Chapter 74 The Purpose of the Man in Black

Dio's eyes before he died were filled with fear of the man in black and excitement at becoming Viscount Noble.

There was no sadness.

He felt no grief whatsoever over the death of his biological father, Vincent.

This is undoubtedly a very sad thing for Vincent.

This is a failure as a father.

Therefore, Russell sent Dior down to Vincent, who hadn't gone far yet, to give his eldest son a good talking-to.

"Dylan Noble".

The leader of the men in black said softly, "I didn't expect you to be so strong. It seems you already possessed that treasure and the complete breathing technique."

"No wonder you refused our invitation back then. It turns out you've already been chosen by Vincent as his successor, and to this extent."

"However, you should still hand over everything; you can't keep it."

"One of the keys to the treasures of the five great families?" Russell frowned slightly, not expecting that the family heirloom had such a connection.

His soul is undergoing a transformation, and he can now barely perform some basic techniques.

The other party was a sixth-tier earth rider, but his soul was no different from that of an ordinary person, so Russell could easily eavesdrop on his thoughts.

The treasure is of great importance, and only the man in black, a sixth-tier knight, knows some of the inside details.

Even Marquis Bruce was merely an executor, not the mastermind behind it all.

Behind him might be a duke, or even His Majesty the King of Finn.

In short.

From the moment Russell acquired the identity of Dylan Noble, he was already caught in a huge vortex.

But that's about it.

The strongest in a kingdom is only an eighth-rank knight.

Russell only needs to wait a short while for the soul transformation to complete before activating the entry.

At that time, even the legendary ninth-tier cavalry will be easily controlled by Russell.

"Let's deal with Marquis Bruce first, no matter what."

Russell moved, not facing the man in black, but rushing towards his companion in the hall.

If a few knights escape, he'll be in for a real headache.

Therefore, the room should be cleared before enjoying the main course.

Russell was incredibly fast and ruthless; with each sweep of his figure, he took the life of a knight.

Whether it's the third or fourth tier, neither can stop Russell even for a moment!

A sense of dread crept over the knights.

The thought of escaping arose.

"All of you, attack! Think carefully, even if you try to escape, where can you possibly run to?"

"Mission failure means certain death!"

The man in black casually killed a rider who tried to escape, shouting, "Anyone who tries to run away, I'll kill him first!"

Hearing the man in black's words, the other knights knew they had no way out and rushed towards Russell.

"Well done." Russell nodded approvingly, then his killing speed increased, his sword flashing with a sharp wind.

"Stop running away!"

The man in black was not as fast as Russell, but thanks to the frantic delaying tactics of the other riders, he eventually reached Russell's side.

"You think I'm running away?"

Russell stopped, pulled a knight over, and made him face the knight's sword in the black-clad man's hand.

He then withdrew and continued to slaughter the other cavalry.

"If that's what you think, then so be it." Russell didn't pay much attention to the other person.

He's still busy silencing witnesses.

Half a minute later.

The last knight fell to Russell's hand.

He turned around and saw the man in black standing there with a livid face.

Knowing they couldn't capture Russell, the other side had no choice but to watch as Russell wiped out all his men.

Then wait for an opportunity to face Russell head-on.

"You must be exhausted, while I'm resting and waiting for your slaughter to end."

"Now, the advantage is in my hands!"

The man in black roared and charged at Russell, slashing down with his knight's sword.

"I've killed so many of your men, and you still haven't figured out the difference in our strength?"

Russell couldn't help but laugh as he watched the men in black rushing towards him.

"Instead of running away, they're attacking me?"

"Could it be that you think I didn't use my battle aura, but was just a sixth-tier cavalryman like you, and that I was also very tired?"

"So, there's a possibility that you could kill me?"

The man in black remained silent, only swinging his sword at Russell.

"I understand. If you run away, something far more terrifying than death awaits you."

"Attack me, and you'll have a chance of survival."

Russell extended two fingers, pinching the black-clad man's sword as it slashed down with all his might. "How ridiculous is that idea?"

"How—is this possible?" The man in black looked at Russell in shock, his mental defenses almost completely collapsing!

He caught his full-force sword strike with just two fingers.

Even a seventh-tier knight, or even that eighth-tier knight in the Kingdom of Finn, who was hailed as a pillar of the kingdom.

That shouldn't be possible either.

Moreover, the opponent didn't use any battle aura at all!

Is it possible to reach this level using only the purest physical strength?

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

The man in black stared blankly, muttering to himself, "Marquis Bruce only sent us to deal with the Noble family, to control them... There shouldn't be such a knight... Dio."

"Then get the key and let Dio continue—.-Are you human or a devil—--practicing the Noble Breathing Technique."

"Only those with the bloodline of the Noble family, combined with the battle qi cultivated through the Noble Breathing Technique, can activate the key."

"Now, besides the Noble family's key, we have obtained—…spare me—…three keys, and have control over three families."

"Only the most mysterious Hilton family remains to be found."

Russell sat in a chair, listening quietly to the information the man in black knew.

After killing Dio, when he heard about the secrets of the five great families, he put all the knights present into an illusion.

The other knights have been reduced to few by killing each other.

The man in black, while talking to himself in the illusion, kept revealing the information he knew.

Russell listened silently to the information provided by the man in black.

Only after understanding the whole story did they slightly alter the illusion's guidance towards the man in black.

What the other person will experience in the illusion depends entirely on their imagination; Russell has no idea.

But Russell can guide them and change the Men in Black's perceptions.

"Hahaha! Die!"

The man in black suddenly burst into laughter, raised the earthen sword in his hand, and slashed it across his own neck.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Russell stood up, his gaze sweeping over the surviving riders, who also sighed in relief.

"Alright, the next step is to find the Noble Breathing Technique and the family heirloom in this manor."

Russell pondered for a moment where Vincent might have hidden something, and then he had a headache.

There are quite a few targets.

I don't know if I can find it tonight.
