The Counterattack of the Villains

In the northwest corner of Xingqing Mansion, a magnificent city tower rises into the sky. Behind the city towers, there are many magnificent palaces built on top of each other. The roofs of the palaces are paved with glazed tiles, and they look magnificent.

This is the Xixia Palace. After Li Mu sneaked in, he did not fly from the top of the palace, because it was no different from walking into the palace in a swagger.

The top of the palace is a key defense target, and there are countless masters hiding among the eaves and brackets.

Li Mu walked freely in the Xixia Palace, looking for the target he needed.

Unfortunately, after walking around for a long time, no matter the patrolling guards or the maids, they were all in groups, and there were very few people alone.

After walking around for nearly half an hour, I finally met two palace maids and eunuchs who were enjoying themselves behind a rockery in a garden.

Li Mu pointed out the acupuncture points of the two people with Yiyang, then stepped forward to control the two people with the soul-moving technique, and asked where the imperial concubine's palace was.

After arriving outside Li Qiu Shui's palace, Li Mu no longer restrained his aura, but instead used the Nine Yang Magic Technique with all his strength, causing the true energy to surge endlessly.

In this case, ordinary warriors would not be able to sense it, but a master of Li Qiu Shui's level would definitely be able to sense it.

Sure enough, after a few breaths, a white shadow flew out of the palace and fell into the courtyard in front of the palace.

Li Qiushui's face was covered with white silk, so his face could not be seen clearly, but judging from his figure and eyebrows, he looked about forty years old, and his features were extremely beautiful.

"call"

Just when she appeared in the yard, a burst of energy suddenly roared over.

What made her expression change drastically was that the energy actually turned around and flew towards her from the side.

With a flick of her sleeves, the energy that hit her suddenly dissipated.

Although this energy was not weak, it was not enough in front of her. What really made her change her mind was the meaning of that energy.

"White Rainbow Palm Power, who are you, Wu Yazi?" Li Qiushui stared at a rockery and asked slowly.

Her voice was soft and melodious, but her words contained extremely complex meanings.

Li Mu walked out from behind the rockery with a faint smile on his face and said, "He is half my master."

That white rainbow palm power was just used by Li Mu to say hello and did not output much power.

If Li Qiushui is frightened by excessive force and refuses to leave the palace with him, it will be in vain.

Seeing Li Mu's appearance, Li Qiushui said with admiration: "With your appearance, you are indeed qualified to be his apprentice, but why are you half?"

Li Mu did not answer her words, but said: "This is not the place to talk. I would like to ask my uncle to take a step to speak."

After saying this, he didn't hesitate at all, turned around and jumped up, with his toes a little on the rockery, and his whole body flew into the air.

Li Qiushui opened his mouth, but before he had time to speak, he snorted dissatisfiedly and also launched Qinggong and flew up.

Originally, she wanted Li Mu to enter her palace for a chat. After all, the palace was her territory and she had the home field advantage.

But Li Mu's actions did not give her a choice.

However, the information revealed in Li Mu's words made her not afraid of Li Mu.

He is just Wuyazi's apprentice. No matter how high his martial arts skills are, how high can he be?

Out of confidence in herself and being more concerned about Wu Yazi's news, she chose to follow Li Mu.

After Li Mu flew up into the air, he did not fall down. Instead, when he ran out of strength, he raised his foot and stepped in the air, and his whole body flew forward again.

This is a Qinggong method that he has figured out by himself. The true energy is emitted from the Yongquan point on the soles of the feet and condenses under the feet without dissipating. He uses it to step forward as if his feet are firmly planted on the ground.

The inspiration for this Qing Gong method comes from the "Jin Yan Gong" Qing Gong taught by Quanzhen in later generations.

Jin Yan Gong is a light skill that allows you to step in the air. A master of it can walk thirty-seven steps in the air with just one breath of Qi.

Li Mu didn't know exactly how Jin Yan Gong worked, but since there was such a technique, it meant that stepping into the air could be achieved.

After many attempts, he finally created this method, which in a sense can be regarded as a way of traveling through the void, and he named it "Swinging to the Clouds Technique".

