The Assassination Begins

At this moment, inside the underground prison of the Third Research Institute of the Sea Race, the surging magma had calmed down from its boiling state.

After losing the energy supply from the Dragon King Clone, the surface of the magma also dropped somewhat.

More walls were thus exposed to the still-smelling sulfur air.

Without needing to look closely, all that can be seen are large patches of shattered array patterns.

Clearly, even the underground prison could hardly withstand the fierce attacks of the Dragon King Clones.

Naturally, the barrier isolating the outside world completely shattered.

However, this was no problem for Shisui and the Banshee Sea Demon who remained inside the prison.

Compared to the barriers here, the Shisui Spatial Lockdown is far more robust.

This was crucial in concealing the fluctuations emanating from the Banshee Sea Demon's ascension.

By devouring the Flesh Crystals extracted from the Dragon King Clone, the Banshee Sea Demon encountered the threshold of the Fifth Realm of the Heaven Realm.

What truly allowed him to break through the bottleneck of the Fifth Realm was the exceptionally large amount of resentment within the magma.

The lava here was actually cut off from the lava in the Dragon King Hall.

This magma is one of the assets that the current Dragon King inherited from the previous Dragon King.

Therefore, most of these lava flows have been the result of civil wars among the Sea Race, causing massive bloodshed.

As a result, the resentment in the magma lingered for centuries, unwilling to dissipate.

Such deep resentment, hatred, and murderous intent nourished the Banshee Sea Demon, who were Wraith Species.

The barrier Fifth Realms shattered with a deafening roar, but the sea monster's vengeful spirit remained undiminished, advancing Third Realms in succession.

In the blink of an eye, the Banshee Sea Demon arrived at the Eighth Realm of the Heaven Realm.

Shisui had anticipated this, so he was naturally not surprised.

He wasn't even worried that the other party would surpass him in cultivation level and then turn around and bite him, tearing up the agreement on the spot.

It's not just because of the performance-based agreement.

Furthermore, the energy fluctuations emitted by the Shisui 'Kakugan deterred the Wraith Species from making any rash moves.

The Kakugan, with its soul-touching quality originating from the Eye of Madness, is akin to the living encountering death.

If the Banshee Sea Demon breaks the agreement, given these two conditions combined, the Banshee Sea Demon will be the first to suffer.

Seeing that after he completed his advancement, he simply began to quietly regulate the unusually active energy within his body, Shisui slowly spoke.

"Tell me when you're ready, and I'll teleport you directly to the Dragon King Hall."

The ethereal, sirens-like Banshee Sea Demon nodded at the top of its head, indicating it understood.

They all knew very well that there was no time left to plan the assassination.

The Dragon King Clone died, and its soul fragments were also Banshee Sea Demon.

This matter certainly cannot be kept from the Dragon King's true form.

At most, this can only buy some time, delaying the Dragon King's arrival.

This brief delay, with our forces in the shadows and the enemy in the open, provided the perfect opportunity for a surprise attack.

A moment later, the aura surrounding the Banshee Sea Demon suddenly changed.

The leaking energy was completely gathered, causing the Banshee Sea Demon spirit appear small and harmless.

In particular, in Shisui's perception, the presence of the Banshee Sea Demon was reduced to its lowest level.

He had almost completely blended into his surroundings, making it difficult for anyone to notice that he was still in the same spot.

This extraordinary control over their own energy was the key to the successful assassination.

The vengeful spirit was ready, and he nodded to Shisui again.

He deliberately revealed only a trace of energy, pretending it was to facilitate his Shisui perception in determining his location.

Immediately afterwards, Radiant Feathers, who was waiting in the Alternate Space, appeared and precisely surrounded the Banshee Sea Demon.

The area enveloped by Spatial Energy even includes the hidden souls of vengeful spirits that have completely withdrawn their energy.

Shisui could clearly sense that the other party's soul trembled slightly instinctively after realizing that it was completely covered by his energy.

Then, sensing the danger, he withdrew the energy he had deliberately leaked.

Radiant Feathers's sudden appearance and precise location startled the other party.

This also made it clear to the other party that something was amiss.

Shisui wanted to kill him, it would only take a single Radiant Feathers striking his soul.

These subtle, clandestine probes were meaningless to Shisui.

Banshee Sea Demon was well aware of the Shisui's intentions.

But he ignored it.

After the opponent absorbed the energy of the Dragon King Clone that he had extracted into Flesh Crystals.

The dormant Rc Cells have already infiltrated the other party's body.

The opponent's life or death was already in the hands of the Shisui.

The Banshee Sea Demon, however, was unaware of this yet.

Shisui swiftly injected Spatial Energy into Radiant Feathers, instantly tearing open space and creating a temporary Space Rift.

A scorching heat emanated from the Space Rift, and a faint smell of sulfur could be detected.

Without hesitation, the vengeful spirit stepped forward and plunged directly into the Space Rift.

The moment he disappeared, the makeshift Space Rift collapsed instantly.

The connection between the Dragon King Hall and the underground prison was instantly severed.

"Done."

Shisui turned around and opened another, more robust Space Wormhole beside him, disappearing from the prison in the blink of an eye.

He had no intention of waiting here for the assassination results to come out.

After all, according to his calculations, the assassination attempt had a high probability of failure.

In case the enraged Dragon King stirs up the magma here again and launches a large-scale attack on this place to vent his anger.

It would be dangerous for him to stay here.

Meanwhile, on the southern shore of the Moonfall Continent, near a sea cliff.

The inverted, enormous bowl-shaped barrier was riddled with cracks, yet it still steadfastly emitted a pale golden light belonging to Psychic Energy.

The battle inside the barrier was no longer as intense as it had been at the beginning.

The battle gradually shifted from Hu Lingling of the Demon Race suppressing the Sea Race forces to a near-even contest.

Ultimately, things have developed to the point where Hu Lingling is now at a disadvantage.

But the battle remains deadlocked.

Clearly, as long as Hu Lingling has the strength, the Sea Race forces will not be able to truly capture her.

Just as both sides were about to launch another attack, a huge sonic boom suddenly came from outside the barrier.

"Call out!"

A figure dressed in black, whose features were completely obscured, sped towards them from the inland direction.

The next moment, the dark figure struck precisely a spot on the barrier that had a lot of cracks.

That was a weak point that Hu Lingling secretly left in the barrier during a lull in the battle.

Naturally, the key point is that the barrier sealing off the prey inside is simply unable to withstand this attack from the outside.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a loud impact, a crisp "crackling" sound rang out.

The barrier has been breached.

Hu Lingling was constantly focusing some of her attention on the barrier, immediately sensed the gap in it.

Without hesitation, she turned her back to the Sea Race and rushed straight out.

The Sea Race were astonished that she dared to turn her back on them without any precautions.

Without any hesitation, the formation shifted, the Psychic Energy attack was ready, and the target was immediately aimed at the prey.

Then, launch!

"Boom--!"

The attack was stopped.

Hu Lingling brushed past Li Nai'an, who had just arrived.

They didn't exchange any words.

However, at the moment of approach, Hu Lingling channeled some of her Psychic Energy into Li Nai'an.

A protective barrier, difficult for outsiders to detect, appeared on Li Nai'an's body.

Then, Hu Lingling suddenly accelerated and flew away from the battlefield.
