The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.
Chapter 545 The golden cicada escapes from its shell
The killer was so deliberate that he did not hesitate to use flying props to fly directly onto the city wall to assassinate him without alerting any guards.
The poison applied to the dagger has such a powerful effect that its value must be extraordinary.
The most important thing is that Xu Lai's usual whereabouts are either unpredictable or surrounded by a large number of guards, making it difficult to even get close.
Although it is difficult for ordinary killers to get close to the tower where Xu Lai is now, it is also not easy for Xu Lai's own support to arrive.
In addition, except today, it is difficult to have the opportunity to find so many killers to cooperate with each other.
Yes, there was more than one killer, but Xu Lai's body was covered in golden light, so no one else was in a hurry to take action again.
They also wanted to take advantage of the chaos caused by Xu Lai's attack to let the paladins relax their control over the corridors and mobilize more troops.
However, when Xu Lai was attacked, he was panicked but not confused.
Although the assassination was terrifying, Xu Lai did not encounter any danger to his life.
Moreover, after serving in the army for so long, every gain Xu Lai gained was gained by risking his own life.
Xu Lai himself can no longer remember the dangerous situations he has encountered, so even if he is suddenly attacked, he is very calm.
The Paladins are still firmly blocking all entrances and exits. As long as not all killers have the forced disappearance skill of the assassin just now, they will not be able to penetrate the bodies of the Paladins.
Correspondingly, what Xu Lai wanted to protect was actually enemies coming from the air.
Not many people have flying props like the previous assassins, but wall-climbing props are one of the standard props for members of the Dark Alliance.
However, in front of Xu Lai, Roland and other paladins, even if he is invisible, it is impossible to climb up quietly.
But to be on the safe side, Xu Lai still sprinkled some powder.
Xu Lai was very strong, but his hands were a little small, and he spread a handful of development dust far away, but the amount was a little small and the distribution was not even enough.
On the city tower that was originally empty except for one's own people, several crystal figures were scattered by the dust of development.
As the name suggests, every particle of developing dust can shine and can be seen clearly even in the daytime.
The three figures are all far away from Xu Lai, and the nearest one is about 5 or 60 meters away.
There was no way, Xu Lai was surrounded by Holy Light Knights. It was impossible for them to squeeze in around Xu Lai without alerting these knights.
Roland waved his hand, and more than ten nearby Holy Light Knights immediately rushed toward the three figures.
The invisible dust will only fluoresce when it comes into contact with the invisible unit. Otherwise, if it stays on, it will consume mana and cause chaos.
The three assassins didn't realize that they had been exposed until the Holy Light Knights pounced on them.
Originally, Roland wanted to continue to hold up the sacred armor and command the paladins to join the encirclement.
They were all stopped by Xu Lai, who only asked him to find a few Holy Light Knights to release holy healing spells for him.
Once they hold up the sacred armor one after another, these assassins are not fools. Even if someone who doesn't recognize this golden light wants to try to attack, others will not take action after trying it a few times.
Xu Lai will use himself as bait to constantly attract these assassins and try to get rid of these guys at once.
Even if you can't get it done at once, try to get a few more done so as to alleviate some trouble in the future.
He simply didn't bother to treat it for the time being, and just let the poison spread in his body for a while.
If nothing else, those assassins must have investigative skills or props.
I just don’t know their abilities and whether they can read specific numerical values. If they can only see the proportions, it may create an illusion and be misleading.
Xu Lai's current health value is 1100+. If it is less than 800 points, there will be more than 200 left, but on the health bar display, it should already be red blood.
Although it looks shaky, it actually still has nearly 300 health points, which is not much different from the health of high-level soldiers even if it does not include defense.
Of course, although 300 health points is still quite high, it has reached the red line after all, and it is still very dangerous.
But fortunately, Xu Lai has many artifacts, including a mysterious belt. As long as his health is lower than 113, it will automatically replenish his health by 374.
Therefore, it seems that the health value is already red, but in fact it takes a lot of effort to really kill Xu Lai.
And Xu Lai also has multiple protection methods such as life potion, invincible golden body, and sacred armor.
Taking away Xu Lai's life is not as easy as imagined.
It's just that those who drown are usually those who know how to swim. People who don't know how to swim usually don't dare to play in the water.
Xu Lai also possesses so many life-saving means, so when his health continues to decrease, he is still taking risks.
Not only did the assassin's poison cause him to lose blood very quickly, but as soon as the sacred armor disappeared, half of Xu Lai's body was numb and painful, and his condition was greatly reduced.
