The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"Hey, if you don't want this girl to die, put down the knife in your hand!"

Ye Xiao turned around and saw a cloaked man shrouded in shadows strangling Gratia's neck with his skinny hands, and in his other hand holding a short blade that seemed to be wrapped in tree bark against the girl's face.

The face of the cloaked man was hidden in the black mist and could not be seen clearly. The dark magic as thick as water on the corner of his clothes dripped into the shadow below him.

"Oh wow, save me." the little maid shouted.

"Keep this for a while, don't kill it." After Ye Xiao gave this instruction, he turned his gaze back to the magician in front of him.

"Hmm!" Gratia puffed her lips and whispered, "What a boring man."

"Can't you hear me?" The shadow killer was very angry after being ignored. He turned and looked at the girl in his hand fiercely, "Your companion doesn't seem to care about your death. It seems that I have to use your blood to remind him!"

As he finished speaking, he suddenly felt as if his hands had lost all feeling. He looked again and found that his arms had melted into dazzling gold at some point, turning into boiling liquid and mixing with the shadow like a pool of water beneath him.

"What..." The killer, who thought it was an illusion, only then realized the severe pain coming from all over his body and wailed miserably, "Ah!!!"

"Fuck." Ye Xiao walked over with the mage dripping blood under his robe, looking at the killer's limbs melted to the ground, and couldn't help but be a little shocked. "To be honest, this is already considered a lynching, which is a bit inhumane, Lady Gratia."

The little maid frowned slightly, and kicked the killer who was still gasping for breath on the ground with a little disgust, "It's so dirty, touch me."

Ye Xiao subconsciously looked at his stained hands and swallowed.

Chapter 76: Broken Ring

I can only say that if you haven’t seen this little maid show off her power, you would almost forget that this guy is a fighter among the bad guys.

You have to be more respectful in the future and don't be fooled by that cute appearance.

Ye Xiao helped the killer who was still wailing on the ground with some fear, and cast a silencing spell on him with his staff to prevent him from making any more noise.

"Are you OK?"

Ye Xiao also asked the little girl next to her if she was okay. The little girl looked at her empty hands, pouted and shook her head.

"Hey, hey, why don't you ask me!" said Gretia dissatisfiedly.

"If I could make you get into trouble, I would have died a long time ago." Ye Xiao was shocked, "Hey, hey, hey, don't hit me at every turn, ah! Hey!"

The little maid snorted, "What should we do next? I'm afraid there are other killers. Do you want to run away with these two?"

"Not really. I called someone to help."

"Ah? When did you call?" There was a hint of confusion on Gretia's cute face.

"You don't know this." Ye Xiao curled his lips.

As he finished speaking, a luxuriously decorated carriage jingled and stopped at the entrance of the alley.

The door of the carriage opened, and a girl with long gray-blonde hair wearing a brown windbreaker jumped out of the carriage and greeted Ye Xiao, "Mr. Ye, long time no see."

"Excuse me, Miss Marilyn." Ye Xiao motioned the little girl to get in the car first, and then suddenly felt a pain in his waist, "Ah! What's wrong, maid?"

"You're not handsome, so how come you know so many pretty girls?" Gretia said angrily.

"Can you blame me for this?" Ye Xiao's scalp tingled, "You don't know how to appreciate my charm."

"Hello, I'm Marilyn!" Marilyn greeted Gretia politely when she saw her.

"Hello, little cutie, I'm Gratia." The little maid smiled, "You're quite polite, not as annoying as Ye."

"What the hell, I'm well-educated, okay!?"

"Go on!" The small figure of Gratia pushed Ye Xiao onto the carriage.

Of course, it wasn't that Ye Xiao wanted to show off how many girls he knew that he asked Marilyn to come over. It was just that Ella was dealing with the issue of the second prince's death with Lilia and they were unable to spare time. So after much thought, he thought that Marilyn in the private mansion could be called over for help using the text message crystal.

