With a hard touch, the two of them trembled together like an electric shock, and each floated back along the current.

Feeling that the opponent was strong in skill and extremely experienced in combat, it was basically impossible to take it down within ten moves, and neither side wanted to expose it, 'Xu Zhongxian' immediately retreated along the current and continued to dive towards Hualin Garden.

In his mind, the other party saw his martial arts, and he should also retreat.

The canal is wide, and everyone swims on one side!

Unexpectedly, the man's qi was still locked in him, and it kept increasing, and the thick murderous energy was permeated, and the tragic and ferocious aura cultivated by the hundred battles of the yellow sand shrouded the space under the water.

The water suddenly condensed like ice and snow!

'Xu Zhongxian' only felt that the skin of the vest was tingling like a pinprick, as if he was locked by a deadly crisis.

Grandma drips, it's not over yet......

The thought of anger flashed away, and the blood in Xu Zhongxian's eyes suddenly appeared, and in an instant, a burst of fierce murderous counterattack returned, and he also locked on that person!

The upgraded version of the [Heavenly Heart Method] naturally operated to the limit, and the pores of 'Xu Zhongxian' exuded wisps of black and mysterious true qi, and as soon as he entered the water, it immediately dissolved like smoke and mist, and instantly filled the underwater space with a radius of three feet.

It's like a large squid spitting out a thick piece of ink.

That person had already locked on 'Xu Zhongxian' with a ferocious momentum, and was about to deliver a killing blow to his vest, but he didn't want the eerie and mysterious black energy he released to contain extremely strange and strong corrosive properties, dissipating the energy he used to lock his person.

Losing the precise position of the target in an instant made his powerful sword with enough momentum nowhere to vent, but he was so tired that he was suffocated, and his momentum inevitably fell.

Silently, the 'black water' that filled the three-zhang radius swept towards the man quickly, and the Jiushao Dingyin Sword in the right hand of 'Xu Zhongxian' was hidden in the thick 'black water'. Following the texture of the water, it fluttered lightly towards the man's chest.

The sword body was pitch black, and it was clear that it had enough internal strength, but it had never overflowed the slightest sword qi!

Although there was only one move in the fight just now, that person's every move revealed the details of the opponent's being a veteran on the battlefield. 'Xu Zhongxian' didn't know that such a person who had survived a hundred battles might not be able to sense spiritually, but he was the most sensitive to the murderous aura that threatened his life!

As a result, these people are able to repeatedly and timely parry deadly swords or avoid vital points when they are on the battlefield......

At this time, 'Xu Zhongxian' was doing the opposite, not only gathering the Sen Han sword qi in the sword body, not leaking it, but also restraining the sword intent to kill. The sword stabbing action is even more fluttering without a trace of momentum, so that the opponent must not feel the slightest murderous aura in front of the blade and body!

Suddenly, 'Xu Zhongxian''s pitch-black and crystalline eyes turned, and his body sank silently to a position close to the mud and sand in the thick 'black water', and the Jiu Shao Dingyin Sword in his hand also quietly changed the direction of the attack......

Seeing the thick 'black water' rolling towards him, the man snorted coldly, raised the heavy long sword in his hand, and held the sword in both hands. The long-accumulated true qi poured into it, and the fierce and domineering sword qi couldn't help but condense. Energetic.

The corners of his mouth raised a slight smirk, and the man's momentum, which had already fallen a lot, rose to its peak, and the long sword that was about to be slashed down also instantly crossed a strange arc with the help of the water flow, turning into a swift horizontal slash.

With such a powerful move, where the blade passed, the water only made a faint snort. This person is clearly proficient in the art of water warfare, and he is undoubtedly a general of the Southern Dynasty!

The ferocious sword qi rushed out, carrying a heavy stream of water directly into the thick 'black water' in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the thick 'black water' was cut into two by the sword qi without any resistance, and the upper half quickly faded away. The lower half was as rich as before, quickly 'devouring' the position below the waist and abdomen.

The smirk on the corner of the man's mouth froze, and although he didn't feel the slightest murderous aura, he still didn't hesitate to swing his sword and slash down, just in time to hit him from the bottom of the water.

"Peng!"

The blades struck, and the energy exploded, shaking the heavy flow of water.

The man's figure was shocked, only to feel a lifeless cold sword qi dissipate his hastily condensed internal strength, along the long sword invaded his arm meridians, and in an instant, it had reached the chest and abdomen position, and where it passed, the blood and flesh of the meridians were numb and painful......

It was not the severed damage of ordinary sword qi, but the feeling of rotten sores and decay!

He was shocked in his heart, and he was busy trying to dissolve his innate true qi, but he finally suffered a big loss, and spurted out a mouthful of blood before he could barely unload the residual enemy strength.

At the same time, how did he not know that he was in danger, and without hesitation, he kicked out his legs in a row, stirred the water under him, and handed his sword to his left hand......

In one fell swoop, the meridians of his right hand had already been injured, and it was difficult to load ten successes!

However, 'Xu Zhongxian' has a winning plan and is poised to make a contribution, so how can he be allowed to regroup?

The eagle claw in his left hand, which had already gathered black energy, quickly poked out, and preemptively locked the trajectory of the opponent's right foot in the heavy current, and the Jiushao Dingyin Sword in his right hand was not far behind, stabbing the opponent again!

After all, the sword was long and the hand was short, and the two swords were the first to fight.

"Peng!"

The energy is striking, and the water is bursting out.

