Chapter 236: Interlocking Calculations
Ryan no longer cared about the people from the Redwood Chamber of Commerce because his situation did not allow him to be distracted at all.
The fighter sequence has speed-up skills, and the assassin sequence has just as many.
What's more, a captain of the "Black Skull" regiment like [Ghost] Qilos, the elite among the elite, possesses secret techniques that are definitely beyond the reach of ordinary extraordinary people!
When that guy found that Ryan was running away abnormally fast, he didn't waste his fighting spirit to sneak, but his light blue wind fighting spirit surged all over his body, transforming into a lifelike giant venomous snake, and surprisingly used the assassin's ultimate skill of burst speed-up [Instant Sprint].
This skill is highly recognizable, and is similar to the fighter's [Godspeed]. It will make the user's figure appear piece by piece, rushing a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, and it will be behind you in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, among high-level extraordinary people, there is rarely any martial arts crushing, and everyone has more or less mastered some high-level martial arts to save their lives. In the end, the competition is still about fighting spirit, skills, combat experience, mentality...
If Ryan tried his best to escape, there was a high probability that neither of them would be able to do anything to the other.
But now, he wanted to let others catch up with him...
…
"This burst... The third-level Agility-based Silver Potion [Nightfall Blade] is really powerful. Once it's targeted, there's really no way to escape..."
From time to time, Ryan looked back at the guy behind him whose relative speed was almost the same as his own. Although he was not surprised, his eyes were very solemn.
Guys like Qi Luo Si have committed numerous murders. The bounty order contains very detailed information , including what skills he is good at, what potions he has advanced to, and what weapons he uses...
But because he was so powerful and elusive, no bounty hunter could get his head even if they knew about it.
This was not one of those ordinary second-tier assassins he had encountered before, whom he was 100% sure of killing; but if he really had to fight this guy head-on, he would feel a lot of pressure.
He has a 60-40 chance of winning, but his tolerance for error is low; if he makes any mistake, the opponent may not give him a chance to survive.
His "60%" winning rate is based on the fact that he has complete knowledge of the enemy's intelligence, while the enemy knows nothing about him.
If there are no mistakes, 60% is 100%.
If he seizes the opportunity, he will never give the other party any chance to survive!
And after just over ten breaths, the two of them, one chasing the other, had already run several kilometers.
Even though Ryan used his [Godspeed] ability to stop and change direction several times, the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
At this moment, Ryan suddenly stopped.
This sudden action made the [Ghost] Chilos stop cautiously, and then the two of them confronted each other dozens of meters apart.
He looked at the "breathless" Ryan, thinking that the other party was exhausted and could not run anymore, and there was a hint of cat and mouse play in his eyes.
This was not because he underestimated the enemy. After all, a normal second-level extraordinary person could burst out at such a speed and run for such a long time. The consumption of fighting spirit would definitely not be increased in a short period of time. Not being able to run anymore was a "normal" behavior.
"I didn't expect that you, a second-level transcendent, are actually proficient in the fighting secret [Godspeed]... Who are you? If you have any history with my 'Black Skull Group', perhaps I will spare your life."
Chilos didn't rush to take action, but asked sinisterly.
The combat power that Ryan showed was definitely not that of an ordinary second-level warrior. Not to mention that ordinary people couldn't learn [Godspeed], even if they had the chance to learn it, the possibility of a second-level warrior learning it was extremely low.
In this situation, there is only one possibility, that is, he is an extraordinary genius cultivated by a big family.
Chilos felt that, after all, not many people knew that their "Black Skull Group" was controlled by a big shot in Omar. If they accidentally killed a young master of an acquaintance, they would be in big trouble.
A thief is always a thief. No matter how cruel they are, they are inferior to their masters.
"Humph! I am a high-ranking noble of the Omar Edward family. Why would I need a thief like you to spare my life?"
Ryan pretended to be humiliated and spoke righteously.
This family is the family of Minister Omar of Energy, definitely a descendant of the Queen. He thought that since these Phantom Thieves always trouble the "Sunflower Chamber of Commerce" with the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce", it is likely that the financial backer behind them is an old noble of the Queen's lineage.
"oh?"
After hearing this, Chilos was indeed stunned.
If he is really the eldest son of the "Edward Family", he really cannot be killed.
But how could someone from this family be together with people from the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce?
He was not stupid. He narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Which one of the Edward family are you? Take off the mask. I won't kill you. I will wait for your family to pay the ransom..."
When Ryan heard this, a slight smile appeared in his heart.
This time, the winning rate is 10% higher. Regardless of whether it is true or not, as long as the other party has the slightest concern about his identity, he will not kill him directly.
But at this time, he was not polite. He shook his wrists, grasped two muskets like magic, and fired two shots at the assassin without hesitation.
Bang! Bang!
Two crisp gunshots.
Unfortunately, the agility and reaction speed of high-level assassins have been exaggerated to the extreme. Although muskets can cause damage to them at this distance, even if the muzzle is pointed at their heads, they can easily predict and dodge in the instant you pull the trigger.
Chilos didn't even move his feet, he easily predicted the trajectory of the bullet, and then quickly dodged the bullet by turning sideways.
Seeing that his sneak attack failed, Ryan pretended to be shocked and ran away.
…
"Humph, stupid choice!"
Chilos was also enraged. Even if he was really the eldest son of the Edward family, he planned to teach the other party a lesson.
The moment Ryan turned and ran, his figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost.
