Where There's Smoke, There's No Damage

Shisui thus moved through the courtyards where only a few soldiers and foot soldiers remained.

A large amount of bright red crystals were collected into the spatial interlayers around him, so that they could provide Shisui with a constant supply of Psychic Energy.

Incidentally, he wasn't just going in to stockpile grain; he also had a fondness for the treasures in the noble mansions.

Therefore, most of the lucky places that were chosen were Shisui looted.

However, nothing in this world is perfect.

Just as Shisui was reaping his "crops" like a bountiful old farmer, trouble still came knocking.

"Clang!"

The halberd clashed with the Koukaku, producing a crisp, resonant sound like metal striking stone.

Although Shisui had sensed the arrival of the powerful figure beforehand, he managed to block the attack that came from behind.

However, blocking this attack still caused Shisui's blood to surge instantly.

If it weren't for his remarkable self-healing abilities, the ulna in his arm might have already been shattered.

The opponent was also somewhat shocked to see that Shisui had taken the hit.

After all, he wasn't one of those pretentious newcomers to the Profound Realm.

But despite the shock, the intruders still needed to be dealt with.

This Ninth Realm Yellow Realm cultivator not only withstood his sneak attack, but also calmly blocked it back.

This child must not be allowed to live!

"Call!"

The halberd whistled through the air as it was swung, striking again with unstoppable force.

This attack was even more ferocious, imbued with intense Psychic Energy pressure, as it slashed down!

Shisui wasn't stupid; he wouldn't take a direct hit from Profound Realm Fourth-Realm Peak cultivator again.

Indeed, the newcomer's cultivation level was at the Profound Realm Fourth-Realm Peak.

The Profound Realm is a chasm, a watershed that some people can never cross in their entire lives.

Once one enters the Profound Realm, their strength will increase exponentially as their realm advances.

Shisui might be able to easily crush those in the first and Second Realms of the Profound Realm, but he would feel pressured when facing those in the Third Realm Profound Realm.

Not to mention, it's the even higher realm of the Fourth Realm of the Profound Realm.

Shisui became alert and began to circle around the enemy, searching for weaknesses.

Realizing this, the soldier sneered and mocked, "Hey! Show me the courage you have for invading a noble's residence!"

"What? All you dare to do is steal, huh? I really don't know how you killed all these soldiers here."

These few innocuous words naturally had no effect on Shisui.

Amidst the soldier's arrogant voice, the two men's weapons clashed once more.

"Crack! Bang--"

The shockwaves from the battle cracked the surrounding walls, kicking up clouds of dust.

Shisui's hand bones shattered instantly, and then a large number of Rc Cells proliferated under the supply of Psychic Energy, quickly repositioning and bonding the bones and muscles.

He swung his longsword to his side, deflecting the immense force from the halberd.

The long sword was thrown from his hand, completely deflecting the opponent's attack.

Then, taking advantage of the opponent's exhaustion of old strength and lack of new strength, swing your fist straight at the enemy's face.

The soldier was startled; he hadn't expected Shisui to abandon his weapon so easily.

Little did he know that for Ghouls, the body itself is the most suitable and powerful weapon.

Seeing that Shisui's attack was imminent, the soldier simply stopped blocking.

Instead, following the momentum of the chop, he swept the halberd blade horizontally and slashed diagonally upwards towards Shisui's body.

However, the soldiers' predictions were wrong once again.

Shisui did not retract his fist to block or protect himself, but instead took the blow directly.

A cold glint pierced through the dust, raising a cloud of gray mist, and instantly sliced into Shisui's abdomen.

"Nothing special," the soldier said with a mocking smile. "Tell me, who are you? Which faction do you belong to...?"

As the smoke and dust cleared and the soldiers could see the scene within the ashes, they were immediately stunned.

The sharp halberd blade was firmly stuck in the spine, unable to penetrate any further.

Before the soldier could even finish his question, Shisui's wounds were already visibly healing.

Even the section of weapon that remained inside his body was devoured by the domineering Rc Cells.

The opponent's cultivation level was only at the Yellow Realm Ninth-Realm Peak, and this was definitely not a recovery speed that a Yellow Realm Human Race could achieve.

"Ah, yeah, nothing special~"

This injury wouldn't even qualify as a minor injury for Ghoul.

The soldier immediately tried to release his weapon from his guard, but it was too late.

The Rinkaku Scorpion Tail suddenly shot out, aiming directly for the enemy's head!

"Bang!"

Blood splattered everywhere; the soldier traded his left hand for a chance to live.

A sharp pain shot through his head, and the soldier gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the instinctive convulsions of his body.

He paid no attention to the condition of his wounds, simply using the tattered strips of cloth to tie himself up, and then focused his attention back on the enemy.

Tiny black spots silently seeped into his flesh and bones.

At this point, he had abandoned his weapon and retreated more than ten meters, creating distance between himself and the monster in front of him.

"Who... who are you... no, what... what kind of monster are you?!"

The overwhelming fear, beyond his comprehension, coupled with the murderous aura emanating from the monster, caused him to tremble uncontrollably.

Distorted limbs, scarlet eyes, writhing flesh.

All of this reminded the soldier that the monster before him did not belong to any species he remembered.

His fear of his natural enemies and his will to survive caused him to unleash a burst of Psychic Energy far exceeding what he had ever experienced before.

However, the dizziness caused by excessive blood loss caused his concentration and perception in battle to decline rapidly.

Shisui sniffed the blood emanating from the other person, then casually scooped up a piece of bright red crystal and popped it into his mouth.

His abdominal laceration has now completely healed.

The situation reversed, and the positions of hunter and prey suddenly changed.

The soldier watched Shisui's every move with bated breath. He knew very well that if this dragged on any longer, he would be the first to die.

Coincidentally, Shisui also had no intention of dawdling any longer.

He still has many hidden treasures to explore; he's very busy.

Shisui slowly walked towards the soldier, his Rinkaku swaying slightly behind him, the sharp stingers of his tail flashing with a cold light.

One step, two steps, three steps.

"Clang!"

The soldier's standard-issue spatial ring reflected a barely noticeable light, and a dagger appeared instantly.

The soldier swung his sword with his right hand, deflecting the thrusting needle.

However, his killer move wasn't in his hand.

The soldier's specially designed tactical boots popped out blades, and in the instant he swung the scorpion's tail, his left foot suddenly rose high.

A swift and deadly side kick, delivered with the force of a dragon, aimed without hesitation at the enemy's neck.

However, the blade suddenly got stuck for a moment during its movement.

As a result, before the blade even touched Shisui, the soldier's head was chopped off first.

Shisui gently pinched the dagger, which was still moving forward due to inertia, between his index and middle fingers, and watched the soldier fall to the ground with an indifferent gaze.

Crimson and speckled black toxins oozed from the soldier's neck.

Beside him, eight ferocious Bikaku and twisted.

With Shisui wave of his hand, Zi Sui nonchalantly gathered and condensed the splashed crimson.

They then left the deserted mansion, leaving behind only a mess.

"Click."

Just as Shisui took a bite of the newly acquired crystal, a crisp sound echoed within his body.

He paused in his tracks toward his next target, his eyes widening slightly as crimson veins bloomed at the corners of his eyes.

A moment later, he changed direction and decisively rushed towards another mansion that exuded the aura of a formidable enemy.

In those scarlet, Kakugan, a fierce desire for battle and slaughter surged and boiled.

His bottleneck in the Profound Realm has finally loosened!
