there was a buzzing sound. Although the person stood still and did not move, a sharp Qi movement swept through the white clothes, mixed with fragments of sword intent, and suddenly rose.
This group of Qianliu Villa disciples who wanted to beat Jiang Ran and the others away with sticks suddenly felt in danger. They felt as if a long sword was hanging above their heads.
If he took one more step forward, he would be dead on the spot.
This feeling was so strong that their faces turned pale involuntarily.
Immediately, each of them stopped moving forward, not daring to move any further.
When the few people in front of the door saw this, their faces were a little surprised and uncertain.
Before they could speak, Jiang Ran stepped forward and spoke loudly:
"I'm down here in Jiang Ran. I've always heard that Master Qi is extremely heroic and chivalrous.
"Now that I'm here, I've exhausted all my financial means. I plan to ask for one million taels of silver from Qianliu Villa as my financial means. I also ask Master Qi to agree!
"Otherwise, Qianliu Villa will be removed from the world from now on, don't blame me for not predicting what I said!"
Although Jiang Ran is not proficient in sound transmission from thousands of miles, or sound skills such as lion's roar.
However, he can still do it by simply sending the sound out with internal force.
His inner strength is so profound that it is almost unbelievable. When he spoke these few words, the fine stones rolled on the ground, the tiles on the roof shook, and the river in the distance rippled.
Those who are close to it feel that the sound is incredibly loud, and their eardrums buzz, making them unable to stand still.
Those who were far away also looked horrified, wondering who was coming outside the door.
And just a moment after Jiang Ran's voice fell, several figures flew out of the village.
The person in front was dressed in a calm and elegant manner, with deep and peaceful eyes.
Beside him stood a man in Tsing Yi with a slightly serious look on his face.
He carried a sword on his back, and when he looked at Jiang Ran and others, there was a hint of death in his eyes.
It was as if they had never been regarded as living persons.
There were four people standing behind them, presumably the four masters of Qianliu Villa whom Ye Jingshuang mentioned.
When the thoughts in his mind fell, Qi Cheng saw that his eyes had noticed Ye Jingshuang.
Suddenly he was stunned:
"Miss?"
"Don't dare."
Ye Jingshuang shook his head slightly:
"Jingshuang cannot bear the words "Master Qi, the eldest lady".
“The main reason for coming here this time is to ask Villa Master Qi to hand over the things that I moved from Hongfeng Villa.
"If you feel that there are too many things and are too cumbersome...if you turn them into silver, Jingshuang can accept it."
Qi Cheng's face darkened.
He had just heard Jiang Ran speak in Zhuangzi and knew that this person was not someone to be trifled with.
This inner strength is profound and can be described as terrifying.
Asking for a million taels is even more nonsense.
Just think of it as a passing master or a former enemy who came to look for trouble.
It just so happened that he had an appointment with a master today, and he was not afraid of someone coming to make an enemy.
Then he led everyone out together.
Unexpectedly, the first person to see it was Ye Jingshuang.
Isn't she dead?
With this thought in mind, Qi Cheng's expression suddenly changed.
Since Ye Jingshuang is alive, there is no reason why he ran here instead of going to Hongfeng Villa.
She also knew that Hongfeng Villa had been vacated by herself...
He immediately asked:
"Miss, have you ever seen my son Qikai?"
"I've seen it."
Ye Jingshuang nodded.
"How...is he doing now?"
Qi Cheng asked carefully.
Ye Jingshuang was silent for a moment, and after thinking about Qi Kai's situation, he said:
"He has become one with Red Maple Villa."
"..."
What is this mess?
Qi Cheng was stunned and wanted to ask again, but Jiang Ran laughed and said:
"Master Qi, don't ask questions here and there, you haven't given me an answer yet.
"Do you want to pay for this million taels of silver?"
"I……"
Qi Cheng's face darkened, and as soon as he said the word 'I', he heard a chuckle coming from beside him.
He turned his head and glanced at the man in green beside him.
Just listen to him say:
"Master Qi, Hongfeng Villa has been removed from the world.
"A few kids with hairless hair still dare to come to Qianliu Villa to act wild.
"Even if she is Ye Jingshuang, so what?
"Ye Konggu's bones are almost gone, why are you still hesitating here?"
"Brother, what you said makes sense."
Qi Cheng smiled when he heard this, and then sighed:
“I’ve also been wearing a mask for a long time and can’t take it off anymore.
"It's just that this young man has good martial arts skills. I'm just afraid that my brother will help him..."
"Easy to say."
The man in green nodded and stared at Jiang Ran.
He naturally recognized Jiang Ran's voice and knew that it was this person who had just opened his mouth and used his inner strength to speak.
At this moment, where their eyes fell, the sound of a sword being unsheathed could be faintly heard in everyone's ears.
The next moment, a 'ding' sound was heard.
The two long swords touched each other in mid-air, sparking a few sparks.
Except for a few people present, everyone felt they couldn't believe their eyes.
