The imposter seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He reached out and grabbed Schumann's hair, shattering Schumann's unrealistic fantasy. He smiled contemptuously. "You want to die? Death is not an easy thing to do in front of me, unless you have my permission. "
Schumann was in so much pain that tears flowed out of his eyes. He struggled with all his might, but he couldn't break free. However, when his gaze fell behind Schumann, he revealed a look of surprise and joy.
"Haha … still want to play tricks?" The white-haired old man couldn't help but laugh.
A black thread silently swam over. The moment the thread was about to touch the old man, the old man felt that something was wrong. However, it was too late for him to turn around. He could only immediately cast invisibility. Unfortunately, the black thread had already wrapped around his body. Although he cast invisibility, it was only for a moment. His body was exposed to the air again, and then he fell to the ground involuntarily. The black thread had tied him up tightly.
The imposter's reaction wasn't slow, and he was very smart. He didn't try to use the hostage in front of him to threaten anyone. His figure darted out diagonally, and then disappeared without a trace.
"Sir …" Schumann cried out in joy.
"Be smarter next time." Han Jin said indifferently. "You just told them that I'm here."
"I … I understand." He didn't know if it was because of excitement or shame, but Schumann's face turned red. In fact, this was the first time he had experienced such a near-death situation. He couldn't control his emotions like those real professionals. It was already very brave of him to make up his mind to commit suicide.
"Do you want to come out on your own, or do you want me to beat you out?" Han Jin said to the dark alley.
No one answered him. The alley was very quiet. Only those with the best eyesight could see that there was a very small black beetle moving slowly about a foot away from the ground.
Han Jin sneered. He waved his right hand forward, and a long whip suddenly appeared in his hand. The tip of the whip whistled and disappeared into the darkness.
With a snap, the end of the braid hit the wall of the cave, leaving a deep mark as if it had been cut by a knife or an axe. Han Jin's arm jerked, and the end of the braid whizzed to the other side of the cave.
A shrill scream was heard, and the person who impersonated David showed himself. The soft armor in front of his chest had already cracked, revealing a shocking blood groove. Blood gushed out like a fountain, but he did not lose his will to fight. He rolled on the ground and jumped up again.
Han Jin's figure appeared in front of the imposter. He waved his fist and hit the imposter's calf. Then, with a loud bang, half of Han Jin's arm was buried deep in the cave wall. Half of the imposter's leg was also smashed in by Han Jin.
The imposter screamed again and fell down. His posture was a bit strange. His leg was buried in the cave wall, and the tip of his foot was still outside. At this moment, he was hanging upside down. Not only was his leg broken, but his calf was also smashed. He was in so much pain that his body kept convulsing. His other leg was kicking the cave wall, but he couldn't pull it out. His screams became more and more hysterical. His eyes were protruding, as if they would jump out of their sockets with a light tap.
When the white-haired old man saw this miserable scene, his heart was filled with fear. Then, his eyes turned cold. The muscles on his cheek twitched violently, and his body trembled slightly.
Shu Man understood something and rushed to the white-haired old man. He grabbed the old man's neck with both hands and shouted, "Open your mouth, open your mouth for me!"
The old man's eyes became blank. He didn't look at Shu Man, nor did he open his mouth. However, a trace of blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth.
"Sir! This guy bit off his tongue! "Shu Man turned to Han Jin and shouted.
"You think this is over?" Han Jin snorted coldly. He flicked his finger, and Harley's figure appeared in the air.
"Sir, this is …"
"Shu Man, get out of the way!" Han Jin formed a seal and said softly, "Snatch!!"
Han Jin's hand patted the white-haired old man from afar. Shu Man suddenly saw that the old man seemed to have become two people. One was still lying on the ground, while the other seemed to be controlled by an invisible force and floated up. Shu Man was dumbfounded. He shook his head hard. When he looked again, he found that there was only one person left. Was it an illusion?
Harley's figure pounced forward. He let out a sinister laugh and waved his bone staff in the air. However, other than Han Jin and him, no one else could understand what he was doing.
