After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Princess De'an's face turned deathly pale instantly.

She drew her long whip from her waist and coldly shouted, "Insolence! Do you know who I am? If you dare to lay a hand on me, my father and mother will not let you get away with it!"

The assassin ignored them and thrust his sword at them, especially at Xie Mingzhu.

Xie Mingzhu cried out in surprise and closed her eyes tightly.

"Pearl!"

Xie Yuze, who was hiding in the bushes, panicked and immediately leaped out of the bushes, delivering a side kick to the two assassins who were attacking Xie Mingzhu.

"Third brother!"

Xie Mingzhu felt as if she had seen a lifeline, and two lines of clear tears instantly streamed down her beautiful eyes.

Seeing this, the remaining three assassins attacked Xie Yuze simultaneously.

The two assassins who had been kicked by Xie Yuze quickly got up. They glanced at the two women behind them, thought for a moment, and then attacked Xie Yuze as well.

The only one with the power to resist is Xie Yuze; let's kill him first.

Xie Yuze was struggling to take on five opponents at once.

Xie Mingzhu was rescued and immediately staggered to her feet, following Princess De'an to hide to the side.

While fighting the five assassins, Xie Yuze said to Xie Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, you go first."

Xie Mingzhu naturally refused. She covered her lips, crying and shaking her head: "No, how can I abandon you, brother? We'll go together!"

Princess De'an, on the other hand, was more clear-headed.

She immediately pulled Xie Mingzhu aside and said, "Let's go first. There's no point in us staying here; we'll only hold your brother back."

"elder brother……"

Xie Mingzhu was unwilling to leave.

Princess De'an dragged Xie Mingzhu away by force.

In the bushes, Xie Xing saw Xie Mingzhu leave and became anxious. She wanted to chase after her, but there was still someone lying next to her. If she left, Jun Lanjin would be completely exposed to the assassin's sight.

Moreover, how could Xie Yuze possibly handle five people by himself?

Xie Xing bit her fingers anxiously.

What should I do? What should I do?

Over there, Xie Yuze was gradually finding it difficult. He felt that the assassins' skills were too formidable, and he was struggling to keep up.

At this moment, one of the assassins saw Xie Yuze's weakness and took the opportunity to kick him.

"puff."

Xie Yuze spat out a mouthful of blood.

He staggered back a few steps, clutching his chest, and looked at the assassins in astonishment.

What a strong internal force!

Over there, the system also sensed something was amiss: [This skill level... it shouldn't be the skill level of the previous dynasty's faction, right?]

Although your third brother is a playboy in public, he secretly practices martial arts diligently. He should have no problem dealing with five former regime members.

[These aren't members of the previous regime; other assassins have infiltrated the autumn hunt.]

Seeing Xie Yuze vomit blood, Xie Xing was filled with worry and anxiety: "What should we do?"

"We can't just die here, can we?"

The system paused for a moment.

Over there, five assassins joined forces, forcing Xie Yuze into a corner with no way to retreat. All five swords thrust towards Xie Yuze simultaneously.

Xie Xing's eyes widened slightly.

Xie Yuze endured the pain in his chest and spun around to dodge the deadly attack that came from five swords at once.

He lightly used his footwork to try to escape, but an assassin noticed him and struck him directly in the back.

"boom!"

The powerful internal energy exploded directly in the surrounding area.

Xie Yuze coughed up blood, faced the bushes where Xie Xing was hiding, and collapsed to his knees, completely exhausted.

Xie Xingxing's eyes trembled slightly, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"run!"

Xie Yuze's lips twitched slightly, and then he collapsed to the ground.

"Brother!" Xie Xing burst into tears instantly.

Is he... dead?

As Xie Yuze fell, the other five assassins also noticed Xie Xing in the bushes, and Wushuang looked over with murderous intent in her eyes.

Xie Xing took two steps back.

The system's voice was somewhat somber: [Host, something's not right with the plot.]

To save your life, I can expend 10% of my energy to manage your body and help you through this ordeal.

Are you willing?

Xie Xing had no reason not to agree.

She nodded immediately: "I agree."

As soon as the voice fell, Xie Xing's consciousness was plunged into darkness. When she opened her eyes again, she found that her body was moving on its own.

The body operated by the system is completely different from Xie Xing's.

Xie Xing found this perspective incredibly amazing; she didn't even need to control her body, it moved on its own.

As the sun set, the sky was ablaze with red clouds.

At that moment, in the woods, five assassins, their faces filled with murderous intent, headed toward the girl hiding in the jungle.

The girl seemed to be frozen in fear, standing rooted to the spot, too terrified to move.

The assassin sneered and drew his sword, aiming straight for the girl's neck.

At this time-

The girl, whose almond-shaped eyes had been wet with fear, opened them again. Her clear eyes were now filled with a chilling light, as cold as an emotionless machine.

She raised her hand, her fingertips gripping the sword, her emotionless eyes coldly fixed on the assassin.

With a "click".

With just a gentle snap of those slender fingers, the sword was instantly broken in two.

The assassin looked on in astonishment, staring in shock at the girl before him.

The other assassins' eyes widened in shock, and they all raised their swords to attack the system.

Without moving, the system shattered the sword in her hand into several fragments that floated in the air before instantly stabbing towards the five assassins.

The shards pierced their necks, killing them instantly.

Xie Xing was utterly shocked: "System, you're that amazing?!"

After eliminating the five assassins, the system immediately returned Xie Xing's body to her, stating: "[This is internal energy simulated using energy.]"

It should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Its voice sounded somewhat frustrated: "[How did the plot fall apart so badly? No wonder we need a plot correction system.]"

Xie Xing didn't know what was going on either.

The moment she regained control of her body, she swayed and felt weak and powerless all over.

This is a side effect of the aftercare; it will be fine in a while.

Xie Xing nodded.

The system then said: [Host, this is a one-time exception. This time it was because I underestimated the extent of the plot's collapse. You need to be more careful in the future.]

Having just narrowly escaped death, Xie Xing was still shaken.

She kept a straight face and said very seriously, "I know."

Even without the system saying anything, Xie Xing would notice it himself.

This is not a game.

This is ancient times, not a TV drama. If she is not careful, she could really die.

Xie Xing first ran to the assassins to check if they were really dead, then with a pale face, he searched their bodies for everything he could find.

Finally, they stripped off their clothes and tied them together into two long ropes, binding the other end to Xie Yuze and Jun Lanjin. They then used all their strength to drag the two away with great difficulty.

Xie Yuze fainted, and with no one to rely on, Xie Xing could only grope her way through the vast forest alone.

In modern times, Xie Xing had never ventured into a forest alone, let alone been to a remote and isolated countryside, much less this dangerous primeval forest.

Not only are there many wild animals in the forest, but there are also potential assassins.

Xie Xing could only suppress his inner turmoil and drag the two injured men to a secluded place to hide them.

She was lucky and soon found a hole.

Xie Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced into the cave, fearing there might be wild animals inside, and picked up a stone and threw it over.

Instantly, a roar resounded from the cave entrance.

Xie Xing: !

Her dirty little face froze for a moment.

isn't it?

How unlucky! This is nothing like what's shown in TV dramas!
