After traveling through time, I became a princess in ancient times

Inside Prince Nan's mansion, Ren Chennan's furious figure paced back and forth in the hall, each step making the floor thump, as if he wanted to pour out all the pent-up dissatisfaction in his chest.

He suddenly grabbed a porcelain cup on the table and threw it to the ground. With a crisp "pop" sound, the porcelain cup broke into pieces in an instant, just like his broken mood at the moment.

The five guards knelt in front of Ren Chennan, trembling all over, and the air was filled with an extremely oppressive and tense atmosphere.

"Since my brother is so partial to me, don't blame me for not caring about family ties. King Beiling and that woman must be eliminated."

One of the guards trembled upon hearing this, and said tremblingly: "If this matter is exposed, Your Majesty..."

Ren Chennan glared at him with resentment, scaring the other guards so much that they lowered their heads, trembling and not daring to speak.

The dark shadow hidden on the roof was about to retreat quietly, but was locked in place by an invisible pressure like a frightened bird.

Ren Chennan rushed out of the house like a meteor, stepped hard onto the roof, and the meteor gun in his hand drew a silver lightning, directly attacking the vital point of the secret guard who was trying to escape.

The secret guard was horrified and tried to dodge using the martial arts skills he had acquired over the years, but he did not expect that the Southern King's strength was far beyond his imagination.

The tip of the gun was as fast as lightning, instantly penetrating his escape trajectory and piercing his chest, bringing out dazzling snowflakes.

The secret guard's body was stiff, his eyes full of disbelief, and then he slowly fell down, splashing rubble and making a tiny sound, which was particularly harsh in the quiet Southern Prince's Palace.

Ren Chennan stood on the roof, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a deep voice: "Come out, there is no need to hide anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, several black shadows appeared from the eaves, tree shadows, and even behind the rockery, and quickly gathered together to form a semicircular formation around Ren Chennan.

The leading secret guard walked out slowly with a stern face. Seeing his men being killed instantly, his eyes revealed complex emotions. Who could have expected that the fighting power of the King of the South would be so swift!

Ren Chennan looked coldly at the leading secret guard: "Oh, my brother is really calculating. He sent you shadows to supervise me. Why, are you afraid that I will do something disrespectful?"

The leading secret guard remained calm and said in a steady voice: "Your Highness, the Southern Prince, we dare not speculate on the emperor's intentions. But we have to do our duty. However, I hope Your Highness will think twice before acting, and do not let a momentary impulse ruin the friendship of many years of brotherhood and even ruin your own future."

Ren Chennan's face was so gloomy that water could drip from it. He took a step forward and approached the leading secret guard. He said majestically: "Are you teaching me how to do things? Humph, if my brother really trusts me so much, why would you do this?"

The leading secret guard's pupils shrank suddenly, but he did not retreat. Instead, he straightened his back and met Ren Chennan's gaze with a firm gaze: "If His Majesty knew that His Highness the Southern Prince made a big mistake because of a momentary anger, I'm afraid he would be heartbroken."

"Do you think this king will let you leave alive?"

Ren Chennan's words were as cold as ice, piercing his bones. He dodged and fired his Meteor Spear swiftly at the nearest secret guard. The tip of the spear pierced his shoulder, drawing a string of blood.

The leading secret guard was startled and had no choice but to disobey the emperor's order and fight a life-and-death battle with the King of the South, otherwise they would all die here.

He was like a cheetah pouncing on its prey. The gleaming dagger and the meteor gun collided violently, stirring up circles of air waves, making the surroundings buzz and sparks fly.

The early Grandmaster's cultivation surged in the leading secret guard's body. Every move contained the power to split mountains and rocks, but facing the mid-Grandmaster Ren Chennan, it seemed like a case of hitting a rock with an egg.

Under the scorching sun, the courtyard became a testing ground for dark forces, and a fierce confrontation broke out between the five guards and the dark guards.

The sound of fists whistling, feet shadowing, and fierce confrontation accompanied by the sound of air bursting was like thunder exploding in the ears.

