Taiping Inn

Each sect has its ups and downs. It is almost certain that every sect has its ancestors who were once rich. Except for a few sects such as Zhengyi Sect, they have also experienced decline. Take Jingchan Sect for example. A hundred years ago, it was on par with Zhengyi Sect. One Buddha and one Taoism were known as the Taishan Beidou in the world of martial arts. But now Jingchan Sect has withered and can only look at other people's faces under the eaves of other people's houses. There is also Zaoge Sect. In its heyday, it built a ghost country cave and attracted thousands of ghosts to pay homage. The leader of Zaoge Sect was known as the Son of the Netherworld, and the eight Zaoge Sect leaders under his command were honored as the Yin-Yang Dharma King. They used the power of one sect to compete with the entire world of martial arts, but now they have ended up with a sect destroyed and scattered. There are prosperity and decline, and there are also bad times and good times. The once prosperous Qingwei Sect was defeated by the Taiping Sect in Wuyou Valley many years ago and had to leave Taiping Mountain, like a dog that has lost its home.

The same is true for the Wangqing Sect. Although the Wangqing Sect today cannot be compared with the Butian Sect, Qingwei Sect, Zhengyi Sect, Wudao Sect and other sects, it was also prosperous in the past. It once stood on equal footing with the Xuannv Sect and the Pinnv Sect and shared the world. At that time, the Xuannv Sect was the leader of the righteous way, the Pinnv Sect was the leader of the evil way, and the Wangqing Sect was both righteous and evil, somewhere in between. That era was also an era when women dominated the world. At that time, people in the world had a joke that who was not a servant under the skirt of a woman? The titles of fairy and goddess also emerged from that time and gradually spread to later generations.

Because of this, the Wangqing Sect still had a very considerable family background after its decline. This was one of the reasons why Song Zheng and Qin Qing competed for the Wangqing Sect, and it was also the reason why Han Yaoyue insisted on opposing Qin Qing. Among the many assets of Wangqing Sect, there is a semi-immortal item named "Mirror Flower Water Moon". Like the "Tianshi Male and Female Sword" of Zhengyi Sect, this semi-immortal item can also be divided into two halves, one half is named "Mirror Flower" and the other half is named "Water Moon". If two people hold "Mirror Flower" and "Water Moon" respectively, they can use this semi-immortal item to build a "Yin Yang Gate" that will not be disturbed by external forces. In other words, "Mirror Flower" and "Water Moon" are solidified into physical objects, and the maximum distance between the two depends on the level of cultivation of the holder.

For this reason, although "Mirror Flower Water Moon" is mysterious, it has great limitations, that is, Li Xuandu and Qin Qing. If it were someone else with a weaker cultivation, it would be impossible to cross several states. Even Li Xuandu still needs a period of accumulation of strength before he can open "Mirror Flower".

After Qin Qing appeared, the knife was extremely subtle. It fell into the crowd without hurting anyone. The knife energy almost fell close to people. On the contrary, Song Zheng was completely locked by the energy of the knife. Even if he had the feeling of "the world is at my disposal", he felt that he had no way to escape. This is the ultimate of anticipating the enemy's moves.

Facing this knife, Song Zheng did not dare to be careless. Just now, he could use his famous skills to deal with Li Xuandu, but against Qin Qing, it would be a bit humiliating to use what he learned in the past. Now Song Zheng can only rely on the magical power of ghosts and immortals.

Song Zheng waved his sleeves and transformed a woman's illusion in front of him. She looked a bit like Qin Su, but she was older and more kind.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuandu immediately guessed the identity of this woman. She should be Qin Qing's first wife, Qin Su's biological mother, and Li Xuandu's legitimate mother-in-law. He couldn't help but secretly say that Song Zheng was despicable.

As expected, Qin Qing hesitated for a moment with his knife. Song Zheng was also an expert in using knives. He immediately seized this gap and got rid of Qin Qing's lock. The knife landed without cutting a gully, but only left a thin gap. It can be seen that Qin Qing's control of his own strength has reached a meticulous level, without any leakage or waste.

The people in Wudao Sect naturally recognized this "Heavenly Knife". Without any instructions, they scattered and retreated, leaving the battlefield to the two knives in the world.

Qin Qing landed not far from Song Zheng. There was not much joy or anger on his face. He just said: "Song Zheng, you are still the same as before, and you can do anything."

Song Zheng waved his robe sleeves and transformed into two female images. One was recognized by Li Xuandu, Bai Xiushang, and the other was not recognized by Li Xuandu, but her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Han Yaoyue. She should be Han Wugou, a good friend of Li Feiyan, Shi Wuyue and others.

These two people are extremely important to Qin Qing. One is the beloved lover who has not been sought for many years, and the other is a close friend who can entrust his wife and son to him. Song Zheng transformed the images of these two people with a very sinister intention. In fact, Song Zheng can also transform into the image of Qin Su, but he intends to save the most critical means for the last.

Qin Qing coughed lightly, and the whites of his eyes expanded rapidly. In a blink of an eye, his eyes were already snow-white, which formed a sharp contrast with Song Zheng's dark eyes.

Song Zheng sighed lightly, "'Taishang Wangqing Jing' is the best to restrain my illusion."

Before the voice fell, Qin Qing had already drawn his sword. This time, he drew his sword without any hesitation, and cut off the illusions of Bai Xiushang and Han Wugou with one sword.

Then, the long sword continued to move, sweeping towards Song Zheng, and Song Zheng was also cut off with one sword, but it was no different from the illusions of Bai Xiushang and Han Wugou, both were not real people, and slowly dissipated.

Song Zheng himself appeared in the sky above Yong'an Palace, gently waved his sleeves, and rolled up countless gusts of wind.

