Chapter 521: Section 308: Successful Assassination
The alarm suddenly went off, and the mysterious person’s heart skipped a beat.
“I’ve been discovered!”
“How did they find ?”
Doubts flashed through his mind in an instant.
“Was it the cabin where I set up the alchemy bomb after the theft that was discovered?”
He couldn’t possibly replicate the chanisms and magic traps at the cabin’s door, which was a clear giveaway.
“Or did the Red Vine Mage realize she had been poisoned?”
Although the mysterious person had applied lethal poison to his blow darts, there was still so ti before the target would succumb to the poison.
This ti was sothing the mysterious person had fought for himself, but it also gave the enemy a chance.
Never underestimate a mage’s thods, even if she is just a low-level mage.
Then, in the next mont, the mysterious person completely cleared his mind of clutter.
Being discovered… didn’t matter!
The highest ranked fighters of the Dragon Lion rcenary Corps were only at the Silver Level. Moreover, the squad leader Long Fu had already left the dock area a long ti ago.
From the previous brave duel between nshi and Ban Langen, it was evident that nshi’s strength was just so-so.
The only person who warranted a bit of caution from the mysterious person was the Vice Captain, Lion Flag.
“I am a Golden Level fighter!” murderous intent shone in the mysterious person’s eyes.
Golden Fighting Skill—Instant Flash.
The mysterious person disappeared on the spot.
In the next mont, he suddenly appeared behind Old Zhong.
Everything happened too quickly!
Old Zhong was still glaring furiously at the mysterious person, only to lose sight of him in the blink of an eye.
Golden Fighting Skill—Cutting Song.
The mysterious person extended his dagger and lightly drew it across the Mage Old Zhong’s neck.
The dazzling blade light flashed and vanished in an instant.
The sharp dagger, used in combination with a Golden Fighting Skill, decapitated Old Zhong’s head cleanly.
In the mysterious person’s perception, Old Zhong’s fresh blood spurted from his neck, sending the head flying before rolling onto the floor.
The fountain-like blood quickly subsided.
The mysterious person slowly stood up and gave a light kick with the tip of his foot.
And just like that, Old Zhong’s headless body collapsed onto the floor.
Blood quickly stained the cabin’s floorboards red.
Even in death, Old Zhong’s eyes were wide open in anger.
Clearly, he died with his eyes wide open, unresigned.
The mysterious person exhaled a breath of murky air and coldly glanced at Old Zhong’s severed body.
He was a fighter of the extraordinary Golden Level, while Old Zhong was rely at the Black Iron Level.
The gap between them was more than just one level; what was key was that the mysterious person had completely taken the initiative.
Old Zhong was killed instantly without any chance to fight back, and the mysterious person was not surprised by the outco.
But in the next mont, he heard the shouts and footsteps of a large group of people rushing towards the location.
“Everyone, follow and charge.”
“Quick, quick, quick!”
The Dwarf nshi took the lead, constantly bellowing command.
Boom!
nshi barged in shoulder first, smashing through the cabin door.
He was the first to enter the cabin, followed by rcenaries swarming in.
The next mont, nshi’s eyes bulged and his pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks.
He saw a bundle of alchemy bombs stuck to the cabin wall.
The fuse of the bomb was burning to its end.
“Get away, no, get down!” nshi bellowed, warning the rcenaries behind him.
So of the rcenaries, upon seeing the alchemy bomb, retreated, while others frantically got down.
Those retreating collided with others storming into the cabin, plunging the scene into chaos.
“It’s too late!”
nshi’s face twisted fiercely, boldly executing Defensive Fighting Skills, charging towards the alchemy bomb.
Bang!
The next mont, the bomb exploded.
The flas and the loud explosion erupted, but most of the blast was absorbed by nshi.
nshi suffered a great deal of damage, his body swaying, spitting out blood, with ringing in his ears and head spinning.
The mysterious person struck quietly from the side of the cabin door!
He had hidden on the side of the door, his body completely invisible.
nshi didn’t see him. After barging into the cabin, his imdiate attention was caught by the alchemy bomb, thus ignoring the mysterious person.
The situation was too urgent.
He had no ti to think more about it, instinctively executing Defensive Fighting Skills to withstand the blast of the bomb.
He protected the majority of the rcenaries behind him, but he also shielded the mysterious person.
Everything was in the mysterious person’s calculations.
The mysterious person drew his dagger and aid for nshi’s lower back.
Golden Fighting Skill—Kidney Strike.
nshi was stabbed, a kidney pierced by the dagger instantly.
The powerful force of the Golden Level fighting energy penetrated directly from behind his waist.
nshi grunted with pain, finally reacting to the assault.
He didn’t try to dodge but reached back to grab instead.
He clenched the mysterious person’s arm!
The mysterious person struggled to break free only to find nshi gripping his arm tightly with both hands, rendering his attempts unsuccessful.
The mysterious person sneered coldly, undisturbed.
The next mont, he executed the Combat Skill—Slippery Body.
The mysterious person’s entire body beca oily and slippery, as if sared with grease.
The harder nshi tried, the less he could restrain the mysterious person.
With a light tug, the mysterious person broke free from nshi’s grasp.
