Although the other party didn't notice them, this action was clearly intended to find their pursuers.

If we don't follow them, once we're deep in the mountains and forests, finding them again will be difficult.

"Go for it! They've given us a chance, why not take it?"

"If he keeps following these convoys out, I'll find it troublesome!"

Compared to Lin Yuhsia, Suika seemed much happier.

In her view, the other party's cleverness was tantamount to sending lambs to the slaughter.

If they stayed in the crowd, they would have to follow for a while longer to meet Wei Yenwu's requirements, and they might even be discovered by him.

But things are different now.

Whether to shake off their pursuers or for some other reason, the other party deliberately broke away from the main group and entered the mountains and forests.

This was a wonderful surprise for Suika.

However, the two did not rush to follow. After all, there was only one path on this mountain road, and the other party would not be able to escape far even if they wanted to.

After waiting a while and making sure there were no tails following them, they chased after them along the path.

"How are you going to deal with them?" An hour later, before it got completely dark, the two caught up with their target vehicle.

At this point, the other party stopped at the other end of a U-shaped mountain road.

Meanwhile, Suika and the other two had just reached the corner on this side.

Lin Yuhsia was about to drive around when Suika stopped her.

As a precaution, Suika used tiny clones to scout ahead after entering the mountains.

They just happened to notice the other person's movements.

It's fair to say that this opponent is quite intelligent.

The people chasing them from the mountains and forests are most likely driving; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to catch up with them, who were also traveling by car.

On such a U-shaped bend, once it appears, it will inevitably be spotted by the other side.

If it weren't for Suika, anyone else would have been discovered by now, and the only way to deal with them would be a direct assault.

After the two got out of the car, they walked to the corner of the road and looked to the other side. Only after they spotted each other did Lin Yuhsia ask Suika what she thought.

"There are seven people in total. It looks like they are preparing to resupply, but they haven't set up tents, so they will probably continue on their way after they finish eating."

We can still travel in the dark now, but if it gets any later, we'll have to use lights.

Once we turn on the lights, they will definitely discover our presence.

Lin Yuhsia counted the number of people on the other side as she spoke.

"Don't worry, they can't leave!" Suika said calmly after taking another sip from the Ibuki Gourd.

"Hmm, why?"

"Because it's foggy..."

Where is the fog?

"Coming right here!"

When Lin Yuhsia turned around, she found that Suika had disappeared behind her, and a Dense Fog had enveloped her without her noticing.

"Don't panic, just wait. I'll be right back." With that, Suika's voice disappeared again.

On the other side, the people who were eating suddenly looked up.

"Why is it foggy?" the leader asked.

"I don't know, but foggy weather is normal." The driver was quite calm.

After all, it's not unusual to encounter patches of fog in the mountains on a cloudy day.

"Will this affect our plans?"

"Probably not, since the area affected by this kind of fog is very small. We just need to be careful when we pass through it."

Moreover, the fog blocked the road, so even if there were pursuers behind, they couldn't get through.

You mean Old Li... Old Li?"

The driver asked his companion, who was standing guard nearby and observing the way, "..."

But to my surprise, I received no response even after several attempts to exchange names.

Everyone immediately became alert.

"Everyone, get closer to the fire!" the leader shouted, and the rest of the men grabbed their weapons and moved toward the fire.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the seven people who were perfectly fine just moments ago were now reduced to five.

"Old Li, Second Brother?" someone called out, trying to contact the two who had disappeared, but received no response.

"Damn it, it's an attack! There's something wrong with this fog!"

With this Dense Fog, there were two fewer people on their side. Even a fool would realize that there was something wrong with the fog.

But as he spoke, the fog thickened.

Even though all five of them were leaning against the fire, they could barely see each other anymore.

Before the leader could come up with a solution, suddenly a person not far away was pulled into the fog as if grabbed by something in the fog, with a scream. The next second, the scream disappeared, and the person vanished without a trace.

"Third brother!" One of them reached out to touch the spot where the missing person had disappeared, but found nothing.

"Damn it! Ugh, you damn guy, come out here!"

At his roar, two dark figures suddenly darted out.

He instinctively swung his long sword and slashed.

The next second, the shadowy figure was cleaved in two.

But instead of being happy, he looked incredulous.

Only after swinging his knife did he realize that the one he had cut in two was the very same third brother he had just mentioned.

Before he could recover from the shock of killing his brother with his own hands, another dark figure loomed over him, and the long knife in the other's hand pierced through his chest.

