"You... who are you... you..."
Kulun and his few equally wicked cronies were terrified by the bizarre and terrifying scene before them. Looking at the black knight, whose murderous intent was palpable and whose handsome appearance would make any man jealous, they couldn't recall ever having offended such a terrifying figure.
"Six months ago, right here, you killed thirty or forty children, and a mercenary named York impaled their heads on the tip of his spear. If it weren't for His Majesty Alexander saving the five of us, I'm afraid this blood debt would never have been avenged." Inzaghi approached step by step, his tone calm, but to Kulun and the others, a chill ran from their tailbone to the top of their head, as if they were in an ice cave, and even the rising Sun seemed to grow colder.
" King of Chambord Alexander... So it was you... You're that little bastard who was rescued by King of Chambord... You..." Young Master Kulun's face immediately turned deathly pale, devoid of any color. Even if he was ignorant and incompetent, he knew what the name ' King of Chambord ' represented in the Zenit Empire today. The nightmare that had been troubling the entire Ptolemy Family days was finally about to arrive.
"I said I would come back someday."
Inzaghi's lips curled into a Vengeance smile, revealing his white, handsome teeth that looked like sharp Daozi. His body seemed to stand still, only flickering slightly. Behind Kulun, four or five young noblemen, also dressed in fine clothes, clutched their throats in utter horror and collapsed limply to the ground.
The female warrior Danni Lizi opened her beautiful eyes wide. Even with her One-Star Class Dou Qi strength, she couldn't figure out how Inzaghi had made his move. It was a terrifying scene, as if Inzaghi could sever his opponent's throat with a single glance if he wanted to.
What a terrifying assassination technique.
This is exactly the same way that the two [ Gale Legion ] legion members and more than fifty soldiers died.
"No... don't kill me! Don't kill me!!! Please, don't kill me, I was wrong, I know I was wrong..." The only survivor at the scene, young master Kulun, was so frightened that he soiled himself, his crotch reeking. He knelt on the ground, weeping and crawling forward step by step, pleading in terror.
Inzaghi frowned and took a small step back.
"Go, I won't kill you now," the Black Knight said suddenly after thinking for a moment.
"Huh? Really... really?" Kulun's face was covered in snot and tears, and his eyes showed an incredulous look. He himself did not expect that this cold and ruthless black knight would let him go so easily.
"Get out of here now!" Inzaghi snapped impatiently.
"Ah, yes, yes, thank you, thank you..." Kulun scurried away, wishing he had two more legs.
"We can't let him go!" Danni Lizi shouted to Inzaghi, "Brother Philip, he's the youngest son of Ptolemy, the elder of the [ Gale Legion ], and the younger brother of Deisler, the top warrior of Hot Springs Pass. He'll bring men to take revenge. Kill him, and you must leave Hot Springs Pass immediately."
These words nearly scared the wits out of Young Master Kulun, who was fleeing in terror.
"Wait a minute," Inzaghi finally spoke up.
Kulun was so terrified that his legs almost gave way and he knelt on the ground, clutching his head and begging for mercy. He was terrified that if the handsome black knight changed his mind and gave him a single glance, he would end up like those unlucky souls, with blood gushing from his throat and dying on the spot.
Who knows--
"Go back and tell your arrogant father and your self-important brother that Philip Inzaghi will soon come back to deal with you. Be prepared." Inzaghi did not kill again, but instead gazed at the magnificent lord's mansion in the center of Hot Springs Pass and said slowly.
Kulun felt a chill run down his spine and dared not say anything more. He took off running and quickly disappeared around a street corner in the distance of the slums.
"You..." Danni Lizi looked at Inzaghi, not knowing what to say. Letting a tiger return to the mountains would bring endless trouble.
Inzaghi looked at the female warrior and smiled slightly, revealing his beautiful white teeth, giving Danni Lizi an indescribable feeling of warmth. At this moment, Inzaghi was nowhere to be seen from the cold, icy killing intent that had been shooting through the air. He was like a boy next door, so approachable that people couldn't help but want to get closer to him.
" Danni, it's so good that you're alive." Inzaghi reached out and hugged the slightly disheveled female warrior tightly.
At the same time, Michael Owen had already walked over carrying the little girl who had been kicked away. Both of them had the strange potion given to them by Sun Fei, and with a little effort, they saved the unconscious little girl without leaving any marks.
