Hei Wusha hid on the only road back to the capital, blending into the towering trees, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.
He underestimated the strength of Prince Ning. He thought that he and Bai Wusha could definitely take their lives, but he did not expect to be defeated so miserably.
Unable to swallow his anger, Hei Wusha quickly pulled out his most prized hidden weapon, the "Shadowless Pear-Slaying Needle," from his robes.
The Shadowless Pear-Slaying Needle is a top-secret hidden weapon of the Tang Clan. He and Bai Wusha were both disciples of the Tang Clan and were fellow disciples.
Because of their violent and lecherous natures, they frequently traveled to various places to steal women and commit other illicit acts, which led to their expulsion from the Tang Clan after their master found out.
However, on the day he was expelled from his sect, he stole the Tang Sect's invincible hidden weapon, the "Shadowless Killing Needle".
The Shadowless Killing Needle contains 108 highly poisonous steel needles, each as thin as an embroidery needle, which can be fired continuously.
The steel needle, once inserted into a person's body, will automatically explode into barbs, embedding itself firmly in the flesh and blood, killing silently.
After being expelled from their sect, they changed their names and became known as Black and White Fiends, roaming the martial world.
He never dared to use this item to kill anyone, for fear of revealing his identity and being hunted down by the Tang Clan.
Now that Bai Wusha has died tragically, not a single one of his 30,000 assassins remains, and he has fled in disarray.
If this gets out, how will he maintain his standing in the underworld?
No, we absolutely cannot let Prince Ning and that damned girl get away with this.
He twirled the Shadowless Pear-Slaying Needle in his hand, a fierce glint in his eyes.
Even if he's being hunted down by the Tang Clan, he'll still kill that evil woman and Prince Ning.
Once they are dead, he will have solved a major problem for the Crown Prince.
Once the crown prince ascends the throne, he will become a great contributor and hide in the palace.
No matter how powerful the Tang Clan is, what can they do to him?
Night falls.
Four horses galloped along the official road.
Since leaving Anyang, they have faced dozens of attacks, large and small, all of which were easily thwarted by the group. However, the closer they get to the capital, the stronger the sense of danger becomes.
Chu Jiuqing never dreamed that Chu Jinxuan would send tens of thousands of assassins to take his life. He hoped that tonight would be a peaceful night.
After tonight, we will arrive in Kyoto early tomorrow morning, rescue the Emperor of Chu, and Chu Jinxuan, your death is imminent.
Hei Wusha concealed himself and looked at the horses galloping towards him in the distance, a contemptuous smile appearing in his eyes.
Prince Ning is highly skilled in martial arts. If we were to kill him, the Shadowless Killing Needle would probably be discovered before it even reaches him, so it's not the best option.
Although that woman was wicked, she was also his primary assassination target.
If he kills her, Prince Ning will be unable to cure the Chu Emperor's illness, and he will have done a great service.
Having made up his mind, Hei Wusha raised the Shadowless Killing Needle in his hand, aimed it at the speeding group, and pressed the mechanism with a cold smile.
The Shadowless Pear-Slaying Needles shot towards Chen Qingqing like a torrential rain, their blades gleaming with a cold light, resembling deadly meteors in the moonlight.
rustling...
The faint sound broke the silence, and the birds panicked, flapping their wings and flying away in a series of frantic arcs across the sky.
"Master, quickly bend down and lower your head, someone is trying to assassinate you."
The birds took flight in fright, and Chen Qingqing sensed something was wrong. Looking up, she saw several objects gleaming with a cold light approaching her.
Hearing Xiao Jie's reminder again, her pupils contracted sharply, and she quickly bent down and grabbed the horse's neck with one hand.
He swiftly retrieved a crossbow from his spatial storage and, by the moonlight, spotted a hazy figure hidden in a large tree.
Raising his hand, he sidestepped and fired a crossbow bolt at the shadowy figure...