"Second brother, you..." He turned to look at the other person, about to ask why he did this, when he realized that the other person had already lost all vital signs.

After dealing with the armed men, Suika turned her attention to the other three.

Two people were still standing by the fire, not daring to make a move despite witnessing what was happening, hoping the firelight would protect them.

The last person then stealthily ran towards the direction of the vehicle in the dark, relying on their memory.

Suika, who was by the fire, wasn't in a hurry. They couldn't escape, so she set her sights on the person who had tried to run away.

The person running towards the vehicle felt as if they were submerged in water after only a few steps.

His body was being squeezed from all sides.

Moving his limbs became increasingly difficult, and breathing gradually became more and more challenging.

"I don't want to die here... no..." He struggled desperately forward, but to no avail. The pressure around him increased, and soon he felt his bones begin to break. He quickly lost his life in excruciating pain.

After dealing with him, Suika then looked at the last two people.

She recalled that Lin Yuhsia's words were to kill all the escapees, not to leave any survivors.

She then reached out her hand to the two people beside the flames.

Before the two could react, they suddenly felt the surrounding temperature rise rapidly.

The fire next to them suddenly burst into flames.

The high temperature instantly burned the airway and lungs upon inhalation.

The intense pain caused the two of them to clutch their necks and kneel down.

Before they could even beg for mercy, the surrounding temperature rose again.

The bonfire that they had used as a shield just a moment ago had now become a weapon that would kill them.

The flames quickly engulfed the two men, and in less than a minute they were reduced to charred remains.

After doing all this, Suika cleared the fog and picked up the communicator, saying...

"It's all taken care of, come on over!"

"Okay!" Upon hearing Suika's words, Lin Yuhsia turned around, got into her three-wheeled vehicle, and quickly navigated the U-turn to arrive here.

Looking at the bizarre deaths of the group of people, even Lin Yuhsia couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

"How did you do that!"

"That's it. Just making good use of Originium Arts. These people are of average skill and don't fight blindly. Once they're separated in the Dense Fog, taking them down will be a piece of cake."

Suika stated that if you don't invest in Blind Combat as a melee skill, dying is pointless.

Chapter 387 Flying Motorcycle

The night was dark and windy, and all was dark.

Corpses were scattered all around the road.

Normal people would be considered very brave if they weren't scared half to death in this kind of environment.

However, Lin Yuhsia is clearly not a normal person.

She meticulously examined the condition and identity of each person, confirming that all the dead were her targets. Only then did she turn her gaze to Suika, who was sitting on the roof of a car drinking not far away. The darkness of the night could not conceal the gleam in her eyes.

"How did you manage to do that?"

"Control the field of vision, then just shoot casually. After all, it's incredibly easy for a normal person to beat a blind person."

Suika didn't think there was anything worth asking.

After all, the difference in strength between the two sides was already huge, and their vision was completely blocked by him. If he was prepared to take advantage of the situation, even if the big shots from the Sarkaz Ten Royal Court came, they would still be defeated by him.

"No, no, no, the key is not their deaths, but how they died."

Lin Yuhsia pointed at the corpse.

"Burned to death, necks snapped, bodies crushed, cut in half... Oh, this might have been accidental."

Did you know that even the most professional person who comes here would feel that at least three people were involved in the attack after seeing these corpses?

Add to that the fog that almost completely blocks out all visibility.

You're a born killer.

Are you interested in working for me?

For the first time, Lin Yuhsia was so eager to recruit someone.

"Forget it, I don't need the money. They didn't provoke me this time, I wouldn't even bother with it."

Suika shook her head; she wasn't some bloodthirsty killer.

Although she is ruthless when she takes action, she always adheres to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me."

Otherwise, given her abilities, she could be far more efficient than those Sarkaz mercenaries at earning extra money by killing people on the road.

Hearing that Suika had rejected her, Lin Yuhsia calmed down.

If she were so easily bribed, she would have been recruited by Wei Yenwu long ago; she wouldn't have had a chance to be recruited at all.

Judging from the tone of the other party, even if it was Governor Wei, it was only a temporary partner.

Thinking about it this way, the regret she had just felt almost disappeared.

After throwing all the bodies into the valley, the two returned the way they came.

When they arrived at the foot of Lungmen City, the two of them looked at each other.

"Hmm, not going in?" Suika looked at Lin Yuhsia.

Lin Yuhsia spread her hands

"I thought it would take at least several days, so I didn't give them advance notice."
