Chapter 42: Hunters often appear in the form of prey
"We haven't seen each other for many years. Why, Brother Langtao doesn't recognize Qin now?"
Qin Hao had no intention of concealing his identity. After all, Haitang Duoduo had already recognized his martial arts skills before, so he couldn't hide it.
Lang Tao's eyes narrowed, he looked Qin Hao up and down, and suddenly his eyes widened: "You are that boy."
"You are actually at the peak of the ninth rank!"
Qin Hao Langtao cupped his hands and smiled: "Luckily, I just made a breakthrough."
Hearing this, Lang Tao's face showed a solemn look, and he touched the two chain axes at his waist with both hands: "Today, I will avenge the shame of the past and risk my life!"
As he spoke, he threw a chain ax with his right hand and shot towards Qin Hao's throat.
Qin Hao casually hit the flying chain ax and shook his head helplessly: "Do you have to hit me?"
"Stop talking nonsense and take the move!" Lang Tao shouted. It has been eight years, and only he knows how he spent these eight years.
Originally, when he left seclusion this time, he was going to Qingguo to compete with Qin Hao again. Now that the other party came to his door, why not make him overjoyed?
Qin Hao was about to remind Sean to hide, but he found that the old boy had already gotten up from the ground and hid behind the boulder. He was indeed a cunning guy.
After the chain ax was knocked away, Lang Tao used his true energy to quickly retract the chain ax. At the same time, he glared at his legs and pounced on Qin Hao like a cheetah. The double chain ax cut through the air with a whistling sound.
A web of death was formed, covering Qin Hao.
Qin Hao's body was slightly sideways, and he responded with the "dragon shape" among the twelve shapes of Xingyi. His left hand was the palm, and his right hand made a fist. He used the "Green Dragon Exploring Claw" style to deflect the chain ax attack lightly, and at the same time, his right fist contained a domineering expression.
The real energy hit Lang Tao directly in the chest.
Langtao's reaction was also quick. He turned the ax handle and blocked the punch. The two sides collided with each other, causing a wave of air. Suddenly, the dust flew up, making people unable to open their eyes.
Sean, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he saw this scene. His era seemed to be over.
"One more move from me!"
After Langtao stood firm, he didn't stop at all. He shouted loudly, and the two axes danced like windmills. The shadows of the axes were heavy. With the blessing of the endless infuriating energy of Tiandao Kung Fu, the ground was smashed by the two chain axes, making pits and holes.
The crack marks an area three meters in diameter as a death zone.
However, in the face of Lang Tao's fierce offensive, Qin Hao remained calm, like a swimming dragon, shuttling between the gaps in the chain axe. It must be said that Lang Tao has indeed made great progress in recent years, and his moves have become more sophisticated.
There are fewer and fewer flaws.
However, having few flaws does not mean that there are none. Qin Hao suddenly focused his eyes, and suddenly broke through the obstacles of the ax shadow. His domineering Qi suddenly burst out, and his right foot was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lang Tao's abdomen. Lang Tao was shocked and angry, and withdrew his double axe.
It was too late to defend, so he could only cross his hands in front of his body, channel his whole body's energy into it, and take Qin Hao's fatal blow.
"Poof." Lang Tao spurted out a mouthful of blood, and was knocked back several meters away. His two legs stepped on the hard rock and forcedly stepped on two straight tracks.
"Stop, you can't beat me." Qin Hao took back his right leg and patted the dust on it.
After saying that, he was about to take Sean away, but he heard an angry shout from behind him.
"Stop, I'm not defeated yet!"
Veins popped up on Lang Tao's forehead. This feeling suddenly brought him back eight years ago. Thinking back to the pain he had suffered in the past eight years, he never wanted to live such a life again.
"Today, I will definitely defeat you!"
As Lang Tao spoke, his whole body's true energy exploded, and countless energies from heaven and earth poured into his body crazily.
Sean's eyes widened in surprise when he saw this scene: "Boy, are you crazy? If you continue like this, you will be burst by the energy of heaven and earth!"
At this time, blue veins popped up on Lang Tao's forehead, his eyes were bloodshot, and everything in his eyes turned into nothingness, leaving only Qin Hao's figure.
Lang Tao shouted loudly, and there was a faint cyan light flowing on the chain axe, as if it was given life, spinning around him, getting faster and faster, until it turned into two red whirlwinds, and the air was cut with a crackling sound.
The small stones and dead leaves that were rolled up on the grass were scattered in all directions as if they were ejected by invisible hands.
Lang Tao suddenly stared at his feet. He was like a cannonball shot from hell, carrying a destructive power that could destroy a city and a stronghold. He rushed straight towards Qin Hao. The whirlwind formed by the chain ax was like two huge bloody sickles.
, split the space, and vowed to strangle Qin Hao in this endless storm.
