Buckle buckle —
This is the sound of boots hitting the ground. It is not heavy or powerful, but it rings clearly in everyone's ears.
The strange thing is that if you listen for a long time, even your heartbeat will unconsciously synchronize with it.
The first one to notice it was Gu Ge. A silver light rose in the man's eyes, and the strange ability that affected the heartbeat in the footsteps disappeared.
Even so, Gu Ge was still extremely alert, because he knew that the other party did not do it on purpose.
Just the unconscious radiation of ability can give him such supernatural powers. It is no exaggeration to say that the strength of this person in front of him is the most powerful he has ever seen in his life!
When the other party walked into the assembly area and was exposed to the light of the lighting, everyone saw that there was a phantom overlapping with this person.
This shadow was very similar to the Deep Knight, tall and ferocious. On the black-purple helmet was a visor like a demon, with purple-red light shining through the gaps in the visor, leaving patches of purple-red halos as it looked around, which lingered for a long time.
The body was covered in armor that was so thick that it was hopelessly heavy. Even the most careful person could not find a single gap. It was as if the armor was directly embedded in the body, and all the joints were tightly stitched. From some overlapping parts, it could be seen that the armor was not just one layer!
The surface of the armor has strange and tense lines, which form flamboyant and gorgeous patterns. These complex patterns are often dotted with dark gems and some tiny crystals. These decorations sometimes flash and emit strange fluctuations. Obviously, they are not just decorations.
This phantom, which resembled a dark knight, seemed to be substantial from the head to the chest, and between the spikes of the armor, there was a dark purple aura lingering.
But below the chest, the shape began to fade, and even the tips of the thick long swords held in each of the phantom's hands also faded into nothingness.
This demon-like shadow overlapped with the figure of the person who came, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other. And the mysterious person surrounded by the shadow was surrounded by black mist!
It was as if all the black fog in this space had gathered around him. The dark fog obscured his entire body, leaving only the crystal mask on his face slightly clear.
As for the rest of the parts, people could only barely see an outline, like looking at flowers in the fog.
The black fog was surging and rolling around him. As the mysterious man walked, the dark and thick fog was flying and swirling behind him, like a black flag fluttering in the wind!
Ten meters away from the Xie and Bai families' teams, the mysterious man stopped and a deep, illusory voice that seemed to come from afar rang out from the mask: "Who wanted to keep the Bai family's people just now? Stand up and see if I can afford to offend you!"
Hearing this, Bai Yinglan showed joy on his face, but Guge's heart sank.
Some are happy while others are sad.
This person's words have already made his position clear, but Guge thought through the information in his mind and couldn't find a person who matched the name.
Who is this mysterious person? When did the Bai family get to know such a person? It seems that the intelligence department of his fortress should be greatly rectified.
This man's shadows overlap and he's surrounded by black mist. Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell that he's not someone you'll want to mess with.
The Bai family has such a strong man as a friend, but the intelligence department of Black Star Castle has no news at all. Gu Ge wants to call the intelligence director over and burn him to death!
Taking a deep breath, Gu Ge said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is?"
There was a pair of dark pupils in the mask, with a gaze as sharp as lightning and swords, looking over fiercely.
Gu Ge felt a stinging pain in his eyelids, and quickly lowered his head to avoid the sharp light. At the same time, he was secretly surprised that these eyes seemed too bright and very young
At this time, the mysterious man's illusory voice sounded in his ears: "You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that the Bai family is my friend. If you want to keep them, ask me first if I agree."
As if sensing the mysterious man's high fighting spirit, the dark shadow also leaned forward slightly, with two long swords raised at an angle, and a purple-red light shone brightly in the visor!
Beads of sweat appeared on Guge's forehead. As the Heart of Elements, he was naturally much more sensitive to star essence and even all energy than other classes.
Now that he was face to face with that man, how could Guge miss the opportunity to sense the other party's fighting strength
However, as soon as he sensed the black fog around the other person, he felt an empty feeling. It seemed that the person in the fog was very weak, so weak that he could not feel any fighting power.
If he closed his eyes, Guge would feel that he was facing nothing but emptiness.
However, nothingness does not necessarily mean weakness. Sometimes, nothingness may represent an endless abyss.
Because the abyss is as deep as the ocean, my perception is so limited that I can’t feel anything at all!
Capture Bai Yinglan, lure Bai Shengjie into the trap, and complete the assassination mission.
All of this is tempting, but it depends on what price you have to pay. If there is no mysterious person in front of you, even if you consume a secret treasure, it is worth it.
But now, even if he used up the secret treasure, Guge was not sure he could kill this man.
It is more likely that because of a reckless decision of his own, the team will be wiped out!
After careful consideration, Gu Ge gritted his teeth and said, "If I am willing to retreat, will you let us go?"
