Chapter 379 Black Knife Squad

The boatman obviously knew the situation of the black market waterway and the means of ambushing the group of people in secret.

If he took action, he would never give the target a chance to survive.

So the "thirty seconds" he told Ji Xun was not a deliberate threat.

But after passing this area of ​​water, they would enter the enemy's ambush circle.

By then, even if they wanted to leave, it would be too late.

Ji Xun listened and still thought about it without expressing his opinion.

Hearing the [Gray Fog Relic] in his hands, he would not just give it to a guy of unknown origin.

And the boatman's motives were mysterious, and what he said was not entirely true.

Ji Xun was not so easy to trust people.

Hearing the deal the boatman said, Ji Xun remained calm on the surface, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his tone: "Why do you think I will easily believe you? Or, before saying these words, should you first introduce yourself?"

Before entering the black market, Ji Xun thought about being robbed by black.

So no matter what kind of robbers he encountered, he would not be surprised.

On the contrary, it was a surprise to meet such a guy who could perfectly control the human puppet.

"I just kindly reminded you."

The boatman also heard the other party's distrust, and his tone became more urgent, and there was a little anger in his heart: This guy is so stupid, how dare he come to the black market in Jidao City alone?

But this is the only chance he has to safely touch the photo after staring at it for so long.

He must not give up.

The boatman did not want to reveal his identity, and said: "There are still five seconds now. Think about it, once the boat passes the corner of the river, I can't save you!"

Ji Xun didn't take it seriously at all, and continued to test: "So, who are you?"

He also saw that the photo seemed to be really important to this guy.

Human nature is also difficult to hide at this time.

So Ji Xun also jokingly wondered if the other party had the awareness to gamble his life for the photo?

The boatman was asked with anger: "You"

If he didn't take action here, he would be attacked from all sides, and he really wanted to rob it directly.

But this thought flashed and was suppressed.

His intuition told him that something was wrong.

In fact, it was not that Ji Xun was deliberately hesitating.

But from the moment the boatman said that his purpose was to come for the photo, Ji Xun deduced another possibility in his mind: this guy was tricked.

The black-toothed old woman sold the photo to him just now, and she did intend to treat him as a fat sheep;

But. She might not have planned to lure out the puppeteer behind the boatman.

The facts soon proved that he was right.

The boatman failed to convince Ji Xun after all.

The sampan quickly turned the corner of the dark river and came to an empty cave space.

The "boatman" knew that his chance had been lost, and he didn't speak again in a dull voice, and cursed: "Stupid!"

Ji Xun didn't intend to argue with a puppet, and sat on the boat leisurely.

At this moment, without any warning, a murderous intent made his brows stern: "Toxin?"

Ji Xun didn't see the enemy, nor did he notice anything unusual, but he sensed a fatal crisis.

Thinking about the conventional card master's methods, it is most likely a toxin attack.

He was wearing a gas mask, so it was possible that the skin pores could absorb special poisons.

"There's something to it."

Ji Xun looked at it for a while but didn't recognize what kind of poison it was. He thought it was some secret formula.

He didn't use the energy to isolate the surrounding space, which would let the enemy know at a glance that they were discovered.

He just controlled the repulsive force to slightly isolate everything on the surface of the skin.

The sampan continued to move forward, and the sound of water rushed into his ears.

Ji Xun's current "intention" is already very outstanding among the fifth level, especially the malicious perception is already very sharp.

After carefully sensing it, he found the enemy lurking in the water, the breath on the dark rock wall was also strange, and there was an assassin hiding in the dark.

The breath of several people was hidden very well. If the distance was not very close, it would be really difficult to find.

This feeling is right!

It was the feeling of the four-man team that came to kill him in the Innocence City.

This is the suffocating feeling unique to the elite killer organization.

Professional, well-trained, and kill with one blow.

Ji Xun sensed the cold malice gradually approaching his neck like a blade, and his expression under the gas mask was already playful.

It was because the enemy was strong that he aroused his desire to fight.

Suddenly!

The enemy moved!

Without any warning, a wave of waves quietly rippled in the air.

The rhythm was just covered by the waves caused by the boatman rowing, and it was as weak as a breeze hitting the neck.

Ji Xun noticed it, but he didn't think the attack was really fatal to him, so he didn't rush to move.

At this moment, the other person was faster!

Seeing him being attacked, the "boatman" finally took action.

Once the "outsider" in front of him was killed, it was unknown when he would have such a good opportunity to touch the photo again.

Even if it was risky, he had to try!

The boatman grabbed with one hand, and several crystal silk threads suddenly appeared in the void.

As the thread between his fingers was pulled, a sharp sound like metal was cut into it, and a hooded killer wearing a black tight leather jacket was pulled out of stealth mode out of thin air.

Ji Xun watched the boatman "rescue" him, and finally confirmed that this guy was not in the same group as the killer.

