The dark water threads came towards Shi Yao in a spiral shape, at an extremely fast speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

There was no panic on Shi Yao's face.

She was calm and composed. She raised her hand and instantly pinched the extremely sharp spike at the front end of the Nether Water Silk with two fingers.

Shi Yao smiled at Zhong Xiaokui, as if to say that it was nothing special.

Zhong Xiaokui became angry and humiliated. She pulled the dark water silk hard, trying to take it back.

Although Shi Yao looks weak, her strength is no less than hers.

The dark water thread between the two people was stretched straight.

The two of them continued to be in a tug-of-war like this for a long time.

suddenly.

Shi Yao suddenly released her strength, and at the same time, she flicked her fingers with her backhand, bouncing the dark water silk back.

Zhong Xiaokui's pupils widened as he watched his weapon coming towards him.

There was no time to dodge, so she could only fall to the side as hard as she could.

Tear it apart!

Blood gushed out of the right shoulder.

Zhong Xiaokui quickly covered his right shoulder with his hand to stop the bleeding.

But because of the pain, she couldn't help frowning.

Shi Yao's mouth curled up.

This was a warning she gave to Zhong Xiaokui.

Now that she has a mission to accomplish, she doesn't want to fall out with Zhong Xiaokui.

Shi Yao said softly: "Master Zhong, you and I should each perform our duties and do our own things."

Zhong Xiaokui looked pale.

After a brief fight, she knew that she was no match for Shi Yao and naturally didn't want to get entangled any further.

Shi Yao continued, "Lord Zhong is very busy every day, and he also serves as the emperor's companion. He is physically tense all day, which causes fatigue in his muscles and bones. He needs to relax his body and mind properly and rest on time."

Her words were a way of giving Zhong Xiaokui some way out.

After all, it would be of no benefit to anyone if the two continued to be deadlocked like this.

And there's one more thing.

Shi Yao glanced at the injured area on Zhong Xiaokui's shoulder.

Her meaning was obvious.

How can I explain to Zhu Youzhen that I suddenly injured my shoulder while being in this imperial palace?

If Zhong Xiaokui is sensible, she can help speak up. I believe that with her position in Zhu Youzhen's heart, she can help Zhong Xiaokui save a lot of trouble.

Zhong Xiaokui glanced sideways at her shoulder and understood.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Who are you?"

"Master Zhong, why do you have to dwell on my status as a servant? I just want to say that Master Zhong and I are not enemies."

Shi Yao still had things to do, so naturally she wouldn't say anything more to Zhong Xiaokui.

She said calmly, "May Master Zhong be in good health. I will take my leave."

Then he turned and left.

Zhong Xiaokui looked at Shi Yao's leaving back, and his expression gradually became solemn.

The water inside the Daliang Palace was getting deeper and deeper.

It seems that we cannot act rashly for the time being. We have to wait until Lord Ghost King returns before making any plans.

Zhong Xiaokui is the ghost king Zhu Youwen's man.

He was placed next to Zhu Youzhen to monitor Zhu Youzhen's movements.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

Ever since Zhu Youwen was ambushed by Zhu Yougui and the Black and White Impermanence, he no longer dared to trust anyone.

He asked Zhong Xiaokui to monitor Zhu Youzhen in order to prevent another situation similar to Zhu Yougui's sneak attack while he was practicing martial arts.

......

Talk about the other side.

Li Cunxu led the Jin army soldiers and quietly approached Bianzhou City under the dark night and strong wind.

Although their movements were very covert, they were numerous and their targets were too obvious.

In addition, the Liang army had increased its vigilance in recent days, so they were still discovered by the Liang army soldiers who were patrolling on the top of the city.

Suddenly.

A soldier shouted loudly: "The enemy army is attacking the city! The enemy army is attacking the city!"

For a moment, people gathered on the city wall, and a large number of soldiers poured in from all directions.

The archers of the Liang army gathered at the first opportunity and they drew their bows and shot arrows at the Jin army frantically.

Not only that, the infantry of the Liang army also gathered behind the city gate at the same time, ready to go out of the city and counterattack at any time.

After several waves of arrows, Jin army soldiers began to suffer casualties.

