Chapter 1045: Kill One Person Every 10 Steps, Leaving No Trace in a Thousand Miles

Meng Qi smiled and said:

"Okay, what delicious food is there in the city? I'll go buy some to go with the wine?"

"There's a Wufeng Tower nearby. The pork head and braised beef are both very good."

Qi Zhengyan thought for a while and said.

Meng Qi walked out of the backyard, stepped onto the street under the gaze of the shopkeeper and the waiter, and stopped a passerby and asked:

"Brother, do you know how to get to the Ye family?"

The Ye family is the top family in the local area. Everyone knows where the mansion is. Meng Qi found the door with almost no effort.

It is backed by the river that runs through the city, with houses connected, green trees and quiet birds. Compared with the noisy streets of the morning market, it is almost like the suburbs. It is really a good place to find peace in the bustle.

There are nearly ten servants guarding the door of the Ye mansion. Some of them are big and strong, and some are full of energy. The two leading ones are all good at four orifices, showing the family's heritage.

Meng Qi walked around the wall and found that the Ye family's defense on the periphery was not as good as that of the imperial palace and the prince's mansion where they had just experienced the mission. After all, the head of the family and important figures were all masters of eight or nine orifices, and they could deal with most of the surprise attacks by themselves. Therefore, they only needed to arrange guards and servants near them, set up strict defenses in important courtyards, follow experts around the young masters, and conduct daily patrols in the mansion. There was no need to have enlightened people guard every few steps on the outer wall.

——The number of their enlightened masters could not reach such a luxurious level. The imperial palace and the prince's mansion concentrated most of the manpower and material resources in the world.

Going around to a hidden place covered by green trees, Meng Qi listened attentively, supported himself with his left hand, crossed the wall, and landed behind a rockery.

Not long after, a team of servants patrolled by. Because it was not long after dawn, they were scattered, and Meng Qi did not even use the "Immortal Seal Method" and watched them go away.

"Phantom Demon Body Method" unfolded, Meng Qi turned into a series of afterimages and ran towards the nearby courtyard.

In the yard, a servant was doing morning exercises. His skin was bronze and sweat was flowing. Suddenly, his eyes blurred and he saw a figure in green clothes appearing in front of him, like a ghost in the daytime. Before he could see the other person's appearance clearly and shout for help, he was hit by Rongxue's acupuncture and fell on his back.

Meng Qi's spirit was released, and his hand and body seals were coordinated at the same time, and his eyes made contact with the servant.

The servant only saw a pair of dark and deep eyes. At first glance, it was like a lake, calm and without waves. Upon closer inspection, it was full of whirlpools, sucking people's body and mind in. The person in front of him was getting taller and bigger, terrifying and majestic, like a god or demon.

Meng Qi used his mute point as an excuse to calmly ask:

"Which courtyard is Li Sui, the 'ghost sword'? How do I get there?"

The servant was unable to circulate his internal energy to fight back, and said in a daze: "In Lanxiang Courtyard, surrounded by guests...cross the bridge opposite, turn right to the third courtyard..."

He explained in great detail, including that Li Sui was a master of seven orifices, and the nearby guests were basically above six orifices. Once discovered, they would be besieged.

Meng Qi had no intention of killing innocent people. After asking for the route, he directly pressed the servant's sleep point and threw him back to his own room. With his green shirt fluttering, he walked with his hands behind his back to Lanxiang Courtyard.

Along the way, after practicing the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art and the Immortal Seal, Meng Qi's senses became more acute and his spirit became stronger. He could always detect the patrol team first and avoid it in advance. Although he was running fast, he felt like strolling in his own garden. In addition, with the peculiarity of the Phantom Demon Body Technique, if someone saw him, they would only think that they were dazzled and saw an illusion.

It didn't take long for Meng Qi to see the plaque of "Lanxiang Courtyard". Just as he was about to enter, a courtyard next to him creaked open and a white-haired old man stepped out.

At least the master of the Seven Apertures would restrain his breath and hide his voice at any time and place... Meng Qi took a step forward, his figure was like a demon, shrinking the earth into an inch, and pointed the long sword and scabbard at the white-haired old man.

