Chapter 127: Battle Leader
If the Eight Gates to Subdue Demons is to develop the potential hidden in the human body and elevate an ordinary warrior to a level that he cannot reach by relying solely on his talent, then the Dragon Yuan is another sublimation based on this secret hidden in the human body.

This sublimation reached another inhuman realm, which was particularly obvious after the "blood violence". Whether it was the green scales on the two people's bodies or the alienation of Cang Liangye's arm, they were all manifestations of this inhuman realm.

Cang Liangye started his research from the moment he obtained the Dragon Essence. He tried many ways to actively deepen this alienation and even tried some development methods like the Eight Gates to Subdue the Demons, but in the end, he failed without exception.

Whether it is the Eight Gates to Subdue Demons or other development methods, they are all aimed at the development of the human body, while Long Yuan's "violent blood alienation" is another structure. The development method targeting the human body under alienation is not only not significantly enhanced, but it is also a pipe dream to want to deepen this alienation.

Therefore, Cang Liangye came to the conclusion that the only way to deepen this alienation was to collect other dragon essences, and if one wanted to see the 'perfect form' of this alienation, it could only be done when the seven stars of the Blue Dragon were gathered together and the master of the destiny, the true dragon, appeared.

This is almost an impossible task.

So Cang Liangye gave up his unrealistic idea, and many years passed in a flash. It was not until today that he saw an impossible scene in Wei Mingqi.

He is transforming into a dragon——

In the blazing rage, his body was changing every moment. His green scales became greener and more lush, and they opened and closed slightly as if they had vitality, emitting light steam.

His eyes became more and more dazzling like flowing molten gold, and they seemed to be developing in the direction of vertical pupils. Even scarlet horns grew on his forehead, sparkling more and more in the moonlight.

Correspondingly, his fists became heavier and faster, like endless waves, one higher than the other.

Under the continuous waves, anyone who fails to knock him down in the first place can only experience his current feeling of becoming increasingly powerless, and have to watch himself being broken bit by bit.

at last.

As his injuries reached a critical point, Cang Liangye's punches and feet were slow, and he seized the opportunity. A "green whip" that was so fast that it left a trail of afterimages came in front of him and hit his chest, blasting him away.

boom--

Half of the deep pit collapsed, and Cang Liangye's body floated on the fields like water for dozens of times before falling far away to the ground.

"cough!"

After spitting out a mouthful of thick blue-red blood, Cang Liangye stood up and took a few breaths before raising his old eyes to look forward.

Under the moonlight, Wei Mingqi, who had become stronger, walked out of the edge of the pit. At this time, half of his long hair was snow-white, swaying gently in the night wind. He also had a tail as thick as an arm that kept swinging behind him, causing dust to fly behind him.

"call--"

A stream of white mist as sharp as an arrow spurted out of his mouth, and the pair of horns on his forehead, which were already taller than his head, were so red that they seemed to be dripping with blood.

Although it has such an inhuman appearance, it does not look ferocious at all. Instead, it is dignified and beautiful, like a bronze work of art.

cool.

It had been a long time since Wei Mingqi had fought with such real force and full firepower since he had fought with Jin Liancheng. Now that his mind was clear, every cell in his body felt comfortable.

As for the tail behind the buttocks——

Let’s think about this kind of question later.

"Mingqi!"

Xie Beiling's voice came from a distant tree:

"There are soldiers!"

"..."

In fact, there was no need for anyone to remind him, as Wei Mingqi had already seen the faint glow of fire from numerous torches in the direction of the Beijing Camp.

This kind of first-level Kui, especially a Kui battle from an external family, makes too much noise and it is hard not to attract other people's attention.

But it doesn’t matter.

"Wow—"

A bluish-white falcon covered in black spots landed in front of Cang Liangye, spreading its wings and intimidating the "little dragon man" that was approaching.

Is this the message that this thing reported in the sky before?

Wei Mingqi looked at it for a few seconds, and just when he was thinking of giving the "bastard" a snack tomorrow morning, he saw the former suddenly flap its wings and fly into the night sky.

This is not being righteous—

Wei Mingqi raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, then walked to the old man who was half-sitting on the ground and looking at him coldly, stepped on his shoulder and knocked him to the ground.

"My lover is over there."

Wei Mingqi rubbed his shoulder with his heel and sneered:
"Just hold it for me, aren't you crazy?"

"..."

Cang Liangye, whose nickname was 'Hunter Pride' when he was young, was naturally a proud and arrogant person. Countless people, both those who should have been killed and those who should not have been killed, died at his hands.

