ng's eyes."There's a noise!"A faint rustling sound entered Zhang Liyang's ears, causing him to quickly get up and stand in front of the door to the inner room."Zhang Gonggong," a faint voice came from..."Scale Mail!!"

Xiao He stared at the dark figure opposite him, his expression filled with shock and disbelief.

Lamellar armor, or inner-worn lamellar armor, is extremely complex in its craftsmanship. Moreover, it can withstand a strike from Xiao He Shan, indicating its superior quality.

Without sufficient financial resources and power, it would be impossible to possess such a formidable self-defense tool.

"Hmph~" Although he had been spared death, the tremendous force still strained his chainmail. The shadow let out a muffled groan, and his face beneath the black hood paled slightly.

"If you drop your sword, I'll see how you fight me!"

The shadow calmed the surging blood and qi within him, then charged again, his battle knife gleaming brightly in his hand.

"Without a sword, I can still take your life!"

Xiao He shan did not retreat in the slightest because he had no weapons, instead he clenched his fist and charged towards the opponent.

For a moment, Xiao He Shan was entangled with the shadow, while the other shadows were entangled with the soldiers.

Boom!

There were just too many shadows, and Xiao He's soldiers had been dispersed onto several ships behind. As a result, several of the shadows had already climbed onto the upper decks of the boats.

"Watch out, sir!"

A loud shout came from downstairs, followed by the clash of swords and fire, causing Zhang Liyang upstairs to feel a surge of anxiety.

"He hit Cai Ning!"

Zhang Liyang's qi and blood began to circulate within his body. With one hand, he shielded Mu Yinghua behind him, while the other remained placed across his chest, ready to strike at any moment.

"Ding, the deployment system issues a mission: Repel the invading forces!"

The system's prompt tone also sounded in Zhang Liyang's ear at this time, making Zhang Liyang's eyes light up slightly.

Whoosh!

The wooden window shattered, shards of wood flying everywhere, accompanied by a black shadow leaping in from outside the window!

"Die!"

Seeing the figure entering through the broken window, Zhang Liyang didn't even think, and with a surge of blood energy, he slapped his palm forward. Even to maximize the effect of his attack, the edge of Zhang Liyang's palm flickered with faint red light.

Do not ask Zhang Liyang why he does not distinguish between friend and foe. At this time, anyone who enters the inner room without reporting has the right to be killed by Zhang Liyang, even if they are a friendly soldier!

Because this is Princess Huaqing's inner chamber!

Bang!

With a single palm strike, the black shadow flew back even faster than it had arrived. Blood gushed from its mouth, splashing onto the mask and creating wisps of blue smoke, like pouring a cup of boiling water onto the mask in the depths of winter.

With a single palm strike, he sent his opponent flying back. Zhang Liyang did not jump out to pursue, but instead quickly returned to Mu Yinghua's side, shielding her behind him.

Zhang Liyang's mission was not to attack the enemy, but to protect Mu Yinghua. Zhang Liyang was very clear about this.

Only a black shadow had just flown out of the broken window, but the next moment another black shadow flew back in.

Just like the first time, Zhang Liyang was quick-witted and swift. As the opponent just flipped in, he immediately struck a palm towards them.

Slap!

Zhang Liyang's palm was blocked by the opponent's arms, but the moment it was blocked, a sensation of pain like being burned by flames came, causing the shadow to instinctively retract its arms.

Then another palm strike came, and with the shadow unable to defend itself, it landed squarely on its chest!

Oh!

A heart-wrenching scream tore through the air. Zhang Liyang's palm strike had been like driving a red-hot iron rod into his opponent's body, burning away their sinews and flesh.

In the blink of an eye, the shadowy figure crumpled to the ground, unable to move. From the rising wisps of blue smoke, one could faintly smell a scent of barbecued meat.

Mu Yinghua didn't notice the smell and had no idea where it came from, so she didn't react. However, Zhang Liyang smelled it and felt nauseous. He just suppressed the feeling as the black shadow that jumped in through the window was pressed down.

This time, two dark figures leaped in. After adapting to the darkness of the room, their first sight fell on Mu Yinghua in the corner.

"The target is here, kill her!"

"You dare!"

Zhang Liyang roared with anger, his blood surging within him. His powerful heart began to beat with all its might.

Thump, thump~.

As the sound of a war drum rose from Zhang Liyang's chest, Zhang Liyang launched both his palms forward, striking at the two shadowy figures.

"You're asking for it!"

The shadow wouldn't yield either, raising its battle knife and slashing towards Zhang Liyang.

To be honest, Zhang Liyang was an ordinary person in his previous life. He only got into a few fights when he was young, and after that, he never laid a hand on anyone again.

Just like in his previous life, he lived in the deep palace from a young age and was also an eunuch. He was bullied by others but had no one to bully back.

The only other time I fought someone was outside the barracks last time, with that Imperial Guard soldier.

Even those two palms just now were Zhang Liyang's straightforward attacks, aiming for speed without any semblance of technique.

Faced with the attack of two dark figures, Zhang Liyang's lack of combat experience became apparent.

Whoosh!

A cold light slashed from in front of Zhang Liyang, the icy gleam making his hairs stand on end.

If Zhang Liyang hadn't reacted quickly enough, this strike would have instantly turned Zhang Liyang into a headless ghost.

"Oh, Zhang Liyang!"

Seeing Zhang Liyang in danger, Mu Yinghua cried out in alarm, and her cry also attracted the attention of the two dark figures.

"What a great opportunity!"

Seeing the other party distracted, Zhang Liyang bit his teeth suddenly, stomped hard on the ground, and burst out with all his strength. He moved like an arrow, instantly arriving in front of a black shadow.

"Go die!"

Zhang Liyang struck out with both palms, but the oncoming blades blocked his attack.

But what came as a surprise to the other party was that Zhang Liyang's palms surged with immense force, completely beyond their expectations. The long sword that had been blocking him was struck directly by his palms and smashed into his chest.

Click, click~

The sound of bone cracking echoed, the shattered bones tearing through the shadow's organs in an instant, leaving them riddled with wounds.

grinning face with smiling eyes

Blood splattered, a burning sensation spread from his back, making Zhang Liyang involuntarily grunt.

When a person is injured, they either feel fear and tremble or are provoked to fight back.

The qi and blood within the body transforms into a dragon, surging straight into Zhang Liyang's mind!

A furious backhand strike, both palms shot out like a raging dragon's roar, carrying the intent of hellfire incinerating the heavens. It landed heavily on the opponent's chest just before their blade could strike again.

Under the furious onslaught of his enraged palms, the shadowy figure was launched into the air, shattering an already broken windowpane and leaving a gaping hole in its place. As for the man himself, he ceased to exist the instant he rose skyward.

"Your Highness! Are you alright"

"Zhang Liyang, are you injured Are you alright"

"Your Highness, my tardiness in arriving is most regrettable. Please forgive me." Outside the door, Xiao He Shan's voice could be heard.Jia family.
