Upon hearing Xuan Yuanzhan's shout, Su Renzhong and Su Yun'an immediately turned around and saw countless black figures surging towards them from mid-air.
Helian Rong was also shocked when he saw the black figures and immediately shouted, "Shadow Guards, Azure Dragon Guards!"
Xuanyuan Zhan also rushed out immediately and started fighting with the men in black.
Duanmu Junyu and Su Xuening were also startled by the men in black. They immediately took Xiaobao to Helian Rong's side.
With Xuan Yuanzhan by their side, Su Renzhong and Su Yun'an should be fine. The old man also needs someone by his side.
Su Xuening has absolutely no martial arts skills, but she carries a lot of poison, so protecting herself is not a problem.
Duanmu Junyu knows martial arts, but she is probably not as good as those men in black. However, the men in black are all surrounding Xuan Yuanzhan, Su Renzhong, and Su Yun'an, and they haven't reached them yet.
Clearly, those men in black were after Su Renzhong and Su Yun'an.
However, these men in black were clearly no match for Xuan Yuanzhan. With Xuan Yuanzhan around, they couldn't get close to Su Renzhong and Su Yun'an at all.
Helian Rong was initially worried, but seeing that Xuan Yuanzhan could easily handle those men in black, he immediately thought of what Su Xuening and Su Yun'an had said about Xuan Yuanzhan's martial arts prowess.
I must say, this kid's martial arts skills are indeed very impressive!
Soon, the Shadow Guards scattered throughout the Longevity Palace appeared, and even Wu Shou arrived with the Azure Dragon Guards.
Seeing that the number of people on this side was increasing, the men in black knew that they were outnumbered, but they still did not choose to retreat. The leader of the men in black even started whistling.
After a loud whistle, a second group of men in black swarmed down from mid-air.
This second group of men in black was twice as many as the first group, but that wasn't the scariest part. The scariest part was that these men in black kept coming.
After forcefully blasting away the men in black surrounding him, Xuan Yuanzhan retreated to Su Renzhong and Su Yun'an's side: "These assassins are clearly well prepared. Why don't you go inside to take shelter? Anyway, there are Qinglong Guards and Dark Guards outside."
There were just too many of them. Although the Azure Dragon Guards and Shadow Guards had arrived, the scene was too chaotic. If we were to make a mistake, something terrible could happen. It would be safer to hide inside.
Su Yun'an looked at Helian Rong, Su Xuening, Duanmu Junyu, and the others who were surrounded by a group of guards, and did not move: "There are black-clad assassins everywhere here. It's not safe to retreat anywhere. It's safer to stay with my brother-in-law."
These assassins are still coming in droves. Even if he hides inside now, he might be ambushed by the assassins. It's better for him to stay by his brother-in-law's side.
With my brother-in-law's martial arts skills being so high, as long as he's around, these men in black can't get close to them at all.
Xuan Yuanzhan was amused by Su Yun'an. At this moment, he stopped fighting with the men in black and instead stayed by Su Renzhong and Su Yun'an's side.
Just as Su Yun'an said, with him around, these men in black couldn't get close to them, and they could do whatever they wanted in front of them.
Duanmu Junyu narrowed her eyes as she stared at the black-clad assassins: "It seems the person who bribed these assassins went to great lengths, hiring so many!"
Judging by appearances, there must be at least three thousand, if not five thousand. So many assassins, they must have gone to great lengths.
Helian Rong knew who she was talking about, and he also felt that it must be those three rebellious sons.
At this moment, Helian Rong blushed deeply, feeling extremely embarrassed by what Duanmu Junyu had said.
Those three unfilial sons are indeed never idle. He hasn't even settled accounts with them for the landslide yet, and they're already causing trouble again!
Duanmu Junyu's eyes flashed sharply, and she raised her head and whistled.
"Chirp!" The clear cry of the phoenix echoed throughout the sky.
A massive, fiery red figure pierced the night, swooping down towards them.
"hiss!"
"Sing!"
Then came roars and dragon cries.
Behind the bright figure of the Vermilion Bird, there are also the Black Tortoise and Azure Dragon.
The three divine beasts charged down together, which terrified the men in black.
Before they could even react, the three divine beasts began their rampage.
"Chirp!" The Vermilion Bird Divine Beast cried out and threw a fireball at them.
With a deafening roar, the fireball exploded, and instantly a large group of assassins in black began to scream in agony.
The Xuanwu Divine Beast's enormous body trembled, and countless sharp spikes sprouted from its extremely long snake tail. With a casual flick of its invincible tail, it struck the black-clad assassins. Before they even had a chance to scream, the assassins turned black and hardened at a visible speed, eventually becoming zombies.
Meanwhile, the Azure Dragon Divine Beast unleashed a hurricane attack. It raised its head, opened its mouth wide, and spewed a powerful hurricane at the men in black. The assassins in black were powerless to resist and were blown away by the powerful hurricane.
Some flew into the sky and fell to their deaths, some flew into trees and were impaled by branches, and others disappeared into the night, where they were also met with death.
The three divine beasts slaughtered together, quickly wiping out the black-clad assassins.
Looking at the bizarre postures of the black-clad assassins' corpses on the ground, the Azure Dragon Guards and Shadow Guards all trembled uncontrollably.
Good heavens, today they finally witnessed the power of the divine beast.
Mythical beasts are indeed mythical beasts, their power is immense!
I reckon that even if there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers, let alone these three thousand assassins, they could easily take care of them without much effort.
So never offend the three divine beasts, or rather, never offend the masters of these three divine beasts, or you will die a very ugly death, just like these black-clad assassins, whose deaths are all more gruesome than the last.
They either die from being burned to a crisp, or they die as zombies, or they die in various gruesome ways. It's really too tragic!
The three divine beasts eliminated the assassins in black, and seeing that their master was out of danger, the three divine beasts flew away together.
Appearing without a trace and disappearing without a trace, the power of the three divine beasts once again shocked everyone.
Looking at the various corpses of the assassins scattered on the ground, Wu Shou stepped forward and asked Helian Rong, "Your Majesty, what should be done with these corpses?"
Helian Rong stared at the corpses, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Collect all the corpses and send them to the residences of the three princes."
...After Helian Rong said this, everyone fell silent.
The Emperor is truly ruthless!
"Yes." Wu Shou dared not refuse and immediately ordered the Azure Dragon Guards to begin dealing with the corpses.
After Wu Shou and the Azure Dragon Guards cleaned up the bodies, Helian Rong was exhausted: "I'm really sorry about what happened tonight. I didn't know those three rebellious sons would be so desperate!"
In fact, Xuanyuan Zhan and the others didn't care. After all, what hadn't they encountered along the way?
Even Su Yun'an comforted Helian Rong: "It's not your fault, and they didn't succeed. We have divine beasts protecting us, so you don't need to worry."
Helian Rong nodded with satisfaction and sighed softly, "I am tired, and you are all tired too. Go back and rest."
"Yes," the group replied and took their leave.
