Chapter 183 Broken Qi (3rd Update)
The night was silent, only the wind disturbed his mind. The Queen of Demons was in front of Meng Qi, but she gave him an empty feeling.
"Good swordsmanship." The hoarse and charming voice came into his ears and plucked his heartstrings. Meng Qi was in the backlash of "breaking the purity" and couldn't help but be shaken.
At this moment, the sound of the piano changed, and the sound of high mountains and flowing water was clear and pleasant. Meng Qi restrained his emotions, and the evil robbery was pulled back. "Ice Pagoda" was raised, showing a posture of sending sticks. The distance was so close, let's see what tricks you can play!
As the long sword was raised, a sigh appeared in the Queen of Demons' slightly vicissitudes of life, and her left hand waved lightly.
Meng Qi only felt that his body seemed to be entangled and pulled by something, and was pulled to the side. It was difficult to make a sword move and he couldn't make a move in a hurry!
Yin Qi Tianluo!
Although the golden bell protected his body, the feminine energy could not invade Meng Qi's body and directly manipulate his true energy and muscles, but it could wrap around like invisible silk threads and affect Meng Qi's movements.
Being trapped in the range of Tianluo Gong is like prey on a spider web. The more you struggle, the tighter it gets!
And the Queen of Demons is the poisonous spider that quietly preys on its prey!
The Queen of Demons extended her right palm, her five fingers slightly bent, and grabbed Meng Qi's head. Her fingers moved slightly like blooming petals, changing unpredictably and hard to guess, but the strong wind was fierce, layered, like a substance, bursting from within, and anyone hit would die.
Although ordinary masters in the opening period can also send out palm wind and sword energy, the effect of hurting people is not obvious. Often, a few steps away, it is equivalent to a strong wind blowing in the face, without any lethality, unless it is a special skill such as the splitting palm. Moreover, even if the distance is quite close, if the opponent's strength is not much different, he can still resist it, and at most suffer some minor injuries and interference. Therefore, the battle between them is still mainly close combat, and the palm wind and sword energy are at most auxiliary.
As the number of orifices opened increased and the internal strength increased, the lethality of the palm wind and sword energy also became stronger. When the Demon Queen reached a state equal to or more than half a step outside, and her physical body was not far from the level of a grandmaster, she could already release her true energy to form a protective qi, and her palm wind and finger wind became extremely terrifying, and she could kill people with one palm from more than ten steps away!
In the face of their powerful internal strength, terrible palm wind and finger wind and other attacks, ordinary moves are useless because they can't get close at all!
When You Haoduo attacked Meng Qi, whose sword skills were unpredictable but whose internal strength was abolished, he wanted to kill him with a palm without the long sword, but was tricked by Meng Qi, who had intact martial arts, using the Ananda Breaking Precepts Sword Skill.
The finger wind was like a knife or a sword, shooting from afar, bursting out from the inside, layer by layer, so that even if Meng Qi saw the flaws in the Demon Queen's body skills and wanted to use the long sword, it was difficult to penetrate because the strong wind was like substance.
The Demon Queen's speed was not fast, as if she was moving forward with the darkness around her, slowly and heavily but irresistibly!
The sound of the zither was clear and melodious. Meng Qi was startled and forced to restrain himself. He was not suppressed by the momentum and disturbed by the spirit. He used the Ananda Breaking Precepts Knife Heart Method to keep his mind in an ethereal state before the knife was drawn.
Although he had recovered his energy after a period of rest and had just used the "Broken Purity" normally, he had to use the Sacrifice Skill to make another knife. However, he used the Heart Method to maintain his state of mind to avoid a sudden collapse in the confrontation of qi.
His muscles bulged, holding up his nightgown, and the dark gold flowed. He had to break free from the entanglement of the "Yin Qi Tianluo" first.
Suddenly, he had a thought in his mind and stopped this attempt. His spirit spread out along the feminine energy that was entangled with him!
His ethereal and calm mind, like the surface of the water, reflected the surrounding scenes. Invisible feminine silk threads swayed in all directions, some wrapped around his arms, some around his ankles, and some formed a net nearby.
