Xiao Jinglin was stunned. He raised his sword and wanted to chase after him, but Pei Zhao stretched out his hand to hold him back. "Young master, let him go."

"Uncle Pei!"

Pei Zhao said, "If the person who can pin Vein Dragon is really a quail who needs protection at every turn, I would be suspicious."

Xiao Jinglin frowned, "But now that he's gone..."

"Don't worry, he will definitely promise. After all, it was endorsed by Elder Jian, so he won't joke about this kind of thing."

"I'm not afraid that he will run away."

Xiao Jinglin stared at the direction Deng Qing left, "I'm worried that he will be in danger on the way."

Pei Zhao said, "His blood has been collected. If there is any accident, we are not without options. What's more, Huo Dongfeng was wiped out by him, so there is no need to worry about such a strong man."

After saying that, Pei Zhao vibrated the long sword in his hand, facing Two-Petal Qi Beast that rushed from the side, and killed it.

As soon as I entered Dense Forest, Deng Qing, I let go.

Wherever the noise was loudest, he would go there.

After just rounding a few big trees, a Gray-Skinned Qi Beast pounced out. The Qi Beast had tall shoulders and back, two forelimbs thick and long, almost as long as half of the body, and a flap on its forehead.

Deng Qing went up to it, grabbed its protruding forelimbs, and used Phoenix Swaps the Nest's move. The huge beast body of Qi Beast was flipped over by him and crashed to the ground.

Before Qi Beast struggled to get up, Deng Qing punched Qi Petal in the middle.

As Qi Petal fell off, the beast's body quickly vaporized. Deng Qing picked up Qi Petal and stuffed it into Waist Pouch on the left side. He glanced at his thin fist and couldn't help but feel proud. It was easier than expected. Elephant-Throwing Method, which was close to the level of Perfected Mastery, was completely different from the past in terms of power.

While Deng Qing was sighing, three more Qi Beast came rushing in front of him. If he looked carefully, they all had one petal.

Deng Qing rotated its foot, urging Collapse Step, and went straight to the front end Qi Beast.

That Qi Beast suddenly opened his mouth, and a ball of flame spurted out.

Deng Qing slid along the side of the fire ball, tiptoed, jumped on the beast's back, leaned down and punched it.

Qi Petal fell off in response.

As soon as he copied Qi Petal in his hand, red light rushed to his back and he received a heavy blow.

Bang!

The giant claw of the other Qi Beast hit his shoulder and back, sending him flying and crashing into the grass.

Deng Qing was lying on the ground, groaning and groaning. He stretched his hands twice but couldn't get up.

The Qi Beast immediately chased after him and stabbed his two fangs straight into his back.

Deng Qing suddenly dodged to the side, grabbed the fangs, and pressed down with both arms.

The Qi Beast's forelimbs bent, and its head was pushed into the mud.

Deng Qing let go of one hand, punched it in the forehead, and stopped struggling.

He accepted Qi Petal and just turned around when the third Qi Beast roared at him twice, turned around and went into the forest.

"Still want to leave?"

Deng Qing urged Collapse Step, and several of them swayed to catch up, then jumped onto the beast's back.

He was about to punch, but suddenly stopped.

Instead of searching everywhere by yourself, why not ask this guy to lead the way.

At that moment, he held the beast's back with one hand and let Qi Beast run.

Sure enough, this thing seemed to be in a panic, but it always ran in one direction.

Even after several swings, it failed to throw Deng Qing off, so it simply stopped struggling and carried him all the way.

Not long after, a Mountain Hollow appeared in front.

Deng Qing raised his eyes and felt refreshed.

Hundreds of Qi Beast were scattered all over Mountain Hollow, some bowed their heads to the ground, some were rummaging among the rocks, and they were fighting over something in several places.

A strong fishy smell hit my face.

Torn pieces of cloth were scattered on the ground, and several pieces of dark red organs were hanging on broken branches, being fought over by several Qi Beasts.

