Chapter 555: Encounter with Assassins Again

    

w how you guys eat it."R ripples glanced at the bloody steak on the table and said disdainfully."I had the kitchen send some refreshments to Miss Ripple."Henry immediately said, then glanced at the si...Lian Yi stayed at the Lian family for a night, took some things that Lian Si had left behind in the family, and then prepared to leave.

Actually, she could see that the Lotus family still wanted to get close to Ripples, but because they hadn't been in touch for a long time, both sides were strangers. Even though they were related by blood, it wasn't enough to help Ripples quickly become familiar with them.

"The lotus master, please return!"

The ripples carry Li Yayi and Lian Sheng bids farewell.

"When you're training on the Eastern Continent, be careful. Those invaders haven't caught them all yet."

Lotus reminded him once more.

"I understand!"

Ripple nodded in agreement, taking the first step out of the Lotus family's gate. In the next instant, a magic circle formed beneath her feet, and she vanished within it.

"Young Master!"

La Ye's expression changed drastically, she grasped her magic staff and struck directly where the magic circle had disappeared, immediately tracking the destination of the teleportation magic circle.

Lian Sheng's face changed instantly, it was obvious that someone had set an ambush beforehand, using a magic teleportation array to take Lian Shao Ye away. And they did it right at the doorstep of the Lian family, framing them so obviously it was practically written on the gate of their home.

Lian Sheng is a great mage, his reaction speed is much faster than Lai Ye's. While Lai Ye is tracking the direction of the magic circle, Lian Sheng has already released a lotus-shaped firework and then touched the ground with his magic staff, his figure also disappeared afterwards, following the direction of the ripples.

A moment later, another mage of the Lian family and a paladin appeared at the doorway, pulling back Raje who was about to pursue. They asked:

"What happened Why did the head of the household send out a distress signal!"

"My young master was teleported away from your Lian family's gate by a magic circle. The head of my family followed the magic circle and went after him. I'm going to find my young master too, don't stop me."

After La Ye finished speaking, she used her magic wand to cast a Rodelman family crest into the air and then instantly disappeared using a magic circle.

"It seems someone wants to harm Young Master Rhoden, but they want to use our Lotus Family as a scapegoat. We absolutely cannot let them get away with it!"

"The head of the house left a mark, I'll take you to support him."

Lian Jia's elder drove a magic array, followed closely by their own holy knights, and vanished.

The ripples knew that it was their older brother who had cast the abruptly appearing magic circle, but this time he'd gone all out with a spell of archmage level. They really were proud of him.

As far as he knew, everyone around Emilio had been replaced, and his resources had been restricted. It was quite impressive that he could still find such a powerful mage to deal with the original him.

But when the ripples appeared in one dungeon, it was clear this wasn't something Emilio could have done. It had to be the Kenny family behind him, because only with the original owner dead would Emilio become the sole heir of the Rodman family.

Only Emilio, who is close to the Kenny family, can secure greater benefits for them.

These thoughts flashed past in an instant, not affecting the ripples' response at all. In a moment of unwavering stability, Lei Yao Jian was already grasped in her hand, and with a single strike, she unleashed it, imbued with the power of lightning, shattering the magic array that had ensnared her.

At the moment of the other's astonishment, Lian Ri's divine consciousness transformed into a needle and directly pierced the other's brow, shattering their soul.

The Great Mage fell to the ground with a thud. This sudden turn of events shocked the crowd gathered outside the cage. They quickly reacted, charging in with their weapons drawn and releasing their phantom beasts, ready to attack Ripple.

The corners of her lips curled into a ripple, directly releasing the pressure from her soul. Then, she channeled her knightly power into Lei Yao Sword and leapt into the crowd attacking her, sword in hand.

The ripple of divine power exploded, and the knights being besieged may not have felt it yet, but their Phantasmal Beasts certainly did. The feeling of danger sent shivers down their spines, causing their attacks to be a beat slower than usual.

That was the slow-down, giving ripples an opportunity to seize their chance and successfully kill their master. With the master dead, the phantom beast let out a howl and vanished as a streak of light back into the pitch-black dungeon, returning to the phantom beast space.

After Lotus broke open a section of the abandoned courtyard's protective magic circle, she was met with the pungent smell of blood. The ground was littered with corpses, and Lotus was seen battling a holy knight.

The ripples on the white robe were now stained crimson, and his body bore dozens of wounds, big and small. But he still faced the paladins calmly, sword in hand.

Lian's face turned pale with anger. This shameless paladin dared to attack Lian, a minor Golden Knight. Did he really think everyone in the Lian family was dead

Lian Sheng first threw out a protective magic array, shielding Lian Ri. Then, she directly summoned a golden elemental magic array, trapping the paladin within it. Countless golden blades rose from the magic array, encircling the paladin and starting to attack in a spiral pattern, just like a meat grinder, leaving the paladin overwhelmed and unable to defend himself.

The protected ripples finally let out a sigh of relief. She immediately guzzled down potions, healing potions, blood replenishing potions, and stamina supplements - anything that could help her recover right now. She gulped them all down one by one. Then, she took out her lotus magic staff from her spatial storage, inserted it into the ground, and sheltered herself within its protection as she began to recover peacefully.

Before Lian Sheng arrived, she fought her way out of the dungeon. She was on a roll and these people underestimated her strength. The high mage was taken down by surprise, and without his help, these people just rushed forward blindly, trying to hack her to death with their swords.

But as the apex of Kunning Xianzong's combat power, Lian Yi had never been afraid to face enemies. Her Lei Yao Sword, empowered by the strength of a knight, led the way. After her internal power was depleted, she used divine power to activate a hard-fought mode, charging all the way to the ground until she was blocked by this holy knight.

Because opportunities to fight paladins are rare, Ripple roared and charged forward with her sword, engaging the opponent in a fierce battle.

The Paladin's strength, swordsmanship, and combat skills had all risen to a new level. Coupled with the buff from his phantom beast companion, Ripple had to muster 120% of her mental fortitude to keep up. Even then, she was wounded, on top of the injuries she sustained while charging in. She looked rather disheveled overall.

Actually, she had just run out of strength. Her wounds looked serious, but they were all injuries she had consciously avoided targeting vital areas. All things considered, she could still hold on, but after seeing Lian Sheng, she chose to focus on recovery first.

The second to arrive was La Ye. Seeing Lian Yi covered in blood, sitting on the ground, La Ye's eyes turned red. After her magic staff touched the ground, she directly summoned a wind element magic array, trapping the Saint Knight's three-headed dog within it and unleashing the strongest attack.

Right after the blacksmith, came Lian Jia's Great Mage and Holy Knight. With their arrival, even the last Holy Knight who had injured Ripples met his demise. In the end, the assassination attempt against Lian Rodman ended with the complete annihilation of their forces.e joking with him. Sometimes, due to the needs of the investigation, it is normal for investigators to report to the station after tracking down suspects for a few days.But a veteran of the Criminal I...
