  Chapter 412 This is my escape route! (twenty three)

  A knight's most important armor and blade were broken, one can imagine his own situation.

  When it was realized that Ian might have been seriously injured, the momentum of the pursuit team dropped steadily.

After chasing all the way, they already understood that there is a huge gap between their own strength and Ian's. At least in various sword skills and marksmanship, Ian has done the best he can do at his age. Veterans who have been fighting for more than ten years cannot claim victory.

   But now, I found that even Ian couldn't fight against the mysterious shadow of the raider, and even fell into a disadvantage. Even the armor was knocked off, and the saber was shattered!

  Under such oppression, some people immediately wanted to return, waiting for reinforcements, and also to save their lives.

  —If you really run into each other, don’t they both scythe the stalks, waiting to be cut down?

  But there are also some who strongly demand that the investigation be continued. If you want to see a person, if you want to see a dead body, the reinforcements from Nauman City are already applying, and they will catch up immediately, so they don't have to be afraid at all.

  Especially the few teams that were secretly ordered by Mr. Yinfang persisted in their pursuit and never stopped. They are the strength of the chamber of commerce, and they naturally faithfully completed the tasks of their immediate superiors.

  However, even the team of the Yinfang Chamber of Commerce finally lost the clues of both sides at a big river rushing by.

On the banks of the Great Elbow River that separates the Baisen Mountains and the Agate Stone Plain, only white waves can be seen washing the river bank, and in the distance is a rift valley. All the team members present had their clothes fluttering and their armor trembling.

  The drop of 300 meters is so terrifying, the moonlight shines on the mist splashed by the waterfall, like a door made of fog, blocking all the pursuers.

  —Ian and the attacker chased all the way here, jumped off this waterfall, and entered the depths of the Baisen Mountains.

  Whether it is the chasing party or the party being chased, they have now completely lost their clues.

   They can only look back.

  However, on the way back, a sharp-eyed adventurer saw that in the distance, on the moonlit mountain, a large number of birds were frightened.

  The battle continues.

  In the mountains in the distance, the white air rises in the forest, the bright silver light penetrates the mist, and the clouds in the sky curl up, covering the moonlight and the mountains, making the night cover the corner of the Baisen Mountains.

  Two black shadows shuttled rapidly through the forest, and the sleeping birds and animals were suddenly awakened. The forest was noisy and panicked, and flying shadows flew straight into the sky.

  At this moment, the situation reversed, and Ian became the fleeing party, while the black shadow, which showed some strength, pursued in turn.

  However, the moods of the two parties are completely different.

   "Throwing down the shattered armor and blade fragments from the previous battle with Baron Ryan, it should be able to camouflage my state a bit worse, and then I don't need to explain why the armor is broken."

  Although he had activated Fairy Wings to escape, Ian still thought about how to use the hands of this unknown pursuer to rationalize some unreasonable problems in himself.

  At this moment, after such a period of chasing and reversal, Ian has roughly figured out part of the opponent's details.

   On the surface, the opponent is an earth-metal specialization sublimator who is good at using a solid body to block his own attacks. Only when he gets close will he try to suppress himself with his well-trained fighting skills and sword skills.

   But in fact, it is not the case at all.

  Ian has seen the truth of the opponent's ability.

  —It's electricity!

This mysterious sublimator uses electromagnetically controlled metal to cover the surface of his body, forming an extremely solid body of steel—and the high-speed movement of the other party is not really the high physical quality of the earth-type sublimator Li Dazhuanfei , but using electromagnetically controlled levitation traction!

   "The next time I go to Nauman City, I will go to inquire about it. There are a few good players in Nanling who can control lightning."

  Ian didn't intend to reveal the power of his second energy level here.

Indeed, he is confident that when he bursts out with all his strength, he is like beheading the deputy section chief of the Gnosis Academy, taking advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness, and instantly injuring and killing him—he has the power of ether crystal growth, and his explosive power can already be compared to the second ability A strong person in the middle class who specializes in this way.

  But a sense of crisis told him that the other party's identity might be unusual, and his strength was definitely not comparable to that of the deputy section chief.

