Chapter 265: The Assassin Returns
The wind was still blowing, and it was fundamentally different from the cold air released by Zhang Zhijie before. There was a different kind of sense of separation in the wind, as if there was a low murderous aura.
Zhang Zhijie fully realized this, and he quickly began to look around. Of course, the magic aura in his hand that was enough to kill people never looked at Shen Mengting in front of him again.
Shen Mengting also felt the strangeness of the surrounding environment, she lay on the ground and did not get up immediately, but twisted her neck to look around.
The scene of the wind is the fluttering of dust on the ground. But there is one thing that is really very concerning, that is, the ground has long been frozen by Zhang Zhijie, where does the dust come from?
What the hell is going on? Shen Mengting sped up her breathing.
Soon after, the wind speed was getting stronger and stronger, and almost all of Zhang Zhijie's hair was blown.
"You woman!" Suddenly, Zhang Zhijie turned his gaze to Shen Mengting, who was still lying on the ground. Among them, his pair of deer-shaped eye sockets also revealed an emotion that was enough to kill the other party.
Shen Mengting gasped when she saw this, and she was about to step back, but the feeling of her legs being tied made her realize that she was still moved by layers of deep ice.
"I even called an assassin to help!" Zhang Zhijie shouted.
Shen Mengting seemed to be a little unable to react, she didn't understand what Zhang Zhijie was talking about at all. Still, the profession of 'Assassin' is deeply embedded in her heart.
"What? ...... you"
Just as Shen Mengting was about to tell something, the feeling of wind around her intensified. The wind seems to be blowing so fast that you can't open your eyes.
Zhang Zhijie angrily thrust his staff into the ground, and he turned back with bared teeth, "Do you think I will be afraid of harassment by a high-ranking assassin?"
Another incomprehensible sentence, Shen Mengting continued to pour breath into her throat in surprise. When it comes to the profession of assassin, she is very, very unfamiliar. Her kingdom of Saran also had no plans to train Assassins through streaming. So it was impossible for her to know any Assassins, so why should she call this profession to help?
Shen Mengting fell into doubts, she wanted to take advantage of Zhang Zhijie's thoughts to escape from this place secretly.
But it was only when she was about to pull out the feet that were buried in the ice that she realized that this was not feasible at all. The ice had frozen so firmly up to her ankles that it was almost impossible for her to stand up.
"Ahh
But it was at this moment that Shen Mengting understood a point. There were still dots around the dots, and after these dots were connected into a line, she understood something in a trance.
'I know the Assassins! In an incident not long ago, I saw the power of three Assassins. Of course, it's not just knowledge, I even cultivated a ...... with one of the human assassins' Shen Mengting wanted to use 'friendship' to add to the relationship between her and the assassin, but the reality told her that the assassin didn't seem to have any 'friendship' in his heart.
So......
Shen Mengting blinked, capturing every move of her surroundings.
The wind was almost uncontrollable by this time, and it seemed as if it was going to blow everything in the woods.
Zhang Zhijie raised his arms excitedly, "Hahaha! It's really interesting! I, Zhang Zhijie, have fought with countless professions, but I have never met with an assassin......! Isn't that a great opportunity?" his body was still floating from laughter.
Looking at the man's back, Shen Mengting only felt that she was looking at an aggressive martial idiot.
"Come on, if you have the ability, show up quickly! Don't be so sneaky!" Zhang Zhijie's outstretched arms slowly raised again. It could be seen that he had already lifted the magical aura in his body.
Do you want to stop doing it? Shen Mengting asked herself this question all over again. And if this is the case, Shen Mengting must hurry up and escape.
At one point, the gale reached its most intense point. But after that, it quickly lowered. The environment also seems to be moving towards what it was before the wind blew.
But Zhang Zhijie knew one thing: the cessation of the gale was a prelude to the enemy's attack.
Sure enough, at the moment when the wind completely disappeared, an extremely hidden air flow suddenly flashed next to it. Zhang Zhijie immediately judged that the enemy was coming, and he released his magic energy in an instant.