The white-haired old man didn't expect to be attacked at all. He only saw a green shadow and found that he appeared in front of him. The light golden scabbard reflected the golden light under the morning sun. The light and shadow changed, confusing the eyes, and with the continuous changes of the long sword, there were illusions at all times and everywhere, which made people unable to understand and understand, and they didn't know how to deal with it at all, because if they couldn't grasp every illusion and every change, they would suffer defeat.

He had no time to call for help. His whole body and mind were focused on dealing with the sword. Cold sweat oozed from his forehead. He retreated repeatedly until he leaned against the door panel. Then he slapped his palms, changing with the changes of the long sword. It was really difficult.

Suddenly, the sword shadow was retracted, and the long sword returned to its ancient simplicity. Without any changes, it pierced the palm of the white-haired old man without any fancy moves.

The old man couldn't stop in time, so he had to spit out his palm force and hit the tip of the sword.

His face changed, and he felt that the tip of the sword was empty, empty and powerless. After the palm force surged out, it was like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, without a trace.

Under the empty force, he staggered forward, and the tip of the sword suddenly surged with great force, like a storm hitting the shore, and the internal force felt very familiar!

At this time, when he was sending out his palm force and the new force had not yet risen, the true energy from the sword tip surged into his body, quickly closing the major acupoints, and he fell down with a plop.

Meng Qi did not hide it. He quickly turned around and jumped into Lanxiang Courtyard, heading straight to the left wing. The only sound of breathing in the whole courtyard was there, which must be a master.

The maid was walking in the courtyard with a copper basin, and suddenly found a green shadow flashing by, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

Even in the daytime, she felt a chill and her scalp was numb. Was it a ghost?

—— If he hadn't taken action in the courtyard, it would have alarmed Li Sui and given him a chance to escape. Meng Qi would definitely have pressed her acupoints.

Bang!

The door was kicked open, and she looked at it intently, and found that a green shadow flashed and entered Master Li Sui's room.

Li Sui was sitting cross-legged, moving the Qi of the Heavenly Qi, with a very narrow and thin long sword on his knees. When he heard the sound of the door being knocked open, he grasped the hilt of the sword and was about to jump up.

At this moment, a long sword emitting cold air pierced his head five inches away. It seemed to have inexplicably deviated from the target and attacked the empty space, but Li Sui was shocked, because after he jumped up, he would "collide" with the tip of the sword with his eyebrows, which was tantamount to suicide.

He quickly used a thousand-pound weight to suppress the momentum of the jump, and swung the long sword horizontally, intending to force the enemy back.

The sword light was crisscrossed, dimly visible, but the real sword was hidden in the dark, no longer a ghost.

Meng Qi's sword tip suddenly bent downward, "driving" the whole person into the air, head down, feet up, avoiding the horizontal slash, and piercing Li Sui's Baihui.

The posture was weird, like an evil demon.

Oops, I fell into a trap! Li Sui had just used the Thousand-pound Weight to hold himself down. Facing the sword above his head, he could no longer change. He had to grit his teeth and use his strength. With the help of the swung sword, he leaned forward and rushed forward.

At this moment, Meng Qi's long sword flew out of his hand, accelerated, and pierced through the back of Li Sui's head with a puff, pinning him to the ground.

The figure turned back and landed gracefully. Meng Qi drew his long sword, picked up Li Sui's sword with his toes, and ran out of the door.

The two fought for only a short breath. The maid had no time to react. She watched Master Li Sui die before she woke up from a dream:

"There is an assassin!"

The sharp sound alarmed the guests in the nearby courtyards. Some of them left the house, some stopped practicing, and listened to identify the direction of the sound.

Meng Qi passed the maid and ran out of the courtyard without looking back. His green shirt fluttered, and his magic skills were fully activated. He was like a ghost or a demon. He flashed past the patrolling servants and returned to the rockery where he came in.

Until then, the guests arrived at the Lanxiang Courtyard where Li Sui lived. They only saw a panicked maid, and only saw Li Sui fell in the room, blood mixed with white slowly spreading out.

Other than that, nothing in the room was damaged.

"Where is the assassin?" Someone checked the body and someone asked anxiously.

The maid was so scared that she was out of her mind, and said tremblingly: "He killed Master Li and left."

