Chapter 130
A sharp arrow pierced the air!
That target is the person in the main seat.
The imperial guards beside the emperor of the Min Dynasty immediately blocked the arrow that pierced the clouds!
A stern voice cried out, "Protect His Majesty!"
Immediately, the surrounding guards surrounded the emperor, on guard against the possibility of an assassin attack, and were extremely concerned about the emperor's safety.
A second arrow appeared!
The third arrow!
The fourth arrow!
In an instant, more than a dozen arrows appeared, piercing the air!
Just as the Imperial Guards were about to block the arrows, they saw a group of men in black appear out of thin air from the peach grove.
The head of the Imperial Guards immediately ordered, "Protect His Majesty!"
He immediately cut off the arrow that was already approaching him and charged forward with murderous intent.
Several members of the Imperial Guard followed, and the remaining Imperial Guards immediately surrounded the emperor.
Empress Sun was also protected by a group of maids.
The women in front of the hall were in complete chaos, and they began to flee their seats after the Cloud-Piercing Arrow appeared.
"Ahhhhh!"
"My shoes!!"
"Don't push me!"
"Run! Run!"
"Ahhhhh, don't pull me!"
......
Yingning's seat was near the main seat. When the assassin appeared, she moved slightly and retreated to a corner under a peach grove.
Where did these assassins come from?
Yingning sized up the group of men in black and found that their martial arts skills were above average, but they were certainly no match for the Imperial Guards in the palace.
With such limited strength, attacking the emperor would not yield any chance of success.
So why would someone do something so self-destructive?
Yingning shifted her gaze and found that the group of men in black were stopped by several Imperial Guards not far from the front of the hall.
Suddenly, with a whoosh.
It was a member of the Imperial Guard who sounded the signal for the fireworks.
The Imperial Guards will surely arrive soon.
Upon hearing this, the group of men in black intensified their attack, displaying a determination to die!
Strangely, although their swords were faster and their eyes were more gloomy, only a few of them managed to entangle the Imperial Guards in front of the palace, and they did not take the opportunity to attack His Majesty the Emperor again.
What is the purpose?
Neither the Crown Prince nor Yan Qizhen were skilled swordsmen; at this moment, they simply ordered their guards to surround and eliminate the group of men in black.
He immediately rushed to the emperor's side, picked up his long sword, and stood guard beside him.
The Emperor of the Min Dynasty, surrounded by several Imperial Guards, quickly realized the situation was no longer as critical as before:
"Who are you?!"
"Who sent you to assassinate me?!" His voice was drowned out by the swords, but no one in black answered him.
The Emperor of the Min Dynasty, thinking of the arrow that had just pierced the clouds, immediately turned ashen-faced!
No sooner said than done, the sound of clouds breaking came again.
This time, it's three arrows!
During the fight with the man in black, the Imperial Guard managed to cut two arrows in half, but this also exposed a weakness to the man in black.
In an instant, the two Imperial Guards suffered several wounds under the flashing blades.
Once they felt the pain, the two Imperial Guards inevitably slowed down, and they gradually found themselves at a disadvantage in their fight against the group of men in black.
But the last arrow was unexpectedly and cleaved in two!
Zhao Ruimin's actions were quite decisive, proving that her martial arts skills were not just for show.
After she cut the arrow, she became entangled with two men in black, which temporarily relieved the pressure on the Imperial Guards.
Seeing this, the emperor was finally relieved.
"This eldest daughter of the Zhao family is a wise and skilled martial artist."
"The Duke of Zhao has raised a fine child," the emperor said, but suddenly felt a sense of danger approaching.
A flash of cold light!
With a soft "pfft".
Blood gushed out from his shoulder.
The dagger's attack was blocked by the arrow; it didn't even strike a vital spot!
When the Imperial Guard failed in his first attack, he immediately changed direction again, aiming for the emperor's chest!
The emperor clutched his shoulder and chest, retreating step by step.
"you...."
The blood on his shoulder stained his dragon robe, and his once radiant face now appeared unexpectedly ferocious.
