Chapter 156: Beidou repents
What the caster said was not a lie, because as he had said, the life-and-death struggle between Hiko and the Assassin had reached the point of separation.
Many people, whether it was the stunned Billy or the murderous Field, believed that it was impossible for Hiko to turn the situation around at this time.
The blow that the assassin revealed from the shadows was definitely a fatal blow, and in the face of such a superb and terrifying assassination, no matter how powerful Hiko was before, there was no hope of survival.
Just like the powerful men who died at the hands of the Assassins in the past, in the face of assassination, the strong sometimes did not work.
Because for an Assassin, strength is never the decisive factor that limits their ability to use themselves. What can really limit their abilities is always that kind of cruel and terrible calculation.
It's like the killing game set up by this assassin right now, although it is only the most ordinary kind of serial killing. But under his shadow assassination ability, it was enough to threaten the life of Hiko, who was far more powerful than him. And like some of the more terrifying assassins, their methods are even more strange than people can imagine.
Field knew the legend of a legendary assassin wanted by many powers.
It was an assassin known as the Faceless One. It is said to be the most faithful believer in the forces of chaos. Possessed by the grace of Twisted Shadows, he is able to peer into people's hearts while changing the appearance of anyone and revealing anyone's voice. This made him an incomparably terrible killer, a near-hopeless Grim Reaper.
Because no matter how powerful you are, there will always be someone in your heart who will never want to hurt, or even doubt. And when such a terrible assassin appears in front of you in such a form, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you, no matter how powerful you are, to muster up the courage to draw your sword against him.
But the problem is, you don't dare to do that. But the Assassins will show no mercy to your men. He will come to you in the most beautiful image of the person you think you can't give up, and with your most nostalgic look, he will pierce the most vicious blade through your chest, let your heart be pierced by the blade, let your blood be corrupted by venom, and let your soul be devoured by despair.
This strange ability has caused many powerful knights and clever spellcasters to die in his blade. It is said that even one of the bishops of the Church of Radiance died on the pulpit as a result of the assassin's assassination.
With so many criminal records, who can have much hope that Hiko will survive?
Even if he was just facing an ordinary chaotic assassin, no one would think so. They all felt that Hiko was dead, except for Hiko.
As the target of the assassination, Hiko had to admit that the timing of the assassin and his ability to hide in the shadows were indeed very subtle. Even though he had already been in good spirits, he still didn't expect him to attack in such a situation.
As those people thought, it was impossible for him to escape this assassination at this time. In that case, then simply don't hide.
Feel the cold blade cut through your fur, tear through your skin, and sink deep into your muscles. Hiko immediately tightened the muscles in his lower back.
The swollen muscles caught the assassin's icy blade in the first moment, causing his blade to stop at a distance of inches from his kidneys. Before the Assassin could react further, he threw his fist and slammed it into his head.
Theoretically, he should make his first priority to protect himself. Even if you can't avoid the Assassin's attacks, you should try to prevent him from causing too much damage to yourself. However, this is only a theoretical statement, and Yu Yan does not think it is a wise choice.
A fatal attack, no matter how much you retreat, will definitely be a serious injury. And the other party is still an assassin with strange abilities, and no one can guarantee that after he retreats, he will not pursue him. Although he has plenty of trust, he thinks he can fight him off even if he is injured. But Hiko didn't dare to be confident that he could make sure that Billy's mother and son were safe in that situation.
So instead of being constrained everywhere, step by step passive. Then it's better to take advantage of the fact that there will be no future troubles now. And this punch is thrown out for the purpose of never suffering in the future.
Beidou God Fist, Hundred Cracks. has already entered the door, and Yan's cultivation in boxing is no longer comparable to the original. At the beginning, he had to rely on a bloody battle to find out the secret hole of the other party under the fury. But today, he already knows the fate of ordinary people at a glance, and there is no hindrance in the slightest.
He knew that Assassins were hard to kill, and that they had always had many ways to save their lives. But he didn't believe that under this killing fist that dominated life and death, their ghostly methods could play any special role.
The punch was lightning fast, but there was no sound. Almost in the blink of an eye, Dou Da's fist had already appeared in front of this assassin.