"When did he kill him?"

A guest asked.     "I saw him kicking the door open and shouting when he killed Master Li..." The maid answered the question irrelevantly.

The guests were shocked. They and others rushed over when they heard the maid's shouting. In just a few breaths, the assassin killed "Ghost Sword" Li Sui? He was a master of seven orifices with excellent swordsmanship who had just completed his inner world!

"Chase!"

"Go and report to the head of the family!"

The guests were divided into two groups, and those who chased Meng Qi found out of the courtyard that they didn't know which direction to chase!

They hurriedly asked the servants nearby, but they didn't see the figure in green.

Meng Qi jumped out of the outer wall, flashed into the nearby street, put Li Sui's sword into the bag where Xie Jie was, inserted the ice gate, and walked towards Wufeng Tower leisurely. There were more and more pedestrians on the street, and the morning market was bustling.

After he took a few steps, the Ye Mansion was filled with exclamations, shouts, and running sounds, which seemed chaotic.

Hehe, Meng Qi smiled, walked at a leisurely pace, and turned into the street leading to Wufeng Tower.

Knowing that the strength of the warriors in Yicheng is no more than nine orifices, even if they use the clan treasures, they are only half a step outside. Meng Qi, who has enough trump cards, is very confident and has the idea of ​​showing off in front of others. Killing one person in ten steps and leaving no trace for a thousand miles, isn't this the image of traveling the world with a sword in his dream?

What "Thunder Blade Crazy Monk" and "Rampant King Kong"! Pure slander!

By the time the Ye family had assigned their personnel and chased out of the mansion, they could no longer see Meng Qi's back. There were many scholars in green shirts and swords on the street.

Carrying braised beef and pork head, Meng Qi quickly returned to the nearby Huanhua Rice Shop, while the people of the Ye family had not yet searched here and were still checking the Qingshan swordsmen near the Ye Mansion.

"Here, I'll give you a pack." Meng Qi greeted with a smile and threw a pack of specially separated meat to the shopkeeper and the waiter.

The shopkeeper and the waiter hurriedly thanked him, thinking that the cousin of Qi Zhushi was much more generous than his cousin.

Entering the yard and opening the door, Meng Qi saw Qi Zhengyan wiping the dust on the wine jar, which was obviously aged for many years.

He opened the red paper that sealed it, and a fragrance of osmanthus and wine mixed together, which made Meng Qi couldn't help but breathe a few more times.

"Come back so soon?" Qi Zhengyan asked casually. He felt that Meng Qi was unfamiliar with the place and it would take some time to find the way.

Meng Qi put down the pork head and braised beef with a smile, sat down with a swagger, poured himself a bowl of osmanthus wine, drank it in one gulp, then picked up a piece of pork head and braised beef and put it in his mouth to chew. One was fat but not greasy, and the other was chewy. They were indeed delicious.

"Good wine! Good meat!"

He praised, unwrapped, took out Li Sui's sword, put it on the table, and smiled at Qi Zhengyan:

"I went to get a sword on the way."

Qi Zhengyan took a closer look at the sword on the table, his eyes slightly condensed. Although he knew through the inheritance of the Demon Lord that Meng Qi was the fish of the Demon Buddha Ananda, he did not expect Meng Qi's current strength to improve so rapidly. He deserved to be a talent favored by Shang Yi!

Then he pretended to lose control of his expression, which was extremely wonderful. After a moment of silence, he whispered: "Ghost Sword?"

"Yes." Meng Qi drank and ate meat with an indifferent look.

Qi Zhengyan was silent again and did not ask about Li Sui's fate. He became famous for his Ghost Shadow Sword and never left his sword. If the sword was here, he would either be crippled or dead. There was no significant difference between the two.

Qi Zhengyan did this to confuse the "God's will" who was paying attention to Meng Qi.

Qi Zhengyan was going to help Shang Yi's Morota establish the eighth pawnshop in the real world, so he naturally had some authority in the pawnshop and could use part of the power of the eighth pawnshop and even the power of the soul black lotus.

If not, Qi Zhengyan would not have had foresight and prepared the power to treat his cousin in advance!