I could see a beam of blue light coming out violently, and when the light was no longer dazzling, Zhang Zhijie had already made a release action. A cold light was sent to his right, and there was another scene of ice and snow.
"Hah, cunning assassin, you ......" was still swearing his words. But it didn't take long for Zhang Zhijie to frown and close her mouth.
Because the attack he had just made did not hit the enemy at all, and in turn caused the enemy to completely disappear from his senses.
"This ...... Yes...... Damn!" Zhang Zhijie quickly turned around, and he glared at Shen Mengting who was still lying on the ground, "You woman! There are so many ghost ideas! I used to be able to find an archer to help, but now I can actually find an assassin!"
"I don't understand what you're talking about!Zhang Zhijie!" Shen Mengting wanted to crawl backwards. But just when I was about to implement it, I remembered that my legs were still stuck in the ice.
"Don't pretend anymore! isn't that assassin you found?" Zhang Zhijie casually pointed in a direction.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something, and quickly turned around again. The Assassin's aura returned, and it was still extremely unstable in its surroundings.
"Don't think you can dodge again!" Zhang Zhijie launched an icy attack towards his side.
The ice pillar was pushed out of his hand, and it pointed straight at the position in front of Zhang Zhijie's left. In that direction, too, there was indeed a flickering air current.
"Die!"
But just as the ice pillar was about to touch the flash of air, it suddenly passed straight through. Then, the air flow disappeared, but it was just a few ice crystals.
"Ahh
But he quickly adjusted his mind and unleashed a series of icicle attacks in other directions.
I can see that Zhang Zhijie is constantly attacking in a hurry, but every time he uses his skills, he only touches a little bit of the enemy's skin. The enemy always seems to be able to anticipate their attacking position and then calmly dodge.
This...... Could it be the speed of an assassin? Shen Mengting's heart let out an exclamation.
Zhang Zhijie's attacks were in the air all the time, and he had destroyed almost all the trees in the vicinity.
"Damn, you assassin from nowhere, you think...... Do you think ......" Zhang Zhijie sent out a cold icicle in front of him as he spoke.
However, this attack was also pointlessly dodged by the enemy. After the air flow that was different from the surrounding environment disappeared, the icicles passed directly through it. The icicle hits a tree behind it, sending it into deep icing mode.
"Damn!" Zhang Zhijie screamed wildly, revealing the two tiger teeth in his mouth.
The assassin's speed was so fast that he couldn't find a single point of attack, "Damn!" he prepared to change directions.
Every time he had failed in his previous attacks, it had been because the enemy was an extremely fast Assassin. Presumably, the assassin must have used skills such as Wind Walk to dodge Zhang Zhijie's attack.
This is also the reason why there is an inexplicable fast flow of air in the surrounding area. The Assassin was constantly roaming around Zhang Zhijie.
Faced with the inexplicable air flow that flashed on the left for a while, and then appeared on his right for a while, and even directly in front of or even behind, Zhang Zhijie was even more angry.
"This assassin! is really ......" he tried to describe the other party as 'insidious', but thought that he also deserved the title, so he still didn't say it.
At this point, it seems that the situation has changed. The air currents that flickered around seemed to be gone, and it no longer wandered randomly, but seemed to be gathering breath.
Zhang Zhijie immediately understood one thing, that is, the assassin was going to take the initiative to attack.
A secret smile came out in his heart, and Zhang Zhijie's teeth immediately bared out again, it was a good thing for the enemy to attack. Because if you launch an offensive move, it means that the enemy will no longer scatter their aura around. He will concentrate on one point and then attack Zhang Zhijie.
Zhang Zhijie was also waiting for this opportunity: Ahahaha! Assassin, do you want to attack me? Then come!
With rippling feelings in his heart, Zhang Zhijie suddenly raised his hand.
"Be careful!" Shen Mengting behind her actually roared to remind.
"Dead woman, you better take care of yourself!" Zhang Zhijie's eyes immediately tilted in the direction of Shen Mengting behind him.
