After firing four shots without changing places, even a blind man knew there was a sniper on the high wall.
Renn did this not only to create opportunities for President Catherine and others below to withdraw from the ancient city, but also to better kill this group of professional assassins.
This tactic has the same purpose as those who assassinated the sentry before, to nibble away in batches first.
It is not a good choice to go directly to face Gang. No matter how confident Ren was, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could confront more than a dozen sophisticated second-level assassins at the same time. What's more, 80% of the enemies have third-level assassins lurking there.
He had been in the Phantom Thieves before and was very familiar with the hunting tactics of the Assassins.
The target of those people was Catherine, so the high-level combatants in this assassination must have followed her.
To deal with Renn, a lone sniper, the most that can be done is to send two "middle and lower" combat forces to clear out the sniper point.
No, just as Ren guessed, there were just two of them.
... ..
Renne was "wiped on the throat" twice.
He felt that if he was hit again, he could really die.
The time it took for him to fire four shots was calculated to be just enough time for the second-level assassin to climb up the city wall and get closer to him.
When the assassin stepped on the "sounding powder" deliberately arranged by Ren on the ground, the sound like the grinding of coarse sand also entered his ears. I was caught off guard when I wiped my throat before, but now...
Just when the black dagger was close to his shoulder, Ren suddenly turned around, grabbed the white blade with his bare hands, and grabbed the sharp blade!
The tough material of [Karnap's Sacred Gloves] made it impossible for the dagger to move forward or retreat, and the backhand was the multi-weapon chain grappling move in [Mysterious Ten Hands]. With a twist and a pinch, the assassin instantly lost control of his arm. .
And just when Ren reacted like lightning and grabbed the edge of the dagger, another female assassin's dagger also stabbed straight at his waist.
This is a two-person attack tactic, not only to kill people, but also to deal with the situation where a companion is captured.
Under normal circumstances, if you don't retreat when encountering this kind of situation, the opponent will lose an arm, and you will be stabbed in the waist, either dead or disabled!
The correct way to respond is to give up the assassin you are holding and then back up to avoid the dagger.
The first round ended in a draw.
But Renn didn't want to tangle with the two assassins anymore. He glanced at the dagger at his waist and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Not only did he not dodge, but he clenched his fist and punched the assassin whose arm was captured on the neck.
This punch was a [gun punch] with strange strength, and it didn't stop at all.
There was a "whoosh" sound from the fist, followed by a "click" sound of bones breaking.
This punch directly broke the assassin's neck. The frightened look in his eyes didn't disappear, his head fell to one side, and he died completely.
At the same time, a dagger had cut through the skin and penetrated Ren's waist.
The female assassin wielding the knife just had a thought in her mind, why did this guy kill his companions without dodging
And the next moment, shock appeared in her cold eyes.
Because when her knife penetrated Ren's body, she encountered huge resistance in an instant. As soon as the sharp dagger tip penetrated the opponent's skin, the muscles squeezed over, preventing her from continuing to use force to pierce the muscle layer.
One of the six mysteries of fighting is the body-protecting skill [King Kong]. The fighting spirit protects the body, and the muscles are like iron. King Kong is invincible!
The stronger the fighting spirit, the stronger the defense!
Ren's current fighting spirit is no worse than that of an ordinary third-level extraordinary. With the [King Kong] already on defense and the super toughness brought by the blood worms, ordinary caliber musket bullets cannot penetrate it, let alone a dagger
"snort!"
A cold snort.
At this moment of stiffness, Ren had already withdrawn his hand. He let go of the body with the broken neck, and used his backhand to catch the assassin's wrist who was holding the dagger and stabbed him in the waist.
"Oops!"
But the assassin secretly thought something bad and reacted very quickly.
When she realized that the dagger couldn't penetrate, she immediately let go. Her instinctive sense of crisis made her immediately choose to retreat.
But there were not many places to stay on this incomplete city wall, and there was no room for retreat. The assassin jumped backwards, planning to jump off the city wall to the ground. After landing, she could sneak away immediately under the cover of night.
This is an invincible enemy, and the captain must be notified to surround and kill him!
But...she thought too much.
There is no way Renn could give the enemy a chance to escape!
"Snapped!"
There was an explosion in the air, and a figure stepped on the wall and shot down like a cannonball.
One is free fall, the other is acceleration.
