202: Royal Assassin
Seeing the Black-Clad People leap onto the eaves, Ye Kong's body shifted, and he likewise jumped up.
As soon as he reached the eaves, the Black-Clad People flipped down from the other side again.
Ye Kong thought to himself: This person is agile, not an ordinary thief; I must be extra careful and never underestimate the enemy.
While thinking, Ye Kong rushed over at top speed, quickly arriving at the spot where the Black-Clad People had disappeared.
"Kid, where do you think you're going!"
Ye Kong's words unconsciously exuded killing intent, rapidly spreading.
The Black-Clad People's breathing hitched, and it almost fell to the ground.
Ye Kong seized the opportunity to approach, reaching out to grab again.
This time, Ye Kong's hand firmly grasped the Black-Clad People's shoulder.
The Black-Clad People reacted, trying to twist away Ye Kong's hand, but Ye Kong followed the force closely, not being shaken off, and exerted strength in his hand, twisting its body around to face him.
Just as Ye Kong was about to use his other hand to pull off the Black-Clad People's mask, it immediately moved to block Ye Kong's hand.
Then, the Black-Clad People quickly threw a punch towards Ye Kong's face.
Ye Kong tilted his head, dodging the punch, and at the same time, used force in his leg, kicking towards the Black-Clad People's abdomen.
The Black-Clad People quickly used its hand to block, successfully blocking Ye Kong's foot.
However, Ye Kong's kick was powerful and heavy; although it didn't have Thunder Power attached, it still sent the Black-Clad People flying.
The Black-Clad People let out a muffled grunt, hitting the wall, then shook its hand and flipped back onto the wall's eaves.
Ye Kong's eyes narrowed, and he quickly stepped forward.
Seeing that its escape route was already blocked by Ye Kong, the Black-Clad People had no choice but to flee further into the royal palace.
Its movements were very fast, flying over eaves and running along walls the whole way.
Ye Kong chuckled, activating his True Qi, and flew up.
The Black-Clad People darted and weaved between various walls and buildings, but no matter what, it couldn't escape Ye Kong's sight.
Ye Kong flew in the sky, maintaining air superiority, and the situation below was naturally clear at a glance.
"You can't escape, surrender!" Ye Kong said, feeling very strange in his heart.
This person couldn't even fly, so its True Qi must be insufficient, and its Realm should be very low; how could it have the audacity to come to the royal territory?
It was precisely because this person's cultivation was weak that Ye Kong didn't use any killing moves, wanting to capture it alive using physical techniques.
The Black-Clad People looked at Ye Kong in the sky with alarm, but didn't reply, instead making a leap into the royal prince's residence.
As soon as Ye Kong descended, hovering above the residence, the sounds of guards shouting immediately came from within.
"Assassin!"
"Quick! Protect His Royal Highness!"
The quiet residence quickly lit up with many torches, and the Black-Clad People's figure flashed through the torchlight.
So it was here!
Ye Kong immediately gave chase, covering the distance in a few steps to appear in front of the Black-Clad People.
The Black-Clad People was shocked again, and in that moment of distraction, Ye Kong grabbed its neck, lifting it off the eaves.
The Black-Clad People's feet dangled in the air, held by Ye Kong, and it let out whimpering struggles.
Two teams of guards immediately rushed over.
The guard captain recognized Ye Kong and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Many thanks for Asura Supreme's assistance! This person infiltrated our royal prince's residence with ill intentions!"
Ye Kong chuckled, throwing the person to the ground.
The guard captain immediately said, "Take it down!"
Several guards immediately stepped forward, pointing their long spears at the Black-Clad People.
The Black-Clad People rubbed its neck, coughing several times, and said, "You've got the wrong person!"
Everyone was stunned; why was it a woman's voice?
The guard captain felt strange and stepped forward to remove the Black-Clad People's mask.
With the mask removed, illuminated by the torchlight, the Black-Clad People revealed a delicate face.
The guard captain asked, "You're a woman?"
The Black-Clad woman made a face and said, "I told you, you've got the wrong person!"
At this moment, Wang Jian, protected by two royal powerhouses, approached Ye Kong and the others with his attendants.
"Who dares to assassinate me!"
The guard captain immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, it's a female assassin. Fortunately, with Asura Supreme's assistance, we have apprehended her. Please see, Your Highness!"
Two guards, one on each side, lifted the female assassin from the ground.
The Black-Clad woman struggled forcefully and loudly said, "You've mistaken me! Brother Wang, save me quickly!"
Ye Kong was puzzled; could this person not be a thief or assassin?
As Wang Jian approached, the Black-Clad woman made a face at Wang Jian.
Wang Jian was stunned, swallowed, and then said, "Alright, I understand. All of you may withdraw. Just leave me and Brother Chen here."
The guards looked at each other, not knowing why the prince's attitude had suddenly changed.
"Could it be that the prince found this female assassin's face beautiful..."
"Don't talk nonsense, let's go!"
The two royal powerhouses glanced at Ye Kong, bowed, and left.
Since Ye Kong was there, Wang Jian was naturally safe, and they didn't need to worry.
Although the guard captain was puzzled, he still led his troops away as per Wang Jian's instructions.
Just as Ye Kong was feeling strange, Wang Jian stepped forward and helped the woman up, even patting the dust off her clothes.
"Little sister, what act are you putting on now? If others found out, they'd laugh their heads off!"
The woman, whom Wang Jian called "little sister," playfully stuck out her tongue and said, "Anyway, no one knows it's me."
After speaking, she took a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped her face.
Soon, this "little sister" revealed her original appearance.
It was a very youthful face, but one could vaguely see a good foundation; if she grew up more, she would surely be a beauty.
Wang Jian gave a wry smile, turned to Ye Kong, and said, "This is my little sister, Wang Xinxin. She's sixteen this year and just loves to play tricks. Even Mother can't control her."
Ye Kong looked at Wang Xinxin's lively appearance and couldn't help but think of Ye Liting, who lay in the Heart of Ice.
He sighed and said, "So it's Princess Wang. I apologize for my rudeness."
Wang Xinxin snorted lightly, revealing a proud smile.
Wang Jian frowned and said, "Little sister, you've caused trouble for Brother Chen. Why don't you apologize quickly!"
Wang Xinxin pouted and said to Ye Kong, "I'm sorry."
Ye Kong waved his hand, smiling.
Wang Jian sighed again and said, "Alright, how are you going to go back? Because you always like to run around, Mother even keeps your clothes here at my place."
"Go change quickly, I'll send someone to take you out through the main gate."
Wang Xinxin blinked her eyes, not leaving immediately, but instead turned to Ye Kong.
"Are you really Ye Kong?"
Ye Kong nodded.
"I am."
Wang Xinxin shook her head.
"I saw you on TV clearly able to use all sorts of powerful Spells, so why didn't I see any just now?"
Ye Kong chuckled, teasingly saying, "Those are for fighting bad people. You're not a bad person."
Wang Xinxin's eyes widened, and she put her hands on her hips, striking an angry pose, "Are you treating me like a child! I'm almost an adult!"
After speaking, she snorted and trotted into Wang Jian's residence.
Wang Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead, not knowing what to say about this little girl.
Ye Kong laughed heartily.
His gloomy mood of the past few days was greatly relieved by this interesting "female assassin."
