Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 59 Assassination
In front of the Shuojin Hotel is a clean white beach, which is also a famous tourist destination in Golden Valley. During the day, it is full of sunshine and beauties, which has become another scenery of Shuojin Hotel.
In the evening, no matter how busy he is, Luke will go out for a walk on the beach. There are fewer people on the beach at this time, and stepping on the soft sand and listening to the sea breeze is conducive to thinking.
In fact, Luke only developed this habit after coming to the Golden Valley. A regular schedule will give people a sense of control over all changes, which is conducive to the establishment of his international image. Of course, if someone wants to assassinate him, this period of time is a golden time for any assassin.
The night was completely dark, the sky was full of stars, and a full moon hung on the edge of the Milky Way. The sea in the distance was no longer visible, and the nearby waves washed the beach again and again. Luke walked alone, and the imperial spies followed him at a distance of fifteen meters, wearing windbreakers and felt hats.
Sandpaper and her sisters spread out in a circle to enclose Luke in a protective circle, while kestrels and greylag geese flew over the sea on one side with steam packs on their backs.
The protection measures seemed to be no different from usual, but everyone was informed tonight... an assassination attempt on the Prime Minister of the Empire was being carried out, and the assassins were agents of the Ice Cave of Art County and a few Shining Gold people.
Further ahead is the ambush area set up by the assassins.
Luke walked slowly at his usual pace without any hesitation, and the professionally trained spies did not show anything unusual.
When they arrived at the ambush area, a cloud of mist suddenly rose from the water and rolled towards the people on the beach.
It was exactly the same as the assassination plan submitted by Helkkin.
The mist washed up on the beach.
The imperial spies shouted: "There is something wrong. Protect the Prime Minister. Be careful of the thorns..."
The panicked imperial spies fell headfirst onto the beach after inhaling the mist. The stronger ones opened their protective shields as soon as they noticed something was wrong, then took out their magic wands and sprayed flames around themselves, using high temperatures to decompose the toxins in the mist.
The Imperial spies gathered around Luke, and people kept falling down due to poisoning on the way. When the spies cast a cyclone around Luke and isolated the poisonous fog outside the cyclone, only the five Sandpaper sisters and seven Imperial spies were left around Luke.
The spies held up the protective barrier with magic wands in their hands, while the beautiful sisters half-floated in the air with their long hair flying, diffracting their perception.
As the poisonous fog dissipated, another strange phenomenon occurred.
The tide pushing towards the beach stopped on the spot, the seagulls hunting in the sky were fixed in the air, and the tourists in the distance who had not yet left all remained motionless, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Luke, who was protected in the middle, raised his hand and looked around. The confinement of space and time made him feel like he was in sticky mud. Every movement he made had to fight against huge resistance.
At this time, a group of people formed a circle and walked out of the darkness, surrounding Luke and the people who were protecting him.
Herke Jin, Pan, and three other shining golden men wearing golden armor, led by Tan, director of the World Bank's Bad Debt Processing Office.
Facing the imprisoned Meteorite, Helkkin said nervously: "Pan! What you did makes us look very unprofessional. We should assassinate the target quickly and evacuate quickly. Talking to the target... is simply for your momentary expansion, which puts the operation on the verge of failure."
Pan said to Heerkejin confidently, "Heerkejin, don't be so nervous. This is the Golden Valley. We are with the strongest golden man, Tan, and we are in the magic spell 'The Prison of Time and Space' cast by Tan himself.
If you don't believe me, you should believe in Tan's strength."
Helkkin looked at the woman on the other side of the pan. Tan, wearing the golden armor, was even more majestic than the first time he saw her. She was like an insurmountable mountain peak. Mortals could only look up and be subdued by her overwhelming dominance.
Helkkin couldn't help but worry about Meteorite. He believed in Meteorite's wisdom, but such an absolute difference in military strength could not be made up by wisdom.
"Of course I believe in Miss Tan's ability."
Helkkin stepped back, giving Pan the chance to perform.
Pan walked forward confidently.
The meteorite had caused him so much harm, and even ruined his reputation in human civilization. If he were to die like this, it would be a lifelong regret.
This time, not only will I take Meteorite's life, but I will also let him know... I, the King of Rio, am the final winner!
"Mr. Prime Minister of Meteoric Star, you didn't expect that our next meeting would be like this."
Pan stretched out his hand to show the still scene around him, his expression and tone full of pride and the joy of having pent-up resentment dissipated.