The Assassin's attack was about to strike, and then the hidden air currents began to move again. I saw it flickering quickly in front of Zhang Zhijie, and when it circled to its right, it suddenly disappeared.
Zhang Zhijie smiled at this, hooking the corners of one side of his mouth, "You come!" He thought that he had seen through the other party's attack style, so he was not worried at all.
After the air flow disappeared to Zhang Zhijie's right, it suddenly rose to his left. However, this spike is closer. It was almost close to Zhang Zhijie's body.
"Are you coming?" Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but raise her voice.
He suddenly moved the staff he was holding to a position on his left. Of course, he still had an evil smile on his face.
That is, after a second, an inexplicable blow appeared out of thin air on the staff held by Zhang Zhijie. A 'snap' can be heard, followed by the appearance of a rapier.
"Finally...... Are you finally going to show your prototype?" Zhang Zhijie increased the hook of his mouth, and his careless movement of raising his staff blocked the enemy assassin's attack with all his body.
As the rapier was fully revealed, so did the man who wielded it. First the hands clasped to the hilt, and then the arms that connect the torso and wrists. Eventually, the assassin's entire body appeared on Zhang Zhijie's left.
The Assassin seemed to be using all his might, as could be seen by his clenched teeth. But even though he was about to wave the thin sword in his hand, Zhang Zhijie's staff was standing straight in front of him.
"Huh, that's the only ability?" Zhang Zhijie smiled at the assassin with satisfaction.
The Assassin was a young man in his twenties, with eyes that looked like light bulbs and cheekbones that were about to poke into his throat!
'Ahh
Chen Tianhao actually appeared in this place. After the separation from the last time, Shen Mengting thought that she would never see him again. But he's here now, and he's fighting his enemies.
What the hell is going on? Shen Mengting's eyes showed surprise. It seems that Chen Tianhao has never left, and he seems to have been by Shen Mengting's side.
Suddenly, an idea popped into Shen Mengting's mind, that is, Chen Tianhao had actually been following behind their team all along.
"Ah, is that really the case?" Shen Mengting lifted her upper body. She could feel the deep freezing ice on her buttocks, and the biting cold in it was extremely uncomfortable.
She really wanted to go up and ask Chen Tianhao, but the reality did not allow her to do so.
Chen Tianhao and Zhang Zhijie are still facing off. However, judging from the visual situation alone, Chen Tianhao seems to have fallen into the disadvantage.
Zhang Zhijie didn't look like he was at all, he even bared his teeth and smiled crookedly at Chen Tianhao next to him, "Haha! It turned out to be a young assassin! Alas, I didn't expect this!" Zhang Zhijie's eyes glanced behind him, and there was Shen Mengting lying down, "I admire this woman more and more now, how can I always recruit reinforcements!"
Chen Tianhao didn't talk nonsense, he immediately withdrew his weapon after knowing that the thin sword in his hand could no longer hurt the other party. After shaking his head to confirm whether the enemy had a defensive gap, Chen Tianhao stabbed it again.
However, this sword was still easily blocked by Zhang Zhijie - it was still blocked with a magic staff.
"Assassin, there's no way you're going to hurt me, because ...... Your professional level is too low!" Zhang Zhijie let out an evil smile.
Chen Tianhao also realized this, and he quickly withdrew the thin sword that he had stabbed forward before. Although it was only a brief contact, Chen Tianhao could still sense the enemy's strength.
This person is definitely not an idle person, from the fact that he can flexibly use skills such as ice sticks, Chen Tianhao judged that he is at least a magician above the expert level.
Since he was an expert, it would be almost impossible to defeat this person! Chen Tianhao quickly changed his fighting form. He took a few steps back.
"Well, what's wrong, don't you attack, assassin!" Zhang Zhijie looked directly at the assassin in front of him.
"You'll find out later!" Chen Tianhao shouted after this sentence, and his entire body disappeared out of thin air.
Just like the scattered quicksand, where Chen Tianhao used to stand, in the end it was just a cloud of smoke.
"Oh, do you want to be invisible again?" the corners of Zhang Zhijie's mouth hooked, "But your trick is in vain, I can easily locate you!"
