Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 256 Traitor
Wen Renqiu frowned, this was his first time going out to sea for training, and just by coincidence, he encountered bandits?

Or in other words, the other party was coming for him?

He looked at the hunchback, only to see that the hunchback was looking in one direction. Not only him, but also those who stood up were looking towards a corner in front of them at the same time.

There, a figure was drinking alone with his back to the crowd.

The man raised the glass and poured the wine directly into his mouth, then turned around and faced everyone.

The man was dressed in a simple cloth robe, which was inconspicuous. He wore a conical hat on his head and sat there with his back straight. He took off the hat and tore off a human skin mask from his face, revealing his true face.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties with a scar on his face and a cold look in his dark eyes.

"Wei Zhou." Wen Renqiu recognized the person when he saw the face.

"Wei Zhou..." Many people have heard of this name. Wei Zhou is also from Yazhou City, and the Wei family is a noble family with a great reputation in Yazhou City.

But a year ago, a tragedy happened to the Wei family. Because they colluded with demons to hijack a ship, their property was searched by the government. Wei Zhou escaped.

At this moment, Wei Zhou appeared here, was he coming for Wen Ren Qiu?
"Master Wenren, do you recognize me?" Wei Zhou placed his hands on both sides of the table, his eyes gleaming like lightning, revealing a hint of hostility.

"You are a wanted criminal by the imperial court, so of course I recognize you." Wen Renqiu said, "A year ago, your Wei family colluded with demons to hijack a ship, but you managed to escape by luck. Now, are you using the same trick again?"

"The word 'official' has two parts. Since you accused me of colluding with demons, then if I don't, I'll be at a disadvantage." Wei Zhou took a sip from the wine glass and said, "The governor of Yazhou exterminated my entire family. Today, I will take you as my burial companion."

Sure enough, they came for Wen Renqiu...

"Senior Wei, since it is a grudge between you two, I am just passing by. Can I leave?" A man stood up and said. As soon as he finished speaking, another flash of blood burst out, and his head was cut off from behind.

The crowd was in an uproar, and many of them had magical powers surging in their bodies, staring at Wei Zhou with unfriendly eyes.

"Be quiet."

The hunchback narrowed his eyes and looked around at the crowd. Everyone felt extremely uncomfortable looking at those eyes, and many of them looked a little embarrassed.

Am I so unlucky today that I’m going to die here?

"Are these the only people you have?" Wen Ren Qiu asked. It seemed that these people could not stop the practitioners on the boat, right?

Behind him, two cultivators stood up at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, both of them were cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.

At the same time, someone from outside walked into the hall. They were the escorts of the ship. The leader was an old man, who was also a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm.

"You have broken the rules of my ship." The old man exuded a powerful aura. The people following him were all strong in cultivation. In addition, including the cultivators on the ship, there were five or six cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm.

This made the people on the boat feel more at ease. Such a lineup is already very strong. They should be able to deal with this group of bandits, right?
"Xiao Meng, come to my side." Sun Zhao said to Yan Qingmeng.

"Okay..." Yan Qingmeng responded in a low voice and went to Sun Zhao. Tan Yue naturally followed.

"Young Master Yang." Yan Qingmeng called out to Li Fan.

Li Fan understood that the other party wanted him to pass through. He smiled and nodded in response, but did not stand up. Instead, he looked at the conflict in the middle.

Yan Qingmeng was stunned. This man was so calm and could even smile like this.

Li Fan took a look outside, and then the crowd heard the sounds of fighting and screaming coming from outside. The old man in the Nascent Soul Realm frowned and looked back.

boom……

A figure flew inside and hit the crowd behind him. He dodged and saw a figure lying on the ground, a bloody mess.

"Evil spirit."

The old man had a gloomy face, and then he saw a group of figures walking in.

The leader was a young man who looked to be in his thirties. He had tentacles on his head, scaly skin on his face and neck, long green hair, and an evil aura in his eyes.

"Jiao..." Li Fan glanced at the other person. The young man walked forward and sat next to Wei Zhou. He asked, "How do we divide it?"

"We have already agreed that I will only take part of it to deal with my brothers, and the rest will be yours." Wei Zhou said, "On the premise that you help me kill them."

"Need I say more?" said the dragon monster.

"Jiaomo Island." Wen Renqiu stared at the young man and guessed his origins.

This Jiaomo Island is one of the many islands in the West Sea. The owner of the island is a Jiao Demon King, a great demon in the sixth realm. He often stirs up trouble in the West Sea, and even his father can do nothing about it.

"That's refreshing." The dragon monster smiled, then turned around and looked around the crowd with his evil eyes. It seemed that he could have a good meal.

Moreover, there are cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, which is a great tonic.

When his eyes fell on Lu Yuan, he paused and said with a wicked smile: "Human women are indeed more beautiful, with delicate skin and tender flesh, unlike those voluptuous women on the island."

Lu Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her cold eyes. Li Fan also narrowed his eyes and drank the wine in the glass. "Buzz..."

Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning, and a figure behind Wen Renqiu suddenly attacked with a lightning whip in his hand, like a purple lightning snake, flashing with a breath of destruction.

The thunder whip was swung fiercely towards the dragon monster. A beam of lightning appeared in the air and cut through the air.

