He sank into his heart, and he was also a well-known figure in the world. His military achievements were brilliant, and the other party dared to come directly to him, which showed that he had absolute confidence in his own strength and martial arts skills. Of course, it was not ruled out that he was a complete fool, but could a fool kill An Guo Xie who had nine apertures open?

  Even if he had helpers with similar strength, it would be useless!

  At this time, the other two resting horse bandits also crawled out of the tent, one holding a knife and the other carrying a sword. The knife was an ordinary horse knife, and the sword was a narrow long sword with two deep blood grooves on it.

  Meng Qi finished his greeting and didn't wait for Shen Zui to speak, he charged forward like a war chariot. The Red Sun Town Evil Blade flashed out, enveloping Shen Zui and one of the horse bandits. The blade light rolled in, with each knife strike faster than the last, sometimes fierce and powerful, sometimes strange and unusual, sometimes exquisite and sometimes ancient and simple, fully displaying his own knife skills.

  Gu Changqing's long sword stabbed another horse thief, his swordsmanship was exquisite, guarding the gate tightly, waiting for himself to be undefeated before seeking victory over the opponent.

  Of the two who crossed hands with Meng Qi, the knife-wielding bandit was completely bewildered by the stormy attack, feeling that the opponent's sword could appear anywhere, making it impossible to defend against, and his own combat-honed killing technique couldn't be unleashed, only busy defending in a flurry.

  Fortunately, Shen Zui was by his side, holding a long sword that looked ordinary but seemed to have a layer of blood stains inside. The sword's momentum formed a circle, guarding him tightly, and at first glance, it was clear that it was derived from the Taiji Swordsmanship.

  Ding ding dang dang, after a series of continuous collisions, Shen Zui roughly figured out Meng Qi's swordsmanship and suddenly raised his long sword.

  This sword seemed slow and heavy, but it was secretly wonderful, striking first and arriving later, ringing out as it stabbed onto Meng Qi's knife body, causing his knife momentum to pause for a moment.

  The intoxicating eyes and ears are fully expressed in this sword.

  Meng Qi initially used swift and decisive tactics, relying on the Golden Bell Shield to break through Shen Zui's defense line. However, every sword strike from Shen Zui targeted Meng Qi's vital points, including his eyebrows, eyes, throat, temples, and lower abdomen, which were all common weaknesses in horizontal exercises. It was clear that Shen Zui was a seasoned veteran who had anticipated Meng Qi's moves and taken precautions beforehand. As a result, Meng Qi's plan to catch him off guard fell through, so he calmed down, eliminated his distractions, and decided to "hone" his skills with Shen Zui.

  The sword momentum was disrupted, and Meng Qi only saw Shen Zui's swordsmanship change, like rolling waves, continuously attacking, forcing himself to defend with all his might.

  No wonder you're a renowned master of the six senses!

  Meng Qi quietly praised and decided to eliminate the hidden danger first. Facing Shen Zui's long sword, he suddenly strafed to the left.

  The long sword flashed and turned, smoothly and flawlessly stabbing towards the left side, as if waiting for Meng Qi to voluntarily take his own life by crashing into it.

  Ke Mengqi's left foot tapped, his right foot slipped, and he suddenly retreated, escaping the range of Shen Zui's long sword. He directly collided with a horse bandit who was approaching from behind with a knife.

  Ma Fei did not expect Meng Qi to attack from behind, his horse knife chopped down unstoppable, directly chopping onto his back, cutting through his clothes, revealing a layer of dark gold, and chopping out a shallow wound.

  Then he felt the horse knife was clamped by the opponent's muscles, unable to move an inch. The dark gold burst forth, and a great force surged in, carrying the opponent along with his own horse knife, crashing into his chest, the inverted sword piercing through his chest and abdomen.

  A dark red light flashed, Meng Qi's footsteps slipped, and he dodged Shen Zui's long sword that was chasing his shadow.

  That bandit who had been shot through the chest and abdomen covered his wound with his hands, fell to the ground softly, fresh blood gushing out, intestines spilling out.