But as the saying goes, things change over time, and people grow old. It is understandable that the 'Hunter of Prodigies' was hunted by the 'Prodigies' in the end. He had been mentally prepared for this since early on.

"You are not as good as me in this respect. You talk so much nonsense before killing someone."

Cang Liangye spoke slowly, with a hint of impatience:

"Your nemesis, Xiao Lihe, is so much stronger than you. No wonder you will be defeated by others in the future."

"..."

Has this old man ever seen Li He?
Wei Mingqi was curious and dissatisfied with his attitude. He stepped harder with his foot and smiled more deeply as he said, "You are being very open and aboveboard now. What's wrong? Aren't you afraid that I will kill your grandson?"

Cang Liangye on the ground snorted twice and said, "I knew before we met that my grandson is not in your hands."

It seems that this old man has been secretly observing him for several days?

"Then why are you asking me for someone——"

"If not you, who else can I look for?"

Cang Liangye is really stubborn even at old age, he said in a cold and hard voice:
"The man who took my grandson away asked me to find you. Even if my grandson is not in your hands, you are definitely related to that man."

"..."

So this is the logical chain.

Someone held his grandson hostage and asked him to come find him. Old Deng didn't check who that person was, or maybe he didn't find out clearly, so he just came to cause trouble for him.

Especially after secretly observing him for a few days and being sure that his grandson was no longer in his hands, Wei Mingqi still resolutely allowed him to be used as a gun. He didn't know how to evaluate him.

It must be said that the person behind this really understands this old guy.

Inexplicably, Wei Mingqi felt a little jealous of the person behind the scenes. Although he already had a vague idea, the two of them did not communicate deeply and many details were still unclear.

That is to say...

Seeing the fire getting closer and the sound of galloping horses coming to his ears, Wei Mingqi picked up Cang Liangye on the ground, first stretched out his hands to seal all his acupoints, and then walked towards the direction of Xie Beiling and others behind him.

Not close yet.

"Wow!"

"Mr. Wei, put on your clothes—"

"..."

At this moment, as his emotions gradually calmed down, the "alienation" on Wei Mingqi's body also disappeared, returning to his most original naked form, and the same was true for Cang Liangye in his hand, with his dry old flesh exposed to the air.

"You little bastard..."

Cang Liangye, who had never thought that he would have to show his buttocks in front of a group of girls before his death, felt that his reputation had been ruined and could only close his eyes helplessly. In the end, the group returned to the city. Wei Mingqi took Cang Liangye to squat at the corner of the city wall for a long time before they received the clothes thrown to them by Xie Beiling and the others.

It's so embarrassing——

Wei Mingqi thought about the scene of walking the bird at night just now, and angrily kicked Cang Liangye beside him and said, "It's all your fault. I will tie you to the flagpole and show you to everyone tomorrow morning."

"You tie it."

When there were only two of them, Cang Liangye acted particularly single:
"When I show you this to the public, I can tell the people of the whole city how powerful your thing is. Who knows, there may be another outstanding person in the martial arts world in the future."

"..."

It doesn't matter if Na Kui is not worthy of the title, but with such a title on his head, Xie Beiling might sever the master-disciple relationship with him the next day.

But Wei Mingqi also didn't believe that he couldn't control Lao Deng.

So after returning home, Wei Mingqi threw Cang Liangye, whose acupoints were pressed and he could not move, into the firewood pile in the kitchen. To prevent him from making noises, he also pressed the mute point, preparing to let him enjoy a good night there.

Despite being treated like this by a famous figure in the martial arts world, none of the women in his family felt sorry for him. Even Xie Beiling, who was the softest-hearted, pretended not to see it.

Until early the next morning.

After sleeping all night with Shi Fengque, Song Lingyu, who was ignorant of the outside world, got up early before dawn. After yawning and washing up, she went to the kitchen, ready to make breakfast while everyone was still asleep.

It was still dark at that time, and Song Lingyu, who had only lit an oil lamp in the kitchen, did not see the black mass on the firewood pile until she added water and rice to the pot and was about to add firewood to light the pot, when she felt the skinny old man on the firewood pile.

"ah--"

The girl was suddenly startled and subconsciously picked up a wooden stick and poked it over.

"..."

"It's you!"