They all came from the Demon Queen's body and were still under control, so Meng Qi used the silk wrapped around him to spy on the Demon Queen's true qi distribution, body movements and the mysteries of the five fingers!
His mind was calm and reflected everything. The law of the flow of the protective qi around the Demon Queen and the distribution of the strength of the finger wind were clearly displayed.
At this moment, the words "breaking qi style" appeared in Meng Qi's mind, and he suddenly realized that in order to practice this move, this kind of spiritual realm or the ability of the immortal seal to know the enemy with spirit and detect the enemy with true qi is indispensable.
He thrust out his long sword, "walking" in the thousands of strands of feminine qi, crookedly, as if guided by an inexplicable meaning, penetrated through, and pierced the weakest part of the finger wind, which was also the link between the past and the future.
Puff, the finger wind dissipated, the Demon Queen let out a light exclamation, bent her five fingers, and flicked them leisurely, beautifully hitting the tip of Meng Qi's sword and sweeping it away.
Suddenly, the sound of the zither changed, becoming sharp and piercing, as if even the strings were broken, and a sharp gust of wind shot out and hit the Demon Queen.
The Demon Queen waved her sleeves, and the feminine energy connected, diverting the gust of wind, allowing it to hit the nearby trees, leaving deep scars.
Ruan Yushu still has this trick? Is there something strange about the zither?
Meng Qi didn't have time to be surprised, so he seized the opportunity and slashed with his long sword.
The sword light was pure, condensed and cold, as if it was the call of Jiuyou, and it shot towards the Demon Queen's brow. The timing and position were just right, and it was the flaw in her body-protecting qi flow!
The Demon Queen snorted lightly, grabbed with her right hand, and countless feminine energy was recovered, entwined layer by layer around her brow, forming a feminine air cocoon.
There is no retreat, no return, the speed of the sword light seems to contain the law, and the air cocoon has not yet been completely formed, and the long sword has arrived.
Bang!
The feminine air cocoon exploded, and the long sword's forward momentum was blocked. The Demon Queen's left index finger pointed at the tip of the long sword, and the energy overflowed.
Because of the true energy wrapped in it, and because the momentum of the "Yan Luo Tie" was destroyed by the air cocoon, her white jade-like fingers did not have any scars.
Her veil suddenly split into two pieces and slowly fell, revealing a jade-like face that seemed to have not been eroded by time, with delicate features and stunning appearance. Time seemed to have only made her eyes more vicissitudes and fatigue, and her temperament more mature and charming.
"Good swordsmanship." The Queen of Demons praised again in a hoarse voice.
Meng Qi gritted his teeth and was about to use the self-sacrifice technique, desperately using the "Falling in the Red Dust". With the help of the flow of true energy and the distribution of silk that he had just sensed, he slightly forced the Queen of Demons to retreat, and turned around and fled!
At this moment, the Queen of Demons, with her fingers against the tip of the sword, floated up like a paper man, and fell under the big tree in the distance with the night wind, forming a harmonious whole with the darkness, trees, grass and stones, as if there was nothing.
It turned out that she had not had time to use her full strength just now... Meng Qi understood at once that the Queen of Demons had just grabbed it casually.
A wisp of black hair on Meng Qi's head was floating, and because there was no golden bell to protect him, he was affected by the wind.
"Do you want to explore the palace and find out the old man's true situation?" The Demon Queen did not attack again, but looked at the two with indifferent and vicissitudes of life.
Hearing her question, Meng Qi's heart was slightly calmed, but he did not dare to give up the will to fight. Now the two sides are still entangled with each other. If the will to fight is gone, the Demon Queen may take advantage of the situation to attack.
Meng Qi put his sword in an offensive posture and said coldly: "Do you want to cooperate?"
"I can't find a master like you under my command, and I don't have your stealth skills." The Demon Queen said calmly.
She witnessed us kidnapping Lu Huasheng before? How could it be such a coincidence? And didn't the Ghost King surrender to her? Questions arose in Meng Qi's mind, and he said calmly: "What do you want to do? Why should I believe you?"
