After all, Qi An's martial arts cultivation was not as good as Zhao Hu's, and the advantages he had established before were all lost, and he soon fell into trouble. Zhao Hu knew that Qi An's hands and feet were tough and he was not afraid of swords, so he specifically slashed at the opponent's chest, abdomen, or head and neck, forcing Qi An to be in a hurry.

Zhao Hu knew quite well in his heart that although he controlled it properly, in order to deal with Qi An's attack before, he had consumed a lot of true qi, and if he urged it with all his strength like this, it would not take half an hour at most, and there would be a situation of true qi failure, and if he still couldn't kill Qi An, the situation would be reversed again, so Zhao Hu at this time was already desperate, and it was difficult to ride the tiger.

It's not that Zhao Hu didn't think about escaping, but Qi An was very careful to prevent this, and always controlled Zhao Hu inside the stone room, and many of Zhao Hu's subordinates were crowded outside the stone gate, but the exit was blocked, even if Zhao Hu wanted to escape, he couldn't escape, it was better to let go and kill the other party under the knife when his true qi was exhausted.

Qi An, who fell into an absolute disadvantage, desperately resisted, because he deliberately released water, he was not worried about what Zhao Hu could do to him, so he still maintained absolute calm, the moves in his hands were more rounded, and the footwork under his feet was more brisk, under Zhao Hu's stormy attack, it was like a tough little tree, the body of the tree was bent, the branches and leaves swayed, but it was not broken, and it struggled to survive in the wind and rain.

Under strong pressure, Qi An's comprehension of martial arts began to improve rapidly, and all kinds of mixed martial arts were used from his hands.

You must know that Qi An has only practiced the one of stepping on the moon and chasing the stars in his body technique, but in terms of fist and leg martial arts, he has not carried out special exercises for any kind of martial arts. Among all the four hundred and twenty-five kinds of martial arts cheats in the library of the Gushan Branch, there are seventeen kinds of hand-to-hand combat techniques without weapons, including not only common ones such as fists, palms, fingers, claws, legs, etc., but also rare ones such as elbows, knees, and heads, and Qi An has studied them all, and most of the moves recorded in the seventeen kinds of martial arts cheats have been practiced, so his attack methods are quite mixed, and the two moves that are often connected before and after come from different martial arts classics, and the change of moves is not natural and smooth enough, which greatly affects his combat power.

Obviously, Qi An also committed the taboo of being greedy and chewing too much, but for a martial arts idiot, this situation is no longer normal.

There are no more than two ways to solve the problem, one is to choose among the seventeen kinds of martial arts cheats, major in one, and the rest is only for reference; the other is to integrate all the martial arts that you are interested in, understand them thoroughly, and finally integrate them into one furnace to create a new martial arts by yourself, which will also be the most suitable martial arts for yourself.

The difficulty of the latter is undoubtedly far above the former, and there are very few who can succeed in the end, but Qi An is ready to take this road.

He had studied all the seventeen kinds of fist and foot melee martial arts in the library cabinet, none of which made him feel perfect, and all of them had shortcomings, so he had no choice but to comprehend these seventeen kinds of martial arts together, intending to take their essence and discard their dross, and create a martial art that could satisfy him.

This is also Qi An's helpless move, among all the martial arts of the backing branch, the weapons are more dominant, and the level is higher, and the fists and feet are usually unattended, and the level is generally low, because whether it is a person who practices martial arts or a qi refining cultivator, there are very few people who do not use weapons, and only have a certain proportion among the body refining monks.

The reason why man is the spirit of all things is because he has wisdom and knows how to use tools, and weapons are also a kind of tools, and they are tools used in battle. Compared with bare-handed, it is obvious that hand-held weapons are more lethal, especially among martial artists and low-level monks, which leads to the fact that there are few people in the world who are proficient in fists and feet, and there are very few such cheats included in the Qianqing Academy, and the level is low.

From this point of view, Qi An can be regarded as an outlier in the backing branch and even the entire Qianqing Academy, and the exercises and martial arts he cultivates are all ignored by no one, but only one method of stepping on the moon and chasing the stars is a more common choice for others.

A lot of time passed, Zhao Hu attacked fiercely, but still did not hurt Qi An, he couldn't help but feel anxious, seeing that his true qi was about to run out, Zhao Hu turned his heart sideways, and actually used a lose-lose play, and did not avoid Qi An's attack, and threw the ghost head ring knife in his hand suddenly, drawing an arc and slashing at the opponent's neck.

This knife has a name, called "Flying Knife Decapitation", it can be said that Zhao Hu pressed the bottom of the box to kill the move, but also a desperate move, because the knife is out of the hand to fly, can not successfully kill the enemy, it will be due to the loss of weapons and reduce the combat power, so until the last resort, Zhao Hu will never be easy to use.

