The dark shadow's eyes flashed with crimson light, and the dagger in his hand fell.
First, there was no sound. When the general was about half a foot closer to the back of Zhang Kun's head, a cracking thunder sound suddenly erupted from the dagger. In an instant, the speed increased tenfold and a hundredfold...
The black light on the dagger flourished, and a wave of corrosive, sour, and chaotic energy suddenly swept across.
Chi...
Amidst the explosive sound waves, a ray of light fell down, and the tables, chairs, and walls made of fine bluestone were like dust, being chopped open by this sword.
The floor of the room was covered with cracks, and each crack penetrated more than ten meters deep into the ground.
A strike with a sword was so powerful that even if there was a golden knight in front of him, he would be killed at least half to death if he was unprepared.
However, the sword felt empty. The aristocratic young man sitting quietly reading under the candlelight was like a phantom. When the sword light fell, the phantom dissipated.
It seemed that he had never been sitting there in the first place, but that he was just dazzled.
A trace of disbelief and shock flashed in the eyes of the dark assassin, and with a chill in his heart, he was about to retreat into the shadows again. A familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded from behind him, "This is the transformation technique and backstab. Let's assemble." With all the energy and blood in his body, he unleashed a violent and bloodthirsty blow, which is indeed quite lethal... However, what I don’t understand is, where did the trick get exposed, and someone actually sent assassins like you to come and take action?”
The reason why I say this voice is familiar is because I have heard it since I was a child.
Strange, of course, I have never heard the dark figure speak in such a dignified and cold voice that has the overall situation in mind. All along, in that mansion, the other party will always be cautious and respectful. Anyone.
Even when facing the servants who are like ants, they are full of smiles and will not make people feel a trace of oppression.
Edward was originally a gentle and aristocratic young man.
He has always been called the "gentle young master" by the people in the territory. Later, another person called him, "the kind-hearted baron".
At this time, hearing the other party's questioning words, the dark figure only felt a chill, but did not feel strange. He thought to himself that what the master guessed was indeed true.
He slowly turned around, revealing a pale face. The candlelight had been extinguished. Only the wisps of moonlight coming from the broken wall and window could make people see clearly. This man was thin and had sharp eyebrows. The cheeks were fleshless, and the eyes were red and wild, with a faint murderous intent surging.
"You saw me, and you still don't know what went wrong? Young Master, I don't know if you are pretending to be stupid, or if you are really stupid. What I said is indeed true. You are a disaster. You should not have been allowed to escape in the first place. Opportunity."
Black smoke slowly floated from the dark figure's body, and his voice was dry, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.
"Master, you are talking about Earl Bauhinia. He actually sent people to kill his own son. It seems that there are a lot of secrets in this."
Zhang Kun was a little surprised.
He thought that perhaps it was an enemy from the Forest of Green Fields, or perhaps a competitor from Star Academy wanted to eliminate this "hidden danger" and eliminate the alliance between the opposing academy and the local nobles.
He also speculated that maybe his younger brother Steve, with this identity, sent someone to assassinate his brother in order to fight for the right to inherit...
The only thing he didn't expect was that he was sent by the supreme ruler of this territory, Earl Bauhinia.
Tiger poison does not eat its seeds, so what is the reason for the count to assassinate his eldest son to death? What kind of deep secrets are there?
Zhang Kun suddenly felt that his choice of this identity replacement did not seem like a good thing, but seemed to have caused some big trouble.
"You don't know, how could you not know?"
The face of the pitch-black figure suddenly changed. His face, which was originally slightly gloomy, now looked a little more frightened.
"You're not Edward, who are you?"
As soon as he shouted, the energy in his body was strong, as if he was going to fight with all his strength. The next moment, the figure that rushed forward turned into smoke and dissipated in the air, among the thin light and shadow of the moon. There was no trace of him again.
"You're bluffing and running away with Shadow Escape. You're a veteran. Another person might have let you escape. It's a pity that you met me."
Zhang Kun took one step forward and sank slightly into the earth and rocks. He only felt the earth around him like wind and water, gently pushing his body. It was a more peculiar feeling than when he was running his body skills on his way.
The Five Elements Escape Technique recorded in the "Dunjia Heavenly Book" indeed has a strange and wonderful effect. Especially when the Five Elements reached the second level, he felt that he could escape everything around him, whether it was mud, water, fire or gold. .
The only regret is that this escape technique doesn't seem to be able to escape too far at once. It's just over forty meters away, but it's not enough, and you have to come out to take a breath.
Zhang Kun knew that this was because he did not have enough mental strength to control the operation of spells over such a distance.
But enough is enough.
The quickness of the escape technique consumes almost no time. Compared with space teleportation, it may be a little slower, but the actual slowness is not easy to distinguish.
