The commotion on the ground is so loud now that the people from the Wind Wolf Mercenary Group who entered the ruins have no intention of coming out to check.
Was it because they were too deep into the ruins that they didn't hear the sound?
Or is it because those people have other conditions inside?
However, now that [Night Cat] Yule is dead, as long as [Rock Bear] White does not come in person, there will no longer be anyone in the entire Wind Wolf Mercenary Group that can make Raymond afraid.
...
"boom!"
On the other hand, the mercenaries guarding the exit of the ruins did not know what the fighting situation was like in the jungle.
Before, they wanted to help Youle surround Raymond, but because they couldn't keep up with the speed of the black panther, they had no choice but to give up. Now looking at the colorful mushroom cloud exploding like thunder on the ground, they obviously understood the situation of the battle.
It was more intense than expected.
"That's...Captain Yule's 'Nine Arrows Falling Star'! Oh my God, she actually used this move!"
"This power is so terrifying... I'm afraid even Captain White won't be able to withstand this blow."
"Since Captain Yule used this move, the enemy will definitely die..."
"I'm afraid I'm not that optimistic... That guy was able to kill Captain Marion in one fell swoop, and even forced Captain Yule to use life-saving stunts. The battle was probably far more tragic than we imagined..."
"..."
The mercenaries held their weapons nervously and swallowed their saliva as they looked at the direction of the explosion in the distant forest. At this moment, they only hoped that [Night Cat] Yule could kill the terrifying enemy, otherwise the consequences would be serious.
horrible.
"Just now, we wanted to kill that scary guy?"
"Phew...I think I must be crazy!"
Especially the few mercenaries who had been ordered to kill Raymond and the others broke out in cold sweat, as if they had walked at the gate of hell and came back with half their lives.
If that man hadn't planned to kill them first, but directly teleported to kill Captain Marion, with his terrifying swordsmanship that could kill a Sequence 7 Transcendent, how many of us would have survived?
Raymond's operation of descending a magic weapon from the sky to counterattack in a desperate situation shocked everyone.
Not just the group of mercenaries,
The most shocking thing was the two siblings Matthew and Elijah who had been together day and night for several days.
In such a desperate situation just now, they were already certain to die, but they never thought that the Nicholas brother beside them, who had always been taciturn, actually burst out with amazing combat power at the last moment, directly killing the opponent's Sequence 7 captain-level master.
, now there is a faint tendency to fight back in desperate situation!
Moreover, judging from the astonishing magnitude of the explosion, no matter who caused the movement, it proved that Nicholas's strength was probably far beyond their imagination.
"It's really him..."
Matthew was certainly not stupid and immediately connected a lot of information in his mind.
Just now he saw Lei Meng kill an elite Sequence 7 mercenary with two swings of his sword, and he immediately thought of the previous incident where the "Black Mercenary Group" was wiped out.
"It turns out that he was the one who really killed Black Snake's people..."
Only then did Matthew wake up. Thinking deeply about it, he immediately felt a numb scalp.
Originally, he thought that Raymond was just an ordinary swordsman at Sequence 8, probably a small rural nobleman inherited from an ancient polymath family... He didn't expect that he could explode with such terrifying combat power now!
Moreover, his green-faced and fanged state just now was obviously that of the legendary "vampire"!
This Nicholas not only possesses such a shocking swordsmanship, but also possesses that ancient blood race inheritance. From all the signs and expressions, he is definitely not a Sequence 8 transcendent!
Maybe he is a high-level transcendent who suppressed his cultivation with secret methods.
Maybe Sequence 7, Sequence 6... or even Sequence 5!
"By the way, there is also the wanted order for Zhang Tianlan's navy!"
At this time, Matthew slapped his forehead fiercely, and a picture flashed in his mind.
He immediately thought of the reward notice in the newspaper a few days ago, and suddenly realized, "It turns out that the mysterious master who killed the senior executive of Tianlan Military Intelligence in the back alley of the Red Dragon Tavern was probably him..."
If it was a coincidence, Matthew would never believe it!
People like Nicholas obviously have no interest in drinking or women, but that night, they happened to meet him in the pub.
I didn't know he had such terrifying combat power before, so Matthew didn't associate him with the mysterious master who had a bounty on his head. But now it seems that this mysterious Nicholas can kill a Sequence 7 druid with one strike, 80% of the time.
Kill the Sequence 6 Military Intelligence executive with one blow!
Suddenly, he was so frightened when he thought about it that the hairs on his back stood on end.
So,
A man with such terrifying strength followed his small team to the Niguel Volcano to hunt for treasure...could it be because of this ruin?
