As the assassin approached, the atmosphere became increasingly depressing and tense.

By this time, the civilians had also been ruthlessly hacked and killed by the assassins. Screams could be heard from time to time, and blood splattered on the ground and on bodies. Soon, the once joyous and peaceful streets were now a river of blood. A group of people stood there, watching the assassins approach closer and closer, and the crowds grew larger and larger.

Princess Ling'er, the least skilled of the group, now hid behind Siyu and Prince Xiao. Several people stood back to back, protecting each other. The guards and secret guards struggled through the crowd to reach their masters. The assassins also surrounded the group. At this moment, everyone in the crowd was exposed.

Watching these assassins closing in on me with their sly smiles and sarcastic remarks, I wondered, "Have you thought about how you're going to die? Today, we'll give you a quick death. I heard you got away the last few times. This time, we'll definitely make your death quicker. And we won't let you get away again."

Princess Linglan was surrounded. Although she was afraid, she still cursed unconvincedly, "Come on if you dare! Who's afraid of you? You are bullying the weak with your numbers, a bunch of cowards. You dare to assassinate us even though you know our identities. You all deserve to die."

The black-clad assassin, looking at the princess protected in the crowd, said with disdain, "The eldest daughter of the Princess's family, Princess Linglan, wow! You're quite pretty! Why don't you accompany us? It will make your death easier and less painful. Otherwise, it will be a very painful and ugly death."

Linglan was so angry that her face turned red. "Bullshit, you son of a bitch. You bastards deserve to be killed. I must make my uncle exterminate all nine generations of your clan and kill your entire family."

The assassins laughed and said, we are just orphans, we have no family.

Linglan was so angry that she said incoherently, "You, you are shameless."

The people who were injured by the attacks had already been carried and moved away by the people, and no one cared about the dead for the time being, as they were all afraid of being injured. They could only watch from a distance as the blood of the dead flowed along the road.

The assassin had teased them enough and gave the order: "Kill, leave no one alive." The streets were so quiet you could hear the sound of the falling leaves. Suddenly, a cry of "Kill!" Like water dripping into a frying pan, everyone erupted in a tangle of violence.

King Xiao's figure flashed, and he rushed towards the black-clad assassin like a ghost, waving the long sword in his hand with great energy, bringing out a sharp sword wind.

Siyu followed closely behind, her longsword whirling and her sword energy surging like a wave, her momentum overwhelming. Princess Linglan's mediocre skills meant she could only follow behind her cousin and sisters, watching for those who weren't dead, and then kicking the assassins who were about to rise, saying from time to time, "I let you guys assassinate me, and see if you can survive."

Siyu and Xiaowang had no place to practice their newly learned sword and knife skills.

Today was a good day to test out the fruits of my training. The two used the Jade Water and Blue Cloud Sword and the Clear Wind and Bright Moon Blade, each using their own unique in-and-out transformations. With the help of the spiritual spring water and the elixirs within the space, their martial arts skills improved by leaps and bounds. Siyu, who lacked internal energy, also saw rapid progress thanks to the various elixirs within the space.

Prince Xiao, a former god of war, already possessed a profound martial arts foundation, and with the addition of the Clear Wind and Bright Moon Blade, his skills advanced by leaps and bounds. The two of them coordinated their combined swords, crushing the assassin to a pulp...

The third and fifth senior brothers moved lightly in the battle, the daggers in their hands like poisonous snakes emerging from their holes, each move deadly.

The black-clad assassins were not to be outdone. Their agility and uncanny swordsmanship led to a fierce fight with Xiao Wang and his men. Blood splattered from time to time amidst the flashing swords and shadows, and the battle was exceptionally brutal.

Xiao Wang's swordsmanship was sharp, and each of his strikes contained endless power, which made the black-clad assassins dare not approach easily.

Siyu's swordsmanship was extremely powerful. Wherever the sword passed, the black-clad assassins fell to the ground one after another.

Princess Linglan's dagger was used to finish off the enemy one by one.

Yanan, the daughter of the general's mansion, was no exception. Her long whip was as elusive as a ghost, making it impossible for the enemy to defend themselves.

With the tacit cooperation of the six people, the black-clad assassins gradually lost the upper hand. However, they did not give up and continued to resist stubbornly, trying to find an opportunity to counterattack.

As the battle reached a fever pitch, Xiao Wang roared, his sword technique suddenly changing, unleashing his unique skill, "Thunderbolt." His sword flashed, sweeping forward like a raging thunderbolt, instantly knocking down several black-clad assassins.

Seeing this, Siyu also used her unique skill, [Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers]. For a moment, the momentum on the field was like a rainbow. The black-clad assassins finally couldn't resist and began to retreat.

The two people hiding in the dark were now extremely anxious. They clenched their fists and kept cursing. "Useless good-for-nothings, what a bunch of good-for-nothings!" they said. "A bunch of good-for-nothings. This king gave them so much money to support them."

And I spent so much money hiring them, and they can't even handle such a small matter. And they're the First Assassin's Pavilion? Idiots.

Ultimately, thanks to the combined efforts of Prince Xiao, Siyu, Third Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, Yanan, and Princess Linglan, the black-clad assassins were completely repelled. Just as everyone saw the black-clad men fall, their guard dropped, when something unexpected happened: arrows pierced the air from different directions, piercing the group. Prince Xiao, hearing the arrows aimed at himself and Siyu, quickly swung his sword to cut them off. Princess Linglan, however, was not so lucky; an arrow lodged directly into her shoulder.

Another sword shot towards Yanan. At the critical moment, the fifth senior brother flew forward, hugged Yanan and did a 360-degree spin in the air, and landed in a perfect and graceful posture.

Everyone dodged the arrow. Looking toward the source, they found no one in sight. Knowing the danger was over, they hurriedly took Linglan back to the inn. Prince Xiao ordered Long Yi to fetch the county magistrate and arrange for the innocent people and injured on the street.

Hurry, hurry, go boil some water. Get the scissors, the wine, Baizhi, get my medicine box. Yanan stays, the rest of you go out.

Sister Yu'er, am I going to die? Uh-huh, I haven't married Brother Jing yet? Brother Jing hasn't come to Kyoto to see me yet?

"Okay, my dear Sister Ling'er, take this pill. Then I'll remove the arrow and suture your wound. Don't worry! You won't die. I'm still waiting for you to become my cousin's wife." During their conversation, Princess Linglan fell asleep.

Turning back, Siyu changed her face to a serious one. She rigorously told Yanan how to use all the knives and needles in the medicine box, and told him what he should hand to him during the operation. After listening to Siyu's explanation, Yanan read it twice and then wrote it down.

The master and disciple began to remove the arrow and suture the wound for Princess Linglan in the room. An hour later, the two walked out of the room exhausted.