"Shu Man, what did that guy say to you just now?" Han Jin said in a joking tone.
"Just now?" Shu Man followed Han Jin's line of sight and saw that the person pretending to be David had barely stopped howling. He supported himself with both hands on the ground and tried to turn his head to look at his companion.
"He said that in front of him, death is not an easy thing, unless he allows it." Shu Man said loudly. He felt very relieved.
"I see …" Han Jin smiled. "But in front of me, even if he dies, he has to satisfy me. Otherwise, he will sink in purgatory forever. Open!"
Following Han Jin's gesture, Shu Man saw a scene that stunned him. In his illusion, the old man appeared in the air. His body was made of something like smoke and dust. Every time Harley waved the bone staff in his hand, a hole would be smashed in the old man's body. Then, the hole would slowly heal. The old man's face was particularly ferocious. His limbs struggled desperately, but he could not escape from Harley's control. He opened his mouth wide as if he was shouting, but Shu Man could not hear anything.
The person pretending to be David was also stunned. What was that? Soul?!
Using Daoist magic to forcefully strip a person's soul was harmful to the harmony of heaven. Han Jin didn't want to use such magic before, but now, it didn't matter. This was a world without the Heavenly Dao, where karma and reincarnation didn't exist. Whoever was more powerful would be the master of all living beings.
"Harley, stop playing," Han Jin said indifferently.
Harley laughed sinisterly and opened his mouth. The old man seemed to be attracted by an invisible force and flew straight into Harley's mouth. Harley patted his stomach with satisfaction and then fell silent. After a while, Harley trembled. "Master, this guy is called Qian Ning. He is a member of an organization called Purple Flower."
"Anything else?"
"Tang … Donald?!" Harley's voice changed.
"Donald?" Han Jin looked at the person pretending to be David. "Do you have anything to tell me?"
* * *
In a corner of the Elven Temple in Wild Willow City, a dazzling light suddenly lit up in an ordinary looking courtyard. After a while, when the light disappeared, there was one more person in the courtyard.
Sunier, who was covered in dust, appeared in the center of the courtyard. She heard a deafening sound coming from the distance. Even the ground under her feet seemed to be trembling slightly.
Sunier frowned and looked around. Unexpectedly, she did not see a single guard. What was going on? The exit of the illusion should be guarded. Many elves who passed the trial were covered in scars and needed to be treated in time. However, there was not a single person in front of her.
The loud sound continued to ring out. Sunier looked in the direction of the loud sound. That should be the location of the city gate. Under normal circumstances, the elders would not allow this kind of noise to exist. After a slight hesitation, Sunier walked straight towards the city gate.
Sunier did not notice that after so many days of near-death experiences, her state of mind had quietly changed. If it was in the past, she would have gone to find the first elder and ask what was going on. But now, she chose a more direct method.
Before Sunier could walk out of the temple, she saw a few elves in guard attire running out of the courtyard in front of her. They looked as if they were facing a great enemy and quickly ran out of the temple.
Sunier nimbly jumped a few times and caught up with the elves. She grabbed one of them and asked, "What happened?"
The elf who was being pulled was obviously impatient. He did not even turn his head and tried to shake off Sunier's hand while shouting, "Hurry up, go to the Ancient Tree of Life!"
"The Ancient Tree of Life?" Sunier pulled hard and made the elf face her. She asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Only then did the elf see who was pulling him. He could not help but stare blankly for a moment. Then, he shouted in surprise, "Sunier?!"
At this time, the elves who were running in front also stopped. When they saw that it was really Sunier, they happily surrounded her.
"It really is Sunier!"
"That's great, Sunier is back. We have hope!"
"Wait!" Sunier hurriedly stopped the elves from talking. "Who can tell me what's going on?"
