Chapter 190 Retreat

Chapter 190 Retreat

He gritted his teeth and tried to unfollow her, but He Wenxue stopped him.

While others might not know, He Wenxue, Liu Henshui, and the Eight-Sided Formation Umbrella were acutely aware of the power of that palm strike.

Even though Qu Guan was the strongest among them, he was completely unable to withstand He Huai'an's palm strike. This means that He Huai'an's power was definitely far more than just that one palm strike.

The opponent never intended to kill Guan with that palm strike.

But if you unfollow and then still go, it's suicide.

Although He Wenxue didn't know what had happened in the middle, He Huai'an, who had no martial arts talent and made no progress in internal or external skills before, suddenly had such skill.

Lianchi was trained by him personally, and he knew all too well that there were almost no people in the current generation of martial arts who could match Lianchi's skills; Lianchi was already wary of He Huai'an, but still fell into his hands.

Although it was unbelievable, the scene before her eyes, and the incident at Lianchi, forced He Wenxue to re-evaluate the person opposite her.

But unfollowing is still a struggle.

"Old man!" He Wenxue knew that unfollowing would go crazy, and he couldn't handle it, so he could only shout sternly.

The person who unfollowed him said, "He killed Jinniang!"

He Wenxue was immediately stunned, looking at him with surprise as if she had unfollowed him, and then looked at He Huai'an opposite her.

Jinniang?

How could that be?

Jinniang died decades ago, but He Huai'an...

He Wenxue was also stunned. The palm strike she had just exchanged with Lao Qu, and Lianchi's superb skill, which one should He Huai'an at this age be able to do?

Although He Wenxue looked surprised, she seemed to have suddenly guessed something.

“You…” He Wenxue was surprised.

Eight-Sided Formation-Breaking Umbrella gritted its teeth: "Attack together!"

The Eight-Sided Formation-Breaking Umbrella didn't care about anything else.

"Amitabha." Liu Henshui couldn't stop him; the other party had already rushed forward. Fearing he was no match for him, Liu Henshui followed.

The sight of the Eight-Sided Broken Formation Umbrella had initially surprised everyone, but now the sudden appearance of the notorious bandit Liu Henshui left them somewhat bewildered.

Seeing that both the Eight-Sided Formation-Breaking Umbrella and Liu Henshui had rushed forward, He Wenxue, unable to stop the anger in her heart, broke free and joined the three-on-one situation.

Everyone around was stunned.

What kind of person would require three of the top ten martial arts masters in the world to deal with them together?!

But soon, He Wenxue joined too!

Four against one, but the opponent did not fall behind in the slightest.

And then there's Weng He!

This scene was so shocking that I believe everyone present at the martial arts tournament today was completely stunned!

Jiang Yutang asked in surprise, "How could he?"

Wang Sumo bit her lip and turned to look at Meng Huizhou: "Senior Meng, can they defeat Lian Xu?"

Wang Sumo knew He Huai'an's background very well, but he had not expected such a five-on-one situation. Perhaps the only person here who could guess He Huai'an's martial arts skills was Senior Meng from Meng Huizhou.

Meng Huizhou frowned; he had been watching very intently since the beginning.

Apart from Gui Jianchou, the other four are already the four pinnacles of martial arts in the current martial arts world.

But none of these four, plus Gui Jianchou, showed any sign of strain on He Huai'an; they handled the situation with ease. And after only a few moves, it was clear that Liu Henshui and the others were starting to slow down.

Meng Huizhou didn't speak, but Wang Sumo, Jiang Yutang, and Bai Cen could all understand the anxiety on his face.

Just then, "Liu Henshui!"

If the Eight-Sided Formation-Breaking Umbrella had come to the rescue, Liu Henshui would probably have already been hit; but when the Eight-Sided Formation-Breaking Umbrella went to save Liu Henshui, it was hit in the back and immediately coughed up blood.

In the previous five-on-one scenario, it seemed to be at least a draw, with none of the five falling behind. However, after the Eight-Sided Formation-Breaking Umbrella was struck by a palm and coughed up blood, the five began to fall behind one after another. In fact, Liu Henshui and the Eight-Sided Formation-Breaking Umbrella could barely cope, indicating a clear oversight.

Seeing He Huai'an's palm strike aimed precisely at He Wenxue, Lu Wenqu exclaimed, "Grand Uncle!"

But He Lingyun reacted quickly and immediately thrust his sword at He Huai'an's back.

