Chateau Street in Franklin District, a once bustling art district, is now mostly in ruins.
In the hazy fog, dozens of figures were still fighting fiercely.
After just a few trials, the battle reached its climax.
[Earth Dwarf], [Wind Roar Puppet], [Black Flame Demon], [Venomous Water Puppet], [Machine Killing Shadow Puppet], [Mighty King Kong], [Candy Witch]
At this point, Grandmaster Aubrey's signature seven dark gold puppets with quasi-seventh level combat power [Seven Dwarfs] have all appeared.
Suddenly, the crackling sounds of fighting stopped for a moment.
On the ruins, Su Lun was breathing heavily, holding the black sickle's right arm with a domineering presence, but could not move.
A closer look revealed that several black silk threads were wrapped around his arms and body. The silk threads were as sharp as blades and were cut into his flesh. Although they were not cut off, there were traces of blood. The force of the threads continued.
strengthen.
Su Lun glanced at his arm, his eyes flashed solemnly for a moment, and he sighed in his heart: "The old guy is really scheming."
Aubrey is truly a master of puppetry, and her silk control skills are simply superb.
The secret method of [Grid House] is not only to control puppets, but also to hide murderous intent everywhere.
In terms of technical skills alone, it is much more complicated and perfect than the [Slaughterhouse] that Su Lun had figured out himself.
Even though Su Lun already knew the opponent's information in detail, the battle just now was still full of dangers.
Just like now.
The old man's silk threads had never achieved any results before, and his proficiency in dealing with the witch's hair was limited. This gave Su Lun a habitual fighting mentality, thinking that besides being sharp, this guy's threads were not dangerous. However,
However, the old man relied on his superb silk control skills to quietly hide a few silk threads with "space confinement" inscribed on them. During the battle, he found a flaw and directly trapped Su Lun.
If it weren't for his physical strength, this cut would have broken off his arm even if he didn't die.
In this fight, Su Lun was able to see the combat prowess and methods of a strong man who was at the top of the puppet world.
I have to admit, the gap is very big!
Under normal circumstances, not to mention fifth- and sixth-level professionals, even if seventh-level professionals come, it will be difficult to gain the upper hand.
This is the professional advantage of the puppet master.
Puppet masters have almost no possibility of being restrained, and they can find corresponding restraint methods against any professional they encounter.
The [Seven Dwarfs] puppet combination of the old man's elemental puppet lineage has been polished to perfection, and there is no shortage of elements, defense, field control, healing, and killing methods.
Regardless of tactics, skills, coordination, or puppet quality, it is almost impeccable.
If Su Lun didn't know a lot about puppetry, he wouldn't have the qualifications to fight face to face with this seventh-level grand master.
After all, Su Lun went there with the intention of competing with the seniors in the same field.
The defeat was expected.
It would be an unexpected surprise if the defeat was not so embarrassing.
But the shock in the heart of Aubrey, the great master, was indescribable.
He looked at Su Lun who was actually cut into pieces by his own silk thread. His eyes were full of disbelief, and he blurted out in surprise: "The secret method of inscribing the body with runes? No wonder there is such a strong body, even a fifth-level one."
Melee professionals are no less willing to give in."
After a pause, he said in a complex tone: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe that one person can integrate so many high-level clothing and be proficient in so many types of techniques. I have to admit, you are the first person I have ever seen.
Among the many geniuses, he must be the first!"
Aubrey has indeed become murderous.
If this kind of enemy grows up in the future, it will definitely be a serious problem.
In Lingdun, he will not allow other puppet schools to shake the status of his elemental puppet lineage.
But after a fight, Aubrey found helplessly that he couldn't kill this junior who was two levels below him!
This feeling of helplessness was something that even professionals at the same level could not give him.
Aubrey looked back at her life, and thought she had seen countless puppet geniuses.
But he has never met a puppet master who made him feel so amazing.
Regardless of his skills, mentality, fighting style, or understanding of puppetry, he is the best he has ever seen among his juniors.
No!
Even among the older generation in the Puppet Masters Guild, few can match
Su Lun listened to the old man who was obviously murderous and praising himself, and he also grinned and responded: "I am quite familiar with your methods, Grand Master. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely come back for advice."
I don't want to waste any time on such a tense battle.
But both sides know that they can't kill each other.
Although there was some blood seeping between Su Lun's teeth when he laughed, it was so funny that he wasn't embarrassed at all.
