Chapter 185 Hidden Temptation (3k4)
——Black Fang!
With just a moment of gaze, Luo Xiu confirmed the identity of the intruder.
That was [Ku Tu], a transcendent of the triple destiny assassin sect. Before he broke into the room, he completely concealed his aura, which made Luo Xiu not aware of it for a moment.
——Shua! The deep dark light formed a vertical line and pierced Luo Xiu's heart. The twisted, ominous black dagger in the assassin's hand was also wrapped in dense mist-like strands at the same time.
In an instant, the dagger had pierced Luo Xiu's chest.
Seeing that he was about to succeed, the Black Fang assassin who carried out the assassination couldn't help but reveal a sinister sneer on his face. However, just when he thought the assassination was successful, the next bloody scene began to appear in his mind.
--clang! A sharp, heart-wrenching sound reached the assassin's ears.
He did feel like he had penetrated and broken something, but it was not the flesh and blood body of the target in front of him.
--clang! At the next moment, the twisted dagger in the assassin's hand was completely deflected by the force of the counterattack. He felt a stinging sensation in the hands holding the dagger, as if there were sharp thorns.
The sneer on the assassin's face, as if the conspiracy had succeeded, disappeared, replaced by deep suspicion and panic.
Failed! The assassination failed! This was the only thought that came to the assassin's mind, and he quickly changed direction and wanted to rush out of the window as soon as possible.
However, the priest he was about to assassinate had an arm firmly thrown towards him.
Before the assassin wanted to escape, Luo Xiu's hand had already grabbed his right arm and held it tightly like an iron hoop.
Then, Luo Xiu's fingertips suddenly exploded with huge force, crushing the flesh and blood of the assassin's upper arm and clamping his arm bones.
"——Uh-huh, uh-huh!"
Severe pain suddenly surged up, almost causing the black-toothed assassin to faint on the spot. At the same time, greater fear emerged in his mind:
"The intelligence... the intelligence clearly said that the target was only the priest... the priest! "
"How is it possible for a priest to have such great power!!!"
His arm was tightly clamped, preventing the assassin from escaping. However, the severe pain did not make him faint on the spot, but it made his thoughts suddenly clear.
The Black Tooth Assassin gritted his teeth, and he immediately stabbed back the dagger he was holding tightly in his other hand. However, the stabbing was not the original target priest, but his own half-disabled arm!
Escape with a broken arm! This was the only way the assassin could think of to survive.
However, Luo Xiu saw through his plan, and before the assassin took his next step, he completed the prayer of "The Temple of Prisoner of Evil".
——Shua! Thin threads overflowing with golden light immediately bound the assassin's feet tightly, and the evil holy spear also penetrated from the ground at the same time, nailing the assassin firmly in place.
After that, Luo Xiu dodged back, retreated to the corner of the room, and completed preparations for another skill at the same time.
——"Eye into the Abyss"!
After taking the target's complete figure into his field of vision, a deep purple stream of light flickered in and out of Luo Xiu's eyes.
Luo Xiu's surging spirituality immediately enveloped the assassin, and an unparalleled sense of pressure also covered his body.
And when the "Eye into the Abyss" was activated, the assassin suddenly felt a strong fear - a fear that was unforgettable, soul-shaking, and made him want to kneel down.
Immediately afterwards, the black-toothed assassin realized that his body no longer obeyed his orders and could no longer take any actions. His spirituality was also blocked by an unknown force and he could no longer use any extraordinary means.
Then, the assassin felt a cold, bloody blade pressed against his throat.
"Black fang...heh, black fang."
When the opponent was completely subdued, Luo Xiu's "Moon-Cutting Scythe" was pressed against his neck at the same time, firmly controlling his life and death in his hands.
The reason for controlling the other party in such a hidden and almost silent way was because Luo Xiu didn't want to make any more noise in the tavern. Moreover, he also has some questions that he wants to get answers from.
"You... who else besides you?"
This is the question Luo Xiu wants to know the answer to most urgently at present.
Because, before this Black Tooth Assassin appeared, Luo Xiu's own "Silver Dial Compass" had no reaction to the approaching enemy!
This can only mean one thing - compared to the previous time, the actions of the Black Fang Assassins have become much more cautious this time, and the enemy who actually holds the "Silver Dial Compass" did not personally participate in this operation. During the assassination operation!
"Hehe...hehe..."
Under the control of Black Fang, a strange and sinister sneer suddenly came out from under his cloak, and he said intermittently in a low voice:
"Sure enough...Sure enough, Lord Koros...it is right for us to be cautious...we are just testing your pawns...death...death is not a pity..."
Controlled by the "Eye of the Abyss" and the "Evil Prisoner's Temple" at the same time, the assassin's almost frozen vocal cords struggled to make a sound:
"But... our death... can... make 'Pishou'... Hehe... 'Pishou' understand the danger of you, he will watch you from... a more hidden place... "
"..."
"Executioner" Koros, it turned out that he sent the "Hunter"...
Luo Xiu thought about it, and he quickly understood the reason why Black Fang became cautious in this operation.
