Chapter 419: Terrifying power
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Fang Zhengzhi was extremely curious about the Cloud Pattern. He would not miss out on an opportunity to examine it.
He could have joined Princess Shan Yu and beat up the six guards.
But that would have been too disrespectful towards Princess Shan Yu.
After all, if she couldn't even take care of a few guards herself, how could she still maintain her standing in the army?
Of course, there was another reason why he didn't attack.
He would much prefer to sneak in whilst the battle was ongoing.
By doing so, he thought that it would give them a better chance of victory.
He was effectively killing three birds with one stone. He would be increasing their odds of victory, showing respect to Princess Shan Yu, and would be able to examine the Cloud Pattern.
Princess Shan Yu hollered.
The six guards tightened their grip on their black spears. Their knuckles whitened as they prepared for the assault. They were all elite soldiers in the pinnacle Heavenly Reflection State.
One of them was already a Supernatural State cultivator. However, they did not dare to underestimate Princess Shan Yu.
They did not speak.
They knew that words were useless right now.
They had to carry out their duties and obey their orders. The Crown Prince had made it clear that no one was to enter!
”Woosh!”
A red light flashed.
Princess Shan Yu sprang into action, drawing the daggers sheathed at her thighs. She lunged at the throat of one of the guards.
Fang Zhengzhi knew how sharp the blade was.
Furthermore, he knew that these daggers were not just sharp. They had a burning aura and were made from a unique material.
”Ding!”
A crisp sound rang out as the spear and the daggers clashed. The guard was defending against Princess Shan Yu's attack.
His muscles tensed.
His skin could be seen through his armor. It was visibly difficult for him to defend against that strike.
But he still managed to block it.
At least, that was what Fang Zhengzhi thought.
His thoughts were quickly disproved.
After the clash, the daggers showed no signs of slowing down as they continued to press forward.
”Kacha!”
At that moment, the black spear broke into two like a slice of cheese being cut by a knife. Soon after, blood spattered all over.
That came from the chest wound caused by the dagger.
Princess Shan Yu had aimed for the throat. Even though the guard had managed to block the strike, Fang Zhengzhi was sure that she would not miss her mark.
But she did.
The blade went through his chest cleanly. Then, Princess Shan Yu spread her hands as though they were wings.
Afterward...
Something shocking happened.
Princess Shan Yu twirled on the spot before she spun into the group of six like a whirlwind of death.
he was outnumbered six to one, but she still charged into the middle of the fight.
Fang Zhengzhi thought that she had lost her mind.
More importantly, the six guards were not weak. Even if Princess Shan Yu had superior weapons, she should not charge in that way.
But...
That was exactly what she did.
The six guards were struggling to keep up. Their arms strained against the power of Princess Shan Yu.
When they tried to attack, the strangest thing happened. It was almost as though their attacks were drawn to Princess Shan Yu's blade.
It was almost rhythmic.
A very strange, inexplicable rhythm.
Fang Zhengzhi did not understand what it was, or where it came from, but he was sure that Princess Shan Yu's blade matched every move from the guards.
In fact, it felt like she was controlling their every move.
”Kacha, kacha!”
The spears broke in half as blood spouted from wounds in their chests. The encounter was short, a path had been opened.
They had not opened it themselves.
Princess Shan Yu had cut one through them.
Fang Zhengzhi was stunned. He had thought that Princess Shan Yu had lost her mind, but she had proved him wrong.
