Chapter 172 Kill Mu Renjie! (Two Chapters in One)
"Tiger Eagle, you go south, I go east, we search separately!"
After Zhou Qing left Heishan Town, he headed towards Ping'an County and asked Tiger Eagle to patrol in the south of Zhongliu County.
Just when Zhou Qing arrived near Huanglong Mountain, the other Tiger Eagle found Wan Jiang near Zhongliu County.
"Why is Wan Jiang alone?"
Through audio-visual sharing, Zhou Qing found that Wan Jiang was suspicious and wandered around a small village outside Zhongliu County.
He immediately returned to the original route and headed towards Zhongliu County.
"Use divine power!"
Halfway, Zhou Qing ordered Tiger Eagle to use divine power to strengthen its vision.
"Huh?!"
With the strengthening of divine power, Tiger Eagle discovered the fierce battle that broke out three thousand meters away.
The two sides in the battle were Wei Hongyu, Wei Mingcheng, and Mu Renjie.
Zhou Qing's eyes condensed, and the battle fell into a stalemate.
"This grandson, is he not going to betray us?" Zhou Qing monitored Wan Jiang's whereabouts through Tiger Eagle, and his heart sank.
Considering that Wei Sheng was poisoned in the Five Poison Sect, the first to benefit was the Wan family, the lineage of the sect master.
If the matter was really done by the Wan family, it is not impossible for Wan Jiang to turn against them.
Zhou Qing did not doubt Wan Jiang before because Wan Jiang and Wei Mingcheng had a deep friendship, just like brothers.
Now it seems that in the face of absolute interests, such friendship cannot stand the test.
Zhou Qing rushed all the way and finally arrived at the outskirts of Zhongliu County.
At this time, Wei Hongyu and Wei Mingcheng had already fallen into a disadvantage, but Mu Renjie's condition did not seem to be good, but as time went on, the final winner was obviously Mu Renjie.
However, this is normal. Although Wei Hongyu and Wei Mingcheng both have second-level magic weapons, Wei Hongyu has just completed the second blood exchange, while Wei Mingcheng is only perfect in the bone refining realm.
In contrast, although Mu Renjie, who has exchanged blood four times, has injuries on his body, he has been famous for a long time. The strength of blood and true essence is far beyond Wei Hongyu and Wei Mingcheng. He can persist for a longer time with the same magic weapon.
"Crackle, crackle!"
Zhou Qing did not directly enter the village to support Wei Hongyu and Wei Mingcheng, but rushed to the vicinity of Wan Jiang first. His bones crackled all over his body, and his body rose on the spot, becoming more robust, and his originally handsome face became mediocre.
Then, he took out a new set of clothes from the storage space and changed them, and flew to a place not far behind Wan Jiang.
"Who is it?!"
Wan Jiang heard the noise and turned around very vigilantly.
"Master Xiao? Why are you here?"
Seeing that the person coming was 'Xiao Kang', Wan Jiang's body tensed up instantly.
Just when he didn't know how to respond, 'Xiao Kang' suddenly spoke first and said something that made him stunned.
"Has Brother Mu solved the Wei siblings?" Zhou Qing asked in a deep voice.
After what happened just now, he had roughly guessed the plan of Mu Renjie and Xiao Kang. Xiao Kang came to deal with him, so Mu Renjie naturally stayed to deal with Wei Hongyu and Wei Mingcheng.
From what Wan Jiang said, he seemed to be unaware that Mu Renjie and Xiao Kang were colluding with each other, so it would be easy to deal with.
Rather than waiting for Wan Jiang to ask questions and reveal his flaws, he might as well ask questions first and let Wan Jiang not have time to react.
"What does Lord Xiao mean by this?" Wan Jiang's eyes changed slightly, pretending to be puzzled.
"Zhou Qing has been killed by me. It seems that Brother Mu has not yet solved the Wei siblings, so I have to help. Since you don't know anything, let's go. Brother Mu will notify you again after the matter is done."
Zhou Qing frowned slightly and waved his hand casually.
"Junior, take your leave." Wan Jiang lowered his head, his eyes struggling for a while.
He originally wanted to wait for Mu Renjie and the Wei siblings to fight each other, but he didn't expect Xiao Kang to be connected with Mu Renjie. Now if he doesn't leave, when Xiao Kang and Mu Renjie join forces to solve the Wei siblings, Mu Renjie will probably deal with him in return.
Wan Jiang bowed respectfully and wanted to leave.
Suddenly, he saw 'Xiao Kang' looking behind him with a changed expression, and cried out in surprise: "Wei Sheng?! How could you possibly..."
"Uncle Wei?!" Wan Jiang was shocked, and turned his head suddenly, only to find that there was no one behind him. He immediately thought to himself that it was not good.
Bang!
The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his back, and a strong force hit him, and his body fell to the ground, spitting blood.
An astonishing cold air swept through his body, causing his blood and true energy to stagnate.