This is actually the landing point for the airborne Offal.

Deng Qing Observe carefully, there are only three Two-Petal Qi Beast in the audience.

Just as he was thinking about it, Qi Beast underneath him was still going forward, but Deng Qing had already punched Qi Petal on its forehead.

He grabbed the fallen Qi Petal, and while the beast's body was still intact, he kicked his back and pounced directly towards the densest place of Qi Beast.

Several Qi Beasts that were originally fighting for food were startled and all turned their heads.

Deng Qing has already grabbed the front limbs of Qi Beast and flipped it out.

With a bang, it hit the two rear ends Qi Beast.

Suddenly, roars broke out.

The heads Qi Beast were enraged and rushed towards them from all directions.

Deng Qing urged Blood Baleful Intent, with blood all over his body, and he rushed towards the herd of beasts.

He swung his feet and opened and closed his arms. Qi Beast in front of him would inevitably flip over and fall to the ground as long as his limbs were held by him.

Some of them had not yet fallen down, but they had already been picked up by him and smashed towards his companions who were rushing towards them.

Elephant Hurls, Mountain Crumbles!

Qi Beast, who collided head-on, was smashed into a ball, and Deng Qing followed up with a series of heavy punches.

His thinking is very clear.

We have to fight anyway, so why not use it to practice?

In the forest, I practiced hard while holding huge rocks. Now these Qi Beast have weight, can struggle, and can fight back. Wouldn't it be better to practice?

What's more, after practicing, you will still get Qi Petal.

Deng Qing becomes smoother and smoother as it fights, treating these Qi Beast as moving boulders, grabbing, overturning, picking up, throwing, and performing various changes in Elephant-Throwing Method one after another.

Blood Baleful Intent blocked many attacks for him, but he refused to stand and take the beatings. He always used his footwork to move around and kill Qi Beast who rushed towards him one by one.

Inside Mountain Hollow, there was a continuous sound of collisions.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

Deng Qing was lying on his back, his chest heaving violently, and he didn't even want to move his fingers.

There is no Qi Beast around.

He had killed half of those who had gathered here, and the rest had fled. The ground was covered with upturned soil and broken trees.

Deng Qing took a breath, brought up the panel, and looked directly at the Elephant-Throwing Method column.

[Elephant-Throwing Method:78%(Grand Mastery)]

It has risen again.

This whole fight was indeed not in vain.

He reached into the Waist Pouch on the left side, fished it out casually, and grabbed a handful of Qi Petal.

Deng Qing grinned, put Qi Petal back, patted Waist Pouch, and became more and more satisfied.

After resting for a while, he sat up with his hands on the ground.

There is also Wasteland Blood in Dantian, but he is reluctant to use it at the moment.

I don't know what I will encounter next, so I can save a little bit.

When his strength recovered slightly, Deng Qing stood up and continued walking towards the depths of Canyon.

The direction is easy to identify. Wherever the Azure Qi is thicker, just go there.

Later, he didn't even need to look, and could tell where to go just by the strength of the warm current coming from under his feet.

Deng Qing climbed over a hill, and another Mountain Hollow appeared ahead.

Once here, the roars of the beasts became sparse, and only faint sounds of fighting could be heard from the southeast.

He followed the sound and rushed there.

When he got close, Deng Qing slowed down and was waiting to use the cover of the trees to take a look inside. His back suddenly tensed slightly, and he realized that someone was peeping at him.

Deng Qing looked up and saw a person climbing on a tall tree more than ten feet to the southeast, staring down at him.

Just when he was about to speak, he noticed another look from elsewhere.

Deng Qing turned around and scanned around, only to find that there were people on several tall trees nearby.

Not only in the trees, there are several Northern Side hidden in the grass slopes, and there are two sitting on the big rocks to the east.

Deng Qing understood immediately.

It didn't hit Beast Tide, but crashed into the crowd first.

He no longer covered up and walked forward openly.

