Chapter 449 Ji Xun’s heroic voice protects the young master!

Ji Xun had heard from Catalina before that there were relics of the Great Emperor in the Southern Continent.

Because the news first came from the Adventurers Chamber of Commerce, he originally thought it was most likely a misinformation.

After all, there have been countless times in history when some similar ancient relics were touted as relics of the emperor by merchants with ulterior motives, and they were able to be sold as gimmicks;

Or they were imitations with similar functions.

But the real relics of Emperor Lanlingster have almost never appeared among the people.

Even if there is one, it should be in the Mausoleum of Augustus, not anywhere else.

However, when Ji Xun inquired about the news in Thunder Dragon City before, he found that this matter seemed to be true.

The relic that has appeared so far is the set of fifty-two battle [Curse God Cards] belonging to Emperor Lanlingst.

It is said that a [4 of Spades] appeared in the auction catalog of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce Auction House.

However, before the official auction, it was inexplicably removed from the shelves.

It seems that a certain high-ranking noble used his connections in advance and bought it privately.

Maybe it’s another gimmick by the Chamber of Commerce.

However, looking at the flashing dark gold card floating in the palm of Young Master Sack, Ji Xun immediately realized that the news was true.

The relics of the great emperor have finally appeared.

Otherwise,

that guy wouldn't be able to survive until now under the siege of two second-level assassins.

"Crack", "Crack", "Crack".

The lightning flashed and crackled.

When Ji Xun and six others surrounded and killed the first-level assassin who had been cleared and alerted, the battle on the other side did not stop.

Young Master Sark was protected by four guards wearing purple armor, retreating and fighting at the same time.

The other guards have long been turned into corpses, and the remaining four are obviously the best of the best.

The four of them are also preparatory knights accompanying them and have not yet officially advanced.

Their survival depends entirely on the heavy dragon cavalry armor they wear, which is obviously a family heirloom.

Thanks to the fact that the Dragonborn has amazing natural strength, otherwise it would be difficult for ordinary Katu to wear such heavy armor, let alone fight and move.

Every step you take leaves deep footprints on the ground.

The thick armor blocked the sharp daggers of the two assassins, so that they did not die suddenly on the spot.

But being alive is alive, and the bulky equipment also made it difficult for them to reinforce Sark in time.

This young man’s survival depends entirely on himself.

At this moment, Sark has transformed into a half-dragon and half-human state, with sharp vertical pupils, a layer of lavender dragon scales covering his skin, and lightning flashing all over his body.

And on the dark gold card in his hand, a six-pointed star magic circle engraved with various incantations of "thunder", "movement" and "dodge" also appeared.

Every time this card is activated, Sark turns into thunder and flashes dozens of meters away.

He relied on his strange and flexible body skills and the joint attack of two assassins to persist until now.

This kind of near-teleportation ability cannot be overcome even by the assassin's high agility.

Just when Ji Xun and the others killed the first-level assassin, Sark transformed into lightning and teleported twice in a row, narrowly avoiding the killing move.

It was because of seeing this scene that Ji Xun was sure that the dark gold card was a treasure.

He also saw the secret, and pondered in his mind: "The solidified [Thunder Shadow Teleportation], a low-level teleportation secret that is said to be rarer than magical powers, the heritage of the Langdon family is indeed extraordinary." , I guess the assassin did not expect that the proud heir of the Langdon family would imprint an escape spell instead of an attack method."

This is indeed not in line with Sark's flamboyant and conceited character.

He actually felt that this spell might have been engraved by this elder.

However, no matter how rare the spell [Thunder Shadow Flash] is, it is only a low-level spell after all.

What Ji Xun is more concerned about is the outrageous "infinite spell" effect of that dark card!

Normal spell cards are one-time use.

By inscribing mantras on a special carrier in advance, the effect of infusing mantra power can be achieved and it can be released in a short time.

The engraved spell and the card itself are like the gunpowder and projectile body of the bullet.

Once fired, the structure is completely destroyed.

However, the dark gold card in front of him showed no signs of collapse.

Master Nasak used this card to continuously cast [Thunder Shadow], as if his pistol had an unlimited bullet magazine.

This function is exactly the same as the legendary [Curse God Card] of Emperor Lanlingst.

Unlimited use!

