Jing Ke's inner strength was vigorous. Although he was moving backwards, he was able to stand still immediately, while that person retreated a few steps and was still unable to stand firm. It was clear that his swordsmanship was quite high and his inner strength was not as good as Jing Ke's.
Seeing that he could not succeed with one move, Jing Ke immediately took another move, but this time, the "Congealing Rope" move contained a deeper inner force, because from the move just now, he already knew that this Taoist Tie Guan's sword art was very impressive, but his inner force was relatively weak, so when the sword move met with the Taoist, he immediately used his other hand to slap the Taoist's shoulder. However, just as he was about to use this move, Iron Crown shouted loudly, "Junior Apprentice Brother, take this move!" With that, another figure flashed from the crowd, that person sneered, following that, he let out a "humph" sound and let out his Qi, a palm shot out like lightning and blocked that Taoist's shoulder, Jing Ke did not know who that person was, and met his palm head on. When the two palms met, a loud bang could be heard. The two strong waves of Qi collided with each other, causing a wave of heat to spread out, causing several of the surrounding guards to fall to the ground.
Within three years, his internal force had advanced by leaps and bounds, even the eighth son of the Mo family might not be able to match him. Even when he was fighting against the Dao Family's Zhou at the event, his Mo family's mental cultivation method was not inferior to Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly Sword Technique. However, he didn't expect to suddenly feel the true energy within his body churning and scurrying around. He hurriedly took the opportunity to evade the palm and leaped to the side with one foot. Although he didn't see anything out of the ordinary, he was secretly adjusting his aura.
The strange man who had appeared out of nowhere shouted, "Feel the inner force!" When Jing Ke looked at him, he saw that it was actually the person with the prominent forehead. Jing Ke had once heard his martial uncle Tian Guang speak when he was in the Yi Shui Manor, but as long as one's inner force cultivation was at an extremely high level, their forehead would become uneven due to the thickness of their inner force. Seeing how strange this person was, it was likely that they had already cultivated their inner force to the one stage.
While Jing Ke was inwardly astonished, another person suddenly flashed out from the crowd, baring half of his arms, his entire body covered in muscles, and shouted, "Which vulgar bird dares to behave atrociously in front of the Duke of Qin, hurry up and die!" As he was speaking, he waved his fists in the air, creating a strong gust of wind. He pushed open the window with one move and sent the moon straight towards Jing Ke's face. Jing Ke grasped his sword upside down, and joined his hands together to block this man's punch. With a "pa" sound, although his body didn't sway, his entire body slid three feet off the ground. Due to the continuous circulation of the Qi under his feet, he managed to leave two deep footprints on the brick wall. And his hand had just received that strange man's punch, his arms suddenly went numb, Jing Ke was secretly surprised in his heart: "What a huge force."
Among these three people, one of them had superb swordsmanship, one had powerful inner strength, and the other had astonishing arm strength. These three people not only had strange appearances, but they also had their own experts. When the three of them attacked together, it could be said that they were a combination of swordsmanship, outer force, and inner force. Only now did Jing Ke realize that Seth had already expected Jing Ke and the others to be powerful martial artists. If Ying Zheng were to be exposed, it would definitely attract a sneak attack from Jing Ke and the others, which was why he secretly sent experts to protect them. The three of them were originally Reese's personal bodyguards, and were all branch members of the Taoists. Their names were Wu Chen, Wu Wang, and Wu Xin, and they each practiced a Taoist absolute art, complementing each other and defeating the martial arts experts from the hundreds of clans. They were quite famous in the area of Jin Zhong, and were known as the "Three Jin Elders" by the people of Jiang Hu. Ever since the three of them went to Reese, they had never been heard of, nor were they greedy for fame and wealth. They only wanted to find a place to eat. Today, Reese was willing to give up his amulet to protect Ying Zheng, and even more so in order to catch Jing Ke and Sun Pai off guard.
At this time, Jing Ke was surrounded by the three old men. Not to mention capturing Ying Zheng, even if he wanted to escape, it would be extremely difficult. Jing Ke stood in the middle of the trio, unleashing a few moves of the Eight Movements of Ink Guard, but those three were like one, no matter which side Jing Ke attacked, the other two would immediately stand up and assist him, and the strangest thing was, no matter what moves Jing Ke used, they would all use their own strengths, making it impossible for Jing Ke to find any flaws in them. Originally, the three of them were all at the same place as the root of the Daoist sect. As for the cultivation of the Daoist sect's mental laws, they were primarily focused on calming the heart and calming the heart. It was because the three of them could communicate with each other through telepathy while battling. This method was a hundred times stronger than the one used by Shi, Zhang Dingshan, Xiao San and everyone else in the Heaven Origin Sacred Pool. Even though Jing Ke had mastered the Eight Arts, he was unable to do anything about it.
