Finally, under Dumb's continuous activation of the knights, it was the man in black who couldn't take it anymore. His body seemed to be weightless as he suddenly slid forward and crashed into Dumb. Dumby let out a loud roar and slashed forward with all his might. The air around him seemed to have been sucked dry by the slash, restricting the man in black's movements and forcing him to face the enemy head-on. Dumby felt that, compared to before, the power of his slashes seemed to have increased a lot for some reason. In fact, after entering the fifth realm of the Rebirth Mantra, his Rebirth Qi had gradually become stronger, which was why his skills had improved unknowingly.

The man in black didn't panic. The short blades in his hands flickered with Cold Light. He tilted his body slightly and both blades slashed at the back of the Tian Gang Sword at the same time. Another two clangs sounded, and Dumb's full-powered attack was immediately deflected to the side. Two sharp streams of Rebirth Qi followed the sword and went straight for Dumb's hands that were holding the sword. Dumb now understood why Miao Fei's flexible sword had loosened from his hands. He quickly forced the liquid Rebirth Qi in his body to his hands, and with the constant rotation of the Rebirth Qi, he was barely able to dissolve the two sharp streams of Qi. However, his hands were already a little numb.

Although the man in black had successfully deflected Dumb's heavy sword, the weight of the Tian Gang Sword combined with Dumb's Rebirth Qi still caused him to take a step back. The man in black didn't hesitate at all. He retreated and advanced. A cold light flashed, and the two short blades slashed across his throat and chest. He attacked like lightning.

At this critical moment of life and death, Dumb's mind was abnormally clear. He forced his body to tilt to the side and exerted force with both hands, abruptly lifting the Tian Gang Sword that was stabbed into the ground. He faced the opponent's short blades. The man in black snorted and didn't fight with Dumb anymore. His body flashed, and he disappeared in front of Dumb. Dumb used the same move. Two sharp gusts of wind suddenly attacked him from behind. He was too late to block them and could only fall forward with the momentum. When his body was about to touch the ground, his left palm heavily hit the ground and his whole body borrowed the force to jump up and roll on the ground five meters away. Although his reaction was very fast, he still felt a burning pain on his back. The black-clothed man's dagger had already left two long wounds on his back. The sharp Dou Qi continued to wreak havoc in his body. Dumb's body twitched and fell to the ground, desperately using his Dou Qi to resist the Zhen Qi that entered his body.

Dumb did not even have the time to catch his breath before the sharp wind came again. He knew that he would not be able to dodge his opponent's attack. The shadow of death filled his entire body. Seeing that the black-clothed man's dagger was about to pierce Dumb's back, everyone couldn't help but cry out in alarm. However, because the black-clothed man was too fast, no one could intervene in time.

Suddenly, Dumb felt his left hand heat up. A warm flow of air instantly spread through his body. With the help of this warm flow of air, his Zhen Qi suddenly burst out and quickly forced the sharp Zhen Qi out of his body. In the eyes of others, Dumb's body suddenly shone with a white light. The black-clothed man originally wanted to use his dagger to force Dumb to admit defeat. However, seeing this scene, the black-clothed man immediately slashed with his dagger.

When the dagger and the white light on Dumb's body came into contact, it was like cutting leather. The white light was tough and full of elasticity. The light suddenly shone brightly, and the black-clothed man was shaken and flew out.

Dumb did not feel good either. Although he did not know where this warm flow came from, the white light only helped him resist a part of the black-clothed man's attack. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yanshi and Yan Li rushed out at the same time and helped Dumb up. The black-clothed man did not chase after him. He stood there calmly, panting slightly.

Dumb used the Tiangang Sword to support his body. He regulated the surging Qi and blood in his body. He forced a smile and said, "Brothers, I'm fine."

Yanshi sighed and said, "Forget it, brother. We have tried our best. The martial arts of these black-clothed men are too strong. It's not something we can handle."

