son, don't mess around

That night.

There is an undercurrent in Linjiang City at night.

Rows of fully armed soldiers suddenly appeared on the originally bustling streets. They began to search every corner of the houses on the streets with serious faces, causing panic among the people.

Before the common people could guess what had happened, several horses galloped past on the street. On the horses were dark figures wearing black armor and exuding a murderous aura.

The atmosphere at night became extremely tense!

The people had no idea what was going on, but the atmosphere tonight had already become depressing.

At this moment, the night is shrouded in darkness.

Several figures hidden in the darkness were retreating at a rapid speed. They nimbly moved through the alleys of residential houses and fled into the distance.

If you look closely, you can see that they are in a rather miserable state at the moment. Some of them have been slightly injured and their breathing is disordered.

Their figures hiding in the darkness looked a little embarrassed and they seemed to be in a panic.

"Oh no, she's still chasing!"

A dull, low voice sounded from the crowd, sounding a bit anxious and irritable.

At this moment, not far behind these assassins, a cold white figure was chasing them closely.

Although her body looked delicate, she was as light as a swallow and had excellent martial arts skills. Under the cover of the night sky, the girl in white clothes and holding a sword was chasing after them with a soul-stirring aura.

I can't get rid of it at all!
Their ability to hide their breath and figure, which they were most proud of in the past, seemed to be completely ineffective in front of the girl in white.

This couldn't help but make these assassins feel scared, and they felt a sense of fear as if they were being targeted.

What was even more serious was that they could already hear the sound of soldiers and horses not far away, as well as the faint light of fire in the distance. They could infer that their previous assassination had alarmed the city defense army, and at this time the city defense army might have already started to search for their whereabouts.

If he doesn't quickly get rid of the woman behind him and find a hiding place, once he is spotted by the guards of Prince Lin's Mansion, it will be difficult to escape.

Thinking of this, the leading assassin in the crowd hesitated for a moment, and then a hint of murderous intent suddenly emerged in his eyes.

"She's coming after us alone, let's attack together and get rid of her!"

"Otherwise, none of us can leave!"

The leading assassin made a quick decision.

The only one chasing them was the girl with the sword. Although she was very powerful in martial arts, no one among them could be her match in a one-on-one fight.

But they are assassins, and they are best at assassination. In addition, with so many of them working together, they are skilled in cooperation, and their assassination methods are endless, so they may be able to quickly kill this woman.

Thinking of this, the assassins looked at each other and made up their minds almost instantly!

Kill her!

The next second, the assassins who were still fleeing in panic suddenly stopped, and then quickly hid their bodies and disappeared from the spot.

Not far away, An Ning's figure appeared in an instant.

In the dark night, she was wrapped in a plain white dress, which fully revealed her cool and elegant temperament.

That flawless and handsome face was filled with cold murderous intent, with a sword in hand, he chased here.

When she saw the figure of the assassin who was fleeing in front of her suddenly disappear from her original position, she stopped abruptly, landed on a wall, glanced around, and realized something was wrong.

At this moment, the world is silent!
It was so quiet around that there was not a single sound.

It was so quiet that it was even a little eerie!

The breeze was still, the leaves were motionless, and even the air seemed frozen.

An Ning's expression was fixed, and his cold eyes scanned the dark and silent surroundings. It was pitch black, with only the faint moonlight illuminating the surroundings.

As if realizing something, An Ning suddenly raised his eyes and looked towards a certain direction in the darkness ahead.

The next second, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the originally silent darkness.

In almost an instant, he arrived in front of An Ning.

A strange dark figure, shrouded in black cloth, revealed a pair of cold and sharp eyes. The scimitar in his hand pierced the air and headed towards the fair neck of the girl in front of him.

A fatal blow!
"Pfft!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was heard.

In the darkness, the assassin who suddenly attacked trembled violently, and his eyes under the mask widened in disbelief, with a hint of fear.

He stared blankly at what was in his hand. The scimitar suddenly stopped and could not move forward even a little bit.

He lowered his eyes and saw a silver sword had already pierced his heart.

Accurate and correct!
It’s packed full!
The owner of the silver-white sword was the girl in the white dress, who was holding the sword and piercing his heart.

That slightly childish face showed a cold-bloodedness and decisiveness that was clearly inconsistent with his age.

There was no mercy in his attack!

There wasn't even a trace of fear or hesitation.

She stared at the assassin in front of her with cold eyes, as if she was already looking at a dead person.

