Chapter 174 Interception
"No news yet?" the old man asked, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
"Elder Huilong, not yet." The Hua Jin martial artist wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied tremblingly.
This Huajin martial artist is the owner of this martial arts school and also the person in charge of the Jinlie Sect in Qinghe County.
"How could there be none? What do your people do for a living? Two hours have passed, we should have found the signal they left behind!"
Elder Long, also known as the elder of Jinlie Sect and Pang Tianpeng's master, Long Xiaotian glared at the Hua Jin martial artist with flaming eyes. The terrifying aura finally burst out from him like a volcanic eruption, forcing the Hua Jin martial artist to retreat again and again, with cold sweat on his forehead pouring down more and more.
"This, this, Elder Long, could it be that Senior Brother Mao and the others..." The Hua Jin martial artist wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke cautiously while stuttering.
The Hua Jin martial artist looks much older than Mao Zongjun and started practicing earlier than Mao Zongjun, but Mao Zongjun is a great bone refining martial artist. Although they are of the same generation, he has to call Mao Zongjun "senior brother".
“This is impossible! Zong Jun and Tian Peng both have a solid foundation and are in their prime. Even among the great Bone Refining Martial Artists, they are the best. What’s more, they are accompanied by thirty martial artists. Even if there are two great Bone Refining Martial Artists in the middle stage, it is impossible for them to kill them all!” Long Xiaotian said with a sullen face.
"Is it possible that Senior Brother Mao and his companions will fight with Hua Chi and both will suffer losses, and then someone will reap the benefits! It is said that the people from Biyun Sect and Hou Family have not returned yet." Hua Jin martial artist hesitated and said cautiously.
"The people from Biyun Sect and Hou family haven't come back yet? How is that possible?" Long Xiaotian looked surprised.
"There's news from people in Xuanwu Valley saying that the ones who killed them should be the Jinjian Sect and the Cui family. It's very likely that the Biyun Sect and the other two discovered Huachi first, and then fought with Huachi to a draw, and then people from the Jinjian Sect and the Cui family arrived. And there's news that Cui Shanhe and Feng Ziluo were seriously injured." said the Huajin martial artist.
"Then this is most likely true! Cui Shanhe was born with supernatural powers and is in his prime, so his strength must be better than Hou Hu. As for Feng Ziluo, although he was injured twenty years ago and his realm stagnated, and he no longer has the sharp edge of the past, Shen Yan is definitely not his opponent.
They took advantage of the fact that Biyun Sect and the Hou Family were both injured in a fight with Hua Chi, so it was not surprising that the Biyun Sect and the Hou Family were annihilated. With the help of Hua Chi, it seems that the Cui Family and the Jinjian Sect can still look good for a few more years. "Long Xiaotian said.
Because of what happened to the Biyun Sect and the Hou family, Long Xiaotian finally felt a little more balanced and his expression eased a little.
"Speaking of the Cui family, I wonder if Elder Long has heard of the name of Xiao Qing, the martial arts genius from the Xiao family in Fangqiao City?" When the Hua Jin martial artist saw that Long Xiaotian's expression relaxed a little, he hesitated and asked.
"I did hear about her once when I was a guest at the Pang family in Fangqiao City. At that time, even Tianpeng was defeated by her. But later, when she and Old Man Xiao went out, they were attacked by masters of the Netherworld Sect and their strength was dissipated. She was no longer worth mentioning. What do you mean by suddenly mentioning her?" Long Xiaotian nodded, and when he said the latter part, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
"Elder Huilong, she also participated in the hunting in the Dragon Vein Land this time. When she was about to enter the Dragon Vein Gate, she was recognized by Senior Brother Pang. Judging from Senior Brother Pang's posture at that time, he wanted to find an opportunity to kill her in the Dragon Vein Land. I don't know if the two met later. And at that time, Cui Shanhe once told Xiao Qing in front of everyone to meet up with him after entering the Dragon Vein Land." The Hua Jin martial artist replied.
"It seems that this little girl from the Xiao family is really talented. She can even recover her strength! But if she really meets Tianpeng and the others, she will be lucky to escape!
You can just send someone to pass this news to Pang Qiwei, and he will naturally find a way to solve it. The most urgent thing is to send more people to find out the news about Tianpeng and others, and also increase the efforts to find out the situation of other families. "Long Xiaotian frowned and said.
To a big shot like him, no matter how talented Xiao Qing was, she was just a Hua Jin martial artist. He could kill her with ease, so why would he care about her?
"Yes, Elder Long, I will do it right away!" The Hua Jin martial artist bowed hurriedly.
After the Hua Jin martial artist left, Long Xiaotian sat on the rosewood chair for a while with a gloomy face. Suddenly, he slapped his hand on the armrest, stood up abruptly, and walked out of the lobby.
In the spacious courtyard outside the lobby, under a big tree, a giant eagle was tied.
The giant eagle's claws are black, flashing a dazzling and cold black light in the sun, while its wings are red, looking like burning flames in the sun.
It was the third-grade exotic bird, the Blood Goshawk, that Qin Ziling saw at the other end of the cave in Wuyang Mountain!
Long Xiaotian untied the rope and climbed onto the Blood Hawk.
The blood hawk spread its ten-meter-long wings and flew into the sky like a blood cloud, disappearing over the sky above Qinghe County in the blink of an eye.
