They sent two Silver levelled Xuan experts after me? You hold me in such high regards!
Jun Xie laughed bitterly. To send such experts to deal with a mere debauchee, it seemed that the person organising the assassination was generous!
There were a total of nine highly capable Xuan Qi experts namely two Gold and seven Silver levelled experts. For these experts to attack the Princess’ defenceless entourage without any experts was simply as easy as breaking an egg with a stone.
Two swords shone with silver brilliance stabbed forward! The two pair of eyes behind the masks were bloodthirsty and cruel, their strike was meant to kill with one blow.
Two counter these two attacks, a variety of methods can be used to deal with them flashed in Jun Xie’s mind. However, no matter what method he decided to use would expose his true strength.
What gave the Emperor assurance was the current state of the Jun Family. The declination of the Jun Family, Jun Wu Yi paralysed from the waist down; Jun Mo Xie an incapable debauchee, signified that there was no successor in the Jun Family. This suggests that the aged Jun Zhan Tian would not have any secret ambition! Therefore, the Emperor was willing to leave the entire military in the hands of Jun Zhan Tian. But if His Majesty were to find out that Jun Mo Xie was actually a dragon amongst men, the Emperor’s trust would turn into an enormous suspicion! Since Jun Zhan Tian’s position within the military was simply too terrifying!
His Majesty would be forced to take action against the Jun Family if Jun Xie were to reveal his prowess before the bodyguards of the princess.
Therefore, he could not!
Immediately, Jun Xie made a decision.
Jun Xie retreated in a confused manner with an extremely bewildered face. Suddenly, he tumbles backwards as his feet seemed to have tripped over something. Seemingly unintentional, this manoeuvre allowed one of the incoming swords to just graze his scalp. Meanwhile, he channelled the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune to protect his internal organs and then forcefully twisted his body, causing the other sword to pierce sideways into his chest!
The wound looked serious, in actual fact, it failed to even hurt his bones. The Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune circulated through his entire body. THe thick white mist charged into all his limbs and meridians as it quickly restored his body immediately…
Meanwhile, the other assassin gave two flying kicks at Jun Xie. Two ‘peng’ sounds were heard as both kicks landed on Jun Xie’s chest. This caused him to groan and cough out a mouthful of blood. Jun Xie fell to the ground with his face facing the sky, then he rolled over causing his white robes to be stained with blood. After rolling, he laid there with his face grounded showing no signs of breathing nor movements.
The two assassins glanced at the motionless Jun Xie, then they rushed towards the besieged sedan chair of Princess Ling Meng.
They thought of Jun Mo Xie, the most renowned debauchee playboy in the capital, could not have any chance of surviving a sword attack through the chest together with the two all-out kicks from a Silver levelled Xuan Qi expert. Right now, all of his internal organs should have been crushed, leaving him with no hope of survival. Therefore, neither one of the two men had any interest in giving him another glance.
Both men did not notice that when the two kicks landed on Jun Xie’s body, a strange pulse burst out from Jun Xie’s chest before he fell to the ground. When the two kicks landed, his chest area had six pulses burst, dispelling most of the force from the kicks.
Princess Ling Meng’s bodyguards today were the most common amongst the palace guards. Only the two leaders were comparatively stronger than the rest, with Silver levelled Xuan. They became flustered when they had to deal with attacks from two Gold and seven silver levelled experts under these unprepared circumstances. Although the bodyguards outnumbered the assassins, they were of little use.
Interestingly, the sedan chair did not move nor make any sound since the black swords struck it. It was unknown if Princess Ling Meng was still alive.
The bodyguards standing before the sedan chair fell, one after the other. The two masked men in black leading the charge leapt through the air as one with their body radiating a golden glow as they glided through the air like an eagle about to snatch up a rabbit, heading towards the sedan chair.