Yan Li's face was solemn. He sighed and said, "Even if we attack together, we might not be able to do it. It seems that there are people better than you! The sidhe are going to be out of luck. "

Dumb suddenly shouted, "No, we can't let them take the sidhe away." He glared at the black-clothed man and said, "I haven't lost yet. Let's continue. Brothers, you go back. "

Yanshi and Yan Li looked at Dumb's determined gaze and lowered their heads in shame. Just now, they had already planned to give up. Yan Li suddenly raised his head and said, "Let's fight it out. If we attack together, we might have a chance of survival. "

Dumb shook his head and said, "No, they have more people. Let's continue the competition according to the rules. I might not lose. Brothers, step back. "After saying that, Dumb staggered towards the black-clothed man.

The black-clothed man looked at Dumb coldly. Dumb stopped when he was three meters away from her. He exerted force with one hand and stabbed the Tiangang Sword into the ground. The black-clothed man said coldly, "You're not my match. Someone else."

Dumb shook his head and said, "I don't think so." He took out the Dragon God's blood from his neck and held it in his palm. He softly chanted the incantation that Xuanyue taught him, "O great Dragon King! Please lend me your endless divine power to form an indestructible shield to protect the dignity of dragons. "After saying that, he turned around and extended his hands towards Yanshi and the rest with his back facing the black-clothed man. The white light suddenly shone brightly. The black-clothed man was shocked and took a few steps back. He did not understand why this young man in front of him had so many strange things about him.

The white light flooded towards everyone and a white shield enveloped everyone, including the elves. This spell was the strongest light element spell that Dumb could cast with the Dragon God's blood at his current stage. Among everyone, only Xuanyue knew that this spell was called Guardian of Light. It was a level-five defense spell of the light element. It could dispel all evil aura and had a very strong defense. With Dumb's magic power, it was not easy for him to cast a level-three spell. However, with the help of the Dragon God's blood, he could barely cast a level-five spell. Among everyone, only she understood what Dumb was trying to do. She murmured, "Dumb, you must be okay!" The white Guardian of Light not only protected everyone but also isolated everyone's hearing and vision. Yanshi was extremely anxious and wanted to rush out of the Guardian of Light to help Dumb, but he was stopped by Xuanyue. Xuanyue said lightly, "Don't worry, he can do it." In fact, even she did not know why she was so confident in Dumb.

When the Guardian of Light successfully protected everyone, all the bandits, including the black-clothed man who was fighting Dumb, were stunned. They did not understand why Dumb would use magic to protect others and not himself. The black-clothed man said, "What do you mean by this?" He could not help but feel a little regretful. If he had attacked when Dumb was casting the spell just now, perhaps Dumb would have fallen.

Dumb turned to face the black-clothed man with a cold look on his face. "It's nothing. I'm just afraid that the attack is too strong and will hurt my friends."

The black-clothed man was stunned. Although Dumb's performance was not weak, he was only a warrior with relatively high skills. Except for the strange white light at the end, he was much weaker than him. What kind of martial arts could he have that was so powerful? Could it be magic? No, at such a close distance, he would not give him another chance to chant the spell. Bandits had always been known as the magician killer. Their speed was the nemesis of magicians.

Just as the black-clothed man was puzzled, Dumb's right hand had already touched his chest.

The black-clothed man suddenly felt as if he was in the middle of a harsh winter and could not help but shiver. The Dumb in front of him was no longer that silly boy. His eyes were fierce, and a faint gray gas constantly surged from his body. The surroundings were filled with an evil aura. Those who were weaker among the black-clothed men had already unconsciously shivered. The seven people who came later also couldn't help but show fear in their eyes.

The evil aura was getting stronger and stronger. With Dumb as the center, it continued to spread. The black-clothed man who was fighting against Dumb arched his body. The cold feeling made him almost unable to resist. He placed his dagger in front of his chest and slightly arched his body, ready to attack under the pressure. "Wait a minute." The leader of the black-clothed men suddenly shouted. Shadows flashed, and the other six black-clothed men all floated in front of Dumb.

