Chapter 88
Outside the Storm Tavern, there was a sea of people.
The people gathered around the Storm Tavern in a semicircle, staring nervously at the tavern's windows that shimmered with the glow of war rings and magic, and the sound of fierce fighting.
The windows of the Storm Tavern are not small, but the curtains fluttering in the wind always interfere with everyone's view. In addition, the candles in the tavern flickered and flickered, even the closest and best eyesighted people could only see faintly. The other people on the periphery could only guess the situation inside through the words that came from the front.
The location of the strong street is not far from the west and north of the city, so soon after the outbreak of the tavern battle, the news of the robbery of the prison in the west of the city, the attack of prisoners in the north of the city, and the murder and arson along the way reached here.
Standing on the Avenue of the Strong and looking north, half of the sky in Muni City has been reflected red by the firelight. The alarm bells rang one after another, and the sergeants whistled and rode away. The large and small military camps in the city are also full of military horns.
Everyone was praying that their own people in the tavern would be able to hold out for a little longer. At the same time, I also prayed that the strong men in the army would be able to come as soon as possible.
However, when a panting sergeant rushed into the crowd a minute ago, holding a hat that almost ran away, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom of the icy valley!
"That guy in the tavern is the Iron One of the Lanris family!"
"Iron One! Oh my God, it's him!"
"It's him, that's right! Blonde hair, tall man...... Holy Emperor......"
People are anxious. At this moment, the faces of Xia Li and Tang Xiaoben and the others had turned pale. Annie, Julie and other girls were even more shaky, and it seemed that they couldn't even stand on their feet.
The name brings a kind of despair from the heart.
In the Langris East Branch family. The Bear King, the Eagle King, and the Fire King are the three great sword saints, and their prestige is far and wide. However, these three sword saints have a high status, and they will not make a move. Their names. To people, it's just a powerful symbol of the Lanrith family.
What makes people fearful is their disciples!
These swordsmen are better at killing than the Dragonclaw Knights. Over the past two hundred years, generation after generation of gold, silver, bronze and iron swordsmen have created many tragedies.
If nothing else, it's just in Saint-Sorain. There have been at least eleven murders involving these fellows! And only a few days ago it had been heard that a count in the neighbouring province of Saxony had been in trouble because of a conflict with the Lanrith family and a drunken unscrupulous speech. Sixteen people were slaughtered.
It is said that the killer broke into his castle at night.
When the next morning, the frightened screams of a cook pierced the silence of dawn. It was only discovered that this count and his wife. The bodies of four children in pajamas, were hung high above the main tower of the castle. And underneath them were the corpses of several loyal knights and gray-haired old men of the family.
Dripping blood, running down their gouged-out eye sockets, tongue-plucked mouths and pierced deaf ears, each one of them had been tortured beyond recognition.
This is exactly the standard method of the three Sword Saints of the Lanris East Branch.
This tragedy. Quickly spread throughout the empire. At that time, people were still gritting their teeth and discussing it, while guessing that this was the poisonous hand of the swordsman under the command of the three major sword saints, but everyone didn't expect that the murderer they were talking about. In the city of Muni, in front of them!
Judging by the time and place, there is no doubt that this is the masterpiece of Iron One and others.
After killing the Earl, they come close to Lulian and slaughter the prison guards, kidnap prisoners, kill people and set fires along the way, and even kill Roy, who has disgraced the Lanrith family...... Arrogant and domineering, nothing more than this!
At this moment, looking at the swaying figures in the tavern and listening to the fierce battle, many women covered their mouths tightly with their hands.
No one believed that Roy would be able to escape Iron One's hands.
The power that the name represents is too powerful. No matter how good Roy is among his peers, he and Pierre, Uncle Worm, and others combined can't be that person's opponent!
From the time the blond young man walked into the tavern and shot to kill someone, it was only less than ten minutes. And Roy, they were able to hold out for so long, and it has exceeded everyone's expectations. Now, everyone can only hope that the fighting in the tavern will continue forever.
As long as you are fighting, there is at least a glimmer of hope!
Perhaps, when the knights in the army arrive, Roy will be able to escape from the other party's hands!
And at this time, the sound of fighting in the tavern suddenly stopped. Then, the terrifying blonde youth appeared at the door of the tavern. And through the window, everyone can still vaguely see Roy's standing figure.
Don't......... Everyone's hearts are in their throats. The eyes gradually lit up.
Roy is alive!
And the other party seems to be leaving!
................
...............
Arrin, standing in the shadows under the eaves of the tavern and the stone pillars.
