A loud explosion sounded in Yakumo Ruler's tent.
Two black figures shot out from the tent. Eight Cloud Ruler held the smoking Origin Substance Spear in both hands. His figure moved, and he quickly hid behind a bunker.
Another figure flew out of the tent and landed steadily on the ground. His breathing was long and steady. He was wearing a commonly seen green-gray warrior suit with a black cloak wrapped around his body. There was a golden ring around his collar that firmly locked the cloak around his body.
The cloak fluttered in the night wind, and several dark-red whirling blades spun rapidly around his body.
Seeing the appearance of the newcomer, Yakumo Ruler's face gradually turned cold. The corpses of the followers he had gathered over the past few days were all over the ground.
The other party had quietly killed everyone, which showed how strong he was.
"Young Master Ruler, you don't have to hide anymore. I've set up traps around here. Instead of thinking about running away, it's better to fight with me. Maybe you'll have a chance to live." The young man under the black cloak looked calm, as cold as ever.
"Atsushi Amakusa! Do you know what you're doing now? " Yakumo Ruler suppressed the anger in his heart and pushed the two short blades into the slots on the two spears. He bent his body and prepared to speed up.
The edge of the camp was nearby. As long as he could run there, he would have a chance to escape.
"You're from the Amakusa clan. The Amakusa clan was destroyed. Who saved you and your mother's dog life? Have you forgotten?" Yakumo Ruler wanted to provoke Atsushi Amakusa with his words and distract him, but he was thinking about the best escape route.
Even if he fought with him here, it wouldn't do him any good. Moreover, Atsushi Amakusa dared to attack him so blatantly, which showed that he had full confidence in taking his life.
Yakumo Ruler was arrogant, but he wouldn't bet his life casually.
"Of course I remember. My late mother and I were saved by Miss Ai's mother. Because of that incident, Miss Ai's mother suffered a serious injury that was difficult to heal. In the end, she passed away with hatred. After Auntie passed away, Young Master Chi was the first group of people to ostracize Miss Ai. I remember it clearly. "
Atsushi Amakusa walked over step by step, and the dark red whirlwind blade beside him spun even faster.
"You're really the most loyal dog by Xiao 'ai's side. Every time a Trial Taker of my level dies, the family will buy video and audio materials from the organizers. At that time, the news of you killing me will be spread throughout the family. Even if Xiao 'ai can be promoted because of this, you're dead meat! "
The Eight-Cloud Ruler sensed his killing intent and anxiously roared, "Is it worth it for a woman? Your surname is Tiancao, and you're the heir of a fallen upper-class family. In terms of status, you'll never be able to be with Xiao 'ai. In the end, you'll only be able to watch her sleep with other men and become the plaything of those aristocratic young masters, sacrificing herself for the benefit of the family! "
"I know. On the day Auntie saved me and my son, I decided to give myself to Miss Ai. No matter how she tried to stop me, I would cut her off. I will do my best to send her to the highest position, even if I have to die a horrible death. " Atsushi Amakusa raised his head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "As for who she will marry in the end, it's enough as long as Miss Ai is happy."
Boom!
Eight Clouds Ruler suddenly sped up and ran towards the border of the camp. Just as he was about to rush out, the bottom of his feet suddenly slipped, and a thick rope tripped him up. A feeling of extreme danger hit him in the face, and the sharp blade of the Boomerang Blade brushed past his cheek, bringing a stream of blood.
Atsushi Amakusa was also someone who passed the Polar night test. He had inherited the fighting talent of the Amakusa family since he was a child, and was a natural warrior. But the Eight-Cloud Ruler never thought that he would hide so deeply.
"The standard of a level-3 magic apprentice?"
A black cloak flashed past.
Atsushi Amakusa arrived in front of him. The strength and speed of the two were comparable, but the Eight-Cloud Ruler's twin guns had long been studied by Atsushi Amakusa. His fighting style was unchanged, and he was instantly restrained.
"Rock Shield!" Seeing that he was about to be torn apart by the whirlwind blades, the Eight-Cloud Ruler knew that if he didn't open up the distance and shoot, there was no chance of winning, so he immediately threw out the trump card in his arms.
This was a magic scroll that could instantly cast a magic spell.
Magic Scrolls were different from ordinary magic scrolls. As long as one was able to develop a foundation in the future, they would be able to learn one or two magic tricks. As such, magic scrolls weren't very common. Another important point was that the production cost of magic scrolls was too high. A single magic scroll cost at least a thousand standard tubes of Origin Substance, which was equivalent to a magic resonance stone.
No one would complain about having too much money. If they bought a large number of one-time consumables like this, it would be better to use the money on cultivation resources.
The moment the magic scroll shattered, the rocks on the ground suddenly protruded, forming a thick shield that caught all the whirlwind blades coming from all directions.
These rocks were different from ordinary stones. The magic particles inside had been activated, and their hardness was even greater than that of black stone.
Atsushi Amakusa didn't seem surprised at all. After being blocked by the Rock Shield, his charging speed was greatly reduced, and his entire body slammed into the rock wall. Meanwhile, the Eight-Cloud Ruler had already taken advantage of this opening to rush more than ten meters away, leaving the border of the camp.
"Just you wait, Atsushi Amakusa!" The Eight-Cloud Ruler's body sprinted a few hundred meters, and he didn't even look back as he ran. He had actually been forced to use a magic scroll. He had only brought two magic scrolls with him for this ultimate trial.
