Chapter 200: Chapter 151 - Assassinating the Sea Emperor_3
At that moment, the cook, Wesley, and the three of the mosquito team exchanged glances. They didn’t know what was about to happen, but they had some hunches. The comforting thing for them was that, in such a situation, the first thing Long Yi thought of was to rely on them. What did this mean? It meant that they had already gained recognition from Long Yi!
In truth, they hadn’t realized that their talents already surpassed their peers. It’s just that with Long Yi in their way, their true skills had been suppressed from shining through. However, Long Yi had been watching them all along.
Once matured, these individuals would become Long Yi’s most trusted comrades in arms! And today, might just be their first battle!
As the Emperor and the Sea Emperor were still advancing, no one noticed anything amiss, but Long Yi was fully prepared. He had spotted several people in the crowd that Wesley had discovered earlier and remembered them all. These suspicious people certainly had ulterior motives. While it might be presumptuous to immediately suspect them of wrongdoing, it was certain that they weren’t here just to watch the event.
Long Yi sincerely hoped that his assumptions about these people were wrong because any turmoil here would directly impact the relationship between the White Dragon Empire and the Deep Sea Empire.
However, as the Emperor and the Sea Emperor got closer, Long Yi’s heart sank. He saw the change in those suspicious people’s eyes!
"Prepare..." Long Yi whispered, his companions immediately got ready.
"Charge!"
Almost simultaneously, over a dozen people rushed out from both sides of the academy, heading straight towards the Emperor. They were recognizably connected to Long Yi, while the other group consisted of a bunch of unfamiliar faces! And evidently, the strangers were moving faster!
"Little Zi!"
Long Yi shouted, as Little Zi sped up, a Mental Impact headed straight for the strangers, accompanied by a chilling aura. Their eyes flickered, but it was only a brief lapse as they quickly shook off the effect of the Mental Impact whilst closing in on the Emperor!
These scoundrels have prepared thoroughly?! They can even resist a Mental Impact?
Nonetheless, this brief moment was enough for Long Yi and his team!
"Cook!"
Long Yi shouted, and the Cook rushed out, a cloud of Hive Dragon’s self-destructive bugs filling the sky. The Swarm Beetles obscured everyone’s vision while almost simultaneously Mosquito’s Nine Mosquito Dragon managed to sting everyone in an instant!
No! Not everyone!
"Brother Long, two people avoided the Mosquito!" Wesley shouted.
"Ai Lin! One each!" Long Yi ordered.
"Yes!"
Ai Lin’s arms materialized with the Crystal Core Armguards, firmly deflecting the sword energies that exploded from the fireworks. Meanwhile, Long Yi charged in and twisted the necks of two people in an instant. But strangely, their bodies began to expand uncontrollably!
"Body explosion! They have been cursed! Get away!" Wesley exclaimed.
"There’s no time!"
"I’ve got this!"
Ruoshan, the Tiger Whale Warrior, threw a punch. As Long Yi moved away, the punch landed on the twisted bodies. Immediately, there was a loud sound, and a shower of blood flew through the air. Ruoshan’s fist was shattered once again!
As Long Yi jumped back, he didn’t waste any time. He turned around again and charged into the dense smoke. Within the swirling smoke that resembled ink, Ai Lin was engaged in a heated battle with one of the men. The man was armed with a short sword and moved agilely. However, Ai Lin’s flexibility was superior, and her Crystal Core Armguards were impervious, leaving the man’s sharp sword unable to pierce her defenses.
Where was the other man?
When Long Yi charged into the smoke, he only saw five men. One was knocked down by Ai Lin, while the other four were downed by Long Yi. But it was clear that two people had evaded the Nine Mosquito Dragon’s attack. Where was the other one?
Had he used the smoke to hide?
Long Yi suddenly crouched down and struck the ground with a powerful punch, dispersing the smoky haze. At the same time, a warning from Wesley rang out.
"Brother Long, behind you!"
Surely such a despicable person would attack from behind! He had prepared a feast for him!
"Dragon Tooth Strangulation!"
The Fighting Aura burst forth, and a shadow charging at Long Yi was caught in his Dragon Tooth Strangulation, giving out a scream as he was eliminated. Simultaneously, the remaining attacker, seeing his companion fall, realized his assassination attempt had failed. Despair filled his eyes as he swallowed something, and his body struggled for a moment, rapidly aging until he withered away!
Within an instant, only the ones still scratching themselves on the ground were left of the assassins.
"Necromancy." Little Zi murmured, watching the two men on the ground.
"Can you undo it?" Long Yi asked.
"No, they’re already dead, only being driven by instinct due to the incantation. Whether killed by someone, or if the incantation disappears, they’ll explode instantly," replied Little Zi.
All the while, barely half a minute had passed.
The Emperor and his entourage hadn’t even had the chance to react, and everything was over. Finally, the spectators, who were belatedly aware of what had happened, began to panic. However, everything was already over, leading to only disorder and thankfully, no stampedes. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote for it.
