The Sword of the Four Seasons

"Brothers, it's a good thing you came here. Please help me protect the Crown Prince."

Fang An breathed a sigh of relief when three men who looked the same age walked into the courtyard. These three were representatives sent by the Truth Light Temple, the Single Sword Sect and Peach Blossom Mountain.

Even though his internal injuries had completely recovered it didn't make Fang An arrogant, he did have great abilities among titled warrior but Fang An would not be able to take on three blood mask assassins at once.

"What should we do?" one of the blood mask assassins asked his two comrades.

"What else can we do? Leader has already helped us keep Jiang Kun away, we must not fail to kill the Crown Prince." Answer another assassins.

Finishing saying that, one of the assassins blew a special whistle made of jade. Fang An and the other three people became alert knowing that was the sign of the Flower of Sin assassins asking for help.

"Finish them before the help arrives, if a few more as capable as them come then our situation won't be good." The Single Sword Sect representative argued, he drew his sword after saying that and charged at the assassins.

Fang An did not remain silent, he followed along with the representative of Peach Blossom Mountain. The monk who was the representative of the Truth Light Temple didn't join in the fight, he thought it was better for himself to be alert and pay attention to his surroundings so that no one would try to carry out a secret attack while they were too focused on fighting.

A fierce battle ensued between the Flower of Sin assassins and Fang An and the representatives of the three strongest groups of white sect.

The sounds of the battle could be heard by Yin Song and the others who were inside. Yin Song tightly hugged the terrified Mu Rong and Yin Xuehua. There were still two Sword Elders protecting them but Yin Song still felt anxious.

On the other hand Yin Xuehua's gaze was blank, she was thinking about Xiao Chen's condition that was in danger due to protecting her.

Xiao Chen and the three purple mask assassins were stunned to see the sky above them turn bright silver for a few moments. When the night sky returned to normal, Xiao Chen and the assassins came to their senses.

"What are you doing?!" one of the purple mask assassins fell into a panic fearing that the fireworks Xiao Chen released would affect their plans.

Xiao Chen held his breath then smiled due to the panic he saw at the three assassins in front of him, "Make sure the Flower of Sin organization will perish tonight." The answer is cold.

Of course Xiao Chen was just bluffing, he knew that even if the Silver Moon Association brought in all the expert warrior and titles they had it wouldn't help the current situation much. Xiao Chen only hoped that the fireworks would attract the attention of the three strongest groups of the white sect residing in Luoyang.

Xiao Chen didn't know the exact number of Flower of Sin assassins who had come here, but seeing no help had come after such a huge commotion at the Crown Prince's residence, it certainly explained that a similar situation seemed to be happening throughout the Palace.

"Perhaps it wasn't just the Flower of Sin Organization that attacked the palace…" Xiao Chen became more and more worried.

Something that is almost impossible for hundreds of people to infiltrate the Palace undetected, unless they are not infiltrating but attacking openly.

"We'll finish this kid first, then we'll tell the leader what happened..." one of the purple mask assassins said to the other two killers.

The two nodded and took out their secret weapons and moved to surround Xiao Chen. This time Xiao Chen didn't try to run anymore, he raised his sword high enough and pointed it at the assassin in front of him.

"I don't really want to use this but it seems I have no other choice…" Xiao Chen started to do some moves that made it look like he was dancing.

"Spring Blade Dance!"

When the three assassins were stunned by the beauty of her swordplay, Xiao Chen suddenly stepped forward and attacked the assassin in front of him. Xiao Chen's movement was so fast, that the assassin was unable to completely dodge the attack.

Xiao Chen's attack aimed at his opponent's heart, the assassin dodged quickly enough so that the wound Xiao Chen gave was neither deep nor serious. The other two assassins didn't let Xiao Chen go his way, they threw shurikens at him.

Xiao Chen could feel the attack from behind, he turned around and parried all of the weapons with the sword in his hand.

"Spring blade dance? The Four Seasons Swordsmanship of Peach Blossom Mountain?" one of the three assassins recognized the swordsmanship Xiao Chen used.

"No wonder this brat has such great knowledge, he seems to be a genius from Peach Blossom Mountain." Another killer replied.

"No, this swordsmanship is one of Peach Blossom Mountain's best, only the position of Elders can learn it…" the assassin who recognized the swordsmanship added.

Xiao Chen frowned, "It turns out that there are members of the Flower of Sin who are also from the white sect?"

As the purple mask assassin had said, the technique Xiao Chen used indeed came from Peach Blossom Mountain. Even though this technique was quite widely known, few had ever seen it let alone knew the rules of this art were only learned by the elders of the sect.

If one could tell this far it would mean that he was from a white stream close to Peach Blossom Mountain. Xiao Chen realized the potential danger posed by the Flower of Sin organization from that statement, this meant that the white sect group had been infiltrated by people like the Flower of Sin.

"It is likely that the Valley of the Hundred Swords has also been infiltrated, considering that several years ago there were intruders in the Sword King's Villa who intended to harm the Crown Prince's family…" Xiao Chen thought.

In his previous life, Xiao Chen had indeed managed to find Peach Blossom Mountain's heirloom, the Four Seasons Swordsmanship Scripture, in an auction, at that time Peach Blossom Mountain had already perished from the martial world.

So far Xiao Chen had not used it in front of Fang An for fear of being questioned and possibly being accused of stealing knowledge. The punishment for someone who steals the knowledge of another sect is very severe.

Besides that, with his current physical condition and not having a suitable sword, Xiao Chen could not use this sword art perfectly. Even though he often practiced this skill secretly when Fang An wasn't paying attention, he still could only bring out 10% of the original ability of this skill now.

It had been several years since Xiao Chen had used this skill to fight, and he was excited because of this skill that made him known as the Holy Swordsman.
