Chapter 503: 501: Betrayal and Trap (Subscription Request)
That night,
An important banquet is being held at the Lion Manor.
A group of men and women in luxurious clothes and elegant postures danced gracefully on the dance floor, sweating profusely and showing off their amazing dancing moves.
At the top, Loy sat in the main seat, and next to him was Lilia, who sat dignified and quiet, holding their son Klein Raymond in her arms.
There were benches around, and sitting on them were polite gentlemen and gorgeous women.
The long table in front of him was filled with food, fruits, snacks and drinks.
Even if you are a count, you still have to treat guests when it is time to treat them.
The people around, including the guests dancing on the dance floor, were all envoys sent by various countries.
Some of them came to negotiate trade, some to gather information, some to buy magical weapons, and some to need industrial support.
Or if you come with various purposes, don't come with too many people.
However, you have to admit that after the magic tank came into being and Loy won the war, the envoys who came to the Flower Territory were all of noble status.
Either the Foreign Minister, or the royal blood, or the heir of a long family,
Those with lower status are not even qualified to attend the banquet.
At this moment, someone walked in from the main entrance, walked around the dance floor, and quickly came to Luo Yi's side.
When Luo Yi saw him, he looked a little surprised: "Sir Jude Stephens, the Ice Hunter, shouldn't you be at the front line? Why are you back?"
Three meters away, ice hunter Jude Stephens plopped down on one knee.
He looked up, his dust-stained face filled with grief and indignation. "My Lord Earl, something terrible has happened!"
"What's got you so panicked?"
"A legendary expert took action, and Tanya's entire army was almost wiped out. I, I also escaped by a narrow escape."
Wow...
His voice was loud, and even though there was a band playing, it spread throughout the hall and reached everyone's ears.
This caused an uproar in the whole place, with countless people looking at him, and the horror on their faces was hard to conceal.
Even Luo Yi was shocked and stood up at this moment.
But at this moment, the ice and snow hunter Jude Stephens looked up and raised his right hand secretly.
There were tiny stars shooting out from the back of his hand, with faint blue reflections and subtle sounds of breaking through the air.
The target was Lilia and Klein.
This fourth-level natural disaster, who was hired by Flowers for a high salary, actually became an assassin?!
At this moment, Luo Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his heart beat violently, each beat like a drum.
His perception quickly slowed down, time seemed to be infinitely stretched, and the world seemed to be transformed into frames as far as the eye could see.
He even saw the silver needle that shot out, as thin as cow hair, stained with dark blue venom, and the sound of it breaking through the air even left a few traces in the air.
Then, Luo Yi took action.
In his hand, a thin sword appeared, trembling and humming, stirring up the air and forming cyclones.
Finally, a fan of sword light formed in front of Lilia.
Ding ding dang dang!
The sound of metal clashing was heard, and all the needles were wiped out. Loy was already standing in front of Lilia and Klein, blocking their path.
The silver angel sword trembled in his hand, and an invisible murderous aura enveloped the entire banquet hall.
Everyone was hiding, running in all directions, only Roy and the Ice Hunter Jude Stephens stood still.
Their eyes met, and their surging momentum collided in the void, as if even the space was distorted.
Luo Yi: "Are you here to assassinate?"
Jude Stephens: “Exactly!”
Luo Yi: "Is the treatment I provided not good enough and makes you dissatisfied?"
Jude Stephens: "The treatment provided by Flower Territory is excellent, the resources are abundant, and the variety is complete. It is unique in the Old World."
Luo Yi understood: "So, you are a spy planted by someone else for today?"
Jude Stephens nodded: "You can say that!"
Luo Yi: "Can you tell me who's behind me? I can remember and cause trouble for him."
Jude Stephens: "He doesn't mind if you cause him trouble, but I wouldn't feel good if you ruined his reputation.
So, I won’t tell you.”
Luo Yi was so angry that he laughed: "You think you still have a future, but for what you did today, you will die no matter where you go. I tell you!"
"Do you really think that I only have that much strength?
Just because I pretended to be in front of you, do you really think you are invincible?"
Jude Stephens also laughed and boasted: "I come when I want to, and leave when I want to, and no one can stop me!"
"Then give it a try?"
“Just give it a try!”
While the words were still echoing in the banquet hall, Loyi had already raised his left hand, a flame gun appeared, the attached magical light lit up, and he immediately pulled the trigger.
It was also at this moment that Jude Stephens took a step back.
He crushed a gem, and the flames that suddenly rose up enveloped him. It looked scary, but there was no temperature at all.
In the flames, Jude Stephens also showed a brilliant smile.
Bang!
The gunshot rang out, and the bullet flew through the flames, opening a large hole in the wall behind it.
But the figure in the flames disappeared.
——Gem magic, flame teleportation.
Luo Yi's expression was slightly tense, his ears twitched, and he locked onto the enemy's position.
But he didn't rush to chase after them. Instead, he turned back to look at Lilia and Klein. After confirming that they were okay, he said, "Let's go back to the Mage Tower first. I'll be back soon."
Lilia didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Do what you want, but be sure to do it within your ability. My son and I are waiting for you at home."
"rest assured!"
