The thunder’s wildly dancing lightning caused the surroundings of the alley to turn upside down.

The Ganger was the first to be hit. Two bolts of lightning pierced through his chest along the cannibal tube. Even though he had an astonishing physique, several bloody wounds were caused by the explosion of this incomparably powerful force. Gritting his teeth, he pointed the gun at the Prince and the other two outside the alley and pressed a few times in a row, shouting, “Master, run!” He grabbed one of his men who tried to avoid the attack and threw him behind the alley.

Vyrut held Seckor’s hand tightly to prevent him from rushing forward. Then he turned sideways to avoid a thunder sword. He took out several black bombs from his pocket and threw them at the intersection. He shouted angrily, “Retreat! Split up as planned! “He put his arm around the assassin’s shoulder and pulled him hard. Seckor had to help him jump up and run quickly into the alley.

The rest of the assassins in black quickly dispersed, using the cover of the corner of the eaves to escape. Some unlucky guys were hit by lightning accidentally. After a scream, they turned into scorched bones. The scene was terrible.

At the crack of the other wall, a shield was erected by Jin Yuan to resist the lightning attack. Although the lightning all over the sky looked terrifying, the area was spread out, the single lethality was relatively weak. The spear guards’ space shields had a natural defensive effect against lightning, and the three of them were safe and sound in the shields.

Unexpectedly, the Ganger’s several attacks came in an instant. The yellow light columns hit the light wall one after another. The violent energy impact made the shield collapsed. Undercover the lightning, Jin Yuan could only increase his divine power. The white light was so strong that his face could not be seen clearly as if he had turned into a ball of light.

However, the situation had turned worse. The Prince naturally knew why the lightning came. He held his saber and stood as far as he could to protect the lightning. He suppressed his anger and shouted, “Uncle Ling, what are you doing?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the black clouds all over the sky immediately stopped. A burly figure in a purple robe with a beard quickly jumped up from the top of a low building not far away. It was the majestic Prince Yu.

The Prince jumped to Shane, grabbed his arm, and asked in a hoarse voice, “Shane, are you hurt? Don’t be afraid. No one can hurt you here! “

“Uncle Ling, didn’t you say that you would guard the intersection?” The Prince was furious. This stupid uncle was just trying to help, but he couldn’t lose his temper as he was an elder. He didn’t want to answer in a muffled voice. He turned his head and looked at the alley. When he saw the assassins fleeing in embarrassment, he quickly pulled the assassins who had just withdrawn their strength as far as possible and whispered, “Uncle Ling, I have something important to do. Ask someone to help me clean it up.”

When the two of them were about to chase after the assassin, Mr.Coorong and Prince Yu looked at each other without any trace and stopped in front of them. “Your Highness, don’t worry. I’ve already imprinted Soul Mark. Within ten miles, man can’t escape from the perception.”

Was there such magic in Soul Magic? Why didn’t you tell me in advance…A strange feeling flashed through the Prince’s heart, but he had no time to care about the emergency. He pulled his sleeve and asked, “Where is it?” He bowed to the Prince Yu in silence as far as possible and followed them into the alley.

“Shane! Be careful! “Prince Yu stood still and shouted. His tone seemed to be extremely anxious, but there was no expression on his face.

Several sounds came from the entrance of the alley. An injured assassin in black struggled to stand up, but he was too weak to hold on. The Prince Yu looked at the assassin coldly and suddenly threw out a bolt of lightning, hitting the assassin’s back. After a scream, there was only a black body left. The jade king stood still with his hands behind his back. His face was as stiff as a cold rock, and behind him was the burning ruins of an old building.

In the broken city, a desperate chase began slowly.

Since the illusion disappeared, the assassins took advantage of the terrain to hide in the empty houses and fled out in groups. The original plan was that the Ganger and Snakeskin would lead the riot around and break out of the encirclement under cover of the night with Cole’s power. However, when Vedder saw the familiar man in a grey robe, he decided to change the plan.

“Plan C!” He put his hand on Seckor’s shoulder and shot back while giving orders loudly. The assassins quickly gathered together again, led by the Ganger and Snakeskin to the predetermined breakthrough, leaving only the two young men to deal with the pursuers behind them.

