Chapter 70: Chasing the Assassins in the Line of Fire III

The spirit masters scattered one after another, giving up a small clearing of space, but still holding the martial spirit in their hands. If you like the Internet, you can get on it. Ye Hengyuan and Lei Xi fell back to the ground at the same time. At the same time, they noticed that the three fingers of the Assassin's right hand, which was almost embedded in the ground, were still vibrating.

"Thunder ......"

As soon as Ye Hengyuan spoke, Lei Xi immediately raised his left hand and pointed at the assassin's head. Three tiny bolts of lightning shot out from her fingertips, towards the back of the Assassin's head.

The Assassin instantly tumbled from the ground, stirring up a barrage of rubble and dust. A layer of thunder and lightning fluctuations that exuded a dark aura spread out from his body and blasted towards all the spirit masters around him. He raised his right fist high and smashed it into the three bolts of lightning that Lei Xi shot. Everyone felt that the spiritual power fluctuations in his body had become more violent, and he was on the verge of boiling and exploding at any time.

Lei Xi's left wrist twisted, palm up, five fingers apart. The three bolts of lightning instantly transformed into a thin but sturdy lightning net, wrapping the assassin's body tightly. The Assassin couldn't move, and let out a muffled roar from his mouth.

"Xiaoyuan, kill him!"

Ye Hengyuan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and lifted Fang Tian's halberd and rushed forward. I saw a flash of blue light, and the halberd tip and crescent blade of the dragon-patterned Fang Tianhalberd pierced through the thunder grid and stabbed fiercely into the assassin's chest. A dark red stream of blood flowed down the tip of Fang Tian's halberd, staining the floor tiles under the assassin's feet red.

"Poof-boom!"

The Assassin's body burst open like an air bag. Dark purple and black lightning instantly covered the surface of his body and exploded on the surface of his body. All the spirit masters also released their protective spiritual power to resist the evil spiritual power scattered everywhere and prevent the shockwave from spreading outward.

The smoke and explosions cleared in an instant. The Assassin fell straight to the ground like a piece of burnt charcoal, never to move again.

"Whew-"

Ye Hengyuan took a deep breath and forcefully expelled the turbid breath that had entered his lungs. On top of that, an even more intense feeling of nausea spread from his chest to his whole body, making him feel like throwing up. No one saw his slightly distorted expression due to the mask. Although this is not the first time he has killed, this is the first time he has killed someone. He couldn't help but raise his left hand and rub his chest vigorously.

"Are you alright, Xiaoyuan?" Lei Xi raised his hand and gently touched his forehead.

"Uh-" Ye Hengyuan took a step back as if he had been electrocuted, and shook his head, "It's okay, it's okay......"

"It's okay," Lei Xi said lightly, "It's normal. The first time I killed someone, I threw up for a long time. Master told me that it would be good to get used to it. This assassin has been completely consumed by evil magic, and is basically irrational, and is very likely to blow himself up if he is not killed. ”

"Hmm. ”

Ye Hengyuan nodded vigorously, wiped his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and carefully looked at the corpse of the assassin who died under his halberd. It didn't look like a human body anymore, except for the scorched flesh all over the body, there were bulging blood vessels and hideous spiritual power lines. The blood that flowed from under him was no longer dark red, but pure, inky black, sizzling into the earth beneath the stone pavement.

"The Ice Spirit will have an order, please clean up the scene, and then transport the body to the Provincial Security Department. Let's go, go to the north gate. ”

Lei Xi turned his head, finished explaining the matter to the captain of the spirit master unit, and then took off into the air. Ye Hengyuan followed closely behind her. Two beams of light flashed in the air.

"Uh......h Wow......"

The little girl, who was about five or six years old, threw her hands and feet vigorously, and cried loudly. The tall black-clad assassin wrapped a hand around her neck, lifting her feet off the ground and hanging on his chest like a roast duck hanging from the stove. Five sharp black claws pressed tightly against her neck, nearly piercing her delicate skin. A layer of black spiritual power fluctuated in the form of armor around the assassin's back, looking like a turtle shell.

The Assassin kept his feet on the ground, walking down the alley to the north. His steps were very light, and he barely made a sound when he walked on the stone floor. More than a dozen spirit masters surrounded him, ready to strike at any time. The ordinary soldiers who had blocked the exit on the north side of the alley also retreated in an orderly manner, making way for them. Dozens of archers and musketeers formed positions on the beams on either side, aiming their muskets and arrows at the Assassins' heads. But no one dared to open fire immediately.

"Bastard! You goddamn bastard! Son of a bitch! Let go of my daughter!"

The little girl's father stood outside the human wall at the exit on the south side of the alley, waving his robe sleeves and cursing loudly at the Assassin. Two soldiers armed with heavy shields had to raise their shields in their hands to block him. A soldier gently pulled him away and reassured him not to be impulsive.

