Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 167 The Supreme Wolf Hunter

The two dark shadows quickly moved to the edge of the outer wall.

On the windowsill, the figure of the white cat Index gradually disappeared. As the "civet cat"'s stealth ability was activated, her sight was fixed on the two suspicious figures.

Just outside the window, two Black Fangs quickly approached the location of the "Wolf Hunting Tavern".

But when they sneaked nearby, their movements stopped again.

One of them, Black Fang, suddenly turned his right hand up, with the blade of the dagger in his hand facing the sky, and placed his other wrist horizontally on the blade.

——Swish! There was a sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh, and Black Fang pulled out the dagger violently, and bright red blood spurted out from his wrist.

The next moment, the blood quickly turned into deep black and spread around like fog.

The black mist surrounding the two Black Fangs suddenly became thicker.

Their figures were soon completely shrouded in black fog, and even their sounds were silenced.

Afterwards, the Black Fangs continued to move, rapidly approaching the Wolf Hunting Tavern.

"..."

Index was extremely nervous and watched the Black Fangs' movements closely, not wanting to miss any details.

——It's quite dangerous! This was Index's first instinct as the incarnation of the "civet cat".

The two black shadows suddenly jumped up and quickly flashed into the blind spot of Index's vision and disappeared.

When she lost sight of them, Index turned around and lightly jumped off the ground.

She wanted to wake up Luo Xiu - for the "Lord" and for her own safety.

However, as soon as she jumped to the ground, the light in front of her eyes dimmed instantly.

Index looked up, only to meet a familiar gaze. The "Lord" was staring at her.

"--Meow!" Index warned.

Although she didn't know when her "Lord" Luo Xiu woke up, Intis had no time to think too much in such a dangerous situation.

"Come onto my shoulders, Intis."

Luo Xiu said softly, picking up the black robe on the clothes support.

"I'll take you to see why I chose the 'Wolf Hunting Tavern'."

……

Two Black Fangs, codenamed "Hyena" and "Blood Owl", who were subordinates of "Executioner" Koros, came to the vicinity of the Wolf Hunting Tavern according to the location given by Koros.

Before sneaking in from outside Songyuan City, the "Fallen Prophet" gave them a silver sundial compass. It was said that it was a gift from the Mother Goddess that could "guide" them to the target of their assassination mission.

When the "Blood Owl" sacrificed blood and strengthened the concealment of the black fog, the "Hyena" took out the compass from his arms, and his deep eyes hidden under the cloak stared at the trembling shadow on the compass.

It was mercury with the prophet's "spirituality" attached to it, which kept jumping inside the crystal arc of the compass and gradually converged in a clear direction.

The "Silver Sundial Compass" points to the mission target of the "Black Fang" hyena and the blood owl!

Such a clear compass pointing means that the target is within reach!

The corner of Hyena's mouth rose slightly, and he put away the compass, and together with Blood Owl, he continued to sneak quickly towards the Hound Tavern.

They were getting closer to the outer wall of the tavern. Suddenly, the blood owl raised its head slightly, grabbed the hyena's arm, and sneaked to the corner.

The "Blood Owl" felt being watched - it was the vigilant gaze of a transcendent being, and was on the same spiritual level as the "Black Fang"!
Could that be the mission objective? Blood Owl thought silently.

At the same time, he uttered a deep voice: "It is a transcendent person of the 'Triple Fate'."

"I know." The hyena answered briefly, and they went around to the back door of the tavern.

The back door was closed, but the wall was not high.

The hyena then raised his arm, made a beautiful knife pattern with the dagger in his hand, and stabbed at the wall.

——Poof! The dagger made a crisp sound, but when it pierced into the wall, it was like piercing tofu, as if it entered nothing.

The "Hyena" tightly grasped the handle of the dagger, then nimbly climbed over the wall and stretched out his hand to the "Blood Owl" below.

Blood Owl reached out his hand and held the hyena's palm at the same time. He immediately felt a rising force that brought him to the top of the wall.

Two dark shadows quickly jumped off the wall and came to the inside of the tavern.

After looking around and making sure there was no possible danger, the hyena took out the silver sundial compass from his arms.

The mercury in the dish no longer jumped, but pointed directly in a certain direction.

"In front." The hyena put away the compass, raised his head, and looked straight at the narrow door in front.

——The target is behind that door. This is the answer the “Silver Sundial Compass” told him!
Blood Owl nodded, then he lowered his body and completely condensed the black mist around him, covering only the outline of his body.