The burly guard punched his opponent with both fists filled with powerful hidden energy, but the guard dodged with his agility and at the same time swung a sword straight at the guard's neck. If the guard had not reacted quickly and blocked it with his arm, he would have died on the spot.

The other two guards joined forces to besiege a secret guard. They cooperated well, with one of them taking the main attack while the other roamed around to contain the enemy. This made the secret guard exhausted and he gradually showed signs of defeat.

As the emperor's secret guards, they were no ordinary men. They slapped the ground with both palms, using the recoil force to distance themselves from them. At the same time, they threw several hidden weapons directly at their vital points, forcing the two men to give up their offensive and defend themselves in a hurry.

The cold sword light cut through the tranquility of the air. Each sword beam carried a deadly threat and was chilling.

The remaining two guards stood back to back, forming an impenetrable line of defense to face the remaining secret guards together.

They moved swiftly, and their staggered steps seemed to be weaving an invisible net, trying to trap the enemies one by one.

One of the guards jumped up suddenly, and the long sword in his hand drew a brilliant arc in the air, heading straight for the opponent's throat.

The secret guard reacted extremely quickly, and the long sword in his hand rushed forward like lightning. Sparks flew as metal clashed. The two exchanged several rounds in an instant, and their movements were so fast that it was hard to keep up.

The sunlight shone on Ren Chennan and the secret guards who were in the midst of a fierce battle, adding a layer of golden grandeur to this life-and-death battle.

Ren Chennan's figure appeared more upright in the interweaving of light and shadow. Every time he swung his gun, it was accompanied by flashes of silver light, drawing brilliant but deadly tracks in the air.

Wherever the tip of the gun passed, the air was torn apart, leaving tiny cracks and echoing sharp whistling sounds.

The leading secret guard was like a ghost in the dark night, with a ghostly figure and every attack brought fatal damage.

His eyes were as cold as ice, without the slightest emotion, only absolute loyalty to His Majesty and indifference to life and death.

The confrontation between the two was so fast that it exceeded the limits of the naked eye. When the silver light and the cold light collided, a dazzling light burst out, just like the brightest star in the night sky, brief and brilliant.

After a while, the courtyard was stained with blood, and each stone slab seemed to carry the unyielding tragedy. Although the five guards were covered with wounds, their eyes were still as firm as iron.

As the last secret guard fell, the long sword in his hand slid weakly and made a crisp collision sound on the bluestone slab, echoing in this space shrouded in death.

Watching his men die one by one, the eyes of the leading secret guard burned with flames. Although he knew that defeat was inevitable, he still refused to give up and fought to the death with the King of the South.

Unprecedented power erupted from his body, and the dagger turned into afterimages that formed a web of death. He vowed to make the King of the South pay the price in this final struggle.

Ren Chennan sneered, and the Meteor Gun condensed with silver light, as if gathering the pure energy between heaven and earth.

Suddenly, an illusory silver dragon appeared on the tip of the gun, rushing towards the enemy with the threat of tearing through space.

The leading secret guard's eyes opened wide, with the shadow of the arrogant silver dragon reflected in his pupils. His muscles were stretched to the limit, and he swung the dagger at an unimaginable frequency, weaving a web of death in an attempt to block the destructive light, but it seemed so pale in the face of absolute strength.

"boom!"

The silver dragon ignored all obstacles, penetrated through layers of dagger shadows, and in an instant broke through the offensive and pierced through the chest of the leading guard.

Silver light bloomed in his body, reflecting the astonished face, and then turned into points of light and dissipated into the air.

The leading secret guard fell down weakly, dust rose gently in the morning light, and was then blown away by the breeze, as if even the air was sighing for the end of this moment.

Ren Chennan's Meteor Spear slowly lowered, and the silver light on the tip of the spear gradually faded, returning to a cold metallic luster.

He stared at all this, with only indifference in his eyes.

The five major guards cleaned the courtyard quickly and orderly. Some carefully wiped each blood-stained stone slab with cloth, while others gently lifted the bodies of the secret guards. Their actions revealed their respect for the deceased. Even though they were enemies, everyone's duty was to serve the royal family.

The sunlight shone dappled on the busy figures of the people, adding a scorching color to the brutal cleanup work.
