262: Chapter 262 Trying to Escape!
Seeing Pei Qingyun agree, Liu Three-Blade's mood calmed down.
Three against three: Wang Hengshan against Poison Three, he against Yan Qingying, and Pei Qingyun against the Laughing Arhat.
Of these three battles, the outcome of any one would affect the final situation.
After assigning tasks, the three looked at their respective opponents.
Except for the suddenly appeared Yan Qingying, Pei Qingyun had already learned about the intelligence and methods of the other two beforehand.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
With a burst of air-exploding sounds, the three moved.
Passive defense is not as good as taking the initiative.
Liu Three-Blade charged in the front, while Pei Qingyun and Wang Hengshan were on the flanks.
As the three rushed forward, the three currents of air generated tore through the dead trees and weeds around them, forcibly carving a path through the dense forest.
A few breaths later, the two sides stood several feet apart.
Although they did not fight immediately, they all unleashed their Qi and blood.
Six Grandmasters' Qi and blood collided, and the air seemed to produce a muffled sound.
An extremely oppressive aura swept out in all directions.
If an ordinary Five-Viscera Martial Artist were in this range, they would likely be suppressed by this aura.
After the first wave of probing, both sides restrained their Qi and blood.
Six Grandmasters were mixed together; in this narrow space, it was obviously impossible to spread out.
Of course, if the strength of the two sides was vastly different, it would be another matter.
Obviously, neither side thought they would lose.
Without waiting for Liu Three-Blade to speak, the Laughing Arhat spoke first, "Commander Liu is worthy of being the Genius sent by the main office. Your thoughts coincide with mine. If Commander Liu hadn't captured and killed my two fellow Disciples, I wouldn't have come to Longnan Prefecture. Since things have come to this, why don't we stop and make peace? I will leave Longnan Prefecture, and Commander Liu will also stop here."
Upon hearing this, Pei Qingyun's mind became a bit active.
Being able to get a pure origin fruit for free without fighting was undoubtedly the best.
However, he didn't think Liu Three-Blade would accept.
Of course, if this condition were changed to Wang Hengshan, he might not refuse.
One of the responsibilities of the Evil Suppression Bureau is to hunt down Disciples of evil sects like the Blood Demon Sect. This is true. But that is based on having sufficient strength.
If one's own strength is insufficient, it is not enough to solve the evil sect Disciples in the territory.
Then there are two plans. One is to request assistance from the main office. The second is to drive them out of their own jurisdiction.
As the saying goes, let your Fellow Daoist die, not me.
There is a competitive relationship between prefectures.
Although they are generally united against outsiders when facing evil sect Disciples, no one wants their own prefecture's Evil-Suppressing Guards to suffer damage.
It's a pity that the person he met was Liu Three-Blade.
As an Evil-Suppressing Guard from the main office, the target of his mission has always been the Laughing Arhat.
Liu Three-Blade sneered, "Stop and make peace? As long as you are within the territory of our Great Jing, you are the mortal enemy of our Evil Suppression Bureau."
The Laughing Arhat's eyes turned cold, "In that case, I cannot keep you either. These Yunshan Mountains will be your burial ground."
"Sure enough, we still have to fight." Pei Qingyun thought to himself.
Almost at the same time the Laughing Arhat's words fell, both sides attacked each other.
Yan Qingying and the Laughing Arhat went together, heading straight for Liu Three-Blade.
In their view, Liu Three-Blade posed the greatest threat.
As long as Liu Three-Blade was injured or even killed, it would be enough to change the battle situation.
And Pei Qingyun was only the second target.
As for Wang Hengshan, he was not taken seriously by the two.
But just as the two approached Liu Three-Blade, Pei Qingyun blocked the path of the Laughing Arhat's attack.
"Get lost!" The Laughing Arhat slammed a palm out, and immediately a majestic force struck Pei Qingyun.
This seemingly casual blow actually contained 80% of the Laughing Arhat's power.
He had long anticipated that Pei Qingyun would intercept.
But he was confident that with this blow, even if a Top Grandmaster responded in a hurry, even if they wouldn't be injured, they would be repelled by this force.
What's more, Pei Qingyun was so old.
Even if he really was a Top Grandmaster, it was impossible to exert Peak strength in such a short time.
And he could take advantage of this gap to bypass Pei Qingyun and complete the joint attack with the Lady of Mingluo.
Looking at Pei Qingyun who did not dodge or evade, the light in his eyes became brighter.
This was even smoother than he had imagined.
A Top Grandmaster is nothing more than this.
However.
His pride lasted less than a breath.
I saw another palm slap against his palm.
Two palms, one old and wrinkled, with skin clinging to the bones, the other plump, rosy, and full of flesh and blood.
Whoever looked at it would think the latter was more powerful.