Leng Han stood on the roof of a bungalow with several spirit masters. He didn't release the martial spirit, but raised his hands in front of his chest and slowly accumulated strength. He closed his eyes and relied only on his psychic perception to determine the Assassin's location. His palms had turned ice blue, and the spiritual power fluctuations had melted into the air in the alley in a circle. The air around the Assassins slowly cooled, and many of the crumbling ice hangers on the beams of the house were frozen again.

Ye Hengyuan and Lei Xi stopped at the same time more than ten meters in front of the alley. At the same time, the two kept their breaths hidden from the Assassins.

"Sister, what should I do?" Ye Hengyuan asked in a low voice.

"It's hard to say," Lei Xi whispered, "as long as anyone makes a move at him, he will probably do it right away." With your strength and my current strength, we won't be able to kill or capture him without him noticing. I estimate that only spirit masters of the fifth order and above can do this. The Cold Freezing Technique has not yet reached this level. ”

"So what should I do? I can't ...... it right away."

"Huh?"

Lei Xi suddenly felt that something was wrong. She quickly looked up and glanced in the direction of the city gate. She sensed that several spirit masters who were hiding their aura and restraining their spiritual power fluctuations were quickly rushing here from the north gate. There is also a sense of resonance filled with the smell of destruction......

The Assassin's footsteps grew faster and larger, moving from one stone brick in one step to two in two. His blood-red eyes rolled from side to side, scanning the spirits and soldiers around him. Everyone in the audience could feel that his breathing was already twice as rapid as when he had just kidnapped the little girl and rushed into the alley, and the spiritual power fluctuations in his body were becoming more and more violent, and he could explode at any time. The temperature in the alley was still slowly decreasing, but the momentum of the Assassin was gradually rising. The only sound in the whole alley was the cry of the little girl, and nothing else could be heard.

Ye Hengyuan and Lei Xi approached the assassin little by little. They all put away their breath, not daring to show it at all, for fear of being detected by the Assassins. Only the two of them could sense that the spiritual power fluctuations released by the cold cold were not enough to freeze the assassin in an instant, because he was also covering his aura. All the other spirit masters must have been more or less aware of Cold Cold's plan, but none of them were aware of it.

The Assassin's pace slowed again. He was only a dozen steps away from the north exit of the alley. The soldiers on either side had already taken a dozen steps back, giving him a semi-circular area. Three streets further north from this alley, you will reach the north gate. Neither the archers nor the musketeers continued to follow him, but simply continued to aim at him.

The assassin's breathing grew heavier and heavier, almost catching up with the cry of the little girl in his arms. Bloodshot streaks appeared in his eye sockets, filling his eye sockets. He waved his free hand wildly, his five sharp claws slashing in the air, but he didn't attack.

Twelve steps, eleven steps, ten steps, nine steps...... Little by little, the Assassin moved towards the mouth of the alley. Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of a dozen archers and musketeers, and the hands holding their weapons trembled slightly.

Ye Hengyuan raised his hand, preparing to condense an air arrow. Lei Xi raised his hand, stood in front of him, and shook his head.

Eight steps, seven steps, six steps.

Five steps, four steps, three steps.

Two steps, one step......

"Poof!"

A string of ice hangs fell from the eaves and smashed on the stone brick floor, turning into snow-white powder.

"Bang!"

An explosion suddenly rang out, breaking the suffocating silence. The maroon smoke instantly spread around the Assassin's body, filling the entire alley.

A dark golden figure burst out from behind the human wall, swept through the alley, snatched the little girl into his own hands, and rushed to the roof on the other side opposite the assassin. All the archers and musketeers simultaneously fired at the Assassin's head, scattering the smoke and punching a row of holes in the wall behind the Assassin. The powerful explosion caused all the innocent passers-by within one or two streets to cover their ears or squat down.

"What?" Ye Hengyuan didn't react immediately.

"Is that him?" Lei Xi looked to the right in surprise.

All of the Spirit Masters had their eyes set on the center of the explosion - except for Cold Cold. He turned his head and looked at the dark golden figure that appeared out of thin air with Lei Xi.

The smoke cleared. The corpse of the Assassin collapsed next to the wall, his entire head shattered, and his brains and blood flowed to the ground, staining the base of the wall behind the body. All the clothes on his upper body were shattered and reduced to countless tiny pieces of rag. A dark red fox-shaped tattoo appears on his rib cage.

The little girl stopped crying and quietly looked at the man who had saved her. There were still two lines of tears on her cheeks, but there was no fear in her eyes, but there was curiosity, and even a little excitement. The man's military uniform and dark gold armor all emitted light, giving her a warm feeling. Especially the dragon pattern, even more so.

"Good. ”

Long Lin's voice was soft. He opened his big hand and gently stroked the little girl's forehead.

"It's all right. I killed that bad guy. I'll take you to Daddy, okay?"
