Boom!
Shui Yue, wielding a trident, became locked in battle with seven Life Lamp Realm assassins.
Buzz!
Although Shui Yue's cultivation was inferior to the assassins before her, her formidable physique, combined with the Mermen Clan's unique sonic waves, allowed her to seize the upper hand the instant they clashed.
The two sides exchanged more than ten moves, and the seven assassins' combined attack formation worked in flawless coordination.
Just as Shui Yue was about to fall into a disadvantage, Lu Mingyu, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly spoke.

Lu Mingyu covered his mouth with his left hand and coughed violently, while his right hand clutched a purple talisman.
"Retreat!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the remaining six assassins swiftly withdrew from the scene.
Watching the six figures gradually vanish, Shui Yue turned and asked, "What you just said wasn't a way to break the formation?"
"Of course not."

"Without overwhelming strength and extraordinary means, it is generally very difficult to break the formation from within."
"Besides, you could hear what I said, and so could they. If they had guarded against it beforehand, we would never have been able to break the formation."
"So you deliberately threw out bait to make them reveal a flaw?"
"That's right!"
After receiving that
