In the Divine God’s residence, the Divine God had created many “phantoms” to help her become familiar with combat techniques. She had felt each strike actually hitting it and had even been struck by the “phantoms”, feeling pain. However, she remained relaxed knowing these “phantoms” were not real and would disappear once completely defeated.
Now, this was her first real human combat, and she was nervous, her movements stiff. After exchanging a few moves, Yu Yi discovered her opponent’s skills were similar to hers, roughly akin to her practice with “phantoms”. She gradually loosened up, and after another dozen moves, she knocked down her opponent, pressed her knee on his back to prevent him from turning over, and dislocated his shoulder joints.
Qing Tong was still fighting another black-clothed person. Yu Yi saw that the opponent was not gaining the upper hand, so she did not help, instead protecting the prince’s side and nervously scanning the surroundings. At this moment, two miserable cries came from the washroom, and then a black-clothed person rushed out directly towards Yu Yi and the prince.
Qing Tong shouted: “I’ll block here, you protect the prince and leave!”
The prince had already put on his pants, so Yu Yi protected him as they left together. She quickly recalled the layout of the prince’s residence and decided to go to the banquet hall, which was crowded and nearby, with many guards.
Approaching the banquet hall, the prince began calling: “Help! Assassins!”
Yu Yi frowned but could not stop him. Although they were not far from the banquet hall, his shouting would summon guards and might attract assassins. However, as a female guard, she could not stop the prince from shouting.
Two figures flashed ahead, and Yu Yi tensed up but then recognized they were wearing guard uniforms. The guard captain knelt down: “I am Hao Guang, the guards are late. Please forgive us, Your Highness!”
The prince recognized him and nodded: “It was sudden, it’s not your fault. Rise. Call more guards, there might be more assassins.”
“Yes!” After Hao Guang stood up, he quietly instructed the guards behind him to call for reinforcements and walked to the prince’s side. “I will protect Your Highness to the banquet hall.”
