The Wizard: Grinding Experience Starting with Knight Breathing Techniques 86

Chapter 0085: Lady Thorn, A Ruthless Hand Crushing Flowers! (6 Updates! Please Subscribe!)

This black-energy dagger possesses terrifying penetration power. It’s truly worthy of a Great Knight; the power of a single strike is terrifying!

Furthermore, Li Wei could see that, although Pale Shadow’s strength was inferior to Emperor’s Fist, his skill with detached black-energy daggers proved his mastery of black energy surpassed even Emperor’s Fist.

“It pierced through my Protective Seal, leather armor, dragon scale armor, and chainmail—four layers of defense! If my black energy wasn’t thick enough, I would’ve been injured.”

“In short, high returns are always accompanied by high risks.”

“Li Wei, Li Wei, you’re still not calm enough.”

Li Wei continuously reflected on his actions. He recalled the genuine bone-chilling fear he felt while climbing the iron fence—a truly unforgettable experience.

If the Spider Sense hadn’t warned him, he wouldn’t have activated the Protective Seal, his ultimate trump card.

Thankfully, the Spider Sense alerted him to the imminent danger if he hadn’t used the Protective Seal.

Indeed, the dagger was just a hair’s breadth away from piercing his flesh.

The seemingly pure white protection shattered instantly because the initial force of the dagger was too great; the Protective Seal had absorbed much of the impact.

“In that chaotic situation, I was wearing a mask, so I wasn’t too worried about being discovered. I had to use it; I couldn’t be afraid of being discovered and not use my trump card.”

Putting away the Dragon Saliva Fragrance, Li Wei went to his residence and gathered his belongings.

The skies were about to change in the Holy City of Landis, and he needed to be prepared to flee at any moment.

It was clear that the rebel army would clash with Emperor’s Fist’s forces within the city for a long time.

Outsiders like himself were easily drawn into such political and military conflicts, which would be detrimental.

“But before I leave, there are a few things I need to do. The rebel uprising also presents the best opportunity; I can’t miss this chance.”

“With Emperor’s Fist’s terrifying power, it would take me several years to kill Maka and escape using my own strength.”

“Even ordinary Great Knights are so easily defeated by an injured Emperor’s Fist—it’s terrifying.”

After packing up, Li Wei looked at the chaotic Holy City. The outer city, middle city, and inner city were all in utter disarray.

Battles and brawls were everywhere. Many gangs from the outer city, taking advantage of the rebel uprising, were even attacking the middle city.

Various figures with different motives, previously suppressed by Emperor’s Fist’s might, were all making their moves.

“Let’s check Maka’s mansion first. I need to snatch the Dragon Saliva Fragrance statue before Emperor’s Fist or the rebels seize it.”

Under the White Wolf Mask, his eyes burned brightly.

Li Wei’s figure quickly disappeared into the streets.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Holy City, in a gloomy, desolate graveyard, crows circled overhead. A pale, weak figure, spitting blood, arrived at a tomb within this graveyard. He lifted the weeds and tombstone, revealing a small hidden passage.

“Damn Emperor’s Fist! What kind of monster is that? I’ve fought White Horse Knight before, but not even he was as terrifying as Emperor’s Fist,” the Pale Shadow, wearing a ghost mask, said with a grim expression as he entered the passage.

At first, it was extremely narrow, barely allowing passage for a person, but after walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly opened up.

A gloomy underground world unfolded before him. This was the Deathbird’s Song’s base in the Holy City. Pale Shadow was severely injured and could only heal here for the time being.

Upon seeing the arrival of their superior, Pale Shadow, the assassin instructors at the base greeted him with respectful expressions.

“Sir, what happened to you?” they asked.

“It’s nothing, just a minor injury,” Pale Shadow responded coldly. “Go into the Holy City and find some high-quality healing medicines for me. I’ll rest here for a while. Remember, you absolutely cannot reveal the location of this place!”

“Yes, sir!”

These people immediately started working.

…

“Don’t kill me!”

An inner city official was fighting desperately against a black-clothed figure wearing a Deathbird mask. Around him lay the corpses of his guards.

“Hehe, sorry, we only accept money,” the black-clothed figure sneered.

She had a slender, well-proportioned figure, with well-defined muscles and a remarkably prominent chest.

She was Lady Thorn, the third-ranked top assassin of Deathbird’s Song.

She accompanied Pale Shadow to the Holy City on this mission. Pale Shadow dealt with Emperor’s Fist, while she assassinated designated officials.

“How much did the rebels pay you? I’ll give you double!”

The official said. Though he was a high-ranking knight, he was no match for Lady Thorn, a peak-level knight! Her physical prowess and combat skills far surpassed his—an old bone who had been in a high position for many years and rarely fought.

“Sorry, we are a professional team with professional ethics!”

The female assassin of Deathbird’s Song sneered and attacked the official!

“You! I’ll fight you to the death!”

The official fought back desperately, but was quickly injured by Lady Thorn. He couldn’t escape, and he couldn’t win.

Despair filled the official’s face as he prayed to the Storm Emperor to strike the assassin down with lightning.

The next moment, a long sword blocked the assassin’s attack. A figure wearing a White Wolf mask leaped from the rooftop, forcing Lady Thorn back.

“Who are you, and why are you interfering?” Lady Thorn asked.

“Deathbird’s Song?” Li Wei gazed at the woman wearing the Deathbird mask, his voice low.

“Indeed. I hope you won’t…” Lady Thorn hadn’t finished speaking when the imposing man in the White Wolf mask roared!

“Die!”

Li Wei took a step, unleashing the Golden Cross Slash!

Intermediate Ripple!

Clang! Ripples spread through the air as the cross-shaped sword light tore through the sky.

It arrived in an instant!

Lady Thorn realized the danger—this was a master.

She gritted her teeth, resisting Li Wei’s furious attack!

Crack!

After countless exchanges, her weapon shattered under the terrifying, violent Ripple power!

Lady Thorn’s hands bled, and fear gripped her heart.

The man before her fought like a madman, launching relentless attacks without giving her a moment to breathe!

She turned and leaped, attempting to escape!

Li Wei casually threw the Black Snake Dagger!

Pshh!

The dagger pierced Lady Thorn’s thigh.

A wave of excruciating pain washed over her, and she lost her footing, falling from the eaves.

Li Wei delivered a whip kick, sending the falling Lady Thorn crashing to the ground, blood spraying from her mouth!

He then stepped on Lady Thorn’s leg, crushing it. With a crack, her strong, slender legs were broken. Next, he grabbed her arm, snapping it. Lady Thorn fainted from the pain.

Li Wei stared at the terrified official, silently carrying Lady Thorn to an abandoned house. He searched her body, finding nothing of value besides standard Deathbird’s Song equipment. He hid her in a cellar, taking only the Deathbird mask.

From Tieshan’s map, Li Wei knew Deathbird’s Song had a base in the Holy City, but he didn’t know its exact location. This woman was strong, and she should know. Therefore, Li Wei decided to spare her life for now.

Emerging from the house, Li Wei found the official still there, trembling before the terrifying being who had effortlessly slaughtered a peak-level knight.

“Don’t be nervous, I’m with Emperor’s Fist. Are you alright?” Li Wei said from beneath the White Wolf Mask.
