"How could it be a one-hit kill! Just one strike! And to die by his own blade! What kind of monster did he encounter?" As Wolf Tooth fled rapidly through the jungle, Heart recalled the moment he discovered Blade's corpse. The bone-deep horror of that sight lingered in his mind.
Blade's strength, while slightly inferior to his own, was not far off. His cunning attacks and agile movements compensated for any shortcomings in raw power.
Against humans, as long as a dagger could hit its target, the slight difference in strength became inconsequential compared to missing entirely.
Yet, such a formidable opponent—an ace assassin whose killing ability was on par with his own—had met an inexplicable death in this coastal jungle!
A single strike had shattered Blade's attack and 'conveniently' killed him. From the corpse, it seemed like stepping on an ant—an instant end. The half-broken blade embedded in the forehead of another nearby corpse provided a glimpse into what had transpired.
Aside from Blade's body, the occasional remains discovered along the way made even someone as mentally resilient as Wolf Tooth feel a sense of helplessness.
Although the hidden presence lurking in the shadows might not have been targeting him directly, it was clear that Blade's death indicated hostility towards their side.
In this situation, although the mission was incomplete, retreat was necessary. He needed to leave; there would be opportunities to find an assassination chance later. Staying behind would almost certainly lead to death!
"Well, it’s fine. Reaching this point is already something; life rarely goes as planned," Yang Xiaoyou said after briefly searching without finding any targets. Heart couldn't help but sigh.
Blade was dead, Ming Mei Shuang Ying had defected; while it wasn't a devastating blow, it was still a significant loss for Revenant.
This time, due to the confrontation between both sides, resolving issues had gone relatively smoothly aside from accumulating his own killing intent, and he had even managed to pin down Duh.
Otherwise, if he had faced Blade, Wolf Tooth, Duh, and that effeminate-looking Bloodied Garb man simultaneously, even he would have found it incredibly challenging.
Even if he could eliminate two of them instantly by merging his powers, the consumption and burden on himself would make facing the remaining two extremely difficult.
Moreover, due to the extreme consumption revealing vulnerabilities in that moment, after just killing two people, he would likely suffer two attacks in return. Against such high-level opponents, even with his resilience surpassing human limits, the outcome might still result in heavy injuries while taking down two foes at most and severely wounding another two.
Moreover, he had only killed a few more Rolo. His mental state had dropped below the critical threshold, and now he could no longer suppress the surge of brutality within him. If he were to forcefully eliminate his opponent at the cost of serious injury, the consequences awaiting him would surely be quite delightful.
To ensure a safe retreat without injury, he could only choose to kill one person and then flee without looking back.
Fortunately, his handling and choices had been quite good. With the assistance of Dream Butterfly, that Puppet had played an unexpectedly effective role. Under such circumstances, achieving the current results was remarkably smooth.
Now, due to his own mental consumption and the excessive killings, his body was starting to rebel. In this situation, Wolf Tooth's departure was not entirely a bad thing. If he forced himself to kill one more, he might just cross the critical point and create significant trouble. Moreover, if an unexpected event occurred during the battle and he exposed enough vulnerabilities for Wolf Tooth to strike back, there was a real possibility of turning the tide against him.
In the end, while assisting Duh against that delicate fellow Mian Bai Wu Xu, Yang Xiaoyou didn’t even fire his gun; he merely relied on the threat posed by his presence.
This method could only target those who understood momentum or were close to its threshold; for ordinary people, it was less intimidating than the dark muzzle of a gun itself.
He approached Dream Butterfly and saw her sitting on the ground with her knees hugged to her chest, lost in thought. Yang Xiaoyou let out a sigh of relief. Although this fellow had those storage devices she made for self-defense, her somewhat clumsy demeanor still caused him some concern.
Her snow-white long legs were slightly parted, and with her loose shirt draping over her, one could vaguely see the bottom of her swimsuit beneath. The half-hidden sight added an extra touch of allure.
He couldn’t help but notice that although her chest was slightly smaller, she was indeed a beauty, not inferior at all compared to those other outstanding girls.
"Your aura has become a bit strange," Dream Butterfly remarked casually after glancing at him while watching two crabs fight in front of her. She tilted her head slightly in curiosity.
"Well, I suppose so. But usually, after a month or two of self-cultivation, it should be fine—just a stubborn habit," Yang Xiaoyou shrugged and managed a wry smile.
However, soon after that, he felt a refreshing sensation wash over his mind. The slight dizziness caused by the backlash of his murderous intent faded significantly, as if his entire being was entering a tranquil state where all worries seemed to dissipate; it felt as though his soul had been cleansed.
He didn’t know how long it lasted—perhaps just a second or maybe even a century—until Yang Xiaoyou was jolted back from that comforting state by a gentle pat on his shoulder.
The moment he stepped out, he felt a wave of relief wash over him, as if he had shed a few pounds. His spirit felt light, and even the oppressive aura that had been difficult to suppress seemed to have grown lazy, no longer pushing back against him.
Although it had not dissipated and still lingered, this made the upcoming tasks much easier.
At that moment, Yang Xiaoyou finally noticed the not-so-pleasant expression on Liu Lianyue's face and the cheerful smile of Fia. Besides them, several other people stood around, including other travelers from the tour group and even some police officers.
Charming Shadow was also standing at the edge of the crowd, grinning and giving him a thumbs-up while making a 'gd' gesture.
"How long are you going to hold on? How dare you take advantage while others are in a dream!" The voice came from their tour guide, who was also Dream Butterfly's Brain-dead Fan.
Hearing those words, Yang Xiaoyou looked down and realized that the fragrant figure nestled in his arms had fallen asleep. His hands naturally wrapped around her waist.
The soft touch, the alluring scent filling his nostrils, and the warm, humid breath she exhaled made Yang Xiaoyou feel an inexplicable urge to hold on tighter.
However, he soon reacted; his change was likely related to this First Generation Body girl. After feeling her pocket and discovering that all the jade pieces inside were shattered, Yang Xiaoyou understood that his improvement was directly linked to Dream Butterfly.
With this thought in mind, he felt even less inclined to let go. He definitely needed to find an opportunity to carry her away.
Dinner was planned for later. Sigh, during the weekend he would have to find time to go to the hospital. He wondered if tomorrow's chapter would be difficult to write. Regretting it (Your support is my greatest motivation).
