Volume 1 Meteor Festival Chapter 21 Unstoppable

  "Your Ladyship!"

  Under the inky night sky, a frantic cry rang out in this large estate that could be counted as one of the best in the entire capital.

  As the shout came, the door of the study in the courtyard was quickly opened, and Ye Xueqing, the young master of Qingping County, who had been waiting for news, and the Second Prince Ning Tianqi, who had accompanied him, walked out of the room at the same time.

  "Lei Ying!? So soon you're back? Could it be that you've already captured those adulterous pair? Good, where are they? Have someone bring them up immediately. Tonight, I'll make this adulterous pair understand the consequences of going against me, Ye Xueqing!"

  Lei Ying, it's that Blood Eagle leader who is in charge of this operation!

  At this moment, the usual indifference on his face had disappeared, replaced by a kind of urgency, as if there was some terrible enemy behind them that was chasing after them!

  "Princess... we must leave here as soon as possible!"

  "Leave here?" Qingyun County Master Ye Xueqing was slightly stunned, her eyes scanning behind Lei Ying for an instant, and her face immediately darkened: "Where is the person? I want you to catch the person."

  "Uh... Young Mistress, I am incompetent... unable to complete your task..."

  "Trash, you're still the elite team under my father's command, yet you can't even accomplish such a small task. Every year, Father spends so much on spiritual medicine and wastes so much money on you, what for? Isn't it to make you useful one day? Now I'm giving you an assignment, and this is the answer I get from you..."

  "County Master, our intelligence was wrong. That Gu Qing is not an ordinary Qi Dao Jiu Chong high hand... His strength is simply unfathomable..."

  "Unfathomable?" Ye Xue's voice was cold and detached: "What kind of unfathomable method, could it be that he is still a master of the Dan Dao?"

  Being asked by Qingping Junzhu like this, Lei Ying was obviously stunned for a moment.

  Throughout the entire battle, Gu Qing's attacks were infrequent, but each one was fatal, taking a life every time. However, now that he thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized that Gu Qing didn't seem to have any overwhelming aura emanating from him... Not even the true energy attack that only a Sixth-Order cultivator could wield had been unleashed!

  "Snow Qing, the Blood Eagle Guard was personally trained by Patriarch himself, their strength and loyalty have been proven in countless missions over the past three hundred years. Since this Lord Lei Ying said that Gu Qing has achieved something extraordinary, perhaps he really does have some exceptional qualities, otherwise, Sword Saint Nian Wusheng wouldn't praise him so highly."

  "You dare to oppose me? Ha! A mere Nameless Sword Mountain, I will eventually make someone collect his corpse."

  Ning Tianqi slightly furrowed his brow and patiently said, "Let's talk about the matter of Mingjian Mountain later. Xue Qing, in my opinion, you should still leave the imperial capital as this Lord Leiying has suggested."

  "Leave?" Ye Xueqing looked at Ning Tianqi with an incredulous expression, saying: "Let me leave!? Because of this matter, I was driven out of the capital like a stray dog by those adulterous couple, Xu Bing and his wife!?! Since birth to now, when have I, Ye Xueqing, ever been insulted like this?!"

  "This time we were not fully prepared, and there was also some mistake in judging the strength of Gu Qing. Now retreating is only temporary, once we gather enough masters, we can immediately make them surrender, and then think about how to deal with them, isn't it up to you..."

  "Boom!"

  Just as Ning Tianqi was about to persuade a few words and let Ye Xueqing leave first, the front gate of the courtyard suddenly burst open like it had been hit by an enormous force. A nearby unfortunate guard was instantly blown away by the force of the opening door!

  Upon witnessing this sudden event, several guards nearby immediately shouted: "Who is it that dares to trespass on the estate of the young master of Qingping, are you tired of living?..."

  "The Qingping County Governor's Mansion......it is so..."

  Among the guards' loud drinking, Gu Qing's figure had already calmly and unhurriedly walked in from the main gate under the cover of night, the Qingfeng sword pulled out from the body of the Hou Mansion guard faintly reflecting a thread of icy cold light.

  "How dare you enter the county master's mansion with a sword, looking for death!" The four guards who were close by shouted in anger, instantly drawing their own swords and rushing towards Gu Qing. From their quick reaction speed and the explosive speed of their physical bodies, it was clear that these four people were all masters of the fourth or fifth level of Qi.

  But Gu Qing's strength was enough to easily kill even the Blood Eagle Squad, the most elite team in the Western Capital. What chance did these four ordinary guards stand?

  Four people from four directions, the sword light speed is fast, but before touching Gu Qing, it has been swung out by him with one sword. All of them were shaken to one side. Before the four could make any other moves, his hand-held Qingfeng sword swiftly slashed, horizontally swept and struck, its sharp edge flashing, each of the four people's weak throat was cut with a fatal wound!

  "Pffft! Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!"

  Deep red blood suddenly splashed in the courtyard, and a cluster of blood flowers floated up.

  The shouts and screams of the guards suddenly awakened Lei Ying, who was reporting messages in the study at the back house. As he listened to the sound of every sword breaking through the air, this master with a cultivation base of nine realms seemed to be having some kind of nightmare, with large amounts of sweat constantly sliding down his forehead!

  "County Lord... He's here, we don't have time anymore, must leave the Imperial Capital immediately... No, it's too late to escape from the Imperial Capital, Second Prince, you will definitely take County Lord to the Imperial Palace right away. Only by relying on the Imperial Guard and the high-ranking officials can we stop his footsteps!"

