In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Under the lamplight, Yunhua's dazzling trench coat made her look like a female warrior from a comic book, full of allure.

Hold me!

Liu Sengpiaoxu was confused, but she still stepped forward and put her arm around the burly man as Zhang Xiaoshan had instructed.

hum!

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoshan leaped ten zhang, and to Liu Sheng Piaoxu's astonishment, Zhang Xiaoshan was holding the pair of dragon-fish wings and soaring into the sky.

This was not the gliding she had imagined, where she would soar into the sky like a roc in the heavens.

"Fly...fly...fly away! Young master has flown away?"

This scene was witnessed by Jiang Xue, who was looking at the stars on the balcony, and she looked shocked and incredulous.

This one actually flew, the kind with wings.

"What's wrong, Sister Xue?"

Although Huang Rong was skilled in cooking, she was not as good at taking care of people as Hongxiao and Jiangxue, and she was the one being taken care of.

Since the bedrooms are connected, the three-person room offers almost no privacy; in fact, the three of them form a small group.

"Young Master flew away just now?"

"It flew away?"

Hongxiao looked at Jiangxue in confusion. What flew away?

"It's the dragon-fish wings that you put into your study last time. Just now I saw the young master holding Miss Piaoxu and spreading those dragon wings to fly away."

Like a bird, it soared dozens of feet into the air, spread its wings, and flew away!

"What are you talking about in your sleep?"

Hongxiao looked at Jiangxue, who was still in shock, and realized that without drinking three catties of strong liquor, she couldn't say such a thing.

"It's true. If you don't believe me, go and see the dragon-fish wings in the young master's study. Also, Miss Liu is wearing a fire cloud robe. Something must be about to happen."

Even Huang Rong was surprised and doubtful upon hearing Jiang Xue's affirmative words.

Can a person fly with wings? That's absolutely a fantasy.

But if Zhang Xiaoshan were to add those dragonfish wings, it might not be impossible.

After all, Zhang Xiaoshan had far too many unusual items in his possession, such as the wireless kite that she once witnessed hovering in the air for half an hour.

A mere softened tendon, relying on its elasticity and the thin silk fabric as delicate as a cicada's wing, flew forward until the elasticity of the tendon was exhausted and it lost its power to rotate.

····

"arrive!"

The temple in front of Zhang Xiaoshan—Wanfo Temple—was the place where the Sixth Prince trained assassins and also where he hid his wealth.

Even at night, monks still chant sutras at Wanfo Temple, and the heavy bronze bell tolls on time, reminding everyone of the evening prayers, the time for washing up, and finally, the time to turn off the lights and go to sleep...

Who would have thought that such a 'peaceful place' harbored a terrifying killer?

According to Yingxue's account, many of the Buddha statues in Wanfo Temple are made of pure gold.

Once the Sixth Prince has collected a certain amount of gold, he will cast it into a golden Buddha statue for storage and place it in the main hall for worship.

In that case, who wouldn't have thought that these Buddha statues were made of gold?

These gold reserves are the foundation of the Sixth Prince's power, and the key to his final position.

The emperor and the scholar-officials jointly govern the country!

Therefore, the final decision on the throne, besides the emperor's will, also involved those veteran ministers, such as the current prime minister and foreign minister.

The gold was prepared for them; otherwise, who would support you to be emperor?

Moreover, these two men almost completely controlled the emperor's will.

"Go!"

"Yes, son!"

Although the Fire Cloud Armor was red, no one could be seen hidden in the darkness.

It even has internal energy throughout its body, and also has the characteristics of a chameleon, possessing invisibility and excellent stealth.

After all, a set of enhancement points worth 10,000 merits is no joke.

The highly elastic fish skin did not restrict her movement.

Once inside the underground palace, apart from the initial guards at the entrance, most of the people inside were practicing various killing techniques.

The instructor was an extremely burly middle-aged monk, his muscles gleaming with a fierce bronze light, his martial arts skills having reached a high level.

After entering, Liu Sheng Piaoxu did not immediately take action. Instead, he scouted the surroundings and identified the target.

Finally, it was determined that there were three experts in the underground palace:

One was an elderly man who appeared to be the master of the underground palace. He sat in a wheelchair full of mechanisms, was thin, had white hair but a youthful face, and his eyes were full of sharp light, not much inferior to hers; another was the steward who kept accounts. His weapon was a Spring and Autumn Annals pen, his divine light was restrained, and his internal strength was extremely profound; the third was the previous instructor, a great monk, whose body was probably already at the peak of his martial arts training.

If he were alone, Liu Sheng Piaoxu might want to give it a shot.

However, since the three masters could not be defeated at the same time, Liu Sheng Piaoxu chose to retreat.

He knew the consequences of alerting the enemy!

"So many experts? It seems I underestimated the Sixth Prince's strength!"

After a slight surprise, Zhang Xiaoshan realized he had been making assumptions.

As the sixth prince of the current dynasty, how could he only have two top experts, Yingxue and Yingxia, by his side? That would be reasonable!

Otherwise, with only a handful of capable individuals, it would be wishful thinking for the Sixth Prince to vie for the throne!

Yingxia was merely his open ally in eliminating dissidents; no one would put all their cards on one person's plate.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.

He was currently short of manpower to replenish his Blood Droplets, and now someone had delivered them. Regardless of the quality of these assassins, just three experts were a huge profit.

