It has to be said that President Catherine's crisis judgment ability and ability to adapt to changes on the battlefield are absolutely unparalleled.
Even with this group of temporarily hired wilderness hunting groups, they still displayed an astonishing momentum. Her decisiveness and leading by example left those hunters who had scruples no choice but to rush forward.
If she had not chosen to take the lead in a decisive battle with these assassins before, and had not given Renn's [ghost] Chiros a one-on-one chance, the Chamber of Commerce would have been wiped out long ago;
Even now, if she didn't bring someone to hunt down the escaped assassins, and let those assassins completely free up their hands to support him, Ren would definitely not be able to kill Nakiros, and would only choose to protect himself and not pursue him again.
It seems that the assassin group that attacked at night was beaten and fled in panic. Is it really safe
The "Black Skull Phantom Thieves" is not the only one. Even if they survive tonight, they will definitely be chased and killed. It is unlikely that these people from the Chamber of Commerce will be able to return to the "Black Wind Territory" alive.
If you hesitate in any choice, your team may be destroyed in the end.
Catherine's choice gave a satisfactory answer.
... ..
The assassins who had fled were nowhere to be found, and Catherine did not pursue them any further. Instead, she led her men to pursue the two men in the direction of Ren, following the blood stains on the ground.
They released flares all the way, illuminating the sky for miles around the trees, leaving the assassins nowhere to hide; they also fired all the way, crackling, not expecting to hit, but the most important purpose was to let people know , such a group of people were chasing after them.
On the other hand, Renn, who was chasing Chilos, looked up at the flares coming along the way and sighed in his heart: "It's really easy to have a smart person as a teammate."
Without Catherine and the others behind him, he would never have dared to pursue Chilos so brazenly.
After all, not to mention other things, having a third-level assassin is a big problem. Renn is not sure that he can get any advantage from the two third-level assassins.
He is now able to run away in embarrassment after Chiros, not because his combat power can defeat this "Black Skeleton" squad leader, but entirely because of the fine needle.
No matter how selfish the Phantom Thieves are, Chiros is also their captain.
If there is a chance, they will definitely find a chance to save it.
But now, Catherine gave up the idea of rescuing the assassins.
Although the members of the Chamber of Commerce's Wilderness Hunting Group could not catch up with Ren and his companions, they were not far behind. The third-level vice-captain was not sure of killing Ren in an instant. Once he was entangled in a stalemate, he would be surrounded by a large force.
altruism
I think too much, there is no such person in the Phantom Thieves.
The sound of gunshots behind him made Renn no longer worried. He stared at the black figure not far away, a few hundred meters away, and chased after it with all his strength.
He knew that this was the best opportunity to kill [Ghost Shadow] Chiros!
... ..
"Damn it, that guy's fighting spirit can't be used up! Is this really a second-level transcendent?"
[Ghost] Chiros looked at the figure chasing behind him and cursed in his heart.
He recognized that Ren was using [Mysterious Art: Divine Movement] from the lineage of "Qigong Masters".
But the martial arts revealed the secret, but he became even more confused.
The speed at which this instantaneous martial skill improves is indeed very high, and its consumption is also extremely powerful. Suitable for short-distance dashes, not suitable for long-distance dashes at all. Neither the muscles nor fighting spirit can bear the load!
Under normal circumstances, not to mention the second level, even the third level qigong master would not be able to raise his fighting spirit if he used this huge consumption of mysteries so intensively.
But now, what do you see
After running for several kilometers, the guy kept hitting the ground with "pa", "pa", "pa", and he was running with this [Magic Walk] the whole time.
Why wasn't his fighting spirit exhausted
Why didn't his muscles break
(Note: The difference between the two luck methods of [Shen Xing] qigong masters and martial arts masters is that the difference between running 100 meters and 400 meters is not very long-lasting;)
Chiros didn't know that Ren's advanced genetic potions and cultivation techniques were first-rate. The fighting spirit he now possesses is three times that of an advanced gold potion extraordinary person, and may be five to ten times that of an ordinary black iron potion extraordinary person!
