The moment Nan Hua moved, Long Qian Xing seemed to understand the signal. He also moved towards the other assassin who stood not far from him.
Their movements were so in sync as if they had worked together for so many years.
Lan Qiu's eyes widened when he watched. He felt that he didn't understand Young Commander Long even more.
"Watch out!" Emperor Yang Zhou noticed that an assassin sneaked past Long Qian Xing and rushed towards them.
Seeing that, Lan Qiu readied his stance and his sword directly cut the assassin. He might be feeling dumbfounded by Long Qian Xing's performance, but he was still an Imperial Guard who knew what he was supposed to do.
Emperor Yang Zhou was also watching the performance of these two people in front of him.
For some reason, he felt a bit strange.
Those who knew about this ability of Long Qian Xing was very limited because he hadn't used it for a long time. Those who knew about it mostly had already died in Long Qian Xing' hand.
But Master Jiu's movement clearly showed that he knew about this ability of Long Qian Xing. And it was because he knew about this that he managed to keep calm and cooperated so seamlessly as if the two of them had known each other for so many years.
"Damn! Go between these two!" the assassins were feeling that they were going crazy. There were more than 30 of them but within a few moments, more than half of them were already killed by the cooperation of both Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing.
How could it be possible?
They were all not cabbages but elites from their respective groups. For them to be killed so miserably just showed the difference of skill between them and the two people in front of them.
Not to mention, it was so strange that Long Qian Xing could guess whatever they were planning to do. His position was always at the best position for him to counter their attacks. It was as if he could see where they would move at that very moment and calculated which move would be the best to counter them.
But how was it possible to do so within split second?
Beads of sweat formed on Long Qian Xing's forehead. His gaze was still very focused as he looked at the group of assassins in front of him. This high concentration state, which he called the zone, wouldn't last for a long time because it was draining him mentally.
However, this was the only method for him to be able to protect Emperor Yang Zhou from all of these people.
The man from Night Rat noticed Long Qian Xing's state and shouted. "Disperse! He wouldn't last much longer."
The assassins seemed to have received a new lease of life as they dispersed towards various location, trying to avoid Long Qian Xing's reach. It was at this time, Nan Hua took her needles.
Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!
Several of them were pierced and fell down directly. All of the needles Nan Hua brought with her were poisoned this time. It was to make sure that she would be able to deal with the assassins who came as swiftly as possible.
After all, Nan Hua didn't have any intention of interrogating any of them. The others caught by Prime Minister Lan would be more than enough for interrogation.
The man from the Night Rat was stunned then noticed that Long Qian Xing had went towards the man who didn't manage to react in time.
At this moment, the man from the night rat dashed out of the room. He realized that they wouldn't be able to finish the mission. And looking at how stubborn the two were and the time that had passed, he had to escape if he still wanted to live.
Staying there any longer would be the same as giving up his life.
"One is going away!" Lan Qiu slashed the next assassin who came near them as he noticed that one of them ran away.
Emperor Yang Zhou's gaze landed on Long Qian Xing. He naturally could see that Long Qian Xing was panting so badly. This state couldn't last that long in the very first place and Long Qian Xing had already fought several powerful assassins before this.
It had deeply consumed his stamina.
And Emperor Yang Zhou knew very well that Long Qian Xing would never use this method if not because he needed to because this ability of his was still not perfect.
Nan Hua looked at the escaped assassin and silent made a mental note to pay a visit to Night Rat Organization in the future. They were much better than the other organizations who only knew how to head towards their deaths.
Another assassin fell to the ground.
Her small body moved to the other group of assassin as her other hand procured the needles.
Two assassins fell to the ground.
The last assassin was being dealt by Long Qian Xing by now. Nan Hua stood still in her place. In the original story, Long Qian Xing overused his ability and fell into coma when the reinforcement came. This put him in quite perilous situation for the next few days and when he was healthy enough, many people had to pay for what they did.
However, Nan Hua had changed the future once more.
There was no way they could chase after that missing assassin. By now, that assassin would have already left far away.
Long Qian Xing took a deep breath and closed his eyes. By the time he opened his eyes once more, his pupil had returned back to its normal black color. He turned to look at Nan Hua, who was staring at him.
He asked in a hoarse voice, "How did you know?"
