Volume 2 Amber Chapter 95: Cheat and sneak attack
It's getting late.
The opera house had already ended, and when Chen Lun brought Floyd out of the aquarium, there were only a few guests left around.
The two of them walked along the gravel path, with the artificial trees on both sides swaying in the wind.
Chen Lun suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Floy wondered.
Chen Lun didn't say anything, but glanced around silently. The sudden sense of crisis in his heart still hadn't dissipated.
Swish——!
The next second, a hand suddenly stretched out from under his feet and grabbed his ankle.
Chen Lun had no expression on his face. He neither dodged nor avoided and stepped on the person.
BANG!!
"ah!"
A buzzing scream was heard.
The attacking hand was kicked and retracted.
Immediately afterwards, a figure emerged from the ground not far in front of Chen Lun.
He was dressed in a western suit, with a silver pot on his head and a silver cane in his hand.
It is the "gentleman" of the mysterious society.
He stamped his feet in frustration and swung his right hand repeatedly . His palm had already started to turn black, obviously because he was kicked by Chen Lun's [Scorpion Tail Needle].
“It hurts, it hurts!”
A voice came from the silver pot around the gentleman's neck.
"Mr. Spade, your extraordinary toxin is really annoying."
The black spot on his palm was spreading to his wrist. The gentleman acted decisively and used some kind of extraordinary power. His body outline began to become illusory.
Swish…
There was a strange sound of turning pages.
The figures of gentlemen appeared and disappeared one after another, like the turning pages of a book.
Finally, the illusory figure stopped and merged with his real body.
The black spot on the palm disappeared and returned to its original state.
“Phew…that was a close call!”
The gentleman made an exaggerated gesture of wiping his sweat, but in fact he just wiped the surface of the silver pot.
"【Earth Faction】【Sequence 8 - Historian】?"
Chen Lun narrowed his eyes.
The way the other party dealt with the extraordinary toxin just now was obviously a skill that only [Historian] had. By flipping through history, he found himself a few seconds ago, and then used the overlap of history to restore his state.
This is a very powerful life-saving skill, but it also has great limitations.
First of all, according to the opponent's current sequence level, he can only review his own history within ten seconds at most, and it should consume a lot of physical energy.
What he said was "good luck", I'm afraid it's true...
"how did you find me?"
Chen Lun looked at him calmly.
"Oh, of course I found it based on that piece of paper..."
The gentleman spread his hands to explain.
“It bears my historical imprint.”
He tap danced a few times on the spot, then shrugged his shoulders and chuckled twice.
"I'm just curious, why didn't Mr. Spade get drained by that cover page...? You know, I've killed several extraordinary people in this way."
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
What does the other party mean?
In the mysterious societies of the past, a gentleman would kill other members by selling the title page, then use the tricks he had prepared in advance to find the person involved and then pick up the body?
So insidious, and yet a gentleman... ugh.
It's just that the cover page absorbs that little bit of rationality, which is not enough to kill people...
"Is it because I am from the [Destiny Faction] sequence, or because of [Maggie's Tears]...?"
Chen Lun guessed secretly.
According to the description in the tooltip, the title page comes from "Philip's Adventures in Wonderland". There are only a few places where he and Philip are related, but he doesn't know the specific reasons.
In short, there seemed to be something special about me, which prevented me from being sucked to death by the title page.
"But it doesn't matter anymore. Since you've come here, even if Mr. Spade is not dead, he must die."
The gentleman said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped over and swung his cane down on his head.
Woo!!
Chen Lun gave a light push, throwing Floy away, who landed steadily outside the battle circle. He then dodged the cane and appeared beside the gentleman.
Use your five fingers to form a beak and peck at its ribs.
laugh--!
A stream of blood flew out.
The gentleman turned around as fast as he could and was almost pierced by the stork's peck, but the sharp black fingers still left a wound on his waist.
"Mr. Spade is so fast!"
There was an exclamation from the silver pot.
The cane in his hand did not stop, and as it twisted, it whipped horizontally, straight towards Chen Lun's head.
——Woo!!
The cane pierced the air, causing an explosion.
Chen Lun did not dare to underestimate this attack and decided to continue using his speed to deal with the opponent.
He took a half step back, barely avoiding the cane, and the wind from the cane lifted his black hair. The next moment, when he was about to step forward and launch a counterattack, he found that the cane suddenly became longer, and a spear tip appeared at the front, stabbing at him like a spear!
Clang—swish!
Chen Lun subconsciously released the scale armor protection, but still felt a stinging pain.
Amidst sparks, he was pushed several meters away by the cane that turned into a spear, and his legs left two long trails on the ground.
Before he had time to check his injuries, the walking stick suddenly broke apart and turned into dozens of connected spikes, lashing at him like a steel whip!
A silver light streaked across the night sky, and countless spikes reflected the moonlight, like a galaxy in the universe.
Chen Lun's rhythm was disrupted by this sudden change. He found that he had missed the opportunity to dodge and had no room to move.
He acted decisively, took out Connie No. 1 from the grape ring, and while taking a whip, threw out a high-intensity fireball.
Crack! !
boom!!
Two loud noises occurred at the same time.
Chen Lun flew backwards and rolled, spilling a string of blood. He supported himself on the ground with his palms, turned over in mid-air, and finally stood firm.
He frowned slightly, the scales on his chest and shoulders fell off, and a layer of flesh was scraped off by the opponent's strange cane, and blood was dripping.
Looking up, Chen Lun's eyes fixed.
"It was really thrilling, Mr. Spade, I almost got burned to death!"
The gentleman's cane retracted and turned into a large silver round shield at some point. The ground was on fire from the exploding sparks, but he was unharmed.
Obviously he had just used his shield to block the high-intensity fireball.
The two men exchanged several moves in a flash, and Chen Lun ended up at a disadvantage.
Floy on the side pursed her lips and clenched her hands.
"I don't want to hide behind him anymore, I want to help him..."
She whispered to herself.
There was silence for a while.
It seems like he is listening to something .
"It doesn't matter. I don't have much time anyway. Give me the power."
Floy said calmly.
A black light bloomed between her fingers, and it seemed that it would explode in the next second, but she suddenly raised her head again, and the black light dissipated.
BANG! !
There was a deafening bang.
"How can it be so fast?!"
A gentleman's shocked voice came from the silver pot.
His body suddenly leaned back and the raised silver shield was hit violently!
A dark golden figure flashed in front of him, its arms were like pythons, its fists were like cannons, and its afterimages fell on the silver shield one after another.
Every punch is a [rhino strike]!
Every palm strike is a [Bear Strike]!
A ferocious smile appeared on Chen Lun's scaly face, and his snake eyes were cold and bloodthirsty.
Big snake form!
