Weird, my gaming life

In Zhu Wanying's mind, a face that was seven parts similar to her own, but always carried a gentle, fake smile, flashed by.

Second sister, Zhu Xiaoyun, who was always obedient and sensible in front of the Emperor, but behind his back she used vicious means to frame her more than once. The reason was simple: they both had their eyes on the famous young master of the imperial family, the eldest son of the Marquis of Xuanwu.

Unfortunately, the eldest son of the Xuanwu Marquis's family happened to be the fiancé his mother had arranged for him. The two families had already exchanged betrothal gifts, which led to his second sister hating him ever since she learned about it.

She often resorts to underhanded tactics to embarrass herself at banquets, and these tactics are indeed effective.

The reasons he came out this time were twofold: first, to experience the world of martial arts; and second, at the Lady Hou's birthday banquet, his second sister falsely accused him of giving a counterfeit gift, which was later found to be genuine.

This put her in a difficult situation, so she had no choice but to leave the capital to clear her head and return once the rumors had died down.

But to her surprise, even in her current state, her second sister still didn't want to let her go and actually wanted to kill her.

As Zhu Wanying watched the men in black charging towards her, fear gripped her heart like an icy hand.

Although she had regained some of her martial arts skills thanks to the doctor brought by her guards, she was still a helpless weakling when facing an assassin of the same caliber as the palace guards.

She was a princess. Although she loved martial arts, she was spoiled and could not endure the hardships of martial arts training. She started practicing martial arts at the age of six and has been practicing for ten years. She was only at the second level. Even so, she was already considered one of the top figures among the royal children in the palace.

Her father always said she was just as capable as any man, but she knew herself that she could only last a few moves against the guards. It was just that her father doted on her too much and was praising her.

Just as she was maintaining a calm exterior while her heart was racing, she saw a loyal guard rush towards her.

"Protect the young lady!"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a knife pierced through his body, and blood splattered onto the car window.

As Zhu Wanying watched the guard slowly fall with a look of resentment in his eyes, her pupils suddenly trembled violently.

Just then, another man in black seized the opportunity, his eyes flashing with cruel glint. He moved like a cheetah, leaping over the fallen corpses. The steel knife in his hand transformed into a cold light, slashing straight at the carriage.

It seemed as if it wanted to split her and the carriage in two.

"It's over..." Zhu Wanying finally couldn't keep her calm expression and closed her eyes in despair. However, the excruciating pain she had expected did not come.

She heard a crisp "ding" sound, as if a pebble had struck steel, followed by a short, suppressed groan.

Zhu Wanying opened her eyes, and in that instant she saw a scene she would never forget.

The child who had been trembling with fear at the sight of the thugs had somehow appeared in front of her carriage. One hand was firmly gripping the steel knife that was being swung down, while the other hand, with lightning speed, shot out two fingers that precisely pierced the wrist of the man in black holding the knife.

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the man in black let out a shrill scream as his wrist twisted at an unnatural angle, the steel knife slipping from his hand.

Lin Yuan gave him no chance. He lowered his body, like a cat skimming the ground, and instantly closed in on the man in black. His right elbow then struck the man's jaw.

With a dull thud, the man in black's head snapped back violently, the sound of his neck breaking clearly audible. His tall body slumped to the ground, lifeless.

The whole process was so smooth and fast it was breathtaking.

The carnage on the carriage caused both sides to freeze for a moment, leaving the surviving guards dumbfounded.

The black-clad assassins stared at the suddenly appearing child with disbelief.

"Kill him!"

One of the men in black was the first to react and shouted sternly.

They were assassins, though shocked that a six-year-old child could act so swiftly and decisively.

However, they had seen all sorts of strange things in the martial arts world, and they quickly suppressed their shock.

The three men in black immediately abandoned their fight with the guards, turned around, and pounced on Lin Yuan from three different angles at the same time.

The blades flashed, blocking all of Lin Yuan's escape routes. Zhu Wanying's heart leaped into her throat once more, but Lin Yuan's figure vanished from the spot.

He had mastered the Divine Swiftness and Tiger Step technique to its fullest extent. Like a phantom weaving through the flashing blades, he avoided fatal blows with the slightest margin with each sidestep.

Each sway caused the enemy's attack to miss.

A man in black swung his long sword horizontally, creating a gust of evil wind.

Instead of retreating, Lin Yuan advanced, his body sinking at an incredible angle, sliding into the other's arms. His fist, small yet powerful, blasted out like a cannonball, striking the man's dantian (energy center) in the lower abdomen.

"puff!"

The man in black was struck as if by lightning. His protective aura was instantly shattered, and he curled up like a shrimp, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs before flying backward.

Seeing this, the other man in black changed his move with lightning speed, turning his long sword from a slash to a thrust, aiming straight for Lin Yuan's back.

Lin Yuan didn't even turn his head, as if he had eyes in the back of his head. He kicked his left foot out sharply backward, delivering a powerful and unparalleled "Tiger Tail Kick" that accurately struck his opponent's knee joint.

"Click!"

Another agonizing cracking sound rang out, and the man in black screamed as he collapsed to his knees. Lin Yuan's figure had already swept past him.

Seeing his companions fall one after another, the last man in black finally showed a flicker of hesitation in his eyes. He roared and tried to force Lin Yuan back with a frenzied attack.

Lin Yuan's eyes were as calm as an ancient well; he no longer avoided the question.

Facing the blade slashing down at him, he stretched out his left hand, his five fingers spread, and a surge of powerful innate true energy instantly covered his palm.

"when!"

He actually managed to grab the sharp blade with his bare hands!

The man in black's pupils shrank to pinpoints. He tried with all his might to pull back, but the blade seemed to be welded to him by iron clamps, remaining completely still. The next moment, Lin Yuan's right fist was already planted in his chest.

The seemingly casual punch caused the man in black's chest to cave in as if struck by a battering ram.

The three men in black who were besieging the attackers were all killed, and the remaining men in black were utterly terrified.

This is no child; this is clearly a demon crawling out of hell!

Their battle with the guards was nearing its end; the two remaining guards were covered in wounds, but the men in black had also suffered heavy losses.

Seeing that the mission was no longer possible, the leader of the men in black let out a sharp whistle.

"withdraw!"

He feinted, forcing back the guards in front of him, and turned to disappear into the forest. But as soon as he turned, a small figure appeared like a ghost in front of him.

"Trying to leave?"

Lin Yuan's voice was childish, yet it carried a chilling intent. The leader was terrified. Without thinking, he channeled all his power into his blade and unleashed a desperate strike, aiming for Lin Yuan's crown!

Lin Yuan didn't even look. He simply raised his hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and flicked the blade that was slashing towards him.

"Zheng—"

A high-pitched metallic clang rang out. The longsword, forged from fine steel, had broken in two! The last trace of color drained from the face of the black-clad leader. He stared blankly at the broken half of the sword in his hand, muttering to himself.

"A finger...a steel knife broken with a finger...this...this is...a master of innate cultivation..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yuan's finger sword had already slashed across his throat. A line of blood appeared, then exploded violently.

The leader clutched his neck, his eyes filled with disbelief and utter shock, before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

"How could such a young master of the Innate Realm appear in this martial world!"

With the leader dead, the last man in black completely broke down and turned to escape, but was slashed to the ground by the surviving guard.

The noisy battlefield suddenly fell silent, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
