In such a stormy weather, Zhong Ya Chao and Wang Hong were trembling with fear under the mighty power of the Thunder God, their eyes fixed on the giant thunderbolt that was branching out and flashing its teeth.

  It burst through the roof and poured down, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daylight, with threads of electric snakes dancing!

  Looking at the silver-white scenery near the stairs, Zhong Ya stepped back a few steps, and in his mind, there was only one thought echoing:

  "Cut! Cut!"

  The demonic sword at his waist let out a mournful cry, as if its very essence had been wounded by the righteous and just power of the thunder!

  But this mournful cry could not wake up Zhong Ya She, his eyes were flashing with electric light, and the scene in front of him was like a legend of gods and demons!

  It's not just him, Bai Baizhan, the master of the fish sea, is also like this. He and Yuan Menger are only a few feet apart, and the power of the Nine Heavens Thunder God can be felt most clearly. Looking at the lightning flashing in the "ocean", his hands tremble, not daring to take another step, fearing that he would provoke the "external strong" and give himself a thunderbolt.

  Although they were loyal to Yuan Meng, under the threat of thunder and lightning, they were also trembling with fear, not daring to rescue him. In this situation, rushing forward would be suicidal!

  Yuan Mèng Zhī's entire body was lifted off the ground, wrapped in a silver-white lightning snake, crackling continuously. With a loud thud, he fell to the ground, revealing his current state: his whole body was charred black, his saber was shattered into pieces, and nothing on him, whether it was an object or skin, remained intact.

  His hair was still burning, his clothes were still burning, his eyes were wide open, but the emotions inside could no longer be seen. A knife wound ran across between his two eyes, straight to the center of his eyebrows, and there was still a flash of electric snakes. The wound was charred black, without a single drop of fresh blood flowing out.

  Meng Qi stood in front of Yuan Meng's branch, his right hand grasping the Red Day Town Evil Knife, with residual thunder and lightning swirling around him, exuding an unspeakable grandeur and majesty in the eyes of Zhong Ya Xue and others!

  "Master brother, I knew you'd come to save me!" Zhen Hui happily ran towards Meng Qi.

  He subconsciously wanted to grab him, but was met with Meng Qi's emotionless black eyes, and his legs immediately went soft. Who dares to block? The Nine-Orifice-Opening Yuan Meng the Great is lying right there!

  "Let's go." Meng Qi smiled at Zhen Hui, putting the Red Sun Town evil knife into his back and the Ice Gate sword back into its scabbard.

  He didn't even glance at Bai Zheng, Dou Mo and Zhong Ya Chao and other horse bandits, as if the entire hall had no one else, as if they were worthless, not worth a glance.

  "Hmm!" Zhen Hui nodded vigorously, gazing regretfully at the delicious food that had been charred by lightning.

  Meng Qi turned around, his left hand on the hilt of his sword, and walked leisurely, while Zhen Hui followed closely behind, chattering away about what had happened after they parted ways.

  Watching them leave as if nothing had happened, neither Bai Baizhan, the number one master of the nine orifices, nor Dou Mo, his loyal subordinate, reacted in any way, and instead seemed to be secretly relieved, thinking "as long as they're gone, it's good, as long as they're gone, it's good, just don't implicate me!"

  Under such a powerful and intimidating force, the bravado of not fearing death is merely empty talk. If it weren't for being forced into a desperate situation, who would engage in a suicidal struggle?

  Zhongya She and others were even more unbearable, some retreated a few steps, some slumped down, and no one dared to look straight at Meng Qi. Although they all clearly knew that this was the little monk on the evil knife's wanted list, the problem was that if he didn't come to kill them, it was because the Buddha was protecting him. Who would still dare to go up and touch his whiskers or collide with his reverse scales?

  The difference between scenery and enlightenment is the same as the difference between ordinary people and immortals!

