Chapter 226: The Ghost Mother Sect's Revenge

Chishan fell heavily to the ground, splashing mud water a zhang high.

Liang Qu took off the Fubo hanging on him and rolled to the ground; when he stood up again, he was already covered in a layer of mud.

He looked at the "old man" who had launched the sneak attack with a serious expression.

His peripheral vision caught the other two.

One threw away his bamboo hat and stepped forward to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the "old man," while the last one sat foolishly on the ground, his buttocks covered in mud, his white beard trembling.

Obviously, he had been badly frightened by the sudden blade light and hadn't understood what had happened at all.

The felt cloth covering the cart to block the rain was lifted by the blade edge, and the cart was full of neatly cut firewood and pottery jars, not looking like a disguise.

Two fakes and one real?

Good tactics!

Liang Qu said coldly: "Who are you people?"

The two "old men" looked down at Chishan struggling to climb up from the ground, stared at the leather bag hanging on the saddle, and feigned hoarseness: "Hand over the auction items, and we will leave you a whole corpse."

Robbing auction items?

Liang Qu frowned; did he really run into such a cliché thing?

No, that's not right!

If they were robbing auction items, why would they say they wanted to leave him a whole corpse?

He was Yang Dongxiong's disciple; who in the entire Yixing Town didn't know that?

Not that many people in Pingyang County had seen him, but it wouldn't be hard to find out if one had the heart to ask.

Robbing things was one thing; Yang Dongxiong wouldn't make a big fuss over this.

Yang Dongxiong, who had been in the military for many years, had a bloody nature and might even turn around and say he was poorly skilled, allowing thieves to find an opening.

But if it was murder, that was truly an endless feud!

No robber, no matter how bold, would act like this unless... there was already a feud!

Lightning flashed in the sky, and the thunder sounded like ten thousand horses galloping.

Liang Qu suddenly remembered the matter of someone asking about Aunt Zhang at the end of May, and his thoughts seemed to be connected by the lightning, forming dense tree branches.

Zhang Zhiyun's interrogation had long since had a result; the person who asked the question was indeed not Liu Wenyang, who had run over in the middle of the night to sneak attack him and was taken away after receiving a big slap.

So, for someone who was not local, not very smart, and satisfied both these conditions, there was a quite suspicious candidate.

The Ghost Mother Sect!

Huang Zejun, who had been played around by Old Master Zhao Hongyuan, made his memory fresh, and the Ghost Mother Sect met the condition of not being local!

Without Old Master Zhao as an "insider," the Ghost Mother Sect was completely in the dark about the situation in Pingyang County and was very likely to make one bad move after another.

Plus, knowing from the River Office gathering that the Ghost Mother Sect was retaliating, it was eight or nine out of ten!

It was just that he hadn't expected that nearly a month had passed, and the other party hadn't taken action, to the point where he had almost forgotten about it.

He had been sneak-attacked earlier and had relied on the alertness of the Jianghuai River's favor to avoid it in time.

That was true; most of the water vapor in the rain came from the Jianghuai River, and it was reasonable for him to be favored.

Thinking of this, Liang Qu narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to fish for information: "Are you people from the Ghost Mother Sect?"

The two were stunned.

Their slightly raised eyebrows proved everything.

Really not very smart...

You can't be a shut-in; you have to integrate with society.

Liang Qu immediately had a count in his heart; the aura revealed by that sneak attacker was around the Galloping Horse Upper Stage, and the other one should be about the same.

If he had encountered the two on land at a normal time, he would have to say there was indeed danger, but they chose to sneak attack in the plum rain season, and it was raining heavily today...

And calculating the time, at the end of May, he hadn't broken through the Four Gates yet, and the only thing he could take out was the Dragon-Tiger Golden Body.

Now he was at the Galloping Horse Four Apertures, only one small realm away from the two in front of him, a gap of two or three apertures...

The rain was pouring, and his ears were full of the sound of water.