Although he wanted to prevent his cousin from suffering this disaster, Qi Zhengyan knew very well that for the script of "God's will", small trends could be changed but big trends could not be violated, and now Meng Qi's growth was the big trend!

Relatively speaking, although Qi Zhengyan knew a lot with the help of the Demon Lord's inheritance, and even had the power of the soul black lotus to help cover it up, it was precisely because he knew these truths that he felt powerless and desperate, just as the great powers in the realm of creation regarded this as a sea of ​​suffering.

Meng Qi was ignorant and fearless, and now he could have the mentality of showing his saintliness in front of others and wandering freely in the rivers and lakes.

Of course, it was this fearless mentality that created such a Meng Qi!

This is also the reason why Shang Yi did not choose to tell Meng Qi everything. The mentality of martial arts practice is very important.

Why is it that those powerful aristocratic sects have many geniuses and no shortage of skills and resources, but it is difficult for them to produce real strong people?

It is because they are bound by the inherent powerful concepts and have no real world of their own, just like the emperor's son who is imprisoned by the great emperor's law in the world of the sky.

"I just found this jar of wine from the cellar..."

Qi Zhengyan said in a low voice very cooperatively.

"Hehe."

Meng Qi laughed, and he wanted Qi Zhengyan's reaction. The wine was not opened, the person was killed, and the blood was not cold. This is the style of a swordsman.

He enjoys these feelings, but he will not pay a big price for them. Generally, he will do it as the situation allows, and he can't let it go. He is still relatively rational and sober in his heart, just like he will never exchange some flashy things or things that he will naturally have sooner or later for the sake of prestige.

If Shang Yi was here, he would probably secretly complain about his "reckless and cowardly nature" in his heart.

Qi Zhengyan handed the Ghost Sword back to Meng Qi, which was his trophy:

"Thank you!"

At this time, Qi Zhengyan's mentality had long changed from the cautiousness of the past. He didn't care about the possibility of the Ye family's attack. At the same time, he also used the No. 8 Pawnshop to see the future scene, and he agreed with Meng Qi's statement:

"The Huanhua Sword Sect is not a pure Buddhist place like Shaolin. It must take doctrine and classics as the top priority, and it will definitely protect its own secular interests first.

You are the symbol of the Huanhua Sword Sect in Yicheng. Although you have no power and no influence to ask the Ye family to hand over people, You can only watch them protect the murderer. After all, your cousin is not a disciple of Huanhua Sword Sect. But if it were the other way around, how dare they come to your house and force you to hand over the person? This is tantamount to declaring war on Huanhua Sword Sect. Even the Zhou Junwang family dare not risk this full-scale conflict! And they don't want to provoke the Six Gates and make things worse.

As for assassination, I don't think they dare to do it now. This is not a calm situation. You can't secretly find a master of the underworld, kill him and escape far away, and let Huanhua Sword Sect chase him, and you can hide it. If something happens to you now, the sect will definitely send someone to , when they find out, they will point directly at the Ye family.

No matter what your uncle is thinking or what benefits he has received, he can no longer hide the fact that the leader of a party has been killed. The truth will come out sooner or later. ”

Seeing that Qi Zhengyan looked calm and not worried about killing Li Sui, he raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself:

“It seems that Senior Brother Qi has changed a lot!”

Qi Zhengyan praised:

“Thanks to my cousin for taking action. If you hadn’t used your own method to treat him, I’m afraid I would have to wait for a while before I can avenge my cousin!”

Meng Qi drank another bowl of wine:

"No, no! Cousin, don't worry. Even if Huanhua Sword Sect doesn't support you in such a situation, why do you still stay in such a bullied sect? Just follow me and travel the world and take revenge as soon as possible."

"I believe that our sect will protect our disciples."

Qi Zhengyan's expression relaxed a little. To be honest, he was not strong before because he was afraid that the helpers sent by the sect would discover his secrets. But now he has his "cousin" Xiao Meng. When he encounters something that needs to be done openly, he will come forward, and the danger of exposing himself will be greatly reduced.

Although his "Devil Prison Mysterious Embryo Sutra" can perform any martial arts, just like Xiao Wuxiang Gong, but who knows if the elders of the sect who come here have special means, what if they are also people in the six reincarnation spaces? (End of this chapter)
