When Chen Qing and Yu Qingshuang went down the mountain, the sky was still covered in dark clouds.
After a day, the rain did not fall.
When they arrived at the mountain gate, they found that Gongsun Xiu was already waiting outside.
Gongsun Xiu coughed and hiccuped. "Junior Brother Ye is worried about the two of you, so he asked me to come over and help take care of you."
Chen Qing cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Yu Qingshuang was a little unwilling, but she still cupped her hands, and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Gongsun Xiu smiled, and said, "Qingshuang, a sword that has killed before is different from a sword that has never killed before.
"To be able to take more than 50 moves from me despite having never left the sect, you're already the best among the younger generation of Carefree Mountain.
"The mountain lord has decided to impart the sword scripture to you."
Chen Qing asked, "What about me?"
Gongsun Xiu shook his head, and said, "Junior Brother, you can't be too hasty. If I teach you now, it will only harm you."
After he finished speaking, he gestured to Yu Qingshuang with his gaze.
Chen Qing also understood some of the logic behind this.
For ordinary people, holding a sword in their hands would cause their killing intent to rise.
Just like Yu Qingshuang—even though she had been practicing the sword in seclusion for more than ten years, she still yearned to go out and roam the martial
If he were to teach her the sword scripture, he would not be able to stop her.
After learning this sword scripture, she would probably feel a little itchy and want to find someone to slaughter.
'But I, Chen Qing, am different!
'I'm a steady person!'
…
Night fell. Tonight, the dark came especially early because of the dark clouds covering the sun.
Zhang Yangdao walked alone on the streets of the market at the foot of the mountain. Today, the streets were exceptionally quiet, and not as lively as usual.
Of course, there was a reason. Part of it was that it was going to rain, but more importantly, it was to give Carefree Mountain face.
Zhang Yangdao's many years of experience in the pugilistic world made him instinctively feel danger.
As he walked, a sky-green butterfly appeared on his shoulder.
The butterfly's wings were stained with tears, and its posture was light and cunning.
As the butterfly flapped its wings, rain began to fall all around him.
He took a step forward, and the rain followed him, covering a radius of 30 meters.
Rain Butterfly, Summon Rain.
'It's a pity that the dark clouds are heavy, but there's no rain. Otherwise, the range of my rain could be larger.'
He moved on. Bright yellow lanterns hung on either side of him in the street ahead.
In the middle of the street stood a large black umbrella.
Feng Qi sat under the umbrella and lit his pipe. He took a puff casually.
"Rain Gu, are you a cultivator who went out to train in Lotus Cave?"
Zhang Yangdao did not answer.
Feng Qi extended his hand to invite him.
Zhang Yangdao looked at a stool 10 meters in front of him. He walked over and sat down. The curtain of rain followed him and enveloped the sealed umbrella.
"I'm just one person. I didn't expect you to mobilize so many people."
In the area covered by the rain, the rain told him the situation around him through spiritual senses.
Feng Qi took a puff of his cigarette, and took a sip of the hot tea beside him. "We have to be careful when facing Senior.
"This is a sign of respect for Senior."
100 meters away, Chen Qing, who was sitting in a private room of the Bright Moon Building with a wide view, asked, "Why didn't you attack directly?"
Gongsun Xiu picked up the wine pot and poured wine for the two of them. "That person has a Rain Gu. The area covered by the rain will greatly increase his perception, not to mention that his Gu has become a butterfly.
"Sneak attacks won't work.
"Also, you have to remember one thing, that is, ascetics who walk outside will have many Gu insects on them.
"The quality might not be high, but the quantity might exceed your imagination.
"The accumulation of time and years of experience in the martial world will make a person extremely strong."
Chen Qing thought to himself, 'Are those Gu insects that he obtained from robbing and killing people all year round?'
During his ascetic journey, the man would not think too much about the future, nor would he care about the Gu insect's short life span.
After all, the stronger one was, the better.
With every additional point, there was a higher chance of survival.
Yu Qingshuang walked to the window. It was obvious that she was in a daze after knowing the reality.
Chen Qing, on the other hand, was paying attention to Feng Qi. He should be trying to get information from Zhang Yangdao now.
Feng Qi and Ye Yuntian were both at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Feng Qiao was at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Ju Xiu was also at the ninth level of Qi Refining. There were more than 10 people at the seventh level of Qi Refining around her. They should be able to take the man down steadily.
Zhang Yangdao was obviously not afraid. He said, "I was only staying at Carefree Mountain for a day. Are you going to kill me too?"
Feng Qi shouted, "Is your Lotus Cave really going to fall out with us?"
Zhang Yangdao laughed. "Lotus Cave? What Lotus Cave? I don't even know what Lotus Cave is."
He got up, drew the sword at his waist, and held it horizontally in the rain.
"I've seen a lot of murders in the pugilistic world.
"I've done too much!
"Why are there so many entanglements?
"Do you want to come one by one, or do you want to come at me together?"
Feng Qi stood up abruptly and smashed the teacup in his hand.
Clouds and fog rose from a dark alley. The fog passed through the rain, and arrived in an instant.
Gongsun Xiu said, "The Fog Gu's uniqueness allows Feng Qiao to isolate the perception of the curtain of rain, but she should not be able to take it down."
The fog passed through the rain and swam like a ghost.
When he was less than one and half a meter away from Zhang Yangdao, the fog suddenly gathered.
Feng Qiao revealed herself and thrust a cold sword at Zhang Yangdao.
As the sword gradually approached Zhang Yangdao, sword qi surged out of Feng Qiao's body, instantly dyeing the entire sword with a cold light.
Zhang Yangdao turned around and swung his sword.
He did not care about Feng Qiao's long stab at all.
Instead, he swung his sword, wanting to chop off Feng Qiao's head.
The two of them did not take half a step back. The killing intent in their swords was already determined, and they did not show any signs of withdrawing their swords!
Feng Qiao's sword stabbed into Zhang Yangdao's chest, but it was stuck in a ball of fog.
Zhang Yangdao also had Fog Gu!
Zhang Yangdao's sword slashed horizontally, and Feng Qiao's body turned into mist.
The sword shadows instantly disappeared, and two balls of mist passed by each other.
When they landed on the ground, the two swords ruthlessly clashed again!
Feng Qi did not move, and only watched coldly from the side.
Chen Qing guessed that Ye Yuntian was probably observing the battlefield from somewhere.
Facing a cultivator like Zhang Yangdao who traveled outside all year round, they were exceptionally cautious.
Gongsun Xiu raised his glass and took a sip. "He wants to escape."
Chen Qing came to the other side of Yu Qingshuang. After placing his hand on the hilt of his sword, he leaned against the window and looked at the battlefield in relief.
So, saying those harsh words was completely a facade.
This battle had really refreshed Chen Qing's understanding.
The two sword attacks that Zhang Yangdao and Feng Qiao exchanged just now were too resolute!
It was too stunning!
It was the purest form of slaughter.
Gongsun Xiu put down his wine glass. "People who are truly prepared to fight to the death don't talk so much. Moreover, this is an experienced person."
As soon as Gongsun Xiu finished speaking, Chen Qing and the others saw Zhang Yangdao break the tiles with one foot. He flew up and jumped onto the green stone wall in the alley.
As for Feng Qiao, who was testing Zhang Yangdao's strength, the killing intent in her eyes dissipated. Her eyes were extremely clear.
After Zhang Yangdao leaped onto the wall, she finally reacted.