When he appeared, in Jiuxuan's eyes, a black light and shadow was running towards him like lightning.
Thinking that he saw his own figure, the black figure suddenly stopped suddenly, his face turned even whiter with fright, and his figure went from hiding to breaking through the technique and appeared in the real field of vision.
"you……"
"You can't escape, just surrender and capture me."
Zhang Kun tried the magical effect of escape, and his mood became better, and he did not blame the other party for destroying his temporary residence.
"It's a joke, do you think you can defeat me?"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, the dark figure became fierce.
The dagger in his hand danced forward wildly, drawing a wonderful trajectory, and his body also jumped like a dance.
The sword flashed and struck dozens of vital points on Zhang Shen's body.
It was actually a head-on attack.
The attack was like a violent storm, and Zhang Kun cut the uncut area with one strike. He suddenly put his sword back and looked behind him, and stabbed out with a completely unpretentious sword.
The attack was forward, but he drew the sword backward.
It happened to hit the mark.
Chi...
As the blade of the knife penetrated the flesh, there was a muffled groan.
Blood splattered.
The assassin reappeared ten meters away.
An arm fell to the ground just now, and it beat wildly for a few times as if it was alive before stopping.
Zhang Kun slowly turned around, nodded and commented: "This frontal sneak attack is very good. It uses sword energy to press the acupoints in front of me, but it turns into arc light, steps into the void, and attacks behind me. ...However, you are no match for me, surrender, I will keep you alive."
Zhang Kun held the long knife in his hand and stood there like a mountain, with a force of energy firmly locking the opponent. At this time, he was not afraid of the opponent escaping.
The qi of the two sides are attracted to each other, and if they move the whole body, no matter whether they are in the sky or on the earth, they can't escape.
The reason why he surrendered was not because he was interested in any secret.
But I simply feel that talent is rare.
This assassin's attacks didn't seem as majestic or powerful as that of the golden knight he met during the day, but the two were not warriors of the same style and could not be measured by their attack power.
In Zhang Kun's opinion, under certain circumstances, the lethality of the assassin in front of him was even higher than that of the Golden Knight.
If he didn't have the "Nine Mysterious Eyes" as well as the Transformation Technique and the Five Elements Escape Technique, he would definitely be at a loss when facing this assassin, and it would be very difficult to keep up with the rhythm.
Because this guy is used to being sneaky and capable of sneak attacks, but he will never confront you head-on.
As for the attack power, the backstab in the first sneak attack actually reached the attack power of the Golden Knight's full blow.
Strictly speaking, he is considered a level 16 assassin.
That Lord Count, who can control assassins of this level, must not be too weak. No matter what, he will not be lower than the gold level.
After a hasty discussion among several people earlier, Zhang Kun understood that in this foreign land, he could not achieve great things by fighting alone. Unless he was strong enough to push the gods alone and sweep across the foreign world, otherwise, in the end, In the long run, Blue Star will eventually be at a huge disadvantage in terms of force levels.
As a result, absorbing masters from other worlds is inevitable.
I heard that on the opposite side of some space passages, you will encounter races such as Warcraft, Orcs, orcs that cannot communicate with you. You have no choice but to fight to the death.
However, facing the same human beings, there is communication, negotiation, and opportunities for surrender.
The problem of loyalty is indeed not easy to solve.
There is no need to solve it, as long as you survive the early stage, everything will be easy to handle.
At least, people in this world cannot be allowed to regard the opposite Blue Star as a pig or cow to be slaughtered. Once they are afraid, it will be easy to handle.
Besides, according to Zhang Kun's judgment, it is impossible for all forces in this foreign world to have thoughts about Blue Star.
They don't have the strength, nor the thought.
For most forces, even self-protection is a problem. In other words, focus on your own one-third of an acre of land, and will not distract others from wasting strength and energy on a foreign space that is out of reach.
The real threats to Blue Star are the ignorant orcs, warcraft, etc.
This kind of invasion of the instinct of escape is unreasonable.
Furthermore, some superior gods may instigate believers to seize a huge belief base for some purposes. This kind of attack is the most dangerous.
Therefore, in view of this, if you want to survive the crisis of alien invasion, killing everyone on sight is not a good way. Blue Star is at a disadvantage and cannot do this.
Passive defense is not enough. If you defend for a long time, you will lose. If you continue to defend like this, one day you will be unable to defend.
The best way is to recruit a group of people.
Use offense as defense.
Winning and subduing a large number of forces in other worlds, laying down a large territory, expanding the war to the enemy's territory.
In the course of the war, it rapidly strengthens itself until it is so powerful that one day it can make any invading opponent feel difficult to swallow. That is when Blue Star is truly stable.
The assassin in front of him is a rare master. Since Zhang Kun dares to surrender, he is not afraid of him going back on his word, so he naturally has his own means to control it.
