"Sigh, ma'am, go kill your princess, why are you messing with me?" Sun Fei sighed inwardly, really wanting to say this to this crazy woman named Paris: "Your real mission is to kill the princess, why aren't you doing your job and messing with my woman? Go back to your promising career as an assassin."
"Release Angela, and I swear in the name of the King that I will never interfere in your affairs again."
Sun Fei stared into Paris's alluring eyes and finally gave his terms.
Clearly, this alluring woman had been preparing for this assassination attempt against the princess for an unknown period of time. However, just before the execution of the plan, Sun Fei, a Four-Star Class expert, suddenly appeared out of nowhere. In other words, Sun Fei's growth rate was too fast, exceeding the contingency plan of Paris. No one had ever jumped from the Three-Star Initial Stage to the four-star level in just a few days.
Perhaps at any other time, a mere Four-Star Class expert wouldn't be enough to make someone like Paris take him seriously, but in this particular plan, she simply couldn't afford to ignore him.
This assassination attempt was a high-stakes gamble for both the princess and Tanasha. They had to meticulously plan every step, having painstakingly considered every detail and connection point of the plan thousands of times over. As the two most intelligent women in the capital, Zenit, they understood better than anyone that in this tightrope walk, even the smallest variable could instantly overturn the entire plan's outcome, and failure would mean certain death.
The real background is actually quite simple--
Taking advantage of the new King's coronation and investiture in Chambord City, Princess Tanasha used herself as bait, while the alluring Paris used a scheme against her. These two women, the most renowned in Saint Petersburg, both wanted to use this opportunity to kill each other, to give the two people behind them a chance in the future struggle for the throne. Time was of the essence; this was almost their final showdown. In their years of struggle, they had become very familiar with each other's strength and methods. Originally, their strength was in a delicate balance, like two people in a hand of cards, with roughly equal hands. But if one of them suddenly and inexplicably gained an extra card like Ace, the outcome would be predictable.
The fact that Paris could contend with Tanasha, who was known as the " Female Literary Sage," for so long shows that she is not a woman with big breasts but no brains. On the contrary, she is extremely meticulous and very formidable.
The moment he appeared on the King's altar, he stirred up a drastic change in Sun Fei's emotions with just a few words, and also discovered Sun Fei's true weakness—only by controlling that woman could Sun Fei, this variable, no longer affect the course of the battle.
That's why, at the very moment of attack, they suddenly launched an attack instead of targeting the princess, surprisingly choosing the Resist Angela instead.
Paris succeeded.
At least for now, she has indeed taken everything into her own hands, successfully restraining the 'variable' at minimal cost, preventing His King from helping the Princess in the slightest. As time slowly passes, the balance of the battle atop East Mountain in Chambord City is gradually tilting in favor of the assassins.
What a terrifying woman.
It was only in that instant that Sun Fei vaguely understood Paris's true purpose.
That's why he started to set conditions.
but--
"Hehe, King, I won't release your woman, and you can't do anything about it. Why would you release her just because of a casual remark..." A hint of surprise flashed in Paris's eyes. She hadn't expected the King to realize her intentions so quickly. However, no matter what, she wouldn't release her. Compared to so-called empty promises or vows, Paris, who had experienced unimaginable mysteries, preferred to have everything truly under her own control.
Sun Fei was stunned; he hadn't expected this woman to be so stubborn.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable for both the Princess and Sun Fei. In fact, it can be said that the two are interdependent. If the assassins kill all the experts on the Princess's side, Sun Fei and his companions will certainly not escape with their lives.
Sun Fei frowned.
Just then, Angela, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke. Her voice was chillingly calm. " Alexander, if you can do it, kill this woman and avenge me and Jima..." As she spoke, a trickle of crimson blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, her beautiful, swan-like neck drooped limply, the girl's delicate body slumped backward, and her wisp of soul drifted away in the golden morning sun, instantly losing its breath.
" Angela!!!"
Sun Fei roared, his heart pounding, like a mad lion. A blue and a purple light flashed in his hands. He stomped on the ground, and with a thunderous crash, the boulder beneath his feet shattered into a shocking, downward-facing depression. The Purple and Azure Twin Swords transformed into a storm of blades, sweeping towards Paris with an aura of death and madness.
Paris was also slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected the woman in her arms to be so fierce, suddenly chewing her tongue and committing suicide. She could feel the girl's heart slowly stopping beating inside her delicate body. A strange emotion welled up in her heart. She sighed softly and pushed Angela's body outwards towards Sun Fei.
"Here you go... I didn't actually intend to kill him."