Moreover, there are two "mana-returning BUFFs", [Thunder Totem] and "Gang Xian" that can restore fighting spirit at any time. The sudden consumption of fighting energy was far from exhausting him.
As for muscles
Ren himself didn't know why he didn't reach the limit. Since the last time the blood worms matured, his meridians have become stronger, and his muscles have become tougher and stronger many times. Under normal circumstances, if [神行] is used continuously, the accumulation of muscle fatigue will increase exponentially. You must stop and rest after using it a few times; just like you cannot run a marathon at a sprint speed of 100 meters all the time.
But Ren is doing this now, and apart from being a little bit difficult, he doesn’t feel like there’s much of a problem.
... .
Looking back at Chilos, his condition has reached the extreme.
The muscles, meridians, and organs of the body... were riddled with holes from the tiny needles.
It's like "delayed soreness" after strenuous exercise. It doesn't hurt when you don't move, but it hurts when you move.
At this moment, Chiros finally understood the working principle of the "hidden weapon". The more powerful the fighting energy was, the stronger the stinging sensation in the body was.
His intuition told him that he must stop the movement of fighting spirit, otherwise he might die suddenly at any moment.
But now, he dares to stop
In a real fight, the volume of Dou Qi circulation would be several times greater.
Escape is the way that consumes the least amount of fighting energy.
Chiros finally figured out why the guy behind him kept pursuing him so that he could not have any chance to breathe.
Fighting energy is always circulating, and you are always being hurt by "hidden weapons".
Without the other party taking action, he could die suddenly at any time.
"Pfft~"
Thinking of this, Chiros couldn't hold back the burning sensation in his throat and spurted out another mouthful of old blood, but he didn't dare to slow down at all.
"You can only use emergency medicine..."
Then his eyes flashed fiercely, and he took out two more potions from the storage ring and plunged them into his neck.
This is a [Speed Fury Potion] and a [Special Healing Potion];
Both are emergency potions. After injection, one can quickly heal the body; the other can strongly stimulate muscle excitement, which can increase the speed without consuming additional fighting energy.
But potions that stimulate potential in a short period of time have strong side effects, which means that as long as the opponent cannot get rid of his opponent after being injected with the potion, he will definitely die when the weakness period breaks out after the potion is excited!
Sure enough, as soon as the medicine entered the body, a warm current swept through the body instantly, and Chilo suddenly felt that his muscles were full of strength.
There was wind under his feet, and his speed increased dramatically.
This was the only hope Chilos could think of to get rid of the pursuers. He felt that with the last resort, he should be able to get rid of the pursuers now.
However, when he threw away the syringe, he glanced behind him, and the hope in his eyes instantly turned into despair.
... .
"Haha, I started taking drugs."
The moment Ren looked at Chiros, who was not far ahead, took out an injection and stuck it on his neck, he understood what this guy was going to do.
Not only was he not worried, he was overjoyed, an expected reaction!
"The amber injection instantly increased the speed by 30%... The one with this effect should be the [KSⅡ Speed Fury Potion] produced by the 'Parson Medical Association'..."
As a professional doctor, how could Renn not know about the common high-end pharmaceuticals circulating in the world
Seeing this, he himself did not hesitate, picked out an amplifying potion and injected it into his neck.
Wanting to get rid of yourself with potions, haha, it is simply a wishful thinking!
But when it comes to taking drugs, let alone a wild monster thief, even a rich and noble family can match Ren's wealth
Not to mention that you, the Phantom Thief, don’t have top-level potion channels at all. Even if you do, is there any potion in the world that is more effective than the unique potion that the former "Potion Guild President" Ilubeck refined for his disciples
However, this kind of emergency medicine was originally just in case. Now that the other party used it, he naturally used it too.
What's more, his non-mass-produced potion is more advanced than Chiros's and has less side effects!
