At the moment when the assassin holding the scimitar lost his mind slightly, Zhang Heng's Persian sword that knocked flying arrows had already been retracted, and then drew a strange arc in the air, waiting for the scimitar assassin to see it again At the same time, he also saw the blood on the blade. At some point, the sharp blade of the Persian sword had cut his neck and jaw from bottom to top.
"It's not a good habit to walk away during battle." Zhang Heng had already dodged behind the stone pillar while talking, and when he pressed his back against the stone pillar, the machete assassin's body slowly fell down.
Zhang Heng successfully counter-killed an assassin with one against two, but he was not happy because these assassins chose to attack him tonight, which meant that his identity was finally exposed What's worse, this also shows from the side that the Balance Blade has probably suffered a complete defeat in the war with the Hound and Ortrus.
And unlike the team of cannon fodder assassins who were sent to death by the bridge before, the assassins waiting for him in his domus tonight are obviously higher level and better skilled. If there is no accident, they are probably the core members of the Hound.
In terms of personal strength, the Hound's assassins are slightly inferior to the Balanced Blade's assassins, but they are all at the top level in the world. Zhang Heng's pure assassination skills can't keep up with these honed killing machines, but with lv4 blade skills, once If the opponent misses the first hit, there is a high probability that he will not be his opponent in a frontal battle.
However, the bad news is that the other party obviously does not intend to one-on-one tonight.
In fact, when Zhang Heng killed the scimitar assassin, two more assassins sneaked out from behind the other two pillars. They glanced at each other, and then touched the pillar where Zhang Heng was hiding.
Since there are archers on the second floor, Zhang Heng can't probe out to observe the situation outside, which means that he can't see the danger that is approaching quietly, but after the two assassins touched the column, they waved Dagger, when he was about to make a fatal blow, he found that there was no one there.
Fortunately, the two reacted quickly, and immediately looked up to the top of their heads, noticing the shadow under the eaves, which was almost just enough for a person to crawl through without being noticed.
One of the assassins immediately reminded, "Be careful, he has already left his position, and he is probably heading for you, Divine Eye."
The archer named Shenyan on the second floor felt tense when he heard the words. He had seen Zhang Heng's battle at the bridge before. The scimitar assassin also died in the hands of the opponent. It can only be said that the gladiator champion of the Flavian Amphitheater really deserves his reputation. As an assassin who is good at using bows, he definitely does not want to get close to Zhang Heng unless his life is too long. Combat.
Therefore, he didn't hesitate after hearing his companion's reminder, and immediately began to concentrate on guarding his surroundings, while maintaining a half-squatting posture, and quietly began to move.
Because he knew that the previous two arrows had exposed his position, and it was very dangerous to stay where he was, and his action also saved his life. Zhang Heng turned over silently like a ghost. Going up to the second floor, he was not noticed by the archer assassin's companion until his figure landed on the place where the archer assassin was squatting.
At this moment, the archer assassin had already moved a certain distance, and upon hearing this, he immediately turned around and fully drew the bowstring.
His whole set of movements was done in one go, without wasting a second, but unfortunately his opponent's movements were faster. The moment he let go of his fingers, Zhang Heng had already cut off the wooden bow in his hand with a sword, so he was about to Most of the strength of the arrow that left the string was also removed, and finally it just fell obliquely to the ground.
However, Zhang Heng was unable to expand the results of the battle afterwards, because another assassin rushed out from the room next to him and stopped him. Because he was wearing the [Heart of Kreis], there was no movement at all when he moved, so he lost the opportunity to pinch Zhang Heng with the archer assassin in the first place.
And Zhang Heng didn't expect that the hound would think highly of him so much, and dispatched at least five top assassins to kill him, and he didn't know if there were other people lurking in his Domus. Zhang Heng didn't want to fight, although he didn't Can kill the archer assassin, but destroying the latter's weapon can be regarded as achieving his goal.
The next moment, before the two assassins downstairs climbed up to the second floor, Zhang Heng used the Persian sword in his hand to push back the opponent in front of him, then ran a few steps, and rolled into the room where the little slave girl lived before. Luckily there were no Hound assassins in the house.
Zhang Heng used the fastest speed to pry open a piece of the floor, and took out the [Plague Bone Bow] and [Paris Arrow] hidden inside. When the assassin behind him chased him in, he saw that Zhang Heng had already held the bow and arrow. , His reaction was not unpleasant, and he immediately retracted his body behind the door when he saw this.
Under normal circumstances, he was already safe at this time, but the arrow that flew out of the house that he did not expect turned a corner out of thin air, and then hit his forehead, and Zhang Heng's figure followed closely behind, pulling out the arrow. Out of the [Paris Arrow] stuck on the corpse, he jumped onto the roof without stopping.
As expected by Zhang Heng, the Hound really seemed to be planning to put him to death, and even arranged manpower on the roof as well, and formed a siege network, basically blocking all his way out.
However, Zhang Heng didn't panic when he saw this. He glanced at the enemies approaching from all directions, and jumped into the air directly. Immediately behind him, a pair of huge shadow wings spread out. Wings brought him, who should have fallen to the ground under the action of gravity, and easily flew over the heads of those stunned assassins, and plunged into the darkness in the distance.
And it wasn't until a long time later that the Hound's assassins woke up like a dream and realized that their mission had failed, but at this moment, what everyone was thinking about was not how to deal with the mission, but the mythical scene just now.
Some of them had also heard some rumors about the Eastern gladiator before, but no one took those obviously absurd rumors to heart until now they saw it with their own eyes.
Fortunately, the leading assassin said afterwards, "Balance Blade is finished, and it's no big deal to let go of an alternate core member of him. His wanted portraits will be spread all over the streets, if he is sensible, he should leave Rome overnight, otherwise he will not find any shelter in this city."
His words to some extent diluted the huge impact that the scene just had on everyone's hearts, but the assassins could still see doubt and anxiety in each other's eyes, but now that victory is in sight, most of them still chose to suppress it. Doubts in my heart, trying to forget what happened just now.
