The night was hazy, but Yecheng, which was supposed to be curfew, was still noisy, and the soldiers who were running and searching with torches were everywhere.

"Plop ......"

Yue Shan Qi poured into his whole body, and he deftly plunged into a pond, making only a slight sound of water, which was inconspicuous in the whirring sound of the cool breeze in early winter.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa......"

The sound of the dense clash of ironclad approached, the flash of torches passed by the pond, and a man exclaimed, "There is no one here...... Check it out there!"

Yue Shan held his breath and went underwater, listening to the searching soldiers walking away, for the sake of caution, he did not surface immediately, but he was extremely worried and depressed in his heart, and he couldn't help but greet the eighteenth generation of the ancestor of the Heavenly Pavilion Lord of Nalaoshzi three times again.

Finally sent several waves of pursuers and got rid of the entangled masters, Yue Shan took advantage of the darkness to go to the small bamboo forest in the west of the city.

It's just that he still has a fantasy in his heart: if the Lord of the Heavenly Pavilion still wants to continue to use me, he will finally meet in the bamboo forest as agreed, give me [Cold Ice True Qi], and appease me with kind words, and I may be able to extort some more benefits, and then go to Guanwai or overseas for two years, so that he can't find me......

However, the reality is cruel, the Heaven Replenishing Pavilion Lord did not show up in the small bamboo forest in the west of the city, after Yue Shan was unwilling to search repeatedly, he had to accept the reality, and the Turtle Sun Pavilion Master didn't even leave a secret note for the next contact!

A breath of internal qi gradually became turbid, and Yue Shan was about to float out of the pond, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps and the sound of armor crashing again, so he had to forcibly hold his breath and lurk down again.

The person who came was a ten-person squad, according to the military system, five people and a team, ten people and a tithe, because the goal of tonight's search was to be able to assassinate the emperor in the heavy guards, if there was only a group of three or five people, most of them would be solved silently by the other party, so the search team was based on one tithe.

The group suddenly stopped at the edge of the pond. Yue Shan, who had been lurking in the pond, was very nervous.

A captain approached the surface of the pond with a torch, as if looking at the bottom of the water with the help of the firelight, and the chief slapped him and rebuked him in a low voice: "What are you doing?...... Don't die!"

Wu Chang was stunned for a moment, but still withdrew his torch, and Shi Chang sighed, "You really want to search for assassins." Don't think 10 of our brothers died fast enough?

I heard a familiar brother who defended the city say, what kind of 'Black Sky Demon Venerable' who stabbed His Majesty into serious injuries, took advantage of the darkness to touch the city wall, the magic sword was vertical and horizontal, the blocker was invincible, and he killed more than 50 brothers in a row, and jumped off the city wall safely, and went leisurely......"

Wu Chang gasped and hurriedly said gratefully: "I am sincere for meritorious service. Dizzy...... Fortunately, brother, you remind, otherwise another assassin will be really found, and we are not enough people to chop melons and vegetables!"

The people gradually drifted away, and the search became more and more perfunctory.

Yue Shan quietly surfaced from the edge of the pond and smashed his fist on the mud bank angrily, finally completely despairing of obtaining the [Ice True Qi] secret book.

The face full of water droplets sometimes showed horror, sometimes turned unwilling, and finally turned into helplessness - a single sword was forced out from the heavily guarded city wall of the national capital. He asked himself if he couldn't do it, and he didn't have the guts.

Without warning. A light and snow-white ribbon floated slowly across the three-zhang wide pond water surface along the whirring winter wind, and quietly touched the back of Yue Shan.

More than ten years of knife licking blood career is not in vain, Yue Shan suddenly had hair erect all over his body, his vest was faintly tingling, and he immediately instinctively gathered, drew the knife, turned around, and split out. The action is like a thousand times rehearsed, in one go, and the blade is in the middle of the front of the ribbon.

"Peng!"

Energetic exclamation.