Seeing this, Li Cunxu knew that he could not launch a sneak attack and could only choose to attack by force.

He drew his sword, pointed it at Bianzhou City and shouted:

"Soldiers, today is the day to achieve success!!!"

"kill--"

The soldiers of the Jin army rushed towards the city of Bianzhou regardless of their own safety.

Li Cunxiao also took big strides and ran towards the city wall.

He grabbed the wall with his big hands and climbed up quickly.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the city wall hurriedly shot at him with their crossbows.

However, all the crossbow arrows hit Li Cunxiao and were bounced away, unable to break through his defense.

The Liang army soldiers were also a little panicked.

Why haven’t I seen this master before? Has the Jin army been hiding its strength?

This thought occurred to all the soldiers.

They watched helplessly as the nearly three-meter-tall giant rushed up the city wall, and with a wave of his ruthless hand he could take the lives of a group of people.

"what--"

"I have broken my leg!"

"Run! Ordinary swords can't beat that monster!!"

"Save me, don't abandon me, I don't want to die!!!"

The soldiers were so frightened that they cried for their parents, threw away their weapons and armor, and fled madly.

Some generals wanted to stop it but were powerless and could only watch the city walls fall.

There was no choice but to let the soldiers run first, and the generals followed suit when they saw that something was wrong.

They were all a group of ordinary soldiers, how could they withstand the attack of a great master.

In the previous battles between the Jin army and Daliang, Li Cunxiao did not take part in the battle.

One reason was that Li Cunxu wanted to hide him as a secret weapon.

On the other hand, it was also because Li Cunxu was afraid that the masters of the Xuanming Sect would assassinate him.

So, he asked Li Cunxiao to stay by his side and act as his bodyguard.

But now, Li Cunxu has been forced into a desperate situation and naturally can no longer hide.

As expected, with Li Cunxiao there, the Liang army could not resist the attack from the Jin State.

Soon, the city wall on the side of Bianzhou close to the Jin army camp was breached.

The Liang army suffered heavy casualties. Although the Jin army also suffered casualties, it did not affect its overall combat effectiveness.

Li Cunxu was very happy.

Once the city wall was breached, it would be easy to capture Bianzhou.

He strode into the city with his head held high, and killed the Liang army he met with his sword.

"..."

Da da da.

A burst of hurried footsteps sounded outside the palace.

"Report——"

A bloodstained general rushed into the hall, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together and said:

"Your Majesty, the main gate of Bianzhou City was attacked by surprise. The attackers are very skilled in martial arts and most of our troops have been killed or wounded!"

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen was dozing on Shi Yao's legs.

He had just been awakened and was still half asleep.

He was originally sleeping in his bedroom, but suddenly received news that the Jin army was attacking the city.

According to Zhu Youzhen's idea, the Jin army had no way of breaking through the defense of the city wall, so they didn't take it seriously.

But the ministers were all very panicked and gathered in the palace. He had no choice but to come out to take charge of the situation.

Now, hearing the news that more than half of the soldiers were killed or wounded, Zhu Youzhen suddenly came to his senses.

He stood up suddenly and asked, "How many troops did the other side have to break into my imperial city?"

"Your Majesty, although there are not many people, there is a master in the Jin army who suddenly appeared and is extremely powerful. He is invulnerable to swords and spears, and the soldiers can't stop him at all!"

"Hmph! I really have raised a bunch of useless people!!" Zhu Youzhen glared at the generals below the stage.

The general had no choice but to explain: "Your Majesty, calm down. The other party seems to be Li Cunxiao from the Tongwenguan!"

"Li Cunxiao?"

Zhong Xiaokui suddenly explained, "Your Majesty, this man is the Xiao Sect Master of the Tongwen Academy. His power is at the Great Heaven level and he is known as the most powerful in the world. It is not surprising that our army suffered heavy casualties because of him."

"Great Heavenly Position?" A sinister smile appeared on Zhu Youzhen's face.

"Pull out my invincible general cannon and fire it at him. Let me see how powerful the Great Heaven Realm is!!"

"Your Majesty, you must not do this! This is our imperial city! If we open fire rashly, I'm afraid that countless people in the city will be implicated..."

"Go quickly!!"