A violent explosion in the distance shook the ground, and Ilya was also shocked and said: "Brother...why is that uncle so powerful?"
Matthew looked at his sister, his expression was a little complicated, or was it because of his stupid girl?
Thinking of this, he shook his head.
Even though he knew that Raymond had hidden terrifying strength, at this moment, Matthew still believed in his intuition. If Fatty thought about it, if he really came for the ruins, with his strength, he could have snatched the treasure map and hunt for it himself.
...
No matter how you look at it, that Nicholas doesn’t have any ill intentions towards their siblings!
...
On the other hand,
[Night Cat] As soon as Yule died, Raymond started to clean up the mess.
He clearly sensed the "qi" of every mercenary lurking in the jungle. No matter how well they disguised themselves, they could not escape the fate of being killed with a single blow.
In order to hide their secrets, these mercenaries must be killed!
Not long after,
He slowly walked out of the jungle holding the blood-stained sword, like the God of Death coming from hell to harvest the souls of the dead, with no emotion at all except numbness on his face.
at this moment,
The seven or eight mercenaries who left their hands at the entrance of the ruins naturally saw the person coming.
When they saw clearly that the person coming out of the forest was Raymond, their faces turned pale.
"Look! That guy is back..."
"Then... doesn't it mean that Captain Yule has also been killed?!"
"The combined fighting power of Captain Yule and Shadow Cheetah is comparable to that of a Sequence 6 master! And when fighting in the jungle, even if they can't be defeated, they can definitely escape. How could she be killed by a Sequence 8 swordsman?"
"If Captain Youle can use the life-saving 'nine arrows falling to the star' stunt, I'm afraid he has really killed the captain."
"What kind of terrifying opponent have we provoked... He is definitely not a Sequence 8, but a high-level transcendent who hides his strength!"
"It's useless to say that now! Let's all come together and kill him!"
"..."
Raymond walked over in such a leisurely manner.
With every step they took, the mercenaries' hearts trembled.
The sword light was dazzling, so fast that no trace could be seen.
The ordinary iron sword in front of me, with its handle polished to a shiny shine, was like a scythe of death, harvesting the lives of the mercenaries.
Every time a sword is struck, someone is bound to die.
The moves are clean and neat, without any unnecessary movements.
This swordsmanship seems to exist only for killing people.
"This...could it be that he also learned the quick sword inheritance of Soderos's lineage?"
Cook also learned the Kuai Sword style, and he could better understand the horror of Raymond's swordsmanship at this moment. It was this swordsmanship that seemed to come from the same source as his own, and when used in the hands of that guy, it actually felt like returning to nature.
Feel.
There are no cool and fancy sword moves, nor any mysterious martial arts skills, just ordinary chopping, slashing, teasing, stabbing, and swinging...
But the sword strikes seemed to be just right, killing each other without wasting any extra energy.
This is the real master of swordsmanship!
Only then did Cook realize that his sword skills were nothing compared to him.
He remembered his teacher once said,
"Practicing swordsmanship is like boiling a pot of thick soup, simmering it slowly over low heat, step by step."
He didn't understand it deeply before, but it really dawned on him at this moment.
My own quick sword is gorgeous and versatile, just like the oil floating on the soup; while the sword skills of the person in front of me look simple and unpretentious, but they are already the essence of the five flavors in the soup.
"This...is he really the guy I met before..."
Cook watched that guy kill the mercenaries cleanly, and his heart tightened. Then he saw him walking slowly, but as if he ignored his existence, he passed by again.
At this moment, Cook realized how ridiculous he was.
It turns out that others have never taken my meager swordsmanship seriously.
No matter on the previous ship or now.
At this moment of life and death, he couldn't even muster the courage to draw his sword. In Raymond's body, Cook didn't see any flaw that could lead to his sword...
It's ridiculous that I provoked him so arrogantly on the boat,
Now that I think about it, how ignorant...
"hehe.."
A sad smile appeared on Cook's face,
The blood line on his neck has gradually become obvious, his throat is choked with hot blood, and breathing has become very difficult.
"His sword is really fast..."
Cook slowly closed his eyes, his knees softened, he knelt on the ground weakly, and died.
Before he died, he seemed to have grasped something, and the last thought in his heart gradually dissipated.
"Is this the real Kuai Jian style..."
...
Raymond slowly walked towards the Matthew brothers and sisters, and smiled slightly at the stunned two people.
Although he has transformed from the demon mentality back to a normal human form, the blood between his teeth is still there. This smile, with his mouth full of white and red blood teeth, makes people feel even more chilled in their hearts.
