Chapter 3: A Bloody Tribute
Rumble!
The fire flashed, and the heat wave hit everywhere. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
A fireball suddenly flew from a distance and exploded around the female captain, even though this strong woman had already jumped up in advance, Ling Qi still smelled a smell of barbecue in the midst of the sizzling sound!
Stumbling down, the woman's movements were obviously stagnant, the blue-gray gauntlet on her left arm had turned black, there was a slight smoke rising from the gap in the armor, the right hand holding the sword was also trembling slightly, and the long knife in her left hand was weak to hang to the ground!
The surrounding air fluctuated, and more than a dozen people appeared, and waves of assassins appeared one after another, giving people the illusion of inexhaustible killing.
As soon as these red-robed assassins appeared, they seemed to have received some kind of call, and they rushed towards the emperor even more fearlessly, even ignoring the interceptions from their side!
They go one after another, and their indifferent eyes are the loudest slogans, which are extremely terrifying!
Others didn't notice it, but Ling Qi, who was hiding in the shadows, could see clearly, dozens of meters away, next to a stone pillar, there was an assassin who was also wearing a red robe!
The difference is that instead of summoning an armor weapon, he intertwined his hands, forming a certain seal, and clusters of dark red streamers were condensing and changing at a speed visible to the naked eye in front of his chest!
His body seemed to be covered with a transparent film, and if it weren't for the faint blue light that emitted like water, Ling Qi wouldn't have noticed.
The assassin seemed to sense Ling Qi's gaze, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at him, a hint of surprise clearly flashing in his eyes. When it became clear that the man was just a prisoner and that there should be no threat, he looked away and relocked the battlefield.
This time, he was aiming at the Emperor who was guarded by Baurus!
Due to the female captain's injury, the movements have slowed down significantly, and the enemy has become more frenzied, Bolus has joined the fight, and even the old emperor has stabbed a wounded assassin!
At this moment, seven or eight more assassins suddenly appeared in the air outside the battle circle, and in an instant, nearly half of their accomplices were slaughtered in just a few breaths.
The strength of these assassins is vastly different from that of the Blade Guards, but there are many of them, and there is a very threatening mage in the shadows.
Seeing that the Assassin mage hiding in the shadows was about to cast a successful spell, Renalte and Granary were still trying to find the location of their enemies, while trying to fend off the Assassins' frantic attacks.
Several times, the two of them swept their gaze over the area where the assassin mage was, but they turned a blind eye to the fireball that was unusually conspicuous in the darkness, as if some force was interfering with their perception.
Seeing this, Ling Qi stood up like a soul and shouted to a few people on the field:
"That mage, over there!"
With that, he gestured in the direction of the Assassin Mage.
Seven or eight eyes instantly converged on him, some surprised, some suspicious, and some malicious.
Ling Qi's heart felt cold, but it was the resentful gaze of the assassin mage.
The man's fingering was messed up, so he didn't get angry, and a fireball smashed towards Ling Qi.
Secretly complaining, Ling Qi couldn't help it, the only one on the field who was friendly to him was the emperor. If the old emperor died, whoever won would not give him a good face.
Especially if the Assassins win, just by looking at the cold appearance of those people, he will be eliminated nine out of nine.
With that, he shrank back, the massive half-pillar just enough to block the ranged attacks from the mage.
Several of the assassins on the field seemed to sense the mage's anger, and they actually abandoned their respective opponents and headed towards Ling Qiwei.
The two of them also seemed to have broken some kind of "barrier" by him, followed his direction, and looked intently, only to feel that their vision was distorted, and the red-robed mage holding a huge fireball in his hand was standing there dignified!
The Assassins were not slow, and only because their opponents were Blade Guards would appear so incompetent. With no one to stop them, several Assassins easily surrounded Ling Qi, who was huddled behind the pillar.
I don't know if it was that voice that played a role? It showed his choice of camp, or the emperor had already secretly explained, and he wanted to withdraw to kill the assassin mage, but he hesitated when he saw this. After feeling that another force around him burst out to kill the enemy mage, he actually turned around and intercepted the few assassins who were surrounding Ling Qi!
Progress Side-Strike!
Slash!
Regress and slam! Slash! Slash!
The simplest moves, the most terrifying power, this is the legendary ultimate martial arts?!
The sword and sword, the blood flowing, and the fierce slashing and killing, even the old king showed the iron and bloody wrist of his youth.
Like a few fierce tigers pounced on the flock, the frontal battlefield with ordinary assassins as the main force was simply a one-sided slaughter!
Before the female guards could reach the Assassin Mage, the red-clad men on the field had already thinned out.
