C1 (1/2)

When the wind blew, it was already dark. The leaves on the trees swayed along with the wind, and the dark clouds in the dark sky completely covered the last of the moonlight. The night sky and the forest street were covered in endless darkness, signalling the start of a new storm.

The night was dark and the wind was high. In the maple forest outside the city, the movement in the dark night had already begun.

A commotion broke the silence in the forest. Even though it was night time, he could still see shadows floating in the forest. Suddenly, a roar broke the silence in the forest.

”Master has ordered me to kill the Regent and reward him with a thousand taels of silver.”

”Hmph, you think you can kill This King?!”

In the darkness, the man wore a purplish-gold embroidered python robe, a jade pendant in the shape of a dragon, white jade and gold at his waist. He wore a black jade hairband, and the fluttering black ribbon in the wind highlighted the man's figure even more.

The man waved his sleeve and the Qi blade flew towards the assassins, knocking them to the ground. Bright red blood spurted out and dyed the maple trees outside the city red, dyeing the moon that lost its light in the dark sky.

Even though the man's martial arts were unrivalled, he was not a man of God. His physical strength would eventually run out, and the number of assassins would not be small. Seeing the men gradually losing their strength, the killers' attacks became even fiercer.

Through the long night, the sounds of fighting filled the silent forest...

Time slowly passed.

The man spat out a mouthful of blood, the corner of his mouth still dripping with blood. At this time, the man had already been cut several times, but the purple gold python robe covered his blood-red body, and the stench of blood in the air became increasingly thick.

Seeing that the man was severely injured, the leader of the assassins gathered all of his power into his sword and swung it towards the man. In this moment of life and death, a leaf floated down from the tree, but hidden within the tree was a deep layer of inner strength. In the blink of an eye, the leaf passed through the throat of the killer just now.

After that, leaves began to fall from the tree, and the number of swords that fell to the ground increased.

At this time, a graceful woman dressed in a long moon-white robe appeared in the darkness. The girl had a thin figure. Standing in the dark night, she was even more reflective and revealed the lightness of her body.

”Who are you? How dare you obstruct us?!”

He could feel an invisible pressure from it. Obviously, this pressure didn't come from the heavily injured Yu Lingjing, so it could only come from someone else. One of the killers asked the night.

”My surname is Qi. As for my name, only the dead know.”

The woman in the white robe replied. Her voice was ethereal and distant, with no traces of her presence, revealing her deep inner strength.

The hitman saw that the one who came was Qi Wan County, heard the girl's arrogant words, and asked: ”Qi Family, Martial Lin Family? This matter is not something that your Qi family can handle. Did he really have to stick his hand out and deal with this matter that he shouldn't care about? You'd better consider the cost before you answer. ”

The corners of Qi Wan County's mouth raised as he coldly sneered, ”The matter that I am about to meddle in is not something that you and other scoundrels would talk about.”

The killer saw Qi Wanshi's tough attitude and could only clench his teeth and say, ”Withdraw!” Yu Ling Jing, consider yourself lucky today, and you will come to take your life sooner or later. Qi Shengmo, since you've decided to interfere in this matter, you should accept the price! ”

The assassin was forced to retreat and disappeared into the dark night. If these assassins didn't retreat soon, they would die in the hands of Qi Lang County.

After seeing the killer leave, Qi Wan County walked towards Yu Ling Jing who was standing on the ground in front of them. With a deep bow, he cupped his hands and said, ”Greetings to the Regent. I have come late to save you. Please forgive me.”

Yu Lingjing helped Qi Dian, who was bowing and bowing to him, up, and then said, ”I should be the one thanking Miss Qi for saving my life. Just now, if it wasn't for Miss Qi, I would have died a long time ago.”

When Yu Ling Jing saw Qi Shu County's appearance, he couldn't help but look at it. His eyes became unmoving as he lamented her beauty. A beauty that could topple nations and topple nations, a beauty that could overturn heavens.

Seeing this, Qi Wan County said, ”Prince, you are seriously injured. If you don't mind, please come to the Qi Mansion in front to recuperate!”

When Yu Ling Jing saw this, he recalled that his wounds just now were indeed unable to return to the palace or the barracks. If he didn't agree, then he probably wouldn't even be able to leave this forest, and so he agreed to Qi Shu's request.

”Thank you for saving my life, Miss Qi. Little Wang will never forget it! ”

Qi Dian rushed forward to support the heavily injured Yu Ling Jing, and headed in the direction of the bullying.

Qi and Yu Ling County slowly disappeared into the bloody forest.

A white-robed, white-haired woman on top of a tree in the distance saw everything that happened, and could not help but frown, and whispered: ”A storm is brewing, and the entire martial arts world will be in turmoil, not only will my two disciples survive in the dark.” It is unknown what kind of predicament the people of this world will face. ”

A gust of wind blew past. The white-haired woman disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind only silence in order to return the earlier massacre in the Maple Forest.

On the second day after the assassination, there was no haze or loneliness like last night. The sky was blue and cloudless, and when one looked up at the sky, which symbolized the highest point of authority, they could still see the white crane flying through the clouds.

However, although the Residence of Crown Prince of the capital was under the clear sky and white clouds, it was not as warm and beautiful as it was outside. On the contrary, it was filled with a depressing atmosphere, like a black cloud pressing down on a city.

”Bastard, I have raised you trash for nothing. So many people were unable to kill the Regent on the way back to the capital, and I was even rescued!”

In the elegant and ancient room that highlighted the royal family's power, the yellow-robed man was furious when he heard the news of the failed assassination yesterday.

Strands of sunlight shone in through the window. The part of the sunlight that shone onto the yellow-robed Dragon Marked Jade Pendant revealed the haze on the man's face. Even though the man's face was extremely exquisite, it couldn't cover the fury in his heart.

The man couldn't help but tightly clench the Dragon Marked Jade Pendant in his hand as if it was shattered into pieces.

Her pitch-black brows tightly knitted, as she glanced at the person in front of her, and said in her heart, ”This time, who was the one who intervened to obstruct me?”