  "He!?! Gu Qing!?! He actually dares to come to my Princess's Manor!?!"

  Ning Tianqi was also a master of the Eight Trigrams, and under the infusion of true energy, his hearing had reached an extremely high level. Even if he hadn't seen what happened in the front yard with his own eyes, he could still hear the intruder who broke into the county lord's mansion, who at this moment was effortlessly killing his way out of the encirclement of hundreds of guards at an extremely fast speed. If he hesitated any longer, he feared that within a few breaths, the other party would be able to reach this courtyard.

  Nian Yizhi, Ning Tianqi immediately said: "Xue Qing, we must leave here immediately! Gu Qing is a master of the Nine Heavens, and I'm afraid no one in this room can withstand him!"

  "Daybreak..."

  If it were Sword Saint Nian Wusheng, she would have confidence, with the entire Mingjian Mountain behind her, he would definitely not dare to kill himself, otherwise, what awaits him will be the destruction of the entire Mingjian Mountain.

  But this ancient Qing...

  The young master of Qingying recalled the scene at the banquet a few days ago, where Gu Qing broke her sword without hesitation and almost shot her to death, and finally felt a hint of fear in her heart.

  "Then let's go first..."

  Seeing the Qingping County Master finally willing to leave, Lei Ying couldn't help but let out a slight sigh of relief. He immediately turned to Ning Tianqi and said: "Second Prince, I'll entrust the county master to you. I'll lead the Blood Eagle remnants to support the palace right away!" As soon as he finished speaking, he had already circulated his true energy and rushed towards the front yard.

  "Blood Eagle remnants......" Upon hearing these few words, Ning Tian's heart felt a wave of emotion!

  Blood Eagle Guard!

  This is absolutely a terrible existence that makes all forces in the entire Daqi Dynasty, including the royal family, change color when they hear about it. Once they move, the place they pass through is simply devoid of chickens and dogs!

  But now...

  Unexpectedly got beaten up by one person!

  Although he felt a sense of emotion in his heart, Ning Tianqi's movements did not dare to hesitate for a moment. He immediately grabbed Ye Xueqing and took him straight to the back of the courtyard, where there was a rear door that led directly to Huang'en Street. Walking down that street would allow them to enter the imperial palace through the Hongwu Gate.

  Ning Tianqi took Qingying Junzhu and left, while Lei Ying led the remaining two Blood Eagle Guards to charge out of the backyard!

  However, Rayeuk's luck was apparently not good.

  The moment he rushed out of the backyard, before this master of the ninth rank could see the situation in front of him clearly, a sword light flashing with cold light had already killed him instantly. In his haste, Lei Ying suddenly took a deep breath and condensed all the true energy that was surging throughout his body, and the figure that rushed out quickly dodged to one side in an instant, almost brushing past the edge of this sword.

  Just then, in the flash of lightning, he didn't have time to react. He dodged sideways and avoided Gu Qing's sword, but his forward momentum was not exhausted, and it was almost as if he had crashed into Gu Qing's body.

  Before he could react, an ordinary left hand had already grasped his neck at an unbelievable speed, and then, between the five fingers of that hand, a powerful force beyond resistance was transmitted, instantly crushing all the bones in his neck!

  "You..."

  This proud cultivator of the Nine Heavens, no matter where he was placed, belonged to the kind of high-handed expert standing at the pinnacle of the strong. However, now, because he rushed too hastily, he was caught off guard by Gu Qing and was actually pinched to death by his five fingers in an instant.

  After killing the master of the nine-layered airway with one hand, Gu Qing turned his head and swept a glance at the many guards who were surrounding him from behind. He slightly furrowed his brow, took a few steps forward, suddenly accelerated, and with one sword, cut down a guard who was intercepting him in front. With a sudden burst of speed, he leaped up from among the crowd, borrowed momentum from a high wall, and lightly jumped onto the second floor of a pavilion!

  With a keen eye, Gu Qing scanned and immediately detected that the young master of Qingping County and the second prince, Ning Tianqi, had already rushed out of the courtyard!

  The remaining two Blood Eagles immediately knew what he wanted to do from Gu Qing's gaze, although they were not as strong as him, but the two of them still flew up in the first time and rushed towards Gu Qing on the second floor. The unique short weapon made for the Blood Eagle Guards in his hand was directly cut out, and the mournful knife light instantly enveloped him.

  Gu Qing's eyebrows furrowed, her gaze swept across the trajectory of the two men's knives, and her precise judgment immediately saw through all their weaknesses!

  As he suddenly struck out, with a single sword stroke, he knocked the short spear out of the hand of the Blood Eagle who had arrived first, and the remaining momentum of the sword pierced through his heart!

  After beheading the man, his body didn't pause for a moment. He sprang up and dodged the horizontal slash of the next person's knife. With one foot heavily stomping on the back of the other's head, the explosive force instantly trampled this master who had reached the eighth level of Qi and possessed the power of shape-shifting!

  "Ah!"

  With the force borrowed from the back of the Blood Eagle, Gu Qing leaped down from the second floor like a big bird in flight, instantly bringing a sound of breaking through the air as he flew across the empty space, his sword blade stained with fresh blood, stabbing straight at the Qingping County Master who was now protected by only Ning Tianqi!
