Chapter 18: The Battle of the Two Battlefields
Arrowen's cold voice echoed through the streets, the bleak moonlight shone on Zonke's corpse, which had not yet completely lost its temperature, and his face took on a strange blue and white color under the reflection of the moonlight, and the eerie atmosphere made people feel chills down their spine.
At this time, the people in the shopping street have already fallen asleep, there is no wind around, and in the quiet environment, they can only hear their own breathing and heartbeat, which does not look like anyone else at all.
But there was no wavering on Arowen's face, just a calm gaze in a certain direction.
After a while, two figures stepped out of the shadows of the alley.
The figures came from far and near, and Arowen gradually saw the whole picture of these two uninvited guests.
They all looked very old, one was a beautiful girl with red eyes, wearing a black combat uniform with an oriental style that was easy to move, and beautiful long black hair poured down like a waterfall. One is a handsome young man with dark brown hair, wearing a white hooded trench coat, and there is a light called strength in his pupils.
It was one of the duos of Night Raid, Red Hitomi and Tazmi.
Arowen looked the two of them up and down, the corners of his mouth curled in an arc of unknown meaning.
"Sure enough, it's the killers of the night attack, one of them is still the famous red pupil on the wanted notice, and the other ......"
Arowen glanced at Tazmi, who was full of nervousness, and suddenly laughed: "Hey, what a green expression...... Teenager, you should still be a newcomer, right? β
"Less, less verbose! I won't always be a newcomer! β
Tazmi retorted loudly, his face flushed.
"You have a very good look in your eyes, you have the potential to become a good soldier, it's a shame to be a killer."
Arowen sighed as if he was sorry, and then his eyes suddenly became fierce: "Hey, boy. Since you have chosen to be a killer, do you have the consciousness to be killed at any time as the one who kills? β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
Under Arovin's oppressive gaze, Tazmi subconsciously took a step back, sensing his gaffe, he stared back, and then said in a firm voice: "Becoming a killer is a decision I made after careful consideration, and I know it's a bad thing, so I'll bear the sins I have committed...... Even at the cost of my own life, I will sweep away the sins of this empire and make the people happy! β
"Oh, it's great, it's like a hero of justice, it's really hot blood to eradicate evil or something, I'm going to burn."
Arrowen clapped his hands exaggeratedly, then showed a mocking expression, and sarcastically mocked him unceremoniously: "...... But ah, too young! It's naΓ―ve! This world is not simple enough to be changed by just killing a few villains, if it were that simple, war would not exist a long time ago! β
"With the so-called fantasy of saving the world, in fact, it's just a little ghost who hasn't grown up, this kind of boring dream talk for me to leave in my dreams to say!"
was sneered at by Arovin, Tazmi's face turned blue and white, but he couldn't say anything to refute it, if it was about playing tricks, Arowen, who had been in the officialdom for many years, almost dumped him a few streets.
"It's useless to talk too much."
A cold voice suddenly sounded, interrupting their conversation.
Red Hitomi pulled out the sword at her waist, held the handle with both hands, and raised it to the upper right side of her body, her eyes were very determined, and she did not waver in any way because of Arowen's words.
"Arrowen, you are Javier's most relied on lieutenant, and you are also one of the main assassination targets of the night raid, be enlightened, I will bury you here."
"Hey, you're full of murderous aura, you have a very beautiful face, but the words you say are very scary, how many people do you kill to condense such a terrifying murderous aura? What a terrible woman. β
The corners of Arrowen's mouth cracked back, revealing a smile full of pleasure and excitement.
"Interesting, Demon Knife Village Rain and Red Pupil, I've heard of the big name for a long time, it seems that you can bring me more fun than Zank. Come on, it's okay for the two of you to go together. β
Unaffected by Arovin's simple provocation, the red pupils stared at the man in front of him with a solemn expression, the muscles in his body tensed, and he said without looking back: "Tazmi, you don't have to participate in the next battle, find a safe place to hide yourself!" β
"No! How can you fight alone! I'm going to be with youβ"
"That's not an enemy you can deal with! With your current strength, you can only hold back, and I have no room to be distracted to take care of you! β
Interrupting Tazmi's words, Red Hitomi spoke the brutal truth without mercy.
When they were drawn to the sound of the battle, the battle between Arowen and Zank was coming to an end, and it wasn't long before Arowen was seen slaying Zank there.
Although the observation time was short, with the excellent eyesight honed by years of assassination work, the red pupil still saw the level of strength of Arowen - the undisputed first-class powerhouse in the world!
Even as a night raid ace killer, without adequate preparation, he is not completely sure that he will bury Arrowen, let alone carry a drag oil bottle that is not up or down.
Tazmi lowered his head when he heard this, his teeth clattered, obviously his mood was not calm at the moment, but he couldn't change anything, only a deep feeling of powerlessness welled up in his heart like a tide.
Although he was very unwilling, he knew that what Red Hitomi said was the truth.