On weekdays, he was the heir of a ruined aristocratic family, a gentleman who had some shares in the chamber of commerce that walked the East, was proficient in tea, and was mild-mannered. He has been living like this for twenty years.
And this time, his mission is to cooperate with Iron One to kill Roy.
Originally, he was the one who should have made the move. This kind of assassination has always been the best job of the Nanzhi family.
It's a pity that the arrogant and conceited Iron One wants to slaughter Roy with his own hands. As a result, Arrin becomes a backup assassin who hides to the side. Only when Iron One is unable to complete the task does he wait for an opportunity to make a move.
Yarlin was quietly hidden. Years of training in killer stealth made his whole person seem to merge with the night, and even the occasional flickering firelight always stopped at a distance of about five inches from his toes and swayed back.
Here he witnessed the entire battle.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became!
He didn't expect that with the strength of Tie No. 1, he would fall into such a predicament.
It seemed that from the moment he walked into the tavern and fought the black-haired boy for the first time, it was as if he was bound by an invisible rope, and he was completely unable to show his strength.
This shocked Arrlin.
He knows. It wasn't Iron One's dysfunction, it was the black-haired boy who entangled Iron One with his special understanding of combat and his seemingly inconspicuous, but extremely practical little means. So much so that Iron One even needed to forcibly stimulate his fighting spirit twice to get rid of the mistakes he made.
But. After all, the strength of Iron One is much higher. Yarlin wasn't worried about what danger he would have.
He just watched quietly, waiting for an opportunity.
And as Iron One turned to leave, a smile curled up on Arlin's lips.
Although Iron One is conceited, his decision is wise. He wasted too much time. Now, the whole city of Muni has been shaken. Every second you spend here is dangerous. If he continues to fight, then he can't kill Roy. Even the opportunity to make a move on your own may disappear.
As an Assassin, Arrin had plenty of patience. As long as he waited until Iron One left, Roy and the others relaxed their vigilance, and the moment he walked out of the Storm Tavern, he was sure that he would be nine out of ten.
With a single hit, he immediately pulled back.
Just give him a minute and he can disappear into the middle of nowhere. With his twenty years in business in the city of Muni. Even if Eugene searched the whole city. There was no trace of him either!
So now the Iron One is leaving. Exactly the best option. Because in three or five minutes at most, the knights of the army will arrive. In fact, Arrin could even hear the hurried sound of horses' hooves in the distance of the long street.
Arrin watched as Iron One walked to the door.
.....................
.....................
The Demon Moon on the horizon was like a huge pale red jade disk, occupying half of the sky. It seems that the next moment, it will fall.
The city of Muni under the Magic Moon. It was reddened by the fire in the north of the city.
At the door of the Storm Tavern, countless eyes were focused on the powerful figure at the door who was about to leave. There's fear, there's nervousness, there's anger, there's worry.
Everyone was holding their breath. The entire long street seems to be frozen in stagnant time. Everyone expects this guy to leave quickly. That's the only thought on their minds.
However, at this very moment, a brilliant magical light dazzled their eyes!
Level 7 magic, Fire Dragon Flame Tiger!
This powerful magic belonging to the Dragon Moon Magician, with a mysterious power unimaginable to ordinary people, emerged from a place that was only three meters away from the blonde youth. The two fire dragons and the three flame tigers pounced out of the void, roaring in the pupils that suddenly contracted of the people, and slammed into the powerful and fierce figure!
The figure that terrified them was slammed into a sturdy one. The whole person was like a kite with a broken string, smashing through the wall diagonally and flying out.
Then, they saw a thin figure chasing wind and lightning, flying out of the tavern, and stabbing Iron One's throat with a volley of swords!
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
Whether it was the people who were afraid of the name Iron One, the students who were worried about Roy's safety, or the Yarlin who had absolute confidence in the strength of Iron One, everyone's minds were blank.
They imagined 10,000 possibilities.
Roy was slightly injured, seriously injured, and died. The best outcome may be that Iron One failed to succeed, and Roy was safe.
This is already the most daring, almost extravagant fantasy. But they never dreamed that what appeared in front of them would be a thunderous pursuit!
Moreover, it was not the Iron One who chased Roy, it was Roy who chased the Iron One!
.....................
.....................
The wind whistled in my ears.
Roy's speed is extremely fast!
When Iron One was hit by the Fire Dragon Flame Tiger, he was still fifteen meters away from Iron One. However, when Iron One smashed through the wall and flew out into the street, he had already chased after each other!
The bow spirit's secret arrow step in the clouds turned Roy's entire person into a fast-shooting arrow, breaking through the air, surpassing the sound and even the speed of people's eyeballs.