It is said that the set of fifty-two magical spell cards can be engraved with any spell, even divine spells.

For a card to be able to cast spells instantly, it not only needs to be engraved with spells, but it also needs to "store energy."

There is an upper limit to the energy that the carrier of the card can withstand, which is also one of the most important indicators to distinguish the grade of a spell card.

Being able to carry divine spells means that the legendary [Curse God Card] has a very high energy storage limit.

It was so high that even Ji Xun could not imagine it at present.

It is said that the spells engraved on the set of [Curse Cards] of the Great Emperor are permanent. As long as the spells are not actively replaced, they will always exist.

Theoretically, as long as there is enough energy in the card, the engraved spell can be used indefinitely.

[Thunder Shadow Instant] is only a first-level spell after all, and the energy unit level it consumes may be one billionth of that of a divine spell.

In other words, it is like using an entire hydropower station to power a light bulb.

The material of the card determines that it will not collapse and has sufficient energy.

Theoretically, the first-level spell in the dark gold card can be used indefinitely.

Of course, this is theory.

Fortunately, Young Master Sark is a thunder dragon, and his body has a strong affinity with the thunder element.

For ordinary humans, if they use this mysterious spell so frequently, they would have been scorched by electricity.

However, Ji Xun estimated that Sak's body would not be able to support such a high-intensity spell for much longer.

Fortunately, he came in time.

Ji Xun took one look at Sak's condition and knew that this guy wouldn't die for the time being.

Instead, he observed the color of the dragon scales on Sak's body, and was slightly surprised in his heart: "But having said that, Sak's thunder dragon bloodline is purer than what is rumored in the outside world. Katu already has it With such a high affinity for the thunder element, could he be a pure-blood dragon?"

Ji Xun had carefully studied the inheritance of the aristocratic class in the southern continent.

Whether it is the Three Kingdoms or other nobles, it is indeed hereditary inheritance.

However, there are many descendants of the Dragonborn, and not everyone is qualified to inherit the title.

So generally speaking, only the strongest are qualified.

For Dragonborn, the purer the dragon blood in the bloodline, the better the talent usually is. Generally speaking, if you don’t fall behind in practice, you will eventually become very strong.

This is also the reason why most of the top powerhouses in the Southern Continent are in the noble class.

Blood purity basically determines inheritance rights.

But now that Ji Xun saw Sak fighting, he realized that the purity of this young man's blood was very, very high.

This is very different from the "mediocre grandson of Duke Langdon" mentioned in the previous information.

“So, this may be the reason why someone wants to pay to kill him?”

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, and already deduced a highly probable possibility: the family paid to kill someone. .

We have seen Catalina's bloody rise to power in the Lionheart family in the Eastern Wasteland before, and the competition among the heirs of this aristocratic centralized system in the Southern Continent is even more intense.

This is nothing surprising.

Ji Xun is not interested in family fighting.

But Young Master Sak cannot die here.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun raised his arms and shouted: "Protect the young master!"

It was fine that they didn't come before, Sack was killed, and they would most likely be demoted as slaves; Now that they have arrived at the battlefield, if they see their young master being killed, even if they survive, they will definitely be liquidated later.

So, we must fight.

And even if they don't shout this voice, the assassins on the opposite side will definitely not sit idly by watching the six people kill their companions, and will definitely clean up these apprentices who are an eyesore.

Ji Xun’s voice made David Gang look at each other with a few more teammates.

Everyone's expressions were inexplicably twitching.

Killing a first-level assassin is already an extreme operation for six people.

They don't have the kind of dragon armor that can block the penetration and cutting of second-level assassins. If they really want to fight, the predictable result will be one sword at a time.

But even though they knew they were bound to die, they had no intention of backing down.

The loyalty contract cannot be broken.

As soon as they gritted their teeth, they already had the consciousness to die.

Even Gale, who had his hand tendon severed and was being treated urgently by Sister Zhuosha, ignored the injury and picked up the dagger with his left hand.

Ji Xun did not deliberately cheat his teammates, the decision he made was also the best choice for them.

A deserter will die.

It’s better to give it a try, there is still a glimmer of hope.

