Feeling that a martial artist not weaker than him was approaching this place.
He imdiately put down his chopsticks and pushed open the door.
...
Outside the inn, a blue figure flashed by.
Once this figure stopped, the blurry silhouette imdiately beca clear.
This was a man in his forties, wearing blue martial attire, with a neatly trimd beard on his chin.
His posture was upright, his steps steady, and his eyes bright.
He was Ou Qinghe, the second son of the patriarch of the Ou Family branch.
Due to his extraordinary talent, he reached the Gang Condensation Realm at a relatively young age, able to condense more than three ters of Gang Qi, making him the second most important figure in the Ou Family branch.
He was proficient in tracking skills and practiced the martial art Celestial Deford Foot, known for its swift movent.
Therefore, from the mont he received the ssage, he tracked all the way to Chaofeng Manor, and found the carriage convoy of Su Que and others, taking less than a day.
Seeing the carriage tracks stop at this inn, he stopped in front of its entrance.
He then brushed his blue martial attire and stepped into the inn.
After entering the inn, he first walked towards the back yard, seeing over a dozen carriages parked there.
Among them were eight carriages of the sa style.
He had received a ssage describing the style of Su Que’s convoy carriages.
The style of these eight carriages was exactly the sa as described in the ssage he received.
Moreover, being a Gang Condensation Realm martial artist, his sense of sll was sharp, and he could faintly sll a dicinal aroma wafting from these carriages.
’They are indeed here.’
Ou Qinghe coldly chuckled, his smile twitching the beard on his chin.
Afterwards, he left the backyard, went to the inn’s first layer, found the shopkeeper, and quietly asked, "Do you know where the owner of those eight carriages outside is?"
"Here."
At this mont, Ou Qinghe suddenly heard a faint voice from behind him.
After Su Que pushed the door open, he imdiately noticed Ou Qinghe.
Seeing Ou Qinghe’s steady steps and bright eyes, he knew this person must be skilled in martial arts and not weak in strength.
He didn’t recognize Ou Qinghe, but he still went downstairs and quietly approached him.
When he reached behind Ou Qinghe, Su Que heard Ou Qinghe’s question to the inn shopkeeper.
Initially, he thought of directly subduing Ou Qinghe here.
But knowing that later he’d need to go to the Prefecture City to find the Commander Wu Xingkong of the Chuyun Army to get the secret of the Life and Death Talisman.
With so many people in the inn, if he acted now, others might see and the news would spread.
Thus, he decided to lure Ou Qinghe out of the inn before making a move.
Upon hearing Su Que’s answer, Ou Qinghe turned around to see a man wearing a cloak.
Inside the cloak seed to be a Rakshasa Mask.
"Let’s go outside and talk..."
Before Su Que could finish speaking, Ou Qinghe suddenly emitted Vigorous Qi all over his body.
Azure Gang Qi appeared suddenly on his right foot, and he kicked fiercely towards Su Que!
’The Celestial Deford Foot Third Technique? From the Ou Family branch?’
Su Que imdiately recognized this person’s martial arts and knew where he ca from.
Seeing he couldn’t lure this person outside, he sighed inwardly.
Forming his right hand into a saber shape, he struck towards Ou Qinghe’s left waist!
Ou Qinghe saw this and was shocked.
He wondered why this person aid with just one saber stroke at the flaw of his Celestial Deford Foot Third Technique.
He didn’t know whether this person had also practiced the Celestial Deford Foot or if it was just a coincidence.
The left waist was the flaw of the Third Technique of the Celestial Deford Foot because when executing this move, the left waist was left open and difficult to defend.
Ou Qinghe hurriedly used his hand to block Su Que’s hand saber while retracting his foot.
However, Su Que’s strike also used the Sunflower Manual, making it extrely fast.
With a "hiss," Ou Qinghe was yet to recover his defense when Su Que’s Sword Gang cut into Ou Qinghe’s left waist.
His left waist imdiately showed a saber mark, and fresh blood gushed out.
Ou Qinghe felt a surge of intense pain spreading throughout his body.
He introspected his body and found that his left kidney was also injured.
There was a deep saber mark on it, bleeding continuously.
After disabling Ou Qinghe, Su Que grabbed his collar and dragged him out of the inn.