Because his goal has been achieved: when he finds an opportunity to break the game, he can gain some combat insights in front of this grand master.
At this moment, his arm was entangled with silk threads. Originally, the body of [Rune King Kong] alone would have been impossible to block the old man's natal threads, which he regarded as his trump card.
Because of his domineering attitude, there was a stalemate for a while.
Mr. Jing had told him before that if he wanted to temper his domineering spirit, the best way was to fight enemies who were beyond his level.
Only super-level enemies with super powers can give you a death crisis, can they give you level-level coercion, and the baptism and realization of the domineering power of a strong person.
And Aubrey is a rare and suitable opponent.
If he really had to wait until Su Lun was at the same level as the Grand Master, or until he advanced to the sixth level, this old man wouldn't be able to put so much pressure on himself.
And only among fellow puppet masters, it is easier to see the weaknesses of their opponents at a glance.
This battle.
Suellen also used Aubrey as a mirror and saw too many of her own shortcomings in details.
But he didn't waste any more time, because at this time, he had already found a way to break the situation.
The arm was wrapped in silk threads, and the bloodstains were getting deeper and deeper. It looked like it would be cut into pieces if it could not hold on for a few more breaths.
Su Lun was not panicked at all, because at this moment, the black crow on his shoulder that had been watching the excitement suddenly flapped its wings and flew down.
With a peck from the crow's beak, these special threads that were not easy to be cut by the black sickle immediately turned into pencil lines that looked like they were drawn on Su Lun's skin.
In an instant, the sharp cutting feeling disappeared without a trace.
Aubrey was so shocked that before she could draw the thread, she saw that her thread was being reduced in dimension.
He quickly cut off the piece of thread to avoid being affected by the spread of dimensionality reduction. At the same time, a haze flashed through his eyes, and he thought to himself: "Sad bird? What a freak. How did he get so many great opportunities in one body?"
Even if he didn't want to admit it, after learning about the super luxurious heritage, the grand master who had all the resources of the entire Lingdun Puppet Masters Guild felt unspeakable jealousy in his heart.
Su Lun escaped instantly without wasting any more time.
At this moment, he suddenly pulled away some distance, then let the gargoyle guard him, and pinched out a complex warlock's seal in his hand.
The seven-pointed star alchemy array under your feet gradually lights up, and the space fluctuation becomes stronger and stronger.
Grandmaster Aubrey on the opposite side looked at his move and his eyes suddenly froze!
After fighting for so long, he didn't know that it would be difficult to kill the opponent even if he tried his best.
And the other party is still here because he wants to kill Elsa!
Su Lun didn't give the old man any chance to intervene. The gargoyle blocked a wave of interference spells. As soon as the complex warlock seal that lasted for several seconds was condensed, violent spatial fluctuations suddenly appeared on his body!
Aubrey originally thought that hiding people in [Shadow Puppet] would be foolproof, but now looking at the shaking space around him, his expression suddenly changed: "Not good!"
He understood it at a glance, and was shocked and exclaimed: This guy actually has such a profound ability of the Law of the Void!
The moment the warlock took action, the old man had already guessed what Su Lun was going to do.
But it was too late to stop it, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
Aubrey himself has a [Machine Killing Puppet] that can blend into the void, but it was passed down from his ancestors, and he is not proficient in the secrets of the void.
Now seeing the space around him surging, he could only watch helplessly as his [Shadow Puppet] was forced out of the space crack.
The old man wanted the puppet to remain invisible, but found that an external force had pushed the puppet out, and he was unable to save it!
This is the gap in understanding the law.
Although this [Hidden Puppet] is of a high level, it is inherently flawed for a person who only knows how to activate solidification formations.
It's better to say that when you meet other professionals, when you meet an opponent who is truly proficient in the laws of space, if you observe carefully, you will definitely find opportunities to take advantage of them.
After fighting for so long before, Su Lun was actually calculating how to break the space seal restriction on the puppet and find Elsa hidden inside!
Because the puppet is hidden in a secondary space, there is no real concept of spatial distance.
For Su Lun, there is no difference between a few hundred meters away and being right in front of him, within arm's reach.
If Su Lun chooses to take action, he will definitely act vigorously and resolutely.
As soon as the puppet was forced out of the secondary space, the black crow flew over. Then the whole bird became two-dimensional and turned into a black cloth full of black threads, which directly wrapped the entire puppet and cut off the puppet.
All contacts with the outside world.