Since Mr.Coorong was present, Prince Yu must have a plan. He didn’t know what to do…While Vyrut was guessing in his mind, a hoarse voice suddenly came to his mind. He stopped his steps slightly and whispered to Seckor, “Northwest, Black brick roof!”

Without asking, the assassin turned around and rushed northwest. Not long after, a black brick building of more than ten stories appeared in front of him. The building was heavily weathered, and the cracks of the stone were full of moss.

Without any hesitation, they climbed up the building quickly. Outside the building, the Prince and the other two were about to catch up with him. The Sorcerer of Soul suddenly bent down and coughed. He shook his head and said, “Your Highness, I need to have a rest. I’m really exhausted.”

Shane noticed that he was coughing heavily. He knew that these cultivators were always weak, so he nodded and said, “Sir, please have a rest here. Let’s go to see what’s going on.” For the sake of safety, he waved his right hand and placed an illusion outside the building, hiding The Sorcerer of Soul under the bending light.

“Thank you, your highness.” The man in grey robe thanked gently, covered his hood, and leaned against the wall without making any sound.

The Prince turned to look at the old building and exchanged a glance with Jin Yuan. The spear guard exerted his great strength and flew straight to the roof through the protruding edge of the window. Shane followed him closely. The two jumped back and forth against the floor and then jumped up to the roof.

There was no guardrail on the top of the old building. Shane and Jin Yuan stopped at the edge of the rooftop. They saw two young assassins standing outside the opposite ditch with their shoulders crossed and arms folded. The four of them confronted each other on the top of the small building without saying a word. The scene seemed to have solidified.

After a short silence, Vyrut said slowly, pretending not to know, “We have no intention of going against your Highness. It was just an accident in the hotel. Why do you keep chasing me?”

The Prince didn’t reply. He glanced coldly at the two masked young men and waved his hand. A wave swept across the platform, turning the building’s top floor into a white mirror pool surrounded by clouds and mist. The four young men stood in two lines, floating on the surface of the water like immortals. A huge white light ball sank into the water, illuminating the illusion space.

The next moment, countless illusions emerged around the mirror pool and rushed to the two assassins like the tide. Seckor pulled out his long and short thorns, clasped his hands, and vigilantly protected his chest with full vigilance. However, Vyrut was abnormally calm, not troubled by the layers of illusions. He turned his hand and spear, shooting several blue energy bombs in front of the lake, exploding a circle of ice spikes on the lake, and blocking the phantoms outside the wall.

A white figure flashed on the ice wall like lightning. The magic spear flew forward as far as possible with the divine light lingering. On the tip of the spear was a white light condensed by the divine power. Although Seckor was invisible in the illusion of light, he didn’t show any weakness. The black fog all over his body was rolling. He relied on his keen intuition to avoid the long spear attack and occasionally waved his double stabs to counterattack. The two of them were fighting with all their might in the middle of the lake. The black and white divine light constantly flashed and collided, and waves of demonic marks floated out.

Shane’s indistinct shadow floated in the air, shrouded in trembling ripples. He glanced at the indescribable enemies in the field and quickly rushed to Vyrut, who was guarding behind. He jumped up and passed the ice awl, immediately hiding his figure. He cut horizontally with his long saber and directly took the other party’s arm holding the spear.

Do you think I’m a pushover…He took out several iron balls from his pocket and threw them forward. Then he turned his hand spear and shot several yellow energy bombs, which hit the iron balls in the air accurately. As the lightning exploded, the iron pellet suddenly released a large amount of debris, and the lightning flashed between the iron debris. The Prince was forced out of the electric net and jumped back to the outside of the ice wall. He looked at the forbidden area with no expression and waited for it to disappear.

“Vyrut!” Seeing this scene from the corner of Seckor’s eyes, the next moment when he was in a panic, his weakness was caught by Jin Yuan. The white light swept over, and it hit his right shoulder, spreading a layer of blood mist.

