Chapter 189: Chapter 126: Planning by Man, Wind and Rain from All Directions

"Who exactly is this person?"

Deputy Prefect, side hall.

Even Yuwen Ying didn’t have the mood to sit and drink at this moment. He waved his hand, dismissing the singers below the stage, and looked solemnly at a large rat below the hall.

Right now, the Golden-Haired Rat looked rather pitiful.

Not only had it lost one of its eyes and was bleeding, but its large front tooth was chipped halfway. The worst was that its long tail was severed from the base, causing it to cry out in pain.

"Such a scoundrel! Daring to injure my life-bound Spirit Beast, whoever it is, is doomed."

A middle-aged man in purple clothing, his eyes flashing coldly, stroked the rat’s golden fur while applying medicine, and spoke harshly.

This person was none other than Master Anman of the Celestial Witchcraft Sect. He had sent the Spirit Pet to investigate, hoping to take the opportunity to directly kill the injured Han Wushang.

He thought that by relying on his mid-stage innate Spirit Pet, coupled with Celestial Witchcraft, it should be possible to kill Han Wushang, who was heavily injured, easily. Even if Han Wushang was in perfect health, dealing with the rat should not have been too likely.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered ahead of time and forcibly repelled, injuring the Spirit Rat.

Really unexpected.

For experts of the Celestial Witchcraft Sect, the strength of their Spirit Pet was equal to half of their own.

Now that the rat was hurt, his heart and spirit were also shaken and backlashed, reducing his combat power by thirty percent, leaving him angry.

"Second Master, please calm down," Yuwen Ying sighed.

Even he couldn’t suppress his expression.

"Earlier, Aunt Bi’s Spirit Snake was severely wounded, near death. Now, even the Golden Rat can’t do anything to them; truly worthy of the Four Daoist Sects’ legacy. Even if a ship is ruined, there are still thousands of nails; their methods are extraordinary.

However, did Second Master see clearly that person who struck? It wasn’t Han Wushang?"

"No, I know the defense of Little Gold. Even Han Wushang’s Primordial Golden Body Technique couldn’t harm a hair of it in a short period of time.

The one who struck was a youth in his twenties, wielding a ridiculously fast Sword Technique, and merely seeing it meant being struck. It had a sense of annihilating all things.

My Golden Light Body-Protecting Spell was touched by that sword light and immediately broken through, and Little Gold was so drastically injured by the sword strike that it almost shattered into pieces..."

Recalling the sword intent akin to a clear breeze and bright moon felt through the Spirit Pet, Anman’s eyes became more resentful.

He regretted not being present himself.

Otherwise, dealing with his Spirit Rat wouldn’t have been so easy.

That sword light was strange; merely touching it with his heart and spirit caused an immediate collapse, not knowing what technique was employed.

"Swift Sword?"

Yuwen Ying’s expression shifted: "Could it be Tian Qi?"

Encountering powerful young people, encountering them consecutively indeed seemed curious during this period.

He thought of his own mobilization to capture Princess Mingyue, only to be disrupted by a seemingly insignificant young man, resulting in losses and failures.

Even his close companion, the Divine Eagle, was shot dead, causing Yuwen Ying’s heart to ache with anger.

He remembered that the rank 305 on the Hidden Dragon List was not only endowed with Primordial Technique but also extraordinary Divine Power, with notable Hard Skills...

Swift Sword, Primordial Technique, young age, formidable strength, fierce methods.

All matched up.

"It shouldn’t be him." The middle-aged man in purple also slightly hesitated.

When pursuing Tian Qi, he hadn’t yet arrived at Xingqing Prefecture and didn’t know the situation at that time.

However, according to rumors, that young man was fleeing back then, though he killed many pursuers, he was severely injured under the Northwest Lifeless Sword Slave’s sword.

His strength was at best comparable to the peak of ordinary top-tier Jianghu martial artists without a prestigious inheritance.

Needless to say, dealing with experts who opened the Ren and Du Meridians and cultivated Innate True Qi and Innate Martial Intent.

Even facing powerful top-tier practitioners who developed a hint of Martial Intent rudiments, he wouldn’t be capable.

This was merely half a month.

No matter how it was, it was impossible for him to have become so strong.

Martial Arts can deceive, appearance can deceive, but combat power cannot deceive.

"If Tian Qi were that powerful, would he need to flee so embarrassingly?

Could it be that he loves being battered, enjoys being chased?"

When Anman said this, the people around all nodded.

If someone could in half a month’s time, without significant time spent cultivating, leap several levels, progressing from struggling against top-tier fighters to reaching the level of battling mid-stage innate experts...

Then what would they toil for in summer or winter practice for?

They would rather lie at home and wait for a miracle to happen, strength would easily progress.

Beside them, a small, lean and shrewd man in light brocade clothing spoke in a heavy tone: "No need to worry, Thirteenth Prince; even if the Primordial Martial Arts Hall possesses two with innate combat power, it would be simple to suppress them.

No matter what foundation and methods that person has, if Master Doroghi takes action, it would surely be easily resolved."

This person, despite their unremarkable appearance and short stature, stood imposingly in the hall.

Among the four major Martial Halls in Xingqing Prefecture, his "Wind and Thunder Sword Hall" was more reputable than Changkong Martial Arts Hall.

Let alone the Primordial Martial Arts Hall...

Han Wushang was highly selective in accepting disciples for Qi Blood Body Refining talents, resulting in fewer disciples in his hall, and thereby having less prestige than Cheng Wuduan of the Wind and Thunder Sword Hall.

"Indeed, Hall Master Cheng is right, Master Doroghi ranks thirty-seventh on the Earth List, a renowned figure of few equals.

With his True Word Seal, adept at subduing monsters and demons, dealing with the mere Primordial Martial Arts Hall should be a simple matter."
