The black-clothed man was able to gain the upper hand over Yan Huixin just now only because he had the advantage of true energy. The two were evenly matched in martial arts. Now with the joining of Pang Jun, the whole battle situation has undergone tremendous changes. Based on Pang Jun's battle record, the black-clothed man did not think that Pang Jun's martial arts were better than Yan Huixin or his own. But since he was able to make the Divine Concubine, who was superior to him in both martial arts and status, suffer a loss, it was obvious that this young Marquis of Changning was not an easy person to deal with.
The man in black said nothing and carefully drew out his weapon, the iron pen. He almost waited until Yan Huixin's soft sword reached him before he slashed it with one stroke. His speed was almost enough to leave a complete afterimage in the air. The soft sword had no way to avoid it and was hit hard by the sword. The two swords collided, sparking a string of sparks. Yan Huixin felt a trembling vibration on the sword and used her internal force to resist. At the same time, Pang Jun's palm attacked the man in black. The black-silver man could only give up the idea of pursuing the victory and slapped Pang Jun with his backhand.
With a "pa" sound, the two palms met and the two men took two steps back at the same time. At this time, Yan Huixin seized the opportunity, retracted her soft sword, and danced a ball of sword light, forming a light curtain. She let go of her hands and feet and attacked the man in black. The martial arts of the man in black were almost the same as Yan Huixin's. At this time, the man in black had just fought with Pang Jun with a palm, and his remaining strength had not been fully retracted. He didn't expect that Yan Huixin, who had just been shaken away by his internal force, would regroup and attack so quickly. He was not careful and was stabbed in the left shoulder by Yan Huixin's soft sword. With a "swish", blood gushed out like a spring. Pang Jun took advantage of the situation and took this opportunity to hit him on the right shoulder, which was another heavy blow.
The man in black was furious: "To think that I, the great Black Brocade Deer King, was defeated by two brats today, humph, even if I have to die here today, I will drag you two down with me!"
After the Black Brocade Deer King finished speaking, his fingers flew and tapped several acupuncture points on his body. His skin turned red and he stared at the two of them while breathing heavily. Yan Huixin's usually calm face couldn't help but change color at this time. She said to Pang Jun, "Not good, this man is going to use the evil Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique. He is practicing it now. Stop him quickly!"
Pang Jun also knew this kind of martial arts, but it had only been in legends and had never been used by anyone. After all, this kind of evil martial arts requires burning one's own life as the price. The greater the price, the stronger the improvement. When this skill is improved to the extreme, it is the time for this person to step into the grave. Therefore, Pang Jun hurriedly said: "Fairy Yan, this may not be stopped. When this kind of evil martial arts is in use, there will be a terrible force protecting him. With our strength, we may not be able to break it. When he finishes the exercise, we may not be his opponent. You leave first, and I will find a way to hold him back and wait for his demonic skill to dissipate."
Yan Huixin refused, "No, your martial arts skills are not as good as mine, and you are a high-ranking official in the court. You go first, or we go together."
"No, if we let him go like this, he will most likely return to Langzhou City and start a massacre," Pang Jun suddenly grabbed Yan Huixin's hand and said to her seriously, "Believe me, I have a way. You being here may distract me. Go back to Langzhou City first and wait for my news."
When Yan Huixin was grabbed by Pang Jun, a ripple appeared in her heart. She saw the confidence and determination in Pang Jun's eyes, so she nodded and said, "Then, I'll leave it to Marquis Changning." After that, she looked at Pang Jun deeply again, used her lightness skills to leave.
Seeing that Yan Huixin had gone far away, Pang Jun looked at the Black Brocade Deer King again, whose eyes were red and whose body had turned purple, and said to himself: "If it wasn't for achieving my goal, I wouldn't spare your life." As he spoke, he took out a medicine bottle from the medicine bag in his arms, stared at the Black Brocade Deer King in front of him, and kept backing away.
"Roar!!!!" When he retreated to more than ten feet away from the Black Deer King, he heard a roar. At this time, the Black Deer King's body was purple, his eyes were bloodshot, and he ran straight towards Pang Jun.
Seeing this, Pang Jun opened the cork, used his lightness skills and started running. Along the way, if someone observed carefully, they would find that some green smoke kept coming out of the bottle, which disappeared after floating in the air.
The two of them kept running in the wilderness, one in front and one behind. Seeing the mad Black Deer King getting closer and closer, Pang Jun began to get anxious. Fortunately, just when Pang Jun was only a few feet away from him, they came to a big lake. As it was still a late spring cold weather, there was still a thick layer of ice on the lake, but there were always people who liked to chisel through the ice to fish. There were dozens of ice holes of various sizes on the lakeside. Pang Jun chose one of them and jumped in without hesitation.
Seeing his target jumping into the ice lake, the Black Deer King, who had already fallen into a frenzy, jumped into the ice hole without hesitation. However, less than a few breaths after he jumped in, Pang Jun emerged from the icy cold lake water, immediately went ashore, and used his internal strength to dispel the coldness on his body. It was still the transition between winter and spring, and a thin layer of ice had formed on Pang Jun's body as he had just come ashore. When he practiced his internal strength, water vapor continued to come out of his body as the ice melted.
Not long after, with a "splash", the Black Brocade Deer King emerged from the water panting heavily. He kept breathing, and he looked as if he had aged ten years. He looked at Pang Jun and asked with a complicated expression, "Why did you do this? You could have trapped me to death with the ice lake? What on earth did you let me smell? Why, why could you make me wake up from the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique?"
Pang Jun walked up to the embarrassed Black Brocade Deer King, sealed his acupuncture points, and then said: "Everyone has his own value. In my eyes, you are still worth being used, so I can't let you die so easily. Tell me something about the 'Tianyi Divine Religion'. This Marquis is very interested in this."
