Chapter 449: Ji Xun's Heroic Shout, Protect the Young Master!

Ji Xun had heard from Catalina that the relics of the Great Emperor had appeared in the South Continent.

Because the news first came from the Adventurer's Chamber of Commerce, he originally thought that it was probably a misunderstanding.

After all, there have been countless times in history when some similar ancient relics were hyped up as the relics of the Great Emperor by merchants with ulterior motives, which could sell enough gimmicks;

Or they were imitations with similar functions.

But the real relics of Emperor Lanlingster have almost never appeared among the people.

Even if there are, they should be in the Mausoleum of Augustus, not elsewhere.

However, when Ji Xun inquired about the news in Thunder Dragon City before, he found that this matter seemed to be true.

The relics that have appeared so far are the set of 52 combat [Curse God Cards] of Emperor Lanlingster.

It is said that a [4 of Spades] appeared in the auction catalog of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce Auction House.

However, it was inexplicably removed from the shelves before the official auction.

It seems that a powerful nobleman used his connections in advance and bought it privately.

Or it may be another gimmick of the Chamber of Commerce.

However, looking at the dark gold card with flashing lightning in the palm of Young Master Sak, Ji Xun immediately realized that the news was true.

It was really the relic of the Great Emperor that appeared in the world.

Otherwise,

that guy would not have survived until now under the siege of two second-level assassins.

"Crackle", "Crackle", "Crackle".

Lightning flashed and crackled.

When Ji Xun and six others surrounded and killed the first-level assassin who was on guard, the battle on the other side did not stop.

Young Master Sak fought while retreating under the protection of four guards wearing purple armor.

The other guards had long since turned into corpses, and the remaining four were obviously the elite among the elite.

The four were also reserve knights who accompanied their studies and had not yet officially advanced.

They were able to survive entirely because of the heavy dragon cavalry armor on their bodies, which was obviously a family heirloom.

It was also thanks to the amazing natural strength of the Dragonborn, otherwise ordinary card players wearing such heavy armor would have difficulty moving, let alone fighting.

Every step they took would leave deep footprints on the ground.

The heavy armor blocked the sharp daggers of the two assassins, so that he did not die on the spot.

But he was alive, and the heavy equipment made it difficult for them to reinforce Sak in time.

The young master was alive by himself.

At this moment, Sak had transformed into a half-dragon and half-human state, with sharp vertical pupils, a layer of lavender dragon scales on his skin, and lightning flashing all over his body.

In his hand, the dark gold card also appeared with a hexagram magic circle engraved with various spells of "thunder", "move", and "dodge".

Every time this card was activated, Sak turned into thunder and flashed dozens of meters away.

He relied on his strange and flexible body skills to persist until now under the joint attack of the two assassins.

This almost teleportation displacement ability is useless even for the assassin's high agility.

Just when Ji Xun and the other six killed the first-level assassin, Sak turned into lightning and teleported twice in succession, narrowly avoiding the killing move.

It was because of this scene that Ji Xun was sure that the dark gold card was a treasure.

He also saw the doorway and pondered in his heart: "The solidified [Thunder Shadow Instant Body], the low-level instant body secret that is said to be more scarce than supernatural powers, the foundation of the Landon family is indeed extraordinary. Tsk tsk, the assassin probably didn't expect that the proud descendants of the Landon family would actually engrave an escape spell instead of an attack method."

This is indeed inconsistent with Sack's arrogant and conceited character.

He thought that this spell might have been engraved by this young elder.

However, no matter how rare the [Thunder Shadow Instant Body] spell is, it is only a low-level spell after all.

What Ji Xun cares more about is the outrageous "infinite spell" effect of the dark card!

Normal spell cards are one-time.

By engraving the spell on a special carrier in advance, the effect of infusing the spell power can be released in a short time.

The engraved spell and the card itself are like the gunpowder and projectile of a bullet.

Once fired, the structure is completely destroyed.

However, the dark gold card in front of him showed no signs of disintegration.

Young Master Sak used this card to continuously cast [Thunder Shadow Instant], as if a pistol had an infinite magazine of bullets.

This function is exactly the same as the legendary [Curse God Card] of Emperor Lanlingster.

Unlimited use!