Dumb looked at them coldly. He did not feel the slightest bit of fear. Pure Qi continuously flowed from his right hand into the hilt of the Hell King Sword. The cold evil aura filled his body. He could now clearly feel that he could use the Hell King Sword to attack at any time. "What? You guys want to gang up on me? "

The leader of the black-clothed men emitted light blue combat qi. While resisting the evil aura in the air, he said, "Little brother, if I'm not wrong, you should be the successor of 'Hell King' right?"

Dumb nodded, but did not answer.

The black-clothed man said, "I didn't think that the assassin's union would also become so merciful. Alright, today for the sake of Hell King, we'll admit defeat. But, you still have to show us some of your skills. Otherwise, as long as we kill everyone here, I'm afraid that even 'Hell King' wouldn't know who did it. Xiao Si, go and test whether his Hell King Sword is real or not. "

A slender black-clothed man stepped forward. He held up his dagger and stared at Dumb's right hand.

Dumb said indifferently, "Once the Hell King Sword is used, no one will be left alive. You guys should know that it's not too late to leave now."

The black-clothed man called Xiao Si sneered, "'Hell King' is indeed the continent's number one assassin. But, I don't know how much of his kung fu you've learned." After saying that, his body turned into a black shadow and floated towards Dumb like lightning. Because he knew that his opponent was the successor of the most terrifying 'Hell King' in the assassin's union, he did not hold back like the previous black-clothed man. The dagger pierced through the heart and the throat, filled with an indomitable aura. These bandits were very clear that although they usually did not have any dealings with the assassin's union, the assassin's union was not something they could provoke. Only killing them to keep their mouths shut was the best solution.

Dumb's eyes became cold and he loudly chanted, "Hell King's Flash — — Heaven — — Earth — — Move — —" He finally pulled out the world's most evil — — Hell King Sword for the first time. Even he did not clearly see the appearance of the Hell King Sword. He only felt that his entire body's life force was constantly being sucked away by the dark blue dot in front of him. His True Qi was rapidly being drained away. His body flashed towards his opponent. The air seemed to be frozen by the monstrous evil energy. All of the black-clothed men lost their ability to move. The dark blue light that seemed to come from hell flashed by. Dumb appeared behind the black-clothed man. The black-clothed man's eyes were filled with disbelief. His eyes gradually turned grey and his body gradually withered. With two clanging sounds, the dagger fell to the ground. His body softly fell to the ground. His entire body had already turned into a dried up corpse.

The Hell King Sword was hidden. Although the evil energy still existed, it was not as strong as before. The skinny black-clothed man who was fighting with Dumb before cried out in grief, "Fourth Uncle." His body rushed forward and floated towards the dead black-clothed man.

The leader of the black-clothed men shouted, "Retreat!" His movement technique was much faster than the previous two black-clothed men. With a flash of black light, he had already grabbed the skinny black-clothed man's body with one hand and the dried up corpse with the other hand. Like lightning, he and the other five black-clothed men escaped into the forest.

Those black-clothed men with low cultivation were already unable to move after being invaded by the evil energy. Although they had a certain level of cultivation, the Hell King Sword's evil energy still seized their souls. Losing their souls, their bodies were constantly weakening. Although they would not turn into dried up corpses, they would definitely not be able to escape death. They would not be able to see the next day's sun.

The six black-clothed men that came later did not care about these people and quickly disappeared from Dumb's line of sight.

Right now, Dumb was also not feeling good. He was using all his strength to fight against the evil energy of the Hell King Sword. Although he only used the first form of the Hell Nine Formulas, Hell Flash, it still consumed most of his True Qi. If those black-clothed men had attacked him again, he would not have been able to stop them. Unfortunately, the name of "Hell King" was too big. In order to save their own lives, the black-clothed men chose to retreat.

