"I will. Hearing Arnold's words, Reece even stopped and turned around to answer.

At this moment, there were suddenly two screams outside, Arnold and Reese were stunned, and then they immediately realized that something had happened to the two people who were escorting Ackerman.

They immediately drove out, and soon they were to the carriage, but there were only two guards who had fallen to the ground, and Ackerman was nowhere to be seen.

"Oops!" Reece couldn't help but exclaim, but it was a pity that he regretted it a little late now, "was he actually followed......?

As he spoke, Reece glanced back at Arnold, his expression still serious, but the meaning in his eyes was by no means dull.

"There!" Arnold's sharp eyes immediately caught a figure flying between the rooftops.

Hearing Arnold's shout, Reese didn't care about his suspicions, and quickly looked in the direction Arnold pointed, just in time to see the figure disappearing over the roof.

"Chase!" Reese didn't think about it, and immediately chased after him after a roar, and he didn't even have time to pay attention to the two subordinates on the ground. He ran a few paces, then leaped to his feet, jumped onto the roof of the nearby low house, and flew between the roofs, quickly following up.

Arnold frowned, he vaguely felt that the figure just now was a little familiar, but because the sky was too dark, especially in the bronze area, even the lights were dim, Arnold basically couldn't see the specific appearance of the figure, so he couldn't remember who that person was for a while.

However, he didn't have time to think too much about it now, handing Ackerman over to Louis was one of the necessary conditions for their deal, and Arnold couldn't let Ackerman have an accident. So, after a little thought, Arnold also quickly followed, but he was not as capable of flying up the wall as Reese, so he could only chase them down the street in the direction they were running.

The Bronze District is the largest district in Fortagen, and with its tight rows of houses and cramped spaces, it's easy to get lost in the middle of the alley if you don't have a good sense of direction.

Arnold chased a block, and Reese, who was flying across the rooftops, was much faster than him, and he could go in a straight line, while Arnold couldn't, and he had to go around the layers of houses and follow the general direction.

After several blocks in a row, Arnold had almost completely lost all traces of Reese, and the man who had robbed Ackerman was long gone.

Arnold stopped, and now the uneasiness in his heart became stronger, he vaguely felt that it seemed that he had taken this matter for granted, after seeing the figure, he subconsciously regarded that person as the culprit who robbed Ackerman, but now, he gradually realized that this might be a trap.

He looked around warily, noticing the shadows in the corners.

"I didn't expect you to find out. Rodney slowly walked out of the corner, and the light of a dim street lamp in the middle of the street hit his face, shining a pair of vicissitudes of cold eyes, "You look a little different from before, it seems that what happened last time made you a blessing in disguise." ”

"Do I have to thank you for giving me this opportunity?" Arnold walked towards Rodney, wrapping his clothes tightly.

The streetlights are like their dividing line, and behind them is darkness.

"I was almost killed by your men, by the way, my name is Manan, the one who assassinated me. ”

"That's right, that mission was to clear his shame, and he proved his loyalty with his life in the end. ”

"Why?" Arnold asked casually.

"He found you when you came to Vortagen, yet he never recognized you, nor did he report to me that a special young man had come to Vortagen with a demon. So, he made this request to assassinate you, in order to prove to me his loyalty to the Black Sheep Society. ”

"It's a special way of thinking, and sometimes I really don't understand you guys. Arnold stopped and shook his head, "So, what about this time? Who did you send to spy and pick such a good time to rob Ackerman?"

"That's the question," Rodney raised his hand, and now that he was only ten paces or so away from Arnold, "you can go and ask him personally." ”

As soon as Rodney's words fell, he unexpectedly burst into Arnold's side, and unlike the time he fought Lily, this time Rodney chose to take the initiative.

Arnold certainly wasn't going to sit still, and now that he had the power granted to him by Bellier, he wasn't afraid to fight Rodney.

Through the last fight between Lily and Rodney, Arnold has a general understanding of Rodney's strength in Lily's retelling of him later. Obviously, Rodney has a lot of experience in the game, and he is more adept at using skill to break down opponents rather than relying on brute force. However, this does not mean that Rodney's strength is weak, in his attack and defense with Lily, Rodney did not fall below, and even faintly suppressed Lily, who was a demon in her body.

Therefore, in the face of Rodney's active attack, Arnold does not intend to defend simply and deal with an experienced opponent like Rodney, which is likely to play into his arms, and the rhythm will be completely controlled by the opponent.

When Rodney's punch almost hit Arnold in the face, Arnold did not hesitate to punch Rodney in the face with a backhand, and he gave up self-protection and dodging, and instead chose to hurt each other.

And when Rodney faced Arnold's fist, he subconsciously chose to dodge, slightly tilting his head, intending to avoid Arnold's punch, after all, the last time he saw Arnold was stabbed in the heart by Manan's dagger and survived, Rodney had to worry a little about whether Arnold had a special ability that he didn't know, especially in avoiding death.

Rodney easily dodged Arnold's punch with his sophisticated skills, but Arnold couldn't, and he was almost knocked out of his teeth by Rodney's solid punch.