Ten times the number of people, the heads of the people who were killed are rolling, if the mastermind who planned this assassination sees this scene, I don't know how to feel.
The fourth wave of assassins did not appear, and it seems that the number of assassins is also limited, and so far in the battle, except for the red-robed mage whose breath is a little chaotic, there is no longer a threat to the existence of the old emperor.
The Assassins' contempt for the old emperor also cost them dearly, and the old man was left unscathed!
The old man no longer has the grandeur of the past, but his old spiciness, he has only shown exquisite swordsmanship that can be called art, and even a few blade guards are afraid that they are inferior.
"What a world this is!"
I was fortunate to witness the old emperor's former majesty throughout the whole process, and secretly complained, reminding myself by the way not to underestimate anyone.
The dust has settled!
This is Ling Qi's feeling.
Although the mage's fireball technique was on the verge of completion, when the position was exposed, the rhythm was obviously disrupted, and the mana fluctuations were chaotic. Although this is not a fatal mistake for a mature lawyer, it only takes ten seconds at most to adjust his condition, but it is a pity that who will give him this time.
His incompetent subordinates couldn't even get him ten seconds!
The female captain approached the assassin mage in a few longitudinal directions, and this time it was so fast that Ling Qi couldn't even see the shadow clearly.
When Granary killed the last assassin who might pose a threat to him, Ling Qi quietly peeked out from behind the broken stone pillar and looked at the powerful mage indifferently.
He still remembered the man's eyes, that kind of unending gaze, and he curled the corners of his lips silently, as if he had seen the bloody scene of the man's head being cut off by the female captain's sword before he finished casting the spell.
"桀桀桀~"
Obviously on the verge of despair, the red-robed mage actually raised his head, revealing his pale and beardless face, and smiled strangely at Ling Qi, who was hiding behind the pillar.
Rumble!
His robe puffed up without wind, and the light blue transparent cover on his body swelled, sending the well-fitting Renalte flying five meters away!
"Iruta, Wagron!"
I don't know what to say, most of the orange fireballs in the assassin mage's hands that have been condensed turned golden in an instant, and they have expanded more than three times!
"Not good!"
Granry, who looked resolute, let out a low snort, showing a panicked look for the first time when he saw this.
Dozens of meters away, Ling Qi sensed a rush of heat, and even in some of the places around the mage, even the ground was steaming hot, as if it was being scorched by an invisible flame, and it began to crack and scorch black!
All these visions showed how terrifying that golden fireball was!
Ling Qi's pupils constricted, and he seemed to be observing more than others!
In the center of the golden fireball, there was a mysterious rune circulating, which was an intricate pattern outlined purely by incandescent flames!
Just staring at that rune, he had the illusion that he was going to burn and burn himself!
The old emperor subconsciously grasped the pendant on his chest, and then stared at Ling Qi with burning eyes, there was some kind of expectation in his eyes.
"Hahaha!"
The red-robed mage held the fireball aloft, laughing wildly, and ready to throw it.
"Renalt, don't!"
Paulus, who had been silent, suddenly exclaimed, by accident, he was injured by several assassins who were trapped in the beast, and his arm was painted!
The few surviving Assassins did not forget their duty, but they became more exhilarated and crazy because of the changes in their mages!
Ling Qi took his eyes off the fireball with difficulty, and the boiling qi and blood finally subsided. He couldn't even raise the slightest thought of resisting, and the thick smell of sulfur came to his face, making him tremble.
This kind of behavior is normal, but the old emperor not far away showed a hint of suspicion when he saw this, and seemed to be a little unexpected about Ling Qi's weakness.
Where would Ling Qi care what the old emperor was thinking.
He had never seen such a spell before, but he could clearly feel the devastating power contained in the fireball, a terrifying power that would be burned into ashes even if it was affected!
He looked in the direction of the female captain with difficulty, as if grasping the last straw.
The female captain did not disappoint him, Renalte did not disappoint the emperor, she only made a man who loved him dearly despair.
I saw that the female warrior who was easily bounced away by the magic power had a wisp of visible blood and qi wrapped around her body at some point!
What is it?
Seeing too much supernatural power, Ling Qi had to admit calmly that whether it was magic or martial arts, this world was not something that ordinary people could mix at all.
The female guard, who was entangled in blood, seemed to have taken an overdose of stimulants, roared lowly, her hair was open, and her twin blades walked with her, and a whirlpool of red wind knives immediately blew around her!
An assassin who touched her side and was about to sneak attack was directly torn to pieces by the dense red body protection wind blade!
The blood mist was filled, and behind the fishy wind, the female guard's originally fair skin began to turn yellow.
It's not dry yellow, but bright yellow, which is an orange and yellow texture, like a cheetah, like a tiger.
