This assassin is upright

Chapter 238 Joint Surprise (asking for monthly ticket!)
Hidden outside the boundary.

"Next, you will face me!"

Facing Xue Jiajia who was standing there, Lu Wen slowly closed his eyes.

The invisible force field instantly spread out in all directions with him as the center, suppressing all fluctuations around him.

[Silent Swordmaster] exclusive skill, [All is Silence]!
The next moment, he stepped forward, holding two swords tightly in his hands.

"Chong-"

Accompanied by the exciting sound of metal clashing, the long sword and the dagger in Xue Jiajia's hand instantly touched each other.

Lu Wen only felt a terrible force transmitted to his own sword through the dagger in Xue Jiajia's hand. His body suddenly flew backwards, and after turning half a circle gracefully in the air, he hooked his toes.

A faint light flowed at the tips of his feet.

That was the secret treasure [Thread of Nothingness] that Yu Zhun had laid before entering the hidden world. These invisible threads were extremely clear in front of Lu Wen's perception skill [Mind Field] that had been upgraded to the max level.

With this hook, Lu Wen used his extremely enhanced melee ability to adjust his body position at an incredible angle in the air, and rushed towards Xue Jiajia like a rubber band that was stretched and contracted.

Xue Jiajia snorted lightly and was about to take action, but she saw Lu Wen suddenly disappear from her sight.

This is…

Her pupils shrank slightly, and Xue Jiajia turned around abruptly, only to see a flash of sword light blooming behind her, rapidly enlarging in her field of vision.

At the same time, Lu Wen’s calm voice also echoed.

"Sword Saint Skill Five..."

"The Sword Sighs, The Swallow Returns!"

The next moment, there was a sound of a weapon piercing into a body.

"Pfft-"

Lu Wen and Xue Jiajia froze at the same time.

The swords and daggers of the two men pierced each other one after another, and blood-red words appeared above their heads at the same time.

Lu Wen's health bar was emptied instantly, [Resurrection Scam] was triggered, and his health was restored to full while he entered a blood lock state. Xue Jiajia's health was reduced by about 10%, and was restored to full the next moment.

Looking at Lu Wen who was once again locked in blood, Xue Jiajia puffed her cheeks in dissatisfaction, "You scared me."

"He sounds so cool, I thought he was so awesome."

Lu Wen: “…”

Damn it, why is it that every time I come up with a cool sword move, it always fails in a different way!!!
In an instant, the effects of Lu Wen's equipment were fully activated, and the two swords in his hands cut through the sky and swept towards Xue Jiajia.

Today, he must kill this woman!

"Ping ping ping -"

Amid the fierce clash of weapons, Xue Jiajia remained extremely calm.

Even though her speed and agility were suppressed by the opponent, she also had her own means to improve her attributes. Even when facing Lu Wen's double swords at full strength, her counterattack was still extremely fierce.

"boom--"

With a dull thud, Lu Wen flew backwards again under her sudden attack.

"You have entered the blood lock state, do you want to continue?"

Xue Jiajia pointed the dagger at Lu Wen with a hint of hostility in her eyes.

She was not complacent about the victory in the battle, because she knew clearly that the guy in front of her was just a helper thrown out by the guy named Yu Zhun to delay time.

The opponent's hiding method seems to be able to make others out of the combat range, and also out of the effect of his own talent.

At this moment, the remaining few people must have recovered to their peak, and are just waiting to replace Lu Wen and take turns fighting with him.

Do you want to exhaust your strength through round-robin battles?

Xue Jiajia's eyes flashed.

This was indeed the first time she encountered such an opponent, but that didn't mean she had no countermeasures.

The health lock will only last for five seconds, and the opponent will probably send the next person to replace Lu Wen.

As long as we can use some means to prevent Lu Wen from leaving...

Then Lu Wen will definitely die!
Thinking of this, Xue Jiajia continued to attack Lu Wen while silently counting the time in her mind.

Three seconds…four seconds…five seconds!
The moment Xue Jiajia estimated that Lu Wen was about to end the blood lock, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

Time to get started!
-
"Lu Wen was beaten so badly."

In the hidden world, Yu Zhun and the other three watched the flickering candlelight in the dark space with great interest.

Under his control, the candlelight had turned into a curtain of light, allowing the four people present to clearly see the entire process of Lu Wen being beaten.

"Speaking of which..." Hermod looked at Yu Zhun standing beside him, "Lu Wen has been knocked out of health. Are we just going to stand by and watch?"

Although Yu Zhu's [Resurrection Scam] has a blood lock of up to 75s, it is not a permanent blood lock after all. If they don't appear, looking at the current situation, Lu Wen will probably be beaten until the blood lock is over.

