Chapter 898: Iron-Blooded Army's Camp!
It made sense for Tang Li Xue to have reached her limit after she went through the excruciating evolution process to [Rare] Grade Beast, fighting and running away from the strange creature, then falling into Void Space and dying four times because of it.
Not to mention that she was also tortured by unbearable pain and felt extremely feeble and powerless because of her current badly damaged body.
Just when Tang Li Xue's consciousness felt blurry, and she almost passed out...
PUUUUFF~!
One of the assassin's flying daggers managed to lodge deeply into the Third Prince's left thigh!
"Urgh..." The Third Prince grimaced in pain, but he still did not slow down his running speed at all.
Tang Li Xue realized that the Third Prince got injured because she could not warn him on time just now.
"I am sorry... But it seems I really can not stand it anymore... You can just leave me behind if you..." Tang Li Xue's alluring feminine voice became fainter and weaker, then she fainted completely before she could even finish her words.
"Young Miss, is there something wrong?! HEY~!" The Third Prince yelled to ask Tang Li Xue in a tone filled with worry, but Tang Li Xue could no longer answer his question since she had already passed out.
Despite that, the Third Prince surely could not stop to check Tang Li Xue's condition or if she got wounded by those assassins' attacks, so the Third Prince gritted his teeth and continued to run away from those assassins who kept persistently chasing after him.
PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~!
Without Tang Li Xue's help, the Third Prince clearly could no longer perfectly avoid those assassins' tricky sneak attacks as perfectly as before.
When those assassins threw so many flying daggers toward the Third Prince from time to time, their flying daggers managed to stab deeply into his arms, tights, legs, and even his stomach, and shoulders.
The Third Prince's running speed slowed down rapidly as he suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous.
"Oh, crap... These flying daggers are actually poisonous!" The Third Prince angrily cursed.
"This is it~! Your Highness Third Prince, please die now!" Several assassins took this chance to get close to the Third Prince while brandishing the killer blades in their grasp toward the Third Prince's vital points such as his neck!
PUUUUUUFFF~!
The fresh blood was gushing out like a fountain, but it was not the Third Prince's blood nor Tang Li Xue's blood!
Dozens of arrows suddenly flashed in the Third Prince's direction from above, but they perfectly hit those approaching assassins' foreheads instead.
More than a hundred people in black metal armor landed from the sky, and they lined up neatly around the Third Prince and the assassins.
"Those people are... Iron-Blooded Army~!" One of the black-clothed assassins shouted with fear and panic in his tone.
"Greetings to Your Highness Third Prince! What should we do to these rats, Your Highness? Should we catch them all, so we can interrogate who is behind them later?" The captain of the Iron-Blooded Army saluted the Third Prince and asked in a cold and solemn tone.
"No, I have enough of these basta*rd. Just kill them all as soon as possible." The Third Prince replied in a cold tone filled with killing intent.
"Understood, Your Highness~!" The Iron-Blooded Army yelled in unison as they unsheathed their weapons and charged toward the assassins in unison.
At first, there were around fifty black-clothed assassins who attacked the Third Prince, but the Third Prince already killed more than ten of them before he met with Tang Li Xue leaving only around thirty of them or so.
In short, the thirty assassins definitely would not be able to defeat more than a hundred Iron-Blooded Army who were equipped far better than them, and the Iron-Blooded Army even used advanced battle formation to deal with them.
Rather than fight, it should be called a one-sided massacre instead since their battle was over in less than one minute as those thirty assassins got torn apart so quickly by the Iron-Blooded Army.
The captain of the Iron-Blooded Army did not even need to join the battle. He busily treated the Third Prince's wounds and poison instead, while the Third Prince carefully checked Tang Li Xue's condition in great worry.
After checking a few more times and making sure that Tang Li Xue was not injured by those assassins' poisonous flying dagger attacks, the Third Prince finally sighed in relief.
Then the Third Prince gently caressed Tang Li Xue's fair and smooth cheek with his fingers while kept staring at her with a gaze filled with admiration and obsession.
The captain of the Iron-Blooded Army was also intoxicated by Tang Li Xue's peerless beauty for a while when he saw her, but he quickly lowered his head and no longer dared to take a glance at her.
