Chapter 70: The Grandmaster

Several teams of Jinwu guards surrounded the area where the Heshan Xiang Society was located from all directions.

Under the command of the fire chief, the Jin Wuwei guards were lined up in a neat formation, armed with guns and knives, and shouted loudly, and were divided into different areas according to the battalion system to conduct searches.

"Xue Chao, Zhang Yanze, Cui Han is leading your soldiers to guard the entrances and exits of various streets, you must not let anyone go out, and those who resist will be killed." Zhu Qing stood at the front of the queue and assigned the team to block the entrances and exits of the streets.

Xue Chao, Zhang Yanze and others were busy gathering their subordinates to guard the nearby streets and alleys.

"There are about 500 people in a battalion, and Qiu Shenji has invested a lot of money." Li Rong, who was hiding in a high place, looked at the Jinwu guards who were constantly running and said secretly, "That is Qiu Shenji, who is known as the bloody hand?" ”

Not far away, Qiu Shenji accompanied an old man in yellow surrounded by a group of knights in brocade, rode his horse through the street and came to the front of the Heshan Xiang Society.

Qiu Shenji's identity is very recognizable, wearing a scarlet robe, a well-proportioned figure, an elegant face, what is strange is that the skin is crystal like a girl, a pair of slender eyes somewhat destroy the harmony of the face, which makes people feel awe at a glance, and the body constantly exudes a feminine and dangerous aura, and no one approaches within a few steps around.

As if sensing someone's gaze, Qiu Shenji frowned slightly and looked in the direction of Li Rong.

Li Rong felt bad when he glanced at Qiu Shenji, and hurriedly bent down, skillfully avoiding Qiu Shenji's gaze.

"Heshan Xiangshe should be the property of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and it is also one of the lairs of the snake spirit in Luoyang," Qiu Lingtong said as he took half a step back and followed behind Qiu Shenji and the old man in yellow.

"King Yue's movements are getting bigger and bigger, and he is colluding with the snake spirit with bad intentions, we really can't take it lightly." Qiu Xingfang, the old man in yellow, said.

The two of them nodded yes.

The old man in yellow is Qiu Shenji's uncle, the seven-grade master of the previous generation of the Qiu family, Qiu Shenji specially invited him out of the mountain in order to deal with the "snake spirit" Li Ruoxue.

The Qiu family has been deeply involved in Luoyang since its entry into the Tang Dynasty, and its reputation has been rising, but its power is limited to the Luoyang area of the eastern part of the country, and it is rarely involved in the power struggle of the upper echelons, but Wu Zetian moved the imperial capital from Chang'an to Luoyang, and is based in Luoyang, so the Qiu family, as the head snake of Luoyang, can no longer ride on the wall and watch, and can only choose to bet on one side.

"If the snake spirit Li Ruoxue comes out, my uncle and I will drag him, and you will take some of it around to the backyard to catch the other bandit leaders in preparation for going back to torture." Qiu Shenji instructed Qiu Ling's fellow Daoists.

Qiu Lingtong turned around and whispered to a few brocade-clothed knights to prepare to start.

"Ruoxue, the brigade Jin Wuwei is coming, it seems that they are coming for us," Ma Jiayun shouted anxiously when he came to Li Ruoxue's room.

The door opened without wind, and Li Ruoxue walked out with a frosty face.

"Confidential documents, secret medicine, gold and silver are all taken away, you handle this matter personally, and I will deal with the rest." Li Ruoxue said coldly.

was deceived twice in a row, which made Li Ruoxue, an eight-grade grandmaster, embarrassed, and the person who came obviously didn't take her to heart.

Qiu Shenji, Qiu Xingfang stood in front of the Heshan Xiangshe, looking coldly at the shop in front of him.

"Rush in," Qiu Shenji said with a wave of his hand.

A group of soldiers smashed open the door of the shop and rushed in.

"Qiu Shenji, do you Qiu family want to destroy my shop and smash my door?" Li Ruoxue was dressed in a white palace suit, with a long sword in her hand, standing on the top of the building and looking down coldly.

"Li Ruoxue, weren't you already slapping me in the face when you killed my Jinwuwei soldiers?" Qiu Shenji raised his head and sneered, the blood and qi in his body flowed, and red threads appeared under the crystal skin, emitting a faint red light.

"Will the Bloody Hand Hill Divine Achievement care about the lives of those ordinary soldiers? It's ridiculous. Li Ruoxue sneered, "It seems that the Qiu family has made up their minds to choose a side and is ready to hug Wu Zetian's thigh?" ”

"The snake spirit kills innocents indiscriminately, endangering the stability of the court, everyone will be punished, killed!" A cold light flashed in Qiu Shenji's eyes, and he shouted loudly, and the sound echoed in the air, spreading all over the vicinity of dozens of meters.

The knights in brocade dismounted one after another, and rushed to the houses around the incense shrine with the Jinwu guards. These are the elite children of the Qiu family, and they usually act as thugs of the Luoshui Society.

Qiu Shenji rose into the air, tapped the saddle on tiptoe, jumped onto the roof, and stood three feet away from Li Ruoxue.

Qiu Xingfang also jumped on the wall and stood on the other side, ready to join the battle group and flank Li Ruoxue.

"Li Ruoxue, I have long wanted to learn if your Golden Snake Sword Technique is really as powerful as the legend?" Qiu Shenji said.

