Hu Qianxiao's attack was truly unstoppable, like a tiger descending the mountain, cleanly and decisively eliminating Xue Han.
Xue Han, as a high-ranking eunuch, naturally possessed considerable cultivation, yet he was utterly powerless against Hu Qianxiao's attacks.
The Second Prince was quite surprised by this. According to his intelligence, Hu Qianxiao and the Crown Prince were exchanging glances, and Hu Qianxiao was probably being won over by the Crown Prince. So why has he now sided with the Little Demon Queen?
The key point is that he's putting in so much effort. Could it be that he's bewitched by that little demon queen and is deliberately showing such a brave side in order to please her?
In his view, this was the only reasonable explanation.
As for Zuan, although he was very active and energetic, he didn't take his opponent seriously at all. Such a guy wasn't qualified to be his opponent.
Although it's a pity that Xue Han died, this is a good opportunity to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
His gaze was fixed on the direction of the Little Demon Queen, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
Almost simultaneously, a black ripple appeared in the air above the palace gate, and a slender sword slashed directly at the young prince.
The Crown Prince is dead, and the Third and Fourth Princes have also been eliminated by the Crown Prince's men. Now, as long as the youngest prince is killed, he will be the sole heir.
With the death of the young prince, the people who had briefly gathered around him crumbled, having just experienced something similar.
As for Hu Qianxiao, he is indeed a bit troublesome, but he is a smart man. By then, the situation will be settled, and he will definitely not take risks for a woman.
bite!
With a crisp sound, the sword that was about to behead the little prince was blocked by a crescent moon.
The second prince's eyes widened in shock; the one who made the move was none other than the stunningly beautiful, busty woman beside Zu An.
Duan Tianchou was a grandmaster with unparalleled assassination skills. Yet this woman, who looked like a pampered concubine kept by a powerful nobleman, was able to block his fatal sword strike.
Duan Tianchou was clearly surprised, but he did not linger in the fight. He immediately opened the black vortex and appeared dozens of feet away in the sky.
The way of the assassin is to flee a thousand miles away if the first strike fails.
He was glad that he always adhered to this supreme principle, because almost the instant he left, a cold sword pierced the spot where he had been, freezing the surrounding air into ice.
If he had been even a fraction slower, that chilling sword strike would have sealed off the surrounding space, making spatial jump impossible.
Two grandmasters!
He wasn't the only one horrified; the Second Prince and his entourage were too.
I never expected the little prince to have such a trump card.
At this moment, Yun Jianyue snorted coldly and stepped into the air, rushing towards Duan Tianchou.
Seeing this, Duan Tianchou even wanted to laugh. What did this woman take me for? She actually dared to chase after one of the world's top assassins.
Countless experts have died by his sword. As long as that woman in white doesn't come to his aid, he's confident he can easily defeat her in a one-on-one fight.
Hmph, in a battle between experts, such two huge burdens on the chest and such long hair, there are flaws everywhere.
Although this woman has a high level of cultivation, when it comes to killing, how can she compare to me?
Over the years, he had actually encountered several masters of the same level, but without exception, they were all only highly skilled in cultivation, but not good at killing, and in the end they all died with resentment at his hands.
However, he soon stopped laughing. What was this tangible killing intent? How could a woman who looked like a top courtesan have such a strong killing intent?
Compared to her, it's as if all the people I've killed over the years are just a junior.
Seeing that Duan Tianchou in the sky seemed to be at a disadvantage, the Second Prince frowned, then said to the old man on his left, "Sixth Uncle, thank you for your help."
The old man sighed, "Your stuff is really hard to earn. We agreed that it was just to help you deal with Old Wu."
He could easily deal with other grunts, but dealing with a Grandmaster was something he was reluctant to do.
The second prince said in a deep voice, "I'll add more money; the previous terms will be doubled."
The old man's eyes lit up: "Alright, I'll help you deal with that woman in white, and I'll leave the rest to you."
The second prince nodded, knowing that as a member of the elders' council, he could not possibly harm the young prince.
The old man walked step by step toward the palace gate, as if there were invisible steps beneath his feet. He looked directly at Yan Xuehen and said, "Young lady, I wonder which school you belong to? Your sword strike just now was truly amazing."
But it wasn't just that sword strike that was stunning; her white robes, flowing hair, and overall presence made her even more breathtaking.
If I had seen him when I was younger, I might have fallen for him.
But now that I'm older, I'm not as strong as I used to be... Well, women only slow down my sword-drawing speed.
Yan Xuehen did not answer; instead, he responded with a sword strike that seemed to fall from the sky.
Seeing this, Zu'an smiled slightly. She had always been like this: a cold face, a cold sword, and a cold personality. Only she herself knew what kind of fiery passion was wrapped under that icy exterior.
The old man's expression changed. He had initially regarded her as a junior because of her young age, but he did not expect that after exchanging blows, she showed no signs of immaturity. Instead, she seemed to be someone who had been a Grandmaster for quite some time.
He dared not relax for a moment and focused on fighting. Soon, terrifying rays of light burst forth from the sky. Both of them knew that the aftershocks of the battle would affect their own people, so they tacitly flew into the clouds to fight.
The second prince withdrew his gaze. The battle above wouldn't end anytime soon, and in the end, the outcome would depend on his side.