  Drunkenly watching, his eyes were bloodshot and about to split, the swordsmanship changed again, no longer like a continuous wave of water, but a shocking and terrifying wave, one wave higher than the other. Meng Qi's knife method was fully displayed after fusion, but he could only barely maintain it. After all, his knife method, except for the subtle changes derived from "Duan Qing Jing", was only at the level of the Five Tigers Broken Gate Knife Method and the Blood Knife Method during the Qigathering period, each with its own characteristics, but not yet at the level of the Open-minded Upper Knife Method.

  So, even if Meng Qi had a breakthrough, he couldn't compare to Shen Zui's exquisite swordsmanship. Facing this enemy with refined sword techniques, he suddenly felt inferior - Shen Zui's sword techniques seemed to be all top-notch skills from the enlightenment period.

  Meng Qi's swordsmanship evolved from the pure and clean changes of Duan Qing, with a hint of Luo Hongchen's falling dust changes added to it. Through such refinement, he became more mature, swinging horizontally and falling obliquely, always with a lingering flavor, breaking through the "waves". With time, Meng Qi might not be able to touch the "reason" in swordsmanship like Jiang Zhiwei, transforming the mundane into the extraordinary.

  Of course, this is a matter of how long it will take. Faced with Shen Zui's increasingly terrifying swordsmanship, Meng Qi put away his intention to "hone his blade" and decided to end the battle quickly. If he continued like this, he would soon reveal an opening, and whether he was heavily injured by Shen Zui or allowed him to escape, it would be a cause for endless regret. Why not go all out from the start?

  However, after this battle, Meng Qi probably understood his current level of strength. In the absence of absolute skills and auxiliary means, he was roughly equal to a six-orifice high-ranking master who was inferior to Shen Zui. If he used auxiliary means and absolute skills, even a seven-orifice high-ranking master could be defeated, but an eight-orifice master would depend on the timing and geographical advantage. In most cases, he could only injure his opponent and escape himself. After all, after opening six orifices, the illusion created by the Great Illusionary Technique was basically ineffective when the opponent was on guard.

  But if you don't count the losses and don't consider the consequences, a brief explosion is another matter.

  And after the fifth round is fully sealed, one or two of its own gates will be reduced, and the battle will become even more powerful!

  Just as Meng Qi was about to urge the Phantom Shape Great Method, Shen Zui also seemed to have made a decision. His face flashed with a bright red color, and his long sword stabbed abruptly. The swordsmanship was extremely fierce, one sword faster than the other, three swords in a row, taking lives and intimidating souls, like a ghost searching for souls.

  Such a deadly swordsmanship, Meng Qi had only seen "Yan Luo Tie" and "Jian Chu Wu Wo" besides this one in his lifetime. Fortunately, he had also witnessed these two moves before, so at this moment, his mind was calm and quiet, unaffected by the spiritual impact. The sword sliced through the air with an eerie trajectory, stirring up a cloud of red dust filled with a strange charm.

  Dang dang, Meng Qi parried Shen Zui's two swords in succession, but his own sword was knocked away. The third sword thrust straight in!

  The sword of intoxication points directly at Meng Qi's throat, with a fierce momentum that covers all evasions. It seems that except for using the Golden Bell Shield to harden and resist with full force, there is no other way. The throat belongs to the shield gate, and how much damage reduction effect it can have remains to be seen.

  Just then, Meng Qi's left hand jerked, and a sword light flashed, clashing against Shen Zui's long sword, deflecting it and stabbing into his shoulder.

  Dark gold sank deeply, long sword like rotten wood in the middle, making a "plop" sound, and didn't penetrate much.

  Meng Qi only felt the wound's fresh blood surging towards the long sword, his energy and blood boiling over, almost unable to dodge Shen Zui's subsequent palm, fortunately, his divine movement was most skilled at this kind of nimble evasion.

  Take a step back, Meng Qi swung his long sword and counterattacked Shen Zui: "Coming but not going is also impolite!"

