"Only when Old Wolf and the others are all dead can the Divine Thunder Source possibly appear, and only those old geezers can kill them!"
The man in black was still confused.
But Hei Lao didn't explain further. He simply glanced at the man, who shivered and quickly relayed Hei Lao's words.
Instantly, all the men in black stopped in their tracks.
Along the path the old village chief and the others took towards the forbidden area, they encountered not a single man in black. This left the old village chief, who had been hoping to vent some frustration, to hold back.
What would normally take over ten minutes of travel, the old village chief and his group reached the entrance in less than a minute.
"The forbidden area has certain side effects for us too. Once inside, form small teams of two, and do not be careless!"
After a warning, the old village chief waved his hand and led the charge into the area.
The two sides met sooner than expected. The old village chief hadn't anticipated the assassins would unite, but this played right into his hands.
Separating the villagers was merely to clear them out faster. As for the assassins, including the old village chief, a total of sixteen people didn't take them seriously at all.
This was their territory!
"Kill!"
With a command, without a word of nonsense, all the villagers charged towards King Kong Wolf and the others.
However, after entering the forbidden area, everyone's speed was no longer as it was outside, where they moved like lightning. Nevertheless, their current speed was equivalent to the superior speed secret techniques of King Kong Wolf and the others!
They arrived suddenly and with great force. Although they were all bewildered, the assassins immediately counterattacked.
A mere dozen people, and they dared to challenge more than forty experts?
Were they joking!
However, the moment they clashed, everyone quickly realized they were wrong.
And terribly wrong!
"Damn it! They can use lightning power! You can't defend against this without internal energy protection!"
"Why do my secret techniques not even leave a mark when they hit them?"
"Shit, is this power cultivated from birth?"
In just one exchange, a dozen assassins who engaged directly were sent flying or repelled. Those who followed were defeated in less than three moves, unable to even get close again.
King Kong Wolf and the other five's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately rushed forward to attack.
Their secret techniques at the seventh level of cultivation, if used outside, would be insurmountable for anyone below the peak of the sixth level.
But at this moment, they only managed to make the opponents grunt and retreat a few steps.
Not even a drop of blood was seen!
On the contrary, the moment they touched the opponent's body, a surge of lightning power drilled into their own, sending an electric jolt through their entire being.
Without the protection of internal energy, even they at the seventh level of cultivation could not withstand it!
At this moment, King Kong Wolf and the others finally understood the words of those assassins from before.
Their expressions finally changed dramatically.
Where did these freaks come from?
"Disperse!"
King Kong Wolf instantly understood that these were not opponents they could fight. If they were outside the Lightning Magnetic Island, he would certainly have other trump cards to deal with them.
But here, there was only one option: flee!
The moment he spoke, he turned and ran.
No one objected; anyone who didn't run at such a moment would truly be out of their minds!
Those who hadn't engaged yet had already chosen their escape routes when King Kong Wolf and the others failed to kill them immediately.
"Little Four, Little Five, guard the exit. The rest of you, pursue!"
The old village chief roared, then set his sights on King Kong Wolf and sped towards him.
Noticing this, King Kong Wolf's expression changed drastically. He ignored those being pursued and shouted, "Friend, is there some misunderstanding? Why are you trying to kill us?"
"Because you are poachers."
At this time, the old village chief and the others were speaking in their local dialect, which King Kong Wolf couldn't understand. He could only reluctantly continue to flee.
Although the old village chief and the others were much slower than outside, the assassins still had to use their secret techniques to chase them to barely keep pace.
King Kong Wolf was fortunate to know more secret techniques. By alternating between several top-tier speed secret techniques, he managed to maintain a safe distance.
However, this could not last for long.
King Kong Wolf understood very well that this forbidden area also held unknown dangers. If this continued, even if he wasn't caught, he would die from the calculations!
With this thought, King Kong Wolf gritted his teeth and turned towards an assassin who was not being pursued.
If I can't outrun you, I can surely outrun someone else!
Instantly, the assassins who had been full of confidence scattered like frightened birds. What was paradise a moment ago had become a hellish reality in the next.
Some assassins who were not being chased panicked and lost their bearings.
They needed to find a safe place to hide!
However, they soon discovered that apart from King Kong Wolf and the others who were at the seventh level of cultivation, most of the others who were caught were killed by their opponents in less than ten seconds!
This speed could only be described as a massacre!
Damn it!
Discovering this, the assassins were terrified out of their minds, unable to comprehend where these experts had come from.
Could this be a contingency plan from the Black Net?
As expected, the legendary Black Net master, Hei Lao, was a twisted genius at scheming!
Meanwhile, Li Chonglou, who was still within the formation, was also filled with worry.
The purple energy mass was proving to be more difficult than he had anticipated. From the beginning until now, the progress had not even reached one-tenth.
The wails from Old Lin in his ear had become numbingly familiar.
"Elder An, are there no other methods?"
"No, the ability to absorb the essence of heaven and earth is already very good. I fear that throughout history, the number of people who have managed this feat does not exceed two hands."
The "throughout history" he spoke of referred to the history of humankind, and it was already a very high evaluation.
Li Chonglou understood Elder An's meaning but still felt it was too slow.
The term "forbidden area" itself suggested it wouldn't be easy. Who knew if there would be other unknown dangers later on?
If they could leave this place sooner, the earlier the better.
However, since even Elder An had no solution, Li Chonglou could only endure it here, silently praying that those people wouldn't arrive too quickly.
It was important to note that the mask on his face had already been removed by the old village chief and the others, as had those of Chen Pingfan and the others.
He had mentioned this when they were coming, but the old village chief had not responded, so Li Chonglou didn't inquire further.
No response was a response; he understood that much.
Therefore, it was best if no one saw him.
However, as this thought crossed his mind, two figures entered his field of vision.
"Could we be this unlucky?"
Li Chonglou focused his gaze. It wasn't the old village chief and them.
This meant, they were bringing up the very topic he wanted to avoid?
Li Chonglou's expression instantly soured.
