“Almost there!” Qin Lun slowly stood up from the sofa.

Most of the surveillance projections in front of him had already been blacked out. Although he had tried his best to reduce the number of projections, the energy consumption of the surveillance equipment was still clean after a few days. Currently, there were only a few projections and images, and they flickered and could turn black at any time.

A peculiar light flashed in the little mute’s eyes as he jumped to Qin Lun’s side. After becoming an apostle, she had somewhat untied her knot and was no longer on guard against Qin Lun like before.

“You can’t go. In that kind of battle, I can’t care about you.” Qin Lun looked at her and shook his head. Without waiting for her to speak, he continued, “I’ve already remembered the sewer route to that place. There’s no need for you to lead the way. Stay here and wait for the city war to end.”

Qin Lun’s eyes were clear. He squatted down and pinched the little mute’s face. He smiled and said, “If I die, you can join the Demon Horn City by yourself. Find the elves or the demons. They will take you to my residence. There are two of my companions there. You can follow them!”

“Yaya!” The little mute shouted twice and patted Qin Lun’s head like a small adult. This time, she did not insist on following Qin Lun. She seemed to know that if she barely followed him, she would become a burden for the youth.

“I’ll be back!” Qin Lun smiled and stood up. He walked into the depths of the sewer without looking back.

The young man dashed through the sewer, heading in a certain direction. He thanked Atlantis’s urban architects for giving him a chance to play tricks because of the city’s extensive sewerage network.

In fact, it wasn’t that the apostles didn’t want to take advantage of the city’s sewerage network at the beginning of the battle for supremacy. However, the Holy City of Atlantis was huge, with layers of sewers. It was a three-dimensional structure. Apart from the weird combination of mute and squirrel, even natives find it hard to figure out the maze of sewerage networks.

Why did the six warring experts feel that there was no possibility of an ambush of a third party at the duel site? It was precisely because they subconsciously believed that no apostles could take advantage of the underground network that stretched out in all directions.

The battle between the six great experts had already been going on for more than ten minutes. It could be said that all three groups of people had begun to fight with true fire, and the battle was going on exceptionally fiercely and excitedly.

At first, Qin Lun had chosen the assassin and the bald MT as his best targets, but after watching the battle for more than ten minutes, he had no choice but to change his mind. This battle, which he had originally believed to be the most likely to result in both losses, had actually taken on a one-sided situation.

Bald MT Liu Biao was no match for the assassin, although his ability to counter injuries and his exceptionally high physique caused some trouble for the assassin. However, it was only a problem. In this battle, this powerful assassin once again displayed superior combat strength.

Originally, this assassin had given the other apostles the impression of a powerful and violent explosion of damage. In the early stages, almost no one was able to last for three minutes under his control. However, it also gave others a feeling that their endurance was not strong. After all, everyone generally believed that the stronger the explosive power, the less likely it would last for a long time.

However, his battle with the Anti-Injury MT displayed a different fighting style. After the assassin replaced the powerful knife, fork, and dagger with a saw blade, his explosive power decreased by a lot, but his ability to endure damage increased to an unbelievable level.

The saw-blade dagger had a strong ability to bleed damage, and the assassin’s fighting style had also exploded from an instant to an infiltrating attack from the gentle breeze and drizzling rain. Every time he attacked, he would only leave a shallow wound on the bald man, no longer chasing after a single explosive blow.

However, with the passage of time, the bald man began to suffer from bruises all over his body. Even the recovery ability brought about by muscle control could no longer heal his shattered body, and he began to bleed continuously.

Although the bald MT had yet to lose its fighting spirit and perhaps had one or two hidden trump cards, Qin Lun felt that his defeat was unavoidable. Even if he used all of his trump cards, it wouldn’t cause any trouble for the assassin. However, the bald MT’s stamina was extremely high, so there should still be a chance for him to take the initiative to cancel the invitation in the end.

However, this way, the damage to the assassin would be very small, and Qin Lun really didn’t have the confidence to take advantage of it. Even if he liked adventures that were more exciting, it was inevitable that he would lose interest in a battle that had a 90% chance of failing.

Apart from this battle, the battle between Long Feng and the puppet master had also reached a climax. After the puppet master had used three steel statues, Long Feng would not be able to easily destroy the lower quality puppets.

It was mainly because the magic crystal cannons of the three steel statues were too powerful, and they would be severely injured if they suffered a single blow, so he had no choice but to speed up again. Even if he could cut off the connection between the puppet and the puppet master, he didn’t dare to risk destroying the puppet.

However, both Long Feng and the Puppet Master knew that this situation would not last. It all depended on whether Long Feng had made a mistake in the high-speed battle or whether the golem master’s steel statue had consumed the Light Magic Crystal first. Whoever can last longer will win the final victory.

In this battle, the two great experts might both lose, but Qin Lun still felt that it was very difficult for him to take advantage of them. The reason for that was because he predicted that the battle would not end.