As soon as the knife flew out, Zhao Hu was hit in the chest by Ben Qi'an's palm, and the whole person was slapped out and hit the stone wall behind him again. And Qi An didn't expect that the opponent would make a lose-lose play, and he actually took off the knife, although he took the first step to knock Zhao Hu away, but the knife that had already shot was not affected, and still slashed towards Qi An's neck with a strong wind.

It happened suddenly, the speed of the knife was fast, it was a hand-to-hand fight between the two, it was difficult to avoid it if it was a slow beat, the ghost head ring knife was very accurate on the right side of Qi An's neck, but it was like slashing an iron pillar, the knife body was bounced away with a bang, and Qi An Bai Shengsheng's neck did not even appear a single blood mark, obviously not even the epidermis was broken.

Not only was Zhao Hu, who was holding his chest and vomiting blood, dumbfounded, but even the red-clothed thieves who were fighting outside the door were all dumbfounded, looking at the ghost head ring knife that fell to the ground in disbelief. From their point of view, although they could only see Qi An's back, and they couldn't see the part where Qi An was cut by the blade, the picture of blood spraying wildly did not appear, but the ghost head knife made of refined steel was bounced away from afar, while Qi An, who was facing away from the stone gate, stood as steady as a mountain, and did not even move his footsteps, obviously this killing knife did not cause him any harm at all.

"You...... You ......" Zhao Hu looked at Qi An in shock, unable to say a complete sentence for a long time.

Qi An stepped forward to pick up the ghost head ring knife on the ground, and inexplicably said "thank you" to Zhao Hu, and then a dodge quickly stepped forward to cut off Zhao Hu's head, and Zhao Hu was in shock until he died, he couldn't figure out what kind of monster he had encountered, like a god and a demon, invulnerable.

Qi An threw away the blood-stained ghost head ring knife in his hand, picked up Zhao Hu's head, wrapped it in his torn coat and carried it in his hand, and turned back and walked towards the stone gate. At this time, the red-clothed thieves found out that the murderer who killed their boss was actually very young, but his slightly immature face was extremely calm and confident.

Looking at Qi An who came over, the red-clothed thieves trembled, and unconsciously got out of the way, and Qi An didn't kill these little minions, and calmly walked away along the road that everyone got out of the way, until the figure disappeared into the darkness in the distance.

Hutou Mountain belongs to the territory of Pingshan County, Qi An came to Pingshan County, sent Zhao Hu's head to the county government together with the task documents issued by the backing branch, and received the reward in the exclamation of a group of officials, only twelve jade coins, which is not as good as the reward that Qi An received in Pingyang County after killing Li Liuxian two years ago.

It stands to reason that Zhao Hu's strength is definitely above Li Liuxian, and the bounty will be higher, and in fact, according to the official normal pricing, Li Liuxian's head is only worth ten jade coins, and Zhao Hu's head is worth twelve, the reason why Qi An was able to receive more rewards from Pingyang County was completely from the county lieutenant Zhao Song's wooing, and at that time, Qi An not only killed a Li Liuxian, but also attached a Li Wok'er, and even injured Fan Suo, killing a large number of ordinary bandits, resulting in the entire government army's bandit suppression work was extremely smooth, and this credit was not only comparable to killing a bandit leader。

It's like Qi An has killed Zhao Hu now, but the red-clothed thief is still there, although he has lost his leader, he has not been uprooted, and he may continue to make trouble, for the sake of the township, which requires the government to organize the army to encircle and suppress it, so as to get rid of the future troubles forever, unlike Qingliang Mountain Liuxian Village, the entire stronghold was destroyed, and the three masters died on the spot, and the minions of his subordinates died, those who fled, and those who did not escape were also arrested, and they could no longer become a climate.

After resting in Pingshan County for one night, Qi An sorted out the experience gained from the battle with Zhao Hu, and the next day he turned to the northeast and headed to the last destination, which was Huangni Town under the jurisdiction of Baiyun County.

Baiyun County is no longer within the scope of Gushan County, but to the neighboring Fufeng County, both of which belong to the territory of Qingzhou.

Qingzhou has a total of six counties, the state capital is in Heishui County, so Heishui County is also known as Fucheng, and the remaining five counties are Xiangfan County, Zhengwu County, Yiwu County, Fufeng County and Gushan County.

And the third target's hideout is in a rural town in Fufu County.

It took seven or eight days for Qi An to come to Huangni Town, one hundred and eighty miles outside Baiyun County, which was still the case of Qi An performing the method of stepping on the moon and chasing stars along the way, regardless of consumption. Of course, every day, Liqi An will only spend half of his time traveling, and the other half of his time finding a secluded place to meditate and practice or ponder martial arts.

Cultivation is important in perseverance, and it cannot be abandoned for a day.

And as a body refining cultivator, unlike a qi refining cultivator, there is a true element consumption, what Qi An consumes is his own physical energy, and the physical energy of a body refining monk is also equivalent to the true yuan of a qi refining cultivator, it is not endless, once you consume too much, you will feel tired, and the attributes of your body will decline, which is almost equivalent to the true qi exhaustion of a qi refining cultivator.
