Book 19 Chapter 6 – Hostage Exchange

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong crouched on the roof of theup their ears and listening carefully to , they craned their neck to look at the target building about thirty zhang away fros were separated by a pond, a brook, coe across it, and a pathway paved with bluestone slabs

On the seonal palace lanterns hanging every ten steps or so, illu it the illusion that the as translucent Worst yet, there were light towers on all four corners of the building, which, coht illu the situation, Kou Zhong said, “We have to ju to avoid the light tower casting its light on us and creating shadow on the wall Are you still that confident?”

Before Xu Ziling could answer, voices and footsteps were heard

The two boys pro at the source of the noise

They saw a group of people walking along the corridor on the other side of the building toward the xiang and Lang Feng The rest were i with head, with face], who the birthday celebration

The tere greatly disappointed Could it be that the one riding the carriage earlier was Lang Feng? Although he usually rode a horse, if he wanted to avoid people’s eyes and ears, riding a carriage was not out of question at all

They looked on helplessly as one after another the other side entered the main hall; dejected as if they already failed

With rueful s Lang Feng won’t havebetter than I do”

“Don’t you want to listen to thehed and said, “I doubt there is anything good to listen to It will be nothingwith business hardshi+p will always be the cohing floated by from behind

The two turned their heads to look, another group of people, with four lantern-bearing warriors leading the alking leisurely along the gravel path cutting through the yard toward the building the two boys were hiding

Theplants swaying in the breeze, Rong Jiaojiao; but the one attracting their attention thethe two boys pleased beyond their expectation, ang Xuanying, alking intimately by her side

Indeed it was the best alternative countless tiroup of warriors, ere escorting the carriage earlier, were lagging several steps behind; everybody looked perfectly relaxed, obviously no one would expect the ene for thelances; with tacit understanding they both knehat to do Pulling down their et was getting closer

They heard wang Xuanying said, “Presently one after another Li Mi’shith If we take over Heyang, Li Mi won’t even have a place to escape anyathered their energy, ready to strike

Since wang shi+chong selected this group of warriors to protect his treasured son, they must have real skill Once they struck and failed, they would be in very big trouble

Kou Zhong signaled with his hand, telling Xu Ziling that he would capture wang Xuanying, while Xu Ziling would deal with the rest of the voice twittered coyly, “This ti his triu his forave him authority over the whole country Jiaojiao does not kno to express my happiness for you!”

So pleased as he seehed aloud and said, “It was entirely due to Fu Huang’s faking-injury-to-lure-the-ene to hi Xuanying was about four zhang away fro, the exact position ainst the surface of the roof, his entire body slid down the back of inverted V-shaped roof, and shot like an arroang Xuanying He applied his internal strength to control the fluttering of his clothes, so that like a vicious fish attacking its prey in the deep sea, without creating any noise, he dove on his target down below

Xu Zilingto the sky, heto pounce on the ene above, and at an angle fro, the first to react to the two boys’ unexpected attack was surprisingly not wang Xuanying, or any one of theJiaojiao

She raised her pretty face up, and as soon as she saw Kou Zhong, her pair of beautiful eyes lit up with strange light, while like ic, a sword appeared in her hand and created a flash of sword light to ’s Moon in the Well head on Her reaction was fast, her sword move was ruthless and well-trained Even with his level of skill, Kou Zhong was still at a loss of what to do, since her action has upset the overall situation

It was only then did wang Xuanying and the group of uards realize that there were assassins dropping down from the sky Not only that, the assassins were two top eneration Shocked, they hastily drew their weapons while whistling a warning, urgently su Mansion to coht flash of sword qi dashi+ng up to the sky, Kou Zhong was sohimself

It should be noted that theof opportunity to kidnap wang Xuanying was extreed to hold him, even for only the blink of an eye, the entire situation would be reversed Theyfor the lives in panic, or else they would regret of coet about provokingand Lang Feng in the other building rushed out, they would not get the desired outco accuracy, tih to e his move, so he could only e

wang Xuanying has already started to run to the side, while the expert personal guards were closing in to protect hiht and sword’s shadow flashed, battle cry filled the sky

The moment it seemed like their enterprise would be ruined for the sake of a basketful, Xu Ziling, who started later but arrived sooner, flashed past Kou Zhong His head down his feet up, both pal Jiaojiao’s sword net

As he and Kou Zhong brushed past each other, Xu Ziling backhandedly pushed Kou Zhong

Originally Kou Zhong could not alter his ’s push, he so Xuanying’s head and face, who, by this ti away

Cold, swift and severe spiraling saber power co hi his sword to block

‘Bang!’

Rong Jiaojiao cried out tenderly, as Xu Ziling’s left and right palm slammed onto the blade of her sword in succession, and violent spiraling energy entered the left part of her body before circling to the right, jolting her that her meridians were nearly thrown into disorder Shocked, she flew sideways to evade, and thus lost the opportunity to rescue wang Xuanying

Xu Ziling was shocked as well

Until today, anybody who y for the first time had never been able to produce qi power of their own; everybody would suffer a little bit

Moreover, he was using left and right hand in sequence to ingeniously reverse the flow of his true qi Based on his calculation, she would have to dispose her weapon Who would have thought that not only it did not happen as he expected, she was also able to exploit the reaction force to evade sideways? From this, it was obvious how brilliant her hter was like this, the fatherwas indeed not a si struck the Moon in the Well with all his strength, but instead of clear ring of ainst each other, the sound was as dull as if he was striking leather; without producing reaction force at all

I’s soul fleay and scattered No ’s saber was full of strength; ould have thought that it looked i and fluttering without any strength at all

This feeling of using the wrong force was as unco to lift a heavy-looking object, only to find that it was as light as a feather
