Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 463 How could it be him?
"Kill them! Take the treasure!"

"Brothers! Go! Kill!"

The warriors near Zhenliuxuan seemed to be completely ignited by crazy greed. Their eyes were red and they shouted at the top of their lungs. The shouts seemed to be able to break through the sky and make people's eardrums hurt.

They rushed towards the seven formation war puppets on the roof of Zhenliuxuan like a group of hungry wolves, and the ground was covered with flying dust as they stepped on it.

Before the warriors even got close, the situation got out of control in an instant.

Many warriors began to use various long-range offensive methods to attack the roof. Bows and arrows whistled through the night sky, rocks flew like meteors, sword energy flashed and shone, knife energy was fierce and intimidating, and hidden weapons were like dense raindrops.

The roof of Zhenliuxuan was completely covered by these attacks that were as dense as rain and astonishingly powerful, as if it had fallen into a purgatory of steel and power.

Inside the Zhenliu Pavilion.

Xi Rong had sharp eyes and immediately realized that something was wrong. He shouted at the top of his voice:

"Be careful! Stay away from doors and windows!"

As he shouted, he suddenly turned sideways, tensed his muscles, exerted force with his legs, and kicked hard on a sturdy table.

Under the influence of his powerful force, the table flew up like a cannonball with a "whoosh" sound, accurately blocking the window. The wooden board collided with the window frame, making a dull sound.

But a constable near the window on the other side was not so lucky.

In this chaotic moment, he had no time to make any effective evasive moves, and was hit by those hidden weapons like a rainstorm.

His entire face was instantly covered with dense darts, at least a dozen of them, making him look like a hedgehog, which was shocking.

But even after suffering such a severe blow, the constable still relied on his tenacious vitality. He slowly turned his head, his eyes full of pain and pleading, and looked at Zhou Quan, uttering a few words with difficulty:
"Sir...save me..."

However, as his words were still echoing in the air, a sharp blade came slashing through the window like lightning.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the air seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, the windowsill was instantly shattered, and wood chips flew everywhere.

The remaining force of the sword hit the constable heavily.

"Bang!!!"

With a dull thunder-like sound, the constable was chopped off by the sword energy like a kite with a broken string, drawing a short and miserable arc in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

The bones at the back of his head were shattered, revealing white bone fragments. His spine was also broken abruptly. Blood gushed out from the wound like a fountain, quickly spreading on the ground, forming a shocking pool of blood.

Seeing the constable die so tragically, Zhou Quan was so frightened that his face turned as pale as paper in an instant, his lips trembled, and his body trembled slightly involuntarily.

He didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He quickly crouched down and hurriedly ran away from the window. Like a frightened rabbit, he quickly hid beside Xi Rong, his eyes full of fear and helplessness.

The attacks and hidden weapons outside showed no signs of stopping and continued to hit the bamboo building like a torrential rain.

"Crackling!!!"

There was a loud noise on the bamboo walls of the bamboo building, and debris flew like snowflakes.

Some hidden weapons were so powerful that they even penetrated the walls and flew everywhere in the building, causing everyone inside to cry out in pain.

Everyone dodged in all directions, some hid under the table, some protected their heads with their arms, and the scene was in chaos.

Fortunately, Xi Rong is a martial arts expert with strong internal strength.

An invisible barrier seemed to have formed around him. When the flying hidden weapons approached him, they were blocked by this powerful internal force and fell to the ground one after another, unable to get close to him at all.

With him protecting him, Zhou Quan was naturally safe for the time being, but the fear in his heart still shrouded him like a haze.

When the attacks of these hidden weapons stopped for a while, Zhou Quan, still in shock, waved at a constable and said hurriedly with a trembling voice:
"Go, go and tell them!"

The constable understood what he meant and immediately ran to the window, took a deep breath, and then shouted at the outside with all his might:
"Stop it! Stop it now!"

