His voice was thunderous, echoing clearly for everyone to hear. Those who had already charged out, and those who had not, all retreated.
No one could disobey the Emperor's command.
But Yun No. 14 beckoned twenty of the Golden Armor Guards (members of the Secret Sect) to follow Xiao Yunjing. The remaining eighty stayed behind to protect Gu Qingli and the three little ones.
The assassins, seeing Xiao Yunjing, their main target, charging straight at them, flew towards him like madmen.
As both sides met, the clashing of steel immediately filled the air.
Xiao Yunjing swept his sword, and wherever its sword qi passed, assassins were instantly bisected at the waist. He snorted coldly and ordered, "Kill them all. Spare no one."
"Yes."
The order was quickly passed down by Yun No. 14.
With that, they no longer had any inhibitions and just focused on killing.
