Forty-Three: Counterattack! The Apex of Martial Arts! (Part 1)

  Suddenly heard a loud shout, with a few points of excitement in his voice.

  "God - Xiao - Seven - Absolute Sword?" Ryder finally remembered a name that could perfectly connect the context.

  "Really, really, how did Grandfather know?" Lai Gongzi was also extremely surprised. As soon as Grandfather mentioned it, he remembered too - no mistake, that's the name!

  "Could it be this sword technique? Haha! " The fill-in-the-blank question got a perfect score, making Ryder extremely proud. "In your grandfather's time, the Shen Xiao Sect was a top-notch sect that shook the heavens, with a master in the Transformation Realm and one of the Seven Great Thunderbolts... it was very formidable! However, how did the Shen Xiao Sect's ultimate technique end up being stolen by the Rui family?"

  Xu Deng was furious: "I sell goods to the world, how can I be like you, a sneaky and thieving scoundrel?"

  Lai Gongzi rolled his eyes, how would he know these things? However, why did Grandpa go off topic again? Hurry up and grab that leather bag!

  With a flicker of her eyes, she suddenly said: "Yun Er, if you don't wake up now, I'll tell Grandpa, and you'll never wake up again."

  Behind him, a voice suddenly said, "Gua Shao... Young Master Gua, I'm awake, I'm awake, and waiting for your orders!"

  Lai Gongzi was just weak and had a jade melon character, Lai Yugua, a very auspicious name.

  Master Gua pointed with his claw-like finger: "You go get that bag for me."

  Yun Er's face was bitter, slowly getting up from the warm wooden bed, walking towards Xu Deng.

  As the chief guest of the Lai family, his cultivation was not much different from that of the master, and he had a very high status in the Lai family. But... who could have imagined that the former master of the Lai family would actually be alive... and wake up.

  Look at the old man's majestic demeanor, it's really possible that he has reached a state of enlightenment!

  Xian Jing ah, there are Xian Jing masters all over the world, I don't know if there are even ten of them?

  With the presence of Huajing Zongshi in Lingling's Lai family, perhaps there is a real chance to make it big?

  After walking a few steps, Yun Er's mind had already turned over several ideas, and finally, her neck lifted up, and her pace quickened by two inches.

  Yeah, gotta give the old master of the house a good impression!

  After his mind was made up, Yun Er's entire demeanor underwent a drastic change.

  "Mr. Xú, this wager...please return it to our young master!"

  Kui Qi coughed lightly. Xu Deng endured for a moment, then casually tossed the leather bag to Yun Er.

  Next to him, Kuai Qi stared at Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong slightly furrowed his brow and hesitated for a moment.

  "And also the golden bangle on his hand, that old thing's jade pendant." Lai Yugua simultaneously pointed with both hands, one at Xu Deng and one at Kuai Qi.

  Yun Er was taken aback for a moment, then stretched out his empty right hand.

  Xu Denglai quickly took off the golden cuff from his wrist. He had also figured everything out, when things were beyond control, then just go with the flow.

  Kui Qi hummed and hesitated for a moment.

  Huang Zhong's face changed, and he said: "This jade pendant is what Mr. Kuai has prepared for the loser."

  Lai Yugua burst out laughing and said with a shake of his head: "A defeated general, why is there still a prize? Yun Er, take this jade pendant back for me immediately."

  Everyone understands that the cause of this matter is due to the conflict and discord between Lai Yugua and Liu Pan. Now that Lai Yugua has the backing of Huajing Grandfather, how can he not regain his face?

  So, I just slapped him in the face!

  Liu Bei's chest heaved up and down, wordlessly cursing as he thought of drawing his Flower Horse Sword. He was restrained by Huang Zhong grasping his shoulder.

  Huang Zhong looked at Kuai Qi again and glanced at Zhao Sheng and Zhang Jin.

  Kui Qi's heart is clear about his intention, this must be done to bring everyone down together. He nodded slightly, and he also meant the same thing. If not, they would be like the snipe and the clam fighting each other, and a third party would reap the benefits, leaving them with no place to cry.