"Void Alchemy·Photography from the Sky!"
Su Lun pinched the surgeon's seal again, and a black hole appeared out of thin air in front of his eyes.
He grabbed the void with one hand and pulled out a frightened woman.
Looking at the man who looked like a murderous god in front of her, the aristocratic lady's pupils dilated infinitely, and only the fear of being frightened by death remained in her eyes.
Elsa never expected that her teacher had already taken action, so why could this person still catch her?
But the reality didn't give her a chance to think about it. There was a "click" sound of bones cracking, and Su Lun directly broke her neck.
In order to prevent the old man opposite from having any other life-saving measures, Su Lun even activated the space technique and roughly strangled the woman's head into dozens of pieces of flesh and blood.
Only when he saw the "gray mist" rising from the corpse did he feel relieved.
Seeing the closed disciple being killed in front of his eyes, Aubrey's old face darkened with anger, and a strange flush came over him, "You, you"
Only then did he understand that from the beginning, this guy was not just bluffing, but actually had the ability to kill people!
The cause of the matter was that his disciple was kidnapped and killed by the old man's disciple. This was a deadly feud. Su Lun had no intention of not taking action and said calmly: "I said, you can't protect the person I want to kill."
.”
He immediately harvested the gray mist.
In an instant, Su Lun also confirmed that this matter had nothing to do with Caroline, whom she had met once before. Because although the woman guessed that she was the "God of Death", she did not know that she was "Fick Ray".
Add land".
This also saves the trouble of killing one more person.
He originally thought that it was almost over, but when he thought about the details of the kidnapping, instead of feeling relieved, he frowned sharply.
"Things really aren't that simple."
Su Lun's thoughts flashed through his mind for a moment, and he had no intention of getting into any more entanglements with the old man in front of him. Before leaving, he did not forget to say: "Although your Excellency has a high rank, your understanding of the laws of the void is far inferior to mine. This puppet, I will
Accepted with a smile”
He would not be polite to such an enemy who was already murderous.
At this moment, the black crow has wrapped up the [Machine Killing Puppet], and all the dozens of threads that Aubrey used to implicate the puppet have been reduced to dimensionality.
Su Lun cut off the natal thread that the black scythe had struggled to cut before.
Then without leaving the water, he took his loot into the small void world.
Yes, it's an open grab.
Now, the old man's "seven dwarfs" become "six dwarfs".
As he spoke, the space fluctuated and Su Lun disappeared into the ruins.
Almost at the same time, hundreds of meters away.
Su Lun did not leave the wine street, but teleported among a group of people.
This is the family bodyguard team of the Bach family. They can't participate in that level of battle, but they don't leave either.
Su Lun instantly found a woman in a black suit who was watching the game.
This fourth-level professional is Elsa's personal bodyguard captain.
Suellen looked at Elsa's memories as an outsider, so he also discovered anomalies.
Obviously, this woman did have a grudge against Karma because of the previous Puppet Master competition. However, she had murderous intentions and was "mentally instigated" by someone using the supernatural power of the mysterious system.
The person who instigated this was the bodyguard captain.
Su Lun had seen her in the exhibition hall before, so she took note of this soul wave and immediately found her in the crowd.
Karma's severed hands were the ones she gave to Elsa.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Su Lun, all the bodyguards were shocked.
But before they could react, a burly figure teleported behind the captain.
The gargoyle reached out, its sharp claws wrapped in a space storm directly broke open the body armor, dug out a large bloody hole in her heart, and killed her on the spot.
Su Lun ignored the bodyguards who were taking action and harvesting the "gray mist" from the body of the woman in a suit.
The moment he digested the information, hope suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he was suddenly startled: "Kama is not dead yet!"
The woman in the suit didn't know much information, but it was very crucial.
The kidnappers kidnapped Kama and gave his severed hands to the "middleman."
And when the middleman gave his hand to the woman in the suit, he also told him something important.
That is, Kama is not dead yet!
There is a conversation in my memory as follows:
"Where's the body?"
"Sent to Parrot Street. Lawrence, the leader of the Razor Party, "Bear Bear", has some friendship with me. He hopes that I can help him rescue the emergency and get a few virgin professionals to go there. Anyway, Miss Elsa only needs these hands, and the corpses will be used as trash.
Don't worry, Lawrence will never make mistakes when doing things. I will take care of it."
""
Razor gang, human traffickers, virgin professionals, urgent need
These keywords may still be confusing to others.
