Chapter 7. Boy, what are you laughing at?

Just as Chu Yuqin got ready, a black figure appeared on her right side, and then thrust a sword towards her body.

Chu Yuqin lightly pushed off with her feet, and her body leaped directly into the air like a feather.

Then she turned around and swept her sword at the assassin.

The assassin quickly retreated.

"As expected of the female swordsman trained by the Chu family! Your reaction speed is fast enough!"

Hearing this voice, Chu Yuqin could clearly see the faces of the two people.

There were two of them, and neither of them wore masks.

Judging from the imposing manner emanating from these two people, they were at least ninth - rank martial artists.

Those third - rank martial artists all wore masks, but the two main characters didn't.

What did this mean?

It meant that the other side didn't care if their faces were seen by others.

Either they thought they could kill everyone present today.

Or the faces they had now were fake, and they had used disguise techniques.

Of course, neither of these points mattered now. What mattered was how to deal with these two people.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin noticed that there was a red moon pattern on the clothes of these two people.

Chu Yuqin immediately guessed their origin.

Chu Yuqin said coldly, "Does the Blood Moon Tower know what it is doing? The person in the carriage is the Northern Prince. If the Emperor knows that the Northern Prince was assassinated by the Blood Moon Tower, I'm afraid your Blood Moon Tower will be destroyed soon."

Hearing this, Liu Tong laughed loudly, "Madam Chu really likes to joke. If Emperor Xia had the ability to deal with us, he would have wiped out our Blood Moon Tower long ago, and wouldn't have waited until today!"

At this time, Bai Hong beside Liu Tong said lightly, "Madam Chu, we have no intention of being enemies with the Chu family. As long as Madam Chu steps aside, we won't attack you."

After hearing Bai Hong's words, Chu Yuqin gripped the sword in her hand tightly and said coldly, "Daring to touch the Northern Prince is being an enemy of the Chu family!"

Liu Tong said, "Come on. The Northern Prince, a useless person, has already been abandoned by Emperor Xia. He will never inherit the throne. What reason does your Chu family have to support him?"

Bai Hong also said, "Madam Chu, we are just doing things for money. If Madam Chu insists on blocking, then don't blame our swords for being ruthless."

Chu Yuqin gripped the sword in her hand and swung it into the air, and a sword qi flew out, directly drawing a line between them.

"This is the bottom line. Those who cross it will die!"

Seeing that Chu Yuqin was unwilling to step aside, Bai Hong and Liu Tong had no choice but to fight.

To be honest, they were actually reluctant to fight Chu Yuqin head - on.

Although they were all ninth - rank, there were also large differences among ninth - rank martial artists.

Although Chu Yuqin was just a woman, she had a very high talent in the way of the sword, and was even very famous throughout the Great Xia.

But since Chu Yuqin was unwilling to step aside, there was only a fight.

Bai Hong immediately said to Liu Tong, "Elder Liu, you try to hold her back, and I'll go deal with that useless prince."

Liu Tong took out his large hammer and said with a smile, "Okay. I've long wanted to see Madam Chu's swordsmanship. I want to see how powerful the number - one female swordsman of the Chu family is!"

As he spoke, Liu Tong pushed off with his legs, and his body flew towards Chu Yuqin like a cannonball.

Chu Yuqin frowned and swung her sword, and a sword qi flew out. Chu Yuqin's body was very light, floating around like a feather.

Because of her light body, her sword was also very fast.

After just one move, Liu Tong was almost stabbed in the body by Chu Yuqin's sword.

Seeing that Chu Yuqin's sword had cut off his hair, Liu Tong immediately said to Bai Hong, "Elder Bai, don't waste time!"

Liu Tong never expected that Chu Yuqin's sword would be so fast, and he almost lost his life in just one encounter.

Bai Hong also knew that Liu Tong might not be a match for Chu Yuqin, so he immediately rushed towards the convoy.

Seeing this, Chu Yuqin lightly pushed off with her toes, and her body instantly flew out like an arrow.