Matthew watched the murderous intent in Raymond's eyes disappear, and his worried heart finally relaxed.
He bit the bullet and asked: "Brother Nicholas, who are you?"
Raymond smiled and asked, "Didn't you already guess it?"
With Fatty's mind, it was really strange that he didn't guess that he was the wanted swordsman with a bounty on his head in the newspaper.
When Matthew heard this, his fat face couldn't help but tremble.
He glanced at Cook's body not far away... He still felt a little afraid in his heart.
Matthew swallowed his saliva, and instead of letting people think about it, why not bring it up himself: "Then... you... you followed us because of this ruins?"
If giving up the ruins can save his life, he will definitely not hesitate.
"Don't be so nervous."
Raymond looked relaxed, wiped the blood on the sword blade, slowly put it into the scabbard, and said with a smile: "I came to Niguel Volcano for other things, I just came to see the ruins with you."
Hearing this, Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.
Things have reached this point, and lies have no meaning.
Seeing that the atmosphere is about to relax,
But at this moment, Ilya suddenly spoke.
This girl actually pulled her brother's sleeve stupidly and asked timidly: "Brother, if we know his secret, will he kill us to silence us?"
The sound is very small, but it cannot be hidden from the ears of extraordinary people.
The fat man's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was tense.
Come on, people didn’t mean it originally, but you reminded me and it happened immediately.
Sure enough, when Raymond heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
He kept a straight face, deliberately showing a bad expression, and said sullenly: "Of course I will silence you!"
"ah!"
Hearing this, Ilya screamed in horror.
She buried her head and covered her eyes like an ostrich, her branches trembling with fear.
At this moment, the deadly sword did not come, but she suddenly heard a crisp sound of bells, and she fell into a trance.
After a while...
Ilya opened his eyes and happened to watch Raymond put away the small copper bell in his hand.
Matthew also heard the ringing, and he was also in a daze. When he woke up, he naturally realized what seemed to have happened just now.
He didn't dare to ask any more questions for fear of touching more of Raymond's secrets.
Ilya also understood that he had been frightened just now. He pursed his lips and a blush flashed across his pretty face.
But this girl seemed to be careless and asked directly: "Uncle, what did you just do? Why do I feel that the sound of the bell is so dizzy..."
Matthew's face twitched when he heard this, and he quickly wanted to grab this stupid girl, fearing that he would anger her. But he turned to look at Raymond who didn't seem to mind, and he was really relieved.
Raymond didn't intend to hide it, and said directly: "I just used a little hypnosis method to add a stress reflex to your memory. If someone uses mental torture to hypnotize you in the future, the dialogue I set will be triggered.
..."
He had seen this spell [Deep Memory False Modification] in Vanessa's notes.
This special mental secret method is a mental barrier set up to prevent people from using mental torture to explore secrets. Aphra, the descendant of Sodros who died at the beginning, has done similar mental defense, but the magic is more sophisticated.
Just a few.
"If someone asks in the future, everything here can be told truthfully, except that I changed a few details. It was not me, Nicholas Zhao Si, who took action, but a mysterious masked swordsman lurking..."
With that said, Raymond gave a rough explanation and said: "If you are mentally tortured, others will also get this result."
Matthew also understood and nodded.
This Nicholas did not choose to kill and silence him, but instead asked his brothers and sisters to keep the secret for him.
After reaching this point, the fat man really breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that his back felt cold, and it turned out that cold sweat had soaked his entire back.
"Thank you very much..."
"Just remember to keep it a secret. My identity cannot be exposed for the time being."
"That's natural."
At this time, Matthew looked at the door of the ruins again and said hesitantly: "Um...brother Nicholas, they are still inside, what should we do?"
"Let me go in and take a look first. You guys just wait for me here."
Raymond looked at the gate of the ruins, frowned slightly, and explained a little more: "There is so much movement up here, and the people below don't react at all. I'm afraid it's not that simple in this ruins. It will be very dangerous for you to go in."
"oh."
Matthew thought about it and nodded, "Then...Brother Nicholas, please pay attention to your safety."
"Um."
Without saying much, Raymond took out the Shadow Cloak and Mendelo Mask, put them on himself, and carefully walked into the gate of the ruins.
When Matthew saw his attire, he remembered the portrait description of the reward notice in the newspaper. The suspect was wearing a ghost mask and a black cloak. Wasn't he just the same as before?
When Ilya saw the "Mandero's Curse Mask", a sense of familiarity flashed through his crystal eyes.
She tilted her head with a puzzled look on her face, where had she seen it before?
