659 Drifting, Withered Petals in the Snowy Night! (2/2)
Light flashed in the hurricane. There was a sword!
”You highness, be careful!” The appalled guards cried out loud!
In the distance, thunderous hoofs rolled in like a storm; this person must be mad to ride a galloping horse at night when the ground was frozen like a mirror! If she slipped and fell, she might be seriously injured or even dead! She was not taking her own life seriously!
In the wind came a faint but desperate cry. ”… Mother… Be careful… Mother… Be careful…” The voice was blown intermittently by the bitter cold wind, but you could hear the infinite despair and anxiety in the voice! It was actually Princess Ling Meng riding the galloping horse! The cold wind blew her face and messed up her hair. The tears on her face were frozen.
Murong Xiu Xiu heard the guards' exclamation and saw the coming hurricane overhead, as well as the vague figure contained within. The sound of horse's hooves behind was also audible, and her daughter's desperate cry was also clear amidst the cold night wind.
She suddenly felt as if her body dropped into an ice cave and was petrified! She had no way of protecting herself under the pressure of the tremendous Xuan Qi!
But there was in fact a trace of relief on her calm face. Is this… the end?
”AH…” With a desperate, wolf-like hoarse sound, Ah Jiu's shadow like body appeared suddenly. He kicked the carriage and it immediately slid backwards. The slippery, frozen ground became an advantage now… And his thin figure shined in a bright yellow light, as he roared in desperation and faced the shadowy figure in the hurricane head-on!
The top rank of Earth Xuan! The empress' bodyguard was such an expert!
But the assassin was Mr. Wen, and he was a Supreme! Let alone Earth Xuan, he could instantly kill a top Sky Xuan expert!
But Ah Jiu did serve to block him!
There was an explosion of blood in midair. Ah Jiu's body instantaneously became blood and pieces of flesh rained down from the skies when he charged upwards!
Mr. Wen was even faster than the showering blood! He was like a demon descending from the sky! He carried a small baggage with him. He was leaving for the Supreme Golden City immediately after he killed Murong Xiu Xiu!
And he would not be involved in secular matters anymore!
”Protect the Empress!” Dozens of guards blocked the carriage with their swords. At this moment, Murong Xiu Xiu rolled out of the carriage and fell onto the frozen ground. Simultaneously, the roof of the carriage blew apart from the force of someone's palm!
Mr. Wen did not say anything as he swung his sword. The emergent sword flash was like moonlight, easily slicing all the guards' bodies in half! The sword flash continued as hit the ground, producing a deep indentation as snow was swept up!
The sound of the horse's hooves approached. Princess Ling Meng desperately jumped off her horse and almost fell down. She lunged madly at her mother who had fallen to the ground and shouted, ”Mother…”
The approaching flying figure of Mr. Wen did not stop. His eyes showed slight hesitation before he extended his right arm, pushing out his right palm. A region of vacuum in the shape of his palm was formed so fast that the flow of air was even visible. It headed straight for Murong Xiu Xiu's back!
”Stop!” A ghostly figure appeared without any sign. A strong blow was fired at Mr. Wen even before the figure arrived. It dispelled most of the power, but it was still too late. A portion of the power still made it through and hit Murong Xiu Xiu on her back!
Murong Xiu Xiu grunted, as her frail body was beaten into the air. Fresh blood sprayed out from her mouth. She was like a flower forcibly plucked from a branch, falling powerlessly from the air…
Her goose-yellow dress unfolded in the air. It was like a delicate flower withering in the snowy night…
”Mother!” Princess Ling Meng was terrified. She launched herself forward at a high speed, but it appeared too late, so she leaped forward and threw herself on her knees. She fell heavily on the ground with a crack. She was kneeling on the hard ice. Her bones were crushed! But she seemed unaware as she just stretched out her hand and firmly grasped the body of her mother who was about to land, like grasping the thing that her life depended on…
The great momentum of her mother's fall made her lean back uncontrollably and the back of her head smashed on the icy ground…
”Crack!” With the large force, her fractured knees were cracked once again and blood immediately flowed out. If her dress was lifted, her knees could be seen to have shattered. Her tender flesh were split and pieces of bone would even be visible…
But the girl showed top-notch endurance this time. She was able to take pain unbearable even for a Spirit Xuan expert. Moreover, the back of her head was also bleeding. But she just hugged her mother's body, preventing her from experiencing much impact…
Murong Xiu Xiu opened her eyes with difficulty. She looked at her grieving daughter lifelessly. She made a gentle and unwilling face as she said, ”Meng, don't be afraid, I'm fine.” But as she opened her mouth, blood gushed out and there were even pieces of internal organs flowing out…
She wanted to raise her hand to wipe tears away from the face of her beloved daughter. But she realized that she could not even raise a finger. She endured the pain that was like a tsunami within her body and tried not to appear in agony. She looked gently at her daughter and tried her best to signal that she was not in pain…