  Adjusting her mood, she smiled faintly and took off the jade pendant from her waist, handing it over to Yun Er.

  Cloud Two Sand Field wins in general, proudly returns. Seeing Lai Yu Guo, he hastily nods and bows, presenting various treasures with both hands.

  Lai Yugua grabbed the skin bag with one hand and pulled out the golden hoop and jade pendant, his heart filled with wild joy, and he burst into loud laughter.

  "It's all mine! It was supposed to be all mine from the beginning!"

  Kui Qi and Xu Deng exchanged a subtle glance, continuing their silent communication.

  Xu Deng: Shi Huang is willing to take action, but he needs the assistance of other powerful individuals from the dark realm.

  Kui Qi: Huang Zhong is willing to take action, but he needs Zhao Song and Zhang Jin to make a statement.

  Both nodded in their hearts, and the key lies with Zhao Song and Zhang Jin.

  At this moment, someone suddenly whispered: "What can Weizhentian do? In the end... Shenshuang Sect was still destroyed by a single sword!"

  Xu Deng and Kuai Qi's faces suddenly changed, and they looked at the person who spoke.

  That person was none other than Zhang Jin.

  Qin Yu's forehead suddenly had a few green veins jumping up, pounding vigorously.

  At this time, Zhang Jin suddenly said such a thing, obviously trying to curry favor with Lai De and see if there was an opportunity to deepen their friendship.

  Don't have good intentions!

  Tan Yun finally understood the meaning of Shi Huan's last sentence.

  "Shi Lao has been in officialdom for a long time, his eyes are too poisonous. It seems that he had discovered that Zhang Jin was a small person long ago!"

  What's wrong?

  Here, several major dark realm strongmen were communicating and preparing to join hands against Ryder. It was already a struggle, but with another sudden betrayal, the alliance would surely collapse, and no one would be able to resist Ryder's tyranny.

  The most unfortunate thing is that I was targeted by Lai Gongzi's two fools. Others may have a chance to escape, but I will definitely not be able to get out of his sight.

  Xie Zilan is not very useful, Zhang Jin is her master's brother, half a master. With his cunning temperament, it would be good if he didn't order her to take action. Holding Xie Zilan hostage and coercing Zhang Jin has little significance.

  But once everyone is intimidated or even tempted by Zhang Jin's reversal of fortune, our side will undoubtedly lose.

  Tan Yong suddenly remembered a previous transaction.

  "It's all in, can only fight for one vote! Come on!"

  "Who is so powerful that they can single-handedly destroy the Shen Xiao Sect?" Zhang Jin's words successfully caught Lai De's attention, and he was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. "Impossible! The Shen Xiao Sect has a Jie Dan stage master holding down the fort, and even if the seven great Thunder Protectors join forces, they can still contend with one Jie Dan stage cultivator. I've also... personally experienced it myself. One person alone with a sword, even if they're a Jie Dan stage master, how could they possibly destroy such a large sect?"

  "What about the master of Huajing?" Zhang Jin sighed and said lightly, "The times create heroes! That person cultivates the sword path and is good at challenging stronger masters across levels!"

  "Zhang Ergou, have you been blown by the mountain wind on top of Laojun's head and suddenly become so talkative?" Zhao Song's eyebrows were cold, his eyes were cold, and his face was cold. He suddenly spoke sarcastically, "Or has betrayal already become a habit, and you've long forgotten what your surname is?"

  "What do you mean?" Zhang Jin's old face turned red, and he secretly wondered at this self-proclaimed gentleman, how his words suddenly became so sharp. Before, he was very calm and able to endure.

  "Zhang Ergou, I've exposed your true face, can't bear it?" Zhao Song's words left no room for sentiment. "What are you thinking, my younger brother is the clearest, isn't it just to sell out these friends on the mountain top and go seek Master Lai's turtle-breathing technique that has been dormant for twenty years? Anyway, you'll be returning to Xudu in the end, aren't you afraid of other forces seeking revenge?"

  As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Jin.

  Oh, I've fallen so far behind on the list!
