Chapter 105 Lu An Tears Off His Face!

Louis's eyes turned slightly cold as he listened to Ruan's almost threatening words.

He was still wearing the bird-beak mask, so he didn't bother to feign innocence and simply said with feigned surprise, "Mr. Lu An, we don't quite understand what you're saying."

"What? The weapons merchant you deliberately spared? What was that guy doing in the capital?"

'

While saying this, Louis was inwardly analyzing the information conveyed in the other person's words.

So Griffin didn't just happen to escape, but was deliberately let go?

It now appears that during the time Griffin transformed back into a human from a tortoise and went to the capital to deliver the message, his whereabouts were clearly being watched.

However, according to the intelligence Ruan had, he did not monitor Griffin closely, otherwise he and Nora, who had contact with Griffin, would have been exposed long ago.

As for why Griffin was spared, it was probably because Ruan was unsure of Hillen's death and hoped to use Griffin as bait.

Unfortunately, the arms merchant not only did not meet with Hiren, but also embarked on a journey to the capital to file a complaint.

However, from this perspective, the possibility of Hillen's death increases significantly.

At this moment, Ruan spoke coldly again: "Still pretending? Then I'll be more explicit—where is Hiron's body, and where is his Hero's Tome?"

""

"If you hand over these two items, I can pretend nothing happened. After all, the princess doesn't mind a few people knowing about this."

Louis seemed shocked by the astonishing news and took several steps back.

"What do you mean by that? What does 'Hero's Codex' mean?!"

"Could it be that this person named Hiron is a dead hero?"

Lu An shook his head and muttered to himself, "Still unwilling to tell the truth? Fine, after I sever all your tendons, I'll arrest you and interrogate you properly."

.

Before he could finish speaking, the level 1, level 4 assassin vanished from the spot.

Even during their conversation just now, Dina and Nora had been on high alert, staring intently at Ruan, and had lost sight of him in an instant.

A level 1, four-star assassin means that their magic adaptability, two main attributes, and four secondary attributes have all reached the limit of their class.

The assassin's main attributes are dexterity and concentration, and without a doubt, he completely overwhelmed everyone in Louis's squad in these two aspects.

The dark environment of the sewers is an assassin's closest companion.

Fighting Ruan in this environment is even more difficult.

Dana and Nora immediately shielded Merry behind them.

Immediately afterwards, Nora pulled out one fully armed zombie soldier after another from her magic pocket, using them as human shields to surround the four members of the squad.

There were a total of thirty undead soldiers, twenty of which were made from human corpses and ten were made from the corpses of demon wolves that Nora had carefully selected in the past few days.

Nora herself held a bone staff in one hand and a round eyeball in the other, using the eyeball to search for Ruan's whereabouts, but to no avail.

Clearly, Ruan's stealth capabilities have exceeded the detection capabilities of this eyeball.

Dai Na gripped her newly bought longsword tightly, cautiously observing her surroundings.

To be honest, enemies like Lu An, whom she can't see or touch, are the best counter to her. Although her powerful beam cannon is very strong, it is very likely to miss.

Not to mention, in the sewer environment, she dared not fire her light cannon at all, for fear of accidentally igniting the accumulated marsh gas, in which case they would perish together with the enemy.

Meli kept drawing runes without stopping.

The runes that enhance one's own defense, healing, and detoxification abilities, as well as the runes that attack the enemy, such as frost, lightning, and detection, are all integrated into an invisible barrier with a radius of fifty meters.

As for Louis?

He was like a true shield bearer, foolishly holding up his mercury shield and looking around.

While Louis's team was actively preparing for battle, Ruan, who had entered stealth mode, still did not appear.

It seems he ran away after making those harsh remarks.

Especially with Nora's undead soldiers already deployed, it seemed that he, an assassin, had nowhere to even set foot.

Just as the air was filled with a deathly silence, Louis suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.

The "Crisis Sense" class talent I took from Ronan, the ranger of the Silver Hunter squad, has activated!

The source of the crisis—above!

Louis instinctively wanted to raise his shield to block, but in the end he forcibly suppressed his instincts and remained in a state of complete ignorance.

Judging from the warning signals he received, this attack was not aimed at his vital points.

Just tough it out!

Louis gritted his teeth and remained motionless.

Sure enough, in the next instant, a jet-black blade pierced deeply into Louis's right shoulder, precisely severing his tendons and instantly rendering his shield-wielding right hand powerless.

The Mercury Shield slipped from his grasp and crashed to the ground like a door panel.

Louis groaned and clutched his shoulder in pain, seemingly having lost ninety percent of his fighting strength.

This scene startled Dana and Nora, who quickly turned their gazes upwards towards Louis.

Then they saw Lu An, whose presence could not be detected by any means, standing in mid-air.

Even though there was only shadow beneath his feet, he walked as if he were walking on solid ground, strolling leisurely.

"The first one."

Lu An spoke calmly.

He casually flicked the blood off his knife and said indifferently, "This knife of mine is coated with a deadly poison. Louis will die from the poison within five minutes."

"You two have a good relationship with him, don't you? I'll give you a chance. If you tell me the whereabouts of Hiron and the Hero's Codex, I'll spare your lives."

As if to corroborate Ruan's statement, Louis suddenly knelt down on one knee, the blood seeping from his shoulder already turning black.

"Don't even think about it!"

Without hesitation, Nora pulled a skeletal rifle from under her robe, aimed it the instant she drew it, and pulled the trigger.

Blue flames erupted from the muzzle, and a hard, magically imbued white bone bullet shot out, aimed directly at Ruan's head.

However, despite being only a few meters away and despite Nora's firing speed being comparable to that of a Western gunslinger, Ruan still managed to deal with the supersonic bullet with ease.

A spark grazed Lu An's blade, and two small holes appeared in the walls on either side of Lu An's back.

He cleaved the bone bullet in two with a single stroke.

Bang bang bang! A dozen or so human zombie soldiers also fired their guns at the same time, and twenty white bone bullets were fired at Lu An almost simultaneously.

However, the latter simply drew a second short sword and then swung it with a speed that would dazzle any professional.

The sounds of blades colliding with bullets were continuous, and when the sound subsided, there were exactly twenty impacts.

"Don't misunderstand, assassins do more than just assassinate."

Lu An said calmly, "Even in a direct confrontation, I could easily kill you newbies who haven't been promoted for long."
