Chapter 22: Murder and arson, and then being recruited [Seeking follow-up reading]
The merciless words instantly tore through Song Chaozhen's mask, and murderous intent burst out from his turbid yellow eyes: "You bastard! Do you really think we can't do anything to you? If it weren't for Lord Wan backing you up, I could kill you a thousand times!"
To some people, these words sound like humiliation.
"Then come."
Wei Mingqi's dragon spine slowly straightened, and he started to challenge: "If you can kill me today and walk out of here, I guarantee that Wanren Mountain will only say that I died in vain after knowing it."
"..."
Song Chaozhen's knuckles were clenched until they made a crack after being stepped on and humiliated by a young bull. If it were somewhere else, he would have crushed Wei Mingqi's bones one by one, but this was a government office and he was wearing an official's uniform.
No matter what you say about this kid, it is true that he has a connection with Wanren Mountain behind him. At this juncture, no one wants to be targeted by the 'Regent', so he came to the door this time with force first and courtesy later.
Unfortunately, those people in the martial arts world are a bunch of cowards. It has been a day since the news was released, and except for sporadic sneak attacks on the patrolling Yulongfu, no one dared to attack and kill Wei Mingqi.
Snapped!
Suddenly, a firework exploded outside the window, rising into the sky with a whoosh, forming a four-spirit pattern. Then, a commotion came from the direction of the door, and the guards' shouts could be vaguely heard:
"This is the West Palace! How dare you charge into the government office!"
"There are too many people, please retreat first - go out and release the flowers!"
"..."
The shouts of killing are getting closer and closer.
"Go first!"
The first one to react was Taohuayan, who came up and grabbed Wei Mingqi's hand: "Those who dare to rush into the government office are not good people, I think they are coming for you!"
Before Wei Mingqi could open his mouth, his body suddenly tensed up, and then he stretched out his palm behind Peach Blossom Eyes without even looking.
boom--
The sound of the air explosion was so loud that it made one ear tingle. Wei Mingqi took the palm strike and kicked Peach Blossom Eye to the side regardless of his numb palm. Then he opened all five gates and punched Song Chaozhen with both fists at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye!
The latter was a master of the heterodox ways, practicing the most extreme hard-body skills. He had been immersed in boxing and kicking for a lifetime and had already mastered the art to perfection. Although Wei Mingqi was not inferior in strength, his technique was too crude. After only ten moves, he was found an opening by Wei Mingqi and kicked in the waist.
Deng Deng Deng!
Wei Mingqi retreated dozens of steps, and the powerful force under his feet loosened the tightly fitted bluestone slabs.
"You bastard, God wants you to die today!"
Song Chaozhen did not pursue the enemy, but fought with great enthusiasm. His long gray hair was loose, and he laughed loudly: "Tomorrow the whole martial arts world will know that Wei Mingqi was killed in the government office by righteous men. By then, you have a safe journey. I will report to Lord Wan and lead a team to avenge you!"
"..."
Wei Mingqi looked down with a grim expression. The exquisite and gorgeous Fish Dragon Buluo was cracked by a kick. He had obviously wanted to wear this to cosplay for his master in the evening.
"Old bird."
Wei Mingqi tore open the bula and forced a smile: "If I can't peel off your skin today, I will retire from the underworld and sell my head as a barbarian."
The man with peach blossom eyes stamped his feet anxiously and said, "Wei Mingqi! Don't get angry with him! The outsiders are coming here soon! No matter how good you are at fighting, you only have two arms! "
"Shut up! You traitorous bastard!"
Song Chaozhen looked at him coldly: "Today you will go with him to meet your grandfather who sold his daughter for fame!"
boom--
There was a whistling of wind from the side, and Song Chaozhen quickly turned his head and raised his hands to block the extremely domineering city-bombing cannon. But even though he was mentally prepared, he still let out a muffled groan when it was hit. Even though he had a body of iron, he felt as if he was hit hard by an anvil hammer.
Boom boom boom!
The iron tower-like figure retreated three steps, leaving spider web patterns on the bluestone slab with each step.
