"In that case, please take more care of me from now on."

With a flattering smile on her face, Xu Rong slowly approached the white-faced, beardless middle-aged man, as if she wanted to express her closeness.

He had already sheathed his sword at this time and looked harmless.

The white-faced, beardless middle-aged man showed a happy smile on his face: "I don't need to be called an adult. Little brother, you can call me Liu Xiong."

In the palace, he is just a small captain among the guards, so naturally he should not be overestimated.

However, the title of "Sir Xu Rong" still made him quite happy.

'This guy looks pretty cool, but he probably came from a small place and hasn't seen much of the world, but his mind is quite flexible.'

"It turns out to be Brother Liu. I'm disrespectful and disrespectful to you."

Xu Rong had a smile on her face, holding the sheath of Yan Ling Dao in her left hand, and half wrapping her left hand with her right hand, with a very respectful attitude.

This greatly satisfied Liu Xiong's vanity.

"You don't know what to call me, little brother? It's a great blessing to be able to see my little brother here today."

"Yeah?"

There was still a smile on Xu Rong's lips, but it was different from before, just like the difference between the warm wind in summer and the biting cold wind in winter.

At this time, the distance between the two of them was only two steps, and Xu Rong suddenly shouted loudly, like a tiger roaring, and like thunder exploding, followed by a bright sword light.

Clang!

The sword was unsheathed and then sheathed again.

Xu Rong said calmly: "I hope you really think so."

Liu Xiong's expression was still a little dazed. The sudden loud shout just now made his head turn into paste as if he had been hit hard.

As soon as I woke up, I felt pain in my throat.

Liu Xiong covered his neck with one hand and pointed at Xu Rong with the other, his eyes full of disbelief and fear.

He did not expect that Xu Rong was pretending to take refuge, nor did he expect that Xu Rong would suddenly take action.

I never expected that Xu Rong could actually master such an eccentric martial arts as sound skills.

The price, of course, is his life.

Bang!

Liu Xiong's eyes widened and he fell to the ground. Blood quickly covered his body.

Xu Rong's thoughts moved, and a shadow was swallowed by the Soul-eating Pearl.

This Liu Xiong's cultivation seems a bit strange, it is stronger than the ordinary blood exchange realm.

However, there is no hot breath of Qi and blood on his body, instead it is very cold.

He was said to be in the Blood Furnace Realm, but compared to the Tie Ying, Gao Han and other Blood Furnace Realm masters he had seen, they were much inferior.

Xu Rong fumbled around with these people and obtained some property. As for the martial arts secrets he wanted, he didn't have any.

The remaining two men in black had long been seriously injured by Zhang Xishi, and Xu Rong also casually dealt them a last blow.

Once word of what happened today spreads, it will be a big trouble for him.

But fortunately, he is now a trace.

"The murderer was Yu Hen. What does my permission have to do with it?"

This thought flashed through Xu Rong's mind, and then she thought of the Swift Wind Sword.

The successful sneak attack just now was all due to the medium-pitched attack of the Tiger's Roaring Thunder Sword and the speed of the violent wind sword, which caught Liu Xiong off guard.

Otherwise, given Liu Xiong's martial arts, if the two of them faced off, it would be unclear who would win.

This is also the reason why Xu Rong shows weakness to the enemy.

It can be easier to kill the enemy, why not use it?

'The Swift Wind Sword, rated as a two-star by the Soul-Eating Pearl, has such an effect on increasing the shooting speed when you first get started. What will the more powerful technique be like?'

At this moment, a cough interrupted Xu Rong's thoughts.

Xu Rong cast his eyes on Zhang Xishi, who had barely sat up.

At this time, Zhang Xishi looked pale and looked depressed, and it could be seen that his condition was very bad.

"Thank you, Brother Yu, for your life-saving grace."

Xu Rong accepted it calmly, then he walked over and helped Zhang Xishi to sit by the wall.

"You are injured now, so you should rest for a while. I will start the bonfire first."

Xu Rong was still a little curious about Zhang Xishi. He didn't know why he was hunted down by people sent by King Zhao.

However, the people who are chasing him are not very strong. Even the strongest Liu Xiong is only a little stronger than the average blood exchange realm.

From this point of view, it shouldn't be too important.

After Xu Rong set up the bonfire again, he saw Zhang Xishi sitting with his legs crossed and his five hearts pointing toward the sky.

It looked like he was healing his wounds.

Xu Rong did not disturb him and sat down aside.

The Shanshanquan he learned also included some methods for healing injuries.

But it's relatively simple. It's just a standing position to dredge qi and blood and nourish the injured area. It's not a specialized healing method.

Seeing the smoke rising from the stone roof of Zhangxi and the sweat on his forehead, Xu Rong couldn't help but feel worried.

‘It won’t explode, right? And this stream stone uses the method of convincing Qi?’

After this period of understanding, Xu Rong knew that in the Blood Furnace realm, he must have the Qi Conquering Method to absorb and refine the essence of heaven and earth in order to quickly improve his cultivation level.

The Roaring Tiger Thunder Sword and the Swift Wind Sword are purely external moves. When Xu Rong is promoted to the Blood Furnace Realm, he still needs to find a way to conquer Qi.

After a while of burning incense, Zhang Xishi finally opened his eyes.

At this time, there was blood on his face and his spirits were much better.

"Thank you little brother for protecting me."

Zhang Xishi thanked him sincerely.

If I hadn't met Xu Rong today, there would definitely be no one else.

Xu Rong shook his head: "Brother Zhang, you're welcome. Even if I don't take action, they won't let me go."

Of course, if Zhang Xishi's series of actions hadn't made Xu Rong think he was good, he would have just run away. How could he take a risk for a stranger?

Zhang Xishi solemnly said: "No matter what, Brother Yu is a life-saving grace to me, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

Xu Rong added a piece of firewood to the fire without comment, and then said: "Brother Zhang, I have some questions in my mind. I don't know whether I should ask them?"

Zhang Xishi was slightly startled and soon understood what Xu Rong's question was.

"There is nothing to hide in this matter."

Zhang Xishi sighed, "I wonder if Brother Yu has ever heard of King Rongyang?"

Xu Rong was a little surprised: "King Rongyang? How could I not know this? There is no one in Youzhou who doesn't know this, right?"

King Rongyang was a king with a different surname who founded the country, and his fiefdom was in Youzhou.

Moreover, its geographical location is close to Yangzhou and its development is very good. I heard that its prosperity is no less than that of Youzhou.

"I am from the Rongyang Palace."

Zhang Xishi's square face showed a touch of pride.

"The cause of this incident lies in one thing, that is, my prince was unable to have any more children due to injuries suffered in his early years, so he only had one daughter."

"And the prince's body has been deteriorating because of the injuries that have never been healed. Now twenty years have passed and it has almost reached the point where the oil is exhausted."

"As a result, the huge foundation of Rongyang Palace has naturally aroused the covetousness of many people."

Xu Rong nodded slightly, understanding.

This is the Rongyang Palace. As long as you can get married, you will not only inherit the throne, but also control the entire fiefdom and have overwhelming power.

If Xu Rong hadn't felt that he was not qualified, he might have tried to get involved.

If you can inherit the position of King Rongyang, then just make a fortune, and you don't need to be a small catcher?
