When The Empress Counterattacks

Things happened so fast.

Earlier I was just talking with my father peacefully but in a blink of an eye I found myself in a situation like this!

Bullets are coming in my direction with a lightning speed. Every shots are accurate and full of killing intent. These mysterious men are really planning to kill me as I saw their business, an assassination.

Yeah, these men in black are assassins who was ordered to kill the young lady, who is currently protected by her bodyguard, the only alive among the others. Bodies of dozens of men was lying in a pool of blood, by their attire, they are the lady's dead bodyguards.

This things are common even in ancient era. People with high standings tend to kill and opposed each other in secrets. If you don't have enough skillful and secret trained people then your life will surely end.

It was just my unlucky day that I was dragged in this situation.

'Since you are planning to kill me, an innocent bystander then don't blame me if you can't handle my retaliation!'

Adrenaline rushed into my system as a familiar feeling engulfed my whole being. I close my eyes because of satisfaction and excitement.

'Hope you'll let me enjoy!'

The strong and handsome looking middle age man and the young lady watch as half of the assassins who was send by their family's enemies started to fire in the same direction. And their target is a young lady just her age! What surprise them the most was how she dodge the bullet agilely, like a graceful cat. Her moves is even faster than the bullets. Then she was astonished by how the seemingly beautiful cat transformed into a fierce and ferocious tigress.

Her eyes was so captivating yet dangerous, it held a deep murderous glint that gives you a chill if you look into it directly. Her gaze is like that of a predator, being stared at by her will make even brave men terrified.

They watch how she pounce, her speed was so fast that they just saw a blur then she appeared into the nearest assassin, her slender and flawless hands formed into an unpredictable arc and hit him in his head, all they heard was a crack, the skull was smashed into pieces by a mere hands. Red liquid splashed everywhere staining the woman's creamy white hands yet she didn't mind it and continue her killing spree.

The assassins was petrified by the brute strength this slim young lass possessed but they covered it by shooting the she devil faster, Ying Lan grinned devilishly and move forward like there aren't bullets approaching her. She removed her pair of pointed heels, with the one in her right hand and the other one in her left. She hold it tightly and leaped upward in an elegant motion and arrived in front of the man who is still firing with great effort. He tried to pulled the trigger when a sharp thing plunged directly on his neck, ending his life not knowing what weapon killed him. But those who see it can't believe of what they are seeing.

She picked up the dead body and use it as a shield and approach the others. With great power and strength she throws the cold dead body to the group of assassins, resulting for them to be distracted and that seconds of distraction was used by Ying Lan and managed to smashed their heads using the same pair of sandals that was now all covered by blood.

'Did the lady used a normal sandal as a weapon and killed the men quickly?'

If they did not see it with their own eyes then they would not believe it yet all of it clearly saw how she did it.

The assassins watch as their companions and teammates was killed one by one by a single young lass. Those circling the two targets even forgot their work and help them eliminate the woman but the result was still the same.

In just an hour, the sixty or more assassins was only left with less than fifteen. They planned to escaped as they already know that they are no match for their opponent but realized that escaping was futile as they heard the young woman's alluring yet chilling voice.

"Did I say that you can leave?!"

"N---..."

The trembling assassin answered but didn't finish his words as the woman's sandals already penetrate his left c.h.e.s.t.

After killing all the threats Ying Lan's body relaxed and felt her throbbing and aching body and muscles.

'This physique is still too lacking and weak.'

Her body swayed and was about to collapse. Ying Lan tried to stay awake but her body can no longer keep up because of overwork.

Before she lost her consciousness, she felt someone carry her painful and tired body.
