"Dark" and "Kill"

"Pfft—!"

This was the umpteenth time this sound had echoed in the hall.

The sound gradually transformed into a rhythm, without any pause, like a beautiful melody, like precise musical notes, constantly echoing in the air.

However, each time that melodious sound rang out, it could take away a life.

The same principle applies even if the other party is a monster that is different from humans.

"Bang—!"

The sound of flames burning immediately followed the pleasant tearing sound and slowly rose up.

However, the object of the flames was the body of a Crimson Realm Denizens.

In that instant, the Crimson Realm Denizens was swiftly and decisively killed.

In a situation where the throat has been slit.

The dagger that had severed the throat of this Crimson Realm Denizens sped up like a flash of light, heading straight for another Crimson Realm Denizens.

"Pfft—!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh suddenly echoed.

The Crimson Realm Denizens didn't even have time to react before the incoming blade pierced his heart. His eyes widened in disbelief and a blank expression on his face as he slowly collapsed.

The Killer Demon, wielding a dagger, turned around, his pair of Ice-Blue Demon Eyes gleaming with a terrifying light, his entire body exuding an extremely frightening killing intent, and charged into the crowd on the other side.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Several Crimson Realm Denizens roared and growled, leading countless phosphorescent soldiers, preparing to deliver a head-on blow to Fang Li.

However, Fang Li's speed and reaction were far too poor, making it impossible for him to keep up.

Then, the Killer Demon, wielding a dagger and with Magic Eye wide open, charged forward like a bullet leaving a gun, stepping through the cold air.

"Choke----!"

The blade flashed.

"Pfft—!"

Flames flew.

At this moment, Fang Li's figure completely transformed into Oni, carrying a howling force and chaotic airflow, charging back and forth through the crowd at an astonishing speed that the naked eye could not perceive. The Moon Blade in his hand brought up a dazzling blade light, like an endless sword dance, reaping one life after another.

The Crimson World's apostles, accompanied by Phosphorus's soldiers, repeatedly surrounded Fang Li figure.

Fang Li, however, moved through the army like an all-pervasive gust of wind. His dagger was like an indestructible divine weapon, instantly annihilating any opponent who came near him, as fragile as a piece of paper.

Under such circumstances, the phosphorus fell in swathes, and was completely burned away in bursts of fire.

As for those Crimson Realm Denizens rose to become Patrol Officer through their superior combat prowess at the "Bal Masqué," at this moment, they seemed to have become the most pathetic fodder, instantly turning into minced meat and mangled bodies under the slash of that sharp dagger, which resembled the scythe of death.

"Well...!"

"Ah...!"

"Ugh...!"

A brief, rapid scream became the accompaniment.

"Pfft—pfft—pfft—!"

The sound of flesh being pierced by a sharp weapon echoed throughout the scene.

In this one-sided massacre with no suspense, countless soldiers fell at the feet of the Killer Demon, bidding farewell to the world's prosperity with resentment and fear.

Fang Li, however, charged into the crowd with a cold expression. His figure was like a shadow, constantly moving through the hall, killing all the attacking apostles and phosphorescent beings on the spot without showing the slightest mercy.

Such a murderous figure is the most suitable backdrop for Fang Li.

Fan Xinglu once said this to Fang Li.

"The so-called Assassin can be divided into two types in a broad sense."

One type is "dark."

One type is "killing."

"Dark" refers to covert operations.

"Kill" refers to a fatal attack.

"The former conceals its aura, tracks, and form, like a venomous snake, ready to strike at any moment, targeting the target's weaknesses and vital points, pursuing instantaneous killing."

"The latter emphasizes attack, speed and weaponry, like a ferocious beast, moving with thunderous force, aiming at the destruction and annihilation of the target, pursuing rapid killing."

"Therefore, depending on the different combat techniques, the two combat methods are completely different."

"Those who have mastered the essence of 'darkness' fight by surprise attack."

"Those who have mastered the essence of 'killing' employ a method of swift and powerful attacks."

"And your talent and ability are specifically designed for the word 'kill'."

"In that case, rather than the methods of 'darkness,' you should master the way of 'killing.'"

It must be said that Fan Xinglu's words truly hit the nail on the head regarding the essence of Assassination Arts.

Putting aside other things, just take the Seven Nights Assassination Technique. It is clearly a combat technique derived from the aspect of "killing". The user's advantage lies in surprise and a one-hit kill. There is no technique for concealing one's aura or hiding one's figure in it.

Fang Li's talent lies in "killing," not in "darkness."

Therefore, when Fang Li learned the Seven Nights Assassination Technique, he immediately grasped the skills of Flash Sheath and Flash Run. As for the Assassin skills, he only grasped them after Fang Li had thoroughly studied Fan Xinglu's scroll.

Therefore, stealth is merely an auxiliary skill for Fang Li.

Fang Li's true combat skills still lie in killing, not in ambushes.

Just like the term "Killer Demon," it's all about bathing oneself in blood and wailing.

The purpose is simply to harvest lives.

All of this was clearly seen by Libelzard.

"Why..."

The tall, humanoid beetle was clenching its fists.

"Why..."

The powerful Crimson Realm Denizens trembled.

"How could a human slaughter our Crimson World Apostles like this?!"

This is something that Libelzard simply cannot understand.

"Hateful!"

At that moment, with an angry roar, Libelzard ripped off the rosary hanging around his neck.

"Buzz—!"

The rosary beads that were forcefully torn apart trembled slightly and burst into flames, hovering around Libelzard like a vortex, disrupting the surrounding air.

"Superior!"

At Libelzard's low growl, fist-sized rosary beads suddenly shot out.

During this process, the prayer beads suddenly burst into flames, gradually transforming into tall figures.

Surprisingly, they were all modeled after Libelzard.

A considerable number of Libelzard immediately roared and charged towards Fang Li, pouncing on him.

Fang Li was fighting his way through the crowd, sensed the approaching aura and turned his head sharply to look over.

With those Ice-Blue Demon Eyes.
