Chapter 41: Surprise Attack and Assassination
Seeing this, Fang Yan gasped, the throwing speed of this shuriken is amazing, obviously specially trained, and can only catch a few afterimages with the naked eye, and at some moments it is even more terrifying than a firearm, if it weren't for Yamanaka Shikanosuke's shot, I'm afraid they would have been hit hard, and if the darts were still poisoned, there would be no surprise that half of them died.
On the other side, I saw that on the empty top tree, several men wearing pitch-black bundles suddenly appeared, holding short ninja knives in their hands, and the eyes revealed under the hood were extremely cold, and the few crosses mixed with murderous aura were obviously from their hands.
It's a ninja!
No one present spoke, but the action was very tacit, and the weakest dialect did not hesitate to open his hole card skill Wind Step lv2 and escape in the air.
The same is true of the Wasuka Goemon who silently recites the nine-character mantra, but it is slightly slower than the dialect and also escapes into the air.
However, no one expected that less than 0.5 seconds before the dialect disappeared, a short and flexible ninja knife appeared in the position he had just now, from top to bottom, and came to slash fiercely, slashing the remaining figure of the dialect and the crotch of the horse horizontally, splashing a large amount of blood.
"Hissββ!"
"Tongue Lord!"
The screams of horses and men rang out at the same time.
The light of hope that had just bloomed fell, Yamanaka Kanosuke's eyes turned red for a moment, and a roar erupted from his fragile throat, and the face under the helmet of the three sun and moon deer was more urgent than anyone else, and the delicate and rigid voice was very conspicuous in this battlefield.
The incident happened suddenly, and even Himiko was stunned before he could react, and then hurriedly shouted: "Lord Fang Yan is not dead, don't panic, kill them first." β
Others may not be able to see it, but Himiko, who is a dialect character card, can see it clearly, and the figure that shuttles through the air like a ghost is not a dialect.
Yamanaka Shikanosuke was stunned, and found that there was no body under the half-dead horse, and before he turned around, a awe-inspiring momentum had erupted from the whole person, and he shouted angrily: "How cowardly it is to sneak in and kill, you and the head of the family!" β
As soon as the words fell, the girl, mixed with this resolute momentum, suddenly jumped towards the tree.
That's right, it's jumping up a tree, it's not a metaphor, it's something that actually happens.
With only a few bulges and her own strong legs, Yamanaka Shikanosuke burst like a spring up the tree for several meters, slashing the nearest ninja with a single sword, so fast and brave that even ninjas known for their speed are three points timid.
The dialect hidden in the darkness was also dumbfounded, and the most appropriate description in his mind suddenly appeared in his heart, the deer of Izumo, the unicorn of San'in.
It was only when Kanosuke Yamanaka killed one ninja and rushed to the next ninja that everyone came to their senses. The ninja who was targeted seemed to be the captain of this team of ninjas, a mid-level ninja, and in addition to being the commander of the front-line operations, his strength was quite extraordinary.
The ninja sword swung at high speed, and the katana sparked in the air, and the piercing explosion resounded in the air.
But after a few rounds of fighting against Yamanaka Shikanosuke, the ninja captain was immediately defeated, and was slashed in the shoulder by Yamanaka Shikanosuke, along with his entire arm.
How can a ninja who only knows the art of attack and killing be a frontal opponent of the veteran who survived the battlefield, the ninja captain who lost an arm screamed and endured severe pain to fight again, but this time the confrontation didn't even end for a round, and he was easily killed by Yamanaka Kanosuke.
But what the ninja captain did was not useless, because of the death order and did not have any idea of escaping, they only knew that they had to complete the task, the obsession was deep, as if it was a pain to the bone, in this precious time gap, one of the four ninja team ninja legs bent, kicked on the branch, and without hesitation attacked the only exposed Himiko.
The speed was so fast that only a shadow could be seen in the squeeze.
Taking out the golden weapon 'Wood of the Wind Primal Crossbow', Himiko smelled the breath of danger, turned around and saw a black shadow coming towards her, at this time she not only did not feel the slightest fear, but also showed a very evil smile, if she said that she thought that she could not compare to others, but when it came to fighting, she was also one of the few people who survived in that isolated island.