A small method used by the Seven Emotions Technique, the Seven Emotions Heart Seal, can do this.
The more you study this spell, the more you will feel that it has infinite uses, but it is just a little sinister.
Under normal circumstances, there is no need to use it, but it is perfectly suitable to use it on enemies who have assassinated oneself.
"To want me to surrender is ridiculous."
The assassin suddenly sneered.
His eyes became more fierce, his face shone with black light, and he murmured a spell in his mouth.
The aura on his body increased endlessly.
Black lines are wandering on the skin, and the muscles are abnormally bulging, like tree roots entangled...
Although Zhang Kun had a good idea, this assassin with a broken arm didn't seem to value life that much.
Perhaps, he still felt that he had enough trump cards and was confident enough to escape and even kill the enemy in front of him.
This time, the assassin's style of play was completely different from before.
Black light flashed around him, like a powerful arrow from the string, rushing towards Zhang Kun. In the middle of the way, the man used the dagger as a sharp edge, and his whole body spun around. The whole body twisted into a spiral shape, and the huge torque turned into a thorn. With force, he pointed directly at Zhang Kun's chest.
"Stubborn."
Zhang Kun snorted coldly.
He took a long breath and suddenly swung his knife.
The light of the sword faintly transformed into a roaring silver dragon, with the dragon's head sticking out more than three feet from the blade. The entire manor seemed to have turned from night to day, illuminated in blazing white.
Amid the dragon's roar that was faintly transmitted to everyone's hearts and ears, the assassin's spiral piercing sword turned into dust and gray smoke like snow under the scorching sun, scattering into dust and falling to the ground, wah...
A cloud of dust flew up.
He was actually beaten to ashes by Zhang Kun with his sword, including his skin and bones.
In the distant void, there was an angry roar, and as the black smoke on the black-clothed assassin was melted by the power of the flaming sun on Zhang Kun's long sword, it gradually disappeared.
Zhang Kun stepped back a few steps, leaving a few deep footprints, but his eyes were a little more cautious.
'I was almost summoned by this guy to an unknown monster. It seems that I can't be too reckless. The opponents in this world can summon weird things from other planes at any time without their lives. If a big monster really comes out, it will be difficult to fight. . '
As soon as I turned around, I saw the knights and guards around me who were awakened and rushed towards me, all of them looking anxious.
Dancing his sword, he stepped forward to support.
Feeling slightly weird in his heart, Zhang Kun coughed lightly, put on his gentle and gentle face again, and said with a smile: "It's okay, there was an assassin attacking just now, it should be a master of strange demons, please retreat."
"Yes, Lord Baron."
The fastest runners were the two silver knights, Yalins and Alman, two middle-aged strong men, one holding a big sword and the other holding a warhammer.
These two Zhang Kun knew.
When Edward was "confessed" under the Seven Emotions Technique, he heard that they were all close associates brought by Edward's dead mother, including the golden knight "Uncle Xia" and the old butler Colin.
Being "exiled" to Thornhill as a baron was both a disaster and an opportunity for Edward. Most of the people who followed him were recruited, and a small number of experts were the power left by his mother.
Originally, Edward still had some opportunities, and finally made a comeback and won the title of earl.
Because he has a "final resort".
It's a pity that he never made it clear what this "final resort" was... Later, when the three hundred knights were about to arrive in the green jungle, Zhang Kun had to stop and ask.
He called four knights into the jungle, dealt with several of them on the spot, and hurriedly buried them all together with the bodies of "Uncle Thea" and "Edward".
After the Blue Star team members dressed up and changed their identities, they put on their suits and armor and completed the act of assuming their identities.
At the same time, the opportunity to inquire about the details was also lost.
"Master, are you injured? This assassin?"
"It's probably a strong force sent by Steve."
Zhang Kun casually threw the pot on Edward's half-brother.
"damn it."
"That kid Steve has been evil since he was a child. We should have found a way to kill him earlier."
The two Silver Knights are obviously not fuel-efficient lamps either.
At this time, he spoke fiercely.
Veins popped out when he pinched the weapon in his arm.
"It's okay. It will be the same if we find a way to deal with him in the future. The most important thing now is to integrate all the forces in Thorn Ridge first. Unfortunately, Uncle Xia's whereabouts are unknown, and the Church of Dawn..."
Zhang Kun beat around the bush and roughly understood the situation in the barony.
I also understood why there was a bounty order, and knew that it was the Church of Dawn that led all this, calling on all forces to deal with Blue Star.
After receiving this news, Zhang Kun's heart tightened, knowing that his action plan would be accelerated.
If Oliver Knight of the Judgment Knights is allowed to call reinforcements from all over, as more and more masters come from Thorn Ridge, whether it is to attack Blue Star again, or to use this force to force himself, the "Baron", to take the lead, Neither is a good thing.