After a while, Dumb finally completely suppressed the evil energy of the Hell King Sword, making it return to normal. The feeling of using the Hell King Sword just now made him feel extremely scared. He was afraid that he would become a murderous demon. Taking a deep breath, Dumb slowly raised his head and saw the elven Magician Roma's trembling body. Roma had already been awakened by the evil energy when Dumb activated the Hell King Sword's evil energy. She just happened to see this strange scene. Although she was not a high-level Magician among the elves, she had grown up in the Elven Forest, which was full of vitality. In addition, the nature magic that she practiced had a certain resistance against evil energy. Therefore, she was not completely invaded by the evil energy of the Hell King Sword like those black-clothed men. However, the scene just now, in addition to the evil energy of the Hell King Sword, was still very hard for her body to bear. In Roma's eyes, Dumb just now was like the evilest creature in the world. With just a movement of his body, he took away a life. It seemed like only a god that controlled life could do this.

When Dumb chose to use the Hell King Sword just now, he had already forgotten about Roma's existence. Now that he saw her trembling, he was immediately shocked. Circulating the little True Qi in his body, he forced himself to walk to Roma's side. Roma looked at him in fear and said with a trembling voice, "You, are you the god of death? What are you doing? "

Dumb coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not doing anything. The enemy has finally left. Are you feeling very cold right now?"

Roma nodded. The cold expression on Dumb's face when he killed them was still vivid in her mind. She was puzzled. Was this person who saved them good or bad?

Dumb squatted down and used his right hand to press on Roma's trembling shoulder. He slowly transferred the remaining True Qi in his body into her body. Although the white light was very faint, it still emitted a faint holy aura. Under the effect of the True Qi, Roma felt her body warm up and immediately felt much better. The evil energy that had invaded her body disappeared and she returned to normal.

Dumb gasped for breath. His body was already close to its limit. Holding Roma's hand, he sincerely said, "Elf … sister, can you … promise me … one thing?"

Roma was stunned and asked, "What is it?"

Dumby looked at Ruoma sincerely and said weakly, "Fairy … sis … sis, I … hope … you … don't … want … to … tell … everyone … about … how … I … killed … people … just now … that … is … my … secret …. You … don't … worry … I … don't … have … any … ill … intentions … towards … you … Fairies … Spirit Race … or … any … good … people … I … don't … want … to … kill … people … either … They … forced … me … to … do … it …"

Seeing Dumb's pleading eyes, Roma's heart softened. She knew that if it weren't for this group of outsiders who had saved them, her fate would have been the same as those missing sisters of hers, becoming slaves to humans. It was this somewhat dazed youth in front of her who had saved her. Although the scene just now had deeply affected her, the kind Roma still decided to help Dumb hide this secret. Thinking of this, Roma nodded lightly.

After receiving Roma's affirmation, Dumb's face revealed a gratified smile. His body tilted and he fainted in Roma's arms.

As Dumb fainted, his mental strength fell into a deep slumber. The Light Protection was also deactivated. The anxious crowd realized that the light screen in front of them had disappeared and immediately rushed out.

Ya Yuan flapped his wings and flew to Roma's side. Looking at Dumb who had fainted in Roma's arms, he asked in surprise, "What … what happened?"

Roma hesitated for a moment and said, "It's him. It's this human who chased those bad guys away."

Ya Yuan was shocked. He had seen the strength that the men in black had displayed. Although Dumb's strength was not weak, he was much weaker than the men in black. Before he could ask any more questions, Yanshi and the others had already run to him. Yanshi picked up Dumb's body and used his combat qi to check his meridians. Everyone gathered in a circle, waiting for Yanshi's judgment with concern.

Because Xu Anyue didn't know martial arts, she was the last to run over. She squeezed to the front and said anxiously, "Brother Yanshi, Dumb, how is Dumb?"

Yanshi let out a long breath and said, "Don't worry, brother Dumb is fine. He's just exhausted. He'll be fine after some rest."

Ya Yuan looked at Roma with a meaningful look and said, "Friends, thank you for saving us. On behalf of all the elves here, I apologize for what happened before. We were too rash. "As he spoke, he bowed to the crowd.

Moon Mark supported him and said, "Forget it, we didn't lose anything anyway. Those bandits were really hateful. Helping you is what we should do. What should we do with these corpses? "

Ya Yuan said, "Leave the corpses here. Our people will take care of them. Let's go back to the elven city as soon as possible. I want to report what happened to Her Majesty Queen Elves. "

Xu Anyue looked around and said, "Why does it seem like there are more corpses here. It couldn't be Dumb's doing, right?"

