Chapter 422: White Clothes Under the Moon (Part )
"Tease me?"
Qin Ku slashed at the air with his knife, and couldn't help but get angry and humiliated. He paused and immediately stomped a hole in the ground. His huge body was as agile and nimble as a dragon entering the sea. He flew backwards in an instant, flipped several times in the air, and a silver light struck the east wall like a meteor.
At this moment, the man in white was standing leisurely on the courtyard wall.
"He remained calm in the face of danger and reacted quite quickly."
The man in white was commenting on Qin Ku's martial arts with great interest, but before he could finish his words, a fierce sword wind broke through the air and headed straight for his face.
In an instant, the entire courtyard wall collapsed, the bricks, stones and gravel shattered into pieces, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a pile of ruins.
However, at some point, the man in white had already reached the west side of the courtyard, smiling at Qin Ku who had missed his target again.
"Are you a monkey? You only know how to wriggle around. Do you have the guts to fight me openly?"
The man in white shook his head indifferently and said, "With your slow movements, how can you be qualified to fight me?"
Hearing this, Qin Ku glared and shouted unconvincedly: "If I don't show some real skills, do you think I'm a vegetarian?"
"No!" the man in white joked, "Looking at your fat body and big belly, I guess you don't like to eat vegetarian food on weekdays."
"I guess you know the stuff!"
At this time, Qin Ku was no longer in a hurry to chase the man in white, but stood in the ruins, shaking his big round head and stretching his limbs, as if he was relaxing his muscles and bones.
"Xunyi, just rest aside and watch how I teach him a lesson." Before Liu Xunyi could speak, Qin Ku said firmly, "If you can't even deal with a small thief, I won't go to the martial arts conference. Get out of here as soon as possible to avoid embarrassment."
The man in white seemed to agree with Qin Ku's remarks. He kept nodding his head with a serious and "upright" look. In Qin Ku's eyes, this was nothing but a provocation. The more he looked at it, the angrier he became.
Liu Xunyi looked at the quarreling enemies, not knowing what to say. Due to Qin Ku's face, he could not make any rash moves, so he jumped onto the treetop and watched the show leisurely.
"Fatty, are you done?" the man in white urged impatiently, "After such a long time, the elephant can run away now."
"You can make fun of me all you want! But when I beat you until you are on your knees begging for mercy, don't cry." Qin Ku stretched out his arms and twisted his waist, and his joints crackled.
The man in white smiled slightly and said teasingly, "Don't cry either."
"Accept!"
There was a sudden shout, and it seemed that the sound had not yet reached the ears of the man in white, but the elusive sky sword had already broken through the wind and landed strangely on the man's head.
"So fast!" Qin Ku's move shocked Liu Xunyi so much that he sighed subconsciously, "Brother Qin's martial arts are far better than before. The 'Xuan Shui Xia Juan' is indeed worthy of its reputation."
At this moment, the white-clothed man's joking intention finally gradually subsided. His pupils suddenly focused, and his body instantly stood sideways. With a light "whoosh" sound, the sharp and menacing long-air knife came down and whizzed down, almost brushing the white-clothed man's nose.
"bass!"
It happened so fast that Qin Ku missed a move and turned his wrist without thinking, swinging the long sword diagonally upwards, another killing move.
"Keng!"
However, the man in white did not dodge. At some point, a scimitar appeared in his hand, and he went straight to meet Qin Ku's long sword. The sharp blades collided, sparks flew, and a loud noise broke out at the same time.
"Clang clang clang!"
The two swords separated as soon as they touched each other. Neither of them made any unnecessary movements and they launched a new round of fierce attacks on each other almost at the same time.
For a moment, the broken courtyard was filled with the sound of swords and knives. A strong energy spread out in all directions, turning the already dilapidated courtyard and broken houses into a wasteland in an instant.
If Liu Xunyi had not been sitting high on the branch, he would have been buried in the rolling dust.
In the midst of the violent wind and dust, two lightning-fast figures flew up and down, fighting back and forth in a very lively manner.
Under the night sky, two blades as fast as silver dragons intertwined and entangled with each other, fighting hard to separate.
