The situation was dire.
At that moment, the blade of the fist sword was less than a metre away from Louise. As an ordinary girl who had only learned a little about necromancy, Louise had no ability to react in time. Her two skeletons were also a few metres away and had no ability to rescue her in time.
Louise had never felt so close to death. She could even see the cold gleam of the blade and the smug expression on the assassin's face.
"Heh."
Xu Shenxing casually swatted away the sharp blade. The granite that had been shot to the side produced sparks before it bounced off. Finally, it pierced deeply between the assassin's eyebrows, whose smug expression had yet to fade away.
There was a splashing sound as the assassin's head exploded like a watermelon hit by a bullet. Unknown red, white, and yellow fluids splattered all over the ground along with bone fragments.
Although Louise had been fighting a battle of wits and courage with her pursuers for a long time, and had even let her skeletons kill enemies before, this was the first time she had seen such an explosive scene at such a close distance. She could not help but vomit.
"Wah wah, I wanted to leave him alive …"
Xu Shenxing, who had seen even more exciting and juicy scenes than this, didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. He just felt that the other party was quite unlucky. He had already shown mercy, but he was still hit by a ricochet and died just like that. He couldn't be any more dead.
Fortunately, even if he failed here, there were still two skeletons he could use to get information.
Thus, he turned around to see if he could find time to grab someone from the skeletons.
In the end, he found that the two skeletons were already lying on the ground. The skeleton called Cooper was still using his kukri to chop off the heads of the corpses as if he was afraid that they were not completely dead.
Although Xu Shenxing was surprised that Louise's two skeletons were stronger than he had expected, it was an unbelievable situation for someone who had fought thousands of battles. However, he quickly thought of the reason behind it.
Everyone knew that skeletons existed because of the necromancers who provided them with magic. As long as the necromancer died, these unnaturally formed skeletons that were summoned through magic would become harmless skeletons. Thus, when they saw that their companion was about to kill Louise, the two mercenaries with heavy weapons relaxed slightly.
When Xu Shenxing suddenly struck the assassin's head, the two mercenaries who had been paying attention were naturally stunned.
The skeletons' battle was basically unaffected by external factors (unless the necromancer was GG). In addition, their previous weak performance was mostly due to the fact that their battle instincts had yet to adapt to their light bodies. Taking advantage of the enemy's sluggish state, the skeletons directly sent them on their way..
After all, a real battle wasn't like a game. In this world where supernatural elements weren't too strong, being cut didn't just result in a little HP loss, it was the same as being in real life.
Once a vital part was cut, no matter how skilled the person was, only death awaited them. Thus, in reality, this kind of battle was almost always ended quickly. It was basically impossible to fight for three days and three nights in a wuxia game.
"Tsk, I wanted to get some more information …"
In the end, Xu Shenxing could only sigh at the few corpses that were about to be chopped into minced meat.
"Lord Evil God, do you have any information you want to know?"
Louise, who had almost vomited her gall bladder, finally caught her breath. She tried hard to look away, no longer looking at the headless corpses and the minced meat on the ground. She asked Xu Shenxing somewhat weakly.
Compared to the somewhat casual feeling before, she was clearly much more respectful to Xu Shenxing now.
It was probably because Xu Shenxing's' cruel methods' had frightened her, allowing her to confirm Xu Shenxing's identity as the Evil God.
"Didn't you say before that there aren't many people in this world with supernatural powers?"
Xu Shenxing didn't correct her thoughts, and only asked her, "But in this mercenary group of four, there are two people who can use special abilities, right?"
First, there was the first person who held the Scottish Highland two-handed greatsword. He seemed to be able to attach some kind of alchemy powder to the sword, giving it an enchantment effect.
Then there was the Hitman who could hide in the shadows.
Among them, the Hitman mainly showed the ability to move in stealth, block a fatal attack for himself with a prop, and use some kind of special energy to shoot blades.
"I'm not too sure … but they should be a small mercenary group. If they take the elite route, it's not impossible to obtain supernatural powers through alchemy and magical props. "
Louise guessed with uncertainty. "If a large mercenary group had discovered us, we would have been surrounded by hundreds of people, not just four."
'Just a few hundred people, I could have surrounded them all by myself!'
In response, Xu Shenxing pursed his lips noncommittally.
Apart from what he said, he also wanted to see if what Louise said before was true through the description of the common sense of this world, and use it to determine his future actions. Of course, it would be even better if he could ask where his head was.
"Um, Evil God, won't you interrogate their souls or something?" The girl asked with trepidation.
"I'm not in charge of that. Well, the Evil God Mo Li is the expert in this field." Xu Shenxing continued to talk nonsense with a straight face.
Fortunately, Xu Shenxing didn't care about this small matter. Since he couldn't get the information he wanted from the captives, he might as well go out and see the world with his own eyes.
"Take off these dead people's clothes and change into them."
Xu Shenxing kicked the headless corpse.
"Evil God?"
"Isn't your wish to revive your family? If that's the case, you won't be able to accomplish it by hiding in this place, right? "
Hearing Xu Shenxing's words, the girl hesitated for a moment, and then her gaze became firm.
"But I'm a girl? Won't it feel weird to wear this kind of male mercenary leather armor, and people will find out? "
Even so, Louise still asked anxiously.
"It's okay." Xu Shenxing calmly gave her a thumbs up and comforted her. "I guarantee with my own divinity, with your figure and appearance, no one will find out."
"I don't think that's a compliment, Evil God?!"
Louise wanted to cry, but no tears came out. She checked her chest, but found nothing.