He Huai'an glanced back briefly; originally, he hadn't intended to kill He Lingyun.

But He Lingyun had already decided to kill him.

Ah, blood is indeed thicker than water.

He Huai'an simply turned around and faced He Lingyun directly.

"Lingyun!" He Wenxue was startled and quickly withdrew her defenses to save He Lingyun. In that instant, He Huai'an sneered, knocking He Lingyun down with a single palm strike with his left hand, while his other palm landed heavily on He Wenxue.

He Wenxue collapsed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Everyone realized that He Huai'an had single-handedly taken on five senior figures in the martial arts world.

this……

Seeing that He Wenxue was also seriously injured under his palm, Qu Guan's eyes turned red, and he directly unleashed his full power with a palm strike that pierced through clouds and broke mountains, aiming at He Huai'an.

Eating fish, Fatty, Jinniang, and all the vibrant lives on Kunlun Mountain flashed through my mind.

This palm strike, with its nearly full power of the Cloud Piercing Mountain Breaking Hand, clashed with He Huai'an's palm force like thunder and fire, shaking the surrounding vegetation and causing explosions. Meng Huizhou stood in front of Bai Cen and Wang Sumo, preventing them from being injured by the aftershocks of these two powerful internal forces!

A slight ripple appeared in He Huai'an's eyes; it had come to this point as well.

Unfollowing him fueled her murderous intent, and she struck him with all her might.

This slap finally caused a slight ripple in He Huai'an's eyes, but after the ripple, there was relief...

"Ah Guan, I have done everything I could for you." He Huai'an's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he circulated his inner energy, creating a terrifying pressure that could be clearly felt around him.

"Old man!" He Wenxue cried out in despair.

This palm strike could take an old man's life!

He didn't care about unfollowing anyone and went straight for He Huai'an's palm strike.

"Grandpa!" Wang Sumo exclaimed in surprise!

As if he had heard this, the old man suddenly looked in this direction. Wang Sumo's tears suddenly welled up, and a trace of tenderness appeared in her hateful gaze.

Bai Cen clenched his fists, ready to rush out.

Meng Huizhou pressed him back with a palm strike and said softly, "Find the right opportunity and take the people away."

Bai Cen didn't react.

Meng Huizhou suddenly leaped into the arena.

Suddenly, a powerful, all-encompassing ninefold true energy, as if splitting the heavens and earth, forcefully blasted He Huai'an away!

The shock caused He Huai'an to retreat repeatedly!

"This is..." He Wenxue realized, "Ninefold True Qi?"

He Huai'an was so shocked by this ninth-level true energy that he had to retreat more than ten or twenty steps before he could stop.

Ninefold True Qi, Meng Hui Prefecture?

A hint of annoyance appeared on He Huai'an's face.

Meng Huizhou accomplished what several others failed to do.

Because the Ninefold True Qi is naturally designed to suppress the internal energy cultivation method of the "Longevity Scripture," every move and every stance is a countermeasure. Therefore, even though Meng Huizhou transferred nine layers of internal energy to Bai Cen to suppress the poison, the single layer of Ninefold True Qi that he unleashed at full power was enough to send He Huai'an flying more than ten or twenty steps away when he was unprepared.

Only then did He Huai'an's face show a hint of seriousness: "Meng Huizhou."

Meng Huizhou chuckled: "We meet again, junior nephew."

That's what he said, but Meng Huizhou made a gesture of retreat towards Bai Cen with his hands behind his back, which startled Bai Cen, but he also looked at He Zhen and He Ping beside him.

On Bazhenlou Road, there was a period of time spent with He Zhen and He Ping, and their simple understanding was easy to see.

Take the opportunity to leave.

"Yu Tang," Bai Cen said softly, "bring Su Mo along later."

Jiang Yutang wasn't stupid; she gave a soft "hmm."

"It's been many years, and you've improved even more." Meng Huizhou smiled. "But you still seem a little intimidated by the Ninefold True Qi."

Meng Huizhou's confident expression left people somewhat puzzled.

But if there is one person in the martial arts world that He Huai'an still fears, it can only be Meng Huizhou.

"You still have nine layers of true qi in your body?" He Huai'an chuckled, but he was actually uneasy, wondering what Meng Huizhou had done.

Only Meng Huizhou knew that he had transferred nine layers of his internal energy to Bai Cen back then, and kept one layer for himself.

Because he was skilled in medicine, he knew that nine layers were enough, and one layer was to be kept to save his life.

He later retired from the martial arts world, thinking he would never need it again, but here he was waiting for him.

