Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(67) Danger Approaches; Dodge, Dodge, Dodge

The killing intent pressed closer. As the horse was also an intelligent animal, its four hooves stirred restlessly, its nose shooting out air, one step and it caused the whole carriage to be unstable. Xiao Ran clung onto the reins, seeing that the situation was far from good, he immediately jumped down. Perhaps it was because he was a noble from a royal family, seeing this scene, he wasn't at all panicked, on the contrary, he stood calmly in place, glaring at the arrival of these ill intended black-clothed men.

Chu Qing-Yan originally thought this Xiao Ran was too young and would easily be scared. However she didn't expect that at this moment, she would see this unfriendly prince's reliable side.

However, as for her, she really got scared, the kill or be killed struggle on the television screen, it was only because she knew they were all fake that was why she didn't have any feelings when watching it. However, now that it was about to happen to her, her fingers couldn't help but tremble. But when she saw the straight as pine-like person peacefully standing in place smoothy, a lot of the fear in her heart dissipated. Originally she was standing a bit far away from him, but now she took several steps to be a bit closer. Afterwards, with her eyes opened wide, she looked at these people from behind him.

Xiao Xu frowned, these people's footsteps were light and graceful, it could be seen that their skills weren't weak. Don't know when it started that these people were actually concealed in the capital.

"Kill!" The black-clothed people saw clearly that their numbers weren't many and immediately started their attack. Their aim was directed towards Xiao Ran.

"Protect the Fourth Prince!" The imperial bodyguards who followed Xiao Ran immediately shielded Xiao Ran by placing him behind their back. One after another, they unsheathed their swords and started to entangle the black-clothed people in battle.

Unfortunately, this time Xiao Ran had snuck away from the palace, so he didn't bring that many bodyguards with him. On top of which, the assassins had excellent martial arts, those imperial bodyguards were simply no match for them and the situation immediately tipped in favor of one side.

Xiao Xu didn't hesitate and ordered Gu Yi to protect Chu Qing-Yan before flying off and joining the fight.

Without Xiao Xu, Chu Qing-Yan looked at the black-faced Gu Yi at her side, she always faintly felt he had some prejudice against her. Ordinarily, if she didn't have to be in contact with him then she would not contact him, but now at this time, she couldn't be pretentious or else, her own little life would be on the line. As a result, she listened to Xiao Xu's words and obediently stood by Gu Yi's side. She could only try her best to decrease her presence.

Because Xiao Xu had joined the fight, the situation was alleviated, Gu Rong also took up the sword and fought with the black-clothed people.

Because Xiao Xu – this undefeatable god of war had joined in, the imperial bodyguards had a boost of morale so they put more strength into their attacks. Before, Xiao Ran had also learned some kickboxing martial arts in the palace, so at this time, he grabbed a saber, moving like a martial artist would, and rushed to slice with his sword towards the black-clothed people fighting his bodyguards. Chu Qing-Yan once again saw this kind of bloody scene and couldn't help but close her eyes. This world was a society governed by the rule of laws, how could such an unrestrained killing scene happen in such a public place with numerous people?

A blood-curdling scream rang out and made Chu Qing-Yan's eyelid move as she couldn't help but open her eyes.

However, the moment she opened her eyes, a white light flashed towards her eyes. Her pair of eyes contracted, her body moved faster than her thoughts as her body tilted to the right. Her right foot bent slightly and her whole body stepped towards the right so that the dagger just so happened to streak by on her left side, slicing off a length of her hair. Because she used too much strength so suddenly, on top of the fact that both of her knees had gone soft, after avoiding the attack, she couldn't stand steadily and her whole body collapsed flat on the floor.
