High Above

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

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

After chasing all the way, they have understood that there is a huge gap between their own strength and Ian. At least in various sword skills and marksmanship, Ian has done the best he can do at his age. Even they Even a veteran who has been fighting for more than ten years cannot pretend to be victorious.

But now it is discovered that even Ian cannot fight against the mysterious black shadow of the raider, and even falls into a disadvantage, even the armor is knocked off and the sword is shattered!

Under such pressure, some people immediately wanted to return and wait for reinforcements, just to save their lives.

——If they really meet each other, wouldn't they both be cutting down the straw, waiting for the fate of being cut down?

But there are also some who strongly demand that the investigation continue. They want to see people alive, and they want to see corpses if they die. The reinforcements from Nauman City are already applying and will catch up soon. They don't need to be afraid at all.

In particular, several teams who received secret orders from Mr. Yinfang persisted in the pursuit and never stopped. They are the strength of the Chamber of Commerce and naturally complete the tasks of their immediate superiors faithfully.

However, even the team from the Yinfang Chamber of Commerce finally lost all clues on both sides at a rushing river.

On the banks of the Elbo River, which separates the Byson Mountains and the Agate Stone Plain, you can only see white waves washing against the river bank. Beyond that is a rift valley. The river water rushes down to form a waterfall. The waves are swept by strong winds, which makes people feel uncomfortable. The clothes of all the team members present were flying and their armors were shaking.

The three-hundred-meter-high drop is so terrifying that the moonlight shines on the water mist splashed by the waterfall, like a door made of fog, blocking all pursuers.

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

Both the pursuing and the pursued party have now completely lost their clues.

They can only turn back.

However, on the way back, some sharp-eyed adventurers saw large swathes of birds flying away in the distance on the moonlit mountains.

The battle continues.

In the distant mountains, white steam rises from the forest, bright silver light penetrates the mist, and the clouds curl up in the sky, covering up the moonlight and mountains, making night cover a 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 frightened, and flying shadows flew high into the sky.

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

However, the moods of both parties are completely different.

"Throwing down the shattered armor and blade fragments from the previous battle with Baron Ryan should be able to disguise my condition as a little worse. There will be no need to explain why the armor was broken later."

Although he had activated his fairy wings to escape, Ian was still able to think about how to use the hands of this unknown pursuer to rationalize some of his unreasonable problems.

At this moment, after such a period of chasing and reversal, Ian has roughly figured out some of the details of the other party.

On the surface, the opponent is a sublimate of some kind of earth-metal specialization. He is good at using a strong body to block his attacks. Only when he gets close will he use his refined fighting skills and sword skills to try to suppress himself.

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

Ian has seen the truth about the other party's ability.

——It’s electricity!

This mysterious sublimator uses electromagnetic control to cover the surface of his body with metal, forming an extremely strong body of steel - and the opponent's high-speed movement is not really that of an earth-based sublimate with such great strength that it can fly. Quality, but electromagnetic controlled suspension traction!

"When I go to Nauman City next time, I'll go and find out. There are some experts in controlling lightning in Nanling."

Ian had no intention of exposing his second-level power here.

Indeed, when he has the confidence to explode with all his strength, he can take advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness and instantly severely injure and kill him, just like he killed the deputy section chief of the Academy of Spiritual Knowledge. With the increased output of ether crystals, his explosive power can already be compared to the second best. A strong person in the energy level who specializes in this way.

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

Whether he exposes the ether crystal or kills him, there will definitely be big trouble.

Just like, if Bishop Baiwu is killed in the underground maze, there will be a sense of crisis like Archbishop Tianyan coming to wash the ground.

Besides that, there is another reason.

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

It’s all about ‘losing’!

the other side.

Heiying was extremely anxious.

He took advantage of his spare time on the mission to track down Ian, but now he was out for a long time, and any longer would make him suspicious.

Not to mention, his chase 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 was not present at that time, things would be fun. .

He absolutely cannot continue to delay this with Ian.

However, this is where the anxiety lies.

He can't catch up with Ian!

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

"Elves are fast and dexterous, I know that, but haven't all human elf bloodlines abandoned this aspect of dexterity, and instead turned themselves into a specialized output bloodline similar to turret armor?"

"Why is this guy so agile and uses the same fairy wings as a real fairy?"

"The young man has a slender body, similar to that of a goblin. Are you taking advantage of him?"

Black Shadow is very depressed. His true strength has the second level. If he explodes with all his strength, his speed is as fast as thunder. It is the fastest in the third level of Nanling. But at this moment, in order to avoid exposing his flaws, he does not dare to use all his strength rashly.

He was confident that after using all his strength, he would immediately be able to catch the boy in front of him, who was as light as catkins floating in the wind, avoiding all his attacks.

But the shadow also has a premonition...the deeper it goes into the mountain, the more obvious the premonition becomes.

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

"After all, what is this boy Ian doing? I just want to ask some questions about the death of Night Snake - whether he saw anything when he chased to Lone Flame Peak that night!"

Heiying became angry in his heart. Indeed, he would most likely shut up after asking, but isn't he still alive now?

Since he hasn't silenced him yet, why does this damn country knight have the right to resist him? !

With such malice, the black shadow raised two fingers of his right hand to shape a straight metal blade.

Immediately afterwards, he slashed towards Ian who was flying rapidly in front of him!

The blade was not long, only a little over a meter long, but when the black shadow waved the blade, a strong source of energy reaction burst out, and a vacuum channel spread straight forward in the air - through the explosion disguised as source of matter With the electromagnetic ejection, the metal blade turned into thunder and slashed at the back of the young knight with a speed faster than a bullet!

Based on Black Shadow's estimate of Ian's speed, the boy only needed a slight dodge to dodge his attack.

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

But something that Heiying never expected happened.

Ian was hit by this knife.

Click!

The armor plate on the back of the alchemist's armor shattered again, breaking off large pieces of metal, and the blade penetrated straight into the young man's back, cutting open the fair 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, as if fighting for his life, he accelerated forward again!

"What……"

Black Shadow hasn't figured out what happened yet, but Ian is undoubtedly injured and cannot let it go.

He immediately prepared to speed up and pursue the victory.

But after a few seconds, the shadow's pace gradually slowed down.

Until the end, stop.

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

"Please stop."

Xio was holding a slender dueling knife in his hand, standing in front of the black shadow that obscured his face, and said with a faint smile: "Further forward, there is a private residence."

Under the mask, the shadow's expression was uncertain. He could tell 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 a first-level person dared to stop him.

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

During their pursuit, they had actually reached such a deep place? !
