Chapter 165: Sneak Attack
Li Ling nodded, and did not continue to argue with Her Highness Ina, but raised his steps and walked to the edge of the high platform.
Below, the crowd of black crushed to climb the 100-step stairs towards the high platform.
Some men who looked exceptionally strong were the first to climb the high platform, shouting slogans to drive all outsiders back to their hometowns as they swarmed towards Li Ling.
It was like a surging black torrent, and the decorations and ornaments arranged in the place where it passed were instantly smashed into powder, and there was not a trace of waves in sight.
"Li Ling!" Bren was suddenly a little scared, afraid that Li Ling would be torn to pieces by the angry crowd. But the scene in front of him was developing too fast, Li Ling had just taken a few steps ahead, and the flow of people below immediately rushed up, surrounding Li Ling in three circles inside and three circles outside. And after that, it seemed that a whirlpool of people had formed in the place where Li Ling had just been, and the crowd that kept coming up began to rotate along the place where Li Ling was submerged.
Bren shouted for everyone to retreat, but the angry crowd had lost their minds and just crowded forward.
"Don't be afraid, Bren! If Li Ling dies so easily, then he is not worthy of being the commander of our royal city, let alone your identity! Ina walked over and pressed Bren's body to persuade her.
Bren looked at Ina and saw a jealous look and a gloating smile in her calm countenance. Her expression was in a trance, and even for a moment, Her Highness Ina's face was as hideous as a beast.
Brun's mouth opened wide in surprise and stared at Ina even more curiously.
Sensing Bren's intent, Ina smiled a little unnaturally. even measured her body slightly, so that she could not see her face.
But even from the side, Bren was surprised to see that two fangs were slowly growing out of Ina's mouth, and they continued to extend upwards. "Sure enough, all this is like Li Ling's, it was Mia and Ina who did it on purpose, but Li Ling obviously knew all this, why did he rush into the crowd without hesitation, was he really confident that he could still walk out of the crowd unharmed?"
Bren's mind was in turmoil.
……
Look at the crowd rushing up with great momentum. Li Ling himself was a little nervous, although everyone was required to unload their weapons before entering the square, no one dared to guarantee that no one had hidden weapons on their bodies. Moreover, even if these people don't have any weapons, even if one of them throws a punch at him and bites it, he will be eaten clean.
Therefore, what he has to do now is no longer to quell the rebellion as Her Highness Ina has requested. It's about saving your own life.
And the simplest and most effective way is to deal with those who rush to the front quickly and ruthlessly enough, so that other followers will know that it is difficult to retreat.
Li Ling thought as his gaze quickly moved through the crowd. The man at the front had high cheekbones and turned lips, looking completely ugly and savage, but his appearance looked like a warrior who had been trekking in the wilderness all year round, and the strong man with a tiger's back and a thick beard on his left was more like a battle-hardened general. The one on the right hand was actually a woman with clear eyebrows, which surprised Li Ling, and he wanted to let go of this woman who rushed straight towards him, but the moment he and the woman met their eyes, Li Ling's heart trembled slightly, except for jealousy, the eyes that should have been full of eyebrows were completely cold, emotionless and soulless.
"It seems that these people are the so-called awakened ones, and they are the kind of awakened people whose nature has been worn out for the most part, and who are absolutely loyal to their guides." Li Ling thought in his heart, and he guessed that these people all belonged to the forces of His Highness Ina.
"Why don't you make a move, what are you waiting for here?" A voice sounded in Li Ling's head, as if someone was talking close to his ear.
"Clara!?" Li Ling asked in surprise and looked around, except for those hideous faces, there was no one beside him. "Are you a remnant? Where are you? ”
"Just call me Clara, I'm still in your consciousness, but I feel like I'm ...... Forget it, I don't know, anyway, I don't think I'm just a remnant. ”
"What's that?"
"There's less nonsense, it's important to save your life, these guys rushing towards you are hopeless, let's do it!" Clara to.
"Bang!" As soon as Clara's words fell, the man who rushed to the front had already punched Li Ling's eye socket. Li Ling screamed in pain.
