The two looked at each other speechlessly.

Rhodes stood in front of Marlene and raised his long sword diagonally, but he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, what he was most afraid of was to confront the advanced profession head-on. Because the advanced means that their strength level has surpassed the level of mortals, and they have officially begun to step into the ranks of supermen, although the secret agents themselves are not known for their strength, but this does not prevent them from having a strong strength. Not to mention that the secret agent is extremely fast, and it is difficult for ordinary people to react at all. And......... This is a human being, and if it is a beast or alchemical creature with only a little wisdom, then it is much easier to deal with.

But now it's useless to regret it.

"Marlene, always be careful, lock him up and attack at every opportunity, understand?"

"I'll try."

This time, in the face of Rod's order, Marlene, who has always been full of confidence, and the arrogant Marlene has also become cautious, she has almost never seen such a fast speed, plus the other party can actually break her magic shield, which also makes Marlene invisibly have a sense of crisis. She took a few steps back to calm her mind, and raised her staff.

And at this moment, the agent's figure flickered.

What a speed!

Almost in the blink of an eye, Rod saw that the cold blade had reached his eyes, he was taken aback, and subconsciously turned over the long sword in his hand, which was worthy of blocking the short knife.

But immediately, Rhodes felt a huge force coming from the sword, and his body also flew backwards at this time, flying several meters before falling heavily to the ground. Although the blow to Rhodes was quite heavy, he gritted his teeth and rolled to his feet, the long sword in his hand almost instinctively swung a circle around him, and then once again fended off the blade coming from the darkness.

"Boom!!"

Rhodes flickered, half-kneeling, the magic weapon in his hand making a raspy grinding sound, and bent backwards like a longbow.

This is a barbarian or a secret agent!

Rhodes held the hilt of the sword with one hand and pressed the other hand on the sword, while secretly crying out in his heart. This guy is really too difficult to deal with, he is fast, and his strength is still large, if it weren't for his own experience, I'm afraid he would have become a corpse on the ground by now.

"Huh?"

And looking at Rod's embarrassed performance, a trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the black-clothed agent.

He didn't despise Rhodes, and from the fact that he could kill two of his subordinates quietly, the black-clad spy could see that this young man was brave and resourceful, and had combat experience. And he was able to discover his existence at the first time and avoid his sneak attack, all of which showed that this young man was not easy to deal with. Therefore, after the failure of the first kill, the black-clothed agent was no longer sure to deal with him, and the subsequent attack was just to know the destiny of heaven.

But he didn't expect his attack, and the young man's performance was completely beyond the expectations of the black-clothed agent.

He can't resist his own attacks?

Looking at the black-haired man who was struggling to support him in front of him, the black-clothed spy was puzzled, he naturally knew that a guy who couldn't even catch his own frontal attack would definitely not advance. But just such an unadvanced swordsman can quietly kill his two subordinates? It's a little weird, isn't it?

Generally speaking, combat experience is definitely linked to strength, and the more combat experience you have, the stronger your strength will be, which is normal. But a person has a lot of combat experience, but his strength is so weak, what kind of trouble is this? Of course, the black-clothed spy didn't know that Dao Rod's combat experience came from another world that was almost exactly the same as here, as a secret agent, prudence and caution were his essence, and if something went wrong, he was a demon, seeing that he was so decisive and resolute, without dragging his feet at all, what he was showing in front of him was likely to be an illusion, and he had to be careful, so as not to capsize in the gutter, and then he would be in trouble. …,

Thinking of this, the black-clothed spy couldn't help but retract his strength.

And feeling this, Rod also hurriedly reacted, although he didn't know why this secret agent would drop the chain at this time, but the opportunity must not be missed, and he will not be so stupid as to even let go of such a good opportunity!

The left hand against the blade of the sword stretched out, and then slid down the blade of the sword!

Bright red flames burst out of Rod's palm, roaring towards the black-clad agent, and with a howl, the pitch-black hound once again flew out of the flames, opening its mouth and pounced.

What the hell is this!! “

Seeing the flames in front of him erupt without the slightest warning, the black-clothed agent was also greatly surprised, he hurriedly pulled back, avoiding the invasion of the flames, but before he could calm down, the flame killer had already pounced from the air, and the snowy teeth in the open mouth made the black-clothed agent secretly frightened. However, as an advanced professional, he was not yet to the point where he would be frightened by this kind of thing, facing the oncoming black hound, the black-clothed spy snorted coldly, and then his hands suddenly waved, accompanied by two bright arcs flashed, and the flame killer in mid-air was immediately separated.

The black-clothed agent snorted coldly and turned his head sideways, intending to avoid the corpse of the black hound, I have to say that his choice was not wrong, if it didn't take into account the characteristics of the Flame Slayer.........

"Boom !!"