"The prefect is inside. If he is accidentally injured, who among you can bear the consequences?!"

His voice echoed in the night sky, filled with anxiety and fear.

As the constable shouted, the voices outside subsided slightly, and the brief silence was like the calm before the storm.

Just when everyone thought that no warriors dared to attack again and were preparing to leave cautiously.

"Crackling!!!"

The intensive attack came again like a surging wave, and this time it was even more violent than before.

Not only was the bamboo building affected and accidentally injured, but some people even used hidden weapons as if they were specifically trying to attack the bamboo building.

The constable who was shouting had no time to react in this sudden attack. He was instantly shot into a hornet's nest by hidden weapons like a swarm of locusts and died tragically on the spot.

At this time, the warriors had already fallen into a frenzy in order to fight for the treasure, and they didn't care about the prefect.

Because they know very well that there is a truth in this world called "the law does not hold everyone responsible."

If they were individuals, or just a few people, they naturally would not have the courage to launch a large-scale attack on the small building where the Shuntian prefect was located.

But at this time, there were at least hundreds of people on the scene!

And more people are coming in an endless stream, and soon there will probably be thousands of people!
With so many people emboldened, some people will naturally act recklessly.

What's worse, fearing that the situation would get out of hand, some people even launched a fierce attack on the bamboo building, hoping to add fuel to the fire and escalate the chaotic situation.

Anyway, even if something happens, we can just scatter before the main force of soldiers arrives, and whoever gets caught will be unlucky.

In particular, most of these warriors are Ninth Realm warriors who can enter the [Nine Sky Boundless]. People at the Ninth Realm have extremely extreme personalities and are more likely to do things without considering the consequences.

So the warriors were only concerned with grabbing the treasure at this time and didn't care about the life of the prefect at all!

This made it difficult for the people hiding in the bamboo building. They were like trapped beasts in a desperate situation, trembling under this crazy attack.

"They're rebelling... They're really rebelling!"

"These unruly people! They are planning a rebellion!"

Zhou Quan lay on the ground, his eyes red, shouting angrily, his voice full of anger and helplessness.

But the attack outside did not subside at all because of his anger, but became more fierce.

Xi Rong, who was standing aside, looked at Zhou Quan's panicked appearance, secretly despised him, snorted coldly, and cursed silently in his heart:
"You're really holding us back!"

If it weren't for Zhou Quan, Xi Rong would have used his superb martial arts skills to force his way out and escaped alone.

But now he has been dragged down by Zhou Quan and has fallen into such a dangerous situation.

The walls of the bamboo building were soon riddled with holes, like a rotten object eaten away by insects and ants. It was extremely dangerous to continue staying on the third floor.

At this critical moment, Zhou Quan, Xi Rong and others hurriedly covered each other and carefully moved to the second floor.

Compared to the third floor, there were fewer attacks here, and everyone got a chance to breathe temporarily.

Xi Rong also came to the window at this time. He carefully pushed aside the broken bamboo pieces, opened a hole, and looked outside, wanting to see the situation outside clearly.

There were crowds of people outside, and dense crowds of warriors were surging like a tide.

A large number of warriors have begun to attack the bamboo building frantically, with greed flashing in their eyes. It is obvious that they are ready to engage in close combat with the seven treasure owners on the roof.

suddenly!

Xi Rong only felt a sharp eagle-like gaze shot out from the crowd like lightning, looking straight at him.

Xi Rong immediately looked over in the direction of his gaze.

This sight made his face change drastically, as if he had seen a ghost, and he cried out:

"It's him!!!"

"Why...isn't he dead yet?!"

Xi Rong's eyes widened with disbelief.

Because he had clearly seen that on the roof of the row of buildings opposite Zhenliuxuan, among the many warriors, there was a man looking at him indifferently.

And that person should have been dead.

Because that person was Liang Jin!
Xi Rong sent a fifth-rank warrior and two sixth-rank warriors to kill him, and Zhou Quan also sent a group of constables led by a fifth-rank captain to capture him.

