Yanfu: Starting with the Six-Eared Macaque

Chapter 19 Assassination of the King

"Brother Chen, what's going on in the front yard?" Mo Mingxuan stopped first, his brows furrowed, his tone full of urgent inquiry.

He placed one hand on the short knife at his waist, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily, fearing that something unexpected might suddenly appear from the shadows.

Chen Xing lowered his voice and quickly replied, "Two groups of assassins are coming from the front and they're attacking Prince Chun." As he spoke, he pointed towards the front yard.

In the darkness, the night sky was illuminated red by torches, and the clanging of weapons clashing, mixed with screams, drifted over intermittently.

"An assassination attempt on Zaifeng?" Mo Chou's eyes suddenly lit up, and she gripped the short knife in her hand tightly. Her face flushed with excitement, and her voice was filled with disbelief and excitement. Her breathing became rapid.

"Yes." Chen Xing nodded emphatically. Before he finished speaking, Mo Chou could no longer contain herself and was about to rush forward.

"What are we waiting for! Let's go help them and avenge my parents!"

Before Mo Chou could finish speaking, she had already rushed out towards the Yin'an Palace like a gust of wind, her steps quick and urgent, as if she was afraid that if she was a step too late, she would miss the opportunity for revenge.

Mo Mingxuan also clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Xing and said urgently, "Brother Chen, Zaifeng's matter concerns my sister and me's revenge plan, so I will take my leave first!"

After saying that, Mo Mingxuan pushed off with his feet and quickly caught up with his sister.

Chen Xing stood there, watching their hurried departure, his brows furrowing slightly.

The fighting in the front yard grew more intense, the torchlight became increasingly blinding, and one could even faintly hear Yan Xiaoguo's shouts and the assassins' screams.

Chen Xing gritted his teeth, about to rush over to provide support, when a cold voice rang in his ear.

"You have triggered a special Yama event: [Assassination of the King]!"

The demands for this Yanfu incident are as follows: kill Prince Chun and Yan Xiaoguo, who was ordered by Empress Dowager Xi to protect him, and escape the pursuit of Han Mochen, the commander of the Infantry Department, and his army!

Please note that Han Mochen has received news of Prince Chun's assassination and is on his way. He is expected to arrive at the Prince's residence in 15 minutes!

Judgment criteria:

First, kill Zaifeng and Yan Xiaoguo.

Second, escape from Han Mochen's pursuit.

Completing this Jambudvipa event will significantly increase your purchasing privileges and grant you an additional special reward upon completion of the Jambudvipa event.

As soon as he finished speaking, a small countdown appeared in Chen Xing's vision, with the semi-transparent "15:00" slowly ticking.

Without having time to carefully review the mission, Chen Xing hurried back to the front of the Yin'an Palace.

At this moment, only two of the original six assassins remained. The Mo siblings had joined forces with these two assassins and were now besieging Yan Xiaoguo and Prince Chun.

Both Yan Xiaoguo and Prince Chun's official robes were ripped in several places, and black blood seeped from multiple wounds on their bodies, clearly indicating poisoning. The guards of the Prince's mansion lay scattered on the ground, their fates unknown.

"Your Highness, don't panic, Mo Chen will be there soon!" Yan Xiaoguo raised his sword to block a slash coming at him, and then kicked away an assassin who was attacking the prince. His movements were swift and decisive.

Mo Chou's short sword, like a serpent's tongue, aimed straight for Prince Chun's vitals. Prince Chun, however, neither dodged nor evaded, relying on the length of his long sword, he directly countered with a thrust at Mo Chou.

Mo Chou shifted her feet, dodging the blade to the side. With her left hand, she forcefully pressed down on Prince Chun's outstretched right hand, while her right hand swung the short sword across Prince Chun's neck.

Prince Chun ducked to avoid the sweeping blow, then raised his sword and precisely parried the short knife that Mo Chou was thrusting at his face.

Seeing that Prince Chun's knife was blocked, Mo Mingxuan immediately seized the opportunity and thrust his short knife straight at Prince Chun's throat.

Yan Xiaoguo reacted swiftly, turning around abruptly and grabbing Mo Mingxuan's right hand holding the knife. At the same time, he kicked Mo Mingxuan hard in the abdomen, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

Just then, an assassin seized the opportunity when Yan Xiaoguo's sword strike was weak, his old strength waning and new strength yet to be generated. He closed in and swept his sword towards Yan Xiaoguo's neck.

Without a second thought, Yan Xiaoguo ducked to dodge the sweeping attack. He flipped his right hand, quickly changing the direction of his broadsword. He twisted his body and exerted force, the blade whistling through the air.

Sweep through the enemy ranks!