Then Chu Yuqin swept her sword at Bai Hong.

Bai Hong instantly turned his head and raised his sword to block Chu Yuqin's sword.

Bai Hong then said to Liu Tong, "Elder Liu, I'll hold her back!"

Hearing this, Liu Tong's body disappeared on the spot and rushed straight towards the carriage where Lu Chen was.

Seeing this, Lu Chen's personal guards all rushed over, trying to block Liu Tong's advance.

However, Liu Tong was a ninth - rank martial artist after all. With one hammer blow, a personal guard was smashed to death.

Lu Chen's personal guards had no resistance at all in front of Liu Tong.

Seeing this scene, Li Feng in the distance became anxious.

This is trouble!

He then rushed towards Lu Chen's carriage, but after running only a few steps, he was stopped by the eighth - rank martial artist, "General Li, your opponent is me!"

Chu Yuqin also realized that Lu Chen would be in danger, and she immediately swung her sword furiously. One sword shadow after another swept through the woods, and the surrounding trees were instantly split into countless pieces.However, Bai Hong was no pushover either. He could always avoid Chu Yuqin's sword. After all, they were both ninth - rank martial artists. Although he might not be as powerful as Chu Yuqin, it was not a big problem for him to hold Chu Yuqin back.

Chu Yuqin immediately became anxious. Seeing that Liu Tong was about to approach the carriage where Lu Chen was, if she continued to be held back like this, Lu Chen would be in life - threatening danger.

When Lu Chen's mother died, she had promised to protect Lu Chen well.

If something happened to Lu Chen, how could she face her sworn sister after death?

Lu Chen must not be allowed to come to harm!

Chu Yuqin ignored Bai Hong and directly charged towards Liu Tong.

Seeing Chu Yuqin bypass him, Bai Hong quickly rushed forward and blocked Chu Yuqin's way.

At this time, Liu Tong had come to the front of Lu Chen's carriage. He didn't know which carriage Lu Chen was in, but he was ready to search one carriage after another.

Liu Tong swung his hammer directly, and the door of the carriage was instantly smashed to pieces.

At this moment, Lu Chen was sitting upright inside the carriage.

Seeing that he had found Lu Chen with the first carriage he smashed, Liu Tong laughed and said, "Hahaha, it seems that I'm quite lucky!"

In the distance, Chu Yuqin's face instantly turned pale.

"Oh no! Chen'er!"

Li Feng was also extremely panicked. He also wanted to save Lu Chen, but the person in front of him was an eighth - rank martial artist, while he himself was only a seventh - rank martial artist, and he couldn't break free at all.

When everyone thought that the Northern Prince was about to die here, Lu Chen showed a slight smile.

Seeing this scene, Liu Tong in front of Lu Chen was stunned.

Liu Tong asked in confusion, "Boy, what are you smiling at?"

Lu Chen didn't say a word and raised his hand to fire a shot. Bang!

With a gunshot, Liu Tong's body slowly fell backward.

His pupils constricted, and his eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't believe that he had died like this.

At this moment, everyone who was watching Lu Chen was stunned.

People didn't react at all.

It was obvious that the Northern Prince was doomed to die, so why did the ninth - rank martial artist fall to the ground just because the Northern Prince raised his hand?

Also, what was that sound just now?

What on earth was going on?

Liu Tong's death directly frightened the people from the Blood Moon Tower present.

Liu Tong was a ninth - rank martial artist.

As a result, he just looked at the Northern Prince, and then he died!

Even Chu Yuqin couldn't believe it as she looked at Lu Chen.

She was already prepared to go all out to avenge Lu Chen, but things suddenly reversed.

Chu Yuqin had basically guessed how Liu Tong died. Liu Tong's death must be related to the black - stick - like thing in Lu Chen's hand.

But she couldn't believe that that thing could instantly kill a ninth - rank martial artist.

At this moment, it seemed as if everything had been paused, and both sides even forgot to fight.