He dragged him all the way to an empty alley where, without a word, he directly injected a stream of Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi into Ou Qinghe’s body.
And brushed once on Ou Qinghe’s throat with his right hand.
The Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi, as fiery as thunder, circled within Ou Qinghe’s body.
Ou Qinghe felt intense pain in his Five Viscera and Six Bowels.
Especially his left kidney, already injured, now struck by the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi, was bleeding even more profusely, causing unbearable pain.
He opened his mouth wide, wanting to scream.
But Su Que intercepted part of the Qi Blood in his throat, making him only able to open his mouth wide without uttering any sound.
Su Que withdrew most of the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi and then brushed Ou Qinghe’s throat again, allowing his Qi Blood to flow freely, enabling him to speak.
"If you don’t want to suffer, answer honestly," Su Que said.
Without waiting for Ou Qinghe to agree, he asked, "Are you from the Ou Family branch?"
"Yes, I’m from the Ou Family. Do you know the Ou Family..."
"Aside from you, is there anyone else who ca over?" Su Que interrupted Ou Qinghe and asked further.
Ou Qinghe didn’t answer this question, still saying, "Do you know the Ou Family’s strength...!"
Seeing this person still talking to himself even after suffering pain, Su Que brushed Ou Qinghe’s throat again and injected another stream of the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi into his body.
Ou Qinghe imdiately convulsed in pain, opening his mouth wide, yet unable to make a sound.
Su Que brushed his hand to let his throat’s Qi Blood flow freely and said, "If you don’t want to suffer, answer properly."
Then he asked again, "Aside from you, is there anyone else who ca over?"
"No one..." Ou Qinghe, having suffered twice, felt afraid, and finally answered obediently.
Su Que then asked, "How many techniques of Celestial Deford Foot do you know?"
Upon hearing this, Ou Qinghe shuddered inwardly.
He thought during the confrontation that this person might know the Celestial Deford Foot.
With such a question, he even more believed that this person knew the Celestial Deford Foot.
’Where did this person learn the Celestial Deford Foot? Could it be he also learned from pressing other mbers of the Ou Family branch?’ Ou Qinghe thought to himself.
Not wanting to suffer, he replied, "Five techniques."
"Are you the patriarch of the Ou Family?" Su Que asked.
"No," Ou Qinghe answered.
"How many techniques of Celestial Deford Foot does the patriarch of the Ou Family know?"
"Six techniques."
"Does your branch have a secret manual for the Celestial Deford Foot?" Su Que asked.
Su Que had only deduced the techniques up to the Third Technique of the Celestial Deford Foot.
He could continue to deduce further, but it would take ti.
Since he later had to deal with the Ou Family branch anyway, directly obtaining the remaining three techniques from them would be more convenient than deducing them himself.
"Yes..."
Crack!
After asking this question, Su Que twisted Ou Qinghe’s neck.
He first perford the Nine Yin Corpse Claw, absorbing all the Death Qi from Ou Qinghe.
Then, he activated the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons, his hands releasing Myriad Poison True Qi, instantly covering Ou Qinghe’s corpse.
Once he retracted the Myriad Poison True Qi, Ou Qinghe’s corpse vanished without a trace.
Su Que clapped his hands and returned to the inn.
By the ti he returned to the inn, the Heaven-Breaking Army martial artists had already hitched the carriages to the horses.
They were experienced Heaven-Breaking Army soldiers.
Seeing Su Que had fought soone in the inn, they knew they couldn’t stay, so they all went to fetch the carriages.
Su Que grabbed a bundle of clothing from his room and got onto the carriage.
The Heaven-Breaking Army martial artists drove the carriage, leaving this city for another city adjacent to the Prefecture City.
Su Que instructed several martial artists to clear the carriage tracks on the ground.
Since there were eight carriages, the tracks were plentiful and difficult to clear.
However, the distance to the other city was short, so the clearing work wasn’t overly strenuous.
An hour later, they arrived at another city.
The Heaven-Breaking Army martial artists found an inn in the city.
After Su Que put the bundle down in his room, he flew towards the Prefecture City of Chuyun.
It was late at night, a perfect ti to stealthily infiltrate the Chuyun Army’s camp and force its commander Wu Xingyun to disclose the Life and Death Talisman.