Immediately after, more fists beckoned towards Li Ling's body.
Li Ling knew that Clara's words were true, and the situation in front of him could no longer allow him to hesitate. Once the negative emotions of the crowd are completely ignited, the more people you kill, not only will it not make others retreat, but it will stimulate the crowd to be more crazy.
Li Ling dodged a kick sideways, and his body hurriedly retreated some distance. Then he stopped. Some people had already bypassed Li Ling in advance and ran behind him, as if they intended to cut off Li Ling's back path and completely surround him.
Li Ling clenched his fists tightly and was ready to attack. And silently prayed in his heart that these people still maintained their last calm. What he feared most was that these people would rush towards him like emotionless walking corpses, and he would have to fight his way out of the crowd in order to save his life.
Perhaps his prayers worked, and the three guys at the front came to a halt in unison. The men who followed behind the three also stopped when they saw the situation. The crowd gradually slowed down, and after a period of pushing and shoving, it was considered to have stabilized temporarily, but it was still scolding uncleanly, wanting to swallow Li Ling alive.
Li Ling exhaled truthfully.
"You've got no way out, arrogant and pathetic fellow!" The guy who punched Li Ling just now said with a cruel smile.
"Your Highness Brun, you dare to get involved, do you think that the men in the city of Gaia are all useless ornaments?" The bearded man said viciously.
"Don't talk nonsense with this guy, beat him up first!" The woman sandwiched between the two said.
The three of them immediately put on a posture and cautiously and quickly surrounded Li Ling.
Li Ling's fists clenched, and he suddenly grinned: "If you dare to hurt the person entrusted by Her Majesty Mia, you will not only harm yourself, but also return Her Highness Ina!" ”
The three of them were stunned and looked at each other.
"Offended!" Li Ling suddenly shouted, and rushed towards the three of them like lightning.
The thick-lipped man reacted the fastest, and when Li Ling's body just moved, he punched in the direction of Li Ling.
Li Ling leaned slightly to the side, and slammed his shoulder into the woman beside him while dodging the punch.
Li Ling's shoulder hit the soft place, with a hint of guilt, and Li Ling's eyes saw Nu Rao's body flying backwards.
The ensuing screams almost tore apart Zhong Rao's eardrums, and Li Ling saw the strong man on the right carelessly covering his ears with his hands.
With a hint of snickering, Li Ling quickly moved his steps, and then slammed his fist into his unsuspecting face.
The strong man's eyes suddenly widened at the boss, and he even forgot Lin Kang in fear. It's just the boss who opens his mouth.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang on the ground. There was also a not-so-loud click. The strong man clutched his chin and fell on Lin.
Maybe it was a broken jaw, but the strong man didn't make a sound, just curled up to meet the trampling of the crowd that followed.
"You...... What do you want? The thick-lipped man pointed at Li Ling and said. If you dare to come, you will be beaten to death by the angry crowd! ”
"You're scared, aren't you? I'm glad you're scared. Li Ling took two steps forward again. I want to try it, and if a few guys die who deliberately provoke trouble, the others will not retreat! ”
"Don't you think about it!" The man knew that everyone behind him was looking at him, and His Royal Highness Ina was also looking at him from a distance, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he rubbed his hands together and grabbed Li Ling at the same time.
Li Ling saw that the other party's palms were soft and didn't have much strength, and he felt strange in his heart, but he still subconsciously reached out to block it, ready to knock him to the ground with a punch.
A low laugh suddenly sounded, and Li Ling looked up to see a smug smile flashing across the man's face.
Li Ling secretly screamed that it was not good, but when he was about to dodge away, he only felt a cold chill rushing along the skin of his body, and in an instant, his whole body became numb and stiff.
"Hahaha, I thought you had a lot of ability, but it turned out that you were just a guy who was strong outside! His Highness Bren's beauty is unparalleled in the world, how can a waste like you deserve it! Looks like I have to keep you awake! The man slowly rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, and then slapped Li Ling in the face.
