Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 88: Retaliation is inevitable
The moment he saw the three people, Shen Pingan stopped and hid his body behind the thick trees around him.

Feeling Shen Ping'an's movements, Zhang Sanfeng and Yan Shisan stopped almost at the same time.

Together with Shen Pingan, he stared at the three people at the edge of the forest.

The true energy flowed to their eyes, and looking at the carrier pigeon held in the hands of one of them, Shen Pingan and the other two understood why they had stopped.

After a while, as the bamboo tube was tied to the pigeon's leg, the person who had been holding the pigeon immediately let go.

The carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew quickly towards the southwest.

"Whoosh!"

However, just as the carrier pigeon was about to spread its wings and fly high, a sound of breaking air suddenly pierced through the darkness and accurately pierced the carrier pigeon in the air.

"Who?"

Glancing at the carrier pigeon falling rapidly from the sky, Mu Dao Ren and the two masked warriors were shocked and quickly turned their heads to look at the forest behind them.

The next second, a figure slowly walked out of the forest.

"It's you? Didn't you leave in the afternoon?"

Seeing Shen Ping'an walking out of the forest alone, Mu Daoren's eyes fixed.

Hearing this, Shen Pingan chuckled and said, "If I leave like this, how will I know who poisoned my drink in the restaurant in Tai'an City that day?"

As he spoke, Shen Ping'an's eyes passed over Mu Dao Ren and then looked at the two people wearing masks.

"I haven't made any enemies since I left Beijing, yet you two are plotting against me for no reason. Don't you think I deserve an explanation?"

Facing Shen Ping'an's words, the masked man at the ninth level of the Tiangang Realm sneered and said, "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being nosy. You showed up on Guangmingding for no reason and messed up our affairs."

"Okay! It's confirmed."

Shen Pingan felt relieved when he heard the other party's reply.

What Shen Ping'an feared most was that all his efforts would be in vain.

Now that we have heard this, it is clear that the person responsible for the poisoning in Tai'an City that day has been identified.

Raising his eyes slightly, Shen Pingan said softly: "I have already determined what I want to know. I will trouble Master Zhang with the next matter."

"Oh, I thought you would ask more questions, but I didn't expect it to end so soon."

The light voice spread slowly in the quiet night, but it startled Mu Dao Ren and the two masked men nearby.

At the moment Shen Ping'an finished speaking, two figures slowly emerged from the woods behind Shen Ping'an.

When they saw Zhang Sanfeng walking out slowly, both Mu Dao Ren and the two masked men beside him took a step back in fear.

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. The reason they chose to place the elixir that suppressed the Nine Flowers and Seven Poisons on Tianzhu Peak was because they were worried that Zhang Sanfeng would catch up with them as soon as his strength recovered.

But now, it has not been a quarter of an hour since they came down from Tianjun Peak.

With Song Yuanqiao and others' attainments in Qinggong, it is impossible for them to go to Tianzhu Peak in such a short time to retrieve the elixir for Zhang Sanfeng to take.

With a look of shock on his face, Taoist Mu couldn't help but shout, "What's going on? Didn't you say that after being poisoned by the Nine Flowers and Seven Poisons Powder, he couldn't mobilize his internal Qi without taking that pill?"

However, in response to Mu Dao Ren's question, the two masked men next to him found it difficult to respond.

Their eyes met, and both of them noticed the same signal in each other's eyes.

"escape!"

However, at the moment when the two men's internal qi were mobilized, Zhang Sanfeng appeared in front of them without knowing when, and gently placed his hands on their shoulders.

"Earlier in Wudang, I performed a play with you two. Now, I'd like to ask you to cooperate with me. How about that?"

As he spoke, mellow true energy instantly surged into the two men's bodies, sealing the major acupoints around them, causing them to lose control of their hands and feet instantly.

Seeing the two people being subdued by Zhang Sanfeng in an instant, Mu Dao Ren was so frightened that he felt cold to the bone.

He stomped his right foot on the ground and his body shot to the side like a cannonball.

"Hey!"

However, before Mu Dao Ren ran far away, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly sighed.

I don't know whether he was sighing that Mu Dao Ren was naive and thought that he still wanted to escape, or sighing that Mu Dao Ren still had no regrets.

The next moment, Zhang Sanfeng's internal energy surged and he rushed in front of Mu Dao Ren in the blink of an eye.

The moment the true energy touched Mu Dao Ren, Mu Dao Ren felt as if he was stuck and could no longer move forward an inch.

When the true energy in Zhang Sanfeng's body circulated, Mu Dao Ren was like a puppet, and was pulled back to the position where he had just stood by this sticky force.

Taking in the situation ahead, Shen Pingan couldn't help but shook his head.

"The gap in strength is too big."

Zhang Sanfeng's strength is beyond the reach of ordinary warriors.

Even when Shen Ping'an used the cultivation level card to temporarily raise his own cultivation to the ninth level of Tiangang Realm on Guangmingding, he was still unable to fight back against the profound Zhang Sanfeng, let alone the three people in front of him.

To Zhang Sanfeng, neither the Taoist Mu nor the two masked men were much different from ordinary people.