But fortunately, those three assassins who somehow managed to get through and were slowed down by the dust of manifestation were quickly caught by the Holy Light Knights.
Without a mount to travel, the heavily armored Holy Light Knight is actually not very fast.
However, the Dust of Invisibility is a magical alchemy prop, and all acceleration skills for the invisible unit that is sprinkled with it will only have the opposite effect.
Originally, sneaking increased movement speed by 50%. Now, not only can it not be increased, but it is also slowed down by another 50%.
Although the knights are bulky, they are numerous, and with the blessing of logistics and speed talents, it is not difficult to catch up with them.
Assassins' sneak attacks can target other people's weaknesses and carry out targeted attacks.
However, in a head-on battle, even if the heavily armored warrior stood still, the assassin's small dagger would not be able to penetrate the heavy armor.
There were a few bangs, and two plumes of thick smoke mixed with green poison instantly filled the city wall.
Several assassins already knew that they could not escape, but they were working together this time, so no one was sitting there waiting to die.
The three of them threw throwing props and started causing chaos.
Smoke is extremely choking. The key is that the closer you are to the center of the smoke, the more your vision will be affected.
Even Xu Lai, who had dark vision, could not penetrate very far and could only vaguely see people nearby.
Obviously, this is not an ordinary smoke bomb, but a specially made alchemical smoke bomb. The smoke is magical and has the effect of forcing interference.
The most troublesome thing is not the smoke bombs, because the smoke cannot cover the fluorescent effect on the assassins, and the Holy Light Knights can still catch them easily.
Xu Lai had no intention of keeping him alive. It was better to kill this annoying guy with endless tricks and feel at ease as soon as possible.
The most troublesome thing is the thick green poisonous smoke.
This poisonous smoke cannot make people lose their lives, but it can make people enter a dual state of slowness and weakness.
The closer to the center of the smoke, the more obvious the sluggish effect is, with the most exaggerated point being as high as 75%.
Unfortunately, the assassins were relatively far away from Xu Lai and the others, so the impact on Xu Lai and the others was not great.
However, Xu Lai was already highly poisonous, and this was the time when the poison exploded most violently. Half of his body was already hurting to the bone. Now that he smelled the poisonous smoke, he suddenly had a severe headache.
In the chaos, Xu Lai heard the faint sound of breaking through the air again.
Moreover, this time it was not just one sound, but dozens of sound breaking through the air.
Xu Lai was completely unable to speak at this time, let alone resist with a shield.
But around him were Xu Lai's recruited soldiers, including Roland, who could all be controlled by Xu Lai's spirit. Bang bang bang bang bang...
A series of dense crossbow arrows nailed the shields of the Holy Light Knights.
The few fish that slipped through the net, even if they hit Xu Lai, were all bounced away by the magical armor.
This dense burst of crossbow bolts is obviously a special crossbow tool used by the assassins. It should be some kind of mechanical repeating crossbow, which can fire dozens of crossbow bolts at once without reducing its power.
Such an attack, if used against a cloth-armored mage-priest, or a leather-armored shooter or assassin, would probably kill the opponent.
Unfortunately, the targets of these repeating crossbows were all heavily armored units.
Even if Xu Lai wasn't here and was just an ordinary knight, these crossbows wouldn't cause much damage.
Therefore, it is obvious that these crossbows are only used to attract attention. No matter how stupid these assassins are, they will not expect this continuous crossbow to kill Xu Lai.
Even Aini's temporary assassins know how to make crossbow arrows into explosive crossbow arrows with magic damage.
However, Xu Lai was confused by the poison and smoke at this time. After the poison no longer caused damage, the pain caused by it was also reduced a lot, but it still made Xu Lai's head heavy and unable to think properly.
He didn't even care where these assassins ran out from.
The only thing he could do now was to endure the pain in his body and spread out a handful of manifest dust again.
The magicians didn't give him much manifesting dust. Xu Lai estimated that he should spread it two or three times at most.
In the smoke, two more assassins appeared. It seemed that they should have climbed up along the opposite city wall.
Several paladins not far away from them drew out their swords and stabbed them without saying a word.
But at this time, Xu Lai no longer cared about the fate of the two assassins, because the real killer came from behind and killed him again.
In order to ensure a one-hit kill, this time the two of them joined forces.
