Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 227 Only three people
Long Quan has mastered this famous skill to perfection and is almost at the peak of his powers. Now that he has issued a military order, he must not let Ji Jie go, otherwise, Mr. Li will not let him go.

Ji Jie saw Changhong's sword light breaking through the air and creating sparks. The sword sounded before it came, but it was there, with such a magnificent momentum that he did not dare to underestimate it. He swung the sword in his hand and used a "Thousand-foot Wall" move, rolling up the sword shadow to meet it. This move was originally Huangshan's unique skill, and it was obviously much inferior to Yunmeng and Zhishui's when he used it.

With a series of clang clang sounds and sparks flying, the sword in Ji Jie's hand hit Chang Hong six times in a row. His arm felt numb, but he still couldn't withstand the sword from Long Quan. His body was knocked back more than ten feet, leaving two water dragons on the lake.

Longquan was very surprised, he did not expect Ji Jie could actually take this sword, he also knew that Ji Jie was using the Huangshan swordsmanship, but his internal strength was insufficient. If it was Zhishui or Yunmeng, he would be the one who would retreat. He could not help but secretly admire the Huangshan swordsmanship, and seeing that the sword power was already old, he did not give Ji Jie a chance to breathe, turned over and got up, and unexpectedly landed behind Ji Jie. With a burst of sword sound, Changhong created a wave of sword waves, and stabbed at the major fatal points behind Ji Jie.

Ji Jie is definitely not an ordinary person. Since the failed assassination attempt on Ying Zheng in Mount Li, in just three years, his cultivation has reached the level of a wandering immortal. Otherwise, how could Zhishui be confident in letting him join forces with the Poyang Gang and the Ghost Shadow Sect.

When Longquan turned over and passed over his head, he had already prepared the next move 'Pai Yun Dao Hai'. He turned around and slapped towards Longquan. The sword shadows met with each other, clanging continuously, the sword energy spread out layer by layer, and water splashed in all directions.

But even though Ji Jie was brave and fearless, he was no match for Long Quan's attack. After two moves, he was too tired to defend himself and had no power to fight back.

Longquan saw that Ji Jie was going to die soon under his sword, and was feeling proud when he suddenly heard a buzzing sound. He turned around and saw a red cloud rushing towards him. It turned out to be the poisonous insects released by Yu Sisi.

Yu Sisi's poison technique is famous throughout the world, and no one is not afraid of it, including Longquan. Moreover, this is a duel between masters, and this sneak attack is fatal. He hurriedly aroused the true energy in his body, swung his sword to create a sword shadow to chop the red insects flying towards him.

Seeing that Longquan was trapped by 'Qingchenghong', Ji Jie opened his mind, swung the sword in his hand, gathered all his energy, and stabbed Longquan.

When Longquan saw Ji Jie swinging his sword at him, he groaned in his heart. If he tried to block the sword, he would be bitten by the poisonous insect. If he didn't block it, the sword would also kill him. In a hurry, Longquan was really smart. He rolled over and dived into the water, avoiding both the sword and the poisonous insect.

Teng Longquan flew out of the water and landed back on the boat, all wet and in a rather embarrassed state. He didn't look at Yu Sisi, but glared at Jiang Yuan and said, "Why didn't you take action when you saw me being attacked?"

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Master Long is fighting with others. If I help him, wouldn't I be laughed at?"

"But she was attacking from the dark!"

"With Master Long's cultivation level, how could a mere poisonous insect pose any threat to him? Facts have proved that Master Long's underwater skills are indeed extraordinary." Anyone could tell that Jiang Yuan was mocking Long Quan, which showed that the two of them were not on good terms in Xiandao Academy.

Longquan originally wanted to join forces with Jiang Yuan to attack again, but after hearing this, he said angrily: "Okay, I, Longquan, am not as good as you, so please ask Master Jiang to attack, otherwise you and I will both have to go to see His Majesty with our heads held high!"

Jiang Yuan snorted coldly, jumped up and stepped on the lake. The calm lake surface immediately formed a layer of ice, as if he was stepping on a mirror. The mirror floated towards Ji Jie's boat. Jiang Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said loudly: "You three come together!" This sentence was obviously directed at Long Quan.

Ji Jie and others knew that Jiang Yuan was not bragging, he really had such cultivation. If Fen Yuan and Zhi Shui were here, Jiang Yuan would definitely not dare to do so, but since these two people did not come, Jiang Yuan naturally had the confidence.

Yang Yingjie had already taken the Iron Bone Fan in his hand. They knew that if they wanted to escape from here today, they had to defeat Jiang Yuan. In terms of cultivation, they would naturally be no match for him, but the key to victory or defeat did not only depend on cultivation.

