Chapter 320: Grandmaster Assassin
Not good! Looking at the changes in the surrounding scenery and the empty bell tower behind him, Xiao Jie's heart suddenly tightened.

His mind was racing. An unexpected event? Or was it a trap?
"How are you guys? Have you entered the battle? I can't see you anymore." Xiao Jie asked in a deep voice in YY, but his eyes were searching around.

The sword is drawn, ready for battle at any time.

Several surprised voices were heard in YY.

"Hey, Brother Feng, where have you been? We are clearing out ghosts."

"I'm in the hidden map. Is the fish that doesn't eat cats with you?"

"Ah! No, she's gone too. Isn't she with you?"

Xiao Jie did not answer, but he already had the answer in his mind - it was indeed a trap!

The female swordsman mentioned before that the bell in the Dharma King Temple seems to be able to trigger some specific mechanism to enter the hidden map. The fish that doesn’t eat cats must have mastered this mechanism.

She used this mechanism to separate herself from her teammates, so she must be planning to attack herself. But how was she going to do it?
Xiao Jie was just thinking about it when suddenly a "click" sound was heard not far away, as if a stone had fallen to the ground, and it was clearly audible.

Xiao Jie's heart tightened and he looked in the direction where the sound came from. It was the gate of the Buddhist temple. The next second, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps and saw a group of monk soldiers holding Zen sticks and swords, rushing out of the temple. There were more than twenty of them.

These monk soldiers actually looked like humans, wearing monk robes, but they had ferocious faces and distorted expressions, and looked extremely evil.

Monk soldier of Dharma King Temple: Level 30, HP 660.

Their level attributes are exactly the same as those of the undead monks, except that they look more like living people. When they saw Xiao Jie and the other monks, they all showed angry expressions.

"Who are these thieves who dare to disrupt the ceremony? Capture them immediately."

"Take it down quickly!"

A group of monk soldiers suddenly rushed up.

Xiao Jie hurriedly said: "Make sure you are safe first. After clearing the monsters, see if you can find the entrance to the hidden map. I have to fight first."

After saying that, he leaped and tried to jump out of the wall, but was blocked by an air wall.

Well, it’s not that easy after all.

He simply rushed towards the monks in front of him like a whirlwind.

There was a flash of swords and sabers, and Xiao Jie used a big move to kill into the crowd. However, the defense of this group of monks was very strong. None of them died, and their health did not drop much. They brandished their swords and Zen staffs and smashed them on the heads.
-
25! -19! -21! -18! …

One round of concentrated fire took away more than 100 of Xiao Jie's health points. These high-level monsters caused very strong damage. Even with the legendary trait of invulnerability, it was impossible to be completely immune.

Xiao Jie hurriedly distanced himself from the monsters, thinking that this wave was quite fierce. If it were an ordinary player without the invulnerability trait, he would probably be beaten half to death in one round.

The attack power is high and the defense is strong. It seems that this wave of monsters will have to be cleared slowly.

"Come out-Big Orange!"

With a call, a white-browed tiger with hanging eyes was summoned out of thin air.

"Roar!" With a command,
The tiger roars terrifyingly!
Roar! The big orange roared, and immediately the group of monks fell into fear.

Xiao Jie took the opportunity to kill them again with Feng Juan Can Yun. This time he did not encounter any counterattack, but these monsters were really tough. Xiao Jie did not kill any of them with two Feng Juan Can Yuns, but only reduced the health of most of them. Five or six of them had very little health left.

Xiao Jie was just about to send two more whirlwinds to complete the harvest, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden click, and he heard a burst of hurried footsteps, and more than a dozen monk soldiers rushed out of the temple.

Xiao Jie frowned. This was not good. It looked like this was going to be a protracted battle!
And it feels like someone is doing bad things in the dark.

He did not continue to attack, but quickly distanced himself from these monsters. While directing the big orange to move the monsters away, he quickly thought in his mind who was going to attack him.

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the other party has set up a trap. The others are completely in a safe zone, and the target must be only me.

The fish that doesn't eat cats obviously had a long plan. He must have investigated my leveling situation in advance and knew that I needed a purification talisman, so he deliberately bought all the purification talismans to lure me into the trap, and made it seem like an accident. I even took the initiative to ask for help with the task at that time.

