As it happened, the enemies he had to deal with this time were numerous, and the environment was also suited for using poison, so Li Fei wanted to test the results of his long-time efforts.
In just over a minute, the poison in the two bottles had completely evaporated.
Li Fei collected the two empty bottles and quietly lay in wait on the ground.
In the village, there were still people on night watch, including two core members: Shen Hou and Zi Shu.
Zi Shu was a Possession Stage Great Mage who had set up guard arrays around the edges of the village.
Shen Hou was a Tao Foundation Stage Martial Artist with a perception-type extraordinary ability, equally suitable for night watch.
The two stayed in the same room so that if an unexpected situation arose, Shen Hou could serve as Zi Shuâs guard, facilitating their coordination in combat.
"I saw two women before; too bad."
"Village women, what beauty could they have?"
"Thatâs what you donât understand; itâs exactly that rustic charm Iâm after."
"The bodies are still there."
"Iâm not that twisted."
"..."
The two assassins chatted sporadically.
Suddenly, Zi Shu shook his head:
"Do you feel a bit... dizzy?"
"Hmm?"
Shen Hou instantly realized something was wrong and immediately stood up, emitting a piercing scream.
The tranquility of the night was shattered.
Blood had started to run from Zi Shuâs nose and mouth.
He was a Magician, physically almost like an ordinary person, but he had undergone special poison resistance training, so he was not yet dead.
Shen Hou rushed over to Zi Shu, took out a bottle from his chest, poured out an elixir, and forcefully made Zi Shu swallow it.
For those who walk in the shadows like them, using poison and detoxifying were essential skills.
The âTwelve Xiaoâ were top-tier assassins, and the detoxification elixirs they carried were of excellent quality, which just managed to save Zi Shuâs life.
"Thereâs..."
Just as Shen Hou was about to shout a loud warning, a strong sense of crisis suddenly overwhelmed him.
He didnât care about his fallen comrade and dashed to the left, smashing through the wall to rush outside.
Just as he broke through the wall, a golden blade light slashed into the room, cutting the whole house in half like slicing through cardboard!
Zi Shu, lying on the ground, was precisely cut in half, his body becoming two separate pieces.
This Possession Stage Great Mage hadnât even had the chance to use a magic before dying just like that.
"Mixed Element Vajra Force? Li Fei?!"
Shen Hou finally saw the attacking enemy and recognized Li Fei by his force.
He knew well that he was outmatched and decisively retreated to gain distance.
But the next second, his head buzzed like it had been struck hard.
His mind was severely shaken!
Before Shen Hou could react, another slash of the blade light cut across his neck.
Under the illumination of the golden blade light, a head flew up, eyes wide open in terror.
In the blink of an eye, the Twelve Xiao were down by two!
Just as Li Fei had killed Shen Hou with one slash, a fiery red arrow shot at him at supersonic speed.
Li Fei dodged to the right, but the arrow turned towards him!
Boomâ
Loud as a massive bell, a fireball rose on the spot, the explosion wave directly collapsing the wooden houses on either side!
Inside the house were several Qi Change Stage martial masters, also poisoned, who couldnât run out in time and were buried by the collapsing building.
Li Fei, clad in Mixed Element Star Armor, rushed out of the flames, only to face a net head-on.
He held the Ghost Slash Blade up, intending to flick the large net away with a snapping force.
However, the force struck the net, disappearing like a stone sinking into the sea.
The next second, the net emitted a tremendous suction force, firmly sticking to Li Feiâs Ghost Slash Blade!
Simultaneously, a wave of magic surged from the net and struck Li Fei.
"Got him!"
A few hundred meters away, a fat man exclaimed excitedly.
He was one of the Twelve Xiao, Hai Zhu, also a Possession Stage Great Mage, and his main magic artifact was the âLeak-free Net.â
This artifact integrated six implants and drained all of Hai Zhuâs dedication and energy!
Normally, the âTwelve Xiaoâsâ stealth âopening moveâ involved the expert archer Wu Ma drawing the targetâs attention with an arrow shot, followed by Hai Zhu using the âLeak-free Netâ to control the target.
Without deviations, the battle would be nearly over by then.
But today was obviously an exception.
Li Fei was unaffected by the magic, dragging the âLeak-free Netâ and forcefully retreating while trying with âArmor-breaking Styleâ to break free from the âLeak-free Netâsâ restraint.
He had just stepped back a few paces when two different types of force struck him from the ground.
These forces, like two chains, locked onto each leg!
Behind Li Fei, two Tao Foundation Stage martial artists had completed their joint attack.
They were Si She and Chou Niu, both possessing high-level forces capable of moving underground and combining with their core-level extraordinary abilities, perfectly suited for locking down a target.
This delay allowed the âLeak-free Netâ to finally envelop him!
"Killâ"
A furious shout, and the assassin leader Chen Long, wielding a long spear, summoned a black dragon-shaped force that stabbed towards Li Feiâs back.
Woo woo woo wooâ
This spear attack made no dragon roar; instead, countless whimpers echoed throughout the village, sounding like a thousand ghosts weeping, unsettling minds!
Tao PowerâGhost Dragon Roar!
Meanwhile, Yin Hu and Mao Tu, two powerful Tao Foundation Stage experts, slashed at Li Fei from left and right.
The black dragon struck Li Feiâs Mixed Element Star Armor first, ignoring the properties of Star Shifting, piercing a hole through the armor.
Immediately after, Yin Hu and Mao Tuâs blades came down, shattering the Mixed Element Star Armor completely!