"You! You" Wan Jiang was shocked and angry, and didn't understand why 'Xiao Kang', a great martial artist in the blood exchange realm, would use such a despicable method to sneak attack him.
Zhou Qing didn't respond to him, and flew up and hit him with another palm.
Although Wan Jiang wanted to resist, he was severely injured by the sneak attack, and his meridians were frozen by the cold air of the ice soul. He had little ability to resist. Zhou Qing chopped him on the neck with a knife, and he fainted on the spot.
After knocking Wan Jiang unconscious, Zhou Qing put him into the storage space of the soul-inducing disk.
The cause and effect are not clear yet, so Wan Jiang cannot be killed directly. Although the matter is clear at a glance, if there is a misunderstanding, it is not to kill the wrong person.
"Mu Renjie" Zhou Qing watched Mu Renjie, who was getting braver and braver, through the audio-visual sharing of Tiger Eagle, with a cold look in his eyes.
This time, the offense and defense changed!
Boom!
Huge explosions continued to be heard in the dilapidated houses, and the sharp wind swept through the courtyard. The main room next to it had collapsed in the battle, and the walls around the courtyard were also in ruins.
"Hu~! Hu~!"
Wei Hongyu was panting heavily, and her clothes were soaked by the snowflakes that had fallen all night.
Originally, as a great martial artist in the Blood Exchange Realm, she could protect her body with both her Qi and blood and her true essence, blocking the wind, frost, and snow.
But as the fierce battle progressed, she had to resist most of Mu Renjie's attacks, and her Qi and blood were consumed in large quantities, and her true essence was gradually consumed by the magic weapon. At this time, she didn't even have the strength to block the wind and snow.
Wei Hongyu felt a little cold, and her limbs gradually showed signs of paralysis.
As for Wei Mingcheng on the side, it was even worse. He was shaking all over, and it seemed very difficult for him to even stand.
He himself was only a perfect cultivator in the Bone Refining Realm. If he didn't have the protection of the second-level magic weapon, and if he was not hit by the Explosive Blood Powder, his Qi and blood were strengthened, and Wei Hongyu resisted Mu Renjie, he would not be qualified to participate in the battle in the Blood Exchange Realm.
Even if the magic weapon took the initiative to cooperate, he was exhausted at this moment.
Seeing that Wei Mingcheng was exhausted, Mu Renjie on the side sneered and waved the snake-shaped long sword in his hand.
Whoosh!
A golden sword light like a spirit snake shot out from the tip of the sword, forming a series of lightning-like sword lights in the air. These sword lights connected end to end, forming a long chain of sword lights, and finally bypassed Wei Hongyu and attacked Wei Mingcheng beside her.
Wei Mingcheng was unable to dodge, and Wei Hongyu could only use the green toad clothes to resist this attack.
"Swish~!"
However, Wei Hongyu's green toad clothes had greatly reduced their defense at this moment. The snake-shaped sword light hit her back, piercing the double defense formed by the blood gauze and the green toad clothes, leaving a deep wound on her right shoulder, and blood gushed out.
Wei Hongyu's face was also blue and white. She covered her right shoulder and controlled the muscles to contract the wound. She couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood, and it oozed out of the corner of her mouth.
"Mingcheng! You go first!" Wei Hongyu held her breath and endured the severe pain.
"Big sister?!" Wei Mingcheng saw Wei Hongyu's resolute face and instantly understood her thoughts.
"I can't leave you behind!"
"If we don't leave now, no one else can leave!" Wei Hongyu said in a low voice.
"If I leave, you will surely die! And Wan Jiang is still here, I can't leave! Let me help you." Wei Mingcheng shook his head, as if he had made up his mind.
Wei Hongyu felt Wei Mingcheng's determination and nodded heavily: "Okay!"
"Neither of you two can leave!" Mu Renjie snorted coldly, and the white boots under his feet flashed with lightning, and he appeared beside Wei Hongyu like teleportation.
Dang!
The Golden Snake Sword was swung, and another series of lightning-like things flew out, attacking Wei Hongyu's vitals. At the critical moment, Wei Mingcheng used up his last strength to form a bronze bell defense around Wei Hongyu.
Plop!
Wei Mingcheng fell on his back and lost the ability to resist.
"Mingcheng?!" Wei Hongyu was shocked.
Dang!
Mu Renjie swung the Golden Snake Sword, and the golden sword light was like a long whip, constantly hitting the bronze bell formed on Wei Hongyu's body, and the huge roar continued.
In order to protect Wei Mingcheng behind him, Wei Hongyu did not dare to move a step.
As the Golden Snake Sword continued to release sword light to hit the bronze bell, Wei Hongyu's face became paler and paler.
"Cough cough cough!"
Suddenly, Mu Renjie's face flushed abnormally, and he coughed violently, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
"Mu old ghost! It seems that your injuries can't be suppressed!" Wei Hongyu's eyes were cold.
"Killing you is enough!" Mu Renjie smiled coldly.
