Ling Yuandu is in an unfavorable situation.
He didn't know why things had turned out like this.
Originally, it shouldn't be like this!
When they found that Harvest Castle had begun to search for them, they thought that Moonlight might have leaked the information to Harvest Castle. They immediately moved away and disguised themselves so that Harvest Castle could not find them for the time being.
Just as Yue Guang guessed, Ling Yuandu already had a grudge against Yue Guang, and now her actions only added fuel to the fire. These people were not easy to deal with, and being forced into a desperate situation only made them more vicious. At this moment, Ling Yuandu decided not to dodge anymore, but to hunt Yue Guang instead.
His plan was to hunt Moonlight to get revenge and to attract the fortress's attention so that he could escape in the chaos.
To this end, he mobilized all the resources and connections he could use in Harvest Castle and finally locked on Moonlight. What surprised him a little was that Moonlight actually had dinner with Tianyang.
In his impression, the woman had never been nice to other men, let alone dated young men alone.
But this is good news for him.
Because Yue Guang was not with the others, as for Tian Yang, he had met him that day, but they did not fight. I think Tian Yang is so young, no matter how high his fighting ability is, it is limited.
Even so, Ling Yuan was still very careful and assumed that Tianyang was a master of rank 5. To him, being able to reach rank 5 at the age of 18 or 19 like Tianyang was definitely a genius.
And because they were out for dinner, neither of them had weapons with them, so Ling Yuandu personally called Yue Guang and asked Zhan Gui to deal with Tian Yang. He then ordered other men to occupy the commanding heights nearby to harass and intercept them to prevent the two from breaking through.
He patiently lay in ambush on the path that Moonlight must pass through, and when Moonlight passed by, his quietly accumulated strength instantly exploded. In Ling Yuandu's calculations, even if this knife did not kill Moonlight, it would at least severely injure this woman. At worst, it would be able to gain an advantage at the beginning.
Unexpectedly.
The sword that was originally going to hit the moonlight, for some unknown reason, could not hit it. It was like a galaxy was lying between the two of them, and the distance was so great that it made people despair.
After the failure, Ling Yuan quickly adjusted his mentality and attacked decisively. At the same time, Zhan Gui also took action. At this time, the situation was still in his favor.
However, not long after, War Ghost was killed for no apparent reason. He seemed to be targeted by the god of bad luck, and in the following fights, he repeatedly made mistakes that shouldn't have happened.
That would be fine, sometimes he would even be absent-minded for a moment, and sometimes he would make wrong judgments. These small mistakes were nothing at first, but as they happened more and more, his flaws became bigger and bigger.
The moonlight created wounds on his body one after another, and Ling Yuan felt something was wrong the more he fought. He did not dare to hesitate, and immediately took out an item that could be quickly transferred, but at this moment, it was swept by a wisp of sword wind from the moonlight, and the item instantly slipped out of his hand.
When he wanted to pick it up, Yue Guang probably guessed what it was, and he unleashed his sword force, attacking like a violent storm, forcing him to defend with all his strength and not daring to distract himself to pick up the thing.
After he withstood Moonlight's attack, he was about to take the opportunity to pick it up, but at this moment, a hand axe flashing with electric light spun and chopped towards him.
“Damn it!”
Ling Yuandu had no choice but to dodge the axe and then planned to burst out with all his strength. He believed that he could do it with his own abilities.
He roared and used all his strength to increase his Star Essence. As he had expected, the Star Essence suddenly surged, and Ling Yuandu jumped high, ready to use his killing move to force the powerful enemy back.
But at this moment.
He suddenly felt that the surging star energy was like a pot of raging fire, and suddenly a bucket of cold water was poured on it. Not only could it not be raised up, but it fell instead.
This sudden change shocked Ling Yuan.
Then a strong light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and the sudden strong light made him unable to open his eyes. Just as everything in front of him turned white, he suddenly felt an indescribable pain, as if he was thrown into a furnace, and the fierce flames burned every part of his body.
The terrible pain made it impossible for him to concentrate, and his mind went blank in an instant.
When the pain subsided and the bright light disappeared, he saw the clear night sky above Harvest Castle. Only then did he realize that he had fallen to the ground. He wanted to get up, but he didn't feel any strength.
What’s more terrifying is that he began to have difficulty breathing and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
What happened
This was his last thought.
Moonlight walked over and looked at Ling Yuandu lying on the ground, and looked at the cut on his neck. It was one of the few places on his body that was not protected by the fighting spirit.
She couldn't help but look at Tianyang.
Tianyang was shaking off the blood on the hatchet. He thought it was quite useful and planned to put it in his pocket.
Just now.
