Rattlesnake Camp.
The surrounding lighthouses illuminated the camp brightly, leaving no blind spots. Hiding within the camp was utterly impossible.
In front of the command tent, Kezela leaned back in his lounge chair, his gaze sweeping across the endless night sky, muttering to himself.
"It is destined to be an extraordinary night..."
As he muttered, Kezela picked up his wine glass and took a large gulp.
After the strong liquor went down, a look of enjoyment appeared on Kezela's face.
However, this enjoyment vanished in an instant, replaced by endless killing intent.
A figure had already appeared at the camp's main entrance.
The figure was not imposing and seemed unfamiliar, slowly approaching him.
However, the person wore a silver mask, allowing Kezela to identify them instantly.
"Are you Xuan Qi of the Dark Association?"
"I never imagined the Dark Association would go to such lengths! To kill me, they even sent you!"
"It's just that I wonder if they'll ache when they find out you died here!"
Kezela put down his wine glass, his gaze settling on Ye Cangtian, and said slowly.
He was not unfamiliar with Xuan Qi of the Dark Association; Xuan Qi had performed impressively in past operations, making it hard not to know him.
"Many people want me dead, but so far, none have succeeded!"
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, took out a photograph from his Qiankun bag, and compared it with Kezela before him.
After a moment, he said faintly, "Identity confirmed, Kezela, do you have any last words? You can say them now."
"Hahaha..."
With that, Kezela burst into laughter, saying dismissively, "Xuan Qi, you need to understand, this is my camp. Who dies and who lives is not yet determined!"
As he spoke, Kezela raised his gun and pulled the trigger towards the sky.
*Whoosh!*
A green signal flare shot into the sky, followed by streaks of red light that landed on Ye Cangtian.
These red lights were none other than infrared targeting scopes.
Knowing that someone was attacking, Kezela had made preparations. Over ten snipers were hidden around the area.
They were concealed in the surrounding forests, about 500 meters away. It could be said that even if the opponent discovered these snipers, they couldn't easily deal with them.
"Yoho, quite well prepared!"
Ye Cangtian looked at the small red dots on his body and said playfully.
"Not bad."
"Xuan Qi, I know your strength is considerable, but no matter how powerful you are, can you outrun bullets?"
Kezela smiled slightly and continued, "Also, I must tell you, these are all first-class snipers. At this distance, they can kill a fly without issue."
"Oh really? That amazing?"
"Then have them fire a shot and try. I'd like to see how accurate they really are."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian showed no signs of nervousness. Instead, his face was filled with a dismissive smile.
"The ignorant are fearless!"
"But I must warn you, the moment the gun fires, you'll be riddled with holes. I advise you to consider the consequences before making a decision."
Despite saying this, Kezela's expression shifted slightly. He couldn't discern any hopeful gaze in the other party's eyes, which annoyed him greatly.
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and made an inviting gesture.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's action, Kezela gritted his teeth instantly. This was clearly forcing him to act, or he would be mocked for not daring to fire.
With that thought, Kezela's face turned crimson. He slowly raised his handgun and pointed it at the night sky again.
With a gunshot, another signal flare shot into the air.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian clearly felt the infrared targeting points on his body tremble. The next moment, Ye Cangtian's figure had already vanished from his spot.
*Ding ding ding...*
As Ye Cangtian disappeared, over ten bullets hit the ground. Kezela, on the other side, widened his eyes.
He had expected to admire the scene of blood splashing, but in the blink of an eye, Ye Cangtian was in front of him.
Not only that, but the other party's large hand had already tightly gripped his neck, which was truly beyond imagination.
"You are also a peak Xuan-level expert. You should know that at this realm, modern weapons can hardly harm me."
"Furthermore, they used infrared targeting, which is equivalent to telling me the trajectory of the bullets. How could I not dodge it..."
Ye Cangtian said mockingly, but before he could finish, his brow furrowed.
It was said that Kezela possessed peak Xuan-level strength.
He hadn't sensed the other party's aura before, assuming it was due to the suppression of his aura.
But now, upon physical contact, he suddenly felt the other party's weak aura, which was not even at the Huang level.
This clearly did not match Kezela's strength.
"You are not Kezela." Ye Cangtian asked grimly.
"Haha, you discovered it after all."
Kezela laughed heartily and admitted it readily.
As he spoke, he slowly opened his clothes with one hand, revealing that his waist was wrapped with C4 explosives.
And with the other hand, he threw away his pistol and took out a remote control.
Seeing everything before him, Ye Cangtian's expression changed slightly.
He was absolutely confident in dodging bullets fired from a distance.
But with so much C4, the explosive power would surely be astonishing, and at such close range, he wasn't confident he could avoid being affected.
"Do you know why I drank such strong liquor?"
"It's to bolster my courage. I don't have the guts to press it, but I can't fail my mission from the Shinobu Division."
"Xuan Qi, thank you. You've given me the chance to prove myself, and at the same time, to accompany me to the underworld. Thank you so much..."
On the other side, seeing Ye Cangtian's expression, Kezela said proudly.
"It's too early to thank me now."
"I won't accompany you to the underworld."
Ye Cangtian snorted lightly, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
"Haha, even at this point, you can still say such things. I truly admire you!"
Kezela laughed mockingly. He believed that it would only take a moment for Xuan Qi to kill him, but within that moment, he could also press the button in his hand.
At that time, it would only take a thousandth of a second for him and Xuan Qi to be blown to pieces.
How could the opponent possibly escape then!
"Alas! I knew you wouldn't believe me!"
"Then why don't you try pressing the remote in your hand!"
Ye Cangtian looked at Kezela helplessly and said slowly.
"Fine, I'll press it!"
"Long live the Great Japanese Shinobu Division!"
Kezela's face turned red from Ye Cangtian's words. The helplessness on the other party's face, as if mocking his lack of courage, made him extremely displeased.
With a roar, he shouted, but the next moment he froze in place.
He found that his fingers were not obeying his command to press the detonation button.
To be precise, his entire body, except for his head, had lost all sensation.
"You... what did you do to me..."
Kezela's gaze finally turned to fear. There was no doubt that all of this was done by Xuan Qi.
He carefully recalled every detail from just now, but he only felt a chill spread throughout his body, with no other abnormalities.
Could it be that this chill was the culprit that caused him to lose control of his body?
"Do you think I'll tell you?"
Ye Cangtian retorted mockingly.
In fact, he had just used the spiritual energy within his body.
He slowly injected spiritual energy into Kezela's neck, and then used the spiritual energy to sever the nervous system of Kezela's cervical spine.
This caused Kezela to lose control of his body.
"Alright, let's stop the nonsense."
"Tell me, where is the real Kezela?"
"And, how many people has the Shinobu Division sent, and where are they now?"
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Cangtian began to inquire.
Ye Cangtian had zero tolerance for the Shinobu Division's meddling. Since they had come, they would stay.