Such a profound plan would definitely not be a sudden whim, it must be someone who has a deep hatred for me...

Pantheon? Even if they were to take action, they should target Chen Tianwen.

Tianxiahui? Those rubbish have long since dispersed.

Liu Qiang! A name suddenly popped up in Xiao Jie's mind. Yes, it was Liu Qiang. Apart from him, he really couldn't think of anyone else who had such a deep hatred for him.

Liu Qiang had offered a reward of 33 taels of silver at the beginning, and it seems that he has increased the amount now. He doesn't think that the fish that doesn't eat cats will assassinate him for thirty-three taels of silver.

The other party doesn't think that he can kill him with these monsters, right?
Maybe it might be possible for an ordinary person, but for me, clearing out these monsters is just a matter of time.

No, the other party has such a deep plan, they will definitely not pin all their hopes on these monsters.

The other party must be here! The strange snapping sound just now was probably caused by some special skill used by the other party.

His eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly. The backyard of the Dharma King Temple was an empty square. Apart from the bell tower, there was nothing else there. Everything was in sight at a glance, and there was no sign of any ambush.

It should be some kind of hiding skill.

But this does not pose a problem for Xiao Jie.

Qi gazing!
Xiao Jie's screen suddenly turned into a strange picture in black and white.

Those monk soldiers looked like living people, but when observed by the Qi-gazing technique, it was found that the place where they were was pitch black. It was obvious that they were not living people, but dead objects.

However, in the corner, two blurry white outlines can be seen.

So it was hiding here, invisible? Haha, it was really thoughtful.

However, my own Qi-viewing technique can observe the spiritual energy of all things. As the saying goes, all things have spirits. As long as it is a living thing, there is more or less spiritual energy in its body, which cannot escape my eyes.

He had fully understood the opponent's plan at this point. The opponent could not really control these wild monsters and was just trying to divert trouble. Otherwise, if they showed up at this time and cooperated with the monks to besiege him, he would definitely have a better chance of winning.

Therefore, the opponent should also be attacked by wild monsters, so he dare not show up easily, because once he shows up, he will most likely become the target of the monk soldiers' attack.

First use these monsters to consume yourself, and when you have spent a lot of effort to clear all the monsters and your health and mana are all gone, that's when the opponent will suddenly attack you.

If that is the case, how can we get what you want?

Thinking of this, he no longer tried to clear the monster.

Seeing the monks surrounding him, Xiao Jie suddenly let out a roar.

The tiger roars terrifyingly!
Roar! With a roar, the monks were immediately terrified and fled in all directions.

While the monks were fleeing in all directions after being yelled at, Xiao Jie quickly took out a small Huandan and swallowed it, then a Dahong, and then a Daliwan.

Even if there is still most of the blood and mana left, it is still better to fill it up first.

By the time the monks gathered together again, Xiao Jie had already recovered to full strength.

Looking at the hordes of monk soldiers coming over, Xiao Jie thought that this secret cannot be used casually.

Firstly, the consumption is too great, and secondly, it is easy to be surrounded and beaten and lose blood. It is better to consume them from a distance. The combat effectiveness of these monks is obviously slightly stronger than the previous undead monks. They are no different from living people. They can use various combat skills and have body-protecting hard qigong. It is also very dangerous to be surrounded rashly, so it is better to consume them slowly.

Xiao Jie blew a whistle to summon Daju back. He watched as a group of monk soldiers rushed forward and cut him in half with one sword - Air Split Flash!

Swish! A blade of energy pierced through four or five monks.

Xiao Jie took a few steps back and made another air-splitting flash!

Swish, swish, swish! The white blade energy kept cutting through the crowd, and damage numbers kept popping up.

Every time he was surrounded, Xiao Jie would flash out of the circle without a trace. When a monk soldier was about to be beaten to 100% of his health, Daju would immediately pounce on him with a fatal bite and knock him to the ground, then add a tiger claw attack to instantly finish him off.

System prompt: Kill the monks of Fawang Temple and gain 600 experience points.

Hey, these monk soldiers have quite a bit of experience.

"Well done, that's it."

