Chapter Fourteen: The Way of the Assassin
Time goes back a few minutes.
After briefly treating the injury of sniper William Schmidt, everyone in the Indian team hurriedly evacuated from the back door of the hotel, but Immorton took his time and turned his legs below the knees into one.
The whole person was suspended in the mid-air in the swirling clouds of sand and dust. He was holding the Black Book of the Dead in his hand and muttering something in his mouth as he slowly landed at the end of the Indian team.
Although their position was discovered by the snipers of the Central Continent Team and they were forced to make an emergency transfer, under the command of Professor Arthur Cavendish, the Indian Team's evacuation was also quite orderly: their formation was not chaotic at all, and they were always moving.
With the mental power user Xue Nai protected in the formation, the mental shielding was not relaxed even a little bit. And their retreat route was also in the blind spot of vision the whole time, but what they didn't know was...
An assassin lurking in the shadows has quietly set his sights on their lives.
(Same as the conclusion from the previous test, unless the mental power user activates the first level of the gene lock, and deliberately compresses the mental power, and only scans an area with a radius of ten meters, otherwise, I will not be able to find me who has escaped into the shadow.)
At this time, Zhao Yingkong was in a rather strange state: hiding in the shadows, she did not turn into a ball of shadows, but entered a weird "shadow space"... In this "space",
Although it's not like she can't see her fingers, anything more than one meter away from her is...
It was as dark as ink. At the same time, she could breathe, walk, and even adjust the equipment normally. However, the air here was very "heavy", as if she was in water, and she could feel a lot of air in every move she made.
The resistance slowed her movements by several percent.
However, it seems that it is not accurate to say that this is a "space"... Whether it is a huge demiplane or a space fragment the size of a living room, they all have a common characteristic - isolating the inside and outside. But this "shadow space" not only
It will be penetrated by magical and legendary attacks, and it cannot hinder the transmission of information... Although Zhao Yingkong can't directly see the outside world inside, she can still pass through it relying on the first-level gene lock and the assassin's intuition.
The enemy's "breath" can roughly determine their location.
Of course, the accuracy of this kind of judgment is limited, especially when the target is moving... The art of "assassination" has extremely strict requirements for accuracy: the moment Zhao Yingkong "rose" from the shadows, even in the
The blind spots of the Indian team's field of vision will also be discovered by mental scanning in an instant. This means that she has no time to observe carefully, otherwise, this only chance to take action will be fleeting... Before she "surfaces", she will
You must lock your target!
The reason why Zhao Yingkong hesitated to take action and just followed the Yinzhou team patiently was precisely because of this... As an assassin, she would not gamble her luck recklessly, but would calmly find the enemy's loopholes.
, pursuing that fatal blow!
(The Indian team stopped moving. One of them went to the top floor of this bungalow, while the other seven stayed in place, including the important team member who was closely protected and highly suspected of being a psychic, and the one who stood on the ground.
Not far away, the cold aura that is far away from the others...should be Immorton.)
(This residence has good lighting, and there are only a few shadows in the corners of the hall. This means that I cannot sneak directly to them. I can only "float" to the edge of the hall, and then cross the 20-meter-long barrier.
distance to complete the assassination.)
(So, my goal is...)
Standing breathlessly in the "shadow space", Zhao Yingkong pushed her intuition to the limit, capturing every "aura" in the outside world. At the same time, in her mind, she also relied on the experience of the assassin and the genetic lock.
The power was repeatedly deduced to select the most suitable target, but at this moment... the aura on the second floor suddenly experienced abnormal and violent fluctuations!
(Aura fluctuations of this frequency should bear a huge load. Are they launching some kind of long-range attack?)
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yingkong clenched the dagger in her hand... She had to make a decision!
----------
The next moment, a graceful figure jumped out from the shadows. She was wearing a suit with a pure black luster. Her appearance resembled Marvel's Black Widow, DC's Catwoman, or Lilith's Demon... Ahem,
The tights, although tightly wrapped in high-tech materials from the neck to the toes, did not reveal even half of the skin, but the exaggerated curves were highlighted vividly.
Then, she touched the ground with her toes, and in just one step, she increased her speed to the limit. Holding a dagger wrapped with light blue flames, she rushed straight towards the mental force protected by everyone in the Yinzhou team.
Zhe Xuenai!
"Enemy attack!"
Everyone in the Indian team is not stupid. Among them, the two people who reacted the fastest reacted almost as soon as Zhao Yingkong appeared: the dark giant Imani's eyes were blank, and the muscles all over his body moved in a disgusting way.