The hyena found a blind spot and lay dormant, while the blood owl, which was in a highly stealthy state, slowly approached the door.

The dense fog around the blood owl immediately turned into a wisp of sharp mist, which was held in the blood owl's hand and gently pierced into the keyhole of the door lock.

Bah...bah...

The mist pierced through the door lock, and the mechanism inside it suddenly made a burning sound.

The hyena on guard on the other side had a sensitive nose and could even smell the smell of rust.

Click—with a crisp sound, the catch in the door lock was completely corroded, and the Blood Owl immediately retracted the black mist.

He raised his hand, pressed his palm lightly on the surface of the door, and pushed it gently.

……

--boom! ! !

A terrifying spiritual surge instantly erupted from behind the door!
A heavy slash came towards the Blood Owl without warning, knocking him flying in an instant!

Unlike what Blood Owl had expected, the tavern was not dark and deserted.

On the contrary, the moment he pushed open the door, he saw a rather burly figure!

The Blood Owl was flying backwards in the air, blood gushing out from all seven of his orifices at the same time. Before he could figure out what was happening, his mind was frozen with the image he had seen a second ago -

A muscular old man, holding an exquisite round shield in his left hand and a rusty giant axe in his right hand, stood on the inside of the door like a door god.

The heavy blow that Blood Owl had just suffered came from him - the old man swung up the giant axe, and the axe blade hit Blood Owl heavily like a ball!

……

"Cough...cough..."

The blood owl was knocked away and landed heavily on a pile of bricks, smashing the bricks all over the ground.

Blood Owl's eyes went dark, and his thoughts came to a standstill in an instant.

He clearly felt that the blow from the old man with the huge axe just now had completely dislocated his internal organs and even broken several of his ribs.

Blood Owl supported himself on the ground with his left hand and struggled to stand up, enduring the waves of severe pain in his body, looking at the old man in front of him with deep eyes.

"I was wondering why I couldn't sleep well today."

The old man had a wolf-like gaze. He swung the huge axe in his right hand and carried it on his shoulder. The small shield with red engravings in his left hand suddenly emitted a faint red light from the shield surface.

“It turned out that a little bug had gotten in.”

The old man said in a low voice.

"..." The Blood Owl narrowed his eyes slightly, and a feeling of fear suddenly surged up in his heart, but he still forced himself to remain calm.

He already felt that the old man opposite him was at a higher spiritual level than him!
The "Blood Owl" who belongs to Black Fang, he is the triple destiny of [Ku Tu].

However, the spiritual energy emanating from the old man opposite revealed that he was at least a transcendent being with a "quadruple destiny"!
Blood Owl's eyes wandered, and he was not going to say anything more to the old man. Instead, he turned around quickly and ran away from him!
Run away! This was the first thought that came to Blood Owl's mind, and it was also in line with the original intention of "Black Fang".

Now something unexpected has happened!
The purpose of their coming here was to investigate the priest mentioned by the "Executioner", not to die here for no reason!

Now that the compass has confirmed the location, Blood Owl knows that he has no reason to continue fighting an enemy of unknown strength.

Black fog enveloped the entire body of the Blood Owl. Under the cover of the deep night, his figure gradually became blurred, making it difficult to be sensed or noticed.

The blood owl ran wildly, trying to avoid the old man's pursuit in this way.

However, the dim blue moonlight above his head was shrouded by a huge black shadow the next moment.

The old man holding the axe suddenly jumped and leaped into the air!

At the same time, he raised the giant axe high with one hand and chopped it down on the blood owl's head!

"..."

As the black shadow approached rapidly, the blood owl also urgently began to perform some strange prayers.

There was a rustling sound in the air, and the huge axe in the old man's hand was about to hit the blood owl's head, cutting off his head along with the hood of his cloak.

However, the next moment, the Blood Owl also completed his prayer.

His body instantly disintegrated, forming blood-colored turbid balls that dispersed and escaped in the surroundings.

--boom! ! !

The old man's giant axe smashed down heavily, passing through the previous position of the blood owl, and hit the ground heavily, making a deafening noise.

However, the old man did not feel any sensation of cutting flesh and blood from the giant axe.

"Hahaha!"

In mid-air, the "Blood Owl" suddenly let out a sharp laugh, as if it was proud of the success of its plan.

"You! You are just..."

As the Blood Owl fled in all directions, he couldn't help but want to say something half-bragging, half-mocking.

But his words soon came to an abrupt end.

