Can I not speak thusly?”
Everyone looked away, trying to avoid laughing aloud Xiaoshunzi’s expression was still as icy as before He did not have a favorable impression of Qiao Yan’er and co reat if he could kill all of them Were it not for the obstacle that his appearance would inevitably become known by everyone, he could not hit a person as down It was likely that he would have to kill these people one day Glancing at Priest Bitter Ba his inally should also kill you today However,back to Southern Chu Since your identity has already been revealed, this matter will be handed to you”
Priest Bitter Bamboo did not mock Xiaoshunzi’s words Froun to search for a hole in Xiaoshunzi’s defenses However, even though Xiaoshunzi was sile flaw on his entire body
Glancing at the sky for the tihed and rued, “The mist enfolds the tower and pavilion, thescenery Alas, Lord Black, you won’t be able to see this again”
Finished speaking, his figure—like the void, like an illusion—pounced towards Vicious Killer Already knowing that his life hung in the balance, Vicious Killer straightened andits wings The two e blows, but there wasn’t the slightest sound Apparently, the two enious and sinister In over a dozen exchanges, each and every one was attacking and required defending They spun in circles, strangely not truly touching the ground The two fought ferociously, whirling over and over in the space of one all the spectators to be dazzled Although there wasn’t a single sound, the killing auras in the blasts of wind created by the strikes were increasingly heavy In this way, the two fought for about one hundred exchanges Suddenly, the two figures stoppedone another Xiaoshunzi’s expression was aloof and composed, while Vicious Killer looked ashen The clothes covering his chest had been ripped to pieces, revealing several claounds With one look, everyone could tell that he was on the back foot Although the two stood silently, the tension between the two in the air increasingly intensified like a taut bowstring In the end, Vicious Killer could no longer endure it, letting out a harsh cry, his co several times Suddenly, blood burst forth fro

Xiaoshunzi cruelly sh the De cala this skill tithin two months, it seems that even if you return to Southern Chu, you will not live long”
Vicious Killer callously responded, “Although your master has matchless ability and talent, if he does not have your protection, then he is no h I could not kill hi as I am able to kill you, then I will have snapped off one of his ar your master will be much easier”
Xiaoshunzi blanched It had not occurred to hi about assassinating the young master His bloodlust swelled At this moment, Vicious Killer had already bounded towards hireatly different Xiaoshunzi seemed to have no opportunity to retaliate and could only rely upon his strangefor some time, everyone closed their eyes Curiously, the two co movements caused them to feel dizzy After a while, Xiaoshunzi suddenly took a deep breath of essential ht as a feather, niales created by Vicious Killer’s attacks Suddenly, Xiaoshunzi ascended high into the sky and then counterattacked Vicious Killer urgently tried to resist, i his two fists to block the attack To his surprise, Xiaoshunzi’s figure flipped over in the air, dropping to the ground behind hiainst his back Vicious Killer could only feel an icy and sinister into his body He used all of his internal energy to block this insidious invasion That into his arteries Vicious Killer could not help but release a blood-curdling screa as he tried to throw hi to the floor
