With one sword he defeated the Nine-Aperture Swordsman. Meng Qi then turned sideways like a ghost, stabbed at Tang Shu with the sword in his right hand, and slapped the window with his left palm.

Snapped!
Pieces of wood flew across the window, and a figure jumped in. His knife was as sharp as a streak of silk, as fast as a startled wild goose, and full of energy. Before the knife arrived, the round table in the room was broken in the middle, and the fracture was smooth and flat, as if it had been cut by a knife.

Tang Shu clapped his right palm, pressed his left palm on the back of his right palm, and struck out with icy palm power.

Meng Qi formed a body seal, opened his brows, merged his spirit and true energy, and took advantage of the situation to observe the enemy. He felt that there was a hot and violent aura contained in Tang Shu's icy palm power. As soon as he was touched, it would explode in his body.

He is indeed an experienced master in the martial arts world!

As for the swordsman, his true energy was densely distributed on the blade, which was strong and sharp, as if it was indestructible.

All these things were reflected in Meng Qi's mind. The five fingers of his left hand changed, stretching and retracting unsteadily, feeling weak and empty. The right sword changed from stabbing to pointing in a plain and simple manner, and it pointed at the palm force released by Tang Shu like a swallow skimming the water.

The palm force exploded with a bang, and the long sword fell into nothingness, hitting Meng Qi's palm strangely and unbearably.

Meng Qi spun around, and the violent scorching air and icy energy that exploded disappeared completely. He suddenly appeared on his left palm and slapped the long sword away with a snap.

While spinning, Meng Qi suddenly leaped out and pounced on the wall that the swordsman had stabbed before.

At this moment, there was a crisp bang, and the wall was directly knocked open. The dark, cold and sharp tip of the gun pierced in, like a poisonous dragon coming out of a cave, like a wildfire spreading across the prairie. The shadow of the gun changed and covered all of Meng Qi's retreat routes.

The person who came was a burly man with long hair untied and a shawl scattered over his shoulders. He held an unleashed iron spear in his hand, looking very majestic.

Meng Qi's Ice Fate slashed out aimlessly, the tip of the sword shaking and moving unsteadily.

Suddenly, the spear shadows in the sky disappeared, and the long spears turned into one pole, stabbing straight into Meng Qi's chest.

when!
The long sword moved unsteadily from bottom to top, and it was the last one to arrive first, cutting the tip of the spear and causing it to move diagonally upwards.

Meng Qi lowered his body, kicked with his left foot, and as fast as an arrow, with his sword dragging behind him, he jumped to the side of the spearman and stabbed suddenly.

The man with untied hair retracted the butt of his gun and hit the tip of the sword, but Meng Qi's long sword suddenly changed, sticking to the gun shaft and slashing upwards, the collision of metal and iron produced sparks.

The man with untied hair loosened his right hand and jumped back. Meng Qi pressed down with his sword, and using the rebound of the gun shaft, he pierced through his body's protective qi and pierced into his right rib.

A stream of blood spurted out, and the man with disheveled hair did an iron bridge, fell on his back, and broke away from the ice palace. He swung out his spear to block the sword.

Meng Qi retreated instead of advancing, thrusting his sword at Tang Shu's palm like a hole in his vest.

His mind became increasingly calm, his spirit and inner energy flowed more smoothly, and everything around him was as clear as the reflection in a calm lake.

Tang Shu was chasing behind him, and the swordsman had just gotten rid of the violent heat and cold air and was about to join the battle, but the swordsman strode over, with the sword's energy condensed, and was still half a breath away from the battlefield. The man with the iron spear was injured in the right rib, and he was exerting force on his waist and back, preparing to get up again. In other words, at this moment, in this half breath, his only enemy was Tang Shu, and he also borrowed the power of the iron spear!

In the nearby "Crescent Moon Room", Wu Qinxin, Shangguan Han and others watched the scene in amazement. In just two or three breaths, the fight was so fast and swift that they could not recover from the shock. They only felt that the "Gentleman Sword" Master Meng was like a demon shadow, dodging and moving between the four Nine Aperture Masters, advancing and retreating and attacking in a way that went against common sense, and actually blocked the four Nine Aperture Masters one by one with his own strength, and repelled one and killed one!
Tang Mingyue at the stairs swallowed hard. She had heard from her elders that Master Qi's cousin was very powerful, but she never expected that he was so powerful that it was scary!
Everything around him was reflected in his mind, and even the flow of Qi seemed to be witnessed with his own eyes. Meng Qi felt that he was the master and ruler of this battle. The Immortal Seal was indeed not afraid of group battles, and it was even more so when combined with the Golden Bell Cover and Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts! If there was no enemy stronger than himself, group battles would be beneficial to him!

