Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 47 Catching a Blade Barehanded, Arrows Like Thunder and Lightning! (Please Read On!)

Levi walked towards a nearby inn after leaving the Graf mansion. As he walked, as he passed through a damp and dark alley, he vaguely sensed that someone was following him. He turned his head to look, but there was no one there.

Feeling something was amiss, he silently began practicing the Black Serpent Breathing Technique. The black serpent energy danced with the rise and fall of his heart, and wisps of black energy flowed into Li Wei's arms. If one were to lift Li Wei's clothes and arm armor, one could see that his forearms were now entwined with pitch-black energy, ferocious and terrifying, like a dense mass of black serpents.

Suddenly, he looked up sharply, and a dark shadow attacked from above. A dark blue dagger came down from above, aiming for his face. The dagger was too fast, and Li Wei only had time to block it with his arms.

With a ripping sound, first Li Wei's clothes were torn, then the iron rings on the arm armor of the chainmail he was wearing shattered and scattered all over the ground. The next moment, a sharp sound of something cutting rubber was heard.

Bang! Li Wei was thrown backward and crashed into the garbage heap behind him. Startled, the large black rats scattered and fled.

"Ouch." Li Wei didn't have time to look at the injury on his arm, because the next moment, sharp throwing knives came flying through the air.

Li Wei pushed his Frost Wolf Breathing Technique to its limit. Within the Frost Wolf Seed, streams of black energy surged into his legs. He shot out of the garbage heap like an arrow, scattering trash everywhere!

He used his palm, covered in black mist, to deflect the flying knives, making a crackling sound.

Throwing knives pierced the roads on both sides.

Zheng.

Frostmourne is drawn, a golden cross slash! Ripple power!

Frostmourne clashed with the rapier of the approaching shadowy figure!

The dark figure let out a soft groan. A sharp pain shot through his hands, which were gripping the sword. The moment the swords clashed, a strange force had flowed from the opponent's sword to his own rapier, causing it to tremble uncontrollably and tearing at his tiger's mouth. The intense pain nearly made the rapier slip from his grasp.

He immediately changed tactics, thrusting his rapier toward Li Wei's chest in a strange and cunning direction.

Li Wei finally saw the shadowy figure clearly. It was a man dressed in black leather armor and night clothes, and on his face was a bird-beak mask exactly the same as the knight who had assassinated him before!

The sound of the death bird! It's that damned organization again! They're like a persistent ghost!

There was no time to think about why this damned organization had found him again, nor to think about why he had exposed his whereabouts.

Li Wei pushed both the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique and the Black Serpent Breathing Technique to their limits, unleashing a powerful surge of white vapor that broke through the barrier of his clothing.

Looking at Baron Levi, who was almost bathed in white mist, Sir Bernard was startled. Generally speaking, knights could roughly judge a knight's level by the white mist.

The white aura emanating from Baron Levi is unlike that of a low-ranking knight; it is usually only possessed by mid-ranking knights who have cultivated for over a decade after entering the knightly realm.

But the intelligence clearly states that Baron Livy is only sixteen years old.

Holy crap! There really is a sixteen-year-old mid-level knight?

Or perhaps I've set my sights on the wrong person? Isn't this Baron Levy?

What's done is done, let's just make the best of it!

We can't worry about that now, let's take the head of the person in front of us back first!

In the blink of an eye, the Knight Bernard unleashed a barrage of rapier attacks on Li Wei, intending to tear him to pieces.

With his maxed-out basic swordsmanship, Li Wei possessed an incredibly profound foundation. His parries, taunts, and slashes were all executed flawlessly, even more perfectly than those of the experienced mid-level knight, Sir Bernard.

This made Bernard's Cavaliers increasingly nervous as the game progressed.

Li Wei was also shocked. This assassin was far superior to the previous assassin who had tried to kill him, both in terms of strength and skill.

He was like a black panther walking in the shadows, skillfully dodging Li Wei's attacks and constantly counterattacking Li Wei with even more unpredictable attacks.

In Li Wei's view, this assassin's strength was almost on par with that of the Knight Fred in his full-power state, which meant that he was a mid-level knight.

A mid-level knight is considered one of the best among knights.

After all, high-ranking knights and peak knights are relatively rare.

For most people, reaching the level of a low-ranking knight is already the end.

However, the advantages of Li Xiuwei's Black Serpent Breathing Technique, an excellent breathing technique, gradually became apparent in the battle.

Although he was only a low-ranking knight, in terms of physical ability, he was in no way weaker than a mid-ranking knight assassin; in fact, he was even stronger.

In addition, his mastery of the fourth-tier Frost Wolf Breathing Technique meant that his attack speed and evasive maneuvers were not much weaker than those of this speed-savvy assassin.

Li Wei's Golden Cross Slash prevented the assassin from unleashing his true power.

Each attack sent ripples of power through the mid-level knight, making him feel as if he were being struck from a distance, the force seemingly shattering his hands and tendons.

"Heh, die!" Li Wei sneered.

With a boom, he unleashed the full power of the Black Serpent race!

The viscous black mist covered Li Wei's palm, allowing him to grab the blade that the mid-level knight thrust at him with his bare hands.

"How dare you?!"

Knight Bernard was shocked. He hadn’t expected Levi to dare to catch a blade bare-handed. Was he out of his mind?

"Heh heh, just wait to die. My sword is coated with the deadly venom of the ring-tailed sea serpent. Even with your black aura defense, you have no chance against its sharpness!"

Sir Bernard sneered as he saw that Levi's palm was already bleeding.

This guy is doomed. Even with a knight's physique, he can't withstand the venom of the ring-tailed sea serpent, a venom that's enough to take down a bull.

Li Wei was furious and determined to find out who was behind his assassination attempt.

He grabbed the assassin's rapier and pulled hard.

The assassin had to release his hands to avoid being pulled over and stabbed to death by Li Wei.

"You're insane... insane! You've overloaded your breathing technique!" the assassin cursed. He had used every trick in the book, yet he was no match for the crazed man before him. Now that his weapon had been taken away, what chance did he have?

Immediately, he had the idea of ​​backing out.

This assassination attempt ended in failure.

So what if we fail? As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best!

He immediately rolled away, dodging Li Wei's longsword, and then actually used the wall as leverage to climb onto the roof.

This person's agility was better than his own. Li Wei quickly arrived at an open area and watched from afar as the assassin swiftly ran and jumped across the rooftops.

Li Wei rubbed the arrowhead against the surface of the rapier he had retrieved, then drew his bow and nocked an arrow. The assassin was about to leap into a dark alley and make his escape.

At this moment, Li Wei had finished charging up his power!

The arrows flew like thunder, whistling as they arrived!

The assassin cried out in pain and tumbled off the roof.