Yue Shan snorted and jumped out of the pond with his strength, adjusted his body, and then looked up at the sneak attacker on the other side of the pond.

In the dark. A woman dressed in a plain and elegant palace dress, with her face hidden deep in the heavy veil, is standing slim in the wind. The figure is delicate and slender, with a high bun, even if you can't see her flowers, you can feel her compelling elegant demeanor.

The snow-white streamer that had just almost taken Yue Shan's life had long since disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

At the moment when he met her water-cut eyes that seemed to be pouting with a thousand words, Yue Shan's heart was shocked, and the words that he was about to open his mouth to question could no longer be opened.

The woman opened her mouth with interest: "It's you who teamed up with that 'Black Sky Demon Venerable' to assassinate Gao Yang?"

Are you really the people of the Heavenly Pavilion?"

The voice was crisp and pleasant, like the sound of heaven, so that Yue Shan was about to indulge in it unconsciously, and the aftertaste was endless, but the next moment he was shocked, as if he was staring at the jade man on the other side of the pond like a flood beast, and the domineering Dao Sen cold sword qi poured over like a mountain.

This is a big surprise to the woman, and [Heavenly Demon Sound] is a rare disadvantage?

Originally, she had already learned from her uncle Lou Zhao that the martial arts of the person who called himself the 'Black Heaven Demon Venerable' were indeed the descendants of the Holy Gate Mending Heaven Pavilion that had been cut off for more than a hundred years, and through the confrontation with Yue Shan just now, she also found out that Yue Shan's martial arts had nothing to do with the Holy Gate.

And the reason why she asked knowingly was actually to ask him about his relationship with the 'Black Heaven Demon Venerable' from Yue Shankou, and in order to achieve the best effect, she quietly used the [Heavenly Demon Sound] that confused people's minds.

However, she didn't know that Yue Shan had suffered a loss under the [Mouth Blooming Lotus] of the 'Great Virtue Holy Monk', and last night he was planted under the sword roar of the 'Black Sky Demon Venerable'.

forced Yue Shan to have the fear and even vigilance of 'once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope' for this kind of unguardable sound attack, because he could react at the moment when his mental will was high.

But in the next moment, Yue Shan couldn't help but look horrified again, but he felt that when the bursts of sword qi that he had forced past reached the place where she was standing, it seemed to be swallowed up by a bottomless deep hole, and it was completely dissipated in an instant.

"Hey......"

In the graceful and heartbreaking sigh, her delicate body carried a strange and incoherent sucking power, "pulling" Yue Shan's invisible and qualitative knife qi, and fluttered lightly from a height of three feet above the surface of the pond, levitating and floating over.

How dare Yue Shan let her succeed easily, he took a step forward with a solemn face, forced to the edge of the pond mud bank, and just when her body was in the air and half a foot away from this shore, he swung his knife and slashed, and the blade wrapped in infinite sword qi directly hit her forehead, which was as smooth as jade.

"Yikes!"

It seemed to be an unbelievable exclamation at Yue Shan's such a ruthless act, coupled with her weak and resentful eyes, Yue Shan's heart was shocked, and his scalp was numb, and the ferocious killing intent disappeared from time to time, and the knife momentum under the chop was inevitably half weaker. I can't help but secretly cry out that it's not good.

Sure enough, her elegant sleeves poked out two snow-white and soft streamers, ignoring the cold blade that slashed at her head, bypassing the graceful arc, one hitting him in the vest and the other in the back of the head.

Don't look at the gentleness of the streamer when it breaks through the air. If he doesn't focus on it, but Yue Shan only starts from the hairs on his body and is full of danger, he knows better than anyone that if he hits this streamer, he will only have his internal organs shattered and his brain burst.

Without hesitation, she spun her short body, avoiding the two streamers, and the Yue Shan Treasure Knife swept across her delicate body, which was already close to three feet.

