"Capture her! She's just a weak woman. Even if she knows some unorthodox methods, with so many experts like us, she can't possibly defeat us!"
"That's what the masked assassin in the lead said."
They quickly headed towards the direction of Shenling.
Shen Ling's expression changed slightly.
He pulled a small umbrella from his sleeve.
When opened, the umbrella becomes a defensive weapon; when closed, it becomes a weapon capable of attack.
Shen Ling underestimated their determination and the extent of their shamelessness in wanting to capture her.
Facing so many experts, she was indeed struggling.
She knew that with such a situation, even if she escaped to the Hidden City, she would still be unable to escape being captured, and might even implicate Youyou.
A sword was thrusting towards her chest.
Shen Ling had no time to dodge.
At this time,
Gu Mu descended from the sky and pulled Shen Ling into his arms.
Just as Shen Ling was in despair, she suddenly fell into a warm embrace.
All she saw was that familiar and comforting face.
“This is the Northern Frontier,” Shen Ling said, frowning.
This is the northern frontier, and there aren't enough trustworthy guards in the imperial palace.
And there are so many assassins on the other side.
I'm afraid... they are no match for them.
"Don't you believe me?" Gu Mu said with a faint smile.
One hand tightly embraced Chen Ling's waist: "Just watch."
Apart from the first six assassins who fell, there were no other assassins on the other side.
The second batch of assassins numbered even more, a total of twelve.
Judging from their breathing and posture, one can tell that they are all top-notch masters in the martial arts world.
I don't know what Xiao Su was doing; these people were coming to assassinate us without giving us any advance notice.
If Gu Mu hadn't been worried about Shen Ling's safety and hadn't come to check on her, Shen Ling's assassins would probably have been frightened by these people.
Even if Shen Ling was not injured, but merely frightened, these people are still unforgivable.
"Your Majesty, escape quickly... escape! If our people find us, none of these people will escape!" Shen Ling whispered in Gu Mu's ear.
She knew Gu Mu was powerful, but these people... were all top masters in the martial arts world.
No one could possibly defeat these martial arts masters with just one hand while holding a girl in their arms, right?
"Trust me," Gu Mu emphasized softly.
This is the perfect opportunity for him to establish a good image in Shen Ling's mind.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Gu Mu, Shen Ling had no choice but to back down and say, "Then Your Majesty, please let me down. I am not a burden. I can kill a few people myself."
Gu Mu looked at Shen Ling's slightly panicked face.
This girl is always calm.
At this moment, the worry on his face probably stems more from his own concerns.
After all, even if it was just her being tied up, it would still cause trouble for Gu Mu.
What's more, now Gu Mu is in danger with her in order to help her.
"Don't worry, if I put you down, who will protect you?" Gu Mu chuckled lightly, his expression suggesting he didn't take these people seriously at all, seeing them as nothing more than free points.
"You're way too arrogant!"
Clearly, Gu Mu's attitude has angered those martial arts figures.
They were all well-known figures in the martial arts world, and even other martial arts masters would show them deference.
When have I ever been treated like this!
"This time, I'll show you that looking down on others comes at a price!"
Those men, all carrying swords, charged towards Gu Mu.
Despite the attacks from all sides, Gu Mu remained fearless.
But Shen Ling unconsciously gripped Gu Mu's clothes tightly.
Her insects were completely useless against those people's torches.
After all, insects are naturally afraid of fire.
"Your Majesty...be careful..."
Shen Ling could only say softly.
It's not that she doesn't trust His Majesty.
Even if His Majesty wins, she will still be worried in this situation.
After all, it would break her heart if His Majesty were injured.
"Fine." Gu Mu chuckled lightly, his tone still arrogant: "They can't do anything to me!"
"Boy, prepare to die!" The more arrogant Gu Mu's attitude was, the angrier those martial arts figures became.
They believed that Gu Mu would be unable to withstand the attacks from all sides...
Moreover, with one arm holding Shen Ling, Gu Mu only had one hand to fight them.
But to their surprise, Gu Mu vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye...
No! It didn't disappear!
It's not that Gu Mu was too fast!
So in their eyes, it was as if they disappeared on the spot!
It turned out that Gu Mu had spotted their weakness at a glance: the two people blocking his path from directly above.
Because those two people were blocking his path from directly above, trying to leave him with no way to escape.
However, because it floats in the air and is unstable, it is extremely challenging to master light-body skills.
So Gu Mu flicked his spear, scattering the two men and sending them flying out of the encirclement.
And all of this is because he's fast.
If he had been even a step slower, he would probably already be pierced through by those swords from all directions, losing his ability to move.
All of this seems simple, but in reality, Gu Mu had already been on the verge of death.
Shen Ling's heart pounded as she watched, and she unconsciously closed her eyes tightly.
The pain I expected didn't come.
Instead, they heard the furious voices of the martial arts practitioners: "Damn it! He got away!"
Only then did he dare to open his eyes.
Sure enough, she and Gu Mu stood behind those people. Gu Mu was still looking at them with a half-smile, his expression still enough to make those martial arts figures jump up and down: "What can you do to me?"
"Dare to touch my woman? I'll make sure you all die here today!"
The next second, Gu Mu's expression changed, and he said fiercely.
His face was filled with a murderous aura.
He no longer waited for those martial arts figures to make the first move, but instead spun his spear and stepped towards them.
Gu Mu had fought on many battlefields, and the battles he fought most often were those where he won with fewer troops.
As an emperor, he often led the charge.
When he penetrated deep into enemy territory
The enemies around them far outnumbered these dozen or so martial arts practitioners.
Having already experienced fighting against a hundred men, Gu Mu was not afraid at all!
Sure enough, he brandished his spear, and soon, two martial arts practitioners fell before him.
These martial arts practitioners are masters, that's from a universal perspective.
But Gu Mu is no ordinary person.
If we had to make a combat strength assessment, these experts are slightly inferior to the young man in green robes, and Gu Mu was able to defeat the young man in green robes long ago.
Not to mention the astonishing growth rate now.
"How could this be?" The people stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "How could this be? How could this be?"
"How can someone be so strong..." someone added to the previous incoherent sentence.
"This isn't human, it's a monster!"
At this moment, they saw that Gu Mu's expression was no longer one of anger caused by Gu Mu's arrogance.
Instead, it was an expression of fear.
One kind of expression is the one of terror that comes from seeing a ghost.