One of the more eloquent elves quickly told the whole story. Only then did Sunier know that Wild Willow City was attacked by the orcs. Moreover, the main force of the elves was not in the city. The worst thing was that the orcs had mountain giants. Under the continuous long-range attacks of the mountain giants, the city walls were already on the verge of collapse. The current commander, Athena's order was that if the city was breached, then all the elves were to gather under the Ancient Tree of Life and fight the orcs for the last time.
After listening to the whole story, Sunier did not say a word. She turned around and ran towards the city gate. Her whole body was like a sharp arrow released from a bow. She was extremely fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The elves looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. It wasn't strange for Lydia to move at such a speed, but it was strange for Sunier, whom they were familiar with to be able to move at such a speed.
A few minutes later, Sunier appeared at the bottom of the city wall. She stomped on the ground and her whole body jumped up high like a firework. When she ran out of strength, she stretched out the tip of her foot and tapped on a protruding part of the city wall. Her body continued to rise.
As soon as Sunier jumped over the city wall, she saw a huge rock tumbling down. Sunier, who was still in the air, completed the action of drawing her bow in a flash.
When Sunier's feet touched the ground on the city wall, the arrow in her hand had already been released. After a sharp whistling sound, Sunier's arrow collided with the huge rock, creating a loud bang. The huge rock was smashed into pieces in the air.
The elves on the city wall were stunned. Then, they let out a loud cheer. For such a long time, they had no way to deal with the mountain giants' attacks. They could only let the huge rocks fall down. During this time, Athena activated the Ancient Tree of Life once to make the vines grow thicker, but the effect was not obvious.
Athena also saw Sunier's arrow. Her eyes suddenly lit up. She did not have time to ask Sunier how she suddenly learned such a powerful archery skill. She quickly ran to Sunier's side and said quickly, "Quick, kill those mountain giants. The city wall is about to collapse!"
In fact, Sunier could see the danger of the situation even without Athena's reminder. Even the ground above the city wall had cracks. If the mountain giants continued to attack, it would not take long for the city wall to completely collapse.
Sunier took a few steps forward. With her current vision, she could clearly see the dozen or so mountain giants 400 meters away.
"Are they all here?" Sunier asked Athena who was beside her.
"Yes." Athena nodded. She was a bit puzzled. A dozen or so mountain giants are not enough? Do you think it's too little?
Sunier took out an arrow. After thinking for a bit, she took out two more. She decided to conserve some energy. If she shot that earth-shattering arrow that day, she would be able to kill all of the mountain giants. However, she would also lose half of her combat power. Who knew if the orcs still had other tricks up their sleeves?
Without aiming, Sunier had already locked onto the target. She loosened her fingers, and three black lights shot out. Almost at the same time as Sunier loosened her fingers, the black lights had already appeared in front of the mountain giants before the bowstring could be reset.
The three mountain giants were just about to throw the stones in their hands. Suddenly, they felt their vision go dark, and then they lost consciousness. The three black lights did not slow down and pierced through the back of their heads. Because it was too fast, many orcs did not have time to react. They only saw the three mountain giants heavily fall to the ground.
The elves couldn't help but cheer. Although they had already made up their minds to welcome death, the strength that Sunier had shown made them see the light again.
At this time, the low sound of the horn sounded again. The formation of the orcs quickly changed. The remaining mountain giants crouched down, and the orc warriors also jumped down from their wind wolves and blocked in front of the mountain giants. They used their bodies to form a meat wall.
At this time, Sunier had just put three more arrows on the bowstring. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but be startled. She turned her head and asked Athena, "Why do I feel like these barbaric guys suddenly became smart?"
Athena smiled bitterly, "I think so too."
Sunier stared at the opposite side for a while. Suddenly, she smiled and put down the bow in her hand, "Let them maintain that posture. I don't believe that the mountain giants can throw stones here."
Sure enough, the mountain giants could not use their full strength. The stones they threw fell to the ground dozens of meters away from the wall. Seeing this result, there was a commotion among the orc army.
A Hill Giant suddenly stood up and threw out the stone in his hand with all his might.
