Chapter 137: Go with the Sword
In such a thunderstorm, Zhong Yashe and Wang Hong, who were trembling in fear under the pressure of the thunder god, all had their eyes fixed, and their pupils were filled with the huge thunder with spreading branches and claws.
It broke through the roof and poured down, illuminating the entire hall like daylight, with tiny electric snakes leaping!
Looking at the silver-white scenery like a sea of lightning near the steps, Zhong Yashe took a few steps back, and only one thought echoed in his mind:
"Outdoor scene!"
The magic knife on his waist made a mournful cry, as if it was hurt by the power of thunder and lightning!
But this mournful cry could not wake Zhong Yashe up. All that was jumping in his eyes was the reflection of lightning, and the scene in front of him was like a legend of gods and demons!
Not only him, but also Bai Bazheng, the Lord of the Sea of Fish, was like this. He was only ten feet away from Yuan Mengzhi, and he felt the power of the Nine Heavens Thunder God most clearly. Looking at the "ocean" with jumping lightning, his hands trembled, and he dared not take a step, for fear of angering the "outer scene strongman" and giving him a thunderbolt.
Du Mo was loyal to Yuan Mengzhi, but under the power of thunder and lightning, he was also trembling physically and mentally, and did not dare to rescue him, because in this situation, rushing over would only be courting death!
Yuan Mengzhi's whole body flew into the air, entangled by the silver-white lightning snake, sizzling continuously, and after landing with a snap, people could see his current appearance: his whole body was charred, the saber was broken into pieces, and no items or skin on his body were intact.
His hair was still burning, his clothes were still burning, his eyes were wide open, but the emotions contained in them could no longer be seen. A knife mark passed between his eyes and reached the center of his eyebrows. There was still a flash of lightning snakes, the wound was charred, and not a drop of blood was spilled.
Meng Qi stood in front of Yuan Mengzhi, holding the Red Sun Demon-Suppressing Knife in his right hand, with thunder and lightning surging around him. In the eyes of Zhong Yashe and others, he was indescribably tall and majestic!
"Brother, I knew you would come to save me!" Zhenhui ran towards Meng Qi happily.
The horse bandits escorting him subconsciously wanted to catch him, but when they saw Meng Qi's emotionless black eyes, their legs softened immediately. Dare to block him? The boss Yuan Meng, who had opened all nine orifices, was lying there!
"Let's go." Meng Qi said to Zhenhui with a smile, inserting the Red Sun Demon-Suppressing Knife behind his back, and the Bingque Sword returned to the scabbard at his waist.
He didn't even look at Bai Bazheng, Du Mo, Zhong Yashe and other horse bandits, as if there was no one else in the whole hall, as if they were chickens and dogs, not worth looking at,
"Yeah!" Zhenhui nodded vigorously, looking at the food that was burnt black by lightning with regret.
Meng Qi turned around, pressed the sword with his left hand, and walked leisurely. Zhenhui quickly followed, mumbling about what happened after they parted.
Watching them leave as if no one was around, neither Bai Bazheng, the Nine Apertures master, nor Du Mo, the loyal subordinate, had any reaction. They were relieved. It was good that they left. It was good that they left. Don't implicate them!
Under such a powerful force, being fearless and fearless is just a lip service. Who would fight to the death if they were not forced to?
Zhong Yashe and others were even more miserable. Some took a few steps back, and some sat down limply. No one dared to look directly at Meng Qi, even though they had already made it clear that this was the little monk on the evil knife's killing order. But the problem was that if he didn't come to kill them, it would be the Buddha's blessing. Who would dare to touch his beard? Touch his reverse scale?
The gap between the external scene and the awakening is the gap between mortals and immortals!
Bai Bazheng could tell from the fight just now that Meng Qi was only four-level strong. He had a sword technique with sword intent, which could challenge opponents of higher levels. It was not a sword technique. The lightning that killed Yuan Mengzhi should be the effect of the tools or talismans on his body. However, no one knew whether he had similar items or whether the items could still be used. It was not worth risking his life for Yuan Mengzhi. It was better to notify Ze Luoju and let this master of sword technique handle it himself.
In this way, the room was full of powerful horse bandits, but they watched Meng Qi leave. No one stopped him, no one spoke, and most people did not dare to look directly at his back.
He carried a sword and a knife crosswise on his back, and a sword hung on his waist. He pressed the sword with his left hand. He was leisurely and calm. He stepped out of the door in the eyes of nearly a hundred enemies and disappeared into the darkness outside.
Such a back was deeply engraved in the hearts of horse bandits such as Zhong Yashe and Gong Shayue.
After a long time, someone groaned, "The power of heaven and earth is really terrifying!"
"I didn't expect him to attract thunder!"
For most horse bandits, it doesn't matter whether Meng Qi is an outdoor scene or not. What matters is that he has demonstrated the lethality of the outdoor scene. After all, no one dares to bet whether he can do it again!
"Xiao Meng, Zhending, these two names will indeed be famous in the vast sea and become famous..." Zhong Yashe sighed strangely. Even those at the bottom of the human list may not be able to kill the nine-orifice master Yuan Mengzhi with one move.
Of course, there are also Gu Xiaosang on the human list who made three shots and killed one eight-orifice and two nine-orifice monsters.
…………
Walking out of the city lord's mansion and turning into the shadows outside, Zhenhui was still chattering about his experience in the rivers and lakes.