The three of them didn't say anything, but attacked at the same time. 'Qingchenghong' rushed forward with a buzzing sound, Ji Jie and Yang Yingjie also attacked from the left and right. Ji Jie used a 'Yunfei Wanbian' sword shadow that was confusing and flashing with lightning. The iron fan in Yang Yingjie's hand flew out, showing a graceful arc, sweeping towards Jiang Yuan's right rib. The three of them blocked all of Jiang Yuan's escape routes.

Jiang Yuan did not retreat, nor did he dive into the water like Longquan. Instead, he stepped on the water with one foot. A curtain of water immediately rose around him and instantly froze into ice, forming an ice wall. Jiang Yuan was in the water like a fish in the water. The water could serve as both his shield and his weapon. Although the ice could not block Ji Jie's sword and Yang Yingjie's iron fan, it could block the poisonous insects that he feared.

An ice wall pushed towards the three people. When the sword and iron fan broke the ice wall, the red mist also dispersed with the broken ice. Jiang Yuan was still in the same place, but the two ice swords in his hands swept towards Ji Jie and Yang Yingjie.

Ji Jie guessed that Jiang Yuan would use this sword, so he held his sword horizontally to block it. "Bang", the two swords intersected, and the true energy spread out. Ji Jie felt as if his whole body was frozen and icy cold.

At the same time, Yang Yingjie turned over to avoid the ice sword that was more than two meters long, took the iron bone fan, drew a silver light, and slashed at Jiang Yuan's right shoulder. When he was about to succeed, "clang" the ice sword in Jiang Yuan's hand was quickly withdrawn, blocking the iron bone fan.

Yang Yingjie smiled slightly, and the iron fan suddenly emitted a black light, shooting towards the major acupoints on Jiang Yuan's upper body.

Being so close, Jiang Yuan was horrified. He didn't expect that there was a hidden mechanism in Yang Yingjie's iron fan that shot out so many black needles. The black needles were naturally poisoned. On the other side, Ji Jie held his ice sword tightly, preventing him from moving easily.

Jiang Yuan leaned back, his entire body almost lying horizontally on the ice. He staggered to avoid the poison needle, but before he could straighten up, twenty-four colorful bracelets came flying towards him, and the red cloud condensed again and rushed down in his face.

Jiang Yuan realized at this moment that he had been too arrogant. Although the three people's cultivation was not as good as his, the coordination of the three of them made him breathless. Jiang Yuan slapped the ice with one hand, and water splashed, immediately turning into countless pieces of ice and bursting out.

Ji Jie and Yang Yingjie were repelled by the ice, all the 'ding ding dang dang' colored bracelets were knocked away, and poisonous insects were shot to death. This was a wonderful display of skills, and the onlookers were about to cheer.

But Jiang Yuan actually broke the ice under his feet and dived into the water. After a moment, he also jumped back onto the boat, his whole body soaked. He sat on the deck, saying nothing and meditating with his eyes closed.

Except for a few people, the rest didn't know the reason. However, Longquan saw it clearly. He knew that although Jiang Yuan had shot and killed most of the poisonous insects, one had escaped and bit his arm. If he didn't use his internal energy to remove the poison in time, his entire arm would probably be disabled.

Longquan laughed coldly at the side and said, "Master Jiang fought three people alone. This kind of courage really makes me admire him. However, the heads of these three people have not been brought back. But Master Jiang, like me, has been soaked."

Jiang Yuan said nothing. His face turned blue and purple. Everyone could tell that he was sulking.

Dong Shezi remained silent and had no intention of taking action, as if nothing had anything to do with him. He was about the same age as the other two, but had a head full of black hair, a strong body, and a pair of eyes that were always so deep. He looked to be only in his early thirties.

Ji Jie and the other two returned to the ship and said loudly to the luxurious ship, "Can we leave now?" Mr. Li's voice came from the cabin, "Of course."

Long Quan said anxiously: "If we attack together, we will surely tear the three of them into pieces!"

Mr. Li said, "Even the two of you can't do anything to them, the rest of you will die if you go, not to mention that you have already promised me that if you can't get their heads, you will bring your own heads to see His Majesty. Do you think my military order is a joke?"

Longquan said: "I dare not, but they are outnumbered and use poisonous hidden weapons. I will not accept it."

"If you want to kill someone, do you want them to wash their necks and wait for you to kill them? What's more, the purpose of killing is to make the other person die. Any means are equally dirty. No one forced you to take action. You should have thought it through before taking action. Losing is losing. I don't like to listen to the loser's excuses."

Longquan lowered his head and said solemnly, "Mr. Li is telling you that it was my incompetence that prevented me from saving their lives. Please spare me and do not report this to His Majesty. In fact, we are also thinking about you and are afraid that His Majesty will blame us."

"Our mission this time is to appease the Poyang Gang, not to capture these remnants of the rebellion. You are asking for trouble by doing this. As for the three of them, don't worry. You will have your chance to take action. Don't worry, I will not bring your heads to see His Majesty."

