It doesn't matter what the lord is.

The dagger is poisoned.

The next moment, the giants' pursuers had arrived, and on the silver-white plain in front of them, murderous intent gradually surfaced.

79. Two people with tacit understanding

Lid used the Black Flame Armor to burn the blood around the wound, but the poison had already begun to spread. This could only stop the damage, but could not fundamentally solve the problem. Similarly, the flow of breath would accelerate the spread of the venom, but Lid had no choice now.

The giants rushed closer and Reed could only continue running forward.

However, the once peaceful snowfield was now full of dangers. Assassins appeared one after another, attacking Lid regardless of life or death. If he wanted to get rid of the giants, he had to move forward at full speed. If he wanted to sense the assassin's position, he had to calm down and clear the mines. There was a very obvious conflict here.

The first slash of the dagger scratched his face, and the neurotoxin quickly began to paralyze his brain.

When perception becomes dull, one will inevitably become more vulnerable to injury, which is a vicious cycle with no solution.

Lide was also very clear about these, and he had a relatively clear understanding of the current situation. When the first assassin appeared, Lide knew that the Lingwu Lord had the intention to kill him. Only Lingwu had the spare power to set up a killing trap in this place, and only Lingwu's assassins could pose an effective threat to Lide.

Because these guys are the best assassins in the world, and they are elite killers who have been trained since childhood. There are some people like Xi Luo, who have been trained since birth to "take over the position of the commander-in-chief of the secret guards". They have undergone inhuman training and torture to achieve today's achievements.

Although the Ten Kings of Hell, who were more powerful than them, were not present, these people alone were already quite terrifying. This number of assassins was like a well-trained killing army. In just over two minutes, Lid had more than a dozen wounds on his body. Although Lid tried his best to avoid fatal injuries, his speed inevitably slowed down.

So the giants who had been walking around caught up with him, and a ninth-level perfect giant threw a heavy punch. Reed barely dodged it, but the ground was shattered into pieces and he was directly thrown out, rolling on the ground in a mess.

The first thing Reed did after he came to his senses was not to get up from the ground, but to slam his hand wearing the black flame armor on the ground. Black flames rose around him, and the two assassins who thought they had seized the opportunity died on the spot in the flames.

He saw it.

The giants wanted him dead, this was an order from the higher giants.

The hidden guards also wanted him dead, this was the order of the Lingwu Lord.

The common feature of the giants and the hidden guards is that they faithfully carry out the orders of their bosses, so there is no conflict between them. As long as Lid is alive, they will not care about each other. Even if the giants accidentally injure many members of the hidden guards during the attack, the hidden guards will not fight with the giants at this time.

It was impossible to expect to convince the secret guards, and those emotionless killing machines would not obey his orders.

Reed spat out a mouthful of blood, and the blood at the corner of his mouth had begun to turn slightly purple-brown.

There was no part of my internal organs that didn't hurt, and my limbs had begun to lose sensation.

He glanced at his hand. The Black Flame Armor was trembling slightly, and seemed very anxious. As long as he continued to supply power, the Black Flame Armor was far from reaching its limit, but the problem was that Lid now needed some time to detoxify and regulate his breath before he could continue to fight alongside it.

He doesn't have this time now.

Lid exhaled a breath of hot air, almost choking on his own blood, and a tired smile appeared on his face. Now he had one last resort, which was to reach the tenth level. Although he instinctively felt that he would regret making this decision in the future, he had no other choice now.

Reed raised his hand and no longer suppressed the flow of breath in his body. The black clouds above his head suddenly descended.

The wind was rising and the clouds were rolling, and lightning was faintly visible.

The sky has changed.

The giants and the hidden guards' assassins did not stop attacking at all and rushed forward. Reed also parried and retreated. His eyes were blackening. The poison was only a little away from corroding his heart. It was slowly approaching the atrium near the apex of the heart.

Elite hidden guards and groups of giants.

Numb nerves and a broken body.

Unequal power, unfair game, and unsurprising end.

The tenth level of thunder tribulation loomed, and the elite dagger of the hidden guard was near Lid's throat.

At that moment, it seemed as if the sound of an evil ghost wailing exploded between heaven and earth, and the sharp whistle pierced people's hearts!

The elite assassin of the hidden guard had no time to react at all, and his head rolled to the ground, with blood splattering three feet away.

Lid looked behind him. His vision was a little blurry, but he could still see someone walking towards him in the snow. There was a lot of ghost resentment around her body. She held a silver sword in her hand. The blade light was colder than the north wind outside the Great Wall. Just looking at it would seem that your eyes would be cut.

The white hair fluttered in the wind, and the star-like eyes looked at Lid.

A giant in the middle section of the ninth level swung his huge fist and smashed it towards her. The girl didn't even bother to look at him. She shook her wrist and the blade directly cut the giant into two pieces.

She is like a Shura from hell, and wherever she passes, the flowers of the other shore bloom slowly.

Lid wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said to her:

"I clearly told you that no matter what happens, you must not show up in public. There are so many hidden assassins here. If you let even one go, the Lingwu Lord will know you are here. Then the army will block you and you won't be able to return to the Great Wilderness Mountain."