The assassin couldn't dodge in time and was struck solidly by the broadsword, blood spurting out and instantly staining the ground red.

Yan Xiaoguo's outer official robes had been ripped open, revealing his white inner garment, which was now soaked in blood. His dark face was glaring with fury as he stared intently at Mo Mingxuan, who had just gotten up, looking like a demon from hell.

Then, Yan Xiaoguo raised his broadsword and slashed fiercely at Mo Mingxuan, his blade moving swiftly and violently, determined to kill him on the spot.

In the critical moment, Mo Mingxuan rolled close to the ground, and Yan Xiaoguo's broadsword grazed his body, striking the ground and sending sparks flying. Seeing that his first strike had missed, Yan Xiaoguo immediately changed his slash to a sweeping motion, aiming straight for Mo Mingxuan's waist and abdomen.

Suddenly, a rope flew out and precisely wrapped around Yan Xiaoguo's arm, restraining him for a moment. Mo Mingxuan seized the opportunity to flip over and barely dodged the fatal blow.

Yan Xiaoguo grabbed the rope and pulled hard. The immense force made Chen Xing stagger. He then cut the rope with a backhand slash, breaking free of his restraints. His expression became even more ferocious.

"Clang! Clang!"

Chen Xing threw out two playing cards, both of which were deflected by Yan Xiaoguo's knife, making a crisp clanging sound.

He stopped testing the waters, suddenly drew out his specially made twin swords, rubbed them together fiercely, and instantly the blades burst into flames. Then, with the flames still burning, he slashed at Yan Xiaoguo.

Yan Xiaoguo bent down to avoid the fire knife, but Chen Xing slashed repeatedly with his blade, the blade accompanied by a whistling sound of wind and fire, forcing Yan Xiaoguo to retreat and dodge repeatedly.

Chen Xing's slash missed, but he turned and swung back, finally managing to steady Yan Xiaoguo, who blocked Chen Xing's fiery blade with his own. Seeing his left-hand blade firmly blocked, Chen Xing immediately countered with a right-hand slash, aiming straight for Yan Xiaoguo's face.

The flames on the blade made Yan Xiaoguo's face burn. He suddenly tilted his body to the side, and with a horizontal and vertical thrust of his broadsword, he formed an impenetrable defense in front of him, firmly blocking the sudden attack.

Undeterred by his missed attack, Chen Xing immediately twisted his body and stepped forward, slashing at Yan Xiaoguo with his left hand. Yan Xiaoguo deflected the fire blade with his own, and Chen Xing's right hand, hidden under his left armpit, immediately slashed horizontally.

Yan Xiaoguo twisted his body to avoid the fire knife, then changed the direction of the broadsword again. He suddenly twisted his body and exerted force, attempting to use the same trick to kill Chen Xing!

Chen Xing leaned back, his body almost arching, barely dodging the sweeping broadsword. He then flipped over to create distance between himself and Yan Xiaoguo, avoiding being overwhelmed by his brute strength.

Seeing the opportunity, Mo Mingxuan immediately drew his knife and charged forward, gathering his strength to slash down.

Seeing that Mo Mingxuan's attack was determined to succeed, and noticing Chen Xing's eagerness to try, Yan Xiaoguo knew he couldn't take it head-on. He parried with his broadsword, turned in a horse stance, and used his broadsword to graze the attack, dodging it to the side.

Mo Mingxuan's attack missed, and without hesitation, he slashed again. Yan Xiaoguo raised his sword to block, pressing down with the force of the blow, and forcefully parried the attack. The immense force forced Mo Mingxuan to retreat repeatedly, staggering.

Taking advantage of Mo Mingxuan's unsteady stance, Yan Xiaoguo swung his knife back, launching a fierce attack.

Seeing Yan Xiaoguo raise his sword and strike directly at Mo Mingxuan, Chen Xing immediately stepped forward, pressing down with both swords in an attempt to block the large sword. However, he was knocked away by the enormous force of Yan Xiaoguo's twisting and turning, and staggered back two steps before regaining his balance.

Taking advantage of the opening, Yan Xiaoguo turned around and kicked Mo Mingxuan hard in the chest.

Mo Mingxuan had just regained his balance and had no time to dodge, so he could only slightly raise his arms to block in front of his chest.

With a muffled thud, Mo Mingxuan was kicked away, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His left forearm was twisted unnaturally, clearly broken.

"Brother!" Mo Chou's eyes reddened with worry when she saw her brother was seriously injured. She wanted to go forward to help, but Prince Chun held her back tightly.

Mo Chou had also been cut several times, and blood had soaked through her clothes. She was fighting Prince Chun with the last assassin and was unable to break free for the time being.

At this moment, there are 5 minutes left in the countdown!