He reached for his dagger again, prepared to slit nshi’s throat with a lethal strike.
But in the next instant, Zong Ge charged at him.
The mysterious person felt a strong gust of wind bearing down on his back without even looking.
He chose not to proceed with the assassination and temporarily spared nshi.
From his sleeve, a small spherical alchemy item slid out.
He tossed the spherical alchemy item onto the floor with a flick of his hand.
With a muffled boom, the item exploded into thick smoke.
The dense, white fog quickly filled the entire cabin, the pungent odor forcing the rcenaries to shut their eyes and mouths.
Zong Ge also held his breath for a mont.
After disrupting all the enemies’ vision, the mysterious person vanished once more.
Zong Ge’s weapon didn’t hit its mark, but it did save nshi.
The thick smoke rolled outwards from a hole in the ship’s side.
The figure of the mysterious person erged from the smoke, shooting out like an arrow.
Boom!
A cannon fired.
The bomb hit the mysterious person with precision.
It turned out that Chi Lai had not followed the others when the alarm sounded.
Knowing his strengths, his excellent military training told him how to coordinate with his comrades.
He imdiately manned a cannon and waited in full battle array.
As soon as the suspicious figure leapt into midair, he fired the cannon.
Chi Lai was a professional gunner with specialized combat skills. Not only could he enhance the power of the bombs, but he could also improve his accuracy.
After being hit by the cannon, the suspicious figure plunged into the sea.
“Follow !”
The Water Pigman, Gang Lie, roared and was the first to dive in.
The other Water Pign quickly followed suit.
The Water Pign naturally possess good water nature and have always been an excellent source of troops for naval combat.
“Gang Lie, move back!” The Water Pigman leader, lagging yet quicker, dragged Gang Lie behind himself.
The Water Pigman leader was of Black Iron Level, much stronger than Gang Lie.
His outward weakness was rely a strategy for survival.
He was also a responsible leader.
Knowing the enemy was mysterious and powerful, he’d rather put himself on the front line than risk his people.
Zong Ge ran to the breach made by the alchemy bomb, only to see the waves churning on the surface of the sea.
The Water Pign were engaging the mysterious person in a fierce battle.
Zong Ge’s nostrils flared with heavy breaths, his expression grave, anxiety mounting in his heart.
He knew that the newly-ford Backwater Army stood no chance against the mysterious person.
Their adversary was manifestly of Golden Level.
Sending the Backwater Army to fight was tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
However, just as Zong Ge was about to order the Water Pign to retreat, he saw the Water Pigman leader excitedly raise a body out of the water.
Gang Lie also popped his head out of the water, shouting excitedly, “We did it! We killed him!”
Zong Ge’s face showed no sign of joy.
He shouted urgently, “That’s not the real body, stay on guard!”
The next mont, the Water Pigman leader was shocked to see the body in his hands gradually revert to an alchemy puppet.
The mysterious person had released an alchemy puppet disguised as himself while everyone’s vision was obscured by the thick fog.
It was a classic move, a feint.
His true self had already disappeared without trace.
Zong Ge, weapon in hand, was on full alert, his face ashen.
He would rather face this mysterious enemy in battle.
Worse yet, their foe had slipped away unnoticed.
Zong Ge had no idea what the mysterious person’s next move or purpose could be.
All he could do was to remain on the defensive.
But what good was such a defense?
If the enemy had already managed to stealthily infiltrate the Dragon Lion rcenary Corps’ flagship and attempted assassinations on the mages, Red Vine and Old Zhong, it was a clear testant to his infiltration abilities.
With the current defensive asures of the Dragon Lion rcenary Corps, they truly couldn’t guard against such a master.
The Dragon Lion rcenary Corps had fallen completely into a passive state.
Under Zi Di’s control, two Investigator alchemy puppets rushed into the storage hold.
“Damn it!” Zi Di’s face fell.
He discovered that many of the items they had just acquired were missing.
A large quantity of alchemy material had vanished.
And most importantly, all three pieces of Golden equipnt were gone.
Only the Array Map plates were left.
What was more frightening was that several bundles of alchemy bombs remained in the cabin.
Without ti to think further, Zi Di imdiately commanded the Investigator alchemy puppets to grab the bombs and fly out of the ship as fast as possible.
The Investigator puppets used all their speed, but they couldn’t outpace the countdown.
“It’s too late.”
“Everyone, attention, it’s going to explode!”
Using his communication device, Zi Di urgently inford Zong Ge and the other survivors.
Just as the alchemy bombs were about to explode, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the mage tower on the dock.
The light hit the alchemy bombs precisely.
In an instant, the bombs were disintegrated, reduced to a powder of various materials.
“Tch.” The mysterious person, having returned to the dock and hidden in the shadows, witnessed the alchemical bombs being defused.
The next mont, an alarm sounded from the mage tower.
Panic-stricken cries erupted from the people nearby.
A large number of city guards rapidly assembled and rushed toward the docks.
The dock area quickly beca abuzz with activity.
anwhile, the mysterious person, with a harpoon in one hand and a longbow in the other, gracefully and leisurely left the dock through the shadows.
