58 Assassinate! (1/2)
They sent two Silver levelled Xuan experts after me? You hold me in such high regards! Jun Xie laughed bitterly. To send such experts to deal with a mere debauchee, it seemed that the person organising the assassination was generous!
There were a total of nine highly capable Xuan Qi experts namely two Gold and seven Silver levelled experts. For these experts to attack the Princess’ defenceless entourage without any experts was simply as easy as breaking an egg with a stone.
Two swords shone with silver brilliance stabbed forward! The two pair of eyes behind the masks were bloodthirsty and cruel, their strike was meant to kill with one blow.
Two counter these two attacks, a variety of methods can be used to deal with them flashed in Jun Xie’s mind. However, no matter what method he decided to use would expose his true strength.
What gave the Emperor assurance was the current state of the Jun Family. The declination of the Jun Family, Jun Wu Yi paralysed from the waist down; Jun Mo Xie an incapable debauchee, signified that there was no successor in the Jun Family. This suggests that the aged Jun Zhan Tian would not have any secret ambition! Therefore, the Emperor was willing to leave the entire military in the hands of Jun Zhan Tian. But if His Majesty were to find out that Jun Mo Xie was actually a dragon amongst men, the Emperor’s trust would turn into an enormous suspicion! Since Jun Zhan Tian’s position within the military was simply too terrifying!
His Majesty would be forced to take action against the Jun Family if Jun Xie were to reveal his prowess before the bodyguards of the princess.
Therefore, he could not!
Immediately, Jun Xie made a decision.
Jun Xie retreated in a confused manner with an extremely bewildered face. Suddenly, he tumbles backwards as his feet seemed to have tripped over something. Seemingly unintentional, this manoeuvre allowed one of the incoming swords to just graze his scalp. Meanwhile, he channelled the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune to protect his internal organs and then forcefully twisted his body, causing the other sword to pierce sideways into his chest!
The wound looked serious, in actual fact, it failed to even hurt his bones. The Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune circulated through his entire body. THe thick white mist charged into all his limbs and meridians as it quickly restored his body immediately...
Meanwhile, the other assassin gave two flying kicks at Jun Xie. Two ‘peng’ sounds were heard as both kicks landed on Jun Xie’s chest. This caused him to groan and cough out a mouthful of blood. Jun Xie fell to the ground with his face facing the sky, then he rolled over causing his white robes to be stained with blood. After rolling, he laid there with his face grounded showing no signs of breathing nor movements.
The two assassins glanced at the motionless Jun Xie, then they rushed towards the besieged sedan chair of Princess Ling Meng.
They thought of Jun Mo Xie, the most renowned debauchee playboy in the capital, could not have any chance of surviving a sword attack through the chest together with the two all-out kicks from a Silver levelled Xuan Qi expert. Right now, all of his internal organs should have been crushed, leaving him with no hope of survival. Therefore, neither one of the two men had any interest in giving him another glance.
Both men did not notice that when the two kicks landed on Jun Xie’s body, a strange pulse burst out from Jun Xie’s chest before he fell to the ground. When the two kicks landed, his chest area had six pulses burst, dispelling most of the force from the kicks.
Princess Ling Meng’s bodyguards today were the most common amongst the palace guards. Only the two leaders were comparatively stronger than the rest, with Silver levelled Xuan. They became flustered when they had to deal with attacks from two Gold and seven silver levelled experts under these unprepared circumstances. Although the bodyguards outnumbered the assassins, they were of little use.
Interestingly, the sedan chair did not move nor make any sound since the black swords struck it. It was unknown if Princess Ling Meng was still alive.
The bodyguards standing before the sedan chair fell, one after the other. The two masked men in black leading the charge leapt through the air as one with their body radiating a golden glow as they glided through the air like an eagle about to snatch up a rabbit, heading towards the sedan chair.
