Yulia and Ling Tian were fighting on the beach. She suddenly flicked her hair, sending it straight towards Ling Tian's face!
This surprise killing move was definitely aimed at ending his life!
Yulia had already made up her mind. Today, even if she had to sustain serious injuries, she would find a way to kill Ling Tian. This man knew too much!
However, things did not develop as simply as she had imagined. From the moment they started fighting, Ling Tian had been fully focused, even using his Heavenly Eye Divine Sense to observe his opponent.
Ling Tian's several masters, especially his sixth master Yan Yu, had repeatedly warned him not to underestimate a female opponent.
Throughout history, countless heroes had fallen because they underestimated women and became careless during battles with them, only to be killed!
Ling Tian did not want to make such a mistake. The moment he sensed the opponent's movement, he immediately unleashed a flying kick, striking Yulia directly on the lower back.
Ling Tian did not use a killing blow. He only exerted thirty percent of his strength, kicking Yulia away. He also used the force of this kick to propel himself rapidly backward, creating a distance of over two meters between them.
Yulia's back was nearly broken by the kick. She lost her balance in mid-air and crashed heavily onto the sand, while Ling Tian landed steadily.
Ling Tian showed mercy not because he coveted Yulia's beauty or out of excessive kindness, but because he believed that by letting Yulia return and relay the false intelligence he had displayed to her today, it would sow panic among the forces of unorthodox paths!
The reason they dared to act recklessly was that they operated in the shadows. But now, their days were numbered, and their situation was exposed!
Especially with the Gu King falling into the hands of the Righteous Path Alliance, this incident was like a nuclear explosion. It would surely throw the higher-ups of the Heavenly Demon Sect into disarray. Once they were in chaos, their pre-arranged plans would be difficult to execute!
This was precisely what Ling Tian wanted: to create panic!
Furthermore, another reason he showed mercy was that even on the beach, there were numerous surveillance cameras. Ling Tian had already spotted Royce, accompanied by a group of guards from Ice Fire Island, rushing towards them from hundreds of meters away.
Ling Tian smiled and walked directly towards Yulia. Yulia raised her hand to stab him, but Ling Tian was quick. He seized her wrist, pinning her vital point.
Yulia cried out in pain as her hands were gripped, and the dagger fell to the ground. Ling Tian then casually kicked the dagger into the sea.
Immediately after, he flipped over, pinning Yulia's arms behind her back, and then used his body weight to press her down. They both ended up face down on the sand.
At this moment, Royce and his group arrived. They were stunned by the sight of the man and woman's position.
"Mr. Ling Tian, what are you doing!" Royce demanded.
"What do you think we're doing?" Ling Tian replied irritably.
"Our duty officers saw you two fighting on the surveillance video."
"Is he blind? What nonsense is he talking about? This isn't fighting, this is foreplay, don't you understand!" Ling Tian said, rolling his eyes.
Royce was taken aback. He wasn't sure if Ling Tian was telling the truth. After all, some people did have very strange hobbies, and their current positions were indeed quite intimate.
"Miss, is Mr. Ling Tian telling the truth?" Royce shifted his focus and directly asked Yulia.
With her arms pinned behind her and Ling Tian's knee pressing against her lower back, Yulia was in a very uncomfortable position. She forced a smile.
"Of course. Ling Tian and I have some special hobbies. You know, it's a kind of mood..."
Despite her discomfort, Yulia's acting skills were excellent, and she ultimately convinced Royce.
Royce looked them over with suspicion and then said, "You must remember the island's rules and not repeatedly challenge them. I will be watching you. If you cross the line, I will not let you off!"
"Alright, alright, I get it. Stop nagging and disturbing our brief moments of joy!"
Ling Tian released his grip and stood up, waving his hand impatiently.
Yulia also seized the opportunity to stand up. She was hesitant, unsure whether to continue acting and move closer to Ling Tian, or to flee far away from this dangerous man.
"Come here, woman!" Ling Tian's voice reached her. Yulia's body trembled violently. She felt as if she had developed a psychological scar and could not seem to disobey Ling Tian's command.
So, Yulia obediently walked to Ling Tian's side, and Ling Tian immediately put his arm around her waist.
Seeing them in this state, Royce finally believed that their earlier fight was merely due to "foreplay."
After Royce left, Ling Tian finally released his arm from around Yulia's waist. Yulia felt as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted from her.
"Alas, a beauty, yet a bandit!
I'll give you a piece of advice: leave this island within three days, and you'll have a slim chance of survival. If you remain stubborn, you might not be able to leave this island alive.
You can also pass this message on to your companions, though I suspect they will choose death! Because they are all lunatics."
With that, Ling Tian turned and walked away along the coastline.
Yulia stood stunned. When Ling Tian spoke those words, his eyes were clear, and his tone was sincere.
Yulia realized that she truly couldn't see through this man. All her life, she had learned how to manipulate men, how to control them with ease.
But today, she had been thoroughly defeated by a man in every aspect!
...
On Ice Fire Island, at the American encampment, two people lay on a stretcher. One was Bruce Lee, his face bloody from being hit with a wine bottle, and the other was his henchman, Howard.
Howard was unconscious, his left forearm missing.
These two had been forced to pay millions in ransom before being released.
The American doctors quickly attended to them. The doctor carefully picked out the shards of glass remaining in Bruce Lee's body with tweezers.
After everything was done, a woman named Bice walked over. She made a peculiar gesture, and a white light emanated from her hands, spreading outwards and enveloping Bruce Lee.
About ten minutes later, Bruce Lee's wounds began to heal at a visible rate.
The entire treatment process lasted over twenty minutes before Bice withdrew her hands, looking exhausted.
She mustered her strength to prepare to treat Howard when Prometheus spoke.
