Chapter 158 Borrowing a Knife to Kill

Xiyan gritted her teeth and was extremely angry with Su Wan. She wanted to kill her with a palm, but she had to take a few steps back and barely avoided the fatal sword.

The assassin in black tried to strike with his sword but failed, so he struck again.

Now, without Helian Shu as a shield, Xiyan was thinking about how to counterattack without making any sound.

At the critical moment, three silver rays of light broke through the air and accurately blocked the sword in the assassin's hand.

She looked closely and saw that Xiao Nanyue, Helian Feng and Xie Zhan attacked at the same time!

Xiao Nanyue turned his wrist lightly, the sword flowers flew, and where the cold light flashed, he had already killed the assassin's throat with one sword, and the dead body fell straight to the ground!

Crown Prince Helian Feng took a step forward at the right moment and took the frightened Xi Yan into his arms:

"Xiyan, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

Xiao Nanyan glanced at the scene, a sneer on his lips, and the tip of his sword deflected a cold arrow that broke through the air:

"Okay, since the prince is so kind, please protect her for me!"

He spun around to avoid another poisonous crossbow, his clothes fluttering as he exuded murderous intent.

"She is indeed safer with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince than with me!"

Before he finished speaking, dozens of black shadows suddenly emerged from behind the rocks again and surrounded Xiao Nanyue.

The flashes of swords and sabers cut through the sunlight, and a new round of fighting began in a pool of blood.

Xiyan pressed her hands against Helian Feng's solid chest and twisted her body to try to break free:

"Your Highness, Xiyan will just stand aside."

But Helian Feng's arms were like iron clamps, holding her tightly in his arms.

The more she struggled, the tighter the grip on her waist became, as if it was trying to squeeze her into her bones and blood.

"Don't move, someone wants to kill you!"

Xiyan knew that what he said was true. Indeed, there were several assassins in black who clearly wanted to kill her.

Helian Feng clearly didn't want her to die. Could it be that those black-clad killers weren't his men?

Helian Shu and Su Wan seemed to be unaware of today's actions, and it was even more impossible for them to have made plans here in advance.

If not them, who else could it be?

Not far away, Su Wan was clutching her handkerchief tightly, hiding behind several guards. She saw her future husband hugging another woman, a lowly maid at that. No matter how much she tried to restrain herself, she couldn't hide the jealousy surging in her eyes.

Helian Feng tilted his head, his eyes like ice-hardened swords, piercing straight at her.

Just one glance and Su Wan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

That gaze seemed to be able to penetrate her skin and flesh, seeing her little plan clearly.

She staggered back half a step, her back hitting the cold rocks, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Su Wan was clearly aware that Helian Feng did not want to marry her, and even had no feelings for her at all.

However, her father was involved in corruption, and although the emperor did not pursue the matter, he did not release him either.

If his father falls, will Helian Feng cancel the engagement?

He definitely would, and it would definitely be because of that shameless slave girl!

Both he and the Regent Xiao Nanyan were bewitched by such a lowly maid.

It seems that as long as this woman is alive, she will be a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh for both her and Helian Shu.

Now, her father is in prison, and she has no power or influence, so she can only use someone else's knife to kill someone.

Her eyes were fixed on Helian Shu.

…

Xiyan watched as Xiao Nanyue, Fu Yunqing and the others fought against a larger force with fewer people. Although it was dangerous, they never lost the upper hand thanks to their skills, and she felt a little relieved.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened!

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking water on the lake.

Immediately afterwards, several green shadows broke out of the water, waving sharp blades in their hands, and attacked straight towards Helian Feng!

Chu Jin's pupils suddenly shrank and he drew his sword.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

He turned around and stood in front of Helian Feng. At the same time, Mingying and Shihun also protected Helian Feng.

At this time, more assassins in blue came from all directions, targeting only the Helian brothers and sisters!

Xiyan was shocked. The killers in front of her were ruthless and tricky in their moves. They were different from the previous black-clad assassins. It was obvious that they were not assassins of the same type.

Is this a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?

Looking at Xiao Nanyue again, he was calm and composed, moving among the crowd of killers with ease.

Xiyan thought to herself, could it be that Helian Feng arranged for assassins to kill Xiao Nanyue? He had anticipated this and set an ambush here?

However, Xiyan secretly took a look at the killers' methods and was secretly surprised.

But seeing their swords flashing like snakes, focusing on attacking the opponent's large acupuncture points all over the body, each move was ruthless, clearly the Beicang's secret movement of "Crow Skimming the Water".

Could this be the real Beicang killer?

However, as far as Xiyan knew, Xiao Nanyan had no friendship with Northern Canghuang Xuanlie.

Or, did Xiao Nanyue deliberately leak the news to lure the Beicang killer and disrupt Helian Feng's plan?

In this way, kill with a borrowed knife!
