Chapter 143 Royal Guard
Under the shadow of the helmet, Song Changming looked around.
In addition to the most powerful Xiong Danshan, there are also a group of extremely powerful royal guards in the courtyard. There are quite a few of them. These are all difficult opponents.
It was foreseeable that tonight's assassination mission would not be easy. That was thanks to Li Yan's use of the authority of the county guard to bring them into the mansion and contain many of the defense forces in the mansion.
This made the assassination possible.
On their side, Lu Zheng invited a total of four martial arts masters, including Song Changming, who were all warriors of the Eighth Realm!
In addition, there are several martial arts masters under his command who were assigned by Gu Wenhui, one extremely powerful person, and two eighth level warriors.
A total of seven people were the main force in this operation.
Regardless of the process tonight, as long as the young prince is successfully assassinated, the seven of them will all get the martial art.
And whoever gets the little prince’s head in the end will get the extra reward.
"Everyone, I'm going to explore the road first!" Seeing that they had already been attacked, one of the martial arts masters did not want to join forces to deal with Xiong Danshan, but chose to go straight to the back room where the young prince was.
He said he was exploring the road, but it was clear that he was here to steal people.
His lightness skill was quite impressive, and he was so fast that he seemed to blend into the dark night as a ghost, drifting over in a blink of an eye and approaching the back room.
Then, what awaited were many hidden weapon darts, shot from the hands of the royal guards from all directions.
The martial artist almost fell into the trap and had no choice but to retreat.
However, the royal guards had already surrounded him, as if a big net had covered this somewhat radical master of martial arts.
These royal guards have been trained by the royal family since they were young. They are all masters in martial arts, and they have a tacit understanding when working together.
In just a moment, the surrounded martial artist was put in danger.
After finally escaping back, his body was covered in blood and wounded.
"You've underestimated these guards," he said angrily, feeling ashamed.
But at this time, the royal guards had already looked cold and stern, and came to kill them all.
Xiong Danshan fought against the only extreme powerhouse among them.
This was also the reason why Gu Wenhui sent him here. He knew Xiong Danshan's strength.
Only by containing the powerful Xiong Danshan can this assassination operation have a chance to succeed.
Song Changming pulled out his dragon-patterned sword, glanced at the group of innocent women who had been arrested nearby, and said, "Hurry up and find a corner to hide, so as not to be affected."
The women were panicking, not knowing what to do, when they suddenly heard Song Changming's voice, they realized what they were doing and hurriedly found a place to hide.
At this time, the group of royal guards dispersed in groups of four or five, besieging each of them and preventing them from approaching the back room where the young prince was.
All they had to do was hold off until the troops in the city arrived, and the assassination mission that Song Changming participated in would end in failure.
Therefore, for Song Changming and others, they naturally had to race against time and could not delay.
The wind was blowing in the face, and there were also five royal guards assigned to Song Changming's side. Each of them used light body skills, as if gliding at low altitude, to encircle and suppress Song Changming.
Song Changming didn't feel any timidity in his heart. He waved his sword and took the initiative to meet him.
Royal guards, as the name suggests, are royal guards who protect the royal bloodline.
Even though the standards of these royal guards are not as good as those around the fifth prince, their martial arts cultivation has reached at least the sixth level, and many have reached the seventh or even eighth level!
If these were placed in the arena, they would all be masters who could make a name for themselves.
But in the palace, he is only one of the unknown members of the royal guard.
On weekdays, the sense of existence is very low, but when it comes to taking action, I only feel extremely powerful.
Song Changming was as light as a swallow and flew several meters with one step. Before these royal guards could form an encirclement and suppression force, he first fought with one of them.
The long knife slashed out.
Flying swallow style, hundreds of birds throw themselves into the forest!
The sword was slashed out, and the birds chirped loudly.
The peak sword power crashed down in an instant, causing the royal guard's complexion to change drastically.
Facing such an astonishing sword power, he was stunned and the sword movements he performed were deformed.
The two swords struck each other, and with a splash of blood splashing out like water, the two bodies passed each other.
The royal guard fell to the ground without even making a sound, making no sound.
At its heart, the armor shattered, and a clearly visible knife edge pierced its heart, killing it directly.