  Bai Baizhan saw from the previous exchange that Meng Qi's strength was only around four orifices, and he had a move that borrowed the external scenery knife method of Knife Intent, which could transcend ranks to challenge. It wasn't an external scenery, but rather the effect of some object or talisman on his body that brought about the lightning strike that killed Yuan Menglou. However, no one knew if he still had any similar objects, or if that item could still be used. To risk Meng Qi's life for Yuan Menglou wasn't worth it; it was better to notify Ze Luojue and let this external scenery expert handle it himself.

  Thus, the entire hall was filled with powerful bandits, yet they watched as Meng Qi left, without anyone stopping him or making a sound. In fact, most people didn't even dare to look directly at his back.

  He had a sword and a knife crossed on his back, with another hanging from his waist. His left hand rested on the hilt of his sword, his demeanor was calm and composed, unhurried and unforced. Amidst the encirclement of nearly a hundred enemies, he strode out of the room with ease, disappearing into the darkness outside.

  Such a figure was deeply etched in the hearts of Zhong Ya Shuai, Gong Sha Yue and other horse bandits.

  After a long time, someone sighed and said: "The power of heaven and earth is indeed terrifying!"

  "Who would have thought he could summon lightning!"

  For the vast majority of horse bandits, Meng Qi's appearance is not important, what matters is that he has shown his killing power, after all, no one dares to bet whether he can come again!

  "Xiao Meng, Zhen Ding, these two names will indeed make a name for themselves and spread their fame far and wide...". Zhong Ya Xi thought to himself in wonder, with just one move he was able to defeat the ninth-ranked expert Yuan Mengzhi, something that even those at the bottom of the rankings might not be able to accomplish.

  Of course, among the human rankings, there is also Gu Xiao Sang who has made three moves and killed one 8th Tribulation and two 9th Tribulation demons.

  …………

  Walking out of the city master's mansion, turning into the shadows outside, Zhen Hui was still chattering on and on, talking about her own Jianghu experiences.

  Suddenly, he saw his senior brother's body sway beside him, and his whole person went soft, almost falling to the ground.

  "Big brother, what's wrong?" Zhen Hui asked anxiously with concern.

  Meng Qi let out a wry smile: "Just a bit off."

  "The Dog" day's six paths of reincarnation master, only said that the lightning mark can summon heavenly thunder to assist three times on rainy days with thunderstorms, but never mentioned that it would consume so much energy!

  After using all his strength to unleash a single slash of "Cutting Clarity", he originally still had the ability for ordinary combat, but now, apart from walking, he really didn't have any extra energy left.

  In that situation just now, the wolves would surround you and if you showed even a hint of weakness or disobedience, they would immediately tear you apart and plunder your belongings.

  So Meng Qi forcibly supported himself, exerting his multiple experiences of pretending to be a strong person, treating others as if they were nothing, and leaving with ease. Combining the remaining power of the heavenly thunder, he indeed intimidated them.

  If there was still the strength to fight again, with Meng Qi's lively personality, he would not have pretended to be like this before, but instead would have used his long knife to point at those bandits and say: "I have a grudge that I will settle on the spot!" "You bunch of chickens and dogs, killing you would only dirty my precious sword!" "Who dares to come forward and fight?"

  But since it's already out of power, it can't provoke again. If some reckless guy rushes out, the joke will be big!

  Zhen Hui quickly supported Shixiong, under his command, hands and feet moved quickly to find the wrong soul supplement pill, fed Meng Qi one, then supported him, and launched the light work of the finger flower, rushing towards Lao Cao Hotel.

  The medicine had just been taken, and Meng Qi's ears seemed to echo with cries and wails. He steadied his mind and employed his Zen skills, treating it as if he hadn't heard anything. Gradually, he felt something transform into strands of hot energy that replenished his body and soul.