When she saw who was on the pile of firewood, Song Lingyu's eyes widened immediately. She was on guard against the old man who was blinking in pain after being poked in the buttocks. When she saw that he did not move, she raised her stick and said angrily:

"You wicked old man! I treated you to a meal and tea, and I gave you the last bit of money I had, but you still lied to me and turned a blind eye to my kindness, and you murdered my young master. I'll beat you up--"

Bang Bang Bang!
The small wooden stick hit the old man's head a few more times. Seeing that he still didn't resist but just kept blinking, Song Lingyu knew that someone had pressed his acupoints. As for who that person was -

Thinking of the vague noises she heard while sleeping last night, Song Lingyu knew it must be the powerful young master.

He captured Gong Kui Cang Liangye in just one night. He is indeed a remarkable man who made the entire martial arts world tremble and even made people compete to throw dirty water on him!

Now that the 'chief criminal' has been brought to justice, Song Lingyu, feeling relieved, snorted and turned back to light the fire and cook, while busying herself, she advised:

"Don't think that I will unblock your acupuncture points just by winking at me. It's impossible. I stand on the side of Young Master Yu Niang."

"..."

The old man ignored her and continued to wink at her.

"It's no use blinking. You've offended the young master. Instead of begging me, you might as well ask the young master to show some mercy. Otherwise, with the young master's violent temper, he'll kill you and then throw you into the stove the next time."

"..."

The old man blinked faster and faster, and his face turned red.

"It's useless - you have so many little tricks up your sleeve. When the young master wakes up, I will complain to him. I will give you a hard time and you will behave yourself."

The girl spoke cleverly, and the guilt she felt for leading the 'bad old man' yesterday faded a little, and her true nature was also revealed:
"Let you lie to me. I, Song Lingyu, hate others the most in my life - huh? What's that smell -"

"..."

On the pile of firewood next to him, Cang Liangye's expression relaxed, and his heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally died at this moment.

After sniffing with her small nose, Song Lingyu finally turned her gaze to him. After a moment, her expression changed for a while, and then -

"Ah You--"

"..."

"Little Lord!"

Wei Mingqi, who had just come out of the house and had not put on his coat yet, saw the girl running to him from the kitchen with tears in her eyes, pulling his sleeve and pointing at the kitchen.

"He--he--that bad old man--"

She was so angry that she couldn't even speak clearly. She stamped her feet and said angrily:

"That's so bad. He peed on our firewood—"

"..."

Wei Mingqi initially thought that Cang Liangye had had enough and was causing trouble again, but he felt relieved after hearing this. He walked out of the kitchen with an awkward smile on his face, and said in a mocking tone:

"Is it okay, Lao Deng? After a fight with someone, I can't hold my urine the next day?"

"..."

Cang Liangye, who was curled up on the firewood pile, twitched his face when he heard this, and then ignored him and closed his eyes.

There's nothing strange about it.

Wu Kui is old but still has to get up at night. Do you want to embarrass him? This kid's skills are not good enough.

Seeing that he was still arrogant after lying in the woodshed all night, Wei Mingqi didn't get angry. He carried him to the yard to dry slowly, then cleaned out the dirty firewood in the house and let Song Lingyu continue cooking.

Having a sensible little girl in the family is equivalent to having an extra labor force to be used. Wei Mingqi rarely has time to relax in the early morning, but he can't help feeling guilty about exploiting child laborers.

"Ring language——"

Wei Mingqi watched the girl chopping vegetables skillfully, and said in a deep voice like a life mentor: "I haven't asked you before, what did you and your sister originally want to do in Beijing this time?"

If the child feels that it is not good to be here, he can discuss with Yu Qing and find that working in Saixi Mansion is also a good option.

Song Lingyu was suddenly asked this question by the young master leaning against the door. She was nervous and said with a slightly cautious tone:
"Of course it's to help the young master."

"Huh."

Wei Mingqi waved his hand and said, "Don't say these empty words. Tell me the truth that I like to hear."

"...Oh, it's for Yu Niang."

The little girl lowered her head and said, "Before Yu Niang came to Beijing, she left us outside. Lingyin and I wanted to find her, but we didn't dare to come until we heard from her. Until this time, the young master said to send people to Beijing--"

It turned out to be the case.

Wei Mingqi looked thoughtful, thinking that Yu Qing did this because he was afraid that if he got into danger in Beijing, it would implicate the two sisters, so he left them outside.

"understood."

Come back and talk to that woman.

Wei Mingqi waved his hand to signal her to continue working: "Then you should follow her from now on. I will leave Beijing in two days. If there are no accidents on the way, I will definitely be able to bring your sister back."

"Thank you, young master."

After reassuring the girl, Wei Mingqi turned his attention to the old man lying dead in the courtyard.

Before leaving Beijing, I must take care of this old man.