A violent explosion erupted on the ground, and bright red flames swept through the smoke and spread in all directions, even shaking the entire palace. The black-clothed spy withdrew from it in embarrassment, at this moment he had long lost his previous calmness, and there was already a little panic in his eyes.

His guess was right, this young man really had a problem!

Throwing away the short knife in his left hand that had been completely melted, the black-clothed agent gritted his teeth, he had never seen such a strange elf summoning technique, no need to chant, no need to prepare, it could be launched directly. And the summoned elves actually have such an effect?

Is this the power of some kind of magical equipment, or is it his own ability?

Just as the black-clad agent was in shock, a sharp flash pierced the smoke and struck him.

It was a white and immaculate sword!

"Damn it!"

The black-clothed spy has experienced a hundred battles, and when he saw the other party's unforgiving appearance, he immediately knew that something was wrong, and Rod's strange fighting style had made him a little unguarded, he waved the dagger and flew the long sword, and then quickly retreated backwards, at this moment, the black-clothed spy had given up the idea of continuing to attack, temporarily retreating, and the coming day would be long, anyway, it was absolutely impossible for them to stay here without going out!

But at this moment, another thing happened that the black-clad agent did not expect.

Just after his dagger flew the long sword, the long sword, which had been spinning and flying in mid-air, suddenly transformed into a turquoise, translucent bird, which circled in the air for half a circle, and then swooped down with a low groan, flapping its wings.

What the hell is this!!

Even if it is a spy who has experienced a hundred battles, he is completely hairy at this moment, and what is happening in front of him is completely beyond the scope of his comprehension, a summoning elf that can explode, and a bird that can turn into a sword? Or a sword capable of turning into a bird? Holy Soul bless, does it dare to make a mess a little more?

Although the black-clothed spy was full of depression now, he didn't have time to vent it out of his body at all, because he clearly saw that not far behind the bird, Rod's figure passed through the thick smoke, and the long sword was stabbing at him!

"Humph!!"

Now, the black-clothed agent no longer hesitated, he suddenly pulled out another short knife from behind his waist, aimed at the soul bird and quickly threw it, while his right hand clenched the dagger across his chest. After the confrontation just now, the black-clothed spy also learned to be obedient, and the other party summoned a dog that would explode before, and this bird that would only explode again would not be unlucky again? …,

And so it was.

Seeing the reaction of the black-clothed detective, Rod was overjoyed, as early as when the black-clothed detective collected the knife just now, he was still a little puzzled about why the other party didn't take the opportunity to directly bombard himself to death, and thought that this guy was not interested in playing with his prey, and now he finally understood that the other party was afraid of himself!

Or rather, he's afraid of the way he fights!

As soon as he thought of this, Rhodes immediately made a decision, the opportunity must not be lost, and since the other party can't figure out how he is fighting, then he will definitely take care of it. There are no summoned swordsmen in this world, and of course they have no experience in fighting summoned swordsmen, so they will subconsciously have scruples. And this is also a great opportunity for Rode, once this guy figured out his hole cards, then Rod is sure that he is only a matter of countdown time before he dies.

But Rod is not a fool, seeing that the black-clothed agent is obviously focused on his side, he will not be stupid enough to rush forward, only to see Rod stop suddenly, and then he held the bright red sword in his hand and threw it forward.

A silvery arc cut through the darkness and flew forward.

What the hell is going on!

Seeing Rod's sword, the black-clothed agent almost threw away the dagger in his hand. Condensing sword qi and attacking out of the body is clearly the sign of an advanced swordsman! I was really deceived by that kid!! Looking at the way he pretended to be in front of him, he was really almost fooled!

Thinking of this, the black-clothed spy couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Does this guy still have a penchant for playing with his prey?

He decisively sent back what Rhodes had commented on him a minute ago.

What an incomparably beautiful misunderstanding.

In the face of the flying sword qi, this time the black-clothed spy was finally not stupid enough to block it with his hands, he jumped backwards and dodged Rhodes's attack, but at this moment, there was a slight sound in the air, which made the black-clothed agent's heart feel like falling into an ice cave!

"Boom !!"

It was at this moment that Marlene finally locked onto the figure that had been shaking, and then she raised her staff and pointed forward!

The invisible blade of wind shot out and flew towards its target.

"Woo!!"

A low, muffled grunt sounded.

Although the black-clothed agent is good, but the speed of human beings has its limit after all, in order to avoid Rod's sudden attack, he has done his best, and in the face of Marlene's wind blade, the black-clothed agent has no power to resist, the only thing he can do is to roll on the spot and desperately dodge the attack of the wind blade. But even so, there were still a few sharp wind blades passing by, bringing him scars.

When he stood up again, his whole body was covered with scars, and even the black cloth that had been covering his face fell to the ground at this moment.

"Huh?"