When Shen Mengting saw this, she immediately took a deep breath. She knew that there was only one reason for Zhang Zhijie's posture, and that was to release the Frozen Nova.
"Chen Tianhao! Beware! He ......" Before the words came out of his mouth, he had already seen the cold air spreading out from Zhang Zhijie's side.
Zhang Zhijie had already used the 'Frozen Nova' skill, and he saw that a torrent of cold air was spreading out from the side of his legs standing upright. The cold air spreads like waves crashing on the beach, violently spreading to the surrounding area.
Shen Mengting hurriedly picked up the giant sword next to her, and then thrust it into the ground with all her might, and in an instant, a golden wall of light appeared in front of her.
Shen Mengting could use the swordsman shield wall to resist the enemy's cold current, but what about Chen Tianhao? Shen Mengting couldn't help but worry about that assassin. Because the Assassins had almost no defensive skills.
"Shen Mengting! You're good! You know how to use the shield wall to defend against my attack! But what...... That assassin wasn't so lucky!" Zhang Zhijie twitched his lower nose and shouted.
The icy cold current spreads outward in a circle, as if it is about to hit the blurred air currents everywhere. If it continues, the scene of Chen Tianhao's legs being frozen will be revealed immediately.
"Chen Tianhao!" Shen Mengting shouted the name again.
Sadly, not far from the left slope, an assassin with a sword and his feet frozen appeared as a wave of cold air swept past the ground.
"Haha! What an unfortunate thing! Your stealth skills are useless in front of my Frost Nova!" Zhang Zhijie took the opportunity to take a walk and laughed.
Chen Tianhao was 'hungry' at first, and his eyes were firmly fixed on his frozen feet. However, just when everyone thought the Assassin was going to be captured, a miracle happened.
Chen Tianhao's body seemed to be poured with a bucket of blood-red paint, and his whole person seemed to be wrapped in a coat with red wax. Immediately afterward, his body ushered in a rapid burst of transparency. The translucency not only made his body feel unrestrained, but also the preposition that his legs inserted into the ice broke free from the frozen ice.
Zhang Zhijie was very surprised when he saw this, he didn't have time to make any surprised remarks, Chen Tianhao had already broken the frozen 'shackles' on the ground.
"Ahh......h
Chen Tianhao had just used the Shadow Cloak, an Assassin skill. It was a powerful trick that would allow the Assassin to escape from all restraints. Assassins who use this skill often enter the semi-invincible stage after their bodies have experienced a blood-red state. This way, you can access spells that the enemy has placed on you.
Breaking free of the ice on the ground, Chen Tianhao used the wind step again.
"Ah, do you want to attack me, but I'm telling you, you're dreaming!" Zhang Zhijie immediately stretched out his right hand, which was about to cast a spell.
But Chen Tianhao didn't attack, and he quickly ran in the direction of Shen Mengting. Almost in the blink of an eye, the assassin came to the female swordsman's reluctance.
"Chen Tianhao, why are you ......?"
"Don't say anything now, let's leave this place first!" Parallel to Chen Tianhao's words, he used his thin sword to remove the ice next to Shen Mengting.
His strength as an assassin was not enough, so Shen Mengting added her own strength, only to see her jump up with force, and finally got rid of the force that was bound to her feet.
Seeing that Shen Mengting had regained her freedom, Chen Tianhao immediately grabbed her arm, "Go-"
Pulled by an assassin who immediately unleashed a swift wind step, Shen Mengting herself also ran with the wind.
Zhang Zhijie tried to stop it, but the assassin's escape speed was too fast. Before they could blink, the two men suddenly disappeared.
"Ah......" Zhang Zhijie roared angrily when he saw this, and the staff he was carrying quickly thrust into the ground, "Shen Mengting, do you think you can escape, I will catch up with you sooner or later!"
made an angry remark, and Zhang Zhijie vented a cold arrow to the side. So, a big tree in the distance was frozen again.
And the entire forest, which had long been destroyed by Zhang Zhijie, was now left with Zhang Zhijie alone.
