How could he be so strong?
Xuan Shi was shocked. Didn't the opponent just get promoted to a Profound-rank attendant? Why did he feel that this strength was even stronger than his peak?
"Don't be so arrogant when you're still injured. Wouldn't it be better to stay by Master Qing Dao's side and be a dog?" Ye Cangtian said with a smile.
"You, who exactly are you?" A trace of blood seeped from the corner of Xuan Shi's mouth, and he looked scared and panicked.
This person's strength was definitely stronger than an ordinary Profound-rank attendant. Otherwise, even if his injuries had not recovered, he would not have felt such a huge gap with just one move.
Ye Cangtian grinned, "Haven't you heard my name? Under your Master Qing Dao, two Profound-ranks were unfortunately captured by my Dragon Group, Xuan Si and Xuan Shi Wu. You wouldn't not know them, would you?"
"What? Fourth brother and Fifteen were taken by you... You are Ye Cangtian!" Xuan Shi finally reacted.
Qing Dao had a total of eight Profound-rank attendants under him. Four of them were on secret missions, and among the remaining four, there were him and Xuan Shi Yi, as well as Xuan Si and Xuan Shi Wu. These four had been working for Master Qing Dao for a long time.
Some time ago, Xuan Si and Xuan Shi Wu and their subordinates all disappeared!
Later, they learned that they had been wiped out by people from the Huaxia Dragon Group. Master Qing Dao was furious at the time.
This was also why Qing Dao was only accompanied by him and Xuan Shi Yi at the Saudi ruins this time, as they really couldn't spare any more personnel. Qing Dao had also borrowed two Profound-ranks from Master Zi Long.
But it was only at this moment that Xuan Shi knew that this Xuan Qi, borrowed from Master Zi Long, was actually Ye Cangtian from the Huaxia Dragon Group!
"If you kill me, Master Qing Dao will not let you go!" Xuan Shi gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"That's if he finds out. If you die, no one will know it was me!" Ye Cangtian said with a smile. Killing people in this city was the most convenient thing to do.
The entire city would help him cover up all traces!
Xuan Shi's face turned pale, and then he gritted his teeth fiercely, intending to fight his way out, at least to send out the message before he died.
But as soon as he rushed out, a dagger pierced through his back.
Then, Xuan Shi turned around unwillingly, stared at the other person, opened his mouth, and finally fell to the ground, completely dead.
Ye Cangtian pouted. If the opponent was at his peak, it would indeed take a lot of effort to take him down. But could a half-crippled fellow escape?
Beside him, Shangguan Yanran's face was pale, and there was a trace of fear and terror in her eyes as she looked at Ye Cangtian.
Yao Bao'er was used to it. She rolled her eyes at her own boss and mumbled, "They haven't eaten anything yet. Killing in front of them is really sickening."
"Don't worry, the corpse will disappear soon!"
Ye Cangtian said calmly, and then searched Xuan Shi's body, collecting more than a dozen crystal stones. One of them was larger, clearly indicating that this guy was injured before because he desperately killed a stone man captain.
The harvest was not small!
He put away the dozen crystal stones, and at this moment, he heard the screams of two girls.
"Look quickly, what happened to him?" Yao Bao'er exclaimed.
The corpse on the ground was corroding at a visible speed, as if being swallowed by the ground. Soon, all the flesh, blood, bones, and clothes on the corpse disappeared.
This was the first time Yao Bao'er and Shangguan Yanran had seen such a terrifying scene!
Ye Cangtian was used to it. He smiled and said, "The corpse is gone. Are you going to continue eating here, or change places?"
"Change, change..." Yao Bao'er nodded quickly.
This place was simply too terrifying. Such a large living person, well... although he was already dead, he was corroded to nothingness right before their eyes.
Even Yao Bao'er, who had always been focused on eating, had no appetite to eat anything at this moment.
It was too disgusting!
...
At the same time, in another side hall hundreds of meters away.
Qing Dao and two Yellow-rank members had just searched a room. As they were about to come out, his brows suddenly furrowed.
"Something's not right, let's leave here!"
He dropped a sentence and directly darted out of the room. Although the two Yellow-rank members didn't know what Master Qing Dao meant, they followed suit immediately.
Unfortunately, their speed and reaction were still half a beat slow.
As soon as they reached the doorway, before a foot could cross the threshold, the doors on both sides of the room instantly closed.
"Huh?"
Qing Dao exclaimed in surprise. Just as he was about to kick the door to rescue them, screams suddenly came from inside.
At this moment, even Qing Dao couldn't help but change his expression.
The room inside was empty. Logically, there shouldn't be any danger, right? But he clearly felt a sense of crisis just now, and the two Yellow-rank members were indeed in trouble after being trapped inside.
He took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and kicked open the door, holding his saber with both hands, vigilant of the situation inside.
However, the two Yellow-rank members inside were already dead!
From being trapped in the room to him kicking the door open, it was only two breaths of time, and they were dead?
Qing Dao's face was gloomy as he looked around. Besides the two corpses that were corroding at a visible speed, there was nothing in the entire house.
"What the hell is this thing!"
He muttered to himself, because the moment he entered the house, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a fleeting black shadow.
Because it was too fast, he couldn't see it clearly.
With so few members under his command, and now two more Yellow-rank members dead, Qing Dao was somewhat angry.
He walked out of the room and saw two people hiding sneakily nearby. He snorted, "Get out!"
"My... my lord, spare me!"
Two assassins from small organizations cautiously walked out, afraid that this powerful figure would kill them in a fit of rage.
Qing Dao frowned and asked, "Do you know what's going on in these rooms? What's inside?"
"My lord, we don't know what's inside either. We only know that after many people were trapped in these rooms, they never came out again. They must have been attacked by something."
"Also, these rooms are very strange. They automatically close every ten minutes. Those who don't come out by then will be trapped inside and disappear completely!"
The two assassins explained diligently. They had also guessed the mechanism of these rooms closing every ten minutes, after all, many people had been trapped inside before.
Qing Dao frowned and thought for a moment. He didn't suspect these two, but was speculating why these rooms appeared in this situation.
If someone in this city lord's mansion was controlling all of this from the shadows, it would be easier to explain.
But the ruins had been for countless years, and even many buildings in the city had been corroded. Could there be anyone here?
Also, what was that black shadow just now?
Was there really someone else?
Qing Dao pondered all this, then glanced at the two of them. With a casual wave of his saber, before the two of them could react, their necks were severed.