He is too weak, although he has also had a record of killing the ghost Okka, but that is actually nothing, Oka can only be in the middle of the empire at most, and there is nothing to be proud of when he kills him.
Once he encounters a truly strong person, his ability will not be of much use at all, and there is even a great possibility that he will drag his companions into a dangerous situation.
The idea of wanting to become stronger, wanting to have the power to protect his companions, has gradually germinated in his heart.
"I see, you have to be careful yourself."
With that, Tazmi retreated out of the battle circle, leaving Red Hitomi alone to face Arrowen.
"Oh? Don't want to put your juniors in danger? It's really a gentle killer senior. β
Arrowen said in a tone that was indistinguishable whether it was praise or ridicule.
"Down with you, it's enough for me alone!"
The red pupils were expressionless, and the cold killing intent in the red pupils was almost overflowing.
"Amazing self-confidence! is worthy of being the ace killer of night attacks, this momentum is really good! β
Arrowen appreciated the calmness and self-confidence that belonged to the strong, and it was a great pleasure for him to fight with such a person and defeat him completely.
"Come on, then! Come and kill me! I'll do my best, too, to kill you! β
The invisible murderous aura collided together, and the surrounding air was slightly distorted, and the killing intent drove the flowing air current, rolling up the wild land.
"Bury!"
The red pupil suddenly raised the knife, approaching Arowen in an instant, the speed was as fast as the wind, and the demon knife in his hand slashed from above, and the strong wind was wrapped around the knife body, tearing through the barrier of the atmosphere, and cutting out the fierce knife.
That momentum seemed to be about to split Arowen in half!
Arowen laughed wildly, his body jumped like a vigorous cheetah, and the eight-foot black stabbed out one after another, each sword was like a fangs from the shadows, strange and ruthless, and fought with the red pupil without showing weakness.
The shadow of the sword and the light of the sword crossed the arc reflecting the light of the moon in the night, like the beautiful lines of the painter's brush, intertwined with each other, colliding with white-hot sparks, the aftermath of the fighting spirit shattered the bluestone paved road, and the uninhabited commercial street reverberated with the shocking melody woven by steel and power.
They fought with all their might, dancing the dance of death at the most dangerous distance, each confrontation was a brush with death, and if one side made a mistake, the next second his throat would be pierced by the opponent's weapon.
They are a powerful warrior galloping on the battlefield, an ace killer lurking in the shadows, two people who were originally unrelated, but at this moment, they must be separated from life and death.
There is no right or wrong in this, the reason for this death match is nothing more than a difference in positions and beliefs.
They all had their own reasons for fighting, and they were convinced that it was the right thing to do, and that anyone who stood in their way could only be killed.
Outside the battle circle, Tazmi stood there blankly, his eyes wide and round, his mouth subconsciously open, not knowing how to close.
It was the first time he had seen the red pupils who were going all out, and to be honest, it was hard to find the right words to describe his mood at the moment.
That terrifying reaction speed, as well as that fierce and fierce swordsmanship, was not at the same level as him at all.
In the face of such a red pupil, he can't even have any desire to fight, because the moment he fights, the winner will be decided.
Now that I think about it, it was really too big to survive under the sword blade of the red pupil that night, thanks to the village chief's amulet.
The strength of the red pupil has already surprised Tazmi, but the presence of Arrowen makes him even more frightened, he can confront that red pupil head-on, and can force him to fall into the wind, what kind of divine is this man!
Yes, the red pupil is in a bitter battle.
With the demon sword Murayu, who has a slash and kills, the close-range white-knuckle battle is extremely beneficial to her, as long as she can cut a small hole in the opponent's body, the victory will belong to her.
However, what is so simple in a normal task is now so difficult to do.
Indeed, the red pupil's demon knife brought a certain amount of pressure to Arowen, because of the open-hanging characteristic of Murayu's one-shot kill, Arowen had to pay more attention to defense in the battle, and there were few opportunities for counterattack, and he was passive for a long time.
But even so, with such favorable conditions, the red pupil couldn't hurt Arowen in the slightest.
Because she couldn't break the sword web that Arowen had weaved, that kind of defensive sword power was even more difficult to penetrate than the iron wall, and there was no gap to be found at all.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she already knew in her heart that Arowen's swordsmanship strength was above her, and it was impossible to win with her sword skills, and there was no other way to win than to make use of Murayu's characteristics.
In any case, it will be an uphill battle and it will be difficult to say who will win and who will lose.
β¦β¦
At the time when the battle was raging on Arowen's side, a new situation occurred here in Seleu, who was patrolling the XC area at this time.
In a certain corner of the XC area, three figures stood opposite each other, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
Seleuc looked at the two people in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze, it was already past twelve o'clock in the evening, and it would not feel normal to appear here at such a time with a lethal weapon.
And there was a faint aura of warriors on their bodies, although this feeling was extremely faint, but Seleuc obviously did not think that it was his own delusion.
