Chapter 18: Su Xiao's Assassination Skills

After drinking a few glasses of strong wine, King Iron Feather stood up, put down two gold pounds, and walked out of the tavern. He actually knew everything, but he was powerless.

In the noisy streets, no one saluted King Iron Feather. The common people did not recognize this old man at all. No, if the common people could still recognize him a few decades ago, it would make King Iron Feather a little troubled.

With no servants or guards, King Iron Feather walked alone on the street, not walking fast, but no civilians would block his way and would subconsciously get out of the way. This was his momentum.

Su Xiao waited in the tavern until noon before Bubu Wang arrived.

"Woof."

Boo Boo Wang is separated from the environment.

"Li Lin is going to get rid of that old fox tonight? It's normal."

Su Xiao was still a little confused before, as to why the old Duke was so cooperative and proactively provided information. Now it seems that the old guy has discovered that even if he hides in the Holy Court, he is not so safe.

"Where is Li Lin?"

"Woof."

Bubuwang tilted his head and raised his paws and stepped on the ground, meaning: "Li Lin is in the city of Arans."

"Go and notify Baha and let him and Eminem wait at the predetermined location."

Su Xiao took Bubu Wang out of the tavern and went straight to the west side of Alans City, where Li Lin was at the west side of the city.

When Su Xiao found Duke Li Lin, he was at home with a cup of black tea and a frown. This property was a three-story building given to Li Lin by Duke Angry Lion.

"Kukulin, you're here, sit down."

Li Lin put down the black tea cup in his hand and signaled the servant to pour a cup for Su Xiao.

"Bai Long was killed this morning."

"I've been there and just came back not long ago, eh~"

Li Lin leaned on the seat and gently rubbed his forehead with three fingers.

"The situation on the front line is not optimistic, and something like this happened in Arans. Cuculin, in your opinion, what will be the future of the empire?"

"The country will be destroyed."

"Destroy the country? The empire will not perish. Those polar people in the northern continent have no idea what they have to face. Even if the empire perishes one day, it will only be because of the abyss."

Li Lin's tone was determined, or in other words, this was his belief. If even he firmly believed that the empire would be defeated by the Northern Alliance, then the empire would really be defeated.

"Eliza."

Li Lin's face showed a rare warmth. Hearing his shout, a lady came over.

"Let the servants go in person..."

After Li Lin gave a few simple explanations, the noble lady named Eliza opened the door and left the three-story building, and went to prepare the ingredients for lunch herself.

"Cukulin, stay and have lunch before leaving."

"..."

Lidya Su didn't speak, just sat there.

"At least, let Eliza go, she is innocent, not even a saint."

Duke Li Lin raised his hand to unbutton his chest and pulled off the jewelery on his collar.

"..."

Su Xiao still didn't speak. He was waiting for the imperial army to completely surround this place.

At this moment, Li Lin's hand paused, and he smelled the smell of blood nearby, the fresh smell of blood. As a saint, he was very familiar with this smell. It was human blood, Eliza's blood.

"Kill me, those soldiers don't dare to do it, Alf doesn't want to bear the infamy, White Wolf is too selfish, so is it you, is it up to you to take my life, Cukulin White Night."

Li Lin seemed to be saying meaningless words, but in fact, he was stalling for time, waiting for the subordinates of the Gods Association to come for reinforcements.

Unfortunately, he couldn't wait any longer. Eminem and Baha had already gone to attack the underground headquarters of the Gods Association. The same time Su Xiao met Duke Li Lin was the time for Eminem and Baha to take action.

Su Xiao has already caught Li Lin out, so of course he will not give the other party a chance to arrange a place to ambush Duke Li Lin? This is completely unworkable. Li Lin will definitely notice it in advance.

Su Xiao basically didn't make any preparations. She just asked Bubu Wang to monitor Li Lin. Once the members of the Society of Gods showed up, Bubu Wang would be able to follow the clues and find the hiding place of the Society of Gods.

