Chapter 306: Chapter 215: The Long-Awaited Assassination
In the dormitory full of people, there might be some trouble, but now you’ve come to the deserted training ground all by yourself. It’s as if you’re practically seeking your own death!
First, Long Yi jogs, then he performs frog jumps, attempting to awake his body earlier. After a set of exercises, his spirit had fully revitalized. However, those five men have been watching him for a while now, why haven’t they attacked yet?
Xiaoyou was silently circling in the sky. As a Shadow Dragon, it was extremely difficult to spot in the night. Besides, its flight was soundless. Unless people purposely stared into the night sky, hardly anyone would notice there was another pair of eyes staring back at them.
"Here they come!"
From Xiaoyou’s perspective, the man behind Long Yi had finally struck an attacking pose! The other four quickly tensed their bodies from their various positions. Then, all five of them simultaneously took out a bottle of potion from their pockets and drank it in one gulp!
Whoosh!
The Fighting Aura was fully released, and the supposed assassin surprisingly had three Dragon Marks. A pill popper? Using potions to catalyze the Fighting Aura?
With an abrupt attack, Little Zi shouted out, "Brother Long, be careful!"
A mental force was exposed with a bang, but everyone else remained reactionless.
"Eh? Is it the Isolation Headband?"
Little Zi exclaimed in surprise. Naturally, the Isolation Headband blocked all mental energy. Generally, a Dragon Knight wished to maintain contact with Mount Dragon using spiritual energy, and therefore they absolutely couldn’t use such a thing. However, these five men were using Isolation Headbands at this moment, which meant they were not planning on using Mount Dragon’s power and intended to kill Long Yi entirely based on their own strength!
Heh, their patience isn’t bad!
But it’s a pity! Even with your Mount Dragons, you might not be my match! Besides, you’re all just pill poppers?
Begone!
With a roar, Long Yi swung the Dragon-slaying Sword, releasing a massive Sword Aura slash. The man behind him coldly snorted, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. Is this idiotic act of launching an Aura Skill upon meeting really something that the undefeated Long Yi would do?
However, he soon realized that Long Yi’s move wasn’t the final one— it was just the beginning! Following that initial Sword Aura attack, he slashed with five more in just a second!
What an outrageous power! What a freakish Aura controlling power!
Everyone knew that while launching an Aura Skill, because of the Aura operation, the human body would instinctively move in certain directions. If you wanted to continue releasing Aura Skills during this time, you would have to forcibly stop the previous Aura operation and control your body to get ready for the next action.
This would be difficult!
Exceedingly difficult!
No one could figure out how to increase the speed of launching Aura Skills and practiced fanatically. And yet, this bastard in front of them had released five Sword Auras in a single second!
Little did they know, Long Yi was in a state of completely unlocked Giant’s Bloodline. His control over his Aura and his own power was astonishing. Even he was surprised by his ability to release Aura Skills with such speed for the first time.
"So cool!" Long Yi couldn’t help but silently praise himself.
The continuous Aura attacks forced the attacker to dodge rather than fight head-on, and thus he lost his initiative. Long Yi pivoted in place, his Frost Mourne sweeping across, brushing off the successive attacks from the rear.
"Hey, if you’re only capable of this, I’m afraid you’ll be leaving empty-handed again." He said with a laugh.
"Empty-handed? Look down at your feet first!" The person who was blocked initially sneered.
Long Yi looked down and found, to his surprise, a lump of silvery liquid had somehow appeared under his feet. It looked like metal, but it was kind of semi-transparent. "Trap activated!"
The liquid suddenly wrapped around Long Yi’s legs. He abruptly felt the Fighting Aura in his body rapidly escaping!
"You’re kidding, right? Again?" This was already the second time. He had fallen for a trap only a few days earlier. That time it was shackles, and this time it’s a trap?
"Yeah, again. But this time it’s different. This time, you’re done for!"
Just as his Fighting Aura was completely immobilized, all five men swiftly moved closer, their weapons aiming at the vital parts of Long Yi’s body!
"I mean, have you guys forgotten something?" Long Yi smirked.
"Forgotten what?" The leader was baffled.
"Me, Long Yi, I am not just a Dragon Fighter." Long Yi said with a smirk.
"Hmph, even if you’re a Mage, what of it! I don’t believe you can cast a magic surpassing a single Dragon Rank!"
"Indeed, neither you nor I believe that I could. But to deal with you all, I don’t necessarily need magic that surpasses a single Dragon Rank!"
With a sudden roar, Long Yi shouted—
"Random Casting!"
