Chapter 723: Chapter 722: I Don’t Want to See You Hurt

"Prince, watch out!" Tie Xin shouted in alarm not far behind him.

Feng Wuya’s eyes darkened, preparing to meet the attack with his energy.

But then he heard Long Xinghe’s deep voice ring out beside his ear, "Such minor characters, why do you need to exert your True Qi?"

Clang! The sword moved as fast as lightning, instantly deflecting the large saber that was targeting Feng Wuya beneath his mask.

The face of the black-clad swordswoman changed, and she was forced back several steps.

She had not expected such a skilled fighter to be at Prince Xiaoyao’s side.

But today, she must use her numerical advantage to eliminate Feng Wuya.

Otherwise, if he truly found Wu Chenzi, the Empress would surely take her life.

"Attack! Whoever takes Feng Wuya’s head will be rewarded a thousand taels of gold by our master!"

With such a hefty reward, there would certainly be brave souls.

The assassins swarmed towards them, risking their lives to take Feng Wuya’s head.

Feng Wuya began to gather True Qi in his palm.

Long Xinghe became anxious, turned back, and pushed him towards Tie Xin, "You’re not allowed to use True Qi! Obey!"

Feng Wuya was stunned, having never been ordered about by a woman in such a way before.

Tie Xin immediately came over, pulling him down, "Prince, listen and do not use True Qi."

"..." Feng Wuya hesitated, already being pulled behind by Tie Xin.

He had completely become a protected species!

Long Xinghe and Jiang Tao, one in front and one behind, led their people to guard Feng Wuya within the battle circle.

But observing the number of black-clad people, although many had been taken down, the group still maintained an absolute advantage in numbers.

Inn guests fled in terror, and soon, only they remained in the entire inn’s backyard.

Many black-clad people lay on the ground, but several of their own had also fallen.

"Miss Long, we can’t hold them off if this continues," said Tie Xin, sword in hand, guarding by Feng Wuya’s side.

As black-clad people kept pouring in, Tie Xin became anxious too.

Why had killers been sent after Prince merely for going out to look for someone?

Who was behind this?

At first glance, these assassins seemed no different from ordinary ones, but upon closer inspection of their behavior after injury, they were indifferent to death!

"Prince, the more I look, the more they seem like Royal Guards trained by the Princes themselves," Tie Xin said with a shocked expression.

Which Prince or Prince had it out for their Prince, to the point of wanting him dead?

Their Prince, after all, had never partaken in the struggles of court politics!

Feng Wuya observed the assassins still fighting fiercely despite their injuries, his eyes filled with solemnity.

Indeed, they were Royal Guards, but it was unknown which loyal brother or loyal younger brother had sent them.

Brotherly strife was something the fourth Prince had often witnessed, but for Feng Wuya, this was a first.

His heart couldn’t help but feel desolate.

He had never intended to harm his brothers, knowing well each brother had his own ambitions, but after all, they were brothers of the same blood.

Yet now, they wanted his life, his head!

"Tie Xin, take Wuya and go!" Seeing the situation worsening, Long Xinghe immediately changed strategies, carving out a bloody path with Jiang Tao.

"Wuya, meet at the Magistrate of Qiansui City! Hurry!"

Long Xinghe pushed him hard.

As Feng Wuya turned back, he saw Long Xinghe’s arm covered in gashes—it was bleeding.

She was injured!

"How can I abandon you all and leave alone?"

Everyone had been using their lives to protect him since he was young.

But he refused to be a burden on anyone!

With a swish of his sword, its Sword Qi bursting forth like a rainbow, he forced the black-clad men attacking Long Xinghe to the ground, unable to get up.

Long Xinghe panicked inside, turned back, and met his deep, piercing black eyes.

She urgently said, "No!"

"I cannot always be the one who is protected," Feng Wuya declared, landing lightly beside her with an expression of calm determination, "I too can fight shoulder to shoulder with everyone."

"You can’t!" Long Xinghe said, her face filled with fear, "Ali said that for three months, you cannot use True Qi! Do you want the surgery she performed on you to be for nothing?"

"I don’t want to let down her efforts, but even more so, I don’t want to see you hurt," Feng Wuya responded.

As soon as his words fell, the long sword with fierce Sword Qi thrust its way out from beside her.

Long Xinghe, sweating coldly, cried out, "Wuya, come back!"
