The prince is very fierce

The winter night was quiet, the palace, which encompassed half of Yuhuang Mountain, was brightly lit, and the outer house was still filled with the noise of guests.

After Xu Buling and Xiao Qi separated, they came to the West Lake, changed into night clothes in a secluded place, jumped into the tall wall of the Wu Wang Mansion from the dark, and walked towards the back house from the top of the building.

Handing over the jade pendant was naturally to see what the King of Wu was looking for. Since the King of Wu was in a hurry to leave, he must have made thorough preparations in advance to test the authenticity of the jade. If he didn't check it at this time, it would be too late when the King of Wu returned after using the jade.

The palace was huge, but the King of Wu was inconvenient to move, so he had to take a sedan chair to walk in the palace. Xu Buling crawled on the top of the gorgeous building, and with his extraordinary hearing and vision, he soon found the King of Wu Song Siming sitting on the carved sedan chair in the distant corridor.

Song Siming held two jades in his hands, with a very cautious expression. Next to him was the counselor Han Xianchu, holding two wooden boxes in his hands. If he guessed correctly, they contained a sword tassel and another jade. Wang Zouyin of the Wang family in Hangzhou also walked in front.

The distance was too far to hear what was said, so Xu Buling followed silently in the dark. Soon, the sedan chair arrived at a three-story viewing building by the lake. There were soldiers and armor outside the building, and the people accompanying were left outside.

Xu Buling observed carefully, and with his extraordinary lightness and insight, he bypassed the guards' sight, came to the bottom of the viewing platform along the lake, hooked his five fingers directly into the beams, climbed up silently, listened to the footsteps inside to determine the location, and finally stopped outside the room on the top floor.

Xu Buling knew that there must be masters around, so he held his breath and carefully scratched a tiny gap on the window paper, and took a look inside - the large room was very empty, with a shelf in the middle, full of candles and bronze mirrors, and rice paper in the middle of the shelf.

In addition to the seated King Wu, Han Xianchu and Wang Zouyin stood near the shelf, and there was a middle-aged man in a scholar's robe standing next to him, with his back to him and his hands behind his back. If Xu Buling hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would not have thought that there was a fourth person in the room, who looked like a top master.

"Let's start."

King Wu sat on the couch, rubbing his fingers, staring at the wooden shelf intently.

The middle-aged man in a scholar's robe took out four jades, the last one was a jade bracelet. The four jades were placed in different positions on the shelf, and he flicked his fingers to light the fire stick, and lit the candles one by one.

As the candlelight lit up, the room became much brighter. The light was refracted by the bronze mirror and gathered on the jade, causing the shadows of the four jades to fall on the rice paper. Because the jades had different light transmission effects, the shadows were also different in brightness, and some fine lines could be vaguely seen in the shadows.

The middle-aged scholar carefully adjusted for a moment, and after making sure that the shadows were all clear, he took out a brush and carefully drew the lines on the rice paper.

The room was silent, with only the slight sound of the brush tip passing through the paper, and everyone focused their attention on the rice paper.

Since Xu Buling had not discovered the middle-aged scholar beforehand, it meant that the other party's internal breath might be longer than his, so he didn't even breathe in and out, holding his breath and squinting his eyes to check.

In the room, Wang Zouyin frowned and looked for a moment, then said in doubt: "The terrain looks like Youzhou Bodhi Island. The clan has been here for business before..."

When King Wu heard this, he frowned slightly: "Youzhou... where exactly is it?"

The shadows are more complicated, and once the pen is put down, it will block the light. The painting is not fast, and it took half a quarter of an hour to draw the general outline. Zuo Zhexian's seclusion must have arranged a lot of maze-like tricks like the old man in Yuelu Mountain, and the correct route was not drawn so quickly.

Xu Buling held his breath for a quarter of an hour, his face began to turn blue, but his expression did not change. He still held the brick wall with his five fingers and stuck to the window to wait for the result carefully.

But when Xu Buling was watching in a trance, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and found something wrong.

It was the slight signs before the danger came, which were enough for the top warriors to notice. Xu Buling did not care about being discovered by the people in the room, and pushed the wall without hesitation, pushing his body out of the air.

The next moment, the cold light in front of him shocked the sun and the moon, like a cloud dragon entering the bay.

A white afterimage flashed past the place where he was just now. There was no sound, and the sharp sword had already smashed the entire window. It was so fast that it was shocking. If Xu Buling was a little slower, he would have been torn to pieces on the spot.

Xu Buling had been in this world for a few years, but this was the first time he was frightened and almost lost his position. His heartbeat was several times faster in an instant. The sword was so fast that it was obvious that he was not inferior to Xue Chengzhi. Xu Buling could not fight with others in a dragon's den. He didn't even have time to see the white shadow, and he stepped on the wall and fell directly into the deep lake below.

Plop——

After falling into the water, Xu Buling's body turned into a black arrow and fled from the bottom of the water. The speed was so fast that a white line that could be seen spreading outward on the water surface was drawn by the naked eye.

"Who——"

The window exploded and the sound of falling water came almost at the same time. Only then did the people in the house shout in shock and anger, and the soldiers downstairs turned around in confusion.

Xu Buling jumped more than ten feet in the icy lake water in the blink of an eye, poked his head out of the water, looked back at the situation, and the scene he saw was horrifying.

On the brightly lit observation deck, two figures leaped out one after the other. The sharp sword of one of them almost blocked the moonlight, and the sound of the sword was like a dragon's roar in the sky.

The other person, the middle-aged scholar, was almost ghostly. He leaped into the air without making any sound, but his speed was even faster than that of the swordsman. He was obviously a top-notch internal martial arts master.

Two afterimages rushed out from the viewing platform, and under the black sky, rushed towards Xu Buling who was swimming away from the lakeshore at a high speed.

Tap, tap, tap——

Although he was in the water, Xu Buling heard clear footsteps. He looked back in a hurry, but saw that the two guards who rushed out were directly stepping on the water surface, and their speed was not much slower than running on land.

! !

Xu Buling's eyes showed some astonishment. He followed the external martial arts style. His swords, spears, swords and fists all emphasized opening and closing, fierce and domineering. He practiced Baji instead of Taiji, and was not very good at the internal martial arts of floating on water. As far as he knew, even a skilled fighter who used the inner family's skills couldn't run so far on water. A hundred steps at most, and it would consume a lot of energy. It was really scary that the two of them were walking on flat ground.

Although it was very dark and he couldn't see who was chasing him in the water, Xu Buling recognized that the one using the sword must be his father-in-law Zhu Liu. He swam in the lake at an astonishing speed like a black bar in the waves. Although his posture was not as handsome as his father-in-law's, his speed was much faster, and he was more practical...