As for the thing that obviously looked like a "healing potion", Ren didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, as long as Chilos' fighting spirit is still running, the injuries caused by the "Slender Needle" will not stop. No matter how powerful the healing potion is, the speed of repairing the body cannot be compared with the speed of destruction.
Then, after the two took drugs, the distance between them not only did not become wider, but became smaller and smaller.
But Ren was not in a hurry to take action, and just stayed behind, intending to outrun this guy to death.
Apparently, Chiros also discovered this.
Now that the emergency medicine has been injected, there is no way out. If you can't run away, you can only fight decisively before the sequelae break out.
Only by killing the pursuers would he have a chance to survive!
... ..
Then near a large sand dune, [Ghost] Chiros stopped.
He stared at Ren with cold eyes, as if he was fighting to the death.
From the first day he became a phantom thief, he had already made a conscious decision to either kill the enemy or be killed by the enemy.
Over the years, he has experienced desperate situations many times, and he has survived by being ruthless and risking his life. This time, it must be like this!
This kind of gaze is like a poisonous snake hunting. For ordinary people, just one glance will make them feel like the prey in the eyes of a poisonous snake, and they will be frightened.
But Ren was not afraid at all, and a sinister smile emerged from the corner of his mouth. He murmured in his heart: "Are you going to fight to the death..."
The incident happened suddenly, but it was also expected.
He was full of purple fighting spirit, put on a fighting stance, and stared closely into the opponent's eyes.
Bazel once taught him tips on how to challenge high-level extraordinary beings. If you want to predict the opponent's movements, in addition to sensing the changes in the opponent's energy, you also need to stare at the opponent's eyes. No matter how high-level the opponent is, as long as they still use visual perception to capture the opponent's movements, their attacks must be after their eyes are locked.
If it were Ren En before, he would probably choose to avoid his edge at this time.
Anyway, the other party can't catch up with you and slowly wear the other party to death. This is the safest method. But when chasing turns into running, you can't keep your eyes on the target at all times.
Chiros's reputation as "Ghost" is not for nothing. If you give him any chance, he may disappear in front of your eyes at any time like a magic trick.
Let go of the snake-like enemy
Wren was not so kind.
Moreover, he felt that the "Thunder Tiger Power" he had realized was just one step away. He needed a battle in which he could feel the crisis to help him advance.
The second-level transcendence can no longer give him that sense of crisis, and the third-level... There happens to be one in front of him.
Kiros, who is full of enemies, can't defeat him, and now that he's seriously injured, it's just the right time.
The "strength system" is extraordinary, and ultimately it is a masculine path that faces head-on challenges. Extraordinary people who take this path are indispensable for their domineering aura, and they always have to face the crisis head-on.
Thinking of this, Renn also became full of fighting spirit.
The domineering "tiger momentum" in my heart has quietly taken shape.
... .
After all, this battle is about life and death.
As soon as the two stopped, they fought fiercely without saying a word.
"Whoosh"~
The movement of the assassin's sudden movement is far less violent than that of the fighter. It looks light but extremely fast.
This [Ghost Shadow] used by Chiros was more like a ghost, leaving a string of shadows in the reflection of Ren's pupils, coming at him like lightning.
The third-level extraordinary fighting spirit can already leave the body. Chiros held the double daggers in his backhand, like the two fangs of a poisonous snake, and attacked Renn menacingly. As soon as he raised his hand, two wind blades were already slashing at him.
At this moment, Ren's perception was at its extreme. Just by looking at him, he knew that there was no way he could keep up with this elite third-level assassin. In this flash of lightning, his ears moved slightly, and the hair on the back of his neck felt a faint pressure of breath.
"Behind me!"
Ren's pupils shrank suddenly, and without paying attention to the two wind blades in front of him, he turned back to block them.
Sure enough, his judgment was correct.
"Keng~"
There was a crisp sound of gold and stone touching, and the gloved fist just touched the sharp dagger blade.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a moment, and the huge force coming from the dagger made him feel his waist sinking, and he took half a step back before he stopped. Can you imagine the consequences if this knife was stabbed in the back of the head
Obviously, the enemy already knows about his super "gang thread suture" ability. He may not die even if his heart is pierced, but he will definitely die if his head is blown out. Even vampires known as "undead" have their fatal weakness in the head!
