A dozen extraordinary people from the Soul Guard organization stood in front of the steam door, staring at Su Xiao with vigilant eyes. The underground hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Lan, what should I do?"
The one-eyed boy spoke, still staring at Su Xiao as he spoke.
"Spread out first..."
As soon as Lan opened his mouth, there was a roar behind them, and the steam door at the rear was closed and locked.
In the center of the underground hall, Su Xiao held the Dragon Slaying Flash in its sheath. When he stood up, the long sword was unsheathed and made a crisp sound.
"Be careful, this is the commander of the ninth unit. He is said to be one of the three strongest men in the empire, if I am not mistaken."
The red-haired girl pulled out the stabbing swords on both sides of her waist and crossed them in front of her.
"Is there any mistake? How could we meet such a person?"
"Stop talking nonsense, he is coming this way."
More than a dozen extraordinary beings all took postures to face the enemy, while Lan took a deep breath.
"Mr. Cuculin, we came here with no ill intentions. We just wanted to rescue Ms. Nidia. Even if she violated the laws of the empire, she should accept the judgment of the Arbitration Court instead of being imprisoned here."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. He was observing and observing who was the leader among these people.
Lan waited for a moment and found that Su Xiao had no intention of talking to him at all. His attitude was already obvious. He would go in if he had the guts and would not beep with him.
After Su Xiao's preliminary observation, he felt that the blond boy who just spoke and a red-haired girl holding a double stabbing sword should be the representatives of these dozen people. The others can be killed.
After confirming this, fine cracks appeared on the marble slab under Su Xiao's feet, blood spread, and the next moment, he disappeared from the spot.
"careful……"
As soon as Lan roared, he felt a sense of crisis arise. This feeling made all the hairs on his body stand up, and he almost jumped back instinctively.
‘Bendō Sword·Toki.’
Boom.
An impact spread, and the movements of Lan, the red-haired girl, the one-eyed boy and others all slowed down. Su Xiao was already standing among a dozen people at some point.
‘Bendō Sword·Fengju.’
Zheng.
A cross-shaped blade shot out and slashed straight at the one-eyed boy. The one-eyed boy slowly raised his arms, forming a wall of air in front of him.
The cross sword light slashed through, and the one-eyed boy still kept his arms stretched out. A huge cross appeared on the air wall in front of him, and two interlaced blood marks appeared on his torso.
When Su Xiao slashed out a knife, he turned his body sideways, and stabbed him with a stabbing sword close to his shoulder. It was the red-haired girl. She was very fast, but to Su Xiao, her speed could only be considered fast.
It's not to the point where it's impossible to dodge.
While turning sideways, Su Xiao kicked the red-haired girl in the abdomen.
Bang!
A piece of clothing on the red-haired girl's back exploded, and she groaned in pain, blood spurted from her mouth, and her body flew backwards uncontrollably.
With a bang, the red-haired girl crashed into the wall on the right side of the underground hall, leaving only a hole.
In the crowd, the long knife in Su Xiao's hand did not pause for a moment. He activated the dragon shadow flash ability to penetrate the space and appeared behind the three extraordinary beings.
These three extraordinary beings all felt a sense of crisis behind them, but this became their last sense.
Puff, puff, puff...
Blood splattered, severed limbs and torsos chopped into two parts flew around like chopping melons and vegetables.
Before the bodies of the three people hit the ground, Su Xiao stepped on the ground and several gravels flew up.
Su Xiao casually grabbed one of them, and the energy of the green steel shadow was wrapped in the gravel, and he threw it directly.
The gravel broke through the layers of air waves. An extraordinary person just wanted to do a backflip to avoid the incoming gravel, but the gravel had penetrated his head and flew out with the broken skull and brain. This is a typical full-scale attack.
The brain manipulation is actually just a matter of thrusting the body, and the head will be shot.
Su Xiao clenched her left fist, and the banishment clinging to her cuff flew out, forming six small handleless stabbing swords.
Puff, puff...
There were a total of six extraordinary people, and two of them escaped from the banishment, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the banishment had already made a sharp turn and penetrated through their vests.
16 extraordinary people entered the underground hall, and now 10 people were killed. You know, the battle only started for 6 seconds.
‘Bendō Sword·Kill.’
Su Xiao slashed diagonally, and a bloody sword light shot out. The sword light did not fly out, but expanded rapidly after leaving the blade.
With a cry, the blood-colored sword light passed by, and a golden light could be faintly seen in it. It was Lan. He resisted the "Bendō Sword: Killing" and was slashed by the sword. He flew out and hit the wall hard.
After the blow, only Su Xiao was left standing in the underground hall, and pools of blood gradually spread on the ground.
More than a dozen extraordinary people rushed in fiercely. In less than 10 seconds, most of them were killed and four were seriously injured.
Lan slowly slid down the wall, leaving a trace of blood on the wall.
"Cough cough cough..."
Lan held his mouth and coughed dryly. Every part of his body was in pain. His clothes were full of tiny tears. The enemy's strength was not at the same level as theirs.
"I am... the envoy."
Lan struggled to speak, however.
Ding, ding!
The two severely injured extraordinary beings were exiled. Now, only Lan and the red-haired girl are still alive.
"Adjutant, come out and collect the bodies. Put these two in the dungeon."
"Coming, coming."
The young adjutant ran out of the iron door inside the hall. She grabbed Lan's collar and glanced at the seriously injured Lan.
"Hey, he's quite handsome, but a little silly."
