Prince Qing's Mansion.

It was raining continuously, and the dense raindrops were like countless silk threads, slanting and drenching the entire Qingwang Palace in the wind.

The palace was dark. Occasionally, lanterns were lit in some places, and they were all strange black shells. Only the upper and lower openings of the lanterns gave out a faint light.

There was no one at the gate, not even the guard guarding the door.

The entire surrounding neighborhood was deserted. There were only a few pedestrians passing by occasionally, but they were all walking in a hurry. Some people even ran forward desperately when passing by this section.

Xiao Zhen, wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat to protect him from the rain, slowly stood in front of the gate of Prince Qing's Mansion.

There was thick gauze tied on his face and a very thick scarf around his neck, which just covered up the weird shape of his white crane head.

"Is this Prince Qing's Mansion?" Although Xiao Zhen has not long since opened his spiritual intelligence, 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 was clear how much power a prince could have.

But the prince's palace in front of him didn't even have a guard, which seemed extremely strange.

After thinking for a while, he slowly walked around to the side of the palace, made a slight leap towards the high wall, and lightly crossed the top of the wall, slowly landing in the small garden overgrown with weeds inside.

Rich families like to build this kind of ornamental garden that is not very practical.

Xiaozhen shook his head slightly and looked around, but he still didn't see anyone.

"Weird." He stood firm and strode towards the main building of the palace.

Instead of following the corridors, he jumped up, crossed the wall, and walked in a straight line.

Soon, Xiao Zhen fell into the second floor of the main building in the middle 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 and grabbed Xiao Zhen with one claw.

"There are still people who dare to break into Prince Qing's Mansion!? I'm going to risk my life!" Along with the response, a sharp and weird sound sounded in the air.

Xiao Zhen turned around in mid-air, strangely avoiding the gray shadow's attack, and at the same time grabbed horizontally with his sharp claws.

Chi! !

The gray shadow suddenly tore into pieces and screamed, turning into countless smoke and dissipating.

Xiaozhen glanced at it, and the situation in the entire hall came into view.

The four walls in the hall were actually covered with densely packed shelves, and the shelves were filled with human heads with their eyes open and laughing.

No matter where he looked, including the ceiling, there were countless heads densely packed together.

The heads appeared to have been treated and showed no signs of corruption.

Several people in gray clothes were sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall, holding some books in their hands. They stood up hurriedly and looked in the direction where Xiao Zhen rushed in.

"kill him!"

The arms of the two men in gray suddenly turned translucent, then lengthened and thickened like noodles, and grabbed Xiao Zhen fiercely.

"Fire Shadow Wind!" Xiao Zhen spun around, and countless claw shadows exploded around him, instantly tearing apart any arm that came close.

Several men in gray screamed and scattered, trying to escape. But he was immediately chased by the town, one by one, and his neck was completely crushed.

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.

"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.

Surprisingly, he is the owner of this place, King Qing.

He smiled and looked at Xiaozhen slowly.

"Are you from Prince Yue's Mansion?" He obviously saw Xiao Zhen's background. That kind of demonic power is exactly the same as that of the demonic crane next to the Moon King.

"Xiao Zhen, I have met His Highness Prince Qing." Xiao Zhen slowly bowed and saluted.

"What is your purpose for breaking into the palace without permission? Tell me." Prince Qing didn't seem to be worried at all about Xiao Zhen's sudden attack on him.

"My master is grateful for your gift to His Highness the Moon King, so he sent me here to give you a gift in return." Xiao Zhen said respectfully.

"Oh? Return gift?" The smile on Prince Qing's face grew stronger and stronger. "How are you going to return the gift?"

"Just like this." Xiaozhen suddenly exerted his strength and rushed towards King Qing like lightning.

But as soon as he got close, he felt as if he had plunged into a viscous swamp, and his movements, strength and speed were greatly affected.

"!!" He tried hard to break free, but the demonic power on his body had no effect at all, and he was quickly swallowed and absorbed by something.

"Poor little guy." A tall swordsman covered in pitch black appeared behind King Qing at some point.

A large number of black mud-like shadows stretched out from the swordsman's body, wrapping Xiaozhen in layers, and in the blink of an eye nothing could be seen.

All that was left in the hall was a boiling ball of black mud.

"A mere little demon actually dares to send him to die." King Qing's expression remained unchanged, with the same weird smile on his face as before.

"Sir, can you let me eat it?" the shadow swordsman asked in a low voice.

"You can eat if you want. Remember to clean up at the end." King Qing said calmly.

"Understood. I'll clean it up next!" The black shadow swordsman said with a hint of excitement in his tone as he slowly walked towards the black ball.

puff! !

In an instant, a crane claw suddenly broke through the black mud and grabbed King Qing hard.

hiss!

The black mud transformed into countless black hands trying desperately to grab the crane's claws, but to no avail. The difference in strength was too great. Before the black hand could grasp it firmly, it was immediately torn apart by the huge force.