No one knows that the arrows in the clouds, while magical, are not available unlimitedly. This kind of footwork requires a great deal of fighting energy, and the burden on the body's musculoskeletal body is also extremely heavy. Especially the moment when it flashes in the air, the resistance of the air is no different from hitting a solid wall.
With Roy's current strength, he could only use a maximum of three Arrow Steps in the Clouds. Moreover, that was when his fighting spirit was completely unconsumed.
And at the moment. After a hard battle, coupled with the release of this fire dragon and flame tiger with up to five thousand magic codes, there was not much source power left in his body.
Performing the arrow step in the clouds again, he is desperate!
Roy doesn't care, though!
"Kill!" In the blink of an eye, Roy had caught up with Iron One. A knife chain, a long sword, go straight to the opponent's fatal point!
was hit at close range by a seventh-level magic, Rao is iron number one reacted very quickly, and at the same time protected his body with a battle ring, and was also bombarded. The battle ring, which was already at the end of the crossbow, collapsed in an instant, and half of the armor on its upper body was destroyed by the violent magical energy, turning into a thin puff of silver sand, which dissipated with the wind.
And his left chest along with his shoulder. It was even more scorched black under the flames of terror. The heaviest injured left forearm was dripping with blood, and the white bones under the blurred flesh and blood were faintly visible.
Roy's timing was too good. After grabbing him and forcibly activating the battle ring, the moment when the source power in his body was blue and yellow. And at that time, he was about to retreat, but he didn't expect it. This damn brunette kid dared to take the initiative to attack himself!
If it is said. If the injuries on his body made Iron One shocked and furious, then at this moment, Roy's soul-chasing sword made him creepy! The sharp sword and the black knife chain that kept approaching in the field of vision were like the scythe of death. At this moment, Iron One could even hear the grim smile of the Grim Reaper!
His warring has collapsed. His body was devastated. He hadn't even been able to get rid of the furious magical energy, and even his body that had been blasted away hadn't hit the ground yet!
People are in the air, helpless, and have no battle ring. He was even weaker than an ordinary person. As long as Roy catches up, he will definitely die!
Iron One's eyes cracked.
In the horror, he was like a dying beast, forcibly activating the battle ring for the third time! A golden light came out of his body. Pillars of light shoot straight into the night sky. The light is so bright that you can't be forced to look at it!
With the appearance of this golden light, the iron number one in the sky was like a god descending. There was a sinister smile on his face that bordered on madness. The Hell Demon Dragon in his hand reappeared. Lightning stabs at Roy!
"Knight Sacrifice!"
"The jade is burning!!"
The exclamation, like a thunderclap, shattered the night sky above the long street.
Everyone's face showed an extremely shocked expression. Even Arlin didn't expect that Iron One would be forced to use this trick.
It was a knightly sacrifice. It is a knight's move in a desperate situation, through some kind of secret method, explosive overdraft of the potential of the source power nebula, and the enemy's death.
Casting this trick means that no matter whether or not this knight can save his life in the end, his source power nebula and meridians will be irreversibly damaged. The Dou Qi realm dropped a few levels overnight, and it was considered lucky. Those who are strict will even become a waste person who can never use their fighting spirit!
On the other hand, once the knight's sacrifice is cast, the strength of Iron One will instantly rise to a level far more terrifying than in his heyday. At this time, Roy rushed up, which was tantamount to suicide!
"Hurry back!"
"Retreat, Roy!"
As soon as they saw the golden light shining from Tie No. 1's body, everyone shouted anxiously. Whether it was Xia Qing and the others who staggered to the door, or Anne and Julie outside, everyone was screaming desperately!
However, Roy turned a deaf ear to the anxious shouts of the people, and his gaze was like a knife nailed to Iron One's body. That face that is always a little confused, what I have at the moment, it's just resolute!
In the horrified eyes of everyone, Roy landed with his left foot and kicked hard, and his body did not retreat but advanced!
It's even three points faster than before!
At this moment, everyone stopped breathing. In the whole long street, only the hearts that jumped to the throat were left, beating faster and faster.
At this moment, all the sounds were gone. The world is like a silent oil painting, vividly depicting everyone's expressions and every detail.
Anne, pale, grabbed Julie's arm. They and the girls around them were shouting something with their mouths open. At the door of the tavern, Xia Qing and Anse El were angry and ready to pounce. The people around them were either covering their mouths, waving their hands vigorously, worried, or frightened. or anger.