Facing Lang Tao's killing blow, Qin Hao's expression remained unchanged, his eyes were as bright as a torch, and the domineering Qi in his body was running to the extreme. Just when Lang Tao was approaching and the two bloody whirlwinds were about to touch Qin Hao, his figure strangely changed.
Side, almost parallel to the ground, with the "snake-like" agility of the Xingyi Fist, he slid incredibly through the gap in the whirlwind, avoiding this thunderous blow. At the same time, Qin Hao's true energy condensed in the palm of his hand, and with a move
Gong's Bagua's special skill "Flowers Hidden at the Bottom of the Leaves", flipped his palms and slapped Lang Tao on the back.
Lang Tao couldn't react in time, and felt as if he was struck by lightning on his back. Even though he used all his energy to resist, he was still staggered forward by the force of his palm. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the double-chain ax broke. He came out of his hand and inserted it in
On the stone platform not far away.
"Still defeated." Lang Tao spurted out a mouthful of blood and looked at Qin Hao unwillingly, who was only one step away from him, but he couldn't cross that step no matter what.
Qin Hao winked at Sean, who was looking at him in disbelief. The latter came back to his senses, stood up holding on to the rock, and followed Qin Hao down the mountain.
Looking at the two people's backs, Lang Tao could no longer hold on and fell straight to the ground.
After almost half an hour, Haitang Duoduo looked for traces of the fight, found the unconscious Lang Tao, and brought him back to Ku He's seclusion.
As a result, Kuhe was fighting fiercely with Wuzhu, and Haitang Duoduo had no choice but to shout at the waterfall: "Master, senior brother is dying, please come and take a look."
Kuhe heard this and immediately said to Wuzhu: "Let's not fight today."
"As long as you don't go out, it doesn't matter whether you fight or not." There was no expression on Wu Zhu's face.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ku He has no choice but to let Haitang Duoduo send the wolf peach in.
"Who beat your senior brother like this?" Ku He checked Lang Tao's injuries and frowned.
Haitang Duoduo shook her head: "I don't know, but Senior Brother Langtao received the Queen Mother's order and went to give Jinyiwei a heavy helping hand."
"Master, can senior brother be saved like this?"
Ku He didn't answer. He sat up in the cross-legged position of Lang Tao and put his hand on his back. Waves of green energy began to slowly circulate around Lang Tao's body.
After a long time, Ku He retracted his palms and said to Haitang Duoduo: "Put him on my bed and recuperate for a while. He probably won't be able to recover in a short time."
After Haitang Duoduo placed Lang Tao in place, she asked suspiciously: "Master, didn't you say that among the nine ranks in the world, the senior brother ranks among the top four? Why was the injury so serious this time? Could it be that the one who did it was the grand master?"
Ku He shook his head gently: "If the Grand Master takes action, how can he still survive?"
"And among the four great masters in the world, except for the one from Nanqing Palace who has not been born for a long time, the other two are very familiar with each other as teachers. This is not their handiwork. This true energy is extremely overbearing..."
Speaking of this, Ku He and Begonia Duoduo thought of someone at the same time.
"That boy that Ye Liuyun brought back then."
"Qin Hao!"
Haitang Duoduo slapped her thigh: "He was the one who stopped me from killing Sean a few days ago. I fought him a few times and felt that I couldn't beat him, so I came back."
For a moment, Haitang Duoduo felt lucky that she had caught the opportunity quickly and did not fight Qin Hao, otherwise she would be the one lying on the bed now.
"What state is this kid in now?" Ku He asked with a frown.
"The pinnacle of the ninth grade."
Hearing this, Ku He couldn't help but be a little surprised: "I remember eight years ago, that boy was only ten years old, right?"
"At the age of eighteen, at the peak of the ninth rank, is Qingguo about to produce another great master?"
Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent surged in Ku He's eyes. Originally, Northern Qi was inferior to Nan Qing in terms of national strength. That is to say, the mysterious grand master in Nan Qing's palace remained hidden for some unknown reason. Only then could Northern Qi compete with Nan Qing like this. for many years.
If Nanqing had three great masters, even Northern Qi and Dongyi City combined would not be Nanqing's opponent.
"Wuzhu, give me a day to deal with something. You can fight as long as you want afterwards." Ku He spoke with a hint of pleading in his tone.
However, Wu Zhu shook his head stubbornly: "No, if you want to go out, you must first pass my level."
Ku He was so angry that he almost wanted to curse, but he had no choice. The monster in front of him came out of the temple. He thought of many ways, not to mention defeating the opponent, he couldn't even get rid of it. The opponent seemed to have the ability to predict. You can always guess what he wants to do in advance.
With no choice, Ku He could only whisper to Haitang Duoduo: "Go and keep an eye on that kid. If you can, try to keep him here."
