"No one has ever been able to withstand this move of mine!" Sun Fei gripped his staff tightly with one hand, while his other hand traced an incredibly profound arc in front of his chest.
The leader of the Crimson Mercenary Group looked even more solemn.
He sensed waves of fire elemental fluctuations emanating from the surrounding flames, as if some terrifying power was gathering.
"If you accept this move, I will never set foot on this land again!" Sun Fei coldly raised his head, and a faint red arc of light appeared around his body, revealing a powerful confidence.
The pressure on the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps increased even more; he had to maintain full concentration of all his strength and mind at all times.
The mysterious mage wearing the angular demon mask had already put immense pressure on him. Furthermore, high-level mages possess incredibly strong magical shields when casting spells in actual combat; to launch a fatal sneak attack, one would need to be several levels stronger than their opponent. He wasn't confident he could deliver One-Hit Kill position, hoping this killing machine would leave quickly after one exchange.
"Get ready, take this!" Sun Fei shouted.
The Blood Blade Mercenary Corps tensed up. His strange, dark blue robe made of magical beast hide emitted a faint blue glow. He frantically circulated his power, waiting for his opponent's earth-shattering attack.
Just then--
An invisible ripple suddenly spread silently behind the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps.
A strange, dark dagger sprang from the void, its trajectory as unpredictable as a gazelle's horn, leaving no trace of its presence. It flashed past in an instant, piercing through the Blood Blade Captain's protective Dou Qi, tearing apart the unidentified demonic beast robe that shimmered with a strange, eerie blue light, and piercing into his body.
"Damn it... get out of my way!"
The Blood Blade Captain's entire focus was on the terrifying, mysterious mage before him. He never dreamed that someone could silently infiltrate to within a meter of him, effortlessly piercing through his peak Dou Qi and tearing apart his exceptionally protective Blue Fox battle robe before stabbing into his body.
By the time he realized the danger had descended silently and tried to react, it was too late.
The dark, oddly shaped dagger, seemingly capable of slicing through anything, easily pierced his heart from behind like the Death God's Touch.
The hilt of the dagger was held in the hand of a frail, short figure.
"No..." The Blood Blade Mercenary Corps roared in despair, fighting like a cornered beast. He channeled the last bit of his Dou Qi spirit and struck back with his palm, sending the attacker flying. This action, however, worsened his injuries. Blood gushed from the blurry hole in his back. The alien dagger that had pierced his body possessed terrifying destructive power, leaving a shocking and fatal wound on his body.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough... you... you despicable... you..." Blood Blade Captain struggled, staggering, almost unable to stand.
"Despicable... Hahahaha, is this what you call despicable?" Sun Fei, standing atop the fiery statue, flashed to within ten meters of him, walking step by step across the flames, a disdainful smile playing on his lips, "But why do I feel this isn't despicable enough? Someone like you, I really want to make you die a hundred times over in a hundred of the most cruel ways, but alas, you only have this one worthless life... What, you still want to die at my hands like a warrior? Bah! You—don't—deserve!!"
"Heh heh... you... who exactly are you?" Blood Blade Leader's heart was filled with resentment.
His vision was beginning to darken. If the person in front of him hadn't been engulfed in flames, he might not have even been able to catch a glimpse of them. The scenery in his vision overlapped one after another, and the whole world seemed chaotic and disordered... Before he died, he had to know who had killed him.
"I am..." Sun Fei walked to his side, and like an old friend whispering in his ear, he whispered his name.
"You... are... Xiang..." Blood Blade Captain's eyes widened, his pupils filled with shock.
"Now that you know who I am, you can die in peace!"
Sun Fei shifted his stance, grabbed the dagger still embedded in the Blood Blade leader's back, pulled it out, and a spurt of blood shot out. Then, with his other hand, he grabbed the Blood Blade leader's hair, the strange black dagger in his hand flashing with an arc of light, and with a whoosh, killed this ruthless leader who Zongheng the mercenary world of the capital for over a decade.