No matter from which angle you look at it, it makes no sense that Liang Jin could be watching everything from the rooftop opposite!
If the killer sent by Xi Rong before had not responded, it would only make Xi Rong feel vaguely uneasy.

Now, when he discovered that Liang Jin was still alive, Xi Rong felt that the situation was gradually getting out of his control, like a wild horse running away in an unpredictable direction!

The damned person is still alive and well.

And this person actually set his sights on Xi Rong!
Xi Rong stared at Liang Jin in the distance angrily. He knew that Liang Jin also saw him.

at this time.

Liang Jin looked at Xi Rong indifferently. He slowly raised his hand, like a sharp knife, and finally slowly drew it across his neck in the air, making a throat-cutting gesture.

This gesture is simple and direct, and the threatening meaning is self-evident!

Seeing this, Xi Rong was so angry that his whole body was shaking, his teeth were chattering, and he was gritting his teeth in hatred:
"This brat! He's looking for death!"

At this time, Xi Rong also understood that Liang Jin had already known that it was Xi Rong who wanted to kill him, so he came here specifically to cause trouble for Xi Rong.

suddenly!

A bold and crazy idea flashed through Xi Rong's mind like lightning:

"Could it be that the fight for the treasure here... is related to this kid?"

"Did he arrange all this?"

But the next moment, Xi Rong put this thought behind him.

In his opinion, Liang Jin definitely did not have such great power.

If he was so powerful, he wouldn't have been a small soldier and unknown in the imperial guards.

Thinking of this, Xi Rong couldn't help but look up.

At this time, on the roof, the seven warriors were still fighting fiercely with many treasure hunters.

One of them in particular actually possessed martial spirit. This powerful martial spirit was like an invisible pressure, which made Xi Rong feel deeply wary and even unwilling to provoke him easily.

With Liang Jin's level, how could he possibly hire such a master?

But no matter what, Liang Jin must be eliminated!

Xi Rong immediately looked at Liang Jin again.

As soon as he locked onto Liang Jin's position, Xi Rong was ready to take action himself, rush into the crowd and kill Liang Jin first!

"Ok?"

"What about people?"

Upon seeing this, Xi Rong realized that Liang Jin had disappeared from the spot like a ghost.

There were dense crowds of warriors all around, their figures swaying in the moonlight like a surging black ocean. For a moment, Xi Rong found it difficult to find Liang Jin's trace in this chaotic crowd.

This made Xi Rong frown tightly, and a feeling of irritation surged in his heart.

He immediately turned around and said to Zhou Quan:

"Liang Jin is not dead. I saw him outside just now."

Zhou Quan was stunned when he heard this, and an expression of surprise and confusion appeared on his face.

He sent out so many constables, including a fifth-rank captain, but he still couldn't catch Liang Jin?
"He's not dead yet and he's not running away. What is he doing here?"

Zhou Quan couldn't help but wonder, his eyes full of confusion.

Xi Rong's face was gloomy, like the sky before a storm, and he replied:

"He's coming for us."

"He's gone crazy and become reckless."

Zhou Quan couldn't help but get furious when he heard this. His face instantly turned red like a ripe tomato, and he roared:

"He hasn't even gone to find Liang Jin yet, and Liang Jin actually came to him on his own? This is outrageous!"

Xi Rong continued solemnly:

"But Lord Zhou, don't worry."

"If he really dares to come, he'll be courting death!"

At the end of his words, Xi Rong did not hide his murderous intent at all, and his eyes flashed with cold murderous intent.

Zhou Quan also said in a deep voice:

"Regardless of whether he is the real murderer of my son, since he wanted to commit treason, he deserves to die!"

"Xi Rong, go ahead and kill people, I'll take care of it!"

At this moment, the two quickly reached a consensus.

suddenly!

There was a deafening roar from downstairs.

