Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 86 Who doesn’t have outstanding acting skills?

Seeing the sudden movement, Shen Ping'an narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the teacup on the table and started to sip it.

A man used his light Kung Fu to quickly rush into the courtyard.

The man looked to be in his early thirties and had a handsome appearance.

The fluctuation of true energy in the body has already reached the first level of the innate realm.

It was Song Qingshu, the only son of Song Yuanqiao and the head of the third generation of Wudang disciples.

After entering the villa, Song Qingshu glanced around the villa anxiously, then looked at a house with lights on and closed doors.

"Master, this is bad."

Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng turned his head and looked at Shen Pingan meaningfully, then floated up.

A powerful force burst out from Zhang Sanfeng's body, blowing the door open and blowing the person outside away, making it impossible for him to see the situation inside the room clearly.

Landing in the courtyard, Zhang Sanfeng looked at Song Yuanqiao's son, Song Qingshu, and asked, "What's going on?"

Song Qingshu quickly spoke up, "Just now, when Seventh Uncle returned to the mountain, he found Uncle Mu, seriously injured and unconscious from poisoning, on the mountainside. However, Uncle Mu's injuries were too severe. Father, Sixth Uncle, and Seventh Uncle were unable to suppress the poison in Uncle Mu's body, so they asked me to ask for help from Grand Master."

At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly heard Shen Ping'an's true qi transmission in his ears.

However, he told Zhang Sanfeng the symptoms when the Nine Flowers and Seven Poisons' foul fumes took effect.

As the sound in his ears faded away, Zhang Sanfeng's face showed anxiety in due time.

"Where are they?"

"It's in the side hall of Tianjun Peak."

After confirming the location, Zhang Sanfeng put one hand on Song Qingshu's shoulder, lifted Song Qingshu up and flew towards the side hall like a wild goose.

It was only after the two of them left that Shen Pingan and his companions reached the door.

Shen Qingfeng asked, "Cousin, could it be that Senior Brother Qingshu was the one who poisoned me?"

Shen Pingan said slowly: "Won't it be clear after we take a look?"

Although Song Qingshu's heartbeat quickened just now, the anxiety in his tone did not seem to be fake.

But who among those who do bad things doesn’t have some extraordinary acting skills?

If it were so easy to tell whether a person is good or bad, there wouldn't be so many people being deceived.

Then, Shen Ping'an turned his head and looked at Yu Daying who was lying on a bamboo chair in the house, unable to move.

"Please, Master Yu, stay in this room for a while."

Hearing Shen Ping'an's words, Yu Daying, who was concerned about Zhang Sanfeng, said quickly: "What can a useless person like me do? It's better for Master Shen to go to the master."

Shen Ping'an nodded slightly, then raised his long sleeves and waved at the few people.

Some powder also flew towards a few people, and at the same time, he said: "Take a deep breath."

Although they didn't understand what Shen Ping'an meant, after hearing Shen Ping'an's words, not to mention Qu Feiyan and the others, even Yan Shisan took a deep breath as Shen Ping'an said.

"Sir, what is this?"

"Heart-eating powder is a type of poison. After being poisoned, the toxin will gradually sink into the dantian. The toxin will begin to corrode the warrior's dantian and then turn the warrior's true qi into a heart-eating poison."

Hearing the effects of the poison, Shen Qingshan was stunned and asked, "Why would you poison us for no reason, my cousin?"

Shen Pingan said calmly, "Although it is a poison, it depends on how it is used. It takes three days for the Heart-Eating Powder to take effect, but after the poison enters the body, it can mask the warrior's own true qi and internal energy."

"After all, we don't know the other party's identity and cultivation level. If we go over like this, we'll be discovered before we even get close."

After he finished speaking, he also moved towards the side hall under the guidance of Shen Qingfeng.

Half a minute later, led by Shen Pingan, several people quietly reached the roof of the side hall.

After Qu Feiyan slowly moved a few tiles off the roof, several people saw what was happening inside the side hall.

In the side hall, Zhang Sanfeng was sitting cross-legged behind Mu Dao Ren at this moment, with his palms against Mu Dao Ren's back, and the true energy in his body was constantly surging.

Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Songxi, Mo Shenggu and Song Qingshu stood on one side.

From the perspective of Shen Pingan and the others at this moment, there were actually two people hiding behind the statue of the Three Pure Ones in this side hall.

Both of them were wearing long, black robes and masks with swirling patterns on their faces, making it impossible to see their true appearance.

"Got it!"

His eyes fell on the two of them, and a playful arc appeared on the corner of Shen Ping'an's mouth.

In the side hall.

As the true energy in his body surged, Mu Dao Ren, who was originally unconscious, suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.

However, this blood was not as bright red or dark red as normal blood, but rather dark purple.

And there were wisps of black smoke rising from the blood.

And at the moment when Mu Dao Ren vomited the blood, Song Yuanqiao and others in the side hall smelled a fishy odor.

After vomiting out this mouthful of poisonous blood, Mu Dao Ren, who had just fallen into a coma, also woke up slowly.

But the moment he woke up, Mu Dao Ren quickly raised his head. It was not until his eyes met Song Yuanqiao and the others that he relaxed and coughed a few times.

As Mu Dao Ren woke up, Zhang Sanfeng withdrew his hands, stood up, and reached out to help Mu Dao Ren up.

But out of the corner of his eye, he unconsciously glanced at the statue of the Three Pure Ones beside him.