Fuck…The assassin gritted his teeth and didn’t say anything. He took the opportunity to jump back to his partner’s side and used his great force to remove all the white light left on the wound. Standing side by side with him, Vyrut stared at the two and clenched his hands. Prince Yu’s trump card hadn’t appeared yet. It seemed that it would take some more time.

There was another standoff on the field. Shane stood beside him as far as he could, exchanged a glance with him, and then slammed the handle of the gun. The white light array instantly extended forward from his feet, enveloping the two young assassins like a glowing glass cage.

“You have no way…” Shane waved his hand to disperse the phantoms around him and said in an unusually stable and dignified tone, “Surrender as soon as possible to avoid more pain.”

“Your Highness, aren’t you afraid that we will fight to the death?” Vyrut, with a soft smile, seemed oblivious to the situation, “No matter what your Highness wants to know…Dead people can’t speak anymore. “

“……What happened eight years ago and the spies in the capital…Tell me the truth. I’ll let you go. “The Prince made a gesture to Jin Yuan. If the other wanted to die, he was really not sure whether he could successfully keep her.

Jin Yuan understood what he meant. When he was about to strengthen the fettering force, he heard a hoarse gasp under his feet. He quickly withdrew the great force with a frown and turned it into a shield to guard beside him. The next second, there was a burst of explosion around the rooftop. Several big holes appeared in the old black bricks. 7 blood red figures jumped up like swimming fish and surrounded Shane and the others. These strange people were all wearing tight light armors, and their faces were ferocious. Yellow saliva kept flowing down from their mouths, which was extremely disgusting and weird.

It was the right time! Knowing that it must be an ambush set by Prince Yu, Vyrut didn’t dare to delay the good opportunity. He put his arm around Seckor’s shoulder and whispered, “Let’s go.” The assassin wrapped his arms around his waist reflexively, turned back, and jumped out of the platform. He patted his belt gently, and a row of wings instantly popped out from his back. The two floated slowly to the river bank like giant kites by the strong night wind. In a hurry, Jin Yuan only had time to condense a spear of light and shoot it at the two people from afar. The gliding wings shook slightly and then continued to move forward steadily. No one knew if it hit them or not.

There was a sudden change on the platform. Looking at the Assassins’ retreating figures, the Prince was a little anxious. He waved his hand and arranged layers of illusion to hide himself and Jin Yuan, intending to avoid these strange men in blood.

When the freaks group saw their target disappear, they let out an angry roar, and countless red smoke rose from their bodies. As soon as the thick smoke reached the area covered by the illusion, it made a sizzling sound like hot oil into a pot. The corrosive force made it difficult to maintain the illusion. The illusory light quickly faded, and the figures of the two people were revealed again.

“Shrink your great force to avoid the smoke.” The Prince noticed the strange red smoke’s suppressive effect on the divine power, so he waved his blade and rushed to the nearest enemy. He nimbly avoided the drifting smoke, and the blade awkwardly hacked upwards and downwards. However, it was blocked by the steel claw instantly popped out from the man’s hand.

He didn’t expect that the assassin would have such a strange method…Jin Yuan frowned as much as he could to protect the Prince. He waved his long spear and swept out a safe area but was inevitably surrounded by red smoke. Fortunately, the magic power released by the strange smoke only worked. Even if it wrapped around his body, it didn’t seem to cause any harm. However, these freaks were very difficult to deal with. They were not only powerful but also fearless of death as if they were mechanical puppets without pain.

In terms of actual strength, these 7 freaks were not very powerful. However, even though their spear skills were as powerful as gods’, and they were riddled with wounds all over their bodies, as long as the other party could protect the vital parts, it would still be difficult to cause fatal injuries.

The situation was in a stalemate. Jin Yuan waved his spear and sent the two monsters flying to the ground. He glanced at Shane from the corner of his eyes and saw that Shane was still skillfully seeking an opportunity to attack the enemy. He felt at ease. When he was thinking about asking the Prince to retreat first, he suddenly heard a faint strange sound. The voice…He jumped back to Shane’s side and picked the enemy up. He was on full alert with a long spear.