"Bang!!!"

Obviously, the door of Zhenliuxuan had been kicked open by those crazy warriors.

The sound of the door breaking was particularly harsh in the silent night, as if the knell of death had been tolled.

At the same time, downstairs, the warriors could be heard shouting in a chaotic and frantic manner: "Go up to the third floor. We will attack from below and hit the legs of the seven swordsmen standing on the roof!"

"Yes, we'll catch them by surprise. Their lower body may not be able to withstand our surprise attack!"

"Remember, the first priority is the bronze box. We must take it down!"

……

These shouts intertwined and echoed in the bamboo building.

It was obvious that a large number of warriors were about to rush down the stairs to the second floor.

When Zhou Quan and the detectives saw this scene, they couldn't help but look nervous. Cold sweat broke out on their palms and their hearts were beating violently in their chests.

If a large number of warriors come up, no one can predict what will happen when the situation becomes chaotic.

Especially Liang Jin, who has been hiding in the dark!
Xi Rong said decisively:
"Let's get out!"

"Protect Lord Zhou. Everyone, follow me. I'll lead the way!"

At this point, Xi Rong no longer cared whether it would attract attention.

He immediately took the lead and rushed downstairs like a black lightning.

"When the prefect is traveling, everyone get out of the way!"

"Who dares to block the road? Get out of the way!"

Xi Rong rushed forward while roaring loudly. His voice was as loud as a bell and carried an unquestionable majesty.

He waved his hand, and an internal force as vast as the ocean roared out and attacked.

Those warriors who had just rushed up the stairs were hit by this powerful internal force and flew back as if they were hit by waves. Some hit the wall, some fell on the stairs, and some fell on their companions, making a mess.

A group of detectives quickly protected Zhou Quan in the middle. They formed a tight circle and followed Xi Rong closely.

I have to say that Xi Rong's martial arts are indeed powerful.

His strength at the fourth level was like a sharp blade in this chaotic battlefield, charging forward all the way, and no one could stop him wherever he went.

This made it easy for Xi Rong to lead everyone to rush to the first floor lobby of Zhenliuxuan.

At this time, a large number of warriors had gathered in the hall of Zhenliuxuan.

They surged around like crazy mobs, with greed gleaming in their eyes.

Xi Rong continued to roar and clear the way. His voice echoed in the hall with endless majesty and power, knocking away any warrior who blocked his way like an ant.

This also allowed him to quickly lead Zhou Quan and others to the main gate of Zhenliuxuan, and it seemed that it would not take long before they could rush out completely!

Once you rush out, you will be on the street.

By then, it will be much easier to escape from this predicament!

At this time.

Xi Rong felt something again.

He only felt a sharp gaze staring at him, as if trying to see through his soul.

This made Xi Rong unable to help but look in the direction where the gaze came from.

"It's him again!"

He only saw a figure in the crowded crowd on the street outside Zhenliuxuan, looking at him coldly.

It’s Liang Jin!

Liang Jin grinned at Xi Rong, revealing a cruel and weird smile, which looked particularly eerie and terrifying in the moonlight.

A burning murderous intent instantly flashed in Xi Rong's eyes, and his eyes seemed to be spewing fire.

He was ready to abandon Zhou Quan and his group immediately, and rushed forward like a mad beast to kill Liang Jin!
Zhou Quan is protected by so many constables, he won't die for a while.

And if he missed the chance to kill Liang Jin again this time, if Liang Jin turned around and escaped, left the Imperial Guards and even escaped from the capital, it would not be so easy for Xi Rong to kill him again!

Just when Xi Rong was about to take action.

suddenly!

A black shadow suddenly jumped out from among the many warriors in the hall of Zhenliuxuan.

The black shadow was extremely fast, like a black lightning, and raised his hand to grab Xi Rong fiercely!

That was a man in a black robe!

He was covered in a black robe, and his figure looked particularly mysterious and terrifying in the dim hall.

