The masked men had no intention of concealing their tracks, and they swarmed forward, killing as they went.
Those who were originally in a frantic attempt to rescue the Empress Mother quickly turned to defend themselves, but it was clear they were no match for the assailants in black, as screams of agony were heard from time to time.
In just a few moments, half of the retinue that had accompanied her out of the palace had either died or been injured.
And the masked men clearly had no plans to entangle with the palace guards. Instead, they were killing a blood path, with their swords pointed directly at Su Pan'er and her child, who were pinned under a grape trellis.
"Stop!"
Ye Han was in an anxious fury, shouting as he rushed forward, "Rescue Her Majesty! Rescue Her Majesty, quickly save the Empress!"
