In an instant, the grandeur of the peak spring festival disappeared. That magnificent celebration turned into a terrible tragedy of slaughter.
The whole city poranda. The bodies of innocent people were lying everywhere. The smell of blood rancid mixed with the pungent aroma of burning.
The secret escort troops came to Baili Qingchen and Qingyi's aid. Baili Qingchen then shouted, “Protect His Majesty the Emperor!”
The screams were like orders. The secret guard force obediently, ran towards the city tower which was much worse than this district.
There, dozens of palace guards lay lifeless, covered in blood. The surviving troops tried to fight desperately against the onslaught of assassins, dispelling the swords that targeted the bodies of members of the imperial family.
Emperor Baili and Empress Dowager Ming who had descended from the city tower took refuge behind the escorting troops. Empress Dowager Ming several times shouted as the bodyguard troops fell down in front of him. Her beautiful clothes were stained with blood.
Emperor Baili stared coldly, whipped out his guard's sword and joined the fight. Although his abilities were below Baili Qingchen's, he could still kill people.
It's just that his power ran out faster. Emperor Baili was almost attacked if Cui Kong did not arrive in time and repelled the attack. Cui Kong came with King Changle's special forces. With this help, fighting the enemy would be easier.
“Your Highness, are you okay?” asked Cui Kong on the sidelines to withstand the attack.
“Where is my uncle?”
“Your Majesty the King is trapped in the Southern District with the Princess Empress. He ordered me to protect His Majesty.”
“How percent of your confidence to win?”
“With the help of special forces King Changle, this assassin can be quelled in fifteen minutes.”
Fifteen minutes felt like fifteen hours. Killers that come non-stop and there are many. Besides, they are very strong.
These killers are highly trained. Although their attacks were violent, they did not seem to have any intention of killing either Emperor Baili or Empress Dowager Ming.
Cui Kong realized that and ordered the subordinates to capture one person alive. If caught, he could hand it over to Baili Qingchen and uncover the motive behind this assault and massacre. But, that's actually very difficult.
Emperor Baili was rescued an hour later. King Changle's special forces managed to crush the assassins under the city tower.
They immediately fled Emperor Baili and Empress Dowager Ming to the palace. Concubine Jia and Liu Erniang were also rescued moments later.
Meanwhile, in the Southern District, Baili Qingchen and Qingyi were overwhelmed against assassins as the bodyguard forces were all ordered to rescue Emperor Baili.
Qingyi was already very tired, but as her anger was burning, the spirit beat her back and rose many times.
Qingyi was like an idolatrous person. Now he even dared to raise his sword and did not hesitate to kill the opponent who approached him.
His eyes were burning red. At that moment, the girl who was usually bright and clear-eyed looked like a terrifying demon.
“Basic trash!” maki Qingyi on the killer.
“Master! Press your anger! You're not assigned to kill here! Sir, you're not a murderer!”
Yinghao who had already turned into a factory suit tried to resuscitate his master. It was extremely dangerous for Qingyi if until her heart was filled with dark aura and killed many people.
Qingyi shook her head and winked a few times after hearing Yinghao's voice. His sense of well-being is back.
The girl raised her sword that was already covered in blood. His eyes then noticed his already messy appearance condition.
The bodies of murderers lay in the midst of the corpses of the inhabitants. Qingyi instantly dropped her sword, her heart shaken.
His hand was raised, and he trembled seeing so much blood stain his skin. Qingyi was like a dazed person, her breathing was tight.
“I….Kill them?”
Baili Qingchen who saw her empress suddenly fell silent and dazed immediately felt astonished. That girl was so fierce.
Now, she turned like an innocent woman who was shocked by something. His sword even lay on the ground, becoming completely red from the blood.
“Princess Empress, are you okay?”
However, Qingyi ignored him. He was still trying to digest what he had done and how to accept it.
These killers died for it?
“Liu Qingyi, watch out!”
Thanks to the warning that Baili Qingchen shouted, Qingyi managed to dodge the shot of an arrow that targeted her neck. The demon in his heart that had hibernated for a few minutes woke up again.
Qingyi's eyes reddened, but now she was more conscious and her common sense accompanied her. He would not dirty his hands with blood again directly.
“Yinghao, remove the bomb and firearm!”
Yinghao was happy that his master had finally come to his senses and regained himself. The little panda then pulled out a small bomb chest and two firearms.
Unwittingly Baili Qingchen, Qingyi began throwing the small bombs at the assassins and tear gas rushed out.
Baili Qingchen smelled this scent, then covered her nose and eyes with a cloth. This gas was just like the gas when he fought the assassins on the way to Xizhou.
Unmistakably, this must be the secret weapon belonging to her empress. In that condition, as usual, Baili Qingchen came back against the killer and she won a landslide victory.
The other assassins had already been conquered by Qingyi. The gunfire did not contain bullets, but rather high doses of drugs that could make people instantly faint. The tear gas slowly disappeared, the few remaining assassins came back to attack.
“Come, enjoy your own tragedy show and sleep well! Who knows you guys met the King of Hell!”
The little devil laughed horribly. Yinghao shuddered as his master who was fighting in a conscious state was much more terrifying than when he lost his mind. The remaining assassins called for reinforcements, and several other assassins reappeared from within the water.
A firework exploded in the air. Cui Kong came after saving Emperor Baili and the rest of the imperial family.
The bodyguard helped Baili Qingchen to defeat the remaining assassins. Another assassin squad came after fireworks were detonated.
Along with the arrival of the after-slayers, King Changle's secret guard and special forces came. A fierce battle was once again fought in the Southern District. Qingyi ran out of tear gas bombs, and could only fire drugs at the after-killers.
While engrossed in shooting, Qingyi accidentally caught another scene. An assassin seemed to be carrying a small child on his back, running away from the chaos and almost disappearing in the darkness. Qingyi smirked, then subconsciously broke away from the Southern District.
“Master, where are you going?” ask Yinghao.
“Contestment lifting!”
Yinghao reluctantly followed his master.
When the army of after-killers can finally be crippled, Baili Qingchen only realizes that she has forgotten something. Baili Qingchen looked around, looking for the figure of her empress who had been standing not far from her.
Niente. There were only the corpses of the assassins and the residents, as well as a few unconscious assassins.
“Where is Princess Empress?”
Cui Kong flabbergasted. Shit, he forgot about it too!
“Your Majesty, it seems that the assassins kidnapped Princess Empress,” Cui Kong replied with doubt and fear.
Baili Qingchen's pupils dilated, and her cold expression oozed. The aura killing him was so powerful. Cui Kong didn't even know if his master was this terrible.