"Master, I can't beat him."
"If you can't win, you can think of other ways. If it doesn't work, go to the Queen Mother for help and just say this is what I want."
"Then master, will Sean still kill?"
"Don't dare to talk nonsense. Leave him alone for the time being. That boy named Qin is my most serious problem in Northern Qi."
"I understand, Master. I'll leave first, and you can fight slowly."
........
On the other side, Qin Hao and Sean were resting in a cave. Although Qin Hao blocked Lang Tao's killing blow in time, Sean's injuries were not light. He had been locked up in a dungeon for twenty years, and now he was in a cave.
Shen Sheng was tortured there, and someone else would have been unable to bear it.
Looking at Qin Hao who was leaning against the rabbit by the fire, Sean couldn't help but have a faint smile on his face.
"Come to think of it, how many times have you saved me?"
"Why, is Senior Xiao planning to repay his kindness and tell me the complete 'Tian Dao Cultivation Technique'?"
Faced with Qin Hao's teasing, Sean smiled: "That's not possible, at least I have to wait until I'm completely safe before I can give it to you."
"Senior Xiao, if I give you to Ku He, can you get the technique in exchange?"
Sean raised his eyebrows and said playfully: "If Ku He sees you, he will definitely kill you immediately."
"Oh? How can you see it?"
"A little monster like you will one day become a grand master. By then, Nanqing will have three grand masters, and unification of the world will be just around the corner. Do you think Ku He will give you a chance to continue growing?"
Qin Hao gave half of the roasted rabbit meat to Sean: "So, what Senior Xiao wants to say is that if I want to get the 'Tian Dao Technique', I can only cooperate with you, right?"
"We can cooperate in much more than that." Sean's eyes narrowed.
"Oh? I don't see what else I want from Senior Xiao." Qin Hao said nonchalantly.
Sean took a big bite of rabbit meat and said while chewing: "Of course I don't have what you want now, but if I make a comeback and reorganize Tiqi..."
Before Xiao Xiao could finish his words, Qin Hao interrupted with feigned impatience: "Senior Xiao seems to be too optimistic about his situation. The people who want to kill you are not only Jin Yiwei Zhen Fu Shi Sheng, but also Grand Master Ku He.
"Whether you can survive or not is a matter of debate, so why talk about making a comeback?"
"Shen Shen? He's just a clown. If Chen Pingping, an old dog, hadn't planned to harm me, how could it be his turn to dominate? Jin Yiwei, huh, compared to my Tiqi, they are just a bunch of rabble. As long as we kill Shen Shen,
, I can regain the importance of the Queen Mother, and then for the sake of the Queen Mother, Ku He will not touch me easily." Sean analyzed in a calm tone.
Qin Hao nodded secretly. He was worthy of being the King of the Night with the same name as Chen Pingping. He had been imprisoned for so many years and had just been released. He was able to learn about the situation in the outside world and find the key points of the problem from some broken information.
"Even if you make a comeback as you said, what benefits will I get?" Qin Hao looked unconcerned.
Sean put the remaining rabbit meat into his mouth, clapped his greasy hands, sat down in front of Qin Hao, and said seriously: "As long as you help me kill Zhong Zhong, all the information about Tiqi can be shared with you in the future. , and my adopted son Uesugi Tiger is the general of the Northern Qi Dynasty. With many friends and many paths, Qingguo is not your only choice."
"Hmph, your plan is pretty good. I'll help you kill Zhong Zhong, but you still want to betray the country and surrender to Northern Qi?" Qin Hao sneered.
Sean shook his head unhurriedly and sighed: "The flying birds are all good, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooking. This has been the case since ancient times. If the Qing Kingdom unified the world, how do you think Emperor Qing would treat you who are opening up new territories?" General?"
"High officials and generous salaries? Granted titles and fiefdoms? They just keep you in captivity and treat you like fat sheep. Whenever you become unhappy, you will be pulled out and slaughtered."
Qin Hao pretended to have a troubled expression, and Sean continued to lobby after seeing this.
"It doesn't mean that you must betray the country and come to Northern Qi. It's just a choice. If one day Emperor Qing treats you unfairly, I, Sean, swear that I will help you introduce him to the Queen Mother. When the time comes that you and I will join forces, will Northern Qi be the final say for us? "
Qin Hao asked: "If there is such a day in the future, what will happen if Senior Xiao fails to fulfill his promise?"
Sean immediately said: "Do you know why Ku He must kill me? Because I know one of his secrets, as well as the secrets about the temple. If you agree to help me, I will tell you all these secrets, like How about half-truths, heaven and earth will destroy you?"
"This matter still needs to be considered by me."
"It's a very important matter, so we need to think about it carefully."
Sean's eyes showed excitement.
Qin Hao secretly smiled in his heart, hunters often appear in the form of prey.
