“Gao Minxiong, Gao Hua, you two brothers left Xiagu County three years ago. How come you are with Liu Sanjiang, a murderer?”
After hesitating for a moment, Li Juhong suddenly remembered something and said loudly.
Gao Minxiong and Gao Hua were once inner disciples of the Qingfeng Gang, but they left the gang due to a dispute over the division of spoils during a mission.
Three years ago, the Gao brothers quietly left Xiagu County, and Li Juhong never saw them again. Who would have thought that they would get involved with Liu Sanjiang in this small courtyard?
"Senior Brother Li, we haven't seen each other for three years. Why don't you even ask how we've been?"
As he spoke, Gao Minxiong saw Li Juxiong's cold smile and continued, "
Senior Brother Li, I know you're curious about why I'm here.
For the past three years, my brother and I have been working within the canyon county, and we have been doing things for the Third Elder.
Last night, the Third Elder sent a letter asking us to meet him here today, saying there was an operation we needed to participate in ahead of schedule.
"You're actually the Third Elder's people?"
Li Juhong's expression changed slightly, showing some surprise.
Third Elder Chen Wuque is one of the high-ranking figures in the Qingfeng Gang. In recent years, while the gang leader has been in seclusion for cultivation, the Third Elder has been secretly building his own faction, leading to infighting among the Qingfeng Gang disciples.
Now, the Third Elder has gone even further, secretly sending people to interfere in the areas controlled by the First Elder, resulting in the Third Elder's faction growing in number and power.
At the same time, it made him realize that Liu Sanjiang was very likely also one of the Third Elder's men.
"I never expected that Liu Sanjiang was actually one of the Third Elder's men. He must have been acting on the Third Elder's orders to secretly kill people from our First Elder's faction."
Suddenly, an inner disciple not far from Lin Xiaofei whispered something.
"Liu Sanjiang, since you haven't denied it, that makes things easier."
"Today, if you simply surrender and clean your throat, I'll send you to your death with one stroke. That way, I'll avoid skinning you alive and spare you some pain."
Xiong Ruyun let out a cold shout, holding a long sword, ready to attack at any moment.
"Haha, Deputy Hall Master Xiong, don't forget that although I look young, I also possess the strength of a third-rate cultivator. With just you and Hall Master Li, you can't kill me in a short time."
Liu Sanjiang laughed heartily, emanating a powerful aura, and said:
"Two hall masters, I have more good news for you. The Third Elder will be here soon. What can you do to me then?"
"Liu Sanjiang, in my eyes, you are just a young man with little experience."
Do you think I'm afraid just because the Third Elder is here?
Moreover, before the Third Elder arrived, the two of us, including Hall Master Li, could have killed you together.
Xiong Ruyun was startled. He was really afraid that the Third Elder would arrive soon, and then he wouldn't be able to kill Liu Sanjiang. He quickly pretended to say something.
Without further hesitation, he took a step forward and leaped forward like a cheetah in flight.
At the same time, he raised his long sword and swung it twice quickly. The blade flashed a few times in the darkness before he slashed forward.
"Vice Hall Master Xiong, are you rushing up here in such a hurry because you're afraid of the Third Elder's arrival?"
Liu San sneered, drew his long sword from his waist, and the blade flashed.
"kill!"
Seeing Xiong Ruyun take action directly, the Gao brothers, Gao Minxiong and Gao Minxiong, stopped wasting words and brandished their weapons, attacking several disciples at the Inner Qi Realm.
“My two junior brothers, I am your opponent.”
Li Juhong shouted loudly, gripped his heavy black iron sword, and charged towards Gao Minxiong and the other man.
His heavy black iron sword weighed over 400 jin (approximately 200 kg), and when he swung it, it produced a powerful and majestic sound, as if the heavy iron sword could tear through the air.
With a swing of the black iron heavy sword, an astonishing sword aura burst forth, instantly unleashing a wave of energy that rushed towards the Gao brothers.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Five experts brandished their weapons and began fighting each other. The inner disciples of the Qingfeng Gang couldn't get involved at all; they could only surround the entire battlefield.
The blades flashed, their shadows spreading like stars. The blades' power scattered and flew everywhere, directly striking the wall and leaving several marks.
“Junior Brother Gao, it has been three years since I last saw you, and your strength has not improved at all.”
Li Juhong wielded his heavy black iron sword and fought a fierce battle with Gao Minxiong and Gao Hua.
Li Juhong is at the early stage of the third-rate realm and is about to enter the middle stage of the third-rate realm, while Gao Minxiong and Gao Hua are at the peak of the inner energy realm, one has just broken through to the early stage of the third-rate realm and the other has just reached the peak of the inner energy realm.
The Gao brothers, Gao Minxiong and Gao Juhong, could only manage a draw against each other.
The heavy black iron sword was suddenly swung violently, as if it had unleashed the force of ten thousand jin.
Click!
Gao Hua rushed forward with his sword, but the long sword in his hand broke. He was shocked and couldn't dodge in time. He was slashed in the chest by the sword that came down with it.
puff!
A deep gash was ripped open in his chest, and blood splattered everywhere.
Gao Hua felt as if his chest had been struck by a boulder. A tremendous force sent his body flying, crashing into the wall of the house before slamming heavily onto the ground.
At this moment, Gao Hua was completely exhausted and looked like he was on the verge of death.
In the instant that masters clashed, their inner energy burst forth, their sword light radiated in all directions, and a tremendous gust of wind seemed to form around them, creating an immense commotion.
Lin Xiaofei stood at the entrance of the courtyard, keeping a certain distance from them to avoid being hit by the shockwave from the blade's strike.
He used his Illusionary Eye Technique to see that Li Juhong was just a little short of fully opening up the internal energy in both hands, thus entering the mid-stage of the third-rate realm.
At the same time, the opponent's black iron heavy sword was clearly a treasured weapon. When the opponent released his internal force, he made the seemingly clumsy black iron heavy sword as light as a feather when Li Juhong swung it.
With a single swing of his blade, he seemed to swallow mountains and rivers, his sword energy surging and crashing upwards. In less than fifteen moves, he broke through the combined attack of the Gao brothers and even killed Gao Hua in the process.
On the other side, Xiong Ruyun, the deputy hall master, was a formidable fighter. After watching for a while, Lin Xiaofei could tell that only one of his arms had been opened up with internal energy.
Xiong Ruyun was tall and strong, with a powerful physique. When he released his internal energy, his arm strength became even greater, and his knife skills were sharp and fierce.
With a single slash, it seemed as if nine sword shadows appeared, their momentum as powerful as a rainbow.
Compared to Xiong Ruyun, Liu Sanjiang had only opened up the internal energy in one arm. The old fox was still the most cunning, and Liu Sanjiang was still too young to have the same combat experience as Xiong Ruyun.
He was mostly forced to defend against Xiong Ruyun's swordsmanship and was clearly at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, Liu Sanjiang's lightness skill was slightly better than Xiong Ruyun's, which allowed him to dodge Xiong Ruyun's fierce attacks time and time again.
