Chapter 159: 159 Encountering Assassination Again

In the Wushancheng Doushouchang, the audience in the stands was shouting and howling, cheering on the three brave gladiators.

But the outcome of the battle would not change because of the number of people.

The green-skinned troll belongs to a Level 3 Magical Beast; its movement speed is extremely fast, and on top of that, it should possess an Earth Attribute extraordinary ability, making it quite skilled in both defense and attack.

The key is that this guy also knows how to borrow weapons to enhance its own abilities; the Knight Commander's longsword left behind after the previous gladiator died is currently held in its hand.

As the first of the three knights was slashed into two pieces by a sword, the second knight was violently smashed against the wall, life or death unknown, and the third knight was also quickly grabbed by the throat and had his neck twisted.

That green-skinned troll sat on the ground again; the intense battle had also left it injured, and its physical energy was significantly depleted; it needed to eat to replenish its energy.

It scooped out the brain like scooping honey from a pot, the crunching sound crisp and incomparable, making one's scalp tingle.

A brief silence appeared in the Colosseum, but soon, the audience was boiling over.

While discussing the green-skinned troll's fierce fighting style, they were unwilling to accept such a result, shouting and demanding that the organizers quickly arrange for new gladiators to enter the arena to end the life of this demon.

But the organizers seemed to be just waiting for everyone's discussion and shouting, even watching as many people threw copper coins, silver coins, and even gold coins from the stands to pelt the Magic Beast on the performance stage.

And that green-skinned troll ate half of the first corpse, discarded it, and turned to the second.

"This is waiting for it to recover its physical strength!"

Luoning did not feel any excitement at all; he only felt a bit cold, which perhaps should not be the reaction he ought to have.

"You seem not very interested in the gladiator show?"

Blanche tilted her head, her large, pale purple eyes blinking; she discovered that Luoning's expression was not quite right, very solemn, and from beginning to end, he had not shown a hint of joy or any look of exclamation.

"Perhaps."

Luoning said ambiguously, "If these four Intermediate Knights were given to me, they would likely have greater use; after all, my Shanlin Town is quite short of people."

Blanche thought for a moment and expressed understanding, but she then said, "As long as you have fame and become an excellent lord, you will not lack followers; I believe that in the future, you absolutely can!"

Yes, fame.

Luoning couldn't help but think, if he really married Blanche in the future, would he then have great fame and attract many followers?

However, he knew that fame alone was not enough; he also needed to have strength to deter all followers.

If he wanted to achieve "I came, I saw, I conquered, I transformed," he must have the strength to break everything.

While thinking, the host's voice sounded again; the "halftime" was finally over.

"Since everyone wants this demon to die so much, then next, let us invite today's Advanced Gladiator!"

He paused, then pointed his finger at the West Gate, "Welcome our warrior Mondo to the arena!"

Clang, the West Gate opened again, and a burly giant standing two meters tall entered the arena.

He was not wearing armor, perhaps because his physique was too burly for such massive armor to be crafted.

As this Advanced Gladiator entered the arena, the audience stands became even crazier.

Many nobles and wealthy merchants couldn't help but throw down money, expecting this Advanced Gladiator to be able to defeat the troll.

That green-skinned troll seemed to also sense that this opponent was different from the usual, immediately dropping its food and picking up the knight's sword to stand ready.

This time, the gladiator did not rush up directly; he reached into his waist and pulled out a scroll.

Luoning's gaze tightened; it was very clear that the other party had taken out a Spell Scroll.

Can such items be used in the Colosseum?

Clearly, there was no time to ask; the gladiator opened the scroll directly and poured in Battle Qi; in an instant, white mist permeated from the scroll.

This mist expanded extremely fast, covering the performance stage in almost three to five seconds and quickly drifting toward the stands.

"What is going on?"

"How are we supposed to watch like this?"

Soon, the audience in the stands issued questions.

Whether using a Spell Scroll was against the rules or not, they didn't care; what they cared about most was that they could not miss the exciting battle process.

Even if the green-skinned troll was killed in the mist, what was the point if they couldn't see it?

"Is this the Level 3 Water Attribute Magic, Mist Condensation Technique?"

Luoning was puzzled, not understanding the intention behind doing this.

Blanche, however, shook her head, "Looking at its burst speed, it should be the stronger Level 4 Water Attribute Magic, 'Mist Explosion'."

Sss~

Just at this moment, a mass of mist suddenly rose on the stands, quickly connecting with the one on the performance stage below.

Immediately, that area became hazy, the figures of the audience were all covered by the mist, and only the cursing sounds coming from within could be heard.

Almost at the same time, a second and third mass of mist rose on the stands.

In an instant, these mist masses connected into one, covering the entire stands and the gladiator space below, shrouding everyone within it.

"Wrong!"

Luoning had already sensed the approach of danger; he immediately used Detection Wind.

In the vision of the Wind Element, he saw several figures on the left and right rushing toward the exclusive stand where they were located.

"Assassination?"

"Targeting me, or targeting Blanche?"

There was no answer, because those people had already made a plan; three of them lunged at Mixi the Knight, two lunged at Maiken, and the remaining two lunged at Luoning and Blanche respectively.

However, the assassin rushing toward Blanche was the closest.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The sound of high-speed movement drove the flow of the mist, but because the range covered by the mist was wide enough, small-scale movement would not be dispersed.

"Careful!"

Luoning stepped forward, pulled Blanche into his arms, and already had the Liuyan Sword gripped tightly in his hand.

With a sharp metallic clang, his strike blocked the sneak attack launched by the assassin against Blanche.

If the Princess were assassinated here, his Wushan Territory would definitely be in an extremely disadvantageous position, and as her escort, he would be even more unable to shirk the blame.

"You!"

Blanche looked at Luoning in surprise; she had not expected this Primary Knight beside her to react so quickly, actually helping her block a fatal assassination.

But there was no time for her to think too much, as a second assassination attempt tore through the mist, whistling over with a violent sound of breaking air.

"It's a Wind Blade!"

Luoning no longer held back his strength, his Battle Qi erupting to cover both himself and Blanche, forming a protective armor.

Blanche's heart raced, and she widened her eyes.

"Battle Qi Armor, this is the mark of an Advanced Knight!"

She stared wide-eyed at Luoning; could this young person actually be an Advanced Knight?

If she remembered correctly, Luoning was only seventeen years old this year, right?

"Good heavens, a seventeen-year-old Advanced Knight?"

She suddenly felt that her head could not quite process it.

The Wind Blade whistled over, and Luoning accurately captured its trajectory, a massive flame slash directly cutting the Wind Blade in two.

"Maiken, take care of the assassin, then go help Mixi."

In the eyes of the outside world, Mixi had the greatest strength, and therefore was the one most heavily targeted by the assassins; at this moment, she was already trapped and unable to break free.

As Luoning spoke, he held Blanche with one arm and leaped away from the spot with ease.

Magic Power and Mental Power converged on the tip of his sword, tracing the Spell Pattern of the Level 1 Wind Attribute Magic, Clear Wind Spell.

With his strength, casting Level 1 Magic was extremely rapid; in almost a single breath, the magic he had always regarded as useless finally played a role.

As the clear wind blew, the thick mist surrounding them was blown away, and the figures of those few assassins were exposed.
