Chapter 490: Assassination
Patrolling is actually a very boring thing, you must be highly concentrated, keep paying attention to the changes in the surrounding environment, and find that the enemy hiding in the shadows can't even concentrate on cultivation.
However, Ren Xiaoyao used to be a mixed team, and knew the importance of vigilance work to a team, although he was very reluctant to do this kind of work, but Ren Xiaoyao still did patrol work very seriously.
In the second half of the night, the surroundings were pitch black, and the miasma in the dense forest also rose to a new level, and the patrol work at this time was extremely difficult. Ren Xiaoyao estimated that there should be no enemies at this time, so he no longer wandered around, but chose a fixed location, and after setting up a concealment array, he entered a state of semi-cultivation and semi-vigilance.
Zhang Chengwei, the captain of the wolf tooth squad, knew the general location of Ren Xiaoyao through guò transmission notes, and also knew that there was nothing unusual on Ren Xiaoyao's side.
After that, Ren Xiaoyao had been in this state of half-cultivation and half-alert until dawn.
"It looks like there will be nothing wrong all night!" Ren Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, withdrew the magic circle, and returned to the team after preparing to patrol the surroundings again.
Suddenly, Ren Xiaoyao's face changed greatly, his legs bent, and with the help of the strength of his thigh muscles, he suddenly ejected from the ground and shot into the sky. The entire ground, because of Ren Yao's vigorous kicking, stepped out of a semicircular pit with a diameter of two meters.
At the same time, from the four directions of the ground, four cold lights flashed, and four small scimitars, each as black as ink, drew a strange arc, collided with the place where Ren Xiaoyao was standing before, emitted a flash of fire, and then bounced back the same way and disappeared without a trace.
It is certain that if Ren Xiaoyao did not catapult into the sky in time, I am afraid that he would be stabbed by these four scimitars at the same time.
"There are actually enemies hidden around here, and there is more than one!" Ren Xiaoyao thought in his heart, his face changed drastically, and he took out the transmission note agreed with the wolf tooth team, and prepared to call the helper.
But at this moment, above Ren Xiaoyao's head, four black shadows flashed from four directions, each holding a black long knife, and at the same time slashed towards Ren Xiaoyao from all directions.
These black long knives are all the quality of medium-grade magic weapons, if they are cut down, they will definitely die. Moreover, the directions in which these four people stood echoed each other and became one, and even if Ren Xiaoyao dodged one or two of them, he would definitely be slashed by several others.
As a last resort, Ren Xiaoyao had to shoot towards the ground again.
"Nine Beast Soul Fire Slash, Green Sickle Slash!"
Ren Xiaoyao shouted angrily, pinched the trick with one hand, and slapped it to the ground with one palm. With Ren Xiaoyao's palm, hundreds of arc-shaped sword qi emanated from Ren Xiaoyao's palm, forming a hemispherical sword qi attack wave that blasted to the ground.
When Ren Xiaoyao fell to the ground, the ground had been cut down by Ren Xiaoyao's green sickle, turning into a sudden light, and even the dust on the ground was cut more than half a meter deep.
As soon as he landed on the ground, three pairs of black fire wings behind Ren Xiaoyao quickly flashed, and at the same time, there was a crisp sound, leaving only an afterimage of Ren Xiaoyao in place. At the same time, ten meters away, Ren Xiaoyao's afterimage appeared, and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Ren Xiaoyao, who was on the run, flashed left and right, and at the same time took out a transmission note again, ready to stimulate it.
However, at this moment, on Ren Xiaoyao's escape line, a raging black fire suddenly broke out on the ground, and as soon as Ren Xiaoyao's thighs touched it, his pants turned into fly ash, and at the same time, the surface of his legs was scorched black, and his entire legs suddenly seemed to be filled with lead, weighing a thousand gold.
This black flame is not only highly toxic, but also has a strong corrosive effect.
The ground was impassable, and Ren Xiaoyao's whole body mana surged, and he didn't care about activating the transmission note, and shot directly towards the sky.
However, at this time, in the sky, a green poisonous rain fell, enveloping the nearly 100-meter area around Ren Xiaoyao. These green poisonous rains fell on Ren Xiaoyao's body, making a gurgling sound, constantly corroding Ren Xiaoyao's clothes, revealing the phantom clothes inside. The transmission note that was directly exposed to the outside, when the green poisonous rain dripped on it, instantly became a waste product and became unusable.
Even the colorful clothes that Ren Xiaoyao was wearing were also rapidly lost in spirit under this green poisonous rain. The colorful jellyfish pattern on the phantom clothes, as if it imitates spirituality, is moved everywhere on the phantom clothes, avoiding the green poisonous rain.
At this time, Ren Xiaoyao was not clear that this was a long-planned assassination against himself.
"Evil God Thunder!"
Ren Xiaoyao roared, and suddenly thunder and lightning rolled all over his body, and the green poisonous rain that fell on his body instantly evaporated and turned into green green smoke on the first floor. The black flames under his feet, as if they had encountered a natural enemy, spontaneously avoided Ren Xiaoyao's body.
At the same time, in Ren Xiaoyao's body, the corrosive and paralyzing effects caused by the black flames and green poisonous rain before also disappeared in an instant. Ren Xiaoyao immediately operated the Eight Veins Flowing Spirit**, and the damage on his body quickly recovered.
