Cui Changqing was extremely embarrassed, his face was burning. He was one of the four great swordsmen in Jiangnan, he could do bad things, but it was too embarrassing to say the wrong thing.
Including Tao Zhengren and Pei Tianyuan, both of them were embarrassed for Cui Changqing. As one of the four great swordsmen in Jiangnan, Cui Changqing was so embarrassed at the critical moment that he made all the four great swordsmen lose face.
However, there was something strange about the two of them. Cui Changqing was very cunning, and had never revealed a flaw in his interactions with them over the years.
Why are you so flustered today
It’s not that Cui Changqing is incompetent, it’s that Gao Xuan and the others came too quickly and Cui Changqing was completely unprepared.
In fact, Pei Tianyuan and Tao Zhengren rode on red-blooded horses and took another route under the leadership of Gao Xuan.
The Red Blood Horse had very strong legs. Although Gao Xuan and his companions took a long detour, they arrived one step earlier than Cui Changqing.
This was something Cui Changqing could never have imagined.
On the other hand, Gao Xuan's spiritual power was strong. The invisible spiritual pressure had actually destroyed Cui Changqing's mind. In a panic, he said the wrong thing.
After saying this, Cui Changqing knew that it was meaningless to defend himself. He let out a long sigh and said, "My two brothers, I am forced to do this. Feihuamen has used something against me to threaten me. If I don't obey, my reputation will be ruined and I will never be able to survive again..."
"I don't know how many beauties the Feihua Sect kidnapped were killed by you."
Gao Xuan sneered and said, "You are still forced to do so. What do those girls who died tragically say? What do the families of those girls who died tragically say?"
He said calmly: "If you can clear your name, there will be no more evil people in the world."
Tao Zhengren and Pei Tianyuan wanted to plead for mercy, but after hearing what Gao Xuan said, they were too embarrassed to speak.
The Feihua Sect's actions were so vicious that Cui Changqing couldn't explain it no matter how hard he tried.
After all, they both had a righteous heart and a bottom line. Although they wanted to take care of Cui Changqing, they couldn't go too far.
This is the chivalrous way. If everyone acts recklessly, there is no chivalrous way. Without this righteous spirit, their sects will lose the foundation of their existence.
Gao Xuan did not give Cui Changqing a chance. He said, "If you commit suicide by slashing your sword, even if you die in Feihua Sect, you can still maintain a good reputation after death."
Cui Changqing tightened his grip on the sword. He definitely didn't want to commit suicide. But he was no match for Gao Xuan alone, and with Tao Zhengren and Pei Tianyuan around, there was no chance of luck.
He drew his sword and placed it across his neck, but he just couldn't bring himself to commit suicide.
After hesitating for a moment, Cui Changqing suddenly raised his hand and shot a large number of poisonous needles at Gao Xuan.
These poison needles are all shot out from syringes on the wrist, and the attack is concealed and extremely fast.
Gao Xuan didn't dodge at all. He flicked his long sleeves and released a wall of internal energy. Dozens of poisonous needles that were shot at him were forced back at a faster speed by his internal energy.
Just as Cui Changqing was about to draw his sword and attack, dozens of poisonous needles shot towards him, leaving dozens of piercing holes on his face and body.
He screamed and fell to the ground dead on the spot.
The two men attacked very quickly. From the moment Cui Changqing launched the sneak attack to the moment he fell to the ground and died, it only took the blink of an eye.
Pei Tianyuan originally wanted to stop it, but before he could say anything, Cui Changqing turned into a corpse.
Pei Tianyuan didn't pay attention to Cui Changqing's body. He looked straight at Gao Xuan with a shocked face: "Innate Gangqi?!"
Tao Zhengren also woke up. Gao Xuanqi was like a wall, reflecting back all the poisonous needles like powerful crossbows. Isn't this the legendary innate Gangqi
When the internal strength reaches this level, the acquired internal strength turns into endless innate qi. It is immune to all poisons, water and fire, and swords and spears.
Tao Zhengren still couldn't believe it. Gao Xuan's internal strength was only second-rate a few days ago. Even if he had comprehended the Hundred Changes of Fish and Dragon, it wouldn't be so exaggerated, right
Gao Xuan nodded: "Master Pei has a good vision, it is the Gang Qi."
He then said to Tao Zhengren, who was in shock, "I have to thank Master Tao for his help. I was lucky enough to open up my Ren and Du meridians."
Gao Xuan said it lightly, and Pei Tianyuan and Tao Zhengren were speechless.
There are many masters in the world, but there are no more than five strong ones who have truly cultivated the innate qi.
How old was Gao Xuancai when he opened up his Ren and Du meridians, cultivated his innate Qi, and became a martial arts master! This kind of achievement is truly unprecedented and unparalleled.
