   "The fish here are more patient than me." "If I am less patient than them, wouldn't I be worse than a fish?" Xiaocui didn't understand this Zen saying. All she knew was that life for her master, the hostage from Beiliang who had subjugated his country, was becoming increasingly difficult. Even the silver frost charcoal for the winter was "wrongly taken" by the evil slaves in the third prince's house yesterday, leaving only a few bags of low-quality black charcoal full of smoke. The master didn't care at all, he just said that the fireworks were heavier and more like the human world. But this is the Leng Palace Villa, so how can it be considered a human world? This is a colder cage than Jiuyou. Li Chengyun stopped talking and watched quietly as the straight fishhook swayed slightly in the water. The only people accompanying him in the drama were the loneliness of the lake, and the square sky above his head, which belonged to protons. Today, something seems different. The wind blowing from the lake, in addition to the chill, also carried a hint of blood and burnt smell that he had never smelled before. Just when Xiaocui wanted to persuade her some more... An extreme, creepy murderous intention came out from behind her. Instantly lock Li Chengyun's heart! Xiao Cui was like falling into an ice cave, unable to even scream. Li Chengyun didn't even look back. He didn't even look at the assassin in black who had appeared three feet away, looking like a ghost and holding a poison-quenching dagger. His gaze was still on the lake. Because just now, some insignificant changes occurred in his world. The moment he closed his eyes, the color of the real world around him faded away like a tide, turning into countless points of light. Just when the poisoned blade was about to touch the back of Li Chengyun's neck... "Hi!" A loud noise, as if the brocade silk was torn, came not from the ground, but from the nine heavens! The sound was not heard through the ears, but more like an invisible force, exploding directly in the depths of everyone's soul! Everyone looked up subconsciously. I saw that the gray sky belonging to protons was actually torn open by an unparalleled sword intent, and a dark, bottomless crack was torn open! The next moment. A beautiful figure bathed in blood. Carrying the arrogance of burning the sky and boiling the sea. Falling from the cracks like a burning meteor! Behind her trailed a long trail of blood and fire. The smell of sulfur and burning instantly filled the air! "Boom!" A huge hole was opened in the frozen lake, and the shock wave sent ice shards and water mist all over the sky. The figure was impartial and hit Li Chengyun right in front of him, crushing his three-year-old ebony fishing rod to pieces. The ghost's pupils shrank to pinpoints. What did he see? Immortals come down to earth? He didn't have time to think. Because a wave of overbearing body-protecting air emitted unconsciously swept towards him with precision. It was not simply sword energy, but a realm mixed with scorching heat and supreme majesty, like a phoenix spreading its wings and all things surrendering! The ghost couldn't even let out a scream. The physical skills and internal strength that he was so proud of were as fragile as paper in front of this force. His body, along with the poison-quenched dagger in his hand, were instantly decomposed, evaporated, and twisted into a bloody mist by the scorching pressure. The breeze blew and the blood mist drifted away.
