Creed of the heavens

"Evil devil!"

The guard who fell behind saw that all his companions were killed in just half a minute, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse. The bloody Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao would not have any sympathy or pity for the enemy when performing tasks, and the sound of hurried footsteps from the tower above the library also alerted him at all times, and the battle was not over yet.

"Crack!"

The blood-stained Hidden Blade mercilessly pierced through the neck of the last enemy. Lu Xiao sped up his movements and quietly hid in the shadow of the place where the guards upstairs had to go downstairs.

"call"

After a round of intense activities, Lu Xiao's physical exertion was relatively high. Taking this opportunity, he used the breathing method taught by Mario to try to balance his shortness of breath.

"What's going on down there? Julio? Paige eh!"

The No.1 bluffing guard of the high tower was pulled into the shadows by Lu Xiao and killed. Except for a few archers standing on high places vigilantly aiming down with their bows, almost all the guards who passed the stairs before and after were used by Lu Xiao Killed in a similar manner.

The Hidden Blade is thin and sharp, very useful for silent assassination, and can usually kill the enemy invisible.

However, compared with conventional weapons, the Hidden Blade's continuous combat capability is greatly limited.

Breaking through the armor and killing many people in a row, the blades of the Hidden Swords of Lu Xiao's hands were worn to varying degrees. Recently, when he assassinated a guard, he even let out a scream while struggling, which disturbed those who didn't know what was going on below the tower. Situation for archers.

no solution anymore.

Withdrawing the severely blunted Hidden Blade, Lu Xiaomao walked between the bookshelves with his waist bent, trying to collect the remaining arrows from the corpses he shot.

Three of the ten arrows were too far away to be recovered, and the other three were worn out and could not be used again.

Four?Should be enough.

Judging from the footsteps upstairs and the communication with each other, there should be no more than 5 endings left in the entire library and the assassin's tomb, and 3 of them are archers waiting to snipe upstairs.

Sniper at the center?Come on then.

After taking off his blood-stained assassin robe and putting it on a corpse, Lu Xiao poked the corpse's head out from behind the bookshelf, while he observed the positions of the three archers through the faint gap between the two rows of bookshelves.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Sure enough, at the same time as the hooded body was showing its head, three arrows precisely shot him in the head.

When the three archers who thought they had succeeded realized something was wrong, Lu Xiao's counterattack had already been aimed at them.

"Uh!"

"what!"

"Well!"

Three archers were hit by arrows one after another, two of them were killed on the spot, and the last one had a slight error due to the wear and tear of Lu Xiao's arrow. Fortunately, he was only shot in the left arm, and hurriedly dropped the bow and arrow and hid behind the bunker reluctantly.

Although he failed to shoot and kill the three of them smoothly, Lu Xiao's goal of dispelling the long-range threat was still achieved.

After taking off the robe from the corpse, Lu Xiao put on the assassin with three holes in the hood again, and walked out of the hiding place openly.

Lu Xiao, who was not wearing a hood, deliberately showed a wanton smile on his face. Standing in the silent library full of corpses, he opened his hands to challenge the remaining three guards.

"Come on, Templars, I'll give you a chance to kill me."

Chapter 34 Time and place locked

Few people can maintain complete calm in the face of more than two dozen corpses of companions who live together day and night in a non-battlefield situation, at least these three Templars could not.

"Crack!"

Withdrawing the dagger that cut the neck of the last enemy, Lu Xiao let out a long breath and sat down slowly against the edge of the high platform.

Thanks to the thundering roar of the cannons inside and outside the city, no one has noticed that a big battle has just happened in this sealed library for the time being.

Although Lu Xiao has received strict training from Mario and Giovanni, his physical fitness is still within the standard of ordinary people. This one-on-many battle really exhausted him a lot of energy.

At this time, Lu Xiao's original gray assassin's suit could already wring out blood, and the whole suit was completely dyed red, which in disguise increased the weight on his body.

As a last resort, Lu Xiao had no choice but to abandon this dress and take off a neater guard uniform from a certain corpse and put it on.

When Lu Xiao sat down to rest, the system's notification sound suddenly sounded: "Congratulations to the host, you have completed the random task: Wushuang, and the reward skill: underwater breathing E."

"Ok?"

Lu Xiao raised her eyebrows unexpectedly. This was the first time that the system did not draw a lottery, but directly gave actual rewards.

Breathe underwater?

Lu Xiao rubbed her chin in confusion and said that it's useless, at least it prevents me from dissolving in water like the second grandpa, but if it's useful, the versatility of this skill is too low.

Underwater breathing can increase the time that Lu Xiao can hold his breath underwater. The E-level skill can only increase by 2 minutes, but it does not make him a humanoid submarine that does not need to float up immediately.

Moreover, there are not many occasions that require underwater actions, and the 2-minute increase in breath holding time in the E-level underwater breathing zone does not seem to have much effect.

"Forget it, let's put this countermeasure skill aside and work harder."

After changing her clothes and resting for a while, Lu Xiao began to climb in the empty library tower.

Just like some fragments left in his already very vague memory, the Assassin's Tomb in Grossa Tower is located on the same height as the Church of Santa Maria del Fiore.

Taking out the token from the sarcophagus in front of the statue of the former assassin Wei Yu, Lu Xiao took advantage of the opportunity to climb up the stairs that fell after the trigger mechanism, and successfully passed the secret exit to the outside of the tower.

Perhaps it was Francesco who finally discovered the hidden corpse near the west city gate, and the frequency of cannon bombardment with Mario's mercenaries was significantly reduced.

Seen from a height, the city is in a mess, and a large number of guards are patrolling back and forth nervously in the small city of San Gimignano.

"It's time to leave."

When Lu Xiao opened her hands and launched a leap of faith to escape from the tower, the bell tower of the Church of the Assumption sounded the alarm at the right time.

Through the window of his room, Rodrigo Borgia squinted his eyes and silently watched Lu Xiao's figure "soaring" down from the tower.

A large number of corpses in the library were finally exposed. The strong smell of blood and the red and white scene made many guards responsible for cleaning up the mess vomit on the spot.

A blood-stained assassin's hooded suit was sent to Rodrigo by a trembling Francesco.

The cardinal didn't blame the Patch family's oversight this time, even he didn't expect that the assassin could break through the defenses of countless guards with supernatural powers, and touch his side without anyone noticing.

If he hadn't cautiously placed a large number of heavy armored guards around him as usual, the infiltrating assassin might have taken advantage of the opportunity to kill him.

Rodrigo, who had a chill on his back, gritted his teeth: "We can't wait any longer. Part of our plan may have been exposed. We must readjust the configuration of the operation day and prepare the horses immediately! I will personally rush to Florence to preside over the situation."

Relying on the set of guard skins on her body, Lu Xiao, who was talking nonsense when she saw people, slipped out of the city of San Gimignano smoothly, and joined Mario who was resting outside the city.
