Bloody Kyoto

Li Nanle looked towards the rooftop not far away and spotted a white figure there.

Intuitively, she knew it was that Old Ancestor Han, but this time she didn't sense the terrifying aura she had last time.

Seeing that he was still standing there, showing no intention of coming over, Li Nanle couldn't understand what he meant.

But whatever he wants to do, as long as it doesn't bother her, it's a good thing.

As she turned to enter the palace, a voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Be careful of the Xiang family."

Li Nanle paused, his brow furrowed. Who was speaking? And who were the Xiang family members?

Since returning to Beijing, Li Nanle has been hiding or staying in his spatial dimension, and has not heard any of the rumors spread by the Xiang family or the Xiang family's self-inflicted arrest of Huo Yunxia.

Therefore, at this point, she had no idea who the Xiang family members were.

Just as she was about to ask who the Xiang family members were, a murderous aura came from behind her, and she turned around and threw a punch.

"boom!"

"boom!"

In the darkness, two figures stood, one with a fist pressed against the other's stomach, and the other against the other's chest.

A moment later, the two of them stepped back.

After Li Nanle was punched in the chest, his healing ability activated on its own.

Although the blow was fatal to an ordinary person, it only hurt a little for Li Nanle, who has healing abilities.

She's mostly fine, but the other person is in serious trouble.

After taking a few steps back, he started vomiting blood, and he could feel pieces of flesh coming out of his mouth.

The internal organs were ruptured; that was a tremendous force.

Xiang Yicong looked up at the upright figure standing before him, and was deeply shocked.

He was defeated in just one move.

He was wrong; he didn't understand her strength before choosing close combat.

I thought she must not be good at close combat because she uses vines, but I never expected her strength to be so great.

Li Nanle raised his hand and waved, sending a mutated ivy seed to the ground, heading straight for the person opposite him.

Seeing Li Nanle's actions, Xiang Yicong quickly took out a small bottle, bit off the stopper with his teeth, tilted his head back, and drank the contents of the bottle in one gulp.

Then he took out the short blade tucked into his waistband and swung it to cut off the climbing ivy vines that were reaching up to him.

The ivy was incredibly fast; Xiang Yicong chopped at it while simultaneously using his light-footed skills to leap up the wall.

But it was no use; the ivy quickly caught up with them.

Xiang Yicong swung his sword with great force, shattering the entire climbing ivy into pieces.

Li Nanle's ability was not used in time, and Xiang Yicong seized the opportunity to leap in front of Li Nanle and swung his knife.

Li Nanle immediately disappeared from the spot, but reappeared in the blink of an eye, smashing a large iron hammer at Xiang Yicong.

He was stunned when Li Nanle suddenly disappeared from his sight. When Li Nanle reappeared and hit him with an iron hammer, he was too slow to react and could not dodge. He could only subconsciously raise an arm to block.

If it were just a blow from the hammer, it wouldn't cause much damage to Xiang Yicong, but if the user were a strong person, it would be a different story.

Xiang Yicong's arm was hit hard and immediately changed shape.

The broken bone had pierced through the skin and was exposed, which was gruesome to look at.

He gritted his teeth and endured the pain before leaping back several times to create distance between himself and Li Nanle.

Before I could recover, the ivy climbed up again.

Xiang Yicong, supporting his completely broken arm, kept dodging. Perhaps feeling that he could not win, he spread the hand supporting his arm in his chest, and a ball of golden light shot into the sky.

Li Nanle narrowed his eyes. Was this a signal flare to summon his companions?

If so, then we need to hurry, otherwise we'll have even less chance to kill Consort Hui.

As she manipulated the ivy, she glanced at a corner of the palace.

Ever since she got into a fight with this person, there has been another person there. If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Consort Hui.

Consort Hui was startled when she suddenly met Li Nanle's eyes, followed by anger.

How dare a mere outsider look at her like that? He deserves to die!

As she waved her hand, a group of men in black appeared.

These men in black were the emperor's personal guards; their strength was not as great as Xiang Yicong's, but it was not inferior either.

Li Nanle was surprised to see so many people. She hadn't noticed them at first, so it seemed they were hiding in the inner hall.

Consort Hui comforted Consort Shu, telling her not to be afraid, but in doing so, she ended up protecting herself completely.

A group of people rushed over with knives. Li Nanle was naturally unable to resist, so he immediately gave up controlling the ivy and dropped a mutated Vine seed at his feet.

The seeds sprouted and grew rapidly after landing, eventually forming vines as thick as an arm that completely surrounded Li Nanle.

The guard's knife struck the Vajra Vine, and with a clang, the knife broke.

The guards stared in disbelief at the broken sword in their hands, then at the vine-covered cocoon before them, questioning their very existence.

It's normal for the blade to break, but it's unbelievable that their attack, imbued with internal force, didn't even scratch the vine.

"Get out of my way, I'll handle this!"

After the ivy stopped attacking, Xiang Yicong drank another bottle of blood, but his arm still didn't heal.

He knew that the blood could cure diseases and heal wounds, but it could not mend shattered bones.

Without hesitation, he cut off his own right arm. As expected of a family head, he didn't utter a sound when he did it.

No one else noticed.

After recovering, seeing the guards cutting down the vines, he thought he should try it himself.

The guards stepped aside, and he gripped a short knife in his left hand, bracing himself with one leg behind him, his eyes burning with intensity as he stared at the vine cocoon.

"what!"

A slash of blade energy was unleashed, and with a 'snap', a vine snapped.

The guards were full of admiration, and Consort Hui walked out arrogantly, surrounded by palace maids.

"The otherworldly beings are now trapped like turtles in a jar; they don't even dare to show their faces."

"Don't bother chopping it, just pour oil on it and burn it."

Upon hearing this, the two guards immediately sprang into action, while the others remained still, continuing to protect Consort Hui completely.

Upon hearing this, Li Nan chuckled softly, and with a slight twitch of his fingers, the mutated ivy that had stopped growing quietly began to move again along the ground.

"Uncle!"

"Homeowner!"

Several members of the Xiang family fell down from the top of the wall one after another. When they saw Xiang Yicong, who was missing an arm, they exclaimed in surprise.

Xiang Lizhen jumped down to Xiang Yicong's side, her eyes red.

Others gathered around him, looking sad.

"I'm sorry, Uncle. If I had come sooner, you wouldn't have..."

"It's nothing, just an arm. I'm still alive, aren't I?" Xiang Yicong laughed heartily, patting his chest to show that he was perfectly fine.

Although he said that, Xiang Lizhen didn't feel much better.

"It's all that Consort Shu's fault. I saw the signal and was about to rush over, but she was so scared that she grabbed my nephew and wouldn't let him leave."

After angrily finishing his statement, he turned to the other members of the Xiang family and questioned them, "Why are you all so slow too?"

"Young Master Li Zhen, it's not that we're slow, it's just that the distance is too far."

"Too far?" Xiang Lizhen didn't understand. These people in front of him were all protecting the emperor, but didn't the emperor live in...

He suddenly realized that the emperor's residence was not the place everyone knew, but had been secretly moved to another location.

They're really afraid of dying.

She's not even as good as Consort Hui.
