The storm ended.
The bluestone was cracked and charred, and the ground was covered with charred bricks. The walls were cracked and blackened, and there was a black sticky substance everywhere. It was the result of the storm mixing with the dirt on the walls. Even the storm couldn't suppress the choking dust in a short time.
There were still some sparks in the corners, and the crackling sounds of the sparks were still coming out, but no one cared. The townspeople's eyes were blank and numb, and the buckets in their hands fell to the ground. Then, there was a series of heart-wrenching cries.
Thud thud …
The figure running in a panic was extremely disheveled. Behind him, a black ghostly figure was rapidly closing the distance. On the withered black wall, there seemed to be a huge black scorpion flashing past.
Noxus's eyes were cold and fierce. His hands suddenly pulled the ground, and his body shot out like an arrow leaving the bow. Amidst his cruel and sinister laughter, the figure who was caught up roared angrily. Then, there was the sound of cutting. The vicious claws were crazily licking that person's flesh, neck, chest, waist, and thighs. In an instant, dozens of bone-deep wounds were torn open.
"Ahhh!"
There was a shrill cry. The merchant in front was sweating profusely as he ran for his life. Behind him, his subordinates were brutally chased and killed by Noxus.
At the entrance of the alley 50 meters away, the same sound of hurried footsteps could be heard, followed by a scream. Another merchant leader crawled out with half of his body. There was a blade in his back that had pierced through his chest. His blood was mottled, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.
"Run, keep running!"
Amidst the brutal voice, a hand pulled out the large blade. The merchant leader's body twitched twice on the ground before he breathed his last. Then, the owner of the hand holding the blade slowly appeared from the darkness.
Tunas turned his neck and looked at the merchant leader who was blocked in the alley. He dragged the large blade on the ground, making a screeching sound. He said fiercely, "Where's Lombardi?"
"I don't know." The merchant leader froze on the spot. Behind him, Noxus, who was also laughing sinisterly, was slowly approaching.
"You bastards started this fire. Great, the fire burned everything down, and now you're telling me that you don't know?" Tunas' expression was twisted due to his anger. He was like a wild beast struggling in a cage. His entire body was emitting a dangerous and violent murderous aura.
"Lombardi asked us to set the fire, but we haven't been able to find him," the leader of the merchants stammered.
"Huff huff …"
Breathing heavily from his nostrils, Tunas threw a deep glance at the man, his heart burning with rage. "Trash like him actually caused such a big trouble for himself."
"How dare you?"
Tunas clenched his teeth and roared. The leader of the merchants screamed and rushed towards the entrance of the alley, brushing past him. Tunas stood there with a gloomy expression. Suddenly, the blade turned back, and a line of blood burst out from the back of his neck. The lower half of his body still maintained the inertia and took two steps forward before crashing to the ground. His head that was flying into the sky was thrown into the air and then fell to the ground, rolling towards the entrance of the alley.
A leather boot stepped on his head, and on his head was a pair of horrified eyes. Lombardi lowered his head and glanced at it mercilessly. Then, he looked up at Tunas and gritted his teeth. "Are you looking for me?"
Their eyes collided in the air, and red sparks seemed to be sputtering in the darkness of the night.
"Lombardi!" Tunas' pupils shrank into a needle-like shape, his molars were grinding, and the killing intent in his heart was almost boiling. He said word by word, "This is all because of you!"
"You flatter me!" Lombardi's smile didn't reach his eyes. His sharp eyes stared intently at Tunas, and Arlen's indifferent face unconsciously appeared in his mind. He said hoarsely, "It's not good enough. I still need your head to complete it."
"Humph." Tunas bit his lips and licked the blood with the tip of his tongue. He suppressed the killing intent in his heart and said coldly, "I also want to tear you into pieces, but not now. The Red Skull Pirates have come ashore. I don't want to be taken advantage of by the pirates. We need to work together to protect ourselves now."
Lombardi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes rolled, and the corner of his mouth raised into a strange mocking smile. He said with a sinister smile, "Oh? Did the Red Skull Pirates betray us? But, you seem to have misunderstood something? "
"What do you mean?" Tunas frowned. He always felt that Lombardi's words had a hidden meaning, as if the other party knew something that he didn't know, but he couldn't guess.
Lombardi also didn't intend to explain to him. He just sneered twice, and then his fingers subconsciously touched the bridge of his nose. Only then did he realize that his glasses had been broken by him. He grinned and said, "Killing you is my way of protecting myself."
The last word was dragged out, and Tunas's heart suddenly fell. There was a sharp piercing sound in his ears. He turned his head, and a thin line of blood split from his cheek. The wall behind him made a "poof" sound, and a dark brown bullet was embedded in it. There was still a faint smell of gunpowder in his nostrils.
In the dark corner behind the alley, Kabar held a flintlock gun in his hand. The barrel was smoking. He sighed slightly regretfully and then quickly loaded it with bullets.
There was a stinging pain in his cheek, and blood stained half of his face. Tunas didn't have time to analyze the information exposed in Lombardi's words. The other party had already expressed his intention to kill him with despicable actions.
"You're looking for death!" Tunas spat out a few words from between his teeth. Faster than his words, the shadow of a scorpion flitted across the wall, silently moving along the wall and quickly attacking Lombardi.
A cold wind blew in his ears. Tunas narrowed his eyes. Since negotiations had broken down, killing Lombardi to vent his anger was also an excellent thing. He moved forward, and the remaining guards behind him also drew their swords and rushed forward.
"Be careful!"
"Bang!" Ka Ba reminded loudly.
Ding!
The sparks from the metal collision were particularly glaring in the dark. A sinister claw suddenly stretched out from the darkness. The bullet was deflected, and the claw only trembled slightly and then viciously dug towards him. The bloody wind stung his face, and Lombardi's eyes were filled with anger. At the critical moment, he dodged to the side. At the same time, he flipped his wrist, and a short silver blade slashed across, but it cut empty air.
Lombardi had already lost sight of the claw in front of him. There were three hideous wounds on his shoulder that were bleeding. Goosebumps appeared on his back. Without hesitation, he squatted forward, and a piece of hair on his head scattered in the air.
Lombardi was shocked. Fortunately, Lothar, who was behind him, was finally engaged in a battle with Kabar, who had abandoned his gun and was chasing after him. The sharp double-edged dagger was slashing back and forth, and it collided violently with the airtight claw.
At the same time, the sailors of Sea Shark and the remaining guards of Tiago were also fighting in pairs. Somehow, the number of people was strangely tied.
Clang!
The silver dagger and the equally short and sharp dagger were nailed together. Lombardi and Tunas looked at each other, and from the other's ferocious eyes, their own twisted faces were reflected.
