Chapter 291: 171: Kill! Princess Zhi Yan takes action!_3

"Whoosh..."

Yan Nai’er’s sword drew a streak of lightning through the air.

In an instant, all the arrows shattered. Without any hesitation, she continued to rush forward rapidly.

Then, suddenly, a dozen figures appeared in front of her—all highly skilled assassins.

Yan Nai’er still didn’t stop, the Lion-Tiger Beast charging ahead.

Instantly, a dozen dark figures flickered like lightning, one after another, wielding their weapons, aiming to stab her to death.

Nai’er released her spiritual power in an instant, causing everything around her to start slowing down.

Slowed by two times, four times, eight times!

The lightning-fast pace of the dozen assassins instantly became incredibly slow.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish..."

Yan Nai’er, with a sword in hand, surpassed them in both speed and dragon power by far.

In Nai’er’s perception, everything seemed like slow motion, as one head after another flew into the sky, blood spraying wildly.

In the real world, however, everything was as fast as lightning.

"Whoosh..." Almost at the same time, a dozen heads soared into the air.

The two in front were the strongest; their swords were almost a mere foot away from Yan Nai’er’s face.

With lightning-fast hands, Nai’er grabbed the two incoming swords and shook them fiercely.

"Bang..." A massive dragon power struck out, instantly grinding the two assassins into pulp.

In less than two seconds, the dozen assassins were all cleanly killed.

However, Yan Nai’er stopped at this point, because there was a frail figure blocking the road ahead.

It was a middle-aged eunuch, pale-faced and without a beard, weak and pale.

He was the eunuch Li Zhu, who stayed by Princess Zhining’s side, a man who had killed countless people in the City of Rage Wave and had never needed a second move.

At this moment, Li Zhu looked at Yan Nai’er with amazement, clicking his tongue and said, "Ever since I left my adoptive father’s side, I’ve never met an adversary again. Your martial arts truly astonish me, miss."

Yan Nai’er descended from the Lion-Tiger Beast, watching Li Zhu with the caution of facing a formidable enemy.

If she was not mistaken, this would be the strongest opponent she had faced since becoming powerful.

Taking a deep breath, she gathered all her spiritual power and dragon power; there was no holding back now.

"Please!"

Li Zhu said.

As soon as he finished speaking, his body instantly turned into a ghostly shadow, with his sword hidden within the phantom, striking in an instant.

Nai’er’s delicate body was even faster, advancing straightforward like lightning.

"Swoosh..."

The two shadows crossed paths.

Thunder roared and swords clashed.

"Hiss..." Nai’er’s shoulder to her neck was slashed by a sword, blood spilling out.

But Li Zhu’s left chest was pierced through, followed by a violent cough, and blood gushed forth.

Immediately after, a dozen dark figures wrapped around him at the highest speed, fearful that Yan Nai’er would strike a second blow.

Nai’er gave him a cold stare, whistled, and the Lion-Tiger Beast came charging over. She leaped onto its back and continued her wild charge toward the City of Rage Wave.

"This woman’s martial arts are unimaginable," said Li Zhu, holding his wound on the left chest, and once again, a mouthful of blood spewed out.

Nai’er galloped on while looking down at the wound on her shoulder. In less than a quarter of an hour, the wound disappeared without a trace, not even leaving a scar.

She wiped the bloodstains, knowing that she must change her clothes after arriving at the City of Rage Wave, lest Suo Lun discovers it; otherwise, he would go mad.

Because he had repeatedly said that Nai’er must not be injured again, as it would drain her life.

Racing all the way, it took exactly one day for Yan Nai’er to storm into the City of Rage Wave. She didn’t go to Duke Zhi Ting’s mansion, but directly to the Dragon Temple.

"I am looking for Princess Zhi Yan," Yan Nai’er said.

At that time, Princess Zhi Yan was handcrafting a harpsichord with Mentor Byron, as Byron believed it was necessary to make a new instrument specifically for "Fate" to fully express the piece.

Upon hearing that someone was looking for her, Princess Zhi Yan was slightly startled, then stepped out, coming face to face with the fully armored warrior.

"Suo Lun has been taken by Fang Qingshu to the Dragon Sacred Hall Tribunal in Lava City," Yan Nai’er said bluntly.

"Wait a moment, please," Princess Zhi Yan said.

A quarter of an hour later, she came out, sword in hand, also mounted on a Lion-Tiger Beast, and without delay, the two set off directly for Lava City.

Note: The first update is here. I was struck with writer’s block yesterday, constantly thinking and brainstorming from last night until now, without a wink of sleep—truly a tormenting feeling.
