[Wiping Throat] is a professional assassin skill, while [Decapitation] is generally a power-based skill that can only be used by warrior-type supernatural beings.
Especially with Ren's current body's super toughness, it would be almost impossible for a fourth-level assassin to cut off his neck with one knife. Even if you are an ordinary fifth level, the extraordinary power system may not be so easy.
Therefore, it is not difficult to guess the identity of the assassin who carried out the assassination.
It must be one of the "Top Ten Legends" active in the Cid Empire, the top assassin who specializes in stealth assassination to the extreme, - [Night Ghost] Roscoe!
... ... .
If it were just a [throat wipe] that cut off the carotid artery and trachea, this would be a fatal move for other extraordinary people, but it wouldn't be a big problem for Ren now.
As long as all the nerves connecting the brain to the body are not severed, he can control the "gang thread" to easily sew his body.
But obviously, the other party came prepared.
The enemy collected intelligence about him in great detail.
After all, when Ren was in Glory City, he had a record of having his throat wiped by an assassin on the street and surviving. Anyone who cares will naturally know that he has a special supernatural ability that can heal fatal wounds.
So this knife directly cut off his neck.
Cutting off the head means completely cutting off the brain's perception of the body's existence.
At this moment, the head was separated from the body, and Renn could not feel the existence of the body at all.
Even though he has a massive amount of Dou Qi Gang lines in his body, he can't sense or control them at all...
There is nothing his healing powers can do.
This is the most fatal injury that Renne has encountered since time travel.
[Decapitation] can make a high-level transcendent with tenacious vitality die in just tens of seconds. Because there are a large number of complex nerves and meridians in the neck, existing medical technology is simply unable to treat such complex fatal injuries.
It stands to reason that with one blow, Renne would be dead.
... ... ..
At the moment when his neck was broken, Renn could clearly feel that his life was being lost crazily.
He also clearly felt that his soul was already light and about to leave his body.
"Is this what death feels like..."
At the last moment of his life, Ren's thoughts were racing in his mind.
At this moment, time seemed to slow down countless times.
In his previous life, he had heard that some dying people could recall almost everything they remembered in this life in just a short moment of life.
It turned out to be true.
In the thin line between life and death, images flashed through his mind like flashes of light.
Renn thought of every bit of time he had traveled through time.
A few years ago, he traveled through this foggy world and encountered the weakest dog and rabbit in the wilderness, which almost cost him his life...
Then came the bloody new training year in the "Weasel Phantom Thieves"...
Then, the "Burning Steel Castle" attacked Baron Morin, obtained the extraordinary potion, and obtained the treasure map...
Battle at Storm Lake, breakout, and encounter the seriously injured Ymir for the first time...
Met Canossa again on the train, Uncle Sam behind...
Again in Glory City, I met Mr. Tust and little Carl who were hiding in the city...
Then there's Udo and the friendly Coleman clan...
Then, "Black Dragon City" finally succeeded in establishing a foothold in the Kalatwa Basin...
There were bumps and bumps along the way, and there were surprises and dangers.
But everything seems to be moving in a good direction.
Although the past few years have been short, Renn feels that the "life" he has traveled through has been exciting enough.
At the last moment of life, the soul enters a mysterious state.
It seemed that he could calm down and recall many things.
Ren knew that this was what the Mafa Great Witch Festival and the others said, the "great realization" between life and death.
Many things that I couldn't figure out before suddenly became clear at this moment.
He didn't panic at all and thought calmly.
It was as if time had stood still.
Do you have any regrets about coming to this world
Of course there is.
We have just had a close relationship with Ymir, and we have a long time to come...
Uduo has completely grown from a beautiful woman to a hot girl full of wild beauty; I was used to it before, but now thinking about it, I seem to be used to having her by my side to take care of her. If she died, that girl would definitely be very sad.
Oh, if I can live, next time I see Canossa, regardless of whether she is beaten or not, I will push her first...
Also, it’s really a pity that I couldn’t advance to the fourth level of extraordinary even before I died.