The man squirted another mouthful of blood in response, and hurriedly changed hands and took out the sword, this time the loss was even greater, but fortunately, he finally achieved his goal, and at this time, he quickly floated up with the power of the sword blade, wanting to get rid of 'Xu Zhongxian'.

But after all, he was half a step too late, and he only felt a pain in his right ankle, which had been cut off by three cold and sharp fingers, and burst into a puddle of blood in the water. In fact, if he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, he would have been buckled at this time, and the consequences would have been needless to say!

In a fit of rage, he couldn't care about the trauma to the meridians of his right arm, and slammed his fist down.

The thick fist power of the dark whirlwind rolled with the flow of water, and at such a close distance, 'Xu Zhongxian' was also difficult to dodge, so he had to use a Jiushao Dingyin Sword to accurately hit the center of the fist with the tip of the sword full of black energy, and broke it.

However, his body was hindered by this, and the man had already rushed out of the current, and he couldn't stop speeding up his dive, and he accelerated his pursuit, but it was too late.

And that person is clearly very good at water warfare, if it weren't for a mistake in calculation, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been so defeated!

'Xu Zhongxian' had vaguely guessed the identity of that person, and knew that if he pursued him relentlessly, that person would definitely jump ashore to save his life, even if it was exposed, that person was sure that he would be safe and sound, but it was difficult to say himself!

After staying here for a while, 'Xu Zhongxian' sensed that the man had sneaked from a fork in the canal to the pond of the rest of the gardens, and that it was not the same as the Hualin Garden where he had gone, so he immediately began to dive and continue his plan to escape.

I secretly slandered in my heart: Go back to your own house as soon as possible, find your own mother, wouldn't you be hello, I am good, everyone's good? I have to bite like a mad dog?...... Sometimes, Wang Ba's mental technique is too heavy, and it is also a disease!

"Quick...... Fast...... Fetch water, splash here!"

The male ducks of the eunuchs rose and fell, and the little eunuchs and guards carried buckets and ran endlessly.

Thick smoke rises everywhere, the fire is soaring into the sky, where the Bailiang Hall is located, has become a sea of fire, through the shaking raging flames, you can still faintly see the wooden pillars, beams and other things.

More than 100 people are fetching water from various canals and ponds to extinguish fires, and they are very busy, but they are still a drop in the bucket.

"Whoa...... Bang bang ......"

From time to time, there was a crisp sound in the fire, and it was the rubble of the roof falling and shattering.

"Whoa......

The sound of dense and neat armor crashing approached, and three or four hundred guards arrived with buckets and jogging in formation, led by the general surnamed Chen, who was on duty at Donghua Gate during the day.

The eyes of the eunuch leader, who was in a hurry, lit up, and he greeted from afar: "Lao Chen, Your Majesty is not here, why are you still pretending?"

Hurry up and let the little cubs fetch water to extinguish the fire!"

The sleepy-eyed old Chen glanced back at the empty wooden barrels in the hands of the guards, couldn't help but be secretly embarrassed, waved his hand to the pond next to him, and shouted: "Quickly get water to extinguish the fire!"

The Praetorian guards flocked to the ponds and canals, their movements agile and powerful, worthy of the elite selected from the thousands of armies.

The chief eunuch nodded with satisfaction, and said casually: "Lao Chen, the miscellaneous family and other affairs ordered by the queen mother, I will leave it to you here!" After speaking, without waiting for Lao Chen to answer, he hurriedly turned around and left.

Lao Chen looked at his back, snorted, and snorted disdainfully: "Dead * castration ** species...... Sycophants!"

However, Lao Chen knew very well in his heart that this Bailiang Hall was inexplicably set on fire and burned down, and the stewards and eunuchs could not escape the involvement, if they did not come to the master as soon as possible to exonerate themselves, they might be used as scapegoats!

In fact, in such a thing as burning down the palace by fire, the person who made the mistake is guilty, and the firefighter must not have credit, and the firefighter is equally guilty of messing up. If it weren't for Lao Chen, who was a distant relative of the emperor's clan, and was not afraid of being slightly implicated, he would never have taken this hot potato at this time.

In a hidden canal on the west side of Hualin Garden, a man in a python robe and a long sword hanging from his waist staggered ashore, hid behind a rockery to dry his clothes, and hastily bandaged the injury of his right foot and hamstring.

It took him a moment to grit his teeth and get up, and sneak towards the western wall as fast as he could, but the twitching pain in his hamstrings reminded him that the leg was probably half dead!

That kind of cold and mysterious true qi was extremely corrosive, and after his hamstrings were cut into three or four by his fingers, it corroded the nearby tendons and ligaments even more fiercely.

Even if you connect the hamstrings after that, and then raise them with the innate true temperature, it will be difficult to recover as before...... At most, there are only five points of flexibility and leg strength from before!

inexplicably fought with someone and became a cripple...... At the thought of this, he hated the man who had hurt him, "But the sword ...... Jiushao Dingyin Sword...... Huh!"

When he arrived at the foot of the western wall, he pouted and whistled twice, and the guard at the head of the wall immediately hung down a rope, which he grabbed and climbed up with his skills.

What was originally easy to do, at this time, due to the injury of the right foot, it was quite laborious......

A moment later, he slid down the wall to the outside of the palace again, and the master who answered in the dark said unexpectedly: "The king of the county is injured?"

He snorted coldly and ordered: "You go to the north of the city and wait, once you see a master coming out of the wall, you will be killed!" )