Just before the assassin's body hit the ground, Renn had already grabbed the assassin's ankle in the air.
"Oops!"
Unable to borrow power from the air, the assassin could only watch helplessly as he was caught.
"What kind of strange power is this?!"
Then a sharp pain came from her ankle that made her almost faint. I tried to break free, but the big iron hand remained motionless.
"What kind of monster is this guy?! [King Kong], [Divine Walk]... That punch just now seemed to be [Cannon Fist]? Oh my god, he has mastered three of the six secrets of a fighter. This is really just one A second-level fighter?!"
If it weren't for the lack of "momentum" in his fighting spirit, the assassin would have thought he was facing a high-level transcendent.
However, this was the last thought that flashed through her mind.
A second later, Renn landed steadily.
The assassin was stung but did not give up his struggle. Her left ankle was caught, she turned over and twisted her waist, and her right leg was like an iron whip, slashing towards Ren's head.
But in terms of fighting skills, how could Renn, a professional fighter, lose to an assassin
He dealt with it with great ease.
When this kick came, Ren blocked it with one hand, then took advantage of the situation and grabbed the assassin's right ankle.
With his legs under control, the assassin wanted to do a rabbit kick...but Ren's huge strength kept him immobile, and then gave the enemy no chance to counterattack. Like a big windmill, he swung his backhand and directly hit the assassin. The horizontal board fell to the ground, causing a large amount of blood to spurt out, and the fighting spirit gauze instantly collapsed.
Ren took advantage of this gap and punched the assassin's head mercilessly again, denting his facial features and splattering blood all over the floor.
Then he added a knee blow to the neck, and with a "click", she completely died.
After killing two people in a row, Renn took a breath.
The wound on his waist returned to normal instantly.
He didn't look at the corpse on the ground, but followed the direction of the gunfire and looked outside the ancient city.
Without much delay, he jumped onto the city wall, put away the sniper rifle and the assassin's storage ring, and then chased Catherine and the others outside the city in the direction they evacuated.
... ..
Assassins can use their professional skills to "sneak" and hide in the night, but that doesn't mean they have no traces at all.
At least, it won't fly, and its footsteps will leave traces on the ground.
Before, the city was filled with compacted hard loess, and there wasn't much difference. But in the desert, "stealth" became meaningless.
The continuous firing of flares made the entire sandy land look like daylight.
In this situation, the assassin's advantage is not great.
The reason why assassins are so powerful is mostly because they hide in the dark and can make sneak attacks and deliver fatal blows to their opponents.
And Lady Catherine was also extremely shrewd. She chose a huge flat sandy area without any cover. If the assassin came, he would have to fight head-on.
Obviously, this wily and scheming president of the "Sequoia Chamber of Commerce" seemed to have been in danger for a long time, and he actually ambush a master in the wilderness hunting team.
That's a third-level earth elemental mage!
"Huh... "
When Ren chased after him, he happened to see the earth element giant with several silt-condensed heads standing around everyone in the Chamber of Commerce, engaging in a fierce gunfight with the assassins.
He did not get close, but found a small sand dune and set up his sniper again.
"To be able to take charge of a large chamber of commerce, the means are indeed not simple..."
Through the scope, Ren saw the hem of the third-level earth elemental mage's clothes. It was a black and white nun's uniform.
In his impression, there was indeed a medical supernormal dressed as a nun in the team. When he was introduced, she was just a second-level ordinary priest.
He had been hiding in the team before, so it was obvious that he was the back-up man left behind by Catherine.
Moreover, in the desert terrain, bringing a high-level earth elemental mage is indeed stronger than any other profession. The three "earth giants" she gathered together can serve as two second-level extraordinary envoys.
Renn didn't go to see many people at the Chamber of Commerce. As long as Catherine and her son were still alive, the situation wasn't too bad.
At this time, he set his sights on those assassins. Following the amount of fire emitted from the muzzle, he quickly identified the number of enemies: "Twelve assassins, and a third-level captain! Oh, no, it should be two third-level ones, and one is fighting fiercely with Captain Frank. . . . ”
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Because Frank, the third-level assassin hired by Catherine, discovered the enemy's night attack, and then immediately fought the enemy's third-level extraordinary out of the city.
But now, there is actually no movement at all!
"Were you killed? Or did you escape?"
Ren suddenly felt something bad.
