Hiding his strength to slay the enemy, entering Sinking Star Island (please vote with monthly tickets)

The leader of the Blood Slaughter Gang stood atop the mast, waving a blood-red command flag. A skyful of bloody rain turned into countless slender needles, raining down on the Wuya Sect disciples and Boss Chen's men aboard the Spirit Boat.

"Fight to the death!"

Boss Chen gritted his teeth and brought out a bronze shield. Runes flashed across its surface, but it blocked only seventy percent of the blood needles.

The remaining needles pierced their defenses, and screams instantly erupted across the deck.

"Form the Tortoise Shell formation!"

The Procurement Department disciples of the Wuya Sect scrambled into a defensive formation, but the gap in cultivation was too great. Three disciples had their foreheads pierced by blood needles and fell dead on the spot.

Li Yunjing, meanwhile, hid behind the mast in apparent "panic," secretly attaching a strand of his divine sense to the Blood Slaughter Gang's leader.

Blood energy surged through this Golden Core Realm cultivator bandit's body. Clearly, his frenzied attacks had also consumed an enormous amount of magical power.

The opportunity is here.

A sharp gleam flashed through Li Yunjing's eyes as he took out a third-tier Samadhi True Fire Talisman.

He had crafted this talisman himself.

Against the cultivator bandit before him, Li Yunjing had no need to use the fourth-tier talismans Yue Wuya had given him.

This talisman would be enough to deal with the man.

As for an explanation?

That was simple. He could attribute everything to Yue Wuya. If he said Yue Wuya had bestowed the talisman on him, who would dare question that Nascent Soul Realm True Person to verify it?

Boom!

Raging flames blazed up, forming a sea of fire centered on the mast.

"Argh..."

The Blood Slaughter Gang's leader glared with bulging eyes. "You little bastard! You're courting death!"