After that, Su Xiao will find Li Lin without making too many preparations. This will have the advantage that Li Lin won't notice it and won't be too defensive.

In the end, Su Xiao approached Duke Li Lin alone, and the soldiers surrounding the small building were recruited by the old Duke.

Duke Li Lin noticed something was wrong with the simple conversation just now, but it was too late.

boom!

A loud noise came from outside the small building, and flames burned the wall on one side of the small building.

"Lord Li Lin, my subordinates will be here soon!"

Rough roars were heard, followed by soldiers shouting to kill. It was not easy for the intruder to break through the defense line of hundreds of soldiers. In addition, nearby soldiers were coming in a steady stream, making it basically impossible to break through.

Li Lin killed Duke Furious Lion. Even though Duke Furious Lion did nothing, he still had many confidants.

On the second floor of the small building, Duke Li Lin slowly stood up, his pupils gradually opened, and a strange life force surged around him.

Click, click, click...

The seven potted plants placed in the room grew rapidly and soon pierced the walls and floors, showing their arrogant vitality.

Su Xiao was still sitting on the wooden chair, not even pulling out the long knife at her waist.

"Sela will never perish."

Li Lin held it with one hand, and the branches of the trees behind him surged. This is the Dawn Tree, which is both the emblem of Duke Li Lin and his weapon.

Didi didi...

The rapid electronic sound came from below, the sound was very small, and it seemed to come from deep underground.

Boom~

A dull explosion sounded from underground, the three-story building trembled, large cracks spread on the wall, and the ground sank rapidly.

The three-story building disappeared into the ground, a huge pit appeared, and the ground collapsed.

More than twenty meters underground, sunlight shines down from the hole above, illuminating this underground space.

The whole process lasted only 2 minutes and 59 seconds, and the six miners from Tianqi created such an underground space. It can only be said that they are professionals when it comes to digging.

"It's done."

"Run!"

After a brief conversation, the six miners ran along the underground passage, but they set up monitoring equipment before leaving. They were prepared to watch the battle remotely to see what would happen next.

Among the ruins of a building, a plant ball unfolded, and Duke Li Lin walked out of it.

Zheng!

The sword suddenly appeared, and Su Xiao suddenly appeared in front of Duke Li Lin.

The long knife cut open Duke Li Lin's torso without any obstruction, cutting him into two pieces. However, blood did not gush out from the broken part of the torso, but green shoots sprouted, pulling the upper half of Duke Li Lin's body back.

Wound healing.

This is the power of saints, or in other words, this is the power of the undead. They have no obvious vital points. Even if their heads are cut off, they can survive as long as they are put back in a short time.

Click, click, click...

The branches of the tree grew wildly, spreading out into a large area in an instant, crushing towards Su Xiao, preparing to entangle Su Xiao in it and absorb his blood.

Su Xiao looked around, sheathed her long sword, and made a drawing and slashing gesture.

Ding, ding!

Cross slash marks appeared, and the spreading branches stopped. The next moment, they exploded into large pieces of broken branches and leaves.

Just as Su Xiao was about to take a step forward, a sharp thorn made of twisted branches suddenly broke out of the ground. Because of his movement, the branch pierced in front of him.

Su Xiao immediately jumped back and slashed with his sword in mid-air, cutting off the thorns in front of him. With the sharpness of the dragon flash, even if these dawn trees were blessed with vitality, they would not be able to withstand them.

Dozens of meters away, Duke Li Lin saw this and clasped his hands together.

With a roar, dozens of sharp thorns entwined from branches and more than ten meters in length broke out of the ground and stabbed at Su Xiao at various angles, growing rapidly on the way.

‘Bendō Sword·Kill.’

With a cry, a huge blood-colored chain was slashed out, chopping up all the sharp thorns entangled in the branches.

Just when Duke Li Lin was about to continue stimulating the vitality of the plants, a tingling sensation came from his chest.

Pfft~

The Exile in the form of a broken blade burst out of Li Lin's chest, the light blue arc flashed, and Li Lin felt the sharp pain just now again.
