Xu Huaigu walked on the streets of the palace, and there was no one on the streets, but the lights in the palaces were already bright, and he didn't know if he was afraid of the grounding order, or because he was afraid of the big demon in the sky before, so he didn't dare to come out.

However, the streets are deserted, and Xu Huaigu walks on the road alone.

Calculating the time, he has been in the palace in Xingqing for three or four days, and he doesn't know what the situation is outside the palace now.

He had heard in the conversation between Prime Minister Liu and Cao Yushi that there were ghost people in the south of Xingqing, and Ling Li rushed to the south of Xingqing because of this matter, so he handed over the matter of taking care of the emperor to Liu Cao and the others. The house where Granny Qin lived temporarily in Xu Huaigu was in the southernmost part of Xingqing, and I don't know if it had been invaded by ghost magic.

Xu Huaigu was still quite worried about Yu Qin's condition, after all, there was only Yu Qin in that room, a weak woman who was powerless, and an old woman who was over the age of six.

Before, I watched Lin Hongzhi's life-renewing ceremony, so I didn't go back as soon as possible. But now, since they have all been identified, they will definitely not be able to stay in the palace. Although he hadn't found any trace of Bai Xiaoyu, he could only go back.

Xu Huaigu walked on the road worriedly, and inadvertently looked at a small palace in front of him from the corner of his eye, from his point of view, the eaves of the small palace just hooked half of the moon, and the moonlight was half out and half hidden, so hazy and beautiful.

A dark shadow flashed away at the corner of the eaves. Xu Huaigu saw clearly, it was a black cat leaping from the corner of the eaves. The cat did not have the slightest consciousness in the palace, and after jumping from the corner of the eaves to the roof, it still did not stop, jumping around on the roof, lively and agile, forming a strong opposition to this seemingly luxurious but lifeless palace.

The black cat jumped wildly among the roof tiles, but suddenly the soles of its feet slipped and almost fell off the roof, but with a clever grasp of it, it caught a tile with its paws, and with this force it sprang up.

Xu Huaigu watched the cat escape and breathed a sigh of relief, but he took pity on the gilded tile and slipped directly from the roof.

Xu Huaigu watched as the gilded tile slipped off the ridge of the roof, its silhouette gradually emerging in the moonlight.

Mixed with a bit of dust, the tile finally lost its last bit of support and fell into the air, tumbling a few times.

Xu Huaigu's eyes couldn't leave the tile, and his pace slowed down.

The gilded tiles are very beautiful, but falling from this height is bound to be the result of shattering.

Xu Huaigu quietly waited for the crisp voice to sound.

"Pop ......"

The tiles fell to the ground and shattered, scattering fragments of ceramic tiles on the gilded surface.

Xu Huaigu felt a little dissatisfied, the gilded tiles in the palace turned out to be gilded on the surface, and the inside was still the ceramics made of clay, but not the glass.

Xu Huaigu walked over, picked up the largest fragment, and looked at it carefully in front of him.

In front of you, this tile looks ordinary, not very beautiful, but why is it so shocking and gorgeous when the entire palace is covered with this tile from a distance?

Xu Huaigu was still staring at the broken tile, but he didn't notice at all that a black figure as tall and short as him behind him had quietly arrived behind him at some point, just looking at Xu Huaigu squatting on the ground.

The black shadow raised a palm, and there seemed to be black mist entwined in the palm.

Xu Huaigu looked at the scene behind him reflected in the moonlight reflecting the gilt tiles, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his body did not move.

The black shadow moved, and the palm wrapped in the black mist was aimed at Xu Huaigu's heart, ready to be slapped with a palm.

A strong wind blew towards Xu Huaigu's back.

Where did he dare to slack off in the slightest, that is, at the moment when the man in black took out his palm, the sword hidden in his sleeve suddenly popped out like a snake and stabbed straight into the palm!

Blood splattered, and the palm of the hand had three fingers slashed off by the sword.

The man in black let out a wail of pain, screaming like a ghost, almost piercing his eardrums. Xu Huaigu didn't need to think about it to know that it must be the demon clan in the Demon Sect, and people would not be able to make such a voice no matter what.

This man in black originally attacked Xu Huaigu, but he was injured first, despite this, Xu Huaigu still didn't dare to fight, as long as he looked at the ability of the man in black to sneak behind Xu Huaigu, Xu Huaigu could judge that the strength of this man in black was definitely stronger than himself, and more than a little. The sword he had just taken by surprise, and if the man in black was really careful, he was afraid that a sword would not hit him.