The reaction of the men in blood was even more strange. When they heard this murmuring sound, they all shook their heads and let out sobs. They slowly left the rooftop in a row, completely forgetting their long-awaited goal.

What happened…Shane stared at the figure wrapped by the blood smoke disappearing slowly. His usually calm face also showed a blank expression. He couldn’t figure out the development of this strange incident at all.

Jin Yuan waved his spear and looked around cautiously. As soon as his eyes swept through the big holes on the rooftop, he heard a shout from downstairs, “My Lord! My Lord！” He turned his head and listened carefully. He walked slowly to the edge of the rooftop and looked down. The Sorcerer of Soul was standing at the bottom of the building, waving his hands.

“We can’t stay here for too long… Let’s go downstairs first. “Shane stepped forward, glanced down, and exhaled a deep breath of frustration. He felt a little regretful that he couldn’t catch the target smoothly. If it weren’t for the sudden disturbance later. What was the background of these strange people in blood? And who was helping them at last? Doubts came one after another, like a heavy fog that made it difficult for him to see them clearly. However, the most important thing right now was to catch up with the two fellows as soon as possible.

The two jumped back and forth along the window silently and soon reached the ground.” Your Highness, I heard many explosions just now. Is there anything wrong?” Said, Mr.Coorong.

“It’s just some ambush. Nothing serious…” Shane didn’t want to talk about the strange thing on the roof with others. He continued to ask perfunctorily, “Sir, can you find out the whereabouts of the assassin?”

“It’s still within the range.”

“Hurry up and catch them up,”

“Please follow me.”

Then Mr.Coorong stretched out his hand and walked forward. The Prince winked at Jin Yuan, and the spear guard took out a signal flare from his waist and released colorful smoke into the air as a warning. Then they ran away in a hurry.

The old building was empty again. After a while, 7 men in red slowly walked out of the gate of the building. They were neatly arranged, and their eyes were as dull as machines. These strange people walked to the front of the building and stood still. The tall, thin man in a black robe appeared at the door. It turned out that the strange sound just now was made by him.

He walked up to the man in blood and glanced at men in blood. Suddenly, he realized something and sneered, “Prince Yu colluded with the people of the South Island to murder his crown prince…Haha, how dare you! Aren’t you afraid of the Emperor…”

Before he finished speaking, a beam of lightning as thick as an arm suddenly shot towards his heart. However, the man in the black robe was not in a hurry. There were countless subtle fluctuations around him in an instant, and the lightning was dispersed and disappeared before it got close to him.

At the corner of the alley, the figure of the Prince Yu flashed. The lightning on the purple robe floated, and a pair of bronze bell tiger stared at the man in a black robe, full of killing intent.

“Nonsense!” He shouted, pointing at the other party and questioning, “Who are you? How dare you set up a trap to plot against the crown prince of our country! “

The man in the black robe laughed weirdly again, and his mouth made an inaudible wave. Countless blood immediately oozed from the bodies of the 7 strange people. They fell to the ground without saying a word, twitching for a moment before they could move again.

The man in the black robe ignored the bloody killing field as if he had already been used to it. He warned himself in a low voice, “Take care of yourself.” Then he jumped up to the low building beside him and disappeared without a trace.

The Prince Yu snorted and walked to the corpse pile with a gloomy face. What power none of them could believe it! He had put a lot of effort into setting up the trap, but it didn’t work as he had expected. The Prince Yu was secretly annoyed and blamed it on that shameless fellow. This batch of drugs was in vain. He had to negotiate with him in the future in case of being regarded as a wronged head. However, he could make use of the fellow who had been caught.

After thinking for a long time, Prince Yu made up his mind. He waved his hand and released countless strong currents, burning all the corpses on the ground into brittle coke. He stared at the direction in which the man in black robe left for a few seconds. His whole body was shining with golden light, and he rushed forward like a meteor. In the blink of an eye, he hid in the crooked lane.

Shouts came from afar. When the surrounding guards saw the sky’s colorful signal, they surrounded the black brick building one after another.

The dark night gradually fell along with the disordered footsteps, and the broken wind in front of the building rose, whistling past, rolling up the whole sky and fainting cloud.
