Xing could not comprehend why Yan Sui Fa was so ruthless. After losing the Fire Extinguishing Strike, his squad's strength had decreased by at least thirty percent, turning the battle into a one-sided massacre.
"Are you from the Dark Realm? Do you realize that you're provoking a war between the Dark Realm and the Dark Realm?" Xing shouted at Yan Sui Fa while fending off his attacks.
"From the moment you accepted this mission, our Dark Realm and your Dark Realm were already locked in a fight to the death," Yan Sui Fa replied coldly, continuing his slaughter.
Damn it, how dare he target the goddess in his heart! The goddess was already taken. It must be your fault; if you hadn't pursued Zhao Fairy, she wouldn't have encountered her husband.
Yan Sui Fa had completely lost control. He had never seen Zuo Dao before and had no information about him. After Zhao Yanwu returned from this outing, Zuo Dao appeared and became her husband. He naturally assumed that Zuo Dao must have encountered Zhao Yanwu by chance, perhaps even in a heroic rescue scenario.
If it weren't for the Dark Realm hunting Zhao Yanwu, this wouldn't have happened. He didn't hate Zuo Dao but redirected his anger towards the Dark Realm.
"What is her identity? How could she make the Dark Realm go to war with us?" Xing felt fear; no matter how fierce their previous conflicts had been, nothing like this had ever occurred.
"Is her identity something you are entitled to know?" Yan Sui Fa sneered while reaping lives. With his cultivation nearing the Celestial King Realm, slaughtering Celestial Sovereign-level figures was not too difficult; he could kill them with precision. The enhancement of Celestial Domain Intent was not to be underestimated.
This was a deadlock. Even if Xing was determined to fight to the death, he could not break through the obstacles before him. Yan Sui Fa's intention was clear: surround him with numbers and then attack his own teammates.
The remaining members of the Execution Squad understood the situation on the battlefield and bravely charged forward, hoping to hold back the Dark Realm's forces long enough to create an escape opportunity for Xing.
But how could Yan Sui Fa allow them such a chance? As their numbers dwindled, the Dark Realm began to adopt a strategy of encirclement and annihilation.
The two squads were not significantly different in strength, but the Execution Squad had already suffered losses and was nearly half-destroyed. Under Yan Sui Fa's storm-like assault, they were like leaves swaying in a tempest—fragile and easily crushed, falling one after another.
As he watched his squad members dwindle, Xing realized he was running out of options. Those teammates also understood what awaited them—death. The killers who entered the Dark Realm as part of the Execution Squad were all ruthless individuals. Seeing this situation unfold, some squad members began to self-destruct.
Yan Sui Fa felt this breath keenly. "Self-Detonation." Before he could finish his words, a series of explosions sounded in the field. One by one, the team members were blown away while bleeding, and the Dark Sect Practitioner in the center was blown to pieces. Watching the team members self-destruct one by one, Xing burst into laughter. "Okay, Brothers, you didn't embarrass me! Don't worry, I will come to you soon." There were tears flying in the air amid the laughter. Who is a ruthless killer? Who kills without intention? It's just that the affection is buried deep in my heart. Killers are also human beings. How can humans be ruthless even if they are not grass and trees? Even immortals would not dare to be ruthless. Being ruthless means being sentimental. "Brothers, go on your way, don't be a killer in the next life." Xing Bei shouted. "Everyone get out of the way." Yan Sui Fa shouted. No matter how ruthless he is, facing such a group of ruthless people can't help but feel a little chilling. After several rounds of self-destruction, not only Execution Squad, but also Yan Sui Fa’s Squad suffered heavy losses. At this time, only XingGu Lingling was left in the field. He looked around and saw that the place was a mess of blood and flesh. Apart from the still intact corpses, it was impossible to tell who was who. It was only possible to tell which party the deceased belonged to from the clothes, but most of them were just pieces of flesh and blood. "We lost this time. If it weren't for the Mysterious Monk before, and if we weren't damaged before, you wouldn't have won." Xing said with a sad smile.
"This is what battle is. As members of the Dark Clan, you and I should have understood this long ago." Yan Sui Fa did not take the opportunity to launch an attack.
"This is going to get chaotic." Suddenly, Xing sighed inexplicably. Yan Sui Fa raised an eyebrow at his words.
Xing was not only a ruthless person but also a clever one. At this point, he had begun to understand certain things. From the moment they were dispatched for this mission, he had harbored doubts. After encountering Yan Sui Fa, his suspicions only grew stronger.
"We're all smart people here; don't tell me you haven't had a single doubt until now. That would just make my death feel pointless," Xing said, looking at Yan Sui Fa. "Have you ever heard of the Dark Realm Execution Squad taking on bounty missions?"
Yan Sui Fa remained silent after hearing this; it would be false to say he had no doubts. From the moment he received the mission to his arrival, it had been but a fleeting moment. However, his squad had been stationed nearby for nearly half a month without any mission being issued during that time.