"Smack!" Just when the man's slap was about to fall on Li Ling's face, Li Ling suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the opponent's wrist, and pulled it violently in the direction behind him.
The man's body involuntarily rushed towards Li Ling's back.
Li Ling quickly turned around and pounced, punching the opponent in the back.
Before the man's figure hit the ground, he spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "poof".
"You must kill him in the most cruel and swift way, or when the anger of the crowd is ignited, you must kill more people to quell this riot!" Without losing any time, Clara's voice said in Li Ling's ears.
Knowing that Clara's was the truth, Li Ling nodded and walked over to the man lying on the ground.
As soon as the man turned around, he saw Li Ling walking towards him murderously.
"What do you want to do?" The man said in horror. "If you dare to hurt me, these people behind you will not let you go, and Her Highness Ina will not let you go!"
"It's so bad, your frightened look is just too bad, if I were His Royal Highness Ina, seeing you like this, I'm afraid that I would be very disappointed in you, and even take your life with my own hands!"
"No, no, I'm loyal to Her Highness Ina, and I can't understand it for someone like you!"
"If you are really loyal to Her Highness Ina, then ......" Li Ling's palms clenched and said loudly: "Just die for her!" ”
After that, Li Ling strode over and smashed down on the opponent's head with all his might.
There was a sudden silence around him, making Li Ling feel that only he and the enemy in front of him were left in the entire field.
In an instant, countless emotions poured into his mind again. In front of me is a living person, a life that I once swore to defend with my life. But now, he didn't even know the name of Rao, and now he wanted to kill him. He suddenly remembered Qin Yu, remembered that kind and strong girl, I don't know what she would do if she was in the same situation as himself?
"Just yesterday, I have already killed a lot of the guards brought by Her Highness Ina, do you care about one or two more?" A thought flashed through his mind.
But immediately after, Li Ling shook his head again and again, and the fist that had already fallen stopped abruptly. "No, I can't make excuses for myself, yesterday I just passed through the guidance of Her Highness Clara, and my whole mind was imaged, but now, my consciousness is completely awake."
Li Ling thought of his father and the kind-hearted Qin Yu, one of the two of them chose to sacrifice himself for more lives, and the other did not hesitate to turn his face with everyone in order to save the cub of an innocent giant beast. And what about yourself? What should I do? Li Ling clutched his head in pain.
"Huh!" Just when Li Ling suddenly stopped attacking and began to struggle in pain, the man who was pressed to the ground by him suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger from his arms and plunged it into Li Ling's stomach.
There was no time to stop it, and the dagger stabbed into Li Ling's abdomen.
Li Ling reached out and grabbed the other party's wrist, holding it tightly, no matter how the other party struggled, the hand holding the dagger did not move as if it was being clamped by iron tongs.
"Li Ling! Li Ling! Bren shouted loudly, and finally came in from the crowd, and saw Li Ling and the men under him, as well as the dagger tightly clutched in their hands. A wisp of crimson blood was gurgling out of the dagger's blood trough. "Li Ling, are you injured?!" Brun felt that he had a nonsense, and hurriedly walked up to help Li Ling.
It's a pity that Li Ling kept frowning, neither looking at the man who attacked him sneak up, nor at Bren, who was calling his name in his heart. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Bren's arrival made the surrounding crowd a little overwhelmed, wanting to continue besieging Li Ling, but also afraid of His Highness Bren, wanting to retreat like this, and couldn't wipe off his face for a while. I had to stand there stupidly.
"Is this guy Bren sincere in order to oppose me, or is this man rare? Otherwise, you will die with him! Ina watched from a distance and cursed in a low voice.
What everyone didn't notice was that the blank look in Li Ling's eyes began to fade quietly, replaced by firmness and brightness, and he kept muttering: "For the sake of sparing more lives, for the sake of so many companions behind him, even if it is the kind Qin Yu, I'm afraid he will make the right choice, right?" ”
After muttering a few words, Li Ling grabbed the big hand of the man under him and began to twist slowly.