Originally, the distance between them was only a few dozen meters, but in just a few breaths, it was reduced to within the attack range.
“Clatter…”
At this moment, a crisp and rapid sound of metal touching was heard.
The chain blade once again acted like a venomous snake hunting its prey, and with a whoosh, it shot out from Chilos' sleeve.
The knife accurately cut Ryan's calf while he was running, leaving a deep bloody wound.
Ryan felt the pain and rolled over, leaning his back against the sand dune with a look of fear in his eyes.
Of course, Chilos didn't notice the wound that blocked his vision. Except for a little blood, the wound had recovered as before.
If it weren't for the "Edward Family" he just mentioned, the knife would probably have gone for his back. Of course, as long as he didn't chop off his head, Ryan didn't think it made any difference.
Because this stab was intentional!
I showed weakness on purpose just now, just waiting for this moment.
He wanted to kill this guy.
But as long as his strength was exposed and Chilos was not killed, the opponent's movement speed would make it impossible for Ryan to catch up and kill him.
So, there is only one chance, and it must be foolproof.
After all, a fighter's killing moves are all close combat, so he must find an opportunity to get close to the unusually cautious assassin!
"Yo... not running away anymore?"
Chilos watched the attack work and walked over calmly, his gloomy eyes under his hood full of mockery.
After being hit by the poisonous knife, the leg was temporarily disabled and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.
But as a professional assassin, he dared not be careless and stayed at a safe distance of seven or eight meters away . He must be a very good fighter to be able to use [Godspeed], and he would not let the opponent find a chance for close combat.
"You damn thief!"
Ryan cursed angrily, showing an angry expression as if he was ready to fight to the death.
He stared coldly at the assassin not far away, slightly retracted his right arm, and made a move as if he was going to take out a rifle from his arms.
"Humph! You still don't give up!"
Chilos's sharp eyes naturally caught Ryan's little movements, and he sneered in his heart. He planned to teach this young master a lesson again.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
Ryan put his hand directly into his arms, but before the gun could escape, the chain knife stabbed at him at the same time.
Looking at the direction of the blade, it seemed that Ryan's arm was about to be cut off!
But at this moment, a scene that shocked Qi Luos appeared...
Ryan's hand had not yet reached deep into his arms when he reached for the gun, but he had already taken it out, and then he used a "flip wrist and wrap hand" move in fighting. This move usually involves grabbing the enemy's fist and locking the wrist.
Obviously, this move is aimed at the chain!
Qi Luo Si was shocked, but it was too late for him to attack with his knife.
Because the other party anticipated his own prediction.
Only then did he realize that the other party was originally coming for his chain knife and had no intention of drawing his gun!
Although the chain knife was as fast as lightning, there was also a moment of stiffness. At this time, the chain had just been straightened and was about to retract, but it was firmly grasped by Ryan.
"Haha! You are quite scheming..."
At this moment, Qi Luosi was held back by the chain knife. Although he was a little surprised, he was not worried at all. How could he just take away the poisonous chain?
What's more, I'm a third-level strength-agility assassin. In terms of strength, I'm not afraid of any second-level assassin, even a pure strength-based fighter!
It's your own fault!
In an instant, this thought flashed through Qi Luosi's mind, and he clenched his hands, preparing to forcibly retract the chain knife.
But at this moment, a huge force came from the chain, pulling him forward. Caught off guard, he lost his balance and was pulled forward.
…
"Now!"
Ryan was waiting for this opportunity. His muscles suddenly tensed like a taut bowstring, and his body shot out like an arrow.
He pulled the chain again, and his miraculous strength reduced the distance between them to three or four meters.
His current strength is not even comparable to that of a third-level pure strength extraordinary person, let alone an assassin?
Ryan seized this fleeting opportunity and rushed forward with a sudden kick.
“Bang!”
There was another explosion.
When Qi Luo Si heard the loud explosion, the expression of shock from the huge force had not yet appeared on his face, but he was horrified again in his heart: "How is it possible! His feet are not injured?"
However, no matter how surprised he was, the momentary imbalance of his body made him unable to react at all. He just watched the guy with the crow mask appear with chains one meter away.
Chilos finally realized why the two men he had sent before were killed. This "strange power" is hard to find an opponent among the second-level extraordinary people!
However, after a moment of surprise, that was all.
The reason why the third-level [Demon Hunter] is called the threshold of high-level extraordinary power is not just the gap in level, but the understanding of the use of extraordinary power is completely different.
Although Qi Luosi's body was out of control, his light blue fighting spirit suddenly surged, covering his body with a thick layer of fighting spirit gauze. Under the robe, his muscles became extremely hard because of the blessing of fighting spirit.
"Fighter? Haha!"
He sneered in his heart. If it was an assassin with a knife who had super explosive power of the same level, he would have fallen into the trap because of underestimating the enemy. Perhaps he should be cautious.
But as a fighter...
Using brute force and fists alone would not be enough to break his protective fighting spirit, and at most would only cause minor injuries to oneself.
The gap between the second-level and third-level extraordinary people cannot be made up by brute force alone!
…
In the blink of an eye, Ryan's attack had already arrived.
However, it was not a heavy punch, but a stab of the hand knife into Chilos' neck.
What Qi Luos didn't realize was that at Ryan's fingertips, in the purple raging fighting spirit that was flashing with a faint lightning light, there were dozens or even hundreds of silver needles thinner than a hair swimming around!