It is said that the set of 52 magical spell cards can be engraved with any spell, even divine spells.

For a card to be able to cast spells instantly, it is not only necessary to engrave the spell, but also to "store energy".

There is an upper limit to the energy that the carrier of the card can withstand, which is also one of the most important indicators to distinguish the grade of spell cards.

Being able to carry divine spells means that the legendary [Curse God Card] itself has an extremely high upper limit of energy storage.

It is so high that Ji Xun cannot imagine it at present.

And the spells engraved on the legendary emperor's [Curse God Card] are permanent. As long as the spell is not actively replaced, it will always exist.

Theoretically, as long as there is enough energy in the card, the engraved spell can be used infinitely.

After all, [Thunder Shadow Instant] is only a first-level spell, and the energy unit consumed may be one billionth of that of divine spells.

In other words, it is like using an entire hydroelectric power station to power a light bulb.

The material of the card determines that it will not collapse, and the energy is sufficient.

Theoretically, the first-level spell in that dark gold card can be used infinitely.

Of course, this is theory.

It is also fortunate that Young Master Sack is a descendant of the Thunder Dragon, and his body has a strong affinity with the Thunder Element.

If it were an ordinary human, he would have been burned by electricity if he used this profound spell at such a high frequency.

However, Ji Xun estimated that Sack's body would not be able to withstand such a high-intensity spell for long.

Fortunately, he arrived in time.

Ji Xun took a look at Sack's condition and knew that this guy would not die for the time being.

Instead, he observed the color of the dragon scales on Sack's body and was slightly surprised: "But then again, Sack's Thunder Dragon bloodline is purer than what is circulated in the outside world. Ka Tu already has such a high affinity for the Thunder Element, is he a pure-blooded Dragonborn?"

Ji Xun had carefully studied the inheritance of the noble class in the southern continent before.

Whether it is the three major kingdoms or other nobles, they are indeed inherited by blood.

However, there are many descendants of the Dragonborn, and not everyone is qualified to inherit the title.

So generally speaking, only the strongest are qualified.

For the Dragonborn, the purer the dragon blood in the bloodline, the better the talent. Generally, if you don't fall behind in practice, you will eventually be very strong.

This is also the reason why most of the top masters in the southern continent are in the aristocracy.

Blood purity basically determines the right of inheritance.

And now that Ji Xun saw Sack fighting, he realized that the blood purity of this young master was very, very high.

This is very different from the previous intelligence that said "Duke Landon's mediocre grandson".

"So, this may also be the reason why someone wants to hire someone to kill him?"

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, and he had already deduced a possibility with a high probability: hiring someone to kill someone within the family.

I have seen the bloody process of Katarina's rise to power in the Lionheart family in the East Wilderness before, and the competition between the heirs of the aristocratic centralized system in the southern continent is even more intense.

This is nothing strange.

Ji Xun is not interested in any family infighting.

But this young master Sack cannot die here.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun raised his arm and shouted: "Protect the young master!"

It would have been fine if they hadn't come before. If Sack was killed, they would most likely be reduced to slaves; and now they are on the battlefield. If they watch their young master being killed, even if they survive, they will definitely be liquidated later.

So, they must fight.

And even if they didn't shout this, the assassins on the opposite side would definitely not sit idly by when they saw six people killing their companions. They would definitely clean up these annoying apprentices.

When Ji Xun shouted this, David Gangduoduo and several teammates looked at each other.

Everyone's expression twitched inexplicably.

Killing a first-level assassin is already the limit of the six people.

They don't have the dragon warrior armor that can block the penetration and cutting of the second-level assassin. If they really fight, the foreseeable result must be one knife per one.

But even if they know that they will die, they don't mean to retreat.

The loyalty contract cannot be violated.

As soon as they gritted their teeth, they were ready to die.

Even though Gale's tendons were cut and he was being treated urgently by Sister Zhuo Sha, he didn't care about his injuries and picked up the dagger with his left hand.

Ji Xun didn't mean to pit his teammates, and the decision he made was the best choice for them.

Deserters must die.

It's better to fight, there is still a glimmer of hope.

The six people hurriedly chased in the direction of the fierce battle. It's strange to say that the dwarf Gang Duoduo, who usually looks silly, ran like a clumsy brown bear and turned his head directly to Ji Xun: "Brother Su Lun, what should we do?"