"From the look on your face, it seems you and I are both being treated as pawns," Xing slowly wiped the blood and flesh from his body, which bore marks from both his teammates and enemies. "Consider it an act of kindness; listen to the last words of a dying man."
"That female cultivator must have a very special identity; otherwise, you wouldn't have said what you did earlier. Yet I was kept in the dark about her true identity when I received this mission," Xing said with a bitter smile. Even so, he had to carry out this mission. "If you weren't prearranged to be nearby, then you can only count on your luck."
Yan Sui Fa understood the meaning behind those words very well.
"Honestly, I really want to know who sent us here to die. This situation is obvious; one of us will inevitably die when we meet like this, and I don't want to discuss the reasons," Xing continued as if he were discussing family matters, while Yan Sui Fa played the role of a qualified listener.
Given the caution of the Dark Realm, it was impossible for them to accept a bounty that would harm themselves. No matter how high the reward was, they needed to weigh whether it was appropriate.
Yet someone had issued such a bounty, and the Dark Realm had chosen to accept it. If there were no ulterior motives involved, who would believe it? Both factions within the Dark Realm were powerful entities that did not wish to provoke each other; it would benefit neither side.
Even if there were dirty dealings, they could only sit down in secret to negotiate. But bringing such matters into the open was detrimental for either side.
Xing understood this, and after calming down, Yan Sui Fa also came to realize it. Xing knew that he was not alone in this Execution Squad; there were several others carrying out the same mission. After listening to Xing's words, Yan Sui Fa also thought about how there were other squads like his that were left idle and without purpose.
If it weren't for familiarity and a good relationship, one wouldn't even know. Moreover, Xing and Yan Sui Fa both discovered that such teams could belong to the same faction.
Seeing Yan Sui Fa's expression, Xing smiled. "It seems you've thought of it too. Are there other squads doing the same thing? And are these squads all part of your faction?"
Although they were on opposing sides, in this situation, Yan Sui Fa had nothing to hide and nodded in acknowledgment.
Wherever there are people, there is conflict. The Dark Realm is similarly divided into several factions. This is a common occurrence, beyond reproach.
"However, this time they have gone too far." Xing shook his head; what happened next was no longer his concern. All he could do now was chase after the fallen brothers.
This incident had also exceeded Yan Sui Fa's capabilities. It was a premeditated, purposeful, and organized action. Many people were involved, not just the high-ranking officials from both sides but also their illicit dealings with each other.
"This is an unsolvable situation; it’s a bloody path," Xing said as if discussing something trivial. "Many will die—your friends and your enemies alike."
The struggle for power and personal desires has always been accompanied by bloodshed.
Yan Sui Fa looked at his teammates around him and at the scattered corpses on the ground, remaining silent.
"I am a dead man, but you can survive," Xing said to Yan Sui Fa, enunciating each word carefully. "Although you’re not much, since you’ve listened to me ramble for so long, I’ll make a deal with you: follow the previous group. As long as they don’t die, this game can still be resolved."
The implication was clear. Zhao Yanwu was undoubtedly a key figure; as long as she lived, there was still room for redemption. If she died, it would truly become a deadlock.
"Additionally, I have another piece of news for you: there are their people within your squad." With that, Xing laughed heartily as he accepted his fate.
This was disgusting; despite everything said, Yan Sui Fa had killed many of his people. If it weren't for wanting Yan Sui Fa to protect Zhao Yanwu and to spite those who led him to his death, he would have chosen another way to die. Although he might not necessarily kill the opponent, those standing on the battlefield would definitely not exceed five fingers' worth.
Looking at the fallen Xing, Yan Sui Fa's eyes gleamed with a cold light.
"Who is it? Step forward on your own; don't make me take action. If you come out willingly, you can leave from wherever you came. After all, we were colleagues once. If I have to get my hands dirty, I won't mind staining them with the blood of my own people."
He knew that Xing would not deceive him in this matter, nor was there any need for deception. If there was malice, it was merely to disgust him.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into an eerie tension.
Everyone present could hear their conversation clearly. It was evident to all that Bai Zi had learned something he shouldn't have known. The people around began to grow wary.
"This is a bloody path, and he's not wrong." After a long silence, no one stepped forward. Yan Sui Fa spoke again. "Since it's a bloody path, someone must die. I've given you all a chance; don't blame me. In the next life, we can be brothers again."
After saying this, Yan Sui Fa moved, and so did two others from the War Department. However, their movement was one of pursuit and escape.
Moments later, under the gaze of his teammates, Yan Sui Fa returned holding two bloody heads.
"I said this is a bloody path; anyone willing to tread it with me, follow along." He dropped the two heads and turned to follow the direction where Zuo Dao and the others had disappeared.
Whether anyone followed or not, he would go because his beloved was there. Even though she was now married to another man, she remained the one he cherished most in his heart.