Although Long Feng and the Puppet Master’s fighting spirit was currently high, from the looks of it, the two of them still needed to fight for more than half a day before they could decide whether to win or lose. As time went by, the two of them should choose to stop fighting. After all, their current profits were not bad. As long as they realized that the price of winning was too heavy, they probably wouldn’t have the determination to kill them.

Under such circumstances, if Qin Lun appeared in front of them, he might attract the siege of the two of them. Especially the swordsman Long Feng, he would definitely recognize him as the murderer of Qin Ba. The Puppet Master would also realize that he was the culprit behind the duel between the two of them. At that time, it was equivalent to throwing himself into a trap. Taking such a risk was not worth it.

Hence, Qin Lun was rushing to participate in the Battle of the Strong. Instead, it was the duel between the kung fu girl Monroe and the female knight Yin Shi, which had previously received the least attention.

When Qin Lun analyzed the situation, he predicted that if this battle really happened, it would be quite popular from the start. But he really didn’t expect it to be as popular as it is now.

As he had expected, the female knight Yin Shi chose to make breakthroughs. From the beginning, she erupted with great combat strength and directly killed two of Monroe’s followers, forming a one-on-one battle with Monroe.

This battle gave Qin Lun an extremely exciting feeling. The reason why the Monroe trio had fallen into this situation was actually mainly due to their own mistakes. In the past ten days or so, they had been so smooth that their confidence had inflated too much.

If they hadn’t purposely trapped their opponent from the start, they wouldn’t have surrounded the female knight in three different directions. No matter how powerful the female knight’s explosive power was, it would probably be very difficult to kill the two apostles in a row. She forcefully turned the situation of being outnumbered into a one-on-one duel with Monroe.

Of course, the female knight Yin Shi’s actions had also planted a huge bomb in this battle. Monroe, who had no time to rescue his companions, was greatly stimulated. The battle maniac had completely exploded, and a tentative battle had turned into an endless decisive battle.

The female knight who had killed two people in succession in the early stages of the battle was at a disadvantage after facing Monroe alone. Monroe’s martial skill was the leg technique, and he had also cultivated an air stepping technique. He was able to dodge freely in the air and wasn’t afraid of the powerful charging skill of the female knight.

However, although Monroe had suppressed Yin Shi, there was nothing he could do to the female knight in a short period of time. The tortoise shell on the knight’s body was too thick, and his defense was astonishing. Just relying on his martial arts skills, he could only slowly reduce his opponent’s health.

In fact, if there was no third party involved in this battle, then the two of them could only shake hands and make peace in the end. Facing Monroe, the knight lacked agility and dexterity. Although Monroe could slowly tangle with her opponent, her physical strength was limited after all. Once time dragged on, she had no choice but to retreat strategically.

If under normal circumstances, Qin Lun was also unable to interfere in this battle, otherwise, it would attract the combined attacks of the two of them.

However, the situation was different now. The female knight had brazenly killed two of Monroe’s companions. Their battle was not only for the invitation letter and treasure map fragments, but also for grudges. They could no longer work together against a third party.

“Bang! Bang!” Just as the two of them were exhausted, gunshots suddenly sounded from the field. The two bullets drew a bow-shaped arc in the air and shot towards Monroe from the side.

Monroe had just dodged the female knight’s rifle with his air-stepping footwork, and when he sensed the strong wind coming from his side, his expression sank. The kung fu girl was a kung fu girl. Even though her strength was old, she still twisted her waist and rolled in the air, dodging the trajectory of two bullets.

However, something unexpected happened. The curves of the two bullets were actually not the same. One was even larger, while the other was slightly flattened, creating an intersection at the end of the ballistic trajectory.

Dang! With a crisp sound, the two bullets collided. One of the bullets changed its trajectory and shot towards Monroe’s right ankle.

Monroe rolled in the air. Although she did not see the bullet collide with her own eyes, her perception was still alarming. The girl raised her eyebrows high, a trace of surprise appearing on her face. Her upper body was raised again, and she could cover her ankles with her arms.

“Pu!” Blood splattered all over Monroe’s palm, and a hole was drilled in it. The girl snorted and rolled on the ground. She clutched her hands and stood up, looking at her right angrily.

The female knight, Yin Shi, also stopped and looked vigilantly along Monroe’s line of sight. She saw a figure slowly standing behind a bench in the park.

Qin Lun had a smile on his face as he praised Monroe in his heart. When he shot, he didn’t expect the refracted bullet to be aimed at Monroe’s ankle. There was a certain amount of luck in it. This kung fu girl’s dexterity really opened his eyes. It was as if if it was him, he would definitely not be able to dodge the refractive bullet that had been craftily angled just now.

At that time, not only was Monroe in the air, he had also changed his movement twice. In such a situation, he could even block the bullet with his palm to avoid injuring his ankle. This was truly a miraculous skill. He was extremely sensitive.

“Hmph, rat! Since you want to interfere in our battle, I’ll kill you first!” Monroe’s eyes lit up. He bent down and gave up chasing after the female knight and rushed towards Qin Lun.