At the same time, Sunier raised her bow and shot two arrows in a row. The first arrow was very fast. It instantly pierced through the body of the mountain giant that stood up. The mountain giant fell down with a burst of blood behind him. When she shot the second arrow, Sunier obviously didn't use too much strength. The arrow slowly flew toward the stone that was rolling in the air. It was so slow that people could follow the arrow's flight path with their naked eyes.
With a light ding sound, the arrow hit the edge of the stone. The result was that the stone deviated from its original direction and fell to the ground outside the wall.
It wasn't too difficult to completely smash a stone as long as there was enough strength. However, Sunier's seemingly light arrow was able to make the stone deviate from its original direction. It required not only strength, but also extremely accurate eyesight and a grasp of the stone's trajectory.
Athena was very clear that she could never do this. She couldn't help but secretly glance at Sunier. What did she get in the illusion?
The dead mountain giant set a good example for his companions. No one dared to stand up again. Being stupid didn't mean that they couldn't see the situation clearly. It was very obvious now. Whoever stood up would die!
After a moment of silence, the sound of the horn hovered above the battlefield. The orcs seemed to have heard some kind of command and began to move again. Some orc warriors squatted down with the sound of the horn. Others stood on their backs and squatted down as well. Then another batch stood up. In the blink of an eye, the orc warriors stacked up a five to six meter tall wall in front of the mountain giants.
At such a height, the Hill Giants could safely stand upright. Although it seemed foolish to use such a method to deal with the Elven archers' sniping, it was undoubtedly the most effective method. No arrows could pierce through the bodies of the Orcs and still kill the Hill Giants hiding behind the human wall.
It seemed that the orcs had made sufficient preparations for this attack. When the long-range attacks couldn't achieve their desired goal, the elves' attacks seemed a little weak.
The elves on the wall were stunned. The actions of the orcs had completely overturned their impression of this barbaric race.
"Heavens, they can even do something like this?" Athena's eyes widened.
"It looks like a big cake." Sunier looked at the wall of humans a few hundred meters away with interest.
"What? Cake? "Athena looked at Sunier in surprise, wondering how she could still laugh. It should be noted that the Hill Giants only needed to throw a few more rounds of stones to destroy the city walls under their feet.
"That's right, a cake." Sunier answered seriously. Then, she slowly pulled back the bowstring with a serious expression on her face.
Sunier didn't want to use that move at first, but she didn't expect the orcs to be so smart and react in such a way that she couldn't kill the mountain giants. However, what made Sunier want to laugh was that with so many orcs stacked together, it was clearly a very tempting target. Perhaps other elves couldn't do anything to the orcs in such a formation, but coincidentally, Sunier had the ability to do so.
Although that meant that she would lose the strength to continue attacking, there was no better way at the moment. Moreover, the orcs' formation was just right for her to display her greatest killing power.
When Sunier pulled back the bowstring, Athena, who was standing beside her, immediately noticed that Sunier's entire body had changed. A dignified aura gushed out from Sunier's slender body like a mountain. At this moment, Athena even felt that it was a little difficult to breathe.
Sunier's entire mind was focused on the arrow in her hand. Her soft golden hair fluttered in the wind like a golden flag. In the eyes of all the elves, Sunier no longer had a trace of weakness. Instead, it was replaced by a biting cold killing intent.
All the elves were waiting for Sunier to release the arrow in her hand. Although they didn't know what the result would be, their instincts told them that something was about to happen.
Even the beastmen in the distance felt that something was amiss. The hill giants abnormally stopped their throwing motion. At this moment, the gazes of both sides were surprisingly the same. They were all focused on the same spot.
No one knew what kind of power would erupt from the slender body under the golden flag.
Soon, Sunier gave them the answer they wanted. She gently released the bowstring in her hand.
The dark arrow angrily shot out, carrying an indomitable aura as it flew towards the tall human wall. At this moment, everyone could clearly see that the air within the range of the arrow had become distorted. At the same time, a sharp whistling sound that made people tremble abruptly rang out, piercing everyone's ears like a sharp needle.
