Chapter 198: Suicide
The moment Patilina opened her eyes, David sensed that something was wrong. For the girl looked at her with no horror in her eyes, but rather a mocking look in her eyes that made David feel as if he were a foolish prey who was eager to rush into the beast's open jaws. But now that David has no way out, the dagger he is holding tightly has come to Patilina, and as long as he leans forward, he can completely end the girl's life!
But sometimes, there's just a fine line between heaven and hell.
David didn't know what this sudden sense of crisis meant, but as an assassin who moved between life and death, he clearly trusted his instincts more. It's too late to dodge at this moment, so the only thing he can do is to fight to the death with all his might!
Thinking of this, David no longer hesitated, the surging energy in his body burned instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he saw that the shadow that was originally under David's body was also condensed like a corresponding summoning at this moment, forming some kind of strange entity attached to his dagger, and the dagger in David's hand that looked short suddenly became much larger on the attachment of the shadow, and the curved blade looked like the sharp teeth of a beast and swung towards the girl in front of him.
But the shadowy blade did not stab the girl in front of him as David expected, on the contrary, his eyes widened in horror, and he stared at the scene in disbelief - the shadow blade stopped a few centimeters in front of Patilina, but it was never able to stab again. Ripples emerge out of thin air from the space, and golden lines crisscross each other. It condensed into a fragile but sturdy barrier in the otherwise empty air. Seeing this scene, David only felt cold sweat all over his body. A chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Of course he knew what was in front of him, and that was what he had been striving for. But now, as he saw his dream come true, David felt fear for the first time.
Legendary Boundary!!
If at any other time someone had told David that a teenage girl was a legendary powerhouse, he would have dismissed it as nothing more than the drunken chatter of a tavern and the daydream of a madman, but now he had seen it with his own eyes. David is forty-five years old. He had reached the pinnacle of the Shadow Dancer, and with just a few further steps, he could cross that mortal wall and enter a whole new realm. Therefore, he knew very well what a legendary powerhouse was like, and now, he could feel that the space around him was trembling, and he could also feel that his own power was disintegrating under the legendary pressure of the other party -- this was the crushing and domination of the superior authority over the subordinate authority, and nothing could stop this qiē. Nor can there be anything to disguise the fluctuations brought about by this legendary coercion!
What the hell is going on here?!!
At this moment, David's brain was completely blank, of course he knew that there was a legendary powerhouse on the side of the Pawood family, that was Jenn of the Pashanon Mens family. But the other party did not come to this ceremony, besides. Jenn is a man, and there is no way to become such a little girl. And he knew from his employer that the little girl was the man next to him -- but the problem was that the guys didn't say that the little girl could be so powerful!!
This is the realm of legends!! I have been on the Eagle Plateau for so many years. The legendary powerhouses I've seen can count them on one hand, but what's going on now? Could it be said overnight. Has the world changed?
But David didn't have time to think about it, because he immediately felt a powerful impact coming from his neck. The next moment, David was choked by Patilina and pressed to the ground.
"Boom!!"
As David collided with the ground, a dull sound erupted. Even the ground trembled slightly. And almost at the same time, the girl knights, who had been silent before, also made a counterattack. In the face of the surprise attack of those assassins who pounced from the shadows, they did not show the slightest panic at all, on the contrary, in the face of those voices that flew out from the shadows, the girl knights standing in front of them just raised their sword staff and pressed a little harder towards the ground, and the next moment the dazzling light suddenly burst out, completely dispelling the shadows around them. This dazzling light naturally slowed down the movements of those assassins, but before they could make adjustments, the girls behind them had already brandished the long swords in their hands, and the invisible web formed by the intertwined sword qi completely enveloped those assassins in the darkness in an instant, bringing a "beautiful scenery" of blood and stumps.
In the blink of an eye, most of the Assassins brought by David had already been lost, and the few remaining Assassins who had escaped simply because of their luck finally realized that the situation was not good. Without hesitation, they turned their heads and dived back into the shadows, and soon disappeared completely.
