Chapter 1018: Uneasy Routines...
In the year 557 of the Bran New Calendar, in the late winter and early spring, the day when the new king ascended the throne. This day is destined to go down in history, stained with thick black ink, and will be constantly discussed and debated by future generations...
As for the reason, it's simple. Looking at the thousand-year history of the Imperial Temple, has anyone as supreme as the Pope died after being assassinated by an assassin?
I don't think so.
So Tang En's slash was not just as simple as killing someone, but more importantly, he set a terrifying record that was unprecedented and unprecedented!
But obviously,
As the person involved, Tang En did not have this consciousness. After wiping his throat with a knife, he looked at the blank expression on the pope's face in front of him, as well as the turbid pupils that first shrank sharply and then spread instantly... Without hesitation, he quickly Stepping sideways, with a pop, the cold spear on the left chest was detached, and the black dagger in the right hand was swung in the opposite direction, drawing out a cruel arc again, with repeated and precise targets, cutting the neck of the Pope who was stumbling back subconsciously——
A qualified killer will never and should not expect to have more than one assassination opportunity!
It must be done in one go!
Tang En was very aware of the power of the knife he just wiped across his throat. There was no doubt that it was absolutely fatal. But he was still worried. There were too many things that the various gods and gods in the temple were talking about. Although it was unlikely, no one dared to guarantee that the temple would not have miraculous magic like resurrection. Furthermore, with such powerful powers as Woodin and Bamutu, they had all warned Tang En before, telling him not to underestimate the Pope and not to be careless... In this way, Tang En decided to do it completely!
"stop--"
Shouting in fear, the retired Grand Knight Commander finally could no longer maintain his outward calm demeanor when he saw this. Although he didn't understand why the shot just now had hit the vital point. But the other party is still lively and vigorous. Doesn't it seem to be affected at all? But this is no longer the point now. The point is the arc of force of the knife now...
Whoa, the cruel blade light passed by, causing an even crueler splitting sound. A big round head and a large curtain of blood that looked like a free fountain rose into the sky in an instant——
That's right, beheading!
The professional scientific name is head-body separation surgery...
If cutting one's throat is not safe enough, then beheading should be enough. Not to mention that Tang En's beheading blow just now also brought a bit of violent blood into it... Bang! Crash...the big head flying out of the air suddenly exploded in the air. The smelly blood mixed with a bit of white viscous liquid splashed wantonly, instantly covering the faces and bodies of everyone around him.
This time, he should be too dead to die. Even if the gods appeared in this world, there would be nothing they could do...
"scare!"
"don't want--"
"His Holiness the Pope——"
…
It sounds complicated, but in fact it only took the blink of an eye from the moment Tang En burst into action to the time the Pope's head and body were separated.
The change of heart came so suddenly. Except for the retired Grand Knight Commander, no one of the important people present could react in time, and just watched helplessly as the Pope's head exploded into pieces. Then after being showered with stinking blood, he finally regained consciousness in despair. Hissing and roaring,
"Damn it!" "Kill him -" "Come, come quickly! There is an assassin -"
Just like the previous unnecessary warning, despite the fact that everyone around him was shouting with joy and crying, no one actually stepped forward to take action. On the contrary, looking at Tang En, who was holding a bloody dagger in front of him and unabashedly full of murderous aura, all the important figures who cared about their lives couldn't help but back away with fearful expressions.
This is the reason why dogs that bark never bite, and dogs that bite never bark. The spear was like lightning, but the retired Grand Knight Commander's eyes instantly turned red, roared angrily, and pounced on him regardless of his own life.
Tang En's situation instantly became precarious. To be honest, the assassination itself was not the most difficult. What was difficult was how to escape safely.
However, Tang En was prepared for this before taking action. He just turned slightly to let go of this furious shot, and then he reached out and grabbed it seemingly casually.
"Ah——" "Your Highness, be careful! Retreat, retreat quickly——" "Protect Your Highness——"
"Haha...it's too late!"
Amidst the screams of warning, a blood-stained dagger was placed on the pale-faced eldest prince's neck, holding him hostage. Tang En laughed and turned around, leaning against the railing. He did not forget to take the opportunity to crush the crystal scepter on the ground with his foot. After completely removing the restrictions on Xia Wei'an, he immediately scanned the chaotic place and shouted in a cold voice, "Shut up! If you dare to take a step forward, he will die!"
The sound of shouting fell, and the surrounding scene fell silent for an instant. With the bloody killing just now, no one would believe that Tang En's threat was just talk. Moreover, in other words, he even killed the Pope, not to mention the little crown prince who has not yet become the new king...
The situation on the stone road suddenly fell into a brief stalemate. The retired Grand Knight Commander, whose eyes were splitting from his eyes, was also hesitantly summoned by several red archbishops.
At this moment, Tang En had time to take his first breath. He ignored the guard knights who were quickly surrounding him, and the shrill police whistle that suddenly sounded in the distance because Tang En's presence was detected... He lowered his head, glanced at the bleeding hole on his left chest, and took a deep breath. He breathed a few rapid gasps, and the muscles around the wound shook violently and contracted strangely. He just relied on his abnormal body control ability to stop the bleeding slightly.
Yes, that's right, the previous shot did not hit Tang En's heart.
