"Ah …"

With a roar, Feng Ding flew from his warhorse to meet the two Golden Origin Stage cultivators, but his heart sank. Let alone the fact that the other party was two experts of the metal element, even if they were experts of the upper tier of the silver element, he would still not be able to stop them. He was using his own life to give the wangfei a chance to escape, even if the chance was too small!

"Clank …"

He Xianzhi's dagger had fiercely stabbed the left side of Yun Yin's back. His face revealed a ferocious expression. Such a sharp dagger, piercing into the heart, would immediately kill this vice commander!

However, the sound of the dagger didn't go through his muscles and bones. Instead, it made a metallic sound. He couldn't help but be startled for a moment. At this moment, a silver light shone from Yun Yin's hand, and he struck He Xianzhi with his backhand. At the same time, he raised his other hand and shot out the crossbow in the air, aiming at the few men who had pounced on Princess Hua-Yang.

Yun Yin's heart sank. Amongst these people, the weakest was of lower silver rank. Moreover, these people had suddenly launched a sneak attack, so they weren't prepared in the slightest.

He Wenzhi never expected that the dagger did not pierce into Yun Yin's back, but was blocked by something. At this time, Yun Yin's counterattack had also arrived. He was caught off guard and hurriedly blocked it, how could he possibly block it? As he was sent flying by Yun Yin's palm, the crossbow pierced through his palm and shoulder, falling heavily onto the ground.

The personal guards around Yun Zihuang didn't react as quickly as they had expected, but they were even closer to the wangfei. Without even turning back, they only raised their arms and brazenly used their arms and bodies to protect her.

Yun Zihuang also did not turn around. With her many super powers, how could she have any use for it?

He turned back, and the air twisted slightly. Light rays that were hard to see with the naked eye instantly appeared on the bodies of the ambushers. The warhorse fiercely galloped forward at the same time, avoiding the range of these people's sneak attack. However, the light from the void didn't stop, still shooting towards the ambushing experts.

"Ah …"

His surprised voice was accompanied by pain and disbelief, as well as many other complicated emotions. The two Golden Origin Stage cultivators looked straight at Yun Zi Huang, and their bodies plummeted from the sky. It was at this moment that blood spurted out from their bodies and blossomed into red lotuses in the air.

Feng Ding didn't even have time to draw his sabre and charge towards the two Golden Origin Stage cultivators. He shot out his crossbow and tried his best to stop the two of them. Even though he knew that he could not stop even one of them with his life and body, he still brazenly rushed forward and used his body to block the path of the two experts.

In the next second, his body was sent flying. Blood spurted out crazily from his mouth in the air. However, the crossbows had already hit the bodies of the two Golden Origin Stage cultivators. At such a close distance, even the two Golden Origin Stage cultivators did not expect that their opponent would be able to shoot hidden weapons. The power of the sleeve crossbows was not small and they were too close. Even though they were metal elementalists, they could not avoid all the sleeve crossbows, so they were still injured.

At this moment, the extreme sense of danger made their hair stand on end. However, before they could react, they felt a peculiar sensation on their necks. Afterwards, they felt an intense pain, and strength and vitality madly gushed out from their bodies.

The crossbows that had been dodged by the two Golden Origin Stage cultivators had injured the other two Silver Origin Stage cultivators at the same time. However, they didn't bother with the wounds and continued pouncing towards Yun Zihuang.

"Clank …"

Their palms struck, and on the arms of the few people who were behind Yun Zi Huang, the moment they struck, their faces were filled with disdain. These guards had actually used their arms to stop them. They really were like mantis trying to stop a chariot. They were all Silver rank experts. They would break the arms of these people and then hit Yun Zihuang. Of course, they would not and would not kill the regent's consort. They would capture her alive.

However right at the moment when their palms landed on each other's arms, they were actually blocked by the other party's arms. These arms were all made of metal and were incomparably tough. At this moment, the guards also shot their crossbows, piercing deeply into the body of the assassin. They were too close to each other to avoid each other's attacks. They had to use their arms and bodies to protect the wangfei. At the same time, the assassin did not expect that these personal guards would be able to shoot concealed weapons. At that time, someone had been shot dead by the crossbow.

Out of the two experts, only one of them barely had a foot, which could be considered stepping into that realm. The other person had silver qi, which was mixed with a faint golden color, making his power even weaker. Even so, these two experts would be able to easily kill off a top grade Silver rank master.

However, at this very moment, they were lying on the ground, blood gushing out from their necks. They had all died.

Yun Zihuang's war horse galloped for more than two meters, returning with an Aurora Blade, reaping the lives of several experts. It was just that there were too many people around, and they were too close to each other, so it was too late to use a chain of crossbows. The five hundred personal guards were caught off guard and their line of defense was torn apart.

"Guards from behind, fire!"

She calmly gave the order. At this moment, a few assassins had suffered heavy casualties. The remaining two, under her Aurora Blade, were immediately turned into corpses.

"Start the wheel!"

At her command, the personal guards at the back rose up on their horses, shooting at the enemy with their crossbows to give their comrades a chance to recover.

"Damn it!"

He Xianzhi stared at the dead experts with disbelief in his eyes. They were all rare experts, yet they died so quickly?

Who were these personal guards beside the regent's consort? How is this possible?

His lips were full of blood. He didn't bother wiping them as he quickly jumped up and retreated. After being injured by Yun Yin, they saw the fate of a few elites, so they didn't dare to advance any further and retreated back into the army as fast as they could. He coldly stared at the five hundred personal guards, "Bestowal for thieves, arrest the traitor Yun Zihuang, kill him, kill one personal guard, reward him ten taels of silver, three officials will be promoted by one rank!"

Yun Xian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the experts had all been killed and the princess was safe and sound. However, his heart was heavy at this moment. He was not facing thousands of Northern Slaves who did not have any armor or weapons, but Tian Yuan soldiers who were well-equipped.

Yun Zihuang's eyes flashed with a cold light. Whose edict?

There was no longer any time to ask about this. There were tens of thousands of soldiers surrounding them, and there were only 500 of them. Just a moment ago, she had thought He Xianzhi was making a big fuss out of nothing. He had brought so many elite soldiers with him. So, the people they wanted to kill were not the traitors of the Northern Regions, but her and her five hundred personal guards.

"Crossbow!"

Upon hearing He Xianzhi's order, all the personal guards showed expressions of shock. The other party had even brought a crossbow. The heavy crossbow truck left deep marks on the ground, appearing not far from the guards but outside the range of the crossbows.

He Xianzhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "Yun Zihuang, just surrender your hand and I'll spare the lives of these guards!"
