Chapter 72: Undying, Unresting!

  Clang

  The sword in his hand suddenly broke, and he fell to the ground powerless. Liu Cheng's face was covered with wounds, and blood flowed from all over his body. He could no longer hold the hilt of the sword and swayed unsteadily.

  He only felt that his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, the scenery in front of him was layered and blurred, everyone in his field of vision was spinning around, he shook his head to try to wake himself up.

  He had only one thought in his mind: Had His Highness successfully escaped...

  Suddenly a familiar figure entered his field of vision, wearing a black skirt with a belt around her waist. Why did he feel so familiar?

  Black skirt with a waistband...

  Wait, Your Highness!!

  Liu Cheng suddenly reacted and his vision cleared up instantly. The master he had desperately protected was now standing right in front of him again!!

  The cruelty of the rebels in front of him was etched in his mind, Liu Cheng's body trembled, and he hastily grabbed Zhou Yuexiao's arm and asked urgently: "Your Highness, why have you come back again?!"

  Zhou Yu Xiao turned around, even with a great enemy in front of her, she still smiled brightly and said softly: "Uncle Liu, don't worry, I will definitely take you away from here."

  Liu Cheng was stunned by Zhou Yu's sudden smile, his oxygen-deprived brain racing at full speed, still unable to think of any way for Zhou Yu to escape the predicament. He thus concluded in his heart that they were now thoroughly endangered, and while his own life might not be worth much, if anything happened to His Highness...

  Liu Cheng felt a chill run down his spine and didn't dare think any further.

  "Your Highness, don't be foolish. We are no match for them. Now is not the time to show mercy to women and children. As long as you are safe, His Majesty will not let these bandits off, but if you fall into their hands, His Majesty will be held hostage by them, and that would be disastrous!"

  Zhou Yu Xiao seemed to have not heard the anxiety in Liu Cheng's words, her perfectly pale face calm and stern, with a hint of coldness. Her whole body's true yuan was rolling and moving, her skirt fluttering slowly, her black hair slowly rising, and she exuded an inexplicable confidence.

  "Your Highness..." Liu Cheng was stunned, he had watched Zhou Yu Xiao grow up with his own eyes, but at this moment, the Zhou Yu Xiao in front of him gave him a sense of unfamiliarity.

  Confidence, calmness, strength...

  This is not even close to Weixiao Yixing's strength!

  Is this still the lovely princess with a sweet smile all over her face as before?

  Liu Cheng's heart was complicated, Zhou Yuxiao's current appearance reminded him of the ruthless and decisive Holy Emperor, and at this moment, Zhou Yuxiao actually had a hint of the Holy Emperor's temperament!

  Logically, he should be delighted, but amidst the delight, feelings of helplessness and sadness also emerged. In the end, the lovely and sweet princess will inevitably transform into a cold and ruthless figure, eventually becoming as majestic as the Holy One?

  To be honest, Liu Cheng didn't want Zhou Yuxiao to become like that. He just hoped the princess could live a carefree life and get married by imperial decree in a few years, being a happy princess forever would be the best.

  If possible, he would apply to the Emperor when Zhou Yu Xiao got married and let him continue to follow the princess, protecting her for life. Liu Cheng had been a bodyguard for a long time, and for decades he had been in the imperial palace, with no children under his knees, and he had long treated Zhou Yu Xiao as his own daughter.

  The dark and cold side of the royal family, he didn't want Zhou Yuxiao to come into contact with.

  But now, what shouldn't have come has finally arrived.

  "Alas..." Liu Cheng sighed inwardly. He had lost too much blood, and if it weren't for a thread of willpower holding him up, he would have probably fainted long ago.

  "Uncle Liu, don't worry, it will be safe, we'll all be safe." Zhou Yuxiao's soft voice, like a gentle whisper in a dream, sounded in Liu Cheng's ear, and then Zhou Yuxiao's eyes flashed with sharp light, his whole body's aura suddenly changed.

  If what was said earlier was calm and solemn, then now it's sharp!

  Her eyes, which used to be full of smiles, now overflow with murderous intent!

  …………………………

  Chen Li was secretly shocked. The black-skirted girl in front of him, who was also his target this time, suddenly burst out with an unexpectedly strong momentum.

  However, he was only slightly surprised. To ensure that this operation went smoothly, he specially applied to the top, and the top obviously also attached great importance to this operation, and even borrowed two core members from a dark organization called "Dusk".

  Thinking of the two men's methods, Chen Li's mind was slightly settled, and his gaze passed through the black skirted girl to look at the guard who was about to fall but kept getting up again, feeling a sense of reverence.

  But...

  Chen Li raised his head and looked at the somewhat dim sky, his eyes suddenly sharp.

  It's all over now!!

  Chen Li stepped out of the team step by step, and being able to mix in the organization until now is a testament to his abilities. Not to mention that kind of place doesn't have any weaklings!

  A gray airflow burst out from Chen's body, converging into a gray long knife in his hand. The long knife was covered with spider web-like cracks, but strangely, the entire knife looked so harmonious, not like a broken blade at all.

  A faint aura of fluctuation emanates from this peculiar knife.

  "Must be Miss Zhou, right?" Chen Li stood at the front of the team with a single hand grasping his knife, a smile on his face.

  Zhou Yu's icy eyes narrowed slightly.

  "Chen Li stood up and said with a smile, 'I have been entrusted to invite Miss Zhou to come over as a guest. I also hope that Miss Zhou can give me some face.'" Chen Li's smile remained unchanged, his whole face radiant with joy.

