Chapter 165: Injured in the House
"presumptuous!"
"Be bold!"
……
As Shu He's palm fell, angry shouts suddenly rang out. The guards in the courtyard had faces filled with anger and murderous intent, and they all drew their swords and rushed towards Shu He.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up in the yard, and countless invisible air currents shook the flower pots and decorations in the yard, as well as the lanterns hanging under the eaves.
These are all elite soldiers from the palace, guards assigned by the emperor himself to the eldest princess. Their skills and combat capabilities are extraordinary.
Shu He looked at the knife tips pointing straight at her, her face remained calm. She tapped her toes lightly and her whole body floated backwards, widening the distance between her and the guards.
When the people who were still standing outside the palace saw this scene, their eyes became tense and anxious, and some even felt their blood boiling!
A woman could actually fight against the imperial family's masters! Isn't this too amazing?
At this time, a man holding a sword passed by and stopped when he saw the commotion. However, the more he watched, the more frightened he became.
That woman looked harmless, but the fighting power and pressure she exuded made people dare not underestimate her.
"I didn't expect that this ordinary-looking woman could actually be so powerful in martial arts! Could it be that she's one of the legendary figures on the Earth, Cloud, and Sky Three Nights List?"
Someone who didn't understand what was going on heard this and asked curiously, "Sir, what is the Three Nights List?"
It was difficult for these ordinary people to live a good life, let alone the affairs of the Jianghu in the inland world of Tianqi. Hearing this novel name at this time, he was also very curious.
The sword-wielding man glanced at the person who asked him the question. Although his face was full of disdain and arrogance, he still explained, "That's the ranking of martial arts scores in the martial arts world."
"The Dixiao Ranking, Yunxiao Ranking, and Tianxiao Ranking represent the top three hundred warriors with the highest martial arts skills in the Tianqi Jianghu. Even those on the Dixiao Ranking can be considered dominant figures! The man who was knocked flying and lying on the ground is probably between ninety and one hundred on the Dixiao Ranking."
Some people were amazed after hearing this, "If someone on the Dixiao list is so powerful, then how powerful must those on the Yunxiao list, and even above that, the Tianxiao list, be?"
The man holding the sword snorted and thought to himself, after all, he is someone that ordinary people like you can never reach!
He didn't say this directly, but continued, "Almost everyone on the Yunxiao Ranking is a master from our Tianqi Nation, and most of them hold important positions in the royal family or the military!"
"As for the Tianxiao Ranking, apart from the top ten, they are all top masters of our Tianqi Nation, most of whom are leaders of major forces! They are worshipped and admired by thousands of people!"
"Wow!"
"so amazing!"
These people had no idea about the existence of that thing. They just thought it was very powerful and exclaimed in admiration.
The sword-wielding man was obviously somewhat annoyed by their lack of vocabulary and could only offer such compliments.
"By the way, sir, why did you say 'except the top ten'?"
Seeing someone ask this, the man showed a rare expression of praise on his face, "That's a good question!"
The person being praised felt a little confused, but still very happy, and even wondered if he also had the talent to make it in the world?
The sword-wielding man's face showed fanatical admiration as he said, "Because those top ten figures are all top-notch masters in the world, far surpassing ordinary top-tier masters. They can defeat thousands of enemies with just a wave of their hands. They are like gods!"
"Wow! What kind of person is that?" Some people were so excited that they yearned for it.
"Have you heard of the God of War, King Dongli?" The man smiled in admiration, a hint of pride on his face. "That's someone in the top ten of the Tianxiao Ranking. He's the one who, single-handedly, can capture the enemy leader amidst a vast army and escape unscathed!"
"This time, I heard that King Dongli was in Beisha City, so I came all the way from Jiangnan. I hope to have the honor of meeting King Dongli!"
Speaking of King Dongli, everyone probably has a vague idea about the people on the Tianxiao List. After all, the God of War King Dongli is a brave man known throughout the world.
