Subsequently, the leader of the men in black personally led a team of elite assassins to launch a fierce attack on the mansion where Xu Yuehuai was located.
Under the cover of night, the leader of the men in black and his men stealthily infiltrated the mansion. They moved through the mansion like ghosts, their movements silent and stealthy.
However, their actions had already been noticed by Yan Qing and the others. Yan Qing, the young guard, had sharp eyes and keen ears. He sensed an unusual aura and immediately became alert.
Shh, I feel like someone's watching us!
"Everyone be careful!"
Xu Yuehuai said, "Why don't we turn the tables on them!"
Then, Yan Qing, the strong man, the general, and others prepared to attack, waiting for the arrival of the assassins in black.
Once the assassins in black entered the ambush area, Yan Qing and his men immediately launched a fierce attack.
They struck like lightning, shattering the silence of the night in an instant. The assassins in black were caught off guard and had no choice but to hastily prepare for battle.
A fierce battle unfolded within the mansion. Although the assassins in black were highly skilled, Yan Qing and his companions were no ordinary opponents either.
Their seamless teamwork and well-organized offense and defense kept the assassins in black constantly on their toes.
The burly man wielded a massive iron hammer, each strike causing the ground to tremble. The general deftly dodged the attacks while launching sharp counterattacks.
Xu Yuehuai stood upstairs, calmly observing the battle. Her gaze was firm and profound, as if it could pierce through all darkness.
"They went that way!"
"That man has a wound on his left shoulder, attack his left shoulder!"
"Be careful, there might be a sneak attack from behind!"
She kept issuing commands, urging everyone to work together closely and fight back against the attacks of the assassins in black.
During the fierce battle, Yan Qing spotted the leader of the men in black. He wore a black cloak and a mask, appearing mysterious and eerie.
Yan Qing's heart tightened; he knew this leader was not easy to deal with.
However, he did not back down, but charged at the leader even more fiercely. The two clashed fiercely.
Yan Qing displayed superb swordsmanship, sometimes as fierce as a storm, sometimes as gentle as a trickle.
The leader of the men in black was not to be outdone; with his profound inner strength, he blocked Yan Qing's attacks time and time again.
The strong men and military generals also displayed astonishing strength. They either overwhelmed their opponents with brute force or won with skill.
Every face was filled with determination, radiating an indomitable spirit.
As the battle progressed, the lights inside the mansion gradually went out.
In the darkness, only the glint of swords flashed. Every clang of metal sent shivers down my spine, every breath filled with tension and anticipation.
However, just as the battle was at its most intense, a bolt of lightning suddenly ripped through the night sky.
Immediately afterwards, thunder rumbled. A torrential downpour soaked everyone.
However, the heavy rain did not stop the battle; instead, it made everyone more determined to resist the assassins in black.
The battle lasted for a long time, and finally, thanks to the valiant resistance of Yan Qing and others, they successfully repelled the attack of the assassins in black!
In the end, the leader of the men in black had no choice but to retreat, disappearing into the night with his remaining troops.
After the battle, the mansion was a complete mess!
Looking at the corpses of the black-clad assassins scattered on the ground, Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
She knew these assassins in black were ruthless criminals who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals. At the same time, she understood a principle: with sufficient strength and preparation, no scheme or trickery could succeed.
"I'll leave everything here to you. I'll take the Soul Jade Fruit to the Prince first!" Xu Yuehuai said, holding the Soul Jade Fruit in his arms.
Yan Qing said, "Alright! Your Highness, you should go quickly!"
Then, Xu Yuehuai rushed into the room and saw Xia Sen still treating Qi Guze's wounds.
Qi Guze's face was extremely pale, and he had fallen into a coma.
"Sister, you're finally back!" Xia Sen's face lit up with joy when he saw the Soul Jade Fruit in Xu Yuehuai's hand.
"Quick! I've already picked the Soul Jade Fruit!" Xu Yuehuai shouted.
"Don't worry, leave everything else to me!"
Xia Sen quickly took the Soul Jade Fruit and carefully dripped its juice onto Qi Guze's wound.
That cold and eerie power instantly spread out, and Qi Guze's body trembled slightly.
Xu Yuehuai watched all of this nervously, her heart pounding in her throat, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
Just then, Qi Guze's wound began to heal gradually, and the bloodstains slowly disappeared.
Xia Sen's face lit up with joy: "It worked!"
Xu Yuehuai also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Qi Guze was out of danger.
Xia Sen said urgently, "Sister, the prince's condition has improved. You should go and change into some dry clothes."
Xu Yuehuai's clothes were dripping wet from the rain. She nodded slightly, her voice a little hoarse: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaosen."
Xu Yuehuai then immediately left her room and hurriedly went to the little princess's room.
She pushed open the door and saw that the little princess was also unconscious, which made her panic. Xu Yuehuai walked to the bedside and carefully observed the little princess's condition, silently praying that she would be alright.
The little princess's room was beautifully decorated, and a faint fragrance filled the air.
Moonlight streamed through the gauze curtains into the room, adding a touch of mystery and tranquility to the night.
Xu Yuehuai felt a mix of emotions; she was worried about the little princess's safety, but also felt a sense of helplessness and despair.
"I'll figure out a way to help later," Xu Yuehuai thought to herself.
Just then, she suddenly noticed a tear sliding down the corner of the little princess's eye. This sight made Xu Yuehuai's heart tremble. She immediately knelt down and gently wiped away the little princess's tear, whispering to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, I will definitely wake you up."
Xu Yuehuai then went to change her clothes and returned to her room.
Qi Guze was still asleep; his face was still pale, but his breathing had become much more steady.
Xu Yuehuai sat by the bed, silently watching over Qi Guze, thinking about how to take care of him until he fully recovered.
"Xiao Sen, thank you for your hard work this time," Xu Yuehuai said softly.
Xia Sen said calmly, "It's nothing, sister. It's all I should do. You take good care of the prince as well. I'll go take care of the little princess now!"
His face showed a hint of fatigue, but his eyes were firm and warm.
"Okay, go ahead. Contact me anytime if you need help!" Xu Yuehuai said.
"Um!"
Xia Sen responded and then turned and left.
As Xu Yuehuai watched Xia Sen's busy figure, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
Having such a caring younger brother by her side during this difficult time brings her immense comfort and happiness.
On the other side, Xia Sen quickly went to the little princess's room and began to take good care of her.
