"Look at my memory..."
The whispers and exclamations of praise from the guests continued for quite some time. The auspicious hour arrived, and Xiao Fengque and Xie An stood side by side. The Master of Ceremonies, drawing in his inner energy, shouted in a loud, clear voice:
"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"
The bride remained standing still. Xie An gently tugged at the red silk ribbon, and Xiao Fengque slowly turned around.
Just as the two turned around, Xie An was about to bow down when suddenly, a hawk's cry came from outside the hall!
"Wait a minute!"
In the blink of an eye, a figure in black robes descended from the sky and struck Xiao Fengque's crown with a palm!
The person, dressed in black, had a black veil covering their face, but a pair of hawk-like eyes were visible. Their temples were already gray. Judging from their voice, they seemed to be an old man.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Fengque ripped off the red veil on his head, removed the phoenix crown from his head with both hands, and threw it at the old man in black!
The magnificent pearls and jade of the phoenix crown flashed several dazzling streams of light in the air, carrying a strong gale as they rushed towards the face of the old man in black!
The old man in black sneered and pushed out with his palm. The phoenix crown, inlaid with gold and kingfisher feathers and full of pearls and jade, actually split into several pieces in the air and fell to the ground like an exceptionally gorgeous snowfall.
Such devastating power, capable of shattering rocks and splitting gold, greatly surprised Xiao Fengque and Xie An. The two exchanged a glance, both knowing that they would be no match for him in a one-on-one fight. Just as they were about to call upon the heroes to join forces and capture this man, they suddenly realized that the hall had fallen silent.
The two glanced to the side and saw that the heroes of the martial arts world who had come to attend the wedding were all flushed, with their eyes closed, and they were lying scattered on the ground as if their bones had been removed!
"You poisoned him?" Xiao Fengque's eyes turned cold. He stood back to back with Xie An, warily eyeing the old man in black.
The man in black chuckled strangely, "Do you know about 'Flirting Powder'?"
"A gathering of heroes, a fleeting moment of glory." Xie An murmured, "'Fengliu San' will make one's whole body weak and unconscious for three days before waking up. After waking up, the memory before the coma will be very blurry, as if one has experienced a great dream."
Xiao Fengque glanced sideways and frowned: "Why are you and I alright?"
The man in black laughed loudly, "Of course it's because none of them have to die, but you all do!"
"We'd rather die knowing the truth," Xiao Fengque declared loudly. "What grudge do we hold against our predecessors?"
As Xiao Fengque spoke, he secretly gave Xie An hand signals from behind.
I'll attack the front, you attack the rear.
Xie An understood. Although their eyes didn't meet, they were in tacit agreement. Before the man in black could even speak, Xie An suddenly lunged forward, striking the man in black's shoulder with a palm strike!
Xiao Fengque moved swiftly, flipping over to stand in front of a martial arts master in the arena. He drew the master's sword and tossed it at Xie An.
"Third Earth!" Xiao Fengque roared!
The man in black dodged Xie An's palm strike, and taking advantage of the opening, Xie An leaped forward to catch the sword, coldly saying, "Thanks!"
Xiao Fengque glanced around and, seeing that there was no other sword in the arena, broke out in a cold sweat.
Guests attending a wedding banquet would naturally not bring knives, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, or forks to embarrass themselves. The only sword present was brought into the hall because its owner considered it his wife and never parted from it throughout his life.
The man in black is highly skilled in martial arts; if he holds out against him with a weapon, he might be able to hold out for a while. Going in unarmed, however, will only lead to certain death!
Xie An was still locked in combat with the man in black, his sword dancing like a silver snake, its silver light shimmering like a white ribbon. After only a dozen or so moves, he began to show signs of weakness, barely managing to hold on.
Xiao Fengque gritted his teeth, kicked up a gong and a wooden mallet from the group of musicians, and flew forward!