Meng Huizhou lowered his head and smiled: "Junior nephew probably doesn't know that the Ninefold True Qi has the function of repair. So many years have passed, and it hasn't been completely restored, but it has been restored to about 60 or 70%. But that's not surprising, since junior nephew hasn't seen the original Ninefold True Qi and doesn't know much about it."

Meng Huizhou defrauded him.

There was no repair involved, but He Huai'an was cautious and prudent. He wouldn't easily step forward if he had even the slightest doubt, and he would be right about the outcome.

As the two were talking, Wang Sumo looked at the old man.

With a simple exchange of glances and gestures, the old man understood, and Master He also understood, so they left first!

Meng Huizhou was just bluffing; leaving first would give him a chance to make further plans.

Although they didn't know He Huai'an's background, none of them could handle his martial arts skills. Staying here would only be a pointless sacrifice, so they needed to think things through carefully.

He Huai'an's gaze faltered slightly; he knew that Meng Huizhou was testing him.

However, he had never seen Luo Song's Ninefold True Qi and did not know whether the Ninefold True Qi had the ability to repair. All these impossibilities were not necessarily true for Luo Song.

He is someone who can even comprehend the "Longevity Classic".

If the Ninefold True Qi has the ability to repair itself, then Meng Huizhou is the only person in the world who still possesses the Ninefold True Qi.

He wants to keep him.

That's why He Huai'an hesitated, waiting to see what he was going to do.

"Hasn't Junior Nephew always coveted the Ninefold True Qi? Then let's take a good look today." After saying this, Meng Huizhou leaped up. He Huai'an glanced sideways and indeed felt the suppression and repulsion of the Longevity Scripture on Meng Huizhou's body by the Ninefold True Qi.

"Bai Cen!" Meng Huizhou shouted.

Bai Cen clenched his fists. "Let's go!"

At that very moment, what Meng Huizhou released from his palm was not the Ninefold True Qi, but rather clusters of colorful, vibrant smoke.

Lu Wenqu realized that the smoke contained a muscle-relaxing powder that could immobilize people.

Lu Wenqu covered his mouth and nose and instantly stepped forward to lift He Lingyun up.

At the place where He Wenxue and He Zhen and He Ping unfollowed each other, they took the opportunity to help Liu Henshui and the Eight-Sided Breaking Umbrella up.

He Zhen and Qin Feng had a deep understanding of each other, and almost instantly, Qin Feng understood He Zhen's gaze and pulled the Lingxiao Sect leader away together.

The surrounding area was in chaos until the smoke had mostly dissipated.

The group of people who had withdrawn from the group and He Wenxue had long since disappeared. Only Meng Huizhou was left when He Huai'an held his shoulder down tightly as he tried to leave.

Even after the smoke cleared, Meng Huizhou was still unable to escape from He Huai'an's grasp.

*

The group forced their way out of the manor. There were countless horses outside the manor. They leaped onto their horses and galloped away at lightning speed.

If the muscle-relaxing powder hadn't been prepared beforehand, the person would have been too weak to even catch up after inhaling it. Even if He Huai'an had caught up, with so many people on horseback and the horses moving so fast, they wouldn't all have fallen into his hands.

After running for about half an hour, they retreated to a valley.

Liu Henshui fell to the ground from his horse first.

"Liu Henshui!" The Eight-Sided Formation-Breaking Umbrella stopped, and everyone else stopped as well.

It was during this stop, because Wang Sumo wasn't very good at riding horses, that Bai Cen had to stay with Wang Sumo. So, he was on high alert and wary of the pursuers behind him, only to suddenly realize that his senior brother wasn't there.

Bai Cen panicked: "Uncle-Master?"

"Master Uncle?"

Everyone then looked around and realized that Yu'an Jushi Meng Huizhou had not come along!

Menghui Prefecture has fallen into the hands of He Huai'an!

Bai Cen's eyes welled up with tears. "Su Mo."

Jiang Yutang understood and reached out to help Wang Sumo dismount. Bai Cen was about to turn around when He Wenxue pulled on the reins: "Bai Cen!"

Going back now would be tantamount to suicide!

"What exactly is going on with He Huai'an?" The Eight-Sided Broken Formation Umbrella was both surprised and annoyed.

He Wenxue took a deep breath and said to Bai Cen, "Let's discuss this further."

Most of the people here were completely confused. Wang Sumo looked at Bai Cen, then at everyone else: "Let me explain..."
