Kou Zhong stopped suddenly On the official road ahead, one person was standing proudly, laughing aloud, and said, “Didn’t Shaoshuai want to be wang shi+chong’s hunting dog? How come you have the leisure to take a walk away fro strides and stopped when he was about ten paces away fro, he said, “Turns out it’s Xuyan Xiong; Huan Mo Shenfa’s name is indeed not in vain, unexpectedly you are able to beco ahead of Xiaodi to block the road to waylay and rob Currently Xiaodi is penniless; however, a cheap life, I do have one If you want to take it, then we’ll have to see whether Xuyan Xiong has the ability?”
Unexpectedly it was the ‘Shadow assassin’ Yang Xuyan Needless to say, heleaving the camp, he followed behind hi’s hts of fancy, plus Yang Xuyan was an expert in concealing his track, in aconsciousness, he was unaware that this for Xuyan wore black hood to cover his head and a set of nightwalker attire on his body, his build was i yet nimble His pair of eyes emitted a fierce and severe expression, he spoke indifferently, “The naht Methods of the Well shook the heavens, who’d dare to boast that he could take Shaoshuai’s life? However, Xuyan saw Shaoshuai and Qin wang’s fierce battle for a long ti unbearably itchy, ood opportunity for no reason, hence I sih and loeen us”
S has seen it very accurately To be honest, today I have not stopped at all, the wear and tear to y is substantial Ay! Could it be that Xuyan Xiong has a lot of time? There is no need to talk nonsense, ht thing”
‘Qiang!’
Yang Xuyan pulled the Shadoord, which has stabbed countless targets that they nursed a grievance without knohat hit the down on Kou Zhong “In that case, Xuyan will no longer be courteous!” he spoke coldly
Kou Zhong took a step back, he drew the Moon in the Well from his back, and pointed it to the opponent froly fierce and severe sword qi He spoke in great astonishe that you have backing Turns out your swordsress, there is indeed the possibility of putting Xiaodi in order, so that Xiaodi ireatly excited and I’ Xuyan was shooting out was continuously growing in intensity, as well as beco more and more concentrated, yet the tone of his voice remained tranquil without any ripple as he spoke coldly, “That tirace froet so soon? Shaoshuai e of someone’s precarious position, because this has always been Xuyan’s style, but also the natural color an assassin should have En garde!”

Without creating any noise at all Xu Ziling sprang up to the top of a tree; he barely caught the person’s shadow flashi+ng into a sarden of another rand residence was located at Buzheng Lane on the eastern bank of Yong’an Canal, those ere able to live in this lane must be wealthy and respectable people, it was only separated by one street, the Anhua Street, with the iht, inside the residence the lamp was black and the fire dark, evidently everybody inside already entered the land of drea was able to follow to this place, it could be said that he exhausted everything he had This ‘qianbei’ [Senior], who see convenience, had an exceptionally highdid not have any confidence that he could grab the treasured painting back froed hisback frooal, he definitely must not let the other side discover that so quietly behind hi had to rely on his spirited senses, which surpassed ordinary person, to trail hili of familiarity floated in hissomewhere else, but momentarily he could not remember who this person was At the same time, he felt at a loss Froarden was far fronificent residence’sthat the world has forgotten; ould they design it so that it appeared to be more tastefully chosen and exquisite than the main residence? It really did not make any sense; unless the ant scholar, who loved to hide in here to enjoy the peaceful and quiet athed inwardly He had never thought that the scroll of painting theft unexpectedly had so raphic flourish with many twists] Tomorrow, Hou kid would be extremely disappointed What should he do now? The ht the treasured painting out of the s, then he would be able to see where that person was hiding the painting; the moment the other side stepped out, in the next moment he would enter in, to be a Papa thief to steal the painting away
It was just a pity that after that person entered the building, it was like throwing a stone and seeing it sink without a trace in the sea, he no longer ot here, this person simply lie down and sleep, would he have to wait until he woke up at daybreak before he could peek for any , Anhua Street would be busy with people coer be a place where he could hide
Very well!
He had no choice but to wait until daybreak, to see if Laotianye would be willing to bestow hiht!

Kou Zhong had deep regret in his heart; Yang Xuyan, this bad guy really kne to select the best of ti could not befallout ang shi+chong, they parted on bad ter about situation, he has had hard battle all day long, he was physically and emotionally exhausted, whileand small, had not healed yet
This kid was clearly taking advantage of someone else’s precarious position, only froed it into killing openly; cursing him for his despicable means would only be senseless and superfluous
Kou Zhong stirred up an enorled hard to amass his power, and discovered that in that moment, he could, at most, use only fifty- to sixty-percent of his nor Xuyan but someone else, even if he could not beat hi Xuyan’s Huan Mo Shenfa, which he inherited froht;at how from the camp he pursued to this place, plus he rushed in front of Kou Zhong to intercept, unless he was an idiot, he knew that there was no way that he could run away fro Xuyan laughed aloud, the Shadoord in his hand suddenly turned into ten ht in the sky above, filling the air and sprinkling toward hi into countless points of qi power like sharp needles pricking his skin, along with no-hole-not-penetrated swordviolently toward hi’s body-weary-strength-worn-out condition, using ten-thousand-jun-thunderbolt y to put him to death by all ht hand to hand with Yang Xuyan, he knew that Yang Xuyan’s creation, the Shadoord Technique specialized in ‘strange danger’into beautiful sharp lights to confuse the opponent, like a serpent or a scorpion’s beauty, which concealed fatal murderous move inside her beautiful external appearance
Kou Zhong stood straight andat all he fixed his gaze on the bright dots of light hiding the sky and covering the earth like exploding fireworks, purely relying on the true qi protecting his body to withstand the opponent’s bits of qi pohich were as sharp as saber blade
The sharp points attacked to about five chi in front of Kou Zhong, but suddenly pulled back and turned into a ball of bright light, about a chi in diameter, consisted of sharp dots; so brilliant that itsaas no longer the Shadoord, but a spirited object that was beyond any words could describe
Now, this was Yang Xuyan’s true skill
‘Qiang!’
The Moon in the Well suddenly changed , but not exactly chopping It was precisely the ‘No Attack’ variant
Laughing heartily, Yang Xuyan said, “Shaoshuai is tired!” He did not see either, but suddenly he was already by Kou Zhong’s left side The sharp lights, like a pillar of waterfall, rushi+ng out toward his cheek, the qi power creating an ear piercing whistling noise, pressing down on Kou Zhong’s eardruned to target the opponent’s senses; even with Kou Zhong’s capability, under Yang Xuyan’s unique school’s sword style’s all-around assault, his usually acute spirit was greatly affected
Kou Zhong shi+fted sideways, he see the Moon in the Well to attack, to hack into the center of the circle of light
‘Ding!’
The dots of light dissipated
The Moon in the Well hit the sword blade head-on
