Chapter 367 Duan Yanqing!
It's a logically closed loop, but it can't cover up the shamelessness of Elder Xu of the Beggars' Sect.
Xin Zhen was angry in his heart, but his face remained calm, he looked at Elder Xu and said, "It seems that the Beggars' Sect is really going to decline.
An internal power struggle drove out the leader Qiao, who had brought the Beggars' Sect to its current position.
In order to cover up their crimes, they even went so far as to slander me, the benefactor who saved you from the Yipintang of Xixia some time ago.
Being ungrateful and treacherous is fine, fine, but... aren't you afraid of making a big enemy?"
Xin Zhen looked at Elder Xu of the Beggars' Sect, the second elder who was in charge of law enforcement and martial arts, and the seven elders Xi, Song, Chen and Wu.
Elder Xu sighed and said, "Your Excellency saved us from the Yipintang, and we, the Beggars' Sect, are of course very grateful, but this is just a small act of personal loyalty. In the face of the greater good of our country, what does a small act of personal loyalty count for?
In the face of the interests of my country and my family, there is nothing I can do even if I have to risk being despised and accused of being ungrateful in the future.
It is a fact that Qiao Feng is a Khitan who betrayed his master and ancestors. And you, Xin Zhen, are birds of a feather with Qiao Feng. We fully suspect that you were involved in the massacre of Dali Fendu, the killing of Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, and Master Xuanku.
You want to leave now, but it is impossible. You must stay and explain things clearly."
Xin Zhen quietly listened to Elder Xu's shameless talk about the so-called righteousness of the country and the principle of sacrificing relatives for the sake of righteousness. When he finished, Xin Zhen turned around and said to Xin Chang's parents, "Dad and Mom, you go first, I will come to find you later.
Miss Ah Zhu, practice the formula I taught you diligently every day. It will only take a dozen days for the foreign Qi in your body to be completely eliminated. As long as one kind of Qi is completely eliminated, your body injuries will be easily healed. I will treat you when the time comes."
The Xinchang couple looked at Xin Zhen worriedly. Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry. I'm afraid someone might harm you if you're here. I'll be free if you leave me."
Xin Chang knew he couldn't help, so he sighed, then left with his wife, daughter and Ah Zhu.
Xin Zhen watched the cart leave, turned back to look at Qiao Feng, and said with a smile: "Brother, you can rest assured now."
When Qiao Feng heard Xin Zhen call him "Brother Qiao", he remembered that Xin Zhen had come all the way from Gusu with his parents and sister, and now stayed to face the heroes side by side with him. Even a hero like him with a heart as hard as iron could not help but shed tears and said, "My dear brother, it is my elder brother who has dragged you down."
Xin Zhen smiled calmly, but didn't care much.
I had wanted to live in seclusion in Gusu before because I wanted to cherish the hard-earned life of an ordinary person, but now that I have entered the world of martial arts, there is no need to look ahead or behind.
Xin Zhen has lived for several lifetimes and has seen and experienced everything, let alone facing a group of heroes. In his previous life, when he drove the Mongols out of the Central Plains, he had to face the charge of thousands of Mongolian cavalry alone. He had no idea how many times he had experienced life and death. The scene before him was nothing but a small scene to him.
Xin Zhen said: "Brother, there is no need to say so much. Look up to the heaven and look down to the people. The rest are all trivial matters. I know you very well. People here don't understand you, but I do understand you very well."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng's eyes welled up with tears again. During these days, his adoptive parents were killed, and his master Xuan Ku was also killed. However, he was misunderstood as a person who betrayed his master and ancestors. Those companions who had been through life and death with him in the past were questioning and doubting him.
He was extremely frightened and anxious, which was something he had never experienced before in his life. However, Xin Zhen, a friend whom he had only met once, believed in him calmly and firmly. How could he not be moved?
Qiao Feng choked up and said, "My dear brother, I..."
Suddenly, a soft voice came out from the crowd, saying, "What a pair of brothers who are so loyal and righteous. No wonder they slaughtered the Dali branch of the Beggars' Sect and killed their father, mother, and mentor together."
This person was the one who had previously ridiculed the Beggars' Sect, but he was squeezed in the crowd and stopped talking after saying a few words. No one knew who he was. The crowd looked towards the source of the voice several times, but they could not see whose lips were moving.
If you say that person is short, there is no one who is particularly short among this group of people.
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Does this rat dare to stand up and speak?"
The soft voice in the crowd suddenly said, "What if you stand up and speak? In front of all the heroes, do you dare to..."
Qiao Feng suddenly shouted angrily: "Get out!" The sound shook the tiles of the roof and dust fell from the beams.
The heroes all heard thunder in their ears and their heartbeats intensified. A big man stepped out from the crowd and stood unsteadily, as if drunk. He was wearing a green robe and his face was pale. None of the heroes knew who he was.
