Chapter 42

One Finger Zen, Duan Duan Yanqing!

Zhao Ti's expression was serious; Duan Duan Yanqing had arrived.

But even if Duan Duan Yanqing arrived, the One Finger Zen was sharp and domineering, but could it stop him from killing?

Even if Duan Duan Yanqing's martial arts were higher, there was still a distance, and he and Yun Yun Zhonghe were only three feet apart!

The long sword was phantom and formless, and his movement was also formless; he would kill Yun Yun Zhonghe again.

At this moment, the sound of piercing the air was constant, energy flying, and the sword body was hit by two more finger winds in succession.

Zhao Ti sneered in his heart; the other party was just thinking from a different perspective, shooting out fingers in advance to block, but the Sunflower Manual had always been formless and traceless—could it be calculated by the other party every time?

His figure moved phantomly, and he drifted out with another sword stroke. The finger wind was indeed deflected, and this time Yun Yun Zhonghe didn't even scream before being slashed diagonally from his throat, blood gushing, and he collapsed to the ground.

This happened in the blink of an eye; figures flashed in the arena, and the people outside didn't see it clearly, hearing the sound of wind and energy moving, and then Yun Yun Zhonghe lay on the ground.

Zhao Ti succeeded with one sword stroke and his body retreated rapidly, reaching a distance of a zhang in the blink of an eye. At this moment, Duan Duan Yanqing had arrived at the place where Yun Yun Zhonghe had fallen.

He saw the other party in a green robe, with a long beard hanging over his chest, and a long scar on his face, from his forehead to his chin, slashed straight down, crimson in color, which was terrifying. A pair of eyes were gloomy like bottomless pits, staring at Zhao Ti without blinking.

The Crocodile God of the South Sea's face was uglier than crying, and he walked over two steps: "Boss..."

The green-robed old man raised a palm to stop him from speaking, his abdomen vibrating, and the sound came from within: "Who is your Excellency?"

Zhao Ti smiled: "Duan Duan Yanqing, the evil-doing one? Don't ask who I am; your Third Brother came to find trouble with me, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

The Crocodile God of the South Sea's face turned green and white, and he opened his mouth and roared: "I was looking for trouble with your lover, not you."

Mu Mu Wanqing's cheeks turned red beneath her veil, secretly thinking that this Yue Yue Laosan was talking nonsense and really deserved to be killed with one sword stroke, but she didn't know why he didn't kill Yue Yue Laosan first, but instead chased Yun Yun Zhonghe.

Zhao Ti wanted to kill a few of them, naturally acting according to their sins; although the Crocodile God of the South Sea was a person who killed the innocent indiscriminately, the other two were even more evil.

Duan Duan Yanqing's abdomen vibrated, using abdominal speech: "Your Excellency has good martial arts; could you be the Young Master South Murong from Jiangnan?"

Zhao Ti smiled and shook his head.

Duan Duan Yanqing said: "Since your Excellency is unwilling to reveal your true identity, then leave your life here to accompany my Second Sister and Fourth Brother!"

He was disabled in his lower body, relying entirely on two long, thin steel staves to walk; these two staves could not only be used as legs but were also his weapons, and his One Finger Zen was practiced specially, capable of being used through the staves.

Zhao Ti curled his lips: "A good dream."

Duan Duan Yanqing's body lunged forward like a strange bird, both staves pointing at Zhao Ti.

Zhao Ti held his sword horizontally, and instantly fought with the other party.

Both of their moves were extremely fast; Zhao Ti's sword was without rule or fixity, far superior to Duan Duan Yanqing's staff technique, but Duan Duan Yanqing's One Finger Zen power could penetrate the staff, making it impossible to guard against. Every time Zhao Ti seemed about to pierce Duan Duan Yanqing with his sword, he had to dodge the other party's finger wind.

Moreover, Duan Duan Yanqing's internal energy was profound; although Zhao Ti's movement was light and phantom, it was also affected to some extent.

In the blink of an eye, forty or fifty moves had been exchanged, and the two were still evenly matched. Mu Mu Wanqing was even more shocked as she watched from behind.

She had never seen such a level of experts fighting; I'm afraid if she went over, she wouldn't need the other party to make a move—just the sweeping of the energy and the brushing of their clothes could injure or kill her.

