Yu Yi stood on the other side of the prince but noticed Hao Guang was standing too close. She suspiciously called out: “Captain, why are you standing so close?”
For protecting the prince’s safety, he should stand slightly further away to intercept any sudden attacks. But Hao Guang had already walked within two feet of the prince.
Yu Yi rushed forward two steps and saw a silver light flash in Hao Guang’s hand, stabbing towards the prince’s chest. She quickly extended her right arm and grabbed his wrist.
However, female guards were not allowed to carry weapons. Hao Guang struck first with a fierce momentum. Although Yu Yi caught his hand, being a woman, her arm strength was inferior. Her right hand was pulled by his wrist strength, and despite the knife’s trajectory being slightly skewed, it was still heading towards the prince!
Yu Yi had no choice but to grab the knife blade with her left hand, finally blocking the knife.
Hao Guang, who was originally certain of success, was unexpectedly blocked by Yu Yi. He shook his wrist and simply let go of the knife handle, kicking towards Yu Yi’s abdomen.
Yu Yi, ignoring the cut on her left palm, grabbed the knife handle with her right hand and drew a half-circle, slashing towards Hao Guang’s leg. Hao Guang pulled back his leg and simultaneously grabbed the prince’s collar, dragging him backward. Yu Yi, afraid he would next break the prince’s neck, stepped forward and with the knife tip, stabbed upward from between the ribs, directly into Hao Guang’s chest, hitting his heart.
Warm blood sprayed all over Yu Yi, even on her face.
Smelling the iron-like bloody scent, her hands went soft, and she could no longer push the knife deeper.
She released the knife handle, trembling and stepping back. She watched Hao Guang’s knees soften, then fall to the ground, his body falling straight back.
When fighting the “phantoms” created by the Divine God, she had killed them, and her weapon techniques were always aimed at vital body parts.
More people arrived, all palace guards, forming multiple layers of protection around the prince.
Yu Yi knew she had completed her mission, but she continued to tremble, even after returning to the white room, her body still shaking uncontrollably.
