Chapter 417: Chapter 417: No One Gets to Leave!
A momentary panic flashed across the womanâs face, but she quickly appeared oblivious, "I... I donât know why the wine is like this either, Iâm just an ordinary waitress!"
"Still pretending!" Chen Xiao suddenly struck out, tearing off her disguise!
"Ahâ" the woman screamed miserably, revealing her true face, with a few bloody scratches on it.
"Sheâs a woman from Yang Country!" Leng Baiyuâs voice was icy.
The appearance and demeanor of women from Yang Country are easily recognizable, distinguishable at a glance.
"Since youâve discovered my identity, I wonât bother pretending anymore." The sweet-looking woman drew two sharp blades from her sleeves, immediately slashing towards the nearest Tang Hengdao!
She was fast, and the trajectory of the sword edge was peculiar, aimed at Tang Hengdaoâs neck, enough for a fatal cut!
"War King Tang, be careful!" Zhao Long quickly warned.
"Showing off in front of a master!"
Tang Hengdao looked disdainfully at the woman in front of him, his expression contemptuous. Although this woman had decent skills, compared to him she was far behind; dreaming of killing him!
However, the people of Yang Country are always treacherous. He feared the blades might be poisoned, and dared not clash head-on but instead disarmed her knives and gave a quick shove!
The woman immediately flew backwards, coughing up blood.
"Brother Tang, youâre too rough; you really donât know how to cherish beauty!" Situ Yu rushed forward, stomping on her, pressing the woman who was about to get up back down, causing her to spit out another mouthful of blood, her breath weak.
"No wonder youâre the elite participating in the Hundred Countries Military Battle from Divine Land this time. I thought I could kill you while you were off guard, but you still discovered me!" The womanâs expression was frenetic, yet instead of panic, she remained incredibly calm.
Chen Xiao stood coldly, approaching her, "It seems you know our movements very well."
"Thatâs right, weâve been watching you for a long time, but never had the chance to strike until now. This was a perfect opportunity, but I didnât expect your vigilance to be so strong." The woman looked venomously at Chen Xiao, "Especially you, Chen Xiao, youâve killed so many of our Yang Country warriors, weâve always wanted justice!"
Chen Xiao shrugged, sneering, "Unfortunately, your delusions are in vain. But Iâm curious, what exactly is your identity? If Iâm not mistaken... the ring on your hand resembles the one Kobe Tian Zhao wears!"
"Are you lovers?"
"Lovers?" The woman showed an arrogant expression, "I am the Princess Consort of Yang! The Princess Consort granted by the Emperor, the marriage witnessed by the whole country! With this identity, do you dare to kill me?!"
"This time, our newly arrived Yang Country delegation consists of top nobles. If we lose even a single hair, our Yang Country will go to any lengths to declare war on you!"
Chen Xiao gazed coldly at the woman, "You say youâre Kobe Tian Zhaoâs Imperial Concubine?!"
"Thatâs right!"
Todoshima Naoko spoke with high and mighty pride, "Our East Island Clan has always been closely related to the Royal Family. Throughout generations, no fewer than ten members of our clan have married into the Royal Family, making us a top family in Yang Country!"
"So itâs the Yang Country Royal Familyâs designated henhouse." Chen Xiao laughed coldly, "I dare to kill Kobe Tian Zhao, let alone a chicken he raises; I donât understand what youâre so arrogant about. Apparently, you still donât realize your current situation!"
Not to mention others, just the identities of Tang Hengdao and Leng Baiyu, if anything happened here, the Shenzhou side would never let these people leave Shenzhou Territory alive!
This Todoshima Naoko, really thought the identity of a Princess Consort of Yang could save her?
At that moment, the room door was suddenly kicked open forcefully!
A woman clad in a luxurious kimono, accompanied by a group of sword-wielding Yang Country warriors, stormed in threateningly.
The kimono womanâs expression was indifferent, carrying an air of arrogance, "Release my sister-in-law immediately, or I, the Princess, will kill you all!"
She waved her hand, and those warriors swiftly drew their swords, exuding a murderous aura.
Chen Xiao was amused on the spot, "Sister-in-law? Are you Kobe Tian Zhaoâs effeminate brother?"
"Thatâs right, Kobe Tian Zhao is my brother, and I am the Imperial Princess of Yang Country, Shenhu Yuezi! Chen Xiao, I know you, youâre the one who killed many of our Yang Country warriors!"
While saying Chen Xiaoâs name, a sense of murderous intent showed in Shenhu Yueziâs eyes.
Chen Xiao understood; it seems these folks aimed at him from the beginning.
And Tang Hengdao and others were dragged into it because of him.
"Release her, thatâs absolutely impossible." Chen Xiao said coldly, "And none of you can hope to escape either."
These people from Yang Country wanted to assassinate them; now that they failed, they thought they could escape, but how could that be possible?
Is Chen Xiao such an easy person to reason with?
