    “Am…am I going to die?”


    Knight Mas looked at his own chest, his face filled with disbelief.


    He could not imagine that a scheme, the n to ambush and kill a lowlife, would bring him to this point!


    “Goodbye! Thanks for the experience!”


    Su Lu said a sentence he couldn’t understand, then he withdrew.


    Swish! Swish!


    He moved swiftly, using his shadow clone as a cover.


    In an instant, it seemed as if his shadows filled the entire swamp, ruthlessly ughtering the knights bound by the vines.


    “No!”


    Caught in the grips of the vines, Andrew screamed out in despair.


    After the duration of two spells passed, the field was only left with corpses.


    “How dare you?”


    He pointed at Su Lu while his right hand trembled.


    This was an entire squad from the North Territory’s knight team! Almost one-tenth of the entire knight team’s power!


    It could be said that this loss nearly depleted a tenth of Duke Wolf Fort’s strength!


    Didn’t this wizard fear the duke’s wrath?


    “Why shouldn’t I dare? Killing one is the same as killing all… since you dared to ambush me, you must be prepared to get wiped out.”


    Su Lu examined the dagger in his hand, a sh in his eyes as he looked at his status.


    “Scoundrel!”


    Andrew did not know what to say anymore.


    In fact, the biggest problem between him and Su Lu was their ipatible worldviews.


    Coming from two different worlds, how could they follow the same social norms?


    “Are you a bronze knight?”


    Su Lu looked at Andrew indifferently: “Too bad… The ‘Silver Hand’ of the North’s knight team didn’te himself.”


    “If Lord Rophis was here…”


    Andrew roared out in anger and rushed forward with his sword.


    Ever since he saw how fast Su Lu was, he knew he had no hope of escaping!


    Su Lu’s figure shed, appearing next to Andrew, his dagger outstretched.


    “Ha!”


    Andrew did not dodge, and a bronze color radiated from his waist.


    Zing zing!


    The dagger’s de scratched past, barely breaking the skin, but it did not go much deeper.


    Instead, Andrew roared and swung his sword in retaliation.


    ng!


    The dagger and greatsword shed, letting out a crisp sound. Although it managed to make a small dent in the greatsword, Su Lu’s figure drifted backwards as if made of paper.


    “Now’s my chance!”


    Andrew’s eyes lit up: “Even though your speed is strange, your strength isn’t as great as mine! Barbarian Bear Secret Technique!”


    He roared, the sound wave spread out in all direction, carrying a certain deterrent effect.


    Meanwhile, his muscles that originally seemed ready to explode tensed together lump by lump, morphing him into a humanoid barbarian bear, charging towards Su Lu with unstoppable momentum: “Secret Technique—Cross Star Sword!”


    Although he had no idea why this wizard was stupid enough to fight closebat with him, Andrew seized this opportunity andunched a terrifying offensive!


    Crack!


    The terrifying de sliced through the air, he waved his heavy sword in an instant, the sword tip seemed topletely envelop Su Lu’s surrounding space.


    Ping pong!


    The heavy sword and dagger shed again, and Su Lu’s figure soared into the air.


    “Seeking death!”


    Seeing this, Andrew was overjoyed, thinking that his enemy had made a fatal mistake!


    After all, being mid-air, unable to change direction swiftly, made for an easy target!


    Even if the opponent were a wizard, even capable of flight, they would definitely be clumsy at the start!


    This was his chance!


    “Secret Technique ― Beheading Strike!”


    He urately aimed at his enemy’s position, a trace of bloody Fighting Qi emerged on his de like octopus tentacles, ceaselessly dispersing outwards.


    Fighting Qi detached from the body!


    This was a realm only Silver Knights could reach!


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A smile also appeared at the corner of Su Lu’s mouth mid-air. With a tip of his foot, as if stepping on some invisible step in the void, he managed a turn with borrowed force.


    The next moment, Andrew’s all-in, confident strike was met with nothing but air, the red Fighting Qi light cutting through void.


    “What just happened?”


    Andrew was surprised, followed by a sudden pain in his back. A dagger had already plunged into a critical spot.


    While using his secret technique to wholly utilize Fighting Qi detached from the body, he was no longer able to use ‘Temporary Solidification’ to protect himself.


    [XP+180]


    After giving a quick nce at his attribute column, Su Lu had already leveled up his Agile Steps to LV4 much earlier when he umted 400 experience points!


    [Agile Steps LV4: Increase in shadow sneaking skill, capability to hide breath, gains effect of ‘Dance Step’]


    The so-called ‘Dance Step’ was the ability that Su Lu had just used to trick Andrew, which allowed him to freely change directions or sprint with borrowed force in the air.


    Although due to level restrictions, he could only make about three turns at most during a single flight, but one misjudgment was enough to kill a person. What more three times?


    With the current [Agile Steps LV4], Su Lu was confident that no city wall under the heavens could hold him!


    “Really… why bother?”


    He sighed while looking at the dead body of Andrew, picked up a quality warhorse, a set of armor, and a knight’s longsword, and continued his journey south.


    King’s Avenue gradually returned to peace.


    Soon, a passing traveller saw this scene. He was so frightened, he fell limp to the ground. But immediately after, gleam filled his eyes, and he rushed over, searching the bodies of the dead for every gold coin, copper coin, armor… if he met a greedy farmer, perhaps even their clothes would be stripped off and taken away.


    Of course, this traveler wouldn’t fare well either.


    When he arrived at Wolf Fort following the main road, he was instantly captured because of objects bearing the insignia of the North Territory knight team he had on him, thereby undergoing rigorous interrogation.


    Not long after, a team of knights rushingly made their way to the battlefield.


    The leader was a knight dressed in silver armor. He was about thirty years old, handsome, his tinum blonde hair shimmering under the sunlight, the man was like a deified being cast in silver.


    His name and title were widely known throughout the North Territory.


    ‘The Light of Silver’, ‘Silver Hand’, ‘Baron Bia’, ‘The North’s Most Talented Knight’, ‘Vice Commander of the North Territory Knight Team’!


    He was Rophis Biya!


    A third-level Silver Knight!


    But now, the coldness on Rophis’s face made the attending servants tremble as they stuttered, “Sir…we have found the bodies of Andrew, Mas, Roli, and others…”


    Andrew and his squadron were wiped out, including another knight!


    A tenth of the North Territory Knight Team’sbat strength was lost, perhaps even more!


    “How many years has it been…”


    Rophis’s voice was cold, like the ice of the north, “How many years since such a heinous incident has happened in the north? The culprit must be punished!”


    “In the name of The Light of Silver!”


    “Sir!”


    At that moment, more detailed information was delivered. A ck iron knight approached and respectfully said, “ording to the scene and the bodies… we found traces of witchcraft damage on them. There were also signs of a fight. From their wounds, it appears that the opponent used a short weapon like a dagger, very agile!”


    “So, the murderer is a wizard? Or also a thief?”


    Rophis responded calmly, “Andrew rashly led his squad to attack, he must have had a purpose. I want the answer by tonight!”
