Chapter 1732: Chapter 526: Ambushing and Killing the 40 Bandit Leaders, So Many Treasures_2

Leonard Churchill was thinking when he suddenly noticed a stealth assassin entering the house, and he suddenly shouted loudly, "My lord, be careful!"

The "Forty Thieves" never leave survivors in their robberies; entering the door means they’re ready to kill first and then act.

Sophia Jones and the peacock had already noticed it, but did nothing.

Because Leonard Churchill had already rushed to the transparent shadow, and in order not to let anyone figure out his technique, he didn’t use a lethal move, but sent two cards flying with a raise of his hand: "Curse Art: Flame Thorns!"

It was just a common Seventh Order Curse Technique.

In an instant, the room suddenly filled with intertwining flames, and large patches of fiery vines erupted from the floor.

Because it covered the entire room, the stealth assassin was caught off guard and revealed his form.

Leonard Churchill raised his hand and threw two [Secret Fire Bomb Technique] at him.

However, a miraculous scene happened; it seemed the assassin was also there to test them and was prepared. In the moment he was bound, his body became ghost-like transparent again, and three fire bombs passed through him.

Seeing this spell, Leonard’s eyes slightly narrowed: "Ghostly Shadow Stealth? So it’s ’Ghost Hand’ Moladin."

He was very familiar with the intelligence of Giant Spirit City, especially those frequently appearing on the wanted list.

This guy was ruthless, skilled in Death Spirit Stealth Technique and could appear and disappear like a ghost, never caught till now.

Leonard initially thought this guy was ingenious, only to realize now that he was from the "Forty Thieves."

It’s said that the main forces in this gang, all forty of them, are Advanced Card Masters of Fourth Tier or higher, each proficient in their own domains.

Leonard had no interest in killing a Sixth-Order assassin, but instead, he shouted loudly towards Sophia Jones: "My lords, we are trapped in a barrier, let’s hurry!"

Sophia Jones then draped a cloak over her, covering her entire face.

The Peacock did the same, covering the face with a long robe, completely obscuring the features.

Not everyone is as good at acting as Leonard, especially against such a weak enemy, it is difficult for the two women to show panic.

Luckily, since they covered their faces, it was not so easy to reveal flaws.

The assassin, hearing that the three were planning to run, sneered coldly and suddenly threw several green poison bottles that smashed on the ground.

The gas from the bottles had strong neurotoxic properties and could slowly permeate through the Magic Shield.

Leonard tested it slightly and immediately felt burning and numbness on his skin, chuckling lightly: "Quite professional indeed..."

This toxin was top-notch goods, even a Seventh-Order Card Master could get poisoned, if not killed, at least it would be very troublesome.

With that in mind, Leonard pretentiously took out a card: "Domain·Flame Disaster."

The best way to deal with toxins was using the Domain.

The Myriad Aspects Domain can decompose everything, naturally simulating a simple Flame Domain was not out of the question.

As soon as Leonard opened his Domain, he led Sophia Jones and the Peacock charging out the door.

As soon as they got out, several dark lights pierced through the air instantaneously.

Upon closer inspection, those were five Cursing Crossbow Bolts.

"Tsk tsk, Seventh-Tier [Break Gang Magic Arrow]? Good stuff there..."

Leonard was not surprised at all, rather he was interested in identifying this standard demonic-breaking equipment from the Holy Church’s Holy Dragon Corps.

One bolt alone was worth one hundred thousand gold; though it might be cheaper in the Black Market, five bolts were a heavy investment indeed.

Breaking Gang Break Law, coupled with a surprise attack, could easily trap low-defense Seventh-Tier individuals.

From the assassin throwing poison bottles to drive them out of the room, Leonard had guessed they would encounter a trap. But such demonic breaking crossbow arrows were somewhat effective against typical Seventh-Tiers, but useless against him.

Leonard normally wouldn’t have done anything as these bolts couldn’t breach his current Gang Air, but currently, he was posing as a Fire Element Card Master, and hadn’t revealed too much.

With a sharp "whoosh" sound, he managed to deflect four bolts, but one still penetrated his shoulder.

Sophia Jones was already accustomed to this, and followed as they charged out.

However, Peacock’s crystal eyes showed some confusion: Could this thing actually harm that guy?

Leonard was like a prey caught in a trap, fully intent on rushing out of the barrier.

He was just hit by an arrow when several Sword Airs attacked him.

Seeing this Sword Air, Leonard knew a Seventh Rank was approaching.

The Sword Air was odd, cutting through the air not only breaking the wind but also had a pull that seemed to tug at the soul.

"A demon blade?"

Leonard immediately realized the situation could only be due to a peculiar property of the weapon.

He quickly used the Flame Domain to form a shield, blocking the Sword Air.

However, his soul shivered slightly.

Leonard’s soul was strong and unaffected, but this strike was enough to deter an ordinary Seventh Rank momentarily.

He wanted to see who the enemy was, so he feigned a stiff expression.

Turning his head, he saw from the darkness a masked man wielding a blade emitting dark energy, swinging it towards him.

Leonard recognized this blade as ranked eighty-second among the "Southern Continent Top Hundred Evil Weapons List," which had appeared in the recent century—[Ghost Blade·Night Soul Blade]!

"Oh, this gang really has some good stuff..."

Leonard had seen those sinister weapons in the library before and had specifically taken note of them.

The effect of this blade was that its strikes were accompanied by attacks from vengeful spirits, affecting the divine soul. The more it killed, the more vengeful the air, the greater its power.

Seeing the readiness, this guy’s blade had indeed claimed many souls.

If Leonard remembered correctly, this blade had once been in the hands of a minor noble, who was annihilated because of it.

This was no ordinary thief gang; the "official thief" was firmly established.
