At the moment, the battle within the Tavern had already started, there were not many assassins in black but they were all experts with high cultivation, the royal guards that Yin Rou brought could not stop them, a portion of the assassins had already arrived at the main house in Tavern.
Yin Rou's room was located in the center of the second floor. Right now, she was under the protection of Xiao Min, Ai Jia and a dozen of her personal Female Guard s, as she left the room and retreated to the innermost area of the corridor.
In the corridor, there were over a hundred imperial guards standing guard. Looking around, the narrow corridor was packed tight with people.
The sounds of fighting downstairs were getting closer and closer. The guards were getting more and more tense, their eyes uniformly looking towards the direction of the stairs.
Swish, swish, swish!
Suddenly, several black shadows emerged from the stairs. They were all clad in spirit armor, and the weapons in their hands were spirit weapons as well.
The palace guards were not weak, but compared to the Spiritual Martial Expert, they were still lacking. Seeing the enemies rushing towards them, the hundred guards rushed forward, attacking them.
They came up fast, and fell even faster. In the blink of an eye, a few guards were swept by the Spirit Wave of the other party. Blood splashed all around, and they were decapitated.
The difference in strength between the two sides was enormous. If he were to charge forward, he would only die even faster.
Gu Yue who was mixed in with the crowd shouted loudly: "Don't engage in close combat, pull apart the distance, release the arrows!"
He shouted until he was out of breath, but no one listened to his commands. The imperial palace guards were not afraid of death, so they continued to rush forward to kill without a care in the world.
Not to mention injuring their opponents, they were all knocked to the ground before they even reached the assassin's side. Some died on the spot, and some were heavily injured. In an instant, more than half of the guards fell, and the rest could not even stop them.
The six assassins, their bodies as fast as arrows, entered into the corridor as if there was no one around, and rushed towards Yin Rou who was at the end of the corridor.
Gu Yue and Ai Jia looked at each other, steeled their hearts, and braced themselves to face the incoming attack.
The two of them were well aware that, let alone six assassins, even if the two of them worked together to fight one assassin, it would be difficult. But in this critical moment, they couldn't care less.
Both of them brandished their blades, and with a clear clanging sound, their blades were blocked. The two of them did not even have time to withdraw before they each received a heavy kick on their chests, causing them to fly backwards like kites with their strings cut, until they crashed into the wall. Only after that did they stop did they hit and hit the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The strength of these assassins could be clearly seen from the strength of these two Captains.
Xiao Min protected Yin Rou behind her, she held the transformed Steel Sword in her hands and asked: "Who are you people? Why did you assassinate her highness? "
No one answered, no one even glanced at her, the assassins' gazes were all focused on Yin Rou who was behind her.
It was as if a vicious wolf had seen a lamb. Its eyes shone with a terrifying light, and six assassins slowly stepped forward.
"Kill —"
Yin Rou's dozen or so bodyguards could no longer hold it in, and all waved their swords to welcome it. The cultivation of these bodyguards were not bad, they were the last line of defense for Yin Rou, but it was still quite a distance compared to the assassins. The six assassins only separated four of them to stop them, while the other two continued to attack Yin Rou.
Xiao Min circulated her spirit energy and struck out with her heavy sword in midair. The Spirit Wave whistled out right after, and the two assassins descended, easily dodging the attack. At the same time, the two of them drew close to each other from the left and right sides.
How fast! Xiao Min retracted her sword to block, the opponent's blade could barely block it, but the impact was too great, causing her to be unable to resist, her body involuntarily retreated several steps, before she managed to stabilize herself again and again, an assassin was already in front of her like a monkey, waving his hand consecutively and slashing three times.
Xiao Min used all of her strength to defend. She was in a sorry state and was unable to get away from the assassin.
The last Assassin walked unhindered and stopped in front of Yin Rou.
At such a close distance, looking at the assassin face to face, Yin Rou could even smell the thick scent of blood coming from her body. She was extremely afraid, but the dignity of the princess prevented her from showing any signs of fear.
Yin Rou was very beautiful, her beauty was one that others couldn't ignore unconsciously. Especially now, when she was strong on the surface and was afraid from the inside. That kind of frail beauty could make any man's heart ache, even if it was a heart of stone.
The assassin raised the blade in his hand high up, but could not slash down at Yin Rou.
Seeing his expression, but his eyes gradually turned deep. He slowly raised his other hand and touched Yin Rou's cheek.
His palm was covered in a thick spirit armor, and there were still drops of blood dripping down from it. Those were the blood of the guards.
Yin Rou watched on helplessly, feeling like she was about to puke, but she did not dodge.
When the assassin's hand was about to touch her cheek, she clearly felt the assassin's body violently tremble, and then he slowly lowered his head.
Following his line of sight, Yin Rou suddenly saw a pitch black Scimitar emerging from the assassin's lower abdomen.
Of course, it was impossible for a person's stomach to grow a knife. It was a knife that pierced through the back of the person's waist and protruded from the front of the person's abdomen.