"Go, go, go, surround them, don't let them run away!"

Those monk soldiers actually still had some brains. They shouted, then dispersed and surrounded them from all directions.

This is a bit troublesome, and the Dharma King Temple is so small that there is not much room for maneuver.

Fortunately, Xiao Jie had a monster tiger by his side.

"Big Orange, blow the wind!"

Wind calling technique!
The big orange roared, and a strong wind blew up from the flat ground, and sand and rocks flew everywhere.
Use: Summons a strong wind to blow across the battlefield, which can disperse the clouds or reduce the power of the enemy's long-range attacks. It can also reduce the enemy's movement speed to a certain extent (only once a day). 】

The strong wind made it difficult for those monk soldiers to walk. They moved slowly in the wind and could not keep up with Xiao Jie's speed.

Xiao Jie leisurely moved between the gaps between the monks, and when he found the right opportunity, he would use an air-breaking flash. Occasionally, he could even use a set of Nine Styles of Illusion or Seven Styles of Gale, switching between combos to deal damage.

It turned out that the only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed. Relying on his absolute advantage in speed, Xiao Jie actually played the kite tactic in this yard.

Walking the dog usually reduces the number of monks.

He was not in a hurry to end the battle. Every time he knocked down a few people and consumed some of his internal energy, he would find a chance to replenish it, ensuring that his health, internal energy, and physical strength were always maintained above 90%.

He knew very well that once the monsters were cleared, it would be the moment to fight the two killers, so he had to stay in good health.

At this moment, Fish who doesn't eat cats and Wuming are witnessing all this.

Seeing that the number of monk soldiers was decreasing, Wuming raised his hand and threw a stone out.

Throw a stone to ask for directions: Throw a stone to ask for directions at the target area, which will make a strange noise and attract surrounding monsters to check it out.

This was the source of the two clicking sounds just now. It was just that the first two waystones were thrown too well, so they lured out all the monsters that could be lured out. The third one was thrown out, but it didn't lure out any monsters.

Wuming felt a little regretful. Looking at the other party who was slowly clearing the monsters, he frowned behind the screen. His plan was indeed the same as Xiao Jie guessed. He would use the monsters to consume the opponent. As long as the opponent was severely consumed and was left with little health and energy, and was in a bad state, he could take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Of course, it would be even better if these monks could beat them to death. Wuming actually had some expectations for this. Generally, if a magic profession was approached by a group of monsters and had no time to cast spells, it would be very likely to die suddenly.

Even a physical swordsman would find it difficult to resist so many high-level monsters.

However, I didn't expect that the other party, whose profession was unknown, could actually summon a baby, and it was a monster-level baby. Not only was it powerful in combat, it could also use magical powers.

What made him even more confused was that the opponent was clearly a cloth armor profession, but his defense was stronger than that of ordinary generals. The previous wave of beating only took away more than 100 blood points.

This is a bit outrageous.

Moreover, this guy's swordsmanship is so sharp that he can easily escape monsters with various operations. He can also constantly replenish blood and mana in the midst of a busy schedule, so that the monsters are almost dead, and the scene of low blood and empty mana that he wants never appears.

"This Yin Yue Sui Feng is so cautious." The fish that doesn't eat cats suddenly sighed.

Wuming said coldly: "No, it's not cautious, he guessed our purpose, he is on guard against us!"

"Ah, no way? He knew we were going to attack him. Maybe he thought he was facing an emergency?"

"Did he contact you?"

"Uh, that's not the case."

"That's right. He's already determined that you're here to harm him, so he won't even consider contacting you again. Otherwise, he would at least ask how you're doing."

The fish that doesn't eat cats thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. "Then what should we do, Master? Should we retreat? Or continue to wait patiently?"

Wuming shook his head, "No, we have already alerted the enemy. If we retreat, we will have no chance. Don't worry, I am level 36 and he is only level 28. I am in the dark and he is in the light. I am conserving my strength and he is at the end of his strength. We still have a big advantage.

I will attack him as soon as he finishes clearing the monsters. Once I poison him, he will be dead."

Wuming is very confident in his own strength, he has an epic professional specialty - Poison Master. He can add three kinds of poisons to weapons at the same time, and can increase the hit rate of poisons by 30%.