At the same time, he shouted a warning, "Everyone be careful, someone is launching hidden weapons! Quickly bend down and hold onto your horses tightly!"
Hei Wusha was initially shocked by Chen Qingqing's sudden bending over. Had this brat developed night vision? How had she discovered him?
Seeing that the shooting attempt had failed, the Shadowless Killing Needle quickly aimed at Chu Jiuqing and the others.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, firing continuously...
Although none of the men were injured, the horse that collapsed was poisoned by the Shadowless Killing Needle and immediately fell to the ground and died.
At the same time, Chen Qingqing fired a crossbow bolt that pierced through the woods, heading straight for Hei Wusha's left eye.
Hei Wusha's eyes widened in terror; it was too late to dodge.
With a hiss, an arrow pierced his eye, and blood streamed down his cheek...
Chu Jiuqing rose into the air and flew towards Chen Qingqing.
He quickly lifted Chen Qingqing from the horse that was about to fall, turned around, and landed steadily on the ground.
Chen Qingqing was startled. The horses were galloping too fast; jumping off a horse was the same as jumping off a carriage—it would mean death or serious injury.
Fortunately, Chu Jiuqing arrived in time, otherwise she would have been smashed to pieces.
Chasing the Wind and Chasing the Moon had already flown towards the direction of Black Fiend.
Thump... Before Hei Wusha could react, he was kicked by Zhui Feng and fell to the ground.
Hei Wusha is now experiencing not only eye pain, but also severe back pain.
Chasing Wind vented his anger, each kick harder than the last, sending Hei Wusha flying like a soccer ball before he crashed heavily to the ground.
He continued kicking, and Hei Wusha was kicked around like a puppet.
After a brief moment of confusion, Hei Wusha lay on the ground, unable to move.
Chasing the wind and the moon, they lowered their guard.
Hei Wusha's brows furrowed, and he kept yelling "Ahhh!"
He concealed the murderous intent in his eyes, then suddenly sprang to his feet, his Shadowless Pear-Slaying Dagger aimed at Chasing Wind.
"Don't move, or I'll send you to meet your ancestors right now!"
Zhui Feng laughed dismissively, "Such arrogance! What can your lousy thing do to me?"
Black Fiend's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but his gaze toward Chasing Wind held a hint of pity. "If you don't believe me, try moving and see if I can take your life. If you don't want to die, get back now."
Chen Qingqing knew something was wrong. The steel needle was poisoned. If it hit a vital spot, the person would be crippled even if they didn't die.
She quickly drew her crossbow and aimed it at Hei Wusha's head, sternly warning, "Put down your weapon, or you won't leave here alive."
Chu Jiuqing also stepped forward with his sword drawn. "The Tang Clan's hidden weapon, the Shadowless Pear-Slaying Needle, I wonder what will happen to you if I tell the Tang Clan this news?"
Hei Wusha was startled. "You, you recognize this hidden weapon?"
"I know them, but I am a direct disciple of the Tang Clan. Today I will clean house for the sect."
"You, you dare." Hei Wusha's face turned pale. He never expected that Prince Ning was actually the sect leader's personal disciple.
Now that the initiative had been lost, staying any longer would only lead to losses. Ignoring the pain, he quickly turned and flew into the dense forest, soon disappearing into the woods...
Chu Jiuqing disregarded everything else and hurriedly asked Chen Qingqing, "Qing'er, are you hurt?"
"I'm fine, don't worry." Chen Qingqing squatted down to check the horse and saw the steel needle embedded in the horse's neck. She reached out to remove it, only to find that the needle was buried in the flesh.
He took out a scalpel from the cloth bag and dug down into the area where the steel needle had been removed. Seeing the removed needle, he frowned slightly.
"What a vicious hidden weapon! Not only is it poisonous, but it also has hidden spikes."
She was curious about who was so unwilling to let Chu Jiuqing return to the capital alive, but she didn't dare to ask.
The more you know about royal affairs, the faster you'll die; maintaining a proper distance is the way to survive...