But similarly, watching the boatman take action, a strange laugh of surprise and joy rang out in the darkness: "Spider Cut? Hehe, I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain, Rennie, you finally showed up!"

When Ji Xun heard the name, he searched his memory and didn't match any master of the East Wilderness.

But there was no threat in the first place, so he acted very calmly.

The body shook slightly, which was also a conditioned reflex of being late to the assassination.

The "boatman" on the other side seemed a little flustered.

The sneer in the dark made him realize instantly that this might be a killing game against him!

When he thought of this, a card that had been prepared for a long time suddenly appeared in the boatman's hand and activated.

The moment the card collapsed, a hexagram formation appeared out of thin air.

A huge wooden box appeared on the boat, and it seemed that it wanted to cover the two people and the boat together.

Ji Xun looked at the method and his eyes lit up: "The secret of the trick. Tras's magic box?"

He had seen this secret spell of the [Trickster] sequence in a certain book.

It is said that this is a magical trick that can move through space.

Ji Xun has now touched the threshold of the law of space and vaguely understood the doorway of this spell.

It is a bit like a teleportation array. If you are covered by the magic box, you may be able to move to another set coordinate point.

It seems that the "boatman" had this idea before.

But it's a pity.

It was the first contact, and Ji Xun didn't know who was behind the boatman and what means he had.

But as a black knife killer of the Orlan Royal Court Special Service Group, he knew the means of tracking the target very well.

Seeing the moment the magic box appeared, the person in the dark was already prepared and sneered: "Haha, want to leave? Not that easy!"

Before the magic box completely covered the boat, a green ghost fire instantly burned the box with a "swish".

At the same time, someone shouted: "Seal this area of ​​water! The guy's body is nearby!"

As soon as the voice fell, no one knew what means the other party used, the water element in the dark river strangely condensed into a barrier.

In just a moment, the water flowing in the river immediately turned into a pool of stagnant water.

Ji Xun only glanced at it and murmured: "Water prison barrier?"

Sure enough, they were assassins trained by the same organization.

The tactics are all linked together.

Although it is not a space law disaster like [Monet's Sunrise], Ji Xun estimated that it is also a rare high-level relic.

"At least three assassins. A fourth-level [Assassin]? The one who uses poison should be [Three of Hearts-Potion Apprentice], and there is a fifth-level who controls the water element, most likely [Element Manipulator]. Hey, didn't the black-toothed old woman from the black market come? She is obviously very strong."

In just a moment of fighting, Ji Xun had seen through the assassin's tactics.

However, from the current point of view, these guys are all using the secret teachings of the Oran royal family, and their strength is quite strong.

The strength of this group is enough to kill a fifth-level normally.

The three people who set up an ambush in the dark probably thought that this fat sheep has been trapped, and it would not be too late to deal with it later.

When they accidentally discovered the big fish named "Raini", they immediately turned their firepower.

Except for the increasingly strong poison, Ji Xun did not feel any murderous intent targeting him.

On the other side, a cloud of water mist suddenly exploded underwater.

Ji Xun watched a guy wearing a shark skin cloak being forced out of the water.

At the same time, the river water burned and turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"This guy has a very good understanding of the laws of elements."

Ji Xun looked at the spell that made the water burn, and immediately recognized that this was another lost secret spell that was only seen in the classics [Reversal Spell·Water Burning Secret].

It was a bit like water decomposing hydrogen and oxygen, achieving the effect of elemental transformation, which made the water burn.

As soon as Raini was forced out, the poisonous dagger of the blade dancer stabbed him.

A dark red short sword was waved in the air, and a phantom appeared. Hundreds of shadow sword blades were impenetrable, forcing Raini to have nowhere to hide.

He is so good at using the dagger, he is not an ordinary assassin.

Ji Xun finally confirmed the career sequence of that person, thinking: "It turns out that he is not an [Assassin], but a blade dancer of the [Ace of Diamonds-Warrior] sequence."

The weapon specialization sequence can bring the power of the weapon to the extreme.

However, the strange thing is that although it seems that he has stabbed, there is no blood.

Instead, sparks fly, and only the sound of "clang, clang, clang" of metal touching can be heard.

Ji Xun took a look and found that part of the body of Reni was made of metal. His eyes lit up: "Huh, mechanical prosthesis?"

It is not the external mechanical arm seen in the outside world,

but a mechanical prosthesis!

Before he could see what happened clearly, Reni took out two cards with his other hand and exploded, and ten puppets with strange smiles appeared around him.

Seeing this method, Ji Xun's pupils shrank slightly, and he finally confirmed something: "It is indeed the [Magician] sequence. What is the relationship between this guy and Domingo?"

There are indeed some puppet masters in the East Desert.

But the way Reni controls the puppets is exactly the same as that of the "God of Play" Domingo.

