Chapter 20: Shadow Assassin: Kane
"Could it be that there are other people who want to attack the Dragon Head Chamber of Commerce?!" Luo Ning frowned and didn't dare to move.
In the state of "blending into the shadows", Luo Ning's senses were strengthened several times, and he could even hear the footsteps and breathing of the warriors and mages of the Dragon Head Chamber of Commerce in the treetops a hundred meters away. But the whereabouts of the three assassins on the roof of the carriage were only visible to Ronin with his eyes.
"This must be a stealth-like status skill, right? If not, then their strength isn't... Not good!"
Just when Luo Ning was suspicious, the man in black who was the leader suddenly turned his head to look at the location where Luo Ning was hiding on the top of Long Feng, and the latter was so frightened that he hurriedly leaned down. He knew that he was in a state of stealth, but he still had the illusion that "the other party had discovered himself", and he only felt that the cold gaze instantly penetrated the branches and leaves and tree trunks, piercing into his heart. When the mysterious assassin turned around, Luo Ning suddenly felt chills on his body, and he actually broke out in a cold sweat.
"What a terrifying guy! What kind of steel bones did you encounter in the blood crow compare to him, just like a child!" Luo Ning clenched his teeth, calming the fear in his heart.
"But... He found me, but he didn't do anything! Did he think I was too weak to be a threat to him? Or did he think I couldn't catch up with the Wind Rider? Hmph, maybe it's just right for me to follow behind and wait for an opportunity!"
Thinking of this, he climbed down Long Feng, and seeing that the carriage had run away, he hurriedly took out a magic scroll from his arms and opened it. He heard only a soft whistling, and counted the pale green storm energy that suddenly appeared, wrapping around his feet. Luo Ning's left leg kicked the ground, and his body jumped forward, only to feel that his whole body became light and fluttery, as if he was being lifted by two soft and huge palms. With this step, he advanced more than five or six meters.
Level 3 Magic: Light Body Technique!
This is the only third-level magic that Luo Ning can seal into the scroll, and it is also one of the most suitable magic at the moment. After all, what he was chasing was not a mortal, but a sixth-level demonic beast that could travel thousands of miles a day. The only hidden danger is that the effect of the light body technique can only last about five or six kilometers. If the two scrolls in his arms were used up, Luo Ning could only stare dryly.
Fortunately, the three assassins didn't make Ronin wait too long. Or, the warriors and mages under the command of the Dragon Head Chamber of Commerce were indeed powerful, and they had just left Maple Leaf Town when they noticed the abnormality on the top of the carriage. When they got around the low hill north of the town, the warrior suddenly grabbed the reins, causing the two horses to stop suddenly, and their four front hooves stood high and shook in the air. The warrior rolled and jumped to the ground, drawing a broad-bladed sword with tiny serrated edges from behind his back. Two other warriors pushed the door open and quickly wrapped around the carriage with their shields held high.
Surrounded by the warriors, the three assassins not only did not panic, but their expressions relaxed, as if they were not heavily armed high-ranking warriors standing on the side of the road, but three unarmed hares.
But at this moment, the leader of the assassin suddenly issued a warning: "Watch your step!" Before he could finish speaking, he stretched out his arms and grabbed two of his companions and jumped diagonally into the air.
"Boom!"
Two overlapping beams of magic shattered the roof of the carriage and plunged into the dark night sky. Countless flame elementals were pervasive, instantly heating and distorting the air, but not touching the bodies of the three assassins in the slightest.
The three of them in the air seemed to have found the weakest part of this magic element at once, and moved their bodies along the invisible energy trajectory, twisting out the coverage of the fire magic in three or two clicks.
"High Mage?" the assassin at the head smiled faintly, a little more energetic.
"Drink!" a high-ranking warrior with a sword and shield was closest to the three of them, waving a long sword and rushing head-on, while the warrior with a broad-bladed broadsword on his back was even more straightforward, directly raising the big sword with the glow of fighting energy above his head, and the whole person jumped into the air, slashing at the three who had just landed from the side.
"Innocent!"