Although Ji Xun's performance in the battle was not as eye-catching as David.

But from the beginning of the attack on Feilong, the teammates also found that this teammate who usually spoke little seemed a little different, calm and wise.

Gang Duoduo didn't find anything special.

It was just his intuition that told him that this teammate "has a good brain."

Ji Xun didn't hesitate and said bluntly: "Let's not separate, let's work together to contain the assassin with the injured right foot! Only in this way can we have a chance to survive."

There is no way to win the fight with a difference of two major ranks.

And there is a high probability that several of the six of them will die.

Including Ji Xun himself.

So it's good to be able to contain him and give that Sack some time to breathe.

Of course, Ji Xun can see that the guy now looks very smooth in infinite teleportation, but his body has long been on the verge of collapse.

As long as one of the assassins can be contained, it will be much easier for Sack and several guards to deal with the others.

Just delay time.

Ji Xun is sure that this is near the Royal Academy, and it will definitely not be a protracted war to kill the nobles here.

Whether it is the Royal Academy or the high-level guards of Duke Landon's family, they will inevitably find something unusual after a long time.

What we have to do now is to see who is lucky enough to survive until the reinforcements arrive.

Ji Xun doesn't care, if the clone dies, it dies.

The only trouble is that the identity that has been created with great difficulty cannot be used.

But he also has a plan B. Once the clone dies, the main body will have no scruples to act. At least the [Curse God Card] must be obtained.

As for the other teammates, Ji Xun is only a little worried about David.

After all, he is the old man's disciple and his junior brother, so he must take care of him.

But from his heart, death is something everyone has to face.

The stronger the person, the more impossible it is to avoid this experience.

Ji Xun thinks that this may not be a bad thing for David's martial arts.

Of course, the premise is that he doesn't die.

Time is tight, and there is no time to arrange any tactics in detail.

And not everyone can follow Ji Xun's thinking.

He made a simple arrangement and said very quickly: "Gail, you sneak, don't rush up, just wander around that person! Wear more armor, once the enemy gets close, control him even if you are injured, this is our only chance to attack. Zhuo Sha, you run back, at least 200 meters away from us, try not to show your head! David, you are the only one among us who can hurt the enemy, you wander around and look for opportunities, only when the enemy is controlled, you can take action. Seri and I use control spells, that guy's foot is injured, but he will definitely kill the two of us first, pay attention to protect yourself!"

Although the tactics are simple, it is the most reasonable arrangement at present.

As "Su Lun", who is going to take the [Wisdom] path card master, this keen observation is not too outrageous.

"Good!"

"Good!"

"."

The other five teammates nodded without hesitation after hearing Ji Xun's arrangement.

Death is like a big hand pinching their necks, making them unable to breathe.

They also realized that this crude tactic was based on an extremely rational and accurate judgment.

As soon as the voice fell, the six people had already caught up with the people fighting in front.

Young Master Sack was delighted when he saw Ji Xun and the six reserve knights rushing towards him.

He was surprised and also felt that he actually had such a brave guardian knight!

The way the six people killed the assassin just now had already made Sack look up to them.

Now their bravery has been fully recognized by him.

However, the situation is not so optimistic.

The reserve knights may not be able to stop the second-level assassin for long.

Sack only hoped that the six people could give him more breathing time.

There was no time for any communication at all. A flash of magic soared into the sky, and the six people had already forced their way into the battlefield.

The two assassins had not killed the target for so long, and they were already anxious.

Just watching his accomplices being killed, he had already suppressed a manic anger in his heart.

The flash of magic illuminated the forest, and several spell cards had already flown towards one of the lame assassins.

The two assassins were also furious, angry and furious.

Even the four heavily armored guards were only defending themselves in retreat.

These card disciples actually dared to attack?

They were courting death!

Although the two did not take the six card disciples seriously.

If they were not dealt with, they would keep harassing them, which was annoying.

The lame assassin ignored the threats of several people. They were just a few low-level spell cards, which he could completely resist.

However, the next second, the cards exploded around him.

[Dyeing Card], [Scent Gland Mark], [Developing Powder].

None of them were offensive cards, but marking spells against assassins.