Luke adjusted slightly to the burden that divine magic placed on him.
"I didn't expect that you still couldn't recognize the gap between you and me, and even resorted to such a shameless method as assassination . Pan, although Yin is a chess piece that can be discarded in your heart, I know that you are very important to Yin.
This is why I have given you chances again and again, but you don't seem to cherish them and insist on courting death!"
The hidden fear of the meteorite in his heart reduced Pan's momentum a lot. He looked around and maintained his magic intact.
Thinking that Tan was behind him, Pan mustered up his courage again: "Yunxing, do you think I will be afraid of you just because you are bluffing? Don't expect anyone to come to save you. The speed of time flowing inside and outside the magic is different. This ambush on you was very, very short from the outside. Your people, including Qingkong, can't react. When they arrive, they can only see your corpses."
"Such a powerful magic?" Luke praised, looking past Pan to Tan who was not far behind him. Her grey eyes were expressionless, making her look like a stone without any emotion, revealing an unyielding will. Luke continued to say to Pan: "It's a pity that you gave up Yin, which caused a lot of flaws in your character. You became indecisive, suspicious, and your obsession with power further magnified these flaws, making you now almost two different people from the former Director Pan.
I'm afraid you don't realize that you have disappointed many people who support you."
Luke's words immediately made Pan nervous: "What do you mean?"
"Isn't my meaning obvious? Pan, you are not the only choice for the Lookouts..."
As he spoke, Luke glanced at Hulkkin intentionally or unintentionally.
Helkkin's heart was pounding with shock. He was glad that he did not play fence-sitter, but reported the entire assassination plan to Meteorite.
Unexpectedly, among the three parties carrying out the assassination, two of them had people from Meteorite.
Pan is certainly not the only choice of the lookouts. He was once the prince of the Rio Kingdom, and Yin is naturally the former princess of the Rio Kingdom.
This time, Meteorite came to Golden Valley in a high-profile manner to rescue Princess Yin. Although the lookouts would not say anything grateful, they were definitely warm in their hearts. Now the lookouts are as disappointed with Pan, whose temperament has changed drastically, as they are looking forward to the gentle and kind Yin in the rumors.
Three days ago, due to the movement of the meteorite, Yin gained limited freedom.
The lookouts saw it all.
Meteorite's words at this time meant that Pan was not only disgraced, but also deserted by his friends and relatives. The secret of assassinating the Prime Minister of the Golden Shield Empire was not something that an ordinary lookout was qualified to know, and the traitor was right beside Pan.
Pan turned around and shouted to the lookouts who came with him: "Who is it! I am your king. Do you still have the oath you swore to me in your heart? Who is it! Stand out!"
Pan roared out of control, but no lookout came out. They looked at the prince to whom they had sworn allegiance in the past, with a look of strangeness in their eyes.
At this time, the fallen imperial spies around stood up and surrounded the person who carried out the assassination.
The Art County Alliance Ice Cave agents began to panic. Both the outside and the inside were filled with spies from the Golden Shield Empire, and the lookouts around them were likely to turn against them. This meant they were going to be wiped out.
The Ice Cave Agents looked towards Helkkin.
Helkkin signaled the agents to move closer to him: "We have been betrayed by our allies, prepare to break out!"
Pan was still questioning the lookouts loudly and frantically. Tan walked to Pan's side and said, "Control your emotions, Pan! Losing Yin is your biggest loss. Although Yin made a big mistake, you did not fulfill your responsibilities as a brother, which is a more serious mistake.
Leave the rest to me. Killing the meteorite will put an end to everything and usher in a new beginning."
Pan stepped aside as if he had lost his soul.
He finally understood why twins would be rejected by the Shining Gold Civilization after losing their other half. Not only could a person not form twin resonance, but also without a bond, it was like losing half of the heart.
sound……
Pan remembered that after he knew that Zhiyin was released, he couldn't help but go to see her... She cried all night.
The golden man never cries.
He lost all his weapons and knelt on the beach.
Tan didn't even look at Pan. She walked past Pan and towards Luke. Beside her, countless blade-like golden lights appeared and the golden chirping sounds were as dense as a flock of birds returning to the tide. Her eyes were fixed on Luke, and the authoritative murderous intent made her like a monarch who held the power of life and death in the world.
The pressure was like a mountain pushing forward with Tan's steps. The unmatched momentum made even the fearless Sandpaper sisters look unbearable.