But for Su Lun, the information he had was enough for him to judge everything.
When he saw the news, he immediately smelled a strong atmosphere of conspiracy.
I originally thought it was someone taking bait and fishing again.
did not expect,
Someone actually cast a wide net!
After thinking for a moment, Su Lun guessed why Kama was sent to "Parrot Street".
Because there is probably an old monster there who needs to suck the blood of virgins!
Only then did he realize that Kama's kidnapping was actually directly related to the assassination of the old monster Augustna last night.
The purpose of the person behind the scenes is not just to kill an Elsa,
But I want to lead him there in the end!
Su Lun knew that [Lilith's Vampire Ring] could stay young forever, but the prerequisite was that it needed to be nourished by enough girl blood.
Although I don’t know which generation of the Rodriguez family that August is, he is an old monster.
But that guy stayed young forever because of the ring, and the ring also gave him an ability similar to the immortality of a vampire.
I was hit hard by an assassination last night and luckily escaped with my life.
But if you want to survive and recover, you must absorb a large amount of girl blood.
Now that I think about it, I am afraid that it was not because Augustus was so powerful that he escaped with his life, but because the assassin deliberately spared his life.
Just waiting for now!
Wait for Su Lun to come to the door, and then pass on the crime of assassinating the top nobles.
He immediately guessed the whole story and sighed in his heart: "What a good plan! Those guys probably know that Augustus is an important figure in the Rodriguez family. As long as I kill that guy and get captured, even if it's exposed."
Fick's identity, neither the Lance family nor the Regadi family can protect me. In this way, the marriage will be destroyed, several senior members will fall into civil war, and the Luying political situation will completely fall into civil strife. Killing two birds with one stone, no wonder it's deliberate
I’m going to come out here.”
Su Lun knew that his current status was very special.
He is "Fick" and he is also a member of the Dawn Organization.
One person involves several huge forces.
It is again at the critical juncture of the marriage between the Lance family and the Raigadi family.
Therefore, touching him will immediately have the effect of confusing Lu Ying's political situation.
Moreover, the cost is relatively small.
Even if the matter is exposed, it is still a kidnapping and murder case caused by jealousy from beginning to end, and then accidentally involves a "vampire scandal" of the Rodriguez family.
The key is that Su Lun cooperated very well and helped them silence the relevant personnel.
The old monster Augustana may not know that he is being used at this moment.
However, now that he had guessed the motive, it was not difficult for Su Lun to guess the person behind the scenes.
The political situation in Shandong and Ying was in chaos, and the one who benefited the most was Archduke Raphael, who was now the number one military engineer in Shandong and Ying.
If you want to destroy the marriage, there is a high probability that Young Master William will also be involved.
Su Lun was overjoyed to know that Kama was not dead yet.
But after thinking about the ins and outs of the matter,
He couldn't be happy instantly.
Kama may not be dead now just to give him some hope.
But from the moment he knew the news, Kama might have died in August's hands.
Because only this kind of mortal enmity is enough reason for Su Lun to kill Augustus.
From the moment he dared to kill Elsa, he was carefully plotted step by step.
Su Lun figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing, and his eyes shone with coldness: "What happened here, we really need to dig out these rats in the sewer one by one and bring them to light."
But it's not completely impossible.
The kidnapping happened an hour ago.
Because Su Lun acted decisively, he did not waste much time in the investigation until now.
The traffic in Linton in the morning was very congested, and the motorcycle was much slower than his teleportation.
If you go now, you might still have a chance to save people.
And the person behind the scenes probably didn't expect that Su Lun would not deal with the evil believers of the "Giant Hermitage" at all.
I won't hesitate just because I'm from the Rodriguez family.
Those guys didn't know that there was no need to go to such trouble.
Even if there was no kidnapping, if he really heard about August's hiding place, he would go there.
Su Lun was already coveting the [Lilith's Vampire Ring]. It was just that he was struggling with how to get it before, so he didn't rush to do it.
I also happened to know that Augustus was an important leader of the "Hermitage of Giants", and if he killed him, he could get more information about this cult.
I had never been able to kill one on one before.
Now the person behind the scenes is still afraid that he won't be able to kill him, and the assassination last night also severely damaged him.
And as expected, various environments suitable for assassination have been created. There is a high probability that it will be like how he killed Elsa. No high-level professional will intervene before killing Elsa.