Roma nodded, "I don't know how they died. After the black-clothed men ran away, they all fell down."

Miao Fei said doubtfully, "How did Dumb suddenly become so powerful? He actually used his own strength to drive away those guys. Could it be that he's been hiding his strength all this time?"

Yanshi said impatiently, "Don't worry about that for now. Elf brothers, please lead the way. Dumb needs to find a quiet place to rest. "

At this time, a large group of elves flew over. There were more than a hundred of them. The three elves at the front exuded a strong aura. Ya Yuan was happy and said, "It's our people." He flapped his wings and flew over. He talked to the elves in the elven language.

The elves landed. The three elves at the front approached the crowd. The male elf in the middle said, "Thank you for saving our people. Elven envoy Tianying greets you." He looked to be around 30 years old. He had a resolute appearance. He also carried a short bow on his back and had a solemn expression.

Yanshi's expression changed. He carried Dumb and said, "Uncle Tianying, do you still recognize me?"

Tianying looked at Yanshi in surprise. He looked at him up and down and said with some doubt, "You're a Puyan people, right? Have we met before?"

Yanshi said with some excitement, "Uncle Tianying, 13 years ago, my father Yan Fei brought me here to see you! I'm Yanshi! "

Tianying was startled, "You, you're Yanshi. I haven't seen you for more than 10 years. Your appearance has changed a lot! "

Yan Li came over and pointed at his nose, "Uncle Tianying, I'm Yan Li!"

Tianying laughed and said, "So it's you, you naughty kid. You even took an axe to cut down my family's tree! I still remember your aggrieved face when Brother Yan Fei hit you! "

Yan Li awkwardly said, "Uncle, let's not talk about that."

Yanshi said, "Uncle Tianying, my friend is exhausted. He needs to rest. Can you take us to a place to settle down first?"

Tianying patted his chest and said, "No problem. Ya Yuan already told me what happened. Let's go now. These Thieves were simply too arrogant. This is not the first time they sneak attacked our clansmen. It seems that if we don't teach them a lesson, they will think that we elves are easy to bully. "While saying that, a cold light flashed in Tianying's eyes.

Yanshi nodded and said, "Uncle Tianying, let's go. When we reach your village, I'll tell you why we are here."

Tianying nodded and called out to the accompanying elves. They flew towards the depths of the Elven Forest.

… …

Outside the Elven Forest.

The six black-clothed men stopped in their tracks. Although they ran at full speed for a long time, they didn't have the slightest breath.

The leader of the men in black let out a long breath and said, "It should be safe. I didn't expect Hell King's disciple to appear here. "

The skinny black-clothed man who had fought with Dumby earlier looked at the dried corpse in the hands of the black-clothed leader and burst into tears. "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, you died so miserably!" His voice was no longer hoarse and deep. Instead, it was crisp and clear. He spoke in the holy language of the Holy Hall.

A sorrowful expression appeared on the faces of the men in black. The leader sighed and said, "Seventh girl, don't cry. We can only blame our bad luck for running into Hell King's disciple."

The petite black clothed person pulled down the veil on her face, revealing a moving and delicate face. It turned out to be a beautiful girl who looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old. Her big eyes were constantly flowing with tears. "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle died because of me. Originally, the one to face Hell King's Sword should be me!"

The leader sighed and said, "Child, don't cry. Protecting you is what we should do. Fourth Brother sacrificed his life for you. It can be said that he died a worthy death. "

The Seventh girl raised her head and a cold light flashed in her eyes. "Uncle, what are you saying? No one deserves to die. Do you think that I, Phoenix Slayer, am afraid of death? If that was the case, why would I train so hard for more than ten years? Don't tell me that my strength as a Transcendent was obtained under your protection? That youth might not be able to use Hell King's sword again. Why did we run? If we continued to attack, we might have succeeded! "