Cold and without any emotion!
Penetrate!

Pull out!

In an instant, a cold light flashed.

There was not a single stain of blood on the silver-white sword!
Fighting without bloodshed!
The assassin in front of him didn't even have time to be frightened, and his eyes gradually became dull.

He didn't even see how the other party attacked... His sneak attack was so perfect, but why did the other party still predict his move in advance?

But he no longer had the time or opportunity to think!
The assassin was pierced through the heart and was doomed to die. He suddenly fell from mid-air!

And all this happened in just a moment!
The moment An Ning put away his sword, other assassins attacked instantly in the darkness.

The attacks were so frequent that she didn't have any chance to breathe!

An Ning showed no fear at all, not even the slightest bit of nervousness or fear that a young girl should have. She rushed forward like a cold-blooded machine without any emotion, sword raised.

In the night sky, a duel of assassination and swordsmanship instantly began.

……

At this moment, the leading assassin finally realized that something was wrong and his face was horrified!
He overestimated their strength and underestimated the swordsmanship proficiency of the girl in front of him!

This young girl, who looks young, has almost reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

The silver-white long sword in her hand seemed to have become a wall blocking all of them! No matter how they assassinated or attacked, they seemed to be able to be predicted and accurately blocked by the opponent.

Evil door!

How evil!

With their combined strength and superbly skilled coordination, they might not be weaker than the girl in front of them.

Even those who were stronger than this girl had died at their hands.

But the swordsmanship of the girl in front of him was so strong that it was a little weird!
Her attainments in swordsmanship have far exceeded the realm of assassins' cognition, which is totally contrary to common sense!
unless……

"kendo!"

The leading assassin finally realized something. Only a place like Kendo could produce such a terrifying swordsmanship master!

And in the way of the sword, there are only those who can have such strength... When the leading assassin's eyes fell on the girl in white dress with a cold temperament in front of him, his pupils shrank sharply!
The eldest princess? !

The girl in front of him, no matter her temperament, appearance, or superb swordsmanship, is similar to the eldest princess!
Although the ages don't seem to match, the leading assassin doesn't have time to think too much!
When he determined that the girl in front of him was most likely the legendary eldest princess, he instantly lost any desire to fight.

If she is really the eldest princess, then she must have hidden her strength!
They have no chance of winning!

Regardless of whether it is or not, it is not appropriate to continue to dwell on it right now!

"withdraw!"

Assassination failed!

Once their surprise attack failed, their strength would be greatly reduced. The girl in front of them had extremely superb martial arts skills, and her swordplay was extremely terrifying. In the short exchange of blows, she had already killed two more people.

If you don’t leave quickly, you’ll probably have to stay here tonight!
The remaining four assassins realized this and no longer had any time to think. They quickly retreated, hiding in the darkness again, preparing to evacuate.

This time, An Ning had already anticipated that they wanted to run away, and her beautiful eyes turned slightly cold.

At this moment, her face was slightly flushed, her breathing was a little rapid, and her hair was a little messy. It was obvious that she had consumed a lot of energy.

Although these assassins' combined siege and assassination failed to hurt her, it still caused her a lot of trouble. She had consumed a lot of internal energy and was now a little tired.

But, she still had no intention of letting these people go!
While these people were running for their lives, An Ning didn't hesitate at all. Her cold little face was tense and she gritted her teeth and chased after them.

At this moment, under the night sky.

The leading assassin was so frightened that he fled in panic.

Just as he was hiding in the darkness and trying to find a way to escape, a powerful aura suddenly appeared in the darkness and blocked his way.

He looked up suddenly and saw a black-robed figure suddenly appear in front of him.

"who?!"

The leading assassin's pupils shrank suddenly, and without any hesitation, his instinctive reaction made him clench the steel knife under his sleeve and mobilize his internal force to cut towards the opponent's neck.

But the next second, a terrifying aura of destruction suddenly struck.

This aura was even more terrifying than the strongest master he had ever encountered before!
The assassin's face suddenly changed, and a look of fear suddenly appeared in his eyes. It was too late for him to evacuate, and he could only watch helplessly as he collided with this terrifying aura.

"boom!"

There was an explosion.

The explosion was filled with a terrifying aura, and the leading assassin's internal organs were instantly shattered.

His pupils dilated, blood spurted out of his mouth, his body staggered and fell down, his expression was terrified and full of disbelief.