Afraid that the opportunity he created would not be perfect enough, Su Lun refused to enter the game.
This is really the best time.
But now these guys have dragged their disciples in. Even if the chance of survival is slim, Su Lun wants to do his best.
The risk is indeed not small, but it will definitely not go as those conspirators wish!
“Parrot Street in Queens”
Su Lun thought about it for a moment and instantly had a response in his mind.
Now that he knew Kama's location, he didn't hesitate at all and used space teleportation to cross the street.
As far as the eye can see, it is thousands of meters in an instant.
Rush there now, there may be a chance to save Kama.
Moreover, when he contacted Sabina, he also got good news. The mysterious king of the Linton underground gang "Shadow Lord" responded that he would intervene in this matter.
Suellen killed Elsa and did not stay at the scene.
And the grand master of puppets, Aubrey, was killed in front of his disciples and did not wait for the mounted police to ask.
What's more, his disciples didn't care about kidnapping and murder, and he didn't have the nerve to tell outsiders.
On the ruins of Chateau Street, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the crowd of onlookers became more and more numerous.
Public security departments like the Rington Police Station arrived just in time, and the fight was finished just in time.
On another block, an inconspicuous steam car from the Lance family drove over.
In the carriage, Grand Duke Bartolo looked at the ruins and there was no excitement. He pursed his lips in disinterest and muttered: "Oh, the fighting was quite fierce. It's a pity that I couldn't see the scene."
He himself is a top powerhouse. He looked at the battle traces and restored some battle scenes in his mind, and said: "Looking at the battle traces, most of the dark gold elemental puppets of [Seven Dwarfs] showed their faces.
Tsk, tsk, that old man Aubrey is trying to kill him, but he hasn't been able to kill him yet. That guy's methods are really getting more and more incomprehensible."
Ekaterina on the side listened to her father's chatter and looked at the surrounding environment expressionlessly.
Suddenly, she shifted her gaze several hundred meters away.
It was on a high ground where you could just see the action in the neighborhood around Chateau Street.
She thought of something and murmured: "The planner and Young Master William should have been there to watch the battle."
Bartolo listened and asked curiously: "Oh? Katyusha, did you use astrology to divination?"
Ekaterina shook her head and said: "William is too conceited. He will definitely come."
Bartolo seemed to understand, and chuckled: "Criminal psychology? Will the perpetrator come to the scene to take a look?"
Yekaterina responded: "No, it's just the character flaw of Young Master William. That kind of person has good talent and always feels that the world revolves around him. Born in the Raigadi family, he has indeed grown up.
It's a pity that he can't withstand setbacks. Once the road is not smooth, his mentality will easily go to extremes and he will not be able to achieve great things."
Bartolo listened a little bored, shrugged and said: "I also think that Young Master William is not very pleasing to my eyes. As for the other boy, I am much more pleasing to my eye. But..."
After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something unpleasant, "Forget it. If I keep talking, I want to beat that guy up again."
Ekaterina listened expressionlessly.
Bartolo glanced at his daughter and asked: "It's not busy here anymore, so where are we going now?"
Yekaterina said: "Keep an eye on the other great congressmen. Especially the two families that have a grudge against Archduke Raphael. There are also the legions and private soldiers under their command. Once there is a large-scale transfer of personnel, they will fight.
Woke up."
Bartolo suddenly understood, and then said: "But by the time we go there, everyone will probably be killed. What else is there to see?"
"After the people are killed, the excitement will begin. Astrology predicts that there will be a rain of blood today, which is a sign of great misfortune. A big 'big shot' should die this time."
Ekaterina played with the pair of purple meteorites in her hands.
As she said that, she pondered for a moment, and then said to herself: "Is it an old guy from some family? Tsk, it's getting more and more interesting."
After teleporting several times, Su Lun appeared in a bustling neighborhood.
Parrot Street in Queens is the famous arms trading market in South City.
The entire street is full of gun retail and modification shops.
The arms business is hugely profitable, and it will inevitably involve gangs.
There are several gangs mixed in this area, the Razor Gang, the Biker Gang, the Fire Thieves, and the Ghost Head Gang are all the small gangs left behind after the three major gangs in Linton, Blackstone, were whitewashed.
Almost all the illegal human trafficking in Ling Duncheng is in the hands of these people.
Although there are not many high-level professionals in the gang, when it comes to kidnapping, no one is more professional than them.
PS. I am still feeling unwell today, so I will make up for it tomorrow.