The leader of the men in black furrowed his brows and said, "Seventh girl, calm down. I know that you have a good relationship with Fourth Brother. However, things have already happened and we can't do anything about it. Do you think that we aren't sad? The six of us have been brothers for many years. Apart from the president, we are the only six Transcendent in the guild. You only reached this level in the past few years. We six brothers have been living together for dozens of years! We are more sad about Fourth Brother's death than you are. However, Seventh girl, you need to understand that as a first-class thief, you can't let your emotions affect your state of mind. If we didn't leave in time, the next target of Hell King's sword might have been you or me, or one of us. You're right. That youth isn't that old, so it's impossible for his skills to be that profound. Perhaps he really won't be able to use Hell King's sword again. Even if he used Hell King's sword again, he wouldn't be able to kill all of us. We would definitely have a chance to kill him. However, have you ever thought about it? If I let you do that, it's very likely that another person will die under his sword. Do you want to see such a result? The Hell King's sword is the most evil in the world. It's not something we can resist. No one can escape from Hell King's Flash. If we suffer any losses, the guild's strength will be greatly reduced. How am I going to explain this to your father when I return? Moreover, don't forget that our enemy wasn't just that youth. That was in the Elven Forest. If my guess is correct, there will definitely be a large number of elven reinforcements rushing over. Ordinary elves aren't much, but we don't have the confidence to deal with elven envoys. Child, as a thief, the most important thing is to remain calm. You must always be able to judge the situation. "

Phoenix Slayer tightly clenched his fists, and his eyes revealed a crazed hatred. He lightly nodded and said, "Uncle, I understand. However, I must take revenge for Fourth Uncle. If I had used my full strength to kill that youth at the start, he wouldn't have had the chance to use Hell King's sword. It's all my fault. It's all my fault." Two streams of tears flowed down her beautiful eyes, turning them completely red.

The black-clothed man patted Phoenix Slayer's shoulder and gently said, "Seventh Girl, all of us can see what you've done. Your diligence puts even us to shame. Ever since the establishment of the thieves' guild, you're the only one who has reached the level of an Acquirer before the age of 20. You still have a bright future ahead of you. You mustn't be blinded by hatred. You should know the strictest rules of our thieves' guild. You can't kill anyone during a mission. Could it be that you want to become an assassin? "

Phoenix Slayer lowered his head and looked at Fourth Uncle, who had turned into a mummy. He had watched her grow up, and he had taught her all of his skills without holding anything back. Her heart ached so much that she found it hard to breathe. She bit her lips and hatefully said, "Even if I have to stop being a thief in the future, I must take revenge for Fourth Uncle. Uncle, don't try to persuade me anymore. "

The black-clothed man sighed and said, "Alright, let's go back first. This is the territory of the Heaven's Yuan Race, so we must leave as soon as possible. We'll talk about everything after we return to the guild. I believe that the president will definitely seek justice from the Assassin Guild. For hundreds of years, both our guilds, which are part of the dark forces, have never interfered with each other. However, this time, they have disrupted our most important operation. No matter what, they must give us an explanation. " After he finished speaking, he observed the surroundings and pulled Phoenix Slayer, who was still unwilling to leave, toward the territory of the Yalian people.

Rock's group quickly entered the depths of the Elven Forest under the escort of the elves. The deeper they went, the taller the trees around them became. Their roots were intertwined with each other, giving them shade. Bursts of fresh air constantly filled their bodies. Since Xuanyue didn't know any martial arts, Tian Ying found a few powerful female elves to help her fly. After experiencing the feeling of floating for the first time, Xuanyue forgot everything that had just happened. She kept thinking in her heart, how good it would be if I could also fly!

The sound of flowing water suddenly traveled over, and Yan Li said to Yue Hen, who was beside him, "Ah! We're almost at the Elven Lake. That's the home of the elves, as well as their headquarters. "

Yue Hen was startled, and he asked, "There's a lake in the Elven Forest?"

Ya Yuan, who was beside them, smiled and said, "Of course! The home of the elves is on the Elven Lake! You'll understand when you see it. "

Hearing Ya Yuan's words, everyone continued forward with doubts in their hearts. They all wanted to see what the lake in the forest looked like.
