Su Muyao's fingers moved, and the soft sword at her waist instantly darted out like a silver snake. Her form was even faster, landing before the Empress like a bolt of lightning. The soft sword, wrapped in sword qi, swung out, blocking the assassin's killing strike, thus protecting the Empress.
The hidden guards beside the Empress tangled with two of the Level 9 experts, and Su Muyao needed to immediately deal with these two Level 9 experts.
In the instant Su Muyao shielded the Empress, the soft sword swept horizontally, forcing them to retreat.
Immediately after, she wielded the soft sword with swift precision, aiming directly for the leading assassin's throat. Simultaneously, she pulled out her hairpin to stab another Level 9 assassin.
