Picking up the Wandering Dragon Sword, the black clothed man channeled some of his cloud energy into it. The Wandering Dragon Sword immediately glowed brightly as lightning and water patterns circulated on the sword. It was truly extraordinary!

"Although the lightning and water elements are a little weaker, it's still very sharp. I'm afraid it's worth over ten million taels of silver. Hehe …" The black clothed man snickered complacently.

Immediately afterwards, he flashed over to Xiang Yun's side, his gaze sizing up Xiang Yun who was lying on the ground as he muttered to himself.

"I heard from the quest that this kid has a storage ring!"

As he was speaking, the black-clothed man suddenly discovered that on Xiang Yun's left middle finger, there was actually a black ring with a dragon tattoo. Even though it was pitch-black like ink, it still reflected a jade-like brilliance in the darkness!

The moment he saw this ring, the black-clothed man's eyes widened as they shone brightly. The latter crouched beside Xiang Yun excitedly, grabbing Xiang Yun's left hand and grabbing the Black Ember Ring's fingers. He could not help but mumble in excitement!

"ring of black light, it's really the ring of black light!" This is the storage ring that the Shoulder King is wearing. There are only a few storage rings in our Wind Cloud Country, and I can actually get one now. This time, I really made a killing! This brat is worth it! "Hahaha!"

The man in black was so excited that his hands were shaking!

At this moment, he did not notice that the right hand under his feet, which was originally dead, had suddenly curved into a claw shape!

At this moment, the black-clothed man was completely immersed in the joy of obtaining the ring. He was so excited that he could not control himself as he carefully grabbed Xiang Yun's hand and gently pulled the ring outwards. His actions were incomparably gentle, as if he was afraid of damaging the ring in the slightest!

"Hiss!"

Everything had happened too suddenly. The black-clothed man could clearly see from the corner of his eyes that Xiang Yun, who had originally been dead, was now clawing at his crotch with his right claw, leaving an illusory image.

The claw was as fast as lightning and there was a faint whistling sound!

The black clothed man's expression relaxed a bit as he thought, with my cultivation level as the cloud barrier, I will definitely be able to block this brat's sneak attack!

The next moment!

"Crack!"

A sound like porcelain breaking was heard, and the relaxed expression on the man's face instantly changed to one of shock. He could feel that his protective layer of cloud had been broken. A loud tiger roar could be heard!

"Bam!"

A sound that sounded like an egg breaking was heard!

The next moment, the man in black let out an extremely miserable scream!

"You, you …"

The black-clothed man only spoke two words before his body fell powerlessly onto Xiang Yun's body. His aura was instantly severed!

"Hu!"

With a long and heavy exhale, Xiang Yun, who had originally been frozen on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, he kicked out, kicking the black-clothed man off his body!

"d.a.m.n! That was close!"

At the same time, he was rejoicing and rejoicing over having survived a calamity. He looked at his right claw in disbelief, somewhat disdainful, yet also pleasantly surprised. In the end, he was pleasantly surprised and unrelenting.

"I never thought that the Tiger Claws Absolute Hand would be so powerful that it could even break through the defensive barrier of the Yellow Cloud Realm. I misjudged it!"

As the saying goes, suffering is hard to come by. Xiang Yun had originally abhorred this Tiger Claw Absolute Hand martial art to the extreme. He had originally wanted to try his best not to use this martial art, but who would have thought that relying on this martial art would actually lead to his death!

Just now, Xiang Yun knew that there was no hope for him to escape, and in his haste to come up with this idea of feigning death.

However, this was not difficult for Xiang Yun. With his Turtle Resting Technique, if he couldn't do anything else, he would be able to faking his death.

The latter waited for the opportunity to act, waiting for the black-clothed person to fully focus his attention on the ring.

Xiang Yun suddenly exploded forth again, his Tiger Claw Jue hand brazenly displaying itself. The black-clothed man had never expected that a dead person would suddenly use a thunderous method to sneak attack his own life!

Even if he had managed to defend himself in time, the amount of cloud energy he had gathered in that moment of panic was not enough. Xiang Yun's Tiger Claws were truly extraordinary and he had attacked such a weak spot, the result would naturally be his egg shattering and he would die from the pain!

Looking at the black clothed man sprawled on the ground, Xiang Yun felt a little nervous. This was the first time in his life that he had ever killed a person, so he could not help but feel unsettled.

However, before he could even raise his foot, a sharp pain came from his chest. Immediately after, he felt something sweet in his throat, and fresh blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Xiang Yun could only wipe away the blood that had leaked out of the corner of his mouth, retracting his foot in embarra.s.sment.

