Chapter 141 Falling off the cliff and entering the village
On the other side of the cliff, thick fog spread in all directions, as if floating in clouds.
Shi He's eyes were bright, and the long sword in his hand was leaning on the edge of the steel cable, with a cold light trembling on the tip of the sword.
With his skill, he can cut off the steel cable in an instant, destroy the "bridge", and cause pedestrians on the steel cable to fall from a height of a hundred feet.
But Shi He did not cut down, not only because Zhao Qing was almost in front of him, but also because he saw the Mu Taoist who was also walking from the opposite side of the cliff.
The two looked at each other.
Immediately afterwards, something unexpected happened. The wooden Taoist who was still in the middle of the rope bridge actually cut off the steel cable himself.
Zhao Qing did not react and had no time to stop her. She looked back and saw a dazed figure falling from the clouds and disappearing quickly.
Shi He didn't seem to react. The moment Mu Taoren fell, this faceless man's face changed significantly, showing complete surprise.
And at the next moment, he jumped into the air, waved the long sword in his hand, and there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, before it fell down towards Zhao Qing who also jumped into the air.
】
This sword light suddenly surged in mid-air, shining with dazzling light in the sun.
One end of the steel cable below is still connected to the cliff, but the other end has quickly fallen downwards with the wooden Taoist, and can no longer be used as the focus of Qinggong.
Zhao Qing raised his energy and jumped up. If he could withstand Shi He's downward slash, he would undoubtedly be knocked off the cliff by the force of the counter-shock.
Shi He's eyes flashed with excitement. He recognized Zhao Qing's identity and knew that the other party had defeated Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng, and perhaps Mu Daoren.
But no matter what, no one can resist him under his sword that occupies the right time, place and people.
The strongest swordsman in the world is about to be defeated. Even a person as cold-hearted as a ghost like him can't help but have a different feeling.
However, in the face of these swords that can be said to be fatal, Zhao Qing's expression remained calm.
Her sword has been handed out.
It's not actually a sword, it's just the black gold whip that I got earlier.
When the two swords intersect, they will be separated at the first touch.
Zhao Qing's figure rose three feet, and Shi He's figure dropped two feet.
In that brief moment of contact, the two sides clashed with each other more than ten times, and in the end she used Shi He as a stepping stone to raise her own height.
Shi He's confident sword not only failed to defeat his opponent, but instead pulled him into danger.
However, Shi He did not fall into the abyss.
He suddenly took a long breath, and turned several times in the air like a ghost, and finally fell back to the original cliff in a thrilling manner.
However, after Shi He stood still again, Zhao Qing had also fallen down, and he landed further away from the edge of the cliff.
She thrust out the sword gently, which didn't seem very clever, but the force covered the opponent's body for several feet, and the sharp sword energy was ready to go.
Shi He also drew his sword, as if it had brought forth a terrifying bolt of lightning, which instantly separated the clouds and mist several feet in front of him and headed towards Zhao Qing.
This was an extremely fast sword, so much so that the sword energy and the sound of breaking through the air arrived at the same time.
If we only talk about the speed of the sword, he has already surpassed Ye Gucheng.
But the skill of the moves is slightly inferior.
Many times, the gap in talent cannot be made up with hard work.
When he was the same age as Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, Shi He was only better than Wei Ziyun, Sima Ziyan and others, and there was a big gap between him and the real martial arts geniuses.
When he was the same age as Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, Shi He was only better than Wei Ziyun, Sima Ziyan and other swordsmen, and there was a big gap between him and the top martial arts geniuses.
A genius like the little old man Wu Ming has the ability to become famous all over the world even before he is sixteen years old.
However, although Shi He is not such an astonishing genius, he has practiced swordsmanship diligently for decades, and with the guidance of famous teachers, his swordsmanship is absolutely extraordinary.
His sword is extremely fast and powerful. It can be said that the magic is found in the dullness, and the power is found in the solidity. It is simplified from the "Nine Palace Sword" that dominated the martial arts in the Central Plains in Wudang, and removed the Taoist sword.
The meaning of Zhongzheng and peace is added with some ruthless flavor.
There is no doubt that facing an opponent like Zhao Qing, Shi He no longer dared to hide his Wudang origin and used all his strength.
But his long sword, which was strong enough to cut through solid rock and penetrate fine steel, was defeated by Zhao Qing's long whip at the first touch.
I saw Shi He's wrist trembling for a while, and he could hardly hold the sword firmly. His body swayed and then retreated.
With this retreat, he retreated past the edge of the cliff and fell downwards, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Could it be that the Mu Tao people designed some kind of mechanism under the steel cable bridge that can serve as a buffer for falling off the cliff? What are they trying to do in order to escape my sight?
Did Mu Tao Ren want to regret the exchange of secret books?
Zhao Qing stared at the clouds and mist between the cliffs and thought for a moment. Instead of waiting any longer, he turned around and walked inside along a road.
Although there was probably something strange under the cliff, she still didn't want to do such a dangerous thing as jumping down with the two of them.
No matter what the hell Mu Taoist is up to, now that he has arrived at Ghost Villa, it is only natural to clean up the evildoers inside. It is best to force him out.
……
A valley, a very winding path.
On both sides of the road, there are various trees and some unknown flowers and plants. Under the sunlight, they have a vibrant beauty.
This is Ghost Villa, where dozens of evildoers who have been protected by Lao Daobaozi live.
These people all had a glorious history in the past. They were either children of wealthy families or martial arts heroes who dominated the area. Not only were they high-status, but their martial arts skills must also be good, otherwise they would not be qualified to come to this ghost villa at all.
Zhao Qing was walking on the road when she suddenly saw a big, shiny black dog, wagging its tail at her, then running in front of her, as if leading the way for her.
Could this be a dog that understands human nature, understands Zhao Qing's current needs, and wants to go to the place where people gather earlier?
Zhao Qing also followed the dog for a while until she saw a house in the distance.
The black dog wagged its tail again and slowly approached her, as if it wanted to take credit and get a reward.
Just when it was only a few feet away from Zhao Qing, a hand suddenly stretched out from the dog's belly.
A man's hand held a knife. When he raised his hand, the knife flew out and hit Zhao Qing's abdomen.
This move is an accident among accidents. How many people in the world can escape this knife?