No matter whether it was Tang Shu, the swordsman, the knifeman, or the man with the iron spear, in a one-on-one fight, if he didn't use external means, it would be very difficult for him to win, let alone kill them. But under their siege, in just a short moment, he had already injured two of them before he could even draw out his Evil Tribulation!

Of course, I have to thank Tang Mingyue for this. Without her reminder, I would not be able to take the initiative and be led by the noses of four Nine Apertures masters. After all, my Immortal Seal is only a small success and is much worse than the original version. If I am besieged by four masters at the same time, it will be very difficult to borrow strength. I have just received and haven't hit yet, and new force has hit me. I will definitely be in a panic, caught in a dilemma, and in a dangerous situation.
The advantage of seizing the initiative is that, since the start of the war, the number of enemies fighting at the same time has always been under your control and maintained at two!

In the "Hundred Flowers Pavilion", Qi Zhengyan noticed the movement, but he was not in a hurry. He believed in Meng Qi's strength. He then looked at Master Tang Wu and Lin Zhushi and said:

"What is the Tang family planning to do!?"

As he spoke, the aura in his body surged, and it was obvious that he was ready for defense.

At this time, Fifth Master Tang Sixun, as if he had been prepared, slapped out with both palms. The wind from his palms was like huge waves, one after another, and Chief Lin's face kept changing. He suddenly attacked, with his right hand turning into a claw, grabbing towards the acupoint on Qi Zhengyan's back.

Qi Zhengyan snorted coldly and clapped his right palm on the round table. A layer of frost condensed and spread rapidly, freezing the lotus soup, the vinegar fish, and the girl's red wine, all the way to Mr. Tang Wu's body leaning against the round table and Mr. Lin's left hand supporting the table.

The two of them had never expected that Qi Zhengyan had a method similar to the Half-Step Exterior Scene. They were frozen stiff, and their palms and right claws relaxed. Qi Zhengyan dodged and slapped them again. Their blood froze, their faces turned pale, and they trembled, unable to move.

In this situation, Qi Zhengyan would not even consider the issue of whether he would be exposed or not. After all, he was a man who had experienced several reincarnation missions and had the ability to make decisions!

Meng Qi thrust his long sword inward, with the force of an iron spear setting a prairie on fire, and pointed at the weak spot in Tang Shu's palm power.

With a light "puff" sound, Tang Shu's palm power was pierced, and his energy was borrowed away. He screamed in pain, blood spurted out of his palm, and he exerted force on his feet and flew backwards.

Meng Qi was just about to take advantage of the situation to attack the swordsman when his heart, which was as clear as a mirror and as pure as water, suddenly became disturbed, as if something powerful had blocked his outward spirit and mixed true energy.

A sense of danger arose in his mind, and without thinking, Meng Qi used Tang Shu's palm power to pounce on the broken window.

As soon as his figure stood up, he suddenly turned around, like a ghost or a demon, rushed to the opposite room, broke the wooden door, broke the wooden window, and jumped towards Shangshui.

The first swordsman to be repelled had a long sword in his hand that glowed with purple light. There were many marks on the sword and it was surrounded by a sharp aura, as if it were real. The aura made all the guests in Huayue Tower feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts, as if a sharp sword was hanging over their heads!
The swordsman's forehead was sweating as he swung his sword at Meng Qi's back with great difficulty.

"Ding~~~"

A sword was thrust out but did not hit Meng Qi's back. Instead, a shadow of a black bird emerged and blocked the long sword with a purple glow.

At the same time, a mysterious wave flashed by, and a trace of struggle appeared in the swordsman's eyes. Finally, his face changed and he jumped out of the window to escape.

With a splash, Meng Qi fell into the water. Under the influence of the sword energy, the waves rolled.

At this time, Wu Qinxin, Tang Mingyue and others rushed to the nearest window and looked at the water worriedly.

The water surface was shaking, making it difficult to see what was happening below, but suddenly, waves surged up, mixed with a little blood and attacked Huayue Tower.

The waves were not strong enough and fell down before they rose halfway. The river returned to silence, and there was no corpse or human figure.

