"No wonder you're the princess. You're really smart."
The two uninvited guests did not hide their killing intent at all as they blocked the only exit of the palace and blocked Xia Wanan's escape route.
"Can you tell me who sent you here?"
Years of imprisonment had already given Xia Wanan a strong heart. She was not frightened by the two killers and instead asked calmly.
At the same time, her brain was working rapidly as she recalled all the people she had been in contact with recently and analyzed who had the motive to kill her.
"Of course I can't tell you this."
The two killers denied, "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn't have."
Offending someone?
Xia Wanan was surprised. She thought that she had not offended anyone. She lived in seclusion in Changmen Palace every day to cultivate and only had contact with the servants. She had only met the other princes and princesses once at the birthday banquet of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty half a year ago.
"Don't talk nonsense with her."
The killer on the left said. Just now, the killer on the right was talking to Xia Wanan.
"The sooner we complete the task, the sooner we can go back and report."
The killer on the right said emotionally, "I've killed many people, but today is the first time I'm killing a princess. I really want to taste what a princess tastes like and see if she's different from the good girls in the brothel."
The killer on the left glanced at him and his gaze seemed to be saying, "If you want to die, go ahead."
The killer on the right immediately gave in and shrugged his shoulders. "There's no other way, Your Highness. I can only send you on your way as soon as possible, but don't worry, we'll give you a quick death."
Xia Wanan gripped the sword tightly without saying a word. At this point, it was meaningless to think about who the person who wanted to kill her was. She had to escape or kill the two people in front of her.
Seemingly having seen through Xia Wanan's resistance, the killer on the left humphed coldly and slashed his sword at her neck without saying a word.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, Xia Wanan deflected his attack, but the long sword in her hand was almost shaken off by the huge force. The other party was obviously a cultivator of the Weak Crown Realm.
"Die!"
The killer circulated his spiritual power and struck again with a powerful blow. Xia Wanan had no way to avoid it and could only resist with all her might. Her palm was suddenly shaken and blood flowed out.
"You seem to have some skills."
The other killer saw that Xia Wanan had blocked two swords in a row and immediately joined the battle with his companions.
Clang clang clang!
For a moment, the sound of metal colliding could be heard in the hall as the three figures attacked each other.
Although Xia Wan 'an's cultivation was not as good as the two assassins, she had practiced the Starmoon Swordplay for many years and had mastered many exquisite sword moves. At this moment, under the burst of her will to live, she displayed those exquisite sword moves to the point of perfection, neutralizing the two assassins' killer moves one by one.
But in the end, she was still at a disadvantage due to her lack of cultivation. Even though she had a sword move, she couldn't display its power. In less than ten moves, her palm was shaken to the point where it was drenched in blood.
"Her Highness is quite clingy."
One of the assassins mocked as he attacked, "You've really made a fool of yourself. If you have the ability, block this move of mine as well!"
As his voice fell, the assassin condensed his spirit power and slashed out with his strongest attack. Like Mount Tai, he swung his sword straight at Xia Wan 'an's head.
Xia Wan 'an was anxious and could only use her sword to block.
"Clang!"
However, she couldn't block it this time. The long sword in her hand was directly cut into two by the huge force.
Another assassin seized the opportunity and stabbed a sword into Xia Wan 'an's stomach.
"Chi!"
Blood splattered everywhere.
"Chi!"
The other assassin also stabbed a sword into Xia Wan 'an's chest.
Xia Wan 'an grunted in pain and exploded with power. She simply abandoned the broken long sword and grabbed a sharp blade in each hand. She didn't care about the blood flowing from her palm as she suddenly exerted force, not allowing them to pull out the blades.
Such a strong resistance even moved the two assassins. One of them said in a low voice, "Don't struggle on your deathbed. Let go. We'll give you a quick death. We won't torture you."
Xia Wan 'an didn't make a sound. She still tightly gripped the two sharp blades in her body. She didn't have any intention of letting go.
The assassin was angered by her and flew up to kick her. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't pull out the blades. Instead, Xia Wan 'an flew out with the two swords and fell heavily to the ground. Blood spread out under her body.
"You're just a piece of trash that isn't even in the Weak Crown Realm. What right do you have to fight us!"
The assassin walked in front of Xia Wan 'an and snorted coldly.
Naturally, he wouldn't tell Xia Wan 'an that he had been frightened by the power she had exploded with. However, everything was settled now. She was already meat on the chopping board. No matter how fierce she was, it was useless.
Xia Wan 'an did not wait for death. She struggled to climb up, but her life force was continuously flowing out from the two wounds on her body. Her hands and feet were limp and she had completely lost the ability to fight back.
She watched as the two assassins took out a dagger from their bosom and cut towards her neck. It seemed like they wanted to bring her head back to report to the person behind them.
Thus, her gaze instantly became filled with grief and indignation. She was unwilling to die like this. She had a very strong desire to live. Since she was young, she had never obtained true freedom for a moment. She had yet to make those who had bullied her and her mother pay the price.
"No matter who it is, can you save me!"
Xia Wan 'an wailed helplessly in her heart. No one knew how desperate she was right now.
"I really don't want to die. Those people who want me to die, I want to live well for them to see …"
Two lines of tears fell from her white face. The cold feeling of the dagger touching her neck came from her neck.
At this time, a nameless fog appeared in her tearful vision.
This fog appeared very suddenly. It rose from the depths of the ground without warning. In a moment, it had enveloped the entire Changmen Palace.
"Hell! Where did so much white fog come from?! "
Xia Wan 'an heard the horrified voices of the two assassins.
"Don't come over! Don't come over! Ah! "
Their voices suddenly became shrill, as if they were suffering some kind of inhumane torture.
Xia Wan 'an wanted to see what the two had experienced, but her vision was completely blocked by the white fog, and her spiritual consciousness gradually blurred. Her eyelids closed uncontrollably, and her soul fell straight to the end of her life.
… …
… …
It was like a dream. She didn't know how long she slept, but Xia Wan 'an slowly opened her eyes.
The endless white fog filled her vision. It seemed that this was a world completely composed of fog.
"Where … am I?"
Xia Wan 'an was shocked. The next moment, she found something even more shocking!
The two penetrating wounds on her lower abdomen and chest, as well as the bloody palm, had healed at this time. The vitality that had previously been lost had also been restored during her coma.
It was not only the wounds that had healed, but even the clothes that had been cut by the sharp blade had also recovered. Her whole body was clean, without the slightest bloodstain.
"Who saved me?"