" Danni, it was you! How did you escape that morning?"
"That's wonderful, that's truly wonderful! You're alive! God help us, we all thought you were gone..."
Raúl, Cavani, Owen, and Trezeguet —all four companions surrounded Danni Lizi with unusual excitement. As assassins, under Sun Fei's deliberate training, they possessed the sharpest eyesight and the most accurate judgment. Moreover, this female warrior in front of them was actually their companion from more than half a year ago, and they quickly recognized Danni Lizi's identity.
The beautiful female warrior had red-rimmed eyes, but a smile graced her face.
That bloody, massacre-stricken night, because she had given her few pieces of dark bread to little Tina during the day, she was starving in the middle of the night. Daringly, she secretly got up and went to a small, remote garbage hill to find food, but accidentally slipped and fell down the hill, hitting a rock and knocking herself unconscious. When she woke up the next morning, she found her home burned to the ground, blood everywhere, and her former companions nowhere to be found, likely dead or alive.
At that moment, Danni Lizi felt like the sky was falling.
His family, his only family, vanished overnight, and his home, the only place he could live, was reduced to ashes in an instant, leaving him all alone in the world, as if he had been abandoned by the entire world. He frantically inquired about what might have happened that night, and the news he received filled him with despair—someone had seen that everyone in the small courtyard had been killed.
Unexpectedly, today, those companions and relatives whom she thought she had lost have miraculously reappeared before her eyes. In particular, there was the man that the female warrior could never forget. This sudden happiness made everything seem so unreal, and Danni Lizi felt almost dizzy.
She tried her best to hold back her tears, but tears of happiness still streamed down her face.
The female warrior cried and laughed, extending her fist and gently pounding it a few times on the chests of Inzaghi and the other four. The clear sensation made her realize that what she was seeing was not a dream, but a real feeling, so blissfully suffocating.
Children from afar rushed over and hugged Danni Lizi's legs tightly. One little one comforted her in a sweet, childish voice, "Sister Danni, don't cry. Miaoli will sing you a song, okay? Don't cry anymore..."
Danni Lizi smiled through her tears, wiped the glistening drops from her face, reached out and patted Little Miaoli's fluffy head, saying, "Little ones, look, this is my brother Philip, whom I always tell you about. Isn't he amazing? He chased away the big bad guy..."
"Amazing!" The little ones answered in unison, their bright eyes sparkling with adorable admiration.
Inzaghi and the other four were amused.
The scene before them reminded them of eight years ago, when Tina and the others were still alive. It was a similarly warm and lovely scene, but the past is gone, and those ruthless Executioner used their evil steel knives to taint and shatter all that was beautiful.
This grudge must be avenged.
Suddenly realizing something, Danni Lizi said in a panic, " Philip, you shouldn't have let that beast Kulun go back. He'll definitely bring people to retaliate. Although you are strong, he has the entire [ Gale Legion ] backing him. Individual strength can't fight against an army and the power of the empire."
At this point, the female warrior was very anxious and urged the children to pack their things so that Inzaghi and his group of five could leave this place as soon as possible, before Kulun's reinforcements arrived.
Inzaghi smiled and waved his hand.
"Don't worry, the [ Gale Legion ] wouldn't dare to oppose us. Even the Ptolemy Family is probably terrified and in complete chaos right now. As for Kulun, he'd better pray for himself. If the Ptolemy Family doesn't know what's good for them, we won't hesitate to make them disappear from Hot Springs Pass forever. Over the years, hasn't this sinful family stained their hands with enough Bloody?"
Sun Fei's words before leaving left Inzaghi and the others with no qualms, showing them complete disregard for the Ptolemy Family.
Inzaghi had already planned to personally go to the city lord's mansion to settle this score after letting Kulun go. Killing only Kulun was far too lenient on this wicked family.
"You... are too confident. You should know that Kulun's older brother Deisler, is the number one expert in Hot Springs Pass. He advanced to Six-Star Class expert six months ago. Although you guys are quite strong, can you fight against Six-Star Class expert? Listen to me, it's not too late to leave now, or it will be too late..."
Danni Lizi was extremely anxious.
Just then--
"Leave? Do you think you can leave?"
An arrogant voice came from afar, followed by the sound of orderly footsteps and the friction of weapons and armor, surrounding the small courtyard from all directions and encircling it in the very center.