As for Li Cheng and the others, they were each busy with other tasks in a corner of the imperial city. Ye Xiao didn't want to delay the progress of other tasks of the entire guild because of his own emergency.

After all, because of this incident, the scattered guild tasks that should have been done by Ye Xiaolai were delayed.

The coachman drove the carriage away, and at the same time, Ye Xiao found that something in his body seemed to be trembling slightly.

He took the thing out from the lining of his clothes. It was the note from the bottle that he had put into his pocket at the Five Fingers Tavern.

Originally, it contained the contact information of the Storm Harbor Fingerless Organization. Now, new words appeared on the back:

"Shake them off and take the girl to the largest Romani settlement outside the city, the Astrology House."

A new task panel pops up on the system:

[Triggered mission: Broken Ring-Virgo]

[Mission briefing: A girl is being hunted down, and your charity has made you the prey of the assassin guild. Even so, will you choose to help her? ]

[Task Difficulty: Normal]

[Task Reward: Gold Coins*2, General Points*200]

Although the difficulty is only normal, the reward is too meager.

The corner of Ye Xiao's mouth twitched, and he didn't know whether the difficulty and reward were lowered because of Gretia beside him.

Although this little maid was very brave, Ye Xiao didn't have the courage to give her orders. If she just stood there lazily and watched the show, Ye Xiao wouldn't dare to say anything.

And to some extent, this sister might be happy to watch Ye Xiao die and then take his soul to hell.

Of course, if that really happened, Gratia would only catch nothing. He estimated that he was dead and had no soul. At most, three boxes would explode to give the demon a surprise.

Ugh, what was I thinking.

Ye Xiao patted his head to bring his thoughts back to normal.

In the spacious carriage, Gratia was leaning on the seat, looking up and down at the somewhat nervous Marilyn.

Regardless of the two girls interacting freely there, Ye Xiao first opened the small window in the front of the carriage, preparing to inform the driver to change the route and go out of the city.

Before he could finish his words, he caught sight of a horse-drawn carriage running in the same lane and slowly approaching.

The coachman of the carriage was wrapped in a traveling cloak, and only half of his unshaven face could be seen. The window of the carriage was slowly opening a crack.

That arrives so fast.

Ye Xiao looked at the lattice window behind him again. Several carriages were following behind him on the street, getting closer and closer.

So he quickly patted Marilyn and asked, "Miss Marilyn, do you have a driver's license?"

"Do you mean driving a carriage? I know a little bit about that, what's the matter, Mr. Ye?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you a little bit... to change your form."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiao suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a confused coachman in a tuxedo sitting in the carriage, staring at Marilyn in confusion.

Ye Xiao used miracle magic to exchange positions with the coachman, then got on the horse's back and pointed his staff at the carriage of another carriage side by side.

The window of the carriage was completely open, and a figure in a black robe holding a crossbow slightly poked his head out. Then, he saw a scarlet fireball growing bigger and bigger in his field of vision.

With a deafening "boom", the wooden carriage turned into fireworks and rolled on the road, dragging the leading horse in front of it.

The followers behind immediately realized that something was wrong, and people holding crossbows leaned out from the carriages.

Their carriages had guardrail platforms at the rear for crossbowmen to stand on, and the extended metal frames were obviously prepared for protection during carriage street fighting.

A shower of arrows hit the carriage like rain, and the series of hitting sounds scared the little girl in the car so much that she squatted down with her head in her hands.

Ye Xiao immediately put his face close to the small window at the front of the carriage and shouted, "It's your turn! Disapparate!"

Then Marilyn found herself suddenly sitting on the back of a galloping horse, her gray-blond ponytail messed up by the wind, "Ehhhh!?"

Ye Xiao moved into the carriage and threw his staff directly out of the side window. The solid wooden stick flew out of nowhere and hit the face of a driver at the back accurately with the wind.