The two must have some relationship!

Originally, Reni was at a disadvantage in numbers.

But when this puppet appeared, it sprayed water, fire, poison gas, and mechanisms.

The disadvantage was reversed in an instant.

Looking again, there is more than one mechanical prosthetic leg in Reni's body.

From time to time, this guy stretched out some mechanical arms from under his cloak, or held a shield or a sword, or conjured up some miniature missiles and swished around.

This is not a traditional juggler, but a juggler who is proficient in mechanical technology!

Not to mention, Ji Xun found it refreshing to see it, and was amazed in his heart: "It's interesting. This guy transformed his body into a mechanical puppet?"

Unfortunately, the Black Knife Assassins obviously know all the means available to their targets.

At this moment, an "acid bottle" suddenly dropped from under the rock wall that he was staring at.

The sound of crackling glass was heard, and yellow-brown corrosive acid immediately covered a large area where Reni was.

Once a puppet is summoned in the puppet control room, displacement is a fatal shortcoming.

The [Magic Master] hiding in the dark had obviously expected this.

This stream of acid bottles was covered indiscriminately, and only a corrosive sound of "hiss, hiss" could be heard.

In the yellow mist, the originally majestic puppets were instantly corroded until they were full of potholes, and were scrapped on the spot. Reni cursed secretly: "Damn it!"

He used the cover of several cannonballs and rushed towards the rock wall above his head. He seemed to want to deal with the sneak attack of the potion master first.

Unfortunately, the team members of the Black Knife Organization cooperated extremely well, and the Blade Dancer stuck to them like a shadow.

In just a blink of an eye, the battle became intense.

Originally, this section of the underground river was restricted by the barrier. The two sides clashed with each other, and the waves immediately became turbulent.

Ji Xun was teetering on the boat.

Seeing that the other party would not die for a while, he watched with interest.

Originally, I wanted to see the excitement and assess the strength of both parties.

But obviously, both sides of the battle are veterans, how could they ignore him?

Reni could no longer hide his anger in his heart at this moment. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at a guy sitting on the boat watching the theater and roared in his heart: "Why doesn't that guy take action? What on earth is he thinking!"

If it weren't for my own skills, I would have died several times just now.

damn it!

How could I meet such stupid teammates!

In Reni's opinion, people who dare to go to the black market alone to buy things must be somewhat capable.

Definitely not bad at scheming either.

He originally took the risk to save people, thinking that this "outsider" could at least hold back one killer, so that his situation would be much better.

Unexpectedly, this guy has been fighting for so long and has no intention of interfering at all.

He even suspected that the person in front of him was not an outsider who came to the black market to hunt for goods at all, but a bait to lure him to show up.

But it’s not right!

Just now, he was sure that the person with the black knife wanted to kill him, so he took action.

That "outsider" is definitely not from the Black Knife organization.

But why.

Reni couldn't figure out which link went wrong.

On the other side, several people from the Black Knife Organization were equally puzzled.

They watched Lenny save the man and thought the two were accomplices.

Unexpectedly, after fighting for a long time, the guy had no intention of helping at all?

Frightened?

Absolutely impossible!

No matter how weird it looks.

For those uncertain factors, they choose to actively eliminate them.

Soon the acid spread from the river.

Ji Xun took the boat and was instantly melted like chocolate.

It was impossible to sit on the boat, so he stood on the water while controlling his energy.

But as soon as his feet almost touched the water, he seemed to have discovered something. He smacked his lips and muttered to himself: "Why are you so anxious to trouble me if you can't just fight with us?"

The fifth-level element manipulator was very capable. Not only did he use exquisite elemental spells, he forced Reni to retreat steadily.

He can also transform himself into an elemental state to avoid damage.

From the very beginning, he has been melting into a water element and hiding in the water, which also evaded most of the attacks from Lenny's puppet.

Normally, card masters of the same level would have a headache when encountering this elemental state that is almost completely immune to physical attacks.

Not only can't I hit him, I can't even see anyone there.

However, when Ji Xun looked at the river water at his feet, he could clearly feel the "qi".

Although it has become elemental, it still requires magic power to maintain it.

In the eyes of Ji Xun, a high-level qigong master, this river is very different from the river water in other places.

He clearly felt that the water with a radius of dozens of square meters under his feet had flowing Qi.

This is the guy who's elementalized and hiding in the water.

Originally, even if it was discovered, it would be difficult for anyone to harm the vital parts of a body covering dozens of square meters.

But when Ji Xun saw this, he frowned.

He lowered his eyebrows and looked at the moment when two arms emerged from the water under his feet, trying to pull him into the water, and a sharpness suddenly shot out of his eyes.

"Ba Fist·Diming!"

Like lightning, a strange ripple formed on his fist, and he punched the water.