But after seeing the face of the black-clad agent clearly, Marlene stayed where she was.

Because under the black cloth, there was actually a girl's face.

Seeing that her true face had been exposed, the black-clothed spy finally stopped choosing to dodge, she (now finally changed back) roared angrily, then raised her dagger and rushed towards Marlene!

"Marlene, do it!"

Although she heard Rod's order, and the magic power had been condensed in the center of the staff, but looking at the girl who was gritting her teeth and rushing towards her, Marlene couldn't lift the staff in her hand, as if the short staff weighed a thousand pounds at the moment, and she couldn't pick it up at all.

That's a girl about the same age as herself, are you going to kill her?

The thought flew through Marlene's mind, causing her to suddenly distract from her original concentration, but because of this hesitation, Marlene missed the best opportunity. …,

"Die!!"

Like a female leopard, the black-clad spy had already arrived at Marlene's side after a few ups and downs, and then she roared and raised the dagger in her hand.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene in front of him, Rod gritted his teeth, he didn't run forward, reversed, Rod raised his right hand, and then retreated sharply.

Then, darkness swallowed his figure completely.

"Ah............h

The girl's roar and the cold wind of the dagger finally brought Marlene's mind back, and when she focused again, she saw that the scythe of death had been raised.

Just wait to fall and reap life.

“———！！！”

At this moment, Marlene felt the coldness of her body, she closed her eyes, held the staff tightly, and her brain went blank.

Am I going to die?

This was Marlene's only thought at the moment.

The dagger that shimmered with cold light fell, piercing the force field shield that sensed danger, piercing through flesh and bones.

"Phew!"

But Marlene didn't feel any pain at all.

Are you dead?

She opened her eyes in surprise, and the first thing that caught her eye was a large open hand. In the center of it, a sharp, glowing dagger pierced the palm.

There is only one owner of this palm.

"Mr. Rhodes!"

"Humph!!"

Blocking the attack of the black-clothed agent with one hand, Rhodes snorted coldly, and then he held the long sword in his right hand and swung it suddenly!

A head soared into the sky.

The girl's face had an unwilling, angry expression, and her eyes were bloodshot, but her head just like this crossed an arc in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground. And at this moment, the body that had lost its center of gravity and swayed back and forth also fell backwards to the ground, bright red blood spurted out from the neck from time to time, and the whole corpse was also convulsing, looking like a fish that was not completely dead, instinctively struggling, but there was no hope.

"Hoo ........."

It wasn't until he saw the other party fall that Rod breathed a sigh of relief, he half-knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth, and then reached out and pulled out the dagger in the palm of his hand. Then, he turned around and glared at Marlene viciously.

"I told you to do it, why don't you move!"

“………………”

Marlene froze.

She had never seen Rod with such an angry expression, most of the expressions on Rode's face before were flat, and occasionally frowning and snorting coldly was already his limit. But this time, Rhodes was obviously very angry, and his beautiful face was even a little hideous at the moment, and his two eyes flashed with a cold cold light, and he shot through the girl's body mercilessly.

"Say!"

"yes, I'm sorry......"

Marlene felt that she was really useless, and she was really speechless in the face of Rod's angry shouting. If she had done what Rhodes had said at that time, then she would never have been in danger. But I was disturbed by other thoughts, so I didn't react immediately, no matter what, it was my own fault. This caused Marlene to feel a deep sense of frustration, a feeling she hadn't tasted in a long time.

"I ...... It's all my fault......"

Marlene bowed her head deeply.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rhodes, I shouldn't have been distracted......"

"It's not that I don't know what you're thinking, but I want you to know that at this time, your hesitation is likely to kill your companion!"

Regarding Marlene's apology, Rod did not say that he accepted it, nor did he say that he did not accept it.

"Fortunately, I was prepared, what if I changed to Lijie? If the other party's target is Lijie, your hesitation now is enough to make you hold her corpse and cry for the rest of your life! ”

“…………”…,

Marlene shrank back, but couldn't say anything.

“………… Since you know that you are wrong, then I will punish you now, and you should accept it. ”

"Of course, Mr. Rod, may I ask what you want me to do!?"

Hearing that she still had a chance to make amends, Marlene hurriedly raised her head and asked eagerly, but what she saw was that Rhodes reversed his long sword and handed it over.

"Use this sword to cut off the heads of those two corpses and burn them."

"Huh?"

"If you're not used to killing people, then kill people first to practice your hands."

This is indeed a difficult problem for Marlene. She hesitantly looked at the long sword handed by Rod, stretched out her hand tremblingly, stagnated in the air, and finally gritted her teeth and took it.

