Qingwang Mansion.
It was raining continuously, and the dense rain was like countless silk threads, slanting with the wind and drenching the entire Qingwang Mansion.
The palace was dark, and occasionally some places were lit with lanterns, all of which had strange pitch-black shells, only the upper and lower openings of the lanterns could faintly reveal a glimmer of light.
There was no one at the gate, not even a guard guarding the gate.
The entire neighborhood around was even more deserted, only occasionally a few pedestrians passed by, but they all walked in a hurry, and some even ran forward desperately when passing by.
Wearing a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat, Xiaozhen slowly stood in front of the gate of Prince Qing's Mansion.
Thick gauze was tied on his face, and a very thick scarf was wrapped around his neck, which just covered up the strange shape of his white crane head.
"This is Prince Qing's Mansion?" Although Xiao Zhen has recently opened up his spiritual wisdom, his experience is not low. He has flown to many places before, and has seen many people and things. Naturally, he is not an ignorant person.
It is very clear how much power a prince can have.
But the prince's mansion in front of him didn't even have a defense, which seemed extremely strange.
After thinking for a while, he slowly walked around to the side of the palace, leaped lightly towards the high wall, and his whole body lightly jumped over the top of the wall, and slowly landed in the small garden overgrown with weeds.
Rich families like to build this kind of ornamental gardens that are not practical.
Xiao Zhenzhen shook his head slightly, looked around, but still saw no one.
"It's strange." He stood firm and strode towards the main building of the palace.
Instead of following the corridors around and around, but jumping straight up, meeting the wall and crossing the wall, walking in a straight line.
Soon, Xiaozhen fell into the second floor of the main building in the center of the palace, and floated in along the eaves.
"Who!?" Suddenly, a loud shout came from the hall on the second floor.
In an instant, a gray shadow swooped out, clawing at Xiao Zhen.
"Someone actually dares to break into Prince Qing's Mansion!? Don't die!" Accompanied by the response, a sharp and strange voice resounded in mid-air.
Xiaozhen turned over in mid-air, avoiding the gray shadow culling strangely, and at the same time clawed horizontally with his sharp claws.
Chi! !
The gray shadow was torn apart suddenly, and it turned into countless smoke and dissipated with a scream.
Xiaozhen swept his eyes, and the situation of the whole hall came into view.
On the four walls of the hall, there are actually densely packed shelves, all of which are filled with heads of people with open eyes and laughing.
No matter where the line of sight sweeps, including the ceiling, there are countless densely packed heads.
The heads appear to have been processed without any signs of corruption.
A few men in gray clothes were sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall, holding some books in their hands, they were hurriedly getting up and looking in the direction where Xiao Zhen rushed in.
"kill him!"
The arms of the two men in gray suddenly turned translucent, then stretched like noodles, thickened, and grabbed Xiao Zhen fiercely.
"Strong shadows and strong winds!" Xiaozhen spun, and countless claw shadows exploded around him, instantly tearing apart any arms that approached.
Several gray-clothed men screamed a few times, trying to escape in all directions. But he was caught up by the town right away, clawing at him one by one, and crushed his neck completely.
There was no smell of blood in the air, and there was no blood in the body of the dead man in gray. It quickly faded and disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
"This place..." Xiao Zhen frowned.
"I didn't expect that someone would dare to break into my Prince Qing's Mansion." A chubby figure walked in from the stairs at the entrance of the hall.
It is the owner here, King Qing.
With a smile on his face, he slowly looked at Xiaozhen.
"You...are from the Moon Palace?" He obviously saw Xiaozhen's background. That kind of demon power, inherited in one continuous line, is exactly the same as the demon crane beside Moon King.
"Xiaozhen, I have met His Royal Highness Prince Qing." Xiaozhen bowed slowly.
"What is your purpose for trespassing on the palace? Let's talk about it." Prince Qing didn't seem to be worried at all about Xiaozhen's sudden attack on him.
"My master felt your gift to His Royal Highness Yue Wang, and specially sent me to return the gift to you." Xiaozhen said respectfully.
"Oh? Return the gift?" The smile on Prince Qing's face grew wider and wider. "How are you going to return the gift?"
"It's like... like this." Xiaozhen exerted all his strength, and his whole body rushed towards King Qing like lightning.
But as soon as he got close, he felt as if he had plunged into a sticky swamp, and his movements, strength and speed were greatly affected.
"!!" He tried hard to break free, but the demon power on his body didn't work at all, and he was quickly swallowed and absorbed by something.
"Poor little guy..." At some point behind Prince Qing, a tall swordsman covered in pitch black appeared.
A large number of black mud-like shadows stretched out from the swordsman's body, enveloping Xiaozhen layer by layer, and he couldn't see anything in a blink of an eye.
All that was left in the hall was a ball of boiling black mud.
"It's just a little monster, how dare you send it to die..." King Qing's expression remained unchanged, with the same weird smile on his face as before.
"My lord...can you let me eat it?" the shadow swordsman asked in a low voice.
"Eat as much as you want. Remember to clean up at the end." Qing Wang said lightly.
"Understood... I will clean it up next time!" The black shadow swordsman walked slowly towards the black ball with a hint of excitement in his tone.
puff! !
In an instant, a crane's claw broke through the black mud and grabbed Qing Wang fiercely.
hiss!
