After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 135: Kill with One Knife
The wind was howling fiercely, and Shangguan Qingqing, dressed in crimson clothes, had martial arts energy surging under her feet, and she almost turned into a speeding red afterimage.

Her handsome and pretty face was now filled with anxiety and coldness.

The flying knives from her hands kept shooting out like lightning. Even though they were always blocked by the Qi-condensed armor on the bodies of Sha Wenshan and the other two, she still persevered in attacking with her knives.

At this moment, a sharp sword light suddenly burst out from under the eaves of the shop next door.

The young man in white rushed out swiftly, his eyes cold, and the sword in his hand suddenly thrust straight forward. The blade light condensed into a line of white light, like the afterimage of a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, and swept towards Shangguan Qingqing's throat.

Shangguan Qingqing's eyes changed, her feet stopped for a moment, and she quickly leaned back to avoid the sudden killing move.

Then, she raised her hand and two flying knives shot towards the face of the young man in white.

The young man in white immediately drew his sword to block, and with a sharp sound of metal collision, the flying knives were deflected one by one.

At this time, he sneered disdainfully:
"With your strength, you still want to save people from my father? Stay!"

As he spoke, the sword moves in his hand changed again, and he attacked Shangguan Qingqing's vital points without hesitation.

Shangguan Qingqing looked anxious, but she had no choice but to stop and temporarily deal with the young man in front of her.

At the same time, Sha Wenshan turned his head and glanced at him indifferently. His five fingers were hooked like iron, and the wind from his claws tore open the sword curtain in front of him, but he pressed directly on Qin Hao's broad sword body.

Seeing this, Qin Hao's face suddenly changed into shock, and he hurriedly circulated his martial arts energy to try to draw his sword.

However, he found that the power in the opponent's hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he was unable to shake it at all.

At this time, two middle-aged men had approached and placed their hands on his shoulders.

In an instant, Qin Hao felt that the martial arts energy in his body was suppressed by the opponent in an instant, and it stagnated and could not be moved even if he tried his best to circulate it.

At this point, Qin Hao's heart sank, knowing that he was powerless to turn the situation around. He had become a fish on the chopping board and could only allow the other party to slaughter him.

"Hand over the other half of the map, and I might be able to spare your junior sister's life."

Sha Wenshan took off the broadsword from Qin Hao's men and spoke concisely.

Qin Hao frowned and looked at Shangguan Qingqing who was fighting with the young man in white in the distance, and said:

"I do not know what you're talking about?"

"It seems like you want to experience the torture methods of my Baisha Gang."

Sha Wenshan narrowed his eyes slightly, then grabbed Qin Hao's collar and walked towards a blacksmith shop nearby.

However, at this moment, a rough voice suddenly sounded on the long street:

"Hold on."

Sha Wenshan paused, turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a groom in coarse linen clothes standing quietly on the damaged wooden beams of the roof of the shop opposite.

The groom had an ordinary face and held a broken knife in his hand.

Seeing this, Sha Wenshan frowned and was about to speak.

However, the next moment, the groom on the roof had already swung his knife and chopped down.

In an instant, the sword light splashed like a silver bottle exploding, and the bursting light enveloped Sha Wenshan and the other two.

"court death!"

Sha Wenshan's eyes turned cold, he stretched out his hand to seal Qin Hao's acupoints, and threw him to his men.

Then, he and the other two middle-aged men attacked together in tacit coordination. They unleashed terrifying claw shadows and palm prints, breaking through the falling shattered blade light and rushing towards the groom on the roof.

Cao Gaoshan lowered his eyes slightly, turned his head and glanced at the only open window on the second floor of the inn behind him, and said in a deep voice:
"Sir, please look!"

But the next moment, the knife in his hand had already slashed out invisibly.

hum!
In an instant, the entire air around was shaking, and the rubble on the roof that had been shattered by the aftermath of the battle was jumping continuously.

A sword shadow about ten feet long quietly rose in front of the groom. The sword shadow was domineering and sharp, and the dazzling sword light cut through the air, and instantly fell towards the bluestone street below.

The knife was extremely fast. From the moment the knife shadow appeared to the moment it disappeared, Sha Wenshan and the other two were unable to see its trajectory clearly.

In an instant, the claw shadows and palm prints in the sky suddenly disappeared, and the figures of Sha Wenshan and others who leaped into the air fell down at an even faster speed.

Bang!
The three of them crashed onto the bluestone street. The terrifying impact force caused the bluestone ground to crack. For a moment, gravel flew everywhere and dust stirred up, creating a huge pit half a person deep.

"Cough cough..."

Violent coughing sounds came from the pit. Sha Wenshan and the other two were lying at the bottom of the pit, with bright red blood constantly flowing from the corners of their mouths.

There were hideous knife wounds on their bodies, deep enough to see the bones. The groom's knife strike just now almost cut the three of them in half!

At this moment, the three men's faces showed expressions of horror and pain. They were already seriously injured and no longer had the strength to resist.

On the second floor of the inn, Hu Ruian, who had seen the entire scene, looked at the figure of the groom Cao Gaoshan, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, and asked in confusion:
"When did his martial arts skills improve again? He's almost reaching the threshold of a half-step celestial being."

Qian Hu Wu Shang, who was standing by, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Brother Cao's 'Que Dao Zhan' has become so powerful, but... I don't think I've ever seen him use this move before."

At this time, the groom Cao Gaoshan turned around and looked at Li Musheng in front of the window. His face, full of vicissitudes, showed a rare hint of nervousness:
"Sir, how about this knife of mine?"

"Not even close."

Li Musheng shook his head directly, and Cao Gaoshan's face froze when he saw this.

But soon, he stood on the broken wooden beam, raised his rough palm and saluted Li Musheng, saying with a face full of shame:

"I will continue to work hard."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three people, including Hu Ruian, all looked at Li Musheng who was sitting at the table.

Ever since Cao Gaoshan volunteered just now, they have been a little confused about the relationship between Li Musheng and Cao Shan.

But at this moment, the doubts in my heart are even deeper!

In their opinion, Cao Gaoshan seemed to respect Li Musheng very much, but this respect was obviously not because of the other party's identity as a prince.

It feels more like a respect for a teacher, wanting to be recognized by the other party...

However, this obviously doesn't make sense. Cao Gaoshan is a martial arts grandmaster, and although Li Musheng usually speaks in a loud tone, he himself does not have even a trace of martial arts energy.

The strange contrast in this made Hu Ruian and others feel a little unbelievable.

……

At the same time, the young man in white saw his father being cut down by a knife, and he screamed in surprise. He hurriedly left his opponent Shangguan Qingqing and ran towards the big pit on the bluestone street.

Seeing this, Shangguan Qingqing did not take the opportunity to chase and kill the other party, but moved and hurried to find her senior brother Qin Hao.
