The server was beside Lord Nine Brown, placing the tray on the table, and lifting the lid.
Suddenly, without warning, sothing unexpected happened!
The server’s body was covered with dark curse seals, and with a flash, a black dagger magically appeared in his hand out of nowhere.
He took advantage of the mont when the view was blocked by the act of removing the tray lid, and lightning-fast, he stabbed towards Lord Nine Brown who was close at hand!
Upon sensing the sudden surge of murderous intent, Leonard Churchill’s pupils constricted sharply, and he gasped in his mind, “A formidable assassin!”
But by the ti he noticed, the assassin’s knife was already aid at Lord Nine Brown’s throat.
The attack ca so quickly that before the image in his eyes could fully transmit into a signal in his brain, the pitch-black tip of the knife had already pierced the skin.
The throat is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body, with many unprotected blood vessels and nerves.
Even if the blow couldn’t kill instantly, the black aura swirling around the dagger suggested a potent poison.
The timing the assassin chose to strike was incredibly clever, catching one offguard.
Lord Nine Brown was using his fork to put a piece of at in his mouth, his view obscured.
There was no ti left to dodge at this distance.
It seed like a bloody scene was imminent.
However, a bizarre scene unfolded.
The sharp blade of the dagger went for the fatal spot just below Lord Nine Brown’s forehead.
But there was no sound of flesh and blood giving way.
Instead, there was a ‘clang’ sound!
It was like a sharp object had struck a copper bell.
Upon a closer look, Lord Nine Brown’s neck skin was startlingly bestowed with a tal luster, like a part of his flesh had transford into tal.
Leonard only then ca to his senses, but was greatly taken aback.
The dagger in the assassin’s hand contained a Demonslaying Keyword, but it couldn’t break through the defense?
Even stranger, at the mont the skin turned coppery, a terrifying Bull-headed Demon God’s Phantom appeared behind Lord Nine Brown.
Watching this, Leonard’s eyes sharpened, “The Demon God Jude Skydevil to which [DemonMark-Heart 2] points!”
Being able to manifest the phantom image of the Demon God ant the quality of the Demon Mark had to be at least legendary.
There was no ti to think further.
Only when the dagger stabbed his throat did Lord Nine Brown slightly raise his eyebrows.
The assassin also changed his expression drastically upon seeing this: this guy is tough!
He knew very well he had no chance for a second shot.
Before the assassin could pull out his knife and flee, Lord Nine Brown’s left hand shot out like lightning, and his fingers, which turned an ancient bronze color in an instant, imitated a sword and precisely caught the dagger between them.
Then he swiftly delivered a punch to the assassin’s abdon.
His fist seed to tear the air, and a fist print imdiately sank into the assassin’s abdon even before making contact.
Before the assassin could retreat half a step, his eyes bulged with blood vessels.
He imdiately fell to the ground and fainted.
The assassination attempt was quick, and its end was just as speedy.
In the blink of an eye, the assassin was already down.
Lord Nine Brown was still chewing the at in his mouth.
Sophia Jones seed to be accustod to what she saw, barely giving it an extra glance.
Seven Brown frowned slightly, grumbling, “Here we go again.”
Lord Nine Brown had a kind amicable expression on his face that never changed.
It seed for the gang mbers, assassination attempts were all in a day’s work.
Leonard remained silent, but in his heart, he already had an accurate understanding of the power of the top-tier expert in Sinless City.
The seemingly harmless old fatty had a ruthless…strength.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the assassin was at least a Third Tier, and his execution was impeccable.
The fact was, he was taken out in one move.
While it was within Leonard’s expectation that Lord Nine Brown was formidable, upon seeing his skin shimring and the tallic lusters fading, Leonard thought of sothing else: “This defensive technique…feels a bit like the ‘Supre Tyrant Body’.”
He knew about this when he inquired about Lord Nine Brown from the Information rchant previously.
But witnessing it himself was a different matter.
They were both about having invincible flesh.
But there was a slight difference.
The Red Baron that Leonard had seen in the Alternate Dinsion had high dual defense of the physical body and magic, signifying strength from within to outside.
However, the skin of Lord Nine Brown turned tallic, from outside to within.
While the two took different pathways, their effects felt eerily similar, as though they shared the sa origin.
Leonard’s realm was too low to fully discern it.
But the quality of such a skill was definitely high.
Leonard seed to have thought of sothing, “Or perhaps, this is another fragnt of the Tyrant Body sche?”
Before he could think further, Lord Nine Brown chuckled, “I’m sorry you had to see that.”
He seed unfazed by the assassination attempt, only expressing helplessness, “There are always so unintelligent guys who think that if they kill , they’ll be able to control Sinless City.”
Leonard nodded in response, refraining from getting involved in such delicacies.
Although he was rather curious about Lord Nine Brown’s secret skill, he didn’t want to ask about it at this juncture.
He had just received a significant opportunity from him, and pushing any further would be overstepping his boundaries.
Besides, it wouldn’t be appropriate to ask about defensive techniques after an assassination attempt. Wasn’t that the sa as asking about his weaknesses?
Before long, soone ca to drag away the unconscious assassin.
The dining atmosphere wasn’t affected in the slightest.
Lord Nine Brown initially just wanted to et the person who had saved his daughter. Now that he had seen Leonard, he found him acceptable and didn’t intend to stay long.
They had already discussed the main topics.
Lord Nine Brown stood up and said, “Mr. Leonard, I have so business to attend to in the gang, so I won’t accompany you. Later, Rita will chat with you. You young people should interact more.”
Leonard returned the courtesy politely, “You may go ahead.”
