Chapter 552 Assassination
The wind was strong and the rain was heavy. The strong wind pounded against the dilapidated window frames, making a series of shrill sounds.
Accompanied by the wailing sound, people feel inexplicably depressed.
Dozens of men in black stood outside holding sharp blades.
The leading man waved his hand and said, "They've been drugged. Divide into two teams and fight quickly. Don't leave any of them alive."
"Yes!" Dozens of men in black walked quickly towards the guest room with sharp blades in their hands, pushed the door open and started slashing at the bed with knives.
Chen Qingqing stood motionless behind the door, holding a crossbow in her hand, her cold eyes fixed on every move outside.
Looking at the black-clad assassin rushing in, she raised the crossbow in her hand and pulled the trigger at the black-clad man's head without hesitation. The black-clad man's neck tilted and he died.
Arrow after arrow, four or five killers fell to the ground.
The other men in black reacted quickly and shouted, "Oh no, we've fallen into a trap." Then they turned around and slashed at Chen Qingqing who was standing behind the door.
After all, it was Chen Qingqing's first time to kill someone. Her face was pale and her hands were shaking slightly.
But she knew that if she didn't kill anyone, she would be killed in return, and she could not be merciful in order to survive.
Looking at the assassin rushing towards her, Chen Qingqing dodged the sharp blade, raised her hand and stabbed the poisonous silver needle in her hand towards the man in black.
The man in black widened his eyes instantly with an incredible expression, and fell down without a sound.
The assassins behind were stunned. They surrounded Chen Qingqing. The corpses lying on the ground told them that this woman was not simple.
They didn't dare to be careless anymore and approached Chen Qingqing cautiously.
"Be careful, this woman is a bit evil." One of the assassins warned.
Chen Qingqing looked at the assassins who were surrounding her and sprinkled a handful of Ecstasy powder over them.
Unfortunately, the assassins were all wearing face scarves, so the poison was not effective and did not make them faint at all. Fortunately, it did make them panic for a moment.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the silver needle in his hand shot straight into the eyebrows of the two men in black, and the two men in black fell down.
"Oh no, this woman has hidden weapons, everyone be careful."
A slightly fat man raised a knife and slashed towards Chen Qingqing quickly. Chen Qingqing hurriedly waved a crossbow to meet him.
With a "bang", the knife and crossbow arrow collided with each other.
Chen Qingqing was shocked and took several steps back, her wrist hurting.
She knew that these people must be King Ning's mortal enemies. She didn't know who they were exactly, but the person behind the scenes must be no simple person since they were willing to spend a lot of money to kill her.
"You are looking for death." Chen Qingqing was furious. Like a flash of lightning, she rushed to the slightly fat man and kicked him in the crotch.
The fat assassin screamed in pain, holding the part of his body that was kicked and jumping on the spot.
Chen Qingqing's eyes were stern. Seeing another assassin attacking from the right, she moved her hands, grabbed the assassin's arm and threw him over her shoulder. The assassin was thrown to the ground and howled like a pig.
Then she raised her knife and slashed it down. Blood spurted out and the assassin's head tilted and he died.
The remaining two assassins were so frightened that they trembled all over and turned around to run out.
How could Chen Qingqing give them a chance to escape? She quickly raised her crossbow and shot two arrows at their backs.
Before the two men could even utter a word of begging for mercy, they fell down.
After getting rid of all the assassins, Chen Qingqing turned and ran towards the next room.
At the same time, Chu Jiuqing lay on the bed with his eyes closed and his ears pricked up vigilantly.
The masked man in the lead came up to Chu Jiuqing and saw that he was sleeping soundly. He couldn't help but sneered.
"Prince Ning, oh Prince Ning, I never thought that you, the invincible and feared god of war that the enemy feared, would die in my hands. To be honest, I really couldn't bear to kill you, but the temptation of promotion is too great, so I have no choice but to sacrifice you!"
After saying that, the masked man raised his sword and stabbed Chu Jiuqing fiercely.
Chu Jiuqing's heart moved when he heard the words of the man in black.
It was him, the killer who intercepted him last time!
Damn bastard, last time you were careless and got poisoned, which caused your power to be greatly reduced. This time I will never let you escape from my palm.
He felt a powerful sword energy coming from behind him. Chu Jiuqing quickly stood up and raised his hand to slap him, "Go to hell!"
He was so fast and fierce that the leading man in black was completely unprepared and was hit hard on the chest. The palm strike sent him flying and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Boss, are you okay?" Several men in black nearby were startled, obviously stunned by the scene before them!
Chu Jiuqing didn't want to give these people a chance, so he immediately drew out his sword and stabbed the other man in black in the throat.
Before the man in black could react, he felt a chill on his neck, and then a warm liquid sprayed out.
The masked man in the lead covered his chest with his hands, looked at Chu Jiuqing in disbelief, and gritted his teeth, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Kill him quickly!"
The others came back to their senses from the shock, and rushed forward with roars, surrounding Chu Jiuqing and starting to fight.
Suddenly, the dark room was filled with the flash of swords and sabers.
In a short while, all the men in black were killed, their bodies lying in a pool of blood.
Seeing this, the masked man in the lead ran out of the door and disappeared into the night with a few jumps.
Chu Jiuqing was worried about Chen Qingqing's safety, so he didn't chase after her and ran out quickly.
The two met at the door and said at the same time, "Xiaoyu (Qingyatou), are you okay?"
Chen Qingqing shook her head. "It's okay. I'm fine."
Chu Jiuqing breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're okay."
Just as he finished speaking, Zhuifeng walked in from outside and clasped his fists towards Chu Jiuqing, "Your Highness, Zhuyue has led his men to hunt down the masked man, and everyone else has been killed!"
"Okay, check around to see if there are any remnants."
"Yes, sir!"
Zhuifeng had just left when Zhuyue returned with a report, "Your Highness, the masked man has been killed."
Chu Jiuqing nodded with satisfaction, "Well done, clean this place up."
"Yes, Your Highness!" After Zhuyue said this, he suddenly felt a heaviness in his chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the ground.
Chu Jiuqing was startled, "Zhuyue, what's wrong with you?"
Zhuyue's lips turned black and his eyes were dazed. "Your Highness, I seem to have been infected."
Chen Qingqing's expression changed upon seeing this, and she hurried forward to check, "He's been poisoned. Quick, carry him to the bed."
Chu Jiuqing did not dare to delay and quickly picked up Zhuyue and put her on the bed.
Seeing Zhuyue lying unconscious on the bed, his breathing getting weaker and weaker, Chu Jiuqing was anxious, "Qing girl, is he okay?"
"Don't worry, I'll check him first. You hurry to the door and don't let anyone else come in and disturb me." Chen Qingqing had to activate the space to test the blood sample to find out what kind of poison Zhuyue was infected with.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Chu Jiuqing took two steps before turning back and admonishing, "Qing girl, you have to save Zhuifeng no matter what. He's been with me through thick and thin since he was a child. He can't die like this."