"It really surprised me. I didn't expect that Brother Mu hadn't solved the Wei family siblings until now. It seems that your injuries are really serious!"
At this time, a low voice sounded in the field.
Mu Renjie and Wei Hongyu heard the words, and their expressions changed.
The battle has continued until now, and both sides have been highly concentrated. They have no spare energy to observe the surroundings, so that they don't know that there are masters approaching.
The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man standing outside the courtyard with his hands behind his back. It was Xiao Kang.
"Xiao Kang! You are finally here!" Mu Renjie's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he sneered: "Where is the boy surnamed Zhou? Have you dealt with him?"
"That boy is really hard to deal with. It took me a lot of effort."
Zhou Qing smiled faintly.
"What?! Ah Qing?!" Wei Hongyu was struck by lightning, and took a half step back in disbelief. She staggered and almost lost her balance.
"This is impossible!"
Wei Hongyu didn't want to believe that Zhou Qing, who was carrying the corpse of the wood spirit, was killed by Xiao Kang.
"Brother Mu, your injury has relapsed, and it is not suitable to fight again." Zhou Qing smiled at Mu Renjie on the side.
As he said, he walked in front of Mu Renjie and threw a jade bottle at him.
"Here is the healing elixir. Take it and regulate your breath for a while. Leave the rest to me."
"Okay." Mu Renjie took the jade bottle, opened the lid and smelled it. A strange color flashed in his eyes. He nodded at 'Xiao Kang' and immediately put away the Golden Snake Sword.
"Die!" Zhou Qing turned his back to Mu Renjie and blinked at Wei Hongyu.
Wei Hongyu was stunned. The next moment, her expression changed. Her red lips opened and closed, but she didn't have time to speak. She saw Mu Renjie's claws with murderous intent on his face grabbing 'Xiao Kang's' back.
Bang!
With a dull explosion, Zhou Qing stood still, but Mu Renjie's expression suddenly changed, and he retracted his right hand as if he was electrocuted.
Crack, crack, crack!
Mu Renjie's right hand fingers were twisted and fractured, and stained with a layer of white frost. The terrifying cold air quickly spread from his palm to his arm.
"You are not Xiao Kang?!" Mu Renjie's expression changed drastically, and he retreated back.
Crackling!
There was a burst of explosions from the bones of 'Xiao Kang', revealing Zhou Qing's true appearance. His skin was now snow-white, with a faint icy blue fluorescence, and the shocking coldness spread all around.
"Of course I am not Xiao Kang!" Zhou Qing turned around and smiled sinisterly.
He deliberately mentioned Mu Renjie's injury and gave him the poisonous pill to force him to attack him.
The fragile trust between Mu Renjie and Xiao Kang collapsed in an instant, and he chose to attack with all his strength after he showed his back.
He came into close contact with Zhou Qing's body and endured the full force of Bingpo Xuanguang.
"Zhou Qing?!!"
"Ah Qing?!"
Two exclamations sounded at the same time, but Mu Renjie was shocked and angry, while Wei Hongyu was surprised and happy.
"Die!" Zhou Qing didn't waste time talking to Mu Renjie. After fusing the Ice Evil Gu and the Corpse Worm Gu King, he was consuming his true essence every moment. So facing the seriously injured Mu Renjie, he had to take advantage of his weakness to make him sick.
Boom!
With the dual blessing of the Ice Soul Mysterious Light and the Silk-wrapped Ice Power, Zhou Qing struck out with a palm, as if a thunderclap sounded in the flat ground. A spiral force formed in the palm of his hand, like a miniature tornado, wrapped in violent true essence, and blasted towards Mu Renjie.
"How is it possible?!" Mu Renjie's eyelids twitched wildly, and his hair stood on end. He didn't expect that after not seeing Zhou Qing for more than a month, his strength was actually a world apart from the last time they fought.
He was attacked just now, and he thought that Zhou Qing had only used some special means. At this moment, when Zhou Qing made a move, he knew that his strength was no less than that of a warrior in the Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke Realm who had exchanged blood four times.
Swish!
Mu Renjie didn't dare to take the palm strike just by looking at its might. A flash of lightning flashed across his boots, followed by a faint whirlwind. His figure flew backwards more than ten meters away at an extremely strange speed, leaving a residual image on the spot.
However, before Mu Renjie could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhou Qing suddenly gave birth to a pair of ice crystal wings as thin as cicada wings. With a flap of his wings, his speed increased several times out of thin air, and he actually caught up with Mu Renjie.
"What?!" Mu Renjie looked at the palm that suddenly appeared in his sight, his pupils suddenly dilated, and his mind went blank.
Bang!
With a dull explosion, Mu Renjie's body flew backwards like a cannonball. The bones in the chest area where the palm was hit were shattered, and the entire chest cavity was sunken. A vortex-shaped pit appeared on the chest, and the surrounding skin was covered with fine wounds, and a layer of white frost quickly condensed, flashing bursts of ice-blue light.
