Chapter 25: The Magician

The blood mist dissipated, and a black-clad Liva walked out slowly. Although the ground around him was covered in blood, there was not a trace of red in the extremely black uniform. Not only on his clothes, but also on Liva's body, there was no blood stuck to it. With the blood dance in the sky and his serious black clothes, he seemed to be a god of death who came out of it

"Isn't Niu still solved......" Seeing the guards who could still move, Liva frowned, and the three orcs followed General Estes to fight everywhere, and each combat mission was completed perfectly. But when he returned to the imperial capital, the first task he carried out was attrition. Not only that, but the assassination mission is not yet complete. Regardless of whether or not they succeed in assassinating the former minister Jolly, they will inevitably be regarded as a disadvantaged person by General Estes, who does not need to be his lieutenant

Thinking that he might be disgusted by his master, Liva couldn't help but have a trace of hatred for Qiu Chen, if it wasn't for his raid to kill Daedas and drag himself down, I'm afraid that now the three of them have solved all the mission objectives are reporting to Estes

But it was a glimmer of attention that allowed Liva to notice that something was wrong behind him. For some reason, he didn't perceive Qiuchen's corpse or anything else in the puddle of blood, there was nothing in it

In an instant, Liva felt cold behind him, and the instincts he had developed on the battlefield caused him to roll to the side violently, and the next moment, with a thud, a heavy sword slashed into the ground where he had stood

"Cut~ was actually detected" Seeing that his sneak attack did not work, Qiu Chen muttered dissatisfiedly, and waved his hand to pick up the bangs that were stuck together with blood and were about to block his eyes, "Not bad, no wonder it can be the last one to live" In his perception, the sneak attack guy has been solved by Nero, and now as long as he kills this white-haired uncle again, he can completely solve the problem

Not caring about Qiuchen's teasing, Liwa glanced at the marks cut by the heavy sword, and couldn't help but feel a throbbing in his heart. If he hadn't thought about it just now, he might have been a corpse like Daidas by now

Taking a deep breath, Liwa stood up, patted the snow sticking to his clothes, and looked at Qiuchen seriously, "Listen to what you mean, Niwu who went to sneak attack has also been killed"

After that, Liwa's eyes were firmly fixed on Qiu Chen, wanting to see any signs of panic on his face, but unfortunately, Qiu Chen's face had always been indifferent, and there was no look on his face when he found that the person he was protecting was attacked

In other words, Niwu's sneak attack did fail, or there was a good guard next to the carriage, Niwu might not be able to succeed, but in either case, it would be impossible to solve it easily

"Did the sneak attack succeed, I think you can go underground and ask your other two teammates" Qiuchen stepped on the ground and spat, "I don't like to do it casually, but you ...... Out of scope"

"It seems that I have indeed encountered a strong enemy today" Liwa took a deep breath, suddenly took out a syringe from his body, inserted it into his neck at once, and injected all the liquid in it into his body before Qiu Chen could react

After the injection, Liva's body immediately flushed with green tendons at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the muscles on his body were obviously more powerful, "Although I don't know how you dodged the move just now, you are likely to become a stumbling block for Lord Estes in the future, so today, I will get rid of you for Lord Estes!" ”

Throwing away the empty syringe, Liva pulled out a long sword from behind him, clenching his hands tightly, "Since you are fighting in a place that is not suitable for the emperor, you have to strengthen your body"

"Really..."Qiu Chen lowered his head and smiled, "You are really loyal to your master, I really want to visit when I have time, and see what kind of person General Estes is in your mouth"

"You don't have to worry about it," Liwa took an attacking stance, killing intent filling the air around him, "Today, you will die here!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liva lunged at him like a wild beast.

Qiuchen's footsteps moved slightly, his eyes fixed on Liva, and he raised his sword and pointed it at his throat. In the face of Liva's attack, Qiuchen did not dodge or dodge, and directly met it

Poof---

Two swords sounded into the flesh. Liva slammed to his side as he was about to be stabbed, the blade that could have pierced his throat only stabbed him in the chest, failing to kill him instantly, and his blade pierced into Autumn Dust's heart

"Sure enough, is your Imperial Tool a recovery Imperial Tool" Liwa gritted his teeth and looked into Qiuchen's eyes, "That's why you won't dodge or dodge when facing attacks, Daidas just died under your tricks"

"Whatever you want," Qiuchen snorted softly, and the blade slowly advanced into Liva's body. Soon, Liwa finally couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood and fell on Qiu Chen's body

Looking down at the blood stains on his body, Qiu Chen said disdainfully, "Do you want to use your so-called secret technique again, but it's a pity that those little blades can't kill me"

