Chapter 2: Kill without pardon, empty sorrow

  Liu Hei Meng saw that his Shifu's prediction was not wrong, the young man had been struck by his Shifu's forty years of "Seven Sorrow Seven Mutilation Sword" of Kongtong Sect's ruthless internal energy, now he was motionless, his eyes dull and lifeless, it seemed that within two days and two nights, he would surely die!

  He saw that the lady with the curved knife was also seriously injured, Wu Gou had already died, and the remaining three girls' martial arts were far inferior. He himself was not afraid now, and the only one he needed to deal with was this white-haired old man with a long beard who suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

  He saw that the old man's appearance was extraordinary, and he didn't dare to be careless. He didn't know what the other party's background was like, but he thought about it repeatedly. In the Jianghu, how many old men with such an extraordinary appearance could there be? Could he be a master from a certain sect?

  Liu Hei Meng's two disciples, who had previously seen their good friend being killed by Bai Zhu Ye under the soft sword, now saw Bai Zhu Ye motionless, yet still charming and moving. Although she was still in men's clothing, one could imagine that if she were in women's clothing, she would be stunningly beautiful! The two of them immediately dismounted and rushed over, wanting to capture her first and humiliate her before taking her back.

  And the other two also came one after another towards Lin Meng'er, with a small green glow!

  These four disciples, seeing the beauty in front of them, thought of the injuries they and their fellow apprentices had suffered, and their eyes gleamed with anger. They didn't care who the other person was, and with Mr. Chu Qi present, a lustful smile floated to the surface, making their faces even more ferocious!

  Suddenly, Liu Hei only felt a dizziness in front of his eyes, and heard the old man with long white whiskers let out a cold hum. His body seemed to move slightly, and after a brief moment, the old man returned to his original position, standing still and unmoving.

  Liu Hei Meng was shocked awake, and cried out "Not good!" as he quickly turned around to defend himself. But unexpectedly, the old man did not attack him. When he looked at his four disciples, he found that they were all frozen in place, their eyes filled with terror!

  He hesitated in his heart, took two steps to the left, and lightly bumped into a disciple. Who knew that person would fall straight down, already dead!

  Mrs. Wan Dao, at first glance, saw clearly that just now, this white-haired old man with a long beard had used his heavy hand to strike the "Bai Hui" death point on the top of the heads of these four disciples in the blink of an eye!

  That is the Hundred Convergence, located on the Governor Vessel, it is a fatal point for the human body, where the three Yang channels of the hands and feet, as well as the Governor Vessel converge. The "Collection of Artemisia" says: "The five convergences of the three Yang, the fifth being referred to as Hundred", meaning that the Hundred Convergence is where they intersect, showing how important it is, one of the four major fatal points on the human body! If the four famous disciples' fatal points are struck, how can they not die?

  Mr. Chu Qi was annoyed in his heart, he was good at physiognomy, and with just a slight glance, he knew that the four disciples were of poor character, with wolf-like heads and rat-like eyes, and he suspected that even in the northwest, they often relied on the Cuifeng Sect as their backing, doing many unjust and unscrupulous things, so when it came time to take action, he would show no mercy!

  In fact, he is not a ruthless killer!

  Liu Hei Meng took a deep breath, holding in his hands the "Qilian Thousand Years, Fire Thunder Iron Hammer", and although he was greatly afraid, he loudly asked: "Who are you, why do you want to help the Devil's Cult?"

  "Haha, who said I'm helping the Demon Sect? I just think you're not even as good as them. These four disciples are my small punishment for you. You yourself, get out of here!" Mr. Chu Qi said calmly without even looking at Liu Hei Mao.

  Liu Hei Meng's face turned red with rage, for decades no one had ever dared to speak to him like that. Knowing he might not be a match for this person, he gritted his teeth and said: "Fine, if you can win against me in a duel with these bronze hammers, I'll leave. Come on!"

  Before he could finish speaking, he raised his "Qilian Thousand Years, Fire Thunder Absorbing Iron Hammer" high up in the air. The first move of the "Fire Thunder Hammer Technique", "Heavenly Strike Thunderbolt", truly came crashing down on Mr. Chu Qi like a heavenly thunderclap!

  Mr. Chu Qi sneered, saying: "It's just a pity for the thousand-year-old iron-absorbing thunderstone on the top of Qilian Mountain! What a misfortune to meet such people!" He dodged to one side and avoided the "Heavenly Thunderbolt", then snatched a sword from one of the three still-standing Tianyi Sect disciples, suddenly turned around and swung his sword at Liu Hei with incredible speed.

