Chapter 143 Royal Guard
Under the shadow of the helmet, Song Changming looked around.
In addition to the most powerful Xiong Dangshan, there are also a group of extremely powerful royal guards in the courtyard. There are many of them, and they are all difficult opponents.
It can be foreseen that the assassination mission tonight is not easy. It is thanks to Li Yan's use of the power of the county governor to bring them into the mansion and tie up a lot of the mansion's defense forces.
This makes the assassination feasible.
On their side, Lu Zheng invited a total of four martial arts masters including Song Changming, all of whom are warriors of the eighth realm!
In addition, Gu Wenhui sent several martial arts masters under his command, one extreme realm strongman, and two eighth realm warriors.
A total of seven people, as the main force of this operation.
No matter what the process is tonight, as long as the little prince is successfully assassinated, the seven of them can get the martial arts secrets.
And whoever gets the little prince's head in the end will get the extra reward.
"Everyone, I'll go explore the way first!" Seeing that the fight had already started, one of the martial arts masters did not think about joining forces to deal with Xiong Dangshan, but chose to go straight to the inner room where the young prince was.
He said he was exploring the way, but it was obvious that he was going to grab the head.
His light body skills were quite amazing, and his speed was so fast that he seemed to be a ghost blending into the night. In a blink of an eye, he floated to the inner room.
Then, many hidden weapons and darts were shot from the hands of the royal guards from all directions.
The martial arts master was almost hit and had to retreat.
However, the royal guards had already surrounded him, like a big net covering the martial arts master who was acting a little radical.
These royal guards have been cultivated by the royal family since childhood. They are all masters in martial arts, and they cooperate with each other tacitly.
In a moment, the martial arts master who was surrounded was in danger.
He finally escaped back, his body was already stained with blood and wounded.
"I underestimated these guards," he said angrily, feeling ashamed.
At this time, the royal guards had already looked stern and rushed towards them.
Xiong Dangshan fought with the only extreme strongman among them.
This was also the purpose of Gu Wenhui sending him here, he knew Xiong Dangshan's strength.
Only by restraining the powerful Xiong Dangshan could the assassination have a chance to succeed.
Song Changming drew out his dragon-patterned knife, glanced at the group of innocent women who were captured nearby, and said, "Hurry up and hide in a corner to avoid being affected."
The women were panicking and didn't know what to do. Suddenly they heard Song Changming's voice, and then they reacted and hurriedly found a place to hide.
At this time, the group of royal guards scattered in groups of four or five, besieging each of them, preventing them from approaching the inner room where the little prince was.
They just need to delay until the city army arrives, and the assassination mission that Song Changming is involved in will end in failure.
Therefore, for Song Changming and his team, they naturally have to race against time and not delay.
There was a sound of wind blowing in front of them. There were also five royal guards assigned to Song Changming's side. Each of them performed light body skills, as if gliding at low altitude, and came to encircle Song Changming.
Song Changming was not afraid at all. He waved his sword and took the initiative to meet him.
Royal guards, as the name suggests, are the royal guards who protect the royal bloodline.
Even though the specifications of this batch of royal guards are not as good as those around the fifth prince, their martial arts cultivation has reached at least the sixth realm, and many have reached the seventh realm, or even the eighth realm!
If they were placed in the martial arts world, they would all be masters who could make a name for themselves.
But in the palace, they are just one of the unknown members of the royal guards.
On weekdays, their presence is extremely low. When they really start fighting, they only feel that they are all very powerful.
Song Changming was as light as a swallow, and he flew several meters in one step. Before the royal guards formed a siege, he first fought with one of them.
The long sword slashed out.
Flying swallow style, hundreds of birds flew into the forest!
With one sword slash, the birds sang loudly.
The peak sword force, crushed down in an instant, making the royal guard's face change drastically.
Facing such an amazing sword force, he was suppressed and the sword style he used was deformed.
The two swords hit each other, accompanied by a touch of blood splashing like water, and the two figures crossed each other.