The next second, Ye Xiao appeared out of nowhere, stepped on the driver's face, jumped high in the horrified eyes of the crossbowman at the back of the carriage, stepped on the roof of the carriage, swung the long sword in his hand in a semicircle, and took off the crossbowman's head with one blow.

The swordsman who suddenly appeared in his own caravan attracted the crossbowmen on the carriages to turn their arrows around and shoot a volley of arrows. The figure that suddenly appeared disappeared into the air like a ghost.

Chapter 77: Assassins Clash

The crossbowmen on the speeding carriage could not catch sight of the elusive figure at all. The staff that shuttled back and forth in the air was like the scythe of the god of death. Only when the tip of the staff appeared could they see the black-clad swordsman flash by, and then the head rolled down and blood splattered.

The four pursuing carriages were chopped down by Ye Xiao in just a few breaths, but these low-ranking crossbowmen were just low-level mercenaries of the Finger Cutter. If this killer guild really valued the life of the little girl, then the character that Ye Xiao needed to deal with seriously would probably appear soon.

As if responding to Ye Xiao's thoughts, Ye Xiao, who was half-crouching on the roof of the galloping carriage, soon saw a tall and thin figure standing with one foot on the clothesline that crossed the street not far away. He was also dressed in a hood covering his face and a high collar, but the belt around his waist that tied his outer coat had a circle of dark gold buckles.

"Ms. Marilyn!" Ye Xiao shouted into the wind, "The one ahead is a bit difficult, you better be careful!"

As for Gretia in the carriage, there should be no need to remind her, but Ye Xiao is not sure whether the maid cares about the life and death of the little girl and the coachman, so he will still be more careful.

"Ah... OK!" Marilyn tried hard to control the galloping horse with her small body. As a former evil god hunter of the Full Moon Cult, her skills were naturally not bad.

This is also the reason why Ye Xiao wanted to replace her with the coachman, who was an ordinary person, at the beginning.

"Hu——" Ye Xiao took a deep breath, and at the moment when the carriage was about to pass under the rope, he threw the staff in his hand fiercely towards the figure standing above.

Apparition!

Ye Xiao instantly appeared at the location of the staff and slashed with the long sword in his hand, but he could only reach a black afterimage.

The newly appeared finger-severing killer was like a black snake clinging to the air, and he transformed into a long and thin curve and drilled straight towards Marilyn who was driving the carriage.

Marilyn reacted very quickly. She immediately pulled out the revolver from her waist and fired a shot.

The killer's ghostly figure suddenly moved in mid-air, and the flying sparks only shattered the flowerpot on the window behind him.

A magic wand immediately appeared on the killer's shoulder, and the next second Ye Xiao arrived in an instant and chopped the killer's dagger that was blocking his chest with a knife.

The fierce force of the long sword sent the killer's body flying, but at the moment he fell to the edge of the carriage, a thin steel cable shot out from his sleeve and nailed to the carriage.

The killer used the rope to pull his body around in the air, making a semi-arc and then jumped back onto the roof.

Ye Xiao was quick-witted and swung his staff. Two wind blades shot out and cut the thin rope used for traction. The killer also reacted at the same time and raised his other hand to shoot out a pointed steel rope straight towards Ye Xiao's face.

Ye Xiao hurriedly raised his knife to block, but the steel cable changed its angle in an instant under the control of the opponent's magic power, and refracted towards Ye Xiao's chest along the blade.

Fortunately, Ye Xiao's reflexes, which had been through many battles, caught on to this fatal move in an instant. He dodged the reversing cable by turning sideways, and the sharp spike with magic power only left a white scratch on the inner armor of his chest.

But the spike immediately pierced into the wooden board on the roof, and the steel cable on it instantly pulled the killer back in the air from several bodies away. Ye Xiao, who had not yet exhausted his strength, was hit hard in the abdomen by the other party's brutal kick.

The sudden impact caused Ye Xiao to fall from the narrow roof of the carriage. Fortunately, before his body fell to the ground, Ye Xiao had gritted his teeth and threw his staff into the air.