  He only made a casual move, without any time to gather his energy and focus his mind. However, in Chujiu's eyes, it was as if he had used the "Xuanyang Tianjian Quan" of the Diancang Sect, with a similar underlying principle! Moreover, on Chujiu's chest, where the "Hunfei Poshan, Xuanclear Liuyang Huan" was located, there was an intense heat emanating from it. Could it be that Mr. Chu Qi's sword had actually activated the Daozong's Supreme Dao Law?

  Liu Hei's heart skipped a beat, not expecting the old man's sword to come so quickly. Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, he could only raise his hammer with both hands and use all his internal force on the "Qilian Thousand Years, Fire Thunder Absorbing Iron Hammer" to seal off Mr. Chu Qi's incoming casual sword.

  But the crowd heard a "crack" sound, and Liu Hei's left hand "Qilian Thousand Years, Fire Thunder Absorbing Iron Hammer" had already broken off at the connection between the hammer handle and the hammer head, exactly where it was cut off by Mr. Chu Qi with an ordinary long sword of the ordinary Qiangtang Sect disciple.

  How could Liu Hei Meng believe that, like a wooden chicken, even his own senior brother would not be able to casually cut off his own familiar copper-made "Qilian Thousand Years, Fire Thunder Iron Hammer" with one sword!

  "You're just a accomplice to evil! Following your senior brother as a tiger makes a mockery, but I'll spare you because ten years ago you continuously chased the notorious 'Western Region's Lone Flower' for three months. Today, I'll only cut off one of your arms, if I see you again and you're still so arrogant, I'll remember to take care of the other arm too! Scram!" Mr. Chu Qi was also thinking about how to save Chu Jiu, his mood was very bad, so he shouted loudly, which was a big difference from his usual polite demeanor.

  Liu Hei Meng was shocked again, ten years ago he had been chasing the notorious "Xiyu Yizhihua" for three consecutive months, many in the Jianghu didn't know it was his doing, and this could be counted as one of his few righteous deeds. This old man remembered it clearly, this person's mysteriousness must be extraordinary!

  However, he was a straightforward and stubborn person. Having suffered such great humiliation, he was not willing to accept it and was not afraid either. He thought that even if he were to die, it would be no big deal. So he said loudly: "I am not skilled in my studies, I have no one to blame but myself. I hope the old master will leave his name, and I will definitely come back to ask for guidance when I am still alive!"

  Mr. Chu Qi saw that he was such a tough guy, and didn't dislike him, he didn't kill Liu Hei Meng, apart from knowing that Liu Hei Meng was Lie Chi Yan's fellow disciple and legitimate younger brother, there was also the reason of this man's own character, now hearing him still dare to ask like this, smiled and said: "Good, if you want revenge, just spread the word on the rivers and lakes, I'll accompany you at any time, I'm just a fortune teller who mixes in the rivers and lakes, my name is almost forgotten, but for twenty years, friends on the rivers and lakes still mention me from time to time, they all call me 'Encountering Calamity Turns into Good Fortune, Quickly Find Mr. Chu Qi', that's me!"

  These words are exactly the same as what Lin Meng'er and Su Yu heard in "Bamboo Forest Tea House" in Fengjie on that day, only now Chu Jiu is seriously injured and dying, no longer with the mischievous, lively and sunny appearance of that day. When Lin Meng'er thought of this, her sadness surged up even more!

  Liu Hei Meng was stunned upon hearing that this person was actually Chu Qi, the most mysterious and great master of divination in the Jianghu for the past twenty years.

  On the Kunlun Mountains, he also heard his fellow disciples mention that this Chu Qi was a master of spiritual communication and divination, unparalleled in the world. His martial arts skills were also renowned throughout Jianghu as heavenly, yet he seemed to have suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and no one knew his origins.

  But the flying letter of Dugu's broken heart did not mention Mr. Chu Qi, presumably because he took Su Yu's words very seriously.

  Liu Hei Meng still remembered that at the time, the master's elder brother said: "This Mr. Chu Qi must be a famous master in disguise, one day when Leng has the chance to meet him, he will definitely uncover his true face!"

  Liu Hei Meng thought about his senior brother's words and took another careful look at Chu Qi, but he didn't find any signs of him wearing a human skin mask. Not daring to say anything else, he looked around at the others, including Chu Jiu, before turning around and mounting his horse to leave. As for the four disciples' corpses, no matter what, he didn't dare to clean them up!

  Mr. Chu Qi waited until Liu Hei rode his horse far away, and he also let out a sigh of relief. Turning back, he pointed to the valley and said: "Ming Er's virtuous nephew, quickly help your master brother into the valley, follow me, I'll find an old friend to treat him, there's still hope for rescue!"

  Lin Meng'er's heart was filled with joy, she really had no other way out now, hearing this, she hurriedly went to support Chu Jiu.

