Chapter 52 Confrontation
As the night wore on, the barbarian warriors fell asleep one by one, snoring one after another.
The sky was full of thick clouds, the wind was strong, and it was snowing again, and it was a good time to kill. A group of temple warriors walked with calm steps, walked around the camp of the participating soldiers, and saw that there was nothing unusual, and then walked towards the temple. The standard of this group of samurai was very high, not only were there several high-ranking samurai in the team, but even an elder led the team! If the warriors participating in the festival are plotted, they can only blame themselves for their lack of ability.
Richard's mind was ethereal, lying on the bed, his body was also in the best state of relaxation, and in the darkness, he could see a series of stunning red flashes from time to time, which was Richard's repeated practice of killing a knife.
But the darkness in Richard's room was different tonight, so thick that it seemed to smell a little sticky, and the many shadows in the room seemed to come alive, writhing and twisting around Richard. They were all shadow creatures, but now they were in a state of confusion and confusion. They didn't feel Richard's strong aura, just like an ordinary person, but they instinctively didn't want to get close to Richard, especially when the red glow on Richard's fingertips lit up, and all the shadow creatures were retreating. However, as soon as the red rays were extinguished, they slowly approached Richard again. It was the instinct of shadow creatures to hunt entities.
Richard set subtle magic traps at the door, outside the window, and on the roof. For the barbarian warriors, these magic traps can serve as a warning, but in the eyes of the connoisseur in the real darkness, this little trick is useless. However, Richard seemed to have a natural trust in those magic traps, and he actually practiced the knife in the room with full concentration.
In the night, a vague black shadow fell quietly on Richard's roof, and with a sweep of his gaze, he bypassed all the magical alarms set on the roof. In his hand he held a bareless dagger that seemed to be alive and writhing. If you close your eyes and perceive it, even the powerhouses of the Holy Domain will feel that there is no one on Richard's roof, which shows that this person's ability to conceal his aura has reached an extremely high level. His every movement is able to blend in with his surroundings, and although he doesn't use invisibility, it's almost as effective as invisibility. This is the advanced realm of the killer, and if you use the stealth technique, it is easier for the strong to detect the abnormality.
He walked slowly to the edge of the roof, and was about to jump down, when suddenly his whole body tensed and slowly raised his head.
Not far away, on the roof sat a man in his early thirties, who was ordinary-looking and not very tall, and would be instantly forgotten in the crowd. But the mellow and soft feeling on his body came to his face, making the surrounding places seem like early spring. The man appeared so suddenly, and if he hadn't seen him with his own eyes, the killer on the roof of Richard wouldn't have known that there was still a person sitting there. A hint of horror flashed in the killer's eyes, he clearly remembered that when he saw the surroundings just now, there had never been such a man at all.
The man didn't seem to see the killer, and he seemed to see it, but he didn't care, just sat with his knees crossed, looking at the thick clouds in the night sky, as if he could see the rules of the plane from there.
The killer hesitated, a chill flashing in his eyes. He had already been explained before he came, and this matter had been tacitly approved by the Snow Mountain Elders, so it didn't matter what he did. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he ignored the mysterious man who suddenly appeared, and jumped down like a wisp of green smoke, ready to break through the window.
The man was still looking at the night sky, but he shook his head imperceptibly and muttered, "Why bother if you have to find yourself bored?"
His voice was neither loud nor small, just enough for the killer to hear. All the killer's actions were breathless, but the man's words made him almost fall on his head. But as soon as he rushed in, the killer suddenly felt that the darkness around him had changed, and it became thick and sticky, which greatly hindered his movements, and there was a stronger sense of danger coming from all around, but for a moment he couldn't see what was attacking him.
The killer's mind was racing, and he suddenly remembered something, and almost cried out out in a lost voice: "Shadow creatures!"
Shadow creatures are indeed shadow creatures, and there are quite a few of them, and the whole room is full of ferocious shadow creatures! Shadow creatures have an instinctive detection of life, and as soon as this killer appears, it immediately attracts the attention of all shadow creatures, and they immediately entangle and besiege. The killer was startled, and the dagger flew in all directions, slicing several approaching shadow creatures into pieces in an instant. But the killer's eyes suddenly lit up with a bright red light! That light was approaching at an incredible speed, and in an instant, a huge shadow of death enveloped the killer's heart!
He froze for a moment, and then, with a strange scream, slammed out of the window at a faster speed than he came, and fled into the wilderness, disappearing into the night in an instant. This movement was not small, which alarmed many barbarian powerhouses nearby, and they went out of the house to check, naturally they couldn't see anything. The man sitting on the roof was long gone.
