All of us are one

Chapter 108 Annihilation

When Deng Huizong chased after the men in black, he discovered that more than ten men in black had fallen onto the sea from the sailboat and were rapidly scattering to both sides.

"Wow, quite a few people have come."

Deng Huizong muttered to himself, carefully observing the group out of the corner of his eye. After confirming that the dozen or so men in black were not moving fast and were all martial artists at the third level of the Qi Condensation Realm, he stopped paying attention to them.

In his view, those martial artists at the third level of the Qi Condensation Realm couldn't cause any trouble, after all, there was a top-notch guard on the ship.

"They don't even care..."

Mr. Qin, aboard the sailboat, watched closely and saw that the three top experts were still busy with their own tasks and had not gone to intercept the newly emerging men in black. He immediately felt uneasy.

"Could it be that there's another top-tier expert on that ship?"

Mr. Qin's heart sank. He was now at his wit's end and could only hope that there were no top experts on board so that he could force the enemy to return to the ship to protect their target.

The sea was turbulent, with artificial waves creating sprays of water.

"kill!"

Li Kun was surrounded by faintly visible qi, and with the support of this qi, he finally caught up with a man in black and immediately engaged him in close combat.

In an instant, the qi surged, and huge waves appeared on the sea surface. Some water droplets turned into mist and drifted away under the collision of the qi.

"Damn it, this guy's aura is so weird!"

The man in black briefly clashed with Li Kun before sensing that a foreign energy had invaded his body, fighting against his own and causing minor wounds.

As an assassin of Blood Rain and a top-tier expert in the fourth realm of the Divine Martial Kingdom, he had never seen such a bizarre aura that could directly invade the enemy's body and cause damage.

After only a dozen or so moves, the man in black felt he couldn't hold on any longer. As the amount of alien energy invading his body increased, his injuries worsened, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that the man in black was becoming increasingly flustered and even tried to break free several times, Li Kun realized that the man was nearing his limit.

He followed Brother Jiang to the Four Kingdoms Alliance for over twenty years. Not only did his strength steadily break through to the top level, but under Brother Jiang's guidance, he also developed a path for a different kind of internal energy, which greatly enhanced his strength, which was accustomed to fighting with his bare hands.

"die!"

Li Kun's eyes were icy cold, and his attacks became increasingly fierce. He successfully seized the opening in the man in black's defense and struck the man's chest with a palm.

puff!

The man in black coughed up blood from the blow, and with his injuries too severe, he could not maintain his internal energy and fell into the sea with a "plop".

"Too weak physically."

Li Kun made a mental assessment, then stomped his foot, unleashing a burst of internal energy, and turned to chase after another man in black.

This scene terrified many people dressed in black.

That was a top-tier expert at the fourth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, yet he was knocked into the sea after only a brief exchange. Just who is this person?

"hateful!"

Seeing that one of his top experts had been defeated, Mr. Qin couldn't help but mutter curses under his breath.

Facing three top experts, our side only has one top expert and five first-class experts who can resist. Unexpectedly, one of our first-class experts was defeated so quickly, and the rest were not enough to hold off the enemy.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Mr. Qin glanced left and right and saw more than ten black-clad men at the third level of the Qi Condensation Realm, who were now keeping a sufficient distance from the battlefield and heading towards the distant ship.

……

On the ship.

Jiang Yanming was resting with his eyes closed in his room when there was a knock on the door.

"Young Alliance Leader, Senior Zhou," Leng Tong's voice came, "More than a dozen men in black are rapidly approaching from the sea, suspected to be second-rate experts at the third level of the Qi Condensation Realm."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanming looked at Uncle Zhou, who was sitting upright.

"Master Leng, you all continue to monitor the battle. I will protect A-Ming," Uncle Zhou said calmly, without making a move.

"Understood." Leng Tong replied respectfully, and then the sound of footsteps quickly faded away.

"Uncle Zhou, what should we do if those assassins sabotage the ship?" Jiang Yanming couldn't help but ask.

With Uncle Zhou protecting him, his personal safety was naturally guaranteed, but if the ship was damaged, finding a new one would not be an easy task.

"Don't worry," Uncle Zhou said calmly. "Although this sea area is still affected by the rules of the Divine Martial Kingdom, it is far away from Twin Islands, and many technologies of the Four Nations Alliance can still be used normally."

Jiang Yanming was surprised to hear this. Could it be that the crew members on the ship were all highly skilled cyborgs?

"They want to sabotage the ship, but they have to catch up with it first," Uncle Zhou said softly. "This ship has been specially modified, so its acceleration and speed are quite fast."

"This works?" Jiang Yanming was taken aback.

He had assumed that when Uncle Zhou said there was nothing to worry about, he meant that the crew members were all quite capable, but it turned out that the ship was very fast.

Jiang Yanming looked out the window and saw four figures faintly visible in the distance through the glass. He couldn't help but ask, "What about Uncle Li and the others?"

"They are top experts. This sea area is already on the edge of the suppression of the Divine Martial Kingdom's heaven and earth rules, which makes their qi not deplete so quickly," Uncle Zhou said softly.

"On the edge of being suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth..." Jiang Yanming frowned slightly, somewhat understanding why technological creations were useless in the Divine Martial Kingdom. It turned out that it was due to the difference in the rules of heaven and earth.

"After leaving Twin Islands, you should be able to sense the changes in your inner energy," Uncle Zhou said. "Once you break free from the suppression of the Divine Martial Kingdom's rules of heaven and earth, you will be able to experience the strength of a martial artist in the outside world."

Jiang Yanming turned to look out the window, feeling a sense of anticipation for that change to arrive.

"How could this happen?"

On the sailboat, as Mr. Qin saw the lights representing the ship getting farther and farther away, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He never expected that the other party would escape by boat.

"At the ship's speed, we certainly can't escape the pursuit of a third-stage Qi Condensation Realm martial artist, but we can buy a lot of time, which is exactly what we lack most!"

He was very anxious, knowing that the three top experts were so confident because they were planning to create a time gap.

Mr. Qin looked out at the sea. Under the moonlight, four figures could be seen, some faintly visible and some not. Two of them were fighting fiercely, while the other two were chasing after their own fourth-level Qi Condensation Realm warriors.

In that brief moment, he saw another top-tier expert from his side, at the fourth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, fall into the water, severely injured.

This makes it difficult for our side, with only one top-tier and three first-class experts, to withstand the enemy's three formidable top-tier experts on the main battlefield!

"The Dahe branch will become a mere shell of its former self," Mr. Qin sighed helplessly.

Knowing that there was no way to escape, he simply sat down cross-legged to calm his mind and prepared to send a message to report the battle situation to the headquarters.

After an incense stick has burned.

Inside the brightly lit palace of the Divine Martial Kingdom.

The man in red sat on the prayer mat with his eyes closed, awaiting good news from the Great River branch altar.

Suddenly, a woman in black strode in, solemnly presenting the letter with both hands: "Master, this is the final message from the Great River Branch."

The man in red opened his eyes, took the letter, and read the simple information recorded on it.

"Mission failed, three top-tier enemies, all branch altars wiped out."
