Chapter 135 Capture
The catching and swift magic belongs to the third-level wind magic, which comes from the magic core of the storm wolf.
Although it is quite difficult for a magician to master it, it is not too difficult for a high-level top magician like Ronin, who has a super attribute affinity.
At this moment, with the blessing of rapid speed, his speed has been greatly improved.
Roning felt his body was lighter than ever before. With just a slight step, he could cover a distance of three to five meters, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the assassin.
"Are you surprised?"
Luo Ning swung his sword, and the extremely fast sword whistled. On the Liuyan Sword, the fighting spirit was divided into two attributes: wind and fire. As they were superimposed on each other, the flame burned more and more violently.
"This sword…"
The assassin caught a glimpse of the complex patterns on the blade of the Liuyan Sword and was slightly shocked. "This is not an ordinary sword; it's an enchanted weapon!"
Enchanted weapons are the most advanced high-end products, and ordinary master craftsmen who can manipulate extraordinary materials cannot create them.
Generally speaking, each enchanted weapon is created by a powerful magician, just like a rare spell scroll.
The black-clad assassin wanted to curse now.
This time, the person he wanted to assassinate had a spell scroll for level 5 guardian armor and an enchanted weapon that made people covet it. How many good things did Wushan Castle give this guy?
This Luo Ning was not an abandoned person but a wealthy man.
He even doubted whether Wushan Castle deliberately deprived Roning of his inheritance rights.
"But even if he has an enchanted weapon, I'm one level higher than him."
The assassin knew he had to decide the outcome quickly enough to extricate himself from the fight, so he fought back with almost no reservations.
The two men's sword moves were continuous, and between the attacks and defenses, the aftermath of the collision of fighting spirit flew out from the fierce battle, bombarding the ground, leaving large and small holes.
The servants who were watching screamed in fear and hid behind the stone pillars and walls in panic, secretly observing the battle in the yard.
It was not until today that they discovered that the lord was so powerful.
Roning attacked swiftly, and his sword became more and more wild like the wind. With the help of speed magic, he flashed behind the opponent and stabbed his sword towards his opponent's back.
But the opponent seemed to have anticipated it, dodged the sword by leaning sideways, and turned around to counterattack.
Such scenes often appeared, but Roning gradually found his form in the battle. In addition to his swift offensive, he became increasingly skilled in resolving the opponent's powerful sword moves.
On the other hand, the black-clad assassin, like Lei Sen, who Redal suppressed, was becoming increasingly stretched.
Assassins spend most of their time on assassinations, and they emphasize retreating immediately if they miss a strike. They are not weak in close combat but not very good at it.
When the two were fighting fiercely, a figure rushed into the battlefield quickly. With a surging fighting spirit, he crashed into the black-clad assassin before Roning could stop him.
There was a loud bang, and the two fighting energies collided. The black-clad assassin was knocked away heavily, and the fighting armor on his body began to disintegrate. Then, he hit the flower bed hard. The stone flower bed exploded, and gravel flew everywhere.
"How are you, sir?"
McKen's figure appeared in the middle of the battlefield. The impact shattered his fighting spirit armor, and he looked anxious.
"fine."
Roning was breathing heavily. The high-intensity offensive battle had consumed much of his physical strength and fighting spirit. However, apart from the injury initially, he was not injured in the subsequent battles.
Roning motioned to McKen to stand aside and not interfere, and he slowly walked towards the black-clad assassin.
"May I have your name?"
Luo Ning asked: "Why did you come to Shanlin Town to assassinate me?"
While speaking, Roning outlined the speed spell pattern and continued this magic for himself.
The black-clad assassin obviously did not see this detail, and at this moment, panic was already creeping into his heart.
He found it difficult to deal with Roning alone, and McKen, who the intelligence told him to pay attention to, appeared at this time.
He no longer needed to consider whether the assassination would be successful this time. What he should consider now was whether he could escape alive.
In response to Roning's question, the assassin did not answer directly.
He stood up slowly and only said his amazement: "A seventeen-year-old high-level peak knight if the outside world knew about this, it would cause a sensation in the entire Wushan Territory."
The most talked-about issue in Wushan Castle is succession. First, it was Wiggins, then Ronin. No matter how Lulans trained them before, they were said to be useless.
But at this moment, Roning appeared completely capable of doing the job, at least in terms of martial arts.
"Thank you for your recognition and praise."
Luo Ning laughed, "Let me guess, are you the assassin hired by Sean?"
The other party was unmoved and instead changed the subject.
"I have been assassinated many times, and even if I failed, I was able to escape calmly by relying on my ability to hide. I am very curious; how did you lock onto me?"
McKen's heart moved. He finally knew how this person got into the castle.
Hiding and sneaking, that's what it means.
He began to think about how to prevent this problem in the future.
Luo Ning was annoyed by the other party's evasive attitude, "You may not have figured out your current situation, so I will make you face the reality first."
The battle started again, but it was over very quickly this time.
Perhaps it was because McKen had just hit the opponent's leg with such a strong impact that the assassin's movements were no longer as smooth as before. Under Roning's fierce attack, he was unable to put up any resistance at all.
"puff!"
The Liuyan Sword pierced the opponent's arm, and the assassin could no longer hold the weapon, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
As he cried out in pain, Roning swept his leg to knock him to the ground, then stepped on his left ankle. A horrifying sound of bone cracking was heard, which disabled his ability to move.
"McKen, confiscate his weapon." Roning ended the operation.
McKen called out, and David and the others came up, lifted the man, stripped him of his coat, and removed the dagger, medicine bag, and other things hanging on his waist.
"slow!"
Luo Ning's pupils contracted, and his eyes were fixed on the other person's left chest.
McKeon followed his gaze and saw a white skull embroidered on the assassin's chest.
"Sir, is he a killer from the Skull and Bones Society?"
"Obviously."
In the past few months, Roning knew about three assassination cases committed by the Skull and Bones Society - the assassination of the heir of the Green family in Lake Town, the assassination of his father, Earl Wiggins, and the assassination of himself.
The first thing is that Marina and Malik from the Green family are lucky enough to survive because Ronin caught them by chance.
The second thing that happened was Wiggins losing a leg because of the misfortune.
Both of these incidents were related to Roning, but he did not expect the other party to come directly at him the third time.
Does this mean "When you are poor in a busy city, no one cares about you; when you are rich in a remote mountain area, you have distant relatives"?
At first, Roning simply thought that Lei Sen had sent assassins to assassinate him, but when he saw the skull symbol, he considered other possibilities.
There are many motives for his assassination, and there may be more than one possible mastermind behind it.
"McKen, I want to get valuable information from him. Don't let him die."
Luo Ning exhorted and then reminded: "I heard that the killer is good at hiding drugs. Search every inch of his body, not even a hair, and don't let him commit suicide."
As he spoke, he threw two more spell scrolls to the other party, "This is a scroll of 'healing' made by Elrond. If he slits his wrists or sings himself to death, using it in time can save him."
"Remember, I want his information, not his death."
"Understood, sir!"
McCann knew this was going to be an interrogation, and he had some skills in this area.
So he took the spell scroll and signaled David and others to take the assassin away.
