Chapter 391: Deception
Duan Qing stared at the short and thin man's back, pondered for a moment, and then followed him.
The short and thin man led Duan Qing all the way north, walked about one or two miles, and came to a relatively remote place.
"Daoyou's two companions are inside!" The short and thin man pointed to a dilapidated house in front of him.
After that, he took the lead in pushing open the door and walked in.
Duan Qing frowned slightly, as if thinking about something, but still followed the short and thin man.
Walking into the house, the eyes saw a dilapidated color. The bluestone slabs on the ground were covered with moss, and many weeds grew from the cracks in the slabs. It didn't look like anyone lived there at all.
Just as Duan Qing stepped into the house and saw what the house looked like, he saw the short and thin man suddenly attack, and like lightning, he sacrificed two fist-sized black iron balls, which hit Duan Qing from bottom to top in two ways, one directly hit Duan Qing's lower body, and the other hit Duan Qing's face.
The iron ball was extremely fast, and it hit Duan Qing's body almost instantly, making two consecutive muffled sounds, knocking Duan Qing out, knocking down the courtyard gate, and finally being stopped by a transparent light curtain that appeared at some unknown time behind the courtyard gate, and the whole person was buried by the collapsed courtyard gate.
After a successful attack, the short and thin man did not look proud at all, but looked at the ruins at the gate of the courtyard with a suspicious look.
His magic weapon, the Sky-blasting Ball, was extremely powerful. It was said that if it hit a person's face, it would definitely end up with a broken brain and death. How could it knock a person out like this!
Something is wrong!
After thinking about it, the short and thin man made another move, controlling two iron balls and smashing them at Duan Qing under the ruins.
However, before the iron balls approached the ruins, the ruins suddenly exploded. Duan Qing, wearing Suzaku armor and holding the Red Spirit Sword, jumped out of the ruins like a god of war, and the Red Spirit Sword in his hand heavily chopped the two iron balls.
With a slight sound, the two iron balls were split into four by the Red Spirit Sword, and the cut surface was extremely smooth.
After splitting the iron ball, the remaining force of the Red Spirit Sword did not decrease, and it directly chopped towards the short and thin man. In the short and thin man's horrified eyes, the Red Spirit Sword stopped steadily half an inch above his head.
The short and thin man looked up at the Red Spirit Sword above his head, and his eyes fell on Duan Qing again. He was extremely terrified, and his throat moved, as if he wanted to say something.
"You... are not in the early stage of the Questioning Heart Realm!!"
He just attacked him without any preparation. At such a close distance, how could he, who was just in the early stage of the Questioning Heart Realm, escape his sneak attack.
In his opinion, he either hid his cultivation or prepared in advance.
But he believed that from the time he met this person to the time he attacked him, he did not reveal a single flaw. How could this person prepare in advance?
Therefore, he concluded that this person must have hidden his cultivation and pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger!
Especially because he actually split his middle-grade magic weapon, the Sky-shattering Ball, in half with just one strike!
How could a mere early stage of the Questioning Heart Realm have such ability?
He would never believe it!
Duan Qing was not moved at all, and said expressionlessly: "My companion is in trouble, is that an excuse for you to trick me out?"
The short and thin man had a lonely look in his eyes and nodded silently.
As expected!
Duan Qing sighed in his heart.
In fact, when the short and thin man first said that Zuo Wanqiu and the others were in trouble, he did not doubt it.
But this journey made him suspicious of this man.
Imagine if Zuo Wanqiu and the others were really in trouble, why didn't he run when leading the way, but led him here.
This is the first.
Second, Zuo Wanqiu loves to be lively, which he knows very well. When he and Yu Fan go out for a stroll, they go to places where people gather. How could they come to such a remote place.
Therefore, when the short and thin man brought him to this rather remote house, he was already on guard against him.
How could he sneak attack successfully when he was already on guard, and be easily stopped by his Suzaku Armor?
"Why did you attack me?" Duan Qing's hand trembled, and the Red Spirit Sword slipped from his head, across his shoulder, and looked directly at the short and thin man.
Duan Qing's action made the short and thin man tremble. He glanced at the Red Spirit Sword in horror and said angrily: "I just can't stand you, a pretty boy!"
After that, he spit a mouthful of thick phlegm at Duan Qing.
As soon as the thick phlegm approached the Suzaku Armor, it was burned into a black smoke by the Suzaku Armor and dissipated into nothingness.
Duan Qing frowned, and was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He raised his sword and planned to cut him down.
At this moment, a yellow earth spike suddenly penetrated the stone slab and pierced out from under Duan Qing's feet.
Duan Qing saw this and immediately stopped his hand, retreated violently, and avoided the attack of the earth spike.
As soon as he moved, he saw several earth spikes around him, which came out from the ground at the same time and pierced him directly.
There was no place to hide, so Duan Qing simply didn't bother to hide anymore. He swept his sword horizontally on the spot, cutting off the half-emerged earth spikes in half. Several broken earth spikes finally stopped in front of Duan Qing, and none of them could reach him.
Duan Qing jumped back lightly and calmly jumped out of the earth spike circle. He looked indifferently at a young man who emerged from the ground under the feet of the short and thin man.
The young man was skinny, with deep eye sockets and cheeks. He was eight feet tall and stood next to the short and thin man. The contrast was huge.
"How come you can't even deal with a kid in the early stage of the Questioning Heart Realm? You have to call me out. That bitch is about to die!" The tall and thin man complained to the short and thin man.
"Be careful, this kid is a bit evil. It seems that he has hidden his cultivation. He broke my bombardment ball with one blow!" The short and thin man glanced at the two iron balls on the ground that were split into four, and his face showed heartache.
"Haha, it's true, this broken ball is the same as your pair of balls, it's broken!" The tall and thin man couldn't help laughing when he saw the wreckage of the bombardment ball on the ground.
The tall and thin man's words seemed to hit the short and thin man's sore spot, and he cursed at the tall and thin man directly: "Laugh at your ancestors, believe it or not, I will cut off your pair!"
"Hahaha! You even cursed your own ancestors!" The tall and thin man laughed even more happily.
The short and thin man's face was extremely gloomy, and he was about to explode.
Seeing this, the tall and thin man quickly restrained his smile and looked at Duan Qing and said seriously: "Deal with this kid first!"
After that, he immediately took out two spikes and made an attacking posture.
"Be careful not to fight him head-on, the flying sword in this kid's hand seems to be a spiritual treasure!" The short and thin man reminded.
He saw that the flying sword of this kid could split his middle-grade magic weapon, the Sky-blasting Ball, into two. If it wasn't a spiritual treasure, what else could it be!
Hearing the sound, the tall and thin man couldn't help but look at the Red Spirit Sword in Duan Qing's hand, and greed appeared in his eyes.
Duan Qing looked at the two of them expressionlessly, letting them talk without any action.
He didn't take them seriously, just two people in the middle stage of the Questioning Heart Realm.
He wanted to see what tricks these two could come up with.
"Haha, Lingbao! There is such a great opportunity!" The tall and thin man said with shining eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to swing the two spears in his hands towards Duan Qing.