  At this time, the heavy rain was pouring down, thunder rumbled, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. The two of them soon arrived at Old Cao's hotel. Thanks to the medicine, Meng Qi recovered some physical strength, pressed his left hand on the sword again, and strode into the room with a carefree and elegant demeanor, walking towards Xiejiu Gui.

  Don't show off your strength in just one aspect, otherwise it's hard to guarantee that a thankless person won't harbor evil intentions.

  After seeing the thick and powerful lightning strike the city master's mansion, Gu Changqing turned around and walked back to Lao Cao Hotel. Whether it was Meng Qi's secret or Wai Jing Gao Ren's assistance, in short, Zhen Hui would definitely be rescued.

  He waited with such certainty for a while, and then saw Meng Qi walking leisurely towards him with his sword, secretly praising him in his heart. Little Meng is really good-looking! What a great appearance!

  "Let's go, leave the city." Meng Qi didn't want to linger, in case someone came to their senses.

  The drunkard belched and got up unsteadily: "Follow me to the back to change clothes."

  Changed into local tribal attire, covering up their swords, Xiejiu led the three towards the nearest city gate.

  Arriving at the edge of the city, Meng Qi gripped his sword hilt cautiously, having recovered a bit of his combat strength.

  The gatekeeper didn't ask a single question and quietly opened the city gate, seeing off the four of them - Fish Sea City was small, so it wasn't necessary to make such a fuss about opening the door.

  Out of the city, Meng Qi gained a bit more confidence in Xie Jiu's abilities and followed him to the lake shore, where a small boat was moored.

  "After getting on the boat, don't ask any questions. They'll take you to the other shore, which is only a day's journey from Ganhan. Once you arrive at Ganhan, the terrain is complex and no one will be able to find you." Xiejiu said in a low voice, unusually serious.

  What he said was that no one could find him, it was a tense situation where no one could find him in time. After all, within six or seven days, the Shaolin reinforcements would arrive, who would dare to risk searching for the authentic Shaolin heir?

  "The remaining money is given now?" Meng Qi asked calmly.

  The wine ghost shook his head: "When we reach the other shore, we'll pay the boatman. Don't worry that you'll renege on your debt; anyone who has ever dared to do so is now living at the bottom of the sea of fish."

  Meng Qi secretly guessed how strong the forces behind him were and didn't say anything more. He boarded a small boat with Gu Changqing and Zhen Hui.

  The boatman wore a straw hat, as if from the Central Plains, his skin was dark and weathered, he was taciturn and spoke little, steadily rowing with both oars at the back of the boat.

  Meng Qi closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, trying hard to recover his strength. Gu Changqing and Zhen Hui were very considerate and didn't speak, also adjusting their own state.

  At this time, a mist suddenly rose, and Meng Qi immediately drew his long sword, assumed the posture of sending a letter, and vigilantly looked ahead.

  "Don't worry, I mean no harm." A voice that seemed to come from a dream floated up, and a figure in a feathered cloak and high hat appeared before Meng Qi's eyes. His face was blurry, and his features couldn't be made out clearly.

  "What do you want to do?" Meng Qi asked in a low voice, while Zhen Hui and Gu Changqing beside him seemed to be fast asleep.

  The man in the high hat and cloak smiled and said: "We think you have potential, we want to recruit you as a reserve for our organization."

  "Who are you people? What organization?" Meng Qi asked with a frown.

  "After you agree and make an oath with your primordial spirit, I can tell you." The person in the feathered robe and tall hat said calmly.

  "Haha, you think I'll agree to this?" Meng Qi sneered with a mocking smile.

  A man in a feathered cloak and high hat smiled lightly, saying: "Our organization has immense power and sufficient resources to support your growth into an external strong person. Don't you think carefully about it?"

  Pyramid selling isn't done like this! Meng Qi muttered a sentence and didn't answer.

  The man in the feathered cloak and high hat sighed: "Alright, I know you can't make up your mind for now. I'll leave a talisman behind. If you figure things out later, just ignite it, and someone will come to find you."