  Whether it is to expose the ether crystal or kill him, there will definitely be big trouble.

  It's like, if Bishop Baiwu is killed in the underground maze, there will be a sense of crisis that Bishop Tianyan will come to wash the ground.

   In addition to this, there is another reason.

  —He deliberately exposed his flaws this time, and ran all the way to the deep mountains and old forests...

   It was originally for 'losing'!

   The other side.

   Sombra was extremely anxious.

  He followed Ian while he was away from the mission, but now he has been out for a long time, and any longer will make others suspicious.

Not to mention, his pursuit with Ian will definitely attract the attention of the noble forces in Nauman City. At that time, his apparent identity may have to be dispatched-and if he is not present at that time, things will be fun .

  He absolutely cannot continue to delay with Ian like this.

   But here is where it gets worrisome.

  He can't catch Ian!

   "Damn it, I have already used the power of the peak of the first energy level, why can't I catch up with this kid?"

   "The goblin is fast and dexterous, I know that, but haven't the human goblin bloodlines all abandoned the aspect of dexterity, and turned themselves into a specialized bloodline similar to turret armor?"

   "Why is this guy so agile, and the fairy wings are the same as the real fairy?"

   "The young man is slender, similar to a goblin, is he just taking advantage?"

  Soi Ying was very depressed. His true strength was at the second level. If he broke out with all his strength, his speed would be as fast as thunder.

  He is confident that after using all his strength, he will be able to catch the kid in front of him who is lightly avoiding all his attacks like fluff in the wind.

  But the black shadow also has a premonition... The deeper the mountain, the more obvious the premonition.

  —If you kill yourself, you will also be in crisis!

   "In the final analysis, what is this kid Ian doing? I just want to ask some questions about the death of Night Snake - did he see anything when he chased to the Lonely Flame Peak that night!"

   Heiying became angry in his heart. Indeed, he would probably silence him after asking, but isn't he still silenced now?

  Since the word has not been silenced, why does this **** country knight resist him? !

  With such malice, the black shadow raised **** of his right hand to form a straight metal blade.

   Immediately afterwards, he slashed towards Ian who was speeding ahead of him!

The blade is not long, only over one meter long, but when the black shadow swung the blade, a strong source matter reaction erupted, and a vacuum channel that spread straight forward was suddenly torn in the air—through the electromagnetic wave disguised as the source matter burst. It was ejected, and the metal blade turned into thunder, slashing towards the young knight's back with a speed faster than bullets!

  Based on Sombra's estimation of Ian's speed, the boy only needs a slight dodge to avoid his own attack.

   But he will fall into a trap instead. He is holding a chain that has just been condensed in his left hand. As long as Ian dodges a little and his strength slows down, he will definitely be entangled by the chain he throws.

   But something that Sombra never expected happened.

  Ian was hit by this knife.

   Click!

  The armor plate on the back of the alchemist's armor shattered again, and a large piece of metal fragments fell off, while the blade inserted straight into the boy's back, cutting open the white skin and flesh.

  Ian’s galloping pace suddenly slowed down for a moment. He looked pale and his strength was declining. He could only quickly inject a bottle of alchemy potion into his veins, and then he accelerated forward again as if desperately fighting for his life!

"what…"

   Sombra hasn't figured out what happened yet, but Ian's injury is undeniable, and he can't let it go.

  He immediately prepared to speed up and pursue the victory.

  But after a few seconds, the pace of the black shadow gradually slowed down.

   Until the end, stop.

  Because, a mountain man with red hair and green eyes stood silently on the road where he was chasing Ian.

   "Please stop."

  Xio held a slender dueling knife in his hand, stood in front of the shadow that covered his face, and said with a half-smile: "Further forward, it is a private residence."

  Under the mask, Sombra's expression was uncertain. He could see that the other party was the member of the Dragon Worship Cult who had been in contact with Ian before, but he didn't know why the other party's first energy level dared to stop him.

   Unless... this is already the stronghold of the Dragon Cult in the depths of the Baisen Mountains!

   They were chasing and fleeing, but they have already run to such a deep place? !
