As Lin Xingchen went deeper and deeper, he also walked slower and slower. The few people hiding in the dark knew that if they didn't take action, they would miss the opportunity.
The murderous intent appeared in an instant, and six crossbow arrows shot towards Lin Xingchen's vital points from different directions.
He took the magic wand in his hand before the crossbow arrows shot out, and with a snap of his right fingers, six rapid crossbow arrows all missed the target.
The six assassins in secret were obviously stunned, and then they became alert and took out their weapons and prepared themselves.
The instant teleportation of space magic is definitely the best life-saving skill. If it weren't for this life-saving skill, Lin Xingchen would not dare to be so arrogant. Even with the instant teleportation, Lin Xingchen had already stored the magic scroll on himself.
Although Lin Xingchen is only a fifth-level magician, as a person who is proficient in potions and magic circles, the first thing he thinks about at all times is to arm himself.
If teleportation is not activated, as long as the crossbow arrow is less than 20 centimeters away from you, the instantaneous earth armor can provide absolute protection for your body.
With the help of his mental perception, Lin Xingchen teleported directly behind the nearest assassin. With a flick of his wand, a burst of flames as big as a basin exploded directly above the assassin's head.
After being hit by an explosive flame at close range, there was basically no chance of survival. Lin Xingchen escaped from this position with the help of wind magic. Two thin swords appeared where he jumped away.
This sword is a favorite of assassins. It is not only light and inconspicuous, but also a ceremonial sword used as decoration by many nobles.
But in the hands of assassins, it is the most deadly weapon. Not only does the tip of the sword have magic-breaking metal that can pierce various magic shields, but most of them are also stained with deadly venom.
It doesn't matter if a magician encounters a knight. Those stubborn guys will definitely attack you despite your magic bombardment.
Don't be afraid if you meet a swordsman. You just need to keep using instant magic from a few distances between those little squishy guys and they will definitely die first.
If you encounter an assassin, don't panic, just keep a sufficient distance, because those rats will never fight you head-on. You just need to make sure you have enough casting distance to grind those rats to death.
This is the magic world's summary of how to deal with enemies. Lin Xingchen's current approach is almost in line with these experiences. He keeps a sufficient distance, uses the speed of wind magic, and keeps moving around without staying in the same place for too long.
Those assassins are naturally not stupid. Hiding in all directions is the most basic operation for them.
Terry hid in a blind spot with the help of black clothes. It was supposed to be an easy task but he never expected that the person on the other side was actually a magician.
Moreover, he lost a man at the very beginning. This guy who looked as handsome as a woman, acted in a way that was completely contrary to his appearance.
I just took a look at that dead subordinate. His upper body was no longer visible and his lower body was still being burned by fire. I guess he won't need my help to collect the body in the end.
As assassins, they had a special way of connecting, and looking at his surrounded target Terry couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"If such a person with outstanding appearance is captured and sold to nobles with special preferences, it will definitely be worth a lot of money."
"It's a pity that you make some people unhappy. You'd better not mess with women you shouldn't mess with in your next life."
As soon as he was notified to take action, Terry suppressed his thoughts and tightened the dagger in his hand. He was determined not to fail this time.
Lin Xingchen kept observing every corner around him with a serious expression. After all, this time they were not those bandits, so he must not get into trouble.
Just as he was thinking, the shadow under his feet suddenly moved, and a rapier stabbed towards his chest.
The magic wand in his hand deflected the rapier, and the assassin was immediately terrified and wanted to escape.
However, Lin Xingchen would not give up such an opportunity. The five ice arrows not only pierced the assassin's limbs, but also pierced through his buttocks, nailing him directly to the ground.
Even an assassin who had received brutal training couldn't help but howl in pain. He stepped on the assassin as a stepping stone and once again avoided the sneak attack.
While gliding, his hands were never idle, and he shot twelve ice arrows at the hiding place of another assassin.
Terry rolled over several times before he avoided these deadly ice arrows, and then quickly hid himself. At this time, he felt that he might have been a little too confident.
The assassin who assisted in the attack wanted to run away when he found that the ice arrow did not hit him.
The reason why he didn't attack first was because it would take time for him to hide after he made his move. But since the person in the dark had avoided his attack, the target who had appeared now would not let him get away easily.
