Chapter 54 Begins "Everything is just as we expected, you can also...
Qin Li looked at the person who was provoking her below, and frowned deeply.
Judging from his appearance and even his spirit, it was undoubtedly Zhao Qingxun, but this man's flamboyant temperament and violent aura had nothing in common with Zhao Qingxun.
There was also a big difference in their attire. Unlike Zhao Qingxun who always wore the disciple's uniform, her whole body was bright red, as eye-catching and dazzling as flames.
If Zhao Qingxun in the sect is the useful "weapon" specially trained by them, then this person is the "sharp blade" that can cut them at any time.
She didn't say anything, but Zhao Chaoan kept chattering. She had long been disgusted with the sanctimonious people of the Liuyun Sect, and she took the opportunity to attack them. "Why are you quiet? Do you realize you're really bored?"
"Who are you?" Qin Li stared at Zhao Chaoan, trying to find any flaws in her face, but no matter how she looked, it looked like her original face.
What on earth was going on? Could it be that the people from Wind Chasing City were up to something?
Zhao Chaoan snorted coldly, took the sword thrown by Jiang Liuyan, and slashed at it with all his swords: "Who am I? What's it to you? Mind your own business!"
This move of "Ten Thousand Swords" made Qin Li even more confused. How could she not recognize this move? Her deceased Taoist partner had taught Zhao Qingxun this very same move.
Did he really surrender to the enemy?
While Qin Li was distracted, Zhao Chaoan's attacks rained down like rain. Even though the old man next to him reacted in time, some sword beams still pierced Qin Li.
The old ancestor also frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Li's carelessness: "Focus, don't be distracted."
"It's my fault. I just didn't expect who that guy is." Qin Li quickly used his spiritual power to heal his wounds and stared at Zhao Chaoan to guard against her next step.
The old ancestor shook his head, unconcerned. "We'll interrogate her properly once we catch her. You seem very familiar with her, so you'll be the one to deal with her."
Qin Li nodded, looked at Zhao Chaoan rushing over, and also went to meet him. The two forces collided with each other, causing a huge impact.
With just this one test, Qin Li was certain that this person was definitely not Zhao Qingxun. She wasn't practicing the Xuanmen orthodox method at all! Her cultivation level was even not lower than his own. She had used all her strength just now, but she didn't get much benefit.
Zhao Chaoan also retracted his previous carelessness, his expression became more serious, and he slashed out with a few more sword moves.
Qin Li was able to become the sect leader after that man's death, which shows that he did have some skills.
In the blink of an eye, the two fought for several rounds, but neither of them had the upper hand after getting serious. The more they fought, the more frightened Qin Li became.
Her attacks were similar to Zhao Qingxun's, but they were more murderous and had more depth. This made her wonder if Zhao Qingxun would become like this when he became more successful.
What's more, during this period of time, she could already see that Zhao Qingxun had other ideas, and even started to play some tricks behind her back.
This is not a good sign. I need to prepare when I get back.
Zhao Chaoan saw through her thoughts. She knew these hypocritical guys too well. She guessed that they would start to be wary and take action against Zhao Qingxun in the future - or they had already started.
Even without their presence, they wouldn't let Zhao Qingxun go. They didn't need a weapon that had begun to think for itself.
As always, it's disgusting.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhao Chaoan stabbed at the magic weapon under Qin Li's seat. After successfully knocking it down, he followed up with another attack, aiming straight for her throat.
Qin Li protected his vital points while taking advantage of Zhao Chaoan's defenseless opportunity to counterattack.
The sword beams crossed, and the two men took a step back at the same time.
Qin Li waved her hand, scattering the blood on her arm to the side, and stared at Zhao Chaoan, but the scene she least wanted to see still appeared:
There was no blood in the wound, and the wound also had a special texture.
The answer in her heart was about to come out, and she almost gritted her teeth and said the answer: "Puppet body."
What's going on? Why are there still puppet bodies? Shouldn't the family that originally created the puppet bodies have been destroyed? Why are the puppet bodies appearing again?
The spirit of heaven clearly told them that it was over.
Zhao Chaoan saw the fear she was hiding: "You know about puppet bodies, and you know a lot about them."
Qin Li regained his composure and shook his head slightly to deny it: "You're overthinking it. I just heard about it."
"Ha, don't I know you? If you just heard it, why are you panicking?" Zhao Chaoan chuckled and said nothing more. He turned around and asked Yun Xiangwan, and she would know what happened.
She continued to attack, and from the beginning till now, her strength showed no sign of running out, but instead it kept increasing.
What kind of weird technique is this?
Qin Li continued to deal with Zhao Chaoan's attacks while observing the situation on the ancestor's side. They didn't come here to wipe out the enemy, but just to take them away. There was no need to fight to the death. Gradually, she began to have some thoughts of retreating.
Zhao Chaoan noticed her intention to retreat and his attack became more fierce, forcing Qin Li to respond with all her strength.
And the ancestor didn't get much benefit either.
