Xiaoying sighed helplessly. "Last time, I had stored my power for a long time and sensed the danger approaching. So I unleashed all my strength to fend off the assassins. But this time, there are far more of them, and the secret guards in the dark are incredibly powerful. If I were to act like last time, the aura of the divine beast would be easily exposed."
"Don't worry. I'll handle it myself first. If I really can't manage, then I'll call on you." Feng Yuqin replied.
Even if Xiaoying and the others weren't divine beasts, there were very few people in the Western Song Kingdom who owned beast pets. Even ordinary ones, she didn't want to draw unnecessary attention.
So even though Xiaoying said he could conceal the divine beast's aura, she didn't plan to let him intervene unless it was absolutely necessary.
She didn't hide her thoughts, so the two beast pets were well - aware of her intentions.
However, Xiaoying and Xiaojin were determined to step in if their master was truly in danger.
Feng Yuqin dashed towards the assassins like a gust of wind.
This aggressive approach left the assassins stunned.
The moment Feng Yuqin made her move, they realized that her strength was far greater than they had anticipated.
Boom!
As Feng Yuqin unleashed her soul power, the surrounding assassins were shocked.
"Seventh - stage Soul Master?"
They had guessed that Feng Yuqin was stronger than they thought, but they never expected her to be a seventh - stage Soul Master.
"What's going on? Didn't they say Feng Yuqin was a useless person before?" This time, it was the secret guards hiding in the dark who spoke.
They had been sent to communicate with the assassins.
It would be best if the assassins could handle the job; if not, they would have to step in.
So seeing Feng Yuqin's seventh - stage strength, they were utterly incredulous.
Among them were the secret guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
They had witnessed Feng Yuqin's situation before her marriage alliance with their own eyes.
"Even if you're a seventh - stage Soul Master, so what? We also have seventh - stage experts here. Today is your death day." One of the assassins sneered.
Feng Yuqin snorted and scanned the assassins. "The ones who will die are definitely you... all of you."
"You're courting death!" Enraged, the assassin waved his sword, and a cold light shot towards Feng Yuqin.
Feng Yuqin dodged nimbly and quickly counter - attacked.
In her previous life, Feng Yuqin was an assassin herself, so she was extremely familiar with the ways of assassins.
When these assassins attacked her, she could anticipate their next moves and strike back.
In just a few breaths, Feng Yuqin had beheaded five assassins.
The remaining assassins were flabbergasted. Their only thought was: This is like encountering a ghost!
Why did they feel that Feng Yuqin was a more qualified assassin than they were, making them seem like amateurs in comparison?
Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Feng Yuqin's attacks grew more and more intense. The assassins, who had come to kill her, were forced to retreat step by step.
After a few rounds, the assassins realized that out of the more than twenty people who had ambushed and surrounded them, more than half were already dead.
The assassins stared at Feng Yuqin in horror.
She was terrifying.
This woman was simply terrifying.
Who was it that said she was a useless person?
If she was useless, then what were these dead people?
"Brothers, attack together! We must kill this woman!" One of the assassins roared in anger.
A bloodthirsty smile played on Feng Yuqin's lips as she unleashed her soul power once again.
Endless soul power poured into her sword. She grasped the long sword tightly and waved it. A powerful force shot out from the sword towards the assassins.
Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All the assassins were killed in this wave of attacks.
The secret guards in the dark frowned deeply as they surveyed the corpses on the ground. They cursed silently in their hearts: Useless trash.
"Master is so amazing!" Xiaoying clapped and exclaimed.
"These assassins are so weak!" Xiaojin chimed in.
A faint smile played on Feng Yuqin's lips as her cold and bloodthirsty gaze landed on a certain spot. "What? Haven't you watched enough of the show?"
Hearing this, four secret guards emerged from the shadows.
Feng Yuqin squinted her eyes as she looked at the leading secret guard and sneered. "My scumbag father is really something, sending so many people to kill his own daughter."
Moreover, they had been arranged to ambush her in advance.
When she was talking to Meng Xingyu before, she had mentioned that she would go to the Yan family.
So she guessed that her destination had been overheard then, which led to this ambush.
"Miss, since you've recognized me, I definitely won't let you leave here today." The leading secret guard said coldly.
"Really? Maybe it's you who will stay here." Feng Yuqin scanned the four secret guards and asked Xiaoying about their strength.
Xiaoying replied, "Master, I've checked. Their strength is around the fifth - stage of the Soul Sect."
"Miss, although I don't know why you had no strength half a month ago but are now a seventh - stage Soul Master, you should know that our strength is at the Soul Sect level. There's a huge gap between a Soul Master and a Soul Sect. So you're doomed to die here tonight." The leading secret guard said coldly.
"Let's see if you have the ability." Feng Yuqin said and made the first move.
The leading secret guard also attacked.
The moment they clashed, Feng Yuqin realized the huge gap in their strength.
It was indeed as the other side had said, a vast difference.
A single move from the opponent made her spit out a mouthful of blood, and the pain in her chest made her break out in a cold sweat.
"Master..." Xiaoying looked extremely anxious.
"I'll go and help." Xiaojin said.
Feng Yuqin immediately stopped him. "There are four of them. Can you two make sure none of them will escape?"
If her guess was correct, two of these four secret guards were from the Prime Minister's Mansion and two were from the Ji family.
If one of them managed to escape, her secret of having two beast pets would be exposed.
"Master, the strongest one isn't the one talking to you. It's the one at the back." Xiaoying said. "That person's aura always gives me a mysterious feeling. I'm worried he has a treasure that can help him escape."
Hearing this, Feng Yuqin frowned slightly. Was she really going to die here today?
"Miss, out of respect for you being my master's daughter, kill yourself." The leading secret guard looked down at Feng Yuqin condescendingly.
If Feng Yuqin killed herself, it would be the best outcome for his master.
"Dream on!" Feng Yuqin propped herself up and stood up, her eyes filled with determination.
"Since you're so stubborn, Miss, I'll have to send you to your death myself." This time, the secret guard increased the power of his attack by 30%.
He didn't plan to waste any more words and was going to take her life directly.
Boom!
A powerful force suddenly shot out from the secret guard's palm towards Feng Yuqin. Xiaoying and Xiaojin knew that if their master was hit this time, she would surely die.
So they couldn't let anything happen to their master.
Just as Xiaoying and Xiaojin were about to unleash their power to save their master, a black - cloaked figure appeared...
Boom!
Mo Xuanye's power collided with the secret guard's attack, and the secret guard was instantly killed.
However, by the time Mo Xuanye arrived, the sword energy was already in front of Feng Yuqin. Although he managed to neutralize a part of it, the remaining part still hit Feng Yuqin.
Puff... Feng Yuqin spat out a mouthful of blood directly onto Mo Xuanye's mask.
Feng Yi, who arrived later, was stunned by this scene.
