Lin Qing's expression was ice-cold, and the treasured sword in his hand tightened even more. Looking at the astonishing killing intent contained in Long Xiaotian's eyes, Lin Qing's expression was indifferent.

Just as the two of them were at loggerheads, a loud roar came from outside. A tall man dressed in black with strong muscles barged in. His movements were graceful and natural. Without a doubt, it was Qu Ming.

After entering the courtyard, Qu Ming saw the scene in front of him. He couldn't help but be shocked as he watched the scene in front of him with a cold feeling in his heart.

Qu Ming's arrival had shattered the opportunity for Lin Qing and Long Xiaotian to make their moves.

Long Xiao Tian's face darkened as he looked at Qu Ming. He knew that Qu Ming was the number one powerhouse of the Green Bamboo Faction in Red Leaf Town. He was no weaker than himself, so Long Xiao Tian couldn't help but think highly of him.

At this moment, Qu Ming's expression was somewhat ugly. Seeing the scenery in the courtyard, how could he not know that he had fallen into an ambush?

At this point, Qu Ming had the intention to retreat, especially after seeing Lin Qing's current injuries, his heart felt heavy.

Qu Ming had exchanged blows with Lin Qing before, so he naturally knew Lin Qing's strength. Although she was weaker than him, she was still a skilled expert. Yet, at this moment, she was in such a miserable state. How could Qu Ming not be alarmed?

"Hehe …" "I was wondering who was the intruder. So it's fellow Daoist Qu. How disrespectful." Long Xiaotian laughed coldly, shifting his gaze from Lin Qing to Qu Ming.

Even though Qu Ming had the intention to retreat, he would not lose his prestige. Furthermore, he would not abandon his sword and flee without a fight.

"I don't dare to say so, but as the lord of a town, Lord Long does not deal with matters and instead shows up here. This really surprises me." Qu Ming laughed and said.

"There really are some people that don't let me worry. There's nothing I can do." Long Xiaotian looked at Qu Ming, the meaning in his eyes clear.

Qu Ming sneered and didn't say anything else. He tightly gripped the sword in his hand and prepared to attack at any moment.

At this moment, Long Xiao Tian naturally pointed the Son of Heaven's sword at Qu Ming.

Compared to Lin Qing, Qu Ming was evidently more of a threat. Moreover, the current Lin Qing was already seriously injured. After taking care of Qu Ming, they would naturally find an opportunity to deal with Lin Qing.

With this thought in mind, Long Xiaotian's attention was completely focused on Qu Ming.

After all, the current Lin Qing was already a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He did not pose much of a threat. Being arrested and killed seemed to have already become a foregone conclusion.

In that case, there was only one enemy left at the moment, Qu Ming.

"Since Fellow Qu has arrived so late at night, I'm afraid that if I don't keep you here, I will feel very sorry for you." The meaning of Long Xiaotian's words was self-evident as he spoke with a dark expression.

Qu Ming laughed coldly and said, "Cut the crap. Let's see the real deal."

[One man, one sword, how can I waste my time talking to you? I don't like it, so I will just kill you.]

Qu Ming had not reached such an insane level yet, but he didn't want to waste any more time talking to Long Xiaotian. As time passed, the 20 plus soldiers holding the God Arm Crossbow were about to load it with arrows.

Qu Ming was wary of the crossbow and didn't want to delay it.

Long Xiaotian's face turned cold as he snorted, "Ignorant fool, you actually want to die. I'll grant you your wish!"

After speaking, Long Xiaotian gave a long roar and leaped up. His speed was so fast that he didn't wait for the crossbow to be loaded properly. He took the lead and attacked Qu Ming with his sword.

As a disciple of the current Imperial Advisor, Long Xiaotian was naturally proud. He had heard rumors about Qu Ming and Long Xiaotian, and knew that Qu Ming had killed a third level martial artist before reaching the level of a talented warrior.

Although Qu Ming had used some underhanded methods, it was enough to prove his strength. Moreover, Qu Ming had already reached the level of a talented warrior, so his strength had naturally increased by quite a bit.

With all of this happening, Long Xiaotian was naturally curious. In addition, he was a disciple of the current Imperial Advisor. If he were to meet such a strange person, he would naturally step forward to test his strength.

In the face of Long Xiaotian's single person approaching with a sword in hand, Qu Ming naturally sneered and shouted. The sword in his hand also slashed with a strange aura, as if he would not retreat at all.

With a clang sound, the two swords collided in midair, emitting the sound of colliding metals. The resounding sound caused one's eardrums to hurt.

After a single sword strike, Long Xiaotian and Qu Ming both retreated a few steps, their hearts filled with shock.

Long Xiaotian sighed, "The rumors are true. Qu Ming is indeed an extraordinary person who could kill those above his level before he reached the level of a talented warrior."

Compared to Long Xiaotian's sigh, Qu Ming's heart was in shock. He could not help but think of Long Xiaotian's identity. Indeed, there was no one below his fame, and the disciples of the current Imperial Advisors were truly extraordinary.

After a simple exchange, the two of them could see some of each other's legs. Long Xiao Tian was the disciple of the current Imperial Advisor, so his cultivation technique was naturally majestic and majestic.

Qu Ming was not a mediocre cultivator. He cultivated the Devil Dao, and even more so the Great Art of the Hundred Ghost Massacre. His methods were strange, and his moves were even more unexpected.

It was impossible to tell which was stronger and which was weaker. All they could say was that each of them had their own merits.

Unlike the situation where Lin Qing and Long Xiao Tian were one-sided, Long Xiao Tian and Qu Ming's battle had both come and gone. Furthermore, on the way, they had even managed to pull off a brilliant move that caused Lin Qing, who was standing by the side, to feel a chill in her heart.

It turned out that Lin Qing also considered herself to be powerful. Although she was not as powerful as Qu Ming, she was not as powerful as Qu Ming. It was only after seeing the two of them fight each other, that she truly understood her own shortsightedness and knew that she had not used all of her strength in the previous exchange.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Qing clenched her fist tightly. Lin Qing was also a proud and arrogant person. Faced with such a scene, the emotions in her heart couldn't help but turn sour.

"Are frogs at the bottom of the well really just like this?" "Just taking it for granted, it really makes me feel helpless …" Lin Qing muttered in a low voice. There was an indescribable sense of disappointment in her tone.

At this moment, Lin Qing was truly able to see through her own strength.

Previously, when Lin Qing thought that she had entered the ranks of the talented warriors, she had been brimming with pride. Now, however, she discovered that even with such a vast world, there were still many geniuses and heroes, so what reason could she possibly have to be weaker than herself?

For example, Qu Ming, Long Xiaotian, their talent and talent were probably not inferior to his. With just a single stroke of luck in hand, they had soared to the skies with great strength, but now, he was no match for them.