A laugh rang out from the black fog: "What a joke! Since you have offended the Bai family, you have also offended me. No one has ever been able to get away with offending me without paying any price!"
Gu Ge's heart sank, and he sighed: "I am willing to pay the price for my recklessness. Here is something that is our secret treasure. I am willing to offer it to you, just ask you to let us go."
The man said, "Bring it here and let me see it."
Guge tapped the waist of his armor lightly, and a small storage box opened. He took out a crystal box from it.
When he opened it, he found a bunch of hair of unknown origin in the crystal box. It was long and thin, like a woman's hair, but a strange light flowed through the hair from time to time.
"This secret item is called the Slow Shadow. Once activated, it can interfere with the target and slow down the opponent's movements. It can also be used twice. If used properly, it can help you."
Bai Yinglan and others also stretched their necks. They heard Guge say that it was Chi Ning's shadow, but there was a bunch of hair in the box. The two seemed to be irrelevant. The name and the object were too far apart.
The mysterious man hummed: "It seems that you are still somewhat sincere, so I will accept this thing. Put it on the ground, and go away. Don't let me run into you again in the future!"
Gu Ge closed the box, put it on the ground, took a few steps back, and nodded to Xie Miao and others: "Let's go."
The mysterious man also moved aside to make way. Xie Miao and others did not dare to pass by him and went around him from a distance.
When they reached the steps of the high platform, Gu Ge turned around and said, "May I ask your name, Excellency?"
The mysterious man snorted: "You are not qualified to know!"
Gu Ge's heart skipped a beat, and he was more certain of himself.
This person must be at least a Level 7 expert, otherwise, how could he be so arrogant
He smiled bitterly, turned and left, and soon the Xie family team disappeared outside the door.
At this time, the mysterious man did not move, but the dark shadow bent down, picked up the crystal box on the ground with a long sword, and fell into the black fog.
The mysterious man grabbed it and looked at Bai Yinglan: "Say hello to Bai Lao San for me, he knows who I am."
After saying that, he walked towards the door on the other side of the assembly area without stopping, and his figure disappeared behind the door.
After a while, Xiao Niao patted his chest exaggeratedly: "I was scared to death, I thought it would be a fierce battle. I didn't expect that your Bai family actually knew such a powerful person. Tell me quickly, who is that person?"
Bai Yinglan smiled bitterly: "Don't mention you. I, a member of the Bai family, have never heard of this person. It seems that he should be a close friend of Uncle San. I didn't expect Uncle San to invite such a person to participate in the competition. I guess it's a plan against the Yun family."
The little bird blinked and said, "Then shall we go to the Yun's hunting area?"
Bai Yinglan looked a little strange: "Why are you more concerned about this than I am? You..."
Xiao Niao rushed before him and said, "I just want to see your martial arts fanatic. What do you think? Shall we go?"
Bai Yinglan shook his head: "No, I just wanted to watch the fun. But now, someone is obviously coming for our Bai family, I have to go back and inform Uncle San."
The bird sighed: "Okay, then I'll go back with you."
Bai Yinglan scratched her nose lovingly: "Is it really okay for you to stay with me all day? Be careful or your family will scold you when you go back."
The little bird spread his hands and said, "Who cares? I'll go wherever I want. Unless you chase me away, I'll stay with you."
Bai Yinglan laughed, held Xiaoniao's hand and said, "Let's go. I just happened to bring some delicious food. I'll treat you when we get back."
The bird chuckled and said, "Then I will eat all your food."
Bai Yinglan shook her head and said, "Be careful not to get too fat and not be able to get married."
The two chatted and laughed, and led the team out of the assembly area.
After they left, the mysterious man appeared at the door again. After making sure that everyone had left, the dark shadow above his head disappeared like foam. Even the black fog around him became much thinner, and Tianyang's figure appeared.
Seeing Gu Ge about to take action, Tian Yang was afraid that the bird would be implicated, so he took out the Phantom Skull and released the Phantom to protect his body. He then gathered a large amount of black fog to completely block his own information.
In order to prevent the other party from discovering his identity, Tianyang improvised and fabricated a false identity of a guest of the Bai family. With the help of the aura of the shadow and the mysterious feeling added by the black fog, he subdued Gu Ge in one fell swoop.
Not only did he resolve the crisis for Bai Yinglan and the bird, but he also earned some secret item, which was really killing two birds with one stone.
Looking at the crystal box in his hand, Tianyang guessed that this Chi Ning Shadow should be the same as Ye Chong's flute, both of which are made of some material.
Their function is very similar to the remains of the Black Folk, but I don't feel anything about them, which can only mean that they have other origins.
No matter what, whether it is secret treasures or relics, they can all increase additional combat power.
For Tianyang, the more of these things, the better.
The young man took back the crystal box and was about to return to the base when suddenly the communicator rang. It was an emergency message sent by Yunze!