The way squirmed and swelled, his feet heavy
With a heavy kick, a ferocious crack appeared on the concrete floor, blocking it directly between Zhao Yingkong and Xu Nai; and Xu Nai, the spiritual powerhouse, also subconsciously activated the first level of the gene lock, and moved his hand towards his arms.
He looked around and seemed to be planning to take out something.
The next moment, Manavia, who had just woken up from the coma, also reacted. She raised her hands flat and let a looming protective layer cover herself... This made her physical fitness mediocre, and it took nearly half a second to react.
Professor Arthur Cavendish came over and almost turned his nose with anger: Among the three of them, the only one who was not stupid was Imani, whose brain was almost filled with muscles!?
Needless to say, Manavia was greedy for life and fearful of death. The target of the assassin from the Central Continent Team was clearly the psychic Xuenai, not her who was a few meters away, but she used the shield on herself... Didn't she know?
If a valuable psychic was killed because of her mistake, would the captain definitely kill her even if she survived this horror movie?
As for Xuenai, she didn't know whether she had seen through Manavia or didn't trust her shield enough. She actually planned to take out the Sun Golden Sutra in her arms and activate the light magic self-defense on it... Didn't she know that the Sun Golden Sutra
Will Immorton inevitably fall out with them on the spot? In the absence of the captain, he and the strong men of the Central Continent team will attack together, which may be enough to kill everyone present!
"Manavia, use TM's shield on Schnei!"
"Xue Nai, don't f*cking take out the Sun Golden Scripture. Are you looking for death?"
The "professor", who is usually elegant and easy-going and has the demeanor of an old-school British gentleman, angrily cursed for the first time during the spiritual link... This really cannot be blamed on him, only because these two pig teammates are too stupid.
Fortunately, they were not hopelessly stupid. After being yelled at by the professor, they managed to make up for it and made the right move in time.
The next second, Zhao Yingkong had already rushed in front of Imani. The latter laughed ferociously, opened his arms with tangled muscles, and rushed towards the petite figure... His arms were even more slender than Zhao Yingkong's waist.
, it is more than twice as wide. If it is caught firmly by him, the whole body's organs will be ruptured and the bones will be broken.
However, Zhao Yingkong taught him a lesson: Even if they are both at the first level of gene lock, their realms... are completely different!
I saw her appear nearly two meters in the air with a strange movement. Then, with a light and ballet-like movement, she lightly tapped her right foot on Imani's casserole-sized fist, and used the force to do it.
He did a beautiful front flip and passed directly over his head. Without losing speed, he continued to rush towards Xuenai, who was a few meters away.
(According to zero-point intelligence, the shield of the Indian team almost blocked the bullets of the Gauss sniper rifle, and my full blow with the Fang of Hellfire was far less powerful than the Gauss sniper rifle, so...)
The thumb, index finger and middle finger of Zhao Yingkong's left hand turned into claws. Those nails, which had been tempered for thousands of times, were like gold and iron, but still crystal clear and better than peach blossoms. They reflected a beautiful but dangerous cold light and clawed at Xuenai's right eye... Rao was turning on the gene.
Locking the first level, even though she was surrounded by a solid shield, Xuenai was still shocked by this determined killing intent, as if she saw the claw piercing her eyeballs and smashing her brain.
"Help me!"
The slightly cumbersome Imani was turning around, but Zhao Yingkong's claw had already reached Xuenai's eyes, and then was blocked by an invisible, colorless but extremely strong "air wall"... Who knew that she didn't have the slightest bit of trouble?
Feeling discouraged, a Ye Zi-like smile rarely appeared on her usually cold and pretty face, the kind of cunning smile that shows success in a scheme!
It turned out that the claw on her left hand seemed to be filled with awe-inspiring murderous intent, but it was not used at all... The moment it touched the protective shield, it immediately changed into a claw and used the protective shield as a support.
The man jumped two meters. Then he used the protective shield as a strong "stepping stone" and soared directly into the sky. With a wave of the Hellfire Fang in his hand, he forcibly broke through the ceiling of the bungalow and jumped to the top of the building.
Her target, from the very beginning... was not the spiritual powerhouse Xuenai!
What appeared in front of Zhao Yingkong was the bearded middle-aged Yorif, whose right arm had transformed into a huge missile launcher and was preparing to launch the next cruise missile. The latter's expression changed drastically and he was about to throw away his cumbersome right arm.
When Duanwei escaped, a strange blue flame had already penetrated his eyebrows.
Not only that, this cruel little girl also twisted the Netherfire Fang that she thrust in 360 degrees...