The captain of the Iron-Blooded Army hastily urged the Third Prince after he treated the Third Prince's poison and wounds: "Your Highness, this subordinate thinks we should go back to the military camp as soon as possible before something untoward happens again."
The Third Prince frowned displeasantly, but he knew that the captain of the Iron-Blooded Army's words were right.
Despite his injuries, the Third Prince still carried Tang Li Xue by herself, but this time, he did not carry Tang Li Xue on his back like before, but in princess carry.
The captain of the Iron-Blooded Army took out the luxurious palanquin from his spatial ring, then the Third Prince carried Tang Li Xue to get on the palanquin.
Inside the palanquin, the Third Prince put the unconscious Tang Li Xue gently on the soft seat with her head resting on his lap.
The luxurious palanquin was lifted by the people from the Iron-Blooded Army, then they flew swiftly toward the military camp.
The military camp was quite far away from the Nightmare Forest, and it took at least an hour to reach there, but the journey was really safe with the Iron-Blooded Army's escort.
After they went back to the military camp, the Third Prince immediately called several female servants to bathe the fainted Tang Li Xue and change her clothes since she was stained by the Third Prince's blood when he carried her on his back.
Then the Third Prince let military physicians check Tang Li Xue's condition.
When the Third Prince heard the military physicians' report about Tang Li Xue's condition, he instantly frowned deeply in displeasure and worry.
"There is strange destructive energy wreaking havoc in her body, so you can do nothing to cure her illness?" The Third Prince again in a colder tone.
"We are incompetent, Your Highness, but we have already tried our best. Please forgive us!" The military physicians hastily knelled down and kowtow to ask for the Third Prince's forgiveness. while trembling in fright.
The Third Prince waved his hands to drive all the military physicians out of Tang Li Xue's tent in annoyance.
The Third Prince sat right beside Tang Li Xue's bed while carefully pondering what he had to do next in order to cure Tang Li Xue's illness.
"It seems I can only bring her back to the Imperial Palace, and let Imperial physicians find a way to cure her." The Third Prince muttered his decision.
Compared to military physicians who could only treat injured soldiers, Imperial physicians were definitely far more skilled and capable since they had to treat the members of the Imperial family such as princes, princesses, consorts, queen, and even the emperor.
However, the Third Prince did not rashly bring Tang Li Xue to the Imperial City. He patiently waited for Tang Li Xue to wake up in order to ask for her opinion first.
Who knew that it would actually take several days for Tang Li Xue to regain consciousness?!
When Tang Li Xue opened her topaz blue eyes and found herself in such an unfamiliar environment, her body instantly tensed, and she reflexively tried to get out of bed.
"Hiisss~! Ouch, ouch, ouch... It is so damn painful~!" Tang Li Xue grasped in pain as cold sweat began to drench her forehead, and she slumped back limply onto the bed.
"Please be careful, Young Miss!" The female servants who guarded inside the tent instantly panicked because of Tang Li Xue's sudden move.
They knew that this unbelievably beautiful fox girl was the Third Prince's favorite woman because the Third Prince always came to check and faithfully accompanied right beside her in these few days even though she was still unconscious.
If something bad happens to her, they will definitely beheaded on the spot today!
One of the female servants also hastily ran out of the tent to inform the Third Prince.
When the female servants helped Tang Li Xue to sit on the bed, Tang Li Xue asked them in a faint and weak voice: "Where is this?"
"Report to Young Miss. This is the Iron-Blooded Army's camp." One of the female servants politely replied to Tang Li Xue with a trembling tone.
"Iron... What?! Army's camp?!" Tang Li Xue murmured in confusion.
It took a while for her to realize what had happened.
'Ah, I get it... It looks like that guy somehow managed to get away safely from the assassins' pursuit, and then he should bring me here after that.' Tang Li Xue concluded in her mind.
The female servant nodded at Tang Li Xue and explained again: "Iron-Blooded Army's camp is located on the south border of the Great Wei Dynasty in Azure Mist Continent."
Tang Li Xue: "???!!!"
Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes as she stared at the female servant with a pair of eyes filled with shock, disbelief, and astonishment.
"Eh, what? Eeehhh, EEEEEHHHHHH~?! Azure Mist Continent?!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise.