Huang Yan was wearing the cloak that Lid gave her and whispered:

"I know, but we are brothers. My foster father said that the death of tens of millions of people is insignificant, but if you can't save your brother's life, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Reed said nothing.

He sighed, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and the chaotic aura in his body slowly stabilized.

The thunderbolt then dissipated, the dark clouds rose back into the sky, and the sky returned to normal.

With Huang Yan around, he no longer needed to mobilize all his strength and was promoted to the tenth level in a hurry.

Huang Yan didn't look at him, but stood beside him, confronting the assassins and giants, and said:

"You should detoxify first and adjust your breath. I'll help you block it for five minutes... Is that enough?"

Lid nodded and said:

"That's enough, thank you."

The two of them tacitly stopped talking, just like the day when Li De threw the wine to Huang Yan, a simple detail made both of them know that each other had a high level of cultivation. Now Li De sat on the ground and circulated his breath to force the poison out of his body, while Huang Yan shook his knife, and the evil spirit on his body expanded several times out of thin air, protecting Li De.

She raised her head and looked at the assassins and giants sweeping over.

Dagger, short knife, iron fist, trampling.

So dense that it covered the sky above.

Huang Yan clenched the knife in his hand, swung it upwards after making a knife flower, and instantly the evil ghosts screamed, and the knife light was as bright as silver. After the cold light, several silver lines emerged in the darkness, and large pieces of flesh and blood fell to the ground. The assassins and giants who had just attacked were all killed.

There was no fear in her eyes, but rather a hint of murderous intent as she stared at the enemies around her to see which of them dared to come.

80. Can you keep up with my Spidey?

Originally, Huang Yan was pure white, so dreamy and illusory that she didn't seem like a human woman.

Now that her body was stained with scarlet blood, she looked a little more human.

She has been alone since she was born, holding a knife and slashing all the way. Perhaps because of Tianyan's physique, the people she kills will turn into vengeful spirits and evil ghosts around her, thus forming a unique evil spirit. And she doesn't know who she learned her knife skills from, she can draw the blood evil around her as the knife wind. In short, the more people she kills, the stronger her power will be.

There are only a handful of people in this world who have reached the ninth level of perfection that Lide cannot see, including Lingwu Lord, Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, and Huang Yan. Although "not being able to see the realm" does not mean that they are stronger than Lide, it does mean that they are far from ordinary ninth level perfections.

The knife in Huang Yan's hand flew up and down, and the silver light splashed everywhere, blocking all the weapons that stabbed at Lid from all directions. At the same time, the lingering evil spirits roared out and swept towards the approaching giants, isolating them all from outside for a while.

It sounds absurd to describe that one person can form an army, but at this moment she can do it.

Of course, this is also based on the fact that she is physically strong. Lid dragged the giants all the way south, so he was exhausted. Huang Yan did not encounter any danger on the way north, so now she is almost in her prime. But no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to hold on for too long in this situation. As time passed, Huang Yan gradually showed signs of fatigue.

She went from standing still to dealing with all the attacks, to having to dodge some of the attacks, and then to having to take some of the attacks to buy time for Lid. When the five minutes were almost up, Huang Yan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, shook off the giant's iron fist with a knife, stepped back a few steps, let the two daggers pierce her back, turned around and chopped the fearless assassin to the ground.

Her blood mixed with the blood she was stained with and dripped onto Lid's body.

Several giants joined together to attack this side. Huang Yan swung his sword and killed one of them, severely injuring another, but the last giant seized the opportunity and hit him with an unavoidable punch. Huang Yan could only raise his sword to face the attack head-on. His feet were pounded into the frozen soil by the strong impact, and the bones in his ankles screamed.

The momentum of this punch had not yet ended, but Huang Yan had to look away from it.

She sensed that a greater danger was approaching. It was a low-level giant she had never seen before. It was also at the ninth level of perfection, but its body was more robust than that of ordinary giants. One look at it revealed that it was an extremely difficult existence.

The mount giant was also looking at her, then it raised its arm high, not intending to give Huang Yan any chance to breathe, and smashed down directly. Huang Yan's appearance disrupted its judgment of the situation, and it had to get rid of her before Lid woke up.

Huang Yan frowned, clenched his teeth, and increased the strength in his hands by another three points. He barely blocked the giant's fist, but it was too late for him to catch his breath and strike again.

The attack of the mounted giant was imminent.

At the critical moment, a black flame that appeared out of nowhere turned into the bloody mouth of a giant dragon, passing through Huang Yan and the giant mount, directly biting off the giant mount's right arm and burning it to ashes!

The mounted giant took a step back and looked behind Huang Yan with a roar.

The five-minute limit is up.

Lid spat out a mouthful of black blood, slowly opened his eyes, his face returned to its normal color, and his aura was as stable as before. He loosened his hand wearing the black flame armor and stood up. Huang Yan took a step back, and the two stood back to back in countless dangers. There were still many giants and hidden guards left, but at this moment they seemed insignificant.

"Thank you for your hard work. How is your injury?"

Reed asked, and at the same time waved his hand calmly. The black flames protected the two of them like a hurricane, interweaving and entangled with Huang Yan's murderous aura. In the end, they coexisted together without interfering with each other, resisting the danger from the outside world.