"Brother Mu, who injured you?"

After Mu Dao Ren stood up, the youngest Mo Shenggu spoke first.

In response to Mo Shenggu's question, Mu Dao Ren said with a serious face, "They are two people wearing masks."

Perhaps he hadn't recovered yet, after saying this, Taoist Mu took a few breaths. After recovering a little, he continued, "These two have extremely high cultivation bases. One is at the eighth level of the Tiangang Realm, and the other is at the ninth level."

Song Yuanqiao asked, "Although Senior Brother Mu's cultivation is only at the seventh level of the Tiangang Realm, he has comprehended the sword intent and his strength is no less than that of a warrior at the ninth level of the Tiangang Realm. Even if he fights one against two, can he not escape?"

Taoist Mu said in a hoarse voice, "These two are extremely powerful. The ninth-level Tiangang Realm warrior uses a dagger, but he has also comprehended the realm of mind. The other one must have practiced a special martial art that relies on mental power. The two of them work together very well. Not to mention me, I'm afraid that a warrior of the first level of the Tianren Realm may not be a match for the two of them combined."

Hearing what Taoist Mu said, Song Yuanqiao and the others felt a chill in their hearts.

Song Yuanqiao frowned and asked, "Why would these two people attack Senior Brother Mu for no reason?"

Taoist Mu shook his head. "I have no idea about that. I've never seen the martial arts these two used before, and we probably haven't met before. I don't know why they ambushed me."

As he spoke, Mu Dao Ren coughed twice again.

At this moment, two figures suddenly jumped out from behind the Three Pure Ones statue.

"careful!"

As if sensing something unusual, Mu Dao Ren exclaimed as the true energy in his body surged.

But at the moment when Mu Dao Ren's voice came out, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly flashed in front of Mu Dao Ren, and the true energy in his body surged, turning into terrifying energy and venting out in front of him.

Zhang Sanfeng is recognized as the number one warrior in the Ming Dynasty. His cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Man Realm. How can ordinary people understand his strength?
Even though he was deliberately holding back, the two masked men felt a terrifying surge of energy coming at them like a tidal wave, instantly crushing their protective energy and crashing into them.

In an instant, the two men flew backwards at a rapid speed, smashing a statue respectively and then hitting the wall, making two muffled groans.

"boom!"

After repelling the two men, Zhang Sanfeng's true energy calmed down a little. When he was about to speak, a palm suddenly fell on his back.

The person who struck out with the palm was none other than Mu Dao Ren, the Taoist priest who had just spoken out to remind Zhang Sanfeng and the others.

Caught off guard, even Zhang Sanfeng was hit by Mu Dao Ren's palm and staggered forward a few steps, with blood immediately flowing from the corner of his mouth.

While mobilizing the true energy in his body, Zhang Sanfeng quickly turned his head.

But Mu Dao Ren, who had been prepared, suddenly retreated three feet away the moment his attack succeeded.

He was attacking the two masked men who had just been injured by Zhang Sanfeng from the front and back.

It was also at this time that Zhang Sanfeng frowned, spat out blood again, and the true energy in his body fluctuated.

It was not until he raised his hand and tapped several major acupoints on his chest that he was able to stabilize the true energy in his body.

On the rooftop, looking at the blood at the corner of Zhang Sanfeng's mouth and his slightly red face, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but transmit his true Qi: "Young Master, Master Zhang's acting is quite convincing. The injuries and poisoning are really convincing."

In response to Qu Feiyan's words, Shen Pingan used the same true Qi to transmit his voice: "The poisoning was fake, but Master Zhang's injury is not fake."

"Ah? Are you really injured?"

Hearing Shen Ping'an's reply, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but look at Shen Ping'an in surprise.

Shen Pingan replied, "Those two people in the Three Pure Ones statues were used as a deception from the very beginning. Their purpose was to make Master Zhang let down his guard against Master Mu, so that Master Mu could launch a sneak attack."

"If I'm not mistaken, the poisonous smoke from the mouthful of blood that Taoist Mu just spat out should contain the last ingredient of the Nine Flowers and Seven Poisons Corruption Powder."

As he spoke, Shen Pingan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As the saying goes, no matter how careful you are, you can never prevent a thief from within your own home.

It is difficult to guard against thieves within the family, not because thieves within the family are so smart that they can hide their true intentions from the public.

It’s because people tend not to set up too many defenses against people they truly trust.

After all, human hearts are made of flesh.

Even a dog will develop feelings if it stays with you for a long time, let alone a human.

When dealing with people you spend every day with, over time, as trust increases, your vigilance will naturally decrease.

Unless someone is like Zhu Wusi, who is naturally suspicious and doesn't trust anyone, it is unlikely for him to make such a mistake.

Otherwise, even Zhang Sanfeng or Shen Pingan himself would not be able to be on guard against the people around them all day long.

And the other party really played this psychological trick well.

Under normal circumstances, with Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation and reaction, Mu Dao Ren would have no chance to attack him.

As long as Mu Dao Ren uses his true energy, Zhang Sanfeng will be able to react immediately.

However, Taoist Mu took advantage of the two masked Tiangang realm warriors to deliberately mobilize his true energy in advance under the pretext of being on guard.

A series of details were linked together, which eventually led Zhang Sanfeng to let down his guard against Mu Dao Ren and created an opportunity to take advantage of him.
