And at this moment.
Qing Li gently lifted his hat with one hand and picked up the bamboo stick with the other.
One end of the bamboo stick is not sharpened, it is just an ordinary walking stick.
However, when one has practiced martial arts to the level of Yaoqiang Qingli, picked leaves and flying flowers can all be used as weapons. What difference does it make whether the bamboo stick is sharpened or not
"You came all the way to block my way just to lend me one thousand taels of silver?" Qiao Mu ignored the tense atmosphere and expressed his deep emotion:
"I didn't expect that I'm so popular in Taotie City. I already have a fangirl who came to me to borrow money?"
Qiao Mu's eyes were filled with tears, and then he took out a booklet from his bosom:
"Borrowing money is borrowing money, but the rules still need to be followed."
"Don't worry, register your name."
"..." Qing Li hesitated for a moment, then revealed his real name:
"Qingli."
There is little point in concealing your identity or using a pseudonym.
There are only a few top-notch warriors in the entire Southwest State. It is impossible for them to keep popping up from cracks in the rocks like the Qiao family.
The demon spear Qing Li and the King of Feathers have two different identities.
After putting on the mask, she turned into the Feather King, commanded by the Immortal Sect.
Without the mask, she turned out to be Qing Li, the former disciple of the Spear Saint.
These two identities are not equivalent and are not known to the world. Only very few people know the truth.
Qiao Mu, who had just arrived, was obviously not one of the people who knew about it.
"Qing Li?" Qiao Mu was stunned for a moment, thinking of the villagers of Xishan Village who had died long ago without knowing it, and the phantom of Qing Li's clone on the top of the mountain in Xishan Village.
Qing Li at that time also left a deep impression on Qiao Mu.
The clone Qing Li's strength is obviously inferior to Wu Qiankun, but he is able to rely on his superb spear skills to fight with him and stalemate for a long time.
One of these two is ranked first on the Power List, and the other is ranked second on the God List. They can be said to be at loggerheads.
Although he was defeated by Wu Qiankun in the end, he was just an incarnation after all, so he could be said to have won honor in defeat.
"Demon Spear Qing Li is a half-demon with no internal energy. He relies solely on his strong body and spear skills. However, he is known as the 'Demon Spear' in the world. He is definitely not an ordinary person."
A slight desire to fight also arose in Qiao Mu's heart.
The demon spear Qing Li wanted to test his strength, and he also wanted to test the depth of the "strongest half-demon".
"If you want to compete with me, come on."
Qiao Mu reached out and pulled out a red tasseled spear from the storage bag. A thick and powerful white energy was already wrapped around the tip of the spear, flickering unsteadily.
The first move he made was the killer move from "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", a fire phoenix setting the prairie on fire.
Although Qiao Mu only read half of "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", he still made some progress in practicing it after fifty years.
A cold light appeared, a sharp explosion was heard in the air, and a thick and fiery aura burst out from the tip of the gun.
Before the tip of the gun arrived, the sharp wind pressure had already swept in.
In the blink of an eye, Qing Li, who should have reacted, was distracted for a moment and only turned his head to avoid the spear when it approached.
laugh!
The spear light broke through Qingli's hat, and a face under the hat was exposed to Qiaomu's sight.
The face of this person under the bamboo hat was as beautiful as jade, but his eyes were sharp and determined. He was exactly the same as the soul at the top of the West Mountain that day.
"Where did you learn the 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' Spear'?" Qing Li's eyes were like a sword unsheathed, revealing an undisguised edge. Even looking at each other made people feel cold.
But before Qiao Mu could respond, she said sadly:
"I understand... I think I learned it from the Zhao family in Xishan Village."
The sharpness in her eyes suddenly disappeared, and she suddenly lost her desire to fight.
She had actually heard a little about the fact that Zhao Hu used her name to spread the news about "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix".
But at that time, she was already the Feather King, and she was troubled and felt ashamed to face her former relatives and friends in Xishan Village.