Ji Xun knew that he could not deal with the second-level assassin. If he wanted to survive, he had to confirm the enemy's position first.

Several cards exploded, all of which were range attacks. Because of his contempt, the lame assassin was inevitably stained with various marks.

But he did not take it seriously at all.

Thinking that it would only take a few slashes to solve the problem, there was no need to dodge.

The speed of the second-level assassin, which made the card players look like a series of phantoms, instantly made the six people's scalps numb.

In a flash, the black shadow arrived.

Ji Xun's shout just now, and the robe, made him the first target to be killed without thinking.

Of course, he had foreseen it, but he still shouted that shout, because only he was sure that he could hold out for a few moves against the second-level assassin.

Although the clone had no chance of winning, Ji Xun was not unprepared.

His position was very clever, and there was a fully armed Gang Duoduo between him and the assassin branch.

If that person wanted to kill him, he would have to pass by this dwarf heavy-armored warrior.

Gang Duoduo heard the sound of "collision" coming from nowhere, and even though his eyes only caught a string of afterimages, he instinctively charged out.

The lame assassin frowned as he saw the collision position of the dwarf heavy-armored warrior just blocking his own path of advance.

Although he was not injured, it was like being tripped by a stone, and he would stumble if he hit it.

The lame assassin sneered in his heart. His super high agility allowed him to easily dodge Gang Duoduo who was blocking his way, and he also cut him off with a dagger.

His skin must have been cut, but he ignored it and attacked Ji Xun again.

However, what he never expected was that this slight dodge and change of route made him hit a card head-on.

The card exploded and turned into three skulls.

[Ghost Spell]?

The assassin recognized this necromancy spell.

He was a physical assassin and was not good at dispelling ghosts. This spell did not cause much damage, but it was very troublesome.

Once marked by this spell, he might be tracked when he wanted to escape after completing the mission.

At this moment, the lame assassin had an illusion that something was wrong.

But he only thought it was an illusion.

They were just a few card disciples, and they could be killed at will.

However, when he avoided the ghost again and rushed to Ji Xun, he found that the person was gone?

Instead, there was a pool of soft quicksand on the ground.

The assassin jumped instinctively and avoided the quicksand pit.

He looked at the center of the sand pit that was still slowly sinking, and his eyes twitched suddenly, and he suddenly realized where the person had gone.

He was blocked just now, giving the target time to use the spell.

That's right.

Ji Xun used [Quicksand Spell].

He sank himself into the ground.

You are a powerful assassin, but you can't chase me into the ground to kill me, right?

If you really want to kill one of my apprentices and go into the quicksand, then well, the other teammates will have a chance too.

What fragile assassins fear most is control. Seeing this, the lame assassin was really helpless.

If it were somewhere else, this kind of hateful card apprentice would have to be caught and killed even if he sank deeper.

But now, he has too many concerns.

Ji Xun sank himself with the [Quicksand Technique].

This operation not only made the assassin helpless, but also shocked his teammates.

Seli, Gale and others were stunned.

Originally, they saw the enemy heading towards Ji Xun, and they all thought he was dead, but... What kind of operation is this?

It's not that powerful, it's just an ordinary [Quicksand Technique], most magic apprentices can do it.

But how did this guy think of it?

Trapping himself with quicksand, if he really fights, he is actually dead.

However, this "death for death" method actually allowed him to survive?

But reality did not give them time to think.

Although the lizard mage Seli was not as quick-witted as Ji Xun, the super high wisdom in the lizard bloodline also reacted in an instant.

The assassin's choice of assassination target had already exposed his actions, and the moment he stopped on the sand pit was a flaw.

Seli slammed the two blue cards in his hands on the ground and shouted: "Spell·Beast Binding Vine Cage!"

In an instant, the ground within a radius of 100 meters rolled and tumbled, as if some earth dragon was about to drill out.

The assassin frowned as he looked at the vines entangled under his feet.

Not a big threat, but very annoying!

He cut off the vines with a knife and jumped up easily.

Then he looked at the vines all over the ground, which grew into a large and thick vine in just two breaths.

The vines were like an iron cage, instantly imprisoning the space within a radius of 100 meters, including Seli.

Seli also just got inspiration from Ji Xun.