The bodyguards became alarmed and shouted loudly. They rushed desperately forward without any regards for their own lives, hoping to stop them with their lives. Unfortunately, their opponents were two Gold levelled Xuan Qi experts. How could they stop them with their humble level of cultivation? The gap in strength between them was far too huge and the bodyguards were pushed back to the left and right, like a sea being split in half. Four hands lashed out with a brilliant gold, its brilliance burst out in a flash. The magnificent roof of the ornate sedan chair was torn apart with strips of its colourful adorning cloth dancing in the air, Under the night sky and the golden light, this scene was simply remarkable, beautiful and sorrowful!
The black swords that were fired into the sedan chair suddenly emerged like a poisonous dragon when a black glint flashed, shooting out towards the two men who were still hovering in the air.
With the flash of swords, the ‘ka’ sounds were heard as the black projectiles were cut down. In this instance, a slim figure emerged from the strips of adorning cloth. The figure wrapped in a glittering silver radiance moving in haste with grace. In Princess Ling Men’s eyes, anger and unwillingness were shown. Her hands were equipped with short swords glowing with a bright silver luminance, which she used to stab the two men in black.
This princess who looked like a weak and slender woman was actually a Silver levelled Xuan Qi expert! Surprisingly, the young princess had a high level of martial talent. In terms of cultivation, she was similar to the other martial prodigy Dugu Xiao Yi!
The two men in black snorted as they unleashed their sword attacks. Two ‘peng’ sounds were heard before the three of them fell down towards different directions. Princess Ling Meng fell to the ground, momentarily her beautiful face turned bright red before turning pale. It was obvious that she suffered internal injuries! Regardless of her talents, she is still a beginner Silver levelled Xuan user. Even if two Gold levelled Xuan Qi experts had exhausted their strength, a sneak attack by Princess Ling Meng would still end up with her at a bitter loss!
The intrinsic difference in quality existed between the Silver and Gold levels. They are not comparable!
After enduring the recoil, the two masked men in black charged forth again. With a step upon the ground, they caused a ‘hong’ sound and two indentations appeared as they shot forward, treading through a pace of thirty feet. Their long swords illuminated with a golden glitter as they flew towards Princess Ling Meng’s tender body mercilessly!
Princess Ling Meng suffered a considerable amount of internal injury from the fight before. She had no chance of regaining her composure, With no other alternatives, she squeezed out every last ounce of strength she had to dodge backwards but was still unable to dodge the incoming swords. Also, when she tried to force out all the strength she could muster, the Xuan Qi within her body became chaotic and going completely beyond her control. It all came together in a random manner that caused pain comparable to having a sword skewered through her. This caused her to have no more strength within her body. Suddenly, she could not help but fall into despair: ‘Could this be how I would die?’ A mournful look of confusion floated upon her beautiful face as she stood there quietly, watching the two swords lunging towards her without even trying to dodge anymore!
She no longer had the strength to dodge!
A Silver levelled Xuan Qi beginner going against a Gold levelled Xuan Qi expert and in this case – two! Even if she was not injured or possessed superb dodging skills all would be still in vain!
The swords had closed in on her to the point that Princess Ling Meng could see the cruel expressions of delight within the eyes of the two men in black. It appeared that those two felt very satisfied to have the opportunity to kill such a divine beauty.
Your Highness!
Several bodyguards howled loudly as they rushed out disregarding their lives. Unfortunately, it was too late…
Was it truly too late?
Their assignment was completed as long as they killed this beautiful woman! Naturally, they would be able to enjoy an unfathomable amount of wealth and status! All was needed was for their swords to thrust forward a little more and everything would be over! Even if she was the daughter of the ruler of Tianxiang Kingdom, even if she was a rare martial talent, she would be left without a single breath in her body!
Both men in black were well trained first class assassins. As Gold levelled Xuan Qi experts, their hearts were black and poisonous; killing was an act they do without emotions. However, the current target was a princess which caused them to reveal a look of ecstasy from their eyes.
Right now, everyone was focused on Princess Ling Meng. Therefore, no one realised that Jun Xie who everyone thought to be dead on the ground made a slight movement. A flash shot forth from his fingers, moving up towards the sky. After flying for five feet, it made a one hundred and eighty-degree turn emitting a dazzling blue radiance as it whistled towards the space between Princess Ling Meng and the assassins.