Tao Zhengren and Pei Tianyuan were shocked, then disappointed. Others became grandmasters in their early twenties, while they were only at the first-rate level after living for forty or fifty years. The gap was too big.
When they looked at Cui Changqing's body again, they felt that he was really pitiful.
To plot against a martial arts master is to seek one's own death... and even to die in a somewhat ridiculous way. It would be better to just slash one's own throat with a sword. At least one's death would be more heroic.
Gao Xuan didn't have time to express his feelings to the two. He said, "Go contact people to prepare for the aftermath. I'm going to destroy Feihua Sect."
Tao Zhengren and Pei Tianyuan had no objection to this division of labor.
Not to mention just one Feihua Sect, even ten Feihua Sects could not stop a martial arts grandmaster.
Gao Xuan flicked his sleeves and came to the gate of Mingyue Villa.
At this time, he did not need to hide his identity, he walked with his feet an inch off the ground. It was this one inch of distance that made him stand at the pinnacle of martial arts, and no one in the world could compete with him.
There were two guards at the gate of Mingyue Villa. When the day dawned, the two were also hiding in the gatehouse in a daze. When they saw someone coming, they were still a little confused.
A man asked with a bad look on his face, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
Mingyue Villa is far away from the city, and it hides shameful secrets. No outsiders are allowed to approach.
Even the farmers and fishermen near Mingyue Villa were members of Feihua Sect. Any stranger entering this area would arouse the Feihua Sect's vigilance.
In fact, Feihua Sect and other gangs such as Bao Gai Gang have close cooperation, including many local officials who have been bribed by Feihua Sect.
Although the Feihua Sect had a very bad reputation in the underworld, it ran a highly profitable business and had money, so naturally it had great power.
Especially the current sect leader, Han Yumei. Although her name sounds a bit vulgar, her scheming and tactics are extremely brilliant.
Under her leadership, Feihua Sect has developed rapidly in the past twenty years and its influence has greatly increased.
Even famous knights like Cui Changqing were dragged into the water by her. Even big sects like Kongtong Sect also cooperated closely with Feihua Sect.
Through means such as corruption of money and temptation of beauty, Feihuamen continued to expand outward and had great influence at all levels.
The major sects in the martial arts world are self-righteous and are completely unaware of the situation.
For example, major sects like Wudang and Shaolin all believe that martial arts is the foundation of the sect, but they don't know how to manage it.
That is to say, they are able to hold on because of the faction's great influence, sufficient financial resources and sufficient number of disciples.
In Gao Xuan's opinion, these sects have actually taken the wrong path.
In order for a sect to develop, first it must have strong fists, and second it must have money. Running a sect is like doing business.
Unfortunately, most people don’t understand this truth.
Han Yumei, on the other hand, was a business genius. She quickly understood that the first thing to do was to have money.
Relying on her unscrupulous business methods, Han Yumei has made countless lucrative money along the way.
If Han Yumei's martial arts skills were higher and she had more ambition, it would be possible for her to become the leader of the martial arts world.
However, all this ends today.
Gao Xuan ignored the questioning of the two guards. He flicked his fingers and two poisonous needles shot out like crossbows and shot into the eyes of the two guards.
The rotating steel needle naturally rolls after entering the brain tissue, crushing the brain into tofu dregs.
The two guards were unable to react and were killed on the spot.
Gao Xuan flicked his long sleeves and his innate energy hit the door.
The two red doors facing each other were made of solid wood and covered with iron sheets and copper buttons, which were very impressive and heavy.
Most people would just use a sledgehammer to hit it, and at most they would just make a dent in the door.
The innate energy that Gao Xuan stimulated was extremely powerful, and the two doors collapsed into thousands of pieces.
The huge roar also woke up everyone in the villa.
There are nearly a thousand people in Mingyue Villa. Even the old maids who work have practiced and dare to kill people with poison needles.
Not to mention the well-trained guards, more than a hundred of them, who were even equipped with full sets of armor and armed with strong bows and crossbows.
It was fine for martial artists to hold swords and guns, but armor, strong bows, and hard crossbows were taboos. The imperial court would never allow private ownership.
The major martial arts sects never wore armor. It was not because they did not understand the protective function of armor, but because the imperial court prohibited it.
If you go out wearing armor, you will immediately be surrounded and hunted down by the government.
The sudden loud noise also startled Han Yumei, who lived in the center of the villa, several miles away from the gate.
It was just that Gao Xuan's innate energy was so overbearing that the blast that smashed the door was like the roar of a heavy artillery. It was just dawn, and the whole villa was very quiet. The huge roar was even more piercing.