It was only then that the others seemed to realize what was happening, and the guards, who had been sleepy, hurriedly got up with their weapons and looked around in amazement. Instead, Deli and Roddy got out of their sleeping bags in a daze, looking completely unaware of what was going on—no wonder, for these pampered aristocrats, marching in the rain was meant to be hard work, so they almost fell asleep by the campfire. If it weren't for the terrifying sound of Patilina cleaning up David, I'm afraid the two would have slept until dawn and didn't care about anything.
For now, though, they'd rather sleep until dawn, for whoever opens their eyes from their sleep and sees stumps and blood splattered all over the floor is never a wonderful experience.
When Roddy opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the upper body of an unlucky assassin, who was cut off by the sword qi of the girl knights, and the upper body rolled all the way to Roddy under the effect of the impact. The big eyes were still open, and there was a mixture of surprise and hideousness on his face, and it looked as terrifying as a demon from hell. Seeing this scene, Roddy suddenly screamed in fright, and instinctively got up and wanted to retreat. But he didn't expect his feet to slip, and the next moment, the "pseudo-mother" young master suddenly fell to the ground, his face was pale, and he was trembling as if he had some kind of disease.
"Who are they?"
Compared to Roddy, Dali was obviously much calmer, although she was also startled by the scene in front of her when she first opened her eyes. However, compared to Roddy, Deli is still a mage who has traveled abroad, and has seen a lot of battles and dead people. And in the battle to encircle and suppress the cultists, she had seen the battle of those girl knights more than once. So I'm no stranger to this scene in front of me. So although she was a little surprised at first, Dai Li quickly calmed down and asked.
"Who knows, it's just a bunch of boring rats anyway."
Hearing Delly's inquiry, Patilina snorted coldly, and then she raised her right hand again and lifted the man who was holding it. Although in terms of height, David is much taller than Pattilina. But when he was caught by Patilina, he was limp and had no strength, and he couldn't even move his hands and feet. David knew very well that this was not what the girl in front of him had done to him, on the contrary, this was exactly the expression that he was completely suppressed by the other party's legendary coercion!
Intellectually, though, David wasn't willing to give up. But in fact, he had already instinctively felt the strength of Patilina, and the blow he threw all his strength into was not taken seriously by the other party at all, and even easily destroyed it completely, and only the powerhouse of the legendary realm could do this kind of thing!
Damn, how did you not know that the Pawood family was so powerful before? If he had known that this was the case, he really shouldn't have taken this commission in the first place!!
Although David regretted it at the moment, Patilina didn't care what he thought. Instead, she lowered her little head and stared at him coldly with her eyes.
"Say, who sent you?"
“……………”
David didn't speak, he just shook his head in the face of Patilina's inquiry. As killers, as long as they take money to do things, they naturally will not ask about the identity of their employers. After all, this kind of transaction often involves political trouble, and if the identity of the employer is known to them, then David can be sure that he will be killed by the client after the work is called. Rather than adding another layer of danger, it is better to restrain your curiosity, and only in this way can you live longer. That's what he thinks, and that's what he does.
But now, it looks like he's going to be in big trouble.
"Don't say it?"
Seeing David's response, Patilina's face became more and more gloomy. And David could also feel that strong pressure was rapidly coming in all directions. It feels like being held by a giant, and if it pushes a little harder, its body will be completely shattered because it can't bear it!
"I......... I don't know ................"
Eventually, David spoke. He stared at Patilina in front of him, then replied in a low voice.
"I'm just taking the money to do things......... Someone wants you to die........."
"Don't know?"
Hearing David's answer, Patilina tilted her little head, stared at the man in front of her, and nodded.
"Well, then it seems that you are of little use."
As Patilina spoke, David only felt a flower in front of him, and the originally static scenery around him instantly turned into countless vertical lines flashing in front of his eyes, and then, accompanied by a sharp pain, his consciousness was completely plunged into boundless darkness.