At this moment, I have clearly touched the threshold that I thought was illusory before.
What is "boxing intention"
Between life and death, Ren had a complete epiphany.
It was like ethereal green smoke sliding through his fingers, gradually condensing into shape, and was firmly grasped in his palm.
The belief that has never wavered in his heart is to become stronger. This is "meaning".
The boxing he wants to understand is the unrivaled boxing in the world.
He wants to be invincible at the same level.
If there is any injustice in my heart, I will break it with one punch.
One day, Ren thought that his punch could penetrate mountains, split seas, and destroy cities... This shows the truth of the world.
One day, he will be invincible.
I have no regrets about this time in this world.
... ... .
Ren's life and death were just a thought, as if a long, long time had passed.
But in reality, only a moment passed.
If he wanted to use a dagger to cut off the physically strong Ren's neck, even a top assassin would have to do it with all his strength.
An assassin's strongest combat power is always only the moment when he lurks and explodes.
He used this momentary burst to attack Renne, which meant that he had left a momentary vulnerability for others to exploit.
Although Renn had no resistance to this sword, it did not mean that Ymir was not around him.
Masters at the same level must compete for every move.
Once a move is made, a move is lost.
At this moment, Ymir's pupils suddenly shrank, and a cold shadow of a god suddenly appeared behind him, and he suddenly entered the "demonic solution" state.
She didn't hesitate at all with the long sword in her hand, she drew it out and stabbed ahead!
At this moment, it was as if the space was frozen by the cold air of the high-level laws, causing the figure who was trying to escape after the invisible assassination to freeze in place.
The assassin's expression suddenly changed. Although he didn't say the words, the meaning he wanted to express was obvious: How could she advance to the legendary level? !
The intelligence force has a very clear description of Ymir's combat power. Her martial arts and sword skills have been secretly passed down by the Omar royal family for hundreds of years... This is not a secret at all to the senior officials of the Cid Empire.
Judging from the comprehensive evaluation, Princess Oma is at the peak of the fifth level.
But now, what did he see
The "Magic Solution" shadow behind her is a real legend!
Originally [Night Ghost] Rothko's assassination plan was perfect.
Thinking that even after completing the assassination, he could leave calmly.
Because there were only three people around Renn.
The mechanic named Tust indeed has legendary and extraordinary combat power. But no matter how flexible the combat mecha is, it is absolutely impossible to catch up with the reaction of a top assassin with full sensitivity.
Although Ymir is strong and legendary, he may be able to hurt him, but he will never be able to keep him...
As for the man in the tuxedo, he didn't have much fighting spirit. He seemed to be a mysterious supernatural being...
Haha, it even prevented him from killing someone!
However, something unexpected happened.
Princess Oma, who has never been seen taking action since the establishment of Black Dragon City, has quietly advanced to the legendary realm
This is completely unrecorded in the intelligence!
And, it’s not over yet!
The Thunder Crow "Pickup" automatically protected the master. The moment the assassin appeared, a billion-volt purple lightning struck out...
For a moment, [Night Ghost] Roscoe felt a strong sense of paralysis rushing through his body.
Although it was not fatal for the time being, it made his body stiff.
For the battle between legendary beings, this moment of stiffness is a fatal flaw.
After Roscoe made this move, he had no chance to make a second move.
The palace thin sword shining with cold light had already pierced his heart. The fighting instinct of a top assassin allowed him to evade at the last moment, avoiding the outcome of being shot through the heart and killed on the spot. But the ice sword still pierced a big hole in the hilt of his sternum!
"Damn it!"
I cursed secretly in my heart.
And just when Rosko's blood spurted out, he thought he was dead.
He was surprised to find that Ymir did not pursue the victory, but caught the star in an instant before it hit the ground, and then installed it on the human fountain!
Moreover, what is even more strange is that he was clearly sure that the person he assassinated was the Black Dragon City Lord Ren, why did the face of the "corpse" change now
He suddenly looked like the young man in a tuxedo who was beside Ren before!
Rosko didn’t know that this was Metternich’s extraordinary ability—[Stand-in Clown]!
