64 Injured (1/2)

Four of the guards suffered from a stab wound to their chest or abdomen from the first ambush while the head guard tried to hold off the others sustaining small injuries.

The attacks were done by low rank cultivators and mortals so it was no surprise that their attacks did not kill the guards.

However because of them being much lower in strength the guards had ignored them as they were no threat to them but in such a crowded space with poor visibility the chances of picking someone out of the crowd would be difficult.

If it was a higher ranked cultivator mixed in within the crowd then the guards would of noticed sooner there was a problem.

Even a cultivator can be killed by the blade of an ordinary person if they let down their guard.

The prince was surprised by the sudden attack, he would never think that he would be targeted at this moment.

His thoughts had been on how much money he would spend on curing his sister and what he would gain from doing so.

Although the guards kept a tight formation around the prince and princess the sudden attack was mostly aimed towards the guards.

In response the four guards grabbed onto the wrist of those holding the blades in their body with one hand and with the other punched towards their heads killing them instantly.

The head guard suffered the least damage grabbed the remaining man who attacked and held him down. ”Who sent you!?”

The sudden events of the attack and counter attack caught the eyes of some in the crowd and some began to push and panic.

The guards drew out their swords from their waist as did the head guard.

”Back off!” The head guard shouted as he spotted something wrong, the crowd of people were in chaos and bumping into eachother and he noticed more people heading towards his location.

The crowd however grew more flustered at the sight of blood and the dead bodies.
