Eunuch Ni tried to retreat and strike with his internal force, but the man in front of him, dressed in black and wearing a mask, whose gender was indistinguishable, kept pressing forward, making him somewhat agitated.

Xie Lingqin's eyes, visible through her face mask, were as cold as ice stars, and she remained silent.

The emperor did know some martial arts, but he wasn't particularly skilled. At that moment, the Purple River Sword swept past, almost taking the emperor's life.

The situation unfolded too suddenly and too quickly. The Imperial Guards who had originally wanted to step forward to protect the Emperor were now filled with lingering fear and unable to provide assistance. At that moment, dozens of men in black suddenly emerged from the shadows, their martial arts skills... utterly unorthodox.

Their unconventional tactics caught them off guard.

The dignified Imperial Guards, numbering several dozen, were utterly routed.

Seeing this, Eunuch Ni knew that he could not fight for long. He risked being wounded in the chest by Xie Lingqin and retreated several steps while rushing towards the Emperor.

Xie Lingqin looked dejected, but there was no disappointment in her eyes. In the darkness, she curled her lips into a cold, unrestrained smile.

Then, he raised his hand, and from his sleeve, a sharp arrow shot out.

It was aimed precisely at the emperor's back.

Just as Eunuch Ni was about to protect the Emperor, and the Emperor looked at Eunuch Ni...

This opportunity is so slim, so brief, and so rare.

The arrow was too fast, its force piercing the air. Eunuch Ni must have sensed it. He raised his hand and flicked it, staring at Xie Lingqin as if she were an ant. "You audacious thief, your petty tricks are just a trifle..." However, before he could finish speaking, Eunuch Ni's expression changed drastically.

Because beneath that sharp arrow, dozens of silver needles suddenly emerged like flowers in bloom.

While he was preoccupied with the sharp arrows, he had already sent them all toward the emperor.

Eunuch Ni was horrified and immediately stepped in front of him.

However, quite a few silver needles still pierced the emperor's back.

At that critical moment, in the blink of an eye.

An axe came crashing down on the emperor's shoulder.

"emperor……"

Eunuch Ni was greatly alarmed and immediately unleashed a burst of palm wind, striking the attacker directly.

The newcomer seemed unable to withstand the attack and immediately retreated, but at that moment the axe fell as the hand loosened its grip, heading straight for the emperor's wrist.

Grandpa Ni's expression changed, and he hurriedly went to pull him away.

but……

A streak of blood appeared.

The axe grazed the emperor's arm.

"withdraw."

Upon seeing this, Xie Lingqin immediately raised her hand.

Immediately, the men in black retreated like a receding tide.

The man who had been holding the axe had clearly been killed by Eunuch Ni, but when he heard the word "retreat," he immediately scrambled to his feet, grabbed his axe, and ran after the rest of the group.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Chase--"

The emperor rubbed his arm, his face filled with rage and fury, but he paused as soon as he spoke.

Because, at this moment, all of his dozens of imperial guards had their pants pulled down.

This...

Moreover, the dozens of men in black ahead suddenly separated.

Which way should we chase after them?

Which one should I pursue?

By the time I realized what was happening, the person ahead had already vanished.

"flutter--"

The emperor coughed up blood, and in his anger and rage, he fainted from the shock.

Eunuch Ni was extremely anxious, "Hurry up, return to the palace immediately."

"yes."
