Chapter 15: A Fraction of Life and Death
At that time, the poisonous dagger was only 0.1 centimeters away from the back of Luo Ning's neck. The toxins on the surface of the dagger had even begun to erode Ronin's skin. At the critical moment, Luo Ning's mind was calmer than before, and his thinking speed was also flying fast.
It's too late! Frost Ray is an intermediate level of magic that takes more than a second to chant. With this effort, let alone slitting his throat, the thief would have enough time to practice calligraphy around his neck!
Same problem: it takes even longer to take and pull the scroll open than the frost ray.
This guy is fierce, but unfortunately he can't teleport, and in the face of the dagger that has been wiped with sweat, it is more suitable to help Luo Ning collect the corpse.
The overly long move of the White Night Slash is not considered at all.
All kinds of skills and abilities were denied by Luo Ning one by one. The only option he had seemed to have was to hold the dagger in his hand and use his physical strength to meet the thief's blade, who was sure to be a high-ranking professional. At this moment, a trace of remorse flashed in Luo Ning's heart, if he could have been more cautious and did not refuse the blue bird's help, would the result be better?
Of course, such thoughts were only fleeting. Luo Ning didn't have time to think about it at all, and his left foot subconsciously stepped forward. Immediately after, lunges, bends, twist waists, and raise hands!, this series of movements was so fast that they formed an afterimage, until Luo Ning held the dagger and slashed out towards his neck, and with the bonus effect of the first attack after leaving the stealth state, he could still see a blurred figure where he had stood.
"Bell!" the blades of the two daggers staggered, and several bright sparks erupted in the dark night.
The high-level thief didn't expect Luo Ning to react so quickly. Because according to the information he got before, the kid who followed Princess Lena was just an intermediate warrior who knew a little bit of magic. So the most powerful masters were arranged to intercept and kill Lina and the two. He was the only one who brought a group of mid-level pros to kill Ronin and severely wound Master Hank at the same time.
From the moment Ronin pulled open the magic scroll and ordered the golden-bodied warrior monk to do it, all the previous arrangements were in vain! The mages who used to restrain Hank were the first to die, and the archers who were the cover of the fire were killed. The warriors in the team survived, but they were all wrapped around their legs and feet by vines, and they were holding shields to resist the stormy attacks of the golden-bodied warrior monks! Although they had never seen the kind of martial arts used by this puppet, the high-level thieves could conclude that this kind of martial arts was very strong, very strong!
"Damn! In the end, it's just me and Lal left? We can't do it alone! What about the other team? Why haven't they come out yet?!"
The high-level thief's heart became more and more uneasy, but the movements in his hands were still fierce. After the first knife was swung away by Luo Ning, he let go of the dagger, and the palm of his hand pressed against the dagger grip with a light turn, and in an instant, he switched from backhand to forehand.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Luo Ning's right arm to open his chest and abdomen, the high-level thief slashed the poison dagger in mid-air with a curved moon, and silently slashed it off again, aiming directly at Luo Ning's defenseless lower abdomen. Behind Luo Ning, the apprentice of the high-ranking thief also waited for the opportunity, raised his right arm and shot a pitch-black crossbow arrow towards Luo Ning's knee. Before apprenticeship with a high-ranking thief, the crossbow and Hidden Blade were his most proficient weapons.
There is a sword shadow in front, and there is a sharp arrow in the back. At the same time, two key points were locked, and Luo Ning couldn't free up his hand if he wanted to block it, and it was too late to hide. It looked like in just a second or two, and he was in a dead end for the second time.
Human potential is limitless. As long as the heart is strong enough, the more dangerous and urgent the moment, the more amazing energy can burst out.
In the face of the two attacks that fell at the same time, Luo Ning did not panic, but relied on his keen hearing and intuition to turn his body half-way again, and his left knee suddenly knelt on the ground, and at the same time gave way to the heart and legs, the two most likely to be attacked. This coquettish move turned around, causing the crossbow bolt shot by the apprentice to completely miss. And his right hand flashed quickly, wielding the dagger into a cloud of dazzling white light, and with the help of the power bonus provided by the "Warrior" skill, he met the dagger attack of the high-level thief.
"Dingding-Ding-Ding!" In just one second, dazzling sparks shot out in all directions, erupting into one slow, three fast, and four crisp sounds.
One wants to take someone's life, the other wants to struggle for survival! Neither of them will back down and frantically attack the other. It's just that four knives have passed, and no one has been able to get the slightest advantage. The apprentice of the high-ranking thief swung his dagger and followed closely at this time, and he was about to form a flanking attack with the teacher. But at this moment, the tip of the sword suddenly pierced his heart and pierced out in front of him. Turning back with the last of his strength, the thief saw Master Hank, shirtless, staring at him coldly with a sword in one hand and a human head in the other. The look without any emotion reminded the thief of the beasts in the jungle.
"What!" Seeing the apprentice's tragic death, the senior thief was furious. However, at this moment, the three warriors who were entangled by the golden-bodied warrior monk also exhausted their strength one after another, screaming and being smashed to the head and dying.
"Damn, what the hell are those guys rubbing!Why don't you come out to help?!" The senior thief reached into his arms and quickly threw a handful of lime at Luo Ning***, who jumped backwards. The high-level thieves also rolled and hid in the shadows in the corner, and then went on a stealth.
"Huh—— Master Hank, you're here! If you come a few seconds late, my little life will be over!"
Hank kicked away the body of the thief's apprentice and walked to Luo Ning's side, the expression on his face instantly thawed: "What are you kidding, you kid has so many means, how can you finish the game?" I guess if I come a little later, you are afraid that you will use some strange magic scroll to trap the rookie behind you, and then slip away, right? Besides, I have to ensure the safety of little Wendy first!" It turns out that the time for Master Hank's disappearance was mainly spent on the matter of placing Wendy.
is worthy of being the person who served as a guard for the queen, and Master Hank's speculation is exactly what Ronin originally intended. He smiled and didn't deny it.
"By the way, I almost forgot! The battle doesn't seem to be over yet!" Master Hank looked somewhere in the corner.
"Come out, everyone is a high-level professional, and with a few kung fu skills, it's not enough to play stealth in front of me. I can't see you, but it's easy to kill you!"
The high-level thieves were completely panicked. He knew that Master Hank was not lying. Although they are both high-level professionals, the opponent's combat skills are obviously much more powerful than their own, and I am afraid that even a higher-level epic warrior can fight it. It's just that he also understands that once he is captured, it will not be as simple as death.
"Why, are you still waiting for your companion? Then I advise you not to waste your efforts! But all the guys who are ambushed on the other side have been cleaned up by me one by one! Hmph, a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp who haven't fought a few fights are too embarrassed to come to my territory to mess around! It seems that you really can't be too kind! Otherwise, if all kinds of garbage come to annoy you, it will be quite annoying!"
The high-ranking thieves didn't respond, and the streets fell silent again. It wasn't until a moment later that a faint smell came into Master Hank's nose.
"Oh no!" Hank rushed to where the high-ranking thief had disappeared, reached out and touched it twice, grabbed him by the collar, and pulled him out of his stealth state.
"Killed yourself?" Luo Ning stepped forward, and by the moonlight, he pulled down the mask of the high-level thief, and found a wisp of black blood with a faint sweet fragrance flowing down the corner of the other party's mouth.
At this moment, a slightly tired voice sounded from behind Luo Ning: "Uncle Hank, what's going on? There are also people who are looking for trouble with you? And Luo Ning, why do you come out and hang around with only a pair of panties? Could it be... You've been robbed by the enemy?!"
