The Umbrella-Holding Ghost of Northern Liang Takes Action Personally!

Ying Changqing stroked Jingni's hair.

"I just killed Zhao Huangchao of the Liyang royal family. Even if I am killed by the Dark River assassins now, people will think that it was an assassin hired by Liyang."

Ying Changqing smiled slightly.

"pity."

"He calculated everything, but he never expected that the last piece had already betrayed him."

Ying Changqing gently placed his hand on Jing Ni's slightly protruding belly.

He kissed her cheek affectionately.

Ying Changqing knew that the assassins from the Northern Li Dynasty's Dark River would come to kill him, but he was not afraid.

The distance between Beili and Daqin is short, and time is of the essence. Only a few terrestrial immortals can arrive in time, so the number of assassins is limited.

Nangong Pushe helped him restore his internal energy, and he can now exert about 70-80% of his power.

……

On the carriage, Zhou Zhiruo was only at the early stage of Grandmaster cultivation, but Yan Fei and Nangong Pushe were very strong.

Jingni is pregnant, but she can still exert the strength of a terrestrial immortal.

If the Dark River assassins dare to come, Ying Changqing will kill them all.

"Your Highness, we're supposed to enter the Lishan Yin-Yang Clan's territory today, why haven't the Dark River people made a move yet?"

When Zhou Zhiruo asked, Ying Changqing didn't care at all.

"Jing Ni gave us advance notice, which is how we found out that assassins were coming to kill us."

"Neither Lü Buwei nor Anhe knew that they had been discovered."

"So they will definitely make their move when we are most relaxed."

Ying Changqing said with a smile as he tossed the apples around.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo understood.

"Your Highness, do you mean they'll make their move today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Changqing put the apple back on the table, a smirk playing on his lips, and said softly, "That's right."

"And they've already arrived!"

Nangong Pushe was wiping Xiudong and Chunlei when he heard this and immediately stopped, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Your Highness, have they arrived?"

Nangong Pushe, Jingni, and Yanfei immediately became alert and focused their attention on their surroundings.

But nothing was found.

"Dark River is the most terrifying assassin organization in Northern Li; their stealth skills are indeed superb."

Living things are very sensitive to killing intent.

When an ordinary assassin gets close, it will scare away birds and reveal their location.

However, the six people from the Dark River were only a hundred meters away from Ying Changqing's carriage, but the birds in the trees did not notice and continued to chirp.

Ying Changqing's eyes were icy cold as he said in a low voice, "Lu Buwei sent six experts at the Land Immortal Realm to kill me. He's gone all out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Changqing snapped his fingers.

Outside the car.

A massive stone wall suddenly appeared in front of the carriage, completely blocking the assassin's sword energy from the Dark River.

"Note that there are six enemies in total."

"One is at the peak of the Land Immortal Realm, and the other five are at the early stage of the Land Immortal Realm."

Ying Changqing reminded him, his gaze fixed on Zhou Zhiruo.

The enemy has already made their move, and Nangong Pushe, Yanfei, and Jingni will certainly respond immediately.

Only Zhou Zhiruo, a young Taoist nun at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm, was completely unaware of what had happened.

She first heard a loud bang that made her ears hurt, and then she heard Ying Changqing's warning.

Although Ying Changqing blocked the Dark River assassins' attack, they did not continue their assault.

So everyone calmly stepped off the carriage.

"Yanfei, the two assassins in the northwest are yours."

"Nangong, the lone assassin to the south is yours."

"I will personally deal with the three assassins ahead, including their leader."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Nangong Pushe and Yanfei immediately carried out the order and rushed in the direction Ying Changqing pointed.

They had all practiced the Everlasting Spring Technique.

At such close range, no matter how well the Dark River assassins disguised themselves, they couldn't escape their detection.

Ying Changqing was not worried about the safety of the others at all.

"Your Highness, what should I do?" Jingni asked.

"You stay here and don't move."

"If the pregnancy is threatened and the child is in danger, even killing Lü Buwei won't quell my hatred."

