The prince is very fierce

It was a dark and windy night.

The ship was anchored in the river bay, and the guards patrolled back and forth on the deck. The laughter of women playing and playing could be heard from time to time in the night.

Lao Yi silently dived from the bottom of the water to the bottom of the ship, jumped onto the top of the ship close to the stern, and listened to the movement in the room below.

From yesterday to today, the three of them watched in the dark for a day. During this period, Xiao Qi came out to hand over to the guards several times, and the maids often showed up, but Queen Cui never came out from beginning to end.

As a secret guard in the palace, he naturally understood Queen Cui. She was lonely and liked to live alone. She had no habit of going out to relax. Even on the ship, it was normal for her to hide in the room alone for several months. If the time was too long, it would be easy to go wrong. Lao Yi could only sneak into the ship and explore by sound.

The ship was not too big. With Lao Yi's skills, it would not take long to explore a circle. If he really couldn't find Queen Cui's whereabouts, he could only retreat temporarily to avoid alerting Xu Buling and making preparations in advance.

Ten feet away from the building ship, behind the bushes on the river beach, Song Ying held a weapon and silently stuck to the ground, almost blending in with the grass and trees. As a master-level expert, it was easy for him to hold his breath for two quarters of an hour, and hiding his body was naturally a piece of cake. He was not discovered by the guards at a distance of ten feet. If there was anything unusual, he could also rush onto the boat and kill the guards with one blow.

Song Ying watched the guards' every move, his expression focused, and waited quietly. But not long after Lao Yi got on the boat, Song Ying's ears suddenly moved slightly, and he heard a "rustling" sound from a distance, as if a snake was crawling over the grass nearby, and the sound was extremely small.

If it were an ordinary person, he would not be able to detect the slight noise mixed in the sound of the river, but Song Ying had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and the people he dealt with were all extremely difficult A-level bandits. He was much more cautious than ordinary people. Just the moment the sense of crisis rose in his heart, the goose feather knife on his waist had already been unsheathed.

Clang

In the dark night, a white rainbow suddenly lit up, and a strong wind rose by the river.

Xu Buling, who had just touched ten feet away, noticed that the black-clothed man in front of him had moved his shoulder, and knew that he had been discovered. Without hesitation, he shook the ground with his feet, and jumped out from a crawling posture. His robe flew horizontally, almost bending the surrounding bushes.

Song Ying unsheathed his goose-feather knife, tapped the ground with his left hand, and the whole person turned over. His movements were experienced and swift. Without turning back, he slashed at the place where the sound came from.

Xu Buling jumped up ten feet away, but rushed to the front in an instant. He unsheathed the single knife in his hand, turned around and slashed it in the air. The most powerful and domineering "Twenty-eight Continuous Knives" he had learned came up.

The horrifying force made Song Ying stagger at the first strike, and he stepped back unsteadily. Before he could turn around, the second strike fell again.

Song Ying's eyes were full of astonishment. He didn't even have a chance to think, and quickly raised his knife to block.

Ding Ding Ding

In the blink of an eye, three knives had already landed on Song Ying's knife, and sparks flew along the river bank.

Until then, the guards on the building ship noticed it, and they all drew their knives and looked towards the river bank.

"On the building ship!"

While Xu Buling attacked like a tide, he shouted loudly, reminding the guards of the palace to pay attention to the top of their heads.

Lao Yi, who was lying on the top of the building ship, had already sensed something was wrong when Song Ying drew his knife, and jumped down from the building like a falcon swooping down on a rabbit.

The guards of the palace on the deck were all the retainers of the Su Wang who had been kept for many years. They might not be masters, but they were not the fish that could be killed by one knife. When they found the strong wind coming from above, they immediately dodged to the side and drew their knives to fight back.

But in an instant, the river bay, which had been calm just now, was full of swords and shadows.

Song Ying made three consecutive slashes and saw clearly that it was Xu Buling in front of him. His face suddenly changed. He was trapped by the 28-way chain knife, and his strength was weaker than Xu Buling. He would be dead or disabled without waiting for the 28 slashes to be completed.

Thinking of this, Song Ying said angrily: "It's Xu Buling!"

"Song Ying?!"

Xu Buling recognized Song Ying from the voice, and his eyes immediately turned cold. He would not hold back at all, and the blade was like rain, and every slash went straight to the vital point.

On the ship, Lao Yi, who was fighting with three swords, found Xu Buling nearby and knew that he had been tricked. The primary goal of this trip was to kill Queen Cui. He did not assassinate Xu Buling because he was not sure and was afraid of failing to alert the enemy. Compared with Queen Cui, Xu Buling's value was obviously much higher. Now that he was in front of her, he didn't have to think about what to do.