Frank's combat power is not weak among third-level assassins. If he is killed, the enemy will be ridiculously strong;
If he was defeated and ran away, the enemy would also be stronger than him.
When Catherine and the others deal with one third-level assassin, it may not be a big deal if they keep a close eye on them, but if there are two, it will be a big problem.
Although the third-level earth mage is powerful, in the eyes of assassins of the same level, once he is close, there is almost no room for resistance. The assassin's sharp dagger would not give her any chance to cast spells and chant.
Now Catherine's tactics are also very clear. Everyone protects the earth mage in the middle.
Renn didn't see where the other third-level assassin was, but he was also deducing the enemy's tactics in his mind: "If I were that third-level assassin, I would find a way to kill the people around me who are protecting the mage first..."
But he didn't expect how those assassins would do it with the protection of three "earth giants".
Staring at the hail of bullets, even a third-level assassin would not be able to gain favor. After all, not only Catherine, but the muskets in the hands of the guards of the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce are also sophisticated and powerful firearms. One round of concentrated fire can make even a third-level transcendent suffer heavy losses.
And suddenly, reality told Renn what exactly the sneaking person would do at this moment!
... .
Just when everyone was focusing on shooting, unexpectedly, a translucent figure suddenly appeared near the blind spot of the sand giant's field of vision.
Just before everyone in the Chamber of Commerce had time to react, suddenly, a short knife with an iron chain stabbed in like a poisonous snake hunting for prey. The knife stabbed the neck of the nearest light-armored swordsman. The skin was broken instantly, and blood flowed freely.
Taking a closer look, the wound was still filled with green blood!
The knife is poisonous!
Originally, the injury from this knife was not fatal, but the poison instantly caused the lightly armored swordsman to lose consciousness, his face turned purple and black, and he fell to the ground.
Moreover, after the stealth killing, his body turned transparent again and disappeared after a few flashes.
On the sand, surprisingly there were only some tiny footprints like those of small lizards running across. No wonder he can get so close secretly. This sneaking technique is so weird that people can't keep their eyes on it and can't catch it at all!
Seeing someone fall to the ground after being attacked by a sneak attack, Catherine's expression turned stern and she quickly fired several shots in the direction of the footprints, but she didn't touch the guy's clothes at all.
At this moment, someone almost shouted: "Arthur has been poisoned! Hurry, he needs an antidote!"
Catherine looked at the blackened wounds of the light-armored swordsman named Cather and her expression was gloomy. She was not stingy at all, she took out a valuable high-level antidote and injected it into his neck.
After taking this potion, although it seemed that Kai Arthur's life was saved, he also fell into a coma and completely lost his fighting ability.
And, what's worse is that others also recognized the "ghost" assassin who just retreated calmly after killing people. The faces of the hunters showed pale looks of panic.
"It's him! It's the 'ghost' of the Black Skull!"
"We are dead this time, that guy is here..."
"It's over, everything is over, that guy won't leave anyone alive..."
"..."
It seems that the mention of that name instantly makes people lose the desire to resist.
That name, even for a high-level transcendent, means... death!
When she heard the name "Ghost Shadow", even Catherine, who had been calm and collected from beginning to end, became extremely ugly.
That guy... actually came to intercept and kill him in person? !
... ..
"What a brilliant stealth method... This is definitely not an ordinary third-level assassin!"
Renn, who was on the sand dune in the distance, naturally saw that scene through the lookout glass, and immediately realized something in his heart: "It was actually that guy... It seems that Captain Frank should have been killed."
Chain knives, poison, and ghostly movements.
The bounty orders for all the famous members of the "Black Skull Phantom Thieves" are in Zhi Nao's database. When these iconic conditions are put together and screened, "Zhi Nao" immediately identifies a person.
That is the captain of the 16th Division of the Black Skulls, [Ghost] Chiros, who has a bounty of 13 million liso!
The "Black Skull Phantom Thieves" is a top-level Phantom Thieves group that is as powerful as Bazel's original "White Wolf Group", and there are many masters in the group.
In a cruel place like the Phantom Thieves, there is little talk about seniority. If you want to be a squad leader, you must have the ability to control others.
And this Chilos can become the captain of the "Black Skull" with the third-level extraordinary rank because of his absolute strength!
Although he was a third-level assassin, he could kill more fourth-level transcendent beings than he could count with one pair of hands.
This is a very tricky assassin!