Both of them are girls in their prime, one is a petite girl with a pink double ponytail and a long-sleeved dress. One is a glasses lady with dark purple waist-length hair and an elegant cheongsam.
Seleuc especially carefully examined the face of the spectacled lady, a very beautiful face, with the innocence of a girl and the gentleness of a mature woman, and it must be difficult for any able-bodied man to be unmoved by this beauty.
Although a shallow scar on her right cheek was a minor blemish, it did not detract from the beauty of the face, but rather added a kind of beauty to the owner of the face.
However, these are not the focus of Seleu's attention, she is a girl and not a man, let alone a lily, and no matter how beautiful the woman in front of her is, it is none of her business.
What was particularly important to Seleuc was that the face felt quite familiar to her, as she had seen it on the Empire's wanted notices more than once.
"Your face, as well as the big scissors emperor behind you, are exactly the same as on the wanted post, you can conclude that it is Hill of the night attack, and judging from the imperial tool in your possession, the woman who is traveling with you can also be concluded to be a member of the night attack......"
Saileu's eyes were buried deep in the shadow of Liu Hai'er, making it impossible to see her expression, but from the rising momentum, you could feel her heart surging like an angry wave.
"You criminals, who are enemies of the captain, dare to appear in front of me so blatantly...... Although the first priority this time is to decapitate Zonk's capture, the captain has said that night raids are a more priority than decapitating Zonk, and since I have encountered it here, I must not let you leave easily! β
Sai Leu quickly untied the special whirling stick at his waist, held a weapon in each hand, and let go of his steps slightly, stabilized the lower plate, and put on a fighting posture.
"The falcon belongs, Seleuc Yubikitas! In the name of justice, you wicked people must be condemned for this! β
The declaration of judgment has been delivered, and from now on, Seleuc will take out all the fruits of her practice over the past few days and carry out the faith in her heart.
"Tsk, it's so hot! Forget about the sudden attack, and I've been talking to myself all the time, what are you doing! β
Ma Yin smashed her mouth in displeasure, and then looked at Hill beside her as if asking: "What should I do now?" β
"You can only go to war, since she sees your appearance, then you can only kill her here!"
Hill said with a solemn expression: "Be careful Mayne, I feel a very dangerous aura from this girl, and I must not take it lightly!" β
"It doesn't matter how strong the other party is, now it's two against one, and we have no chance of losing in this favorable situation!"
Ma Yin smiled confidently, the pumpkin was ready to shoot.
"Then, the first move will win!"
Ma Yin suddenly lifted the pumpkin up, and the muzzle of the gun burst into sparks of gunsmoke, accompanied by a violent gunshot, and countless bullets rained down on Seleu like a storm!
Some of the spinning bullets shot into the ground, stirring up rocks and dust, and for a moment the smoke and dust filled the air, blurring the vision.
ββ¦β¦ Killed? β
The smoke and dust dissipated, and a huge and hideous white ** beast stood in front of Seleuc's body at some point, it used its body to block most of the bullets, and many craters of different sizes were shot out of its chest, and it was still rushing outward, but it was repairing at a very fast speed.
"Is this guy also an imperial envoy? Hey, it's troublesome......" Mayne's heart sank.
Hill suddenly shouted, "Mayne! It was a hundred-armed giant in literature, and if it didn't break the core of the Imperial Tool, it would continue to regenerate! β
"I know! I've read that document many times! That's why the guy with rough skin and thick flesh is the most annoying! β
"Xiao Ke, predation!"
Seeing that the pumpkin temporarily stopped shooting due to overheating, Sai Leu immediately seized the opportunity and gave Xiao Ke an attack order.
There are snipers on the other side, and this dangerous enemy should be eliminated first.
"Quackββ!"
Xiao Ke suddenly opened his bloody mouth and pounced on Ma Yin, the fishy smell of the beast's mouth came to his face, and he could also see the sharp fangs that flashed with the cold light of the forest, if he was bitten by it, he would be torn apart by the terrible biting force in an instant.
"Mayne! Retire! β
Hill suddenly rushed over, protecting Ma Yin behind him, his cold gaze under the frames of his glasses was like the gaze of death, and he felt no emotion, like a sophisticated killing machine.
At the moment when Xiao Ke approached, everything swung forward violently, slashing out an incredible arc of light, cutting a long and hideous huge wound, and a large piece of flesh and blood flew up and down, and the splash of blood stained her cheongsam red, like a blood-colored wedding dress.
"Quack, ahββ!"
With a terrible scream, Xiao Keru was hit hard and rolled over a distance of more than ten meters, breaking five or six tall and lush street trees along the road, and finally stopped in front of a wall, the wall was knocked out of a spider web-shaped crack, and the wall soil slowly slid down, revealing dark cyan stone bricks.
"I'm sorry."
With a verbal apology, Ciel shook off the remaining blood from the scissors and pointed his cold, sharp gaze at Seleuc.
