The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

The battle continues.

Chad is a fully-starred Obsidian Assassin, how could he be defeated so easily by Hawkeye?

However, in his fight with Hawkeye, Chad was always on the defensive. He couldn't inflict any damage on Hawkeye, but Hawkeye was constantly wearing him down.

Assassins are most proud of their high burst damage skills, most of which can only be used to kill at close range. Chad's trump card move requires him to get close to Hawkeye to unleash it.

However, Hawkeye gave Chad no chance to get close. He kept Chad at a safe distance, preventing him from unleashing a super burst of power.

From this, Chad could see that his opponent was definitely an expert in combat.

From Hawkeye's ability to freely wield the Phantom Bow and his keen perception, Chad could deduce that the opponent's profession was likely a hunter.

Chad only knew of one other hunter of such power before: Hawkeye, one of the three heroes of the Empire.

Now, Chad knew the second one: the terrifying man standing before him.

While Hawkeye and Chad were locked in a fierce battle, other parts of the tavern were also in turmoil.

Just as Dora was about to head to the secret door, only thinking about capturing Helena, she was ambushed by Ella, who had been secretly following her.

Ella showed no mercy. Enveloped in spiritual energy and radiating a silvery glow, she aimed her longsword directly at Dora's heart and stabbed it through her back.

Then the longsword did indeed pierce in, but Ella felt no resistance whatsoever, as if she had only pierced air.

Then, Dora flashed and darted to a spot two meters away from Ella.

On the ground where Dora originally stood, there was an exquisitely folded paper figure made of yellow paper. The paper figure was only the size of a palm, and in the heart of the paper figure, there was an extremely uneven and huge hole.

“A premonition always makes me uneasy. Luckily, I was careful, or I would have really died just now. Miss Ella, you are really ruthless.”

Dora clutched her chest, feeling as if she had just escaped a disaster.

"Destiny-wielding professions aren't great at combat, but they have a ton of survival skills."

Ella looked at the paper figure and then at Dora, and immediately understood what was going on.

"That's not necessarily true. We can fight too, and our fighting strength is quite high."

Dora smiled playfully and took off her half-high silk hat, revealing her signature mushroom haircut.

Inside her hat, a small monkey with lead-gray fur, a yellowish belly, and jet-black eyes popped out.

When the little monkey peeked out and saw Ella, its dark eyes suddenly turned into a ferocious scarlet red, and all the fur on its body stood on end as if it had been electrocuted.

"Summoned Beast!"

Ella was stunned.

"Buts, it's up to you. Destroy her."

"Dora commanded."

Then the monkey named Butz jumped out of the top hat. Its muscles swelled up as if they were being inflated, and it grew to a height of two meters in a visible speed, becoming a strong and powerful gray-haired ape with a muscular body.

Buci pounded his yellowish chest, letting out a piercing growl. His sharp fangs, gleaming with a cold white light, were terrifying to behold.

Judging from their physical appearance, the slender Ella looked like a kitten next to a tiger in front of this transformed monkey.

Boutz charged at Ella like a madman. Ella parried with her sword, but when the sword struck Boutz, it was like hitting a steel plate with a blunt object; no damage was visible at all.

Seeing that Boutz had successfully restrained Ella, Dora did not hesitate. She put her hat back on her head and, guided by her spirit, prepared to continue forward.

However, a large group of thugs wielding long axes suddenly appeared in the corridor, blocking Dora's path...

"It's a barrier; we can't get out."

Helena glanced at the bright red fog barrier outside the door, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

When she and Hazel sensed something was wrong, they prepared to sneak away through the tavern's secret passage. However, when they opened the door, they discovered that the street outside was not a normal street at all. An invisible barrier blocked their way, preventing them from moving forward even an inch.

After several attempts, Helena finally understood what it was.

Faced with such a high-level barrier, there was nothing she could do but wait for those bastards to come and take her away.

then……

Then you will be handcuffed and shackled again, becoming a caged bird.

"I'm sorry, Helena, I thought it would be safer here than outside..."

Hazel blamed herself, saying that she was helpless against this barrier.

"No, it's not your fault. Even if I left alone yesterday, I was just looking for a hotel to stay in temporarily. The only difference is that I'm trapped in a hotel today, not a tavern."

Helena comforted her, saying that she had no intention of blaming Hazel at all. On the contrary, she was already very happy that Hazel was willing to come all the way from Guberlan to help her.

"Hayor, has Leon also come to Izero City?"

Not wanting to upset Hazel, Helena changed the subject.

"Yes, he set off a few hours before me and should be at the city government in Yiling now."