But the fact was the opposite.
The moment the two palms collided, the Laughing Arhat felt a massive force strike from the palm.
This massive force came surging and powerful, exceeding even his full-strength strike.
Not to mention, this palm with 80% power.
Under this massive force, the Laughing Arhat's face stiffened, and his figure stagnated. Immediately, the whole person retreated several feet, until he hit a big tree, and only then did he forcibly stop his pace.
"Such strong power." The Laughing Arhat stood still, spat out a mouthful of blood, and blood dripped from his arm and palm.
Feeling the condition of his body, he was shocked.
You know, evil sect Martial Artists like him basically practice blood-line Cultivation Techniques.
Although blood-line Cultivation Techniques have many side effects, they are a notch stronger than ordinary Cultivation Techniques in nourishing Qi and blood.
This made him superior to Martial Artists of the same Realm in terms of pure physical strength.
But this punch almost shattered his palm.
Undoubtedly, he lost in strength, and he lost in a crushing way.
It is not that he has never met a Grandmaster with stronger power than him, such as a Grandmaster who practices earth-type Cultivation Techniques, whose defense will be added to power.
But like Pei Qingyun, this was the first time he had been crushed in power.
"Who exactly are you, why do you have such power, are you a System Grandmaster?" The Laughing Arhat looked at Pei Qingyun several feet away with horror in his eyes.
A System Grandmaster, as the name implies, is a Grandmaster who purely practices system Cultivation Techniques.
System Cultivation Techniques focus on tempering the Physical Body. Unlike other types of Cultivation Techniques, they do not contain attributes.
There is no distinction between the two.
System Martial Artists have strong bodies, are more durable, are not easy to die, and are not broken by low-level Martial Artists.
And other types of Martial Artists have various attribute bonuses. These attributes have many effects such as destructiveness, vitality, flexibility, etc.
But there are not many Martial Artists who practice system Cultivation Techniques.
First, the promotion speed of practicing system Cultivation Techniques is far inferior to other types of Cultivation Techniques, and second, system Cultivation Techniques consume relatively more resources.
However, fundamentally, it is because the cost-effectiveness of system Cultivation Techniques is not high.
Because of this, there are very few Martial Artists who practice system Cultivation Techniques.
Only some reckless people who advocate physical strength will practice this system.
In the Great Jing Dynasty, it is no exaggeration to say that there is only one in ten thousand Martial Artists who truly practice system Cultivation Techniques. Not to mention reaching the Grandmaster Realm, there are only a handful in the Beilong Continent.
"System Grandmaster, I am not." Pei Qingyun chuckled in his heart.
He didn't know why the Laughing Arhat thought so, but he didn't need to explain.
He never advocated pure physical strength.
Whoosh!
Without waiting for the Laughing Arhat to continue speaking, Pei Qingyun rushed forward like a cannonball.
A few feet was just a blink of an eye.
The next moment, a golden light burst from his eyes, and a phantom of a great sun rose behind him. Within a few feet of him as the center, a scorching aura faintly leaked out, and the temperature around him was almost materialized.
This is the performance of the Blazing Sun Fire Art at the Perfection Realm, running to the extreme.
Using fire to control the enemy!
Compared to when he killed Bao Er and He Jiu, his control of the Blazing Sun Fire Art was more handy.
If he met Bao Er and He Jiu again, Pei Qingyun was confident that this blow would be enough to let the two fall.
Facing this earth-shattering blow.
"Fire-type Grandmaster!"
The Laughing Arhat's pupils dilated!
At this moment, he recognized it.
Pei Qingyun was not the System Grandmaster he said at all.
But why does a fire-type Grandmaster have such power?
Could it be an invincible Grandmaster!
This sudden thought made his Soul tremble violently.
However, Pei Qingyun's offensive had arrived, and he had no more time to think.
The pressure brought by this blow forced the Laughing Arhat to use his full strength.
Almost at the same time, a huge blood-colored phantom appeared behind him, and a strange flame was entangled around the blood-colored phantom. With the spitting of the flame, a thick bloody smell followed, as if the owner of this phantom was an evil ghost from Hell.
Blood Demon Heaven-Burning Technique!
One of the Xuan-level top-grade Cultivation Techniques of the Blood Demon Sect, and it was precisely because he practiced this Cultivation Technique to Perfection that he entered the ranks of Top Grandmasters.
At this moment, facing Pei Qingyun.
He had to use this trump card.
In an instant, the two phantoms collided, without a heaven-shaking loud noise, let alone any aftermath.
The collision of the two phantoms was like a force on another level.
But through the changes in the phantoms, one could still see the tragedy of this collision.
The flames around the Great Sun phantom and the strange flames of the blood-colored phantom merged together, extinguishing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, those with discerning eyes could still see that the speed of the blood-colored phantom's extinction was significantly faster than the Great Sun phantom.
