Ch 263: Lending A Helping Hand
Divine Capital.
Azure Dragon District.
An extremely lively marketplace, yet secretly many assassins were hidden.
“Ninth Prince Highness, come look here, today’s fresh fruit is newly arrived.”
“I will have someone send it to the mansion later.”
Their target was Yu Qingyang.
The bowstring was already drawn.
The hidden assassins were waiting for an order to act, to assassinate Yu Qingyang.
At this moment, Yu Qingyang seemed to have no awareness, simply walking with two guards in the Azure Dragon District.
The surrounding merchants saw Yu Qingyang and greeted him one after another.
Yu Qingyang was very popular with the people.
Therefore, even the small street vendors of the Divine Capital liked this amiable prince.
On the highest teahouse in the Azure Dragon District, a White-Clothed Man was holding a teacup and looking this way. His hawk-like gaze fixed on Yu Qingyang in the distance. The teacup was placed on the windowsill, as if it could fall and shatter on the ground at any moment.
Feeling the time was about right.
The White-Clothed Man’s hand directly let go, and the teacup fell from a height, smashing onto the street.
Crack!
The teacup shattered on the stone road.
Startling nearby passersby, and at that moment, along with the falling teacup, several arrows flew from all directions!
Swish swish swish!
The target was Yu Qingyang in the crowd.
“Assassin!”
Yu Qingyang’s guards exclaimed, and immediately the two pulled out hidden weapons, throwing them out with a wave of their hands!
The hidden weapons were like scattered flowers, but if one looked closely, they would find a pattern in their trajectory.
The sound of collision in mid-air came.
The three arrows aimed at Yu Qingyang were all deflected by the hidden weapons.
“Are they from the Tang Sect?”
The few people who shot the arrows were greatly surprised. Yu Qingyang’s two guards were Tang Sect experts.
They had originally thought they were ordinary guards.
But time did not give them much thought. At this moment, all the Yunhuang experts in ambush rushed out, drawing their blades and attacking Yu Qingyang.
“Attack!”
Yu Qingyang calmly shouted.
The many Yunhuang experts were stunned by Yu Qingyang’s words. Who was he speaking to?
As soon as the words fell, the street vendors, even the farrier next door, and even the beggar by the roadside suddenly stood up, tearing off their clothes!
Revealing the official uniforms underneath!
They were the Imperial City Golden City Guard!
“Kill!”
The Golden City Guard bravely charged forward, engaging the Yunhuang people in battle.
The two Tang Sect Disciples guarding Yu Qingyang did not move; they protected Yu Qingyang’s safety.
The entire street was in chaos.
The fighting was fierce.
However, the Yunhuang people could only fight and retreat. In the Divine Capital, fighting the Golden City Guard was suicidal.
From all directions, the Golden City Guard swarmed in, completely surrounding the Yunhuang people.
Stab stab!
Several Yunhuang experts struggled in vain, but were pierced on the spot by the Golden City Guard’s long spears!
“Fight them to the death!”
Seeing that there was little hope, the Yunhuang experts also fought fiercely, wanting to fight the Golden City Guard to the death.
But faced with the numerous Golden City Guard, their outcome of stubborn resistance was only death!
The White-Clothed Man on the teahouse saw this and his face changed drastically.
He did not expect Yu Qingyang to have deployed so many Golden City Guard in the Azure Dragon District.
It turned out he had discovered it long ago.
He had set a trap here to bait them.
He stood up and was about to leave.
“There’s another one above!”
At that moment, someone exclaimed.
Seeing that he had been discovered, the White-Clothed Man quickly left.
“Don’t let him escape!”
A Golden City Guard commander stepped onto the rooftop and, using his lightness skill, chased to the top of the teahouse in a few steps.
His long spear was like a dragon emerging from the sea, killing towards the White-Clothed Man!
The powerful True Qi had clearly reached the Profound Connection Realm!
Every move contained profound mystery.
“Hmph!”
Feeling the danger behind him, the White-Clothed Man drew his long sword and fought the Golden City Guard commander.
His sword momentum was unrestrained, equally powerful and surging. With the same Profound Connection Realm cultivation, the two were evenly matched for a time.
In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of moves. The intertwining of sword Qi and spear light almost overturned the teahouse.
“Above!”
The Golden City Guard below were about to attack.
The White-Clothed Man knew that if he did not leave, he would soon be unable to escape.
But currently entangled by the Golden City Guard commander, he could not escape.
He could only desperately fight.
Mysterious sword techniques poured forth, but were parried by the Golden City Guard commander’s every move.
His spear technique was domineering and dragon-like; a moment of carelessness would lead to death.
However, at this critical moment, a figure suddenly descended from the sky.
With a loud crash, the rooftop of the teahouse shattered, the figure falling headfirst, a palm strike striking towards the Golden City Guard commander!
“Hmph!”
The Golden City Guard commander snorted angrily, meeting the strike with a palm of his own.
“Bang!”
Vast True Qi poured down, the power of this palm strike was extremely strong, the floor under the Golden City Guard commander’s feet cracked. But even more shocking to the Golden City Guard commander was the chilling cold that permeated the palm strike.
His palm instantly turned to ice, the ice spreading from his wrist to his arm.
“Great Celestial Phenomenon Art!”
The Golden City Guard commander was astonished.
He quickly dispelled his True Qi and retreated several steps.
Looking at his already frozen arm, he used his True Qi to forcefully shatter the ice.
But when he looked up to find the person, he found that the Masked Person had already jumped from the building with the White-Clothed Man and escaped.
“Chase!”
The Golden City Guard commander gave an order, and the Golden City Guard below chased after them.
“Your Highness, one escaped.” A Golden City Guard reported at this time.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Yu Qingyang waved his hand.
Yunhuang had suffered heavy losses this time, especially with Chu Shenqiao dead, there was nothing to fear from Yunhuang.
Dusk approached.
The Divine Capital was still brightly lit.
There were still many Golden City Guard on the streets, and the commoners in the city had also heard that a fugitive had escaped, which is why the Golden City Guard were searching for him.
They did not dare to go out.
Afraid of being affected.
In a dilapidated house in the west of the city, two figures were hiding in the woodshed. The owner of the house was a gambler who had gone out to gamble and probably would not return for the night.
The White-Clothed Man saw that no one was following, and he was relieved.
He looked at the Masked Person, his expression somewhat conflicted, and said, “Young Master, is that you?”
When the Masked Person had made his move, he had recognized the Great Celestial Phenomenon Art.
There were very few people in the world who could use it.
He guessed that this person should be Chu Xinghe.
