The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 117 Half Step to the Peak
Yin Minjun only felt as if a magma was gushing into his dantian, flowing through his entire body along the eight extraordinary meridians.

She tried to draw the sword, but she couldn't adapt to it for a moment, and the sword tip cut through the scabbard directly, making a buzzing sound.

Zheng——

The long sword swept across, and the uncontrollable true energy left a deep mark on the ground.

"This this."

Yin Minjun couldn't believe it for a moment.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Li Miao's martial arts, from what I read in Deng Boxuan's letters, is different from what I experienced in person.

There are ways to pass on skills in the martial arts world, and the "Wedding Dress Magic Skill" is one of them. Shaolin's secret pills and Tantric initiation can all pass on one's skills to others.

However, all of these methods require paying a huge price. After the skills are passed on, the consequences may include the loss of all martial arts skills at best, or even death at worst.

Moreover, these methods all have different degrees of loss. If you destroy a top-notch one, you can only produce a first-rate one at best.

Who has ever heard of someone being able to achieve a "half-step to perfection" in a short moment, and still be calm and composed without blushing or panting?

Li Miao smiled and waved his hand in front of Yin Minjun: "Elder Yin, come back to your senses."

"If we don't save people, someone will die."

"Ah! Yes!"

Yin Minjun reacted, drew his sword and went away, then flashed to the side of Lao Qifeng.

Lao Qifeng only felt a sharp sound of wind coming from his side, and then someone came to him so fast that he almost didn't have time to react.

"This kind of light skill, is it Lord Li who made the move?"

He thought to himself, turned his head to look to his side, but was stunned for a moment.

"Elder Yin!?"

Yin Minjun said nothing, raised the sword in front of him, secretly circulated his internal energy, and looked at the big beast.

"The wild geese return to Zhurong"!
This sword move is the most profound and powerful one among the Hengshan School's signature sword techniques, the "Five Hengshan Divine Swords".

With a slash of sword, the scattered true energy actually blew away the fallen leaves all over the sky.

Zheng! ! ——

Seal the throat with one sword!
The Hengshan swordsmanship is not like the Taishan swordsmanship that seeks to overwhelm others with force, but is more of an unpredictable and strange swordsmanship. Because of this, the Hengshan school is mostly composed of women.

But this sword is so swift and sharp!

After cutting the tiger's throat, the remaining force was still there, and it actually chopped off the tiger's head that Lao Qifeng had been beating for a long time, leaving only flesh wounds!
Lao Qifeng was stunned.

Yin Minjun was the second-in-command of the Hengshan sect. He had dealt with her many times and had seen her in action, and her skills were just average and first-rate.

How could he suddenly have such a high level of martial arts?!
With someone like you in Hengshan Sect, why would they have to travel all the way to Qilu to attend the Five Mountains Alliance? Wouldn't it be better to just act arrogantly in the southern martial arts world?
"wrong."

In an instant, Lao Qifeng reacted and turned to look at Li Miao.

Li Miao made a gesture to silence him.

Lao Qifeng understood: "If it was the work of Lord Li who killed most of the Ming Cult in one night, it wouldn't be surprising."

"It's really amazing! I wonder how he can be only a thousand households with such martial arts skills?"

"Could it be that the imperial court deliberately did not put Lord Li on the stage in order to hide him?"

He was thinking secretly here, and Yin Minjun did not stop. He dodged to the side of a leopard and slashed out with another sword "Crane Soaring Purple Cover".

Just now she was not able to adapt to this powerful internal energy and used too much force.

But after all, she is also a top-notch martial artist with many years of experience. After she used the sword once, she has more or less understood her current strength.

This sword pierced directly into the leopard's chest and abdomen, piercing the heart inside the chest cavity. When the sword was drawn, a fountain of blood pumped up several feet high.

Without stopping, he dodged again and came behind a gray wolf that was as tall as his shoulders, and stabbed it with the sword again.

These beasts, including the Gu soldiers of Tai'an City that day, were difficult to deal with because they had thick skin and flesh, and ordinary top-notch masters could not break through their defenses with one or two strikes. In addition, they were fearless and their blood was poisonous, so Wang Hai and others were limited in how to deal with them. In fact, if they encountered an extremely powerful master, these things would not be of much use.

A top master can break his skin and flesh with one move, but his fearlessness and courage will weaken his defense of vital points, and the splattered blood will hardly stick to the top master.

Therefore, with the joining of Yin Minjun, the originally precarious situation was immediately reversed.

One sword means one life. The Hengshan School's signature light skill "Yuan Gong Somersault Cloud" is itself a movement technique known for its speed in the martial arts world. When used by Yin Minjun, it is as fast as lightning and unpredictable.

At this moment, in the woods, a man hiding under the roots of a tree felt his poisonous insects dying one by one, and his mind was shaken.

"How could it be! There is no one on the scene who is the best, how could they lose!?"

The death of the poisonous insect affected his mind. His heart was beating fast and a trickle of blood flowed out of his mouth.

"No, we must not let these people leave alive! Otherwise, our clan's heritage will be in danger!"

"Well, let's just die here!"

With this thought in mind, the great wizard did not hesitate. He reached out to take out the poison from his arms, ready to activate the insect and die together with these people in the martial arts world.

But then he heard a soft "bang" sound behind him.

What followed was a chill spreading across my chest.

He lowered his head and looked at his chest.

There was a small hole there, as thick as a thumb, from which blood was gushing out, staining the clothes red, flowing to the ground and seeping into the soil.

He couldn't believe it and reached behind him.

Behind him, on the tree trunk, there were two small holes that looked exactly like the ones on his chest.

"who……"

As the last thought flashed through his mind, he fell to the ground with a bang, twitched a few times, and was silent.

Li Miao retracted his fingers and put them into his sleeves.

"You still want to fight? Your heartbeat is leaking out, do you think I can't hear it?"

"Xuantian Finger is really useful."

When the great witch died, the beasts froze and could not move for a while.

Yin Minjun naturally would not miss this opportunity. He struck out with his sword one after another and killed them all in a moment.

Everyone was stunned by her performance and it took them a while to react.

"Elder Yin, he hid it so deeply!"

"Yes, yes. If it weren't for Elder Yin, I don't know how many people would have lost their lives."

"I cannot repay your life-saving grace. Elder Yin, I will definitely repay you in the future!"

After hearing everyone's flattery, Yin Minjun knew that this was not her credit and wanted to decline. But then she remembered that Li Miao did not want to expose his martial arts skills, so she had to accept it.

Surrounded by many masters, Yin Minjun looked through the crowd at Li Miao, who was standing aside with his hands on his sleeves.

Li Miao saw Yin Minjun looking at him, smiled, stretched out his hand from his sleeve, and gave Yin Minjun a thumbs up.

Yin Minjun's face turned red and she was at a loss for what to do.

It was Lao Qifeng who saw Yin Minjun's embarrassment and clapped his hands: "Okay, everyone, this is not the time to talk."

"I don't know if the Miao people have any other tricks up their sleeves. Our disciples are still waiting outside the tomb, and they should be getting impatient now."

"Let's go first. We'll talk about other things later after we meet up with the disciples."

Everyone also nodded.
