Chapter 97

"clatter!"

This is the sound caused by the toes of the incoming evil guests falling from the sky.

They jumped from the top of the building, and as soon as they landed, they immediately flew out and rushed in the direction of Li Ge.

The magic power fluctuated slightly on these people's bodies, and they pulled out sharp swords one after another, with clear targets pointed at Li Ge.

Li Ge, who was being held by Ian, looked up and immediately saw faces wearing half masks.

The attacking killers were wearing cloaks and iron masks with only their noses and mouths exposed. Their eyes were staring directly at Li Ge, full of murderous intent.

Under such circumstances, Ian would naturally not allow them to come closer.

"Aha!"

Ian put Li Ge down and let him stand still. He suddenly appeared in front of the enemy, as if shrinking to an inch, and let out a sweet scream.

The long sword was swung out by him, bringing with it a concussive wave of magic power and slashing past the killer who was rushing forward.

"Qiang!"

The killer raised the sword in his hand in a hurry and blocked it. As a result, he was cut away along with the person, causing a loud metal collision.

"Qiang!" "Qiang!" "Qiang!".

Ian then dodged and swung his sword at extremely high speeds, killing off the killers one by one, with great strength.

On the other side, Ain also swung his sword, bringing up the roaring wind. After sweeping away all the incoming arrows, he stepped on the ground, crushing the floor, and flew into the sky. The roof of a building disappeared.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!".

The next second, bursts of blood exploded from the surrounding buildings, and the sword light of the big sword flashed crazily in it, and then the arrow rain disappeared.

"Bang!"

Seeing this, Ian raised his foot and kicked away a charging killer. The sword in his hand also turned into a continuous sword light, creating a burst of sword light and sword shadow, and fought with the killers.

The skills of those killers were very good. In Li Ge's previous life, they were basically superhumans. However, facing two beautiful female swordsmen, they had no power to fight back, and their formation was instantly disintegrated.

"snort!"

This situation caused a cold snort not long after.

A figure jumped from the roof of a building again, but before landing, he stepped on the wall of the building. While the wall was cracked, the figure turned into bullets and shot towards Ian.

"——!?"

Ian's expression changed slightly, he turned around sharply, and without hesitation, struck a flash-like strike at the figure shooting from mid-air.

"clang--!"

The two swords collided with each other in mid-air, causing fierce sparks and loud sounds.

Ian repeated his old trick, raising his foot to kick, but the attacker's reaction was faster than Ian's. He twisted his waist in mid-air, spun his body, turned into a top, and flew back.

"who?"

Ian held the thin sword across his fingers in one hand and held the scabbard at his waist with the other hand, his voice was cold.

The attacker just looked at Ian like this with cold eyes, and then suddenly dodged to the right, dodging a heavy blow from behind.

"boom!"

The blood-stained sword struck the ground so hard that the floor exploded on the spot, kicking up a lot of dust.

Ain appeared behind the intruder at some point, unable to hit a single blow, and there was no trace of frustration on his face. He looked coldly at the intruder who was sideways dodging, his eyes full of sharp edges.

"whispering sound."

The attacker looked at Ain, then at Ian, and finally was speechless.

"The guards around the target are actually two swordsmen. No wonder they didn't bring anyone else with them."

Unlike magicians, swordsmen's level positioning cannot be confirmed from the surface.

The level positioning of magicians is easy to confirm. Those who can use strategic level magic are strategic level magicians. Those who can use tactical level magic are tactical level magicians. Those who cannot use these two levels of magic are all combat level magicians. Teacher, very simple and clear, without too many bells and whistles.

Although this level positioning does not mean that high-ranking people are more powerful than low-ranking ones. Even if a magician has strategic-level magic and tactical-level magic when fighting alone, it is useless. It depends on the proficiency of combat-level magic, but at least the level is set. Here, there is no doubt about it.

Compared with magicians, swordsmen cannot easily and clearly confirm their level and strength. Even those who have practiced special sword skills will face low-level swordsmanship after more than ten or twenty years of practice if they are not good at it. A skilled old swordsman will lose if he should lose.

Therefore, swordsmen are not like magicians who can easily distinguish their level and strength. If they don't take action, no one will know how strong a swordsman is.

For this reason, all countries in Akasha Continent have formulated relevant domestic systems to measure the strength and level of swordsmen.

The so-called regular swordsman is a title born from this.

When a swordsman possesses strength that far exceeds that of ordinary swordsmen, the swordsman will be awarded the Order of the Swordsman by the royal family or local nobles to show his honor and ability.

At the national level, ordinary swordsmen are just soldiers, apprentice swordsmen at a lower level.

The true swordsman is different.

