C63 The Mysterious Killer
Sky High's banquet was grand, and all the important people of the imperial capital came to attend. There were also many wealthy businessmen from other places. It could be seen that the Imperial Capital attached great importance to it. Yat V even personally brought Qingtian into the arena. This also implied that the emperor favored this new noble of the empire.
As the main character, Qingtian naturally stood at the center of the banquet. Holding the wine glass and looking at the scene of the banquet, Qingtian sighed with emotion: "I was struck by lightning and came to this strange world. I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. However, I, who used to be an ordinary person, now stands at the top of an empire. I really don't know whether to laugh or cry."
Just like all the banquets, facing some nobles... He said some useless words. Qingtian really hated this kind of scene. However, it was a banquet for him after all. With such a scale, it seemed that Art had spent quite a bit of effort. He couldn't just leave like that. It wasn't easy for him to reach the end of the banquet. Qingtian was already in a daze.
At this time, Randolph also came in front of Qingtian. "Congratulations, Lord Count, for winning this battle for the empire. You are so young. You will definitely have a bright future ahead of you." The old man was very polite, as if there was no conflict between the two of them. "Hmph! Old fool, I'm afraid your son hasn't fully recovered yet. Come and congratulate me, and now you want me to die immediately. I wonder if you've found some wanted criminal from the continent to ambush me! " Although he didn't like him, Qingtian pretended to be happy. "Sir, you must be joking. You are the pillar of the empire. Kid, you are just lucky. " The two of them chatted casually for a while before going off to busy themselves.
The banquet only ended at midnight. Qingtian had drunk quite a bit. He was sent home in a daze. Although Qingtian's current strength was no longer that half-baked person from before. However, there were still many guards by his side. It was Gheed and the others again. Gheed was now prostrating himself in worship of his young master. During the period when Qingtian left, he kept telling the people around him about his young master's deeds. It was as if he was the one who had done it. "Have you ever beaten up a Magister? I have. Have you beaten up the Prime Minister's son? I have also tried. Following the young master, he can do anything. If not for the family's recent arrangements, I would have joined the army long ago and followed the young master to the north to fight a war. At that time, I might even be able to become a baron."
The gorgeous carriage was on the way home, sitting in the carriage. Atlas was constantly meditating to get rid of the alcohol smell. After passing by the empty alley again, Qingtian sighed with emotion. "I wonder if I can kill that Necromancer now. After thinking for a long time, he felt that the answer was still no. That bone dragon alone is not something I can easily deal with."
As he thought of this, Qingtian suddenly became alert. An object flew over with a whoosh not far away. Then, with a bang, a strongbow shot through the carriage. Qingtian, who had long been alerted, had already jumped off the carriage.
A standard military strongbow was inserted into the carriage diagonally. "F * ck! If this toy were to pierce me, wouldn't Yours Truly be skewered?" Right now, Qingtian really wanted to slap himself a few times. Just now, he thought that Randolph, that old fool, was looking for someone to kill him. Now, his dream had come true. "Looks like this is going to be a big deal as well. Alright, you take a few. Yours Truly will kill a few today. Let's see how many experts you have here to send themselves to their deaths. " As he thought of this, Qingtian took out his Taiyi Sword and stuck it to the side of the carriage. He said to Gheed," Hurry up and find the City Defense Army and grandfather. Why was the security in the capital so bad now? There's actually someone who dares to use the strongbow to shoot the earl's carriage! "
" But young master, you? " Seeing how prepared his opponent was, Gheed was very worried about Qingtian. "Don't worry about me. You might come back late. I have already taken care of them. Go!" Qingtian knew that the person who dared to assassinate him must not be a simple person. Gheed and the others were undoubtedly in danger of dying here. It would be best if he could call his grandfather over as soon as possible. It didn't matter, who wouldn't run away when they saw his grandfather?
Gheed and the others quickly left. After the opponent launched an attack, it just didn't appear. It seemed like he didn't care about them at all, "They really came for me. Hmph hmph, when the time comes, we still don't know who the winner will be. However, the opponent this time seems to be very difficult to deal with. He hasn't used it for so long. He also doesn't feel any Dou Qi or magic at all. It's not easy to deal with him." As he thought about it, Atlas kept observing his surroundings. He seemed to want to find something.
At this moment, a red dagger suddenly appeared beside him. It was aimed at Tian Qingtian's neck. "Ding!" A flame appeared on Qingtian's face. The Taiyi Sword bitterly blocked the dagger's attack. Before Qingtian could react, the opponent had disappeared again. "Assassin!" Tian Qingtian broke out in cold sweat. To be able to silently obtain his body, he must have at least reached the level of a Godwalker.
"Good job! To be able to find such a high-level assassin. Looks like the opponent will definitely take me down today. Humph humph, but I can even break black-robed Swordmaster's domain. What can an assassin like you do to me? " After thinking for a while, Qingtian stopped hiding and slowly closed his eyes. He immersed himself in his surroundings. Ever since the battle with black-robed Swordmaster, Qingtian felt that he had broken through a lot. Especially after experiencing the Dark Domain. He had basically lost all five senses there, which was much better than now. At least, he just couldn't see his opponent.
Found it! There was a slight breath of air behind him. Although it was so weak that he almost couldn't feel it, Qingtian didn't hesitate to turn around and stab him with his sword. "Ding!" Another spark. Before the red dagger could be used, Qingtian had already taken the initiative to attack. "Come out, your invisibility trick is useless against me."
At this moment, a black shadow appeared in front of them. A person's silhouette appeared in front of Tian Qingtian. "Such good skills, coupled with that blood red dagger. If I'm not wrong, you must be the number one assassin on the continent, the "instant kill" wolf! " From the first time he saw his weapon, Atlas, he had already determined the origin of his opponent. " I don't know if it's an honor to be your target. What? Such an invisible assassin posed a great threat to him. Thus, he didn't forget to tease him.
"Very strong, you. Evading me twice. Very strong." The wolf rarely spoke, its entire body wrapped in black. Only revealing two eyes and the blood red dagger in its hand. "Is there something wrong with this guy's language? Why is his words incoherent?" Qingtian looked at the assassin in front of him. He couldn't help but be speechless.
"I wonder who entrusted Mister 'Instant Killer' to assassinate a small noble like me?" Atlas didn't want to face such a strange assassin in one night, even though he was somewhat cool.
"You can't say. Rules." Another sentence that went in the wrong order. Then, in the blink of an eye, the wolf's dagger had already reached Qingtian's left chest. "So fast!" Qingtian exclaimed. He looked at the attack that was too late to dodge. Qingtian instantly raised his lightning shield and shot out a thunder ball towards the dagger.
"Sizzle." The dagger that had been struck by the Thunder Explosion Technique stabbed into the lightning shield. Although it was already right in front of Qingtian's chest, it could no longer move forward. The opponent seemed to have been paralyzed by the lightning as well. He flipped over and jumped back a few times. He disappeared into the vast night sky.
Looking at his torn clothes, Qingtian was secretly glad. "I really don't know who ordered this mysterious assassin to do this. I almost fell into his trap"
"It seems like the capital isn't peaceful after this trip back!" Tian Qingtian muttered to himself as he looked in the direction where the mysterious wolf had disappeared.