"Lei Xiu! Ghost Cultivation ** and corrosive attacks are ineffective against it, use Xuanming Divine Fire Thunder. In the dark, the killer found out that Ren Xiaoyao turned out to be Lei Xiu, and he was shocked, and immediately changed his offensive strategy.
As soon as the words fell, dozens of fist-sized yin thunders shot out from all directions, all of which shot towards Ren Xiaoyao.
These Yin Thunders were naturally powerful, big enough to kill the monks of the late stage of the Jiedan. When dozens of such yin thunders exploded around Ren Xiaoyao at the same time, the loud noise in the air spread to dozens of miles away.
The wolf tooth team ten miles away naturally sensed it.
"Captain, this explosion seems to be coming from the direction where Ren Yao is patrolling, shall we go and take a look?" one of the Green Guards asked with some concern.
Zhang Chengwei also had a stern look on his face, revealing a hint of worry, and said, "It seems that something should have happened to Brother Ren." In this way, just in case of accidents, we will first recall the patrol teammates in the other three directions, and then go to the Ren brothers to have a look. ”
"Captain, with such a violent sound, there must be 100,000 people in a hurry at the Daoist Friends, if we wait for the other three Daoists to come back before going over, will it be too late. The bearded Green Guard said worriedly.
"We should believe in Brother Ren's strength and believe that he will turn evil into good fortune. What's more, we're not sure if this is an operation against our entire Wolf Tooth Squad, and as the captain, I must be responsible for the safety of the other three fellow Daoists. Okay, this matter is decided, you all prepare, and I will send a note to recall the other three Daoists, and as soon as they return, we will set off immediately. At the critical moment, Zhang Chengwei took out the majesty of the captain and said undoubtedly.
On the other side, the sound of a huge explosion spread in all directions, and the explosion effect formed by the Xuanming Divine Fire Thunder directly blasted the ground into a hundred-meter-wide crater, and the explosion smoke spread hundreds of meters away.
The assassin hiding in the shadows couldn't sense any trace of Ren Xiaoyao in his mind, thinking that Ren Xiaoyao had been blown up and destroyed, so he stood out with confidence.
In the air, four masked figures slowly appeared, each removing a translucent talisman from their chests and carefully storing it into their storage bags. On the ground, four masked figures prostrate on the ground slowly appeared, and each of them removed the translucent spirit runes on their chests and carefully put them into their storage bags. After a while, four masked figures emerged from the ground, looking at the eight people on the ground and in the air, smiling at each other with satisfaction.
These twelve people are the people who assassinated Ren Yao this time.
Even at this time, after these twelve people appeared in shape, they still formed a kind of encirclement towards the center of the explosion, and slowly approached the big crater that was blasted out by the Xuanming Divine Fire Thunder.
When they reached the edge of the pit, the twelve people stopped at the same time, and one of them said in a deep voice, "Four, go collect evidence that the target is dead, and the others are on alert." ”
At this moment, on the other side, a black shadow stood out from his teammates and flew towards the center of the explosion. The other eleven naturally made up for the lack of one person in the formation.
It's just that No. 4 searched in the pit for a long time, but he couldn't find any trace of Ren Xiaoyao, not even a fragment of rags.
"Captain, nothing was found. Four yelled.
"It shouldn't be, even if it is blown to ashes, there will be very few traces left, isn't the target dead?" The captain of the twelve-person team was full of doubts, and immediately became highly nervous when he thought that Ren Xiaoyao might not be dead.
"Be careful, everyone, the target may not be dead. Hey, why is it so cold!" the captain shouted to remind the other teammates, but suddenly felt a chill blow through his body.
At this time, the twelve masked people discovered that a thick layer of blue ice had formed on the entire ground, and wisps of cold air emerged from the ice and hit the ground and the air.
"It's not good, retreat!" the captain was in a hurry, and hurriedly gave the order to retreat.
However, as soon as the captain's voice ordered to retreat sounded, another more stern and colder voice sounded from the sky at the same time.
"Rainbow World, Descend!"
In the air, a colorful curtain with a length of several zhang and a width suddenly appeared, and as soon as it appeared, it quickly expanded to a distance of 100 meters, forming a huge colorful curtain with a diameter of nearly 200 meters.
As soon as the illusory curtain formed, it quickly pressed down to the ground. At the same time, from the top of the color screen, a number of color jellyfish are drilled, and the color silk is connected with the color screen.
This huge colorful curtain is naturally the enlarged color dress.
From the appearance of the Phantom Clothes to the crushing of all twelve people under the Phantom Clothes, it was only a moment's work. Before the twelve people could react, they were immediately entangled by the endless phantom jellyfish, and the mana was quickly sucked away, and the whole body was quickly paralyzed.
A few people blew up a few magic weapons at the last moment to open an exit, but these self-detonation magic weapons could not cause any damage to the magic clothes at all, except for killing dozens or hundreds of Phantom Jellyfish.
There were also many people who wanted to escape, but the entire ground was frozen by the ice, and they couldn't perform the escape technique at all.
Seeing that the mana was about to run out soon, these people finally began to panic, and a few weak-willed people had already begun to beg for mercy.
"Ren Xiaoyao, you can't kill us, we are the secret guards of Nangong City, if you kill us, you yourself can't escape the punishment of Nangong City, you will definitely die. ”
