Bab 765: Chapter 766 The Prince is Deposed (2)_1

The two Secret Guards didn't dare to slack off, immediately positioned back-to-back, with Nangong Shi shielded in between them. One of them quickly pulled out a firecracker-like object from his waist.

The firecracker exploded with a 'bang' in the air, blooming into a dazzling, eye-catching golden Juhua.

Before the 'flower' landed, the assassins coming from all directions had already arrived at their front, raising their swords mercilessly. Nangong Shi, bred since childhood by his Empress mother as the future crown prince, had naturally exceptional martial arts skills. In the face of life-threatening danger, he too began fighting the group of assailants.

The assailants were all highly skilled and relentless with every vicious slash and stab, especially aimed at the vital points. Were it not for the two exceptionally skilled guards and his own martial arts prowess, he would have been chopped into a pile of meat long ago.