The six people hurriedly chased in the direction of the fierce battle. It was strange to say that the dwarf Gang Duoduo, who usually looked naive, ran like a clumsy brown bear while tilting his head directly towards Ji Xun. : "Brother Su Lun, what should we do?"

During the battle, Ji Xun's performance was not as eye-catching as David's.

But from the beginning of Feilong's attack, his teammates also discovered that this usually taciturn teammate seemed a little different, calm and wise.

Gang Duoduo didn't discover anything special.

Just his intuition told him that this teammate had a "very good brain".

Ji Xun also said bluntly: "Let's not separate, let's contain the assassin with an injured right foot together! Only in this way can we have a chance to survive."

Two steps behind position, it is impossible to win in a fight.

And there is a high probability that a few of the six of them will die.

Including Ji Xun himself.

So it would be nice to be able to contain him and give that Sack some time to breathe.

Of course Ji Xun can see that the guy's infinite teleportation looks very smooth now, but his body is already on the verge of collapse.

As long as one of the assassins can be restrained, it will be much easier for Sark and a few guards to deal with the others.

Just delay.

Ji Xun was sure that this was near the Royal Academy, and it would definitely not be a protracted battle to kill the nobles here.

Whether it is the Royal Academy or the high-level guards of Duke Langdon's family, abnormalities will inevitably be discovered over time.

What we have to do now is to see who is lucky enough to survive until reinforcements arrive.

Ji Xun doesn’t care, he will die if his clone dies.

The only trouble is that the identity I finally created can no longer be used.

But he also has a plan B. Once the clone is dead, the main body will have no worries about taking action. At least he must get the [Curse God Card].

As for the other teammates, the only one Ji Xun was a little worried about was David.

After all, he is the old man’s disciple, and he is considered his junior brother, so he must take care of him no matter what.

But from his own heart, death is something that everyone has to face.

The stronger you are, the more impossible you are to avoid this experience.

Ji Xun felt that this was not necessarily a bad thing for David's martial arts.

Of course, the premise is not to die.

Time is tight and there is no time to arrange any detailed tactics.

And not everyone can keep up with Ji Xun’s ideas.

He simply made the arrangement and spoke very quickly: "Gale, you are sneaking, don't rush up, just walk near that person! Wear more armor, once the enemy is close, even if We must control him even if he is injured. This is our only chance to attack. Zhuosha, run back, at least two hundred meters away from us, and try not to show your head! David, you are the only one among us who can hurt the enemy. You swim away. Look for an opportunity, and you can only take action when the enemy is controlled. Seri and I used control spells. The guy's feet were injured, but he will definitely kill both of us first, so be careful to protect yourself!"

Although the tactics are crude, they are already the most reasonable arrangement at present.

As a card master who wants to take the [Wisdom] path, "Su Lun", this keen observation is not too outrageous.

“Okay!”

“.”

The other five teammates heard Ji Xun's arrangement and nodded without hesitation.

Death has been like a big hand around their necks, making them unable to breathe.

They also realized that this simple tactic concealed an accurate judgment based on extreme rationality.

As soon as they finished speaking, the six people had already caught up with the people fighting in front.

Seeing Ji Xun and the six preparatory knights rushing towards him, Young Master Sak felt happy.

He was surprised and at the same time very emotional that he actually had such a brave guardian knight!

The method used by the six people to kill the assassin just now made Sacco take a look.

Now their bravery has been fully recognized by him.

However, the situation is not so optimistic.

The reserve knight may not be able to stop the second-level assassin for long.

Sark only hopes that the six people can create more breathing time for him.

Without any time to communicate, a flash of light shot into the sky, and six people had forced their way into the battlefield.

The two assassins were already anxious since they hadn't killed their target for so long.

I just watched my accomplice being killed again, and I already felt a manic and violent anger in my heart.

The flash spell illuminated the forest, and several spell cards flew towards one of the lame assassins.

The two assassins were also furious, angry and angry.

Even the four guards wearing heavy armor were only retreating in defense, unable to protect themselves.

How dare these card disciples take the initiative to attack?

Seeking death!

Although the two of them did not take the six card disciples seriously.

But if we don't solve it, they will keep harassing me and it will be annoying.

The lame assassin completely ignored the threats from several people. They only had a few low-level spell cards, which he could resist forcefully.

However, the next second, the cards exploded around him.

