It's clear these people have some training, but being sent to the palace as servants meant they were destined to be of low aptitude. Despite their skills, they were no match for these ferocious assassins.
Soon, many people screamed and fell into pools of blood.
The empress frowned slightly and finally moved. A jade-like hand reached out, the movement was slow, but the assassin opposite her couldn't dodge it at all and watched helplessly as the beautiful hand pressed down on her head.
He usually enjoyed going to brothels and theaters, and he especially enjoyed the service of the girls' soft little hands. The hands in front of him were more beautiful than any hands he had ever seen before, fair and tender... If he encountered such hands in a brothel, he would probably be overjoyed.
Now he was flying too, and he felt his whole body become very light, and then... nothing more.
Everyone stared in disbelief at this scene. Even Zu An couldn't help but glance at it. Although he had expected the Empress to be strong, this was just too strong!
Then the jade-like hand moved again, pressing directly towards the chest of another assassin. The assassin wanted to dodge, but found that the surrounding air seemed to have turned into a solid wall, and he could not move at all. He could only watch in despair as the beautiful yet terrifying hand pressed down.

She hurriedly raised her hand to deal with the attack. Although her skill was hard to muster, her eyesight remained sharp, and she narrowly avoided several assassins' deadly moves.
But the fist from behind was unavoidable. The fist glowed with a yellowish-brown light. An earth-elemental cultivator, drawing upon the power of the earth, delivered a punch heavier than a thousand pounds.
The punch landed on her back, and she coughed up another mouthful of blood. With her last bit of strength, she flew away.
She wanted to use the force of the punch to rush outside. There was Eunuch Lü and the guards of Kunning Palace outside, who were much more useful than the eunuchs and maids here.
Unfortunately, she underestimated the long-standing injuries within her body.
Halfway through the flight, her vital energy suddenly depleted, and she fell directly from the sky, landing on Zu An below.
Zu An instinctively caught it: "???"