Yarlin in the shadows, her body trembled uncontrollably. And the iron number one who stabbed Roy with a shot, the grim smile on his face turned into incredible horror.
In the flash of stone, fire, and lightning, Roy had already collided head-on with Iron One.
There was a loud bang, shattering the solidified qiē. It's like lifting the seal. The exclamations of the people swept all around with the wind that broke out of the war group!
It was an absolutely asymmetrical collision.
It's like an egg hitting a stone. Even if the inside of this stone is already full of cracks, it will shatter in the next second. However, before it shattered, it was still a stone big enough to smash an egg!
No one knows why Roy made such a choice. Being able to escape a life from the hands of Iron One is already a miracle for any seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. Besides, he had forced Iron One to use a knight's sacrifice, for that alone. It would be enough for his name to spread throughout the Solan Empire!
However, he chose the most tragic and decisive way to face off against an enemy countless times stronger than him!
This collision shook the sky!
Whether it is strength or weapons, Iron One occupies an absolute advantage. An inch long and an inch strong. When he exploded the Douqi Nebula and burned all his potential, he stabbed the Hell Demon Dragon in his hand. Even space is distorted. A loud sonic boom. shattered the glass of the surrounding houses.
Thousands of crystal fragments, under the illumination of the magic moon, transformed into a dreamy light.
The gun stabbed Roy in the chest like lightning.
However, just when the tip of the gun had almost touched Roy's skin, it was discovered. Roy's thin body, in an eerie posture in the air, twisted violently, avoiding the vital point in his chest.
The Helldragon burrowed in an inch above Roy's heart. Blood splattered.
A big hole in flesh and blood. Appears on Roy's left shoulder. The tip of the spear penetrated the skin, muscles, and shattered bones. Shattered pieces of bone and flesh, in a jet, exploded from behind Roy.
Roy snorted!
This tragic scene made many people present turn their heads violently. Several girls covered their mouths stiffly, tears welling up in their eyes.
"Die!" Iron No. 1's face was like red blood, and he shouted violently!
It was the most powerful shot he had ever stabbed in his life. With the urging of the fighting spirit, the black spear flower bloomed silently. In the void, all the light is captured by this terrifying black hole. The furious heaven and earth energy poured into Roy's body along the tip of the spear, and it was about to explode and shatter Roy.
However, at this moment, Roy suddenly raised his left hand, which was almost useless.
The index finger of the left hand, the Ring of Elemental Life, burst out with a brilliant light!
A huge figure like a demon god appeared behind Roy. Looking down at Iron One below and the cavalry gun in his hand. This figure and Roy are one with each other. All the power of the Hell Demon Dragon's eruption was like a flood that opened the floodgates, pouring out thousands of miles and slamming into this majestic elemental body.
The clash of the two terrifying forces caused a slight cracking sound from the interface of the Elemental Life Ring. The huge body like a demon god quickly faded and disappeared. And the black hole on the tip of the Hell Demon Dragon's spear was also like a balloon that had been punctured with a small hole, and with the pouring of air, it suddenly exploded into pieces.
Roy snorted again!
This voice made everyone tremble from the heart. They couldn't imagine how this thin and delicate young man could endure such inhuman pain.
But everyone still underestimated Roy's fierceness.
In the next second, they were shocked to find that the black-haired young man who was pierced by the riding spear had already gritted his teeth fiercely, and took a sudden step, letting the bloody wound smear the long barrel of the spear with a shocking blood, sticking out of his back. And the people have already arrived in front of the Iron One.
The long sword, with an indomitable determination and the terrifying gaze of countless people, pierced the throat of Iron One, who was no longer able to react, without hindrance.
Fast as lightning and thunder!
The blade of the sword goes in front and goes out in the back. Like the Hell Dragon piercing Roy's shoulder, hot blood, shattered musculokeletal bones, like erupting volcanic lava, shot out from the back of Iron One's neck.
It was a strange bright red.
Iron One's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at the fierce young man in front of him and the long sword in his hand.
His body flew back with the inertia of the long sword. Puff puff...... Twelve flying knives that shot from the night sky were like the last talismans, piercing his limp body again and again from different angles. He trembled like chaff until he and Roy fell to the hard, cold ground.
Bang! The two rolled down to the side of the road, muddy water splashing!
At that moment, there was a dead silence all around.
When the endless darkness hit, the last thing Iron One saw was the fierce eyes on the face of the young man who was pinned to him.
It's like a little wolf in the wind and snow, protecting his companion and biting the neck of a powerful opponent. Even if it is covered in blood and scarred. There was a glint in that eye, and it was also a light that would never give in...... (To be continued......)
