Chapter 379 Black Knife Team
The boatman obviously knew the situation of the black market waterway and also knew the means to ambush the group of people secretly.
Any time you take action, it is absolutely impossible to give the target a chance to survive.
So the "thirty seconds" he told Ji Xun was not a deliberate intimidation.
But after crossing this water, they entered the enemy's ambush circle.
Even if you want to leave by then, it will be too late.
Ji Xun listened, still thinking and making no comment.
When the [Grey Mist Remaining Photo] came into his hands, there was no way he would just give it to a guy of unknown origin.
Furthermore, the boatman’s motives are very mysterious, and what he said may not be entirely true.
Ji Xun doesn’t trust people that easily.
After hearing what the boatman said about the deal, Ji Xun remained calm on the surface, and there was no emotion in his tone: "Why do you think that I will believe you easily? Or, before saying these words, should you first Report your family?”
Before entering the black market, Ji Xun had thought about being hacked.
So no matter what kind of robber he encounters, he will not be surprised.
On the contrary, it was a surprise to meet such a guy who can perfectly control human puppets.
“I’m just kindly reminding you.”
The boatman also heard the other party's distrust, his tone became more urgent, and he was still slightly angry: This guy is so stupid, how dare he come to the Black Market of Thieves City alone?
But this was the only chance he had to safely access the photo after staring at it for so long.
Never give up.
The boatman did not intend to reveal his identity, and added: "There are still five seconds. Just think about it, once the boat passes the corner of the river, I can't save you!"
Ji Xun didn't take it seriously at all and continued to test: "So, who are you?"
He also saw it, that photo seemed to be really important to this guy.
Human nature is hard to hide at times like this.
So Ji Xun also jokingly wondered whether the other party was willing to risk his life for the photo?
The boatman couldn't hide his anger when he was asked: "You"
If he didn't take action here, he would be attacked from both sides. He really wanted to take action and rob it directly.
But as soon as the thought flashed, it was suppressed.
His intuition told him that something was wrong.
Actually, it’s not Ji Xun’s nagging purpose.
But as soon as the boatman said that his purpose was to take photos, Ji Xun deduced another possibility: this guy was fished.
The old black-toothed woman sold this photo to herself just now, with the intention of slaughtering herself as a fat sheep;
But there may not be a plan to lure out the puppet master behind the boatman.
It soon proved that he was right.
The boatman failed to convince Ji Xun after all.
The sampan quickly turned around the dark corner of the river and came to an empty cave space.
The "Boatman" knew that his opportunity had been lost, and he said nothing in a dull tone, and cursed angrily: "Stupid!"
Ji Xun had no intention of getting serious with a puppet and sat leisurely on the boat.
At this moment, without warning, a murderous intention made him frown: "Poison?"
Ji Xun did not see the enemy, nor did he notice anything abnormal, but he sensed it. Fatal crisis.
Think about the conventional card master’s methods, which are most likely to be poison attacks.
I am also wearing a gas mask on my face, so it is possible that the pores of my skin can absorb special poisons.
"Some tricks."
Ji Xun looked at it for a while but didn't recognize what kind of toxin it was. He thought it was some secret formula.
He did not use Gang Qi to isolate the surrounding space, which would let the enemy know at a glance that they had been discovered.
Just control the repulsion to slightly isolate everything on the surface of the skin.
The sampan continued to row forward, and the sound of water rushed to my ears.
Ji Xun's "intention" now condensed is already very good among the fifth level, especially his sense of malice is already very keen.
After carefully sensing, he found enemies lurking in the water, the smell on the dark rock wall was also strange, and there was an assassin hiding in the darkness.
Several people The aura is very well hidden, and it would be difficult to detect it unless the distance is very close.
This feels right!
It was the same feeling as when the four-man team attacked and killed me in Innocence City.
This is the suffocating feeling unique to elite killer organizations.
Professional, well-trained, kill with one hit.
