Chapter 1173: Chapter 725: Promised Never to Leave Her Again (First Update)

The expected pain did not occur.

An Ning’s eyes flickered slightly.

She saw the sharp sword aimed at her tightly grasped by a hand.

Blood dripped from his palm onto her face.

Xiao Jinxing...

How desperate must one be to rush to her side so quickly and grasp the sword that had already torn her clothes at the chest, holding it firmly without hesitation.

Blood kept flowing...

An Ning opened her mouth.

Before she could make a sound.

A figure in black suddenly appeared behind Xiao Jinxing.

No.

Don’t!

An Ning’s eyes were filled with terror.

She screamed with all her might, "Xiao Jinxing, behind you!"

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes flickered slightly.

His hand holding the sword trembled.

Yet he did not let go.

If he let go.

The sword would directly pierce An Ning’s heart.

And he had said.

He would never leave her again.

"Ah!"

A sword went directly through Xiao Jinxing’s body.

An Ning’s pupils dilated.

Her eyes were fixed on the sword, the sword that pierced Xiao Jinxing’s body, its tip soaked with blood.

All Xiao Jinxing’s blood...

No.

No...

An Ning’s tears fell crazily from her eyes.

"Xiao Jinxing..."

Xiao Jinxing spat a mouthful of blood.

The color of his face visibly fading...

At that moment.

Yuan Kai had already brought his guards to fight the men in black.

More than a dozen men in black were quickly defeated by Yuan Kai’s dozens of elite soldiers.

In no time.

They were all dead under the swords.

Du Jianghong finally arrived too.

Seeing the bodies scattered all over.

Seeing Emperor Daxuan and Empress Daxuan at that moment...

His heart tightened abruptly.

He quickly jumped off his horse.

Almost fell directly onto the ground.

The most feared situation had still happened.

Du Jianghong stumbled over, and upon witnessing the scene before him, he froze completely.

Emperor Daxuan was pierced by a sword.

At this moment, that sharp sword still remained in his body.

He knelt on one knee, one hand supporting his body, the other hand gripping a sharp sword tightly, blood had already stained the entire sword.

And under his protection was Empress Daxuan, who had taken countless arrows, her whole body drenched in blood, not knowing if it was hers or Emperor Daxuan’s, perhaps a mix of both...

At this moment, the two looked at each other.

Yet didn’t utter a word.

As if fearing that speaking would mean saying goodbye.

"Quick!" Du Jianghong quickly reacted, shouted, "Take Emperor Daxuan and Empress back to the camp for treatment!"

Yuan Kai had just finished off all the assassins.

He rode over, heard Du Jianghong’s voice.

His heart tightened suddenly.

So that delicate messenger was Empress Daxuan...

If Emperor Daxuan and Empress died on their turf, even someone as fearless as Yuan Kai couldn’t help but shudder.

Unimaginable consequences.

He vaguely knew that he seemed to have really caused a big problem!

Du Jianghong ordered his trusted aide quickly to assist Xiao Jinxing and An Ning.

"Back to Daxuan!" An Ning suddenly reacted.

Though her tears were ceaseless, her voice was astonishingly calm.

He wouldn’t die.

Xiao Jinxing wouldn’t die.

She could save him.

She reached out, hands covered in blood, helped Xiao Jinxing up.

Though barely able to stand herself, she still managed to support him.

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes seemed to move.

Or perhaps it was just an illusion.

At this moment, he didn’t even have the strength to speak.

Du Jianghong gritted his teeth, without the slightest hesitation, "Take Emperor Daxuan and Empress back to Daxuan!"

"Du Jianghong..." Yuan Kai spoke.

"As if the trouble you’ve caused today isn’t enough?! Yuan Kai, let me tell you, if you dare to obstruct, I will surely take your head!!"

"I’m not obstructing, I mean I will personally escort Emperor Daxuan and Empress back to Daxuan to prevent any more accidents." Yuan Kai quickly explained.

Du Jianghong was somewhat surprised.

"Today’s incident is my fault, if His Majesty and His Highness blame it on me, I will take full responsibility!" Yuan Kai left a word.

Quickly had his men bring over two fine horses.

"Empress Daxuan, I will escort you back to Daxuan. Today’s events happened because of me, if you wish to kill or punish, I will accept willingly!"

An Ning didn’t care about blaming anyone now.

She just wanted to save Xiao Jinxing.

She entrusted Xiao Jinxing to the guards of Yuan Kai, the guards mounted the horse with Xiao Jinxing.