Only Erudito knew that this was the result of the forcible activation of some kind of bloodline power of the half-blood!
And only a few people such as Bauruth knew what kind of power their captain, Renalte, had burst out at this moment!
Red Guards - Rush Forward.
Dragon Tiger - Scarlet Fury.
Mutant Talent - Bloody Tribute!
There are always some people who are special, just like within the "Blade" organization, below the Blade Master, one of the only three people in charge, why is it such a young and beautiful woman!
Everyone knows that Renalte is very strong, and everyone thinks that she has the blood of a proud elf, but who would have thought that what flows in her body is the blood of an ancient tigerman!
The fearless blood of the legendary Dragon Tiger people!
It's a time when magic can do all kinds of wonders, but it's not a world where magic is more beautiful than it used to be!
Ling Qi was quite shocked, he could clearly feel how much change this sudden burst of power had brought to Renaert! If Renaert's combat strength at the moment ago was eighty, then now it was one hundred and eighteen, two hundred and eight, and three hundred and eight!
This is a power that can instantly sublimate the weak into the strong!
He looked at Renalte with greed and covetousness in his eyes.
A cold face, a seductive figure, and a very high status, these things that will arouse the desire of ordinary men to conquer are bullshit in Ling Qi's eyes.
Of course he is a man, he also has love and he also has desires. It's a pity that his love is dead, and his desires are only the thirst for power!
He wants to live, to live wonderfully, to live happily.
He wants to be in charge of the fate of others, not to be dictated by others or fate.
So, he needs strength!
Compared to the mysterious magic, compared to the powerful but uncontrollable elements, this most direct and violent energy can resonate with him more!
"If you can have this kind of power, even if you give your life, it will be worth it!"
For some reason, when he saw the woman who was like a comet and attacked the assassin mage with a scarlet blood curtain, he suddenly had such an realization in his heart!
It's a dazzling force, pure destruction and destruction.
There is always something brilliant that is not enough to pay for other costs.
Everyone wants to live, but there will always be times when fate will make you make a choice, either live with grievances or burn your life vigorously to perish!
Renalte made a choice, perhaps because she had something to protect, or perhaps because she valued her responsibilities above life, so she chose that.
Ling Qi had lost what he wanted to protect, so even if he wasn't a man of his word, even if he regarded promises as child's play, he had chosen the same.
Two people with very different personalities have made almost identical decisions for two completely different reasons!
The world is so wonderful, and the consciousness of power never distinguishes between good and evil, good and evil.
The power of scarlet is death, destruction, and the last unyielding right!
As his blood swelled, he felt as if he understood this power! He recognized it, so he wanted to get it, he wanted to have it, even at all costs!
If he ever had that power—
Maybe the ending won't change anything, but the process will be even more vigorous!
"Ding! comprehend the true meaning of the bloody salute, and the bloodline talent is activating. ”
"Ding! does not have the corresponding bloodline, and fails to activate the relevant ability. ”
The voice in his head explained to him, and Ling Qi's boiling blood gradually cooled, surprised at Fang Cai's unusual eagerness, and annoyed at the missed opportunity.
The brilliance of magic that others can't see, the runes that flow in the flames, the true meaning of the power of the bloodline of others...
Ling Qi thought a lot in an instant, but this was not the time to think about these questions at all!
The battle continued, life burned, Bowus screamed in despair, and the old emperor frowned.
In the next second, just before the mage could throw out the fireball with a wild laugh, a blood-colored long knife directly hit the incandescent runes circulating in the golden fireball!
The white rune burst out with a power that suffocated the soul, and the blood qi blade also instantly bloomed with a thousand feet of red light, and the onlookers only felt that this underground space suddenly lit up, and the red and white light was intertwined and dazzling, and then it was annihilated together!
"Roar!!
Bauruth was the first to wake up, and frantically attacked the Assassins around him, like a hungry tiger.
Ling Qi was stunned, not stimulated by the dazzling brilliance, but by the obvious change in front of him!
The woman who was like a god descending from heaven a moment ago is undergoing a conspicuous drastic change in her body!
It's like a basin of cold water poured directly on his head!
Like the legendary sword fairy flying with the edgeworth, the female captain slashed the obviously extraordinary golden fireball with one move, and the remaining momentum did not fade, and stabbed the stunned mage to death before exhausting her strength, and then stood majestically beside the mage's tattered corpse.
But before she could show her proud look, the blood mist around her exploded violently, and large strands of blood shot out from the cracks in her armor at the same time, as if the blood vessels in her whole body had burst together!
Her face was full of wrinkles, as if all her vitality had been drained in an instant, and she fell straight and straight, without leaving a single word!
She's dead!
