This Vermilion Bird Feather Garment is actually a very exquisite alchemical item, made of extremely special materials, and embroidered with extremely complex Defense Array. It will automatically defend itself when it receives Battle Qi or magic.
However, the Defense Array is not unbreakable, nor can it be activated forever!
An attack exceeding a certain level of strength can break this formation, but the formation can also weaken the attack. Although it cannot protect the person wearing it from harm, it can buffer most of the attack!
At the same time, if the energy loss is too great and the Alchemy Array cannot replenish its energy in a short time, then this defensive array will also disappear!
That's why Princess Longji used her martial arts skills to dodge and defend, because she knew that the Vermilion Bird Feather Garment could only serve as insurance, not as absolute defense!
Cold-Blooded First was well aware of this, which is why he sent a puppet to assassinate him. Only in this way could he achieve a fatal blow and avoid the current situation.
Assassinating someone like Princess Longji would be an incredibly difficult task, almost impossible without a single, decisive blow, and the price to pay would be enormous!
Now, the Cold-Blooded Group has exposed Cold-Blooded Seventh, the Puppet Girl, and these other individuals!
That's right, these people are from the Cold-Blooded Group. They originally blended in with the guards and didn't usually have any contact with the Cold-Blooded Group, just like ordinary guards. They were a kind of covert operation that wouldn't be activated unless absolutely necessary!
Now, the Cold-Blooded Group has sacrificed the Mach Family and these guards, reaching an unprecedented level of cost. However, this is not the end!
As Cold-Blooded Seventh continued his attack, and Princess Longji retreated, seemingly about to enter a safe area, another unexpected event occurred!
Among the people who rushed over, there was one person who surprised everyone by suddenly attacking Princess Longji. No one expected that he would actually attack Princess Longji!
Could it be that he orchestrated this assassination attempt?
He thrust his sword at Princess Longji lightning speed, aiming for her vital points!
"Long Guang!! You..." Vermilion Bird Emperor roared, but he couldn't say anything more because he didn't know how to say it.
Long Guang was the one who caused the final upheaval, the one who stabbed Princess Longji with a sword. He was a member of the royal family and Princess Longji's own brother, the son of Vermilion Bird Emperor!
However, Long Guang did not belong to the Royal Faction, nor to Princess Longji. He remained neutral and did not interfere in any of the struggles within the royal family.
It is precisely this kind of person who is unexpected, yet everyone seems to find it quite normal, after all, this is a struggle between royal families, and any possibility can arise.
Princess Longji was now unable to dodge this unexpected sword strike. She could only try her best to avoid vital points and pray that her Vermilion Bird Feather Garment would still be usable.
It seemed that even the heavens were helping Princess Longji. She avoided the fatal blow, and the Vermilion Bird Feather Garment was able to exert its final power, neutralizing most of Prince Longguang's sword strike.
However, this only saved Princess Longji from mortal danger; it did not prevent her from being injured. The sword wound left her powerless and seriously wounded!
Prince Longguang's sword remained inside Prince Longguang Princess Longji's body, but he did not stop there. Instead of withdrawing his sword, he used the most time-efficient attack, slapping Princess Longji back towards Cold-Blooded Seventh, where the Cold-Blooded Group's assassination squad was still waiting.
"Pfft..." Princess Longji spat out a mouthful of blood, her injuries worsening. This time, she was about to follow in Cold-Blooded Seventh's footsteps, and what's worse, she would also fall into the assassin's attack range.
"Kill her quickly!" Prince Longguang said coldly, as if he were giving an order to Cold-Blooded Seventh and the others.
Cold-Blooded Seventh and his group ignored this phenomenon; their current task was to kill Princess Longji and complete their mission!
"Long Ji!!"
Vermilion Bird Emperor, Empress Dowager, and others who cared about Long Ji exclaimed in shock. This time, everyone knew that Princess Longji would die; it was almost a foregone conclusion!
Everyone present now seems to be wondering why it was Prince Longguang who assassinated Princess Longji.
As for the reason why Princess Longji was assassinated, there's basically no need for anyone to think about it. Everyone knows that Princess Longji had many enemies and many people wanted her dead, but no one found the opportunity.
This time, if Princess Longji hadn't come alone, if she hadn't accidentally strayed too far from everyone, if someone hadn't known beforehand that she was wearing the Vermilion Bird Feather Garment, if...
Princess Longji could not have been assassinated without a series of coincidences!
This time, everything seemed to be aimed at killing Princess Longji. Even the Vermilion Bird Emperor and Empress Dowager had ulterior motives, not to mention the others.
"Is it fate? Perhaps I should have let go of all this long ago..."
Princess Longji looked down at everyone from the air. The whole world seemed to be moving in slow motion, and this was perhaps the last time she would see the world!
She knew that she couldn't escape the attack from those people and Cold-Blooded Seventh; either one could kill her!
At this moment, memories of the past flashed through her mind, from childhood to adulthood, including family and friends...
"Actually, death is not scary!" Princess Longji seemed to have figured it out in the end, and it seemed that there was nothing in this world that she couldn't let go of.
Although she possessed enviable power, she never clung to it, not even in the slightest!
Relatives? Her parents, though she felt attached to them, she knew they would be taken care of, and that it wouldn't make much difference whether she was there or not. Even if she wasn't there, she would have her other brothers and sisters.
Brothers and sisters? That's even less likely. Don't forget, among those who killed her were her brothers!
At this moment, Princess Longji seemed to give up, peacefully accepting the attacks from those behind her, while the assassins' swords were already close to her body, along with Cold-Blooded Seventh's hidden weapons...
"Long Ji..."
"Don't want..."
Those who cared about Princess Longji let out heart-wrenching screams, while those who wanted Princess Longji dead were now excitedly anticipating it, wishing time would pass quickly so that Princess Longji could die sooner!
"Goodbye..."
Princess Longji closed her eyes, and as she did so, a naive, innocent face appeared in her mind. She suddenly realized that there were still people she couldn't let go of—