  His eyebrows were tense and his spirit was externalized, but he was as sharp as a needle, fiercely piercing Shen Zui's head.

  Shen Zui knew he had killed Anguo Xie, and it was impossible for him not to be fully on guard against himself. He was also a master who had opened six orifices. In this situation, the Fantastical Shape Method could not create illusions - Anguo Xie's first mistake was entirely due to underestimating Meng Qi, this young monk who had yet to open his orifices.

  However, the Phantom Technique is not just about creating illusions and hiding one's tracks; direct spiritual attacks are also an important part of its repertoire!

  Of course, this is far from being as effective as Su Yuan's evil eye, at most it can only create a bit of dizziness, but in a situation where the two sides are evenly matched, a little dizziness is enough!

  Although Shen Zui's desperate moves did not achieve the expected effect, he was still confident when facing Meng Qi's incoming sword slash and looked for another chance to escape.

  He swung his long sword out in an attempt to parry the dagger, but at that moment, a sharp pain shot through his brow, and his head spun dizzily, causing his movements to slow.

  The sword broke with a predictable snap, sending his long sword flying.

  Dizzy in front of a black, immediately sober, but everything has completely changed. He, who was better at swordsmanship, was now greatly weakened with empty hands, while his opponent, Meng Qi, was getting fiercer and more ruthless with his sharp sword.

  Soon, Meng Qi realized that his palm technique was not as good as his swordsmanship, so he deliberately revealed a weakness and used the unimportant Zhongmen to withstand Shen Zui's slap, placing the Jie knife on his neck - if it were a sharp longsword, Meng Qi would not dare to use this move to resist.

  Taking advantage of Shen Zui's slight hesitation between surrender and "suicide", Meng Qi's left hand long sword fell to the ground, five fingers brushed, and he launched Rongxue Dian Xue Shou, sealing all the major acupoints on his chest.

  On the other side, the bandit was already at a disadvantage and became even more flustered after seeing Shen Zui being captured. He was caught off guard by Gu Changqing and stabbed through the heart.

  Meng Qi drew his sword and knocked out Shen Zui's front teeth, fearing he would bite off his own tongue. Then, smiling, he said: "Big Dangzi, where did my little brother go after passing through Che Lie Gorge?"

  They can describe Zhen Hui's appearance, personality and ability to handle things so accurately. This group of bandits must have seen Zhen Hui before, but at that time there was no evil knife killing order, and robbing a little monk who still needs to beg for alms is meaningless.

  "Can I not die?" Shen Zui said with a toothy grin.

  Meng Qi's face was expressionless as he said, "No way, Big Brother. When you robbed and killed the merchant caravan, did you ever give them a chance to live in order to eliminate any leads?"

  The drunkard's mouth is shut.

  Meng Qi suddenly burst out laughing: "Actually, I'm not that kind of person who is so righteous and strict with words. It's just that if you, a big fool, were to live, my whereabouts would be exposed, so... you have no choice but to die."

  "But death comes in many forms, some painless, others humiliating. Which one would you like to choose?"

  Honestly speaking, it sounds convincing to Shen Zui's ears. You see, he has expressed his intention to kill you so sincerely, then what he says afterwards must be true too, and he won't deceive you.

  Meng Qi pointed to the cautious Gu Zhangqing beside him, and said with a strange smile: "My friend here is very fond of men, he's just over 40 years old, has a good figure, and his temperament and appearance are also elegant. He's been itching for a long time, I wonder if you'd be willing to give it a try?"

  Shen Zui's face turned pale with anger, having enjoyed himself for half his life, he couldn't bear to suffer such humiliation at the end of his days. He stuttered: "I... I'll say it."

  Gu Changqing glared at Meng Qi fiercely when he overheard him, and was actually making up bad things about himself to scare people!

  As he listened, he glanced at Shen Zui... "Ugh", he covered his mouth and went to the side to dry retch.

  This guy can't take it mentally, fortunately Shen Zui is lying down and can't see... Meng Qi smiled and glanced at Gu Changqing.