Han Yumei was practicing. She suddenly woke up and asked everyone around her, "What happened?"
A female guard outside shouted, "Master, I don't know what happened. I have sent someone to check it out."
Han Yumei shook her head and said, "The situation is not right. Order the armored team to prepare."
The Ironclad Team was an elite team she trained based on the military. They were all tall and strong men, who practiced hard skills such as Shaolin Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt. They were strong and sturdy, wearing armor and carrying guns. Although they looked a little slow, their combat effectiveness was amazing.
The famous knights and masters were nothing in front of the Iron Armor Team. Even if they had amazing internal strength, it was difficult to hurt people through the iron armor. Not to mention that the Iron Armor Team was strong and not afraid of these tricks.
They also had strong bows and crossbows in their hands, and would shoot at anyone who was agile. Any expert would die on the spot.
Although this team only had more than 60 people, Han Yumei had put a lot of effort into it. She was confident that with such a powerful force, any expert who came in would have only one way to die.
Han Yumei put on her clothes, put on the golden soft armor, picked up the Ziwei sword, and then went out.
Someone outside just happened to run back in panic to report: "Master, someone has come to kill us. They have already reached Zhengqi Hall."
Zhengqitang is the center of Mingyue Villa, not far from where Han Yumei lives.
Han Yumei frowned slightly: "Why are you panicking? How many people are there on the other side? Where did they come from?"
The man managed to calm down and said, "It's just one person. I think that person is Gao Xuan, a disciple of our sect."
"What?"
Han Yumei was anxious now, "Gao Xuan? Did you see it wrong?"
The person was not sure either. She hesitated and said, "He looks exactly like Gao Xuan. But his martial arts skills are so great that I don't know how many times better than Gao Xuan."
Thinking of the other party's martial arts, the man's face was filled with fear.
She didn't actually see what martial arts Gao Xuan used, but when a group of experts went to intercept him, they heard sharp screams, and everyone who went up was killed. No one could take a single move in front of the other party.
Now that I think about it, the other party should have used hidden weapons such as steel needles.
She hastily added, "The opponent's hidden weapon is very powerful."
Han Yumei said with a straight face: "Call the Armored Team. I want to see who they are."
When Gao Xuan passed through the Zhengqi Hall, he saw a group of people standing in the open field in front of him. They were wearing full sets of iron armor, holding swords or guns. There was even a group of crossbowmen next to them.
This setting is a bit luxurious...
Gao Xuan had been in Mingyue Villa for so long that he knew about the Ironclad Team. However, these details had long been buried deep in his memory. He only recalled them when he saw them.
Across the two teams, Gao Xuan saw Han Yumei standing in the corridor at the back watching the battle.
This woman is middle-aged, and because she takes good care of herself, she still has some beauty. In fact, she is already over 50 years old.
She was actually wearing a piece of gold-thread soft armor on her upper body, holding a sword in her hand, and looked murderous.
Gao Xuan smiled at Han Yumei: "Old Han, we meet again."
Han Yumei frowned slightly. The other person's appearance and voice were very familiar, but his extraordinary demeanor did not look like Gao Xuan at all.
She asked with some confusion: "Are you Gao Xuan?"
"That's right."
Gao Xuan said slowly: "You are old, but your eyesight is still pretty good."
Han Yumei flew into a rage: "I raised you, taught you how to read and learn martial arts, and this is how you repay me?"
"How else do you want to repay me? Skin you and burn you to death? That's too inhumane. It's not my style."
Gao Xuan said calmly: "No matter how many bad things you do, as long as you pay for it with your life, it will be fine."
"kill him."
Han Yumei was not interested in talking to Gao Xuan. She waved her hand and gave the order to attack.
The armored team did not move, and the archers and crossbowmen all opened their bows and shot arrows. The bows were strong, and the crossbows were hard.
Dozens of people fired arrows together, and the formation was quite large. At this distance, even heavy armor could be penetrated.
To everyone's surprise, Gao Xuan neither dodged nor waved his weapon to block. He just stood there quietly, motionless.
Dozens of long arrows shot out with sharp whistles, and broke into pieces three feet in front of Gao Xuan. It was as if there was an invisible iron wall in front of Gao Xuan.
This scene was so shocking that everyone present was stunned.
Many people have heard of Xiantian Gangqi, but no one has ever seen it. For a moment, they couldn't think of Xiantian Gangqi.
In their eyes, Gao Xuan is simply a god.
The armored team and the crossbow team were all shocked. But Han Yumei was not. She recognized that it was innate energy and turned around and left without hesitation.
Han Yumei's vision and decision-making are first-rate in making Feihuamen bigger and bigger.
