As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

Several thieves rushed forward. The green-haired girl screamed exaggeratedly, but she moved among the swords like a nimble nightingale, calmly and with ease.

"Damn it!"

"What are you doing? Catch her!"

The enraged thieves gradually lost their composure and their movements became increasingly chaotic. At this moment, the girl's eyes turned cold, and with a flash of her blade, she easily broke through their defenses.

A sound of breaking wind, colder than the wind itself, passed by.

The last thing the thieves who had their throats cut saw was the disdain and ridicule on that elegant face.

"A band of thieves, that's it?"

Chapter 74 The Whereabouts of the Bloodstone

No matter how terrified and unwilling they were, they could not resist at all and just fell straight down.

Seeing the thieves being suppressed by the two Sequence 8 warriors, a group of adventurers rushed forward and almost chased the thieves to beat them.

"Kill all these hyenas!"

An adventurer holding a heavy sword took the lead and chased after the fleeing thieves.

But at this moment, a displeased sound of surprise came from the center of the battle between the two sides.

At some point, a tall and thin figure with his hands in his pockets suddenly and ghostly appeared in front of the thieves.

When the thieves saw him, they stopped fleeing on the spot.

Reid instinctively sensed something was wrong and was about to speak out a warning, but before he could open his mouth, he saw the sharp light of a blade flash.

The adventurer who caught up with the heavy sword was cut off along with his sword and head!

Unlike the thieves who united for profit, the adventurers were brothers who lived together day and night and worked hand in hand. This scene aroused the anger and murderous intent of all the adventurers.

Two more people, holding long swords and battle axes, roared and attacked from both sides, trying to avenge their brothers, but were stunned by Red's angry shout.

"Idiot! Don't go over there!"

"Ah."

With a contemptuous snort, in the blink of an eye, the tall and thin man appeared in front of the two men.

Fortunately, this time, the dazzling lightning spear thrust had also arrived.

Reid suddenly burst out with all his strength, knocking his two brothers away, and stabbed the figure in front of him alone.

But the man was extremely fast. Instead of retreating, he advanced, brushing past the tip of the thunder spear, and the dagger came like a black wind.

To be honest, Red couldn't see the other man's movements clearly. He instinctively felt a chill and pulled back, relying entirely on years of experience in life-and-death battles. Even so, a gash deep enough to reveal the bone was torn in his chest.

In severe pain, Reid roared and swung his spear violently, trying to increase the attack distance to hit the opponent.

The lightning spear in his hand almost turned into a long whip. In a dazzling moment, it burst out with lightning and thunder, knocking away a group of thieves in the distance.

But the attack still missed.

The tall and thin man, with amazing flexibility and reaction, leaned his upper body back to avoid the attack, then stood up and kicked forward, sending Red flying into the air.

The blow almost made Red lose consciousness on the spot.

Seeing the enemy chasing him, when he landed, driven by the instinct of survival, Red used his last strength to stab the attacking enemy with all his strength.

Thunder exploded in the darkness.

The Thunder Lance's bloodline is inherited from a magical beast called the Thunder Knight. This beast's veins flow not with blood, but with pure lightning. Its full-strength strike is comparable to that of actual thunder.

Driven by a desperate effort, Red's stab was no less powerful than that of a real [Thunder Knight]!

The tall and thin man's pupils widened slightly, and a hint of seriousness finally appeared in his eyes. Shadows surged under his feet, and he suddenly dodged to the side.

The lightning spear went straight through the bodies of several thieves, and violent lightning suddenly exploded behind him, blowing up a relatively intact stone wall and causing it to collapse to the ground.

The tall and thin man finally retreated, but he was still unharmed.

But Red was seriously injured and had exhausted his extraordinary strength. He was lying on the ground, dying, and was dragged back by the adventurers in a hurry.

The tall and thin man exuded a strong sense of oppression just by standing there.

The tide of battle was overwhelmingly turned. The thieves cheered and launched a counterattack. However, after witnessing the man's strength with their own eyes, no adventurer dared to rush out to fight the enemy. They could only hide in the ruins of the castle and barely defend themselves.

"Damn, this aura must be from Sequence 7! Who is that guy?" Nia couldn't help but ask, wary of the man.

Sequence 7, even among the Elven Guards, he is a top expert. How could he be an ordinary robber?!

One of the adventurers said with a pale face, "That's one of the seven most wanted criminals in the Academy City, the leader of the thieves group, [Black Claw] Andy!"

These words made all the adventurers present gasp, and even Nia was stunned.

As the center of Vizzea, the Citadel has nurtured the most prosperous and diverse side, but it has also become the breeding ground for darkness from all over Vizzea.

Nia had heard that many desperate criminals were wanted by the countries of Viszea, and the most dangerous among them were the seven most wanted criminals who controlled the seven major underground forces.

The thieves' group is notorious for robbery and theft, and its leader, Andy [Black Claw], is one of the seven most wanted criminals!

For such a strong person, his strength can no longer be judged by a simple sequence.

"Even Brother Red is no match for him. We're done for now!"

An atmosphere of pessimism hung over everyone.

Logically speaking, the gap between Sequence 8 and Sequence 7 shouldn't be that big, but Andy's strength was beyond their imagination. He severely injured Red with just three moves, leaving them no chance to even offer help!

Seeing this, Nia felt something was wrong.

Losing the last bit of fighting spirit will only accelerate defeat!

She quickly feigned optimism and comforted him, "No, don't we still have Master Sword Ghost?"

The light in everyone's eyes brightened briefly, but quickly dimmed.

