One Hundred Wind was the most famous assassin in the history of Herutia, and her final assassination took her back from the stage of history in a spectacular way. But Baifeng was by no means the first assassin, and before her, the assassination of nobles with different political views and the assassination of local battlefields had long been the usual methods of those in power.

And the only one who can really afford the originator of assassins is the crow. At the same time, it is also a long-forgotten title.

If it weren't for Shadow's personal friendship with Hundred Winds, he probably wouldn't have been able to learn about this Assassin organization that existed in the early days of Holutia. The Crows are only a flash in the history of Helutia, and they have not even left much ink in the biographies of later generations, but they are the purest assassins in the Hundred Winds.

Baifeng rarely commented on "peers" in this way, and she even said that she was only an amateur assassin compared to the crow.

That's understandable.

Baifeng was originally only a swordsman, and her swordsmanship was unique in the world, but it was only later in the political aspect, the battle situation and other considerations that the Henry family implored her to form an assassination force behind enemy lines. Between the disappearance of the Crow and the budding of the Assassin Guild under Hundred Wind, the Assassin profession was in the void.

Even so, Baifeng's excellent assassination ability is only comparable to the effect of a black crow for those in power, which is enough to show the power of the black crow from the side.

Baifeng is strong in her sword skills, but the black crow, is a real killer, they are proficient in all assassination techniques, and what is even more terrifying is that according to legend, the assassins of the black crow are best at silent assassination, and their target will never be aware of the arrival of the black crow before being killed.

And there is only one reason why these assassins have withdrawn from the stage of history.

The Crows' assassins are all from the Theopharan clan, and the art of assassination is their original skill, and it is with this ability that they shine in the First Demon Tide War, and they are on a par with the Henry clan in terms of military exploits. At least during the reign of the first king, Az-Tris, they were on a par with the Henrys, and were an indispensable backbone of the Alliance.

The period when Henry's family was adept at deploying troops and dominating the frontal battlefield in war, while Theopharan was active in the shadows, was the most prosperous era of Herutiah.

"Boy, how do you feel?" asked Shadow in a deep voice.

The four of them walked through the corridors of the palace, so quiet that they could only hear their own footsteps, the sound of fighting disappeared at some point, and there were only corpses in sight, and few assassins were seen by the kingdom's army and servants. At worst, they had already eliminated all the guards, ordinary assassins were not his and Lin Qiu's opponents, but it was more than enough to assassinate these guards who had not seen much of the world.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ying always feels a little uneasy in his heart.

The appearance of the black crow couldn't help but remind him of the late Baifeng, and her evaluation of these progenitor-level assassins was still vivid, and her understanding and recognition of Baifeng invisibly turned into pressure.

"Nothing. Lin Qiu looked around and confirmed.

In this situation, a dead silence is the most abnormal.

He could still hear the chaotic sound from time to time before going out, but at this moment, he couldn't even hear the wind and insects clearly. Shen Hai's answer made him even more dignified - during the short fight, she couldn't detect the other party's breath, Lin Qiu's ability to block that knife in time was completely out of the almost perverted perception of the heart eye, and this perception could only allow him to react in advance when attacked.

It is impossible to detect the other party's position in advance.

Your previous enemy seems to me more like a living corpse.

The deep sea explains it this way.

"Really?" Shadow raised an eyebrow, he wanted to relax, but cold sweat involuntarily seeped out. It had been a long time since he had encountered an enemy of this level, and his situation at the moment was obviously different from Lin Qiu: "From the moment I stepped out of the gate, I felt like I was being targeted. ”

The sense of oppression is everywhere.

On the eaves, in the bushes, around the corners, the other party seems to be everywhere. He barely resisted the restlessness of drawing his sword and slashing it.

On the contrary, Lin Qiu comforted him: "I have already come up with a complete countermeasure. ”

"I'm discussing your countermeasures......

Now the team composition of the four people is Lin Qiu walking at the front, and Richard, who has little combat power, and the maid walking side by side in the center, with their backs to them, walking at the end of the team. Lin Qiu called this formation the '360° No Dead Angle Defense Formation', and in this case, Ying didn't bother to care about this weird name.

However, this formation has some truth in his opinion.

When the Black Crow's assassins attacked from the front, Lin Qiu was able to respond as soon as possible, and vice versa, leaving the dead spots behind him to deal with, except for walking backwards and looking stupid, their defensive surface basically covered all directions.

Even so, the tension never subsided.

"You're too nervous. Lin Qiu pretended to be relaxed and said, in the state of his heart, every step he took, everything around him could not escape his scrutiny, and at the same time, he was constantly simulating the move to deal with in his heart-"My sword is faster than him, no matter where he comes from, he can't escape the same ending as just now." ”

Especially in accident-prone areas such as eaves, bushes, and corners, he is even more cautious.

He and Shadow were rarely in tune with each other, and when they faced enemies that seemed to be everywhere and could appear at any moment, their perceptions covered the same place.

"Unless he can ......"

Shadow's reluctant smile came to an abrupt end.

One of his jokes seemed to answer the source of this uneasiness, and the source of that pervasive sense of oppression.

The only place that Lin Qiu's so-called '360° No Dead Angle Defense Formation' could not cover was underground.

Almost at the same time, he felt the shaking of the soil beneath his feet, and as Richard walked by, a crack opened in the stone slab beneath his feet, and a human hand suddenly stretched out of the crack, and the short knife in his hand slashed at Richard's hamstring. Shadow reacted at the same time, the broadblade greatsword slashing into the ground.

The knife was blocked by the blade, and bright red blood gushed down the ground he had chopped, and the hand hung limply to one side.

However, when Shadow was relieved, the arm that was originally hanging to the ground suddenly turned strangely, and the whole arm completed the 180° propaganda in the blink of an eye, and the tip of the knife went straight to Ei's toes. Shadow's eyes froze, and he hurriedly took a step back, but when the tip of the knife slashed through the air, he heard a low, strange voice.

"One. ”

Shadow's right foot ached, and his body, which had lost its center of gravity, fell to the side weakly, and he turned the giant sword in his hand to hold on to his body that was about to fall.

The other party did not fight, and broke the tendon of his right foot, and the arm deep in the crack behind him immediately retracted, leaving only some blood.

After a few moments, all was silent again.

The sense of crisis has become even stronger.
