Chapter 388: Chapter 253: The Woman of This Prince_2

Hearing this, the Shadow Guards did not speak; they remained standing in place, surrounding the Prince’s Mansion’s carriage.

It was at that moment Wang Jiantao realized that no matter how he attacked, he couldn’t kill Bai Qingqing—she always managed to react in time.

Since Wang Jiantao had taught Bai Qingqing’s swordsmanship himself and was extremely familiar with it, he originally thought he could easily eliminate Bai Qingqing, the traitor. However, to his surprise, she had achieved a breakthrough to the Master Realm in such a short period of time, which put him at a disadvantage.

No, he couldn’t drag this out any longer; if he delayed until the Grandmaster from the Prince’s Mansion arrived, it was very likely that his mission would fail.

He was one of the Sum Emperor’s few remaining Shadow Guard leaders who had never failed, because all those who had failed were already dealt with by the Sum Emperor.

If he didn’t complete the mission this time, death was the only thing waiting for him.

At that moment, Wang Jiantao took a pill from his sleeve and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing Wang Jiantao take the pill, Bai Qingqing’s brows raised slightly.

As the Deputy Commander of the Shadow Guards, Bai Qingqing also knew that the Shadow Guards had a kind of Blood Burst Pill. Once this pill was consumed, a Martial Artist’s skill would greatly increase in a short period, similar to entering the Blood Burning State.

However, the side effects of using the Blood Burst Pill were very small, taking only a month or two to recover.

Clearly, what Wang Jiantao had just used was the Blood Burst Pill.

The next moment, Wang Jiantao’s knife technique suddenly became sharper, and his strikes grew much stronger. Wang Jiantao, who had been trying to use stealth to attack, was now directly engaging Bai Qingqing head-on.

Blades clashed and sparks flew; trees around them fell one after another, causing a great commotion.

At this point, Bai Qingqing was beginning to feel overpowered. Her swordsmanship, taught by Wang Jiantao, was very familiar to him. She was barely able to fend off Wang Jiantao’s attacks by relying on her Realm.

But as Wang Jiantao’s skill inside his body increased, Bai Qingqing couldn’t hold up at all and could only keep retreating.

Then, with a slash from Wang Jiantao, a huge blade force instantly sent Bai Qingqing flying. Although she blocked part of the attack with her sword, she was still knocked back more than ten meters and spat out a mouthful of blood, obviously sustaining internal injuries.

Seeing that Bai Qingqing was no match for Wang Jiantao, Lu Chen didn’t plan to stand by and watch anymore; he immediately jumped down from the carriage.

Seeing Lu Chen heading towards Bai Qingqing, the knife-wielding Shadow Guards immediately surrounded him, and then a Ninth Grade Shadow Guard said, “North Prince, if you come any closer, don’t blame us for attacking you!”

Hearing the Shadow Guard’s threat, Lu Chen let out a cold laugh, “You’re the first person to dare threaten me this year.” freёnovelkiss.com

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, the Shadow Guard’s body involuntarily flew towards Lu Chen, struggling to break free but to no avail.

Soon after, the Shadow Guard felt Lu Chen grabbing his neck, and he felt his skill rapidly draining from his body.

Seeing this, the other Shadow Guards sensed something was wrong—the North Prince’s strength was obviously underestimated by them. Then, a Shadow Guard shouted, “Attack!”

Although they hadn’t received orders to kill the North Prince, if he intended to stop them from completing their mission, they wouldn’t be polite.

Meanwhile, not far away, Wang Jiantao noticed what was happening near the carriage. Seeing the Shadow Guards suddenly charging towards Lu Chen, he frowned.

Just then, an aura of great power suddenly emanated from Lu Chen, centered on his body, pushing all the Shadow Guards to the ground.

Feeling the terrifying aura coming from Lu Chen, all the Shadow Guards were stunned, even Wang Jiantao was taken aback.

“Grandmaster!!!”

How is this possible?!

The North Prince had been in the North Land for less than four years; how could he become a Grandmaster?!

No wonder the North Prince only brought a few people with him on this trip—he was already a Grandmaster, how could he possibly be afraid of being assassinated?

Wang Jiantao quickly came to his senses and inwardly cried out “bad.”

They had been tricked!

It was clearly a trap set by the North Prince, designed to draw them out, those who wished to eliminate Bai Qingqing. Now they were in trouble.

Facing a Grandmaster, they had no capacity to fight.

At that moment, Wang Jiantao glanced over at Bai Qingqing, who had suffered injuries.

Could it be that today they could only retreat?

No!

If he didn’t complete the mission, he would face death upon his return!

With this thought in mind, Wang Jiantao immediately gripped the knife in his hand and charged at Bai Qingqing; he intended to take advantage of Lu Chen’s momentary distraction to kill her and then use his shadow shifting technique to escape.

Even though Lu Chen was a Grandmaster, he was still so young; Wang Jiantao was very confident in his movements, believing that even a Grandmaster couldn’t capture him.

Suddenly, Wang Jiantao appeared in front of Bai Qingqing and swung his knife at her.

Seeing this, Lu Chen snorted coldly, actually daring to kill someone before him.

The next moment, using Shadow Shifting, Lu Chen’s body appeared beside Bai Qingqing without any warning, pinning Wang Jiantao’s knife between two fingers.

Wang Jiantao was shocked. “Such speed!”