Soon, the corpses in the underground hall were cleaned up, and Lan and the red-haired girl were imprisoned in the dungeon, becoming inmates with the Soul Whisperer.
Even if the Ninth Force has been disbanded, it cannot be challenged by a civilian organization of extraordinary beings.
…
Five hours later, in the slightly dark dungeon, the Soul Whisperer was still mumbling something. In the next dungeon were the seriously injured Lan and the red-haired girl.
"Lord Nydia, I'm sorry, we were too reckless."
Lan sat in the dungeon with her head bowed, her face gloomy.
"You have tried your best. This may be fate."
The soul whisperer smiled kindly at Lan and the red-haired girl. Seeing this scene, Lan lowered her head even further.
"Others will find a way. We now need to wait and appease these greedy people in power. We must not say even a word to them. Never."
Soul Whisperer was actually in a bad mood. The power she had been running for several years actually failed to have any effect at the critical moment.
"There's... no one else."
Lan laughed miserably, and the red-haired girl beside her covered her face with one hand, tears sliding down her cheeks.
"There are more than a hundred soul guards..."
The soul whisperer's face began to look ugly.
"You can die, you can run away. The only ones who can continue fighting are the two of us."
"..."
The soul whisperer was silent. After a few minutes, she spoke:
"People's extraordinary beings are used to being careless, but they are so unreliable at critical moments."
The Soul Whisperer no longer goes to see Lan and the red-haired girl.
After hearing these words, the red-haired girl's pupils gradually tightened, and she looked at the soul whisperer with a surprised face. She felt that she might have heard wrong just now.
"Sure enough, you are using us, but... I'm sorry, I'm too weak."
Lan was not surprised, he was much calmer than the red-haired girl whose outlook was about to collapse.
"Lan, you are indeed the smartest."
The Soul Whisperer looked at Xiang Lan with a somewhat pleased look at this time. This time it was indeed from the heart.
"The purpose of why you gathered us is actually not important to me. In any case, you have led us to save many civilians in the past few years. This is enough."
Lan leaned against the cold wall, a smile appeared on her face, which was both bitter and nostalgic.
"You two, find a way to end it on your own. This is the ninth unit. I have contacted them many times. They will use methods you can't imagine to force you two to get information."
Perhaps because Lan made the matter clear, the Soul Whisperer gave a fairly pertinent warning.
"Intelligence? Is that what you always listen to at night?"
Lan smiled indifferently.
"..."
The soul whisperer said nothing, closed his eyes and continued to whisper.
boom!
A loud noise came, and the Soul Whisperer, Lan, and the red-haired girl were all shocked.
The young adjutant who was guarding the underground prison looked at Baha.
"Moon Monastery has protected the Soul Whisperer twice, isn't it? Is it going to turn out this time?"
"That Bi|pool of the Moon Goddess."
Baha cursed lowly and rushed out of the underground prison with his young adjutant.
Not long after, shouts of death and explosions were heard from above.
"This is an opportunity."
Lan stood up with some difficulty. He groped around on himself but couldn't find what he wanted, so he started looking for the red-haired girl again. Soon, he pulled off a piece of metal jewelry from the red-haired girl's boots.
Lan came to the cell door and tried to pick the lock.
"Lan, when did you learn to pick a lock?"
The red-haired girl was a little confused. In her opinion, Lan would never do anything sneaky.
"Before joining the Soul Guard, I made a living by stealing."
With a click, the cell door was opened. Lan quickly came to Soul Whisperer's cell door and began to pick the lock.
"Lan, don't waste your efforts, I won't live long, at most three days, the chronic poison in my body will kill me."
The Soul Whisperer stood up and walked to the cell door, seemingly examining the young man she had been using but had never seen through.
After hearing the words of the soul whisperer, Lan's hands froze.
"The Soul Guard will continue to exist. Farewell, Lord Nydia."
Lan bowed and saluted, supported the red-haired girl and turned around to leave.
"The person who trusts me the most is actually Lan, how ridiculous."
Looking at Lan's back gradually walking away, the Soul Whisperer chuckled hoarsely and touched the tattoo on the back of his other hand with his finger. She had not been injected with chronic poison, but she just didn't want to risk leaving. Luna Monastery would come forward.
, this was something she had thought of a long time ago, so she felt confident.
At this moment, Lan suddenly stopped, pushed the red-haired girl away, and stared at the soul whisperer in the cell.
"That pattern is very important to you, right? And the one on your face, it's really hard for you to let down your guard."
Lan took out a small knife from her arms and copied the tattoos on the Soul Speaker's face and the back of her hands on the ground.
The soul whisperer looked at Lan in confusion.
"What a cautious old woman. She didn't leave a will despite being mentally induced. My performance just now was not sensational enough? Or is it that you are very resistant to mental induction?"
'Lan''s hands reached to his chin and began to tear himself apart.
When 'Lan' pulled off his face and hair, his appearance changed drastically and he turned into a thin man, slightly shorter.
This man is called the Face-Flayer Aaron Lu, an extraordinary person whose ability is to peel off the skin of others and disguise himself as that person.
He has committed treason and murder, and has repeatedly impersonated officials of the Dawn Empire and the Cimolo Empire, causing direct or indirect economic losses of up to 2.68 billion gold pounds. He is one of the three prisoners held in the secret prison.
"This should be enough. Thank you, Ms. Soul Whisperer, for saving my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Aaron Lu put his index finger and middle finger on his forehead, and at this time, the soul whisperer was gnashing his teeth and staring at Aaron Lu.
The red-haired girl got up from the ground. Even now, she still doesn't fully understand what happened.