The Assassins were in danger. Glancing at the two partners, the two immediately understood, and a black mist suddenly surged around the bodies of the three people, only to hear a soft sound of "pop", and the big sword slashed down, cutting a huge crack several meters wide on the ground. However, the three assassins were not hit, but disappeared at the same time in a split second before being hit, and escaped into a stealth state.
On the contrary, Luo Ning, who had just arrived here, was almost screamed by the hurricane that was rolled up by the building, revealing his location.
Seeing that the other party had disappeared, the big sword warrior hurriedly dragged the big sword to protect the carriage: "Everyone reorganize the formation and protect the master!" Hearing this, the two sword and shield warriors immediately returned to their original positions, and together with the two warriors who got out of the carriage, the carriage was surrounded by water.
"It's amazing! The soldiers here are all high-level professionals, and their strength is no worse than the people around Carter's fat pig! The Dragon Head Chamber of Commerce is really wealthy, no wonder they can buy so many treasures!"
After a short period of silence and depression, the Longshou Chamber of Commerce finally couldn't stand it. Accompanied by three mages, Jin Li and his two attendants pushed the door and stepped out of the carriage, looked around, and said loudly: "May I ask where your Excellency is a good man? If you want money, with my identity, I can give you a spar card worth 100,000 gold coins, and by the way, we can get to know each other." What our Longshou Chamber of Commerce has never pursued is money, but like-minded friends who can drink happily together!"
Jinli's words are atmospheric and decent, showing the sincerity of the Longshou Chamber of Commerce. In other words, most of them have let down their guard and smiled to meet them. It's a pity that these three assassins had been wandering the mainland for many years before joining the Night Demons, and they had long passed the age of relying on enthusiasm to make decisions.
I heard a slightly hoarse male voice from behind the tree opposite Ronin: "Hahaha, it's ridiculous! You high-ranking professionals are like lambs to the slaughter in Mr. Kane's eyes! We have hands and feet, and we can't take what we want." If you're smarter, don't resist and let us cut them down one by one, so we can save some time to deal with the other people who are participating in the auction!!"
"You!" Jinli's heart sank, knowing that tonight would not end well, and the other party's words were not all exaggerated. He has followed his master all over the morning breeze since he was a child, and his knowledge is naturally much more emotional intelligence than his peers. Among those he knew, there happened to be a shadow assassin dressed in black, a powerful Shadow Assassin named Kane!
Half tentatively, half provocatively, his colleague gestured to the mages behind him with his hands behind his back, suggesting that they were standing within the range of the vigilant magic they were standing on, ready to release their magic wherever the sound came from. If they can take advantage of the chaos to snipe each other, they will have a better chance of surviving.
"It turned out to be Mr. Kane under the Night Saints! I have heard that Mr. Kane is extremely powerful, and he was already a shadow assassin known as Morrowind ten years ago! With Mr. Kane's good skills, it is too condescending to be a little minion under his Night Saints. In my opinion, the position of the Night Saint should be handed over to Mr. Kane!"
As soon as he said this, the assassin who spoke up just now shouted coldly: "Hmph! What kind of thing are you, and you dare to provoke the relationship between my Night Demon assassins? Mr. Kane stays under the command of the Saints, he has his own reasons, which round will you judge!"
"It's now!" Jinli suddenly whispered. Xu was too confident, this assassin didn't move after the first sound, and he was just right to become a live target for the three high-level mages.
The only response he received was a cold night breeze and a slender dagger around his neck.
"He's right. It's my freedom to stay where I am!Lord Knight can't control me, and neither can you!By the way, by the way: this vigilance magic is used well, but it's a pity that the order is too low!"
"Boom! Bone Lu Lu ......" At the same time as the words fell, the thick blood frantically escaped around Jin Li, and the three human heads with focused expressions were blown away from their bodies by the night wind, and the bones rolled from behind Jin Li to in front of him.
From beginning to end, Luo Ning, who was hiding on the side, didn't see Kane's action clearly, and all that caught his eye was a faint shadow that was almost completely transparent, shuttling lightly between the three mages!
No one could see how Kane had bypassed the vigilance of the warriors and evaded the magic of the mages to get behind Jinley!