After hearing what Pang Jun said, the Black Brocade Deer King said with a mocking look on his face: "Humph, so you want to find out the information about my Divine Religion so that you can get promoted and make a fortune."
"Whatever you want to think," Pang Jun said as he took out two silver needles and pierced the Black Brocade Deer King's collarbones, causing him to scream. He then continued, "I want to know how many masters like you there are in the Tianyi Sect? Also, is there any connection between the Chixia Bandits and your Tianyi Sect?"
His Majesty the Black Brocade Deer King was still soaking in the icy lake, and Pang Jun pressed his acupuncture points to seal his internal strength. He felt the cold piercing his bones. He secretly thought of the cruel methods of the young man in front of him, and trembled continuously as he said, "In the Holy... Holy Church... there are, there are four Heavenly Kings, the Green Scaled Dragon King, the Red Tailed Fox King, the Gray Eyed Vulture King... two God... God Consorts, God Consort Yan and God Consort Ying... and, there is also the Dao Emperor. The Dao Emperor's martial arts are unfathomable, but he can definitely beat many masters of the Heavenly Ranking... As for... As for the Red Cloud Bandits... I... I am the last... one... No, I don't know the relationship between the Red Cloud Bandits and... the Holy Church."
"Your martial arts are so powerful, why have I never heard of your names in the martial arts world? Or, you were once famous in the martial arts world, but later disappeared after joining the Tianyi Divine Sect?" Pang Jun asked again.
"This… I don't know… I only know… I have been living in seclusion… in Nanming Mountain… Ten years ago… I was found… by the Dao Emperor, and he, he only used forty moves… to… to defeat me… After that, I… I became the Heavenly King of the Holy Church… As for… As for the other people, I… I don't know… their… their identities…" the Black Brocade Deer King replied.
Pang Jun knew that asking about their identities would not give him any clues, so he changed the subject and asked, "What exactly do you, the Tianyi Divine Sect, want to do? Don't fool me. I have met your two divine concubines during the siege of the city by the Japanese in Zhejiang Province and the rebellion in Xichuan."
At this time, the Black Brocade Deer King grinned and said, "Haha...haha...with your intelligence and...basic understanding of the Holy Religion...don't you understand?"
"You are indeed doing the same things as the White Lotus Sect of the Taiping Dao. When do you plan to start the rebellion?"
The Black Brocade Deer King shook his head and said, "This… only the Dao Emperor… and the Divine Concubine… know… The Dao Emperor only said… that he was waiting for an opportunity… Oh… I've told you everything I know… Come on… give… give me a quick death…"
Pang Jun didn't say anything. He walked up to him, grabbed his shoulder with one hand, and used 90% of his internal strength. With a "crack", the right shoulder bone of the Black Deer King was broken. Then he left the ice lake without looking back, leaving the man in black floating on the ice lake and screaming.
When Pang Jun returned to the gate of Langzhou, he saw the fairy Yan in white again. Seeing that Pang Jun returned unscathed, Yan Huixin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Pang Jun, "Marquis Changning is indeed worthy of his reputation. How did you do it? I remember that the caster of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Spell has several times better vision, smell and hearing than usual. How did you escape from his pursuit, and how did you prevent him from returning to Langzhou?"
Pang Jun laughed and said, "I lured him into the icy lake, then returned to the shore and severely injured him, and then came back here. Now he is either hiding in a corner to recover from his injuries, or dead. If he is not dead, I am afraid that the first thing he will do after recovering from his injuries is to go to Songzhou and cause trouble for me, because compared to someone like you who is an idle cloud and wild crane and whose whereabouts are erratic, I can escape the monk but not the temple."
"Then let's go and confirm whether he is dead or not." Yan Huixin suggested.
Pang Jun readily agreed.
By the time the two arrived at the ice lake, the Black Deer King had long disappeared, leaving only a long trail of blood that stretched from the ice hole to a forest on the shore, and then disappeared into the jungle.
Yan Huixin frowned and said, "This Black Brocade Deer King is lucky enough to be alive after using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique. I'm afraid that after he recovers from his injuries, he will really seek revenge on you, Lord Marquis. How about this, Huixin will continue to track him down, and as for you, Lord Marquis, you should continue on your way back to Songzhou. At least Songzhou is where you are, and it is relatively safer."
Pang Jun clasped his fists and said, "Okay, that's the only way I can do it. I'll leave it to you, Fairy Yan."
"Your Excellency is too polite. You can just call me Huixin." Yan Huixin said.
Pang Jun seemed to be a little worried and said to Yan Huixin: "Yanxian... Huixin, you have to be careful. The Black Brocade Deer King is just one of the masters of the Tianyi Divine Sect. Not to mention how many Heavenly Kings are at the same level as him, there are at least two Divine Consorts with higher martial arts than him, and a leader who calls himself the Xuanzhen Dao Emperor. You must be careful."
Yan Huixin nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder, my Lord. I understand. I will continue to track you down. My Lord, we will meet again later."
"See you later."
After the two men finished talking, they went their separate ways.
After returning to Langzhou City, Pang Jun did not return to the inn immediately. Instead, he went to a base of "Suifeng", woke up the people there, and asked, "Who is the person in charge of Lianghe?"
The people at the stronghold replied, "Reporting to the envoy, the general person in charge of the Two Rivers Province is the Xuanwu Saint Envoy."
Pang Jun ordered: "Send a message to the Xuanwu Saint Envoy immediately, asking him to personally hunt down a man in black. I have just smeared the 'tracking incense' on this man. Please ask the Xuanwu Saint Envoy not to kill him, and find a way to drive him alive to Songzhou."
"I obey your command."
After explaining everything, Pang Jun returned to the inn and continued to rest.