After another dozen moves, the two had fought over a hundred, when Zhao Ti suddenly delivered three sword strokes, then his body swayed a few times, actually detaching from the battle and sliding backward.

Duan Duan Yanqing was about to chase, when he heard Zhao Ti say: "If I truly wanted to leave, could you catch me?"

Duan Duan Yanqing didn't speak; after a hundred moves, he had a count of the other party's martial arts in his heart, especially the lightness skill and movement. If he wanted to leave, he would be hard-pressed to stop him.

Zhao Ti said: "Duan Duan Yanqing, I'm a bit hungry and thirsty; wait for me to go back and eat and drink something before fighting you again."

Duan Duan Yanqing said: "Where are you going to eat?"

Zhao Ti pointed to the inner courtyard: "If you insist on continuing to pester me, then I'll just leave now."

Duan Duan Yanqing pondered; the Crocodile God of the South Sea said from the side: "Boss, don't be fooled; he went to the courtyard to learn sword technique earlier, came out with a new set of sword techniques, and killed Third Sister and Fourth Brother."

Zhao Ti laughed: "Yue Yue Laosan, this kind of talk can only fool trash like you; what sword technique can be learned in a short time?"

Duan Duan Yanqing said: "Your Excellency's martial arts are so high, I think you won't break your word and leave. I'll wait here for you; how long will it take?"

Zhao Ti looked up; it was already dark, and he said: "When the bright moon is in the middle of the sky."

Duan Duan Yanqing said: "Good."

Zhao Ti smiled slightly and turned to leave. Watching his figure go far away, the Crocodile God of the South Sea said anxiously: "Boss?"

Duan Duan Yanqing glanced at him and said coldly: "If he wants to leave, I can't stop him!"

"This, this..." The Crocodile God of the South Sea widened his eyes: "Then the revenge for Third Sister and Fourth Brother?"

Duan Duan Yanqing said: "Since I want revenge, it won't be at this moment."

The Crocodile God of the South Sea said anxiously: "Boss, if that kid doesn't keep his word and runs away secretly..."

Duan Duan Yanqing said indifferently: "Don't say any more; I also need to adjust my breath and recover!"

Zhao Ti walked back to the hall, his footsteps suddenly somewhat floating. Mu Mu Wanqing saw this: "You, Young Master Zhao, what's wrong?"

Zhao Ti waved his hand: "Internal energy consumed too much; Duan Duan Yanqing was afraid I would run away directly, and he and Yue Yue Laosan couldn't catch up to me, so he agreed to stop the battle. I'll just recover my internal energy; please, Miss Mu, guard me."

Mu Mu Wanqing nodded and said: "Rest assured, Young Master Zhao."

Zhao Ti entered the side room and began to channel the Illusory Yin Qi. This time, the consumption was greater than before, but the recovery was surging, like a long river, and after not long, it actually exceeded the original quantity.

Zhao Ti guided his internal energy toward the Governor Vessel. When that strand of Illusory Yin True Qi reached the intersection of the Conception and Governor Vessels, it didn't hesitate, and without encountering the slightest obstruction, it passed through. Zhao Ti felt his body vibrate, feeling his meridians were connected in all directions, as if opening a new world.

With super-excellent talent in martial arts, practicing wouldn't encounter any bottlenecks; as long as internal energy accumulated profoundly, everything else would fall into place.

Zhao Ti felt the difference in his body from before and murmured: "Super-excellent talent, actually able to easily open the Conception and Governor Vessels!"

Opening the Conception and Governor Vessels allowed True Qi to be projected externally, directly injuring people with internal energy.

He performed a large cycle again, feeling the Illusory Yin True Qi in his body becoming more refined, actually advancing to the fourth level.

The fourth level of the Illusory Yin Finger could project finger Qi in mid-air, injuring people from a distance!

He stood up and went out of the door: "Miss Mu, prepare to leave here."

Mu Mu Wanqing was stunned: "Leave?"

Zhao Ti nodded and looked at the maid: "By the way, this little girl..."

Mu Mu Wanqing said: "She is from Wan Chougu, and this house also belongs to Wan Chougu. My master's sister, Gan Gan Baobao, is my master's friend. If I leave, the people from Wan Chougu outside won't harm her."

Zhao Ti nodded: "That's good." As he said this, he pushed the door and walked out.
