Mu Chenshuang frowned as she looked at the woman who was standing not far away.
"Princess Weiyang, we meet again," the woman said in a light and charming voice.
The man in black carrying Feng Anxue stepped back to her side.
"The Night Assassins are truly lawless and audacious, daring to openly kidnap the imperial princess."
The fact that the assassins dared to openly carry out assassinations and arrests during the day, given that the imperial city is a gathering place for experts, can only mean that they already have people inside the city.
Ji Ying smiled and said, "Princess Weiyang is worried about Her Highness the Princess. I heard that Princess Weiyang stole Her Highness the Princess's beloved."
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyelids slightly, drew a sword from a guard beside her, and stepped forward. "We should settle the score from last time."
Ji Ying toyed with the gold flower in her hand, casually curving her lips into a seductive smile. "Not this time, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
The words had barely left his mouth.
A sword blade attacked Ji Ying with lightning speed, and the powerful sword energy forced the black-clad man standing in front of her to retreat.
Ji Ying's eyes sharpened instantly. She reacted immediately, tiptoed, and quickly turned her body backward, facing away from the lake. The tip of her sword was pointed directly at her brow, exuding a fierce killing intent. Her toes skimmed across the lake, creating ripples.
In an instant.
A towering column of water surged from the lake, accompanied by a series of ear-piercing metallic clanging sounds. Purple and gold light intertwined between the water columns, forming a powerful airflow that ripped off the roofs of houses on the shore. The countless water blades, imbued with a chilling aura, could kill without a trace.
On the deck, the battle was fierce, and corpses littered the ground.
Qi Ye engaged in a fierce battle with the black-clad men who had taken Feng Anxue hostage.
Reinforcements arrived quickly, and the men in black, realizing the situation was dire, had to retreat immediately.
On the surface of the lake.
Ji Ying was unable to break free. A fleeting shadow flashed past in her peripheral vision, and before she could turn around, she saw the sharp sword pierce her back. Suddenly, a force wrapped around her waist, and her entire body was pulled away from the attack range.
Mu Chenshuang reacted, sheathed her sword, and charged up a punch and a palm strike to meet the red-clad man who had suddenly attacked.
The two palms clashed, creating a powerful gust of air.
Mu Chenshuang was so shocked that she was forced to retreat, clearly because she was not strong enough to deal with the man in red in front of her.
Before her body could find any support, she was embraced by strong arms and fell into a familiar and powerful embrace. The man's scent filled her nostrils, and her heart felt inexplicably at peace.
Mu Chenshuang looked up at Fu Junheng, and a handsome, deep, and aloof profile came into view. His silver hair fluttered in the wind, and the sunlight fell on his fair face, radiating a dazzling light.
But at this moment, his face was filled with gloom. Holding the woman in one arm, he gathered power in his palm, and countless water blades condensed in mid-air to attack the two of them. The powerful force accompanying them was far beyond what the internal energy he had used in the previous battle could match. If they were not careful, they would be torn to pieces by these water blades.
In the blink of an eye.
The two disappeared from the lake surface using the barrier created by the water.
Mu Chenshuang came to her senses and said, "Let's go save them first."
If something were to happen to Feng Anxue, although she wouldn't bear direct responsibility, the Emperor would definitely blame her for not protecting Feng Anxue.
However, Fu Junheng carried her to the shore. The man lowered his eyes, his golden pupils revealing a gentle yet fierce expression.
Where are you injured?
His concerned tone carried a hint of coldness, as if he could tear the person who hurt her to pieces if she were injured again.
Mu Chenshuang snapped out of her daze and replied, "I'm fine."
