Chapter 280: Stealing People! This is the First Warning.
Chapter 280: Stealing People! This is the First Warning.
The moment the second figure flew out.
There was still no time for anyone to react.
Ling Zhan's figure had already disappeared from the spot like a ghost.
"Where is he!?"
The three strong adventurers who witnessed Dragon Fist Seal and Fire Sword Los being sent flying instinctively assumed defensive positions!
But after they assumed their positions, they found that the non-specialist they had looked down on had completely disappeared!
Even his aura and traces were gone, as if he had never been there!
"Doro, behind you!"
Suddenly, someone shouted from across Shadow Blade Doro.
This shout.
Made this second-tier assassin expert's hair stand on end!
A terrifying sense of impending death instantly filled his mind!
He knew he didn't have time to turn and look behind!
Without any hesitation, he leaned forward, taking a step to try to evade the attack from behind!
But...
Was it useful!?
"Ah!!"
A sudden, piercing scream erupted on the silent city wall!
Everyone was horrified to see that the figure who had disappeared earlier reappeared behind Doro!
And the black, exquisite, and sharp dagger in his hand had already pierced through Doro's neck!
Swish!!
After he withdrew the dagger, bright red blood spurted from the back of Doro's neck like a fountain!
The blood spilled on the city wall, filling the air with a unique, pungent smell of blood!
Thud!
Doro's tall and robust body collapsed as if his bones had been removed, falling to the ground limply.
His eyes, filled with fear and terror, were wide open in shock and despair.
His body only twitched with the muscle reflexes of a dying person.
He never imagined he would be assassinated face-to-face one day!
That's right!
Assassinated face-to-face!
How ironic!
As a renowned second-tier assassin, he was killed by a non-specialist in front of everyone!
And the key was, if it weren't for the shout from the other side alerting him, he might not have known how he died!
In just an instant.
This non-specialist, whom everyone underestimated, instantly killed three level 55 renowned adventurers!
And it was as easy as cutting through butter!
Gulp!!
The remaining two strong men looked at the non-specialist with his hands down and cold eyes, too scared to even think of escaping!
Ling Zhan glanced at the two men who had lost all fighting spirit, his calm voice echoed in everyone's ears!
"Kneel down!"
Thud!!
The two remaining strong men didn't hesitate at all, abandoning their dignity, they knelt down on the spot!
Swish!!
At this moment, the surrounding adventurers finally snapped out of their shock and fear, but they couldn't help making noise.
They looked at the scene in disbelief and took a step back in unison!
But no one dared to laugh at the two kneeling men.
And no one dared to mock this non-specialist anymore.
Funo, who witnessed this battle, now had a completely serious expression.
Goodness!
The physical strength of this non-specialist was something he had never seen before!
What made even this third-tier expert wary...
Was Ling Zhan's agility, seemingly on par with his own!
It was well known that agility was crucial for assassins, as most of their skills caused critical hits when attacking from behind.
Thus, agility was more important than strength for assassins.
Most assassins prioritized agility, with strength as a secondary attribute.
Funo felt apprehensive about this non-specialist because he couldn't track his movement when he vanished!
What did this imply?
It implied that this non-specialist's agility might be higher than his!
The shout "Doro, behind you" was actually from Funo!
This was against his rules.
Because Shadow Blade Doro...
Was one of his disciples.
When Doro appeared, Funo didn't pay much attention, treating it as a test of the non-specialist's strength, valued by higher-ups.
But he didn't expect the outcome.
His disciple was killed instantly, even though he wanted to stop it, it was too late.
Even this third-tier assassin expert, Funo, was deeply shocked.
Needless to say, the outside world was even more astounded.
In the Eden guild hall.
The silence was deafening!
They had lost count of how many times they fell into silence today!
All eyes stared blankly at the screen.
No one could speak.
But Nine-Tailed Fox, He Chuan, Ba Meng, and others were not surprised, showing expressions of "as expected."
They had personally experienced this non-specialist's terror.
And these three had buried some psychological shadows.
Nine-Tailed Fox didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt her cheek, which Ling Zhan had slapped, still faintly hurt.
Ba Meng didn't dare to summon the Destroyer Lord in front of Ling Zhan anymore, fearing it would be dismantled again by him.
Those who experienced Ling Zhan's terror weren't shocked.
But others were filled with disbelief.
In a corner, two cloaked figures couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
...
At this time.
In the luxurious conference room at the top of the clock tower.
The shadow representing Eden guild's ace assassin couldn't help but shudder.
Watching the screen, the usually taciturn figure spoke in a deep voice, "I want this kid!"
The words carried a stubbornness.
Laon and Kroll exchanged glances, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
The Corrupt Witch Cathy lazily lifted her head and sneered, "Clement, are you the boss or am I the boss? Just because you want him, he's yours?"
The ace assassin wasn't afraid of the vice president Cathy, and said calmly, "We can decide this kid's ownership with a duel!"
"Wait! Both of you!"
At this time, Laon said helplessly, "Aren't you two being too naive? Never mind the consequences of your duel..."
"Just this kid's identity isn't something we can meddle with."
"He is the fifth seed representing the Dragon Kingdom in this year's global Warcraft competition."
