Inheriting a security escort agency, the game begins with escorting the eldest princess.

Chapter 5 Ghost Rakshasa

The men in black approached the ancient temple. The leader raised his hand in a gesture to enter, and the temple door opened with a loud crash. Then, arrows poured into the ancient temple.

Fortunately, Chu Sheng had warned everyone in advance about the assassins, so they were on guard, and the flying arrows did not harm them in the slightest.

"So many assassins?" Li Kuang exclaimed in shock.

The other four were also surprised. They had thought that escorting the princess would be a simple task, given her special status as the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, representing the royal family.

No one expected that the assassin would disregard her identity in the slightest.

Li Anlan narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, looking at the flying arrow on the wooden pillar next to her, as if she had thought of something.

The Great Xia's military equipment was strictly controlled, and these flying arrows must have come from the military camp. Without much thought, she could guess who wanted to kill her.

Chu Sheng stood to Li Anlan's side and looked at Cui Xuan not far away, where he found him hiding behind a book box, looking terrified.

"Charge into the ancient temple, leave no one alive!"

A voice rang out from outside the ancient temple, and the assassin broke down the door.

Li Kuang, Bi Yuntao, Qingfeng Daoren, Ling Fei, and Fu Yin charged out and engaged the assassins in battle.

Chu Sheng did not make a move from beginning to end, his expression was extremely solemn, because he discovered that in addition to the men in black who had stormed the ancient temple, there were also assassins hiding in the shadows, and the people who came were not weak.

With so many assassins gathered at the ancient temple, numbering over a hundred, has Li Anlan violated some heavenly law?

She absolutely has to be killed.

Chu Sheng realized that earning five hundred taels of gold was no easy feat. His master used to say that bodyguards lived a life of constant danger, and now he truly understood that feeling.

"Don't kill me! I don't know them!" Cui Xuan cried out, his voice trembling, hiding behind the book box and afraid to show his face.

Just then, a figure rushed into the ancient temple, crossed the bonfire, and attacked Li Anlan. The long sword was pointed directly at Li Anlan. Chu Sheng reacted quickly and appeared, drawing his sword to block the long sword.

"Your Highness, step back!"

As the sound rang out, Chu Sheng suddenly rushed forward, forcing the assassins back. He stood at the entrance of the ancient temple, knife in hand, giving the impression that one man could hold off ten thousand.

The black-clad assassin was sent flying, his longsword scraping across the ground, splashing water everywhere. He barely managed to regain his balance before abruptly raising his head to look at Chu Sheng. "Zhenyuan Escort Agency?"

Recognizing Chu Sheng's clothes, the man in black angrily said, "Your Zhenyuan Escort Agency has fallen into such a state of decline that you still want to protect the goods? Chu Wu doesn't dare to come out of the mountains, so he sent a greenhorn like you."

"Do you know who we are? By making enemies of us, does your Zhenyuan Escort Agency want to be razed to the ground?"

Chu Sheng said calmly, "I'm not interested in your identities. The Eldest Princess is a savior I must protect; no one can touch her, not even the Heavenly King himself when he gets old."

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his long sword like the wind, unleashing a powerful burst of sword energy that enveloped the man in black.

"Chaotic Heaven Blade Technique!"

"No......."

Before the man in black could finish speaking, blades flashed across his body, and his figure was already scattered here and there.

There were too many people to kill, and Chu Sheng didn't want to waste his breath.

He glanced to the side and saw that Li Kuang, under the attack of several assassins, was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position. He raised his hand and a blade of light, like a crescent moon, flashed across the sky, instantly killing one of the assassins.

Having relieved Li Kuang's pressure, he cast a grateful glance at Chu Sheng, "Brother Chu, thank you so much!"

"You are welcome!"

Chu Sheng flashed back to Li Anlan's side, wanting to ensure Li Anlan's safety. As for the other assassins, he left them to Qingfeng Daoist and the others to kill.