In the "spiritual" vision of the Blood Owl, he suddenly saw that at the same time when the old man's axe hit in vain, the light red light flowing on the round shield in his left hand suddenly turned into a deep red like blood!

Several surges of spiritual energy surged out from the shield and took the form of shackles.

Those shackles quickly caught up with the blood owl's disintegrating and dispersing blood mass, and bound them tightly in place.

No matter how the Blood Owl struggled, he could not break free from this spiritual cage!

"What am I?"

The old man raised the shield in his left hand, and his wolf-hunting eyes swept over the shivering blood balls in front of him.

"You are actually... the... the highest...!"

The blood owl's terrified cry came out intermittently from the blood clots.

In the next moment, the round shield in the old man's hand suddenly burst out with an extremely strong spiritual shock. The iron chains that were embodied by the spirituality instantly burned red and ignited scarlet flames.

"Uh...uh..."

The "blood balls" cried desperately at the same time. They gradually became dim, and the turbid spheres composed of spirituality were also shrinking rapidly.

Under the burning of the scarlet flames, the Blood Owl's spiritual power was lost madly, and his desperate cries gradually weakened, and soon no sound could be heard.

And when he could no longer sense any spiritual surge from the "Blood Owl" in mid-air, the old man withdrew his round shield, and the flaming chains disappeared in an instant.

"… Turns out it was the rotten tooth of the 'thief'."

The old man murmured something in a low voice, then brushed off the dust on his body.

His expression was indifferent, and he did not show any emotional fluctuations because of what had just happened.

Because he had experienced things like this countless times.

……

the other side.

He suddenly felt a surge of fear at the "hyena" lurking and alert far away.

The old man before made him feel the pressure on the spiritual level.

The old man had just attacked the "Blood Owl", although it was a sneak attack, but the terrifying spirituality revealed in it made the hyena tremble!
"Who is that?" The hyena was frightened, and complicated thoughts came to his mind.

But he quickly suppressed his fear and began to think about his next move.

The "Blood Owl" had been knocked away by the old man, and the old man chased in his direction, seemingly unaware of his hiding self.

"Hyena" knew that this was an extremely rare opportunity for him.

Just now, the old man guarding the gate had demonstrated his powerful fighting ability. "Hyena" knew very well that he was not an enemy he could deal with alone.

The hyena thought quickly in his mind, he now had two choices.

First, go and support the "Blood Owl". The two of them will deal with the old man together, and then solve their mission target - there is an extraordinary person with the "Quadruple Destiny" involved. Although this is beyond the expectations of Black Fang, if they can complete the mission and kill a hidden Quadruple Destiny strongman at the same time and then go back, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement.

Secondly, he should run away without looking back, the farther the better - while the "Blood Owl" has completely attracted the other party's attention, he should bring back the information confirming the compass direction and the existence of a "Quadruple Destiny" extraordinary person here. This is a safer decision and a more important matter!
The hyena thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.

The hyena bent down while the other party didn't notice it.

The next moment, the hyena suddenly rushed out and ran away from the tavern!
"If one Blood Owl dies... only one Blood Owl is sacrificed!"

The hyenas ran away howling, and a look of madness appeared on his face.

"What a joke... As an assassin, Blood Owl was actually ambushed. This is doomed to be a terrible failure!"

"His death, well, his death was necessary. It was the price he paid for not being careful enough! However, his death also had value. That was because I was able to leave safely!"

The expression on the hyena's face became more and more crazy.

He sprinted madly in the direction away from the tavern, looking back from time to time to make sure that the distance between him and the tavern was rapidly increasing.

However, he was not able to rush out of the block where the tavern was located.

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit him accurately, paralyzing his movements temporarily.

The "hyena"'s vision was instantly deprived, and one of his calves was cut off by the sudden lightning. Blood gushed out of the wound, and he fell to his knees on the ground in exhaustion.

The expression on his face instantly changed from fanaticism to horror, and waves of despair rose in his heart.

Black Fang's "Hyena" actually felt a spiritual pressure from the lightning...

The pressure of the "quadruple destiny"!

There is actually a second one, a transcendent being with the “quadruple destiny”!
"Hyena" was terrified. He was a warrior of [Ku Tu] and did not have all kinds of strange escape abilities like "Blood Owl".

However, as a warrior, I can't even see where the enemy is!
"What exactly am I facing?"

In the heart of the "hyena", a feeling of despair gradually surged up and eventually occupied his entire heart.