"Look! That woman can actually fight so many great masters on equal terms!"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
Looking at the woman who handled herself so well among the guards, his face was filled with surprise and admiration.
"I originally thought she was an ignorant woman who didn't know her place, but I didn't expect that we were the ignorant ones!"
Someone sighed and looked at the woman nervously. Somehow, they didn't want her to lose.
The man holding the sword shook his head, noticing something unusual.
"That woman, while formidable, lacks experience in the face of so many experts. Her moves are limited, and while they are lethal, they lack the staying power to injure those people due to the interference from so many people. I'm afraid she's doomed to fail!"
Everyone looked at him in confusion, suspicion on their faces. To them, the woman was clearly the more powerful one! How could she lose?
Shu He's expression was stern. Facing the siege of so many people, she was indeed a little exhausted. If it weren't for her unique body movements and the blessing of internal strength, she would have been beaten to the point of being unable to fight back!
Zhu Zifeng, who was standing aside, looked at the woman who was walking among the guards and holding her own for a long time, and the sinister look on his face became even more intense.
Although she didn't know martial arts, she was familiar with the skills of Luqiao Ziying beside her.
Last time, she could only barely fight Luqiao and Ziying to a draw, but now these guards were all elite soldiers she transferred from the eldest princess. Even if Luqiao and Ziying joined forces, they were no match for them.
But this woman can actually fight against them on equal terms!
Is she a demon? How did her martial arts improve so rapidly?!
However, just as she finished exclaiming, she saw a guard's long sword cut the woman's left shoulder.
Shu He frowned as a sharp pain hit her, sweat covering her forehead. She unleashed her inner strength, kicking the guard who had injured her away, before landing on the threshold behind her.
Blood flowed from her arm and fell onto her slender fingertips, which were like blooming red plum blossoms on the ground.
"Sure enough, it's still far from enough!" Shu He remembered what Baili Moqing said in the Shanwai Valley.
He said that although her internal strength had increased a lot, when she met a real master, she had no choice but to run away.
It turned out that he was not joking, nor was he deliberately attacking her, but was speaking the truth.
While these guards weren't true masters, they were, after all, Imperial Guards. Their methods, skills, and experience in fighting enemies were unmatched by Shu He. The fact that she had been able to hold out until now, under the siege of so many people, was truly thanks to the free-spirited body movement techniques she had learned in her previous life.
"He Shu, I advise you to surrender. I will hand you over to the eldest princess for disposal!"
When Zhu Zifeng saw that she was injured, a hint of pride appeared on her face. She came in front of the guards, her face as pretty as a flower.
"If you dare to do it again, I will order you to die regardless of life or death!"
"Zhu Zifeng, you can't imagine how far a mother would go for her child!" Shu He looked at her indifferently, his eyes filled with determination and unwavering resolve. "Today, if I can't take my child with me, even if blood splatters three feet deep, I won't retreat a single step!"
Zhu Zifeng's smile deepened, and he seemed very happy to hear her say that.
This way, she would have a reason to kill her!
Seeing her bright smile, Shu He had guessed what she was thinking.
She sneered, "Oh, I forgot to remind you. The prince is now terminally ill and requires me to give him acupuncture every day to keep him alive. If I'm not here for a day, he will surely die!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zifeng's smile froze slightly, and a hint of coldness appeared on his face.
"Guess what, if something happens to me, will Baili Moqing, who is afraid of death, have you and these people killed, to bury you and him with me?"
Zhu Zifeng's face was solemn, and she was indeed worried, but when she saw the woman's smug look and her cheeks that were still hot and painful, a flash of cruelty passed through her mind.
"Humph, Baili Moqing is now an exiled criminal, even a dying man. Does he still have the energy to fight against the princess? Can he do it?"
Shu He frowned slightly, knowing that this woman was going to have her own way.
"Ignore what that woman said! She dared to break into the Princess's residence and intended to assassinate her! Everyone, come together and kill her! This will eliminate the Princess's future troubles!"