Saying that, Qiu Shenji's figure spread, with a lot of phantoms, dazzling, stepping on the roof, as if walking on the ground, his body seemed to have no weight and rushed towards Li Ruoxue, and at the same time, a faint blood mist rose around his body, and he came to the world like a ghost of blood hell with a crimson brocade robe.

"Hmph, the disgust of the Blood Demon Sect," Li Ruoxue said in disgust, adding a little caution to her expression.

The Blood Demon Sect is one of the eight major sects of the Demon Sect, known for its Blood Shadow Divine Skills, and the blood flame true qi cultivated by it is extremely vicious, burning immediately when it encounters blood, and it also has strong corrosiveness, which can easily tear apart the opponent's true qi. Of course, this is not the reason why the people of the Blood Demon Sect are annoying, killing people with knives is actually not much different from burning blood with blood flames, what they are disgusting is their ruthless and almost cruel character, and blood-devouring and killing is the normal state of the Blood Demon Sect.

Liu Lan, the last governor of Zhenguan, was beheaded by a rebellion, and Qiu Xinggong, who was the general of Zuo Xiaowei at the time, probed his heart and liver and ate it, which frightened the ministers of the court and provoked Emperor Taizong to personally summon him for questioning. Qiu Xinggong's move was due to his character, and it was also because of the Blood Demon Sect's practice of devouring blood. Qiu Shenji, like his father, has a cold personality, and kills people when he is angry, so he is called "Bloody Hand".

Li Ruoxue waved the golden snake sword in her hand, like a spirit snake, swinging out layers of sword waves, cutting through the air and making a "snort" sound. The sword aura permeated, making the night sky brighten, shining on the Qiu Shenji who rushed over.

"Blood Flame Big Mudra", Qiu Shenji snorted coldly, his hands turned crimson, exuding a scorching aura, and the blood flame true qi came out of his body, flickering on his palms like flames, and his hands turned into a pair of giant palms twice the size of his usual time and slowly pushed forward.

The movements of the two sides seem to be slow, but in fact they are extremely fast, and what ordinary people see is just an afterimage.

"Boom", the sword exchanged.

A wave of air spread out in all directions from the place of attack, and the roof tiles flew out several feet away as if blown by a hurricane.

Qiu Shenji was so shocked by the powerful anti-shock force that he couldn't help but fly backwards, and when he flew back, Qiu Shenji suddenly shook his arms, and his body crossed an arc like a bat, and suddenly flew forward, rushing towards Li Ruoxue like lightning.

Li Ruoxue was also shocked and took a few steps back, and the tiles under her feet were trampled to pieces, obviously discharging her true qi to her feet. However, she felt that the blood in her body was like being burned by fire, as if it was about to evaporate, and her true qi would also dissipate.

"The blood flame true qi is really weird," Li Ruoxue said in her heart, using the true qi to suppress the discomfort of the qi and blood in her body, "But it is impossible to defeat me with this." ”

I saw Li Ruoxue wave her hand lightly, the golden snake sword rose, and a vivid golden snake appeared in the air, breaking through the void and devouring towards Qiu Shenji.

Li Ruoxue did not spare his hand in the face of Qiu Shenji, showing the strength of the eight-rank grandmaster to the fullest, and exerting the golden snake swordsmanship to the extreme.

The formation of qi is one of the signs of the subtle realm, condensing the true qi into something tangible, bursting out with unimaginable power.

Ordinary masters can occasionally unleash a full force blow that condenses all their essence, while an eight-rank grandmaster in the subtle realm can make each of his blows the strongest blow in his current state, and his power can no longer be measured from the move technique alone.

When Lu Ziluan and Li Ruoxue fought before, the "Lotus Flower Heart Fetus" used was a tricky method, somewhat similar to the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration**", which is a technique that explodes potential to send out a blow beyond the usual, and this method is somewhat harmful to the body.

Li Rong lay on the roof in the distance, staring intently at the battle between Qiu Shenji and Li Ruoxue, the two grandmasters, watching it with relish, and he couldn't wait to run forward.

Grandmaster-level masters can see it against ordinary people, not to mention that there are few battles between grandmasters in ordinary times, and they will not attack easily unless they have to.

"Blood Flame Knife," Qiu Shenji said secretly in his heart, the blood-jade-like giant hand pointed at the knife, and slashed towards the attacking golden snake-shaped sword qi, and slashed fiercely, the blood light in Fang Yuanzhang's body bursted, the air seemed to stop flowing, and the speed of the golden snake's action seemed to slow down a little.

The blood flame-shaped sword qi intersected with the golden snake sword qi, and the blood flame was scattered in all directions, shattering into countless spark-like true qi, dissipating in the air, but the golden snake was also half smaller, and it quickly crashed into the edge of Qiu Shenji's palm.

"Bang", Qiu Shenji snorted, a strange true qi was like flying flotsam, but after attacking the meridians, it was extremely flexible and difficult to expel it, making Qiu Shenji can't help but fly back a few steps to dissolve the alien true qi.

In the Heshan Xiang Society, Jin Wuwei attacked the building, killed people when he saw them, and the men in charge of guarding the store were ordinary people, who were the opponents of the soldiers with weapons, and several of them fell to the ground with blood flowing all over their bodies, and their breath was completely empty.

The warriors of the Qiu family walked through the shop and into the backyard to search for the snake spirit hidden inside.