Huang Yan moved her wrist holding the knife. The blood in her palm felt sticky. She exhaled and replied:

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Lid smiled and said:

"Tell me if you can't hold on any longer. I'll buy you five minutes this time."

Huang Yan also revealed a faint smile and said softly:

"I don't need it."

After a pause, he said again:

"I'll leave the back to you."

After the words fell, both of them stopped talking and focused on dealing with the opponent in front of them.

Lid's original plan was to drag these giants to escape, reduce their numbers while running, and finally eliminate them all. This plan failed due to the disruption of the hidden guards, and after Huang Yan appeared, neither of them reactivated this plan because there was no need to run anymore.

One is the number one on the rookie list, the leader of the southern uprising army, and the son of Tianyan.

One is the Lord of Yuxi City, formerly one of the Four Young Masters of Yunyang, and the recognized king of slacking off.

Lid raised his hand and confronted the assassins' serial attacks head-on, knocking all the elite assassins who took the initiative to attack away. More than half of the assassins died in mid-air. At the same time, Huang Yan slashed with a knife, and the strong wind blew up her scarred cloak. The wind from the knife cut off the arms, chests, and necks of the three giants.

The next moment, it was Lid's turn to blast away the giants who were leading the charge. The black flame turned into a huge hand and grabbed a giant's leg, swinging it across a group of low-level giants, and finally swung it violently, letting it hit the one-armed mount giant like a cannonball, knocking the mount giant back three steps. Huang Yan swung his knife, and the murderous aura spread like a tide towards the hidden guard assassin, leaving only bones wherever he passed.

There is only one thing to do, which is to block the endless attacks in front of you and prevent them from hurting the people behind you.

Li De blocked countless sword attacks for Huang Yan, and Huang Yan did not miss a single attack from Li De.

Finally, the wind and snow stopped, and corpses were everywhere.

The giant mount had Huang Yan's knife stuck in his neck, but he actually died from having his heart shattered by Lid.

Neither the Hidden Guards nor the Giants escaped in the end. All the elite assassins sent by the Hidden Guards died at the hands of the two men, and the Giants ended with the fall of their mounts. Except for the two people present, no one would remember what happened here, and even the piles of corpses would soon be covered with ice and snow.

Huang Yan staggered a few steps. She was injured a lot, and her blood stained her white clothes with many bright red flowers. Once she relaxed, she immediately became unstable. Her arm was on Lid's neck, and all her weight was pressed on him.

Reed supported her and also steadied his breathing.

81. The fate imposed on me

After the temperature slowly dropped, Reed regained consciousness.

His head had been feeling dizzy during the period of poisoning. The first thing he did after being detoxified was to concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of him. Only now did he have time to think about the current situation.

As he thought about this, Reid's gaze couldn't help but fall on Huang Yan.

Huang Yan had just fought a hearty battle, and there were beads of sweat on her face. Her skin was a little rosier than usual, and there were still unmelted snowflakes on her hair. She seemed to be in a good mood, probably because she arrived at the right time and helped Lid resolve the crisis at that time. She didn't know that Lid had kept a backup plan.

Fighting side by side with Lid was also a very happy thing. She had been alone since she was born. When she grew up, she wielded a knife and fought in the world. Gradually, she had many followers behind her, but the front was still dark. But when the two of them were leaning against each other, Huang Yan suddenly felt that this world was not just bitter and cold.

This reminded her of her adoptive father.

The last time Huang Yan felt warm was when her adoptive father was still alive. At that time, her adoptive father would touch her head and tell her about his travels. There was a small pot in front of the two of them, in which the game she hunted was cooked. There was no salt or spices, so it was not delicious. Huang Yan still remembers the fishy smell of the bloody meat after it was boiled, but she would always eat half of the pot unconsciously while listening to her adoptive father's stories.

Huang Yan was recalling his adoptive father, and Lid was thinking about other things.

From the higher giants, Reed heard about the necessary conditions for resurrecting the giants - blood sacrifice, and the "key" to awaken the Pillar of Eternal Life, Clenus.

The so-called key is the powerful resentment and hatred towards the old gods.

At that moment, the words of the little slime came to mind.

——"Beji... As the name suggests, the Son of Heaven's Dislike is a child that the old gods don't like. In fact, it is a child that is not tolerated by the way of heaven. People with tragic life experiences or who have suffered injustice have resentment towards the gods. After these resentments accumulate over time, they turn into human forms and are born through the mother's womb. They are the so-called Son of Heaven's Dislike."

The hatred towards the old gods and the resistance to the injustice of nature are all vividly reflected in Huang Yan.

She is the key needed to resurrect Clenus!

But is it really such a coincidence? Why would Huang Yan appear in this place? Why at this time?

Reed closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then he remembered what Huang Yan had said when they were in the hotel.

——"My foster father used his own life to change my fate. Going north to Lingwu and the giants is my only way to survive. I don't want to die, I want to live, I want to fight with the way of heaven... so I came here."

It's very simple, because someone told her that only by going to the giants can she have a chance to escape her fate.
