The whole person trembled uncontrollably with rage.
Would it be another failure?
The plan was so meticulous, and a net was cast.
And now it was going to be ruined by a group of wild beasts?
Just then, a crisp "Mother!" echoed.
"Mother! We're here! I want to see who dares to bully our mother!"
Yun Xiaojing, riding on a leopard, arrived swiftly.
He appeared before Yun Shu like a shadow.
He also appeared before Princess Ningde, whose eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Yun Xiaojing on the leopard.
A mere child of a few years, yet sitting steadily on a leopard. The leopard was clearly wild and not easily subdued by humans, but now it was docile, allowing Yun Xiaojing to ride it.
"Who is this strange auntie? Are you trying to assassinate my mother?" Yun Xiaojing directly addressed Princess Ningde.
Despite his young age, the child exuded an undeniable presence.
His words were filled with concern for his mother.
"Amazing! You have your father's spirit!" Xie Jin leaped to Yun Xiaojing's side. Although a pack of beasts guarded Yun Xiaojing, he still feared for the child's safety. The Night King's son was not to be harmed by these people.
Yun Xiaojing tilted his chin, glaring fiercely at Princess Ningde.
Princess Ningde frowned. Did this mere sprout dare to question her?
A venomous snake lunged towards Princess Ningde.
Princess Ningde reacted swiftly, her hand moving like lightning. The snake's head was severed from its body, and its foul-smelling blood splattered.
"Xiaojing, come to Mother," Yun Shu said softly.
When she saw the pack of beasts appear, Yun Shu knew she had made the right gamble, and Princess Ningde would not succeed today.
Yun Xiaojing obediently ran to Yun Shu. "Mother!"
He had been so scared earlier, afraid he would never see his mother again, afraid she would be hurt.
That strange auntie was so hateful!
How dare she scheme against Yun Xiaojing's mother!
Fortunately, Xiao Li had heard that Mother was in danger!
Fortunately, they had arrived in time!
At that moment, Jing Heng and Qiu Lu, who had also rushed over, joined the fray.
They were accompanied by several dark guards.
Jing Heng was always brutal in combat, and upon seeing the bloodstains on his master, his eyes turned red. He charged at the assassins from Sha Gong, shouting, "You are seeking death!"
"How dare you! You dare to assassinate our princess consort!" Qiu Lu roared, a wave of fear washing over him. If the princess consort were to perish today, he would have no face to meet the King and could only atone with his own death!
Hateful!
He glared at Princess Ningde, who was shielded by layers of assassins from Sha Gong, gritting his teeth. "You are seeking death!"
The assassins of Sha Gong were known for their skill and ruthlessness, but when they saw Jing Heng charging at them, they were stunned by the thick, demonic killing intent emanating from him.
His attacks were also incredibly fierce!
He didn't just use swords and blades.
His bare hands were weapons too!
He clawed directly at people's hearts!
His bloodthirsty demeanor was like a grim reaper from hell, leaving devastation wherever he went!
Xie Jin swallowed hard, unnerved by Jing Heng's frenzied state. "This Jing Heng..."
He had underestimated Jing Heng before, thinking that despite his cold demeanor and slightly unapproachable nature, he would make a decent friend.
Who would have thought Jing Heng was so wild!
Look at Qiu Lu, it seemed proximity to the virtuous had rubbed off on him, and he had become somewhat wild as well!
The two lunatics together had corrupted the dark guards of Zhan Tianye's faction.
They had all turned into a pack of madmen!
With this group of madmen appearing out of nowhere, along with the venomous snakes crawling on the ground and the tigers and lions capable of devouring a person whole, the situation instantly reversed.
The assassins from Sha Gong were in for a tough time.
They were in the capital of Xi Xia, their own territory, yet they were being pushed back on their home turf.
The assassins of Sha Gong and Princess Ningde found it hard to accept this turn of events. Were they truly at a disadvantage?
They all looked towards Princess Ningde.
Princess Ningde's eyes were bloodshot, her face pale green. Her hands, hanging by her sides, clenched into fists, her teeth biting into her red lips, drawing a trickle of blood. The metallic taste in her mouth intensified as she gritted out, "Retreat."
With those words,
Their operation from Sha Gong was destined to be a complete failure today.
They had the advantage, yet they were defeated!
The assassins were all resentful. Sha Gong had never suffered such a humiliating defeat, and it was in front of their Palace Master! They had lost! Utterly hateful! xxs1
If news of today's events spread, it would be a disgrace to Sha Gong!
"We don't know the outcome until the very end. Palace Master, we can fight to the last man to complete the mission!" one assassin's fighting spirit was ignited.
The more difficult the opponent, the more they should engage head-on!
Princess Ningde glanced at the assassin. "There are no more opportunities to strike today. Let's go."
She was even more unwilling than they were.
Even more unwilling to admit it.
But if they lingered any longer, Zhan Tianye might arrive!
Looking at the current situation, it had become a one-sided rout. Yun Shu's dark guards had arrived in considerable numbers, and combined with the venomous snakes and beasts that inexplicably obeyed commands, they were at a disadvantage today.
They had gone from the aggressor to the defender!
Lingering would serve no purpose.
"Want to leave?" Jing Heng narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Princess Ningde as if she were already dead.
He hadn't killed enough yet!
It had been so long since he had gone on a killing spree!
They dared to bully his master and just walk away? Who gave them permission? Had they asked if he agreed? He certainly hadn't!
He unleashed a barrage of sword strikes upon the Sha Gong assassins.
Qiu Lu's eyes also turned red. "Today, I will make you understand that our Night King's consort is not someone anyone can assassinate!"
The two, leading a group of dark guards, relentlessly pursued Princess Ningde and the Sha Gong assassins.
They were no longer free to retreat.
Jing Heng and Qiu Lu had both become madmen, disregarding all consequences!
Yun Xiaojing also quietly issued a command to the beasts that obeyed him, "Continue!"
He wanted the bad guys to pay a heavy price!
He wanted them to remember the consequences of assassinating his mother today!
Under such overwhelming momentum, Princess Ningde's face darkened.
How arrogant!
"I thought my life was over today. It seems I am destined to live! Hahaha! Hey! Princess Ningde, do you still want your tongue? Why don't you come over now and let me kiss you a couple of times, and maybe I'll let you taste my tongue, fulfilling your wish, okay?" Xie Jin touched his lips, his eyes filled with wicked amusement and disdain as he looked at Princess Ningde.
