Chapter 39: The Assassins

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Hachi broke free of her claws, jumped down, and ran towards the distant firelight.

Princess Mingyue arranged the doll and carefully arranged the costumes and hair of the dolls. I walked around the house and said goodnight to the other 12 dolls.

These were sewn by his own hands.

The dolls come in all shapes and sizes. From the beginning of the workmanship is simple and simple, and the appearance is funny, to the present is exquisite and gorgeous, lifelike, witnessing the progress of his baby.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, extinguishing all the candles in the house.

The room was plunged into darkness.

Princess Mingyue stood still, and the soft touch of the puppet's hair came from under her palm.

In the sky, a large cloud obscured the bright moon, and the only light in the room disappeared.

Princess Mingyue hooked the corners of her mouth, and the eyes of the puppet under her palm flashed red.

Suddenly, a black-clad masked man descended from the sky.

The nine-ring knife in his hand flashed with a cold glow, approaching the top of Princess Mingyue's hair.

The man in black secretly uses his internal strength and prepares for a one-hit kill.

However, the strange thing is that just as the tip of the knife was about to touch Princess Mingyue, in the blink of an eye, the princess disappeared, and the tip of the knife pierced into a finely made doll.

Princess Mingyue was already standing behind him.

With nowhere to borrow in mid-air, the man in black could only watch as the knife in his hand passed through the puppet's body, exposing his back to the enemy.

The Nine-Ring Knife clanged, leaving a pit in the floor.

The puppet was torn apart by a strong internal force, and if it was replaced by a person, the internal organs would inevitably be shattered under this blow.

Suddenly, there was a huge pain in the back of the man in black, as if he had been gnawed by some kind of canine.

He snorted, dodged through the tip of the knife to touch the ground, and jumped to the opposite side of Princess Mingyue.

The moonlight was like a note, illuminating an inch in front of them.

The man in black knows that he has lost the best opportunity to assassinate,

Princess Mingyue stood in the moonlight, her body was white, and there was no blood at all.

The task clearly said that this person didn't know martial arts, and he didn't see Princess Mingyue like practicing martial arts.

But why did she dodge his moves, and even wait for him as if she already knew where he was hiding?

The man in black couldn't figure it out, his eyes were fixed on Princess Mingyue, and his left hand reached for his back, grabbing the thing that was still gnawing at his back.

It's a puppet!

The puppet has minced meat and black cloth in its mouth, and its two mouths are covered with blood. Squirming up and down, it looks like he's really eating human flesh.

It's weird!

The monster spat out the minced flesh in its mouth, and its agate eyes flashed red, and it bit at him with its bloody mouth open.

Still coming?

The people in black were shocked in their hearts, how could this little thing have such great strength, it was really like a living wolf dog, looking at the target, baring its teeth and grinning, and never dying.

He raised his hand and threw the puppet into the air, raised his knife and waved, and the copper ring clanged, cutting the puppet at the waist.

The cotton wool filled in the doll flew all over the sky in an instant, slowly falling between the two.

The doll loses its life and lies motionless on the floor.

The man in black sneered and said, "Hmph, carving insect tricks. Today is your day of death! ”

With that, he held the knife in both hands, held it across his chest, and slashed it towards Princess Mingyue's face.

The man in black was fast, but something faster than him bounced into his arm and smacked him.

Bitten again.

The upper body of the doll that he cut off hangs on his arm, tearing off a large piece of flesh.

This momentary pain made his face distort, and he was in a cold sweat.

Princess Mingyue admired the dedicated attitude of this assassin in her heart, and in such a situation, he could still hold the knife steadily, and the angle was not off at all.

But he had come to kill himself, and what little sympathy he had for the Assassin was gone.

Princess Mingyue's face was as cold as frost, and the lotus step moved lightly, and at the same time, commanding all the puppets to fly towards the man in black.

The man in black didn't hit a single blow, and he was horrified in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this Princess Mingyue was a demon girl who could manipulate dolls!

He squinted his eyes, his face was colorless, he was used to licking blood on the tip of a knife since he was a child, what kind of task he hadn't taken, and now this kind of situation that broke his common sense was the first time he had seen it.

Sweeping with a knife, he blocked the puppet's attack, and Princess Mingyue was no longer in front of him.

As the puppet surrounded the assassin, Princess Mingyue came to the window, his face was pale, his lips were pursed, and his fingers drew a circle in the air, manipulating the puppet to continue attacking the man in black.

Tonight's fire is really strange. The severe fire had drawn almost everyone in the Princess's Mansion to him, and the Assassins only needed to deal with a few sporadic guards and maids to get close to him and kill him.

Obviously, the man in black came prepared, and no matter how loudly he shouted at this moment, it would not help.

With such a well-planned plan, there may be more than one killer, and perhaps their reinforcements will be behind them.

The shapeshifting just now made Princess Mingyue feel very tired, and he had to escape.

Princess Mingyue waved her arms, and a doll with rough workmanship jumped in front of her, quickly growing larger, blocking the sight of the man in black.

Want to run?

The black-clothed man snorted coldly, slashed the besieging puppet to pieces, and then raised his knife to step forward and stab the puppet's stomach that had grown to the roof and continued to grow.

No matter what kind of demon you are, I will take your life today!

With a bang, the blade of the knife seemed to have cut something, preventing the trend of stabbing deeply, seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black shouted, the handle of the knife was injected with internal force, the wrist was flipped, and the belly of the puppet was like a balloon, shattering into pieces and flying in all directions,

Through the rain of cotton wool, he saw a rich man in a moon-white robe standing by the window, and outside the window, a white figure carried a skirt and fled in a hurry.

He knew that he had once again lost his chance to succeed,

The person who suddenly appeared in front of him made him feel inexplicable fear, he couldn't feel this person's skill, he didn't notice his appearance, and he couldn't even see that his ****** was twisted like a noodle with the nine-ring blade made of iron, which had broken the countless friends who had accompanied him since his debut.

And the person who made this knife a scrap metal was the pale-faced, handsome boy in front of him.

Hachi threw away the tip of the knife in his palm, hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and asked, "Who sent you?" ”

He wanted to check on the fire in the south, but he met a black-clad masked man sneaking around and followed him back.

The man in black carried two large barrels of oil and sprinkled oil all over the north room where the princess lived.

What a big deal!

Hachi let this person go for the time being, and turned to look for the princess's figure.

Finding Princess Mingyue in time is the most important thing.

"Send you to hell, go ask Hades!"

Holding back the fear in his heart, the man in black set a flag. He knew that if he wanted to catch up with Princess Mingyue, he would have to kill the person in front of him first.
