Chapter 340 Death Battle [Two in One]

"Thank you all, you've come just in time." Liang Peng smiled and greeted them, pointing at Mo Xiaohu, "This is the classmate I mentioned. There's no need to trouble him anymore, just take him away."

what?
When Mo Xiaohu heard this, he felt like a bolt from the blue had struck his head.

So the Left Prime Minister sent them to help you with something, and the person they wanted to help was "me"?

You were so quick to file the complaint, you didn't even leave it overnight!
It happened so fast that in that instant, all of Mo Xiaohu's desire to survive came together, and he fell to his knees with a plop, "Liang Peng, for the sake of our being classmates... for the sake of me... I treated you to dinner yesterday, so please spare my life!"

Thoughts were racing in his mind, and he wanted to say that he did it because of the friendship we had as classmates, but then he changed his mind and realized that he wasn't very friendly to Liang Peng back then, so wouldn't it be a suicide mission to bring it up now?
So he wanted to say that it was for the sake of my father and my uncle, but then he thought again, those great elders in his family were nothing in front of the other person's father, the Left Prime Minister?

What's the difference between mentioning it and not mentioning it?

In the end, I can only say that I once treated you to dinner.

"Don't worry." Liang Peng patted his shoulder and said, "I'm not looking for you to kill you. I just want to understand the situation. As long as you cooperate with the investigation of the Ministry of Justice, you can save your life."

"Really?" Mo Xiaohu was a little confused for a moment.

He really didn't know what he had to investigate. After all, he was not very old. Apart from this attempt to cheat in the imperial examination, the mistakes he had made over the years were nothing more than bullying classmates, molesting women, fighting, bullying men and women, murder and arson...

Thinking of this, he became even more panicked.

However, the officials from the Ministry of Justice could not help but let him struggle. Seeing that he showed some signs of not wanting to leave, they swung their swords and hit him on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious. Then they carried him away like a dead pig.

"Have a safe trip, everyone." Liang Peng said respectfully.

Those officials who were ferocious to others smiled at Liang Peng, "Hey, Mr. Liang, please go back soon. If you have any problems in the future, you don't need to ask the Prime Minister to tell you. Just tell us directly. There is no need to inform the Prime Minister to deal with such people."

Now that Mo Xiaohu is gone, it won’t be so easy to get out again.

Liang Fuguo wanted to take advantage of the situation, so naturally he had to trace the case all the way up from this line, just like when he started with the Zhen Chang case. No one had expected that he would be able to overturn the entire Ministry of Works.

This time, it may not be easy either.

In fact, Liang Peng didn't quite know what Liang Fuguo's ultimate purpose was, but he knew that based on the past behavior of Zuo Xiang, he would definitely do so. And he could find opportunities from it to gain benefits for himself, which was the most important thing.

Turning around, he closed the door and returned to the yard.

Li Caiyun asked at the door, "What's the matter?"

"It's okay, mother." Liang Peng smiled and assured her, saying, "A classmate came to see me, but was arrested by the Ministry of Justice."

"What's wrong?" Li Caiyun said, "Don't make friends with those questionable people. You have a simple personality, don't let them lead you astray."

"I know, it has nothing to do with me, you don't have to worry about it." Liang Peng said: "Did you pay attention to the technique I asked you to practice yesterday?"

"Alas." Li Caiyun sighed, "Who would have thought that at my age, this would happen? I can't concentrate on reading. I feel sleepy as soon as I read."

It turned out that after she said she felt dizzy yesterday, Liang Peng used his true Qi to check her and found out that the reason Li Caiyun was feeling unwell was actually... she also had a sense of Qi!

How could there be a Qi Refiner who awakens only when he is almost fifty years old? Needless to say, this is naturally the credit of the Enlightenment Tree.

"It doesn't matter whether you succeed in your cultivation or not. It's good to be able to prolong your life a little bit." Liang Peng said, "But this matter must be kept secret, otherwise people might guess that there is something strange in our family and attract people with ulterior motives to covet it."

"Mother knows." Li Caiyun narrowed her eyes, "If anyone dares to ask about our family affairs, I will slap him in the face!"

……

"If this kid dares to say anything outrageous again, I will stop the trial and go in to shut him up." Yang Wuqi said angrily.

In the painting at this moment, Liang Yue and Wen Yifan had already walked onto the city wall. The dim night added a bit of hazy atmosphere between the two people.

"They are a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match. It is not our turn as old people to object." Taoist Feng couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

Master Yun said, "Besides, you are not a direct elder. Miss Wen's master is Deng Yunzi."

