Chapter 874: Chapter 872: Zi Luo Is Injured (9th Update)

”Thank you all for your support of the charity dinner tonight, and thank you, sir, for your generous donation,” Sun Zi Yun said on stage, pointing at Xiao Yifeng to express her gratitude.

After the auction ended, it was time for the normal dinner, and everyone started to eat.

An hour later, the dinner ended, and people were paying and claiming the items they had won at the auction.

Xiao Yifeng swiped his card for three hundred million, then obtained the Golden Armor Feather Robe, a pair of Dragon and Phoenix Bracelets, and Ye Yaxin’s calligraphy painting.

”Let’s go,” Xiao Yifeng said, looking at Ye Yaxin.

Snap!

Just then, the lights of the entire hotel went out all at once, plunging it into complete darkness and causing immediate chaos among the guests.

”What’s happening?” Ye Yaxin asked nervously.

”Don’t be afraid!”

At that moment, Xiao Yifeng held Ye Yaxin tightly. With his ”perspective eye” activated, he noticed a group of black-clad men wielding katanas appearing within the hotel, and their target was clearly Princess Zi Luo.

By now, Princess Zi Luo and her entourage had already engaged in a battle with them on one of the floors, unfolding a fierce fight.

Although Princess Zi Luo was surrounded by numerous guards, the attackers were even more numerous, and various hidden weapons kept appearing. In this dark environment, the Imperial Guard was caught off guard, trying to escort Princess Zi Luo and Liusheng Yiyi to safety.

Seeing this, Xiao Yifeng took Liusheng Yiyi and headed straight for the exit of the hotel.

With his ”perspective eye,” the darkness posed no obstacle to him at all, and he led Ye Yaxin down the stairs and out of the hotel.

”You go back first, wait for me, and put on this robe,” Xiao Yifeng instructed Ye Yaxin, handing her the keys and dressing her in the Golden Armor Feather Robe.

”What are you going to do?” Ye Yaxin looked at Xiao Yifeng with confusion.

”I have something to take care of; don’t worry about me, I’ll be back soon,” Xiao Yifeng kissed Ye Yaxin and she, without further questioning, drove off in the Pagani.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yifeng returned to the hotel because, naturally, he intended to rescue Princess Zi Luo.

Although he had no significant relationship with Princess Zi Luo, her death in China would be a bad look, especially since she was a princess of the Japanese Imperial Family. Furthermore, he didn’t want to see Liusheng Yiyi come to harm.

On the third floor of the hotel, a desperate battle raged on. The Japanese Imperial Guards, dozens of experts from the Liusheng Clan, and the Dragon Soul Experts sent by the Chinese government were all fighting together against this group of attackers.

However, most of these assassins were Ninjas, who are best known for their ninjutsu. The pitch-dark conditions favored them immensely, leading to heavy casualties among the protectors of Princess Zi Luo, with people falling every moment.

Four Guard Squad captains at the Great Perfection Realm of Condensing Qi, along with a Liusheng Clan strong one wielding a longsword at the Great Perfection Realm, were protecting Liusheng Yiyi as they retreated to the fourth floor.

In the darkness, their full attention was on their surroundings, always on alert for any sign of danger. Their expressions were intensely grave. Princess Zi Luo and Liusheng Yiyi gripped each other’s hands tightly.

Boom!

Just then, a dazzling blade light descended from nowhere, and the terrifying blade energy swept toward Princess Zi Luo and the others. A figure dropped down from above, bringing his blade down in a powerful slash.

”Protect the Princess!”

The four Guard Squad captains shouted in unison, each wielding their weapons to block the attack.

But the power of this blade was truly terrifying. With one strike, all four of the Great Perfection Realm Guard Squad captains were sent flying.

One by one, they fell to the ground coughing up fresh blood, indicating that the assailant’s strength had reached the Half-Step Saint Realm.

”Sending such an expert to deal with me, it seems my brother truly cannot tolerate me and does not wish for me to return to Japan,” said Princess Zi Luo indifferently, clearly aware of the true culprits behind her two assassination attempts.

Whoosh!

Without a word, the man holding a long saber charged at Princess Zi Luo.

At that moment, a Liusheng Family expert wielding a longsword struck out, sweeping forcefully with his sword.

Crack!

Spurt!

The collision of saber and sword resulted in the Liusheng Family warrior’s longsword shattering. A single slash pierced through his chest, and he collapsed to the ground with his eyes wide open.

Snap!

At this moment, the lights in the hotel suddenly came back on.

”Princess Zi Luo, I’m so sorry!”

The Half-Step Saint Realm man said to Princess Zi Luo, thrusting his sword at her.

”Be careful, Princess!”

Liusheng Yiyi quickly stepped in front of Princess Zi Luo, closing her eyes as the sword came at her.

Princess Zi Luo’s eyes flashed, and she forcefully pulled Liusheng Yiyi away. The sword stabbed into Princess Zi Luo’s chest, a blood arrow spraying out as she spat a mouthful of fresh blood.

Swoosh!

Just then, a flying dagger shot from behind the man. His expression changed, and he fiercely pulled out his long saber, spinning around and slashing out.

Boom!

The Half-Step Saint Realm expert had just deflected the flying dagger when Xiao Yifeng’s figure appeared before him. Xiao Yifeng threw a punch with terrifying force that twisted the very air around it.

Crack!

Xiao Yifeng’s punch came too fast for the man to dodge; he could only try to use his long saber to block. But Xiao Yifeng’s punch struck the saber.

With a single punch, the long saber was blasted away, and the terrible power of his fist landed on the man’s chest. The horrifying force of the punch exploded, shattering all of the man’s internal organs. His chest caved in, and a great protrusion appeared on his back. Fresh blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes bulged with an expression of utter disbelief.

He had not expected that he, a Half-Step Saint Realm practitioner, would be taken down with a single move—without any chance to fight back.

Thump!

The man knelt down and then collapsed onto the ground, lifeless.

”Princess, Princess, how are you? You must not die!”

At this moment, Liusheng Yiyi held Princess Zi Luo in her arms, her eyes brimming with tears as she spoke with a worried look on her face.

Xiao Yifeng walked over, pressed down on Princess Zi Luo’s wound, lifted her in one swift motion, and after scanning with his penetrating gaze, he found an empty room and walked in.

Placing Princess Zi Luo down in the empty room, Xiao Yifeng ripped open her upper garment.

Xiao Yifeng took out an acupuncture kit from his storage ring, brandishing silver needles and inserting them into her wound to stop the bleeding, all the while feeding Princess Zi Luo an elixir.

Then Xiao Yifeng continued to wield the silver needles deftly, as strands of Starforce surged out, mending her wounds.