"Miss Qingkong, when will you come?"
Sandpaper couldn't help but pray under his breath.
Then there was a response: "Dear girls, Miss Clear Sky is always by your side."
In the still scene around her, as the waves swayed, Qingkong stepped out from the waves. Her body movements were very fast, and she took another step and stood in front of Tan without paying attention to the distance.
Tan stopped moving forward, she looked at the elf in front of her and said: "Are you the elf Qingkong? You are the first one who can easily use space skills in my magic."
Qingkong turned sideways and raised his eyes, giving the beautiful girls a relaxing look, then turned to look at Tan and said, "This is not a compliment to me. It only shows that you are ignorant. Only people who have never seen a truly strong person would have such confidence as you."
"Strong? To me, there are not many creatures in this world who can be called strong. I hope you are one of them." Tan stretched out his hand and pulled out a golden knife as thin as a cicada's wing from the golden light in the air, and then in an instant in a golden light he was close to the clear sky.
The golden knife swept past with a sound like a bee buzzing.
After the flash of the knife, countless blades followed, trying to chop the elf in front into a pile of meat.
Qingkong did not dodge, and the Ice Crystal Wings, a product of the same level as the failed Blazing Sky Wings experiment, unfolded behind her. The Ice Crystal Wings were more in line with Qingkong's own ice attribute. When the Ice Crystal Eye opened, the reinforced Ice Crystal Wings blocked Qingkong's side and blocked all the blades that swept over.
Snow and wind blew up on the beach, and the still sea water was frozen.
The ice spread out from Qingkong's feet. She disappeared from Tan's front and reappeared beside him. She drew the Stardust Chen Zhan from the scabbard at her back, and the two swords with ice spikes crossed and cut towards Tan's side.
Tan stretched out his hand, and the swaying golden light instantly gathered into a shield. The shield blocked Qingkong's attack, and Tan raised his leg and swept Qingkong's side. Qingkong was shattered into pieces of ice chips under this heavy blow. The ice chips rolled on the ice surface, quickly gathered into Qingkong, and then pounced on Tan.
Tan didn't focus all her attention on Qingkong, who was approaching. She didn't move her body much, and she didn't even turn around. She slashed the knife behind her. With a sound of metal clashing, the second Qingkong appeared from behind Tan, blocking Tan's golden knife with both swords.
Summoning the golden shield again to block Qingkong's attack, Tan said to Qingkong behind him: "I didn't expect you to be so skilled in controlling time, but these skills of yours are extremely sharp against people weaker than you, and when you meet someone of the same level or even stronger than you, you can only pin your hopes of victory on your opponent's mistakes."
The two clear skies disappeared one by one, and the real clear sky appeared in the swing of the time frame.
“What you said seems to make sense, but at our level, isn’t it just about who makes the first mistake and who can seize the opportunity first?
Tan, your psychological warfare is useless to me.
I remind you again, you don't have much time left. From here, the outside world seems to be still, but time outside is actually flowing, just slower than inside. The Shining Gold people must have discovered the abnormality of this beach. By the time they arrive, your assassination attempt will have failed. "
After a simple fight, Qingkong could sense that Tan was much stronger than all the opponents he had encountered before. She was too steady, so steady that no one could find any flaws in her, and she brought the advantages of the Shining Gold people in close combat offense and defense to the extreme.
Therefore, Qingkong tried to find a breakthrough psychologically.
As the assassin, after Pan had wasted a lot of her time, what Tan lacked most was time. If she didn't want the assassination to fail, she had to attack with force!
Tan looked behind him and saw that the Ice Cave Agents were huddling together to protect themselves, the Lookouts had already abandoned their king, and he only had two debt collectors left.
Tan looked at Pan who was kneeling on the beach and said, "Pan, if you still want to kill Meteor, stand up and fight. Leave the elves to me, and my subordinates will tear open a breakthrough for you. Whether you can kill Meteor depends on your ability.
Open your mind, and Shadow will temporarily restore your power to the Shining Gold."
Hearing Tan's words, Pan stood up.
He turned around, looking like a walking corpse: "I have nothing to lose. You are the one who caused all this! Meteor, you are the devil who destroyed everything I have. I will kill you with my own hands!"
Pan rushed towards Luke, and as he ran, golden components appeared one by one and then nested into his body.
Luke in the protective circle chanted the ancient golden language, and the same golden components were embedded in his body one by one.
"Then let's put an end to it!"