"No matter how powerful Eden guild is, we don't have the right to mess with a superpower."
"So whether either of you can take him in ultimately depends on his own decision."
"Arguing here is meaningless, better to keep watching to see if this kid can complete this impossible task!"
Laon's words.
Silenced the two who had been confronting each other.
Yes.
They almost forgot this kid's identity!
"Hmph! So what? I'll just join the Dragon Kingdom directly, I never cared about my noble status in the Holy Light Empire anyway!"
Cathy said indifferently.
She was originally a commoner from the Fiss Empire
Later her parents were killed, and her village was destroyed, making her hate the Fiss Empire.
Which led to the later war that destroyed the country.
Now, she joined the Holy Light Empire and became a noble only for convenience.
After all, she needed identification to travel the world.
In small countries, she could sneak in unnoticed with her strength and travel freely.
But in superpowers, there were top-level experts equivalent to her level 100 fourth-tier strength.
Especially in the Dragon Kingdom...
The grandmasters guarding the borders would catch even a fly crossing the line.
Let alone her, a "super big bug" with a flashy tail.
So, for Cathy, the noble status of the Holy Light Empire could be discarded anytime.
Of course...
She only said this to annoy Clement.
For now, the non-specialist's displayed strength barely met her standards.
But to make her, the Corrupt Witch, abandon everything to take him in, it wasn't enough.
Mainly because she hadn't seen any magical talent from this non-specialist yet.
Clement, the ace assassin, didn't argue with the capricious witch and continued watching the screen.
...
The 51st level of the great secret realm.
The south gate wall was silent.
Dragon Fist Seal and Fire Sword Los had been punched into the wall by Ling Zhan, their fate unknown.
The only confirmed death was Shadow Blade Doro.
"I must be dreaming..."
"A non-specialist effortlessly crushed five level 55 class changers!"
Someone murmured in disbelief.
He wasn't the only one with this feeling.
Many others felt the same!
This scene was a huge shock to their worldview.
It was like seeing an ant punch an elephant to death.
It made them doubt themselves.
Ling Zhan ignored their shock, slowly turning to the equally displeased Funo.
Raising a finger, he said coldly:
"Mr. Funo, this is the first warning."
"If it happens again, don't blame me for taking action against you!"
Funo's face darkened upon hearing this.
He knew the non-specialist was referring to his shout to alert Shadow Blade Doro.
Although it didn't affect the outcome, as a self-proclaimed neutral, he had taken sides by warning him at a critical moment.
"What courage! To warn a level 75 third-tier expert like this!"
"This... is a bit ungrateful!"
"Haha! It's normal! Judging by his strength, he's probably as strong as Princess Sheng Luni, a bit arrogant!"
"To be fair, I side with the non-specialist. Funo shouldn't have warned his disciple as a neutral party!"
"It's not about being ungrateful, the non-specialist's warning was justified."
"..."
Perhaps Ling Zhan's decisive killing and strength had impressed many spectators.
Now, in the Eden guild hall, some were starting to speak for him.
Funo, mocked by a kid 30 levels lower, was naturally angry.
But he knew the guild's higher-ups were watching him.
Losing his composure here would disgrace Eden guild.
Reason eventually overcame anger, and he nodded gracefully, saying, "Rest assured, Mr. Ling, such unprofessional conduct won't happen again."
His voice was heavy.
Clearly unhappy.
But he had no choice.
Ling Zhan slowly turned and swung his arm!
Swish!!
A silver snake emerged from his sleeve!
Huh!?
Seeing this, the already frightened crowd stepped back in horror!
But the silver snake didn't slither towards the adventurers, instead, it darted towards the spots where Dragon Fist Seal and Fire Sword Los fell.
Then, the bodies of Dragon Fist Seal and Fire Sword Los were bound by the silver snake and pulled to the wall.
The crowd could finally sense the two experts' auras...
Hiss!!
When their senses touched the two bodies, they gasped again!
Because the two experts were completely lifeless.
Goodness!
One punch, one death!
How terrifying was this guy's strength!
The crowd couldn't help but take another step back.
Ling Zhan looked indifferently at the three corpses, took out a staff, and lightly waved it.
Buzz!!
A holy green light descended, enveloping the three bodies.
'Resurrection Spell'!
A basic skill every priest could learn!
Only useful after level 20, as only then could experts form their primordial spirit and be revived.
From level 20, class changers and ordinary people began to diverge significantly.
Some level 10-20 experts couldn't even beat long-time martial artists among ordinary people.
Of course, this was unless those experts were prodigies.
Under the green light, the three bodies were infused with strong vitality.
And their injuries quickly healed.
"Resurrection Spell!"
"No, why does his spell heal injuries too?"
"How would I know?"
"Damn, a basic spell reviving people to full health! Even a first-tier priest can't do that..."
Ling Zhan's casual use of Resurrection Spell astonished many priests around.
When the three men slowly regained consciousness, their faces filled with fear upon seeing Ling Zhan again.
Swish!!
They shuddered involuntarily.
Like springs, they jumped up from the ground.
Without a word, they bowed deeply to Ling Zhan!
"We were wrong! Please spare us!"
