Yang Feilong's True and False Sword Arts became increasingly proficient. The true and the false were indistinguishable. Especially against opponents he hadn't fought before, they had little understanding of his martial skills. The three terrifying sword beams appeared formidable but were merely a facade. His true killing blow was hidden within an inconspicuous sword beam, aimed at the earth elemental ability user underground.
The earth elemental ability user had been harassing Yang Feilong, but Yang Feilong's counterattacks were weak. He had always believed Yang Feilong couldn't deal with him. However, when the attack reached him, he finally realized he had been tricked. It was too late to erect a proper defense before the sword beam pierced his body.
The terrifying sword beam exploded instantly, obliterating his life force!
Of the five ability users, one wood elemental user had already fallen, and now a second had perished. This was an earth elemental user known for defense and earth遁术.
"Go! This guy is too powerful!" The remaining three lost all will to fight after witnessing the earth elemental user's tragic death.
With the assistance of the earth elemental ability user, they had been able to stalemate Yang Feilong. Now, with another one gone, the remaining three knew that if they persisted, they would likely face death!
"Trying to escape? That depends on whether my sword agrees!" Without the harassment from the earth elemental ability user, Yang Feilong's combat power was fully unleashed. Even while carrying Li Yufei, his speed was incredibly swift, and he instantly caught up to the slowest of the escaping fire elemental ability users.
Whoosh!
A flash of sword light, and the fire elemental ability user's head flew off. He was as dead as could be!
"Split up and escape!" the metal elemental ability user roared.
There was no need for his reminder. The water elemental ability user also knew that if they didn't split up, they would all be hunted down. By separating, they still had a fifty percent chance of survival.
"Don't chase me!" the water elemental ability user prayed.
Whether his prayers were answered or not, Yang Feilong did not pursue him. But before he could rejoice, his expression changed the next moment because Yang Feilong had quickly caught up to his metal elemental ability user companion. Worse still, his companion hadn't even managed to buy him a second.
"It's over!"
Yes, he was finished!
Of the five elemental ability users, the last remaining water elemental ability user also met a tragic end!
"He's still carrying someone, and he's this fast. If he weren't carrying anyone, he'd be even faster! The organization's assessment of his strength was too low. Perhaps if Gai hadn't died, the five of us would have had a slight chance. And even then, it would only be a slight chance. Although his attack power hadn't reached the seventh tier, the five of us couldn't act as one. Once we were stalemated, he could kill one of us, and the five-element synergy would be broken. Once broken, it would no longer pose any threat to him, and he could defeat us one by one! Unless it was a surprise assassination by a top-tier sixth-tier ability user, or an attack by a seventh-tier ability user."
This was the last thought of the water elemental ability user before his death.
In a building over a thousand meters away.
Several figures stood there, led by someone shrouded in an aura of gloom. From their attire, it was vaguely discernible that the leader was a woman. They were all holding binoculars.
"Commander Rose, Nine, the Five Element Specters, are all dead!" a middle-aged man said gravely. "That Yang Feilong's strength is excessively powerful!"
"We should have attacked together! If we had attacked together, perhaps we could have killed him in one blow!" another man said through clenched teeth.
"If we had all attacked, and our presence was exposed, even if we succeeded, how would we send the storage rings back?"
"I think Nine, the Five Element Specters, were too careless. Gai was killed by Yang Feilong's first move. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy for Yang Feilong to counter-kill them!"
"Don't forget, Yang Feilong was also carrying a woman. Otherwise, even if Gai hadn't been killed, it would have been difficult for Nine, the Five Element Specters, to complete the mission!"
"Alright, stop blaming each other!" the leading woman said calmly. "Yang Feilong was able to kill James Bond and the others, so he is clearly not simple. It's fine that Nine, the Five Element Specters, are dead!"
"Commander Rose, what should we do next?" the middle-aged man with the strongest aura and the most composed demeanor asked.
The others also looked at the sole woman. Although she was a woman, her strength, scheming, and other qualities were superior to theirs. Furthermore, she was the leader of this mission, so they naturally obeyed her orders.
"You will all remain in place for now. I will devise a suitable plan, and then we will act," Black Rose mused slightly. "The next time we act, we must ensure a swift kill! Because if we waste another opportunity, it will be very difficult to succeed!"
"Yes!" everyone responded.
...
After clearing the battlefield, Yang Feilong's brow furrowed slightly. He looked towards a tall building in the distance, vaguely feeling a sense of being watched. This was his intuition, but unfortunately, the darkness obscured his vision. Even his soul perception couldn't reach over a thousand meters away.
"What's wrong?" Li Yufei asked with concern.
This was the first time she had spoken. Although she had been nervous and worried just now, she had remained calm because she didn't want Yang Feilong to be distracted by her.
In such a life-and-death battle, a moment's distraction could lead to disaster.
She certainly didn't want to see such a worst-case scenario!
"I have a feeling that things aren't over yet!" Yang Feilong said, shaking his head.
He hadn't wanted to say it to worry Li Yufei, but if he didn't, she might overthink things. Moreover, she was already involved, and it would be difficult for her to stay out of it!
"Having killed their five masters this time, they likely won't act again in the short term," Yang Feilong mused, then quickly shook his head again. "But it's hard to say. If they anticipate my anticipation, they might launch another attack soon."
"Of course, next time, they will definitely be extremely cautious. After all, even if they send experts, they can't do so indefinitely. Ten or so people is their limit. If they fail again, they will have no chance to turn the tables unless they send more experts. And with so many losses, even the Black River Group would likely not be able to bear it!"
At this moment, Yang Feilong's mind was racing with possibilities.
Seeing Li Yufei's worried expression, Yang Feilong composed himself and smiled, "Alright, don't worry. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Let's go back and rest!"
"Okay." Li Yufei nodded, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her mind. She had also realized that worrying excessively was useless.
She had initially been considering whether to give herself to Yang Feilong so soon, but after what had happened tonight, she felt a strange sense of urgency. Who knew which would come first, an accident or tomorrow? Giving herself to the one she loved sooner would prevent regret if an accident were to occur!
After these thoughts, Li Yufei's mood became lighter.
Yang Feilong was naturally unaware of Li Yufei's inner thoughts. Seeing her expression become relaxed, he also breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face.
