“Swish, swish, swish…”
The dart thrown by the man in black flew towards the roof not far away, and then several masked men in black with darts stuck in their hearts fell to the ground.
The assassin leader in the dark obviously did not expect the accident to happen. Seeing that the sneak attack failed and several of her own people were killed, she became furious and ordered everyone to shoot all the arrows again.
"careful!"
Bai Yuheng, dressed in black and with a black veil covering his face, used the poisonous arrow he had just caught as a weapon, dancing quickly and making clang clang clang sounds to block the arrow that the assassin shot at Hua Qingcheng again.
Although she didn't know who the man in black was, he had helped her, and Hua Qingcheng wasn't the type to hide behind someone and wait for protection. While the man in black was blocking the arrow, Hua Qingcheng pulled out a loaded pistol from her bosom and fired rapidly in the direction of the arrow.
Soon, another row of masked men in black fell to the ground.
"Fuck you!" the assassin leader cursed furiously. Seeing that they had run out of poison arrows, she shouted, "Come on, now!"
Following the order from the assassin leader, a group of masked men in black holding swords suddenly flew out from all directions, about thirty or forty of them.
"There is an assassin! Students of Class D, listen up and evacuate the training ground immediately." Xiahou Yu shouted loudly.
After all the students except Hua Qingcheng evacuated, Xiahou Yu used his Qinggong skills to fly forward and started fighting with the masked man in black.
The commotion on the training ground quickly attracted the attention of the Imperial College patrol guards, and a team of guards arrived soon.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" The leader of the Imperial College's guards asked Hua Qingcheng with concern.
"That's fine." Hua Qingcheng continued to shoot at the assassin, saying, "Capture the assassin first!"
"Yes, Your Highness." After sending a signal to the sky, the leader of the guards led his guards to fight against the masked man in black.
At this moment, the man in black and Hua Qingcheng stood back to back. The man in black was responsible for intercepting the assassins who approached them, while Hua Qingcheng shot each assassin with her pistol. The two of them, one attacking and the other defending, coordinated extremely well. For a moment, those masked men in black could not get close to them.
"Damn it!" the assassin leader cursed inwardly. She hadn't expected this operation to go so wrong. Furthermore, the sudden appearance of the man in black made her feel very suspicious.
Seeing that the number of guards was increasing, while there were less than ten of their own people left, if this continued, they would not only fail to complete the mission, but might even be wiped out.
"Retreat!" The assassin leader gave the order without hesitation.
However, just as they were about to retreat, Hua Qingcheng loaded her pistol again and shot at them rapidly. In less than a moment, the few remaining assassins fell to the ground.
"Nalan Qingcheng, you... are really great!" the assassin leader said gritting his teeth.
If she had not been so skilled in martial arts and agile, she might have been killed by the enemy's hidden weapons like her subordinates.
"Bang bang bang..." Hua Qingcheng raised her gun and shot at the assassin leader, but the opponent was like a slippery loach, and she missed the target every time.
"Bang!" The assassin leader gritted his teeth and threw a smoke bomb, threw a dart at Hua Qingcheng, and then fled.
"Be careful!" The man in black saw this and had no time to think. He directly put his arms around Hua Qingcheng's slender waist, used his lightness skills to fly up, and used his body to block her.
"Puff~" was the sound of a dart hitting the flesh, and the man in black immediately started bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
This dart... is coated with poison!
Bai Yuheng's lips, beneath the black scarf, had turned black and numb, and he felt a little dizzy. However, despite this, he still held Hua Qingcheng and landed on the ground before letting her go.
"Hey, are you okay? Who asked you to meddle in other people's business? I'm wearing a Tiancan robe and they can't hurt me." Seeing the man in black bleeding from the back due to a dart, Hua Qingcheng said worriedly.
“Don’t touch!”
Seeing Hua Qingcheng actually trying to scratch his back with her bare hands to check for injuries, Bai Yuheng quickly spoke out to stop her, "This dart... is... poisonous. I just hope you're okay."
Bai Yuheng finished speaking and immediately flew away. He was afraid that if he delayed any longer, the poison would take effect and his identity would be exposed.
"Hey, hero... don't go!" Seeing the man in black who had disrupted the assassin's operation was about to leave, Xiahou Yu's eyes turned cold. He was about to fly to chase him, but was stopped by Hua Qingcheng.
"Master Xiahou, don't you care whether your students are injured?" Hua Qingcheng looked at Xiahou Yu coldly.
Although she couldn't explain why, Hua Qingcheng knew that she would be right to oppose anything this guy wanted to do.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Xiahou Yu, as a teacher of riding and archery, had no reason to leave after her student was attacked, especially since this student was the current princess.
On the other side, after leaving the training ground, Bai Yuheng walked around the Imperial College before returning to the Anxiang Pavilion.
"Master, you...what happened to you?" Zizhu was very worried when she saw her master coming back injured.
"This young master has fallen into Leng Qingqiu's trap. Go and get the detoxification pills and the golden wound medicine." Bai Yuheng pulled off his veil. His handsome face was now as pale as paper, and his lips were getting darker and darker.
Bai Yuheng had just been struck by a poisoned dart, and with the added bonus of using Qinggong, the poison was rapidly spreading throughout his body. If he hadn't immediately used his internal energy to protect his heart meridians, he would have been dead by now.
"Oh oh oh..." Although Zizhu didn't know what was going on, there was no time to explain it to him.