Mr. Tan suddenly shouted, "Ah, he is Tan Qing, the Soul Chaser. Yes, he is the disciple of 'Full of Evil'."
When the leaders of the Beggar Gang heard that he was the disciple of the "four evil men", the leader of the "four evil men" and a man who had committed many crimes, they became even more furious and shouted at him in unison, yet they were all terrified in their hearts.
It turned out that Xin Zhen and Qiao Feng rescued the Beggars' Sect that day and left, and the Beggars' Sect members were recuperating in the apricot forest.
Soon, Duan Yanqing, who had committed many crimes, arrived and none of the Beggars' Sect leaders could be his match.
Although Duan Yanqing was no match for all the members of the Beggars' Sect and therefore retreated, it is a fact that the leaders of the Beggars' Sect were badly beaten and suffered a great loss.
The beggars were both annoyed and afraid of Duan Yanqing. They all felt that now that Qiao Feng was no longer in the Beggars' Sect, they would still find it difficult to resist this "number one evil man in the world" if they met him again.
The muscles on Tan Qing's face were twisted, and he looked extremely painful. He kept grabbing his chest with both hands, and a voice came out of him: "I... I have no grudge against you, why... why did you break my magic?"
He still spoke in a soft voice, but his voice was intermittent and he was out of breath, but his lips did not move at all. Everyone who saw this was shocked.
Only a handful of people in the hall knew that his skill was the art of ventriloquism, which, when combined with superior internal energy, could make the other person confused and die.
However, if he encounters an opponent who is more powerful than him, his magic will not work and he will suffer the consequences.
Doctor Xue said angrily, "Are you a disciple who has committed many evil deeds? I am hosting this hero banquet and I am inviting heroes from all over the world. How did a shameless scum like you get in?"
Suddenly, someone on the high wall in the distance said, "What kind of heroes' banquet is this? I think it's just a gathering of bears!"
When he started speaking, they were still far away, but when he said the last word "meeting", a person arrived and floated down from the high wall. His body was extremely tall, but his movements were extremely fast.
Many people on the roof threw punches and knives to block, but they were a step too slow and were snatched away by him. Many people in the hall recognized him, as the "evil-filled" Duan Yanqing.
Duan Yanqing floated down into the courtyard, and when he landed, the two iron rods in his hands touched the ground, making two thumping sounds. Duan Yanqing was seen wearing a green robe, with a long beard hanging down to his chest, all of which were pitch black, but his facial muscles were all stiff, his eyelids could not close, and his face showed no emotion, like a dead body, which was extremely scary to look at.
Duan Yanqing snorted, stretched out his crutch and gently lifted up Tan Qing, the soul-chasing staff, and Tan Qing was lifted out of the wall. However, he was in no hurry to leave, and glanced at the crowd and asked, "Where is Xin Zhen?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "That's me."
Duan Yanqing stared at Xin Zhen with a dead look in his eyes and said, "You killed my second sister, third brother, and fourth brother. I have been looking for you for a long time. Today I finally found you. Come with me."
Xin Zhen sneered, "You know I killed them, so you know I'm good at martial arts. How can you think you can order me around?"
Duan Yanqing said: "Your parents and sister are in my hands."
The smile on Xin Zhen's face disappeared immediately. Duan Yanqing was lurking nearby and naturally saw his parents and sister.
Xin Zhen said in a deep voice: "Don't let your family suffer any harm, you are breaking the rules."
Duan Yanqing shook his head and said, "I don't know this rule."
Xin Zhen chuckled: "Okay."
After he finished speaking, Xin Zhen strode towards Duan Yanqing. Duan Yanqing learned from Helian Tieshu and others that Xin Zhen killed his three brothers and sisters with just one move and his martial arts skills were terrifyingly high. Therefore, although he looked arrogant, he did not dare to be negligent. When he saw Xin Zhen coming over, he raised the thin iron rod and pointed it at Xin Zhen.
The iron rod was pointed out, and there was a hissing sound, and the tip of the thin iron rod pointed at Xin Zhen's chest.
Qiao Feng reminded him, "My dear brother, this is the Dali Duan family's One Yang Finger. Don't be careless."
Xin Zhen stretched out his finger and flicked towards the tip of the stick. This was the first time that the Duan family's One Yang Finger and the Peach Blossom Island's finger-snapping magic came into contact in the Tianlong world.
In the eyes of onlookers, they saw the evil Duan Yanqing poking Xin Zhen with a thin iron rod. Xin Zhen raised his hand and flicked his finger to hit the tip of Duan Yanqing's rod, followed by a loud noise.
Duan Yanqing couldn't hold the iron rod anymore, and it shot out backwards. With a "swish", the thin iron rod was inserted into the pillar not far behind Duan Yanqing. When everyone looked closely, they saw that the thin iron rod had pierced through the huge pillar!
