Ling Tian returned to the shore and met up with A Li. The two whispered to each other, and Ling Tian assigned A Li a task.
"A Li, there shouldn't be any good people on the island."
A Li nodded, "I think so too."
"In that case, we must eradicate evil completely. You work hard too. We'll split up. I allow you to use all sorts of methods to attack them! Not a single bad person must leave Mermaid Island alive!"
"Great, I love it!"
"Also, while ensuring your safety, leave a few survivors. Just barely alive is fine. I need to get valuable intelligence from them to catch this entire group of wicked cultivators!"
"That's not as fun. If I can't go all out, I might as well not act at all," A Li pouted.
"Don't fuss. How about this? You can kill the small fry however you want, but leave the big fish for me!"
"That works too!"
After agreeing, the two parted ways and began their cleanup operation. Ling Tian decided to act now because he didn't want to be disturbed by these wicked cultivators when he was breaking through the formation.
On a beach, several members of the Heavenly Demon Sect were pulling up their pants with satisfaction. They had just eliminated a small team of seven or eight people, which included a female ability user whose tragic fate was predictable. The Heavenly Demon Sect members had no morals; they were a group of inhuman devils driven by desire.
"Wow, that felt great! I was so pent up at sea these past few days!"
"Haha, Big Brother is still vigorous... Uh..."
As one Heavenly Demon Sect disciple spoke, he saw three sharp blade tips suddenly emerge from his chest. His companions felt something was wrong and were about to warn their comrade to be alert when sharp blades slashed across their throats. Immediately after, a blur flashed, and two sharp claw-like blades plunged into the chests of two others! All of this happened in the blink of an eye, in less than a second! Four Heavenly Demon Sect members were instantly killed.
The remaining Heavenly Demon Sect disciple was more than ten meters away from his companions. Seeing the dire situation, he immediately turned and fled.
"Whoosh... Bang!"
A whistling sound like a cannonball came, and a hammer covered in crackling electricity embedded itself directly into the man's head. His corpse heavily fell to the ground, but the hammer vanished. At this moment, a pretty figure stood in place, gritting her teeth as she looked at the bodies of the adventurers on the ground.
"These scoundrels, they deserve to die!"
The one who had attacked was naturally Miss A Li. Facing a thousand-year-old cat demon, these Heavenly Demon Sect disciples were no match for A Li even in a direct confrontation, let alone being ambushed by her.
A few kilometers away, on another beach, several scorched corpses lay on the ground. These Heavenly Demon Sect disciples were looking for targets when several fireballs suddenly flew towards them. They were caught completely off guard and were engulfed by a wall of fire. The combined effect of several explosive fire talismans left these Heavenly Demon Sect disciples no chance to retaliate. However, one of them had a deeper cultivation and wore a jade pendant that could release a shield. The jade pendant instantly shattered upon being attacked, releasing a shield that absorbed most of the flames.
Yet, before the flames even dispersed, a fiery red sword directly pierced the man's throat. Ling Tian retracted his Crimson Flame Sword into its sheath and walked towards a patch of bushes. However, Ling Tian seemed unaware that a transparent figure was silently following him a few meters behind. This invisible person was none other than Gui Sha, one of the elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect! Gui Sha did not act with others; he was a lone wolf assassin who always kept to himself. He would find his targets and launch surprise attacks, aiming for a swift kill.
As he reached this beach, he saw Ling Tian ambush and kill several members of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Gui Sha's eyes lit up with excitement. Killing ordinary ability users brought him little thrill; only ambushing powerful opponents gave him a sense of accomplishment. For the perverted Gui Sha, killing was now merely a form of entertainment.
Suddenly, a slight smile appeared on Gui Sha's lips because he saw Ling Tian in front of him enter the bushes, walk to a large tree, and then unbuckle his pants, seemingly about to relieve himself. For assassins, the target's moment of using the restroom was always the best opportunity for an ambush. At such times, the target would typically relax and lower their guard. Moreover, when attacked while relieving themselves, the target would be caught off guard and killed in a state of utter helplessness, which would be a very frustrating end for anyone.
Gui Sha's figure rapidly closed in, and the slender short sword in his hand directly pierced Ling Tian's back. However, instead of the sensation of a blade piercing flesh, he felt his sword penetrate something and then embed itself in wood! As an experienced assassin, Gui Sha immediately sensed something was wrong. He tried to withdraw his hand, but it was too late. With a bang, something exploded! It was only then that Gui Sha discovered his target had vanished, and what his sword had pierced was actually a balloon the size of a watermelon.
The balloon instantly burst, and the liquid inside doused him completely! At this moment, Gui Sha's invisibility skill also completely disappeared! Although his invisibility could make his close-fitting clothes and weapons invisible, he was utterly helpless against this sticky paint. Furthermore, even if he could still hide his presence, the pungent smell of the paint was something he couldn't get rid of in a short time!
Just then, Gui Sha heard a mocking voice from behind him. "I never expected this, never expected to encounter such an important figure." Immediately after, a talisman was stuck to Gui Sha's back, releasing a large amount of electricity. Gui Sha used all his strength to resist the electric current but found his body completely immobile. After enduring the discharge of electricity, another talisman was stuck to him. Ling Tian was ruthless, throwing three lightning talismans onto his back consecutively! For an ordinary person, one such lightning talisman would be fatal. Gui Sha, after being hit by three, did not die, but his heart and nervous system suffered severe damage. Especially his nervous system, which had become disordered under the effect of the electricity, causing his body to twitch uncontrollably in the paint on the ground.
"If I'm not mistaken, you are the notorious lone wolf of the assassin world, Gui Sha!"
