　　The sudden change stunned everyone.
　　Ye Qiu looked up and saw a man in a military overcoat, holding a battle knife and splitting it in the air on the pentagram.
　　The man was about thirty years old, and his handsome and peerless features seemed to be carved with a knife, with distinct edges and corners.
　　His sharp and deep gaze unconsciously gave people a sense of oppression.
　　He had a natural kingly momentum of ruling the world！
　　“You said that no one in the world can break the Kikyo pattern. This marquis doesn’t believe it.”
　　Boom！
　　The battle knife pressed down and the pentagram burst.
　　The blade split Abe Aoki’s head along the way. In an instant, blood splashed and brains flowed.
　　The onmyoji, one of the three great masters of the Great East, died without even having time to let out a scream.
Thescenewas silent.
　　No one spoke for a long time.
　　Shock！
　　Besides shock, there was still shock！
　　“Gulu——”
　　Ye Qiu couldn’t help swallowing and asked, “Is he the Champion Marquis Xiao Jiu？”
　　“Yes.” The voice of the Long-browed True Man was a little bitter.
“Old thing, I think you’d better stop competing for the first place on the Dragon Ranking. It’s a kind of sadness to be in the same era as Xiao Jiu.”
　　Ye Qiu even had a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
So many of them couldn’t stop Abe Aoki, yet Xiao Jiu killed Abe Aoki with one strike. It can be seen how abnormal Xiao Jiu is.
　　“It seems that when I fought with him last time, he really showed mercy. Otherwise, I would have lost very badly.” The Azure Dragon also sighed.
　　On the contrary, the Qilin said with an adoring face： “As expected of the God of War in the North, he is indeed invincible in the world.”
　　“Invincible in the world？ Humph, he is not yet invincible in the world.” The Long-browed True Man said unconvinced.
　　“True Man, did you eat a lemon? Why are you talking so sourly?” The Qilin laughed.
　　“The poor Taoist is an outsider and never speaks carelessly.”
Whoareyou kidding?
　　The Qilin took a look and found that the Long-browed True Man had a serious face and didn’t seem to be telling lies. He asked： “The Champion Marquis is already so strong and still can’t be called invincible in the world. Then who can be called invincible in the world？”
　　“In the past fifty years, there is only one person who can be called invincible in the world, and that is the Killing God Ye Wushuang more than twenty years ago.”
　　The Long-browed True Man said： “Ye Wushuang is the real invincible in the world.”
　　When Ye Qiu heard the Long-browed True Man mention the name of his biological father, his heart moved, and he pretended to ask casually： “Old thing, you said that Ye Wushuang is invincible in the world. Have you seen him？”
　　“Of course the poor Taoist has seen Ye Wushuang. Let me tell you, not only have I seen Ye Wushuang, but I have also drunk with him. We talked very happily and regarded each other as bosom friends.”
　　The Long-browed True Man said proudly, “To tell you the truth, I even divined a hexagram for Ye Wushuang back then.”
　　”The hexagram indicated that Ye Wushuang was a dragon among men.”
　　Ye Qiu rolled his eyes.
　　As if you need to say that？
　　Who in the world doesn’t know that my father is a dragon among men？
　　As for regarding each other as bosom friends, that’s even more absurd.
The Qilin said, “I heard that the killer was invincible back then and was extremely powerful. However, senior, He has been dead for more than twenty years and his era has passed. I’m asking who in the present world can be called “invincible?”
　　”No,” the Long-browed True Man shook his head and said, “Ye Wushuang didn’t die.”
　　Upon hearing this sentence, Ye Qiu became a little excited and immediately asked, “Old thing, do you know where Ye Wushuang is？”
　　The Long-browed True Man continued to shake his head： “I don’t know.”
　　”Then how do you know he didn’t die？”
　　”I divined a hexagram and Ye Wushuang didn’t die.”
　　Immediately, Ye Qiu’s heart sank to the bottom. This old thing is very unreliable and divination generally has to be listened to in reverse.
　　So it seems that father is probably more or less dead.
　　”Senior, who is the invincible one in the present world？ Is it Xiao Jiu？” The Qilin asked again. He seemed very interested in this topic.
　　The Long-browed True Man said, “I don’t know who is the invincible one in the present world, but Xiao Jiu definitely isn’t because Xiao Jiu has opponents.”
　　”No way, the Champion Marquis is so strong and still has opponents. Who is it？”
　　Ye Wudi.” The Long-browed True Man said, “I don’t know who is the invincible in the world nowadays, but Xiao Jiu is definitely not, because Xiao Jiu has an opponent.
　　Qilin said, “I know about Ye Wudi. I heard that he is especially obsessed with martial arts. Before he became the bodyguard of the Supreme Chief, he often went to those martial arts gyms in the capital to find people to fight, so the people in the capital all call him the martial arts lunatic. But is his strength really that strong that he can challenge the Champion Marquis？”
Qinglong said beside, I heard Xiao Jiu say that a few years ago he fought with Ye Wudi and he seemed to be injured. As for whether Ye Wudi was injured or not, I don’t know.”