Because there are other assassins lurking in the shadows, killing as many people as possible is not important; ensuring Li Anlan's safety is the top priority.

His master once said that a qualified bodyguard must always ensure the safety of the goods.

"Master Chu, should we leave the ancient temple first?" Li Anlan asked worriedly, her composure uneasy.

"We can't go out!" Chu Sheng said. "It's even more dangerous outside than inside the ancient temple. The assassins coming aren't just the people in front of us."

No sooner had he finished speaking than another assassin charged in. Chu Sheng swung his sword, cleaving the assassin's sword and figure in two.

The assassins instantly realized that with Chu Sheng present, they could not kill Li Anlan, and even getting close to him was a pipe dream.

Just then.

A figure floated down into the courtyard of the ancient temple, standing in the wind and rain, his clothes not wet at all, a powerful inner force surrounding him, his sharp gaze fixed on Li Anlan.

"Princess, how have you been?"

"Come with me, or this place will be your final resting place tonight."

Li Anlan looked in the direction of the voice, and her expression changed drastically. "Ghost Rakshasa!"

Upon hearing this...

Chu Sheng turned his head and asked, "Your Highness, is this ghost's attack very strong?"

"Master Chu, Ghost Rakshasa is a level-eight assassin from the Misty Rain Pavilion. He is already a seventh-rank martial artist and is skilled in using hidden weapons. He is very famous in the martial arts world," Li Anlan introduced, his voice trembling slightly.

She knew very well that the strongest of the martial artists she had found to escort her was Qingfeng Daoren, who was only a newly entered sixth-rank martial artist and could not possibly be a match for Gui Luosha.

The others were all fifth-rank martial artists, and they were no match for him.

Li Anlan was right. When they heard the words "Ghost Rakshasa," Li Kuang, Ling Fei, Qingfeng Daoren, and Bi Yuntao all showed expressions of fear.

Before the Ghost Rakshasa even made a move, they had already lost in terms of momentum.

"Those who don't want to die can leave now!" Ghost Rakshasa said angrily, walking step by step into the ancient temple. "If you don't leave within three breaths, I'll start a massacre."

Upon hearing this...

Li Kuang and his companions were terrified. They had come to make money and didn't want to risk their lives for it.

"Your Highness, I am truly sorry, I am withdrawing from this escort mission!" Fu Yin spoke first, and the next second she rushed out of the ancient temple, disappearing into the rainy night in a few leaps.

"I'm quitting too!"

"Me too!"

Bi Yuntao and Ling Fei spoke one after another, choosing to withdraw from the escort mission.

They felt it wasn't worth risking their lives for a hundred taels of gold.

Qingfeng Daoist looked at Li Anlan, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will not leave. So what if it's a Ghost Rakshasa? At worst, it's just a battle. What is there to fear in death?"

Li Kuang said, "I'm not leaving. I've taken the money, so I have to do the job. I, Lord Hanshan, am all about reputation."

Li Anlan cast a grateful glance at the two men, who hadn't left in the face of danger. "Master Chu, aren't you leaving?"

Chu Sheng looked surprised. "Your Highness, why should I leave?"

"Our Zhenyuan Escort Agency's rule is: the escort is our life, the escort is our death."

"Do you remember what I said at the security company?"

"As long as the money's there, I'll crush even the Emperor himself!"

Li Anlan said, "Master Chu, Ghost Rakshasa is a seventh-rank martial artist; you are no match for him."

"Seventh rank?"

"I'm targeting a seventh-rank official!"

Ghost Rakshasa looked at Chu Sheng with a mocking expression. "Kid, you don't think you can roam the martial world just by carrying a knife. Didn't Chu Wu tell you that the martial world is dangerous and not for you to dabble in?"

"If Chu Wu were here, he might be able to exchange a few blows with me, but as for you... you don't even qualify to make me make a move."

"But since you're so eager to die, I'll make an exception and send you on your way."

Chu Sheng said, "Enough with the nonsense, please begin your performance!"