This wind was not an ordinary wind, but a heavenly wind, which penetrated everything, like a knife or a sword. When it landed in Yong'an Palace, there was only the sound of continuous explosions. With Qin Qing standing at the center, the ground was shattered, trees were broken, and palaces were uprooted by Song Zheng's gusts and smashed towards Qin Qing.

Qin Qing simply held his sword in front of him. No matter the palace or the strong wind, they were immediately crushed by the invisible sword energy and annihilated into nothingness after they approached Qin Qing's three-zhang range.

At the same time, Qin Qing slashed at Song Zheng through the air.

In an instant, Song Zheng's sight was nothing else. He could only see a line of cold light between the heaven and the earth, connecting the sky and the earth, dividing the world into two halves.

This line of cold light was Qin Qing's sword. The whole world was filled with invisible and intangible sword energy, like a vast sky net, which was sparse and not leaking, and pressed towards Song Zheng from all directions.

However, Song Zheng was worthy of being a ghost immortal in the realm of immortality. He instantly broke free from the oppression brought to him by this pure sword intent. Then he stretched out his right hand, and his five fingers naturally stretched upwards, pushing out towards the line of sword blade. It seemed to be understated, but it was powerful enough to cut off the river and split the mountain.

This magical power is not a method of the Wudao Sect, nor is it a method of Shamanism, but comes from the "Great Joy Zen" of the Shingon Sect. In terms of qualifications, Song Zheng is not inferior to Li Xuandu, otherwise he would not be able to make a comeback after experiencing ups and downs. Back then, he was still not satisfied after obtaining the "Eternal Life Su Nu Sutra", and he used various means to find the "Great Joy Zen". The two have the same goal. Song Zheng practiced Buddhism and Taoism together, and practiced the Shingon Sect's unique "Fearless Seal", which is listed alongside the "Zunsheng Treasure Bottle Seal" of the Vajra Sect, and is even better than the "Great Treasure Bottle Seal" learned by Li Xuandu.

In an instant, countless palaces in the entire Yong'an Palace collapsed, and a huge palm print with a depth of more than a foot and a length of twenty feet appeared on the ground.

Qin Qing stood in the palm of this palm print.

Song Zheng slowly retracted his palm, but saw a line of blood on the palm, like a thin red line.

In the previous fight, Song Zheng forced Qin Qing back to the original place with a palm, but he did not gain an advantage, and Qin Qing broke his "Fearless Seal" with a sword. In general, Song Zheng suffered a small loss.

In any case, after Song Zheng was defeated by Li Daoxu, his years of hard work went to waste. Now he can make a comeback, and there are many tricks. Qin Qing was slightly inferior to Song Zheng in his early years, but he has been steadily climbing up over the years, step by step, and stepping into the realm of immortality is a natural outcome. It is clear at a glance which one is better.

Qin Qing's knees were slightly bent, and the ground under his feet shook violently, cracking into countless cracks like spider webs. He took advantage of the force and jumped up, and the man and the sword swept towards Song Zheng in the air like a long rainbow.

Song Zheng took a deep breath, swallowed the vitality of heaven and earth, and rippled a circle of qi ripples invisible to the naked eye with him as the center of the circle. He used this to manifest his Dharma body, turned into a height of ten feet, and pressed down with a palm.

Countless roaring explosions immediately appeared in the space between the two, like bursts of muffled thunder, or like thousands of cavalry galloping, with the rumble of horses' hooves.

Cracks appeared on the palm of Song Zheng's Dharma body and the sword in Qin Qing's hand at the same time.

However, Qin Qing's sword was a point, and Song Zheng's palm was a surface, breaking the surface with a point. After the long sword in Qin Qing's hand was completely shattered, the palm of Song Zheng's Dharma body was also completely shattered into a big hole. Qin Qing passed through the big hole, jumped onto the back of Song Zheng's hand, and then swept forward along Song Zheng's arm.

Song Zheng encountered the eternal problem again. When a Taoist encounters a close-range warrior, he is always powerless. Even the national teacher, when encountering Tan Taiyun, has the same dilemma. However, if he can open up enough distance, Song Zheng will have the advantage.

In desperation, Song Zheng had to disperse his Dharma body, leaving Qin Qing's feet empty. Then he bit his tongue, not hesitating to consume half of his blood essence. The blood and energy in his body surged, and the whole person turned into a blood-colored long rainbow, swept hundreds of feet, and left the sky above Yong'an Palace.

After a short distance, Song Zheng stretched out his hand and pulled out a longbow half a person's height from the void. This bow was made of the horn of an unknown giant beast as the bow body and the tendons of a dragon as the bowstring. It came from the Golden Horde Royal Court and was the bow used by the Khan. After the death of the old Khan, it fell into Song Zheng's hands.

Song Zheng bent the bow and pulled the string. There was no feather arrow, but his own true essence as the arrow, attached with thoughts, aiming at Qin Qing who was hundreds of feet away.

Qin Qing had no expression on his face, and condensed the sword light into a three-foot long sword, rushing towards Song Zheng.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuandu immediately remembered the Qiexue army archer he had seen in the Golden Horde King's Court. He used his fist as an arrow. This was clearly a method of human immortals. How could Song Zheng, a ghost immortal, learn it?

But before Li Xuandu could think deeply, Song Zheng had already loosened the bowstring and shot an arrow like lightning.

Almost at the same time that Song Zheng loosened the bowstring, the invisible arrow had already pierced Qin Qing's body, but Qin Qing's forward momentum did not stop. He stabbed Song Zheng's abdomen with the knife in his hand, and then pushed Song Zheng forward all the way. Finally, the two left the scope of Baidi City and crashed into a mountain.

The huge mountain was shattered with a loud bang, smoke and dust filled the sky, and countless huge rocks rolled down and fell into the river, stirring up countless huge waves.