"You can also protect Zhiruo and prevent her from being ambushed."

Jingni did not argue, but nodded gently.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will guarantee Zhiruo's safety."

Zhou Zhiruo watched all of this with great resentment.

She clenched her fists: "Your Highness, I will never be a burden to you again, I promise!"

"Zhiruo, don't worry, you'll be able to handle things on your own next time."

Ying Changqing's words were not empty words of comfort.

Zhou Zhiruo has good talent, but lacks strength. The problem lies in the low level of martial arts in Yuanzhou, which is a remote and impoverished place.

Apart from Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi Fist and Sword from Wudang, and a few other unique skills like the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth and the Nine Yang Divine Skill from the Ming Cult, all other martial arts techniques are rubbish.

The reason why Zhou Zhiruo's strength is so much weaker than Jing Ni and others is that she practices these useless techniques.

Ying Changqing's affirmation brought tears to Zhou Zhiruo's eyes, and she nodded vigorously.

Ying Changqing stopped talking and took a few steps forward.

In an instant, countless trees in the woods ahead seemed to come alive.

The vines shot out like venomous snakes, forcing the three people hiding inside to come out.

Ying Changqing recognized the three people in front of him, especially the man wearing a ghost mask and holding a strange umbrella. He immediately recognized him as Su Muyu, the number one expert among the younger generation of Dark River.

The leader of the Spider Shadow Assassin Group, also known as "Puppet," is a member of the Dark River Clan's direct subordinates. He is also called the Umbrella Demon.

He, along with Ye Dingzhi, the former leader of the Northern Li Demonic Sect, Zhuo Qing, the former Grand Eunuch of the Dynasty, and Yan Zhantian, the Furious Sword Immortal, were known as the Four Great Demons of Northern Li.

"The Dark River Organization directly dispatched Su Muyu, the Umbrella Ghost, whose status was second only to the patriarch."

"They really value me."

Ying Changqing's words made Su Muyu's eyes narrow slightly, her expression behind the mask filled with astonishment.

Unexpectedly, Ying Changqing recognized him at their first meeting.

"The Qin and Northern Liang have never shared a border. As a prince of the Qin Empire, Ying Changqing should not know me."

Su Muyu suddenly felt uneasy.

He believed that Ying Changqing was far more complex than the intelligence reports suggested.

As an assassin, you can't back down once you accept a mission.

"The prince of the Great Qin Empire is of noble status, yet he was able to recognize my nameless assassin from Beili."

"Su Muyu is truly honored."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Muyu's umbrella suddenly opened, and a sharp sword shot towards Ying Changqing like an arrow.

The two assassins beside him immediately understood and launched a simultaneous attack on Ying Changqing from both sides.

With Su Muyu's sword in front, assassins attacked from both sides, while Jing Ni and Zhou Zhiruo were behind her.

The assassins from the Dark River instantly blocked all of Ying Changqing's escape routes.

But Su Muyu dared not relax in the slightest.

The scene of Ying Changqing's sudden rise of the earthen wall blocking his sword energy was still clearly imprinted in his mind.

The three of them hid in the forest, but were forcibly forced out by tree weapons—a scene they still vividly remember.

After witnessing various bizarre Yin-Yang techniques, Su Muyu constantly reminded herself to be careful.

Ying Changqing did indeed make a move.

He simply beckoned with his finger.

The Qiu Li sword behind Zhou Zhiruo immediately flew into his hand.

Ying Changqing simultaneously made the sword vibrate seventeen times in a row.

At this moment, the two assassins and the flying sword were already in front of Ying Changqing.

"The Secret of the Character 'Stop': Seventeen Stops!"

After Ying Changqing finished speaking, he swung his sword.

This sword strike may seem ordinary, but it is incredibly powerful.

The two assassins' steel swords shattered into pieces upon contact with the Qiu Li Sword.

At the same time, they were thrown back and crashed into a large tree.

It crashed into and broke several giant trees before finally stopping.
