Chapter 413 - Bloody Night
Despite her dire circumstance, Cornelia didn't show a look of despair. A grim smile was plastered on her beautiful face. She then stared at the robed individuals while trying to identify them.
"It seems like the two nobles families are truly hell-bent on killing me!" She muttered without hiding her disdain towards them.
"Did you really think that I wouldn't notice that you're trying to buy time? Your Highness, you underestimate us too much." The person who seemed to be the leader of these assassins mocked her.
Hearing this, Cornelia's heart sunk. She then activated her illusion art to its maximum power, while also covering her body with true essence and anma. After observing these robed figures, she could tell that all of them were at least Nascent God Realm experts! As for their leader, she couldn't sense his cultivation level, but he should be at the Origin God Realm!
"Kill her! Don't underestimate her just because she is injured! Balmond might have given her a few defensive items!" The leader shouted with a cold look.
"Kill!"
"Die!"
Cornelia could only stare helplessly at the dozens of individuals dashing towards her. Even so, she still did her best to parry their attacks.
More injuries covered her body as the battle continued.
This time, the leader could no longer hold back his impatience.
"A bunch of useless trash! You guys couldn't even handle an injured little girl!" He scowled as he pounced towards the weakened Cornelia.
Suddenly, the eyes of the assassin leader constricted as he lifted his dagger.
Clang!
He was thrown back several meters before he managed to stabilize in midair. He then stared at the white-haired little human girl that launched a sneak attack on him. When he sensed the cultivation level of the little girl, the assassin leader was stunned.
Origin God Realm!
The other assassins were also startled when they saw the sudden turn of events. They couldn't believe that a little girl actually managed to push back their leader with one move!
Cornelia stared at the white-haired little girl with surprise. Isn't this the little child who was always in Jiu Shen's embrace? She was actually an expert at the Origin God Realm!
Aside from being shocked, the succubus also felt relieved in her heart when she saw the appearance of the little girl. This time, she might be saved!
Ice turned her gaze to the injured Cornelia and handed a bottle of medicine to her.
"You stay there obediently and wait for me." Her cute voice traveled to the succubus' ears like a soothing melody.
Cornelia unconsciously nodded her head while accepting the bottle of medicine. She then unhesitatingly consumed it.
"Why is a savage beast like you involving yourself in the internal affairs of the Great Demon Empire?! You might be strong, but there are more than a dozen of us here! You think that you can stop us by yourself?" The assassin leader glared at Ice with a baleful look. He sensed that this little girl was a savage beast based on the structure of her true essence.
Ice stood in front of Cornelia and smiled at the assassins, showing them her two rows of pearly white teeth. "Even if I'm alone, I could still defeat useless pieces of trash like you guys! However, I didn't come on my own this time. I brought a few helpers with me! Hehe!"
Hearing this, the assassins became alarmed and they could not help but glance around the forest. It was then that they noticed two strong auras.
Not long later, two figures slowly came into their sights.
One was an elegant woman with long purple hair. The other one was a man with similar hair color. They were Long Meili and Aren! Both of them were also at the Origin God Realm!
The assassins became nervous when they discovered the hovering figures. It was especially true for their leader since he could feel the cultivation bases of these two people. Their power was as strong as him!
Cornelia's eyes lit up when she saw the two figures. She recognized them since she had seen them a few times in the lotus building. They were Jiu Shen's subordinates!
'It seems like that guy ordered them to protect me in secret while my father is still away...' She muttered in her heart gratefully.
"What's wrong? Are you nervous now, demon? Hehe!" Ice smiled mockingly at the assassin leader.
The assassin leader gritted his teeth and immediately released his anma as he shouted to his subordinates. "Escape in different directions! If you survive, report the situation to the Demon Emperors!"
The assassins immediately dashed in different directions after hearing their leader's command. They were assassins trained by the two noble families for many decades and they were many times stronger than most Nascent God Realm experts. They activated their escape arts to flee with their fastest speeds!
Seeing this, Long Meili raised her hands and released an invisible and boundless spiritual force that enclosed the entire forest. The fleeing assassins immediately sensed the abnormality and when they tried to leave the forest, they soon noticed that there was an invisible force that trapped them!
"Good job, Sister Meili!" Ice giggled as she flashed a toothy grin towards Long Meili.
The dragon girl shook her head with a smile before she turned her head towards Aren. "You can take care of the rest."
Aren nodded his head at her with a confident look. He then disappeared to hunt the assassins one by one!
"Too bad! Now, I won't have the opportunity to exercise my fists! I shouldn't have told you guys to come with me..." Ice muttered with regret as she punched the air with her little fists.
"You will have every opportunity in the future, Little Sister Ice..." Long Meili rubbed her head gently with a smile.
Cornelia stared speechlessly at the two figures hovering above the clouds. Those strong assassins immediately fled when they noticed that they couldn't defeat the three. They were too strong!
It was destined to be a bloody night for those assassins....
