Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

call out--

boom!

boom!

Two black shadows fell from the sky one after another.

Before Barood Barnett could even think, Lin Zhiyu's resounding voice rang out in the hall:

"Carl, look behind you!" After giving this reminder, Lin Zhiyu raised his knife and ran at full speed towards where Barood Barnett was.

As soon as Barood Barnett stood up from behind the sofa, he found that Lin Zhiyu was less than five meters in front of him like lightning!

All of a sudden.

whoosh-

Wow!

Lin Zhiyu rushed to the sofa and chopped it with a knife, cutting the large leather sofa into two pieces.

Barood Barnett's body was also cut in half by the knife, but it immediately became blurred because it was only an afterimage.

"Where to run!"

Almost at the same time, Lin Zhiyu heard Yazu Yukari's voice coming from behind him.

So Lin Zhiyu turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, just in time to see Yazushiro chopping down with an axe, but unfortunately her attack was blocked by Barud Barnett who held up his staff and created a magic barrier.

"good chance!"

Seeing that Barud Barnett was successfully restrained by Yazushiro, Lin Zhiyu rushed towards Barud Barnett at full speed again, but slashed him with his sword halfway.

Almost at the same time when Lin Zhiyu swung his sword, a crimson figure appeared in front of Lin Zhiyu, also wielding a katana and slashing.

"clang!"

With the sound of metal clashing, Lin Zhiyu's forward momentum was stopped. He looked carefully and found that the person who suddenly appeared in front of him was a white-haired warrior wearing armor and a red ghost mask.

This person exudes a bloody and dark aura all over his body. He was able to intercept Lin Zhiyu who was bursting at full speed and fight with Lin Zhiyu with a knife. It can be seen that his strength is also extraordinary.

"and who are you?"

Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared in the middle of the road. Lin Zhiyu frowned and asked the ghost-faced warrior.

The ghost-faced warrior used all his strength to press against the blade of the sword in Lin Zhiyu's hand and said in a deep voice:

"Ghost Warriors take money from people and do things for them!"

In the Taimanin universe, all beings born in the demon world are considered demons. However, within this category, there are more detailed racial divisions.

For example, orcs, or half-orcs with various animal characteristics, or completely human-like demons like Meiqike, etc.

Onimusha are a group of mercenaries from the demon clan of the demon world. They are all brave and good at fighting, and are well-known for their expertise in killing people for money.

"Oh! I thought he was some kind of sacred figure, but it turns out he's just a mercenary!"

At this moment, Lin Zhiyu sneered, and then burst out with terrifying strength. He supported the sword in his hand and pushed it forward fiercely, pushing the ghost warrior in front of him several steps back and making him slightly unbalanced.

Then, Lin Zhiyu took advantage of the situation and chased after the ghost warrior, slashing him with a sword!

At the critical moment, the ghost warrior stabilized his lower body in time and swung the sword with all his strength.

"Ghost Slayer!"

Along with the sound of the blade breaking through the air, a layer of blood-red flames ignited on the blade of the sword in the Onimusha's hand, and drew a deep red mark in the air.

In comparison, Lin Zhiyu's attack seemed mediocre.

clang--

"Click!"

Another sword fight, accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, the shadow of the Onimusha and the sword in his hand appeared on the ground - the blade was broken, and the head was cut off!

Then came the sounds of the Onimusha's corpse and broken sword falling to the ground one after another.

"Oh, so fancy!"

Looking at the severed head and corpse of the Oni warrior on the ground, Lin Zhiyu sneered, and his attention once again turned to Yazushiro and Barood Barnett.

Barud Barnett relied on the defensive barrier integrated with magic power to resist Yazu Yukari's axe. His eyes turned slightly under his monocle and he caught a glimpse of Lin Zhiyu and the dismembered Onimusha at Lin Zhiyu's feet.

This made his expression change suddenly, and his eyes showed horror!

He hired him at a huge price, and he was a powerful man who was ranked among the top in the group of Onimusha!

Originally, he hired this ghost warrior just to be on the safe side, so that he could follow him secretly and protect him, and help him when he encountered a fatal crisis.

According to his idea, if this trip doesn't go well, the worst that can happen is that he can pay more money and ask the ghost warrior to help him. In this way, he will be able to capture the little maid of Aniloz and the Red Queen Aixiu, right?

Unexpectedly, this trump card he had spent a lot of money to get...

He was killed so quickly!

"No! We have to leave quickly!"

Barud Barnett's heart was filled with a sense of crisis. He did not care how much damage it would cause to himself if he forcibly used the teleportation technique while maintaining the defensive barrier. Before Lin Zhiyu attacked him, he disappeared from the spot with a whoosh.

"boom!"

Yazushiro's axe then fell heavily to the ground, creating a hole in the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyu hurriedly looked around and soon discovered that Barood Barnett's figure appeared not far away, next to Carl Johnson!

But Carl’s situation was not optimistic at all!

The monster summoned by Barud Barnett had a torso like a large tree stump, except that its surface was pitch black.

It has four legs and no arms, but its upper body is covered with many tentacles. There is no head on the top of the "stump", only a flesh-colored hole that is in a closed state - this is actually the monster's mouth, and at first glance it looks very much like P.

Then the monster's main means of attack is its tentacles.

Its tentacles can extend very long, and the end of the tentacles is shaped like a vibrator, but this "vibrator" can open its mouth and bite people like the Piranha Plant. The two rows of teeth inside are very sharp, and it can spit out spikes and even shoot these spikes out.

Faced with such a monster, Carl Johnson had no room to fight back.

He didn't even have time to dodge the damn tentacles, let alone attack with the plasma hand cannon in his hand.