[Dyeing Card], [Stink Gland Mark], [Developing Powder].

They are not offensive cards, but marking spells for assassins.

Ji Xun knew that he couldn't deal with the second-level assassin. If he wanted to survive, he had to first confirm the enemy's location.

Several cards exploded, all being ranged attacks. The lame assassin was inevitably stained with various marks because of his own contempt.

But he didn’t take it seriously at all.

Thinking that it would only take a few cuts to solve the problem, no need to dodge.

The speed of the second-level assassin made the card disciples look like a series of shadows, and the scalp of the six people was instantly numb.

In an instant, the black shadow has arrived. Ji Xun's voice just now and his robe made him the first target to kill without any thought.

Of course he had foreseen it, and still shouted that voice, because he was the only one who was sure that he could survive a few moves in front of the second-level assassin.

Although the clone has absolutely no chance of winning, Ji Xun is not unprepared.

His positioning is very clever. Just between him and the assassin branch, there is a fully armed Gang Duoduo.

If that person wants to kill him, he must pass by this dwarf heavily armored warrior.

Gang Duoduo heard the sound of "colliding" from nowhere. Even though his eyes only caught a series of afterimages, he instinctively charged out.

The lame assassin frowned as he saw that the dwarf's heavy armor was blocking his path.

Although he was not injured, it was like stumbling over a stone and staggering when he hit it.

The lame assassin looked at it and sneered in his heart. His super agility allowed him to easily avoid Gang Duoduo who was blocking the way, and he also cut it with a dagger.

The skin must have been cut, but he ignored it and attacked Ji Xun again.

However, what he never expected was that just by dodging and changing the route, he bumped into a card.

The card exploded and turned into three skulls.

【Injustice Soul Technique】?

The assassin recognized this necromancy spell.

He is a physical assassin and is not good at dispelling grievances. This spell does no harm but is very troublesome.

Once marked by this spell, you may be tracked if you want to escape after completing the task.

At this moment, the lame assassin had an illusion that something was wrong.

But I only feel that I am an illusion.

It’s just a few carders, they can be killed easily.

However, when he avoided the wronged soul again and rushed to Ji Xun, he found that he was missing?

Instead, the ground was already a pool of soft quicksand.

The assassin jumped instinctively and avoided the quicksand pit.

He looked at the slowly sinking position in the center of the sand pit, and the corners of his eyes twitched suddenly, and he suddenly realized where the person had gone.

I was blocked just now, giving the target time to use the spell.

That's right.

Ji Xun used [Quicksand Technique].

He sank himself into the ground.

You are a great assassin, but you can’t chase me underground to kill me, right?

If you really want to go to quicksand to kill one of my apprentices, then well, several other teammates will also have a chance.

What the crispy assassin fears most is control. Seeing this, the lame assassin is really helpless.

In any other place, such a hateful card disciple would have to be caught and killed no matter how deep he was.

But now, he worries too much.

Ji Xun sank himself with his [Quicksand Technique].

This operation not only left the assassin helpless, but also stunned his teammates.

Seri and Gale were stunned.

Originally, when they saw the enemy heading towards Ji Xun, they all thought that he would definitely die. However, what kind of operation was this?

It’s not very powerful, it’s just an ordinary [Quicksand Technique], which most legal apprentices can do.

But how did this guy think of it?

I trapped myself with quicksand. If I were to fight, I would actually be in a dead end.

However, this kind of "death for death" method actually survived?

But reality didn’t give them time to think too much.

Although the lizard mage Seri is not as quick-thinking as Ji Xun, he has the super wisdom of the lizard family and can react in an instant.

When the assassin chooses the target to assassinate, his deeds have been exposed, and the moment he stops on the sand pit is a flaw.

Seri held two blue cards with both hands and slammed them on the ground, shouting: "Spell·Beast Binding Vine Cage!"

In an instant, the ground within a hundred meters radius was rolling and churning, as if some earth dragon was about to emerge.

The assassin looked at the vines entangled under his feet and frowned.

Not a big threat, but very annoying!

He chopped off the vines with one stroke and jumped up easily.

Then I looked at the vines all over the ground. In just two breaths, they grew into a large thick vine.

The vines were like an iron cage, instantly imprisoning a space with a radius of 100 meters including Seri.

