Chapter 264: Assassination

In the palace of Benlong City, in the luxurious and exquisite "Imperial Study", the supreme ruler of Benlong City, Dragon King Long Wudao sat on a chair. The three important ministers stood opposite each other with their heads bowed, and Long Wudao tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, and the sound of dada was terrifying.

"What are the results of the investigation?" He spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse and low, as if he was not in good spirits.

"This ......," replied one of the courtiers with some hesitation, "we've already turned over the entire Outlaw City, and if nothing else, Captain Long and that team of Dragon Guards ...... Already ......"

Long Wudao's fingers stopped tapping, and the courtier was so frightened that he quickly stopped his mouth, and a strange sense of tension filled the air. Suddenly, Long Wudao suddenly got up and swept the things on the table to the ground.

"Nonsense, nonsense!" He roared furiously, "My son Breaking Cloud is the Soul War King, and he is already a top existence in this southern region, who can kill him, who can kill him?" ”

In the face of the old dragon king's anger, all three of them shrank their necks, like fledglings in a storm.

"And that dragon guard, it is the most elite soldier, and there is no shortage of soul warriors among them. Are they all dead too? Can't run out alone? Even if a seventh-level soul beast is attacking the city, it is not impossible for Poyun to escape! The old dragon king stared at the three people, "Tell me, why didn't my son escape, who was it that made them fall in the city of outlaws!" ”

"This ...... The subordinates also failed to investigate the ......"

"Waste, what do you want? Rubbish! Long Wudao grabbed a stack of "Songs" and threw them in their faces, "I can't do this thing well, what use do I want you?" ”

"Your Majesty, the changes in Outlaw City this time are extraordinary, not only our Benlong City, but also Qu Wufeng of Shanshui City, the Shadow King of Tianfeng City, and the Purple King of Outlaw City are all folded in it. In the entire city of outlaws, there is not a single living mouth. The subordinate quickly replied.

Long Wu was silent, and it took a long time before he sat down on the chair. "Are you trying to tell me that behind this matter, there is a more powerful mastermind behind the scenes than our three major cities?"

"The matter of Outlaw City is by no means accidental, it must be the result of someone manipulating, but the mastermind behind the scenes may not be stronger than our three major cities, otherwise there is no need to use such tricks."

"Hmph, this was told to you by the immortal cultivator at the liaison station, right?" Long Wudao sneered, "You bunch of waste, go and ask for help from the liaison station, don't you know?" ”

"Your Majesty forgives your sins!" The three of them turned pale and knelt down in unison.

"Get up, there is nothing that is not sinful." The old dragon king waved his hand, "He has been standing in my Benlong City for so many years, how many benefits he has taken, and he has eaten with a mouth full of oil, it is time to do something for our Long family." Also, what else did he say? ”

"Yes, the Immortal Chief of the Liaison Station also said that the mastermind behind this is not targeting any of the three major cities. The bureau he laid out was to bury the entire Outlaw City, although the details of the layout were unknown, but it was obvious that this person's purpose was to bury the soul stones in the Outlaw City. ”

"What about the Soul Stone? Isn't their liaison station able to locate the Soul Stone? ”

"There are no more, the immortal chief said that the soul stone should have been used."

"So we'll never catch this guy?" Long Wudao's anger tended to explode again.

"Your Majesty is angry," the courtier saw Long Wudao's expression, and hurriedly threw a bombshell. "The immortal chief said that the person who can set up such a situation must not be an ordinary person, it is very likely that he is also a person who cultivates immortals!"

Long Wudao's eyes flashed, "Immortal cultivators? Aren't all the immortal cultivators in this world under the control of the liaison station? ”

"The theory is so...... But the immortal chief also said that there are always some people who will accidentally awaken their talents, and they are unwilling to enter the door of the liaison station, such people, if the liaison station finds it, they will either be brought under the command or directly executed. ”

"Then we must speed up, once we are found by the liaison station and brought under the door, how can I avenge Breaking Cloud!" Long Wudao slapped the table, "Let me continue to investigate, focus on the immortal cultivators, use all your strength, and be sure to find out about this matter!" ”

"Subordinates obey!" The three of them all exited the room, in the empty and quiet study, Long Wudao sat quietly, and when his subordinates all withdrew, he let out a long sigh, leaned back in the chair, and showed a rare tiredness on his face. At this time, Long Wudao faded the aura of a ruler and became an ordinary old man again.

"Breaking the clouds, breaking the clouds......" A cloudy tear slipped from the corner of Long Wudao's eyes, "My son breaks the clouds, ......"

The weakness and sadness that he didn't dare to show in front of his subordinates were fully displayed at this moment. Long Wudao sobbed in pain, crying bitterly as a father.

Suddenly, there was a sound outside the door, followed by the sound of metal hitting the ground. As a king who had experienced countless killings, Long Wudao was immediately alert even in this sadness. He whispered, "Who's out there?" ”

With a squeak, the door opened, and the cool breeze and the light of the blood moon poured into the study. A man in the armor of the Dragon's Guard rushed in, holding a blood-dripping knife in his right hand, and through the moonlight, he could see another guard lying on the ground outside the door.

"How daring! How dare you assassinate this king! Long Wudao roared angrily, and the voice came from afar, and immediately, a footstep came like rain. The assassin was unmoved, and his long knife stood up, stabbing Long Wudao's heart.

The speed and strength of this knife are beyond Long Wudao's imagination, and this person's strength is quite not weak. Seeing the long knife reaching his chest, Long Wudao shouted, holding the blade tightly with both hands, and forcibly blocked the knife momentum.

Long Wudao was different from the old man in the valley, who had lived alone in the valley for decades, and had only eaten a little flesh and blood, and had long since run out of oil. And although Long Wudao is old, he still has residual power. At that moment, he exerted his strength, and the assassin's long knife could not even move an inch.

However, I don't know what kind of material this knife is made of, it is extremely sharp, and with Long Wudao's physical fitness, his hands are also cut by the blade and are bloody. The old dragon king was also hard, and let the blade sink deep into the palm of his hand, he raised his head, looked at the face under the assassin's mask, and said, "If you dare to assassinate this king, you are simply killing yourself!" ”

When the assassin saw that the long knife could not be used, he gave up his weapon and gave up his weapon. After all, the old dragon king was too old to react, and as soon as the other party withdrew, his body involuntarily leaned forward. The assassin twisted his wrist, and a spike popped out of his wrist.

Worst...... Long Wudao secretly screamed in his heart, the effects of aging were finally manifested, if he was young, he would have killed this assassin a long time ago, but at this time, he could only watch the spikes stab in front of his head.

"Dog thief, come here!" There was a loud shout in the air, and a figure lunged forward, fists blasting into the Assassin's back like cannonballs. This punch was so powerful that it pierced through the metal armor and pierced the assassin's chest directly through the chest.

The spikes froze in midair, and the assassin's body trembled twice, his hands hanging limply.