Bang! ! !

There was a loud noise, and King Qing was caught off guard and was hit by a claw. His whole body rolled and hit the side wall hard.

At this time, the black mud ball was torn apart like clothes, revealing Xiaozhen who was rapidly expanding inside.

He was originally only two meters tall, but now he was rapidly expanding. The muscles reflected a light 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 could not accommodate his height.

In just a few breaths, Xiao Zhen expanded from an ordinary figure of more than two meters to more than six meters!

Boom! !

With a loud noise, he punched away the approaching black shadow swordsman, and then easily smashed the entire ceiling of the floor.

The upper and lower floors were directly connected, barely able to accommodate his huge figure at this time.

In the dark rainy season, a large number of masonry fragments splashed out in the rain.

boom! !

In the middle of the main building, the wall exploded, and the black shadow swordsman shot out like a cannonball, slamming into the ground of the palace, splashing large amounts of sand and dust.

Bang! Bang!

Xiaozhen slowly walked towards King Qing who was lying on the ground, his huge figure casting a thick shadow, shrouding him in it. Just the sound of every step he took made the whole floor buzz.

"My master, let me say hello to you. Your Highness Prince Qing."

King Qing's head was covered with blood, and he reluctantly raised his head, looking at the huge figure in front of him with a horrified expression.

boom! ! !

There was a loud noise in an instant.

All the walls around the second floor of the main building shattered and collapsed instantly. A shadow giant stretched out its hand from behind Prince Qing out of thin air and blocked Xiaozhen's punch.

The terrifying huge shock completely destroyed the first and second floors in a blink of an eye.

"Kill him! Kill him!! I'm going to cut him into pieces!!" King Qing's crazy screams came out in the loud noise.

The shadow giant and Xiao Zhen flew out of the ruins at the same time and crashed into the palace.

The two fought with all their strength. The giant was five meters tall, but extremely powerful. Xiaozhen was taller than him, but slightly weaker, but had the upper hand in speed.

But when the power gap is not too big, speed dominance becomes the key to victory.

The fists and feet of the two collided, and loud explosions could be heard from every collision. The whole palace buzzed and trembled, and many dust tiles on the eaves were shaken down.

Within ten moves, the shadow giant was hit in the head by a punch. He staggered and fell to the ground.

Xiao Zhen was still chasing, but his eyes caught sight of several other shadow giants rushing towards him not far away. These giants emerged from the walls and floors of the palace one by one, quickly condensed into shape, and rushed towards him.

"Then, see you later." He made a light leap, his figure shrank 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 into the distance, and soon disappeared.

King Qing was lifted up from the ground with a ferocious look on his face.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!" He cursed crazily, his expression distorted, almost completely losing his normal dignity and gentleness as a prince.

"Moon Palace!!!" He gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

"My lord, Vala is dead," a shadow swordsman came over and whispered.

King Qing quickly walked to the shadow giant who was fighting Xiaozhen. At this time, the five-meter-tall shadow giant was shrinking rapidly, and the black shadow on his body was quickly dissipating.

His body size quickly shrank from five meters to three meters, then two meters, then one meter. Finally, he became a dwarf, less than half a meter tall.

"Moon King!!" Qing King looked extremely ugly.

"Sir, do you want to go back for revenge?" the swordsman on the side whispered.

"Trash!" King Qing slapped the swordsman in the face.

The ability to suddenly become stronger, from an ordinary little demon to the level of a demon general in an instant. This is simply it.

"This is a test and a warning." A shadow giant whispered, "Sir, the water is very deep over there at the Moon Palace."

"Don't act rashly for now. When most of the follow-up people arrive, I will leave no chickens or dogs in the Prince's Mansion for the entire month!!" King Qing said coldly.

*****************

Lu Sheng changed his attire and sat on the third floor of the restaurant, slowly sipping the specially made osmanthus wine.

It was raining outside the window, and he was in a late autumn town more than ten miles away from Prince Qing's palace. Drink and wait for news.

This trip injected more than five hundred years of skill into Xiao Zhen. In addition, this was high-quality Qi after deduction, which instantly pushed Xiao Zhen to a level that was difficult for him to evaluate.

So this time when he came here, he also had the idea of ​​observing and comparing Xiao Zhen's strength.

There were not many people in the restaurant, and the third floor was sparsely occupied by a few official officials and businessmen because of the high price. He sat in the corner inconspicuously.

"Father, the operation is over, I'm injured." Suddenly a voice came directly into Lu Sheng's ears, it was Xiao Zhen.

"Is it serious?"

"It's a bit serious. It will take about two days of isolation and recovery. But I also killed one of their masters."

"Thank you for your hard work, please go back first." Lu Sheng said calmly.

"good."

Xiao Zhen's voice slowly faded away.