Soar up ninety thousand miles, and ascend to the clouds with empty steps.

Of course, this is just the intention of this technique, it does not mean that he can really rise to 90,000 miles with this.???

With his current skill, he can step into the air sixteen times with just one breath of Qi.

But the biggest difference from Jin Yan Gong is that Jin Yan Gong walks in the air.

Even if one step can cover a distance of half a foot, thirty-seven steps can only cover a distance of 18 or 18 feet, which is only about sixty meters.

However, Li Mu's "Swinging to the Cloud" skill is not about stepping in the air, but about using force to fly.

Every step he takes is equivalent to him performing a lifting technique.

With each step, you can travel more than ten feet. After sixteen steps, you can reach almost two hundred feet, which is more than a mile.

This technique has very high requirements on the quality of Qi.

The depth of internal strength only determines the number of volley steps and the distance traveled by each step.

Whether it can be practiced successfully depends on the quality of the Qi.

Of course, there is also a lower limit requirement for the depth of internal strength. If you don't have enough internal strength, you cannot achieve it.

The so-called internal strength is deep, deep represents quantity, and thick represents quality.

Currently, only Li Mu, Ruan Xingzhu, and Xiao Feng are able to use the Changkong Sword Sect freely.

The quality of Ruan Xingzhu's true energy before was just difficult to condense further, but it was not insufficient.

The lower quality limit of Beiming Zhenqi itself is already very high, so it can naturally be cultivated.

The basic quality of Jiuyin Zhenqi is also sufficient, but it requires at least twenty years of accumulation of skill to master it.

In a few years, Ruan Xiong and Wang Xiaoer, who were the first to start practicing Jiuyin Divine Skill, will almost complete it.

While flying through the sky, Li Mu looked back and saw Li Qiu Shui walking in the air more than ten feet behind him. Apparently the Xiaoyao Sect also had a similar method.

Perhaps this is a method that can be basically mastered once the skill and quality of Qi reaches a certain level.

In fact, the original supreme skill of the Xiaoyao sect was called "Xiaoyao Yufeng" (it existed in the original serialized version and was ghostwritten by Ni Kuang. It was deleted by Mr. Jin because it was beyond the scope of martial arts).

Unfortunately, this skill is too profound and mysterious, and no one can master it except Xiaoyaozi himself.

He had no choice but to split it up and simplify it, forming the Beiming Shen Gong, Xiao Wuxiang Gong, and Bahuang Liuhe Sovereign Gong.

Li Qiushui's Qinggong method naturally comes from "Xiaoyao Yufeng".

Li Qiu Shui also had nearly seventy years of accumulated skills, which he cultivated on his own rather than by absorbing other people's internal energy.

It should be that Xiaoyaozi had already informed them of the relevant situation when he taught the three martial arts techniques to their senior sisters and brothers.

Precisely because the Xiaoyao Sect also had this method, Li Qiushui was not surprised that Li Mu also had the ability to fly through the air.

She was just slightly surprised that Li Mu had such profound skills at such a young age.

Then she thought of a possibility, and her face became very ugly, with a hint of sadness and resentment.

Apparently she thought that Li Mu's skill came from Wu Yazi's teaching.

The two people flew through the air one after another. Although many imperial guards below noticed this situation, they could only watch.

The position of the two of them was too high, and they were simply out of reach. Even if they occasionally came down to take a breather on the roof of the palace, they would be gone as soon as they touched it, and they had no time to react.

Both of them were extremely fast. In just a few minutes, they covered several miles and flew out of the north gate of Xingqing Mansion.

After leaving the city, Li Mu still didn't stop and swept straight several miles away from the north gate before landing in a wilderness and turned around to look at Li Qiushui who was following closely.

She landed five feet away in front of Li Mu, adjusted her inner breath a little, and then slowly said: "Tell me, what is your relationship with Wu Yazi?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of clothes flying behind her.

Huo Ran turned around and looked, only to see a beautiful woman in an emerald green dress flying from the diagonal thorn and landing a few feet behind her, looking at her with an unkind expression.