No wonder I didn't feel any unusual movement on the "Silver Dial Compass". In the eyes of the enemy, the threat level to myself has obviously risen to the level of the real "Fourth Level of Destiny", so they will dispatch the same " The "Hitshou" of the "Fourth Destiny" carried out the assassination mission on himself... Luo Xiu was thinking about it, but he still maintained calmness and composure on the outside, and said to the Black Fang Assassin in front of him:
"...Well, thank you for telling me this."
Luo Xiu smiled and said, "But there is one thing you are wrong about."
"Your leader, the 'Hunter'... don't wait for him to come to me, I will find him soon."
"What...what...?" The Black Fang Assassin was a little stunned, and he blurted out a question.
However, he did not hear the answer to this question.
The scarlet scythe pressed against the assassin's neck suddenly swung down in the next moment. The assassin who broke into the room felt his eyes spinning. As his consciousness quickly fell into silence, he could no longer hear any sounds.
After killing the Black Fang, Luo Xiu glanced at Intis who was hiding in the corner and had already taken out the "Black Thorn Blood Whip" and "Phantom Dagger", ready to find an angle to enter the battle at any time.
There was also a look of surprise on her face, but it was not the surprise about the assassination, but the surprise about her "Lord" - she could not even see clearly how the "Lord" subdued the enemy. The enemy has lost the ability to fight. Ignoring Intis's surprise, Luo Xiu immediately walked to the door of the room, opened the door, and walked out of the tavern.
…
Wolfhound Tavern, outskirts.
As soon as Luo Xiu and Intis walked out of the tavern, they smelled a strong smell of blood.
It came from the three corpses in the courtyard of the tavern. They were also wearing pitch black cloaks, but there was no longer the black mist lingering around them and blocking detection.
They were also the attacking Black Fangs, but now they were turned into cold corpses.
Next to these three corpses, stood two burly old men.
Among them, an old man holding a giant ax is the original "Knight of the Throne" Isaac; the other is dual-wielding broad swords with broad spines. Panel detection shows that he is also a "Knight of the Throne" , whose name is Blueyère.
It was the one who lost money when playing chess with Isaac... Luo Xiu recalled that he took steps at the same time and walked to Isaac and Blueyere.
"Humph, it's you, you're here."
Seeing Luo Xiu coming, Isaac said "greeting" with a stern expression, which was regarded as a greeting.
"The group of insects came again, this time there were four of them. Blueyere and I killed three of them, and another one sneaked into the tavern during the chaos."
"..."
"That one was killed by me." Luo Xiu nodded and said.
"..."
"You? You killed?"
Next to Isaac, a look of surprise flashed across the face of "Knight of the Throne" Blueyere.
But soon, the surprise subsided, because Isaac explained to him: "This is nothing to make a fuss about, Blueyere, he is an active Holy Judge from the Holy Court Church."
"Oh...it's the Holy Judge." Bluyere nodded, indicating that he understood.
"In this case, you should be the Holy Inquisitor? Or the priest... However, this is not important... Do you have any clue about the successive attacks of this group of black fangs?" Blueyere asked.
A clue? They are just here for me... Luo Xiu thought to himself, he shook his head, spread his hands and said:
"Sorry, no."
"..."
"That's it, then forget it, Holy Judge."
Bluyere didn't care about Luo Xiu's negative answer, but just reminded: "Be careful, maybe they are planning something secretly. Brother Isaac, I'll go to the Department of Justice to find those little guys. The bastards will send someone to deal with it, and you will have to take care of these corpses first."
"Hmph, go quickly." Isaac said in a deep voice, "Come back and continue when you are done. Don't forget, the game of chess just now is not over yet."
"..."
Bluyere didn't respond anything, just shrugged to Luo Xiu, like a silent complaint.
Then, Blueyere strode out of the tavern, and his figure soon disappeared at the end of the street.
After Blueyere left, Isaac returned to the tavern.
Soon after, he moved a small bench out, placed the bench next to the three corpses, and sat down boldly.
"Thank you."
Isaac suddenly said to Luo Xiu:
"Back and forth, you got rid of two mice for me... I should repay you with something."
After thinking about it, Isaac suddenly said solemnly, "I will refund half of your room fee back to you."
"..."
"Thank you for your generosity." Luo Xiu thought for a while and responded to this standard answer with a smile.
Then, Isaac's face turned in front of him, no longer staring at Luo Xiu. Luo Xiu and Intis also walked out of the tavern courtyard immediately, and their figures disappeared at the end of the street soon after.
At this special juncture, Isaac, as the original "Knight of the Throne", understood what a Holy Judge would do.
If it were a regular guest, Isaac would have told him not to leave the tavern, but he didn't.
And when Luo Xiu took Intis around the corner of the street, he took out his "Silver Dial Compass" from his bracelet and began to pay attention to the movements on it.
Sure enough, just as he had guessed, there was a spiritual mercury needle attached to the compass, which was rotating steadily in a certain direction.
The enemy's real holder of the "Silver Dial Compass" - that is, the "Hunter" - should have been watching the entire battle from some position.
Later, after all the Black Tooth "cannon fodder" he sent died, the "monster head" left and prepared to evacuate the site.
That was the "Black Fang" who was killed by him. The meaning of "temptation" in his mouth...
Luo Xiu thought to himself, he quickly weaved the prototype of his next plan, and at the same time headed towards the set destination in the distance.