Watching from afar, two ghostly figures appeared and disappeared, one sword faster than the other, one move more powerful than the other, making Liu Xunyi dazzled and his blood boiling.
"Fatty, you have a good foundation, but your methods are too wild." The voice of the man in white clothes sounded quietly during the fierce battle, "I guess you were taught by a master when you were a child, and then you tried to find the method on your own, but you learned a mess of wild methods."
The man in white told Liu Xunyi about Qin Ku's experience in learning martial arts, which really surprised him.
When Qin Ku was young, he was deeply influenced by his father, so he had a solid foundation in martial arts. Later, his family fell into poverty, and Qin Ku's parents were killed by Qin Ming one after another. Overnight, he went from being the eldest grandson of the Qin family to a beggar on the run. Naturally, what he encountered and learned was chaotic, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a "wild man".
Qin Ku threw all the distracting thoughts in his mind to the wind and grinned, "Why do you care if my methods are wild or not? As long as I can defeat you, that's all!"
"Your tone is even wilder than your moves." The man in white laughed, "The legendary Ghost Seer is so powerful. I thought he was that powerful? After seeing it tonight, it's just like this!"
After saying that, the man in white suddenly withdrew, seemingly having no intention of getting entangled with Qin Ku anymore.
Qin Ku was stunned and shouted quickly: "Xun Yi, this bastard probably can't beat me, he can only say sarcastic words. Stop him for me, I must cut off his tongue today!"
"bass!"
With a slight sound, the Wuji Sword came out of its sheath.
In the night sky, a cold light flashed, and a silver lightning flew over.
In an instant, Liu Xunyi weaved a sharp sword net in the night sky, covering the sky and blocking the way of the man in white.
"interesting!"
The man in white smiled instead of getting angry. He reached behind his back with his left hand and pulled out another scimitar.
It turned out that this man's weapon was a pair of swords, but when he was fighting with Qin Ku just now, he only showed one sword, which showed that his strength must be reserved.
"The famous 'Ghost Seer' is just so-so, I wonder what the rising newcomer in the martial arts world will be like?"
The man in white laughed loudly, and faced with the sharp sword net that covered the sky and the moon, he did not retreat but advanced, holding the sword in both hands and dancing with them crossed.
Instantly, visible ripples of energy overlapped and emerged, and after colliding with the Wuji Sword and making loud noises, the sword net instantly collapsed and shattered, turning into waves that gradually disappeared into the night sky. Liu Xunyi was secretly surprised, and in mid-air, he stepped on his right foot with his left foot, and his speed increased by three points. Suddenly, he pounced in front of the man in white, and the Wuji Sword moved as he wished, and he took advantage of the situation to fight with the man in white.
"Your martial arts are quite orthodox. Your innate foundation is very solid, and you are also quite talented in your acquired comprehension." The man in white commented tirelessly, "You are worthy of being the Black Fan of the Xianwang Mansion. You are indeed well guided by everyone. Every move is well-formed. It's rare! It's really rare! But your style is too orthodox. Compared with the fat man's wild style, it is inevitably a bit conservative. You two, one is too 'wild', and the other is too 'normal'. If you can balance the yin and yang, it may be more interesting."
"Damn it! Is it that I have too little experience, or that your profession is advancing too fast? Are all the thieves so skilled in martial arts nowadays? If I continue to do this for another two years, I won't even be qualified to be a thief, and will only be fit to carry someone's shoes!"
"There are also thresholds for carrying shoes. You can't just carry them whenever you want. You are ugly, so carrying shoes will inevitably make the host dislike you. It is more appropriate to empty the chamber pot."
"Bah! I told you you were fat and you gasped. I think you are a pig with a green onion stuck in its nose. You are just pretending."
While he was speaking, Qin Ku had already approached and joined forces with Liu Xunyi to fight with the man in white.
It must be said that the martial arts of the man in white is indeed amazing. Facing the joint attack of top masters like Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku, he still fought with ease and composure.
Liu Xunyi became more and more frightened as the fight went on. Among the younger generation of masters, he had never encountered such a strong opponent with almost no flaws.
Before tonight, he thought that Su He, "the fastest swordsman in Mobei", was already the top master of the younger generation in the martial arts world.
