Chapter 44: The Female Assassin

Previous Chapter

Leno looked at the Assassin through the enlarged window in the box. The Assassin was covered in a white robe, covered with a white scarf over his face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes. To Li Nuo's surprise, the assassin's graceful figure wrapped in white robes turned out to be a woman.

At the moment when the bell rang, the female assassin's figure had already turned into a gust of wind, and by the time she reappeared, she was already behind Palmer, and the dagger in her left hand was smeared against the back of Palmer's neck, and the dagger in her right hand was straight to the back of his heart.

Without hesitation, Palmer bent over his knees, his sword reversed, his sword sharpened, and he scrambled while avoiding the dagger.

The female assassin bent over her abdomen and retreated. Only this time, she knew that the opponent was strong, and the spirit field had become an extension of her body, and she could perceive everything around her without seeing or hearing, just by the subtle fluctuations of the spirit field. Unless she finds a flaw in her opponent's field, she can't think of winning a blow.

Palmer's body was shaped into a spinning top, spinning and approaching, and the sword light followed like a shadow, not leaving the waist and abdomen of the female assassin. The female assassin kicked her feet together and kept backing away, trying to escape the sword light.

As soon as the two fought, they were thrilled, retreating and advancing, pressing step by step, and the female assassin would end up with a broken stomach as long as the speed was a little slow.

The female assassin retreated to the base of the wall, still not freed from the sword light, and seemed to have been cornered. Seeing that her back was about to hit the wall, her feet kicked against the wall, and she continued to retreat upwards as if she were walking on the ground.

Even more peculiarly, Palmer seemed to have expected her to do this, and continued to spin along the wall, the sword still a fraction of a centimeter away from the female assassin's waist.

The female assassin took five or six steps back, her feet slipping, and her whole body fell backwards, and Palmer's blade dodged against her abdomen, only to be dodged by her.

The female Assassin pressed her body straight against the wall, and with two daggers stuck into the wall, she steadied herself and kicked her opponent with both feet as she wore out her moves.

Palmer's spinning body suddenly stopped, his back was facing up, in a horizontal line, and he flew upside down from the wall, and his feet were also kicked in a row.

The two kicked each other a few times in the air with four legs, but neither of them was pleased.

Palmer landed steadily, sword raised, and looked across the air from the female Assassin who was still clinging to the wall, both of them with admiration in their eyes.

Li Nuo watched the two of them fight in the box, and then he realized the difference between high-level and low-level, and couldn't help but ask: "Is Palmer using martial arts just now?" ”

He was still proud of being able to successfully dodge Byron's sword move last night, but now that he saw Palmer and the female assassin fighting, he realized that he was just a frog at the bottom of the well, and if he was a female assassin, he was afraid that he would not even be able to catch Palmer's sword.

Nie Feichen said: "They were just testing their opponents just now, and Palmer used swordsmanship, not swordsmanship. ”

Li Nuo's heart shook wildly, no wonder the silver monkey looked down on him last night, it turned out that he was so far from the real master.

Nie Feichen saw that Li Nuo's face had changed drastically, and knew that he had been hit, and said: "Palmer's spiral sword technique looks sharp, but it is actually just his application of the Spirit, and it is not irresistible. The reason why the female assassin avoided such a thrilling situation was limited by the characteristics of the assassin. The Assassin was agile and adept at close combat, and the female Assassin seemed to be too close to Palmer's sword and could die at any moment, but in fact it was all under her control, not as dangerous as it seemed. ”

At the scene, not only Li Nuo was not eyesighted enough, but Ji Er also did not reach the level of a high-level martial artist, so she asked curiously: "Then which of them has a better chance of winning?"

Nie Feichen said: "If you simply learn from each other, Palmer will definitely lose." But now it's a gladiatorial match, and I think Palmer has a better chance of winning. ”

Hearing him say so sure, even Finn became curious and asked, "How could Brother Nie be so sure?"

Nie Feichen said: "Assassins are good at concealing their figures, sneaking attacks secretly, and rarely appear in the arena to confront people head-on. Since this female assassin dared to do this, it showed that her martial arts must be unique, and it was likely to be a skill that disturbed the opponent's vision. Unfortunately, she met Palmer, who had spent three years blindfolded with a black cloth and plugged his ears with cotton balls in order to train his senses, so he could not be disturbed by his opponents. If a female Assassin uses a deceptive skill, she is likely to be overpowered by Palmer. ”

Finn sighed, "Palmer really deserves the name of a martial idiot, and the tenacity of this person is really rare. ”

Li Nuo was shocked in his heart, it was hard to imagine that a person was willing to become a blind and deaf person for three years, how ruthless this person should be to himself in order to achieve this level.

Nie Feichen said: "They are almost warmed up, so it's time to get serious." ”

During the conversation between several people, Palmer and the female assassin had fought several times, and on the surface, no one had the upper hand, but the female assassin had been avoiding more attacks and less attacks, and every time she attacked, the angle was extremely tricky, forcing Palmer to spend a lot of effort to resolve, and her consumption was much less than Palmer's, and Palmer had suffered a dark loss.

