225 Chasing the Assassin

The assassin dashed left and right, his movements like the wind as he shuttled through the crowd. His sword was like a rainbow and lightning, whistling through the air. Wherever he passed, blood rained down, and screams rang out. The Imperial Guards fell one after another, their corpses lying on the ground and their blood forming a canal. There were too many Imperial Guards, but there was only one assassin. The white-robed man seemed to know that Qin Yuntian and his four Palace maids were not to be trifled with, so he intentionally avoided them and did not get entangled with them. He chose to kill the weaker Imperial Guards and escape.

At this moment, Qin Yuntian and the four female guards realized that having too many people was not good.

The streets were narrow, and they couldn’t fully display their skills. The assassin’s technique was too fast, and his martial arts were too high. The guards were far from being his match. Often, when they squeezed past the guards and were about to catch up, the assassin had already changed direction and couldn’t catch up. In the blink of an eye, the white-robed man carved out a bloody path and broke out of the encirclement of the Imperial Guards. He then leaped onto the roof of a building on the side of the street! Just as the man in white reached the top of the building and thought he could escape, a sudden change occurred. He heard a sharp shout, and a slim figure appeared before him.

Before he could see his opponent clearly, the dazzling sword light had already split its attention and attacked him. It whistled through the air. Before the sword had arrived, a gloomy cold air had already arrived, and it was bone-chilling! The man in white had just climbed up the roof and was not stable yet. He hurriedly waved his sword in his right hand and put it down.

CLang! He pushed the sword to the side, but the force from the other party’s sword forced him to take a step back. He instantly stepped on the air and fell off the roof.

However, the white-robed man was also really impressive. He knew that if he landed on the street, he would definitely be surrounded by the Imperial Guards again, and it would be difficult to escape then.

In the midst of danger, he turned his body in the air and hooked his feet on the corners of the eaves, using the upside-down golden hook. His head was hanging on the eaves, and his body was like a bow. The long sword rushed up from the eaves, through the eaves, and stabbed the enemy on the roof. Qin Yuntian, who was on the street, could see it clearly. He shouted in shock, “Young lady, be careful!” The person who blocked the white-robed man on the roof was a woman dressed in martial arts attire. She was the third young lady of Jadewater Village, Wang Mengsi!

She did not expect the assassin to be so skilled. Not only did he not go down, but he also counterattacked. She could not help but be shocked. She hurriedly flew back and raised her sword to block! Clang

The two swords collided, creating a cloud of dazzling sparks.

In the midst of danger, Wang Mengsi blocked the man in white’s sword that had pierced through the roof. However, the strength of the man in white’s sword was surprisingly strong. The force directly sent her sword flying out of her hand. A sharp sword intent shot out from the tip of the sword and charged forward. Swoosh! The sword intent brushed past Wang Mengsi’s face and cut off her headband.

In an instant, her long hair spread out and danced in the wind, revealing her beautiful and tender face, which was as gorgeous as fire. The man in white forced Wang Mengsi to retreat with one strike of his sword. He was not going to let her off so easily. He followed closely behind her like a shadow. He struck again, aiming for her throat. It was quick and ruthless. His attack was ruthless and merciless. He did not show any mercy just because she was a beautiful woman. He was cold-blooded, heartless, and hard-hearted. Their martial arts were on completely different levels. The white-robed man’s martial arts were far superior to Wang Mengsi’s. Whether it was in terms of body movement, cultivation, or the speed of his sword, Wang Mengsi could not compare to him.

Seeing that the other party’s sword was coming at her, it was already too late to avoid it. She thought of something in a hurry and rolled onto the roof of the building, narrowly escaping the white-robed man’s sword that cut his throat. Her body rolled down the inclined eaves, rolled down the roof, and fell straight down the street. “Kill!” At this moment, Qin Yuntian had already leaped onto the roof of the building. He jumped high up and with a loud roar, he raised his saber with both hands and used the “heaven and the earth genesis” move. The long sword brought along an unparalleled wind and slashed down towards the white-robed man’s head with great force. The man in white turned around and used the move “raising fire to burn the sky”. The sword in his hand swept up like a flash and collided with the long sword.

Clang!

In an instant, the sound of iron clashing rang out, causing countless sparks to fly. It was brilliant and dazzling.

Almost at the same time, Qin Yuntian’s left palm struck towards the white-robed man. The wind from his palm whistled, containing the power of his thirty years of bitter cultivation. It was extremely powerful. The white-robed man didn’t show any weakness and caught it with a palm.

Bang!

The two men’s swords and palms clashed. Under the impact, the beam on the roof could not bear the considerable force of the two and collapsed. The two fell into the building together.

In an instant, the sound of metal clashing came from the building, and it lasted for the time it took to brew a cup of tea before it became silent and no more movement could be heard! He Chuan had been following the assassin with his spiritual sense.

Just as Qin Yuntian was about to continue pursuing the fleeing assassin, a sound came from above him. He hurriedly looked up and saw a person rolling down from the roof, falling towards him. Qin Yuntian jumped in shock. In a hurry, he didn’t have time to think and hurriedly opened his arms to catch the falling person.

A person who weighed more than a hundred pounds fell from a three-story building. The force of the fall was not to be underestimated. Qin Yuntian did not know how powerful it was and was not prepared enough. He caught the person in time, but the result was that he was crushed to the ground by the person who rolled down. The weight almost suffocated him.

The person who had rolled down the roof was, of course, Wang Mengsi. She held her head and closed her eyes, too scared to look at anyone!

He Chuan didn’t want to understand Qin Yuntian’s words.

Who was behind the assassin? Why did he want to kill Empress Changning?

…

In a courtyard.

Liu Chengwen was panting heavily!

He didn’t expect today’s assassination to be so difficult. If he was given another chance, he definitely wouldn’t do such a stupid thing again. The money he took wasn’t enough to be the down payment!

The mysterious figure beside the Empress was at least a saint cultivator. If it weren’t for his Qinggong, he would have died today!

However, he didn’t know that He Chuan had let him go on purpose.

“It seems that there are some people coveting the Great Zhou Dynasty. Your Majesty, please continue to move forward. I will be back in a while.”

The more He Chuan cultivated, the more he could see the changes in the world. He was getting closer and closer to the ninth-rank saint cultivator.

He could destroy mountains with a thought, and his arms had the strength of tens of millions of pounds.

It could even change the weather of a small area. However, it could not change the weather of an entire city, much less the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, it was still very easy to track down rats.

…

Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh!

In the sky above the courtyard, there was a strange sound of wind.

“Who’s there!” Bian Zhennan asked!

“Hehe, so you’re one of the four great villains of the pugilistic world. Very good! Where’s your boss, Liu Chengwen?” Dou Rongguo, the chief of the martial arts performance supervisor, suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

He looked at the three people on the roof.

“Who the hell are you?” Bian Zhennan looked at Dou Rongguo with a fierce look and cursed!

“You don’t even know who I am?” Dou Rongguo sneered. “I’ll capture you first, then I’ll ask you who the mastermind behind the assassination of His Majesty is!”

Buzzzzzz!

Dou Rongguo made his move.

“Damn it, so it’s a eunuch. I’ve long heard that the eunuchs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are powerful. Today, I’m going to see how powerful this eunuch is!” Bian Zhennan directly pounced on Dou Rongguo.