If you are lucky, a backstab can inflict three kinds of poison at the same time, and the opponent will basically be dead.

The wind and the remaining clouds!

Swish, swish, swish, the last four or five monks with low health fell down instantly.

At this time, Xiao Jie had already tensed up his nerves, his eyes always fixed on the two white figures. Once the monsters were cleared out, the opponent would only have two choices, either kill them by force or give up.

He didn't think that the other party would give up easily after planning for so long.

Sure enough, at the moment he put away his knife, a white shadow crept up behind him.

Fortunately, I could predict it in advance with the help of Qigong.

Xiao Jie pretended that he didn't notice anything. When the white shadow came around behind him, he turned around suddenly - and cut it in half with one stroke!

What! Wuming was shocked. He had activated [Shadow Escape], a skill only available to assassin masters. It not only allowed him to become invisible like the invisibility technique, but also reduced his presence. Even beasts with anti-stealth abilities would have difficulty detecting him. How could he detect this? Are you kidding me?
But he didn't become a master assassin for nothing.

Instantaneous body movement! Wuming's figure disappeared without any warning.

The next second, he appeared out of thin air behind Xiao Jie.

Strengthen the backstab! Puff, -141!

With one slash of the sword, Xiao Jie's health bar instantly dropped by one fifth.

This ghostly movement made Xiao Jie's heart tighten.

The enemy we face this time is probably the strongest one we have ever faced.

Xiao Jie had no intention of escaping. The opponent was so fast that there was no point in running away.

It’s better to fight hard and then turn around and cut it in half.

Wuming frowned slightly. He had indeed met a master. The opponent's first reaction when attacked was not to dodge but to counterattack. He was either too reckless or too calm.

The person in front of him was obviously the latter. The cooldown time for Instant Body Release was too long. It was supposed to be a decisive skill, but he was forced to use it in just one encounter.

Fortunately, the backstab was successful, and as long as the poison is applied, my advantage will be secure.

Wuming took a step back to avoid the knife and was about to take advantage of the flaw left by the opponent's knife to launch a pursuit.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jie slashed in the air but took advantage of the momentum to rush forward.

Damn it!
Hey! Wuming was surprised. This was the first time he had seen such a combo, but his reaction was extremely fast.

Mizongbu!
He leisurely moved sideways and dodged again, but also missed this slight flaw.

At this time, the two men were almost stuck together, and they drew their swords and slashed at each other at the same time.

Wuming sneered in his heart. The attack of a dagger was one third faster than that of a knife. Moreover, his own agility was over 100. If the opponent fought with him with a knife, he would simply be courting death.

Puff! What he didn't expect was that he was the one who got stabbed.
-
39!

What a quick knife!

Before Xiao Jie could perform his combo, Wuming dodged with the move "Treading on Snow Without Leaving a Trace".

Although the damage caused by this knife was not high, it made Wuming a little confused.

Xiao Jie was not surprised. When he was fighting with the monks before, he had already stacked the passive ability of the Gale Sword Technique to ten layers, increasing the attack speed by 100%. Even though Wuming's dagger attack module was faster and more agile, he was still hit by Xiao Jie's sword.

At this time, the two separated and finally saw each other clearly.

Nameless (Grand Assassin): Level 36, HP 671/710.

Yin Yue Sui Feng (ancient Qi cultivator): Level 28, HP 548/690.

The two men faced each other, neither moving until a moment later.

"Let me guess, was it Liu Qiang who sent you here?"

"Liu Qiang? I don't know him. We just take the money and don't ask any questions."

"Haha, you're pretty professional, huh? Since you're here to kill me, what are you waiting for?"

Wuming sneered, "I'm waiting for the poison to take effect, what are you waiting for?"

Xiao Jie sighed, "I'm waiting for you to find out that I'm not poisoned."

What? Wuming pointed his mouse at Xiao Jie in disbelief, and he really didn't look poisoned at all.

How can it be!

Wuming was stunned for a moment, and in that moment he was stunned.

Xiao Jie raised his hand suddenly - Qi Exhaustion Technique! Decay Technique! Demon Fire Technique!

Raising your hand is a triple display of quality.
