Chapter 435 The Assassin
A dark shadow passed by like a ghost - it was the assassin who had been lurking in the dark! His appearance was like a ghost in the night, silent but with a fierce murderous aura.
Everything was just as Xixi had expected. The assassin chose to launch the attack today, and he was obviously well prepared and had a clear goal.
At this moment, Zhao Shuo'er was still there, and her clear eyes revealed her worries about unknown dangers.
Qin Qixuan couldn't help showing anxiety on his face. He knew that Zhao Shuo'er had a special identity and could not let her get hurt here.
Although Pei Xuanyi was also surprised, he did not show any panic on his face. His eyes were firm, and he was prepared in his heart. He calmly followed the previous tactical arrangement and quickly and decisively directed the secret guards to take action.
Just as everyone was waiting in a serious state, another assassin in black suddenly appeared and rushed towards them like a cheetah. Then, more assassins appeared.
Their movements were swift and sharp, and they were obviously masters.
At the same time, the secret guards that Qin Qixuan and his team had carefully arranged before also appeared quickly like ghosts and faced the assassins. A fierce battle broke out instantly.
Pei Xuanyi reacted quickly. He pulled Qin Xixi to his side, and his small body also built a line of defense for Xixi. His eyes revealed his deep concern and desire to protect Xixi.
Qin Qixuan also came back to his senses. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and quickly and decisively commanded Shadow.
"Protect your young lady! Don't let her get hurt!" His voice was firm and powerful, revealing his unquestionable determination.
Upon hearing this, Shadow flashed and stood guard beside Zhao Shuoer. He was like an indestructible barrier, blocking all dangers for Zhao Shuoer.
After Qin Qixuan gave Shadow instructions, he immediately turned around and went to find Fu Yan with a serious expression.
The two fought side by side to fight against the powerful assassins.
This group of assassins had obviously been strictly trained. Their movements were agile and their moves were fierce. It was obvious that they were not trivial.
Although it is not yet clear who is the mastermind behind them, Qin Xixi always feels that the moves of these assassins are somewhat familiar when she is watching from the side, and they seem to be quite similar to a certain martial arts school she has seen before.
She fell into deep thought, trying to search for more clues from her mind. However, the battle situation is urgent and she cannot be distracted too much.
The battle instantly entered a white-hot stage. Amid the flashes of swords and shadows, Qin Qixuan kept his eyes and ears open, always maintaining a high level of vigilance.
Suddenly, he looked up and found that an assassin was trying to break the door of the dark room! Zui Lan was inside, and he must not let him succeed.
Qin Qixuan immediately flew over and started a fierce fight with the assassin.
His movements were swift and sharp, and each move hit the vital points directly, trying to subdue the assassin as soon as possible. But the assassin was no idle person. He resisted stubbornly and fiercely. The fight between the two was extremely fierce.
Zhao Shuoer stood aside, staring nervously at the battle situation on Qin Qixuan's side.
Her hands were clenched, and her eyes revealed deep worry, fearing that he would make any mistakes in the fight.
The fight was fierce, with the sound of blades colliding and shouts coming one after another, but Zhao Shuoer seemed to be in another world, and all her attention was focused on Qin Qixuan.
Although her heart was full of anxiety and tension, Zhao Shuoer tried to stay calm.
She knew that they were fighting fiercely and she couldn't make any sound so as not to disturb Qin Qixuan.
So, she could only stand aside silently, watching him worriedly, praying in her heart that he would be safe.
However, just when Zhao Shuo'er was nervously paying attention, something happened that made her terrified.
An assassin's blade almost hit Qin Qixuan, and the situation was extremely critical!
Zhao Shuo'er's heart suddenly tightened, and she rushed over without hesitation, wanting to share some of the pressure for Qin Qixuan.
Qin Qixuan was fighting fiercely with the assassin, and suddenly saw Zhao Shuo'er rushing over. He was startled, but then reacted quickly.
He flew over, holding Zhao Shuo'er behind him, and used his body to block the assassin's attack for her. Although Zhao Shuo'er somewhat hindered his movements, Qin Qixuan just frowned and did not blame her.
At the same time, Fu Yan also noticed the dangerous situation here. He tried his best to kill an assassin who tried to sneak attack, and then turned around to join the fight against other assassins.
Under the joint attack of Fu Yan and Qin Qixuan, the assassins fell one after another, and in a blink of an eye, there were only a few assassins left standing.
However, these assassins had obviously been rigorously trained. They were not only skilled in martial arts, but also extremely determined. Each of them came to carry out the mission with the determination to die.
In the fierce battle, they showed extraordinary stubbornness and perseverance.
As the battle continued, some assassins began to realize that they could no longer escape. In this case, they took out poison from their secret bags and took it without hesitation.
These assassins would rather choose death than expose the people behind them, which shows how powerful the people behind them are.
The battle finally ended, and all the assassins were either subdued or chose to commit suicide by taking poison. The scene was in a mess, bloodstained, and weapons and corpses were scattered all over the ground. Although the battle was won, it also came at a great cost.
Qin Qixuan, Pei Xuanyi, Fu Yan and others suffered some minor injuries in the battle, but fortunately none of them were seriously injured.
Zhao Shuoer and Qin Xixi were also safe and sound under their full protection, but their faces were a little pale, obviously frightened by this thrilling battle.
Qin Qixuan took a breath, then frowned and walked towards Zhao Shuoer.
The battle was fierce just now, and he didn't say anything, but Zhao Shuoer's behavior was obviously too dangerous.
Qin Qixuan looked at Zhao Shuoer with obvious tension and blame on his face, and he scolded him sternly.
"Princess Shuo, you are too reckless! How can you just rush out in such a dangerous situation? If something goes wrong, how can we explain to the prince?" Although his tone was stern, the concern and worry revealed in it could not be concealed.
Zhao Shuo'er was frightened by Qin Qixuan's reprimand, and tears began to well up in her eyes. She has lived in the prince's mansion since she was a child. Although she has heard about the bloody storms in the martial arts world, this is the first time she has faced such a battle.
The impulse just now was entirely because she saw Qin Qixuan in danger, and she rushed over without caring about everything in a hurry.
At this time, Fu Yan came over, patted Qin Qixuan's shoulder gently, and signaled him to calm down. Fu Yan said to Qin Qixuan in a gentle tone.
"Qixuan, don't blame Princess Shuo too much. She did this because she was worried about you."
Qin Qixuan listened to Fu Yan's words, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He looked at Zhao Shuo'er's tearful eyes, and the blame in his heart gradually dissipated.