In the riverside room at the edge of Huayue Tower, Ye Xiaojie, the third young master of the Ye family, looked at the person opposite with a smile and said with a little complacency: "The Huanhua Sword Sect and the Zhou Junwang family are about to clash."

The person opposite him looked at Shang Shui in a trance: "How could he survive under the Purple Death Sword..."

Suddenly, he looked in the direction of the Ye family, because there his puppet of the Ye family was almost killed by the head of the Ye family who was carrying a precious weapon. If he had not left more tricks on the head of the Ye family, his layout in Yicheng would have almost failed.

Seeing Meng Qi escape by water, Qi Zhengyan returned the "Dragon Patterned Red Gold Sword" to its sheath, looked back at Tang Wuye and Lin Zhushi, pondered for a moment, and walked directly to Tang Wuye's side, exerting his strength to help him soothe his meridians and dissolve the frost, but at the same time he also pressed Tang Wuye's acupoints. You, what do you want to do? Tang Wuye was extremely surprised and asked with his eyes.

Qi Zhengyan glanced at him, his face expressionless, like a cold-blooded butcher, which frightened Tang Wuye so much that his heart trembled, and his eyes pleaded: I, I was bewitched...

Qi Zhengyan ignored everyone and waited until there was no trace of the Bibingxue Qi on Master Tang Wu's body. Then he pulled out the long sword that Master Lin carried with him, and while unblocking Master Tang Wu's acupoints, he used the "Luoxia Qiushui Sword" and pierced Master Tang Wu's throat with one sword.

Tang Wuye fell to the ground, and he cried out, he couldn't believe that he would kill without asking any questions! Didn't he care why he betrayed Huanhua Sword Sect and joined the Wang family? Didn't he care about the secret behind this matter?

Qi Zhengyan said expressionlessly:
"You know too much."

For him, he did not want to expose his own strength yet, and the sect was also very clear that he did not have any of the half-step external scene techniques left by the sect. Once the sect wanted to investigate, he would be put in a passive position.

He wiped the hilt of the sword, returned the sword to Master Lin, and then pressed his acupoints to melt the frost in his body.

Master Lin's eyes were filled with fear, but he had no other options. Qi Zhengyan prescribed medicine for him and killed him on the spot.

He had already thought of how to write the letter to the sect. The letter was about Master Lin being bribed by the enemy and deliberately selling out the interests of the sect. He repeatedly colluded with outsiders to harm his relatives. Later, he took advantage of the banquet to assassinate Master Tang Wu, who was close to the sect, and tried to kill himself and put the blame on himself. He had no choice but to use the trump card given by his cousin to kill Master Lin. Later, he discovered that Master Tang Wu had also betrayed him and the banquet was a trap.

In short, at this moment, he is the only person in charge of the Huanhua Sword Sect in the city, and what he says is the truth.

Even if there are doubts within the sect, if we really investigate, the problems with Chief Lin will be obvious!
The door was pushed open, and the other guards of Master Tang Wu rushed in and saw Qi Zhengyan with a serious face.

And Qi Zhengyan seemed to see a figure flash by out of the corner of his eye, and then disappeared without a trace.

Tang Jing watched this scene quietly. He didn't even have time to make a move before the battle was over. At the same time, he realized that Qi Zhengyan and Meng Qi were no weaker than himself.

When Qi Zhengyan returned to "Huanhua Rice Shop", he saw Meng Qi looking at the tea with a heartbroken look on his face.

"Cousin, are you seriously injured?" Qi Zhengyan asked with concern.

Meng Qi shook his head. With Shang Yi's help from a distance, he was not actually attacked by Bao Bing.

"Then why do you have such an expression?" Qi Zhengyan asked puzzledly.

Meng Qi gritted his teeth and said:
"My Bingque, if I don't take revenge, I'm not a gentleman!"

Although he left safely, the Bingque Sword was still broken by the aftermath of the sword energy in the river.

"Xiao Meng, why are you feeling bad? Since it was the Ye family who did it this time, go get the materials from them later and I will make you a good sword!"

Shang Yi's voice suddenly reached the ears of Meng Qi and Qi Zhengyan, shocking and surprising them.

They were shocked at Shang Yi's powerful strength, and that he could even support them while playing in the city. They were also surprised that Shang Yi would help them forge swords, which would greatly enhance their combat effectiveness.