First, there was a violent flash of white light, and the two killers accidentally smashed some props, instantly causing Xu Lai and others to fall into a state of complete blindness.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Lai felt numb all over his body. His whole body was instantly paralyzed, and it lasted for so long that he was completely unable to control his body.
While he was paralyzed, the same dagger from before was stabbed into Xu Lai's arm.
It turned out that Xu Lai instinctively wanted to cover his eyes with his arms after seeing the white light.
As a result, as soon as the hand was picked up, it fell into a state of paralysis, and it was just blocking the throat, preventing anyone from piercing it.
Although the weak point critical attack skill was not triggered, the sword still penetrated into Xu Lai's arm because the dagger also had 25% physical penetration.
Although the damage was not high, it caused the poison that had just disappeared and the remaining poison to take effect again.
The poison was still the same, and I don't know whether it was because Xu Lai's body had become resistant or because the assassin didn't have time to temper the poison a few times.
This time, although the poison still lasts for one minute, it only reduces health points by 20 points per second.
"Fuck, he's not dead yet?"
A lightning bolt with a strong paralysis effect, combined with a dagger tempered with giant poison.
After the two assassins sacrificed themselves to attract attention, they launched a sneak attack from behind. After successfully breaking through the defense, Xu Lai's health not only did not drop, but jumped up and returned to the yellow blood state.
After falling below 110 points, the mysterious belt was triggered. After a burst of white light, Xu Lai's health increased to nearly 500 points.
In order to prevent Xu Lai from taking medicine and causing a one-hit kill, the number one killer of the Thieves Guild specially brought a magic assassin who was good at spells.
The opponent's double lightning daggers, which can be called artifacts, as well as two paralysis rings and a paralysis collar, can 100% trigger the paralysis effect.
If it controls an ordinary person, it can paralyze them for several minutes.
Even Xu Lai, who had an amazing physique, could not move for three seconds.
It was impossible for Xu Lai to take medicine during these three seconds.
And he was worried that the paladins would help Xu Lai treat him, so he deliberately crushed a flash bomb, causing a large-scale blinding effect.
Except for group spells, any single-target spell needs to lock on the target first.
The most common locking method is naturally eye locking.
But it is a pity that as the chief assassin of the Thieves Guild, he tried to eliminate all possibilities, but still failed to kill Xu Lai instantly.
Not only did it not kill Xu Lai, but it also helped Xu Lai draw a large mouthful of blood.
Almost 500 health points were enough to last Xu Lai until the paralysis ended.
Besides, he didn't need to wait for the paralysis period to end, because he was still mentally alert.
Several nearby Holy Light Knights controlled by him collectively sacrificed their sacred armor.
Holy Armor can be released on targets within the area. If invisible, it can also directly cover nearby friendly units.
Xu Lai released several sacred armors in one breath, but he was still enveloped in them.
The invincible effect instantly dispelled the paralysis effect on him and suppressed the poison.
At this time, Xu Lai ignored the pain in his arm and directly held the assassin's arm with his backhand.
Because of the series of changes just now, the chief assassin's disappearing skill has not yet cooled down.
If your arm is held, you can't escape even if you become invisible.
What's even more frightening is that Xu Lai's power is extremely terrifying.
It was just one arm that firmly restrained him. Not even the flying equipment and his companions helped to pull it, but it didn't move at all.
"MD, I've endured this for so long."
The tall and thin man snorted coldly: "The golden cicada escapes from its shell!"
As the chief assassin of the Thieves Guild, it doesn't matter how skilled you are, the most important thing is to survive long enough.
Not only did he master the magical disappearing skill, but he also had a skill that allowed him to escape smoothly in most situations.
Jin Chan escaped from his shell, and at the cost of randomly losing three pieces of equipment on his body, he released all his imprisonment and was teleported to a random safe location.
With a click, the dagger, shoes, and the assassin's flying belt instantly shattered, but the assassin himself completely disappeared into the city.
"what……"
With a scream, the companion who flew up quickly with the help of the flying belt did not have the ability to escape from the golden cicada's shell.
After the flying belt shattered, he naturally lost the power of flying.
Unfortunately, Jin Chan couldn't take his companions with him after he escaped from his shell. The assassin, who had no ability to fly, could only scream and fell to the ground from a height of dozens of meters in mid-air.
The assassin's attack power is very high, and his agility is also very high, but his physical fitness is not very high.
Moreover, he didn't climb up the wall. His limbs were stuck in mid-air with nowhere to rely on, so he suddenly fell into a pulp. (End of chapter)