Hazel replied, and after a slight hesitation, she continued, "Actually, I didn't know you were in danger. It was Leon who secretly came to Hayden's mansion to tell you the news. I think... he must have gone to great lengths for you."

"That's it..."

Helena's beautiful face suddenly turned serious.

"Helena, there's something I'm curious about."

Hazel hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"You said."

Helena raised an eyebrow.

When did you and Leon get together?

Heyr spoke quickly.

"what?"

Helena froze, a hint of surprise on her face. "We're not together."

"Huh? Not together?"

Now it was Hazel's turn to be surprised. "Leon told me everything about you. Did nothing really happen between you two at the palace?"

"Relationship... Ah, Hazel, what are you thinking!"

Helena pondered Hazel's words for a moment, then her face flushed red. "That's not true at all!"

"Huh? He didn't touch you. I thought... you two had already slept together..."

Hazel stopped herself from saying what she was about to say.

"Really, Leon and I didn't have that kind of relationship!"

Helena tried to defend herself.

How can you be sure if you're not even aware of it?

"Uh... I had my doubts, but I held a mirror myself..."

Helena felt this topic couldn't continue; it was too embarrassing.

"Okay, he told me he loves you, and he didn't choose to possess you—I just have some suspicions that Leon did something bad to you."

Heyr explained.

"OK."

Helena was slightly speechless.

"Helena, do you like Leon?"

Hazel continued asking, her beautiful emerald eyes blinking slightly, as if she were expecting something or simply watching the show.

"This..."

This question troubled Helena, and for a moment, she felt she wanted to nod.

Just as Helena was struggling with whether or not she liked Leon, Leon himself had already arrived at the entrance of the Erm Tavern.

The appearance of a high-level barrier within a city will cause large-scale disturbances in spiritual energy.

Sensing something was wrong, Leon, along with the current commander-in-chief of the Izero City government's military—Knight Ferrandi—and a large number of troops, quickly rushed over.

"What's going on inside?"

Leon looked at the fat man, Peggy, who was being held captive by Ferrandi, and asked in a cold voice.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Melee (Part Two)

I don't think I've done anything particularly immoral lately, have I?

Why am I having such bad luck today?

Pei Qi mentally scrutinized himself.

After being kicked out by Hawkeye, he finally recovered and tried to escape, but was caught by government troops who arrived at the scene.

When his henchmen saw the government troops arrive, they all ran away as quickly as possible, resulting in only him being captured.

What exactly is going on inside?

Leon asked in a cold voice.

"Your Highness, I really don't know!"

Pei Qi wept bitterly.

“They all say you flew out from inside, don’t you know? If you can’t answer, or your answer is wrong, I’ll just treat it as a crackdown on organized crime and take care of you on the spot.”

Leon threatened.

"Your Highness, I'm truly innocent! All I know is that a very arrogant guy came and tried to seduce Ella, the owner of this tavern. I went up to him to kindly advise him against it, but that bastard kicked me out. I don't know what happened after that!"

Peggy is telling the truth, but he's not telling the truth either. First, it's just what he saw as the facts. Second, he's not offering well-intentioned advice; he's just being a sarcastic critic.

"Not honest yet?"

Leon's face was grim.

"Fine, actually I was kicked out because I wanted to provoke them."

Seeing that Leon was not going to give a perfunctory answer, Page quickly explained, "The man who kicked me out was tall and thin, with a stubble beard, and his dark eyes were particularly frightening. He said he was looking for Ella."

"there is none left?"

"Nothing."

"Men, take this scoundrel back to the dungeon and lock him up for a few days."

Seeing that Peggy didn't seem to be lying, Leon decided not to waste any more words with him, but he was also afraid that letting him go directly might cause some unexpected trouble.

After all, judging from the dark-skinned, chubby boy's appearance, Leon felt that this guy was definitely not an honest person.

"Your Highness, I am innocent! I am a law-abiding citizen, a truly law-abiding citizen!"

Peggy broke down in tears, but Leon ignored him completely. A while later, he was dragged away by the guards, and his shouts disappeared along with him.

I walked slowly to the entrance of the tavern.

After hesitating for a moment, Leon reached out and touched an invisible steel plate in the air.

So Leon activated his spiritual vision.

In the state of spiritual vision, all the surrounding scenery turned into various distorted orbs of light, while the tavern was tightly wrapped in a large mass of bright red, leaving no gaps.

"Is this a high-level barrier?"

Leon said to Ferlandy beside him.

"Yes."

Ferrandi also activated his spiritual vision at this moment, and the scene he saw was similar to what Leon saw.

Is there a way to break this barrier?

"Leon asked."

“The city government of Illinois cannot do it, but we can ask the border guards for help.”

Without hesitation, Ferrandi spoke with absolute certainty.
