The two assassins immediately vomited blood and fell dead to the ground.
"Holy crap!"
Her internal energy was so incredibly powerful. She had only patted the two assassins earlier without using any real force, yet they had vomited blood and died.
Subsequently, to verify her own strength, Leng Ruo Li followed the method Jun Mo Han had briefly taught her on how to utilize internal energy. She first cleared her mind of any distracting thoughts, then gathered the internal energy from all parts of her body into her palm. Targeting a stool not far from her, she raised her hand and effortlessly drew the stool into her palm.
"Wow!"
Her internal energy was truly amazing.
The assassins who were still alive saw that they had provoked such a formidable woman and became somewhat fearful. However, they quickly reminded themselves that they were assassins, and they had the advantage of numbers. Were they really going to back down from a weak woman they hadn't even fought yet?
Thus, they raised their sabers and, in unison, pointed them at Leng Ruo Li, slowly advancing towards her.
Leng Ruo Li sneered at them, raised her hand, and waved it. A gust of palm wind from her sweep sent the assassins flying out of the room's window. They then crashed heavily to the ground, either dead or gravely injured.
Afterward, Leng Ruo Li also tried practicing movement technique and flew out of her room's window. She landed steadily on the ground and then stepped forward, snapping the throats of the surviving assassins.
After she had dealt with the assassins on the ground, Yin Chen and Chu Ming Xuan and the others had just finished resolving the assassins in the inn and came to Leng Ruo Li's side.
"Your Highness Consort, why did your subordinate not see the Prince?" Yin Chen asked, concerned.
"Your Prince is currently detoxifying. This battle tonight will have to be handled by ourselves," Leng Ruo Li said with a serious expression.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a large red sedan chair flying through the air. Strangely, however, the sedan chair was flying back and forth in mid-air without anyone carrying it.
Finally, this large red bridal sedan chair stopped steadily above Leng Ruo Li and the others.
Suddenly, a hoarse female voice, like sandpaper rubbing against a tabletop, came from within the sedan chair: "You damned scumbags! You actually killed so many of my subordinates!"
Before Leng Ruo Li and the others could even react, a sharp and piercing male voice emanated from the sedan chair: "Heh! It's clearly your people's martial arts that were inferior, yet you blame others for killing your subordinates. How laughable."
"You shut up!" the woman retorted angrily.
"Oh! Are you angry now!" the man teased.
Immediately, the two began to quarrel publicly, regardless of the occasion!
At this moment, Yin Chen, standing beside Leng Ruo Li, suddenly said to her, "Your Highness Consort, this is the Sedan Demon, that monster. He is also the second-ranked assassin in terms of martial power within the Dark Night Pavilion. It is rumored that he (she) is even more skilled than the leader of the Dark Night Pavilion, rivaling the Pavilion Master himself. If it weren't for the current leader of the Dark Night Pavilion's insidious use of poison, he would not have become the leader of the Dark Night Pavilion. Your Highness Consort, you should escape quickly while they are still arguing. Just a few of us cannot defeat him. Only the Prince at his peak could defeat him. Otherwise, encountering him means death for all of us."
As soon as Yin Chen finished speaking, with a "bang!", the sedan door automatically opened. From inside, a person wearing red and white attire flew out. This person had two heads sharing one body, yet they were of different genders. One head was male, with long hair that was half black and half white. The other head was female, styled with a beautiful woman's updo. Although both faces were not unattractive, he also had mismatched hands and four legs...
No wonder Yin Chen called the Sedan Demon a monster. With his appearance, the ancient people here would surely consider him bizarre, possibly even treating him as a demon.
However, Leng Ruo Li, a doctor from modern times, knew at a glance that the Sedan Demon was a conjoined twin. Conjoined twins occur on the basis of monozygotic twins, caused by incomplete early division of the fertilized egg. It is a rare congenital malformation, not a monster as Yin Chen described.
"Haha, you youngsters are not bad! I, the Sedan Demon, have been in seclusion for seven or eight years. I didn't expect anyone to still remember me. However, none of you will escape today," the male head said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, the female head shouted fiercely, "Take this!"
Instantly, several red and white silk ribbons flew rapidly from mid-air, like venomous snakes dancing, striking towards Leng Ruo Li and Yin Chen.
"Your Highness Consort, run quickly! Those without internal energy who are struck by the double-colored silk ribbons wielded by the Sedan Demon will have their internal organs injured."
Yin Chen, remembering that the Consort had no internal energy (explanation: previously, the King and Consort had not told Yin Chen and the others about their miraculous encounter in Old Man Gu Zhou's tomb, so Yin Chen and the others did not know that Leng Ruo Li already possessed internal energy), rushed forward to protect Leng Ruo Li. However, to his surprise, he was himself swiftly lifted by the Consort and flew into mid-air, successfully evading the double-colored silk ribbons thrown by the Sedan Demon, and slowly descended to a safe place.
But Chu Ming Xuan and Yin Yi, Yin Er were not so lucky. Due to the extreme speed of the flying ribbons, they were instantly surrounded. Moreover, the ribbons pursued them. Unable to dodge, they were struck by the ribbons.
However, Chu Ming Xuan and the other two, having internal energy to protect them, were not hit in vital spots. They only felt intense pain where they were struck.
Just then, Jun Mo Han's voice came from Leng Ruo Li's system space. He had woken up. Logically, Jun Mo Han would sleep for two hours before waking, but unexpectedly, his physical condition was so good that he recovered in just one hour.
"Li'er, this monster is the Sedan Demon. You, who cannot use internal energy right now, are no match for him. Release me immediately, and I will deal with him," Jun Mo Han said, his brow furrowed.
"Alright, since you are awake, I'll hand this battlefield over to you. But I need to find a hidden place to bring you out," Leng Ruo Li said with a sigh.
She, Leng Ruo Li, was not one to act tough. She also knew that her newly acquired internal energy and skills were not yet proficient. Therefore, she readily agreed to release Jun Mo Han from her space.
Then, Leng Ruo Li made a strange move in front of the others, running back into the inn behind her without a sound, instantly disappearing from their sight.
"Haha, I thought this little girl was capable, but it turns out she's a coward," the male voice of the Sedan Demon mocked.
"Oh, this little girl is so beautiful. Don't tell me you've taken a liking to her? It's just a pity that since we share one body, you can't enjoy the pleasures of normal men and women with other women. How pathetic, haha…" the female voice of the Sedan Demon also mocked the male voice.