It is foreseeable that when the Great Sun phantom dissipates to about one-third, the blood-colored phantom will be completely extinguished.
"My Blood Demon Heaven-Burning Technique, how could it lose! This is impossible, impossible?" The Laughing Arhat opened his eyes wide, looking at all this in disbelief.
In fact, in terms of Cultivation Techniques alone, the power of the Blazing Sun Fire Art is at most comparable to the Blood Demon Heaven-Burning Technique, or even a notch weaker.
No matter what, the Foundation of the Blood Demon Sect is at the same level as the imperial court, even the Cultivation Techniques practiced by Inner Sect Disciples are definitely high-quality among the same grade.
But all this is based on the premise that Pei Qingyun's values are consistent with the Laughing Arhat's.
Two Xuan-level top-grade Cultivation Techniques at Perfection, not only gave him the characteristic of endless life but also tempered his physique.
This also made his physique stronger than a Top Grandmaster.
In addition, through the Breakthrough of the attribute panel, his every Realm is perfect.
In short, his values are above the Laughing Arhat. Even if he only uses one Cultivation Technique, he is still stronger than the Laughing Arhat.
However, one Blazing Sun Fire Art could no longer allow him to crush Top Grandmasters in combat power, but defeating a Top Grandmaster was still easy.
All this seemed to take a long time, but it was just a flash.
Bang!
The moment the blood-colored phantom melted, the power of the Great Sun phantom fell.
Although the Great Sun phantom was less than one-third of its Peak, this force was still majestic.
The Laughing Arhat only felt that his whole body had been hit by a dump truck, his internal organs were a bit displaced, and a touch of sweetness sprayed from his mouth, like a blood-colored arrow, piercing the nearest tree trunk, leaving a hole the size of a fingertip.
On the surface, the injuries caused by the previous palm were more tragic, and the palm was almost broken. But in essence, the injuries caused by the Great Sun phantom far exceeded that palm.
The Laughing Arhat clutched his chest, and the severe pain coming from his chest made him almost suffocate.
The injuries caused by the Blazing Sun Fire Art are not limited to the surface. Its fire poison will burn the internal organs along the flesh and blood like bone-attaching poison until the internal organs completely lose their vitality.
"Damn it." The Laughing Arhat's eyes were red, and he roared.
At this moment, he could no longer care about suppressing the injuries in his body and could only retreat violently.
If he continued to fight, he might be left here.
But he wanted to retreat, how could Pei Qingyun let him wish.
Just as the Laughing Arhat retreated violently, Pei Qingyun followed closely.
"Laughing Arhat, where do you want to escape to, just stay here." Pei Qingyun sighed, his hand movements were not slow at all.
Bang!
In a hurry, the Laughing Arhat could only respond again. With this blow, the injuries in his body were inevitably affected.
The originally calm fire poison also became restless, and his hand movements slowed down by a point.
"Puff!"
The Laughing Arhat spat out another mouthful of blood, and the whole person was like a kite with a broken string, breaking several big trees in a row, and there was an extra palm print on his chest, deeply embedded in the flesh and blood.
"You deserve to die!" The Laughing Arhat's eyes were splitting, his red eyes staring at Pei Qingyun, with an expression of wanting to eat people.
"Let me die, you can't do it." Pei Qingyun's voice was calm, but falling into the Laughing Arhat's ears, it was no less than the judgment of the Grim Reaper.
The next moment, he appeared above the Laughing Arhat again.
The familiar scene reappeared, and he pointed at the Laughing Arhat's head.
When this finger falls, the Laughing Arhat's head will probably explode like watermelon juice.
Suddenly.
The Laughing Arhat's body was covered in blood, and a large amount of Qi and blood in his body was extracted, turning his whole person into a blood light and speeding away into the distance.
"Blood Demon Evasion Technique!" After missing a hit, Pei Qingyun looked in the direction of the blood light.
Unlike the Blood Demon Secret Technique, the Blood Demon Secret Technique continuously consumes one's own Qi and blood. For Blood Demon Sect Disciples, this is just an ordinary secret technique. As long as it is not consumed too much, it will not damage the Foundation.
The Blood Demon Evasion Technique is different. It is a forbidden technique. Its massive extraction of one's own Qi and blood in an instant is too violent, which will break the balance of the body and damage the Foundation.
Whether it is the Blood Demon Secret Technique or the Blood Demon Evasion Technique, he has witnessed them with his own eyes. Especially the Blood Demon Evasion Technique, he is very familiar with it. At that time, Ling Ziwen escaped from his hands once through the Blood Demon Evasion Technique.
He, Pei Qingyun, has made mistakes, but he will never make the same mistake twice.