Her beautiful eyes frowned slightly, and her wrists trembled slightly. The front ends of the two streamers that had been cut above Yue Mountain collided one by one, causing the streamers to retract like waves, and at the same time, the middle part of the streamers sank rapidly like a falling boulder, just in front of Yue Shan's blade.

The knife and belt touched, and the expected abnormal sound of the exchange of strength did not appear, and Yue Shan felt that the sword qi gushing out of the treasure blade was like a stone sinking into the sea, and it was gone, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Hurriedly retreated.

At this moment, her delicate body suddenly had infinite absorbing power. The space centered on her shrank inward as if collapsing, becoming a bottomless pool.

Yue Shan's body trembled, but he felt uncomfortable falling forward, and immediately used all his strength to retreat......

A scene he didn't expect happened, and her delicate body moved after him. The distance between the two has not changed at all, as if there is an invisible rope between the two of them.

Finally, under Yue Shan's "drag", her embroidered shoes hidden under her skirt stepped on the mud bank on the bank of the pond, and her faint and soft eyes were cold for a moment. The killing intent was overflowing, and the left and right sleeves danced up and down, cutting Yue Shan's shoulders horizontally......

While secretly scolding himself for being stupid, Yue Shan turned around and swung his knife, and the cruel fact that he had been inferior from the beginning of the confrontation made his heart sink uncontrollably.

Although he has not competed with the femme fatale in front of him, he will not be so stupid as to think that his light skills are higher than the other party, and escaping has become the most precious luxury at present......

In the emperor's bedroom, the royal couch was like white paper, and Gao Yang, whose eye sockets were deep, slowly opened his eyes.

Perhaps it was because of the return to light, Gao Yang's groggy mind had been a little more awake since he was injured, and some voices gradually appeared in his ears, and they became clearer and clearer.

There was no expected pain, but the whole body was cold and weak, and the five organs were empty as if they had been taken away, and the difficult rotation of his mind made him know that this was due to the loss of his qi and blood, and the five internal organs were broken, and he was already seriously injured.

A familiar voice continued to come from behind the screen, "Senior sister, Gao Yang is really not good, you don't need to waste Zhenyuan to renew his life."

Anyway, Gao Yang has a lot of brothers and sons, so we just need to choose one more of them to be the emperor, at most, let's put a little more effort into arranging it......"

This is the voice of Uncle Lou Zhao...... Gao Yang was instantly confirmed by his deep memory, but the indifference in Lou Zhao's words made it impossible for him to associate him with the "loyal and kind uncle" he had in the past.

Another familiar voice is his biological mother, the Empress Dowager Lou Zhaojun, "Gao Yang has no shortage of heirs, but if the crown prince Gao Yin is appointed as the emperor, the relationship with us will be alienated again, which is not good!"

After all, a grandson is no closer than a son!"

Lou Zhao said: "This can't be done, we can only think about it in the long run!"

Lou Zhaojun said: "You have fought with that 'Black Heaven Demon Venerable' for a few times, how do you feel that he is compared to Yuyan?"

Lou Zhao groaned: "At least it is a lot stronger than Yuyan, and his innate true qi is extremely strange, although it is still the way of the Holy Gate to specialize in yin qi and dead qi, but it does not have the image of the impatience and rashness of most of the demonic qi cultivated by the Holy Gate exercises.

Its purity and subtlety are even better than the authentic innate true qi of Xuanmen!

This is by no means something that ordinary disciples of the Holy Sect can do, and even the descendants of the various sects who focus on cultivating it will take twenty or thirty years of penance to reach this level...... It's really weird!

I don't believe that the layman of the Huajian Sect Zhang Seng Miao can cultivate such a talented assassin of the Heavenly Pavilion!"

Lou Zhaojun agreed: "Zhang Seng is a nest, and he can't even use the vertical and horizontal techniques of his own sect, so it is indeed impossible to cultivate such an outstanding junior!"

Forget it, I'll take a trip myself to see if I can subdue this son and add a powerful arm to Yuyan in the future!" (To be continued.) )