"Anyone else can do it, but Wang Rulin's disciple definitely can't do it." Yang Wuqi said, "Junior Brother Deng Yunzi must have said the same thing."

"That's true." Taoist Feng agreed, "Among the people in the world who look down on Lao Wang the most, Lao Deng is probably one of them."

The older generation of practitioners, just like Liang Yue and his companions now, have been fighting and hanging out together since their youth. They are familiar with each other and have their own love-hate relationship with each other.

Among them, Wang Rulin is a relatively pure type of person. He has very little love or hate, and is basically all hatred.

Zen Master Yun said, "Someone has found the Moon Pearl."

This sentence also attracted the attention of the other two people.

……

The reason why Liang Yue and Wen Yifan were strolling on the top of the city wall was because they had tacitly given up this trial and did not want to participate in the competition anymore.

Because for other participants, this is a crucial battle of life and death, a single thought can mean heaven or hell.

If the two of them continued to kill everyone in the competition, they would be destroying the hopes of others. It would be better to leave the opportunity for competition to them and let everyone decide who is better.

While they were strolling leisurely, the remaining seven people had already flown into Huanyin City.

The city looked no different from any other big city, with long stone roads, scattered houses and buildings, the streets were filled with moonlight, and the alleys were pitch black.

The difference is that there is no resident here, only eight moon beads scattered around the city. The moon bead is not difficult to find, because it is just a white ball of light suspended in the low sky.

Monk Yuansheng was very lucky as he hit one as soon as he came in.

At the end of the alley, a white ball of light shone through the darkness. Monk Yuansheng walked forward, stretched out a palm, and sucked out the moon bead.

With a whoosh sound, he put a fist-sized bead into his sleeve.

But before I could turn around, another person came to the entrance of the alley.

Qi Yingwu, who was wearing a long gown, stood there and said softly, "Leave the moon pearl behind and you can go."

Qi Yingwu had changed a lot after breaking through the sixth realm. Before, he had a warm aura, and even though his cultivation was higher than others, he would not make people feel oppressed. But now he took the initiative to release his aura, like a towering mountain, making Monk Yuansheng in the alley feel difficult to breathe.

But since I have come to participate in the trial, how can I give up easily?

Facing a strong enemy, Monk Yuansheng didn't say a word. He turned around, stepped on the wall, jumped up, and ran away!
Qi Yingwu's eyes focused, he drew a circle in the air, and a golden light instantly surrounded Monk Yuansheng.

clang--

His body hit the golden light and was immediately bounced back.

The Qiankun magic of Qi Yingwu could not be easily broken through. Even though Monk Yuansheng was unwilling, he could only throw the moon bead in his hand and shouted: "Here you go!"

Qi Yingwu took it in from a distance, and at the same time, he released the restriction on Monk Yuansheng as agreed, letting him go.

Although he could kill people in Huanyin City, he still didn't kill them, but just took the Moon Pearl away. After all, the matter was of great importance at this time, and if he killed people easily, it would be equivalent to cutting off the other party's hope of continuing to participate in the competition.

It’s a pity that Monk Yuansheng still didn’t get too far.

After escaping from Qi Yingwu's clutches, he quickly walked forward, wanting to distance himself from the others and search for the remaining moon beads on the other side of the city.

As long as he gets another Yu Linglong, he can basically get out of the game, so he can hide it if he finds a Moon Pearl. It's a pity that the one just got taken away, but without Wen Yifan's help, Qi Yingwu is indeed very strong, and there is no other way but to preserve his strength.

After walking through a few streets, he caught a glimpse of white light out of the corner of his eye.

Huh?
Monk Yuansheng secretly said that he was lucky today. Just when one was snatched away, he encountered another one.

He leaped forward and was about to absorb the moon pearl again, but he was not aware of a gust of wind blowing past and heading straight for his neck!

There is an ambush!
Monk Yuansheng felt a warning in his heart, and he drew his stick and turned over to block! He was blocking a short blade with a clang, but at the same time, an iron elbow hit his chest.

Bang!
What a strong energy.

Monk Yuansheng was suddenly ambushed and had no time to block the two attacks. He could only condense all his energy in his chest, but it was still shattered by the opponent's attack. He seemed to hear the sound of breaking bones.

He wanted to retreat and distance himself from the opponent, but the opponent was using a short knife and he was using a long stick, so he was at a disadvantage in this small space.

But he was not as flexible as before due to the injury, and the opponent's cultivation was higher than his. He caught up with the monk and slashed at the monk Yuansheng's throat with his backhand.

Monk Yuansheng exploded in despair and shouted, "Hey!"