This person had the strength of the seventh realm of physical training, but when faced with Song Changming's surprise attack, they only fought for one round, and not only lost, but also lost their lives.
This was also the first drop of blood that broke out in this night attack mission.
Song Changming's powerful strength also made the other royal guards feel chilly in their hearts. "Be careful!"
The remaining four royal guards separated themselves from each other and continued to try to surround Song Changming, launching another multi-person siege.
This time, they were more cautious, but to no avail.
Song Changming's sword skills were perfect, with no flaws to be found. Even if he was one against four, he still seemed to be able to do it with ease!
He chopped down another royal guard with one strike. Sensing the fierce sword winds coming from three directions, he stepped forward with top-notch martial arts skills and moved to dodge. He turned around and slashed away another royal guard with another strike.
A sideways kick with a split-mountain leg came first, directly kicking the third royal guard more than ten meters away. The huge force filled his body, causing him to vomit blood.
Now, he has inherited Liu Dingsheng's boxing and kicking skills, and has been able to fit well with his sword skills and exert greater power.
Every move he makes is full of moves, making it hard for people to guard against.
Facing the last royal guard, when the two swords were entangled, he used more exquisite sword skills to forcefully remove the long sword from the opponent's hand.
The dragon-marked sword was swung to one side, and the long sword that was removed flew out.
The guard, who had just been kicked away by Song Changming more than ten meters away, was just about to get up when a flying knife stabbed his chest, and he lay back down straight as if he had been shot.
Seeing the dead and injured royal guards everywhere, Song Changming did not delay and went straight to the back room where the young prince was.
As for the other accomplices who had yet to break out of the encirclement, he didn't even look at them.
Under Gu Wenhui's call, they have a cooperative relationship as well as a competitive relationship.
If he really wants to help, wait until he kills the hated young prince and completes the task.
"Stop him!!" someone shouted in shock.
But Song Changming was extremely fast, using his light body technique, he reached the outside of the house in a few steps.
The remaining guards who were guarding him immediately threw hidden weapon darts at him.
Song Changming had been on guard for a long time, and his sword skills and light body skills prevented these hidden weapons from hurting him at all.
In the room, on a huge bed, several half-dressed women were huddled, shivering in fear.
Chu Huai rarely turned a blind eye to the beauty on the bed, and only paced back and forth in the room irritably. Listening to the fierce and chaotic fighting outside, his heart became more and more panicked.
"Why hasn't it been settled yet? Why hasn't it ended yet?"
Chu Huai knew very well that the people outside the house were here to kill him.
Now is the moment when his life is at stake!
“Damn Li Yan, you dare to betray me and my father, I must make you look good!”
"Shut up! Whoever cries again, I will kill first!" He roared at the favored woman on the bed, venting the tension in his heart.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang and the door was chopped into pieces from the outside.
This movement also completely panicked Chu Huai, and he saw Song Changming walking in with blood all over his body and holding a knife.
At its feet were a series of corpses of royal guards!
"You! You!" Chu Huai was so frightened that he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Song Changming also instantly locked onto his mission target and went straight to him without hesitation.
That 500-year-old wild ginseng treasure is about to be obtained!
“You dare!”
With an angry roar, Xiong Danshan, the man behind him, could no longer care about anything else and ran straight towards him.
Song Changming ignored the threat approaching quickly from behind and slashed at Chu Huai's head.
"Save me!" Chu Huai was so frightened that he crawled under the bed as if instinctively.
The speed of movement is so swift that it is like a sudden burst of potential between life and death.
At this time, he could no longer care about the image of the royal family, as long as he could save his life, that was the most important thing at the moment.
Song Changming's attack failed and he had to turn around to deal with Xiong Danshan who rushed in.
Xiong Danshan struck at the head with his sword, and Song Changming met him with his sword.
Hearing a sharp and harsh collision of fine iron, Xiong Danshan originally thought that with his strength, he should be able to cut Song Changming in two with his sword.
But both sides have amazing brute strength!
The two swords clashed with each other with great energy and sparks of fire. However, Xiong Danshan failed to cut down this sword!
The two of them were so strong that they were evenly matched in their first fight.
