Chapter 14: The Mask

Not only was this gargoyle one size larger, but it was also completely oppressive, its skin was no longer a slightly pale grayish-white, but instead pitch-black with a metallic sheen.

Judging from its appearance alone, its black surface defense is definitely not low.

"Gargoyle Chief! I'll go! In his head, Bingyan made a surprised sound.

Leader, just two simple words, made An Xu feel deep despair, an ordinary vampire, it was difficult for him to deal with, not to mention this gargoyle leader, this is definitely not an existence that he can contend with.

Luckily, the gargoyle leader didn't chase after the people who fell to the ground, perhaps judging that they had little ability to fight, and turned to pounce on the mercenaries who were intact, and those mercenaries hurriedly drew their weapons and fought with it.

Can't beat it! An Xu immediately judged the situation, the strength of this gargoyle leader far exceeded the one just now, but with a face-to-face effort, a mercenary was grabbed through the neck by it and killed on the spot.

"Lena, listen to me, An Xin is still in the house, take her and Dai'er, escape from here immediately, the farther away the better!" An Xu lowered his voice and looked at Lina on the side: "Quick, time is running out, I'll hold it off!" ”

Lina's face turned pale: "Then what should you do?" ”

"It's okay, I have a way to get out!" An Xu said perfunctorily, but the determination in his eyes was completely captured by Lina.

"No, it's always been our mother and daughter who have been dragging down your brothers and sisters, and I'm already very guilty," Lena held back her tears, and her slender fingers grabbed An Xu's wrist: "Now it's to save us, it's like this, how can you be left here alone?" If you want to run, let's run together! ”

Under the light of the fire, An Xu saw the stubbornness on Lena's face!

This is a poor woman!

Although there was not too much contact, An Xu knew that the young mother had been having a very difficult time.

As a man, sometimes he feels like he can't hold it anymore, if An Xin hasn't always acted as his belief, he doesn't know if he can persevere!

And this woman has to bear the grief of losing her husband while supporting a family alone, and even she can't do some manual work to earn money like An Xu.

But she took the child and survived all the way, who can imagine the hardships?

This is also an incomparably great woman!

Lena's expression looked a little wrong, An Xu secretly screamed that it was not good, he could understand that a person has endured too many things, when a moment suddenly a greater disaster befalls and makes people desperate, as long as they relax their faith, the madness that erupts is enough to make people lose their due reason.

I can't care about it so much, I have to let Lena take An Xin and them away immediately.

An Xu shook off Lina's hand and shouted, "Hurry up!" Look at your kids! Have you forgotten what a person has been holding on for so long? Can you bear to let such a small life die here with you? ”

Hearing An Xu's words, Lena's eyes regained a little color, and she lowered her head in a panic, looking at Dai'er who was clutching her skirt.

Her face was covered with dust, which looked like it had just been from the fall, and her white arm was also rubbed out of a blue and purple patch.

However, Daile did not cry at this time, but just looked at her mother timidly.

- This is her only reliance!

Lena couldn't help but feel distressed.

"It's not just for you, it's for myself. The situation is completely out of control, I can't stay out of it at all, An Xin can't have an accident! As a mother, you can understand my feelings! ”

An Xu slapped Lena on the shoulder, and then made a bunch of force, causing Lena to move a few steps.

"Don't hesitate, go quickly, I'll find a way to buy time! Be strong, don't let down the children's dependence on you, and don't do stupid things that give up on yourself! ”

"Our lives don't matter anymore, but theirs has just begun! This is your mission, and it is my responsibility! ”

After speaking, An Xu rushed into the battle with his weapon.

Not far away, the remaining two mercenaries were almost unable to hold on, and if no one stopped the gargoyle leader, everyone here would be killed immediately.

A look of pain flashed on Lina's face, gritted her teeth, picked up Dai'er, and then ran quickly down the street, and then pushed open the door of An Xu's house.

In the battlefield, another mercenary was cut in the chest, screamed and fell to the ground, there were only two people left who could stand on the entire field, and the other mercenary saw that the situation was wrong, and actually lost his weapon and fled!

At this time, he has completely lost his fighting spirit, and he has forgotten the precept of being a warrior, never leave his back to your enemies!

As a result, the gargoyle's flapping wings easily caught up with him, grabbed him by the shoulder, and flew him away.

It was only when he flew high in the air that the gargoyle let go of its claws, and the mercenary fell to the ground screaming, squirting out a mouthful of blood before losing his movement, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

"Brother!"

An Xin's cry sounded behind him, An Xu turned around, just in time to see Lena holding Dai'er with one hand and running away with An Xin with the other!

An Xin seemed to have discovered her brother's situation and struggled desperately, but how could she be a little girl who could break free, she could only be dragged back and kept retreating.

Seeing that someone wanted to run, the gargoyle made a gliding gesture in the air and whistled in the direction of Lena.

Under the reflection of the firelight, the figure flashed, and then the gargoyle saw An Xu behind it, and actually appeared in front of it, stopping on the road and staring at him expressionlessly.