"You kid opened the Three Evil Gates?" Song Chaozhen stopped and covered his trembling left arm. He then looked at Wei Mingqi who was in a strange state in front of him and said:
"You do have some brute strength, but your brain is made of tendon meat. You'll be dead today!"
Opening the first five gates of the Eight Gates to Subdue Demons would at most cause one to lose strength for a while, but the last three gates, the Gate of Shock, the Gate of Injury, and the Gate of Death, are more dangerous than the last one. Each time one is opened, it will cause great damage to one's vitality, especially the last gate, the Gate of Death. The person who opens it will have a chance of death.
The blush on Wei Mingqi's skin had faded at this time, and his pores were tightly closed. He looked normal, but only his bloodshot eyes could tell how abnormal his condition was at this moment.
With the six gates open, Wei Mingqi felt that all the strength in his body was surging like the tide of a river, and even his six senses were extremely clear. He was in such a rare state that he didn't bother to talk nonsense. He flew over like a kite and punched Song Chaozhen. In his eyes, the opponent's previously experienced and swift punches were slowed down by more than one frame rate. Wei Mingqi was even immersed in it, and instinctively countered the moves to replenish himself.
The two men frequently exchanged blows and moves at an extremely fast speed. In just a few breaths, they had already dealt hundreds of punches to each other. Unconsciously, a thin layer of sweat even appeared on Song Chaozhen's forehead.
Muscles become more sore,
The breath becomes hotter,
My fist became more and more painful and swollen.
Once upon a time, Song Chaozhen believed that he could at least rank among the top three in the world in terms of boxing and kicking, and his skills had even reached mastery. If he had not been unable to develop his own martial arts, he would even be able to be crowned the best after Wanren Mountain!
But the appearance of this kid in front of him seemed to tell him that his era had ended before it even began. Obviously, at the beginning, the opponent was just a rough guy with brute force, and he could easily defeat him, but after the Three Evil Gates were opened, he could keep up with his punches, and even became more and more skilled as the fight went on.
monster,
If a monster can't be killed with one punch, then he can only wait to be beaten to death by him.
We can't go on fighting like this. The opponent's aptitude and talent are already a martial arts genius at the level of Wan Renshan. If we keep feeding him moves like this, I'm afraid that the people who come later will be killed by him one by one.
Having made up his mind, Song Chaozhen stopped stubbornly and used his flexible steps to deal with Wei Mingqi. The latter soon noticed this and said sarcastically, "Is this possible, Master Song? Are you the Suzaku Envoy or the Xuanwu Envoy?"
"..."
Song Chaozhen kept his mouth shut and did not answer. He was determined to drag it out. No matter who came or when the Eight Gates started to counterattack, the final victory would belong to him.
Whoosh whoosh—
Soon, orderly footsteps were heard at the door.
Song Chaozhen first thought that many palace guards had arrived, and was thinking about how to accuse Wei Mingqi of a crime and send people to surround and kill him, but when he turned around, he saw that the people who came were dressed in different clothes, but they all had a ferocious aura.
They look like a group of desperadoes.
"My fellow heroes—"
Song Chaozhen did his best to force Wei Mingqi back, and then jumped into the crowd: "The one in front is Wei Mingqi, the Lord of Chaotian Palace! This man's devilish nature has just begun to emerge, and he treats the officials of the West Palace like pigs and dogs and kills them at will! I also hate this beast deeply, everyone, don't talk to him about the moral code of the martial arts world, let's fight together!"
"..."
The group of martial artists looked at each other, not only did they not move, but their eyes were full of confusion, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became awkward.
"you--"
"He is an official, the commander of the Four-Arch Suzaku. Since you have come here to obey my orders, you should know what I want you to do."
Not far away, Wei Mingqi gave a creepy smile to Song Chaozhen and the Chaotian Palace people whose faces were becoming increasingly ugly:
"If you want to join the government, how can you do it without some 'merits'? Have you ever heard of the saying that murder and arson will lead to amnesty?"
"..."
At this time, many people have heard the smile.
This young master is to my liking.
I would like to say Happy New Year's Eve to everyone in advance and wish you all great success in both career and love in the new year.
