Chapter 803: Fierce
Xu Wei came here looking for trouble.
Furthermore, even if he wasn't intentionally looking for trouble, with this attitude, if he just stood there silently doing nothing and slunk away, he wouldn't be able to hold onto his position as head guard. Everyone would ride roughshod over him.
"I am the prince's personal bodyguard commander, what are you, to dare speak to me like this!?"
Xu Wei's face contorted in fury as he roared.
But the assassin disguised as a guard became even more aggressive, without saying a word, he directly drew his sword and slashed.
This slash, however, was still somewhat measured. It aimed at Xu Wei's feet, indicating that the intention wasn't to kill but rather to force him back.
Xu Wei's eyes flashed, anger mingled with murderous intent surging through his brain in an instant.
He lifted his leg to dodge the blade, standing still as a statue, stomping his foot on the ground. He landed a kick on the back of the blade, deflecting it away. Xu Wei wasted no time, drawing his waist knife without a word and slashing at the assassin's neck.
Bang!!!
Two steel blades clashed in mid-air, sparks flying and a clear, sharp clang echoing through the air.
Their eyes met, both seeing the surge of murderous intent in each other's gaze.
In the blink of an eye, steel blades clashed six or seven times in rapid succession. The two figures darted and weaved, their movements so swift that it was impossible to tell who had the upper hand.
After ten moves, Xu Wei was shocked to discover that the man before him was just an ordinary member of the death squad, but his martial arts prowess was equal to his own.
Before Xu Wei could use his killing move, a loud shout came from the main courtyard.
"Stop! What are you doing?!"
A voice filled with anger erupted, followed by Li Yinhu in plain clothes striding towards them.
Xu Wei and the executioner immediately separated, each standing on one side with their heads bowed, cupping their fists and saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."

"Don't you know I'm the Prince, your master!?"
Li Yinhu let out a cold snort, his face dark as he said, "Speak, why did you start fighting?"
Xu Wei glanced at the death squad member and said, "I have something to report to the prince, but this blind thing is blocking me from entering."
The executioner said with a grim face, "I'm only following the prince's orders."
Li Yinhu frowned and said to Xu Wei, "It was indeed my order."
Seeing that the situation was not in his favor, Xu Wei immediately said, “Your Highness, I understand this principle perfectly. But as your personal bodyguard, appointed by you, if I were to truly have an urgent matter to report and someone stopped me, delaying the opportune moment, I would accept any punishment, even death. However, if I delayed something important for Your Highness, I would die a thousand deaths without being able to atone!”
This statement made Li Yinhǔ hesitate for a moment.
He thought Xu Wei made some sense.
If a truly urgent and important matter were to arise, and Xu Wei was prevented from entering as a result, wouldn't that be a great loss?
Even if Li Yinhu realized that his order was poorly considered, he absolutely could not admit it.
Upon thinking this, Li Yinhu glared at the assassin and berated him, "You blind fool! You couldn't even tell the Captain of Guards was blocking you? Don't you know the importance of urgency?!"
This is where the difference between assassins and ordinary guards becomes apparent.
The assassin made no plea or defense, immediately knelt down, and without expression raised his sword. Without a word, he slashed across his own neck.
This scene left Xu Wei dumbfounded.
He just wanted to stir up some trouble and casually get permission to enter the main courtyard at any time. This guy doesn't have to be so aggressive, does he?
