Chapter 159 Thank you, Your Highness, for protecting her for a while
When the swords and sabers were in full swing, the situation suddenly changed!
The black-clad killers who were originally fighting with Helian Feng suddenly flashed their weapons and rushed towards the blue-clad killer in unison.
At this moment, a charming female voice rang out from the crowd of blue-clothed killers, and her silver bell-like smile pierced the bloody atmosphere:
"Oh, Helian Feng! This is the first time I've seen a killer be so evasive. Or are you just crying thief and deceiving the world?"
Everyone was shocked to see a woman in pink, with a slim figure and a green veil on her face, stepping over the bluestone where corpses were lying. She flew over with her skirt embroidered with gold thread sweeping across the pool of blood, and the soft whip in her hand swung out with a crisp sound.
Beneath the green veil, only a pair of amber pupils remained, with delicate flowers adorning the corners of the eyes. When the eyes moved, they seemed to be dipped in broken stars, which were three times sharper than a poisoned dagger when they were focused.
Xiyan initially thought it was Manluo, but when she saw her figure and eyes, she knew it was not her.
Even though Manluo has thousands of faces, human pupils are the most difficult to describe.
Who is she?
But the woman raised her eyebrows and looked at Helian Feng, whose expression suddenly changed:
"You power-hungry people in Tianqi have set up a really convoluted scheme. You want to lure Xiao Nanyan out to test how many elite troops he has in Tianqi, and then use the name of the Beicang assassin to catch them all in one fell swoop. Even if your plan fails, you will still blame Beicang. How despicable!"
Helian Feng smiled coldly, and the big hand that was hugging Xiyan suddenly tightened:
"I don't know what nonsense you're talking about! But I'm sure this time it's not just hearsay, you're really from Northern Cang!"
"You guessed it right!"
The woman giggled and snapped the whip in her hand:
"This is the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Today, neither you nor Xiao Nanyan can leave! You are the Crown Prince of Tianqi, so taking you down first is like strangling the lifeblood of Tianqi!"
Then, her gaze fell on Xi Yan in Helian Feng's arms:
"This beautiful woman is truly a rare sight. She's enough to provoke the Crown Prince Tianqi, the Regent, and the Second Prince of Nanzhao to come to her rescue. So, let me capture her first!"
As he said that, he swung the whip in his hand, and it shot towards Xiyan's neck like an arrow!
At this moment, Chu Jin killed several blue-clothed assassins. His long sword was like a white snake spitting out its tongue. He picked up the woman's soft whip, shook his wrist, and threw out five poisonous plum blossom nails, attacking the woman's vital parts directly.
The woman smiled sweetly and flew into the air, unexpectedly throwing out a dense shower of silver needles when she landed.
"I've long heard that the Poison King Chu Jin's hidden weapons never fail to hit the target. Today, I want to see whether your poison is more deadly or my needle is faster!"
Before she finished her words, the whip in her hand suddenly turned into three parts and wrapped around Chu Jin's sword like a snake.
Chu Jin sneered, and the moment the sword tip passed through the whip, the poisonous mist exploded.
“Good job!”
The woman seemed to have anticipated this. She tiptoed and flipped over onto the huge bluestone, avoiding the attack of the poisonous fog.
How could Chu Jin let her go? He leaped into the air and pointed his sword directly at the woman's eyebrows.
The two men fought each other, and the flying sparks fell into a pool of blood, startling the birds and making them cry.
"Who are you?" Chu Jin asked sternly.
The woman whipped the whip a few times and said with a smile:
"You have repeatedly used our name to assassinate Xiao Nanyan. How despicable! Today, the real culprit has arrived. We in Beicang are not like you in the Central Plains, who act in a secretive manner!"
"Hmph, that's my guess!"
Chu Jin sneered, "Since you're from Northern Cang, no one of you will leave alive today!"
As he spoke, he raised his sword again and delivered a fatal blow with every move.
Helian Feng shouted:
"What are you still standing there for? Protect the princess and Miss Su first, and leave with me!"
The Shadow and the Soul Killer followed him closely, their swords weaving a dense silver net behind them, blocking all the attacks of the pursuers.
Xie Zhan's secret guards followed closely behind, fighting their way through together with the prince's guards.
The Bei Cang killer whistled like a wolf, chasing after him with his scimitar reflected in the sunlight, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air was endless.
On the other side, Xiao Nanyan's long sword was sheathed, and there was not a single stain of blood on his sleeves.
All the black-clad assassins on his side have been killed, leaving no one alive.
Fu Yunqing looked at the fleeing team not far away, waving his folding fan lightly:
"Hey, the woman you left with Helian Feng, isn't it time to get her back?"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Nanyue had already touched the ground with his toes and soared into the air. His dark figure was like an arrow shot from a bow, rushing forward. After a short while, he had jumped over the battle group and came close to Helian Feng like a ghost.
Without saying a word, he grabbed Xiyan's wrist with his bony hand and pulled it hard.
When Helian Feng saw Xiao Nanyan, his pupils shrank slightly, and he instinctively wanted to pull Xiyan back, but at this moment, the Beicang killer's scimitar stabbed him, and he had no choice but to let go and turn to the side to avoid.
Xiyan screamed and staggered forward due to Xiao Nanyue's strong pull. Then, the silver hairpin in her hair was blown off by a strong wind, and her black hair fell on Xiao Nanyue's chest like a waterfall.
Helian Feng stared at the silver hairpin that fell to the ground. It was the gift he had meticulously carved for Xiyan. Suddenly, a trace of anger welled up in his heart:
"Xiao Nanyan!"
But then he heard Xiao Nanyan already leaving the battle group with Xiyan, with a hint of mockery in his laughter:
"Thank you, Your Highness, for protecting her for a while. You are currently busy with your own affairs, so you should focus on repelling the enemy. They seem to want to kill you. Don't let this little servant of mine be implicated!"
By the time Helian Feng repelled the killer and picked up the fallen silver hairpin, Xiao Nanyue had already hugged Xiyan and retreated several feet away.