The reason is of course because of the effect of the heaven-defying skill of Killing Feast. Tang En used the Rules Domain at the critical moment, and the space stagnated for a moment, allowing the retired Grand Knight Commander's sure shot to finally penetrate his body by grazing his heart...
And with Tang En's current metamorphosis, which is comparable to that of an alien, as long as he doesn't directly hit a vital point, he doesn't have to worry about losing his combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
Of course, the current situation cannot be solved by strong or weak combat power. After Tang En successfully killed the Pope, he also completely forced himself into a desperate situation.
Now I am afraid that all the clergy on the island know that Tang En is here. I believe that it won't be long before Tang En will face a besieging lineup that is a hundred times more terrifying than the current one, until he is completely strangled!
As for the eldest prince who is being held hostage... Unfortunately, this is the Temple Association. Not the royal court in the capital. So he's not a free-for-all. At most, it can only protect Tang En for a while.
have to say. Tang En played too much this time and even killed the Pope. Of course, it was impossible for the Temple Association to let him leave peacefully. Otherwise, this thousand-year-old signboard would be completely smashed to the ground.
Tang En knew this very well, so he didn't hesitate at all, and decisively planned to call for foreign aid - he reached into his pocket and took it out, and when he took it out, there was a lively little fish in his palm... Okay. This is just an accident. Of course Xiaoyu cannot be a powerful foreign aid...
The corners of his eyes twitched, and Tang En quite speechlessly threw the little fish that was about to settle in his arms into the pond behind him. Then he reached into his arms again, and this time he took out a small package. He untied the outer waterproof tarpaulin with one hand, raised his head, and faced the alert gazes of the surrounding people. Tang En raised the corner of his mouth slightly, raised his hand and threw the contents inside into the air.
Phew...bang!
A bunch of extremely gorgeous red fireworks bloomed enchantingly under the white clouds and blue sky. Eye-catching!
The people outside did not stop Tang En from doing this. After looking away from the fireworks in the sky, their faces remained expressionless. Of course they could see that it was a signal arrow calling for help, but what was the point? Under the current situation, is there anyone in the world who can rescue people from here? ridiculous……
"Tang En! Gudong... you are the assassin Tang En!" For a moment, the eldest prince raised his head with difficulty and stared at the ordinary face so close. His Adam's apple moved suddenly when the dagger was pressed against him, and he reluctantly swallowed. He slurred and cried out.
Tang En glanced and shrugged, his meaning self-evident.
Instantly, the surrounding atmosphere was in uproar. The high-level officials of the temple looked at each other, and then noticed with surprise that this damn assassin looked familiar. Then they immediately thought of something, and their expressions immediately became extremely ugly.
It's actually the guy who made the big talk a few days ago? ! Damn it——he actually succeeded——
It would be a slap in the temple's face to say that Tang En could still assassinate the Pope despite being heavily guarded. So if you first say something like a deliberate reminder, and then succeed in succeeding, you are completely trampling the face of the temple under your feet!
"Don't kill me! You... you can't, can't kill me..." After learning Tang En's identity, the eldest prince's face instantly turned pale. Although he tried his best to maintain his dignity, his body was already trembling involuntarily.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Tang En patted the eldest prince's shoulder in a friendly manner, and comforted him sincerely, "You are my amulet now!"
At this time, "You're leaving today!" The retired Grand Knight Commander's face turned gloomy and terrifying after he reacted. He stepped forward without hesitation, watching Tang En tightly clenching the spear in his hand, word by word. Suddenly the evil spirit overflowed.
"Haha, is that right? Then..." After a pause, Tang En smiled and flicked his wrist casually in front of everyone. The dagger blade gently passed over the eldest prince's neck. The wind roared again, and he struck the throat cleanly. Kill, "Try it..."
His body retreated violently, and like a ghost, he instantly jumped over the railing pond and passed over the heads of the besieging knights.
"Uh...Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Tang En's choice to break out of the encirclement, or to fight to the death, was actually not unexpected by everyone. After all, an ant still cherishes his life, let alone such a master. But what everyone didn't expect was that Tang En would be so straightforward...or a rogue! You must know that just now, he seemed to sincerely make a promise not to kill. However, now, after killing the Pope, he took action to kill the future King again, and he finished the matter calmly...
This guy, he doesn't play by the rules at all!
The retired Grand Knight Commander was not stunned by this. Of course, it might be because he didn't care about the life or death of the eldest prince. However, he failed to pursue him immediately because Tang En pushed the eldest prince's body away before running away. Come over and block his pursuit route...
"Ah - offal, offal, offal -" Holding the body of the eldest prince, he watched helplessly as Tang En disappeared across the pond. The great knight was as straight as a furious beast, mad with hatred, facing the temple guards. Roaring and roaring, "Kill, kill, kill! Catch me and kill without mercy!"
After a pause, he casually threw the body of the eldest prince to the old noble man who rushed towards him crying, and then ran wildly in the direction where Tang En disappeared, roaring again, "Quick! Activate the island defense magic circle, don't let that damn bastard There is a chance to escape! Where is the light magician? Damn it - use detection magic to find his location, and I will kill him with my own hands... huh? "
Before he finished speaking, the retired Grand Knight Commander suddenly seemed to notice something. He paused for a moment and subconsciously turned his head to look at the southern sky. His expression was confused at first, and then changed drastically in an instant.
"This, this, this...this power..."