Then came the deafening sound of an explosion. The moment the arrow pierced through the human wall, it was as if an incomparably huge barrel of explosives had been ignited. All the orcs within a hundred meter radius were blown to pieces by this attack. Countless broken limbs were scattered in the air, and soon after, they were torn into pieces by the violent energy turbulence. A large amount of dust rose from the ground, accompanied by the blood and flesh that filled the sky, and didn't fall down for a long time.
Countless orc warriors covered their ears and let out mournful cries. Even the thousands of elves on the city wall were shaken to the ground. The incomparably sharp sound was like steel needles, piercing their eardrums and into their brains. It was as if their bodies were about to explode. The uncontrollable pain was almost driving them crazy.
By the time the dust settled, the elves who were struggling to get up discovered that not only the human wall, but even the Hill Giant and the orc warriors behind the human wall had disappeared. What was left in their place was a huge pit. What was even more shocking was that the soil in the pit was dark red.
Just a single arrow was so powerful that it could turn thousands of orc warriors into nothingness. What kind of power was this?!
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. There was no sound on the battlefield.
Fear quickly spread among the orcs like a plague. Finally, there were some orcs who couldn't stand the deathly silence. After letting out a roar, they quickly fled to the back.
With the first, there was naturally a second, and a third. Just a moment ago, the orc warriors had been full of morale and were ready to die, but now, they all scrambled to escape. They didn't even have the courage to turn around and look at the city wall, even though the city wall was already in tatters and on the verge of collapse.
The sound of the horn sounded again at an untimely time. However, this time, the orc warriors didn't appear to be well-trained. They still didn't stop running. It wasn't until the sound of the horn gradually became louder and louder that the elves could hear the anger contained in it. Only then did the orc warriors gradually stop running and gather together. However, this time, they were standing at a distance of 800 meters away from Wild Willow City.
"Hold me!" Sunier's weak voice sounded in Athena's ears and woke her up from her shock.
Athena then realized that Sunier's face was sickly pale. She quickly reached out her hand to support Sunier.
Sunier felt her vision darken. An irresistible sense of weakness spread throughout her body. She could only stand up with Athena's support. However, she couldn't rest because that would give the orcs the courage to attack again.
"Great job, Sunier!" Athena praised from the bottom of her heart. If it wasn't for Sunier's appearance and that earth-shattering arrow, she would probably be preparing to perish together with the orcs.
Sunier looked at Athena with a smile on her face, "I hope I can scare them out of their wits. However, it seems like those damn barbarians aren't going to continue running."
"That's not important, Sunier." Athena replied with a smile, "Without the Mountain Giant, they are nothing."
At this time, a large number of guards emerged from the rear of the orcs' battle formation. Among the crowd, two figures, one tall and one short, were particularly eye-catching.
From the attire of the tall one and the bone weapon in his hand, it could be seen that he was an orc shaman. The shorter one, on the other hand, looked like a teenager. The only strange thing was that the teenager was holding a horn that was almost as tall as him.
Because the distance was too far, even with Sunier's eyesight, she couldn't see the teenager's appearance clearly. She could only see that the teenager seemed to be very angry and was shouting something loudly. The orc warriors around him all lowered their heads as if they had done something wrong. The orc shaman bent down as if he was comforting the teenager. However, after being scolded by the teenager, he stood aside and didn't say a word.
This kind of situation was very rare. Apart from Forza, only Forza's sons were qualified to order the shaman around.
Seeing Sunier's questioning look, Athena thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Forza has a son who was born sick. His strength is very low, but he is very smart. He especially likes to study all kinds of things about humans. If that's the case, I think it can explain why these Orcs seem to be so disciplined. "
"Is he very smart? Maybe. " Sunier looked at the small figure in the distance and whispered softly. If this teenager appeared on the battlefield from the beginning, Sunier wouldn't hesitate to send him to the arms of the Grim Reaper.