The ruthless look in the eyes of the Imperial Guard wielding the dagger was already evident. His attack failed to kill the emperor, so he temporarily turned his attention to the person who had blocked his way.
The fourth prince, Yan Qizhen, had never used a sword before, so his sword-wielding skills were somewhat rusty.
Faced with the well-trained Imperial Guards, they were almost powerless to resist.
A few clanging sounds.
Yan Qizhen's longsword was knocked down, and a cold light flashed towards his neck!
"Qizhen!" the emperor exclaimed.
In a moment of desperation, the Fourth Prince Yan Qizhen used his arm to block the attack, which resulted in the Imperial Guard's robe being slashed open, the cut penetrating deep into his flesh.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Fourth Prince Yan Qizhen had lost his weapon, the Imperial Guards turned around and attacked the Emperor's location!
The crown prince stood in front of the emperor, raising his sword.
The Imperial Guards abandoned their daggers and once again used their embroidered longswords as weapons, their killing intent palpable as they prepared to cut down all obstacles in their path.
Just in time!
A bell rang, and the beaded chain became an immortal artifact.
Suddenly, a series of delicate silver chains were wrapped around the Embroidered Spring Blade, and the chains looked like a woman's ornament.
The Imperial Guard, unable to move his embroidered spring knife, turned to look in surprise at the figure holding the treasure chain.
Yingning tightened the chain on her wrist, firmly restraining the Embroidered Spring Knife.
It was only then that the Imperial Guards realized that what looked like a silver chain was actually forged from a rare silvery metal!
At the end of the chain, the girl wrapped it around her wrist, and several glass stones were wrapped around the pure white surface, giving it a somewhat exotic feel.
Then, she exerted her inner strength and became locked in a stalemate with the invincible Embroidered Spring Blade in her hand.
The Imperial Guard assassin felt the force on his blade!
Unexpectedly, Princess Zhaoning was actually a martial arts expert.
With her blocking the way, she might not be able to complete the task her master entrusted to her for the time being!
The Imperial Guard swiftly drew his sword, intending to break free from Ying Ning's grasp.
But unexpectedly, she leaped into the air and used the force to move herself away from the emperor and the crown prince once again!
"Princess Zhaoning, mind your own business!" the Imperial Guard said menacingly.
"You'd better watch your life!" Ying Ning flicked her thin whip, which flew back directly from the Embroidered Spring Blade. The next second, a sharp gust of wind immediately attacked the assassin!
The Imperial Guard assassin dodged to the side, but unexpectedly, Ying Ning changed the direction of the whip again, instantly leaving a bloody mark on his face.
Yingning did not stop while she was at it. Instead, she took a step forward and immediately leaped up, using her whip as a serpent and the shadow of the serpent as a sharp blade.
The next lash was even more powerful!
The assassin realized that the princess from the Western Regions was now filled with murderous intent and would no longer be willing to make way for him!
If we want to achieve our master's goal, we must kill this troublesome Princess Zhaoning!
The Embroidered Spring Blade flashed, exuding a murderous aura.
The Imperial Guard assassin reacted immediately, closing in to cut off Ying Ning's arm!
Yingning immediately took a few steps back, widening the distance between the two, and once again lashed out with her whip, intending to use the distance to trap the Embroidered Spring Blade.
The assassin learned his lesson after being burned once, and immediately became wiser.
Each time they dodged the whip's attack, they gradually prepared to look for the next opportunity.
In a short while.
The two have already exchanged more than ten blows!
Upon seeing this, the Imperial Guards became anxious.
His eyes hardened, and instead of blocking the whip, he risked his life to lunge forward, seemingly determined to take the whip himself and get close to Ying Ning!
The people in front of the palace who were secretly watching the battle were also greatly surprised.
Yingning realized it was too late to back down, so she decided to take a gamble!
But at this moment,
Suddenly, the sound of wind was heard, followed by the sharp clang of swords, which was like a sudden clap of thunder.
A long sword blocked the Embroidered Spring Blade!