At this time, Gao Jianli, Tian Gan, and Thief had already ascended to the top of the city wall. Each of them performed what they had learned in their lifetime, sweeping away all the archers in the front row, making a mess. Turning back to look at Jing Ke's side, he discovered that the Alliance Master was already trapped. Gao Jianli immediately gave a clear whistle, and with a swift step, he rushed towards the periphery of the three Jin Elders. Gao Jianli had originally wanted to work with Jing Ke to break the formation of those three weirdos. Unexpectedly, not only did this' Yin Yang Tri-Talisman Formation 'firmly defend the inside like an iron bucket, but it also had an impenetrable defense against the outer edges. Gao Jianli had used all sorts of finger techniques to play the zither, and even after over thirty moves, he was still unable to expose any flaws in these three people.
At this time, Jing Ke was fighting against the three of them with all his might, thinking that this delay would be detrimental to the Allied invasion of Oak City, he suddenly came to a realization and shouted at Gao Jianli, "Big Brother Gao, quickly go and get that Wang Qi banner!"
When Gao Jianli heard Jing Ke's shout, he immediately understood Jing Ke's intentions. Immediately, he performed his movement technique, directly taking the Dragon Mark Royal-shaped flag with the word "Win" embroidered on it. These three people were originally defending the enemy they faced with with unassailable unity of mind. However, at this moment, they suddenly saw Gao Jianli rushing towards the flag, and they couldn't help but be startled. So the three of them were under the orders of Reese to protect Ying Zheng and Wang Qi's safety, and if Wang Qi lost today, wouldn't they be unable to bear the consequences?
And in that split-second of hesitation, Jing Ke had already grasped the opportunity. He used Ink Fish self-defense spell, leaving behind a fake silhouette. In the time that the "Yin Yang Tri-Talent Spell" took, his real body had already flashed out. The leader of the three elders, Daoist Master Wu Chen, had the sharpest eyes. Although Jing Ke's move could be faked, he was still able to see through it. He then shouted, "Not good!" He had already separated himself from the "Yin Yang Tri-Talent Formation", and was pointing the long sword at Jing Ke's spinal acupoint at the back of his head.
Jing Ke didn't expect the Daoist of the sword to be so sharp. He immediately turned around and used his sword to block the attack. Fortunately, Wu Chen didn't have the help of Wu Wang and Wu Xin, so the sword tip's power was greatly reduced. Thus, it was easily blocked by Jing Ke.
Wu Chen wanted to make another move to subdue Jing Ke, but when he caught a glimpse of Gao Jianli, he realized that he was already on the edge of the city wall, only a few steps away from Wang Qi, so he ignored Jing Ke, turned around, and said to Wu Wang and Wu Xin," Brothers, quickly follow me and protect Wang Qi! " When Thoughtless and Thoughtless heard their Senior Brother's shout, they immediately flew to the corner of the roof, determined to trap Gao Jianli in the corner of the roof.
By this time the walls of Oak Sun had been thrown into disarray, and the archers and halberds guarding them had been thrown into disarray. As for the six armies that had been obstructed by the strong enemies, they suddenly realized that the defense of the city walls had been greatly reduced. Immediately, their morale was boosted as they shouted and rushed to attack the enemy.
Seeing that the six armies had flocked over, Jing Ke and Gao Jianli also thought to themselves that they were about to snatch Wang Qi, "It's no big deal for Grandpa Sage Thief to accompany these bastards for half a day, why not take this opportunity to capture Old Man Ying Zheng and show him off to Master Sun and his disciples." Previously, when Jing Ke sent him and Zhu Hai to protect Sun Pa's safety, he was underestimated by Qing Yu and Qing Shu. Previously, when Jing Ke sent him and Zhu Hai to guard Sun Pa's safety, he was underestimated by Qing Yu and Qing Shu.