  Yang Yu Xi's three people all had their eyes fixed on him, hiding in the dark.

  "This guy is really a smiling tiger." Luo Xuan chuckled.

  "This Zhou Yu Xuan is not simple at all..." Yang Yu Xi supported her chin, her eyes fixed on Zhou Yu Xuan below.

  "Her natural talent is not simple at all, we just slightly guided her on the road and she broke through, and looking at her momentum, it's not just a simple micro-second or two-star, clearly she has already reached the peak!" Luo Xuan took over.

  As for Nan Gong Zang Jie, his eyes were fixed on Chen Li, to be precise, the knife in Chen Li's hand!

  The Azure Dagger was no longer sufficient as his power grew, and that gray longsword was undoubtedly very suitable for him!

  "There are three masters." Nan Gong Cang Jie suddenly spoke up.

  Yang Yu Xi and Luo Xuan slightly trembled, Nan Gong Cang Jie walked the path of a silent assassin, his perception of this aura was extremely accurate, he said three must be three, not one more or one less.

  "Are they stronger than us?" Yang Yu Xi also became serious.

  Nangong Cangjie slowly shook his head, choosing his words carefully: "It's not good to say."

  Yang Yu Xi heard this and lowered her head in contemplation.

  "Doesn't it seem strange..." Luo Xuan interrupted at this time.

  "Huh? What's strange?"

  Luo Xuan smoothed his hair and said: "Since Yu Xiao's identity is special, why are the guards so weak that they can't even withstand people from the Micro Boundary?"

  As soon as this was said, Yang Yu Xi and Nan Gong Zang Jie both slightly paused, thinking carefully and indeed it was so.

  The three of us have a good talent, but we are still too young and do not yet have the ability to compete with the older generation. That leader of the guards looks like a seasoned veteran, how can his strength be so weak?

  Yang Yu Xi and three others were at their wit's end.

  "Could it be due to a sneak attack?" Nan Gong Cang Jie suddenly thought of something and asked, this kind of thing was his specialty, in an unsuspecting situation, it could indeed cause great harm to someone with higher cultivation than himself.

  "Look, Yu Xiao has made his move!" Luo Xuan exclaimed in a low voice.

  Yang Yu Xi and Nan Gong Zang Jie's attention was drawn over in an instant.

  So neither of them noticed that the young man behind Chen Li's left raised an eyebrow slightly, he lifted his narrow eyes and glanced at the three people hiding, then his body disappeared into thin air.

  Even Chen Li in front of him did not notice his disappearance, only the woman behind Chen Li's right side glanced faintly.

  Zhou Yu's aura surged to a few points, and a silver long sword suddenly appeared in her hand, shining brightly.

  The sword slowly rises.

  The sword tip points directly at Chen Li's brow.

  "Undying, unrelenting!"

  A chilly female voice, like a thousand years of icy coldness, swept across the land, and the white clouds in the sky rushed to move rapidly!

  Chen Li's smile froze on his face, his expression filled with regret. He said somewhat dejectedly: "So that's how it is... What a pity!" As he spoke the latter half of the sentence, an intense killing intent burst forth from him like a tangible substance, and his long sword radiated a chilling aura.

  His empty left hand formed a sword-like shape with his fingers, raised above his head, and pointed lightly towards the front.

  "Boom!"

  A terrifying killing intent burst forth from everyone behind him, enemies swarming over like a plague of locusts!!

  "Your Highness!" Liu Cheng was greatly shocked, this time it's really over!!

  However, Zhou Yuxiao's expression didn't change in the slightest, which made Liu Cheng, who was on the verge of collapse, suddenly calm down.

  The sky suddenly darkened, wind and clouds surged, a faint wave of fluctuations, at this time it was transmitted into Liu Cheng's mind.

  His eyes lit up!

  "Roar!"

  A majestic and intimidating roar resounded through the sky!!

  Everyone's movements stiffened slightly, and they subconsciously looked up.

  The sky has turned dark!

  Endless darkness envelops everyone.

  Chen Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was shocked. What is that!

  Two bright and peculiar light clusters emerged from the dark clouds, like the eyes of a god scrutinizing the mortal world, cold and emotionless, suffocating.

  "Slap"

  A sturdy lightning bolt connected heaven and earth without warning, a purple glow illuminating the entire sky.

  Ink clouds surge forward, everyone knows, something is about to emerge!!

  The irresistible pressure is slowly pressing in.

  Black scales emerged from the ink cloud, shining with a metallic luster, giving people a refreshing coolness.

  Dragon is dragon!

  Chen Li suddenly came to his senses and found that the clothes on his back were already soaked through.

  Those two clusters of light just now were actually the orange-yellow Dragon Eyes!

  "Roar!"

  The dragon's roar suddenly rose, and a substantial killing intent crushed down, causing Chen Li's hand holding the long knife to tremble uncontrollably.

  The woman in the red dress behind him had her belt automatically untied, turning into a fiery red ribbon wrapped around her hand. The woman's fiery long skirt slipped down, blown by the wind, fluttering in the air extremely eye-catching. Under the long skirt, her explosive figure was exposed without any reserve, and the tight-fitting red combat suit made it impossible for anyone to ignore her.

  No one moved, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

  "Clang!"

  The sudden metallic collision sound brought everyone back to their senses, and the battle was triggered!

  Nangong Zuan's azure blade and the man's silver ring scraped out intense sparks!