The royal guard fell to the ground without a groan, and there was no sound.
At his heart, the armor plate was broken, and a clearly visible sword cut pierced his heart, killing him directly.
This person had the strength of the seventh realm of body refining, but facing Song Changming's surprise attack, he only fought one round, not only defeated but also lost his life directly.
This was also the first drop of blood that broke out in this night raid mission.
Song Changming's powerful strength also made the other royal guards feel cold.
"Be careful!"
The remaining four royal guards stood in four corners and continued to try to besiege Song Changming, and carried out another multi-person encirclement.
This time, they were more cautious, but in the end it was useless.
Song Changming's sword skills were perfect, and there was no flaw. Even if he was one against four, he seemed to be at ease!
He chopped down another royal guard with a sword, and felt the sharp sword wind coming from the other three directions. He stepped on the top martial arts and moved around. He turned around and chopped off another royal guard with a sword.
He kicked out with a mountain-splitting kick, and kicked the third royal guard more than ten meters away. The huge force filled his body and made him spit blood.
Now, he has inherited Liu Dingsheng's boxing and kicking skills, which can be well matched with his sword skills, exerting a stronger power.
Every move he makes is a move, which makes people unable to defend.
Facing the last royal guard, when the two swords intersected and entangled, he used more exquisite sword skills to forcibly remove the long sword from the opponent's hand.
The dragon-patterned sword was swung to one side, and the removed long sword flew out.
The guard who was kicked more than ten meters away by Song Changming had just tried to stand up when he was stabbed in the chest by the flying sword. He lay back straight as if he was shot.
Looking at the dead and injured royal guards on the ground, Song Changming did not delay and went straight to the inner room where the little prince was.
As for the other accomplices who had not yet broken out of the siege, he did not even look at them.
Under Gu Wenhui's call, they were both cooperative and competitive.
If you really want to help, wait until he kills the abominable little prince and completes the mission.
"Stop him!!" someone shouted in surprise.
But Song Changming was extremely fast. He used his light body skills and reached the outside of the house in a few steps.
The remaining guards immediately threw hidden weapons and darts at him.
Song Changming had been prepared. His sword skills combined with his light body skills prevented these hidden weapons from hurting him at all.
In the room, on a huge bed, several half-dressed women were curled up, trembling with fear.
Chu Huai rarely turned a blind eye to the beauty on the bed. He just paced back and forth in the room in agitation, listening to the fierce and chaotic fighting outside, and 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 will make you pay!"
"Shut up! Whoever cries again, I will kill him first!" He roared at the woman who was originally favored on the bed, venting his nervousness.
Suddenly, the door of the room was chopped apart from the outside with a loud noise.
This movement also made Chu Huai completely panic, and he saw Song Changming came in with a knife covered in blood.
At his feet, there was a series of corpses of royal guards!
"You! You!" Chu Huai was so scared that he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Song Changming also instantly locked on to his mission target and ran straight to him without hesitation.
The 500-year-old mountain ginseng treasure is about to be obtained!
"You dare!"
With a roar of boiling anger, the Xiong Dangshan behind him could no longer care about anything else and ran straight to him.
Song Changming ignored the rapidly approaching threat behind him and slashed at Chu Huai's head with a knife.
"Save me!" Chu Huai was so frightened that he rolled under the bed as if by instinct.
His movements were so fast that it seemed 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. The most important thing at the moment was to save his life.
Song Changming's knife failed, so he had to turn around to deal with Xiong Dangshan who rushed in.
Xiong Dangshan chopped him on the head, and Song Changming met him with a knife.
There was a sharp and piercing sound of fine iron colliding. Xiong Dangshan thought that with his strength, he should be able to split Song Changming's body in two, including the man and the knife.
But both sides had amazing brute force!
The two swords clashed, and the energy overflowed, sparks flew, but Xiong Dangshan was unable to chop it down with this knife!
The two men's brute force was evenly matched in their first contest.