"The secret technique I developed with all my heart's work, how can you underestimate it!" Liwa roared, and the blood that fell on Qiu Chen's body suddenly began to expand, bubbles bubbled like a boiled liquid, and in an instant, Qiu Chen felt that the blood stuck to his body was not like a liquid, but like an explosive that was reacting violently

"Do you think I'll use the same move after I know that the Blood Knife Kill doesn't make sense to you?!" Liwa showed a successful expression of his plan, and looked at Qiuchen who was close at hand with a grin, "Die under your arrogance!" Look at the trick I sacrificed with my life! ”

After that, the blood stains stuck to Qiu Chen's body exploded like explosives as if they had reacted violently to the limit. In an instant, the firelight enveloped Autumn Dust and Liva

Ten seconds later, Liwa struggled to crawl out of the smoke and let out a long breath as he looked at the autumn dust still covered in firelight. His life was coming to an end with other substances mixed with his blood, but at the thought of helping his master get rid of a hidden enemy, Liva couldn't help but laugh "Inject explosives liquid into the blood... No one... No one can survive a surprise attack unsuspected... General Estes...... I ......"

Just by looking at the surface of the pit that was blown out on the ground, you can know how violent the explosion was, no one can boast that they can survive such a violent close-range explosion, maybe only some dangerous species with strong vitality can survive, but it is obvious that the teenager in front of him is not a dangerous species

Liva slowly tried to get up, and he remembered that his goal was not Qiuchen, but to assassinate the former minister Jolly. Although there is not much time, it must be that the strength of the guard has been damaged by solving Niou, and he still has a bottle of strengthening potion, so it is still no problem to deal with the rest of the people and then kill the ineffective Jolly

But the sudden sound behind him made Liva's body startle

"You've let her down, it's a pity"

Riva's pupils shrank, and she turned her head abruptly. I saw Qiuchen, who had been blown out of a few hollows on his body, walked out slowly. Although the injuries on his body are estimated to be the end of death on the spot on other people, looking at Qiu Chen's appearance, it is as easy as not being injured "Very good secret technique, it did catch me a little off guard, it's just ...... Pointless"

Qiuchen walked over to Liva, who had fallen to the ground, the wounds on his body were healing at a rapid pace, and it didn't take long for Liva's whole body to recover in front of Liva's eyes

Seeing that his most proud move did not work, Liwa unwillingly stretched out his hand, wanting to catch Qiuchen, "You...... Could it be...... Bio-type Imperial ......"

"Maybe, maybe not, who knows" Qiuchen shrugged and lifted the Ash Messenger "So, I'll send you to a reunion~ Don't worry, I'll pay a good visit to that General Estes"

Hearing Qiuchen say this, Liwa looked at Qiuchen with contempt, "You...... Go and challenge the master...... It's just self-destruction...... Master, will avenge us...... Kill your ......"

With that, Liva's arm fell limply to the ground

"Are you dead?" Qiuchen put away his weapon. Is that Estes that powerful... Maybe I'll have to go back and find out what she's all about

On the other side, in the mountains outside the imperial capital, two figures with heavy loads on their backs were running briskly on the winding mountain road

"Hey! Tazmi, why have you slowed down, is it possible that this distance will quench your blood?! Brand turned his head and asked Tazmi, who was gritting his teeth behind him and trying to keep up with his footsteps, "This is not enough to protect the people you value!" ”

"I'm fine, big brother!" Tazmi took a deep breath, shook the weight on his back and moved it to his shoulders, and ran two quick steps to keep up with Brand "Let's continue!" ”

"Oh! That's right! Brand gave a thumbs up, "Remember, blood and calmness are the secret to victory, this is what I got from my former boss, General Liva, originally I was a hairy boy with only one blood, and then the general made me understand this truth, and now, I also want to give this truth to you, Tazmi!" ”

"No problem, big brother! I'll definitely keep it in mind! Tazmi replied with a full momentum, "Ah, by the way, big brother, what kind of person is General Liva you said?"

"General...... He is a very good man," Brand lamented, "but he was arrested and imprisoned for not bribing the new minister, and then I was framed because of the jealousy of others, and it was then that I understood how corrupt the empire was, and that the powerful people were not as good as the rich and bribed people, how could this kind of empire last long."

“…… Big Brother"

"What's the matter, Tazmi" Brand lowered his head, and Tazmi's resolute face met his eyes

Tazmi clenched his fists, "Big brother! It's up to us to defeat the rotten empire and build a new one."

"Tazmi..."Hearing Tazmi say this, Brand took a deep breath, then stretched out his hand and snapped his forehead, "Even if you say that, you can't be lazy in today's training, there are still 10,000 meters, continue!" ”

"Oh oh ~ yes! Eldest brother! ”
