Xiahou Qing did not hesitate as he rushed over to the source of the sound. Just as he was about to open the wet white cloth, a blade suddenly came out from under the white cloth and fiercely stabbed at Xiahou Qing's heart.
"Trap! Be careful young master! "
Xia Hou Qing couldn't see. Fortunately, his many years of battle instincts helped him subconsciously move to the side to dodge. The tip of the knife left a bloody wound on his chest. He sent a backhanded palm strike over, striking that person down and causing him to spit out blood.
Cai Bin coldly smiled as she moved back.
The fifth assassination round officially began when the sun rose and dawn arrived. Jiu Si and the others immediately went forward. She Yan fought while cursing, "Fuck, the dignified empress is actually doing this kind of despicable thing, isn't she afraid of being laughed at by the world! Pei! "
Contrary to their delicate appearance, these female assassins were extremely ruthless. Their eyes were red, and their faces were ferocious as they rushed towards them with swords and sabers. In all fairness, their martial arts were not very strong. At most, they could be considered to be above average. If Jiu Si and the others were not injured, these people would not even be enough. But the strange thing was that these people were like emotionless wooden puppets, going all out to cut off their heads.
Even if Heaven's Inquisition cut off the tendons in their right hands and took away their weapons, they quickly stood up from the ground and switched to their left hands to continue attacking. If their hands were crippled, they would use their bodies to attack and their legs to kick. It was like they did not know what pain was. As long as they had a single breath left, even if they used their teeth, they would still want to bite off a piece of flesh from their bodies.
She Yan had never killed a woman before, but he had no choice today. He had personally broken a maid's wrist, but she had grabbed his shoulder, so She Yan had no choice but to use a palm to shatter the other side's heart. But even like this, the half dead maid spat out blood as she struggled to stand up from the ground. She staggered as she charged at She Yan, letting out a beast-like roar from her mouth.
She Yan's entire body was filled with fear as he retreated in shock. He said in a frightened voice, "What is going on? Why can't they feel any pain? How is this a person, this is simply a zombie that crawled out of hell! "
Heaven's Inquisition said while fighting, "Do you remember when we fought the War Hounds in the past, the War Hounds released a group of human slaves? They were exactly the same as this group of people. They must have been drugged and made into a group of fearless puppets. Be careful! As long as they are still alive, they will counterattack! "
Back then, they had fought bitterly against those human slaves. Now, they were being attacked from both sides. A murderous puppet that didn't know pain and fear was even more difficult to deal with than five or ten ordinary assassins. A female Assassin sacrificed her own life to stab a bloody hole in Heaven's Inquisition's back. Heaven's Inquisition's injuries were too severe, and he fell to the ground exhausted. Xiahou Qing stood up to fill in the gap. Together with Jiusi and She Yan, they protected Tianwen in the center.
This battle was more bloody than any of the previous battles. Broken flesh and broken limbs were scattered all over the ground. In the end, not a single corpse was left intact. The young girls' bodies were broken into pieces and rolled on the ground, falling into the dark red muddy water. No one could bear to look at it a second time.
Xiahou Qing used his paper fan as a blade, personally taking care of the final Assassin. He put away his fan with a pale face as he leaned against the red pillar to rest.
"Great, it's finally over." She Yan was lying on the ground in exhaustion, not being able to move a single finger.
"He, he, wonderful, truly wonderful." A sudden clap came from outside the hall, accompanied by a graceful and ear-piercing laughter. She walked out from the direction of the rising sun, wearing a bright yellow robe. Her face was shrouded in shadows, so who else could it be other than Empress Cao.
"This queen has heard that Xiahou's successor is heroic and has unparalleled martial arts. You are a young talent rarely seen in a hundred years, but it's a pity I haven't had the chance to witness it. Seeing it with my own eyes today, it really is worthy of your reputation. Very good, very good. "
Hearing this ear-piercing voice, Xiahou Qing had a murderous look on his face. He frowned in disgust and threw the dirty paper fan into the rain, "Your Majesty, our bet last night has been completed. I am still alive. Now the sun is rising from the east and the sky is bright. It's time for Your Majesty to fulfill your promise and return Xiao Shu to me."
Empress Cao said lightly, "This queen is the Empress of the Central Palace and the Mother of the Nation. There is no reason for me to break my promise. Come, send Xiahou's successor out of the palace. "
Xiahou Qing's face was even angrier. Obviously, he had reached the limit of his patience, "I said, return Xiao Shu to me."
"What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?" After being offended, Empress Cao didn't get angry. Instead, she said in surprise, "I have already sent someone to return Ning Shu to you."
Xiahou Qing's heartstrings suddenly trembled. Before he had time to sort it out, he heard Empress Cao showing the most vicious and gloomy smile in the world. She whispered, "Isn't the one you just killed?"