Ji Xun punched the water.

The fist did not penetrate the water, but seemed to use the entire nearby large area of ​​water as a mirror, and punched the surface.

At this moment, time seemed to pause for a second.

Both sides in the distant battle felt the sudden burst of terrifying aura.

Before they could understand what was happening.

There was only a "click" sound like a shattering mirror ringing in my ears.

Several pairs of eyes looked straight at him, and spider web-like cracks appeared on Ji Xun's fist.

The crack suddenly exploded with the fist as the center.

The next moment, there was a sound of a water ball exploding, and the water surface within a radius of dozens of meters exploded.

At the same time, something seemed to be blown up in the water, and the originally dark blue river water was stained with a cloud of blood mist.

Ji Xun retracted his fist, glanced at the seriously injured guy who escaped, and did not chase him.

The exploded water droplets fell on the water surface.

This punch seemed to force the pause button on the battle not far away.

The picture froze on the spot.

The two sides who were fighting fiercely were stunned and stiff, and they all looked over.

"This"

Rennie's eyes widened, as if his brain did not accept the picture in front of him.

Just now, he was preparing to use the last means of life-saving to escape, but he did not expect that the situation of inevitable defeat would be reversed?

You know, the guy who was seriously injured just now is unknown to others, but he knows.

That is Marika, the cadre of the Black Knife Organization, the "Wind and Rain Master"!

This is the notorious A-class wanted criminal in the black market, a veteran assassin. He was actually hit hard by a punch?

And!

What kind of punch can severely injure a card master in the elemental state?

Divine power!

With Rennie's knowledge, he realized that the punch was definitely not ordinary.

He suddenly realized that he was wrong just now.

He was very wrong!

It's not that this "outsider" didn't want to help, but that the reason why this guy was watching the show was because he never took the killers of the Black Knife Organization seriously!

Hiss.

When Rennie thought of this, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air in his heart: That guy is so strong!

At the same time, he recalled the previous conversation, and then he understood why he always felt that the guy's reaction was almost "stupid".

Now it seems that it's not that the other party can't figure it out, but that he has the ability to control the whole scene from beginning to end!

He was also glad that he didn't forcefully take him away just now.

When Rennie thought of this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because at this time, he had matched the person in front of him with a certain S-class wanted criminal on the wanted list.

After recognizing the identity, the biggest risk has been eliminated.

At least he is not an enemy.

However, on the other side, the Black Blade and his men all had a completely different idea: they should not attack.

They did not expect that the fat sheep they thought was actually this ruthless killer.

When Ji Xun was in Innocence City before, the assassination team led by a sixth-level card master came to trouble him.

There are only two fifth-level ones in front of him.

The configuration is too far apart.

It is precisely because the other party does not know his intelligence that a core output player was severely injured by a blow just now.

If these Black Blades knew who they were facing at this moment, Ji Xun felt that they would never dare to approach rashly like this.

However, it is too late to say these now.

He has observed what he should observe. Since he has taken action, Ji Xun does not intend to drag it out and is ready to end the battle immediately.

However, at the moment when he was about to take action, some people seemed to have not seen the situation clearly.

"Huh?"

Ji Xun said a light exclamation, and suddenly looked down at his arm.

At this glance, red spots were rapidly appearing on the skin, and then spreading and festering at a speed visible to the naked eye, accompanied by a foul smell of corruption.

The burning pain on his arm made him frown: "Curse? Did I get it when I bought something in the store before?"

If you want to evaluate the career sequence that card masters are most reluctant to encounter, card masters who are good at curses will definitely be ranked in the top three.

However, although Ji Xun was a little surprised, there was not much fluctuation in his eyes.

Instead, he muttered: "I said, there should be another person hiding."

Looking at it, the curse is of high grade, as if it borrowed some relics.

Normally, with this speed of curse spreading, a fifth-level card master would not last more than a minute and would die on the spot.

However, Ji Xun only took a look, and the red spots on his arm were healed by a green curse.

The curse did not disappear, but the Undead Curse forcibly restored the injury.

But if he can't solve the curse, he can solve the person who cast the curse.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun suddenly stepped into the air and disappeared on the spot with a "pop".

Not far away, the "toad" that had just exposed its murderous intentions suddenly changed its face in a very anthropomorphic way.

It wanted to jump into the water to hide.

But as soon as it kicked its legs, the fist in its eye socket was as big as a sandbag.

"Bang!"

The toad exploded into a ball of blood mist in mid-air.

At the same time, a figure fell out in a mess.

Looking closely, it was the black-toothed old woman with tattoos all over her face in the black market before.

At this moment, she was looking at the young man in front of her whose gas mask had been corroded for most of the time, revealing his true face. She no longer had the excitement she had seen before when she saw a fat sheep.

In those turbid and shrewd eyes, there was only endless fear and despair.