If someone looked closely at this time, they could see a faint blue light flashing in An Xu's eyes, and even the bangs on his forehead floated as if they were blown by the wind.

As if sensing the aura of danger, the gargoyle leader stopped.

"Wind elemental fluctuations! Arousal? How can it be? Bingyan exclaimed, suddenly remembered something, and shouted in An Xu's mind: "Stop!" Brat! Before you reach this realm, you will die if you don't stop! ”

An Xu couldn't hear what Bingyan was saying at this moment, his attention was completely focused on the gargoyle, I don't know why, at this time, he felt extremely light, and even the movements of the gargoyle leader became a lot slower in his eyes.

The burning wooden houses around, the upside-down mercenaries, everything seems to have disappeared, and the whole world is only left with him and the gargoyle leader, and now An Xu has only one thought in his heart!

In any case, you can't let this gargoyle leader pass by you!

At this moment, the gargoyle leader moved, and his fierce instinct made him unable to hold back any longer, and rushed straight towards An Xu.

This attack can be seen clearly!

An Xu raised his sword to meet it, and accurately blocked the claws swung out by the gargoyle leader, the huge force made his wrists tremble, and he felt that the only strength he had left was rapidly draining.

The feeling of lightness also fades from time to time, as if it could be interrupted at any moment.

Can't put it off! An Xu's only sanity reminded him, and the blue light in his eyes was constantly beating, in stark contrast to the dark eyes of the gargoyle.

He took a step back, drew his sword, and leaned forward to swing it with a speed that the gargoyle leader couldn't dodge.

The sharp blade cut a shallow mark on the gargoyle leader's body, and this inferior weapon didn't seem to do much damage to the gargoyle leader, but it still made it take a step back.

Another sword, slicing sparks through the gargoyle's arm.

"Stop! You're really going to die! Bing Yan kept issuing warnings, but unfortunately An Xu couldn't hear any sound at all now, he took a step forward, wanting to carry out a continuous attack, but suddenly stiffened.

An Xu heard the sound of his own bones breaking!

The strength of his body seemed to have dissipated at this moment, in exchange for the incomparably heavy feeling of his body, the blue light in his eyes had disappeared, leaving only the blankness in his eyes?

I am, what's wrong?

He fell to the ground hard, and found that his body was completely unresponsive, and he couldn't move his fingers even if he wanted to, and on the ground, the shadow of the gargoyle leader was getting closer and closer.

Although it didn't know what was wrong with the enemy in front of it, it knew that it was a good time to attack.

The gargoyle leader raised his claws high, wanting to deliver the final blow to Anxu.

I'm going to...... Is it dead?

An Xu has completely lost his ability to resist, the heaviness of his body made his consciousness begin to blur, he wanted to close his eyes, but he was unwilling, he had survived so many years, did he finally have to fall here?

'W-', the sound of a blade piercing through flesh sounded.

But An Xu didn't notice any pain, he tilted his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the gargoyle in a claw-waving posture, standing still in place.

A blade glowing with silver light pierced its chest, revealing its sharp tip.

Then the sword flashed, and a silver cross slashed through the darkness, and then the body of the gargoyle leader was neatly split into four pieces, scattered on the ground, and the center of the cross was its heart.

The incomparably powerful gargoyle leader was killed in one hit?

The last thing An Xu saw was a man in a black cloak appearing in front of him.

The other party bent down and approached An Xu's face to take a look, a strange black mask appeared on his face, the whole mask only showed two eyes, and the rest of the place was smooth fabric, only there was a scratch on the cheek, which made it impossible to see the other party's appearance at all.

He stretched out his hand and put it under An Xu's nose for a moment, then stood up, jumped up the wall with a light leap, and disappeared into the night.

Who is it? Such a thought flashed through An Xu's mind, and then he couldn't hold on any longer, let go of the weapon in his hand, and slowly closed his eyes.

In the darkness, fragments of dusty memories kept emerging, and it was a familiar and vague voiceβ€”

"Hey! An Xu, why don't we go and be mercenaries? It's not a way to go on like this, An Xin is so young, the baby will not be able to stand it if she is displaced like this, I treat her as my own sister, even if you don't feel sorry, I'm distressed! ”

"Haha, great, this is the first reward that the two of us have earned, we can buy milk for An Xin, and we will make more money and buy a house in Hidden Moon City in the future!"

"An Xu, look at it, this is a new move I invented myself, I call it 'The world is invincible and sweeps the eight desolations with a sword to kill you', isn't it cool? You see Xin'er clapping her hands, do you want me to teach you? ”

"Are you stupid? You can't learn this! See clearly, I'll teach you one last time, and in return, you'll invite me to eat the barbecue at the gate of the city! ”

……

The voice kept chattering, chattering, even An Xu was a little annoyed, but he wanted to listen to it all the time, for fear that the voice would suddenly disappear and he would never hear it again.

Perhaps, I really ...... It's a ...... Stupid! Thinking like this, An Xu lost consciousness.