Seri also just got inspiration from Ji Xun.

He knew that he could not avoid being attacked and killed by the enemy, so he simply imprisoned himself.

It is true that he cannot move, but if the enemy wants to come in, he can still delay it for a while.

This is a special spell of their lizard mage clan, and its power is not inferior to the first-order vine spell. If you risk your life, you can at least be trapped for a while.

From a practical point of view, this is much better than quicksand.

The assassin looked at the lizard mage in the rattan cage with a gloomy expression, feeling increasingly irritated.

The two legal systems are his top priority targets, but both of them have played this trick. Damn, they are looking for death!

Killing is still easy.

However, if he really wanted to kill him, it would be more troublesome than the others.

And he didn't kill the target himself. In addition, the pressure to assassinate Young Master Sack's teammates would be great.

The longer the task is delayed, the worse it will be for them.

The assassin became more and more agitated.

He snorted coldly, turned around and rushed towards Gang Duoduo!

The priest ran too far, and the black-skinned boy was already hiding in the canopy

This dwarf was hit by a knife just now and survived. Now he is the only best target for harvesting.

"Whoosh!"

The assassin is here in an instant.

Gang Duoduo was not dead just now. In addition to the inner armor made by his father, more importantly, the dwarves had rough skin and thick flesh, like natural leather armor.

The knife did not hurt any vital parts.

But Gang Duoduo doesn't know the quicksand or vine technique.

He is a reckless man in close combat.

Now seeing the enemy attacking again, Gang Duoduo frowned and could only block with his shield.

However, in the eyes of second-level assassins, this kind of blocking is full of flaws.

However, what people never expected was that just when the assassin rushed over and wanted to kill the dwarf with a knife.

Gang Duoduo suddenly found that his feet sank, and the ground he was standing on instantly turned into quicksand.

Gang Duoduo's body was heavy and he was heavily armored, so he fell in all of a sudden.

However, this center of gravity was unstable, causing the dagger that stabbed his neck to tilt a little. Blood spurted out, but most of him had sunk into the quicksand.

The assassin also noticed the abnormality immediately, and cursed angrily: "Damn quicksand! Quicksand again!"

At this moment, he still didn't notice anything was wrong, he just felt that It seems that everything goes wrong with the assassination.

He was tricked by a few card disciples?

The quicksand technique is of course Ji Xun’s work.

He had deduced this last strike, so he made preparations in advance.

Those marks allow him to accurately know the enemy's location.

It’s not all about saving teammates, but about creating more chances for yourself to survive.

As long as Gang Duoduo is alive, this injured human shield can attract the enemy's attention a few more times.

Otherwise, once his teammates die, he will soon be targeted again.

Furthermore, this is also the best opportunity he can see to hurt the enemy.

While Gang Duoduo fell into the sand pit, Ji Xun, who was completely unable to see the outside world in the quicksand, muttered in the darkness: "I hope I can seize this opportunity."
< br>In the deduction, Gang Duoduo fell into the sand pit. As long as he spared his life, he had a chance to control the assassin who had no place to stay and could only use his body to leave.

However, the opportunity only lasts for a moment. Ji Xun can do it himself, but that doesn't mean others can.

Things are developing for the better.

Gang Duoduo fell into the quicksand. After a moment of panic, his thoughts became clear.

The assassin looked at the quicksand and instinctively kicked towards Gang Duoduo's heavy body, trying to escape from the danger.

However, at this moment, Gang Duoduo's face turned upside down, and he completely ignored his falling body and grabbed the foot that was on his chest.

"Seeking death!"

The assassin looked cold.

I thought he was stabbed in the neck, but the dwarf left him alone, so there was no threat.

You dare to take action without thinking?

The ankle was caught, and the assassin's dagger was slashed with his backhand, cutting through the gap between Gang Duoduo's arm and wrist guard, and accurately cutting off his tendons.

The pressure on the ankle instantly relaxed.

However, before the assassin could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly frowned and suddenly felt a tiger-like killing intent coming from his back!

“Huh?”

The assassin also instantly understood that it was the hidden black-skinned assassin.

Looking back from the corner of my eye, I saw a figure walking through the air from the tree crown.

David cleverly used the speed of free fall to travel through the air at high speeds.

There was absolutely no room to turn around.

