Chapter 213 (1/2)

Attachment (2)

This vest made of Vermilion Bird feathers was a sophisticated alchemy item. It was made of such a special material, and etched on it was a very complicated protective alchemy formation. This combination automatically protected the wearer from Menqi and magic.

However, even a formation like this wasn’t unbreakable, nor could it work forever!

An attack with a huge amount of force could break this formation, though its impact would be weakened in the process. It might not guarantee the wearer’s complete safety, but it would decrease the effects of an attack!

At the same time, if its energy depleted too quickly, and the formation hadn’t had enough time to recharge, its defence mechanism would disappear too!!

That was why Princess Longji had to use her own martial art skills to dodge attacks and protect herself. She knew that the vest was only insurance, but it wasn’t complete protection!

Coldblood One was very clear about this point, that was why he sent the spirit girl for the assassination. This was the only way to kill her in one swipe, not like what was happening now!

To assassinate a person like Princess Longji was difficult. If they didn’t have a method to kill her immediately, then the process would be as difficult as entering the heavens. The price to pay would be very, very huge too!!

Now, the Coldblood Group had already exposed Coldblood Seven and the spirit girl, and all these people.

That’s right. These people were Coldblood members. They had already infiltrated the guards, and wouldn’t usually communicate with the Coldblood Group. They were exactly like regular guards. Secret weapons that would never be used unless absolutely necessary!!

Right now, the Coldblood Group had sacrificed the Marge family and these guards. The cost was rising every second, and it wasn’t the end yet!

Coldblood Seven continued raining her attacks, while Princess Longji retreated backwards. When it seemed like she was about to reach a safe area, something happened!

Did it mean that this assassination was planned by him?

Facing Princess Longji, he jabbed his sword, dashing towards Princess Longji like lightning!

“Longguang!! You…” roared the emperor in fury. He couldn’t continue his sentence, because he was utterly speechless.

Longguang was the last plot twist. This man who was thrusting his sword at Princess Longji was part of the royal family, Princess Longji’s own brother, and of course the emperor’s son!

However, Longguang wasn’t part of the Prince Party, nor was he part of her group. He’d always been a lone wolf, always neutral and never interfering with the conflicts between the royal members!

And that was why no one would’ve suspected a person like him. Although when you think about it, anything could happen within a family like the royals.

She couldn’t dodge this unexpected jab, only trying her best to move and at the same time praying her Vermilion feather vest still worked.

The heavens seemed to be helping Princess Longji. She successfully avoided danger, for the vest worked its last drop of power by halving the impact of the thrust.

It only helped her avoid fatal wounds, she was still hurt. With this one thrust, she suddenly lost her strength. It was a deep cut!

Prince Longguang’s sword stopped in her body, but the prince didn’t. Instead of pulling the sword out, he used the fastest attack by pushing her towards Coldblood Seven with the full force of a palm. The Coldblood Group’s assassination team was there.

Pfft… She spat blood, her wounds becoming more severe. It was her turn to feel what Coldblood Seven felt. More importantly, she was now within range of the team.
