Chapter 85: Ambush
Transformed into a blonde, Ronin dragged Karen through the lower part of the city to the neighborhood of Morrowind College in the upper city. Along the way, Luo Ning's impulsiveness faded a lot, and his face became more and more red.
"What! I knew I was so ashamed, so I wouldn't have played this kind of self-revealing drama. This is clearly a public execution, and it is a double punishment!"
"Wait, Miss Wenrui!" Karen suddenly grabbed Luo Ning from behind.
Luo Ning turned her head and saw that her face had long since lost the confusion and helplessness she had when she met on the street, and she had regained her former calm and calmness.
"The magic power fluctuates around here, something is wrong! This feeling, a bit like the magic pattern of illusion!"
After being reminded by Karen, Luo Ning also felt a little strange. He hadn't studied magic systematically, but he had the keen instincts of an assassin, and he felt the cold, murderous intent that stood on end in his hair. What's even weirder is that it's so quiet. Neither the pedestrians nor Neo made a sound.
"Follow me!" Luo Ning grabbed Karen's palm, carefully distinguishing the difference between the strength and weakness of the killing intent, and avoided its edge and turned into a small courtyard planted with several clusters of purple flowers.
"It smells so good...... Wait! This place is obviously close to the Chenfeng Square in Shangcheng District, how can there be such an exquisite and elegant courtyard? And these flowers, is it my delusion? They ...... They're spinning so fast!!"
In Luo Ning's eyes, the surroundings were obviously calm, but the flowers in the small courtyard were circling and dancing at his feet, and the color of the petals gradually changed from dark purple to scarlet.
"Ahem!ahem!" Karen suddenly coughed twice, and her body fell back weakly. Luo Ning pulled hard and hugged her, and the antidote taken at the door of the Witch of Cang's house had an effect, making Luo Ning's head more and more dizzy for a while, and then sober again.
"Miss Winray, beware! This is—" Karen fainted in the middle of her words. Blood dripped from the corners of his mouth onto the mage's robe, staining large black marks.
"Black blood?!yes, this flower is poisonous!"
Ronin hurriedly took out a bottle of purification potion and fed it to Karen. But the bottle of potion spilled from the side of his body.
"What?!"
A very strong sense of uneasiness entangled Luo Ning. He felt like a chicken with a plucked feather and pressed into the ice water, pained, uneasy, trembling and even numb!
The next moment, a sense of crisis that seemed to be like a substance accompanied by a cold cold light took advantage of the void and pierced into Luo Ning's chest. He subconsciously pushed Karen away, and his body shifted a few inches to the left with all his might, giving way to the heart, causing the blade to pierce diagonally from the back of his right chest and out near his right breast.
"Hmph! It's not just flowers that are poisonous! The malice in people's hearts is far more poisonous than this flower!Welcome to my world, my dear little lamb!" The air behind him suddenly mottled and twisted, revealing a thin, translucent silhouette.
A pair of big round eyes were the first to emerge, and the solitary hanging in the air was particularly penetrating. This was followed by a small nose with sarcoma on the wings of the nose, and a thunder mouth shaped like a funnel. A moment later, a yellow-haired man holding a dark blue wave short sword appeared close to Luo Ning, and the short sword in his hand had already pierced into it for more than eight or nine points.
Luo Ning finally realized: the exquisite courtyard nearby was fake, those purple flowers were fake, and even Karen's black blood was fake—the girl had been poisoned early in the morning!
The only real thing is that the exquisite courtyard has become a deep alley, and the knife wound on his chest is like a breach in the upper reaches of a river, and the blood is pouring after the blade is pulled out.
"Damn! It's an illusion!" Ronin lay Karen on her back, then covered her wound with one hand and pulled out the Storm Demon Sword with the other. But his hands were not a life-saving elixir, and there was no way to heal the torn wound.
Luo Ning took out a bottle of healing potion and wanted to take it, but as soon as the bottle was delivered to his mouth, he was knocked out by a short assassin who looked like a lizard. Luo Ning was startled and saw half a dead leaf floating in the potion that had fallen to the ground. With just this hand, he could see that the strength of the other party was probably not below that of the Akuro Long Yan he had encountered in Jinshui City.
"No, I'll die if I continue like this!"
Ronin summoned two puppets and took out the second bottle of potion. He had thought that the Tomb Master and the Phaseless Warrior Monk would be able to torture and kill more than twenty high-ranking assassins, and they should be able to trap the lizard-faced assassin. As soon as the two of them touched the lizard-faced body, the assassin smiled strangely, and his body suddenly became transparent and void, unable to be seen by the naked eye.
The two puppets were armed with superior martial arts, and when they saw the situation, they switched to using Dou Qi to perceive, but they sensed an unexpected scene: the aura of the lizard-faced assassin was everywhere, but it was also everywhere, and it seemed to be completely integrated into this world.
The sudden change made the two puppets slightly panicked. Fortunately, the natural leader of the ancient tomb is not chaotic in the face of danger, and the Buddhism of the Wuxiang warrior monk is as profound as a mountain. Both subconsciously reacted: no matter where the lizard face was hidden, Ronin would always be his target.
Therefore, the Wuxiang warrior monk flashed behind Luo Ning and hurriedly made the "wind and rain in all directions", and the head of the ancient tomb was even more daring, directly swept the soft sword at Luo Ning, and skillfully entered the "desert lonely smoke". The two killing moves, one after the other, protected Luo Ning tightly.
"Hiss!" A sound similar to a snake's cry suddenly appeared in the shadow of the sword, and the two puppets were overjoyed, thinking that they had successfully hit their target. Unexpectedly, the soft sword of the head of the ancient tomb fell, and only a dry and scorched hard shell was cut.
"I've got you!" When the two puppets realized that something was wrong, the figure of the lizard-faced assassin suddenly appeared above Luo Ning's head, and the strange arc of the dark blue blade flashed, and it was close to the top of Luo Ning's head in an instant.
To die or to wait for death, this is a helpless choice! Will he be pierced by the blade falling from the sky and die without a whole body, or will he forget the blood flowing from his wounds and die in a life-threatening injury? Luo Ning will not choose either of these two paths!
"Caught me? No, I caught you!"
Luo Ning's expression was firm and indifferent, and he was not shaken by the close blade at hand. He knew very well: the enemy would not give him the opportunity to unleash the Storm Demon Sword, and the magic chant would also be taken advantage of by the enemy, so ......
"Activate the Combat Skill: Decree of Hope!Chant the Decree to block damage (capped at 3000% HP) for the next 5 seconds while regenerating 10% of your Max HP per second. !”
"Enhance existing skills: Hope for the Order!Gain 25% damage reduction!1\/4!"
"Activate the combat skill: Fist of Heaven! Summons lightning to blast the ground and destroy the enemies on the ground. 1\/3!”
"Turn on the combat skill: Battle Spirit. Summon the Heroic Soul Phantom to charge at the enemy!1\/3!"
This desperate operation was done in one go, and the skill points earned last time were consumed.
The blade approached the scalp, giving off a chill. Luo Ning's body was as warm as fire, not only was it shrouded in brilliant golden light for a moment. The Zealot Totem in his eyes also showed his outline at the same moment, which startled the lizard-faced assassin.
"Drink!" In the roar, Luo Ning quickly raised his long sword, blocking the blue light indismissibly.
"Hey, now tell me, who the hell is the one who got caught?!"
The halo condenses, and the phantom emerges. Before Luo Ning's voice fell, he launched the "Heroic Soul of War Martyrdom". A translucent phantom armed with a sword and shield appeared, rising from the ground and heading straight for the lizard-faced assassin's face!