He knew that he couldn't avoid the enemy's attack, so he simply imprisoned himself.

He really couldn't move, but if the enemy wanted to come in, he could still delay for a moment.

This is a special spell of their lizard mage clan, and its power is not inferior to the first-level vine spell. He risked his life, at least he could trap it for a moment.

In terms of practicality, this is much better than the quicksand spell.

The assassin looked at the lizard mage in the vine cage with a gloomy face, and his heart became more and more irritated.

The two magic systems were his top priority targets, but both of them played this trick, damn... looking for death!

Killing, it's still easy.

But if he really wanted to kill, it would be more troublesome than the others.

And if he didn't kill the target, the pressure on the teammates who assassinated Young Master Sack would be great.

The longer the time was delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for them if they couldn't complete the task.

The assassin became more and more irritated.

He snorted coldly, turned around and rushed towards Gang Duoduo!

The priest ran too far, and the black-skinned boy had already hidden in the tree canopy

The dwarf was hit by a knife just now, but he didn't die. Now he is the best target for harvesting.

"Swoosh!"

The assassin arrived in an instant.

Gang Duoduo didn't die just now, in addition to the inner armor made by his father, more importantly, the dwarves have thick skin and flesh, like natural leather armor.

The knife didn't hurt the vitals.

But Gang Duoduo doesn't know any quicksand magic, vine magic.

He is just a melee reckless man.

Now watching the enemy attack again, Gang Duoduo's face was black, and he could only block with a shield.

However, this kind of blocking was full of flaws in the eyes of the second-level assassin.

However, what people never expected was that just when the assassin rushed over and wanted to kill the dwarf with a knife.

Gang Duoduo suddenly found that his feet sank, and the ground he was standing on instantly turned into quicksand.

Gang Duoduo's body was heavy and he was heavily armed, so he sank into it all of a sudden.

However, it happened that this unstable center of gravity caused the dagger that stabbed his neck to deviate a little, and blood spurted out, but most of him had already sunk into the quicksand.

The assassin also discovered the abnormality at the first time, and angrily cursed in his heart: "Damn quicksand! Quicksand again!"

At this moment, he still didn't notice anything wrong, but just felt that his assassination seemed to be going wrong everywhere.

Was he fooled by a few card players?

The quicksand technique was of course Ji Xun's handiwork.

He deduced this last-hit, so he made preparations in advance.

Those marks allowed him to know the enemy's position accurately.

It was not all for saving teammates, but to create more opportunities for himself to survive.

Only if Gang Duoduo was alive, this injured meat shield could attract the enemy's attention more times.

Otherwise, once his teammates died, he would soon be targeted again.

Moreover, this was also the best opportunity he could see to hurt the enemy.

When Gang Duoduo fell into the sand pit, Ji Xun, who was in the quicksand and could not see the outside world at all, muttered in the darkness: "I hope I can seize this opportunity."

In the deduction, Gang Duoduo fell into the sand pit. As long as he did not care about his life, he would have a chance to control the assassin who had no place to land and could only use his body to leave.

However, the opportunity was only for a moment. Ji Xun could do it himself, but it did not mean that others could do it.

Things were moving in a good direction.

Gang Duoduo fell into the quicksand. After a moment of panic, his thoughts became clear instead.

The assassin looked at the quicksand and instinctively kicked at Gang Duoduo's heavy body, trying to escape from the danger.

However, at this moment, Gang Duoduo's face turned black, and he completely ignored his falling body and grabbed the foot that stepped on his chest.

"Looking for death!"

The assassin's face turned cold.

I thought that since he was stabbed in the neck, the dwarf would not care about him and there was no threat.

I didn't expect him to dare to attack?

The ankle was caught, and the assassin's dagger slashed past, cutting through the gap between Gang Duoduo's arm wrist guards, accurately cutting his tendons.

The force on the ankle was instantly relieved.

However, before the assassin had time to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly frowned and suddenly felt a tiger-like killing intent attacking from behind!

"Huh?"

The assassin also instantly realized that it was the hidden black-skinned assassin.

Looking back, a figure was stepping into the air from the tree canopy.

David cleverly took advantage of the speed of free fall and walked in the air at a fast speed.

There was no room for him to turn around.