Although he didn't know why the Demon Sect wanted to kill him for no reason, he understood that he was in the palace now, and as long as he could delay it for a while, there would be a strong man from the palace who would come to clean up the demon clan, so his first thought was to delay time.

Putting away the sword, he fled to the nearest alley.

The black-clothed man failed to sneak attack, and he was even cut off three fingers by Xu Huaigu, who was in a lower realm, with a sword, at this time, pain and shame were mixed, and he couldn't care about anything, and chased in the direction of Xu Huaigu's escape.

The man in black was originally a demon clan of the Four Realms, belonging to the Demon Sect branch of Xingqing, and his realm was higher than Xu Huaigu, where could Xu Huaigu outrun him?

As soon as the man in black showed his technique, he could barely see his footsteps, only saw a black mist robe flickering through the night, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the front of Xu Huaigu, blocking his way.

Xu Huaigu gritted his teeth and looked at this small alley, only one person could pass, and there was no way back except for the road ahead. Retreating is naturally useless, the realm of this man in black is obviously higher than him, and he can't escape if he retreats.

So he simply slashed forward with a ruthless sword.

He held the sword in both hands, held it at his waist, and rushed directly at the man in black.

His speed was very fast, but the man in black was far superior to him in terms of realm and experience in fighting, just when Xu Huaigu thought that this sword could cut the man in black, his figure jumped and jumped straight to the height of the two of them.

Xu Huaigu's sword was so powerful that he couldn't stop after falling into the air, and rushed forward several steps. When he looked at the man in black in the sky again, the man in black had already fallen down wrapped in a flying black robe.

As soon as the man in black landed, the robe came to Xu Huaigu's eyes, covering his entire body. It was pitch black in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see anything anymore.

Xu Huaigu was covered in a black robe, so he could only forcibly suppress his fear and took a deep breath. He didn't dare to hesitate any longer, for fear that if he hesitated any longer, he would not have time, so he followed his instinct and decisively slashed in one direction.

The sword slashed at the black robe, cutting a long gap, but it didn't hit anyone.

Xu Huaigu scolded damn it, knowing that the next thing was his weakness. Sure enough, as soon as he thought of this, he was hit in the chest by an extremely powerful force, and a mouthful of fishy sweet blood suddenly gushed out of his throat, and the ribs in his chest seemed to be shattered, and his body flew out uncontrollably, hitting the wall hard.

Xu Huaigu's face was full of pain, but the sword in his hand did not fall, and he tried to open his eyes and slash out another sword in the direction of the black robe.

But it still fell through.

The man in black never gave him a chance to draw his sword again, he rushed up and kicked the back of Xu Huaigu's hand, knocking the sword to the ground.

Xu Huaigu leaned against the wall and looked at the man in black in front of him in despair.

Probably because his fingers were cut off, the man in black was extremely resentful, and with a little ridicule: "It's still a rare sword cultivator, and there is a good sword, what a natural sword seedling." How's it going, does it feel good to fall in a pool of blood? Isn't it cool to be dying?! ”

Xu Huaigu swallowed a mouthful of blood and did not answer, but his face was still unwilling.

The man in black grabbed Xu Huaigu's neck with one hand, his eyes were full of madness: "Look at your face, are you still thinking about the future of the Great Road?" Are you still thinking that when you become a great monk in the future, you must peel my tendons and pull my skin? Hahaha...... Will there ever be another day? What I like the most is to kill so-called geniuses like you, and see how unwilling you are before you die...... Great. ”

The man in black said enough, and didn't want to entangle with Xu Huaigu anymore, so he picked up the sword that Xu Huaigu had fallen to the ground, and pointed it between his eyebrows: "If you want to kill me, let's talk about it in the next life." Even with your potential, it is useless to be able to become a monk of the Nine Realms or even the Ten Realms in the future. In this life, you can only go here! ”

Xu Huaigu closed his eyes helplessly.

Two breaths had passed, but he had not felt the pain, as if nothing had happened.

Is this what death feels like?

It doesn't hurt or itch, and it doesn't seem to be that scary.

He tried to open his eyes, but he actually opened his eyes and saw the world.

The moonlight is clear and the stars are faint.

And the tip of the sword, still pointed between his eyebrows, did not move forward.