When Li Mu and Li Qiu Shui flew out of the city, Ruan Xingzhu immediately spotted them and chased after them.

Only then did Li Mu speak: "This is Senior Wu Yazi's close disciple and my wife. That's why I said that he is half of my master."

Li Qiu Shui turned around and stared at Li Mu Dao: "So you are not a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, then your skills..."

Li Mu said: "Don't worry, I got this skill by myself. My wife's skill was indeed passed down by senior Wu Yazi, but only half of it was passed on."

"Senior Wuyazi is still alive and well. His injuries have been healed by me. He is now living a happy life in the Vulture Palace at Piaomiao Peak."

As soon as he said these words, Li Qiu Shui's aura suddenly became extremely cold. She gritted her teeth with cold eyes and said, "You said he is in Lingjiu Palace?"

Li Mu said with a half-smile: "Yes, next year will be the big day for Senior Tong Lao to return to old age, so he will naturally go to protect her."

"But Senior Wuyazi's skills have been greatly damaged, so I'm afraid I won't be able to stop you. As disciples and disciples-in-law, we, the juniors, naturally have to do our best."

Li Qiushui said with an extremely ugly face: "So, you lured me out of the palace because you wanted to kill me?"

Ruan Xingzhu, who was behind her, snorted coldly: "Not only did you not follow the rules of women, you humiliated my master in every possible way, and you also collaborated with Ding Chunqiu to kill my master."

"Fortunately, he was blessed with good fortune. He fell off a cliff but did not die. However, he became disabled and suffered for more than ten years."

"Today we, husband and wife, will seek justice for Master."

"Seeking justice? Haha..." Li Qiushui chuckled, then his eyes became a little absent-minded, and murmured: "You don't know anything at all, you don't know anything..."

After saying this, she suddenly took small steps without any warning, her body flashed and she approached Ruan Xingzhu in the blink of an eye, and slapped her heart with a slap.

Ruan Xingzhu has been practicing Xiaoyao sect martial arts for more than ten years and has plenty of combat experience.

She knew that dodging was of little use when facing Li Qiu Shui, because Bai Hong's palm power was as straight as he wanted and followed him like a shadow, making it difficult to avoid him.

If you choose to avoid the wall, you will lose the opportunity in vain.

Therefore, she did not dodge or dodge, but faced Li Qiushui's palm with one palm.

"Snapped"

The two palms struck each other, and the true energy collided, making a crisp sound, and the force of the shock caused the two of them to fly backwards.

Li Qiushui was surprised to find that the other party's skill was actually deeper than his own, but his true energy was weaker than his own.

But it's not like the kind of Qi that is accumulated entirely by absorbing other people's internal energy. What's going on?

No wonder she couldn't figure it out. In her opinion, Ruan Xingzhu's skill came from Wu Yazi, but it was only half of Wu Yazi's skill. She should be enough to suppress the opponent.

But she didn't know that Ruan Xingzhu had absorbed other people's energy. Logically speaking, the quality of her energy should be very low, and it should never be as thick as it is now.

This is the benefit of absorbing Jiumozhi's inner strength.

Originally, the foundation of Ruan Xingzhu's internal strength was the six successful powers passed down to her by Wu Yazi.

After that, she absorbed Xiao Yuanshan's internal energy, causing the quality of her Beiming Qi to be diluted.

But Jiumozhi's internal power is pure Xiao Wuxiang Gong.

In this way, the quality of her Qi has been restored. In her current state, the quality of her Qi is not as good as those that were completely cultivated by herself, but is much higher than that of Duan Yu who was completely absorbed.

Therefore, even if the quality of his Qi is not as good as Li Qiu Shui's, his skill is deeper than hers, which is equivalent to a hundred years of accumulation. Only then can he be on par with her and not fall behind.

As long as Ruan Xingzhu no longer absorbs the alien Qi in the future, but instead devotes himself to practicing hard, the quality of the Qi will be improved.

Although it will never be possible to reach the level of complete self-study, it will not be too far off.

There is no problem in ensuring long-term youth and longevity, but they don't live as long as the three happy elders, Li Mu and Xiao Feng.

