Chapter 1048: Chapter 312: The Valley Master of Medicine Master Valley! The Massacre of the Six Provinces!_5

"Sister, Qingyi is scared!" Qin Xiu’s hand, which was ready to counter, slowly lowered.

Her dizzy head was confused for a moment, and then suddenly a rush of memories flooded her mind. In that instant, she hadn’t recognized this little girl, but now it finally came to her!

At the moment, the little girl was named Lu Qingyin, the eldest daughter of this country. However, being a daughter meant she received no support; she had the status but not the authority. Her power was less than a maid beside the eldest son, and Qin Xiu treated Lu Qingyin as a sister. If there were grievances in the palace, Qin Xiu would help her handle them.

But... why did she attempt suicide? And who is causing a commotion outside? Qin Xiu still didn’t understand, but her heart had finally softened.

Without speaking yet, her eyes quickly scanned this antique-styled room. Qin Xiu saw a sword hanging on the wall. Squinting her eyes, Qin Xiu held little Qingyi with her left arm and grasped the sword with her right, weighing it in her hand, and silently exclaimed, "Good sword!"

The wooden door swung open.

Outside, many unfamiliar soldiers had appeared.

The ground was littered with corpses of various palace maids, some decapitated, others shot through the heart with arrows. The large, flat ground of green stone tiles was now covered with a layer of cruel, bright red blood. The misty rain was heavier, gathering into raindrops along the green bricks and tiles!

"Drip-"

The blood film shattered, the scene as if from a nightmare!

Qin Xiu understood.

She hadn’t thought of it earlier, but seeing these soldiers now, it suddenly came to her. These heavily armored soldiers were from another country. It was clear they launched a surprise attack without declaring war, directly raiding this country’s capital, causing it to fall in a matter of days.

Qin Xiu reconsidered her palace’s location...

"If they reached here, surely no one in front survived." Qin Xiu was silent.

Outside the room was a horrific scene.

The soldiers saw Qin Xiu rushing out holding little Qingyi. They were momentarily puzzled, then their eyes lit up! Judging by Qin Xiu’s attire, she must be royalty! Capturing Qin Xiu would surely be a great achievement!

"Hahaha!"

"Didn’t expect to find a cowardly woman here?"

"This woman is holding a little girl. At a time like this, she still cares for another little girl?"

Immediately, several soldiers wielding spears attacked Qin Xiu!

Though they didn’t recognize Qingyi, they saw Qin Xiu and wanted to claim the credit.

Qin Xiu frowned, putting little Qingyi beside her temporarily. She looked at little Qingyi with calm eyes, and little Qingyi, bewildered, nodded, knowing she shouldn’t run around now even without Qin Xiu saying anything.

The little girl stood dazed in the misty rain, and as she looked at the woman before her, the woman was already charging towards the enemy with the Qingfeng Sword!

Qingyi suddenly covered her eyes, unable to watch.

There were so many enemies, and although her sister was powerful, charging forward now was suicidal. Tears hastily gathered in her eyes; she could already foresee the woman before her dying, her heart filled with utter grief.

Meanwhile, the soldiers opposite wore arrogant expressions. A mere female guard, did she really think she was invincible?! However, an astonishing scene unfolded: the attacks of several soldiers were ineffective, their bloodstained spears couldn’t reach Qin Xiu.

In little Qingyi’s eyes, Qin Xiu’s movements were extremely graceful. Her body brushed past the enemy’s spears and reached the soldiers, catching them off guard. With a flash of the sword, a head rolled onto the ground. Glancing behind, she evaded an attack from the rear.

Her left arm clamped onto an enemy spear, and with a forceful twist, she lifted the soldier’s body into the air!

Steady in a horse stance amidst the bloody rain, she swiftly pierced through the enemy’s chest with unparalleled precision!

The soldier looked incredulously at the woman before him.

In a daze, Qin Xiu was already in front of him, expressionless and calm, her knees slightly bent, body suddenly surged forward, and she struck down two more with another swipe!

Finally, using all her strength, she kicked a soldier, sending him flying over a yard away.

The soldier’s corpse crashed into the ground, bounced twice, and landed like a ragged bag in the corner. His limbs twitched, eyes gradually losing their spark.

"More soldiers have arrived." Qin Xiu observed from afar as even more soldiers filled the courtyard.

A war of attrition wasn’t an option.

She immediately went to little Qingyi’s side, Qingfeng Sword dripping with blood, and held her to run.

Little Qingyi’s eyes were blank. Were the guards this formidable? Had one person really counterattacked and killed so many of them?! How could she be so strong! That was several soldiers, their attacks easily neutralized, and even counter-killed!

Her astonishment completely overshadowed her fear, and little Qingyi stared vacantly at Qin Xiu’s resolute face, her mind blank, unable to think.

Only one thought, drifting in her dazed mind, "Sister... so strong!"

The misty rain gradually intensified, and corpses continued to fall around Qin Xiu as she tried to carve a bloody path.