Lao Yi held the knife in both hands, and the third knife was tied to the braid behind his head. In just two or three moves, he forced the guards to retreat, jumped off the deck of the building, and smashed towards Xu Buling like a mountain.

The twenty-eight-way chain knife was created by the knife leader Situ Yuejin. It is fierce and domineering, and only attacks but not defends. When the strength is similar, it is almost invincible in a single fight. But the disadvantage is that it can only lock one person, and someone intervenes and the combo breaks itself.

Sensing the cold coming from behind, Xu Buling chopped the knife to the back with a single knife, and the left hand sword was unsheathed at the same time, blocking the two knives on the left and right.

Lao Yi saw the opportunity and his eyes turned cold. He shook his head suddenly, and the straight knife dragging on his hair turned into a steel whip in an instant, swept from the side, and chopped Xu Buling's neck.

Being able to rank below Jia Gonggong in the emperor's guards, Lao Yi's martial arts attainments have long been superb. The third knife is no different from holding it in his hand. When fighting against someone, it is equivalent to having three hands. Ordinary warriors don’t even know how to defend.

Song Ying, who was knocked back by the blow and had not yet stabilized, was overjoyed when he saw this scene. It was true that Xu Buling was a master of martial arts, but he only had two hands. He held the sharp blades with both hands to defend against the two knives, and there was nothing to block the third knife. Even if he didn't die, he would at least be seriously injured.

However, the joy in Song Yu's eyes just appeared, and it turned into astonishment in an instant.

Xu Buling, who was unable to defend himself with his hands blocking the knife, turned his head and bit the flying blade.

The cold straight knife could have cut off half of Xu Buling's head if it had moved forward half an inch, but it stopped abruptly in front of Xu Buling.

The dangerous scene frightened Ning Qingye, who was watching from a distance.

Lao Yi had lived for more than 50 years, and this was the first time he encountered such a broken move. Although he was stunned, his movements were not slow at all. He quickly turned his head and tried to pull the straight knife back, cutting off half of Xu Buling's face.

It was just that when the top warriors fought, being broken meant being passive.

The moment Xu Buling bit the long knife, he used his hands to block the two knives, and lightly tapped his toes to rise from the ground. The extremely powerful Bajiquan "Tiger Mountain Climbing" had already reached Lao Yi's chest.

Bang

The next moment the two men fought hand-to-hand, Lao Yi's tall body was knocked into the air.

Xu Buling cut off the hair that bound the straight sword with a backhanded knife, and threw the long sword in his left hand with all his strength to pierce Lao Yi's heart. At the same time, he grasped the handle of the straight sword that he had bitten, and swung the two swords like the wind, slashing Lao Yi's vital points all over his body.

The situation reversed in an instant, and Lao Yi's eyes showed shock. He had expected Xu Buling's martial arts to be strong, but he had never expected it to be so strong. Compared with the crazy Xu Buling who ascended the Dragon Platform in previous years, it was a world of difference.

Lao Yi's face turned blue after being hit by a knee in the chest. After raising his knife to slash the flying long sword, he tried his best to parry the double swords slashed by Xu Buling.

Song Ying in the back barely stabilized, and the situation in front of him had become Lao Yi being beaten one-sidedly. He flew forward without hesitation, and the blade went straight to Xu Buling's back.

Seeing Song Ying approaching, Xu Buling spun out and slashed behind him with a straight sword, and at the same time caught the long sword falling from the sky and continued to hit Lao Yi.

Two masters of the Grandmaster level, and not masters like Tang Jiao who were just filling in the numbers, it was obviously impossible for Xu Buling to kill them instantly without any effort, but Xu Buling was not going to fight alone.

The guards of the palace had already jumped off the ship and surrounded them from all directions. Ning Qingye also came nearby with a weapon and pressed towards Song Ying from behind.

Ten guards of the palace would definitely not be able to beat Lao Yi and Song Ying in a single fight, but with Xu Buling's powerful weapon, as long as one of them could be restrained, it would be a matter of time before the other one was killed.

Seeing that he was surrounded, Lao Yi deliberately slowed down a little when Xu Buling's blade stabbed at him, causing the straight knife to stab through his ribs.

Kaka

Xu Buling thrust out his knife, but found that the feel was not right, and his heart was chilled:

"Run!"

The moment the words came out, the porcelain bottle that was pierced under Lao Yi's ribs burst out a large ball of thick black mist, which enveloped the three people fighting. The river bank was suddenly filled with ghostly air...
