Chapter 41: Qijue Hall
Having such a person following you all the time will inevitably make you feel unhappy no matter how you look at it.
But it's really not easy to get rid of it.
No matter how Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun disguised themselves or hid themselves, this person always came to them like a cat smelling fish.
It was annoying, but at the same time, there was nothing that could be done about him for the moment.
After all, whether it is Su Mo or Yang Xiaoyun, they can certainly be cruel and ruthless to evil people.
However, facing a person who doesn't fight back when you beat him, doesn't respond when you scold him, and only wants to borrow my sword, and doesn't borrow it by force... you can't just kill him with one slap, right?
After a few days of stalemate, one night, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun were delayed by a small incident on the road and missed their destination.
I can only sleep outdoors on the roadside in the mountains for one night.
Next to the fire, two people sat opposite each other, looking into the dark night. Yang Xiaoyun spoke softly:
"It only takes about half a month to reach Yuqing Mountain... They haven't made any movement yet."
"Maybe I'm not ready..."
Su Mo used a wooden stick to poke at the fire: "I think if we just attack directly, I'm afraid there will be no return. If I were them, I would probably think of another way."
"oh?"
Yang Xiaoyun's eyes lit up: "If it were you, what method would you use?"
“That’s hard to say.”
Su Mo pondered for a moment: "For example, disturbing a pond of water... and taking advantage of the situation?"
"Fishing in troubled waters?"
Yang Xiaoyun raised her eyebrows slightly and suddenly looked into the darkness: "Is that the man?"
"no."
Su Mo shook his head.
The night was silent and deep. A voice was heard among the shadows after a long time. A figure appeared at this time and came in front of the two people in a blink of an eye.
The man looked exhausted, as if he had traveled a long way. When he arrived and saw the fire, he stopped to take a few breaths, then looked at Su Mo and the other man.
He clasped his fists slightly and smiled heartily: "You two... I am on the road and want to find a place to stay temporarily by the light of a fire. I wonder if it is convenient for you two?"
"inconvenient."
Su Mo immediately shook his head.
Yang Xiaoyun looked at Su Mo thoughtfully, lowered his head, and casually grasped the silver gun placed aside.
The visitor seemed a little confused. He didn't expect Su Mo to answer like this.
He stood there for a moment, dazed.
After a long while, he gave a bitter smile and said, "I have no ill intentions. I just want to borrow the fire to keep warm. Please..."
As the voice reached this point, a sneer was suddenly heard coming from not far away.
"It's ridiculous. People don't agree, but you're still here and shamelessly asking for trouble."
The voice was cold, yet had a sharp edge.
The expression of the man who arrived earlier suddenly changed: "You came so quickly ..."
Without hesitation, he turned around and clasped his fists towards Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun:
"Excuse me for disturbing you. Goodbye."
After he finished speaking, he took a step and flew into the air, which showed his extraordinary martial arts skills.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the man jumped out of the fire, he uttered a muffled groan of extreme shock and anger: "You..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he flew back the same way he flew away.
The figure fell beside the fire, covered in blood.
The sword had been stabbed in the chest.
A person walked out from each side of the darkness, one of them holding a long sword, the sword drenched in blood.
The other one shook his head slightly, and sighed as he walked forward:
"Since I know you are good at Qinggong, I will naturally be on guard. I have followed you all the way here. You don't think I am just chasing you for fun, do you?"
"...You...are unreasonable!"
The man on the ground was pale, his blood was lost, his internal energy was insufficient, and he could not speak fluently.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but glance at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, and angrily said to them: "Everyone has his own responsibility for his own actions. I came here today and met these two people by chance, but I didn't expect to cause trouble. If you want to kill me, kill me, and don't involve others."
"Others?"
The two looked at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun and shook their heads slightly: "Who is in this situation today? Who can remain unscathed after encountering this situation? If you must blame someone, first, blame them for their bad luck, and second, blame you... for causing them to suffer such misfortune."
After saying this, he didn't seem to want to say more, and just shook his hand lightly:
"Kill them all."
The tone was understated, and it didn't sound like murder, but like just a small thing.
The man holding the sword had a blank expression on his face. He raised the sword and was about to kill someone.
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun looked at each other, with helplessness in their eyes.
Just when the man was about to draw his sword to kill someone, he heard the sound of breaking wind. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people appeared in this quiet forest.
After these dozen people settled down, a man stepped out and glanced at everyone.
The man who just killed people like killing chickens immediately changed his attitude:
"I have met the Sword Master. I did not expect that this matter would require the Sword Master to come in person. This is my incompetence. Please punish me, Sword Master."
"It is indeed punishable."
The Sword Master glanced at the man coldly and said, "We are clearly recovering lost property, but you want to kill people at will. The reputation of my Qi Jue Tang has been ruined by people like you."
Qijue Hall?
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun looked at each other.
There was something strange in their expressions.
Qi Jue Tang is a relatively strange organization.
Speaking of a sect, it doesn't seem like a sect. Although there is a tradition within the sect, it is not in the form of master-disciple transmission.
Instead, inheritance is based on contribution. Every time your contribution can be accumulated in the book of merit, and then you can exchange your contribution for inheritance within the hall.
Qijue Hall is known for the seven unique skills, which are fist, gun, whip, hammer, knife, sword and qi!
They correspond to seven sets of martial arts, and also seven types of weapons.
These seven weapons are controlled by seven people respectively.
Feng Wuxiang, the head of Qijue Hall, commands the Qijue and is high above.
The seven weapon masters are second only to one man and above ten thousand people .
Therefore, this organization is more like a gang than a sect.
However, they do not interfere in any gang disputes, so there is no conflict between them and the Luofeng League, and they keep themselves safe in the gap between sects and gangs.
Another point is that Qi Jue Tang has had a bad reputation in recent years.
Although they consider themselves to be a famous and upright sect, their methods are said to be becoming more and more ruthless in private, and are gradually being despised by the righteous underworld.
Now it seems that this is true.
Just by looking at the way that man killed people at will, you can tell that the Qi Jue Tang treats human life as a joke.
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun had never thought that they would encounter the Qi Jue Hall when they came to this place...
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the man kneeling on the ground say:
"I deserve death, but please understand, Sword Master, what this man stole is of great value and involves secrets. You must not leave him alive!"
"shut up!"
The Sword Master was furious and pointed his finger: "We are a famous sect in the martial arts world. How can we do such a thing as killing people to silence them? If you say one more word and treat human life as worthless, you will be the first one I will kill!!"