A professional thief would not give anyone a chance to fight. Chiros had already tried the chain knife once before, and he was no longer interested in doing the "stupid act" of exchanging injuries for injuries with Renn again.
When the plan failed, the ghostly figure disappeared again.
After this blow, the two wind blades hit Ren's back, leaving two painless blood marks.
Renn saw the ghost disappear from his field of vision and immediately became alert. His perception had once again captured the guy appearing beside him.
Renn looked at Chiros's bowing posture and knew what that guy wanted to do.
This is also a required martial skill for assassins [Tricking Tendons].
This knife was aimed at his right ankle!
However, the opponent's speed was so fast that when he sensed the crisis, the blade had already cut his skin.
If it were someone else who had severed his hamstring with this knife, whether he was dodging or being hit by the knife, his body's center of gravity would definitely tilt. In this way, the enemy will continue the combo and stab the vital point again.
"snort!"
Ren's pupils shrank, anticipating the opponent's movements, but he had no intention of evading, and allowed the dagger to cut off his hamstring. But he took the opportunity to turn around and press hard on the ground, accurately grasping the ghost's neck, and then press hard on the ground.
With the blessing of this strange power, the figure was pressed heavily on the sand with a "bang".
Then he connected with the cannon punch, the second phase of the attack, and punched him under the head. It was like a cannonball hitting the ground, and a huge hole instantly fell!
Although he can't break Chiros's body-protecting fighting spirit, in terms of strength alone, Renn is not inferior by half!
"wrong!"
But after this punch, Ren immediately noticed that the texture was wrong. This punch didn't feel like it was hitting a human body, but like it was hitting a piece of wood.
"Assassin's secret martial skill [Phantom Stand]!"
Renn understood something instantly. He had just been fooled.
Even though he was very careful to deal with Chiros, he was still caught off guard by his superior approach to the battle.
And just when Ren was punching the stand-in puppet on the ground, those two tricky daggers came towards his neck again!
This set of brilliant assassin combos, not to mention the second level Ren En, even the third level master will definitely fall into it. After being attacked, life and death are on the line.
But Ren's current situation is different from others!
He didn't have to protect the vital points of his body like others. Without any hesitation, he directly raised his hand and used his flesh and blood to strike the sharp dagger.
"Pfft~"
There was a slight sound of blood rushing, and the dagger easily pierced the upper arm muscle of his left arm. Taking advantage of the gap between being stabbed, Ren reacted and struck out with his right arm like lightning, grabbing the wrist holding the dagger.
"Caught!"
Ren's expression was stern, and he was about to use his strength, intending to use his strength to overwhelm others, and restrain Chiros first.
But almost at the moment when he pinched the enemy's wrist, he heard a "click" sound from the joints, as if he had caught a slippery loach in his hand, and he let go instantly.
With one wrong joint, he was already out of control.
Then the ghost retreated tens of meters and opened a safe distance.
... .
"What a brilliant joint unloading technique..."
Ren stood up straight and squinted at the figure retreating in the distance.
At this moment, Chiros had taken off his hooded coat and used it on his "stand-in", revealing his muscular upper body.
However, due to the "slender needle", at this moment, blood beads are seeping out of the pores all over his body, and blood-red steam is rising from his skin, making him look very scary.
And Renn's condition was not good either. After a confrontation, he was stabbed twice in the back, his right ankle was cut off, and a green poison dagger was pierced in his left arm.
He pulled out the dagger with an expressionless face, and a stream of black blood surged onto the sand, emitting corrosive white smoke, and then the wound was instantly healed by the strong thread.
If it weren't for his extraordinary sequence of super healing abilities, even if he didn't lose his life in that round just now, at this moment, he would have no chance to fight back.
But now, it’s as good as ever!
His strength was not enough, so he came to collect potions. After injecting another [Secret Healing Potion] into his body, Ren felt that he was in good condition.