　　Ye Qiu was stunned. His third uncle was so fierce？
　　He heard Qian Jinglan say that Ye Wushuang was obsessed with martial arts and what he pursued was being invincible in the world.
　　Back then, when Ye Wushuang was besieged and killed by many masters, no one in the Ye family came forward.
　　Ye Qiu still thought that one day when he had the strength to avenge Ye Wushuang, he would go to the Ye family to ask for justice.
　　Now it seems that this justice may not be able to be asked for.
　　The Ye family has a huge influence. Old Man Ye used to hold a high position and had overwhelming power. Ye Wuwei is the richest man in China and is as rich as a country. Ye Wudi is the bodyguard of the Supreme Chief and his martial arts can compete with Xiao Jiu, the Champion Marquis.
　　Power, money, and martial arts, the Ye family has all three.
　　How can we seek justice like this？
　　“Besides Ye Wudi, is there anyone else who can be a match for the Champion Marquis？” Kirin asked.
　　“That’s hard to say.”
　　The Long-browed True Man said, “Our China has been rich in outstanding people and hidden dragons since ancient times. Some highly skilled people live in seclusion in the mountains and never set foot in the secular world, but their strength should not be underestimated.”
　　“Let me tell you a story that I experienced personally.”
　　“Thirty years ago, I traveled all over the world and visited all the famous mountains and great rivers in the motherland. When I was in Huashan, I once met an old man. He was not tall, about one meter and five, and over ninety years old, but he walked like a flying arrow.”
　　“At that time, it was winter and there was heavy snow falling from the sky, but the old man was only wearing a thin dress.”
　　“I saw that he was wearing so little and didn’t seem cold, so I was a little strange. I talked to him while climbing the mountain. When we came to the halfway up the mountain, I suddenly found that this old man seemed to have martial arts skills, so I decided to test him and speeded up my pace.”
　　“Guess　what　happened？”
The Long-browed True Man played a trick and said, “No matter how fast my pace was, that old man always didn’t fall and closely followed me, still chatting and laughing with me.
　　“You know, my skill at that time should be similar to that of Ye Qiu now, comparable to the masters on the Dragon Ranking.”
　　“When we reached the top of the mountain, I was already out of breath and sweating all over, while that old man didn’t blush or breathe heavily.”
　　Everyone　was　surprised.
　　The Long-browed True Man continued, “The Five Great Mountains are famous all over the world, each with its own characteristics. Mount Tai is majestic, Mount Hua is perilous, Mount Heng is beautiful, Mount Heng (another one) is strange, and Mount Song is unique.”
　　”Mount Hua is known as the most perilous and strange mountain under heaven, and the most perilous place on Mount Hua is the Skywalk.”
The Skywalk is located on the east side of the mountainside of the South Peak of Mount Hua. It was built by the generation of great masters and highly respected Taoists He Zhizhen in the Yuan Dynasty in order to stay away from the mundane world and cultivate into immortality. It was built on the cliff with stone nails and wood.”
　　”Both above and below the plank road are cliffs. The iron chains are hung horizontally, and the road surface made of stone strips is less than thirty centimeters wide. Now when tourists come here, those with small courage simply dare not go up. As for those with great courage, they are all facing the wall, sticking their abdomens, grabbing the iron chains, holding their breath, and carefully moving forward step by step.”
　　”But do you know how that old man walked on the plank road？”
　　”I saw him jump lightly, with his toes stepping on the iron chain, and after a few jumps, he disappeared among the peaks.”
　　”At that time, in addition to me, there were also some tourists at the scene. Those tourists were shocked by the old man’s actions. Many of them knelt down and worshiped, exclaiming ‘immortal’ in their mouths.”
　　The Long-browed True Man sighed and said, “Even though I am now the third on the Dragon Ranking, I still dare not be so bold and reckless on the Skywalk. It can be seen that in places unknown to us, there are still many strange people and extraordinary scholars.”
　　“Yeah,” Ye Qiu followed up and said, “in this world, there are some people who clearly look very unreliable, but are actually top experts on the Dragon Ranking.”
　　The Long-browed True Man glared and said, “Who are you talking about？”
　　“Whoever I’m talking about, that person knows in their heart.”
　　“You dare to look down on me？” The Long-browed True Man was furious and said, “Be careful, or I’ll be rude to you.”
　　“Do you think I’m afraid of you？”
　　As soon as Ye Qiu’s voice fell, he suddenly felt a huge Qi lock onto him, and he couldn’t move at all. He looked up in horror and saw Xiao Jiu walking over with a battle knife in hand.”
　　“You’re Ye Qiu？ Is it you who crippled my younger brother’s leg？”
