Holy Beast Saintess 64 Injured

The attacks were done by low rank cultivators and mortals so it was no surprise that their attacks did not kill the guards.

However because of them being much lower in strength the guards had ignored them as they were no threat to them but in such a crowded s.p.a.ce with poor visibility the chances of picking someone out of the crowd would be difficult.

If it was a higher ranked cultivator mixed in within the crowd then the guards would of noticed sooner there was a problem.

Even a cultivator can be killed by the blade of an ordinary person if they let down their guard.

The prince was surprised by the sudden attack, he would never think that he would be targeted at this moment.

His thoughts had been on how much money he would spend on curing his sister and what he would gain from doing so.

Although the guards kept a tight formation around the prince and princess the sudden attack was mostly aimed towards the guards.

In response the four guards grabbed onto the wrist of those holding the blades in their body with one hand and with the other punched towards their heads killing them instantly.

The head guard suffered the least damage grabbed the remaining man who attacked and held him down. "Who sent you!?"

The sudden events of the attack and counter attack caught the eyes of some in the crowd and some began to push and panic.

The guards drew out their swords from their waist as did the head guard.

"Back off!" The head guard shouted as he spotted something wrong, the crowd of people were in chaos and b.u.mping into eachother and he noticed more people heading towards his location.

The crowd however grew more fl.u.s.tered at the sight of blood and the dead bodies.

Some people fell and were stepped on by those trying to get away.

Others began to shout at the top of their lungs and scream. "Murder! Murder!"

The head guard grew restless and looked at the man who attacked him. "Not going to answer then fine!"

He cut off the mans head with one swing of his sword. "Hurry and remove the blades from your bodies and cover up the wounds right away, there are more coming!"

Removing the blades from their bodies, blood began to come from their wounds while the knife wounds were not too deep for 3 of them they could only use some cloth to bandage themselves instead of closing the wound.

The remaining person removed the sword from his stomach while gritting his teeth because of the pain.

The short sword had stabbed deep into his stomach and left a large wound much bigger and deeper than the others which was very fatal to him if left alone for too long.

Even more fatal now that he could not get treated immediately because of the current situation and the increasing blood loss.

The guards covered their wounds and walked quickly through the dispersing and chaotic crowd.

The head guard kept an eye out for those he had spotted earlier, making sure to keep a distance from anyone who could be a threat.

The princess who had a weak body fell to the ground due to the excessive movement and unfamiliar environment. "Ah!"

The prince halted and pulled her back up to her feet with a little force due to his annoyance.

"Your highness we have to keep moving forward, if we head back now we could be caught up in the busy crowd again. We cannot protect you with so many people around us." The head guard was quite fl.u.s.tered at the sight of the group having to stop.

The prince looked at him with a frown. "I know, just hurry and get us to safety. Once I am back home I will find out who dared to plan an attack on this prince and I will execute their entire family!"