Suddenly, Palmer's sword move changed, and the sword light became trance-like, turning into thousands of cold rays of light enveloping the female assassin. The female assassin retreated violently, and her speed was extremely fast, leaving an afterimage in the field, which was difficult to avoid.

Palmer obviously only has a long sword in his hand, but every time he stabs out with a sword, he is accompanied by countless sword shadows, and he doesn't know which one is real and which one is fake.

The female assassin did not dare to take it hard, and kept wandering around the field, and her speed did not decrease, and there were afterimages of her everywhere.

For a while, the sword light and afterimages in the field were criss-crossed, making it impossible to distinguish the true from the fake.

"Which sword of Palmer is real?"

Nie Feichen said: "It's all true. ”

"How is this possible? It's counterintuitive. ”

"Palmer's sword still has only one, and the others are simulated by the field, but these simulated swords are equally sharp, and they can also hurt people. ”

Ji'er suddenly exclaimed, "Huh, when did it get so foggy in the field?" and the female assassin was gone. ”

The fight in the arena changed again, and a thick fog enveloped Palmer and the female assassin at some point, and Palmer stood silently in the thick fog, countless long swords surrounded him, and the female assassin's figure disappeared.

Everyone recalled, and then remembered that while the female assassin kept leaving an afterimage, there seemed to be a faint white smoke accompanying her afterimage, and no one paid attention to it at the time, but they didn't expect it to be the back hand of the counterattack she left behind when she was blindly dodging. The white smoke erupted in an instant, forming a thick white mist, and the female assassin dressed in white hid in the thick fog, showing no trace.

Li Nuo asked, "Are these dense fogs also martial arts?"

Nie Feichen nodded, and explained: "The aura absorbed by the assassin contains elements, martial arts mutations, and contains the characteristics of the Yuan Soul, and the martial arts displayed have also magical attributes. These fogs aren't just as simple as hiding your body, you see. ”

At that moment, the female assassin's figure suddenly flashed out of the thick fog, and she fell to the ground like a snake and scurried towards Palmer. The swords around Palmer reacted instantly, stabbing at the female assassin in unison, shattering her body to pieces.

Only then did Li Nuo realize that the figure of the female assassin was actually turned into a thick fog, not a real person. He also understood the meaning of Nie Feichen's words, these dense fogs could actually transform into humans.

At the same time that the phantom of the female assassin was shattered, the figures of the eight female assassins condensed from the dense fog and attacked Palmer from eight directions.

At this time, the long sword condensed in Palmer's field was too late to recall, and when he saw that Palmer was in danger, seven sword lights were re-condensed around him to stab the seven female assassin figures, and the long sword in his right hand was reversed, and the female assassin figure behind the assassin was reversed.

At this moment, he seemed to have made a judgment that the other seven figures were all illusory, and only the one behind him was the real body.

Sure enough, seven sword lights shattered seven figures, but his backstabbing sword pierced into the body of the figure behind him, and the figure did not disappear.

Just when everyone thought Palmer's judgment was accurate, a voice sounded above Palmer's head: "You've been fooled. ”

Another female Assassin landed in the air, her head and feet, the daggers in her hands thrust upside down above Palmer's head. It turns out that the figure that sneaked up from behind is still a phantom, and only this one is the real killer move.

"Really?" said Palmer calmly.

The long sword in his right hand that was inserted into the phantom behind him suddenly disappeared, and a long sword appeared in his left hand, which twisted like lightning above his head. The long sword in his right hand turned out to be a spiritual transformation, and the real long sword had been changed to his left hand at some point.

"Ding Ding ......" A sound of gold and iron sounded, this was the first and only contact between the two blades since the start of the war.

The fog lifted, and Palmer and the female assassin were separated.

Palmer stood tall with a sword, his eyes calm, and his golden armor glittered in the sun, like a god of war.

The female Assassin knelt on one knee, her dagger hanging in both hands, her right shoulder blood-red, blood dripping down her right arm.

The female assassin said: "I lost, I want to kill or chop, listen to it." Although she was injured, her voice was still unwavering.

She's not without the strength to fight, but in the face of a master like Palmer, there is no point in dying.

"Let's go. "Palmer was as calm as ever.

"You should know that the arena is only about life and death, whether you win or lose. ”

"So what? I'm only here to fight, and the rules of the arena can't bind me. The opponent is hard to meet, not to mention that it is still a beautiful female opponent. ”

"If you think you can humiliate me at will by letting me go, you're wrong. "The female Assassin didn't buy Palmer's favors.

"I apologize to you for my mistake. I don't need you to admit it, but I want you to help me kill someone, and that's my reward. With that, Palmer threw the female assassin a large bag of gold coins.

Everyone thinks it's weird, is it really appropriate to buy @homicide in such an open and honest way?

The female assassin said coldly, "Who?"

Listening to her tone, there was no intention of refusing.

"Myself. It's not your forte to fight head-to-head, I want you to use all your skills and kill me for a year. If you fail, I don't want you to return the pay, and in a year, I will kill you. Palmer said coldly.

Palmer didn't seek his own death, he just wanted to use the female assassin's assassination skills to hone himself.

The female assassin apparently understood what he meant, and turned to leave. Since she did not return the honorarium, it is equivalent to taking over the task.
