Chapter 176 Assassination

"Protect the master."

Yu Fengfeng shouted loudly, and he arrived in front of him. He drew out his sword and started to block the sharp sword.

The other guards who were guarding not far away also gathered over.

Ying Tianchen protected Yun Xi behind him and observed the situation around him.

Looking at the direction from which the sharp sword came, he ordered Yu Fengfeng, "Southwest direction, capture him alive."

"Yes, master."

After saying that, Yu Fengfeng flew towards the southwest. There were four guards with him, and there were still a dozen left, still blocking them.

Yun Yan also wanted to follow Yu Fengfeng to catch the murderer, but unfortunately his lightness skills were not as good as theirs, so he could only stamp his feet in frustration.

Yun Xi patted Ying Tianchen, signaling him to let her go.

"Don't worry about me. I also have martial arts skills and the ability to protect myself."

Seeing that there were fewer arrows coming at him, Ying Tianchen let him go.

"Send a few more people to help Guard Yu."

"Yes, master."

Then several more guards flew towards the southwest.

Not only Yun Yan was envious, but Yun Xi also envied them for having such excellent lightness skills.

I don’t know if Yu Fengfeng and those guards were fighting with the other party, but soon no more arrows were shot over.

Ying Tianchen ordered someone to drive the carriage over. He planned to take Yun Xi and Yun Yan back to Prince Nan’s Mansion first.

The Nanwang Mansion is heavily guarded, and it is safest to return there.

As soon as the carriage arrived, men in black surrounded it.

There were quite a few of them, obviously more than theirs, and they were all highly skilled in martial arts.

Ying Tianchen wanted to hold Yun Xi in his arms again. Yun Xi pushed him away angrily and continued to fight with the man in black.

However, she and Yun Yan had no weapons in their hands, so they were at a disadvantage.

The crowd around them screamed and fled in all directions, but Yun Xi and the others were slowly surrounded by the men in black.

Ying Tianchen is good at martial arts, and any black-clad man who approaches him can be killed with just a few moves.

He also had to divide his attention to protect Yun Xi and Yun Yan, and he knew that the two would be at a disadvantage without weapons.

After killing the two men in black, he snatched their swords and threw them to Yun Xi and Yun Yan.

Now that the brother and sister had swords, they no longer had to defend themselves and could finally attack.

The brother and sister were both good at martial arts, especially Yun Xi. This immediately relieved the pressure on Ying Tianchen and the guards.

After all, this is the territory of the Southern King. Such a large-scale assassination incident happened here. The city guards got the news and rushed over quickly.

Fortunately, as the year is coming to an end, many people go out of the city to release river lanterns. Ying Tianchen has already asked the soldiers guarding the city to send more manpower to patrol everywhere in and outside the city.

Only in this situation can the soldiers defending the city arrive so timely.

Seeing this, the man in black attacked fiercely, with each move being fierce and ferocious.

The other party also realized that Yun Yan was the worst among them.

As a result, many of the men in black who had originally focused their attack on Ying Tianchen turned their spearheads towards Yun Yan.

Suddenly Yun Yan couldn't hold on and was defeated.

Seeing that the swords of several men in black were about to stab Yun Yan, Yun Xi became anxious and did not care about the men in black who were fighting with him, and hurried over to help him.

The long sword helped to block the sword that was stabbing Yun Yan, but it was too late to block the sword that was stabbing her.

"Be careful, Xier."

Ying Tianchen's heart was already beating out of his throat.

He gave up fighting with the man in black, came to Yun Xi, and used his sword to block the sword that was stabbing at Yun Xi.

However, the man in black who had just fought with him was chasing him relentlessly, and while he was helping Yun Xi to swing away the sword, the sword also stabbed at him.

There was no time to block it, so he could only dodge sideways, but he was still stabbed in the shoulder.