Like a lion's roar, a fierce light shot out from his eyes, causing the opponent to pause.

Monk Yuansheng wanted to take this opportunity to counterattack, but the opponent was extremely ferocious and swung the dagger directly at his arm. With a hiss, blood spurted out and the pain woke him up from the shock of the lion's roar.

At this moment, Yuansheng's long stick had just been poked out, and the opponent took a step forward and got closer again, stabbing Monk Yuansheng in the heart with a knife.

puff.

Monk Yuansheng used his Qi to tighten his body, trying to stop the opponent's blade from piercing in. But the opponent immediately punched him in the Dantian, shattering his Qi and then slashed him with the knife, swish!

Hot blood splattered, and Monk Yuansheng fell heavily to the ground, losing his voice in an instant.

call out--

His body turned into a spot of light and dissipated in the Huanyin City.

The murderer's face was half revealed in the moonlight, and it was Yan Shenbing who was covered in blood!

Yan Shenbing's eyes were cold. Seeing that no moon bead was left after Monk Yuansheng disappeared, he showed a little disappointment.

Then, he turned around and calmly put away the hanging moon bead, and moved to the next hidden place a few streets away. He first mobilized his qi and blood to heal the knife wound, and then took out the moon bead again and let it continue to hang in the air.

Yan Shenbing hid in the shadow of the moonlight again, holding his breath, and in an instant he seemed as if no one was there.

It turned out that he got a moon pearl as soon as he entered Huanyin City, but one was not enough for him, so he disguised it as a wild moon pearl and made a trap to attract other people.

He has specially practiced the art of concealing his breath, and when he hides in the darkness, he seems to merge into one with the shadows.

There was no one passing by outside, and he was not in a hurry. He just waited quietly for the next fish to be caught.

If there is a Moon Pearl, it would be great, but if there is none, it is also OK. He has a different idea from Qi Yingwu. Killing all the competitors can also increase his chances of winning.

Taoist Feng, who was watching this scene from outside the painting, couldn't help but smack his lips, "As expected of a killer specially trained by Wu'an Hall. If it were a competition, many people might be able to defeat him. But in a life-and-death fight like this, he would definitely be in the top three among these people."

The reason why it is only the top three is because there are two people in the sixth realm.

"Indeed." Master Yun said, "Every move he makes is ruthless, regardless of injury. All his skills are specially trained for risking his life. In the battle to capture the city, he will definitely be a strong opponent."

"If you practice like this, you will inevitably lose the true meaning." Yang Wuqi frowned and said, "If you practice only for killing, how can you pursue the great way?"

"You can't be so absolute." Taoist Feng looked at him. "Master Zhang Xuan killed all the evil demons in the Nine Provinces back then. The blood flowing like a river is not enough to describe it. Isn't he transcendent and sacred?"

"But..." When talking about his master, Yang Wuqi could no longer refute and could only let out a long sigh.

……

Yan Shenbing left the Moon Pearl here for about half an hour before he finally welcomed another prey.

As the footsteps gradually approached, a figure emerged from the entrance of the alley. It was Shang Yunhai.

He looked at Yuezhu in the alley, but did not walk in rashly like Monk Yuansheng. Instead, he looked around and then scanned the area carefully with his spiritual sense.

However, Yan Shenbing's breath-hiding technique was extremely powerful, and he didn't seem to be able to detect it.

Shang Yunhai walked forward, and when he was three steps away from Yuezhu, he suddenly jumped up, transformed into a tiger or leopard, and slapped Yan Shenbing who was ambushing him in the shadow behind the wall!

Yan Shenbing dodged and the wall was smashed to pieces. He swung his short knife sharply, blocking Shang Yunhai's tiger claws. He then turned over and put away the moon bead.

"You actually discovered it." He said lightly.

"Brother Yan's method of concealing his breath is indeed mysterious, but the smell cannot be concealed." Shang Yunhai smiled.

"Awesome." Yan Shenbing nodded, but before he finished his words, he raised his hand extremely quickly, turned the short blade in his palm into a flying knife, and threw it out!

The flying knife was so powerful and heavy, like lightning, that it reached Shang Yunhai's face in an instant!

He let out a roar, swung his right palm and slapped away the knife light.

But closely following, Yan Shenbing's figure was already approaching, his eyes were red, his blood was burning, flames surrounded his body, and veins on his face bulged.

It seemed like some kind of blood-burning method was used to explode qi and blood!

Shang Yunhai only felt his breath stagnate, and the strong murderous intent of the person in front of him even shook his heart.

Yan Shenbing has gone crazy with killing!

　Good morning.
