Seeing the thunderous fist coming toward her, the lady with yellow spirit energy quickly used her spirit energy and rolled away. However, even after she did that, the shock from the green spirit energy still blasted her meters away, even creating a big pit on the ground where she had been just seconds before.

The woman vomited out more blood and laid on the ground motionless.

Witnessing how the lady had been seriously injured, Yun Qianyu did not dare to delay anymore. She quickly cried out into the darkness, “Are you people still not coming out? Are you people coming out after I get killed?”

As soon as she said that, several shadowy figures appeared silently out of the darkness around the carriage at the speed of lightning.

Among the shadowy figures were Bai Yao and Xiao Yechen.

Immediately after appearing, Xiao Yechen asked worriedly, “Feather, are you ok?”

Yun Qianyu was surprised. She knew that Xiao Jiuyuan would send someone to monitor her secretly, in case someone tried to assassinate her. However, she didn’t expect Xiao Yechen to appear as well.

Yun Qianyu lifted the curtain to look out, and asked Xiao Yechen curiously, “Why did you come here?”

Xiao Yechen chuckled and said, “My ninth imperial uncle sent me to protect you.”

Yun Qianyu tugged at the corners of her lips sarcastically. ‘Xiao Jiuyuan sent you to protect me? Yeah right. You must have come because you were worried.’

However, Yun Qianyu did not continue this conversation, she quickly pointed to the people in black and said, “Be careful, the leader of the group is actually a grade 5 cyan spirit energy user.”

Bai Yao and Xiao Yechen were radiating a freezing aura, while their eyes were filled with killing intent.

An assassin with grade 5 cyan spirit energy was quite unusual. How could ordinary people afford to hire this assassin? Thus the real culprit behind the scenes must be very powerful.

However, even if the opponent was a grade 5 cyan spirit energy user, Bai Yao was not afraid. He ordered with his deep voice, “Go, take them down!”

After saying that, he rushed forward without hesitating; Xiao Yechen too followed suit to kill the people in black.

However, Yun Qianyu called him back, “Help me save the lady who was injured.”

“Alright,” Xiao Yechen immediately went to the side of the injured lady. After retrieving the lady, he placed her in Yun Qianyu’s carriage.

Yun Qianyu helped lay the lady down while Xiao Yechen immediately turned and ran to fight the people in black.

Among the group of assassins, aside from the leader with cyan spirit energy, there were two green spirit energy users. It seemed that this group of assassins was not randomly hired.

Xiao Jiuyuan sent two middle-grade green spirit energy users, and Xiao Yechen was a low-grade yellow spirit energy user. Although their spiritual energy level was not as high as the assassins in black, their spirit energy output was greater. Therefore, the two groups seemed equally matched.

As for the other assassins, they were no match for Xiao Jiuyuan’s men. Most of them were either killed or captured.

When the leader of the assassins felt that his men were dwindling in numbers, he became more cautious. Soon, he retreated and was going to get away.

Even though the two subordinates sent by Xiao Jiuyuan began their pursuit, Bai Yao still took action to stop the assassins. Within seconds, Bai Yao pointed at the group and cast a spirit energy array toward them. A large array with thunder and rain that seemed like a mountain came down on the assassins. Seeing this, the leader of the assassins yelled out, “Strike it with all your strength.”