The moment he made his move, a fishy and putrid smell blew in his face. The smell was like the stench of a rotting corpse, which was nauseating.

Xi Rong's heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart:
"not good!"

"He's a fourth-rank warrior!"

At this moment, Xi Rong no longer cared about Liang Jin, nor did he care about guessing why the man in black robe attacked him.

He was fully focused, his fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white from the exertion, his feet firmly planted on the ground like a big tree with roots, his muscles tensed, his blood surging in his body, like a volcano about to erupt, ready to go.

Xi Rong didn't dare to hold back at all. Facing a sneak attack from a warrior of the same realm, if he couldn't react in time, his life might be in danger!

"The first signs of a landslide!"

Xi Rong roared angrily, and the punch he threw was as powerful as a landslide and the earth splitting.

This move, the initial sign of a mountain collapse, came from a set of advanced martial arts from the Imperial Guards called the "Mountain Shaking Fist"!
The Mountain-Shaking Fist is extremely powerful and renowned for its sheer force. It consists of thirty-six moves and is unavailable to anyone other than high-ranking Imperial Guard officers.

As Xi Rong threw out his punch, the wind from his fist whistled like splitting mountains and cracking rocks. The air seemed to be torn apart by this punch, making a "hissing" sound.

At this moment, the entire hall of Zhenliuxuan was filled with terrifying whistling fist winds. The warriors felt as if they were fallen leaves in a whirlwind, or like clothes in a washing machine, being swept up and flying around.

Their bodies collided with the walls, tables and chairs, making dull sounds. Each of them had their heads broken and bleeding, and the scene was horrific.

This was because Xi Rong's punch was not aimed at them, otherwise how could they be alive at this moment?
Xi Rong's punch condensed 90% of his body's strength. Like a cannonball ready to be fired, it was wrapped in surging internal energy and blasted straight towards the man in black robe.

The fist wind whistled, making a sharp sound in the air, as if it was going to tear the surrounding space apart.

At the same time, the black-robed man's sharp claws, also wrapped in a gloomy aura, swung down with the force of thunder.

The attacks of both sides collided in the air, and a thrilling confrontation broke out instantly!

"Bang!!!!"

A deafening and violent collision sounded.

The sound was like thunder exploding out of nowhere, echoing throughout the entire hall.

The scattered impact force was like a surging tide, roaring and raging in the hall in an instant.

The powerful force was like an invisible giant hand, smashing and scattering the surrounding tables and chairs, sending wood chips flying everywhere. The window frames were also vulnerable and shattered in an instant.

All the warriors in the hall were uncontrollably crashing into the four walls.

In an instant, everything in the hall was blown away by this powerful force, leaving it in a mess.

Xi Rong was knocked back several steps by the recoil force, and every step he took left a shallow footprint on the ground, which shows how powerful this force was.

The man in black robe looked even more miserable.

He was blown away like a kite with a broken string, and flew backwards, through the gate and landed among the crowd outside. After knocking down several warriors, he finally managed to stabilize his body.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xi Rong's eyes, and he couldn't help but blurt out:

"You are weaker than me!"

"How dare you mess with me?!"

At this moment, the murderous intent in Xi Rong's heart burned fiercely like a ignited flame.

No matter what the origin of this man in black robe is, since he dared to attack him, Xi Rong will never show mercy and must kill him first!

After all, why should we be on guard against thieves every day?

Xi Rong couldn't stand the feeling of being on edge as a fourth-grade warrior, having to worry about his life all the time.

He immediately activated his internal energy throughout his body, and the internal energy in his body surged like a surging river.

With a low shout, Xi Rong moved and rushed out of the door of Zhenliuxuan in an instant.

"Get out of here, all you bastards!"

Xi Rong roared.

His aura continued to emanate from his body, and his powerful internal strength was like an invisible shield, knocking away any warrior around him who dared to block his way.