Ji Xun felt the cold malice that was gradually approaching his neck like a blade, and his expression under the gas mask was already playful.
It was because the enemy was strong that he aroused his desire to fight.
Suddenly!
The enemy is moving!
Without any warning, there was a quiet ripple in the air.
The rhythm was just covered by the water waves caused by the boatman's rowing boat, and it was as weak as a wisp of breeze hitting the neck.
Ji Xun noticed it, but he didn't feel that the attack was really fatal to him, so he didn't move in a hurry.
At this moment, the other person is faster!
Seeing him being attacked, the "Boatman" finally took action.
Once the "outsider" in front of me is killed, I don't know how long it will take to have such a good opportunity to come into contact with the photo again.
Even if it’s a risk, give it a try!
The boatman grabbed it with one hand, and several crystalline threads suddenly appeared in the void.
As soon as the silk thread was pulled between the fingers, a "crunch" sounded like a sharp metal sound, and a hooded killer wearing a tight black leather jacket was pulled out of stealth out of thin air.
Ji Xun watched the boatman "rescue" him, and only then did he finally confirm that this guy and the killer were not the same group.
But at the same time, watching the boatman take action, a strange smile of surprise rang out in the darkness: "Spider cut? Hey, I didn't expect there was an unexpected harvest, Reni, you finally showed up!"
When Ji Xun heard this name, he searched the memory in his mind, but he didn't match up with any masters of Donghuang.
But there was no threat in the first place, and he acted very calmly.
The body shook slightly, which can be regarded as showing a bit of conditioned reflex to the assassination.
The "boatman" on the other side seemed a little flustered.
The sneer in the darkness made him instantly realize that this might be a killing plot against him!
When he thought of this, a card that had been prepared for a long time suddenly appeared in the boatman's hand and was activated.
The moment the cards collapsed, a six-pointed star formation appeared out of thin air.
A huge wooden box appeared on the boat, trying to cover the two of them with the boat.
Ji Xun looked at the means and his eyes lit up: "The secret of magic. Truss's magic box?"
He had seen this secret spell of the [Juggler] sequence in a certain book.
It is said that this is a magical trick that can move space.
Ji Xun has now touched the threshold of the laws of space and vaguely understands the magic method.
It's a bit like a teleportation array. If it is covered by a magic box, it may actually be able to move to another set coordinate point.
It seemed that the "Boatman" had had this idea before.
But it’s a pity.
For the first time, Ji Xun didn’t know who was behind the boatman and what his methods were.
As a black knife killer of the Oran Royal Court's special service team, he knows the means of tracking targets very well.
Looking at the moment when the magic box appeared, the man in the dark was well prepared and sneered: "Haha, you want to leave? It's not that easy!"
Before the magic box could completely cover the boat, with a "swish" sound, a green will-o'-the-wisp burned the box instantly.
At the same time, someone shouted: "Seal this water area! The guy's body is nearby!"
As soon as he finished speaking, I don't know what method the other party used. , the water elements in the dark river strangely condensed into a barrier.
In just an instant, the water flowing in the river turned into a pool of stagnant water.
Ji Xun only glanced at it and murmured: "Water prison barrier?"
As expected, he was a killer trained by the same organization.
The tactical methods are all interrelated.
Although it is not a catastrophic object of the law of space like [Monet's Sunrise], Ji Xun's visual inspection is that it is a rare high-level relic.
"At least three killers. A fourth-level [Assassin]? The one who uses toxins should be [3 of Hearts - Potion Apprentice], and there is a fifth-level who controls the water element. It is most likely [Assassin]. Element Controller]. Hey, isn’t that black-toothed old woman from the black market here? She’s obviously very strong.”
In just the moment of this confrontation, Ji Xun had already seen through the killer’s methods.
But from the current point of view, these guys are using the secrets of the Oran royal family, and they are quite powerful.
The strength of this group is normally enough to kill a fifth-level person.