As for how to control them?

It's impossible to recruit them like Xingyin and Duan Yanqing did.

He knew nothing about these assassins, and who knew if any of them were particularly loyal to the Sixth Prince.

Suicide squads are everywhere!

The best way is to control the other party with the Life and Death Talisman, which is in his best interest.

"Piaoxu, go lure them out and make a scene."

Chapter 219 The Destruction of the Underground Palace Using the Clone Technique

"who?"

When Liu Sheng Piaoxu went in again, he deliberately left a loophole and guessed the answer to a pebble.

The middle-aged monk, who was at the peak of the Transcendental Training, noticed the sound and unleashed a powerful Eagle Claw technique, charging out like a cheetah. His powerful claw struck directly at Liu Sheng Piaoxu's location, arriving in an instant.

Snow is falling on the earth!

The chilling aura of the blade erupted, and in an instant, the blade light filled the surroundings, with a faint blade gleam flashing across the samurai sword.

The great monk shattered all the sword energy with a single claw strike; his honed body completely disregarded the force of the swordplay, and he directly grabbed at Liu Sheng's longsword, displaying absolute confidence.

Ding!

The invulnerability to swords and spears, and the powerful Eagle Claw Kung Fu infused with qi and blood.

The moment the longsword sliced ​​through the 'eagle claw', the monk felt a sharp pain in his palm as an extremely cold and sinister aura instantly invaded his meridians along the wound.

Especially the palms, before the blood could gush out, were already frozen by the extreme cold, shimmering with frost.

The terrifying aura of the blade caught the head monk off guard for a moment.

"how is this possible?"

The Thirteen Protectors had mastered the art of physical training, and the Great Monk was confident that his physical training had reached its peak.

Leaving aside the true qi of internal martial artists, they are at least difficult to harm by weapons, even divine weapons are no exception.

The middle-aged monk was stunned when his inner strength was so easily broken with a single slash; his expression was filled with disbelief.

At this moment, the assassins, seeing the enemy attack, rushed forward.

Snow is falling on the earth!

The blades flashed and the swords gleamed; wherever the samurai swords passed, the assassins lay dead on the spot.

Lacking advanced external martial arts skills and with a low level of true qi cultivation, these assassins appeared slow and vulnerable to true masters.

Suddenly, Liu Sheng Piaoxu felt a cracking sound behind her. As she turned around, a judge's pen appeared and instantly struck six major acupoints on her, including Tanzhong, Liangmen, and Guanyuan.

And with lightning speed, she was already at his chest the moment she turned around, leaving no room for dodge.

Ding! Ding! Ding...

In the clash of sparks and lightning, the judge's pen vanished without a trace amidst the light and shadow of the samurai sword.

And with a flash of light, an extremely cold blade aura came straight at him, causing the opponent to retreat abruptly!

A top-tier expert! And a truly exceptional one!

With one move, he broke through the monk's external defenses; with one strike, he forced back the middle-aged scholar's sudden attack with his judge's pen. Even the remaining assassins looked at him with apprehension.

They were clearly up to no good, belonging to the level of a powerful outsider; going up against them would only be suicide.

Even assassins value their lives.

"Who are you? And why have you intruded here?"

The scholar holding the judge's pen was filled with apprehension; he hadn't expected his opponent to be so formidable.

Moreover, it was the Bushido of Japan. After much thought, the middle-aged scholar suddenly thought of a hidden but terrifying master among the Bushido experts of Lin'an Prefecture.

"Are you perhaps a renowned Yagyu master from Japan?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng Piaoxu immediately turned and left.

Her goal was to lure the opponent out, so there was no need to linger in the fight. Besides, the outside space was much larger, so she didn't need to hold back when making a move.

"Go away!"

This is the Sixth Prince's secret base.

Once exposed, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Zhang family, or the Zhang family may find this place by following the slightest clues, at which point they will not even have a chance to move.

"Third brother, let's attack together!"

At this moment, the senior monk, whose external martial arts had been broken, also came to his senses and hurriedly chased after the middle-aged scholar.

When an assassin blocked her path, Liu Sheng Piaoxu slashed him down with a single stroke.

"Kill the God of Death with one strike!"

A terrifying killing intent surged forth like a tidal wave, and the sword energy surged and erupted. Wherever it passed, the assassins who blocked the way instantly turned into corpses.

Moreover, the knife wounds on his body were covered in frost, with no sign of blood flowing like a river.

At that moment, the middle-aged scholar, who was chasing after them, pointed his judge's pen, and a cold, sharp light shot out from between his fingers.

That glint of cold light, its murderous intent so intense, was terrifying.

Ding!

Looking at the steel needles embedded in the blade, Liu Sheng Piaoxu noticed their indigo-purple reflection, clearly indicating they were coated with potent poison.

Then, before the two could even land properly, he used his katana to attack them instead.

In an instant, countless blades flashed like dazzling starlight, and the blade energy surged like a mighty river. An extremely sharp killing intent swept over them, attacking the two who were hastily defending themselves.

Whether it's the middle-aged man with the judge's pen or the senior monk.

In a sudden and hurried defense, even with two against one, they couldn't gain any advantage for a while, and were instead restricted everywhere in the narrow passageway.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the stone gate of the underground palace exploded.