Longquan and Jiang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Longquan said, "I am extremely grateful to you for letting me go. You are far-sighted and wise. From now on, I will obey your orders and never disobey them!"

Mr. Li laughed out loud and said, "If the Imperial Master heard this, I wonder what he would think."

Longquan just realized that he had spoken out of turn again. His flattery hit the horse's leg. He looked embarrassed and dared not continue speaking. He had to be careful around Mr. Li. If he was not careful, he would be caught by him and lose face. It was as if there was some hatred between him and him. It was foolish to try to please him. Even breathing felt heavy around him.

At this moment, Xiao Jinghong broke through the encirclement and flew over from the lake, followed closely by Cui Hongtao. The two fought for more than three hundred moves, but there was still no winner.

When Ji Jie saw Xiao Jinghong coming, he knew that Xiao Jinghong would not be able to break through, so he fled over here.

Xiao Jinghong shouted, "My lord, wait for me!" Before he finished speaking, a flaming sword whistled towards him. Xiao Jinghong quickly turned over to avoid it. The flaming sword flew into the water, creating a wall of water to block Xiao Jinghong's way. Turning around, he saw Jin Xingzi actually leaping down from Zuixian Tower, arriving first despite starting later.

Jin Xingzi laughed and said, "Master let those three go, but he didn't say he would let you go!"

Xiao Jinghong said angrily: "You think you can stop me!" With both hands flying, he shot several 'invisible needles' at Jin Xingzi.

Jin Xingzi stared with his rat eyes and shouted, "Why are the needles so small!" He danced with his hands and feet, and somehow he dodged the invisible needles.

This sentence shocked many people. Others relied on their ears to avoid Xiao Jinghong's "Invisible Needle", and only a few people could vaguely see the light and shadow of the flying needle through their eyes. But Jin Xingzi could actually see the tiny needle clearly. What kind of eyes did he have? What level of cultivation had he reached? Such a monster called Mr. Li his master and made great progress in cultivation within three years. What level of cultivation had Mr. Li reached? Could it be that Mr. Li was the Luo who appeared in Changping three years ago and fought with the Queen Mother of the West? But looking at their manners and demeanor, it is difficult to associate the two people together.

Xiao Jinghong was shocked to see that Jin Xingzi easily dodged the "Invisible Needle" he had launched. He did not continue to attack and looked at Ji Jie and said, "My lord, take me away!"

Ji Jie did not answer Xiao Jinghong, but asked the luxury ship: "Mr. Li, can you ask Pavilion Master Xiao to leave with me?" He suddenly became much more polite.

But the answer was cold, "I will only let three people go, unless I have to pay with the life of one of you."

Ji Jie was filled with rage, but had nowhere to vent it. Who among the three of them could sacrifice their lives for this? This was clearly forcing him to do something unkind and unjust. He gritted his teeth and said, "You are so cruel!" No one answered him.

Xiao Jinghong knew his own fate, and laughed coldly: "I, Xiao Jinghong, died today for my lord to restore the Great Zhou, and this can be regarded as paying off the debt owed by my ancestors."

Ji Jie's eyes were filled with tears, and he shouted: "Master Xiao, it is Ji Jie who has let you down, I will definitely avenge you!"

Xiao Jinghong said: "I have killed countless people in my life. Now I am killed, which is a worthy death. My lord, there is no need to seek revenge for me. You can go!" Before he finished speaking, the figure rushed towards the luxury ship. He did not want to die yet. He wanted to capture Mr. Li to threaten him. His Qinggong was famously fast, and this was a life-and-death moment. This was his fastest speed, as fast as the wind.

Jin Xingzi wanted to stop him, but the figure was almost at the bow of the boat. Several people could have tried to intercept Xiao Jinghong, but no one did. They wanted to see how Mr. Li would respond, but the answer was soon revealed.

A flash of lightning struck Xiao Jinghong like a bolt from the blue. Xiao Jinghong did not expect Ling Kongzi's knife to be so fast that he did not even have a chance to dodge.

The knife was sheathed, and the head was still spinning, and it fell in front of Jiang Yuan with a "bang". Everyone was shocked. The knife was exactly the "Thunder Reverse Blade" of Luo. Could it be that Mr. Li was really Luo? Otherwise, how could Ling Kongzi have this knife?

Ling Kongzi angrily said to Jin Xingzi who had rushed back: "You actually let him rush over and forced me to do it!"

Jin Xingzi said disdainfully: "I thought he was going to commit suicide, but I never thought he would dare to harm Master, allowing you to take advantage of it and show off your power."

On the other side, Ji Jie cried out to the sky and wanted to rush over to fight, but was stopped by Yu Sisi and Yang Yingjie. From then on, he lost a capable master, and Tiansha Pavilion no longer existed.

The surrounding ships made a gap and Ji Jie's boat passed through. Mr. Li kept his promise and let them go, but there was a small boat waiting for them not far away.