The three people who set up an ambush in the dark probably thought that the fat sheep had been trapped, and it would not be too late to deal with it later.
And when they accidentally discovered the big fish named "Reni", they immediately switched their firepower.
In addition to the increasingly strong toxins, Ji Xun did not feel any murderous intention targeting him.
On the other side, a sudden "boom" exploded into a cloud of water mist under the water.
Ji Xun watched as a guy wearing a sharkskin cloak was forced out of the water.
At the same time, the river burned and turned into a sea of fire.
"This guy has a very good understanding of the laws of elements"
Ji Xun looked at the spell that made water burn, and immediately recognized that this was another spell that was only in the classics I saw the lost secret technique [Reversal Spell·Water Burning Mystery].
It's a bit like hydrolyzing hydrogen and oxygen, achieving the effect of elemental transformation, and causing water to burn.
As soon as Reni was forced out, the Blade Dancer's poisonous dagger stabbed him.
A dark red dagger was swung in the air until a phantom appeared. Hundreds of shadow blades were airtight, forcing Reni to have nowhere to hide.
The dagger is so smooth, he is not an ordinary assassin.
Ji Xun also finally confirmed the person's occupation sequence, and thought to himself: "It turns out that he is not an [Assassin], but a Blade Dancer of the [Diamond A-Samurai] sequence."
Weapon specialization sequence can maximize the power of weapons.
However, the strange thing is that even though it looked like it was stabbed, no blood was seen.
On the contrary, sparks flew everywhere, and only the sound of "clang, clang, clang" was heard.
Ji Xun took a look and realized that part of Reni's body was actually made of metal. His eyes lit up: "Hey, a mechanical prosthetic limb?"
It wasn't what he saw from the outside world. Attached robotic arm,
But a mechanical prosthesis!
Before he could see what was happening, Reni took out two cards from his other hand and exploded them. Ten smiling puppets suddenly appeared around him.
Seeing this method, Ji Xun's pupils froze slightly, and he finally confirmed something: "It is indeed the [Juggler] sequence. What is the relationship between this guy and Domingo?"
Dong There are indeed still some puppet masters in Huang.
But this Reni in front of him, his method of controlling puppets is exactly the same as that of "The God of Show" Domingo.
The two are definitely related!
Originally, Lenny was still at a numerical disadvantage.
But as soon as this puppet came out, it sprayed water, fire, and poisonous gas, and the mechanism...
The disadvantage was reversed in an instant.
Looking again, there is more than one mechanical prosthesis in Reni's body. From time to time, this guy stretched out some mechanical arms from under his cloak, or held a shield or a sword, or conjured up some miniature missiles and swished around.
This is not a traditional juggler, but a juggler who is proficient in mechanical technology!
Not to mention, Ji Xun found it refreshing to see it, and was amazed in his heart: "It's interesting. This guy transformed his body into a mechanical puppet?"
Unfortunately, Black Knife The assassins clearly knew all about their targets.
At this moment, an "acid bottle" suddenly dropped from under the rock wall that he was staring at.
The sound of crackling glass was heard, and yellow-brown corrosive acid immediately covered a large area where Reni was.
Once a puppet is summoned in the puppet control room, displacement is a fatal shortcoming.
The [Pocist] hiding in the dark had obviously expected this.
The acid bottles were covered indiscriminately, and only a corrosive sound of "hiss, hiss" could be heard.
In the yellow mist, the originally majestic puppets were instantly corroded until they were full of potholes, and were scrapped on the spot. Reni cursed secretly: "Damn it!"
He used the cover of several cannonballs and rushed towards the rock wall above his head. He seemed to want to deal with the sneak attack of the potion master first.
Unfortunately, the team members of the Black Knife Organization cooperated extremely well, and the Blade Dancer stuck to them like a shadow.
In the blink of an eye, the battle entered a white-hot state.
Originally, this section of the underground river was restricted by a barrier. As the two sides clashed with each other, the waves immediately became turbulent.
