58 Assassinate! (2/2)

The bodyguards became alarmed and shouted loudly. They rushed desperately forward without any regards for their own lives, hoping to stop them with their lives. Unfortunately, their opponents were two Gold levelled Xuan Qi experts. How could they stop them with their humble level of cultivation? The gap in strength between them was far too huge and the bodyguards were pushed back to the left and right, like a sea being split in half. Four hands lashed out with a brilliant gold, its brilliance burst out in a flash. The magnificent roof of the ornate sedan chair was torn apart with strips of its colourful adorning cloth dancing in the air, Under the night sky and the golden light, this scene was simply remarkable, beautiful and sorrowful!

The black swords that were fired into the sedan chair suddenly emerged like a poisonous dragon when a black glint flashed, shooting out towards the two men who were still hovering in the air.

With the flash of swords, the ‘ka’ sounds were heard as the black projectiles were cut down. In this instance, a slim figure emerged from the strips of adorning cloth. The figure wrapped in a glittering silver radiance moving in haste with grace. In Princess Ling Men’s eyes, anger and unwillingness were shown. Her hands were equipped with short swords glowing with a bright silver luminance, which she used to stab the two men in black.

This princess who looked like a weak and slender woman was actually a Silver levelled Xuan Qi expert! Surprisingly, the young princess had a high level of martial talent. In terms of cultivation, she was similar to the other martial prodigy Dugu Xiao Yi!

The two men in black snorted as they unleashed their sword attacks. Two ‘peng’ sounds were heard before the three of them fell down towards different directions. Princess Ling Meng fell to the ground, momentarily her beautiful face turned bright red before turning pale. It was obvious that she suffered internal injuries! Regardless of her talents, she is still a beginner Silver levelled Xuan user. Even if two Gold levelled Xuan Qi experts had exhausted their strength, a sneak attack by Princess Ling Meng would still end up with her at a bitter loss!

The intrinsic difference in quality existed between the Silver and Gold levels. They are not comparable!

After enduring the recoil, the two masked men in black charged forth again. With a step upon the ground, they caused a ‘hong’ sound and two indentations appeared as they shot forward, treading through a pace of thirty feet. Their long swords illuminated with a golden glitter as they flew towards Princess Ling Meng’s tender body mercilessly!

Princess Ling Meng suffered a considerable amount of internal injury from the fight before. She had no chance of regaining her composure, With no other alternatives, she squeezed out every last ounce of strength she had to dodge backwards but was still unable to dodge the incoming swords. Also, when she tried to force out all the strength she could muster, the Xuan Qi within her body became chaotic and going completely beyond her control. It all came together in a random manner that caused pain comparable to having a sword skewered through her. This caused her to have no more strength within her body. Suddenly, she could not help but fall into despair: ‘Could this be how I would die?’ A mournful look of confusion floated upon her beautiful face as she stood there quietly, watching the two swords lunging towards her without even trying to dodge anymore!

She no longer had the strength to dodge!

A Silver levelled Xuan Qi beginner going against a Gold levelled Xuan Qi expert and in this case - two! Even if she was not injured or possessed superb dodging skills all would be still in vain!

The swords had closed in on her to the point that Princess Ling Meng could see the cruel expressions of delight within the eyes of the two men in black. It appeared that those two felt very satisfied to have the opportunity to kill such a divine beauty.

”Your Highness!” Several bodyguards howled loudly as they rushed out disregarding their lives. Unfortunately, it was too late...

Was it truly too late?

Their assignment was completed as long as they killed this beautiful woman! Naturally, they would be able to enjoy an unfathomable amount of wealth and status! All was needed was for their swords to thrust forward a little more and everything would be over! Even if she was the daughter of the ruler of Tianxiang Kingdom, even if she was a rare martial talent, she would be left without a single breath in her body!

Both men in black were well trained first class assassins. As Gold levelled Xuan Qi experts, their hearts were black and poisonous; killing was an act they do without emotions. However, the current target was a princess which caused them to reveal a look of ecstasy from their eyes.

Right now, everyone was focused on Princess Ling Meng. Therefore, no one realised that Jun Xie who everyone thought to be dead on the ground made a slight movement. A flash shot forth from his fingers, moving up towards the sky. After flying for five feet, it made a one hundred and eighty-degree turn emitting a dazzling blue radiance as it whistled towards the space between Princess Ling Meng and the assassins.