  On the other side, Wu Gou was already on his last breath, but suddenly he woke up, smiled and said: "Xiao Wan, it's okay now... I'm going to die soon, after I die, no one will control you anymore, you can think of your senior brother Huang Yigun as much as you want..."

  His body was pierced by the fierce red flame of "Seven Sorrowful Seven Remaining Swords", his internal energy was completely frozen, his heart pulse was cut off, and his bones were all shattered. If not for his strong will to hold on until now, he would have died long ago if he hadn't taken three grains of the sacred medicine "Lotus Double Swallow Dan" from the Point Cang Sect.

  Now his voice is entirely dependent on "Lianhua Shuangyuan Dan", but suddenly it becomes clear and smooth again, as if he has regained his vitality. However, the smile on his face is even uglier than crying!

  "Old man... how can you bear to leave me behind and go? You promised me that we would live together until we're 80 years old, and then return to Donghai Xiantian Butterfly Island together to watch the sunrise and sunset, the tides rising and falling!" Madame Wan Dao was overcome with sorrow. Seeing her husband suddenly regain consciousness, she had initially been overjoyed, but now seeing Wu Gou Long Lao reminiscing about his past youthful romance with Shifu Xiong Long Lao, she spoke painfully: "I and Shifu Xiong were only kindred spirits in our youth, but after I met you, my heart was fully devoted to you. Even when we quarreled after getting married, I would intentionally bring up Shifu Xiong just to annoy you, but actually, I had long since transferred the true feelings I had for Shifu Xiong onto you!"

  She was originally a person from the demonic sect, with a changeable personality. In "Wait Moon Inn", she smiled and killed several disciples of Congtou and Qingcheng Sects, ruthless and merciless. However, on her way to Shu, she showed great care and tenderness towards Chujiu and Lin Meng'er.

  Now, when speaking with her husband who is about to die, Madame Curie's eyes are unexpectedly gentle, as if she has returned to the "heavenly pit and earthly crevice" of their 16 years together, isolated from the world, without worries or cares.

  Mr. Chu Qi and his wife were now speaking in low voices, so it was inconvenient for them to move around. Everyone temporarily stopped and sat down where they were to practice, and it wasn't convenient for them to walk over and listen to what the two of them were saying.

  "I don't believe you, these past few days you've been constantly thinking of your senior brother's silver spear, hiding it in your sleeve, how would I not know?" Wu Gou Long Lao heard Yan Dao Fu Ren finish speaking, and his heart was actually extremely joyful, but every time he said a sentence, the injured place would ache terribly, and once it reached his heart, he would start to hate the so-called righteous sects. Once he hated them, he thought of Silver Spear Long Lao who still cared about Yan Dao Fu Ren even in death, and his words were thus.

  "My senior brother's silver spear, I've kept it in my sleeve. Only a small part of it is nostalgia. After all, our school only has my senior brother and me! You also know that the life of Senior Brother Huang's family was very bumpy, even the sect leader couldn't help but sigh! This silver spear was personally forged by me for my senior brother. Before he died, he still thought about sending a message to us, how could I just throw it away? And the most important thing, you've also seen, is to catch those hypocritical scoundrels off guard!" The curved knife lady still held Wu Gou elder, her gentle gaze quietly watching her husband, not wanting to move for a moment. She stroked Wu Gou elder's disheveled hair with her hand and softly explained.

  Everyone was practicing meditation, Chu Qiuzi, initially had a higher inner strength than Lin Ming'er and others, although unintentional, but could hear what she said, this point, the initial nine naturally believed without doubt. In "Wait for the Moon Inn" on the second floor, she used the clever plan of "hiding a knife in her sleeve" to deceive the famous Qingcheng Sect's "Three Hands Fire Sword" He Zhuo, and turned over to rescue many younger ones, with one trick after another.

  Bai Zhu Ye, Lin Ming Er owes her life to her timely interventions several times, and that's why she can still survive now!

  "As for me? I naturally know the origin story of Huang Yin's gun, but my Wu Gou sect is also not smooth sailing. The whole family has a great vendetta, and it hasn't been avenged yet. It's just that I don't know if the Sect Leader can help me avenge my hatred in the future?" Wu Gou elder sighed and lamented when he heard about the origin of Yin Gun elder's family from Wan Dao Fu Ren.

  "Don't worry about this, your nephew has grown up. The master is a hero of the world today, and his words are naturally counted. Even if we can't avenge ourselves, he will definitely teach your nephew Wu Gou with all his heart and help him regain the 'Heavenly Unique Double Hook' for your family!" Madam Wan Dao said affirmatively.

  In her mouth, the leader of the demonic sect seemed to be a great hero who could touch the sky and stand on the earth. Who was he?