Ji Xun was teetering on the boat.
Seeing that the other party would not die for a while, he watched with interest.
Originally, I wanted to see the excitement and assess the strength of both parties.
But obviously, both parties in the battle are veterans, how could they ignore him?
Rennie couldn't hide his anger at this moment. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at a guy sitting on the boat watching the theater and roared in his heart: "Why doesn't that guy take action? What on earth is he thinking!"
If I hadn’t had some skills, I would have died several times just now.
Damn it!
How could I meet such stupid teammates!
In Reni's opinion, people who dare to come to the black market to buy things alone must be somewhat capable.
The scheming is definitely not bad.
He originally took the risk to save people, thinking that this "outsider" could at least hold back one killer, so that his situation would be much better.
Unexpectedly, this guy has been fighting for so long and has no intention of interfering at all.
He even suspected that the person in front of him was not an outsider who came to the black market to hunt for goods at all, but a bait to lure him to show up.
But it’s not right!
Just now I was sure that the person with the black knife wanted to kill him, so I took action.
That "outsider" is definitely not from the Black Knife organization.
But why.
Reni couldn't figure out which link went wrong.
On the other side, several people from the Black Knife Organization were equally puzzled.
When they watched Lenny save the man, they thought they were accomplices.
Unexpectedly, after fighting for a long time, the guy didn’t even have any intention of helping?
Frightened?
Absolutely impossible!
How weird it looks.
For those uncertain factors, they choose to actively eliminate them.
Soon the acid spread from the river.
Ji Xun took the boat and was instantly melted like chocolate.
The boat couldn't sit anymore, so he stood on the water while controlling his energy.
But as soon as his feet almost touched the water, he seemed to have discovered something. He smacked his lips and murmured to himself: "Why bother to trouble me if you don't get along well with me?" .”
The fifth-level element controller was very capable. Not only did he use exquisite elemental spells to force Reni to retreat step by step.
He can also transform into an elemental state to avoid damage.
From the very beginning, he has been melting into a water element and hiding in the water, which also evaded most of the attacks from Lenny's puppet.
Normally speaking, card masters of the same level will have a headache when encountering this elemental state that is almost completely immune to physical attacks.
Not only can't be hit, but you can't even see anyone there.
However, Ji Xun looked at the river water at his feet and clearly felt "Qi".
Although it has been transformed into elements, it still requires magic power to maintain it.
In the eyes of Ji Xun, a high-level qigong master, this river is very different from the river water in other places.
He clearly felt that the water with a radius of dozens of square meters under his feet had flowing Qi.
This is the guy who elementally hides in the water.
Originally, even if it was discovered, it would be difficult for someone to injure vital parts of a body of dozens of square meters.
When Ji Xun saw this, he frowned.
He lowered his eyebrows and looked at the moment when two arms emerged from the water under his feet, trying to pull him into the water, and a sharpness suddenly shot out of his eyes.
"Ba Fist·Earth Cry!"
Like lightning, a strange ripple formed on the fist and punched towards the water.
Ji Xun punched the water.
The fist did not penetrate the water, but seemed to use the entire nearby large area of water as a mirror, and punched the plane.
At this moment, time seemed to pause for a second.
Both sides in the distant battle felt the sudden burst of terrifying aura.
Before they understood what happened.
There was only a "click" sound like a shattering mirror ringing in my ears.
Several pairs of eyes stared straight at Ji Xun as spiderweb-like cracks appeared on Ji Xun’s fists.
The crack suddenly exploded with the fist as the center.
The next moment, there was a "bang" sound of a water ball exploding, and the water surface of dozens of meters in radius exploded.
At the same time, something in the water seemed to have been exploded, and the originally dark blue river water was stained with a blood mist.
Ji Xun retracted his fist, glanced at the badly injured guy who escaped, and did not pursue him.
The bursting water droplets fell on the water.
This punch seemed to force the pause button on the battle not far away.
The picture freezes on the spot.
