The Puppeteer of Academy City

Although he was stabbed, Ling Xingye didn't panic. Since he had the blood of silver, he didn't take the usual "minor injuries" to heart.

Because of too many battles and injuries recently, he was somewhat numb.

In this kind of situation where the enemy is dark and we are clear, we are not afraid of how powerful the enemy is, but we are afraid that they will hide in the dark and not come out.

Now, since it has appeared, things are actually simpler.

— Just knock them down.

The two enemies above the head and behind are the most difficult, so Ling Xingye manipulated the sprites to kill them.

At the same time, the "flying blade" was cut forward.

Although the narrow and limited space in the stairwell provides the enemy with a good ambush site, it also limits the range of activities for everyone.

Therefore, as long as you sweep the slash across the entire space, you will definitely gain something.

He heard two muffled grunts again—sure enough, he hit the target.

The quality of these hound assassins is extremely strong, and Ling Xingye's two attacks only injured the enemy and were not fatal.

Especially the enemy who attacked behind him was a level higher than the others. Ling Xingye felt that the flying blade that was cutting towards him was actually pushed away by him with his weapon!

While responding to the sprite's attack, he was able to take care of such a delicate operation, which made Ling Xingye a little suspicious-whether this hound assassin was disguised by an automatic puppet.

His vision gradually recovered, and Ling Xingye finally saw the other party's appearance.

Wearing a pitch-black combat suit, a full-coverage gas mask and night vision goggles, he is fully armed.

The only incongruity lies in the weapons they use—as an elite force, all members use a dagger with a hideous shape that looks like fangs. Except for some grenades, they were not equipped with any firearms.

Ling Xingye had noticed this army yesterday when he saw it. Now, it seems that they are special fighters specially trained for assassination. No wonder they adopt such a strange way of fighting.

Unlike other Hound Assassins, the man in the back was wearing a special glove on his left hand, which allowed him to face sprites head-on without losing the wind.

He held back the sprites by himself!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, other hound assassins attacked again.

The Hound Assassin was fighting at home, and another strong man held back the trump card of the target, occupying the right time, place and people.

The others were even more fearless and culled them.

At the same time as the surprise assassination, they also used tear gas together.

Ling Xingye didn't have a gas mask, so he rushed up quickly, trying to get out of the range covered by the gas.

The hound assassins took advantage of the situation and threw another round of grenades.

This time it was stun bombs and flash bombs. The enemy once again deprived Ling Xingye of hearing and vision with the simplest and most brutal means.

An all-round attack with no dead ends, and the master who can suppress sprites and deflect flying knives...

"It's really hard to deal with..." Ling Xingye was careless, and there were a few more wounds on his body, "I can't go on like this!"

The enemy obviously came here to kill him, so Ling Xingye naturally couldn't sit still and wait for death.

"Tsk, don't blame me if you accidentally kill you." Ling Xingye shouted as if giving up, "The next step is self-defense!"

After all, Ling Xingye spun his body violently, kicking away the enemies close to him, and the five "flying blades" were thrown out like whips, slashing towards the surroundings with incomparable sharpness.

This is a truly merciless all-round attack. In the previous two strokes of Ling Xingye, he deliberately lowered the cutting surface to avoid hurting the enemy's life.

But sure enough, in the face of this kind of crazy enemy who is not afraid of death, one can't take chances and show mercy.

As for the iron law of not killing people, it's better to wait until you can live to have a headache.

However, Ling Xingye immediately discovered that the "flying blade" he swung didn't feel like hitting the target.

Hearing only a few puffs, the enemy seemed to use some means to quickly retreat.

The crazy combo attack just now was just a feint?

Ling Xingye was vigilant against the enemy's plot, but suddenly felt the sound of drum-like footsteps coming from in front of him, as if someone was rushing towards him in a violent manner.

Ling Xingye couldn't help taking two steps back, ready to retreat down the stairs to meet the enemy.

However, on the last step of the ladder, he stepped on the air.

There was another explosion in front of him, pushing him back, and he inevitably fell into the abyss.

Ling Xingye swung out the silk thread, trying to wrap it around some support.

In the end, he got nothing, but was blown down by a continuous burst of explosion shock waves, together with the sprites!

What's more, the enemy seemed to have anticipated Ling Xingye's reaction, and simply blew up the ceiling, the walls on both sides, and the handrails of the stairs, and fell down.

Don't give Ling Xingye the slightest chance to escape!

After going through a period of darkness, Ling Xingye's eyes suddenly brightened.

He found that there was actually a huge space under him—one hundred meters in length, width and height, paved with large chunks of pure white boards, bright and pale.

In stark contrast to the dimly lit scene above.

The appearance and layout of this space is a bit too strange. But Ling Xingye is no stranger to this—this is a laboratory, which is generally used for more destructive experimental projects such as actual combat simulations.

In Academy City, this kind of "laboratory" is not uncommon. For various obvious reasons, it is often referred to as the "Gladiator Arena" by insiders.

At a distance of 70 meters from the bottom, Ling Xingye saw a huge glass observation window.

A somewhat familiar figure of Ling Xingye stood in the observation room behind the window, looking at himself who fell down.

"There are a lot of Kihara!"

Using the silk thread and the "phase fulcrum", Ling Xingye and Yaoyao landed smoothly, and then swung the silk thread to fly away the wreckage of the building that fell with them.

In this huge and empty space, it should be a sterile and dust-free environment, but Ling Xingye could smell a **** smell.

He thought to himself, maybe this is also the "experimental ground" for Accelerator and his sisters?

But Ling Xingye immediately realized that the smell of blood was not an illusion. At the other end, there was another figure lying on the ground, surrounded by a pool of bright red blood.

Ling Xingye hurried over, but found it was a flower.

She didn't seem to be able to land smoothly, and fell from a height of 100 meters. She was seriously injured. In addition to the pool of blood under her body, her left leg also showed obvious signs of fracture.

Thanks to Hua also possessing the blood of silver, she didn't fall directly to death.

Although their "silver blood" was of relatively low purity, when Ling Xingye saw her, the wounds on her body had almost healed, only the fracture of her left leg hadn't been corrected yet.

"Who?" Feeling someone approaching, Hua Qishi struggled to wake up and looked up.

"Ah!" She exclaimed nervously, "It's you, Ling Xingye!"