[Black Claw] Andy has defeated four A-rank adventurers and even successfully assassinated a Sequence 6 noble!

The so-called [Sword Ghost], if a real fight breaks out, will probably only add to the opponent's record.

But no one said anything sarcastic.

At this critical juncture, the adventurers can only force themselves to believe in this slim hope in order to sustain their fighting spirit like a candle in the wind.

"Ahem, why would you, a person like you appear here..."

Red stared at the figure in the distance, feeling unwilling, frightened, and confused.

"Why? Why are you adventurers allowed to hunt for treasure, but our group of thieves is not allowed to get involved?" Andy sneered.

"Treasure hunting? What the hell are you talking about?! There is a fucking treasure here?!" Red almost vomited blood.

Andy was slightly surprised when he saw this.

Aren't these guys here for the vampire treasure? Aren't they the Sword Ghost's men?

At this moment, Andy's pocket moved.

He took out the hideous-looking fruit. The fruit opened its eyes, looked at the people in front of it, and immediately came to a conclusion.

"That adventurer doesn't have the aura of a vampire."

"It seems he knows nothing." Andy frowned slightly.

It would be terrible if these guys were treated as pawns by the Sword Ghost.

But the next second, Guozi's gaze was firmly locked on Nia's figure.

At the same time, Nia felt her whole body become cold and stiff, and her thoughts were inexplicably stained with a deep sadness and anger.

The fruit was stunned for a moment, then the corners of its mouth, covered in mucus, opened, showing great surprise.

"I can't believe it, I can't believe it, is this fate? In search of the vampire treasure, I'd actually run into the descendants of Violet..."

Andy said bluntly: "Speak human language."

"She has the aura of the vampire's treasure! She's come into contact with that thing before, so she must know its whereabouts!"

Hearing this, Andy fixed his eyes on Nia.

Chapter 75 [Black Claw]

Upon hearing this, Nia immediately reacted and her heart sank.

The blood clan’s most precious treasure, the bloodstone. No wonder [Black Claw] took action personally. It turns out they have been eyeing that thing for a long time!

The bloodstone is in Roy's hand. Once they know that Roy has it, they will never let him go easily!

Nia's eyes flickered, and this instantaneous change in expression was accurately captured by Andy.

Andy smiled: "You really know the whereabouts of that thing."

"What is that? The treasure of the vampire clan? Are you crazy? You even believe the nonsense of the cult?" Nia sneered back.

Andy had no intention of arguing at all. He slowly approached her while playing with the dagger.

"There's no point in playing dumb. We in the band of thieves have plenty of ways to pry the truth out of you."

"Oh, but don't worry, I'll spare your life. After all, you and my brother still have a pretty big personal grudge to deal with."

Nia was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and sneered: "That Angus? Shouldn't you call him sister now?"

As soon as Andy said this, his eyes turned cold, and the extraordinary power swept down like a strong wind, raising a cloud of sand, dust and gravel.

Andy is indifferent to his subordinates, but he is very caring towards his own brother and will not tolerate any humiliation from him.

Knowing this, the thieves retreated to the side and waited to see what would happen, while the adventurers became even more nervous.

"Kid! Stop provoking him. Run now! We'll buy you some time." Red propped himself up and shouted while spitting blood.

However, Nia shook her head and smiled: "You can't run away."

Under the astonished gaze of the adventurers, she walked out of the ruins of the castle alone, facing [Black Claw] Andy.

If she weren't a speed-type Sequence 7, she would still have the confidence to escape, but the opponent's speed was obviously not much inferior to hers. With her back to such a powerful enemy, she would be easily killed. It would be better to fight to the death while there was still some hope.

What's more, that guy has his eyes on Roy.

From that moment on, Nia decided to kill the leader of the bandit gang.

Instead of letting him chase Roy, it’s better to get rid of him here!

Seeing the other party coming towards him decisively, Andy couldn't help but sneer: "Stupid woman."

"Oh, the leader of a thieves' gang can only talk nonsense to a little girl? You are as cowardly as your sister~" Nia sneered mercilessly in her sweet voice.

Andy frowned, but still hesitated.

Of course, he couldn't be afraid of a Sequence 8 girl, but the fact that she dared to approach him so openly clearly meant she had something else up her sleeve.

Is it some kind of extraordinary prop or some kind of magic potion?

Or is there still a powerful person who has not yet made a move? !

Andy had previously learned that the Sword Ghost had also set his sights on the Vampire's treasure, but he hadn't revealed his presence. A dagger hidden in darkness is more formidable than a sword in the light. Andy hadn't immediately joined his men in attacking because he feared the Sword Ghost's presence.

Now that Nia dared to confront him, Andy once again suspected the possibility that the Sword Ghost was nearby.

But just as Andy was thinking, the wind moved.

To be exact, it was Nia who moved.

The silver dagger was wrapped in sarcasm, and the flash of lightning lasted only for a moment.

Andy's eyes widened suddenly, and he quickly stepped back, barely avoiding this shocking attack.

There was actually a shallow sword mark on the clothes around his neck!

"Tsk!"

Nia struck back with another sword, but this time Andy blocked it with his dagger in time.

The confrontation lasted only a moment, but it stunned everyone on both sides.

The thieves had followed Andy for many years and knew that he was swift in his attacks. Even a Sequence 7 opponent would rarely be able to take the initiative before him.

But that little girl actually did it? !

The adventurers were even more shocked. [Thunder Spear] Reid had fought with all his might, nearly dying, to repel [Black Claw], but Konia had nearly succeeded with her first strike. This profoundly overturned their understanding of Sequence 8.