After bypassing several big trees, you can have a panoramic view of the situation inside Mountain Hollow.

There are people everywhere.

Some were resting against stones or sitting cross-legged on the spot, while others were pouring supplements from medicine bottles and stuffing them into their mouths.

There was only a small group of people in the front, surrounding a dozen Qi Beast, fighting with swords and swords in a lively manner.

Those Qi Beast were blocked and bumped around, but they could never get out.

Deng Qing shook his head.

There are more people in this place than Qi Beast. It is obviously unrealistic to try to make another fortune in the surrounding area.

He was about to go around when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Brother Deng, hello!"

Deng Qing turned around, saw Song Que and smiled.

Somehow, I felt a bit of kindness like meeting an old friend in a foreign country.

Song Que walked over quickly, followed by another person, it was Chen Kong.

After not seeing each other for many days, Song Que has obviously lost weight, the contours of his face have become more distinct, and the sleeves of his robe are torn and rolled up to his elbows.

But when he smiled, he still looked familiar.

Chen Kong was stronger than before. He walked towards him with a sword in hand, his steps were steady, and his aura was much more condensed.

Deng Qing still remembers that when they first met, Chen Kong gave him quite a sense of oppression, but now that he looks back, that feeling is gone.

He quickly handed over his hand, "Chen Senior Brother, Brother Song, I didn't expect to meet you here. I haven't been here for a long time, but I have encountered a lot of things. If you think about it carefully, it feels like I haven't seen you for years."

Song Que returned the favor with a smile, but did not rush to speak. Instead, he walked around Deng Qing and muttered, "It must be my brother Deng."

How long have we not seen each other? Why do I feel that your aura is more powerful than mine, Chen Senior Brother?"

Deng Qing waved his hand, "Where, where, Brother Song deserves the award."

Chen Kong was also observing Deng Qing, and shook his head after hearing this, "Junior Brother Deng, there's no need to be polite. I'm still spinning around at Bone-Forging First Layer, and I'm still far away from the second level.

On the other hand, you should have broken into Bone-Forging First Layer, right? Looking at this aura, I'm afraid you're not far from the second level."

Deng Qing smiled and held his hands, "Thanks to my master and Senior Brother for protecting me, I was able to break through."

Chen Kong nodded and looked at Song Que, "Junior Brother Song, you have to work hard."

Song Que's face wrinkled into a rag, "I won't compete with Brother Deng. Anyone who uses him as a reference will be angry to death."

Let me tell you, you two, when we meet again after a long separation, we are still on this battlefield, can't we talk about some happy topics?"

Chen Kong raised a hand, "Yes, I would like to hear what happy topics you have."

Song Que became energetic, pulled Deng Qing, and sat down on a flat stone next to him, "Brother Deng, you went to the martial arts test Deployment Office, whether you say it is good or not, it is not good."

Deng Qing smiled and said, "How do you say this?"

"Of course the advantage is that there are fewer dangers, but the disadvantage is also obvious. You missed the opportunity."

Song Que patted his chest, "In this Front Line battle, the reward given by the superiors is very heavy. I have made many meritorious deeds, and in the past two days, I finally caught Court Gentleman for Rendering Service's Honorary Merit Rank."

When he said this, he stopped and looked at Deng Qing with a look on his face that said, "This should be praised."

Deng Qing handed over his hand knowingly, "Congratulations to Brother Song."

Song Que beamed, "This is Honorary Merit Rank second only to Feathered Forest Guard. If nothing else, it's worth it just to save my family Corvée."

The more he talked, the happier he became, "I think this time when I go back to the county, let's see who dares not to praise me. Besides, Golden Saber Sect is sure that no one dares to say that I owe everything to my uncle to be where I am today..."

Deng Qing was speechless for a while.

The so-called happy topic is listening to this guy show off.

He looked towards Chen Kong. Chen Kong was shaking his head and smiling bitterly. He was obviously numb.

Song Que spoke more and more vigorously. Finally, he reached into his collar and pulled out a pendant.