"I want you to remember that if you don't kill them, then it's you, or your friend, who is lying on the ground and beheaded......... I hope you don't forget that. ”、

Seeing Marlene pick up the sword and turn around and walk towards the other two corpses, Rod sighed, and he sat down against the stone pillar, gritting his teeth. I have to say that this is really painful, the dagger of the black-clothed agent completely pierced Rod's palm, this severe pain is unbearable, not to mention, it is also coated with poison......

Luckily, I'm in a good condition.

Raising his left hand, looking at the shocking dark turquoise in the center of his palm, Rhodes gasped, just now he had obtained the information of his system of success in resisting toxins, otherwise Rhodes would not be an idiot and still teach Marlene how to kill people - it is only right to go back to detoxify as soon as possible.

But neither Rhodes nor Marlene noticed that the blood dripping from Rhodes' left hand had fallen into the gap in the stone slab. But they did not wither like the other bloodstains, but on the contrary, the blood flowed as if it had life, flowing into the ravines on both sides of the palace, and then silently flowing forward.

And where darkness shrouded and could not be seen, an invisible force attracted the blood upwards, climbing over the steps, over the stone pillars, and finally condensing and merging in the altar.........

"Rowe, Mr. Rhodes, I'm done."

At this time, Marlene also completed Rod's order, her face was pale, without the slightest blood, you could see how hard the blow to the girl was, but Rod didn't say anything more, he glanced at the three corpses that were burning not far away, and then stood up and nodded to Marlene.

"Alright, let's get ready, let's get out of this hellish place. There are two more people out there, and we have to get them done. Remember, don't make that ......... again"

"Ah!!h

Before Rod could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a scream in the distance.

What's going on?

Rhodes looked vigilantly in the direction where the voice came from, it should be the entrance to the secret passage, could it be that the two secret agents were killed? What's going on?

"Be careful, let's go!"

Ignoring the wound on his hand, Rhodes grabbed Marlene and was about to leave, but they hadn't gone far when suddenly, a golden light flashed.

Mysterious and strange characters appeared from the sky, forming an impregnable wall that closed all paths, and at the same time, Rhodes saw the sculptures that had been standing on either side of the stone pillars, and his eyes radiated with the light of magic!

I'm going, isn't it.........

As if to confirm Rod's conjecture, the sculptures slowly turned their bodies, they looked at Rod, and then raised their long swords!

Then, a deep voice rang out out of thin air.

"Descendant of the Guardian Knight, have you finally come to the test?" …,

Test?

Rod and Marlene looked at each other.

What test?

"Just now, I read some information from the stone pillar, Mr. Rhodes."

Marlene stammered.

"It's like a place where some knight passes the test, where they go through the trials and are given the title of Guardian when they are recognized...... I don't know what they're protecting, but it seems to be something very valuable........."

"Whatever they're guarding has nothing to do with us."

Rod shook his left hand and gasped in pain. Lijie was not there, and there was no way to take good care of the injury, although Rod himself bandaged it, but it was only better than nothing. It seems that this should be a hidden mission, but for the current Rod, he has no interest in challenging the slightest bit anymore, he was injured, and he used a lot of strength in the battle with that damn spy before, not to mention that the dark soul has also been used, in this case, no matter what the test, Rod is not sensitive.

"I'm sorry, we just went the wrong way."

Rod said casually, then patted Marlene on the shoulder.

"Let's go."

However, the voice did not respond to Rod's answer, it just paused, and then continued.

"As long as you can defeat the divine thoughts of the sages here, then you will inherit their strength and responsibility, and inherit the title of guardian."

……… Isn't this the realm of reality? Can't it be humane? Do you have to do it like a game going through the motions CG to be fun?

Spit and complain, but Rod also knew that this was probably the voice left over from some damn predecessor, and it was useless to deal with this kind of thing.

"Marlene, activate your magic device, and let's go."

He reached out to take Marlene's hand, and then spoke.

"Good, Mr. Rhodes."

Hearing Rod's words, Marlene nodded, then she closed her eyes and stretched out her right hand to press it to her chest, and soon, a white light emanated from her chest, and then enveloped the two of them......... Then it suddenly dissipated and returned to nothingness.

"The space is closed! Mr. Rhodes, the space here is enclosed! ”

At this moment, Marlene finally became nervous, she picked up the staff uneasily, and looked around vigilantly, but she didn't know what to do at all. And at this moment, the immortal voice sounded again.

"Take the test, Guardian Descendant."

With this voice, two statues stepped forward, their swords in one hand and the other flat, slowly stretched out.

Wait, is this posture .........

Rod's complexion changed slightly.

As if in response to his thoughts, suddenly, from the flat palm of the statue, a complex and mysterious circle suddenly appeared, and then, two cards slowly swirled and appeared in the air.

Then, with a low roar, the statue reached out and held it!

"Wow!!"

In the dust, two rocky cheetahs suddenly emerged from the floor, and they gathered around the statue, staring at Rhodes with wide eyes.