The speed of the ice arrow combined with the wind magic is a good combination. Although the assassin was very skilled and dodged three arrows in a row, he was still hit by an arrow in the right leg in the end.
In order to prevent him from escaping, Lin Xingchen pinned him to the ground again, stepped on the first assassin who was pinned, and asked softly: "As long as you tell me who sent you, I will spare you. Remember, you only have one chance."
"We have our own rules." Before the assassin could finish his words, a wind blade flew over his head and he was gone.
"After walking a dozen steps to the second captured assassin, you only have one chance."
"If you kill me, you will die miserably in the end." This time Lin Xingchen let him finish his last words. This time he did not touch him directly, but a small flaming hand kept stroking his body.
Watching this tough guy commit suicide in the end, two fireballs flew towards the two corpses respectively. The four people holding magic wands were now like gamblers, constantly guessing each other's cards, and Lin Xingchen was the most confident one among the four.
The smell of the burning corpse was unpleasant, and Lin Xingchen couldn't help but cover his nose. It was this action of covering his nose that made the remaining assassins see the flaw.
Although Terry kept reminding him not to attack as it was a trap, the pressure still caused the assassin, who had just entered the profession, to collapse.
When a person's emotions get out of control, that's when he makes a wrong judgment. Sure enough, when the already somewhat crazy assassin's sword missed with all his strength, he became desperate.
A huge ice sword came down from the sky and pierced him through.
"If you told me that I used a magic potion to save you and then let you go."
"I'm telling you, please save me first and I'll tell you right away." Hearing the sound of a bow being fired, Lin Xingchen quickly left his position.
A crossbow arrow shot directly through the head of the assassin on the ground, but at the same time it also exposed his position.
As they slid along the way, four consecutive bursts of flames flew straight toward the location where the crossbow arrows were shot from.
Maybe this guy has some skills. None of the four fireballs hit him directly, but he was ignited by the splashing flames. He howled like a fire man a few times and then fell to the ground.
"You are the only one left among the six assassins. I think you will be punished even if you escape. How about we cooperate with each other?"
"I seem to have heard that if you assassins fail to complete your mission, you will be considered a failure, and your organization or forces will directly kill those who fail. I don't know if this legend is true."
If you are willing to answer the question I asked before, I will let you escape and promise not to tell anyone. Even if someone asks, I will say that I killed six assassins.
As a noble and a distinguished magician, I always keep my word. You don't have to be afraid that I will go back on my word. If you think I will attack you if you come out to talk to me, you might as well find a place you think is safe and tell me that you don't need to come out.
Terry hid in a dark ditch and kept reminding himself not to be fooled. The words spoken by the target not far away were like seeds that continued to grow in his body.
But his years of life on the run made him resist the temptation. It seemed that this target would not leave him for a while, which made Terry feel more lucky.
"It seems that I am anxious. After all, you must be sad because I just killed your companion. How about I sit here and accompany you. Just tell me the answer when you calm down.
But I have to remind you that I have been out for a long time, and my servants are probably looking for me everywhere, and your companion's screams just now may attract them, and you will be in trouble when that happens."
These few words made Terry's already confused heart even more turbulent, and he kept comparing the gains and losses in his heart.
Lin Xingchen took out a piece of fruit and started eating it. After he finished eating the apple, he continued talking.
"You have been thinking about it for a long time! It is time to give an answer. Do you think I can do without you? Don't forget that I am a noble. I just need someone to spread the word tomorrow morning, saying that there were six assassins who wanted to assassinate me but I killed five of them. In the end, the assassin revealed the employer behind this to save his life.
You guessed whether the people behind you would believe in me, the living target, or you, the loser who failed. At that time, you still couldn't escape death. "
These words became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Terry. Lin Xingchen's words were like a magic sound that kept making him think. After thinking about it, he wanted to try to bet that this nobleman was a trustworthy man.
"I'll count to you. If you don't cooperate, I'll bring my servants here. If they still can't find you, I'll do what I just said and send someone to pass on the message for me tomorrow morning."
"Nineteen-eight...three-two-one, see you." Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a voice coming from a corner.
"You are a noble magician, you really won't lie to me?"
Hearing the voice behind him, Lin Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and finally came out.
"Of course, I'm a man of my words. Tell me the answer and you can leave."
"The employer's name is Chryst Peters"
