"Drink! Aa ...
Diana leaped forward, gathering all the divine power within her into a bolt of lightning, which she then attached to her silver protective bracelet.
In that instant, time seemed to slow down. Diana's hands suddenly collided, and before the two silver protective bracelets could even touch, the silver lightning had already connected them tightly.
"Sister, help me..."
The male wizard couldn't even muster the thought of fighting her. She was a goddess descended from heaven; even a sorcerer god would be killed instantly if he were here.
The Phantom Witch naturally didn't want to see her brother killed. From the moment Diana gathered her divine power, she swung her arm, magic surged, and activated the magical weapon behind her.
The light from the magic gate surged, a pillar of energy shot into the clouds, and the huge circle surrounding it in the sky recharged at the same moment.
"Thunder!"
The ghostly witch roared, and a rumbling sound came from the sky. A bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl suddenly shot out from the clouds, punched a hole in the subway station, and crashed down in front of Diana.
"ah!...."
Diana was struck by lightning, and the divine power she had just gathered suddenly collapsed. Her entire body fell backward, and the reinforced concrete pillar behind her was shattered.
Before Xu Fu and Barry could react, another thunderclap resounded in the sky, this lightning bolt as powerful as a strike from Ares.
"Can they control the thunder in the sky?"
Barry's face turned deathly pale. Although he had been struck by lightning before becoming the Flash, this was not the same kind of lightning. If he had been struck by it himself, he would have been killed by this lightning that pierced his body.
Not everyone can withstand a lightning strike like Diana.
Wow!
Barry moved quickly, leaving a long trail of yellow lightning behind him, while thunder rumbled in the sky, contrasting sharply with the sparse lightning behind him.
It's almost like the difference between an ancient python and a young snake.
After dodging the lightning, Barry turned around abruptly and saw Xu Fu still standing in the same spot, facing the rumbling thunder, slowly raising his finger.
Don't be so ostentatious! This is my job. Even a body of steel can conduct electricity!
Thinking about this, Barry felt like his head was about to explode.
Chapter 286 The Pool of Lazarus
Supporting his aching back, the Ninja Master, with the assistance of two martial arts masters accompanying him, walked towards the Pool of Lazarus.
Kara didn't forget to remind him that Digger had to be released first.
But both Xu Fu and Batman shook their heads in unison.
Now that the Ninja Master has recovered, there's no point in talking about releasing him. If we don't release him, he'll break his own back.
After many twists and turns, the group entered a huge stone hall deep within the Assassin's Guild. The surrounding stone walls were carved with exquisite patterns, as if telling an ancient story.
Torches burned all around, and patrolling ghost planes took turns firing.
Inside the wall is a large circular pool made of stone bricks, which at first glance looks like a mud bath in a ravine.
But with two rows of candles lit around it, it looked rather forced.
That's it.
The ninja was carried by his trusted men and placed into a large pool of water.
The water in the pool was slightly murky and had a faint smell, as if it were disinfected water mixed with... pickled vegetables.
"The Pool of Lazarus, first mentioned in the Quran, is said to be the gate to Hell... but its water has healing power, bringing the dead back to life, giving them flesh and bones. It was because of this pool that I was able to escape death for so long..."
The ninja master dipped his finger in the pool for a while, then slowly stood up.
He moved his old back, and the intervertebral disc he had shattered seemed to have healed.
"Can you let Digger go now?" Xu Fu asked playfully, his gaze falling on Digger's old waist.
The ninja master looked up at his attendant, then waved his hand. The attendant bowed deeply to him and turned to leave.
As for the Ninja Master, he continued, "I have lived for hundreds of years, but I clearly feel that the power of Lazarus's Pool is gradually weakening within me, which means... my time may be expiring..."
More than ten years ago, when I met you, I had already decided to make you my successor, the new leader of the demon race, Lei Xiugu, but...
"Now I believe that only a true demon can become the leader of the demons and the head of the Assassin's Guild!"
After saying this, the Ninja Master turned his gaze to Kara, who was staring nervously at the Pool of Lazar. He guessed that the girl wanted to go up, but was too embarrassed to do so.
"You want Kara to become the successor to the Ninja Master?"
Batman appeared flustered; in his eyes, the League of Assassins was a bunch of lunatics.
Because he had to obey any order from the Ninja Master, even if it meant cutting off pieces of his own flesh without hesitation.
The brainwashing is complete!
The Ninja Master pursed his lips when he saw Batman abandon the name Kara. He walked over to Batman and said, "My time is running out, but my legacy will not end on dry bones. Lazarus Pool must have someone who can resist its temptations... and your apprentice, Kara-Zor, this young man has the ability and courage to protect this place and the justice of the League of Assassins..."