"How could that be?" Yu Zhun smiled. "We have to take action, but we have to catch her off guard."

As he spoke, he pointed at Xue Jiajia on the screen and said, "With her attributes completely suppressed and unable to use her professional talents, it would be difficult for the four of us to clear her health bar even if we attack together."

"It's almost impossible to eliminate her using normal methods."

"So, we have to prepare a little surprise for her."

"What do you want to do?" Udyr became curious.

Yu Zhun said nothing, but just pointed to another object in the picture.

It was a stone statue holding a long sword.

[Desolate Ruins], guarding stone statue.

The moment they saw the stone statue, surprise appeared in the eyes of Hermod and the others.

"If we can teleport her away, that would be a solution." Hermod stroked his chin, looking thoughtful, "But this method seems to only treat the symptoms and not the root cause?"

"Let's keep going. Sooner or later, we'll run into her again."

"No, there is a way to cure the root cause." Yu Zhun smiled mysteriously and took out an item that he had opened from the treasure chest before.

When they saw this prop, the other three people's expressions suddenly became excited.

Seeing that the other three no longer questioned, Yu Zhun looked at the scene on the field and said with a smile, "Xue Jiajia didn't know that Yu Zhu's resurrection skill has a 75s blood lock, so she should have mistakenly thought that Lu Wen's blood lock is 5s."

"And just now, I have already demonstrated the power of [Hidden World Candle Flame]. As long as she is not stupid, she will definitely think that we have to fight in a round-robin manner."

"So, she will definitely make a move when Lu Wen's health is locked for five seconds, trying to prevent Lu Wen from entering the hidden world."

"Then..." Yu Zhun laughed oddly, "She will find out that Lu Wen's blood lock lasts longer than five seconds."

"At that moment, she must have been surprised."

"And that's the best time for us to take action." Yu Zhun looked at the other three people behind him, "Later we..."
-
Hidden outside the boundary.

As the fifth second of blood lock arrived, Xue Jiajia's figure suddenly jumped up, ignoring the criss-crossing [Lines of Nothingness] around her, and appeared in front of Lu Wen in a flash.

A streak of light silver appeared in her hand, and if you look closely, you can see that the light seems to be in the shape of a cube.

Her speed increased to the extreme, and without waiting for Lu Wen to react, she had already pressed the light silver cube into the void.

"Om-"

Accompanied by a low hum in the void, the light silver block swelled up in the wind, instantly covering Lu Wen's entire body, forming a cage.

"Hmm?" Lu Wen raised his eyebrows and drew his sword in an instant, trying to break the light silver cage. However, when the sword blade touched the edge of the cage, it was like touching air, and it went straight through without any feedback.

Unreal?
Lu Wen didn't believe that Xue Jiajia would do useless work. After thinking for a moment, he used the displacement skill.

His figure flashed, but his body did not move at all and remained in the same place.

Noticing this, Lu Wen's expression darkened slightly.

"One-time item [Space Ban]."

Looking at Lu Wen's shocked expression, Xue Jiajia slowly said, "The target is prohibited from moving or leaving the combat range."

"A round-robin battle doesn't work for me."

After saying this, Xue Jiajia stabbed Lu Wen with the dagger in her hand.

The light silver cage did not prevent the two people inside and outside the cage from fighting with each other. It simply restricted Lu Wen's movement and departure.

But Lu Wen was already at an absolute disadvantage when facing Xue Jiajia. After just a few rounds, Xue Jiajia's dagger had passed through the gap between the two long swords and quickly approached Lu Wen's chest.

"it's over!"

Xue Jiajia growled and without hesitation pierced Lu Wen's chest with the dagger, while looking up at the blood bar above Lu Wen's head.

The blood lock is over, after this attack...

【Life-0】

Looking at the words that popped up above Lu Wen's head, Xue Jiajia was slightly stunned.

what's the situation?
When the talent is invalidated, the blood lock state should only last for five seconds.

Why would…

Before she could figure this out, a dark door quietly appeared behind Xue Jiajia.

Yu Zhun, Udyr and Hermod rushed out of the portal at the same time.

Each of them has a resurrection mark on their head!
Yu Zhu, who was unable to use any skills in front of Xue Jiajia, did not leave the hidden world, but her participation rate was 100%!

Xue Jiajia's pupils shrank and she turned her head abruptly to look behind her. The attacks that were ready to be launched were rapidly enlarging in her field of vision.

Lu Wen had already broken free from Xue Jiajia's dagger. He smiled and hugged her tightly from behind, "Don't move!"

Cross-server team formation is also team formation, and damage immunity does exist within the team.

"boom!!!"

Accompanied by a loud roar, Xue Jiajia's figure was swallowed by the rising column of light and the arrows that swept like a rain curtain.