The two sides who were fighting fiercely were immediately dumbfounded, stiff, and all looked over.
“This”
Reni’s eyes widened, as if his brain did not accept the scene before him.
Just now, I was preparing to use the last resort to escape, but I didn't expect that the situation of inevitable defeat would actually be reversed?
You know, the guy who was hit hard just now doesn't know anyone else, but he does.
That is Marika, the cadre of the Black Knife organization, "Wind Master"!
This is the notorious Class A wanted criminal in the black market, a veteran assassin. He was hit hard by a punch?
Also!
What kind of fist can severely damage a card master in elemental state?
Supernatural power!
Reni's insight made him realize that that punch was definitely not ordinary.
He suddenly realized that he had just been wrong.
It’s so wrong!
It's not that this "outsider" doesn't want to help, but the reason why this guy is watching the show is because he never takes the killers of the Black Knife organization seriously!
Hiss.
Reni couldn't help but gasped when he thought of this: That guy is so strong!
At the same time, he recalled the previous conversation, and then he understood why he always felt that the guy's reaction was almost "stupid".
Looking at it now, it’s not that the other party can’t figure it out, but that he has the ability to control the whole game from beginning to end!
He was also glad that he had not taken anyone away by force just now.
Reni suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this.
Because at this time, he had already matched the person in front of him with an S-class wanted criminal on the wanted order.
Once the identity is recognized, the biggest risk has been eliminated.
At least not the enemy.
However, on the other side, Heidao and others all had a completely different idea: they shouldn't take action.
They also didn’t expect that the fat sheep they originally thought would turn out to be such a ruthless killing god.
When Ji Xun was in Innocence City before, the person who came to trouble him was an assassination team led by a sixth-level card master.
There are only two fifth-level ones in front of us.
The configuration is too different.
It was precisely because the other party didn't know his intelligence that a core output team member was severely damaged by a single blow just now.
If these black knives knew who they were facing at this moment, Ji Xun felt that they would never dare to approach so rashly.
However, it is too late to say this now.
Everything that needs to be observed has been observed. Now that he has taken action, Ji Xun has no intention of dragging his feet and is ready to end the battle immediately.
However, just when he was about to take action, some people seemed not to see the situation clearly.
"Eh?"
Ji Xun said softly and suddenly looked down at his arm.
At this glance, red spots were rapidly appearing on the skin, and then spread and fester at a speed visible to the naked eye, accompanied by a putrid stench.
The burning pain on his arm made him even frown: "Is it a curse? Did you get it when you bought something in the store before?"
If you want to comment The career sequence that card players least want to encounter, card players who are good at curses are definitely ranked in the top three.
However, although Ji Xun had a slight accident, there was not much fluctuation in his eyes.
Instead, he muttered: "Let me just say, there should be someone hiding there."
After looking at it, the curse was of a high level, as if it was borrowed from some relic.
Normally, at the speed at which the curse spreads, a fifth-level card master would not be able to survive for more than a minute, and he would die suddenly on the spot.
However, Ji Xun only took one look, and the red spots on his arms were healed by a green spell.
The curse did not disappear, but the Immortality Curse forcibly restored the injury.
But it can't solve the curse, he can solve the person who cast the curse.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun suddenly kicked his foot into the air and disappeared with a "pop" sound.
Not far away, the face of the "toad" that had just been exposed with murderous intent suddenly changed in a very anthropomorphic way.
It wanted to jump into the water and hide.
But as soon as he kicked off his legs, the fists in his eyes were already as big as sandbags.
“Boom!”
The toad exploded into a ball of blood mist in mid-air.
At the same time, a figure fell out in embarrassment.
Looking closely, it was the black-toothed old woman with tattoos on her face from the black market before.
At this moment, she was looking at the young man whose gas mask was mostly corroded, revealing his true face. She no longer had the same excitement as when she saw the fat sheep before.
In those turbid yet shrewd eyes, there was only endless fear and despair.
