The Advantage Is Mine

Shisui, through Radiant Feathers, watched as Hua Guangqi suddenly froze, and then without hesitation committed suicide.

"Ah?"

He was completely baffled.

It was unclear whether the Beastfolk high-ranking officer's mental state was inherently precarious, or whether the pressure he exerted on the officer was too intense.

"Never mind."

It doesn't matter what, as long as he makes money.

Shisui located the landed head using Radiant Feathers, and then opened a Space Wormhole that was only the size of the head.

With a single reach, he took the head containing the brains of the Beastfolk's high-ranking members.

He was particularly curious about the type of eyeballs the Beastfolk were using this time.

After all, such a soul attack that comes with a state of frenzy is truly rare, so it's normal to want to study it!

The quickest way to understand those eyeballs is undoubtedly to "ask" their owners.

Fortunately, after a long period of nurturing, the levels of [Spirit Dream Recall] and [Fire Thief] have both improved.

Although there's still a bit of a gap between us and the Earth Realm, we've at least climbed to the Ninth Realm of the Profound Realm.

The Snow Spirit's body is ultimately a physical form that the Snow Spirit prepared for herself, and it does not match these two talents.

To go further and reach the Earth Realm, we need to switch to other means.

Those are things for later; let's get back to the main topic.

To obtain specific information about those eyeballs, capturing just one high-ranking member is not enough.

The Shisui, Kakugan swept over the now-ruined underground settlement.

What came into view were Insect Race from the Earth Realm and Profound Realms, with the occasional Beastfolk soldier mixed in.

These are all low-level thugs, at best useful for making "reserve food," but not for gathering intelligence.

Looks like we need to search further inside.

More Feather Powder and Radiant Feathers were released.

This time, their job wasn't to hunt, but to burrow underground to find what appeared to be high-ranking officials or commanders.

"Boom--!"

The Bikaku rose up and swung heavily into the pit.

In an instant, the ground shook violently in this area.

More underground passages were exposed, and the Insect Race from the Profound Realm and the Earth Realm roared as they charged out.

Like black blood gushing from a ruptured blood vessel, it carries a chilling aura.

However, less than a second after they appeared, a large number of Radiant Feathers swarmed in, and wherever they passed, the Insect Race were dismembered.

All that remained was a pile of minced flesh and flowing bones.

Shisui's perception continued to deepen with Radiant Feathers.

The further in you go, the lower the temperature gets, until it stabilizes at around five degrees Celsius.

Even though the temperature wasn't high, the passageway was still filled with a nauseating, pungent smell.

Even though Shisui could only sense it through Radiant Feathers's perception, he could still vaguely detect it.

The Insect Races they encountered were of increasingly higher levels, and even Beastfolk awakened to the Earth Realm Ninth Realm appeared.

They tried desperately to stop Radiant Feathers's advance, but it was all in vain; at most, they could only consume a few Radiant Feathers.

In just a moment, Shisui's perception had penetrated hundreds of meters underground.

The passageways began to widen and become taller, and buildings and other structures appeared more and more frequently.

Shisui knew that they were on the right track; the Radiant Feathers had already penetrated deep into the core area of Insect Race settlement.

The Radiant Feathers began to disperse; the real highlight was the search for the missing person that followed.

Meanwhile, in the central part of the Lantiao Continent, outside the Shahai City.

After brutally killing all the Demon Race soldiers who came to capture him, Chi An successfully left the East District Shahai City.

He did not stop there.

With pursuers still behind him, he needed to continue eastward, cross this small desert, and return to the forest area.

Chi An deliberately slowed down, leading the Demon Race soldiers behind him away from Shahai City.

The desert temperature is exceptionally low at night; running won't warm you up, but will instead bring in a biting wind.

Shahai City gradually disappeared behind them, Chi An estimated that they were close enough and stopped.

With a light touch of his toes on the soft sand, he quickly regained his balance, turned around, and stood still. His black robe drew an arc in the air, gently stirring up the fine sand on the ground.

He waited for more than ten seconds before the twenty pursuers behind him arrived.

A leader from the Earth Realm Ninth Realm led nineteen dependents, ranging from those at the Fifth to the Seventh Earth Realm level.

Chi An estimated the enemy's strength and had a better understanding of the situation.

Yes, they can fight.

The pursuers opposite were also scrutinizing the "demon" clad in black robes.

The Earth Realm Ninth Realm appear to be weak and isolated.

Facing a full twenty of them, the difference in strength was immediately obvious.

This advantage is on my side!

The leader of the Demon Race soldiers cleared his throat and shouted to the enemy, "Surrender immediately..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chi An moved.

His extreme speed was so great that you couldn't even see his afterimage; you could only feel the whistling wind rushing towards you.

Immediately afterwards, a dagger that appeared out of nowhere slit the leader's throat.

"Snap!"

Skin and flesh couldn't stop the dagger; the leader's neck bones were severed as well.

"Plop."

The head landed on the fine sand with a dull thud.

The gushing blood splattered onto the faces of several nearby soldiers; the warm touch was especially noticeable in the cold air.

Fear instantly enveloped all the soldiers.

"Ahhh--!"

Terrified screams rang out, and they turned to run away.

However, it was already too late.

Even at a distance of more than ten meters, Chi An could instantly reach the leading soldier and kill him.

Not to mention the distance that is so close.

The screams and pleas for mercy lasted only ten seconds before the desert returned to silence.

Chi An stood in the middle of a pile of corpses. Because he was moving so fast, the dagger in his hand didn't even get stained with blood.

He walked toward his destination, ignoring the mess on the ground.

However, as he left, the blood on the ground floated up and drifted to his side.

The fresh, Psychic Energy -rich blood gradually drew closer to his body beneath the black robe.

Chi An's body slowly absorbed the blood, and the minor wounds left from the breakout in Shahai City began to heal rapidly.

Before long, the blood was completely absorbed, and all Chi An's wounds disappeared.

Just as he was about to speed up his journey, a strange force came from afar.

That power resonated with some kind of external energy within Chi An's body, instantly catching his attention.

"?"

He naturally knew what that power was.

What puzzled him was why the Beastfolk would openly use Forbidden-Class Weapons.

Indeed, Chi An sensed was the aura of the Eye of Madness.

Beneath the hood, three pairs of dark ear feathers fluttered open at Chi An's ears, and his blood-red pupils trembled slightly with tension.

He suppressed the chaotic Psychic Energy surging within his body due to the Eye of Madness and quickly left the spot.

Although he didn't know what had happened, his intuition told him that he shouldn't be out and about lately.

He needs to find a safe place to hide as soon as possible.

On the other side, deep within the Spirit Resonance Rainforest, lies the settlement of the Beastfolk.

Deep underground, Radiant Feathers conducted a thorough, inch-by-inch search and finally found an Insect Mother and a Heaven Realm Beastfolk.