When everything was cleared, Xue Jiajia's health in the smoke and dust had been reduced to about 60%.

Yu Zhun and his companions could not help but be amazed by this scene.

It's not just a simple level attribute crushing, Xue Jiajia's own attributes are quite outrageous. Perhaps there is some special blessing, so that while she has super high attack, her defense is also not low.

Even if they played all their cards, they were unable to drain too much of the opponent's health. Instead, a random attack from the opponent would be enough to restore that little health.

It was really difficult for Yu Zhun and his companions to work together to eliminate it.

On the other side, Xue Jiajia, who was bearing the joint attack from everyone, looked a little more embarrassed.

Her eyes turned red and she puffed her cheeks in grievance, but her own voice became more and more terrifying.

"You guys...are really going too far!"

The moment he finished speaking, Xue Jiajia had already arrived in front of Yu Zhun, and the dagger in her hand popped out, about to pierce Yu Zhun's chest.

She could see that the biggest threat to her right now was Yu Zhun's endless tricks. As long as she dealt with Yu Zhun first, it would become easier to gradually deal with the other three.

Although Lu Wen had just demonstrated the ability to lock health for more than five seconds, Xue Jiajia still did not associate it with a resurrection skill.

In her opinion, this should be Lu Wen's hidden professional characteristic.

As for hidden professions, they vary from person to person. Yu Zhun and others should not have similar abilities, and can only lock blood for five seconds.

So as long as we defeat Yu Zhun first...

"boom--"

A flash of blood shot out, and Xue Jiajia's body suddenly stiffened and she looked at Yu Zhun in front of her.

One of the daggers in the opponent's hand had been put back into the scabbard at his waist, and was replaced by a gray revolver.

The copy item [Withered Revolver] is sure to hit the target, adding 10% of the target's withered power erosion rate.

Without any hesitation, Yu Zhun fired the first shot and then the second and third shots, until all the bullets were used up.

Throwing away the empty [Withered Revolver], Yu Zhun pulled out the second dagger and rushed towards Xue Jiajia.

The 30% erosion degree of the power of withering will bring Xue Jiajia an irremovable 30% reduction in all attributes!
What the opponent was proud of was his own attributes, but now, Yu Zhun's attack directly reduced Xue Jiajia's attributes by 30%!

And that's not all!

Yu Zhun dodged Xue Jiajia's angry attack with a move, and when he raised his hand, a bottle of purple liquid appeared in his hand as if by magic.

With a slight pressure of his fingers, a pump of liquid turned into fine mist droplets and sprayed towards Xue Jiajia.

Secret treasure [Mood Perfume·Confusion].

Any life that smells the scent of this secret treasure will fall into confusion for a short time, and the duration of the effect depends on its strength.

Xue Jiajia was caught off guard and was sprayed with [Emotional Perfume·Confusion]. The coldness in her eyes quickly turned into confusion, as if she had instantly transformed from a murderous assassin into a clear-headed but stupid college student.

But the next moment, there was a look of struggle in her eyes. Obviously, with her strength, it would not take long for her to get out of the confusion.

But this moment is enough.

Almost the next moment after putting away the secret treasure, Yu Zhun carefully took out a brand new prop.

It is a prop that looks like a flashlight with gray energy surging on its surface, but it has another name.

A one-time copy item, [Flashlight of Misfortune].

Players illuminated by the flashlight will be plagued by misfortune during the dungeon stage. The higher the degree of erosion by the power of withering, the stronger the misfortune.

And now, Yu Zhun aimed it at Xue Jiajia without hesitation, who had not yet completely recovered from her confused state.

"Snapped!"

As the flashlight was turned on, a beam of grayish-white light instantly shone on Xue Jiajia's body. In just a moment, Xue Jiajia's entire body seemed to turn grayish-white, and an aura of misfortune surged around her.

[Unfortunate Flashlight] turned into ashes in Yu Zhun's hands, and this disposable copy item was completely unusable.

Before Xue Jiajia could make any resistance, Udyr quietly appeared beside her.

It is a very dangerous move for an archer to approach an assassin, but Udyr did not hesitate at this moment.

Because she is a [Fairy Archer], the most flexible first-level archer profession!
The longbow in her hand flashed with light and smashed down towards Xue Jiajia!
[Fairy Archer] exclusive skill, [Counterattack]!
Use the bow to directly collide with the weapon, forcibly knocking back the target 10m!

And the direction in which she pushed back was just enough to push Xue Jiajia from the back of the guarding stone statue to the front of the guarding stone statue!

"boom--"

With a loud roar, Xue Jiajia flew backwards.

When she came to the front of the guarding stone statue, unfortunately, it took effect.

The guarding stone statue opened its cold eyes and saw her!
