Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 185 Hidden Temptation (3k4)

——Black Fang!
After just a moment's observation, Luo Xiu confirmed the identity of the intruder.

He was the extraordinary person of the triple destiny assassin school [Ku Tu]. Before he broke into the room, he had completely concealed his aura, which made Luo Xiu unaware of it for a moment.

——Swish! The deep dark light formed a vertical line and pierced towards Luo Xiu's heart. At the same time, the twisted, ominous black dagger in the assassin's hand was also wrapped in mist-like wisps.

In an instant, the dagger had stabbed into Luo Xiu's chest.

Seeing that he was about to succeed, the Black Tooth Assassin who was carrying out the assassination could not help but reveal a sinister sneer on his face. However, just when he thought the assassination was successful and the bloody scene that would follow began to emerge in his mind.

——Dang! A sharp, teeth-grinding sound reached the assassin's ears.

He did feel that he had penetrated and shattered something, but it was not the flesh and blood body of the target in front of him.

——Dang! In the next moment, the twisted dagger in the assassin's hand was completely bounced away by the force of the counterattack. He felt a sharp pain in his hands holding the dagger, as if he was stabbed by a sharp thorn.

The sneer on the assassin's face, which was like a conspiracy that had succeeded, disappeared, and was replaced by deep suspicion and fear.

Failed! The assassination failed! This was the only thought in the assassin's mind, and he quickly turned around, wanting to rush out of the window as soon as possible.

However, just as he was about to assassinate the priest, an arm swung at him forcefully.

Before the assassin could escape, Luo Xiu's hand had already grabbed his right arm and held it tightly like an iron hoop.

Then, Luo Xiu's fingertips suddenly burst out with tremendous force, crushing the flesh on the assassin's upper arm and clamping his arm bone.

“—Ughhhhhhhhh!”

The intense pain suddenly surged up, almost causing the Black Fang assassin to faint on the spot. At the same time, a greater fear emerged in his mind:
"The intelligence... the intelligence clearly says that the target is only the priest... the priest!"

"How is it possible that a priest has such great power!!!"

The assassin's attempt to escape was blocked by someone's clamped arm, but the severe pain did not make him faint on the spot, but made his thoughts suddenly clear.

The Black Fang Assassin gritted his teeth, and immediately stabbed back with the dagger in his other hand, but the target he stabbed was not the original target, the priest, but his own half-crippled arm!

Escape with a broken arm! This is the only way the assassin can think of.

However, Luo Xiu saw through his plan and completed the prayer of "Imprisonment of Evil Temple" before the assassin took his next action.

——Swish! The fine and dense silk thread with golden light immediately bound the assassin's feet tightly, and the evil holy spear also pierced through the ground at the same time, nailing the assassin firmly to the spot.

After that, Luo Xiu flashed back and retreated to the corner of the room, while at the same time completing the preparation for another skill.

——“Eyes that Peep into the Abyss”!
After taking the target's entire body into view, a deep purple light flickered in Luo Xiu's pupils.

Luo Xiu's surging spirituality immediately enveloped the assassin, and an incomparable sense of oppression also covered him at the same time.

And the moment the "Eye of the Abyss" was activated, the assassin suddenly felt an intense fear - an unforgettable, soul-shaking fear that made him want to kneel down.

Then, the Black Fang Assassin realized that his body no longer obeyed his commands and he could no longer make any moves. His spirituality was also blocked by an unknown force and he could no longer use any extraordinary means.

Then, the assassin felt a cold, bloody blade against his throat.

"Black Fang... Heh, Black Fang."

When he had completely subdued the opponent, Luo Xiu's "Moon-Cutting Scythe" was also placed against his neck, firmly grasping his life and death in his hands.

The reason why Luo Xiu controlled the other party in such a hidden and almost silent way was because he didn't want to cause a bigger commotion in the tavern. Moreover, he also had some questions that he wanted to get answers from the other party.

"You... who else is there besides you?"

This is the question that Luo Xiu most urgently wants to know the answer to.

Because, before this Black Fang Assassin appeared, Luo Xiu's own "Silver Dial Compass" did not react at all to the approaching enemy!

This can only mean one thing - compared to the last time, the Black Fang Assassins' actions this time have become much more cautious, and the enemy who actually holds the "Silver Sundial Compass" did not personally participate in this assassination!
"Hehe...hehe..."

Black Fang, who was controlled, suddenly let out a strange and sinister sneer from under his cloak, and said in a low and intermittent voice:

"Sure enough...Sure enough, Lord Koros...you were right to ask us to be cautious...We were just testing your pawns...Death...death is not a pity..."

Controlled by both the Eye of the Abyss and the Temple of Imprisonment, the assassin's nearly frozen vocal cords struggled to make a sound:

"But... our death... can make... can make '獠首'... hehe... '獠首' understand the danger you are in. He will be watching you... in a more hidden place..."

"..."

The "Executioner" Koros actually sent out the "Fang Head"...

Luo Xiu thought about it, and he soon understood why Black Fang's operation became cautious this time.