Ah!" Yin Rou was shocked as she hurriedly covered her mouth, covering the sound she was about to make.
Only now did she see that there was an extra person behind the assassin. It was a Spirit Warrior covered in Black Spirit Armor and holding a long sickle.
When did he appear, and how did he use his blade? Yin Rou did not see it clearly, it was as if he had always been standing behind the assassin.
Weng! *
The black armored warrior swung the sickle in his hand, directly throwing the assassin's body into the air. Then, with a swing of the sickle in his hand, the assassin was sliced into two by the blade, causing scarlet blood to spill all over Yin Rou's face and body.
His eyes that were filled with Black Fog s looked straight at Yin Rou. Perhaps it was because of the mist's obstruction, but his eyes were ice-cold and did not contain a single trace of emotion.
Yin Rou shivered, she lowered her hand that was covering her cherry lips and said with a trembling voice: "Tang … Tang Yin! "
She had never seen Tang Yin dressed in spirit armor before, but she could feel that this strange and terrifying Spirit Warrior in front of her was Tang Yin.
That's right, other than Tang Yin, there was no one else whose spirit armor was so thoroughly black. It was as if it was a part of the dark night.
Tang Yin did not reply. Instead, he turned the sickle over to his right hand and extended his left arm out, grabbing onto Yin Rou's slender waist.
Before the person arrived, the saber arrived first. The heavy saber from above sliced through the air, emitting an ear-piercing whistling sound.
The assassin reacted quickly as well, and hurriedly parried the attack with his saber.
A cracking sound could be heard, followed by a rumbling sound.
It turned out that the strength of his strike was too great. The wooden board beneath the assassin's feet could not withstand the pressure and broke, causing his entire body to sink down and fall to the ground floor.
Tang Yin did not chase after them. Instead, he flung out a Spirit Wave from the sky. Regardless of whether the sword had injured his opponent or not, he continued to hug Yin Rou as he went against the other assassins.
With his addition, the balance between the two sides was unknowingly broken. The four assassins were immediately forced into retreat.
Right at this moment, outside of the Tavern, the sounds of people clamoring could be heard, and the sounds of horses galloping could be heard. Faintly, the sounds of people hooting could be heard, and everything became a mess.
He didn't need to look to guess that the city guards had arrived. The four assassins looked at each other, then backed away.
Their actions were decisive and efficient, they determined that with the current situation, if they wanted to kill Yin Rou, it would be even more difficult, and if they continued to delay, the soldiers outside would only get more and more, no matter how high their cultivation was, in the end, they would be captured.
If they wanted to run, Tang Yin did not want to let them go. He put Yin Rou down and quickly chased after them.
Just in terms of cultivation, the other party was not inferior to him, and their speed was not inferior to him. But Tang Yin's Shadow Shift was too bizarre, especially in the dark night, there was almost no restriction.
He used the Shadow Shift to instantly dodge behind an assassin. At the same time, he raised the sickle in his hand and smashed down with full force from the Knife Rod.
The assassin was caught unprepared. Just as the thought of dodging appeared in his mind, the sickle had already approached him.
Ka-cha! *
This Knife Rod smashed solidly into the assassin's back, and the spirit armor on his back shattered like a mirror, turning into pieces. At the same time, his entire body was also sent flying by the impact.
Plop! The assassin fell a full five meters away before he could land on the ground. Before he could even crawl back up, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Tang Yin strode in front of him, pressed the sickle down, and pressed it against the other party's neck, and said coldly: "Don't move, unless you want your head to move!" As he spoke, he looked towards the other three assassins.
In that instant of delay, the other three assassins had already climbed over the walls of the Tavern and disappeared without a trace.
"It seems that you have abandoned your companions!" Tang Yin looked down at the assassin on the ground and snorted. Tell me your identities and who the person who gave you the order is, and I can consider not killing you and even release you! "
"Ha ha!" The assassin suddenly laughed out loud, he had suffered a heavy blow from Tang Yin, and his body had suffered a heavy injury. He knew he could not escape, and shouted frantically: "Tang Yin, you dog that is loyal to Zhan Hua, you will not live for long!" As he finished speaking, his eyes gradually lost all of their charm, and the spirit armor on his body also turned into energy.
Zhan Hua was the name of the Sovereign King of the Feng Country, so no one in the Feng Country dared to directly call him by his name.
Tang Yin was startled, when he regained his senses, the assassin's eyes were already grey, the spirit armor on his body had already dissipated, revealing a black tight suit.
"Damn it!" Tang Yin scolded softly as he squatted down and grabbed the assassin's neck. The assassin's pulse stopped and his warm body started to turn cold, Tang Yin ruthlessly tore off the mask on his face, only to see the assassin's mouth bleeding and his face turning black. This was the sign of being poisoned.
A Spirit Cultivator with such a profound cultivation, actually willing to take poison and commit suicide, was something inconceivable to Tang Yin.
The Assassin died without any explanation, Tang Yin was completely clueless about his identity, and what kind of people ordered him to do so. This kind of result made him go crazy.