In the room, Richard didn't get up at all, just reached out and pointed at the killer finger. This action is not big, but it is full of a little essence of life. It's just that the killer's strength is too strong, and he immediately retreats as soon as he feels wrong, but Richard doesn't have time to chase and kill. But Richard was just trying to scare him away, and his whole mind was on the coming battle, not wanting to be distracted by these trivialities.
The remaining shadow creatures gathered towards Richard again, and the red light in the room flickered a few times, outlining an intricate pattern, and by the way, all the shadow creatures were chopped up. If such a powerful killer can't succeed, Richard believes that there should be nothing wrong tonight, and there won't be many such killers in the hands of the other party.
The magic trap that Richard had set up outside the room was only the first line of defense, intended to relax the vigilance of the enemy, and the real defense and vigilance was actually the shadow creatures he had summoned. Shadow creatures are naturally sensitive to life, and the usual means of concealment have no effect on them, they can only be deceived, but not deceited. So Richard used the murderous aura of life and the camouflage of his own aura to control them and make them hesitate. And at this moment, the sudden intrusion of the killer was like a flame in the darkness, immediately attracting the attention of all shadow creatures. In this case, shadow life is the best alarm.
The red glow in the room slowly faded, and those broken shadows suddenly condensed in one place, and then turned into an ordinary-sized shadow diamond, which fell into Richard's hands. Richard looked at the unexpected gain, smiled, and put it in his pocket. The killer's final action was a bit strange, no longer the perfect concealment at the beginning, it was supposed to be a mistake that should not be made, Richard thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he put it aside and continued to practice his knife technique.
Moments later, at the camping place of the Holy Tree Dynasty, the Chinese archbishop looked gloomy as he examined the injuries of a thin man. This man was the killer who went to assassinate Richard, and he didn't have too serious injuries on his body, just minor wounds. But the dozen or so breaches on his body that were scratched by shadow creatures were just that, and a little scarlet on his throat was shocking. A strong man like this kind of Cheng dΓΉ was injured in this part, no matter how big or small the injury was, the situation at that time must have been extremely thrilling. Hua Wen sprinkled a little holy light with a wave of his hand, and lightly expelled the shadow power from the killer's wound, while inquiring about the situation in detail, not letting go of every detail. When he heard the man who suddenly appeared, Hua Wen's face suddenly changed, and he kept asking. After a moment, the Chinese bishop gritted his teeth and spat out a name: "Tibetan Sword?"
The killer was also taken aback, the Martial Saint Hidden Sword of the Millennium Empire was a famous super powerhouse in Noland, a Heavenly Saint Killer like him might be able to fight against ordinary legends, but under the Hidden Sword, I am afraid that he would not even have the power to fight back. Just how did the Hidden Sword appear in the Sanctuary of Carlando?
The killer was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask. In fact, he understood that the Chinese bishop was ostensibly treating his injuries, but in fact he was asking about the situation at that time, and if he did not do his best in the slightest, he would inevitably be severely punished.
Huawen's face was cloudy, and after a while, he said to the killer: "You go back, remember, don't mention a word about the hidden sword." β
"Yes, Your Excellency. The killer saluted respectfully and left.
The Chinese bishop's face became more and more gloomy, and after thinking for a moment, he walked out of the room and said to the knight who was standing, "Prepare the horses, let's go to the temple!"
A quarter of an hour later, the Grand Elder appeared in the Chamber Hall along with several other elders of the Temple. Several elders sat down separately, but none of them spoke first.
The Chinese Archbishop said compassionately: "His Royal Highness Tibetan Sword, since he has already come, why should he be embarrassed to come out?"
Outside the door of the temple, the warm voice of the hidden sword immediately sounded: "I just don't want to see you." β
"I'm the same, but no matter how much I hate it, I always have to meet when I need to meet, don't I?" Hua Wen said.
Zangjian slowly walked into the council hall, sat down in the chair, and a pair of crystal eyes scanned the hall for a week, and then withdrew his gaze and looked at Hua Wen calmly.
"Your Highness Tibetan Sword, why are you here too? The environment of the Carlando Snow Mountain is treacherous, and if you accidentally can't return to Norland, it's not good. For a thousand-year-old empire, this is an unaffordable loss. Hua Wen said coldly, the threat in his tone was full of meaning.
Tibetan Sword smiled indifferently and said: "The thousand-year-old empire has a deep foundation, and there are as many strong as stars, and the loss of a Tibetan sword is really not a big deal." But you are an indispensable talent of the Holy See, and without you, the dirty and dark deeds of the Holy See will not be able to continue. β