Batman still had an expression of disapproval on his face, but Xu Fu was somewhat moved. He roughly estimated that the Assassin's Guild had tens of thousands of warriors, the lowest level being the Upper White Layer, more than a hundred being the elite forces of the Lower Blue Layer, dozens being the middle level, and several being the high-level.
With such power, the city could be easily taken without sending troops.
According to the plot, after the death of the Ninja Master, Malcolm Merlin will lead the League of Assassins.
This guy is not a peaceful person. In order to provoke a conflict between Green Arrow and Master Ninja, he actually drugged his own daughter and killed White Canary.
Most importantly, these martial arts masters have absolute loyalty!
"Kara, what's your opinion?" Xu Fu asked Kara for her thoughts.
"Are they... all assassins?"
Kara was somewhat wary, because in her view, the members of the Assassin's Guild were all bad people.
"Although we are assassins, everyone we kill is guilty..."
When I first joined the League of Assassins, I had someone with me, Damian Dark. Initially, we all thought he would be the successor to the demons, but I was chosen by the former Ninja Master. I was supposed to kill him, but I let him go, taking his followers and Lazar with him. He was the other extreme of the League of Assassins. Damian Dark founded the organization Hive, and his goal was to conquer the world.
Unlike the League of Assassins, their goal is to fight violence with violence, and they basically don't appear in the world of ordinary people until a modern ninja master's head is blown off.
But Damian-Darkel was different. He mastered magic through an ancient idol, and his mind was corrupted by magic, turning him mad and dangerous.
Xu Fu waved his hand, interrupting the hot-tempered ninja master. "You're right, if Kara doesn't inherit the Assassin's Guild, there will be even more dangerous people targeting it."
"...Indeed, that's true." The Ninja Master nodded.
Batman is unlikely to inherit the League of Assassins, the Ninja Master is unaware that Green Arrow is still alive, and Kara is the most powerful person he has ever met, even though she is just a little girl.
The Ninja Master decided that Kara was a very good candidate.
“Kara is too young to take over the Assassin’s Guild, but... if the Assassin’s Guild obeys Kara’s orders 100%, perhaps we can consider it,” Xu Fu said, stroking his chin.
The ninja master looked at Xu Fu suspiciously, a bad feeling creeping into his heart. "You mean...gan?"
“What I mean is, Batman said we came here to destroy the League of Assassins, but now you want the League of Assassins to become an offshoot of the Justice League, so some rules have to be changed, at least to follow the rules of the Justice League.”
"you dare!"
The ninja master was so angry upon hearing Xu Fu's words that his beard trembled. In the eyes of the common people, he was like an ancient emperor, whose word was law, and it was impossible to subdue him now.
Xu Fu's body slowly floated into the air, his eyes suddenly turned purple, and two parallel beams of fire descended from the sky, crashing into the waters of Lhasa Pool with a thunderous roar.
In an instant, the icy pool water boiled, like a pot of boiling oil, steaming hot.
Xu Fu's eyes twitched, and the intense light faded.
Since the stone hall was already below, when the heat line passed through it, the ground instantly cracked and collapsed, blocking the source.
The ninja master watched this scene unfold, wanting to stop it, but to no avail.
Chapter 287 Do you have a spaceship?
The flames dimmed, Xu Fu closed his eyes, and the scarlet light gradually disappeared.
"Since you say that Lazarus Pool is the root of the League of Assassins, does destroying this root mean the destruction of the League of Assassins?"
The temperature rose significantly throughout the stone hall, filling the air with warmth.
The ninja master's gaze lingered on the sealed source, his heart pounding wildly. "You...did you destroy the source of Lazar Pool?"
"Leave one last spot, and you can dig up the collapsed ground and the spring will rise again, but only if you obey Kara's leadership 100% and become a member of the Justice League."
In fact, Xu Fu had no intention of holding back. He believed that if the League of Assassins was unwilling to join the Justice League, he would rather destroy it now than hand it over to Malcolm Merlin or Damian Dark.
But Xu Fu discovered that he was unable to destroy the Lazaris Pool.
Or rather, Xu Fu was unaware of the consequences of forcibly destroying the Pool of Lazaris.
Just before his thermal vision penetrated the pool, an energy barrier appeared 600 meters underground, blocking Xu Fu's thermal vision.
This energy barrier belongs to the magical dimension and cannot be seen through with the discerning eye.
The Ninja Master, unaware of Xu Fu's thoughts, sat half-reclined in front of Kara. Since Xu Fu couldn't comprehend this, he decided to directly entice Kara, saying, "Kara, if you are willing to inherit the will of the devil, you can gain immense power..."
“But I’m still powerful, even without inheriting the will of the demon?” Kara said, waving her little pink fist.
"..."
The ninja master Lei Zhenzi's lips twitched, his expression as if he had swallowed a fly. "You can also possess enormous resources, an army of absolute loyalty..."