At this time, if Barud Barnett and the monsters he summoned attacked Carl Johnson together, the latter would have no way out!

But just as Barud Barnett appeared behind Carl and was about to cast an attack.

A great sense of crisis suddenly enveloped him, making the hair on his body stand on end.

"There are still masters!?"

When this thought came to his mind, Barud Barnett chose to trust his intuition and quickly cast a spell again to teleport over a short distance.

Almost at the same time that Barood Barnett completed the transmission.

"Whoosh!"

A light purple figure passed by where he was originally standing.

"Huh? I actually dodged it..."

Rinko Akiyama, wearing her purple tights again, appeared in the lobby, surprised that she failed to kill Barood Barnett with one strike.

You should know that her sword-drawing skills, with the help of the escape control technique, are extremely difficult to dodge!

"Sure enough, these guys who train their mental strength and play magic have strong perception. They were able to detect my attack in time and dodge it by teleporting." Rinko Akiyama felt sorry for her mistake in her heart, but she did not feel any urgency, because she was not the only one who wanted to launch a surprise attack like Barood Barnett!

Barud Barnett was smart and chose to teleport next to his summon this time.

Subsequently.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and landed on Barood Barnett!

The monster summoned by Barood Barnett immediately protected Barood Barnett and waved all its tentacles at the lightning falling from the sky.

Swish swish!

Accompanied by flashes of dazzling blue sword energy, most of the tentacle monster's tentacles were cut off.

But just when Uehara Rin was about to kill the tentacle monster completely, the tentacle monster suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed out a green mist.

"not good!"

Rin Uehara inhaled some green mist. Although her body did not feel abnormal so quickly, she quickly changed her trajectory, turned into a blue stream of light, and retreated to create distance between herself and the tentacle monster.

With the tentacle monster helping to delay time, Barud Barnett planned to sacrifice his powerful summon and escape quickly.

But when he turned his eyes to the exit, his heart immediately turned cold.

Because at this moment, Aniloz and Mizuki Shiranui had stopped fighting and both appeared at the door of the building, clearly intending to block Barood Barnett's retreat.

Then, the dusty Yatsukuro and the bruised Igawa Sakura appeared in the lobby, as did Meiqike, whose dress was torn and hair was messy, and who also looked very embarrassed.

These three people had been injured by the attacks launched by the phantom of the Monkey God summoned by Jin Meiting, but they were not seriously injured and could still contribute in the next battle.

Lin Zhiyu, Yazushiro, Carl Johnson, Akiyama Rinko, Uehara Rin, Anne Lorz, Mizuki Shiranui, Yazukuro, Igawa Sakura, Meiqike...

So many people, forming a siege, slowly approached Barud Barnett from all directions.

At this point, the outcome has basically been determined.

Chapter 76: Decisive Battle 5, Trump Card

Looking at the group of Taima Ninjas who were with Lin Zhiyu.

"Haha, I didn't expect you all to put on such a big show for me." Barud Barnett smiled uncomfortably and said in a low voice, "So many people have come together to set a trap for me. You really think highly of me..."

But no matter what Barood Barnett said, Lin Zhiyu did not stop and continued to move towards him.

As Lin Zhiyu got closer, Barud Barnett felt a growing sense of crisis.

"Wait! Why! Who are you? Why are you against me? I don't remember ever provoking someone like you!" Barood Barnett asked Lin Zhiyu loudly.

But Lin Zhiyu still didn't answer him.

What else is there to say to a dead person?

Then, just as Lin Zhiyu bowed slightly and was about to take the lead and charge towards Barud Barnett.

"Lin Zhiyu!"

Suddenly, Jin Meiting's anxious shouts were heard from the stairs leading to the upper floor.

Lin Zhiyu temporarily suppressed his murderous intent and turned around to look in the direction of the sound.

Finally, I found out...

Jin Meiting was actually held hostage!

With a large-caliber pistol held against his back by Sweet Johnson, he slowly walked into the lobby under the push of the former.

A few meters behind the two of them, he was following closely, but he didn't dare to attack rashly, for fear of killing Jin Meiting's Aixiu.

Everything happened so suddenly. Aixiu and Jin Meiting never imagined that Sweet Johnson, who was clearly on the same side as them, would not rush to save his brother when he was in danger, but instead suddenly attacked them in the stairwell!

Caught off guard, Jin Meiting was immediately controlled by Sweet Johnson.

What horrified her even more was that her magic had no effect on Sweet Johnson at all!

He quietly used his ability to control the spider swarm to let the poisonous little spider crawl into Sweet Johnson's pants and bite Sweet Johnson, hoping to break free while he was in pain. However, Sweet Johnson did not react at all, as if he was unconscious and didn't even know that a spider was biting him!

"What kind of monster is this guy!" Jin Meiting was really at a loss and felt so depressed!

Not to mention Ai Xiu, although she also knows some offensive spells, but she is better at mixing various potions and performing various mysterious rituals similar to divination, commonly known as auxiliary. You can't expect her to save Jin Meiting at all.

"Sweet! What the hell are you doing!?"

At this time, seeing that his brother actually held his matched teammates hostage and helped Barud Barnett break the deadlock, Carl couldn't help but swear and questioned his brother.

But Sweet ignored Carl.

His eyes were unfocused, devoid of emotion. Like a machine, he held Jin Meiting hostage, moving closer to Barood Barnett.

"Haha, you didn't expect that? My trump card is not just that useless ghost warrior who was easily killed by you!" With the emergence of hope, Barud Barnett smiled triumphantly and pointed his staff at Lin Zhiyu, as if to say, what can you do to me now?

"Sweet! Can't you fucking hear me? Let that lady go!"

Since Sweet didn't answer, Carl shouted again.

"..."