Arnold, who suffered a loss, did not give up the counterattack, he quickly kicked out a kick to attack Rodney's lower plate, and Rodney quickly blocked the abdomen with his free hand, took Arnold's kick, and at the same time unloaded the force, and then used this force to distance himself from Arnold.

"Phew-" Arnold spat out, spitting the blood out of his mouth, and although he received Rodney's punch in the face, Arnold's fighting spirit seemed to be higher.

"It's really good, it's great to be able to fight people so unscrupulously, and to have a healthy body. Arnold moved his muscles for a moment, and his eyes became more fierce, "It's rare to have such an opportunity, but I'm going to let it go, what about you, Director Rodney?"

Rodney ignored Arnold's words, and after adjusting his position, he went on the offensive again.

Arnold was not Lily, he had little experience in how to fight, and he was immediately covered in the head by this fast punch, and his clumsy defense barely managed to prevent a few punches, and Rodney's fists almost all hit Arnold's head.

If it were an ordinary person, I would have been knocked out by this time.

However, although Arnold did not faint, he was not in much better condition, his face was beaten and his nose was swollen, and his hands could only be protected in vain in front of him.

"Is that all there is to it?" Rodney said coldly as he punched Arnold, "what a disappointment, are you just a guy who talks nicely, but doesn't actually have any skills?"

Arnold was so suppressed by Rodney that he didn't even have the strength to fight back, his movements trailed Rodney by at least two beats, and often as soon as he swung his fist out, Rodney's fist had already hit him in the face.

This annoyed Arnold, but there was nothing he could do, he couldn't beat Rodney, the old man was far more flexible than his years, and Arnold had no way to deal with him. Let people beat him like this, Arnold was also completely forced to be anxious, he simply ignored it, waved his fist indiscriminately, and recklessly hit the air in front of him, but temporarily forced Rodney back.

"It's ugly. Rodney continued to sarcastically mock Arnold, "Why, aren't you a nobleman, like a farmer who doesn't know how to swing your fists, are you a dog who can't bark?"

"Shut up!" Arnold gasped violently, but now he could only curl up like a defeated dog, unable to take the initiative to attack as before.

Arnold touched his hand to his heart, trying to balance his breathing.

Belel gave me three strengths.

Arnold thought silently in his heart.

First, this weak body was endowed with strength comparable to that of the Great Horned Demon, a level of strength that would be difficult for a human as strong as Titus to defeat with brute force alone.

Arnold glanced at Rodney in a moment of breath, an enemy that could not be defeated by brute force alone.

Second, I can use the same magic abilities that are common to demons, and I don't need to be limited by magic casting like mages, but I can only use some special spells or low-level combat magic.

Arnold clenched his fists, since Rodney was the leader of the Black Sheep Society, he should know more about demonic spells than himself, and it was unlikely that he would be easily fooled.

And the third ...... It's an ability that Rodney can't guess, and he's unlikely to prevent it, but surprise moves can only be used once, and I have to time them well.

Arnold began to retreat slowly, as if trying to hide himself in the shadows of the corner.

"Do you want to escape?" Rodney followed unhurriedly, neither rushing forward at once nor letting Arnold distance himself, as if he was playing with Arnold, not fearing that he would run away.

Arnold retreated into a corner, with only a wall behind him, not even a street lamp next to him.

"Are you going to melt into that filthy corner and accept your ugly death?"

Rodney stood in front of Arnold, only four or five steps away from him, and with a single step, he could come to Arnold in an instant, and then use his own killing move.

"Wait for death. Arnold raised his middle finger, his face bruised and the corners of his mouth still dripping blood, but his momentum was arrogant, "You're going to die soon, old thing." ”

When Arnold made his last note, Rodney jerked forward, and before Arnold could exhale the breath he had inhaled, Rodney's palm that stabbed him in the throat had already severed Arnold's erected middle finger against his Adam's apple.

Rodney's razor-sharp nails stared at the skin of Arnold's throat, even cutting open the epidermis. Blood slowly trickled down Arnold's neck, dripping down his collar.

But Rodney's hand couldn't move any further, even if he could cut Arnold's artery completely by plunging his nails one more inch further.

Just as Rodney began the attack that was so fast that Arnold couldn't even detect it with the naked eye, Arnold also responded, and in the corner where the street lamp couldn't shine, the shadow almost completely enveloped Arnold, and even Rodney couldn't see the difference between those blades hidden in the darkness and the real shadow.

As soon as he entered the shadow of the corner, he was firmly controlled by the substantial dark matter, and even if he stabbed the surface of the skin of Arnold's throat with the inertia of his movements, there was no way to further kill Arnold.

Now, although his body maintained the movement of the forward stab, the body could no longer move, and the shadows, or the darkness, were no longer untouchable, if there were nothing, they had a real substance, and they were incomparably strong and incomparably sharp. It was as if Rodney had crashed directly into the mixing cement, and then in an instant the cement solidified, and Rodney was in those shadows.

"Now......" Arnold cracked his mouth, a cruel smile in his eyes, "the tide has turned. ”
