Vermilion Bird Emperor is now in a rage. Not only are the guests he invited problematic, but even his own guards are problematic, which has driven him absolutely into a frenzy!
If anything were to happen to Princess Longji at this moment, he would surely tear these people to pieces!
The Vermilion Bird Emperor was very fond of Princess Longji, and even considered her as his successor. If she were not a girl, it would be 100% certain that the right of succession would belong to her.
It's always worrying to think about a girl becoming emperor. Women can sometimes act on emotion, though it's not that men can't, but the chances are smaller. That's why the emperor's position has always been prioritized for Imperial Prince, while princesses have an inherent disadvantage.
This is why Princess Longji had various conflicts with the Royal Faction, and the two sides often clashed, especially over the gains and losses of power.
Regardless of the circumstances, the battles between Princess Longji and her siblings did not affect Vermilion Bird Emperor's feelings for them. They were still his children, and he would continue to care for and love them!
At this moment, Vermilion Bird Emperor had already rushed over. He could not trust anyone else now, as the person attacking his daughter was none other than a guard from his own Imperial Palace. Now he could only rely on himself to save his daughter.
After Vermilion Bird Emperor, others also reacted, and at this point, it became clear who was truly sincere towards Princess Longji and who was merely feigning affection.
"Break!"
Princess Longji let out a soft shout, channeling her Battle Qi to repel one of her attackers, and then broke through the encirclement in the opening!
However, things were not as simple as they seemed. After Princess Longji fought off that person, the people next to her immediately filled the empty seats, and those who had retreated quickly filled the empty seats of others.
Judging from this situation, these people are cooperating very well and have a high level of understanding!
Princess Longji was forced back, and by then, the other people's swords were already close to her body. These people did not change their attack patterns because of the changes in the others.
This group of people seems to have practiced many times and can handle any change!
At this moment, surrounded by enemies, Princess Longji made a strange twist of her body and darted through the gaps in the attacks!
Then, she began to fight back with her fists and legs...
"Bang bang..."
In an instant, Princess Longji's fists and feet repelled all those surrounding her. However, these people were unusually resilient. After being hit, they seemed unaffected and used their Battle Qi techniques to attack Princess Longji.
The four elements of wind, fire, water, and Battle Qi form a subtle net that traps Princess Longji within it!
These people's Battle Qi techniques seemed to complement each other, increasing in power exponentially after being unleashed, making it impossible for Princess Longji to break through them immediately, or at least not completely!
It's not complete, so naturally it's possible to crack part of it, it's just a matter of how much!
Princess Longji's current choice is to find the most advantageous way to break the deadlock and minimize her own damage. However, the time available for this search is very short.
Simply because the longer she thinks, the more likely she is to be attacked!
Therefore, Princess Longji did what she intuitively felt she should do in a very short time, using her strongest Battle Qi technique. She didn't need to hold back now; as long as she could hold on for a while, someone would come to her aid.
A powerful surge of fire elemental energy erupted within the state banquet palace!
It seems that Princess Longji is of the fire element and is a martial arts genius that is rare even in a century. She can unleash her fire-type Battle Qi skills to an unimaginable level, making her strength far superior to her peers!
If Princess Longji had been wielding her signature weapon— the Fire Dragon Whip —these assassins might not have been able to restrain her, and she wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
She didn't have time to take it now, but luckily she knew a little martial arts and could manage. For this, she felt she should thank someone; if it weren't for that person, she wouldn't have cared much about her martial arts skills.
"Divine Dragon Tail Sweep!"
Princess Longji spun around and delivered a whirlwind kick with one leg, while her fire-type Battle Qi concentrated on her leg and spread outwards, just like Divine Dragon Tail Sweep tail!
Wherever her legs went, a dragon-shaped fire-type battle Battle Qi would appear and rush outwards!
Those with keen eyes will notice at this moment that Princess Longji is not simply spinning, but is also continuously kicking out Battle Qi in all directions during this spin!
The movement was just too fast, so fast that it was impossible to see it clearly!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The series of explosions and the visible clash of Battle Qi in the air sent most of the assassins flying and broke most of their combined attack.
Princess Longji had no choice but to face the rest head-on!
"Bang..."
"Bang..."
The rest, like the previous ones, were deflected. Don't forget, Princess Longji has another piece of equipment that can reflect all Battle Qi and magic back.
This caused the assassins to return empty-handed, but that didn't mean Princess Longji could stop and rest!
Cold-Blooded Seventh launched another wave of hidden weapons, which Princess Longji could not dodge for the time being. However, Cold-Blooded Seventh did not think he would succeed, because Princess Longji's equipment could still block her attacks.
As expected, Cold-Blooded Seventh's hidden weapon was blocked by an invisible aura and bounced back as it approached Princess Longji!
"Fortunately!" Vermilion Bird Emperor was somewhat relieved at this moment, relieved that Princess Longji possessed this item. However, he was also worried, knowing that this item was not invincible and would lose its effectiveness under certain conditions.
Why would the Vermilion Bird Emperor know this? Of course, this item originally belonged to the Vermilion Bird Empire's royal family. The Vermilion Bird Emperor gave it to Princess Longji to protect her from harm outside.
This thing is truly a magical artifact, a protective item used by the Vermilion Bird Emperor since ancient times. Relying on it, the Vermilion Bird Emperor of all ages have escaped countless assassination attempts. Now, the Vermilion Bird Emperor has entrusted it to Princess Longji, which shows how important Princess Longji is to him.
This thing is called the Vermilion Bird Feather Garment. As the name suggests, it is a garment, a very light and thin garment that is almost imperceptible. Basically, people wear it as underwear.
This is a rare treasure, the only one of its kind on the entire continent, and it has made many great contributions to protecting the royal family of the Vermilion Bird Empire.
And now, it's in Princess Longji's hands!