"If I want to kill you, you will not be able to escape tonight." The Demon Queen said calmly without showing off or being proud. After the fight just now, she was still confident. Of course, it might also be a mental battle. "You want to confirm the old man's condition, and I also want to confirm that we have common goals and interests in this matter. As for whether we are allies or enemies in the future, no one knows."
"At the latest, at the earliest, we will explore the palace at night. I will be responsible for leading away and restraining Wang Derang, and you will sneak into the bedroom to confirm the old man's condition."
Meng Qi thought quietly for a while: "Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you about the result of the confirmation?"
"Once confirmed, no matter what the old man's condition is, there will always be corresponding changes. I can know the result without you saying it." The Demon Queen did not change her mood at all.
"Okay, but I have to ask Lu Shuai first. If he doesn't know the emperor's condition, then we will explore the palace at night tomorrow." Meng Qi nodded in agreement.
And he used a knife and a sword continuously tonight, which consumed a lot of energy.
The Demon Queen nodded slightly, took a step back, and disappeared into the shadows, responding to people in a timely and lingering manner.
Meng Qi turned his head and looked at Ruan Yushu who had tied the strings of the zither again. He was slightly relieved that it was just the hair that fell off, not the wig: "I didn't expect you to be able to play the song of true energy?"
Just now she stroked out a strong wind like a sword!
This is simply equivalent to the sword energy running wild, hurting the enemy from a distance. The daughter of a noble family should not be underestimated!
"My father loves me more and gave me this guqin." Ruan Yushu still looked cold and indifferent.
"How many orifices have you opened?" Meng Qi couldn't help asking.
Ruan Yushu said frankly: "Four."
A guy who is about the same age as me, or maybe younger... Jiang Zhiwei was only at this level when she was this age - she used the Tiancong Pill, but to be honest, with her talent, she can open her ears normally in a month or two... Meng Qi thought about it while checking himself and found that the Golden Bell Cover, which was just a little short of it, finally succeeded in entering the door under the oppression and invasion of the Yin Qi Tianluo just now. He finally stepped into the ranks of the sixth level and could condense the acupoints related to the nose!
Returning to his own courtyard, Meng Qi did not rush to ask Lu Guan, but planned to regulate his breath and stabilize it.
"Why don't you look for the Sword Emperor?" Ruan Yushu asked suddenly.
Hearing this, Meng Qi turned his head and looked at him, laughing: "You have been holding back this question for a long time, right? You wanted to ask it just now, right?"
Ruan Yushu raised his head and turned to leave.
Meng Qi hurriedly said: "Because the fourth prince is unclear about the enemy, it is very dangerous to look for the Sword Emperor, and the Demon Queen is at least an ally."
"Ally?" Ruan Yushu stopped and asked in confusion.
"I decided to capture Lu Huasheng on impulse, but the Queen watched the whole process. Do you think it's such a coincidence?" Meng Qi smiled.
Ruan Yushu frowned slightly: "Luo Shengyi?"
Did he betray the two of us?
"No, if Luo Shengyi betrayed, the Queen would not have to watch and risk being discovered. She would just have to wait for him to report." Meng Qi said a little proudly, "There is another person who knows where we are going."
"The third prince?" Ruan Yushu understood.
Meng Qi nodded gently: "Yes, Third Prince, it is not the Seventh Prince who is colluding with the Demon Queen, but the Third Prince! Because if the collusion with the Demon Sect is exposed, all the civil servants in the court will oppose it, so he deliberately let the Demon Queen take action against Luo Shengyi to create a false impression, so that Luo Shengyi will no longer doubt it."
"Didn't the Demon Queen say just now that she doesn't have masters like me under her command? If she supports the Seventh Prince, the Ghost King is no worse than me."
"The Ghost King is the Ghost King, and the Demon Queen is the Demon Queen. The Ghost King surrendered to the Seventh Prince, which does not mean that he surrendered to the Demon Queen."
"Moreover, only with the support of the Demon Sect that has been secretly arranged for many years, the Third Prince's intelligence network can be so efficient!"
Ruan Yushu's expression fluctuated slightly: "Mang Jin Gang also has a smart side..."
Meng Qi's slightly smug smile suddenly froze on his face.