But an old monster walked out from behind the dragon monster, and the water waves surged and turned into a water curtain. The thunder whip swept down and hit the water ball, but it had no effect.

"Boom..." Suddenly, thunder ran wildly in the hall, and the cultivators in the Condensation Core Realm took action. In a moment, lightning snakes danced wildly in the sky. The whole hall was submerged in lightning, and those lightning whips slashed down like sharp swords of lightning.

But the water ball spread outwards just as fiercely. When the thunder whip struck down, it passed through the water waves, but its attack power was weakened. When it struck down, it landed on the huge tortoise shell, making a thunderous sound, but it failed to break the tortoise shell's defense.

A huge wave swept out, submerging the cultivator holding the thunder whip and covering his body. He moved backwards but seemed to encounter a huge resistance.

The old demon appeared in front of him in an instant and punched out with his huge fist as hard as a tortoise shell.

"Bang, bang..."

There were continuous loud noises, and the body of the Nascent Soul cultivator was blown away. At the same time, the tables and chairs in the hall were overturned, and the roof above their heads exploded under the impact of the terrifying waves.

Outside, the evil aura filled the air. When everyone looked up, they found that there were demonic figures everywhere above their heads.

The sword intent in front of Li Fan turned into a sword curtain that blocked the waves, and then dissipated.

The surroundings were in a mess.

"Sword cultivator?" Yan Qingmeng, who was not far away, glanced at Li Fan. Was that sword intent just now?
"Wenren Qiu, your father destroyed my Wei family. Now, prepare to die." Wei Zhou said coldly. After he said that, he stood up and a violent aura swept out from him.

He moved forward and raised his hand to grab Wen Ren Qiu, but he saw another Nascent Soul cultivator behind Wen Ren Qiu step forward, flames sweeping out, his whole body was like a furnace, and a stream of hot air spread out.

Wei Zhou faced him with a palm strike, and the storm he created swept all around. Wei Zhou said coldly, "Old thief, you are also responsible. Die."

He exerted force with his palm, and saw the other party's body soaring into the sky and rushing out. Wei Zhou also rose from the ground, full of murderous intent.

“Young Master, can we start killing now?” The sea monster lying on top of his head asked the young man sitting there. The sea monster seemed to be enjoying it and said with a smile, “No hurry. Give Wei Zhou some face today and let him kill to his heart’s content.”

"I know that there is no major grudge between the prefecture and Jiaomo Island. Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the court by doing this?" Wen Renqiu looked at the Jiaomo and said.

"Threatening me?" The young man said with a smile, "If you all die, who will know? The West Sea is so big, how can the court manage it?"

"Brother Jiao, there is no need to fight to the death." Chi Yu, who was beside Wen Renqiu, said with a smile: "Perhaps we can also cooperate. What Wei Zhou can give you, we can also give you. Moreover, you don't have to worry about the risks from the court. What do you think?"

"Oh?" The Jiao demon smiled evilly, "What can you give me?"

Wen Renqiu looked at Chi Yu, and Chi Yu replied: "Now that things have come to this, we must survive."

He continued, "What Wei Zhou can do, we can do too, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"Chi Yu..." Someone looked at Chi Yu angrily. This guy also wants to collude with the demon?
"Mr. Wenren, don't forget your identity. You are the son of the prefect." Someone was worried that Wenren Qiuzhen would agree with Chi Yu's opinion.

"Interesting." There was a hint of teasing in the dragon monster's eyes. Humans, tsk...

"In that case, bring her here first." The dragon monster pointed at Lu Yuan. Since he had nothing to do, it would be nice to play with this human.

Chi Yu looked at Lu Yuan. It was indeed the demon and the evil one.

But even he was moved by such a woman, let alone a demon.

"Brother Jiao, you have good eyesight. This human woman is of top quality. I will bring her here for you to enjoy." Chi Yu stepped forward and walked towards Li Fan and the others.

Huang Xiong had already stood up, his eyes blazing with anger.

Li Fan also put down the wine glass in his hand and looked up at Chi Yu.

"The girl heard it too. Do you want to go by yourself or do you want me to do it?" Chi Yu looked at Lu Yuan and said.

Yan Qingmeng looked at that side nervously, but under the current situation, she had no way to intervene. Tan Yue did not dare to say much, but was just thinking about how to get out of this situation today.

"You are afraid of monsters, but not me?" Li Fan looked up at Chi Yu and asked.

Chi Yu was stunned and looked at Li Fan. At this age, even if he was talented, how high could his cultivation be?
Li Fan raised his arm and grabbed in the air, then he heard a dragon roar and saw the shadow of a dragon appear. Its huge claws grabbed Chi Yu in the air. This was the dragon catching technique.

By the time Chi Yu reacted, it was too late. His head was grabbed by the dragon's sharp claws. The dragon's phantom seemed to be real, and its claws grabbed his head and lifted his body into the air.

Chi Yu’s face turned pale and he struggled but couldn’t break free.

"Chi Yu..." The person behind him moved forward, but saw Li Fan exerting force in the air. With a dragon roar, his sharp claws smashed down, smashing Chi Yu's head to the ground, blood splattered, and his body lay dead on the spot.
