As expected, things turned out exactly as Li Nai'an had predicted.

The next morning, not long after Li Nai'an got up, she heard a knock on the door.

She opened the door and saw the bodyguard who had given her the task yesterday.

The guard stood solemnly at the door, holding a document in his hand.

He nodded when he saw Li Nai'an, then went into the room and placed the documents on the table.

"This is the approximate location of the target," the guard said. "You need to find him as soon as possible and complete the mission."

Li Nai'an picked up the document and carefully examined its contents.

According to the data, the target appeared in the Huaihuang Continent Willow City just an hour ago.

That important military stronghold belonging to the Human Race was razed to the ground in just a few moments.

The section of Turbid Water flowing through Willow City was thus forced to change course.

Even from these few words, the oppressive aura of the Heaven-Controlling Realm was overwhelming.

Li Nai'an looked up from the documents.

She noticed that there was another person following behind the guard.

It was a child who looked to be just an adult, with a pair of fluffy cat ears with yellow and black stripes on his head.

Clearly, he has the bloodline of the Spirit Cat Species.

His eyes were golden, and when you looked into them, you couldn't help but marvel at their beauty.

Li Nai'an recognized the other person's identity.

"Miao Xingyu..." she murmured.

Miao Xingyu, an important experimental subject in the Wanren Laboratory. His talent [Nine Lives Cat] allows him to revive his body at the cost of his own energy after death.

However, this talent also has its drawbacks.

Crossing the boundary between life and death inevitably requires a great deal of energy.

Therefore, after each resurrection, the level of Miao Xingyu will inevitably decline.

Moreover, if his soul dies, then he is truly and completely dead.

"Captain Li Nai'an, this is Miao Xingyu."

The guard explained, his tone as if he were simply delivering a regular package.

Li Nai'an was not surprised by this.

Both the Laboratory and higher-ups have this attitude towards unfinished, semi-finished products.

She's used to it.

After confirming the delivery of the mission and the mission items, the guards did not linger any longer.

He turned and left the room, leaving Li Nai'an and Miao Xingyu staring at each other in bewilderment.

Li Nai'an had no intention of getting to know him better.

In the current world situation, I could be killed at any moment.

Therefore, there is no need to maintain relationships with colleagues.

"We'll depart in three minutes."

She said it bluntly.

"Um."

The Miao Xingyu.

Clearly, he also had no intention of building friendly relationships with others.

He quietly walked to the corner of the room, sat down, curled up, and waited to leave.

On the other side, in the Huaihuang Continent Willow City.

This place was originally a very important military port in the lower reaches of the Turbid Water.

Before Mao City was destroyed, the two cooperated and were able to provide a steady supply of large quantities of materials to the Human Race military district in central Huaihuang Continent every year.

After the destruction of Mao City, Willow City's importance rose once again.

As a transit point between the Huaihuang Continent and Mao City, the Human Race army was sent to the southern shore of the Moonfall Continent via him.

Therefore, the Human Race army stationed there can be said to have both quantity and quality.

In addition, the outflowing lake next to Willow City is quite vast, and the port built on it is also of a large scale.

Therefore, the Human Race also docked a large number of ships there.

Although Willow City suffered heavy losses after the natural disaster six months ago, it managed to preserve most of its workforce.

And more than half of the warships and artillery.

However, precisely because of this, they were the first to be targeted by Shisui.

An hour before Li Nai'an received the intelligence, Shisui slowly appeared in the sky above Willow City.

The fresh scent of his prey filled his nostrils, causing his Rc Cells to circulate excitedly.

When he appeared, he made no effort to conceal his presence.

As a result, the barrier above Willow City was disturbed by the aura of the Heaven-Controlling Realm in the next second.

The city was instantly filled with the piercing sound of air raid sirens.

Shisui looked at the prey at his feet and instinctively headed towards the underground air-raid shelter.

A hint of approval appeared on his face.

They even managed to gather on their own; that was a huge help.

The surrounding space fluctuated violently, and Psychic Energy being rapidly extracted.

With the Composite Radiant Feathers as its core, a Chain Bomb was instantly replicated.

Then, he was Shisui and violently released!

"Boom--!"

The first explosion rang out, the earth trembled, and the protective barrier outside the city collapsed instantly.

Immediately afterwards, the "continuous explosion" of the Chain Bombs began to take effect.

The Composite Radiant Feathers instantly absorbed a large amount of Psychic Energy that had been covered and disturbed by the explosion, and accumulated power in just one millisecond.

Then, another loud "boom" rang out.

The second explosion occurred within Willow City.

Along with the explosion, there were also cries and screams from Human Race.

Everything happened so fast that the garrison in Willow City didn't react until after the second explosion.

They immediately split into two groups, with the group skilled in restoration going to try and salvage Willow City.

Another group of people, however, headed towards Shisui without hesitation.

They attempted to buy time by attacking Shisui.

However, Shisui was too lazy to waste time with them.

He had to move on to the next location to scavenge for food; he didn't have time to play with his prey.

Kakugan appeared.

The next moment, an immense pressure poured down like a tidal wave, as if a giant mountain had collapsed.

The oppressive aura slammed directly into the faces of the Human Race had come to resist the Shisui.

Before these people can process the fear in their brains, they will feel excruciating pain first.

This oppressive force not only impacted their mental world but also caused devastating damage on a real-world level.

"Bang!"

A deafening roar erupted, and a force even more terrifying than an explosion burst forth instantly.

Those who tried to resist were like leaves fluttering in a storm, slammed back into Willow City by this powerful force.

When these people struggled to climb out of the craters they had created with their own bodies, they were all stunned by the sight before them.

The once bustling Willow City, with its towering buildings, has suddenly become unusually flat, even sunken.

Looking out, one can clearly see the line of water on the horizon of Wailiu Lake next to the city.

The once towering buildings were now twisted and deformed, as if flattened by an invisible giant hand.

The ground also sank due to this enormous pressure.

The basements and air-raid shelters that were originally hidden underground were also crushed.

Those who sought refuge inside were also crushed, without even a chance to struggle.

The stench of blood permeated the air, growing stronger and more nauseating.

However, for Shisui, all of this was merely a warm-up before the food was served.
