The sword in Nan Hua's hand cut through the assassin with ease.
The assassin didn't even have the chance to block when Nan Hua had already sliced through his body. The sharp edge effectively cut through the armor and even the flesh.
"Im..." possible.
Thud!
Nan Hua looked at the sword in her hand, wondering just how much money Old Master Nan actually squandered in order to prepare such a good sword for her twin brother. This kind of sword was very sharp and of good quality.
It would be more of a worry of her twin brother misuse the sword.
Well, that was not the main problem right now.
"Xiao Yun."
"Yes, Miss!" Xiao Yun quickly came inside. Her eyes widened when she saw the assassin's corpse in front of Nan Hua. Blood stained the ground as the assassins laid unmoving.
"Stay here and act as if I'm in my room." Nan Hua took the sword then grabbed her brother's dark robe from the side. She wore it carelessly, only to make sure that it would cover her own clothes.
"But Miss...."
"I can protect myself."
Xiao Yun was at loss and before she knew it, Nan Hua had disappeared. Looking at how the assassins' corpse was cut so cleanly, Xiao Yun could guess that Nan Hua's skill as an assassin or as soldier was far above her. It made her felt a bit vexed.
She bit her lower lips.
In that case, she would do her job well and acted as if Nan Hua was still in her room!
Swish!
Traveling in the darkness, Nan Hua slipped across the assassins while hiding her presence. She could clearly see them swarming towards the Eastern Courtyard. The corner of her lips curled up slightly.
The sword was perfectly blocked.
Nan Hua furrowed her brows. Her body was still too slow and too weak. If it was not a sneak attack where her opponent didn't notice her or didn't expect her to retaliate, she would fail.
"Hua'er!" Nan Luo was stunned.
Nan Hua nodded then slipped away from the first assassin's range. She moved to the second assassin who had just slashed his sword. Upon sensing Nan Hua coming close, she jerked her body and barely avoided the deathly attack.
Slash!
'Too shallow.'
Nan Hua was tempted to use her needles right now, but she didn't want to leave any trace in these corpse. When she was hunting with Nan Luo, she would always retrieve her needles back to avoid anyone noticing the method used to kill the animals.
Nan Luo quickly rushed to Nan Hua's side and it was at this time Nan Hua handed him his sword.
"Hua'er?"
"Deal with them."
Nan Luo was stunned but then he grinned. "Of course! Thank you for bringing me my sword."
Now that he had his sword in his hand, Nan Luo grew excited. Looking at the assassins in front of him, Nan Luo no longer thought of running away. As Nan Hua saw Nan Luo ready to attack, she moved to the side and her eyes searched around.
There shouldn't something else she could use.
The first assassin had already recovered. Seeing Nan Luo's confident stance, he sneered. "You are courting death!"
Swish! Clang!
Nan Luo easily parry the attack and rushed over to get closer. His sword rushed forward and barely reaching the assassin's chest and ripped his clothes. Looking at the shallow wound as Nan Luo retreated back, his face darkened.
His hand was too short!
Right now, both children were having the same complaints about their body.. They were too small, ah! How much they wished that they were already an adult and thus, could deal with these two assassins with ease.
