Under the night sky, the clear surface of the pond was reflected in darkness, like a huge black stone. The lotus flowers growing on it lost the color of the day, like lifelike carvings on the black stone.
Ripples appeared from the corridor at the edge of the pond. It was silent. First, a head, then an arm grabbed the stone steps, and then the entire body came out of the pond.
With the wind enveloping his entire body, Yun Xichen's entire body was only wet in a few places, but it did not affect his movements that might be exposed due to the water stains.
He recalled what Bai Ling had said. Back then, he was blindfolded and brought into a house. He heard the sound of water nearby. She must have been talking about this pond.
Damn it, the information he had was still too little! Yun Xichen touched his chin and looked around. There was no one. Yun Xichen took out a copper coin from his pocket and threw it into the sky.
With a crisp sound, Yun Xichen looked down at the copper coins on the ground and was speechless for a while. What are you doing standing there? Which way should I go? How unlucky!
Through the cloak, Yun Xichen scratched his head and looked in the direction with the least light. It was the left!
Before Yun Xichen could move, a team of guards with long knives ran over.
"Who's there? Stop right there!"
F * ck! Yun Xichen cursed in her heart. She had actually been discovered!
He stood there obediently and did not move. The hand under the cloak had already quietly gripped the hilt of his sword, waiting for the guards to approach.
A group of six guards had just reached Yun Xichen when he suddenly disappeared in front of them. It was probably because their eyes could not keep up with Yun Xichen's speed.
Two slashes of light and shadow, a total of six slashes, all accurately aimed at their necks, cutting open their throats so that they could not speak.
The fact that they were below middle-level demons was Yun Xichen's evaluation of their strength. They were nothing in front of a demon king like him.
Yun Xichen did not understand. With such little strength to guard the demons who were hiding somewhere, weren't the Ding Family and the Heavenly Immortal Academy afraid of something happening?
Yun Xichen felt relieved when he thought of the demon-subduing talismans. Most of the demons that the Qi Alliance could capture were below the level of demon monarchs. As a demon monarch, it was naturally a piece of cake for him to deal with these people. However, they only had the strength of a middle-level demon or even a small-level demon. In addition, the demon race with their demon power sealed would really be unable to escape if they faced them.
After dragging the corpses into a hidden corner, Yun Xichen started Stealth again.
After circling around the Ding residence like a headless fly, Yun Xichen realized that he could not find the enemy who was imprisoning the demons. He could not even find any traces of the demons. Did he miss something? Or did he find the wrong place?
Stopping in a dark corner, Yun Xichen fell into deep thought.
Yun Xichen heard a slight movement and immediately stopped thinking. He listened carefully to the sounds around him.
The sound was intermittent and difficult to catch. It seemed that the person had come with some thoughts and was carefully hiding his tracks.
Yun Xichen, who did not want to cause trouble, held his breath and was ready to wait for this unknown guy to leave before taking action. In the end, he heard the voice stop not far from him.
Looking up slowly, Yun Xichen saw a figure that was neither tall nor short squatting on the roof above him. He was wrapped up tightly, and a pair of sharp ginger yellow eyes were staring at him with murderous intent.
The corner of Yun Xichen's mouth twitched. Did he think he was the Ding family's guard or secret guard?
Thinking about it carefully, this was very possible!
Just as he was about to explain to the guy in front of him using the secret sound transmission method, Yun Xichen did not expect this guy to directly fight him.
A black steel claw descended from the sky and shone on Yun Xichen's head. He had no doubt that the swift and fierce speed was meant to kill him in one blow.
Afraid of being exposed, Yun Xichen did not use his sword to block the attack. Instead, he chose to dodge to the side. However, Yun Xichen underestimated his opponent's speed. The steel claws still tore through the cloak on one side of his shoulder, and sparks jumped down, leaving three invisible claw marks on his shoulder armor.
Before Yun Xichen could stand firm, a second claw slashed at his throat.
Yun Xichen took a step forward and blocked it with his left wrist guard. His right hand clenched into a fist and hit the other party's face.
Unexpectedly, the other party immediately turned to the side and slashed at Yun Xichen's throat again with the steel claw in his other hand.
You haven't played yet? Yun Xichen gave up on defending and let his body fall freely. When he was close to the ground, he slapped left and right and slid to the right.
As they stood up, Yun Xichen and the other party were ready for battle.
"I really didn't expect that there would be an expert like you in the Ding Residence.”His voice was very strange. It was not from his throat, but more like his stomach was vibrating.
"Listen, I don't want any trouble," Yun Xichen's voice was very low. He was afraid that he would attract the guards nearby, so he said sincerely in a negotiating tone," I still have my own things to do. Just pretend that I've never seen you, okay?”
The other party's response was only one sentence filled with hatred.”
"Dammit!" Yun Xichen was forced to pull out his sword to block the steel claw that had returned to him.
Wind Whispering Willow!
Three Swords, who walked the feminine path, successfully blocked the steel claw and deflected the opponent's attack to the side.
"Listen, I'm not from the Ding Residence!”Yun Xichen still did not give up trying to convince him.
Yun Xichen responded with an even more violent combo.
The opponent was very skilled in using the steel claws. The interval between each move was very short, almost negligible. Yun Xichen tried his best to keep up with his rhythm. The result of being suppressed by the opponent was that Yun Xichen's body was hit many times, but under the protection of the armor, Yun Xichen did not suffer any real damage.
Once again, she blocked the opponent's attack. Yun Xichen heard a wave of noisy footsteps approaching. Thinking about it, it made sense. They had been fighting here for so long. If the people from the Ding Residence did not notice, they would really be a bunch of good-for-nothings.
Glancing at the torches surrounding them, Yun Xichen advised," Stop. We're in trouble."”
" It's mine!" The other party roared in a low voice.”
Yun Xichen lowered his sword and turned to the guards who had rushed over. He corrected them," It's our problem. I told you I'm not one of them."”
He looked at Yun Xichen's exposed back. If he wanted to, he could easily stab his steel claws into his neck through the gaps in his armor and kill him. He turned to look at the Ding family's guards and decided to trust Yun Xichen for the time being. He would keep an eye on him and kill him immediately if he made any strange movements!
The guards surrounded them, but they did not attack. They were waiting for something. Perhaps they were higher-ups of the Ding Clan, or perhaps they were reinforcements from the Yi Qi Dao Alliance.
Yun Xichen did not know that tonight's night scouting operation was definitely ruined. She felt inexplicably tired.
Alright then, he hoped that when he charged out later, it wouldn't affect the 'coming out' of the Heaven Immortal Academy three days later. If he was recognized on the spot, he wouldn't be able to escape even if he had wings.
After a while, an old man with a big belly wearing silk appeared in Yun Xichen's line of sight. Yun Xichen had once looked at him from afar and would not mistake him for the Ding family's old master. He looked quite fat and had a ruddy complexion, but in reality, he was just a fellow whose body had been hollowed out. He was only holding on by relying on the strength of a Middle Demon.
Yun Xichen was puzzled. How did this old man have the strength of a middle demon?
Old Master Ding stroked his beard and asked slowly," Who are you?”
There was no response. Yun Xichen glanced around and confirmed the escape route.
"Then kill them all. The Ding family is not to be offended.”Old Master Ding waved his hand indifferently and turned to leave.
A violent sword qi instantly swept out towards the guards of the Ding residence, devouring everyone, including Old Master Ding.
