Unknown Creature, Decapitation Unit

Above the ruins of Yin City, Shisui is sealing off the surrounding space.

He didn't want to be disturbed while researching the upgrade and modification of the Feather Bullets in Yin City.

The thick fog slowly expanded, gradually enveloping the entire Yin City.

Suddenly, Shisui sensed that some creature had escaped from the fog zone that was not yet sealed off.

Kakugan quickly appeared, its crimson pupils dilating, instantly scanning the direction the creature had fled.

"Huh? What's that?"

In Shisui Kakugan's vision, the creature that appeared for a moment and then disappeared was particularly eerie.

It is like a soul that has not yet possessed a physical body, yet it is more solid than a pure soul.

Furthermore, there seems to be an imperceptible connection between it and the Yin City.

"That direction, I think it's towards Mao City."

After noting down the creature's shape and its faint aura, Shisui temporarily put it out of his mind.

He's more interested in equipping himself with missiles than in exploring this unknown creature.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

The sounds of intense explosions echoed across the ruins of the old Mao City.

More than a month has passed since the Dragon King attacked Mao City.

At this moment, the allied forces of Human Race and Demon Race clashed once again with the Sea Race's legion.

It took less than two weeks for the two sides to go from minor, tentative skirmishes to this direct conflict.

Li Nai'an led forty-five soldiers of the Undying Legion across the battlefield.

Arrows and cannonballs imbued with Psychic Energy whizzed overhead, but they could not stop their advance.

Li Nai'an led her troops silently past the enemy vanguard and deep into enemy territory.

The main battlefield, where the fighting was most intense, was not their stage.

They are a decapitation strike force; their operations take place behind enemy lines.

"First squad, follow up; second and third squads, provide cover."

Li Nai'an gave the order in a crisp, low voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, the team behind her quickly split into three groups, with one group following her as they continued towards the enemy command post.

The other two groups split up to the left and right, charging towards the soldiers guarding the enemy command post.

As Li Nai'an arrived near the command tent, both the left and right camps erupted in commotion.

"Enemy attack!"

As the shout echoed throughout the military camp, a large number of soldiers surged toward the camps on both sides.

Only a small number of elite guards remained near the central command tent, never leaving its side.

Although it didn't draw away all the guards, that was enough.

Li Nai'an gestured to the soldiers behind her.

Everyone immediately understood and quickly scattered, then simultaneously surrounded and approached the central tent.

The more intense the shouts of battle from both military camps became, the quieter the area near the command post seemed.

At a certain moment, several figures suddenly appeared.

"Snap!"

The crisp sound of bones breaking overlapped.

The heads of all the guards were captured almost simultaneously.

The soldiers of the Undying Legion covered their mouths and noses, twisted their necks forcefully, and snapped them in two.

With the last line of defense breached, the Undying Legion soldiers, led by Li Nai'an, cautiously entered the command post.

Meanwhile, the command post was in a state of frantic activity, and the commanders and staff had already packed their belongings and were preparing to evacuate.

Commanders and staff officers are often targeted on the battlefield, so their intuition is exceptionally sharp.

They had instinctively sensed the impending danger even when the riots broke out nearby.

However, the guards outside the door did not give them any time to escape.

Li Nai'an had no intention of letting them escape.

"As usual, the Commander-in-Chief and Chief of Staff, please spare some breath."

The massacre began.

Although these people have some fighting ability, they are ultimately no match for the elite troops on the battlefield.

Li Nai'an brandished her long, thorny whip.

The long whip lashed out at her chosen prey, and in an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The pain caused the whipped prey to convulse and collapse to the ground.

The splash of crimson blood landed on the blooming red lotus pattern at the corner of Li Nai'an's eye, causing her emerald eyes to uncontrollably fill with a bloodthirsty madness.

"Smack!"

The whip lashed at the prey once more.

This whip was even more powerful, almost killing the commander, who was at the Ninth Realm of the Profound Realm, on the spot.