Although he and Su He had never fought head-on, Su He's outstanding record of defeating Tang Afu was enough to highlight his leading position.
But even so, Liu Xunyi was still certain that although Su He's martial arts skills were high, he could never reach the terrifying level where he could fight against two great masters, Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku, by himself and still not be at a disadvantage.
In other words, the man in white who suddenly appeared in Huashan Town, whose martial arts were even better than Su He's, how could Liu Xunyi not be shocked and stunned?
In tonight’s battle, it was not that Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku were too weak, but that their opponents were too strong.
"Who exactly are you?" Liu Xunyi asked curiously.
"No fun, let's go!"
The fight between the three lasted for about seventy or eighty rounds. The man in white suddenly put away his sword and retreated. His figure paused slightly in mid-air, and immediately turned into a string of afterimages, quickly disappearing from the sight of Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku.
"Where to run?"
How could Qin Ku give up when it came to real money? Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to dissuade him, he soared into the sky and chased after the man in white.
"Brother Qin, wait for me!"
Seeing that Qin Ku was insisting on his own way, Liu Xunyi felt helpless. He was also worried that Qin Ku would suffer alone, so he could only sigh and fly after him.
The man in white was in front, Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku were behind. The three of them jumped up and down, leaped several feet, and flew out of Xingyao Village in a blink of an eye.
After a while, the three of them arrived at a deserted grain field outside the village.
Today, the grain has long disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pile of dusty haystacks, which looks particularly desolate in the bumpy threshing floor.
"there!"
Qin Ku pointed to the distance and saw a man in white standing quietly on a haystack with a gun-like figure, looking at Liu Xunyi and the other person ten feet away with a half-smile.
"Is he...playing tricks on us?" Liu Xunyi asked in surprise.
"call!"
Before he finished speaking, Qin Ku, filled with shame and indignation, swung his sword violently. A powerful force immediately rolled up a pile of haystacks beside him, and the weeds flew everywhere, covering the sky and rushing towards the man in white.
"Oh!"
However, at the moment the haystack broke into pieces in mid-air, swords, spears, swords and halberds flew out from it, scattering all over the ground with a "crackling" sound like rain.
This scene made Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku stunned at the same time. Neither of them expected that there would be so many brand-new weapons hidden in the desolate and lonely valley?
"What's this about?"
When Qin Ku woke up from his surprise and looked at the man in white with a blank face, he saw that the haystack in the distance was already empty and his figure was no longer to be found.
"What about people?"
Qin Ku's face changed drastically. He jumped onto the haystack, shaking his big head back and forth, and looking around with his small eyes. But no matter how long he watched, the man in white seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and he could not find any trace of him.
"Alas! He still got away." Qin Ku had a worried look on his face and kept muttering, "It's over! It's over! This time I've lost a lot."
At this moment, Liu Xunyi had no intention of comforting Qin Ku. He looked at the swords, spears, and halberds scattered on the ground with a serious expression. Suddenly, his eyes changed and he rushed to other haystacks in a hurry to check them one by one.
Sure enough, there were a large number of weapons hidden in each haystack.
"What's going on?" Qin Ku asked in confusion, "Who would hide such a good weapon here?"
"I don't know." Liu Xunyi frowned and murmured, "Brother Qin, I have a bold guess. It seems that... the man in white deliberately let us find out his whereabouts in order to lead us here and find these weapons."
Qin Ku looked confused and asked, "Why?"
"This……"
"Hei Zhishan, I finally found you!"
Just as Liu Xunyi was hesitating, Ling Qing led his men and quickly ran towards the grain field.
Liu Xunyi was startled and asked hesitantly, "Why are you here when you are not guarding the Seven Stars Tower?"
"An hour ago, the Palace Master arrived at Huashan Town and asked to see you."
"The Palace Master is here?" Liu Xunyi asked in surprise, "Why are you in such a hurry to see me?"
"Because..." Ling Qing looked embarrassed and replied hesitantly, "Because the Palace Master had just arrived at Huashan Town and hadn't had a cup of tea or rested yet, the Teng clan leader... came to question him."
