The Fatal Thirteen Swords was indeed powerful, but it was not invincible.
Although once the fifteenth sword was used, it would definitely kill, but Fangzheng knew the weakness.
That was, the premise was that the swordsman must make a perfect move from the first to the fourteenth sword, and then he could draw out the fifteenth sword.
So someone asked, Can't I make the fifteenth sword at the beginning? Isn't that a sure win?
This was the reason, but it was impossible. This was like playing a fighting game. To make a big move, you had to accumulate qi. If you wanted to make a big move without accumulating qi, it would be a dream.
What's more, the extraordinary fifteenth sword didn't mean that the other fourteen swords were just decorations. In fact, if this swordsmanship was compared to a plant, then the first thirteen swords of the Fatal Thirteen Swords were equivalent to the plant's roots, the fourteenth sword was the green leaf, and the last fifteenth sword was the blooming flower.
Not to mention that the Fatal Thirteen Swords was Yan Shisan's famous unique skill. Many people even died under his sword before he finished the thirteen swords. There were very few people who could really see the changes of his fourteenth sword. The only one who was qualified to see the fifteenth sword was Xie Xiaofeng in the entire pugilistic world.
Of course, there was also Fangzheng. But he didn't use him to compare. After all, Fangzheng was not a standard player. His end would be a GM bullying ordinary players.
So although the Fatal Thirteen Swords was powerful, it was not invincible. The way to break this move was very simple. As long as the opponent was killed before the fifteenth sword was used.
For Fangzheng, no matter the opponent was Yan Shisan or Chi Tong, he only needed one sword to kill them, so he naturally didn't need to use the remaining fourteen swords.
And in this world, even if Scarlet Eye could smoothly master the Thirteen Deadly Swords, it still depended on whether her opponent would give her the opportunity or not. Rhine Harut might fail due to his Knight's Grace, and Esdeath probably had a 50-50 chance. But Fangzheng believed that Lina Impas would never give Scarlet Eye the chance anyway. She would send her to the grave with a Dragon Break Slash.
Of course, if Chi Tong was willing to learn, Fangzheng directly gave her a power transfer and let her comprehend it by herself.
But from Mine's point of view, it was terrifying.
She did not know what Chi Tong had been through. She only knew that apart from eating and sleeping, Chi Tong would sit alone in the training ground and carve wood with a short knife. It was as if he was possessed, and he would not reply to her even when she spoke. Although Akame used to be a taciturn person, in Mine's opinion, why did she seem to be possessed by a ghost?
"Wait, what did you do to Chi Tong? That's my boss' most precious object. Let me tell you, if anything happens to Chi Tong, my boss will come after you! "
"Don't worry. She's just comprehending the sword technique. There's no big problem."
Fangzheng obviously wouldn't be scared by Mine's words. He casually sent her away and immediately changed the topic.
"Alright, it's almost time for work. Come with me."
"Eh? Wait, what's your request? "
Hearing this, Mine immediately took two steps back vigilantly and looked at Fangzheng.
"You don't need to work today, because our goal today is more troublesome. You can find a place outside to watch the fun."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Mine's eyebrows suddenly raised.
"What do you mean? Do you think I'm in the way?"
"That's right."
Fangzheng nodded slightly.
"My goal today is the Duke of Croatia, understand?"
"Wait, do you really want to deal with him?"
Hearing this, Mine's face suddenly changed. The Duke of Croatia was a relative of the royal family and an important figure among the ministers. Of course, the cruel things that the empire did everywhere were almost all related to him. In short, this was a greedy, cruel and terrifying man.
Night Raid had tried to kill him several times, but it was almost impossible, because …
"You know what? It's General Bude who is responsible for protecting him! That's a strong man who is as famous as Esdeath! "
Yes, this was the reason why Night Raid had never done anything to the Duke of Croatia. It was not that they didn't want to kill him, but they couldn't beat him. General Bude was responsible for guarding the imperial capital and the royal family, so his reputation was not prominent outside, but the strength of him and his guards was obvious to all.
"I know, that's why I want to kill him."
However, Fangzheng's answer was beyond Mine's expectation.
"I just want to let that Bude see what will happen to the scum he protects. This is a beginning, a declaration. Isn't Bude responsible for protecting the royal family? From today on, I will kill everyone he is responsible for protecting, one by one, until the emperor. "
"You … you're crazy …"
Hearing this, Mine looked at Fangzheng as if she was looking at a madman.
"Today, the Duke of Croatia will give a speech in the noble area. Well, this is a good opportunity. You should go to the back mountain outside the imperial capital and wait. Today, you are only responsible for observation, don't take any action. Bude is not the kind of guy you can kill casually. Just treat it as a good show. "
"Woo … since you said so, then I'd like to see how you are going to kill the Duke of Croatia under the protection of General Bude!"
For Mine's question, Fangzheng didn't need to answer at all.
He would only speak with his actions.
Strictly speaking, the Duke of Croatia did not enjoy the "personal protection" of Bude. After all, he was not the emperor, and he did not have this qualification.
This time, the Duke of Croatia held a speech in the square of the noble area. He stood on the balcony on the third floor of a luxurious building next to the square of the noble area. There were guards everywhere, and General Bude was responsible for guarding and protecting the gate, prohibiting others from entering.
"Dang … Dang …"
With the ringing of the bell, petals fell, and a man in a luxurious dress, who looked rather gloomy, came out of the room. He walked to the balcony, looked at the crowd below, and raised his hands.
"Everyone, we all know that the imperial capital is now facing the threat of the thugs!"