Random casting is a special buff spell for mages. Once cast, they enter a unique state where they randomly cast spells on their enemy at every moment. The spell could be a buff spell, a curse, or an attack.
Generally, mages resort to this spell when they’re cornered.
As for Long Yi, he had other options. He cast this spell just for the fun of it!
He swung his hands forcefully!
Magic Missile!
Clear Hearing and Vision!
Blazing Impact!
Sail with the Wind!
Thunderstrike!
Long Yi completely unleashed his giant bloodline, casting spells swiftly. In a blink of an eye, a barrage of spells rained down. Everyone was blown back by various buff and debuff spells, then smashed to the ground by different attack spells.
"Damn! How could this be! His magic hasn’t exceeded a single Dragon Mark!" The five people couldn’t believe that such weak spells could have such enormous power! They were utterly unaware that Long Yi’s spells completely ignored the gap between their ranks. The spells he cast inflicted real damage!
"You won’t understand, and I don’t feel like explaining." Long Yi responded with a laugh, "Ah, you don’t have the magic bracelets, do you? This means the Empire law protecting Dragon Rider Academy students doesn’t apply to you, and you’re assassins. You attempted to murder me first. I’m merely defending myself. Even if I kill you, I won’t violate the school law prohibiting students from murder."
With that, Long Yi moved forward with a cruel smile, and the ground traps flickered. With the sound of a crack, the extraordinarily hard trap was suddenly shattered!
"How could this be!" The five individuals finally realized that they had underestimated Long Yi. They wanted to restrain Long Yi’s fighting aura with the traps and kill him in one strike. This was a standard assassination method, almost foolproof. They were aware that Long Yi was also a mage, but it was impossible for someone to advance in both fighting aura and magic at the same time! Since Long Yi’s fighting aura was the strongest, his magic couldn’t possibly be robust.
Unfortunately, they guessed right yet missed something. Long Yi’s magic might not be powerful, but it was enough to cause severe damage to them! What was even more unexpected, Long Yi broke free from the trap using sheer force again!
Bastard! How strong is he!
"Hold on!"
The lead assassin suddenly shouted.
"Do you have any last words? I’m not interested in listening. I’m not one of those villains who died while flapping their gums. Just go and die obediently." Long Yi was uninterested in arguing with them.
"Don’t you even care about your friend’s safety?" Seeing the Dragon-slaying Sword close at hand, the man cried out desperately.
"My friend’s safety?" Long Yi’s sword tip was already at the man’s forehead, a drop of blood trickled down from his forehead and dripped from his nose.
"Heh heh heh, you indeed care a lot about your friends! No wonder we specifically spent extra to add another team of assassins." The lead assassin laughed.
Then, from the back of the arena, Wesley, the chef, and Mosquito were escorted out by three other individuals. It was clear that they were chained with handcuffs which could seal off all their fighting aura.
"Brother Long! I’m sorry! I’ve let you down! We brothers thought we could catch them, but somehow they managed to put handcuffs on us, and now we’ve lost all our fighting aura."
Wesley said with a sunken expression.
"Alright, let’s have a chat now, Long Yi."
The lead assassin sneered, pulling his head back a bit from Protagonist’s sword.
"Hmm, it seems we really should have a talk, but before that..." Suddenly Long Yi spun around, rushing sideways, and his Dragon-slaying Sword turned into a streak of cold light!
With four soft sounds, all four heads of the ones who previously ambushed Long Yi were chopped off by his sword. Then, Long Yi’s sword stabbed through the chest of the leading man.
"You!!! You!!!" The lead man was scared witless. He hadn’t expected Long Yi to strike at that moment! Wasn’t he someone who valued friendships? Didn’t he care for the people around him? How could he suddenly murder without hesitation!
"You’d better stay still. My Dragon-slaying Sword pierced your chest, but I didn’t hit your heart. It’s just below your heart. But, if I raise my sword a little, things will be completely different. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I...I..."
"What I mean is, if you move a little, and your heart gets nicked, bye-bye. "
Long Yi spoke. He actually moved a bit, instantly causing a sharp pain in the man’s heart. He wasn’t sure if it was from the wound or the Dragon-slaying Sword brushing against his heart.
"I guess you assassins aren’t fond of your lives, and I’m afraid you’ll try to take me out even at the cost of your own lives. I don’t care about your plots, but I care very much for my friends. So, I have to make you truly feel the threat of death. How does it feel having your heart on a knife’s edge? Isn’t it a more profound understanding?"
Long Yi said.
The leading assassin gazed at his own chest, trying hard to lift his body a little, fearing his heart would be scratched by the sword.
"Alright, now, let’s talk." Long Yi said.(To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