Gao Xuan was not in a hurry to chase Han Yumei. The Armored Team and the Crossbow Team were Han Yumei's confidants. They had been copying her special medicines for years and only obeyed the orders of Han Yumei. They had almost lost their humanity.
These people cannot be kept.
Gao Xuan took only one step and was in front of the armored team. Many armored team warriors reacted and instinctively raised their guns to stab.
Gao Xuan didn't dodge at all, and let the spear pierce the protective qi. The spear was directly knocked away by the protective qi.
His hands within his long sleeves continuously shot out poison needles, each of which accurately penetrated the gaps in his visor and pierced through the enemy's eyes and head.
Amid the whistling sounds of the poisonous needles, the members of the Armored Team fell down in groups.
The crossbow team behind them saw that the situation was not good and fled in all directions. Gao Xuan did not chase them either. The steel needles were more powerful than the crossbows under the force of his fingers. Within a hundred steps, they could even penetrate iron armor.
When the internal strength reaches this level, it has become extraordinary and indestructible.
When Gao Xuan reached the door of the corridor, the ground was already covered with corpses. All members of the armored team and the crossbow team were wiped out.
Han Yumei had already run away, but it didn't matter. Gao Xuan could hear Han Yumei's somewhat rapid breathing and the subtle sound of her sleeves tearing through the air. In the closed passage, these sounds were extremely low.
But Gao Xuan could hear it, and locked onto Han Yumei's location through a subtle mental movement. The woman entered the escape tunnel.
Gao Xuan was not in a hurry to chase Han Yumei. He wandered around the villa and killed any expert he saw with one shot.
After he cleaned the villa, he left Mingyue Villa and ran straight to the river.
Han Yumei stood on the small boat and saw a green shadow flying towards her from afar. Its posture was graceful but as fast as a bird.
She yelled to her men: "That man is chasing us, row the boat quickly..."
Both of them have profound internal strength. When they paddled at the same time, the boat glided forward like an arrow through the water.
When Gao Xuan arrived at the shore, the boat was already several dozen feet away. The river was surging, and there were no boats around. Even though the opponent had superb martial arts, he couldn't catch up. Han Yumei also breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Tao Zhengren, Pei Tianyuan and a group of experts came over from the shore. They also saw Gao Xuan and the small boat sailing in the middle of the river.
Although none of these people knew Han Yumei, they could tell from Gao Xuan's expression that the person he was chasing was on the boat.
Everyone looked at the boat and sighed, the distance was too far. Even if they had strong bows and crossbows, they would not pose any threat if they were shot dozens of feet away.
Time was running out, and there was no time to mobilize more boats. The waterways on the Yangtze River were dense and complex, and if a small boat turned into a waterway halfway, it would be difficult to find it again.
Everyone was sighing with admiration when they saw Gao Xuan let out a low whistle, and then he rose into the sky like a rainbow, flying across the sky for dozens of feet, and in the blink of an eye he was above the boat.
Such lightness skill, like an immortal flying with the wind, is simply a peerless magical power, beyond human power. Many masters were dumbfounded and could not help themselves.
Han Yumei and others on the boat were even more terrified. She reacted quickly and knelt at the bow of the boat to beg for mercy and life.
Gao Xuan didn't say anything at all, but just flicked his long sleeves to activate his innate internal energy.
Han Yumei, the other two masters, and the entire boat, were all shattered by the overwhelming innate energy.
Blood and countless wood chips flew everywhere, and a huge deep pit was blasted out on the surface of the river.
The oppressed water surface burst into huge waves over ten feet high with a huge momentum.
As the waves rolled in, Gao Xuan had already come to Tao Zhengren and the others. He smiled at Tao Zhengren and said, "I'll have to trouble Mr. Tao to take the others to properly handle the aftermath."
Tao Zhengren and Pei Tianyuan both hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "We will do our best to live up to your trust."
Gao Xuanyi bowed and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Everyone hurriedly returned the greeting, all bowing with their hands clasped in a humble manner. The man before them was a martial arts grandmaster, with unparalleled power, so how could they not respect him
Gao Xuan laughed: "This matter is over, I will leave now. Everyone, see you in the rivers and lakes..."
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Gao Xuan brushed his sleeves and walked on the water, reciting aloud: "Walking in a green shirt with a sword, young but not worrying. Singing a farewell song, we spend this autumn together in the rivers and lakes..."
The heroes standing on the shore watched the green figure walk away on the waves, all with complicated expressions.
Someone sighed, "When the work is done, he will leave, hiding his identity and name. He is truly an immortal!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Gao Xuan's demeanor as a peerless strong man was truly convincing.
Since then, Tao Zhengren and others have never seen Gao Xuan again. But they can always hear various rumors about the Green-robed Martial Saint in the martial arts world...