Paris vanished in a flash, her voice reaching Sun Fei's ears. This powerful and ruthless woman had surprisingly offered a defense of herself; perhaps this was an exception for her.
Sun Fei sheathed his Purple and Azure Twin Swords and, in mid-air, embraced the woman's delicate body.
" Little Black!!" Sun Fei shouted.
Woof woof woof woof!!
A loud bark suddenly shattered the mournful wails echoing from the summit of East Mountain, reaching everyone's ears clearly. To everyone's astonishment, a massive black dog appeared beside Sun Fei like a streak of black light. Sun Fei placed Angela's corpse on the Big Black's back, gave it a gentle pat, Big Black barked twice before transforming into a black Whirlwind and vanishing from the summit of East Mountain.
"Die!"
Sun Fei suddenly turned around, glanced at the fiercely fighting crowd, and abruptly Summon the Purple and Azure Twin Swords. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he leaped into the air above the strange yellow scimitar swordsman who was slaughtering Zenit cavalry. The Purple and Azure Twin Swords, with the immense power of Mount Tai, slammed down on the twin swords.
Boom!
A tremendous roar followed, and a cloud of dust billowed into the sky. The two swordsmen had no chance to Dodge. They barely managed to parry the Purple and Azure Twin Swords with their curved blades when they felt an overwhelming and irresistible force emanating from the blades. Their knees buckled simultaneously, and they collapsed to the ground with a thud. Half of their bodies were instantly driven into the earth as if nails had been driven into them, and blood gushed from their mouths.
Having succeeded in one move, Sun Fei's face turned icy, his killing intent palpable, showing no mercy.
Then, he swiftly launched two more kicks, aiming for the chests of the two swordsmen who hadn't yet managed to get up. The insteps of his feet crushed the air, producing a deafening boom. If this kick had landed, even a boulder would have shattered, and the two would have had no chance of survival. Terrified, the two swordsmen instinctively held their curved swords horizontally in front of their chests and pushed their hands outwards to protect their vital organs. They were then kicked directly from the rubble by Sun Fei's immense force, flying off the shattered King altar, spitting out blood.
"Get the hell out here!"
After kicking away two swordsmen, Sun Fei stomped his foot, and countless cracks and fissures bloomed beneath his feet like spiders. The entire shattered King altar began to tremble uncontrollably, and the immense force pierced directly through the earth.
The next second, a bright orange flame flashed, and the earth-elemental assassin who had been lurking underground, occasionally launching sneak attacks and sabotage, screamed as he crawled out from among the rubble. He had been crushed to death by Sun Fei's kick, which had stomped right through the ground, rendering him essentially incapacitated. He fled for his life...
The eldest princess, who had been hidden within the cavalry's protective perimeter, also showed a surprised expression upon seeing this scene.
Enraged, Sun Fei unleashed incredible fighting power, showcasing the terrifying physical strength of a level 21 Barbarian. As the saying goes, brute force can overcome any technique; faced with such brutal strength, these Dou Qi arts masters didn't even have time to execute their fancy moves before being forced to vomit blood and retreat in defeat.
In an instant, the three assassins were no longer a threat.
The situation on the battlefield changed abruptly.
The alluring woman Paris, who was originally fighting alongside the sword-wielding assassin against the purple-clad girl Ziyan, saw this scene. A hint of anger and anxiety appeared on her captivating face. In a flash, she abandoned the purple-clad girl and took the initiative to meet Sun Fei's attack. Her slender hands were wrapped in azure flames. With a gentle push, two azure lights transformed into divine birds with flapping wings and long cries. Their wings were like daggers and their beaks like knives, sweeping wildly towards Sun Fei.
Wherever the azure divine bird passed, the earth cracked, corpses flew wildly, and boulders collapsed, creating an extremely terrifying spectacle.
Sun Fei burst into laughter.
With the Barbarian skills [ Gravity Strike ] and [ Double Swing ] stacked together, the Purple and Azure Twin Swords transformed into a storm of blades, accompanied by sharp, heavy metal whistles, and Sun Fei charged headlong into the divine bird.
Finally, the azure divine bird and the Purple and Azure Twin Swords collided violently.
Boom!
The entire mountain peak began to shake during this exchange.
A massive shockwave erupted, sweeping those standing nearby away like straw in a hurricane. No one had the strength to struggle. Debris, dust, blood, and weapons spun wildly in the air, forming a strange tornado. Within a ten-meter radius of Sun Fei and Paris, everything seemed to be constantly being broken down, turning into fragments and dust...
A beautiful storm.
Third update.
Brothers who like Angela, please don't curse or be impatient.