The pendant was made of iron, shaped into a crouching kitten, and its back was polished until it shined.

Song Que held it in his hand and looked at it over and over again. The smile on his face couldn't be suppressed at all.

"This is it. It's already dripped with blood. It's useless for others to take it."

As he spoke, he simply took off the pendant rope from around his neck and handed it to Deng Qing, "Here, take a look too."

Deng Qing just stretched out his hand, Song Que was suddenly stunned. His eyes fell on Deng Qing's collar, staring at the length of the pendant rope exposed there, his eyes gradually widened, "You... why do you have it too?"

Song Que pointed at Deng Qing's chest, and his voice was a little higher, "Didn't you go to be Inspector? How come Inspector also got a prize?"

Chen Kong coughed.

Song Que then realized that what he said was not very decent, and he smiled and said, "That's not what I meant, it's just..."

"I know."

Deng Qing waved his hand, "I was just fooling around. I was lucky enough to get Honorary Merit Rank."

Song Que opened his mouth and suddenly slapped his forehead, "I knew it, I deserved it, talking about this in front of you."

With that said, he hung the pendant back up and muttered, "I can eat a hundred beans without feeling fishy."

Chen Kong finally couldn't help laughing.

Deng Qing also smiled and said, "Brother Song, why should you take it seriously? It's just Honorary Merit Rank."

"Listen, is this human language?"

Song Que snorted, "Brother Deng, why don't you get the advantage and behave well. I know, you must have got Honorary Merit Rank of Feathered Forest Guard."

Speaking of Feathered Forest Guard, his eyes became a little more curious, and his eyes wandered around Deng Qing's neck, "To be honest, I haven't seen Feathered Forest Guard's Honorary Merit Rank pendant. Bring it to me quickly."

Deng Qing waved his hand, "It's not necessary, it's just a pendant, nothing interesting to see."

Song Que raised his eyebrows, "You said Brother Deng was fat and now he's out of breath? Why are you looking down on others?"

"What a mouth you have."

Deng Qing had no choice but to untie the pendant and handed over the jade pendant.

Song Que took it in his hand, and after taking a look at it, he felt a little confused.

What he got was a dog-shaped jade pendant. The jade was warm and moist, very different from his iron cat.

"This Feathered Forest Guard and Honorary Merit Rank pendant is different from the legendary one. Why does it have this shape?"

He turned it over and over again. Just as he was about to ask Deng Qing what Honorary Merit Rank was holding, he suddenly heard a sound of inhalation coming from the side.

Chen Kong had already come closer, and his eyes were wide open, staring at the jade pendant in Song Que's hand.

Song Que Qidao, "Chen Senior Brother, do you recognize him?"

Chen Kong said in a daze, "This is... Jade Dog Pendant of Eighth-Rank Commandant."

"Ah yo!"

Song Que fell down when he raised his head.

Fortunately, his lower body was relatively stable. He exerted force in his waist and abdomen and stopped his backward movement. He didn't fall onto his back, but he still sat on the ground.

He held the jade pendant in one hand and pointed at Deng Qing with the other, "You, you..."

He didn't say a single word for a while.

Deng Qing stretched out his hand to pull him, but Song Que waved his hand, "I don't dare to trouble Eighth-Rank Commandant, please allow me to slow down."

Chen Kong cupped his hands and said, "No wonder Junior Brother Song was shocked, Junior Brother Deng, your master is also Ninth-Rank Commandant, you have become the eighth grade, it is simply a strange news."

Deng Qing said, "The opportunity is good, I have made some contributions."

Chen Kong shook his head, "Junior Brother Deng, you are too polite. If you come from a wealthy family, I wouldn't be surprised if you get such a Honorary Merit Rank with a little merit. But I can only imagine how difficult it is for you to get this jade pendant from a humble background."

As he spoke, Chen Kong's mind started to change.

Previously Deng Qing said that his breakthrough was all due to Master and Senior Brother protector, but he really believed it.