Luo Yi turned around again, his eyes becoming extremely cold: "Oliveira, guard this place!"
Lightning flashed, and Oliveira appeared, his thin cheeks puffed up, and he finally said, "My Lord Earl, be careful."
Luo Yi nodded, finally having time to look at everyone in the banquet hall, and said with a smile: "Everyone, you can continue playing music and dancing. Let me take care of some small matters first."
After he finished speaking, he ignored everyone and appeared outside the banquet hall, dragging a lot of phantoms with him.
His ears twitched again, and he identified a direction. The golden and red fighting spirit around him exploded, like the flapping of real angel wings, and he soared into the sky in the sudden gust of wind.
It should be said that Jude Stephens had hidden his strength. During the previous assessment by Loy, he probably didn't reveal even half of it.
Escaping at this time was a test of his true ability. His speed was indeed incomparable to that of an ordinary fourth-order natural disaster.
From a distance, in Luo Yi's perception, he was like a bullet fired from a gun, breaking through the surrounding air flow and rushing forward at a rapid speed.
But, he met Luo Yi!
Luo Yi couldn't catch up with him with the speed of pure sacred wings, but he could catch up with him with the space law he learned from the sacred skill [Dimensional Capsule].
Even if it's just the tip of the iceberg, applying it to the Angel Wings can give us a glimpse into the secrets of the legendary combat skill 'Void Angel Wings'.
A pair of golden and red wings shone brightly and burned with sacred fire, as if a god had descended to earth, inviolable.
And every time it flapped its wings, it would cause the space to distort, as if pulling it forward, and in an instant it would cross an unknown distance.
One chasing and the other fleeing, in just a short time, they were dozens of miles away.
Luo Yi's eyes turned into eagle eyes, and he had locked onto the ice hunter Jude Stephens who was fleeing in the distance.
Without saying a word, he raised his hand, gathered his fighting spirit, and threw out a 'Holy Light Spear'.
To this day, Luo Yi has mastered quite a few sacred combat skills, but his favorite is still the 'Spear of Holy Light'.
Its unique tracking ability and long-range locking allow Luo Yi to eliminate the enemy from a long distance.
Luo Yi's speed was already quite exaggerated, and the spear he threw out was even more terrifying. It tore through the air and even formed a white mark that cut through the sky.
And the ice hunter Jude Stephens also felt the danger of death.
He threw another gem almost without hesitation, and the gem exploded in front of him, and the spreading virtual fire enveloped him.
The next second, the Holy Light Spear pierced through the flames, but Jude Stephens had already disappeared.
When it reappeared, it was already several thousand meters away, having avoided the original trajectory of the Holy Light Spear.
But the Holy Light Spear only drew an arc, and after finding the right direction, it continued to chase at an extremely high speed, determined to fight to the death.
At this moment, Jude Stephens' expression looked a little ugly, and then he tried irregular changes of direction.
Whether forward or backward, up or down, turning at right angles, or changing direction several times in a short period of time, the results are all poor.
The Holy Light Spear was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, difficult to get rid of.
In fact, because of the delay, the Holy Light Spear was even closer. If another gem had not been thrown out, it might have been pierced directly.
Until this moment, he finally stopped harboring hope and launched various magic attacks, or ice and snow fighting spirit slashes, in an attempt to kill it directly.
And this is indeed the way to deal with the Holy Light Longhair. If dodging is not possible, counterattack head-on and consume fighting spirit is possible.
This time, it worked. The holy fire content on the Holy Light Spear dropped sharply and was about to be consumed.
But at this moment, Loyi threw out another holy light spear.
This spear was not aimed at Jude Stephens, but at the one in front.
When the two collided, there was no explosion or internal consumption, but they merged into one, turning into an even more terrifying holy light spear, piercing through the void and directly appearing in front of Jude Stephens.
This time, Jude Stephens could no longer dodge. He swung his sword, and the sword light was like a rainbow, slashing on the spear.
The next second, the holy fire and ice exploded in mid-air, and the strong shock wave spread in all directions, turning into air waves visible to the naked eye, sweeping away the clouds in the sky.
As the afterglow of the setting sun fell, Jude Stephens rolled out.
He finally managed to steady himself, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at Luo Yi and couldn't help laughing.
"Count Loy, have you ever thought about why I assassinated Madam Lilia and a baby right in front of you?"
"That's because you've always been my target! Only by making you lose your mind will you be lured into this most obvious trap."
As he spoke, the space around him turned into ripples and waves, and then, streams of aura appeared.
There were nine powerful natural disaster masters who showed up, distributed in the sky and on the ground, locking Luo Yi tightly.
But at this moment, Luo Yi slowly raised his head and sneered: "Then you have never considered that it was me who took the initiative to step into the trap!"
"The purpose is to lure out all these despicable insects like you so that we can kill you all."
PS: I apologize to everyone. I really thought it was too simple before.
I thought that after my wife gave birth and came out of the hospital, she would have some free time and it wouldn't affect my writing.
But what is the reality?
With the addition of a little kid, there are so many more things to do. Before I can even type a few words, I have to do this and that, and my train of thought is completely interrupted.
It’s really hard to continue after coming back!
I'm sorry for the lack of updates these days.