"You were the ones who were probing my whereabouts on the 20th of May, right? Why did you wait a month before taking action?"

The two remained silent.

Liang Qu hadn't expected them to answer; he scanned the leather bag on Chishan, combined with the two's behavior of demanding auction items, and launched a brainstorm.

Probing for information at the end of May; if it were him, the time to take action would be a few days later, around early June.

That happened to be when the Sky Ship Chamber of Commerce was sending out invitations everywhere, with great momentum, lasting more than ten days.

"Could it be that you heard the Sky Ship Chamber of Commerce was going to open and hold an auction on the 18th, and you wanted to wait until after the event to deal with me?

At that time, you would complete the mission and also get a few treasures for free? Did you specifically choose to intercept me now for this reason?

This place is far from Pingyang County and close to Yixing Town, with few strong people, making it hard to be discovered..."

Hearing Liang Qu's words, the two couldn't hold their faces.

How could they have said nothing, yet already be guessed eight or nine out of ten by the person opposite?

Liang Qu was not wrong at all; the two were indeed from the Ghost Mother Sect!

They even had a close relationship with Huang Zejun, who had been captured by Lu Gang; they were all from the same branch, and counting it up, they were cousins, one named Huang Ziyan and the other named Huang Jinghong.

The one who launched the sneak attack with the blade was Huang Ziyan, who used a blade.

Huang Jinghong spat: "So what if you guessed it? You killed my cousin; today you are destined not to return alive!"

A forest-bright, water-like long sword slid out of his sleeve, and with a flash of sword light, the old man behind him lost his head; Liang Qu wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.

The old man was separated from him by two Galloping Horse Upper Stage martial artists, and the position completely didn't allow it.

Huang Ziyan took this opportunity to step down, like a giant python ascending to heaven, the entire ground collapsed into a large pit, and rainwater poured into the depression continuously.

The straw raincoat couldn't withstand the violent airflow and was torn into scattered straw in mid-air.

Liang Qu didn't resist at all, drifting backward along the blade that whistled over, almost squeezing out all the air in the sky.

The blade light grazed him, and he was unharmed.

"What a handsome movement technique!"

Huang Ziyan missed his strike, and Huang Jinghong followed up; his sword technique was sharp, with three-inch sword light spitting from the tip, turning into a sky full of cold light, wrapping around Liang Qu's entire body, surprisingly targeting his movement technique, wrapping around his whole body!

Swish, swish, swish.

A sky full of blade light and sword shadows, the shattered straw raincoat mixed with mud under the washing of the heavy rain.

Sparks flew, and the airflow danced like a dragon.

With the two's intersection as the center, the ground for several zhang was cut by sword marks, trees were broken at the waist, and the sword edge was so dense that not even water could get in.

Liang Qu's bare upper body revealed a faint golden glow, and countless sharp sword edges could only cut out white marks, with only a few swords cutting out blood.

"Hmm?" Huang Jinghong frowned, "Hard-body technique? Buddhist Golden Body?"

Even though his sword technique was dense, dodging and moving, causing most of the sword moves to lack lethality, it shouldn't have just cut out a few white marks.

At such a young age, his movement technique and hard-body technique could actually advance side by side?

Liang Qu glanced at the wounds on his body.

This wasn't just the effect of the Dragon-Tiger Golden Body, but also the addition of the Ze-Rong physique!

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Huang Jinghong secretly cursed his bad luck; if he had known, he shouldn't have waited for this auction, letting a puppy grow sharp teeth for nothing.

Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant.

"You go surround him, I'll kill him!"

Huang Ziyan left a sentence and followed up in a relay.

The two cooperated seamlessly.

One turned into a net, the other turned into a fish fork, determined to capture Liang Qu, this big fish!

A green light broke through Huang Jinghong's sword light blockade, like a dragon leaping into the abyss!

"Just relying on you two, you still can't take me down!"
