As the raindrop burst open, flashes of light appeared.
Underneath the bamboo hats, killing intent as cold as icebergs suddenly engulfed the entire store. Four rays of light flashed with the sound of clashing metals, reflecting the sharpness of the blades as they stabbed toward the refined and gentle third prince from all directions.
The humming of the swords resounded within the tiny space of the store, assaulting their eardrums.
Within that instant when the flashes of light appeared, Bu Fang grabbed onto the petite body of Ouyang Xiaoyi and pulled her behind him to prevent her from getting embroiled in the carnage.
Assassination! This was an attempt to assassinate Ji Chengxue!
Ji Chengxue seemed to have expected it. He calmly sat on the chair with an indifferent expression.
The moment when the four assassins approached, Ji Chengxue's long hair suddenly fluttered on its own. His gentle eyes seemed to have undergone a huge transformation as it changed into the eyes of an Asura; it was as if mountains of corpses and an endless sea of blood were wallowing within.
”To have sent four fifth grade Battle-Kings to assassinate me, what an extravagant move.” Ji Chengxue snorted as a surging wave of true energy gushed out of his body and charged toward the deadly assassins.
However, the assassins remained steadfast and continued to aim for Ji Chengxue's heart. They were professionals that focused on killing with a single strike and would definitely not be affected by any of Ji Chengxue's actions.
Ji Chengxue's palm landed on the table. The true energy of a Battle-King was instantly released and generated an impact that resulted in his entire body soaring into the air.
”Hmm?” Ji Chengxue's pupils slightly constricted as he looked in horror toward the table that he smacked with all of his strength. ”This table endured my true energy, yet it's actually intact?!”
The sound of clashing metals echoed out.
The tip of the swords of the four assassins collided together. A clear melodic sound rang out as the energy from the swords dispersed and erupted within the store.
However, the explosion of the sword energy from the four Battle-Kings did not cause any damage to the store in the slightest. It was as if the explosion was dispersed by an invisible force.
Ji Chengxue's figure was floating in the air and gradually landed on the tip of the swords; his white robes were hovering and his hair was fluttering.
The five of them formed a strange standstill, but the surging energy around them undoubtedly displayed the dangers of the current moment.
The mood within the store was filled with coldness from this clash of killing intent. This made Bu Fang very dissatisfied.
Within the quiet store, only the true energy collision between the five of them could be heard.
”If you're looking for a fight, please leave the store. Otherwise, you'll all be viewed as troublemakers,” a serene voice suddenly sounded out.
The sudden appearance of the voice was like a thunderclap to them within this serious atmosphere, causing them to be shocked.
The little loli, Ouyang Xiaoyi, was looking at Bu Fang like he was a monster as he slowly walked toward the five of them.
That was right!
At such a perilous moment, Bu Fang expressionlessly opened his mouth and voiced out his unhappiness. How was he going to do business with them causing carnage within the store?
The four assassins were all focused on Ji Chengxue, but became distracted by Bu Fang's interruption.
Even though Ji Chengxue was taken aback as well, he was able to make use of this opportunity. With a growl, he heavily stepped on the tip of their swords and knocked their swords away. Landing on the ground, he swiftly struck the chests of the four assassins with his palm and forced them backwards.
”Are you seeking death?” One of the assassins coldly looked toward Bu Fang and hoarsely said. His voice was like sandpaper.
In his eyes, Bu Fang—a mere second grade Battle-Master—was only an ant that could be easily killed with a single stroke of their sword. An ant-like fellow actually dared to disturb their assassination!
”I am the owner of this store. Did you get my permission before trying to assassinate someone here?” Bu Fang expressionlessly asked.
”What a joke.” The assassin shook his head. He could not be bothered to care about Bu Fang; an ant-like fellow could not affect the situation. Their objective was the third prince of the Light Wind Empire, Ji Chengxue.
Since Ji Chengxue was a Battle-King as well, they did not dare to be complacent. Even though there were four Battle-Kings on their side, their opponent was a prince. How could he not have any trump cards?