When Ling Yuandu was about to explode, Tianyang first used the original furnace's "weakness" to make Ling Yuandu's rising star essence suddenly plummet. Then he activated the "flash" ring, releasing strong light and interfering with Ling Yuandu and Yueguang's vision. In this way, they would not see Tianyang releasing the "touch of pain" towards Ling Yuandu.
Being entangled by those shadow-like tentacles, Ling Yuandu immediately felt the greatest pain in his life. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tianyang used "distance control" to close in, and while Ling Yuandu was in confusion, he used his hand axe to wipe his throat.
The sword rubbed the unprotected part, causing this strong man to die on the spot.
Footsteps came from a distance, and at the same time, Tianyang felt several strong auras approaching here at high speed. Obviously, their battle had attracted the attention of the officials of Harvest Castle.
"Go!"
Tianyang pulled Yueguang's hand without saying a word, his figure flashed, and he dragged Yueguang forward at high speed and disappeared on the spot.
A moment later.
A figure first appeared on the street that had become a battlefield. He was a tall old man with white hair and beard and bronze skin. Although he was old, he gave people the feeling that he was not easy to mess with. As if he could knock down a group of people at any time, this old man with a strong smell walked around the spot for a few times, and finally looked at Ling Yuandu's body in silence.
The expression on Ling Yuandu's face still maintained surprise and confusion, as if he would never know until his death how he lost his life in such a place.
At this time, another man wearing glasses and long clothes, exuding a cautious aura, came out. When he saw the old man, he put his hand on his chest and said respectfully, "Master Melati, you are here too?"
He had no choice but to show respect, for the man in front of him was none other than the commander of the city defense of Harvest Castle.
The battle that happened next time actually alarmed him.
The old man named Melati hummed, and looked at Ling Yuandu's body and said, "This guy has fought with two people successively. Most of the wounds on his body are sword wounds, but the fatal wound is obviously not. The wound is large and deep. It should be that his throat was cut by a weapon such as a hand axe."
The man with glasses looked at the other corpse, at the corpse of the War Ghost, and he said, "I know this man. He is a fortress, good at providing himself with multiple layers of protection. Without any worries, he will attack his opponent crazily. I didn't expect that such a difficult person would die here."
He squatted down beside the corpse, examined it carefully, and then frowned and said, "Strange, it seems that the War Ghost's defense was broken by someone. But the power that broke through his defense did not come from outside, but more like an explosion from within him."
Melati walked over and saw that the armor on the War Ghost's chest exploded. Judging from the cracks on all sides, it was just as his subordinates said, it was blown apart by a force erupting from within.
but.
The fatal wound was a dagger in the chest.
"He was able to kill the war ghost with just a short sword. This murderer is too scary."
The man with glasses stood up. At this moment, footsteps were heard again. A woman in tight clothes came nearby. When she saw Melati, she called out softly, then put her hand on her chest and said respectfully, "Master Melati, Commander Yang Fan, your subordinate Yingxue has something to report."
The bronze-skinned old man said calmly, "Go ahead."
The woman named Yingxue immediately replied: "We checked all around and found that there were gunmen ambushing on the surrounding high ground, and there was also a hunter. But without exception, they were all killed."
"In addition, we have confirmed with nearby businesses and passers-by that the two parties in the fight are the human traffickers we are looking for, and the other is a man and a woman. However, their identities need further investigation."
The bespectacled man Yang Fan exclaimed, "What, only two people? This Ling guy only tried to deal with two people, but not only did he fail, he was also killed by them?"
Melati frowned and said, "Take the body away and let the forensic doctor examine it carefully. Also, don't make a big fuss about this matter. Just keep it light, simple, and low-key."
"I know what to do, sir." Yang Fan's eyes flashed and he nodded.
"Then I'll go back first." The old man in wide-leg pants walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back.
After he left, Yingxue whispered, "Such a big thing happened, why did Lord Melati choose to handle it in a low-key manner?"
Yang Fan smiled, but his expression became a little serious: "Because now, the city lord has issued a ban. If there is a fight in the city, both parties involved will be held accountable. At the very least, they will be driven out of the fortress, and at the worst, they will be detained and used as sacrifices."
"But there were only two of them. Despite being surrounded by Ling Yuandu's gang, they managed to escape safely and left us with a pile of corpses. What does this mean? It means they are not easy to mess with."
Yingxue suddenly realized, "So that's what's going on. Lord Melati is worried that we might clash with these two and cause casualties."
"yes."
"These human traffickers deserve to die anyway. Lord Melati naturally doesn't want us to get hurt or even lose our lives because of them."
Yang Fan exhaled: "To be honest, I'm already beginning to miss the old days. How did our fortress become like this now..."