After the surprise, Qi Zheng said: "I will write a letter back to the mountain immediately to report this matter to the master and ask them to send reinforcements."

"it is good."

Meng Qi answered casually when Qi Zhengyan was writing the letter.

Meng Qi thought for a moment and asked, "How long will it take for the letter to return to the mountain?"

"Our sect has some spiritual birds raised in a farm outside the city. They will be sent out tomorrow and will arrive at the mountain gate within two days." Qi Zhengyan answered honestly.

"Including the arrival of the strong people from outside, it will take about three days. I hope there will be no accidents." Meng Qi nodded.

Should I find the elders and guests from the four aristocratic families to "practice" with in the next few days?
The next morning, just as the two of them finished their training and Qi Zhengyan was about to rush to the manor, a waiter hurried in to report:

"Master Qi, something terrible has happened! Old Master Tang has completely fainted, and Wang Zai from the Wang family has come to visit the Tang family in person, and they are going to decide on the head of the family today!"

Wang Zai? Meng Qi and Qi Zhengyan looked at each other, and their hearts were slightly disturbed. This man was the illegitimate son of the Wang family. He was extremely talented in martial arts. He was only twenty years old, but he had already opened all eight acupoints. He was ranked twenty-third on the Human Rankings, and his nickname was "Guardian Sword".

The guy took a breath and continued:

"Master, there is another piece of news. It is said that the elders of the Tang family want to marry Miss Tang Jiu to Mr. Ye San, and the two sides will form a marriage alliance!"

Meng Qi was not in a hurry at all, and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth:
"It looks like Master Tang Jing will be the next to appear!"

As he spoke, Meng Qi looked out the window, which was the direction of the Tang family in Yicheng.

The Tang family mansion is located at the exit of Shangshui City. The courtyard is deep and covered with moss, showing the vicissitudes and heritage of the century-old family.

Since it was Master Tang Wu who died after "assassinating" the leader of the Huanhua Sword Sect, the other members of the Tang family disagreed with holding a funeral for him, as it was tantamount to declaring war on the Huanhua Sword Sect. As a result, crying sounds were heard only from their room, and the rest of the Tang Mansion remained as it was, but the entire mansion seemed gloomy and undercurrents were surging.

Several guards at the door would peek inside from time to time, occasionally looking at each other and sighing.

"What is the Second Master thinking? Marry Miss Nine to that bastard Ye San!" a guard said gritting his teeth.

Ye San's notoriety spread far and wide in the city. Even ordinary families were unwilling to marry their daughters to him, let alone the aristocratic families!
Another guard sighed, "The situation is stronger than people. If we don't form an alliance, tie up the Ye family, and rely closely on the Wang family, we will not be able to establish a clan in the city."

"Bah! If Second Master, Fifth Master, and Seventh Master hadn't been so confused as to give up the powerful support of Huanhua Sword Sect, how could they have ended up like this? Humph, and why would they get Miss Nine through marriage? Miss Thirteen of Seventh Master's family is still young, and Miss Six of Second Master's family has already reached the age of marriage!" The guard next to him cursed in a low voice, "I think Second Master wants to take this opportunity to kick Miss Nine out. It's not like there have never been female heads of families in the past!"

For aristocratic families, it is very rare for a female head of the family. Generally, there are only two possibilities. One is that the head of the family is the only daughter, and she is extremely talented, even more so than the men in other families. With the support of the head of the family and the elders, she becomes the head of the family and marries a son-in-law. The other is that this woman has strong support from outside who is able to suppress the entire family.

Tang Mingyue does not meet all the conditions, unless Old Master Tang suddenly wakes up and makes this decision with the help of years of pressure and the elders and guests who are only loyal to him. However, if he dies, Tang Mingyue's position as the head of the family will not be stable. But Master Tang and others are in a hurry to arrange a marriage for her, and they choose the worst choice, which is puzzling.

The guard who spoke first shook his head and said, "It is said that the Patriarch of the Ye family personally asked Miss Nine to marry Ye San, saying that he wanted her to control Ye San. Hey, if he could control Ye San, what would he have done long ago?"

Ye San can be so domineering, there is no doubt that he is the legitimate son of the head of the family.

Thinking that the beautiful, kind-hearted and unpretentious Miss Nine was going to marry the hated Ye San, the guards were also quite depressed. They looked at each other and sighed again. They had no say in such matters. (End of this chapter)