Although Xiang Yun's death had been an act just now, the injuries he had suffered were real. Although a portion of the attacks had been blocked by the Wandering Dragon Sword, the majority of the attacks had still landed on Xiang Yun's body. At this moment, he had suffered quite a heavy internal injury!

The staggering Xiang Yun first tightened the Black Light Ring on his hand, before hanging the Wandering Dragon Sword on his waist.

However, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he turned around and walked beside the man in black clothing. He turned the man over with some effort and ripped off the mask on the man's face.

This was a middle-aged man he had never seen before. At this moment, his expression was twisted and a little disgusting. Xiang Yun immediately covered his face with the bandana.

However, the results left Xiang Yun rather disappointed. Apart from the black metal token on his body, this black clothed man had nothing else on him. He was truly alone.

He didn't know that those who worked in the a.s.sa.s.sination industry would never carry too much wealth with them. They also didn't know that he would die during the mission, so it was naturally useless to bring these things with him.

Xiang Yun picked up the Mysterious Iron Token and sized it up. He saw that there was very little content on the token, on the back was a skull, on the front was carved three simple words, "Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins"!

"The Hall of a.s.sa.s.sins?" Xiang Yun was a little bewildered, he had never heard of this name before.

"That's not right!" It suddenly occurred to Xiang Yun that the mastermind behind the Qin siblings' plot definitely would not have thought that he would actually be able to break through their trap. After all, if it had been the previous Xiang Yun who had been trapped by them, how could they have gotten the a.s.sa.s.sin to come and kill him?

Thinking of this, Xiang Yun's heart turned even colder, because if his guess was correct, then the ones who had invited these a.s.sa.s.sins to kill him were someone else. In other words, it might not just be one group of people that wanted to deal with him, but two groups of people!

For a moment, Xiang Yun felt chills run down his spine. He had not imagined that so many people would actually want to kill him. He could faintly sense that this was a huge conspiracy and that these people would probably not give up just like that!

At this moment, a group of people holding lanterns were rus.h.i.+ng over. He could faintly hear someone shouting, "Your Highness!"

Xiang Yun knew that someone from his residence must be looking for him. He turned to look at the body of the man in black lying on the ground. His heart skipped a beat and kicked him down the Willow River beside him.

Following that, Lin Wan'er personally took off Xiang Yun's clothes and applied the medicine to his wounds. When she saw the malevolent wounds on Xiang Yun's body, Lin Wan'er's tears flowed down like a string of pearls, and her hands trembled uncontrollably as she applied the medicine.

Lin Wan'er sobbed as she asked out of concern. Those bright red eyes of hers were so big that Xiang Yun Xin was about to break. At this moment, he really wanted to hug Lin Wan'er. Where could he find such an adorable woman?

Lin Wan'er's question silenced the servants of the crown prince's residence. They all wanted to know what had happened, and why his highness had suffered such a heavy injury.

Xiang Yun had originally wanted to speak the truth, but the moment he thought about how Lin Wan'er would probably feel even more hurt listening to him being a.s.sa.s.sinated, even more tears would flow.

Besides Mr. Liu and Housekeeper Zhang, there weren't any other experts in the estate. If he told them, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything, so it would be better to keep it a secret.

"I didn't expect that a mad dog would bite me. I fought with him for three hundred rounds and finally beat him away, injuring myself as well. That dead dog, don't let me see him again. If I see him again, I'll skin him alive and make a stew for my son!"

"Puchi!"

Standing outside the palanquin, Housekeeper Zhang, whose head was covered in sweat, was speechless. In his heart, he thought: "It's obviously you who pulled Fatty Niu to go whoring. Why do you say it like you're still very innocent?"

"If it wasn't for you losing your son, would this have happened?"

Housekeeper Zhang saw the look in Liu Hong's eyes and wanted to argue, but when he suddenly saw Old Liang, who had wandered around the riverbank, walk over, the latter immediately lowered his head in guilt.

At this moment, Old Liang had just happened to hear Xiang Yun tell Lin Wan'er about his ambush. The latter couldn't help but tease him, "Crown Prince, I'm afraid that you've encountered an extraordinary vicious dog. If it could break your bones, you've probably become a spirit."

"You old boy, this prince has already suffered such heavy injuries. Why aren't you sending this father back home and are even interested in making fun of this prince!"

They rushed back to the Crown Prince's Palace carrying a big palanquin. In front of the house, Housekeeper Zhang was feeling guilty and scared as he fell behind. When he was about to turn around and beg for forgiveness, there was no one behind him!