Looking at this posture, he didn't plan to escape after this punch.

However, although the man was walking in the air at a fast speed, he could be avoided in the eyes of the second-level assassin.

The lame assassin was about to withdraw, but found that his body stagnated again.

The hand that was obviously cut off by himself actually burst out with a huge force like a clamp.

At this moment, the assassin finally showed panic for the first time.

And in his eyes, he saw a big bearded face with a mouth full of blood and a silly grin.

The body structure of the dwarves is different from that of humans. The knife just now can easily cut a human tendon, but it didn't completely cut his!

Gang Duoduo smiled miserably, he seized this only opportunity!

"Damn it!"

The lame assassin cursed in his heart, but it was too late to withdraw.

He waved the dagger to make the dark-skinned young man above him afraid, but he didn't expect that boy to ignore the cold light of the dagger and punched him.

"Bang!"

David's fist hit the assassin's right collarbone firmly.

As Ji Xun said, he was the only one in the team who could hurt a second-level assassin.

He had observed carefully just now that this guy was lame and his movements were restricted. He would definitely use the uninjured foot to exert force when dodging.

So the position of the right shoulder was fixed, and David's punch hit the collarbone.

The force of [Second Extreme Collapse] was poured into the assassin's shoulder, and only a slight bone fracture sound was heard.

Although the protective spell power offset most of the punch, this punch really hurt!

"Swish~"

Blood spurted out.

David's chest was cut, but in his eyes, there was only the arrogance of the winner.

He actually hurt a second-level assassin?

This sense of achievement made him completely unable to feel the fear of death, but his blood boiled.

The terror of the death line made his mind go blank.

This punch injured the enemy's collarbone, and the hand holding the dagger almost slipped out of his hand.

Gang Duoduo still gritted his teeth and held the enemy's feet tightly. There would be no such good opportunity for such a fixed target.

David did not realize that he had used the air-stepping Qi that he could never do before. He stepped on the air and changed direction in mid-air, and blasted towards the chest that was now wide open again.

In a very short time, he threw several punches.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The assassin groaned, suppressed the restless blood in his heart, and there was only shock in his eyes: "How did this guy do it?"

Stepping on the air and changing direction, this is not a skill that can be mastered by a second-level Qigong master. How did this guy do it?

Being caught off guard, the assassin's blood and qi were in chaos.

However, this injury was still not fatal to him.

David felt that his fighting instinct was clearer than ever before!

He knew he had no chance, so he used the force of his punch to retreat, stepped into the air again, and retreated violently, leaving a long distance.

Then he thought of what "Su Lun" said before, and fled without looking back, hiding in the tree canopy again.

Without a chance, he must not act rashly!

The lame assassin watched his dagger miss again, snorted angrily, and regardless of the injury on his foot, he stomped on Gang Duoduo's body, and directly stepped the dwarf warrior into the depths of the quicksand. The iron-like hand finally got rid of it.

The assassin jumped lightly, turned over and stood on the edge of the sand pit, and then looked at the battlefield, his face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out.

I thought I could easily kill a few apprentices, but I didn't expect so many accidents.

I was injured?

The most important thing is that I didn't solve the problem here, and the other partner couldn't hold back the young master Sack and his men.

The battlefield has already fled far away!

That is the range outside the barrier!

Seeing this, the lame assassin's eyes were full of coldness, but he hesitated again.

Should he continue to kill these insignificant minions?

Or chase them to complete the goal?

Whether it is the vine cage or the guy in the quicksand, it will take more time to kill them.

If they delay any longer, things will be out of their control.

And even if he doesn't kill them, it will not be easy for the guys in the cage and the quicksand to get out.

The assassin suddenly thought of this, and forcibly suppressed the murderous intent that wanted to crush Ji Xun and others to ashes, and turned around and decisively chased after the main battlefield.

The mission is the most important!

And watching the enemy leave, Sister Zhuosha and David dared to run over.

Underground, Ji Xun vaguely heard someone shouting "Brother Su Lun", and he knew that he survived.

He was not in a hurry.

Because the main body had arrived through the teleportation array.

"Su Lun" in the quicksand did not see what happened.

But Ji Xun knew it very well.

Once the main body arrived, there would be no surprises.