After Li Qiu Shui was repulsed, Li Mu's Six Meridians Sword Qi also attacked from behind.

Feeling the sharp intention behind him, Li Qiushui stepped lightly on the waves and dodged away.

However, what Li Mu was wielding at this moment was the Shaoze Sword, which had similar palm power to Bai Hong.

The moment she avoided it, the sword energy turned around and chased after her.

Li Qiushui waved her sleeve with her backhand to disperse the sword energy, but a small hole appeared on her sleeve.

"This is... the Six Meridians Divine Sword?" Li Qiushui's pupils narrowed slightly and he said solemnly: "You are from the Duan family in Dali."

Li Mudao: "I'm in Yanqing, the lower section, and I'll learn from Uncle Li's clever moves."

He spoke in his mouth, but his hands did not stop. Facing Li Qiu Shui, he did not hold back at all. The Six Meridian Divine Sword shot out one after another, and soon a situation was formed where the six meridians came out simultaneously and the sword energy formed a formation.

At this time, no matter how Li Qiu Shui dodges, he cannot completely avoid the attack of sword energy, and he will have to face at least two sword energy at any time.

But if you don't dodge, you will have to fight hard with three or four sword energies.

The greatest threat to her is the Shaoshang Sword and the Zhongchong Sword. One of these two swords is powerful and explosive, the other is highly condensed. Both are extremely lethal swords.

She had to give priority to avoiding these two sword energies and resisting the other sword energies.

However, Li Mu is also proficient in Lingbo Weibu, and he also knows a wonderful and incomparable movement technique.

If she wants to get close to the opponent and fight at close range, the Six Meridians Divine Sword will not be able to exert its power and cannot do so.

Facing her, Li Mu had too great an advantage.

Not to mention her skills are deeper than hers. Except for the "Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique", she knows everything Li Mu knows, but she doesn't know what Li Mu knows.

Just one Li Mu had put her under a lot of pressure, and Ruan Xingzhu used his white rainbow palm power to find every opportunity to harass her.

The couple has worked together for many years and has a tacit understanding. Ruan Xingzhu's white rainbow palm power not only does not interfere with the Six Meridians Divine Sword, but also plays an unparalleled supporting role.

At this time, Li Qiushui was suppressed by the couple and could only parry, but had no power to fight back.

If she faced either of the couple alone, even if she couldn't win, she would at least be able to fight.

But in a one versus two situation, she had no chance of winning.

Even if she is proficient in martial arts and can ensure that she does not lose herself and is not defeated by an inadvertent attack, she will still be consumed by her life and death in the end.

Suddenly, white light flickered in Li Qiushui's palm, turning into a curtain of light in front of him.

When the Six Meridians Sword Qi and Bai Hong Palm come into contact with the white light, they are not blocked and offset, but are scattered by the white light.

Li Mu looked around and saw a dagger no longer than a foot long in Li Qiushui's palm.

The dagger seemed to be made of crystal. The blade was transparent and extremely sharp. After being infused with true energy, it glowed with a gleaming white light, making it even more sharp.

This is exactly the dagger Li Qiushui used to cut off the fingers and left leg of the Tianshan boy's grandmother in the original plot.

The world of Tianlong rarely mentions any magical weapons, but this dagger can definitely be regarded as a magical weapon.

If you hold it in your own hand and use the special skill of sword light, the power of the sword light will be greatly increased.

The lethality of the sword light not only depends on the depth of one's own true energy, but also the quality of the weapon used to display the sword light itself has a great influence.

As long as it is an artifact that can conduct true energy, it can be used to display sword light.

But how can a wooden sword or a bamboo sword be compared with an iron sword? And how can an ordinary iron sword be compared with a black iron sword?

The hardness of crystal is 7HM. The so-called fine steel in this era has a hardness of only about 5HM at most, let alone iron.

The lethality of crystal daggers is much higher than that of iron swords.

Li Mu was thinking about the crystal dagger, but Li Qiu Shui had already decided to give up.

After protecting herself with the crystal dagger, she began to move towards the city gate.

As long as she reaches the city gate and alerts the soldiers guarding the city, she can escape.
