Chapter 22: Alone, Side by Side (I)

Kane turned his head, not letting his two companions notice his unusual reaction. And from the height of his strength, the determination of Luo Ning and the others is more like a joke in the mouth of a child. Kane was like a ghost in another dimension, easily cutting through the fog that had crept forward, choking the magic bell while avoiding the dragon's spine blood thorns.

And Jinli, who had been held hostage by Kane, knew that a slender red blood mark burst out at this time.

Perhaps until he dies, Jinli will not know: there is one thing he says wrong—Kane is more than just an ordinary Shadow Assassin. The clouds are far and near, and the trees are high and low. Even compared to all the Shadow Assassins on the continent, Kane is strong enough to firmly occupy the top of the pyramid and have a chance to touch another world above the clouds. "Magic Bell!" Luo Ning was shocked, and then a boiling anger swelled in his heart, burning away the pent-up fear. Kane's look and behavior reminded him of the characters who once made him unable to hold his head up. It's all generally aloof and indifferent.

"Let her go!" Ronin roared, escaping from his stealth state and flashing behind Kane's back in an instant.

Shadow Strike!

A circle of black light mist that seemed to loom around the dagger in his hand suddenly appeared. With the effect bonus of the skill "Shadow Strike", Luo Ning's angry blow was fast and fierce, hitting 8 times the usual terrifying power.

"Bell!"

Kane swung his hand backwards and easily blocked Ronin's sword. However, the tremendous force coming from the dagger still made his right arm feel sore. The terrifying power that exceeded expectations made Kane's eyes can't help but glance back, secretly surprised by Ronin's blow.

But that's just a glimpse. After all, there is a huge difference in strength between the two. Before Luo Ning was about to stab the second backhand, he suddenly kicked out reflexively and kicked Luo Ning dozens of meters away.

"——Huh" Luo Ning did not fall on a huge rock not far away, but was wrapped in a cloud of cruising red flames, unloaded all the impact force, and stood firmly on the ground. The next moment, Princess Lena stepped out from behind the giant rock, her hands clenched around the staff, her expression calm and resolute.

The golden-bodied warrior monk appeared after him, and in addition to the eyebrow stick in his hand, there was also a string of thirty-six golden balls on his neck. After the last battle in front of the blacksmith's shop, the puppet has been upgraded again, and even the weapons are the same.

"You two, kill them!" Kane ordered without looking back.

The three of them were originally assassins under the command of the Night Saints, but after all, their strength was clearly distinguished, so the Duke brothers, who came with Kane, just glanced at each other, and silently took out their weapons and approached Luo Ning and the two.

"Let go... Me!" Suddenly, someone grabbed her throat and couldn't breathe, and the magic bell almost suffocated and fell unconscious. But because of Luo Ning's shadow strike just now, the palm that choked her appeared to loosen instantly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the magic bell gathered his fighting energy, and the dragon's spine blood thorn and the second dagger pinned to his waist stabbed out, slashing through two scarlet glimmers, forcing Kane to let go of his hand.

A true assassin will never let go of any opportunity!

The magic bell succeeded in the first blow, and the back moves continued to be used wildly. Twenty-nine combos were as fast as a knife, one as hard as a knife, and rained down on Kane like a storm. With such a high frequency of attacks, even Kane couldn't dodge them all with his flexible reactions, so he had to swing his sword to resist.

But the strange thing is that all the twenty-nine knives fell, and the daggers of the two collided with each other seven times, but Kane's gaze was always locked on the face of the magic bell. There was a hint of nostalgia on his face, as if it was not the magic bell who was fighting against him, but another old man who had known him for a long time.

Twenty-nine slashes were fired in a combo that ended in a matter of moments. Seeing that this combo was not effective, the magic bell did not retreat but advanced, and circled to Kane's side, and the two daggers stabbed cross, drawing two staggered red arcs.

However, under the huge disparity in strength, no amount of effort is in vain.

Kane wasn't flustered either. I saw his feet explode into a cloud of phantoms, shaking back and forth at a speed that could not be captured by vision, and his body swayed back and forth, and it was extremely unbelievable to burrow into the curve of the falling two daggers, and avoided it with the cold blade.

