Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
As soon as they were almost certain of this, a flash of murderous intent flickered in the two assassins’ eyes. One of them let out a cold snarl and swung his long sword at Yue’er.
Seeing the two assassins heading toward Yun Qi, and realizing she had lost all her power, she grew anxious and immediately shouted, "She is the Azure Emperor’s disciple! If you dare harm a single hair on her head, the Azure Emperor will not spare you!"
The two assassins paused only briefly before continuing without hesitation: "The person before us is nothing but a mere mortal! If we kill her, so be it!"
Yue’er watched their swords hurtle toward her. Knowing she was no match for them, she quickly dodged and retreated. However, her opponents were far too powerful, and since she was relying solely on basic footwork, she couldn’t keep up with their speed. In the blink of an eye, the icy sword qi was already bearing down on her face.
"Yun Qi!"
Shen Shiqi cried out in alarm, wanting to rush forward to save her, but he was entangled by the other assassins and couldn’t break free. In that split second of distraction, he was struck by a palm strike, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of blood.
"Pfft!"
Seeing she couldn’t evade it, Yun Qi stopped dodging and stood her ground, staring intently as the sword qi hurtled toward her. Yet, just as the sword qi was about to strike her, a green-clad figure appeared beside her. With a flick of the wrist, he dispersed the sword qi, sending the two attackers tumbling dozens of meters away as they spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Pfft!"
The two assassins felt their blood surging violently within them as they spat blood; with every breath, more blood trickled from the corners of their mouths. Their eyes widened in horror as they stared at the man who had suddenly appeared before them.
His power was so great that a single wave of his hand had severely injured both of them. Such strength was rare in the world today...
"Master!"
Seeing him, Yue’er gave a sweet smile. She knew her master would come to save her.
The Azure Emperor frowned and looked at her. "It’s only been a moment—how did you go and get yourself into trouble again?"
She stuck out her tongue, sounding a bit guilty. "No, no, I didn’t cause trouble. Really, I just came to watch the commotion, and then I saw Shen Shiqi, and those people tried to kill me."
As she spoke, she tugged at his sleeve and said pitifully, "If Master hadn’t come to save me, they would’ve sliced me in half."
Hearing this, a flash of coldness crossed the Azure Emperor’s eyes as he glanced at the black robed men. "You mere members of the Rakshasa Hall dare lay a hand on this Emperor’s disciple?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a powerful, palpable aura surged forth, bearing down on the black-clad assassins. The dozens of assassins were startled by his words; before they could even utter a sound, they felt an immense, crushing pressure descend upon them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A series of heavy thuds echoed out. The dozens of assassins were sent crashing into the ground as if struck by a palm, their bodies sinking deep into the earth. They lay motionless, not even managing to utter a scream.
Shen Shiqi paused in astonishment. As he watched the crisis resolve in an instant and breathed a sigh of relief, he was even more shocked by the Azure Emperor’s power. Such strength was truly beyond their reach.
However, among the dozens of black robed men, only one had not been slammed into the ground. Instead, he knelt there with shattered knees, cold sweat streaming down his face. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"Within three days, I command the Rakshasa Hall to vanish from existence! Get out!" As the deep voice fell, a flick of his sleeve sent the sole surviving assassin flying a hundred meters away.