Now it seems that Junior Brother Deng probably has a lot more things that he has not said yet.

Song Que finally got up from the ground, patted the dust on his butt, held the jade pendant in both hands, and handed it over, "It's not convenient here. Find a place where no one is around later, and I'll give it to Senior Brother Deng."

Deng Qing dumbfounded.

"I, Senior Brother Deng, am really, really awesome."

Song Que gives a thumbs up.

Deng Qing took the jade pendant and hung it back around his neck, "I said it's a good chance. How can I be better than my master? Don't look at me like that."

Chen Kong smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. If we continue talking, it will be my turn to get hurt."

The three of them looked at each other and laughed.

Just as he was looking for another place to sit down, a man hurried over, still a few feet away, and shouted loudly, "Chen Senior Brother, Song Senior Brother, hurry up and take a look!"

Song Que turned around, "What's wrong?"

The visitor rushed forward, his face flushed, "Those brats in Fucheng are bullying us Dongting County, no one is bullying us!"

We finally surrounded a few Qi Beasts and killed them for a while. Just when we were about to succeed, they suddenly intervened and intercepted them. Three Qi Petals were snatched away by them."

Song Que's smile suddenly disappeared, "Who took the lead?"

"The same few people took the thing and said that it was them who killed it, so it should naturally belong to them. Our people refused to give in and were in a stalemate.

Chen Senior Brother, Song Senior Brother, you two should hurry up."

Before Chen Kong could say anything, Song Que had already started scolding, "The gang of grandsons in Fucheng are so arrogant. They want to be the first in everything and take advantage of everything. They really don't regard people from our place as human beings!"

He pressed the hilt of the sword and followed the messenger.

Chen Kong looked at Deng Qing, "People from our place should stick together, otherwise we will be bullied to death by them. Junior Brother Deng, come over and take a look together?"

Deng Qing did not want to get involved in this dispute.

However, he and Chen Kong and Song Que have gone on missions and fought side by side. Now that we have reunited after a long separation, we have a good relationship.

In addition, Song Que was asked to help with identity documents last time, and he helped out. If something happened at this time, he naturally couldn't shirk it.

He nodded immediately, "Then go and have a look."

Song Que was refreshed, and the person who reported the message raised his chin and said, "Lead the way."

At that moment, the three of them followed the man and rushed east.

When Deng Qing and his party arrived, more than 20 people were divided into two groups and faced off in a forest clearing.

There were people on both sides carrying swords and quarreling endlessly, and no one was willing to give in.

Seeing Chen Kong and others approaching, Dongting County immediately moved out of the way.

A yellow-faced young man opposite looked sideways and sneered, "Hey, if you can't win, here's a helper. Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Chen Kong Senior Brother from the Golden Saber Sect."

As he said that, he raised his chin and said, "Why, do you want to take action?"

This person's name is Wei Tong, and he is fairly well-known in Yanshan Prefecture City. He has never looked down upon Martial Artist from various counties. The people gathered behind him are also people from Yanshan Prefecture City.

At present, there is a scuffle everywhere, and the original team is often scattered. It is normal for them to go together when they meet fellow villagers.

Chen Kong walked to the front, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Wei, you are exaggerating when you talk about taking action. But regardless of the merits, we have to discuss it first."

Wei Tong sneered, "Of course we have to discuss the rights and wrongs. But everyone hunts Qi Beast according to their own abilities. You are not as good as others. I really don't know what you are talking about."

"Fart!"

Dongting County Over here, someone immediately cursed, "We have been surrounding you for a long time and you were hiding there, not moving, and only rushed out when you were about to succeed. Is this called skill?"

"When Qi Beast was so fierce earlier, why didn't you guys come up?"

Wei Tong There were also people behind him who retorted.

"You can't kill me even after killing me for a long time. How dare you say that?"

"Qi Beast didn't engrave your names. Whoever killed Qi Petal will belong to him. Is it possible that I still asked you?"