"Platoon leader, this is the Sea Race's commander-in-chief."

The adjutant stepped forward and whispered a reminder.

"Yes, I know."

Suppressing her surging killing intent, Li Nai'an ordered, "Take the Sea Race's commander-in-chief and chief of staff back immediately."

As they tied up the two targets and retreated in the direction they had come from, a small force of Sea Race returning to defend their position arrived.

Most of them were injured, clearly having been forcibly removed from the front lines to reinforce the rear.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have arrived so quickly.

The leading general exuded the aura of the Earth Realm Fifth Realm, First Realm higher than Li Nai'an in her current state.

The other soldiers were on par with Li Nai'an's men.

A sinister smile twisted at the corner of Li Nai'an's mouth, and her suppressed killing intent was suddenly released without reservation!

"A swift and decisive victory!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Li Nai'an rushed forward.

The long whip danced nimbly, and combined with her agile movements and fierce attack speed, she caught her opponent off guard.

Several deep, bone-revealing whip marks instantly appeared on the leading officer's body.

However, he was, after all, First Realm higher than Li Nai'an.

After enduring the initial onslaught of bombardment, the officer quickly regained his composure.

He swept his Sea Race- style halberd across the room, interrupting the relentless attacks of the whip.

He then spun around and slashed horizontally again!

A sharp slash, imbued with Psychic Energy, hurtled towards Li Nai'an.

Li Nai'an, facing the slash head-on, not only made no attempt to dodge, but instead stepped forward directly.

Taking advantage of the enemy's weakened state before their new forces are unleashed, strike directly at their vital points.

"Pfft!"

To the astonishment of the Sea Race officer, the slash pierced straight through Li Nai'an's body.

A line of blood appeared down the middle of her body, as if she were about to be broken in half.

But in the next moment, the bloodline healed rapidly, as if it had never happened.

"You are! The Undying Army..."

"Bang!"

The screams abruptly ceased as a long, barbed whip struck the officer's head, instantly shattering it.

"Thump!"

The corpses fell heavily to the ground, and the stench of blood filled the air.

Li Nai'an's eyes shone with undisguised joy as she watched the Sea Race reinforcements being wiped out one by one.

Moments later, there were no survivors.

"Withdraw!"

The Undying Legion's decapitation squad arrived suddenly and left swiftly, leaving no one behind and escaping unscathed.

An hour later, the allied forces repelled the Sea Race army.

The coalition forces have temporarily gained the upper hand.

Li Nai'an walked back to her tent at the temporary encampment.

As one of the key contributors to this success, she will receive more cultivation resources from the Demon Race army.

Furthermore, given that the higher-ups were already intentionally cultivating Undying Legion composed of experimental subjects, she was able to obtain a considerable amount of cultivation resources.

Thanks to this, she was able to fully unleash her potential and reach the Earth Realm Fourth Realm in just over a month.

"Li Nai'an, please wait!"

The sudden sound interrupted Li Nai'an's thoughts.

She turned to look at the messenger rushing towards her, a faint, polite smile appearing on her face.

Hello, how can I help you?

"This is your dispatch order from the commander-in-chief."

The messenger stopped a meter away from her and presented the order of dispatch given by the commander-in-chief with both hands.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Seeing that Li Nai'an had accepted the envelope containing the dispatch order, the messenger quickly withdrew.

Li Nai'an carefully put away the dispatch order; she had no intention of viewing the classified documents in public.

Immediately afterwards, she headed towards her tent.

After returning to her tent, she checked that the surroundings were safe and there was no eavesdropping or surveillance before opening the envelope.

The dispatch order inside the envelope contained only a brief sentence.

"High-level order: Please proceed to the Kaiyang Continent to retrieve the experimental subject, as instructed."

Inside the envelope, a signal sensor for receiving the locator was quietly operating.

There was only one constantly flashing red dot above, and upon rough observation, its location seemed to be in the middle of the Kaiyang Continent.
