Chapter 68: The fatal blow
Crack...
A crisp cracking sound rang out, and Chen Xiao frowned suddenly. Then he gritted his teeth, ignored the cracking sound, and increased the speed of the Qi again.
Finally, under Chen Xiao's deliberate control, a large amount of Qi slowly rotated in the newly opened Jingmen acupoint at a very fast speed.
These gradually formed Qi vortices began to drive other Qi in Chen Xiao's body little by little, gradually forming a stable Qi cyclone.
Seeing the vortex slowly stabilize and begin to repair the wounds of the damaged meridians around the Jingmen acupoint, Chen Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xiao almost failed just now, and fortunately Chen Xiao's ability to control Qi has reached the subtle level, otherwise this time it would be troublesome.
Almost at the same time when the cyclone condensed, all the Qi in Chen Xiao's body was instantly connected to the Jingmen acupoint!
In an instant, a stable and mysterious convection relationship was formed between the five internal organs and the ten cyclones.
The huge amount of true energy began to nourish Chen Xiao's body.
His cultivation successfully broke through to the realm of a general!
At the same time, the footsteps in the room also slowly approached the room where Chen Xiao was from the hall next door.
His eyes slowly opened.
Even though the lights in the room were dim at this moment, Chen Xiao's eyes were still bright. At a glance, he could see the furnishings in the entire room.
However, the first thing that entered Chen Xiao's eyelids was not something else, but a foot!
Obviously, someone has come to Chen Xiao's side!
Swish!
A cold light flashed, and a long sword suddenly appeared in Chen Xiao's hand, instantly cutting the throat of the person approaching.
Then, without slowing down, he immediately rushed towards the other people in the room.
At the moment of action, Chen Xiao calculated that there were a total of three people entering the room. In addition to the martial arts apprentice who had just been killed, there were two martial arts apprentices in the room, and outside the room, there were many footsteps.
The two martial arts apprentices originally thought that there would be no one in the room, just checking casually.
But he didn't expect that the murderer actually appeared, and killed one person in an instant.
With Chen Xiao's current martial arts realm, coupled with the sudden attack, the two men fell in a pool of blood before they even reacted.
After killing the two, Chen Xiao did not waste time to absorb their cultivation. He jumped out of the window on the other side of the room, and in a few flashes, he entered an archway and disappeared.
At the moment when Chen Xiao disappeared, a group of people heard the movement in the house and rushed in quickly.
However, apart from the three corpses, where can we see any trace of Chen Xiao?
"The murderer just fled to the middle courtyard, go chase him!" A low shout sounded, and a group of people immediately went back from the original route and rushed towards the middle courtyard.
And the person who gave the order jumped out of the window in a hurry, followed Chen Xiao's escape route, and quickly chased him.
A closer look showed that this person was a nine-star martial artist!
Outside the courtyard, there was a lot of noise, and the people of the Zhao family had no way to immediately organize people to besiege the Chen family.
After all, there was a gangster in their family who was killing people everywhere. If this person was not caught, the entire Zhao family would be worried about sleeping and eating.
With such a big thing happening, even those Zhao family disciples who had already fallen asleep were all called up at this time.
The women, women, and children all gathered in the courtyard outside the meeting hall to avoid being assassinated by Chen Xiao.
And those Zhao family disciples who had reached the level of five-star martial arts apprentices or above, as well as those family heads and elders, left the meeting hall. Except for a few people who stayed to protect the elderly, weak women and children, everyone else scattered throughout the Zhao family and began to search for Chen Xiao everywhere.
…
After leaving the house where he was originally, Chen Xiao originally planned to find a place to hide first, and then go directly to the vicinity of the hall to start assassinating those Zhao family direct descendants, but he did not expect that there was a team of people following him.
The leader was naturally the nine-star martial artist who rushed out first. Not far behind him, there were three five-star martial artists.
However, Chen Xiao's cultivation was much higher than theirs, and it was impossible to catch up with Chen Xiao.
But they didn't necessarily want to catch up with Chen Xiao, as long as they let others know where Chen Xiao was at the moment.
The nine-star martial artist's face became solemn after seeing Chen Xiao, because he found that he couldn't see through Chen Xiao's cultivation at all!
This meant that Chen Xiao's cultivation had at least reached the level of a general!
He couldn't possibly be a match for a general, so he was very smart not to use his skills to catch up directly, at least he stayed far behind Chen Xiao, and kept making noises to attract the attention of other people in the Zhao family.
Sure enough, less than a cup of tea later, a long whistle suddenly came from a distance.
Then, the leader of the Zhao family's guards, that is, the three-star general, quickly passed over the roof in the distance and approached this side at a very fast speed.
In terms of speed alone, this person was obviously slightly faster than Chen Xiao. It took only a moment for him to get behind Chen Xiao.
Seeing Chen Xiao in black, a cold light suddenly flashed in the leader's eyes, and the murderous aura on his body burst out instantly, and he shouted: "Where are you running, little thief, why don't you surrender!"
"Idiot!" Chen Xiao cursed silently in his heart, but his body suddenly accelerated and jumped directly into a courtyard and disappeared.
The leader's expression changed, and he also accelerated, directly passing the nine-star martial artist and jumping directly along the wall that Chen Xiao had climbed over.
However, just when he jumped into the air, a cold light suddenly rushed out from the wall and rushed straight to the leader's chest.
"You are looking for death!"
The leader of the Zhao family was extremely shocked and angry. He had never expected that Chen Xiao, who was not only escaping for his life, would dare to turn around and attack him actively. He was simply not knowing whether to live or die!
As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword in his hand also attacked at the same time, slashing towards the cold light.
He was confident that with his cultivation of the peak realm of three-star generals, even if this attack could not take down Chen Xiao, it could still cause some injuries to Chen Xiao.
As long as he could delay until the arrival of several elders of the Zhao family, then this man in black would definitely not be able to escape!
However, he had calculated everything, but he had never expected that this man in black, who seemed to have only a one-star martial arts realm, would burst out with even more terrifying power than him at this moment!
As a result, he was caught off guard and the long sword in his hand suddenly tilted to the side.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Xiao on the opposite side suddenly accelerated the long sword in his hand and slashed straight at the opponent's throat. As long as he stabbed, even a general would be killed instantly!
However, the leader of the Zhao family was a three-star general after all, and he had fought deep in the Dongyun Mountains. He had rich combat experience. When he judged that his long sword had deviated, he kicked the towering courtyard wall under his feet with his left foot.
With the recoil force of this kick, he suddenly reversed his body that was rushing towards Chen Xiao and retreated back to the way he came at a faster speed, barely avoiding Chen Xiao's fatal blow.