Zhao Hu is different from her.
Although the son of the Spear Saint's martial arts skills were not superb or top-notch, his temperament was as upright as his father, the Spear Saint.
The reason for teaching the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" was, firstly, that he did not want this spear technique to be lost, and secondly, to find people with lofty ideals who were willing to quell the rebellion.
Since the Qiao Xi in front of him had already obtained the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" from Zhao Hu, he must have been recognized by the former.
In other words, you must have passed the test of character and ambition.
"Is this Qiao Xi also someone that my brother-in-law recognizes?"
This thought flashed through Qing Li's mind.
She believed that seeing is believing, so after witnessing Qiao Xi cheating in Taotie City, she took action in disappointment.
But she believed more in the character of her sworn brother Zhao Hu.
"My brother is a righteous man, better than me, the King of Feathers whose hands are stained with blood." Qing Li laughed at himself in his heart, but his eyes gradually became firm.
She learned the gun technique from the Gun Saint.
The Spear Saint is a human warrior, so the spear technique like "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" includes both physical force generation techniques and internal force generation techniques.
Although Qing Li is the favorite disciple of the Spear Saint, he suffers from the fact that he is half-demon. Although his body is strong, he has no internal strength.
If you only learn the technique of using physical force in the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" spear, you can only be considered to have learned half of it.
However, top human warriors like Qiao Mu are expected to inherit all the martial arts left by the Spear Saint and carry them forward... .
“In that case…” She waved the bamboo stick in her hand, using it as a gun.
"Fire Phoenix spreads across the prairie!"
This was the same move that Qiao Mu had just used, but the power of the move was different when it was performed by both parties.
Qiao Mu only learned the Bainiaochaofeng Spear to a small degree, but Qing Li has been practicing hard since childhood and has been immersed in the spear technique for his entire life.
At this moment, the gun in her hand went from extremely still to extremely moving.
When the gun was fired, there was no visible strong energy.
But as the spear was thrust out, Qing Li's blood and energy surged throughout his body.
At this moment, the blood in her body was rushing wildly, and her whole body felt like it was on fire. The bamboo stick in her hand seemed to burst out like blazing hot magma with this extremely fast stab, and even the tip of the stick was rubbing violently against the air, and sparks were flashing.
Quiet as a virgin, powerful as a volcano!
"Fire Phoenix spreads across the prairie." Qiao Mu also clenched the spear in his hand and stabbed with the same move.
When he stabbed, a surge of energy burst out from the tip of the spear, and the white energy brought with it a fierce wind pressure.
Gun tip to gun tip!
But there was a loud bang.
Under the powerful impact, the bamboo stick in Qing Li's hand instantly shattered into bamboo chips all over the sky, which scattered all over the ground.
Qing Li took a half step back, and the palm of his hand holding the bamboo stick cracked and bled.
"The Qiao family... As expected, there is no false reputation behind their reputation."
"Now that the 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' Spear' has fallen into your hands, I think it will not disgrace the reputation of the former Spear Saint." Qing Li pulled the corner of his mouth, his smile a little faint.
As a half-demon, she has no internal strength, so she strives to perfect her techniques in exerting force with her physical body, thus earning herself the name "Demon Spear".
In terms of physical force skills alone, she, the disciple of the Spear Saint, has surpassed her former master.
But has she now disgraced the title of Spear Saint
She lowered her head to glance at the wound on the base of her palm, and without saying anything more, she took out a silver note worth one thousand taels of silver from her bosom and turned away.
Qiumu didn't chase after him, but just looked a little strange.
This woman was full of fighting spirit when she first stood out, but for some reason she changed her mind.
The two sides fought with only one move, using Fire Phoenix to set the prairie ablaze against Fire Phoenix to set the prairie ablaze.
Qiao Mu's spearmanship was obviously not as good as Qing Li's. He just relied on the dual burst of physical strength and internal energy to defeat the opponent's cleverness with force.
