Chapter 177: Chapter 176: Qualified to Take a Shot at Me
Translator: 549690339
There have always been two Lords of the Shenxiao Gate, but this was known by no one.
Wei Qianli and Wei Wanli were twin brothers.
However, due to certain circumstances, they were separated from each other at a young age.
One grew up with their parents, while the other was roaming around the martial world, thought to be an orphan by Bai Xiaosheng, who took him as his disciple.
After a narrow escape from death, Wei Qianli finally reunited with his brother, Wei Wanli.
The two gathered those who obtained the inheritance of the Shenxiao sect and formed the current Shenxiao sect.
However, Wei Qianli often secluded himself for cultivation, with many of the sect’s affairs handed over to his brother Wei Wanli.
The plot to ambush Pei Xuanjing was proposed by Wei Wanli. But he didn’t hinder this plan and even chose to come along, hiding in the shadows.
Little did he expect that Yu Zhenzi’s betrayal this time not only failed to kill Pei Xuanjing but also got Wei Wanli caught in the trap.
Originally, his display of self-sacrifice was merely to help Wei Wanli escape.
But now, seeing Bai Xiaosheng, a person he had great enmity with, Wei Qianli could no longer hold back his accumulated rage over the years, and he forcefully made a move.
“Have you gone mad!” Wei Wanli looked horrified.
He called Wei Qianli out with the idea that they could team up and escape. However, he didn’t expect Wei Qianli to attack Bai Xiaosheng like a madman.
But Wei Qianli was deaf to his words.
Burdened with decades of hatred, Wei Qianli lost all reason at this moment. All his ambition and compromise dissipated, with only hatred remaining in his heart.
Bang!
With a furious attack from Wei Qianli, the long river of Blood Qi seemed to emerge faintly. His True Qi erupted all over his body, creating a wave of infinite Qi that swept across all quarters, steeped in the profound meaning of Martial Arts.
In the blink of an eye, two daggers appeared in his hands. The sharp blades were like dawn’s light, resembling roaming dragons. Accompanied by the whistling sound, they rushed directly at Bai Xiaosheng.
This thunderous move was far more powerful than Wei Wanli’s previous attempt.
Such ferocious and unparalleled momentum truly matched the power Pei Xuanjing had expected from the true Lord of Shenxiao Gate.
Yu Zhenzi thought to himself: “As expected, this is the true Lord taking action.”
At the moment Wei Qianli made his move, he felt the intimidating power he used to feel when facing him.
“No need!”
Bai Xiaosheng halted the intent of Pei Xuanjing and Qingxu to act.
He took a step forward, slight ripples flickered in his eyes, and the memory of how he taught Wei Qianli came to mind.
“Good, after so many years, you’ve grown stronger, enough to confront me,” Bai Xiaosheng said calmly.
He had nurtured and guided many people, but among them, Wei Qianli was the most talented in terms of innate talents, mentality, and grit.
If Wei Qianli hadn’t harbored evil intentions back then, Bai Xiaosheng even considered passing on his mantle to Wei Qianli, even if Wei Qianli was unable to inherit the Shenxiao sect’s legacy.
Regrettably, due to a too smooth development, Wei Qianli’s ambition grew to the point that he even plotted to kill Bai Xiaosheng.
For a decisive person like Bai Xiaosheng, he would naturally not allow such a thing to happen.
Hence, he preemptively struck, using the power of the Great Ming imperial court to encircle and annihilate this group of people, among whom was Wei Qianli.
“Go to hell!” Wei Qianli’s eyes flashed with a more intense killing intent.
“Heh, heh.” Bai Xiaosheng naturally sensed the undisguised murderous intent in Wei Qianli’s eyes.
Despite his light laugh, his heart harbored an even more determined killing intent.
Boom!
The ever-concealed Bai Xiaosheng erupted with a terrifying pressure, causing those around him to involuntarily gaze in his direction.
With several palm strikes in succession, his True Qi transformed into countless blossoming plums, forming a mysterious array that enveloped Wei Qianli.
Plum Blossom Divination.
This was the core method of Bai Xiaosheng’s lineage. Despite its lack of fame, it nonetheless ranked among the strongest martial art skills in the contemporary martial world.
Every stroke Bai Xiaosheng made seemed like a preemptive strike against the enemy, blocking Wei Qianli’s movement.
This was the unique feature of Plum Blossom Divination, predicting the enemy’s moves in advance.
Faced with such a martial art, even Wei Qianli found it extremely difficult to handle for a while.
He let out a loud roar, discarded his complex moves, and chose the simplest and most straightforward method to break the formation.
Bang!
Wei Qianli swung his dagger several times in a row. There was no flare or flamboyance, just the simplest of slicing and stabbing, which unexpectedly had an extraordinary effect against Plum Blossom Divination.
Of course, Bai Xiaosheng’s technique was far more than that. His footwork was profound, his body swayed, countering with a mysterious method. For a moment, Wei Qianli couldn’t touch him.
Wei Wanli who was by the side suddenly leaped up and attacked Bai Xiaosheng.
At the moment, he knew the situation was not good. The longer the delay, the more unfavorable it was for them.
He ordered the other four to hold back Pei Xuanjing, while he joined the battlefield with Wei Qianli to fight Bai Xiaosheng.
“Taoist Priest, stop these people, I’ll help Brother Bai. ” Pei Xuanjing slashed out with a sword, repelling the first-grade expert who wanted to entangle him.
Then, without pursuing him, he handed him over to Yu Zhenzi to deal with, and joined the battle group.
Without a doubt, these two were twin brothers who had spent many years together. Naturally, they were in perfect synergy, and the strength they displayed far exceeded the ordinary.
Originally, Wei Qianli was on par with Bai Xiaosheng and hardly differentiated the victory or defeat. It was just because of Bai Xiaosheng’s mysterious body movement and the preemptive strikes of Plum Blossom Divination that made him momentarily unprofitable.
Now that the two of them teamed up, Bai Xiaosheng was momentarily at a disadvantage.
Pei Xuanjing swept his sword across, his sword intent flaring, without any concealment, and directly forced Wei Qianli back.
Clang!
Shenxiao Sword collided with the dagger in Wei Qianli’s hand, making a deafening clanging sound and echoing for miles.
The force erupted from Pei Xuanjing’s sword exceeded Wei Qianli’s expectations. The enormous power made his palm crack and his arm numb, nearly making him drop his dagger.
With Pei Xuanjing attacking with his sword and Bai Xiaosheng coordinating their attacks, the situation reversed in no time, indicating that the two of them were gradually losing.
“Wei Qianli, you bastard, don’t tell me you really want to die here?” Wei Wanli’s furious voice echoed in Wei Qianli’s ear.
Cursed by his brother’s words, he looked at the fierce Pei Xuanjing and Qingxu Taoist, who was dealing with the four first-grade experts and still had the energy to focus his attention here.
We Qianli’s rage was temporarily suppressed. He knew there was no chance of killing Bai Xiaosheng today, he cast a resentful glance at him and signaled for Wei Wanli to leave.
“Find an opportunity to retreat, ” he said to Wei Wanli.
“Alright.”
Wei Wanli agreed.
The two coordinated well and made a seemingly ruthless move, which was in fact just a feint.
Seeing Pei Xuanjing and Bai Xiaosheng dodge, they withdrew and yelled simultaneously at the four in the distance: “Retreat!”
Naturally, Pei Xuanjing wouldn’t let them leave so easily.. He chased with his sword raised: “Thinking of running? Not so easy!”