Judging from the Assassin's position, he was certain that the blow would fall on the side of his forehead. And as a superb assassin, he could clearly see the added power of Hiko's punch.
It's a rush punch, and there isn't much power to continue on it. And with the defensive power of the leather helmet he wore on his head, coupled with his own ability to resist blows, he was almost eighty percent sure that this punch would not hurt him too deeply at all.
At most, it was just an intracranial bruise, and with the current alchemists' research on potions, it would take a little effort at most to cure.
In contrast, his blow was an even more lethal attack. The short blade had penetrated deep into the opponent's muscles, and in this area without bone protection, it only took a little deeper to puncture the internal organs, causing him to die directly from the serious injury caused by the bleeding of the internal organs.
At this point, it is not known how many living people have been dissected, and how many assassins have been assassinated. So he immediately made the decision to ignore Hiko's punch attack and concentrate on the blade in his hand.
Killing is a job with trade-offs. Especially in this situation where either you die or I die, it is natural to make the most accurate judgment. From a normal point of view, the Assassin's judgment was not considered wrong. He even said that he calculated everything very precisely.
Yan's punch is indeed not very powerful, if you want to compare, it is estimated to be similar to being bitten by an old goose. It was inevitably a bit of a pain in the flesh, but it was far from the worst that the Assassins had predicted.
A little pain, of course he can endure the hardships. In contrast, the pain of being pierced through the internal organs by a sharp blade may not be something that the other party can bear. Feeling the slight injury caused by Hiko's punch, the assassin's heart was already excited.
It's hard not to be a murderous assassin without being twisted. Just like him, his favorite thing is to watch people who are stronger than himself die under his own assassination. It gives him a special sense of accomplishment, as if he were able to dominate life. This is the case right now, when he felt that he could ignore this kind of injury of Hiko, and he could pass the blade into the other party's body with peace of mind, his whole heart was already inevitably excited.
Of course, excitement didn't affect his movements. As an Assassin, no amount of inner emotions could affect his apparent stability. Whether he holds a bow or a knife, his hands will always be as steady as a stone carving. That's what he thinks, and he's always done. But today, I don't know why, he found that there were some exceptions in his body.
His fingers began to tremble unexpectedly, and his heartbeat began to speed up unexpectedly. He thought this was the reason for his overexcitement, but soon found out that it wasn't the case. Because he sensed something else.
There was a feeling of fullness in the inside of the eyes, and the smell of blood began to appear in the nasal passages. After taking drugs for many years, the brain, which was supposed to stay awake forever, began to feel dizzy. Lin Lin's subtle changes caused his nervous system to be disordered, so that the blades that should have been progressing became stagnant.
Obviously, as long as he works harder, he can complete his assassination, but at this time, he found that he couldn't do this no matter what.
He couldn't control himself, and he could already feel that death was coming at him.
"How so!"
Almost gritting his teeth, the assassin's entire face was already distorted into a hideous mass, and with a burst of facial changes that could not have happened to normal people, with a muffled sound, his entire head was already like a broken watermelon, directly exploded into a blur of flesh and blood.
Such a result is really something that no one expected. The bloody scene and the brutal death made Billy, a bystander from beginning to end, suffer the most thorough psychological impact. The pampered man never thought that a person would die in such a miserable way. So immediately, he couldn't help but retch.
But Billy wasn't too weak to even accept this, he just retched twice, forced himself to shut up, and then wiped his mouth while looking at Hiko.
As a bystander, he could see clearly that Hiko didn't do anything special at all. He just threw a punch, then changed his gesture as he approached the assassin's head, struck him lightly with his thumb to the side of the head. It doesn't hurt much at all, and even a child has a more powerful trick than this when he fights. However, it was such a blow that achieved such a frightening result, which was really beyond the scope of his acceptance.
What kind of power is this? He asked in his heart, and he longed in his heart.
The teenager witnessed power at this time, and it was also at this time that he planted the seeds of pursuing power in his heart. Seeds take root and sprout, and sooner or later they will become different. And if it was him, he hoped that this seed of his could become the person in front of him.
The appearance of a strong man who can protect others!