Look at this posture, this punch has no intention of how to escape after the punch.

However, even though the man came through the air very fast, he could completely avoid it in the eyes of a second-level assassin.

The lame assassin just wanted to pull away, but found that his body was stagnant again.

The hand that was clearly cut off by himself actually burst out with a force as strong as an iron pincer.

At this moment, the assassin finally showed panic for the first time.

And in his eyes, he saw a bearded face with a mouth full of blood and a silly grin.

The body structure of the dwarves is different from that of humans. The knife just now could easily pick off a section of the human tendon, but it did not completely break his!

Gang Duoduo smiled miserably, he seized this only opportunity!

"Damn it!"

The lame assassin cursed secretly in his heart, but it was too late to get away.

He waved the dagger to scare the black-skinned young man above him, but unexpectedly, the boy ignored the cold light of the dagger and attacked with his fist.

“Boom!”

David’s fist hit the assassin’s right clavicle firmly.

As Ji Xun said, he is the only one in the team who can hurt the second-level assassin.

He had observed carefully just now. This guy was lame and his behavior was restricted. His evasive movements would inevitably involve using his uninjured foot.

So the position of his right shoulder was fixed, and David's punch hit the collarbone exactly.

The power of [Erji Collapse] poured into the assassin's shoulder, and only a slight "click" sound of bone cracking was heard.

Although the power of the body protection spell offset most of the force of the punch, this punch really hurt!

"Brush~"

Blood shot out.

David was stabbed in the chest, but in his eyes, there was only the arrogance of a winner.

I actually injured a second-level person?

This sense of accomplishment made him feel no fear of death at all, and instead made his blood boil.

The horror of being on the verge of death made his mind go blank.

This punch injured the enemy's collarbone, and the hand holding the dagger almost fell off.

Gang Duoduo gritted his teeth and held on to the enemy's feet. This kind of fixed target would never have such a good chance.

David was completely unaware that he had used the void energy that he had never been able to do before, changing direction in mid-air, and once again blasted towards the now wide-open chest.

Throw out several punches in a very short period of time.

"Boom!"

The assassin groaned, suppressing the restless blood in his heart, and there was only shock in his eyes: "How did this guy do it?"

Changing directions in the air is not a skill that only second-level qigong masters can master. How did this guy do it?

Being caught off guard, the assassin's body was full of energy and blood.

However, this injury is still not fatal to him.

At this moment, David felt that his combat intuition had never been clearer!

Knowing that he had no chance, he decisively retreated with the force of his punch, stepped into the air again, retreated violently, and opened a large distance.

Then he thought of what "Su Lun" had said before, ran away without looking back, and hid in the canopy again.

Without a chance, he must not take action rashly!

The lame assassin saw that his dagger failed again, and roared angrily. Regardless of the injury on his feet, he stamped on Gang Duoduo's body, directly stepping the dwarf warrior into the depths of the quicksand. That iron-like hand finally let go.

The assassin jumped over lightly, turned over and stood on the edge of the sand pit. He looked at the battlefield again, his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip.

I didn’t expect so many accidents to happen to the few apprentices who I thought could be easily killed.

Are you still injured?

The most important thing is that the problem has not been solved on his own side, and the other partner can't hold back Sark and the others at all.

The battlefield has escaped far away!

That is beyond the boundary!

Seeing this, the lame assassin's eyes were filled with chills, but he hesitated.

Want to continue killing these inconsequential minions?

Or catch up and complete the goal?

Whether it is a vine cage or a guy in quicksand, it will take more time to kill.

If this continues, things will be out of their control.

And even if you don’t kill him, it will not be easy for the guy in this cage or quicksand to get out.

The assassin suddenly thought of this and forcibly suppressed the murderous intention that wanted to crush Ji Xun and others. He turned around and decisively pursued towards the main battlefield.

The mission is the most important!

Looking at the enemy leaving, Sister Zhuosha and David dared to run over.

Underground, Ji Xun vaguely heard someone shouting "Brother Su Lun", and he knew that he had survived.

He was not in a hurry anymore.

Because the main body has arrived through the teleportation array.

"Su Lun" in the quicksand didn't see what happened.

But Ji Xun knew it very well.

Once the main body comes, there will be no surprises in this matter.
