The concubines and maids who were welcoming Xia Yu at the gate of the palace were frightened by the sudden assassination and screamed.

Xu Yunxuan couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she saw the panic of these concubines trying to escape and protect themselves in the critical moment.

She took Xia Xiaoxian by the hand and called out, "Everyone, return to the palace and don't disturb the princess."

Shen Yuyao felt relieved when she heard Xu Yunxuan's voice.

"Huahua!" Shen Yuyao attacked with several fierce sword techniques, and her sword was as powerful as wind and thunder.

"Ah!" With a cry, another masked man in black was stabbed in the chest by Shen Yuyao's soft sword.

But this man was also really tough. He held the long sword that pierced his chest tightly with both hands. While trying his best to pull out the tip of the sword, he took a few steps back with his legs "thump thump".

Shen Yuyao couldn't help but be dragged forward a few steps along the sword's momentum. She became anxious and increased the strength in her hands.

With a "bang", the man in black retreated to the side of Xia Yu's black warhorse, but Shen Yuyao was unable to stop in time. With a "puff" sound, the long sword pierced through the chest of the man in black and also scratched Xia Yu's warhorse.

The black warhorse felt pain and kicked into the air with both legs.

Xia Yu was on horseback and was caught off guard and thrown hard by the black warhorse.

He was almost thrown into the air by the warhorse. Xia Yu tried his best to keep his balance, but just when he stabilized his body, the black warhorse wanted to dodge the fallen masked man in black and suddenly threw Xia Yu into the air again.

Xia Yu lowered his body and held on to the saddle tightly, as if he had become one with the black warhorse. He lay tightly on the horse's back, so that he was not thrown to the ground.

If it weren't for his good composure, he would have been so angry that he kicked Shen Yuyao back to Prince Ning's Mansion.

He had never seen a princess who would act rashly when her own prince was assassinated, and be so cruel to the assassin.

However, Xia Yu also witnessed that Shen Yuyao's martial arts skills were not inferior to his.

I was a little surprised.

When Xia Yu looked at Shen Yuyao again, his eyes were filled with resentment.

He was convinced.

After just a moment of distraction, Xia Yu saw the remaining masked men in black suddenly turn around and stab Shen Yuyao with swords.

It seems that they also know that if they don't capture Shen Yuyaoxian, it will be difficult to take Prince Ning's life today.

Shen Yuyao lowered her wrist, and moved the sword with a serious expression.

At this moment, many masked men in black rushed out from the alley next to Prince Ning's Mansion. From the bulging meridians on their wrists, it can be seen that they are definitely not ordinary killers. It's not that simple.

It seems that they have spent a lot of money to kill Prince Ning.

There are quite a lot of people coming.

He dared to snipe Prince Ning at the gate of his mansion. He was so brave.

Xia Yu snorted coldly, and with a beautiful leap, he jumped to the side of Shen Yuyao, "You step back!"

"No need, they want to kill you, you should hide in the mansion first." Shen Yuyao said in a low voice, then suddenly shook her right wrist, and the sword flower rose again to block the masked man in black who was stabbing at her.

This group of people were quite skilled. They surrounded Shen Yuyao and Xia Yu, but they were not in a hurry to attack. Instead, they moved around, waiting for them to reveal a flaw.

Shen Yuyao thought for a moment, picked up the sword of the man who had just fallen, and threw it to the unarmed Xia Yu.

Shen Yuyao didn't know how good Xia Yu's martial arts were. She just thought that since he had a sword in his hand, he should be able to protect himself temporarily, so she could let go and fight.

Sure enough, the soft sword in Shen Yuyao's hand stabbed out quickly like a poisonous snake's tongue, and soon forced back the two men in black in front.

When the swords collided, sparks could be seen from the long sword in Shen Yuyao's hand.

Xia Yu looked helpless and simply held the sword to his chest without making any move.

"There's a knife under the saddle!"

Xia Yu reminded in a low voice.

Shen Yuyao flipped her sword even faster, lowered her head, turned around and rolled quickly under the horse's belly, pulling out an exquisite knife from under the saddle.

Before she could see what kind of knife it was, she drew her sword and slashed it in the air. With a "clang", the long sword in the hand of the man in black who was chasing Shen Yuyao was broken into two pieces.

The man in black looked incredulous, and Shen Yuyao also had an expression of disbelief.

The two of them exclaimed at the same time: "Frost Moon Blade!"

The handle of the knife was crescent-shaped, and the blade was extremely thin, but it could cut iron like mud. Apart from the "Cold Moon Blade", Shen Yuyao could not think of any other knife in the world that could be so sharp.

Shen Yuyao was cheered up, holding the sword in his right hand and the knife in his left hand, and he became more and more courageous as he killed more and more.

In a short while, he defeated several men in black.

"ah!"

With a soft cry, Shen Yuyao suddenly turned around and was horrified to find that she was so engrossed in the battle that she accidentally cut Xia Yu's clothes with the tip of the knife.

Xia Yu finally took action, but was injured by Shen Yuyao first.

He frowned slightly and covered his chest with his right hand, seeming a little angry and painful.

Shen Yuyao felt a little guilty in her heart, and quickly smiled apologetically at Xia Yu, "My Lord, please return to the palace, I will protect you!"

Xia Yu was stunned and looked at Shen Yuyao dimly.

But he saw a black shadow suddenly flash out from behind Shen Yuyao, and the sword in the black shadow's hand stabbed straight towards Shen Yuyao's back.

Xia Yu's face changed drastically. He grabbed Shen Yuyao's wrist and dragged her behind him, but he straightened his chest to meet the sneak attack of the sword.

"puff!"

Shen Yuyao didn't even have time to react before she heard the sound of a long sword piercing into flesh and blood.

The long sword pierced Xia Yu's chest, and the tip of the sword passed by Shen Yuyao's temples, and a few strands of long black hair fell to the ground.

Shen Yuyao was horrified and quickly turned sideways, holding Xia Yu with her left arm and stabbing the man in black with the long sword in her right hand.

There was another "puff" sound. Shen Yuyao looked up and saw that the man in black who attacked her had been stabbed by Xia Yu's sword and fell on his back.

"Ugh!" Xia Yu groaned, his body became a little unstable, and he staggered a few steps.

At the same time, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from afar, and Xia Yu's black warhorse also neighed to the sky.

Shen Yuyao hurriedly supported Xia Yu, "Your Highness, don't be afraid, your personal guards are coming soon."

Afraid?

I'm afraid that you'll chop them randomly!

The men in black who were surrounding the two of them and had not fallen down yet must have heard the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer. They whistled at each other and retreated quickly in all directions.

Xia Yu felt relieved, and the scene and people in front of him began to blur. Xia Yu tried to steady himself several times, but he still couldn't. Finally, his vision went black, and he fell into Shen Yuyao's arms.

"Your Majesty!"

Shen Yuyao screamed as she watched the thin girl being pushed to the ground by the tall and strong Xia Yu. But at the moment when she was about to fall, all the strength suddenly disappeared for no reason.

Shen Yuyao felt her body relax, and Xia Yu was carried on the shoulders of a bald monk and rushed straight to the gate of the palace.

Xia Yu's head and arms hung limply, drooping on the monk's broad back.

Shen Yuyao looked carefully and found that Xia Yu had vomited a lot of black blood from his mouth.

not good!

The sword is poisonous!
