âYour Highness, watch out behind you!â
Su Yingxue exclaimed, prompting Chu Yihan to turn around and swing his sword. The hidden weapons aimed at him were all deflected in the opposite direction with ten times the force of their initial attack.
âPuff! Puff! Puff!â
Those individuals were all killed.
Su Yingxueâs heart slowly eased as she approached Chu Yihan.
Zi Wei intercepted her. âDonât go, itâs dangerous.â
Having been an assassin for many years, Zi Wei was highly sensitive to auras. Chu Yihan couldnât recognize anyone now, so he would attack anyone who approached. If Su Yingxue went over, she would end up like the corpses beside him.
âHe wonât. Last time, Your Highness had an episode in the palace, and he woke up because of me. I can wake him up again.â
Su Yingxue confidently stepped forward.
âNo.â
Zi Wei wasnât clear about their relationship, but he knew he couldnât let Su Yingxue near the danger he sensed!
âYour Highness recognizes me. He wonât harm me!â
As Su Yingxue spoke, Chu Yihan approached with bloodshot eyes.
His eyes were consumed by the sea of blood, turning him into a different person entirely.
Normally, he was as cold as an immortal, distant and unreachable. But now, bathed in blood, he was like a demon, ready to engulf anyone in his path!
Zi Wei only protected Su Yingxue. Chu Yihan roared furiously and attacked him.
âGet back.â Zi Wei pushed Su Yingxue away.
Though unmatched in the assassin world, he couldnât fully resist Chu Yihanâs domineering sword energy.
âCoughâ¦â He coughed up blood.
âNot dead?â
Chu Yihan squinted, his blood boiling. How could someone survive his attacks?
âKill him!â
That was Chu Yihanâs only thought as he leaped into the air, sword swinging!
âYour Highness, stop! Zi Wei is here to protect me! Donât kill him, Your Highness!â
Su Yingxue rushed forward in a hurry. She used the red jade soft whip to entangle Chu Yihanâs hand, preventing him from swinging his sword. Chu Yihan glared at Su Yingxue angrily and said, âYouâre seeking death!â
âYour Highness, itâs me, Su Yingxue!â
As she spoke, Chu Yihan broke free and sent her flying.
Thankfully, Zi Wei caught her, preventing serious injury.
âWe canât get close to him. Letâs go!â Zi Wei pulled Su Yingxue away.
In Chu Yihanâs current state, he wouldnât die, but anyone who approached him would!
âNo, I canât leave Your Highness alone!â
Su Yingxue tried to go forward again, but Chu Yihan attacked once more.
She pushed away Zi Wei, stood her ground, and said softly, âYour Highnessâ¦â
Chu Yihanâs sword stopped just an inch from her neck.
He couldnât harm her. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Yingxue reached out and touched his cheek. âYour Highness, are you in pain? Please stop, donât kill anymore.â
âNoâ¦â Chu Yihan shook his head. He couldnât stop!
He needed more blood!
In the shadows, Chu Chengye, preparing for an ambush, saw an opportunity to strike.
But Su Jinxuan restrained him. âYour Highness, wait. Let Chu Yihan kill Su Yingxue first, then capture him!â
âWhy? If Su Yingxue wakes him up in this state, itâs over! We canât let her cure Chu Yihan!â