The heroes were horrified, especially the elders of the Beggars' Sect who had fought with Duan Yanqing before. When they fought with Duan Yanqing that day, no one could defeat him, or they were beaten badly. They knew very well what this man was capable of.
But Duan Yanqing, who was invincible that day, was not able to defeat Xin Zhen even with a single move!
The elders of the Beggars' Sect were all panicked. Today, Elder Xu had offended Xin Zhen badly and accused him of being an accomplice of Qiao Feng. Who was Qiao Feng? He killed his father and mother, betrayed his teacher and destroyed his ancestors. To accuse him of such a crime was an irreconcilable feud!
Duan Yanqing was able to defeat the elder of the Beggar Gang with ease, but Duan Yanqing could not even withstand a single blow from his opponent, who simply knocked the weapon away with just a finger. If he had been attacked by him, he would have been killed with just a finger!
The elders of the Beggars' Sect were terrified, but after all they were not eyewitnesses. The one who was most horrified at the scene was naturally Duan Yanqing.
Duan Yanqing has been rampant in the martial arts world for decades and has never been inferior to anyone. It is rare for someone to be able to survive dozens of moves at his hands. Who would have expected that today a young man would have his thin iron rod knocked away by just one finger.
He was shocked and felt a burning sensation on his hand. He looked down and found that a large piece of skin had been worn off on his palm. He was even more horrified.
He was afraid that Xin Zhen would come closer, so he touched the ground with the thin iron rod and flew out sideways. However, before he landed, he felt someone pinching the back of his neck. He only heard the young man say in a gentle voice: "Big villain, don't waste your energy. Take me to see my parents, or I will break your neck."
Duan Yanqing was shocked. He saw Xin Zhen lifting him up, with his chest exposed in front of him. He immediately slapped Xin Zhen's chest with his palm.
Qiao Feng saw it clearly and said anxiously, "Brother, be careful!"
Xin Zhen just let Duan Yanqing hit him. There was a loud bang and his clothes fluttered, but his body remained motionless.
Xin Zhen smiled and exerted force with his hands. Duan Yanqing suddenly felt his body stiffen and he could not hold the thin iron rod anymore. It fell to the ground with a clang.
Xin Zhen held Duan Yanqing in his arms and said to Qiao Feng, "Brother, let's go. My parents, sister, and Miss Azhu have probably been captured by the Yipintang people. Let's go and get them, and kill some people while we're at it."
Qiao Feng nodded, looked at the heroes in the hall and said, "Everyone, I am sorry to bother you today. You all have heard that the Xixia people have kidnapped Brother Xin's parents and sister. We have to rescue them. If you want to seek justice from Qiao Feng, please set a date and I will definitely keep the appointment. As for today, how about letting us rescue them first?"
The heroes saw that Duan Yanqing was captured by Xin Zhen with one move, while Xin Zhen was hit on the chest by Duan Yanqing as if nothing had happened. They were shocked and thought that it was already difficult to deal with Qiao Feng alone, and now Xin Zhen seemed to be even more difficult than Qiao Feng. He would not be easy to deal with.
Others would be afraid, but Doctor Xue was... It’s not that he wasn’t afraid, but that he had his own reasons.
Others may be afraid and give up, but how could he, Xue Muhua?
Divine Doctor Xue shouted, "Qiao Feng, you are guilty of a heinous crime. We are planning to round you up and cut you into pieces as a sacrifice to your parents and master. Now that you have come to us, there is nothing better. Just end your life!"
When he said this, he waved his right hand, and the heroes shouted in unison and took out their weapons.
The hall was filled with dazzling cold lights, and there were countless various long swords, short swords, double axes and single whips.
Then, loud shouts were heard from above, and many people appeared on the eaves and corners of the house, all holding weapons, guarding various important places.
Although Qiao Feng had seen many large battles, he usually led the Beggars' Sect to fight against the enemy, and his side always had more people and more power. He had never been alone in the siege like this time. Although there was still Xin Zhen, Xin Zhen was also carrying Duan Yanqing. He had no idea how to break out, and he couldn't help feeling worried.
However, Xin Zhen laughed loudly at this time and said, "Great, we are all heroes, and we still want to rely on numbers to win, right? Great, great, big brother, please help me keep an eye on him."
When Qiao Feng saw Xin Zhen throwing Duan Yanqing over, he caught him casually but looked at Xin Zhen in confusion.
But Xin Zhen said: "Are you all ready? Here I come!"
Qiao Feng said anxiously: "Brother, this is none of your business, don't fight with them!"
However, Xin Zhen rushed into the crowd, and the heroes suddenly shouted loudly and attacked Xin Zhen with swords, guns, sticks and clubs.
However, Xin Zhen was moving around in the crowd like a ghost. The swords, guns, sticks and clubs seemed to be about to chop him into thousands of pieces, and the sticks seemed to be about to beat him into a paste, but he walked through the flowers without getting a single leaf on him!