Ying Zheng originally had the protection of the three elders, so he was not worried at all. But now, after being tricked by Jing Ke into falling into a trap, only Meng Wu, Wang Jian and a few other generals were guarding him. Meng Wu and the others were even more shocked when they saw that he was about to attack the Duke of Qin. They hurriedly pulled out their swords and formed a sword formation in front of Ying Zheng. However, this Thief's Qing Gong could be said to be unparalleled in this world, how could these few martial arts brutes be able to block his sneak attack? With a sneer, he suddenly passed through the sword formation. His movement speed was so fast that it could be described as ghost-like.
Meng Wu and the others only blinked for a second, then they saw Thief Sheng had already grabbed Ying Zheng's chest, sneered and said, "You're such a wicked Emperor. Today, your grandpa, the Saint Thief, will capture you and bring you to the world to apologize to the people under the heavens!" After saying that, she had already grabbed his collar and lifted him up like she was picking up a chicken.
When the generals of the Qin Nation saw this scene, they were so frightened that their souls nearly left their bodies. Save... "Your Majesty!" Those who had cried out in shock were all talking incoherently, trying to save Ying Zheng as soon as possible. However, these people were only martial artists who had been assigned to lead the troops. How could they know any movement skills? They could only watch as Thief Ling grabbed Ying Zheng, kicked him off the ground, and leaped into the air, unable to do anything about it.
Suddenly, a "Zheng" sound came from the right side of the city. The sound was old and hoarse, like broken tiles. But at the same time, he felt as if his body had been hit by something. His legs felt like they were being hit by a thousand pounds and he couldn't use any strength. His body that had just jumped up in the air also fell down. Since they couldn't afford it, both Thief Sheng and Ying Zheng were badly injured. Luckily, Thief had just performed his lightness skill, and was less than three meters away from the ground, so their lives weren't in danger.
He had come and gone like the wind, and no one could stop him. But today, he had been shot in the dark for no reason, so he was naturally furious, and just as he wanted to shout out who was making such a despicable move, he heard a "zheng" sound, similar to the sound just now, but more powerful.
At this moment, Gao Jianli and Jing Ke, who were battling with the three Jin Elders at the corner of the eaves, felt their minds go into chaos after hearing these two sounds. Their inner breathing started to become unstable, as if they were losing control of it. When the three Jin Elders heard this, they looked at each other and smiled. Then, they gently pressed their palms to their ears and rushed to attack the two of them.
Jing Ke and Gao Jianli didn't react to the three of them acting this way, they only circulated their internal energy, and then began to attack the three of them. And at this moment, this clanging sound came crashing down like a torrential rain. Every time it entered a person's ears, it was like a needle piercing through an important acupoint all over their body, and waves of faint pain would erupt.
On the other side, Thief Sheng had just fallen down and was just about to adjust his Qi to use it again, but he didn't expect to be harassed by such a strange rhythm. His entire body suddenly felt sore, and he couldn't help but curse, "Who killed a thousand blades to cause such a sinister martial arts?" While Ji Hao was cursing, Ying Zheng had already been rescued by a few guards.
However, this strange sound did not stop due to the loud curses of Pi Sheng. Instead, it suddenly rose and fell, sometimes flat and sometimes small, sometimes urgent and sometimes slow. The clanging sound suddenly turned into a ringing sound, as if thousands of pearls had fallen into a jade plate. After the ruckus, the sky turned dark and dense dark clouds started to move towards them.
When Jing Ke and Gao Jianli were fighting with the Three Saints, they had used the king's flag to disperse the minds of the Three Saints, and had already gained the upper hand. However, after suddenly being disturbed by this strange sound, they suddenly felt as if something had sealed their internal energy, making it difficult for them to use it. Seeing this situation, Jing Ke was naturally puzzled, but Gao Jianli seemed to have noticed something, and immediately looked towards the direction of the voice.
He had originally been at the top of the city walls, so he was able to see everything clearly from afar. At this moment, he looked around and saw a man in a simple robe, dressed in green, playing a zither in a corner of the city wall, intoxicated by the music. He had his suspicions from the start, but after seeing this scene, he was even more sure of his previous judgement. He could not help but think, "So it's like that." Following which he said to Jing Ke, "Brother Jing, someone is using a rhythm to hide internal energy to disrupt our movements, we need to be careful!" Earlier, when he heard the sound of the two strings, he already knew that it was the sound of the zither strings. After that, he discovered that his inner breathing had started to become disordered, and he had already suspected that it was related to the music. When he looked around and saw the person who played the zither, he was suddenly enlightened and immediately warned Jing to be careful.