That's right, this time the Duke of Croatia came on behalf of the emperor to appease the people. After all, Mine's cannon a few days ago also blew up the entire noble area. No one wanted to be blown up into the sky along with the whole room when they were sleeping. At that time, even the corpse could not be recognized. That would be really miserable!
Therefore, during this time, many nobles even wanted to leave the imperial capital and find a quiet place to hide … At least they would not have to worry about being blown up!
Of course not. The nobles and bureaucrats were the foundation to maintain the operation of the empire. If they all ran away, the emperor would not even be able to leave the palace.
That was why the Croatian Duke was ordered to speak here on behalf of the Emperor. The general gist of the speech was that no matter how arrogant those thugs were, they were no match for the Empire, and so on. In short, it was to reassure the people. For example, the reason that someone was blown up was because he had hidden explosives under his house, and the thugs were lucky enough to ignite the explosives and blow up the house.
Of course, Fangzheng was not in the mood to listen to his nonsense. The building was surrounded by the imperial guards, and there was no space for him to sneak in. Of course, this was the case in principle.
But this did not mean that Fangzheng had no other way.
He did not directly approach the building, but turned a corner in the alley, then climbed the wall of another house directly to the roof. Then Fangzheng lowered his body and quickly ran along the roof to the tall white building in front of him.
"Hmph, so mysterious, just like a monkey."
Seeing this scene, Mine, who was outside, ridiculed. Then she saw Fangzheng run all the way to the end, and then he leaped forward!
"Is he crazy?"
Seeing this scene, Mine suddenly screamed. One must know that the building was more than ten meters away from the building where Fangzheng was. It was impossible for him to jump over from this side!
In fact, this was also the case. After all, the attributes of this body were the attributes of the soul stone itself, not Fangzheng's. And no matter how powerful this person was, it was impossible for him to jump to this point. So Mine saw Fangzheng passing by the building and directly falling down …
"— — — —!!"
Just when Mine was about to scream in fear, she saw Fangzheng suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed the windowsill on the wall. Then, he took advantage of the momentum and pulled up. He stabilized his swaying body and quickly climbed up the eaves.
"Phew …"
Seeing this, Mine finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just at that moment, she thought that Fangzheng would definitely fail. She didn't expect that he didn't jump directly to the eaves, but chose the windowsill below … But this guy was too courageous. Didn't he think about what if that place suddenly collapsed?
Of course, Fangzheng didn't think about it. This was also the "rule power" of this soul stone. As long as he could climb, it would never collapse!
After all, he didn't take Laura's and Drake's soul stones. If it were these two guys, Fangzheng would have to be careful of collapsing on the flat ground!
Fangzheng turned over and jumped onto the eaves. Then, the hidden blade in his hand flashed and directly pierced the back of the guard who had just turned around. He quickly put him down. He held the body of the guard, and while he was sliding down, he pulled out the crossbow behind him and pulled the trigger at the other guard on the opposite side. The crossbow arrow directly shot into the throat of the guard, killing him instantly.
"Plop!!"
The guard fell directly to the ground. The sound made the soldiers in charge of guarding in front turn around hurriedly. However, at this moment, Fangzheng had put down the body in his hand and stood up. He raised his hands, and two throwing knives were inserted into the heads of the two soldiers. Their bodies shook and suddenly fell to the ground.
Was it a lie to say that Little Li's throwing knives were not in vain?!
So powerful!
Looking at how Fangzheng killed the guards on the roof so easily, Mine couldn't help but scream. To be honest, she always felt that this man was particularly hateful, but now looking at him fighting, he didn't have the cowardice of an assassin at all. He looked very gloomy. Instead, he made people feel that his movements were smooth and graceful, like dancing.
In contrast, the assassination of Night Raid and others was like the act of a third-rate bandit …
But what should she do next?
From Mine's position, she could clearly see the Duke of Croatia who was giving a speech. Fangzheng was currently on the roof above her, but the problem was that in front of the Duke of Croatia were nobles who came to listen to his speech. So many people looked up at him. As soon as Fangzheng showed up, he would be discovered immediately. Then, how could he carry out the assassination?
Jump down directly? Although it was not impossible, Mine felt that this was not like Fangzheng's style …
At this moment, the Duke of Croatia who had finished his speech also raised his hands.
"Long live the emperor!!"
At the same time, Fangzheng took out three balls from his arms and threw them out.
"Bang bang bang!!"
With three soft sounds, the balls exploded instantly. Then, the flying petals scattered all over the sky. Seeing this scene, everyone present couldn't help but exclaim and sigh. They all thought that this was the end of the Duke of Croatia's plan, so they were quite surprised at this moment.
The Duke of Croatia himself was also taken aback. He raised his head in surprise and looked at the petals scattered in the air.
He didn't give the order to do this kind of thing right? Who did it?
It's not bad, but it's a little shabby. If there were fireworks or something ….
"Pfft."
However, the Duke of Croatia's thoughts stopped there.
When the petals scattered, everyone withdrew their gaze again, only to find that there was a man in a white robe behind the Duke of Croatia.
He stood there motionless. The Duke of Croatia stared ahead with his eyes wide open. Then, everyone saw the man in the white robe gently push the Duke of Croatia. The next moment, the Duke of Croatia fell directly from the balcony!
"Bang!!"
The Duke of Croatia fell directly to the ground from the third floor, causing a burst of screams. At this moment, General Bude also turned his head to look at the balcony, then he saw a figure standing there without saying a word.
The other party's face was covered by a hood, so only his chin could be seen, but Budo could feel that he was staring at him.
No, that's not important.
What's important is that he actually killed a member of the royal family in public!!
At this moment, General Budo could no longer suppress his anger. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Fangzheng and roared.
"Assassin!!!"
