My Endless Life.

Chapter 14 Assassination, or Test?

Gripping the hilt of the knife tightly, Li Qi observed the seven people present.

He is analyzing.

This is the royal capital of Onoë. Apart from other things, at least in terms of public security, this place is definitely much better than other cities.

There may be hooligans and gangs as well.

But there will definitely not be so many magic users appearing at once.

Don't think that magical talent is a rare and common thing. If it were really that common, there would be more than a few people on the battlefield who could use magic.

The Principality of Uno could definitely form an army of magic users.

But unfortunately, magical talent is a very rare thing. People who possess magical talent are not only one in a thousand, but at least one in several hundred.

Such rare qualifications, and now seven people have suddenly appeared here.

At the same time, the seven men were ambushing officers of another country.

This is obviously not a coincidence.

How did they know about Li Qi's existence? How did they bribe the soldiers who were responsible for picking up Li Qi?
And why were they able to gather together under the nose of the sheriff of the royal city?
Excluding the possibility that the Wangcheng gang was too crazy to attack national officers in broad daylight, there are only two possibilities left.

One possibility is that Li Qi offended a certain noble, so they gathered killers to kill Li Qi here.

The other is testing.

This is probably a test set for Li Qi by some people.

The most likely person is a teacher at the academy where Li Qi is about to go, or he could be Li Qi's future leader.

It is also possible that there are some officials or nobles that Li Qi does not know but are interested in him and want to test his strength.

In just a short moment, Li Qi thought a lot.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the third-level magic user holding the gun, and asked in a deep voice:
"Who sent you here?"

The third-level magic user didn't say anything, he just opened his mouth towards Li Qi.

The empty mouth made Li Qi feel a chill in his heart.

This guy had his tongue cut off!
These guys are dead men!!

Did I guess wrong? This wasn't a test, but I accidentally offended someone?
Li Qi didn't think that anyone would be so extravagant as to use a death squad to "test" himself, so compared to the test, the speculation that someone wanted to kill him was closer to the truth.

The enemy revealed to Reacher the fact that they could not speak.

Then the revolver shut up.

As if sending a signal, everyone rushed forward and pounced on Li Qi.

The alley is not narrow. It is a small alley that can accommodate horse-drawn carriages, so even if it is narrow, it is not that narrow.

Therefore, this group of people surrounded Li Qi from all sides, took out their weapons, and attacked him immediately.

There were only six people who attacked Li Qi.

The sharpshooter with excellent marksmanship was still watching from a distance, staring at Li Qi coldly, as if he was staring at a prey.

Li Qi's eyes quickly swept over the six people who attacked him, injected magic power into his legs, and the magic power attached to the saber in his hand was instantly unsheathed, heading towards the person who attacked him first.

The person coming towards him was a second-level magician. He held a broken dagger in his hands. There was no magic power attached to it, so it didn't look like a magical weapon.

Not all weapons can be endowed with magic power.

Only weapons that are adaptable to magic can have magic injected into them to enhance the power of the weapons.

The saber in Li Qi's hand was specially supplied by the army and had excellent adaptability to magic, so Li Qi was able to inject magic into it.

The opponent had just an ordinary dagger in his hand.

His weapons are rubbish, his magic power is not as good as Li Qi's, and as for his skills, he is even more incomparable to a warrior like Li Qi who fights on the front line.

The fate of the second-level magician coming towards him was already determined.

But just as Li Qi was about to draw his knife to take the life of the man in front of him.

The third-level magician holding a revolver in the distance shot at Li Qi at the right moment.

boom!
Li Qi, who was always paying attention to this man, stopped and created a magic shield on his side when the other party opened fire.

The shield shattered, and the bullet deflected and hit the stone brick wall of the alley, bouncing to an unknown place.

At the same time, Li Qi had to stop his movements and could only dodge the attacks from the attacker in front of him.

"Tsk."

Taking a sidelong glance at the third-level magician standing in the distance with a pistol in his hand, Li Qi understood why he did not join the group.

He wanted to assist these people, preventing Li Qi from destroying the enemy while also providing an advantage to that group of people.

With his accurate shooting skills, he can indeed do such a thing.

Li Qi had to stop attacking and chose to dodge.

but……

He could only do this once.

Observing the man with the pistol from the corner of his eye, Li Qi's thoughts turned quickly. Taking advantage of the situation, he dodged the attack of the man with the dagger. Li Qi adjusted his position, passed the man with the dagger, and attacked the enemy with the rifle in the field.

A silver light flashed through the air, and Li Qi's blade was directly at the man's chest.

And sure enough, the revolver pulled the trigger again!

boom! !

"Ah."

But when he heard the gunshot, Li Qi smiled instead.

At the same moment as the gunshot, Li Qi tilted his head slightly, and the magic shield appeared at his side again, deflecting the bullet.

This time, however, the bullet did not ricochet off the wall.

"what!!"

A cry of pain was heard from the crowd.

The bullet that was deflected by Li Qi accurately hit the chest and abdomen of someone behind him.

The bullet pierced through the body, blood spurted out, and the man let out a scream and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

The revolver's eyes widened at the sight.

Obviously he didn't expect this to happen.

Li Qi didn't care what he thought. While the revolver was stunned, Li Qi went towards the target again.

This time, his blade successfully cut the enemy's throat.

"Keep shooting?"

Li Qi killed the two men in an instant, shook off the blood on the blade, tilted his head and smiled at the revolver.

"..."

The revolver remained silent. After all, he couldn't speak, so he could only remain silent.

But Li Qi could feel that his body temperature was rising and his body was covered in cold sweat.

After a little provocation, without expecting a response from the other party, Li Qi grinned and rushed towards the next enemy again.

And this time, Li Qi chose the gunman himself!
A revolver developed by the Principality of Uno, with a capacity of six rounds.

In other words, the mainstream revolvers in most countries in the world can hold six rounds.

The gunman had previously used four bullets to force the carriage to stop, then used one bullet to force Li Qi to stop, and used another bullet to kill one of their own.

There should be no bullets in the pistol now.

That's why Li Qicai chose the Gunners as his opponent.

As he hasn't changed the bullets yet, Li Qi will of course take advantage of his illness to kill him!

……

"Tsk tsk tsk, this little brat is amazing."

On the building above, the examiner in charge of scoring the assessment was amazed at Li Qi's performance.

Among the ten people being assessed this time, Li Qi was actually the one that most examiners were not optimistic about.

After all, his age is here.

He is thirteen years old, still a child. Even if he is very capable, how capable can he be?
Even if he had his own title on the battlefield, even if he was awarded the Order of the Unicorn.

In the eyes of most people, he still relies on his luck.

The same goes for the examiner standing here now.

But now, seeing Li Qi's performance, the examiner slightly restrained his inner contempt.

Regardless of whether his achievements on the battlefield were due to strength or luck, his current performance alone is already better than most of the examinees.

At least some of the noble children from aristocratic families are definitely no match for this kid.

"His assessment should be fine..."

The examiner circled his own assessment form to indicate that he had passed.

After confirming the passing score of the kid below, the examiner looked down again.

However, when he looked again, the examiner's eyes widened and his head tilted back suddenly.

Swish-!
A saber passed by his chin by a hair's breadth.

If the examiner had been a bit slower, his head would have been pierced by the saber!
But dodging the saber does not mean the examiner is safe.

Before the examiner could resume his movements, a figure was seen climbing up the wall from below.

It's Li Qi.

After he dealt with the ambush below, he actually found the examiner and attacked him directly!