All swordsmen who have been awarded the title of "Right Swordsman" are capable of fighting one against a thousand.

Swordsmen of this level can already be called strong, and they are the backbone fighting force needed by the royal family and major nobles.

The Kingdom of Jinas has regulations. Anyone who has received the Order of the Swordsman can unconditionally join the Kingdom's Knights, become a palace knight, and lead an army as long as they are willing.

The major nobles would only welcome the arrival of a true swordsman. As long as a true swordsman came to express his allegiance, his treatment was sometimes even comparable to that of a senior magician.

If a magician can have a regular swordsman as his attendant, then this matter in itself will become a topic and a capital to show his status, but ordinary magicians are not qualified to have a regular swordsman as him (her). )'s attendants, even tactical-level magicians rarely have regular swordsman-level attendants.

However, there are now two swordsmen of this level here.

It was Ain and Ian.

Ain and Ian are both regular swordsmen who have received the medal of regular swordsmen.

Both of them have the fighting ability to fight one against a thousand, and their strength is strong enough for Yuri to trust Li Ge's safety to them.

Among Yuli's many attendants, apart from Marilyn, these two are the strongest.

Facing such two powerful swordsmen, the only exposed lower half of the attacker's face seemed a little distorted.

Ain and Ian didn't see each other's appearance clearly until this moment.

It was a strong man with a strong physique, holding a broad-edged sword in his hand. He was not wearing a cloak, but he also wore a mask that covered the upper half of his face, so his specific appearance could not be seen clearly.

"Who are you?"

Ain asked this question aggressively.

The strong man still didn't answer the question. He just turned his eyes and glanced at Li Ge who was watching indifferently. Then he glanced at the cloaked killers around him and said in a deep voice.

"You go and kill the target."

With that said, the strong man took the lead and rushed towards Ain.

What is surprising is that this man is obviously extremely strong in physique, but extremely fast. He is like a charging chariot, bringing with it the sound of howling wind, which makes Ain's eyes tremble.

"Ian, protect Mr. Rigg."

Putting aside these words, Ain actually rushed towards the enemy unwilling to be outdone.

"clang--!"

The fierce clash of gold and iron resounded in the next moment.

What followed was a series of bursts of sword light, which collided with each other, causing sparks and collision sounds to erupt, occupying a corner of the dark alley.

Ain and the strong man fought, and as soon as they met, they entered a fierce battle.

Ain swung his sword, and pulled out sword lights with a light weight. With bursts of sonic booms, he slashed at the strong man, as if he wanted to split him in half.

The strong man turned the broad-bladed sword in his hand like a windmill, using the thick blade to deflect the incoming heavy chops, allowing the sword light drawn by Ain to dissipate around him.

As the two moved, they staggered with each other. The aftermath of the battle even scratched the walls and floor with traces. From time to time, they would step on and smash the floor, making the movement extremely loud.

"Is there a swordsman among the enemy's leaders?"

Ian's face looked solemn, but he did not stand there in a daze. Following Ian's instructions, he ducked in front of Li Ge to protect him.

The killers got up from the ground. They were not afraid when they saw this scene. Like machines that had lost their emotions, they advanced instead of retreating and surrounded Ian.

Ian tightened the rapier in his hand and waited indifferently for the killers to approach. It was not until they approached that he suddenly took action. He raised his hand and waved countless rays of cold light, stabbing the killers.

The killers were not afraid of death. Some raised their swords to block and were forced back amidst the crisp sounds of the exchange. Some were unable to react and were cut through their shoulders, flanks, thighs and even jaws by the thrust of the sword tip, causing splashes. A lot of blood was shot out.

But they still rushed forward without mercy, and regardless of their injuries, they attacked Ian fiercely, and for a moment they also entangled Ian.

Such behavior made Ian feel a little moved.

"call out!"

At this moment, an arrow shot from nowhere pierced the atmosphere and pointed directly at Li Ge who was behind.

"Oops!"

When Ian heard the noise, his expression suddenly changed, and without thinking, he turned around and rushed towards Li Ge.

".!?"

Ain, who was fighting fiercely with the strong man, also wanted to come back for help, but was hit by three consecutive blows from the broad-bladed sword, and was forced back with a "clang clang" sound.

The killers even rushed towards Ian, entangled her again and hindered her steps.

Then, arrows shot out suddenly, and the arrow with a cold light penetrated Lige's head.

Until he was stopped by a bright silver dagger.

"Qiang!"

A flash of silver light, and a crisp sound, deflected the incoming arrow.

Li Ge stood motionless, holding the bright silver dagger in his hand and maintaining the posture of swinging to the side.

His expression was always calm, and his eyes were unwavering.

Suddenly, everyone showed an astonished expression.