In fact, Metternich deduced that this situation would occur when he divined that Renne would encounter a "death disaster" last night.
At the moment when Ren was assassinated, Metternich decisively used his ability.
This [Substitute Clown] not only allows others to die for you, but also allows you to die for others.
Although he is a gambler, he never likes to owe others favors.
I owe Ren my life, and now I can pay it back.
... ... .
Renn clearly felt the feeling of his soul leaving his body and then coming back to his senses instantly.
He looked at the headless body next to him with its neck cut off, and instinctively touched his neck, cold sweat breaking down his back.
At this time, Ymir had already placed Metternich's severed head on his neck, but blood was still pouring out from the wound.
Seeing this, Ren didn't dare to delay at all. He pressed his hands on Metternich's neck wound. Hundreds of angular threads rushed out crazily, shuttling between the broken nerves and blood vessel tissue.
Renn is now so proficient in human body unmasking that he can deal with any kind of injury with ease.
Without any examination at all, he used a strong thread to accurately sew those fatal nerves and blood vessels together in an instant. Then the [Divine Healing Technique] attached to the Gang Thread was poured in crazily, and the broken tissues began to heal visibly to the naked eye.
Miraculously, after only a moment, the decapitated Metternich stopped bleeding.
Then his eyes, which had turned white like dead fish eyes, suddenly regained their vitality.
Although Metternich was not unable to speak for the time being, a smile already appeared on his lips.
Looking at Renn, this guy's eyes were shining.
It’s that familiar confident look, that dopamine-filled look of crazy joy that a gambler gets after winning a life-or-death bet!
Sure enough, the two Joker cards together resolved this fatal situation.
Without Metternich, Renne would probably die today.
Without Ren's healing ability, even if Metternich wanted to return his life today, he would probably have to exchange his life for his life.
After a few breaths, the discomfort in Metternich's throat disappeared, and he seemed to be able to barely speak.
He squinted his eyes, and the first words out of his mouth were not that he was thankful that he had survived, but a meaningful sigh: "Mr. Lane is indeed blessed with great luck."
... ... .
Because Ymir wanted to help Renn rescue the decapitated Metternich, the seriously injured [Night Ghost] Rosko also took the opportunity to escape for a distance.
Obviously, the enemy's assassination methods don't stop there.
Renn was concentrating on treating Metternich and could not be distracted.
This guy's cervical vertebra has been severed. The bone healing is much more difficult than the skin, and it takes more time.
The two of them just stood there, not even daring to move.
But at this moment, mysterious hexagram magic arrays were suddenly discovered around them.
Judging from the mystery of the magic pattern, it is at least five rings of magic.
And this is not elemental magic, but mental power fluctuations.
"Concretization of the mind? Hehe... [The Great Illusionist] Friedrich is here too."
Metternich's nose slightly opened and he snorted coldly.
Obviously, he recognized the performer of this method, but a scornful smile escaped from the corner of his mouth: "It's true that we are enemies."
Ren's thoughts moved slightly as he listened, but he continued the suturing operation without any delay in his hands.
[Great Illusionist] Friedrich is a worshiper of the First Court of Sid, a mysterious illusionist, and one of the "Top Ten Legends"!
Legend has it that he can materialize the thoughts in his mind with his mental power. ,
To put it more simply, whatever he thinks in his mind will be the reality.
It's said to be an illusion, but his mental spells can cause real harm to people.
This ability is very weird!
And what Ren didn't know was that Metternich's teacher, the previous gambler Olatou K. Kant, died at the hands of this guy.
... ... .
The moment those magic patterns appeared, Renn felt that the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
As if the stars had changed, the environment outside the palace hall turned into an altar full of purple light magic patterns.
There was no one around, and the sky was filled with stars.
On the huge altar, only Ren and Metternich were left alone.
The next moment, murderous intentions followed one after another.
There was no chanting, just a moment of thought, and four large flaming snakes tens of meters long appeared on the altar. They raised their tongues and spit out black flames so thick that the void was distorted.