Moreover, he feels that he feels great now,
"Understanding" is a very mysterious thing. No one can express clearly in words what the third-level extraordinary "potential" is. Ten thousand people can understand ten thousand different "potentials".
Even though the big guys from Bazel gave many demonstrations and gave suggestions, Ren felt like looking at flowers in the mist and looking at the moon in the water. It was ethereal and could never become his own thing.
It was a wonderful feeling, like the breeze blowing on my face and the spiritual platform clear, but I couldn't grasp it even if I wanted to.
But now, that feeling is becoming clearer and more tangible. He feels that he is gradually realizing the feeling of "breeze in the palm of your hand".
Wren enjoyed the moment.
... .
On the other hand, [Ghost Shadow] Chiros, the great thief who can make people jealous just by his name, is getting more and more ugly at this moment.
His lungs were riddled with punctures and air leaked from all directions, making his breathing efficiency extremely low. He was like a fish out of water, having to breathe heavily to ensure the oxygen supply to his body.
But he also knew that if he delayed it any longer, his chance of survival would become increasingly slim.
After the distance was widened, he didn't hesitate at all, and his light blue wind-based fighting spirit surged. The phantom of the poisonous snake condensed behind him became more ferocious and solid, and he suddenly entered a state of full violence.
He knew very well that if he was angry with all his strength, he might be stabbed to death by the "hidden weapon"; but if he didn't do this, he would also be boiled to death by a frog boiled in warm water!
The big thief chose the former without hesitation.
Fighting for one's life, it's not like I haven't won before!
After the fighting spirit surged, the dagger in his hand also had a powerful aura, and a three-finger-wide aura condensed on the edge. He kicked the ground fiercely, and with a "swish" sound, he rushed towards his opponent again.
"I'm going to fight for my life."
Ren looked at the aura on the dagger, his eyes full of solemnity, but without any fear, he punched forward.
He knew that this was the time to decide the winner.
The two were fighting fiercely again in the blink of an eye, their figures intertwined, yellow sand filled the sky, and blood splattered all over the ground.
Both sides are trading lives for lives. The bet is who will die first and who will be afraid of death.
Fortunately, Ren had a pair of famous boxing gloves that were not afraid of being cut. Otherwise, if he had to use his physical fist to block this sharp dagger that could easily cut stone and gold, his fingers would have been cut off countless times.
There were more and more wounds on Ren's body. Even if he tried his best to dodge, in the end, except for fatal wounds, he almost had no extra "gang thread" to suture.
But Chilos was even worse. The longer time passed, the lower his chance of survival became.
Renn's impeccable handling did not give the enemy a chance to fight for his life.
After all, the "slender needle" wandering in the body still caused bad consequences because of the full force of the anger. After fighting hard for a long time and failing to defeat Ren, Chiros already knew that he would die if he delayed any longer. Then when he was anxious, he tried to use some secret technique to violently attack. However, he didn't expect that the fighting energy poured out like a pillar, and even the body-protecting fighting energy collapsed. Then he was hit hard by Ren's fist, and he vomited blood and died.
Just like that, [Ghost Shadow] Chiros, the infamous captain of the 16th division of the "Black Skull Phantom Thieves", died in this desert, at the hands of a second-level extraordinary.
Although Ren had the advantage of the "Fine Hair Needle", a rare weapon, he was a second-level extraordinary and single-handedly killed the [Ghost Shadow] Chiros, who was extremely fearful of even high-level extraordinary beings. This achievement is absolutely beyond anyone's imagination.
Calculation, equipment, luck... are also part of strength.
... .
Catherine and her party were delayed for a moment because they encountered an assassin's sniper attack on the road.
When everyone from the Chamber of Commerce rushed over, the battle was over.
They were looking at Ren, who was covered in blood, sitting on the sand and breathing heavily, using surgical needles and thread to suture the wounds on his body.
At that scene, everyone had dumbfounded shock on their faces, and they were speechless for a long time.
