Chapter 143: Confrontation

Qi Xuansu saw that Zhang Yuelu was safe, and thought that Liu Hu was still outside. He was afraid that the people from the "inn" would come back and take Liu Hu away, so he stopped chasing Zhang Yuelu and turned back the same way.

When Qi Xuansu jumped off the waterfall, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. Although he tried to dodge, he lost his balance and plunged directly into the small pool below.

Qi Xuansu climbed out of the pool in a panic, soaking wet, and looked up.

Zhang Yuelu was standing above the waterfall, but he did not jump down, but turned and left.

Qi Xuansu was awed, knowing that Zhang Yuelu was gradually dissolving the "Bliss Needle" and was going to turn defense into offense.

Qi Xuansu did not dare to stay and ran all the way out of the forest. When he returned to the original place, he saw that Liu Hu was safe and sound, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

While the two were fighting, Liu Hu had already collected Qi Xuansu's seven "Seven Phoenix Feathers", four "Bliss Needles", "Dragon Hand Gun", and double swords and handed them to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu was surprised and asked, "Where is the person who was hit by the 'Seven Phoenix Feathers'?"

"Dead." Liu Hu said concisely.

Qi Xuansu looked at his double swords. Needless to say, the broken sword was useless, but the intact single sword was covered with blood. He immediately understood.

Liu Hu was the daughter raised by Bodhisattva Man after all. Although she was taciturn, she was definitely not a spoiled lady who dared not even kill a chicken.

Qi Xuansu put the intact single sword and "Dragon Hand Gun" back to their original positions on his waist, and then put the "Seven Phoenix Feathers" and "Bliss Needles" in a place where they could be fired. In the end, only the broken sword was left.

At this moment, a figure like a ghost came quietly under the cover of the woods. It was Zhang Yuelu. She looked at Qi Xuansu, and the light in her eyes flashed and disappeared. Her body was like wood and stone. She had achieved some mysterious unity of man and nature, but Qi Xuansu did not notice it.

In such a short time, Zhang Yuelu was unable to force out the "Bliss Needle" in her body, and only recovered part of her cultivation. However, she was unwilling to let Wei Wugui escape. Without waiting for full recovery, she followed Qi Xuansu's footsteps.

At first, it was Zhang Yuelu chasing Qi Xuansu, but just now it became Qi Xuansu chasing Zhang Yuelu, and now it was Zhang Yuelu chasing Qi Xuansu again.

Qi Xuansu was about to leave this place, and suddenly felt that "Bu Yue" was a little restless, looking at a certain place, digging the ground with its front hooves, and snorting.

Qi Xuansu remained calm and gently stroked "Bu Yue"'s temples, as if to comfort him. After a moment, Qi Xuansu suddenly turned around and pounced on Zhang Yuelu's hiding place.

This caught Zhang Yuelu off guard, so she had to take the initiative to meet him. The two men fought head-on. Qi Xuansu was ready to attack. Zhang Yuelu's cultivation was damaged, and he was in a hurry to deal with it. He immediately rushed back and broke a big tree in the middle. His momentum slowed down a little, and he stopped retreating when he hit the second big tree.

Qi Xuansu had already attacked. Zhang Yuelu hugged the tree trunk, flew around the tree, and circled behind the tree. Wherever Qi Xuansu's fists went, the tree trunk was like being chopped by an axe or hammer, and wood chips flew everywhere. With a snap, it broke directly in the middle, and the leaves fell.

Zhang Yuelu waved his sleeves, and a strong wind suddenly rose. Thousands of leaves were like countless hidden weapons, shooting towards Qi Xuansu, as sharp as knives.

Qi Xuansu was blocked by the leaf formation, and his momentum slowed down. He used the mountain momentum of "Tan Tai Fist Intention" and pushed with both hands to block all the leaf blades.

But this was just a trick. Zhang Yuelu took the opportunity to come in front of Qi Xuansu and slapped him with one palm, pressing down with unparalleled energy in the air.

Qi Xuansu turned his palm to block, and the two palms intersected. Zhang Yuelu then activated the "Six Void Tribulations" and suddenly gained the upper hand, making Qi Xuansu's mountain momentum suddenly unstoppable. At the same time, Zhang Yuelu's six true qi rushed along his body, trying to make him unable to move.

Qi Xuansu snorted and sent out the "Bliss Needle" again.

However, Zhang Yuelu was prepared this time. The "Non-Photographic Paper" turned into a paper umbrella and blocked in front of him. The umbrella turned and blocked all the "Bliss Needles".