The black mud turned into countless black hands, desperately trying to grab the crane's claws, but to no avail. The difference in strength was too great, and before the black hand could grasp it firmly, it was immediately pulled and torn apart by the huge force.
Boom! ! !
With a loud noise, Prince Qing was caught off guard, and was hit hard with his claws, and his whole body rolled and hit the side wall hard.
At this time, the ball of black mud was torn apart like a piece of clothing, revealing the rapidly expanding Xiaozhen inside.
He was originally only two meters tall, but now he was rapidly expanding. A piece of muscle reflected a faint luster like metal.
His arms seemed to be wrapped with countless steel cables, and the gray and black veins were exposed. The small hall soon couldn't accommodate his height.
In just a few breaths of effort, Xiaozhen expanded from an ordinary figure of more than two meters to more than six meters!
Boom! !
With a loud noise, he slammed his fist, smashing away the pounced black shadow swordsman, and then smashed the ceiling of the entire floor with ease.
The upper and lower floors were directly opened up, barely able to accommodate his huge figure at this time.
In the dark plum rain, a large number of masonry fragments splashed out in the rain.
boom! !
The wall in the middle of the main building exploded, and the shadow swordsman shot out like a shell, smashing into the ground of the palace, splashing a large amount of sand and dust.
Boom! Boom!
Xiaozhen walked slowly towards King Qing who was lying on the ground, and a thick shadow was cast from his huge figure, covering him in it. Just the sound of his every step made the whole floor buzz.
"My master, let me say hello to you. Your Highness Prince Qing."
Prince Qing's head was covered with blood, he barely raised his head, and looked at the huge figure in front of him in horror.
boom! ! !
Suddenly there was a loud noise.
All the walls around the second floor of the main building were instantly shattered and collapsed. A shadow giant stretched out his hand from behind King Qing out of thin air, and blocked the punch from Xiao Zhen's hammer.
The terrifying huge shock completely collapsed the second floor of this floor in a blink of an eye.
"Kill him! Kill him!! I'll cut him into pieces!!" King Qing's frantic screams came out amidst the loud noise.
The shadow giant and Xiaozhen flew out of the ruins at the same time, and fell hard into the palace.
The two fought with all their strength, the giant was five meters tall, but extremely strong, Xiao Zhen was taller than him, but weaker in strength, but had an advantage in speed.
But in the case that the power gap is not too large, the speed advantage becomes the key to the victory.
The fists and feet of the two collided, and every time they collided, there was a huge explosion sound. The shock caused the entire palace to buzz and tremble everywhere, and many sand and dust tiles on the eaves were shaken and rolled down.
However, after dozens of moves, the shadow giant was hit in the head with a punch, and the whole person staggered and fell to the ground.
Xiao Zhen still wanted to hunt down, but his eyes caught sight of several other shadow giants rushing towards him not far away. These giants emerged from the wall of the palace one by one, quickly condensed into shape, and rushed towards him.
"Then, there will be a period later." He leaped lightly, his body shrunk rapidly, his hands turned into wings and flapped, and in a blink of an eye, he landed on the periphery of the palace in an arc, swept away to the distance, and soon disappeared.
Prince Qing was lifted up from the ground, his face full of ferociousness.
"Damn! Damn, damn, damn!!" He cursed crazily, his face contorted, and he had almost completely lost the dignity and gentleness that he usually had as a prince.
"Moon Palace!!!" He gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.
"My lord... Vala is dead..." A shadow swordsman approached and whispered.
King Qing quickly walked to the shadow giant who was fighting with Xiaozhen. At this time, the five-meter-high shadow giant was shrinking rapidly, and the black shadow on his body was rapidly dissipating.
The size quickly shrank from five meters to three meters, two meters, one meter... and finally became a dwarf who was less than half a meter.
"Moon King!!" King Qing's expression was extremely ugly.
"My lord... Do you want to take revenge?" the swordsman beside him whispered.
"Trash!" King Qing slapped the swordsman on the face.
That kind of ability that suddenly becomes stronger, rushes from an ordinary little monster to a monster general level in an instant. It's just... .
"This is a temptation, but also a warning." A shadow giant whispered, "My lord, the water at the Moon Palace is also very deep."
"Don't act rashly for the time being, when most of the follow-ups are ready, I want the entire Yuewang Mansion to be left alone!!" Qing Wang said coldly.
Lu Sheng changed his attire and sat on the third floor of the restaurant, slowly tasting the special sweet-scented osmanthus wine here.
It was raining outside the window, and he was in a late autumn town more than ten miles away from King Qing's mansion. Waiting for news while drinking.
This trip injected Xiaozhen with more than 500 years of skill, and this was the high-quality zhenqi after deduction, which instantly pushed Xiaozhen to a level that he was not easy to evaluate.
So this trip, he also had the idea of observing and comparing Xiaozhen's strength.
There were not many people in the restaurant, and because of the high price, there were a few officials and businessmen sparsely seated on the third floor. He sat unremarkably in the corner.
"Father, the operation is over, I'm injured." Suddenly a voice came straight into Lu Sheng's ears, it was Xiaozhen.
"Is it serious?"
"It's a bit serious. It will take about two days to isolate and heal. But I also killed one of their masters."
"Thank you, go back first." Lu Sheng said lightly.
"good."
Xiaozhen's voice slowly dissipated.