Suddenly, he saw the body of the senior brother next to him sway, and the whole person became weak and almost fell to the ground.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Zhenhui asked with concern.
Meng Qi smiled bitterly: "I'm just a little exhausted."
The damn Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation only said that Lei Hen could attract thunder three times in thunderstorms, but he never mentioned that it consumes so much energy!
After using all his strength to "cut off the purity", he still had the energy to fight normally, but now, except for walking, he really has no extra energy.
In the situation just now, the wolves looked around, and if they showed any weakness or mistakes, they would be cut into pieces and their belongings looted.
So Meng Qi held on by force, using his experience of pretending to be a master many times, ignoring the others, and leaving in a chic and elegant manner. Combined with the residual power of the thunder, he really subdued them.
If he still had the strength to fight again, with Meng Qi's active personality, he would definitely not pretend like this before, but would point his long knife at the bandits and say, "I will avenge my grudge on the spot!" "You are just chickens and pottery dogs, killing them will dirty the precious sword!" "Who dares to step forward and fight?"
But since he has lost his strength, he can't provoke anymore. If some fool rushes out, it will be a big joke!
Zhenhui quickly supported his senior brother. Under his command, he quickly found the soul-replenishing pill and fed Meng Qi one. Then he supported him and performed the light skill of the flower-picking finger, running towards the Lao Cao Hotel.
As soon as the pill was taken, Meng Qi's ears seemed to echo with cries and screams. He calmed his mind and practiced meditation, ignoring them. Gradually, he felt something turning into a stream of heat, replenishing his body and soul.
At this time, it was raining heavily and thunder was echoing. There were not many pedestrians on the street. The two arrived at Lao Cao Hotel not long after. Thanks to the power of the medicine, Meng Qi recovered some strength. He pressed the sword with his left hand again, stepped into the door in a chic and elegant manner, and walked towards Xie Jiugui.
You can't reveal that you only have a little strength, otherwise it's hard to guarantee that Xie Jiugui won't have any bad intentions.
After seeing the thick thunder strike the city lord's mansion, Gu Changqing turned around and walked back to Lao Cao Hotel. No matter Meng Qi's secret or the help of the outside expert, Zhenhui will definitely be rescued.
He waited so confidently for a while, and saw Meng Qi walking leisurely with the sword pressed, and secretly praised in his heart, Xiao Meng is really good-looking! Good appearance!
"Let's go, leave the city." Meng Qi didn't want to delay, lest anyone come back to their senses.
Xie Jiugui burped and staggered to his feet: "Come with me to the back to change clothes."
After changing into a local tribal outfit to cover his sword, Xie Jiugui led the three people to the nearest city gate.
When they arrived at the edge of the city, Meng Qi held the hilt of his sword cautiously. He had recovered a little combat power.
The gatekeeper didn't ask a word, quietly opened the city gate, and watched the four people go out - Yuhai City is small, so it doesn't have to be so troublesome to open the gate.
After leaving the city, Meng Qi had more confidence in Xie Jiugui's ability in this regard, and followed him to the lake, where a small boat was parked.
"Don't ask after you get on the boat, we will take you to the other side, which is only a day's journey from Tanhan. Once you get to Tanhan, the terrain is complicated and no one can find you." Xie Jiugui said in a deep voice, rarely serious.
He said that no one could find him, which means that no one could find him under tight time. After all, at most six or seven days, the Shaolin reinforcements will arrive, who would dare to take the risk of searching for the Shaolin orthodox?
"The rest of the money should be paid now?" Meng Qi asked calmly.
Xie Jiugui shook his head: "Give it to the boatman when we get to the other side. I'm not afraid that you will default on the debt. Anyone who dared to default on the debt before now lives at the bottom of the fish sea."
Secretly guessing how strong the power behind him was, Meng Qi said nothing more and boarded the boat with Gu Changqing and Zhenhui.
The boatman wore a bamboo hat, as if he came from the Central Plains. He had dark skin and was taciturn. He rowed the oars honestly behind the boat.
Meng Qi closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, trying to recover his strength. Gu Changqing and Zhenhui were very tactful and did not speak. They also adjusted their own state.
At this time, a mist suddenly rose. Meng Qi immediately drew out his long sword, posed as if to send a card, and looked ahead vigilantly.
"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions." A vague voice that seemed to come from a dream sounded, and a figure with feathered clothes and a high crown appeared in front of Meng Qi. His face was blurred and he could not see his appearance clearly.
"What do you want to do?" Meng Qi asked in a low voice. Zhenhui and Gu Changqing next to him seemed to be asleep.
The man in the feathered robe and high hat smiled and said, "We think you have potential and want to recruit you as a candidate for our organization."
"Preparatory? What organization are you?" Meng Qi frowned and asked.
"I can tell you after you agree and swear the oath of the soul." The man in the feathered robe and high hat said leisurely.
"Haha, do you think I will agree to this?" Meng Qi pulled out a mocking smile.
The man in the feathered robe and high hat chuckled and said, "Our organization has a huge force and enough resources to support you to grow into a strong man in the field. Don't you think about it?"
This is not how pyramid schemes work! Meng Qi complained in his heart and did not answer.
The man in the feathered robe and high hat sighed: "Okay, I know you can't make up your mind for a while, I will leave a talisman, if you think it through in the future, light it, and someone will come to find you at that time."