Qing Li held a bamboo stick in her hand, but she had no internal strength. The stick could not withstand her burst of power and was shattered with one blow.
"This woman is so strange... She doesn't come here to compete with me, nor does she seem to be a quick exchange." Qiao Mu stroked his chin, thinking:
"It's almost like... ..Hey?"
Yes, hi.
Rather than saying that Demon Spear Qing Li was competing with him in a duel, it was more like using actual combat to let Qiao Mu personally experience the physical power of the killing move "Fire Phoenix Spreading Across the Prairie".
"What kind of female Bodhisattva is this? She came to my door to teach me some tricks, and gave me one thousand taels after the job was done. Could she really be my fangirl?"
Qiao Mu murmured in his heart, and then looked towards the ancestral hall behind him.
At the corner of the ancestral hall's wall, several figures quickly retracted their heads.
"Something big has happened!" The faces of the Luo family members flushed with excitement, and they shouted loudly, running around to tell each other:
"Demon Spear Qing Li, she also participated in Master Qiao's project and just invested one thousand taels of silver!"
"What? Demon Spear Qing Li? Even she was alarmed?"
In areas outside of Southwest Province, the Qiao family's reputation is naturally much more famous than that of Demon Spear Qingli.
But in the area around Linhe Prefecture, the names of the Spear Saint and Demon Spear Qingli are truly well-known, and they are counted as big figures in the entire Southwest Province.
The villagers of Taotie City did not understand how powerful the Qiao family was, but the name of the Demonic Spear Qingli alarmed them all.
"Great news! Yaoqiang Qingli just invested one thousand taels, which is an endorsement for the Taotie Gold project!"
"Even big shots like that have invested, where else can you find such a reliable business?"
"Where is Master Qiao? I want to bet another 500 taels!"
Only the merchant Luo Cheng was still sober and shouted:
"Hush... Keep your voice down!" Luo Cheng said in a deep voice, "Don't let the outsiders outside the ancestral hall hear it. Fat water should not flow to outsiders. The Taotie Gold Project is a routine to harvest ignorant people. Those who enter the market first eat meat, and those who enter the market later are eaten meat."
"If this news gets out, won't those people outside rush to invest money?"
"Brother Luo Cheng, you are really thoughtful. You are indeed a merchant who has been to Taotie City and has seen the world!"
Inside the ancestral hall, the Luo family members were talking among themselves, and the discussion became increasingly heated.
.
Another day passed.
When Qiao Mu came to the Luo family ancestral hall again, Luo Cheng and others were even more enthusiastic than last time.
Some even took out several hundred or a thousand taels of silver notes and put them into his arms.
"What are you doing?" Qiao Mu was shocked.
"Master Qiao, we have thought about it carefully and feel that this Taotie gold business is indeed promising, so we are prepared to invest more." Merchant Luo Cheng said with a beaming face.
These people surrounded Qiao Mu too enthusiastically and rushed to give him money, which made Qiao Mu a little overwhelmed.
No, have the leeks these days become smart? Why are they still competing to give him money? It's embarrassing.
"Have you really thought it through? These banknotes are not a small amount." Qiao Mu reminded.
"Haha, didn't Master Qiao say this to us before?" Merchant Luo Cheng said with emotion:
"How many chances does an average person have to make a fortune in his or her lifetime?"
"Now that we have encountered an opportunity, we must not let it go! If we miss such an opportunity, we will be punished by God."
"Master Qiao, please don't stop me. I really want to make money with Master Qiao."
As Qiao Mu listened, his heart gradually grew colder.
These Luo family members are actually not stupid people. They are engaged in the gold and stone business and make a living by defrauding people.
The reason why they are investing money so actively now is nothing more than wanting to curry favor with someone powerful enough. They think his scam is more novel and sophisticated, and they can let him, Master Luo, lead them to reap the benefits.