The owner of these two long swords is Shi Miao and the other is the man in green.
However, just before this sound, these two people were standing next to Qi Cheng and Jiang Ran respectively.
How do they draw their swords?
How come you have already handed it over in an instant?
After the first 'ding' sounded, the sound never fell again.
The swords in the hands of the two people were constantly clashing, and they used light skills all the way, getting higher and higher, but in the blink of an eye they had already climbed three feet into the air.
The long swords move around each other within a small area. People cannot toss and turn in mid-air, and they rely entirely on the force from the long sword in the opponent's hand to adjust their position.
This makes this fight even more difficult.
Jiang Ran and others looked up and heard Ye Jingshuang say:
"This man in Tsing Yi seems to have a good background. He has such superb swordsmanship..."
"But Shi Miao's swordsmanship is also good. This sword realm is truly extraordinary. Her martial arts skills are even higher than when she was in Galloping Horse Town."
Jiang Ran chuckled softly:
"If she continues like this, she will probably become the number one among the younger generation, right?"
"It's hard to say.
"There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the rivers and lakes. Each mountain is higher than the other. Who dares to claim to be number one? And, Brother Jiang, have you forgotten yourself again?"
"this……"
Jiang Ran didn't forget, he just didn't want to be counted among them.
At this moment, the long sword in Shi Miao's hand suddenly fell from the air.
The figure of the man in green suddenly fell down and turned around one after another before he pointed his toes to the ground and stabilized his figure.
When he looked up again, his face was already livid.
He maintained his own identity and regarded himself as a senior. He believed that Jiang Ran and others were just starting out and were not really a threat.
But he didn't expect that now he would be beaten by this little girl who had just left the world.
As soon as they fought, they were already crushed like this...
At this moment, he stared at Shi Miao in mid-air, with his head and feet shooting up like a shooting star, and finally took a deep breath.
An obscure and extremely dark edge slowly flowed from the sword in his palm.
A feeling of coldness and deathly silence suddenly filled the air.
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, feeling that he was surrounded by this deathly silence, and there was a faint feeling of decay in his body.
He raised his head to look at Qi Cheng and found that the Master Qi was fine, but there was a faint look of defeat on the faces of his subordinates.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran immediately turned his sleeves, stretched out his hand to hold the shoulders of Ye Jingshuang and Luo Qingyi, and suddenly stepped away:
"This sword technique is wrong..."
"This is the [Soul-Destroying Sword]!"
Ye Jingshuang exclaimed:
"He is the 'Soul Sword' Ding Feng!!
"Shi Miao, this sword cannot be taken forcefully!"
However, it was too late to say this, as Shi Miao's sword had already fallen.
The two swords made a 'ding' sound again, and invisible sword energy spread from the point where the two swords clashed.
Qi Cheng did not retreat, but was the first to bear the brunt. However, he saw that with the force of Qianliu Wanfeng's fingers falling, the escaping sword energy collapsed.
However, other people in Qianliu Villa did not have such good luck.
The sword energy circulated, either passing through the heart, penetrating the arm, or, unfortunately, penetrating the head and heart.
In an instant, there were countless casualties.
But the two people fighting against each other have not stopped fighting yet.
Jiang Ran took a closer look and found that Shi Miao's situation was very unusual.
Her eyes were faintly filled with blood, and she was filled with murderous intent.
Even the sword in her hand was stained with blood red.
"She...hasn't gotten over Shi Pingzhang's martial arts yet?"
Jiang Ran looked at Ye Jingshuang subconsciously.
Ye Jingshuang's face turned serious and he shook his head slightly:
"I don't know either……"
At this moment, Shi Miao seemed to use this blood as a support, using it to fight against Ding Feng's obscure and turbid energy, causing the sword energy to fly in all directions every time.
Qi Cheng almost scolded his mother.
Feeling that Ding Feng was really unreliable, he asked him to help kill Jiang Ran.
As a result, he had a fight with a little girl, and the outcome was still undecided. Qianliu Villa was about to be wiped out by them.
Seeing the stalemate between the two, Qi Cheng suddenly took a step forward and wanted to help Ding Feng.
Ding Feng was furious when he saw this:
"you dare!!"
He, a senior figure in the world, no matter how famous he is, is fighting against a junior girl, and two old men have to bully her together?
Even if Qi Cheng dares, he can't afford to lose this person.
Jiang Ran just smiled and took a step forward:
"Master Qi, this junior is here to accompany you in two moves."
When Qi Cheng heard this, he waved his hand without even thinking about it:
"kill him!"
The four masters behind him immediately flew out and went straight for Jiang Ran.
But at this moment, the clouds of smoke rolled, and a blade of sword emerged from the clouds, and passed through a person's throat in an instant.
The man froze and fell from mid-air.
The remaining three people were shocked. Is Ye Jingshuang's swordsmanship so good?
Immediately, one person was separated and wanted to hold Ye Jingshuang down, but suddenly he heard the wind of a fist rolling like thunder, coming with a crash.
