The elite bodyguards who were originally rushing towards Princess Xinyang were almost instantaneously thrown aside by a fearsome surge of internal force; no one saw how the man who suddenly appeared made his move. By the time everyone had reacted, they had all been simultaneously knocked down next to Princess Ning An.
You should know these were experts brought from the border fortresses. Although they were not as formidable as the Dragon Shadow Guard, they were no ordinary fighters, yet they were so easily defeated by the opponent, like wilted flowers carried away by the current.
Princess Ning An was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Moments later, she recognized the mask of the Dragon Shadow Guard on the man's face.
But wasn't this strange?
She had seen all four of the Emperor's Dragon Shadow Guards; not one of them was as tall and fierce. Moreover, with one dead and three still recovering from their injuries, it was impossible for them to be in action.