No wonder he didn't feel any unusual movement from the "Silver Sundial Compass". In the eyes of the enemy, the threat level of him had obviously risen to the level of the true "Fourth Fate". That's why they sent out the "Fang Shou" who also had the "Fourth Fate" to assassinate him... While Luo Xiu was thinking, he remained calm and composed on the outside, and said to the Black Fang Assassin in front of him:

"…Well, thank you for telling me this."

Luo Xiu smiled and said, "But there is one thing you are wrong about."

"Your leader, the 'Fang Shou'... don't wait for him to come to me. I will go to him soon."

“W…what…?” The Black Fang Assassin was somewhat stunned, and he blurted out the question.

However, he did not hear the answer to this question.

The scarlet scythe that was against the assassin's neck suddenly chopped down the next moment. The assassin who broke into the room felt his eyes spinning, and as his consciousness quickly fell into silence, he could no longer hear any sound.

After killing the Black Fang, Luo Xiu glanced at Index who was hiding in the corner, having already taken out the "Black Thorn Blood Whip" and "Phantom Dagger", ready to find an angle to join the battle at any time.

She also had a look of surprise on her face, but it was not because of the assassin, but because of her "Lord" - she could not even see how the "Lord" subdued the enemy, and the enemy had already lost the ability to fight. Ignoring Intis's surprise, Luo Xiu walked to the door of the room, opened it, and walked out of the tavern.

……

Wolf Hunt Tavern, outskirts.

As soon as Luo Xiu and Index walked out of the tavern, they smelled a strong smell of blood.

It was coming from the three corpses in the courtyard of the tavern. They were also wearing black cloaks, but there was no longer any black fog lingering around them, blocking detection.

They were also the Black Fangs that attacked, but now they were cold corpses.

Next to these three bodies stood two burly old men.

Among them, an old man holding a huge axe was the former "Throne Knight" Isaac; the other one held two broadswords, and the panel detection showed that he was also a "Throne Knight" named Bruyer.

He was the one who lost money when playing chess with Isaac... Luo Xiu recalled, and at the same time he took a step forward and walked to the side of Isaac and Bruyère.

"Huh, it's you, you're here."

Seeing Luo Xiu coming, Isaac said "greeting" with a cold expression, which counted as a greeting.

"The group of insects came again. This time there were four of them. Bruyère and I killed three of them, and the other one slipped into the tavern during the chaos."

"..."

"That one was killed by me." Luo Xiu nodded.

"..."

"You? You killed him?"

Next to Isaac, a look of surprise flashed across the face of "Throne Knight" Bruyer.

But soon, the surprise subsided because Isaac explained to him: "There is nothing to be surprised about, Bruyère. He is an active Holy Inquisitor from the Holy See Church."

"Oh...it's the Inquisitor." Bruyer nodded, indicating that he understood.

"So, you should be the Inquisitor? Or a priest... But it doesn't matter... Do you have any idea about the continuous attacks by these Black Fangs?" asked Bruyer.

Clue? They are coming for me... Luo Xiu thought to himself, he shook his head, spread his hands and said:

"sorry, we do not have that."

"..."

"Is that so? That's all, Holy Judge."

Bruyère didn't care about Luo Xiu's negative answer, but just reminded:
"You should be careful too. They might be planning something in secret. Brother Isaac, I'm going to the Law Office to ask those brats to send someone to deal with it. You will be the one guarding these bodies for now."

"Hmph, go quickly." Isaac said in a deep voice, "Come back and continue when you're done. Don't forget, the game of chess just now is not over yet."

"..."

Bruyer didn't respond, but just shrugged his shoulders at Luo Xiu, as if silently complaining.

Then, Bruyère strode out of the tavern and his figure soon disappeared at the end of the street.

When Bruyère left, Isaac returned to the tavern.

Not long after, he brought out a small stool, placed it next to the three corpses, and sat down.

"You, thank you."

Isaac suddenly said to Luo Xiu:

"All in all, you helped me get rid of two rats... I should repay you something."

After thinking for a while, Isaac suddenly said solemnly, "I'll refund you half of your room fee later."

"..."

"Thank you for your generosity." Luo Xiu thought about it and responded to this standard answer with a smile.

Then, Isaac turned his face to the front of him and stopped staring at Luo Xiu. Luo Xiu and Intis also walked out of the tavern courtyard, and their figures disappeared at the end of the street soon after.

At this special juncture, Isaac, the former "Knight of the Throne", understood what a Holy Inquisitor would do.

If he was an ordinary customer, Isaac would have asked him not to leave the tavern, but he did not do so.

When Luo Xiu turned the corner with Index, he took out his "Silver Sundial Compass" from his bracelet and began to carefully observe the movements on it.

Sure enough, just as he guessed, the spiritual mercury needle attached to the compass was now rotating steadily in a certain direction.

The enemy's real holder of the "Silver Sundial Compass" - that is, the "Liaoshou" - should have been watching the entire battle from somewhere before.

Afterwards, after all the Black Fang "cannon fodder" he sent out died, the "Fang Chief" left and prepared to withdraw from the area.

That was the "Black Fang" that he had killed. The meaning of "testing" in his mouth...

Luo Xiu thought to himself as he quickly worked out the outline of his next plan while heading towards his predetermined destination in the distance.