Before the black flames sprayed out, Renn felt a sharp sting that felt like his skin was being burned.
He knew it was a fantasy, but the burning pain was real and felt on his body.
However, Renn did not panic at all. Because the wound in his hand was being stitched up, Metternich had his signature squinting fox smile on his face.
"This really doesn't take my 'Gambler Sequence' lineage into consideration at all."
Metternich muttered to himself.
Although he couldn't move his neck, the nerves connected were enough for him to control his body.
At the moment when the flames spurted out, Metternich suddenly threw a pair of gold playing cards into the air.
A surprising scene appeared...
As soon as those golden pokers appeared, the intense burning sensation disappeared instantly.
Moreover, what surprised Ren even more was that he looked at the guards on the four "JAKE cards" and turned into four burly armored knights. They held knives and axes and chopped the four flaming snakes into several pieces in a blink of an eye.
The four "Queen Cards Q", four "King Cards K", and the number card A-10 also came to life and turned into magicians, hunters, knights, guards, and musketeers. . .
A deck of cards suddenly turned into an army!
And on the altar, the murderous intentions don't stop there.
Four tongues of fire were killed, and countless terrifying monsters suddenly appeared...
As soon as the two sides met, they fought fiercely.
Hail, wind blades, magma, flames, darkness... all kinds of gorgeous fifth-level magics are clashing fiercely in this special illusion space, as if there are no restrictions at all.
If it were Metternich before last night, against this veteran "Top Ten Legend" who once defeated his teacher, the outcome might be 40 or 60.
But now... .
Maybe 50 to 50, maybe 6 to 4, maybe 3 to 7...
With Ren's "colorful JOKER card" by his side, although the enemy was strong, Metternich didn't have the slightest feeling on his face that he would lose.
It was also the first time for Renn to see the battle between two top-level mysterious supernatural beings, and he felt that it was eye-opening and brilliant.
... ... .
Here comes Roscoe, the [Night Ghost] who is active in the Cid Empire, and there is also a Cid court dedicated to [The Great Illusionist] Friedrich.
A physics department and a mystery department.
Two "Top Ten Legends" are here.
This lineup is almost enough to assassinate anyone.
Renn also understood clearly that the "death disaster" in the divination turned out not to come from the evil god, but from the Sid Empire.
The reason for this can be understood with a little thought.
The location of "Black Dragon Pass" is exactly within the territory of Sid.
The rise of Black Dragon City will naturally have the greatest impact on the Cid Empire.
For the Cid Empire, after all, Omar and the Empire had been together for thousands of years. Although it was a serious problem, there was nothing they could do about it in a short time.
The two empires are like two evenly matched competitors in a boxing ring. Everyone knows the ins and outs and survives under the same rules.
But the Black Dragon City that emerged out of nowhere was different. It broke the original rules of competition.
Black Dragon City does not have the ability to generate blood of its own, but instead frantically absorbs resources from the outside world.
In just a year or so, it has been devouring Sid's foundation crazily in a way that is more like a "vampire" than a vampire.
The democratic system of Black Dragon City is simply a disaster for the "half-slave and half-feudal" monarchical centralized system of the two empires.
It can be said that if Black Dragon City is allowed to develop, Sid will be the first to collapse.
Sid's intelligence department collected more targeted intelligence.
They knew that the most critical person in the establishment of Black Dragon City was Renn.
Kill him and nip that emerging city in the bud.
... ... .
Ren was watching two legendary bosses clashing mental spells in the illusion, but he didn't know that it was even more lively outside.
It turns out that Sid has not just two "Top Ten Legends" coming, but three!
There is another one, stronger!
Just when Renn and Metternich were trapped in a mental illusion, black bats the size of a palm flew in the sky, densely packed with tens of thousands of them. They quickly condensed into a vampire wearing a red cloak with a black face, thick black eyes, and scarlet blood lips. , looks charming.
This is clearly the old monster of the Sid Empire who has lived for who knows how many years, the "Blood Ancestor" Lilith Dracula!