At the moment when the back of his head was about to touch the ground, Ye Xiao used space magic to move his body back into the air. However, his habit of using the magic wand to move many times had obviously been noticed by the killer on the opposite side. The moment Ye Xiao appeared at the position of the magic wand, three darts with the sound of breaking through the air had locked Ye Xiao's body.

One for the face, one for the chest, and one for the lower abdomen.

With his extreme reaction, Ye Xiao used his backhand to hold the knife to block the dart aimed at his lower abdomen. At the same time, he used his right arm to protect his left chest to block another dart, and then he opened his mouth to bite the dart that hit his face at the critical moment.

In a flash, the staff in his left hand was thrown out again, drawing a banana arc and landing at the rear of the carriage.

Ye Xiao instantly transferred his body to the rear of the carriage and stabbed a knife into the upper edge of the carriage roof to suddenly fix his floating figure. The angle at which he was hanging close to the rear of the car was just enough for the roof to block the assassin's sight, making it impossible for him to predict Ye Xiao's position with darts at this moment.

This swift and dangerous confrontation left Ye Xiao slightly injured. The elite assassins of the Finger Severance were all renowned assassination masters. If it weren't for his combat experience that far exceeded his current attributes, Ye Xiao would have probably died several times in the previous fight.

His proficiency in the main spatial spell, Teleport, was not high enough, so creatures with conscious resistance could be easily immune to it. Otherwise, when he fell off the car just now, he would have simply switched places with the killer and there would have been less trouble.

While thinking, Ye Xiao bit the conical dart in his mouth and threw it upwards, then quietly turned the dart in his mouth so that the tip of the dart was facing outwards, and then held his breath and listened to the faint footsteps on the roof of the carriage in the wind.

The other party was obviously also very cautious. He would never act rashly without his sight, but just approached slowly and vigilantly.

Just as the killer approached the rear of the car, Ye Xiao suddenly threw the staff in his hand into the air.

Seeing the staff thrown into the air, the killer raised his hand and shot out two cold rays of light heading straight for the staff, but Ye Xiao, who was expected to move in an instant, did not appear. He quickly lowered his head, only to see Ye Xiao, who was hanging upside down from the tail holding the handle of the knife, and kicked him across the knee.

The killer reacted very quickly. He bent his knees and fell down, and threw another dart at Ye Xiao.

But the dart missed, and Ye Xiao disappeared again.

The killer who was lying on the roof of the car lost his balance and looked up at the sky. Sure enough, Ye Xiao, holding a magic wand in both hands, suddenly smashed down.

The killer turned over and avoided the fierce blow from the solid staff. He stood up gracefully, holding the dagger with agility, and in an instant he got close to Ye Xiao who had thrown away the knife and stabbed him in the lower abdomen.

Ye Xiao missed the attack and bent down to stab the killer with a brick. He held the staff in both hands and stabbed at the killer like a spear.

The killer took half a step away and dodged to the side. While dodging the staff, the dagger moved in an arc and hooked towards Ye Xiao's throat as he lowered his head.

As if he had expected this, Ye Xiao immediately threw away his staff and stepped forward. He turned his head to avoid the dagger and revealed the dart in his mouth.

The killer immediately realized the problem but had no time to retract his arm, and Ye Xiao, who was in his arms, bit the dart and stabbed it into his shoulder.

This was the result of him twisting his upper body in a hurry. Otherwise, Ye Xiao's dart would have pierced his chest.

The killer, feeling the pain, immediately pulled Ye Xiao's arm inside. It was impossible for Ye Xiao, who was so close with empty hands, to avoid the dagger in his hand.

But the next second Ye Xiao disappeared again, using the magic wand he had just thrown to distance himself from the killer.

Even though he knew that Ye Xiao could use his staff to teleport, it was still difficult to take this factor into account every time he made movements and judgments in close combat that relied on combat experience and muscle reflexes.