Xi Rong rushed towards the man in black robe with all his might, determined to take advantage of the victory and completely eliminate the man in black robe.

Available in the next second.

The man in black robe disappeared into the crowd quickly like a ghost.

The crowd surged like a tide, and in the blink of an eye, it submerged the man in black robes, and then the man in black robes disappeared completely.

Even though Xi Rong's eyes searched the crowd as sharply as an eagle, he could not find any trace of the man in black robe.

"What a strange movement! How can it disappear so quickly?"

Xi Rong was secretly amazed, and a feeling of unease spread in his heart.

But he didn't know that the man in black robe had already entered the [Props Bar]. How could he possibly find him?

"No! It's to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

Xi Rong's heart was filled with alarm and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

He realized that he had fallen into the enemy's trap and hurriedly prepared to retreat.

But at this moment, Xi Rong suddenly heard a miserable scream coming from behind him.

His heart tightened and he quickly looked back.

In the hall of Zhenliuxuan, the constables who were originally responsible for the protection were lying dead on the ground, and the blood spread on the ground, forming pools of blood.

Two men in black robes appeared in the hall like ghosts at some point and blocked Zhou Quan in a corner.

"You... you dare to touch me, that's tantamount to rebellion!"

"Master Xi! Save me!"

Zhou Quan couldn't help but scream out in fear.

The black-robed men seemed to be completely oblivious to Zhou Quan's words. They exuded an icy chill, and their dark hands slowly stretched out towards him, as if to drag him into the endless abyss of darkness...

Xi Rong's eyes widened in disbelief. He could never have imagined that there were two black-robed men hiding in the hall?!

He was full of doubts. When did these two men in black robes come to the first floor hall of Zhenliuxuan without anyone noticing?

As a fourth-grade warrior, his perception has always been sharp, but he was completely unaware of this, which was simply unbelievable to him.

At this moment, seeing Zhou Quan in a desperate situation, on the verge of life and death, Xi Rong was extremely anxious, and the anger in his chest was burning fiercely, and he could no longer suppress it.

"stop!!!"

A roar of anger burst out from his mouth, the sound was like a bell, shaking the air around him:
"That's Lord Yi from Shuntian Prefecture!"

"Anyone who kills him will be guilty of the great crime of genocide!"

"Do you dare to touch him?!!"

He knew that it was too late for him to go back and save Zhou Quan, so he could only try to use his roar to make the other party afraid to act rashly and stop.

suddenly!

A voice sounded faintly beside Xi Rong's ears, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell, with a hint of chill:

"Why don't you dare?"

Xi Rong's whole body shook violently, and he was horrified. He instantly recognized that this was a secret martial art that allowed him to transmit sound.

However, what shocked him even more was that this voice... was actually Liang Jin's!
How could it be him?
Xi Rong's mind was in a mess. Liang Jin was obviously only a sixth-rank warrior who couldn't even release his internal energy. According to common sense, it was impossible for him to perform such a profound martial art of transmitting sound into secrets.

But the reality was right before his eyes, and he had no choice but to believe it.

But Xi Rong had no time to delve into the reasons. Time was pressing and he could not afford to hesitate for a moment.

Because the two men in black robes in the hall have already taken action!

They moved without any pause, their hands were like two sharp daggers, carrying a cold chill, and instantly pierced Zhou Quan's chest.

Zhou Quan's eyes were wide open, filled with fear and unwillingness. He wanted to call for help, but he felt something stuck in his throat and couldn't make a sound.

The man in black robe pulled out Zhou Quan's still beating heart from his chest with both hands. Blood spurted out like a fountain, staining the man's hands red.

The dignified Yi of Shuntian Prefecture extinguished the flame of life in front of everyone's eyes, like a candle in the wind.

Xi Rong stood there in a daze as he watched this scene, feeling a mixture of anger, shock, and regret.

He never imagined that things would develop to this point...
