Through these days of close contact with Aurora, Ling Tian had come to understand this cold and elegant girl quite well. She was definitely a violent woman.
Including Aurora's attack methods, which were brutal and sharp, like the winter wind.
Aurora's ice-blasting energy was always explosive, instantly freezing opponents into ice sculptures before smashing them to pieces!
But this time, Ling Tian found that Aurora had changed! The extreme cold energy she released when using her moves this time was less than a fifth of her usual amount. This was very unlike Aurora's style.
Aurora smiled charmingly and explained.
"Since I can kill them with so little cold energy, why should I use so much?
Besides, the biggest flaw in my fighting style is its sustainability, so I need to use my cold energy sparingly."
Aurora's words were very practical. She had been reflecting on her combat methods recently, considering how to become stronger, and surprisingly, she had figured out some things.
Ling Tian nodded with a smile. This woman was truly intelligent and very talented in combat. Being able to understand her own flaws was a true gift.
"Also, I don't want these people to die too easily. I want to teach them a lesson and let them die in pain!" Aurora's words were as cold as ice, and the killing intent in her voice made Ling Tian understand that Aurora was still the same Aurora; her gentleness was only for him.
"Alright, let's go!"
Ling Tian extended his hand, took Aurora's, and they strode away.
It wasn't until half an hour later that other patrol members discovered the five corpses in the secluded alley!
By then, Ling Tian and Aurora had already arrived at the US delegation's encampment.
Ling Tian swaggered towards the Americans' encampment, but Aurora stopped him.
"What's wrong?" Ling Tian asked, confused.
"Ling Tian, shouldn't we observe the situation first?" Aurora said.
"Heh, is that necessary?" Ling Tian smiled.
Aurora also smiled upon hearing this. She now had great confidence in Ling Tian's strength.
Just as Ling Tian said, some things were simply not necessary!
So, the two walked into the Americans' encampment shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand.
However, the scene before them left them both stunned.
The perimeter of the US encampment was guarded by several Hell Icefire Island guards. This was a favor Langge had granted the Americans, and these guards were also tasked with monitoring the Americans.
Langge knew the Americans' nature well; expecting them to be obedient was impossible. Even Prometheus couldn't control these subordinates 100%.
But Aurora and Ling Tian now saw a ground covered in corpses!
The guards on the island were all hunched over, lying on the ground. Their skin was aged and dry, covered in age spots, and their hair had turned white and become sparse. In other words, these people had died of old age!
Ling Tian crouched down to examine the corpses, and his expression quickly turned extremely solemn.
"How is it, Ling Tian? What happened? What's going on with these people?"
"These people, they died of old age!"
"Died of old age? What does that mean? We didn't hire elderly people as security personnel on our island."
"Let me put it this way: the mitochondria in their bodies are gone, and their telomeres have no length left!
In other words, their cells can no longer divide, and their life force has been completely drained!
This is a very powerful sorcery! Or perhaps an ability!"
Aurora frowned. "But I don't recall any intelligence about anyone having such an ability."
"Heh, there are many people who hide their strength, and it's not impossible that someone came to the island and achieved breakthroughs and evolution by utilizing the spiritual energy of the island.
In any case, you must be extremely careful!"
Aurora nodded and then touched her chest. On her chest, besides the jade pendant Ling Tian had given her, there was also a small cloth bag containing three Vajra Talismans.
Ling Tian had told her that carrying this would help her resist a fatal attack once.
The two entered the US encampment, and as they went further in, more corpses appeared. Judging by their skin tone, these were all Americans, but regardless of whether they were black or white, their deaths were all the same!
Aurora frowned, as such a tragic way of dying was somewhat nauseating.
...
The US delegation's encampment was actually a villa complex, consisting of several villas. In the center of these villas was a quaint small garden.
And at this moment, in the garden, two people were confronting each other. They were separated by several meters, each hiding behind a stone statue.
One of these confronting individuals was Prometheus, and the person facing her was a woman with black hair and purple eyes. This woman was none other than Bice!
Prometheus was extremely frustrated. He had led a team of elite subordinates to assist Langge's guards in searching for Aurora in the Free Zone.
However, after searching for several days, they found nothing. Then, the earthquake began.
Helpless, Prometheus had no choice but to retreat with his subordinates to the Order Zone. As soon as he returned, he received devastating news: his trusted subordinates, Barnes and others, had been killed, and their deaths were extremely gruesome!
Prometheus was very puzzled, not knowing who had done it or what kind of bizarre method was used. Such unknown matters were the most terrifying.
However, it was at this moment that Bice came knocking. This woman had fallen into a state of madness. Since all the people she had good relationships with in the US delegation had been killed, she had no reservations.
Upon seeing a living person, she immediately threw a black ball of light, and those hit by the black ball of light rapidly weakened, aged, and finally died miserably.
What was even more terrifying was that Bice could also release those black beams of light, which could absorb others' mental energy to replenish her physical strength and energy!
This was truly deadly; this woman had become a killing machine that could run indefinitely!
She could even release five black balls of light simultaneously, attacking five different targets!
The cost of killing these five people, Bice could completely recover by draining the life force of just two people with her black beams!
Prometheus and his subordinates were in a meeting and were caught completely off guard. He watched helplessly as his trusted subordinates were killed one by one, without even a chance to resist!