Himiko reacted quickly, first unhurriedly putting a 'holy light shelter' on his body, slightly improving his physical performance, and then retreating, while holding a seemingly bulky two-handed crossbow and shooting an arrow at the opponent's attacking figure. The crossbow arrow rushed and penetrated the flesh and blood, but the momentum of the opponent's shot was still unabated, and the figure that fell straight down was like a meteorite, seeing that the other party came to him, he frowned, and did not hesitate to turn on the weapon carrying skill 'Deadly Wind Lv1'.
With a click, the ancient green crossbow suddenly deformed, splitting into five large notches in front of it, and the arrow notches shimmered bright green.
Himiko and the dialect only now understand that the five arrows in one second in this weapon do not refer to the rate of fire, but the number of shots, and firing five arrows in a second in a row and firing five arrows at the same time seem to be the same, but in fact there is a considerable difference.
The former cannot guarantee a hit and has the strongest penetration, while the latter has a high hit rate and a fast burst.
This is the first time that this weapon's own skill Himiko has been activated, but that doesn't mean it will affect Himiko's decision.
The moment the trigger was pulled, the arrows that should have been silent revealed for the first time, and the five transparent arrows were scattered in the air with a shockwave visible to the naked eye because of their powerful force.
The ninja who had already come directly above Himiko was directly overturned by this powerful impact, and blood holes appeared in many places such as chest, head, and eyes, and there was no blood spray even if he snorted, and he died so much that he couldn't die anymore.
On the other side, the two thieves who were hiding at the same time, after finding an opportunity, actually showed their bodies at the same time and intercepted a ninja who was hiding behind a tree trunk and also looking for an opportunity.
At the moment when the thorn in his hand pierced the throat of the other party, he also found the smaller body that suddenly appeared, as well as the pair of red young eyes, two pairs of surprised eyes collided in the air, and the other guy who had no skill cd nodded slightly and then disappeared into the air, leaving the dialect with a cooling limit on his skills.
"Lord Dialect, are you alright?" Yamanaka Kanosuke, who killed the captain of the middle ninja, jumped down from the tree and asked with concern.
"It's okay, do you know what's going on with these ninjas?" Fang Yan shook his head and asked.
"I guess the Ninjas sent by the Maori family to assassinate me, I'm sorry to put you in danger." Yamanaka Kanosuke replied awkwardly.
Sure enough, the Supreme Game System doesn't plan to let it get the help of a military general so easily? But if it weren't for Yamanaka Shikanosuke by his side, such a small ninja would have almost been wiped out.
Fang Yan frowned slightly, smiled bitterly, and comforted: "It's not dangerous, but your strength just now opened my eyes, and you are worthy of being the leader of the Ten Warriors." β
But the admiration of the dialect did not make Yamanaka Shikanosuke happy, but instead smiled bitterly with inferiority: "No, compared to those top generals, the kung fu of a three-legged cat like mine is really difficult to wait for the elegance." β
Do you compare yourself to the super pervert of the shirt and the like, who can be called a humanoid boss? Fang Yan couldn't help but be embarrassed, so he had to say, "It's Kanosuke, you're too yourself." β
At this time, the bee Suga Goemon who was hiding in the air appeared beside Fang Yan, and after the battle just now, she who had always been wary of Fang Yan finally changed her opinion of Fang Yan slightly, and said respectfully for the first time: "Lord Fang Yan, the investigation has been completed, and there are no fish that have slipped through the net nearby." β
"Yes, then let's keep going, if it's night, it's dark on all sides, and then you encounter these ninja assassinations, even a strong person like Kanosuke may not have time to react." Fang Yan nodded.
"But there are only two horses left." Wasuka Goemon frowned, his cute eyebrows slightly raised, and he stopped talking, and his expression clearly showed that he didn't want to ride with dialects, or men.
But now there are only two horses left, which means that there will be one person who will ride on the same horse with the dialect anyway.