After controlling the Taoist Mu, a stream of true energy flowed out from Zhang Sanfeng's hands, directly shattering the masks on the faces of the two people in front of him who were also unable to move, revealing two faces that were so ordinary that they would be inconspicuous in the crowd.

He walked to the side and picked up the pigeon on the ground.

Pulling out the note from the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, there were only four simple words on it: "Everything goes well." After handing the note to Zhang Sanfeng, Shen Pingan ignored the Taoist monk beside him and said to the two warriors in front of him: "Tell me about your identities?"

However, in response to Shen Ping'an's question, the two warriors in front of him had no intention of speaking at all. They just lowered their heads and said nothing.

At this moment, a faint fishy and sweet smell suddenly entered Shen Ping'an's nose.

"Ok?"

As the fishy and sweet smell entered his nose, Shen Pingan, who sensed something was wrong, instantly flashed in front of the two men, just in time to see the black blood sliding down the corners of their mouths.

As if he had noticed something was wrong, Zhang Sanfeng raised his hands that were on the shoulders of the two men.

Without the support of Zhang Sanfeng's strength, the two men suddenly collapsed to the ground.

His cheeks were black.

It was obvious that he committed suicide by taking poison.

Looking at the two people lying on the ground without making a sound, not only Zhang Sanfeng, but even Yan Shisan who was standing beside them couldn't help but narrow his eyes and asked, "How could they commit suicide so decisively?"

His eyes fell on the two people in front of him. Shen Pingan thought for a moment, then raised his finger and flicked it.

In an instant, dozens of inch-wide sword energies meandered through the air and landed on the major acupoints on the two men's bodies, leaving more than a dozen penetrating wounds.

But the two people on the ground still didn't react at all, as if they had lost all hope of survival.

After confirming that the two men were indeed dead, Shen Pingan took a few steps forward and searched their bodies.

In the end, apart from two medicine bottles and some gold leaves, nothing else was found on the two men.

"So clean?"

After muttering something, Shen Pingan turned around and looked at Mu Dao Ren, whose face was gradually showing a look of despair.

His gaze lingered on Mu Dao Ren's face for a moment, and Shen Ping'an walked up to Mu Dao Ren and placed his hand on his wrist.

After a few breaths, Shen Pingan let go of his hand, shook his head and walked back to Yan Shisan.

Seeing this, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but ask, "Young friend, don't you have anything you want to ask?"

Shen Pingan sighed and said, "These two people continued to wear masks even after leaving Wudang. It's obvious that they are extremely wary of Senior Mu."

"Plus, the poison has already entered Senior Mu's heart. It will take at most a quarter of an hour for the poison to take effect."

"Even if I wanted to ask, I'm afraid you wouldn't know the answer."

As he spoke, Shen Pingan couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the cruelty of these two people.

After all, Mu Dao Ren is a warrior at the seventh level of Tiangang Realm, and he is also a top swordsman who has comprehended the meaning of sword.

Even among the top forces, he is considered an absolute master.

But after taking advantage of the witness, these two people immediately prepared to kill him to silence him.

Not just ordinary caution.

Upon learning that he was actually poisoned, Mu Daoren shuddered and looked at Shen Pingan in horror and said, "Impossible, I'm not poisoned at all, you're talking nonsense."

Shen Ping'an just glanced at Mu Dao Ren lightly, then slowly turned around and walked a few steps to the side, without paying any attention to Mu Dao Ren's thoughts.

Seeing this, Zhang Sanfeng sighed softly and then slowly walked towards Mu Dao Ren.

Looking at Zhang Sanfeng walking towards him, Mu Daoren's face showed panic. He wanted to retreat, but his body was still firmly stuck by the sticky force on Zhang Sanfeng.

He could only watch as Zhang Sanfeng walked up to him step by step, raised his hand and slapped him on the top of his head.

There was no dragging of the feet.

"Crack!"

Along with the sound of a broken bone, the Ming Dynasty lost a top swordsman.

Shen Ping'an didn't find it strange that Zhang Sanfeng killed Mu Dao Ren so decisively.

Although Wudang restrained Zhang Sanfeng, the number one martial artist in the Ming Dynasty, but after all, this Wudang Master Zhang was still the ruthless man who spent a decade to eliminate demons.

[Ding, congratulations on achieving the achievement, Revenge, achievement points +1000.]

It was also after Mu Dao Ren's death that a system prompt message suddenly popped up in front of Shen Ping'an.

After glancing at this new achievement, Shen Pingan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

If it weren't for the desire for revenge, Shen Ping'an wouldn't have been so obsessed with finding out the mastermind behind the poisoning that day.

Next to him, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but feel regretful as he watched Mu Daoren fall to the ground and gradually become silent.

It was not only because of the twenty years of friendship between him and Mu Dao Ren, but also because he felt sorry for the loss of a master in the Tiangang realm in Wudang.

After exhaling a breath of foul air, Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and said, "Let's go! I guess Yuanqiao and the others must be getting anxious waiting."

Shen Ping'an nodded slightly in acknowledgement.

Immediately, the three of them set off again and quickly headed towards Wudang.

The three bodies were left alone, gradually becoming stiff in the night wind.