They had originally calculated that the leader of Tianyan Sect had returned, and Zhuifeng City should have only one person who could stand up to the pressure, but they never expected that accidents would happen so frequently.
First, there was the person who looked like a disciple from the same sect, who was able to fight Qin Li to a draw, and then there was this Mu.
There was no information about this person in the news they received, and they didn't expect that this person's strength was almost the same as the city lord.
Mu held an Emei spear in one hand, quickly dodged the attack and thrust forward, but was blocked by the ancestor and then jumped back to Jiang Liuyan.
"Master, should we kill or capture this man?" She had almost tested the man's strength. He looked strong but a little weak.
Jiang Liuyan had a rough idea in his mind, and with a gloomy expression, he said, "Kill."
There's no need to arrest this person; if possible, kill him. Arresting him might not yield any information, but could lead to more trouble.
She also knew this person. When Ying Bu Ran was born, it was she who led people to kill people. Her lover was killed by this person.
After confirming the instructions, Mu shot out again like an arrow from a bow. Jiang Liuyan followed closely behind, gripping the big knife tightly, and slashed down with one blow when Mu was restraining the ancestor.
The moment the knife fell, it seemed as if the surrounding space fell into silence and death, carrying endless murderous intent.
Mu changed from a side attack to a frontal attack to interfere with the ancestor's sight, and disappeared in a flash when the knife was about to fall.
The ancestor naturally also noticed the attack, and she sneered and tried to dodge it, but then she was unable to move, as if she was tied up by someone. When she lowered her head, she seemed to feel a black solid "qi" wrapped around her feet.
"Edgeless Blade Technique, third move, void."
When the knife fell, it felt as if it didn't exist, as if it had dissipated into thin air. Before the ancestor could even begin to wonder, a sharp pain shot through his chest and shoulders. A huge gash ran diagonally down from his left shoulder, almost penetrating his entire upper body.
What happened to this blow? She suddenly felt as if all her strength had been taken away.
Just when he was about to fall, Mu was about to finish him off. Qin Li, who realized something was wrong, immediately came over to help the ancestor. She raised her arm to knock Mu away, gritted her teeth, and crushed a bead on her body.
The pressure from the sky instantly enveloped the entire venue. Mu quickly retreated to Jiang Liuyan to protect her. Taking this opportunity, Qin Li helped the ancestor retreat quickly.
"Everyone retreat!"
This time, one of her Dzi beads was directly destroyed. After returning, she will definitely ask this ancestor to return it.
Zhao Chaoan withstood the pressure, but did not stop them from leaving. After the people from Liuyun Sect left in a panic, she looked at Mu and Jiang Liuyan who was being supported: "How are you guys?"
"Nothing, just a little tired." Jiang Liuyan shook her head and looked at the direction they left, her eyes darkening a little. "It's a pity that we still didn't kill that person."
Zhao Chaoan waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to go back and those who needed to stand guard. Then he looked at Jiang Liuyan and asked, "Anyone have a grudge?"
"She was the one who killed Ah Ran's other mother, and she was the one who caused our separation." Jiang Liuyan said. Even after so many years, there was still a strong hatred in her heart.
Zhao Chaoan also became angry when he heard this. He put his hands on his hips and said, "Tsk, I should have given her another blow. Even though she won't survive, killing her with my own hands isn't enough to vent my anger."
Jiang Liuyan glanced at Zhao Chaoan. Cracks had begun to appear on her body, which meant that there was something wrong with her body and it urgently needed repair.
If he attacked with such a sword under such pressure, this puppet body would probably collapse: "It's okay, as long as she can't survive, your body needs maintenance, let's go back."
Zhao Chaoan nodded, and together with Mu, they supported Jiang Liuyan. As they returned to the city, they saw Si Nuo approaching them, holding someone down. "Report to the City Lord, this person opened the back door to let people from the Liuyun Sect in, which led to the disappearance of the young city lord, Qian Qiuxin, and Zhao Qingxun."
Just as they had expected, the plan could begin. Jiang Liuyan looked at Mu, who nodded. He handed Jiang Liuyan to Zhao Chaoan for support and walked over to the pinned person. "Leave it to me. I'll interrogate her. You go and count the remaining casualties."
Sino nodded and left: "Yes."
After seeing that everyone had left, Jiang Liuyan said to Zhao Chaoan, "Everything is as we expected. You can act now. Don't worry about me."
"This is for you. Go find Yun Xiangwan and repair your body before you leave."
Zhao Chaoan took the thing Jiang Liuyan handed over. It was the identity card that she had secretly given her before, which she had obtained from the elder of Jiuyou Sect. It seemed that it had been modified.
She held her ID card in her hand and looked at Jiang Liuyan a little worriedly: "Okay, can you do it now?"
"No problem, I've recovered a little, go ahead."
Zhao Chaoan nodded, released her hand, and confirmed that Jiang Liuyan could indeed walk on her own. Then he waved goodbye to her with confidence: "Okay, then I'll be leaving too."