"Bell!"

The two snaps were so quick that they were in unison, and the twin daggers that the magic bell used with all its might were swinging away by Kane almost simultaneously. At this time, Kane only needs to stab the dagger in the chest to easily take the life of the magic bell.

However, he didn't choose to do this, but stared directly at the magic bell's face that was a mixture of surprise and unwillingness, and let the magic bell retreat, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"Like!

The magic bell suppressed the numbness and soreness coming from his arms, and suddenly remembered what the two Daredevil assassins had said in the Blood Raven's lair.

"Hmph, is it Meryl the Red Moon Saint again? I don't know her at all, how many times do I have to repeat this sentence before you believe it? You people from the Night Demon Organization are really stupid and crazy!"

Hearing Meryl's name, Kane's expression suddenly softened: "You've also heard Meryl's name?" Yes, that guy from Cyborg is loyal to her, so he will naturally mention it to you. That's right, I'm talking about Meryl. Those eyes, mouth, and long, slightly curly brown hair were exactly the same as when she was young! And the 'Lunar Eclipse' just now, no one but her could use the combo so beautifully! Only the assassin she taught could use the power of that scarlet fighting spirit!"

"But I don't know Meryl! This combo isn't called a lunar eclipse!"

Kane didn't argue with the Magic Bell either. His figure flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he snatched the dragon's spine blood thorn into his hand: "You can not believe my words! But at least you should trust your own eyes." The real 'lunar eclipse' must be used in this way!"

Before the words fell, the black robe that wrapped Kane suddenly puffed out without wind, and after a few breaths, it was broken by a large area of thick and blood-like black fighting qi. In the rolling black clouds, two bright and cold sword lights flashed back, and Sister Lian formed a ball of silver light that exuded dazzling brilliance.

"That's at least three times as fast as mine!" the magic bell sighed secretly, but didn't find it difficult to accept. In a year or two at most, I will be able to do this myself.

But as soon as she wanted to open her mouth and sneer, her open mouth couldn't be closed anymore.

The twenty-nine combo was over the corner, but Kane immediately began a second round of attacks. This time, the silver swirls of light, which could reach several meters in diameter, suddenly decreased, condensing into a palm-sized cloud of white light. And the blade storm around the white light was surprisingly dim.

Dark clouds cover the moon, and the ice wheel is eclipsed! The magic bell finally understands that this is what the "lunar eclipse" really should look like.

The ball of bright light that could be held in one hand was pulled into a beam of white light before the twenty-ninth knife fell, piercing the face of the magic bell. The magic bell didn't have time to react, so he could only watch as the dragon's spine blood spike swooped in, stopping at a distance of about a finger from the tip of his nose.

Kane looked at the pretty face that was six points similar to Meryl, and countless memories flooded back to his heart. He let out a long sigh and sent the dragon's spine blood thorn back into the palm of the magic bell: "In order to find Meryl, I have traveled to many places, encountered many dangers, and killed many people! But I don't care about all this! As long as I can see her again and hear her voice again, even if I die immediately, it is worth it!"

"If he's not joking, this guy has a crush on that Meryl!

The magic bell is distracted, but Kane stuffs those chaotic memories back into his heart in the blink of an eye, and becomes the cold-blooded assassin who kills and abuses again. The dagger was on the shoulder of the magic bell, and Kane watched the fierce battle hundreds of meters away, and there was no trace of temperature in his voice: "Since you don't know Meryl's whereabouts, then I don't need to spare your life! But that scarlet fighting spirit can't deceive people! Little girl, who taught you this trick of lunar eclipse? Tell her whereabouts obediently, or I will cut off the flesh on your body piece by piece, and let you eat it without falling until you are willing to tell the truth!"

The magic bell glanced in the direction where Luo Ning was, and there was no hope in his heart: "After I bumped into you demons tonight, I never thought that I would be able to go back alive! Hmph, whether it is Meryl's whereabouts or the teacher's traces, you don't want to know any of them!"

The other party is so tough, Kane is in no mood to continue maneuvering. He sneered and swung his dagger violently. Drops of blood stained the tip of the dagger and fell to the ground along with a few strands of long, slender brown hair.