As the Eight-Cloud Ruler sprinted forward, a faint light suddenly flashed in his blurred vision. It was the flash of light from an Origin Substance gun. Because it was too far away, he couldn't see it clearly, but his instincts couldn't be wrong.
He should have left the gun's range, unless it was … a sniper.
The Eight-Cloud Ruler's mind exploded, and all sound disappeared. A white arrow suddenly appeared in front of his chest, its head pointing straight at his heart.
A low, strange whistle sounded in his ears.
"Target locked," an unfamiliar male voice said.
A thick, grayish-white beam of light pierced through the head of the arrow. The Eight-Cloud Ruler's eyes widened, and his pupils dilated as his body flew backwards.
Before he landed on the ground, a black figure brushed past him.
A few more white arrows appeared on his body, and then he felt the pain of his body shattering.
The sharp blade in his opponent's hand was guided by the white arrows, and it seemed like it could easily cut through his skin and bones.
The knife wounds were all fatal. Fresh blood spurted out, and the Eight-Cloud Ruler fell to the ground in despair. The last thing he heard in his mind was an unfamiliar woman's murmur, accompanied by the sound of high heels.
"Bai, your knife skills are getting better and better." The woman was wearing a bright red dress and an extremely sexy low-cut dress that exposed her navel. Her delicate face and cold expression didn't match her flirtatious dress at all.
"Azure, go to the camp later and see if there are any clean clothes. Your clothes …" Yu Bai put away his knife, and the white arrows retreated back into his body.
This was a rare support magic, and he had also developed a counterweight.
Seeing this with his own eyes, Atsushi Amakusa's heart trembled slightly. As expected, finding these two guys was the right choice.
"Is there something wrong?" Li Weilan spun around, her beautiful figure almost bursting out of her clothes. However, her expression was one of confusion, as if she didn't understand the meaning behind Yu Bai's words.
Yu Bai patted his head, too lazy to explain to her.
Instead, he walked over to the Eight-Cloud Ruler's corpse and viciously stabbed it a few times.
"It's completely dead. Completed smoothly." Yu Bai looked at Atsushi Amakusa, who was walking over, and opened his right hand. Atsushi Amakusa immediately tossed his black box over.
"There's a total of three hundred standard tubes of Origin Substance Gas. The remaining seven hundred will be paid to you after we leave. Speaking of which, even I didn't expect that you would agree to help me kill him for a thousand standard tubes. Aren't you worried about the Yakumo family's revenge? After all, there's no such thing as an airtight wall, "Atsushi Amakusa asked suspiciously as he watched Yu Bai personally count out the number of standard tubes.
He had just happened to run into the two people hunting, so he wanted to give it a try.
After Atsushi Amakusa found out that Li Xiang might kill the Eight-Cloud Ruler, he decided to act first and put the blame on him.
That way, he would be able to remove the final obstacle for Miss Ai.
All of this was done behind the back of Ai Yakumo's back. Even if it was leaked, he would be the only one to suffer.
He had originally been thinking about how to hide it from the surveillance team, but if he didn't act and Li Xiang didn't succeed, it would be very difficult for him to kill the Eight-Cloud Ruler in the future. Just as he was about to throw caution to the wind and kill the Eight-Cloud Ruler, he ran into Li Weilan and the other person hunting. Yu Bai's support magic actually had the effect of blocking information transmission.
This way, even if the Yakumo family investigated the cause of Eight-Cloud Ruler's death, they wouldn't be able to find the culprit.
"So what if the Yakumo family wants revenge? In our eyes, resources are the most important thing. What's more, didn't you say that you would put the blame on Li Xiang? "Li Weilan returned the empty black box to Atsushi Amakusa.
"But we can't rule out the possibility that Li Xiang will refuse, or that a player can break Yu Bai's magic. At that time, we will all face the bloody revenge of the Yakumo family, the revenge of a top family. Do you really understand the significance of this?" Atsushi Amakusa took the black box. It was better to state the severity of the situation.
"That's why I said, so what? If we walk on this path, we won't be able to reach the end. Even if we don't offend the Yakumo family in the future, rookies like us with no background will be able to easily kill us if we can't protect the Polar night. Since that's the case, why don't we do as we please and quickly increase our strength? "
Li Weilan replied impatiently. Then, she grabbed Yu Bai's hand and prepared to leave.
The two disappeared into the night, leaving behind Yakumo Ruler's corpse and another magic scroll. That was the "compensation" they left for Li Xiang.
Atsushi Amakusa looked at their backs with a complicated expression. Then, he also turned and disappeared into the darkness.
In the night, Yu Bai and Li Weilan jumped in the air. Yu Bai really couldn't stand Li Weilan's outfit. Her clothes were torn after a raid, so she changed into this one. Li Weilan, who was relatively slow in many aspects, didn't realize how exaggerated this outfit was.
Noticing Yu Bai's gaze, Li Weilan looked at him in confusion. Then, she suddenly said, "Bai, how did you feel when you fought with Yakumo Ruler?"
"Ah? Yakumo Ruler? He didn't notice me. Although his perception is really sharp, he only sensed that you fired the gun. Even if there was no Atsushi Amakusa, with the two of us working together, he would be dead for sure. "
"Then, how about compared to him?"
Yu Bai was stunned. He immediately understood that the "him" she was talking about was Li Xiang, who passed by them that day.
"If he didn't give up that day, no matter which one of us he caught, I'm afraid that the one he caught would have died."
Li Weilan pursed her lips and didn't refute.