The blood hawk flew over Panchi Mountain and circled in the air.
Long Xiaotian's face on the back of the Blood Goshawk became increasingly gloomy and ugly.
After a long time, Long Xiaotian let out a long roar towards the sky, pulled the rope around the blood hawk's neck, and signaled it to turn around and return to Qinghe County.
After the Blood Hawk circled in the air and turned its head, Long Xiaotian suddenly changed his mind and pulled the rope again.
The blood hawk circled again, turned around and flew away towards Fangqiao City.
The blood hawk was extremely fast, whizzing through the sky like a blood arrow.
In a blink of an eye, they flew over mountains, rivers, Jinliao County, and Qinghe County.
"It seems that Tianpeng is in great danger. Tianpeng's death will have a huge impact on the Pang family's control over Fangliao City. Pang Qiwei may have to make arrangements early!" Riding on the Blood Goshawk and looking towards the direction of Fangliao City, Long Xiaotian was in a very depressed mood.
Pang Tianpeng is not only his most powerful disciple, but his father Pang Qiwei is also the prefect of Fangliao County.
No matter how poor and remote Fangqiao County is, it is still a county after all, covering a large area, and it must have many precious resources hidden there.
Once Pang Qiwei completely controlled Fangliao County, without the constraints of other forces, he could mobilize a large number of people to search and plunder.
As Pang Tianpeng's master, Long Xiaotian will definitely get a lot of benefits.
But with the death of Pang Tianpeng, not only did it become much more difficult for the Pang family to completely control Fangqiao County, but he also lost a layer of relationship with the Pang family, leaving only one layer of relationship that was not yet revealed.
As his mood changed, most of Long Xiaotian's cold eyes turned black, revealing a strange and evil look.
The muscles on his long and narrow face kept twisting, becoming hideous and terrifying.
Then, Long Xiaotian's pair of black pupils scanned the area below like a falcon searching for prey.
Soon, Long Xiaotian discovered that in front and below him, there were two clouded leopard horses pulling a luxurious carriage galloping on the official road.
"Clouded leopard horse, two powerful martial artists driving the carriage, it seems that the people in the carriage are of some status! Hehe, they are actually three women. You deserve this bad luck, as I am in a bad mood and need to vent!" A cruel sneer appeared on Long Xiaotian's lips, and his pair of black pupils fell on the carriage, revealing a lustful, bloodthirsty and murderous look.
"Xue Cang, you can enjoy a feast today!" Long Xiaotian patted the Blood Goshawk's head.
The blood hawk let out a sharp cry and then swooped down like a flash of red lightning.
A pair of sharp black claws went straight towards the two men driving the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Qin Ziling, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and the water energy in his body began to circulate suddenly.
“Bang!”
The roof of the car blew off, and rags and sawdust flew everywhere.
Twelve water cloud swords shining with cold light, wrapped in rolling clouds, broke through the air from the roof of the car and killed the Blood Goshawk that was swooping down and Long Xiaotian who was riding on it.
"There is actually a Qi Refiner in the late stage of True Power! No, how come his True Power is so powerful!" Long Xiaotian, who was riding on the back of the Blood Goshawk, changed his expression slightly, and slapped his palm hard towards the ground below.
The power gushed out from the palm of his hand, forming a palm print as big as a door panel, with flames faintly leaping out of it, and it was so condensed that it looked like a real object.
The shadow of the flaming palm print fell downwards, stirring up gusts of heat and strong wind.
Before the palm print touched the Water Cloud Sword Formation, the rolling clouds rolled back, revealing a number of Water Cloud swords emitting cold air, which suddenly slowed down in speed.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Dull sounds rang out frequently in the air.
As soon as the Water Cloud Swords stabbed into the flaming palm print, their cold light immediately dimmed and they fell down one after another.
However, the flaming palm print only dimmed a little but did not disappear, still whistling and hitting downwards.
"Hmph! You're just a Qi Refiner, so what if you have powerful true energy?" When Long Xiaotian saw twelve flying swords being knocked down with one palm, a disdainful sneer appeared on his face, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.
The power of those twelve Water Cloud Swords was no less than that of a great Qi Refiner at the initial stage of True Essence.
However, Long Xiaotian is a great martial artist in the late bone refining stage. His blood and energy are vigorous and his strength is condensed and powerful. Only a great Qi refining master in the middle true essence stage can barely fight with him.
There is still a long way to go before a great Qi Refiner at the initial stage of Zhen Yuan realm.
Qin Ziling's face in the carriage changed again, and he had already soared into the sky. He raised his palm knife, and the power gushed out, forming a two-meter-long phantom of a big knife that exuded a cold breath. He chopped fiercely at the flaming palm print falling from the sky.
Almost at the same time, a nimble figure with a sharp green light stabbed towards the flaming palm print like lightning.
"Bang! Bang!" Two loud noises.
The huge flaming palm print suddenly exploded, forming a terrifying air wave that rushed in all directions.
Qin Ziling somersaulted and landed on the ground.
Xiao Qing was like a kite with a broken string. He fell four or five meters to the ground, then slid two or three meters on the ground before he could steady himself.
The hand holding the gun was shaking constantly, her plump breasts heaving violently in the sunlight, and her eyes looking towards Long Xiaotian and Blood Goshawk were filled with incomparable horror.