At the same time, Qi Xuansu's body folded and flew in the air. Zhang Yuelu's figure was erratic. The two exchanged a move. Qi Xuansu was hit in the chest by Zhang Yuelu's palm. Lightning entered his body and his breath was choked.

Zhang Yuelu landed lightly and panted slightly. Half of her cultivation was used to suppress the "Bliss Needle" in her body. If the true essence and true qi were consumed too much, the "Bliss Needle" would begin to attack, causing illusions in front of her eyes. At this time, she felt faintly dizzy.

She turned her eyes and saw that Qi Xuansu had taken out the "Dragon Hand Gun" and was pointing it at her.

Zhang Yuelu used an umbrella instead of a shield to block in front of her. She was not afraid. Even if it was "Dragon Eye One", her "Non-Photographic Paper" could block it.

Qi Xuansu originally had five "Dragon Eye Two" and ten "Dragon Eye Three" left. Because there was no way to replenish them, he used them very sparingly. He used one "Dragon Eye Two" to deal with Su Ran, one "Dragon Eye Three" to deal with the killer in the inn just now, and one "Dragon Eye Three" to destroy the body after killing Wan Xiuwu. Now there are four "Dragon Eye Two" and eight "Dragon Eye Three" left, which can be said to be very sufficient.

One person held an umbrella shield and the other held a musket. They faced each other, about three feet apart, locked their eyes on each other, and kept moving. Because no one dared to act rashly, they ended up going around in circles.

"Master Zhang, you can't do anything to me, and I can't do anything to you, so let's stop here, okay?"

"Wei Wugui, as long as you tell the truth, I can let you go."

"What do I have to tell? I've been law-abiding and obedient, but you, Master Zhang, attacked me without asking any questions. Who knows what you're planning? Besides, it's still unclear who will let whom go."

"In this case, let's see the real deal." "That's good, but I also want to remind Master Zhang that if we continue to fight, we will both lose. The group of 'inn' killers want my life, but Master Zhang It is also their goal. It is the fight between clams and cranes, and the fisherman will benefit. If they take advantage of it, wouldn't it be an eternal hatred?" Although Qi Xuansu pointed his gun at Zhang Yuelu, he did not want to fight Zhang Yuelu to the death, so he could only Follow the lead and be good at it.

Zhang Yuelu didn't expect Wei Wugui to be so troublesome, and now he was in a dilemma. And I have to admit that what Wei Wugui said is reasonable.

Zhang Yuelu pondered for a moment and asked, "Why did the 'Inn' want to kill you?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Of course it is related to the Jiangnan case."

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

The affair between Liu Futong and the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce was not discovered. It was his affair with Yue Lian that was caught, and subsequent searches revealed the inside story, and it was all related to Wei Wugui.

Could it be that Wei Wugui did this intentionally?

If the speculation is true, does it mean that there is some connection between Liu Futong's case and the Jiangnan case?

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but feel awe-struck when he thought of this.

Qi Xuansu continued: "After the Jiangnan major case, Beichen Hall dispatched two deputy hall masters and a large number of spiritual officers to arrest Fang Linhou, the former deputy master of Jiangnan Daofu. He escorted him back to Yujing. During the Jinque discussion, Master Donghua proposed to use Fang Linhou as a wedge to carve a gap in the black curtain to completely solve this problem. "

"But in the end, only Fang Linhou died."

"Because it is an iron curtain that cannot be cut. Even if the wedge is broken, there is no chance of seeing any cracks."

"At that time, Beichen Hall and Fengxian Hall jointly tried the case. Fang Linhou wanted to survive, so he asked his family to send an official ticket of 100,000 Taiping money to the deputy head of Beichen Hall who was responsible for the matter."

"Fang Linhou didn't expect to keep his position, or even his real name, he just wanted to save his life. The deputy hall master accepted the money and agreed, but during the trial, he kept his name intact. Immovable took out the 100,000 peace money and gave it to Feng Xiantang in the name of bribe, and gave Fang Linhou the final blow. The crime was increased to one level and he was executed immediately. "

"The reason why we gave up one hundred thousand Taiping money is because there are still hundreds of thousands or even millions of Taiping money left."

"Fang Linhou is just an abandoned son who was thrown out by others. He has some elements, but he is not a big figure. No matter how Feng Xiantang tries, he can't find out this matter. Because a man's weakness is often his family, Fang Linhou There are also family members who may not survive after telling him, but his wife and children will definitely die, so even if they kill him, he doesn’t dare to tell him.”

"Master Zhang, you said that Fang Linhou is dead, who should belong to his members?"

Zhang Yuelu's face became more solemn and he said in a deep voice: "Who are you? How do you know these Taoist secrets?"