With the last remaining glance of his eyes, he raised his head with difficulty to look at the figure in the darkness.

In the night sky, only a large figure in a black robe could be vaguely seen. And under the black robe, a ferocious bronze mask could be vaguely seen...

This scene instantly shocked the remaining three assassins!
They looked at the scene in front of them with horror, their eyes were about to burst. The sudden appearance of the man in black in front of them gave them an extremely oppressive and terrifying atmosphere.

And their heads were killed in each other's hands in an instant?
"Run!"

Without any hesitation, they fled in the other direction.

However, at this moment, An Ning had already caught up with them from behind with a sword in hand, forcing them to have no way to retreat!

The cold light of the silver sword flashed by, and an assassin who tried to escape had no will to resist at all. His throat was cut in an instant. He held his throat tightly and fell unwillingly from the air.

The remaining two assassins had nowhere to escape, so they could only rush forward, trying to avoid the black-robed figure in front of them.

But the moment they approached, the terrifying oppressive aura enveloped them again. Before they could react, the palm wind from under the black robe's sleeves had already attacked.

The two men had no way to retreat, so they gritted their teeth in fear and rushed forward, trying to block the attack.

"Ah! Ah!"

Accompanied by two sharp screams, these two assassins, who were not weak in martial arts skills, died instantly without a sound!
All seven assassins who carried out the assassination tonight have died, and no one survived!

There was a sudden silence between heaven and earth!

However, the atmosphere did not ease at all, but became even heavier.

An Ning suddenly stopped, her body tensed, she clenched the sword in her hand, and stared at the black-robed figure in front of her with cold eyes, her expression extremely solemn.

This person gave her unprecedented pressure!
The other person's aura was extremely powerful, and his martial arts skills were probably far superior to hers!

An Ning only felt this kind of aura from her own princess!

However, at this moment, a master appeared whose aura and strength could compete with the princess.

This had to make her alert!

"Who are you?!"

An Ning spoke in a cold voice, staring at the black-robed figure in front of him.

The other person was dressed in black, shrouded in a black robe, with only a dark and ferocious bronze mask showing, which looked extremely creepy.

A pair of calm eyes appeared under the bronze mask, looking at the vigilant An Ning in front of him.

After a moment, a deep and hoarse voice sounded: "Where is Lin Jiangnian?"

An Ning's heart sank. Was he coming for the prince?

She didn't say anything, but her eyes became colder and more alert.

"Since he is not here, please come with me." The deep and hoarse voice sounded again.

As soon as the words fell, the black-robed figure in sight suddenly disappeared from the spot.

There was a flash of horror in An Ning's cold eyes. Without any hesitation, she tapped the ground with her toes and her delicate body instantly retreated like a light swallow. At the same time, the silver-white sword in her hand swung out several sword flowers, and the sword energy was everywhere!

But in an instant, the sword flowers instantly shattered, and the black-robed figure suddenly approached, and the terrifying aura instantly enveloped An Ning!
"boom!"

In the night sky, An Ning was instantly attacked by the sword energy. His body fell from the wall like a falling wild goose, and he retreated repeatedly. His long sword stabbed into the ground, and he barely managed to stabilize his body.

At this moment, her face was pale, her body was trembling slightly, the hand holding the sword seemed to have some rules, her body felt as if it was churning with pain, her breathing was disordered, her whole body was in a mess, her hair was disheveled, and her originally plain white dress was cut into pieces by the backlash of the sword energy.

"puff!"

She finally couldn't hold it in any longer and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning even paler.

Lost!

She didn't even take a single move from the opponent.

An Ning's beautiful eyes were blank, as if she was standing there in a daze, somewhat distraught.

The black-robed leader looked expressionlessly at An Ning who fell into the alley, then jumped down and walked towards her step by step.

An Ning seemed to have come to his senses. He supported his injured body, tremblingly grasped the long sword in his hand, and forced himself to stand up.

Even though she was injured and even though she knew she was seriously injured, she still stood up. Her beautiful eyes were cold and as if she was a bit stubborn, she stared coldly at the man in black robe in front of her.

At this moment, there seemed to be a figure flying across the night sky, accompanied by a diffuse breath!
The black-robed leader who was originally approaching An Ning suddenly looked up and looked in a certain direction in the night sky. The eyes under the bronze mask suddenly became deep and solemn.

Then, a sneer emerged.

The next second, his figure disappeared from the spot.
