Wen and Cui were a beat too slow.
That single shot decided life and death.
The fireball struck with a deafening roar, but there was no explosion; only intense burning.
The two assassins didn't even have time to scream before they were reduced to wisps of blue smoke in the crimson flames.
Dao Long's cruel smile froze instantly.
He turned his head suddenly and his pupils suddenly contracted.
There was another person on the beach.
The man held a gleaming gold necklace in his hand, his expression hostile.
Where did it come from?
Countless questions flashed through Daolong's mind, but the current situation did not allow him to think about them too much.
"Gan! Destroy him!"
The last remaining assassin, Gan, received the order and did not hesitate for a moment.
His figure blurred, and he wielded his three-section staff, creating a dense and impenetrable array of staff shadows that whistled through the air as it smashed down on Lin Ci.
Lin Ci didn't even look at the weapon hurtling towards him.
He simply raised his hand.
Precisely, it passed through the dazzling array of sticks and grabbed one of the three sections of the staff.
Gan tried his best, but found that the weapon in his hand did not move at all, as if it were being pressed down by a mountain.
The next second, Lin Ci's wrist twitched.
A tremendous force surged through the staff, and Gan felt a sharp pain in his hand, unable to grip the weapon any longer.
The nunchaku flew out of his hand.
Lin Ci casually tossed the three-section staff onto the beach and lunged forward.
There were no fancy moves, just a simple and direct straight punch.
In Gan's pupils, the fist grew larger and larger.
He tried to dodge, but his body couldn't keep up with the other person's speed at all.
A punch hit him right in the chest.
Gan's massive body flew backward and crashed heavily onto the beach, stirring up a cloud of sand before falling completely still.
Then it turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared.
"Damn it, Gan! You're a complete piece of trash!"
Daolong let out a furious curse.
He walked slowly forward, his cloudy eyes fixed on Lin Ci, his voice hoarse and cold.
"I don't care who you are, you will pay the price for your actions today."
Daolong stopped talking and raised his magic wand high.
He began chanting evil incantations.
A sinister green light shone from the tip of the wand, and a solid energy ray shot out, aiming straight for Lin Ci's chest.
"The character '巽' signifies the merits of sandalwood."
Lin Ci's calm voice rang out.
In an instant, rows of thick sandalwood trees rose up from the sand in front of him.
Then a solid wooden wall was formed, and a solemn and dignified fragrance filled the air.
The laser beam slammed into the sandalwood barrier.
With a piercing sizzling sound, the laser actually burned through the tough sandalwood layer by layer.
But its energy was also drastically reduced.
When it penetrated the last layer of wooden wall, only a faint beam of light remained, which struck Lin Ci but failed to cause any harm.
Daolong's eyes changed completely.
No chanting required, instant casting.
Moreover, it is such a complex creation-type magic.
The young man in front of me is definitely a top-notch mage.
"I wonder why you, sir mage, are opposing me?"
Daolong's tone softened, tinged with a hint of probing.
When Lin Ci heard this, it was as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"I'm going against you?"
"Is not it?"
"You want to hurt my friends, and you think I'm going to oppose you?"
The smile on Lin Ci's face vanished, replaced by an icy coldness.
"Isn't it you who's going against me?"
Daolong remained silent for a moment.
"In that case, I can apologize for my recklessness."
He spoke again, this time with an even lower posture.
"I just want to take those talismans."
"You're dreaming."
Lin Ci's response was simple and direct.
"Those talismans are mine."
Daolong's eyes turned sinister again.
"Then there's nothing to talk about."
He suddenly raised his wand into the air.
The once clear night sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and lightning crackled wildly.
Daolong recited a short incantation.
A bolt of pale white lightning, as thick as a bucket, carrying the might of heaven, crashed down from the clouds, aiming directly at Lin Ci's head.
Lin Ci looked up at the lightning that was tearing through the night sky.
“The character '艮' signifies a dragon swimming on the earth.”
The next moment, his body seemed to merge into the sand beneath his feet, and he sank down and disappeared.
The lightning struck empty air, leaving a deep, charred crater on the beach.
Daolong cautiously looked around.
"Your Excellency, is all you can do is run away like a rat?"
He tried to provoke the other person with words, but there was no response on the beach.
Dao Long's gaze fell on A Fen, who was unconscious not far away.
A cruel smile spread across his lips.
"Since you're not coming out, your friend is going to be in trouble."
Chapter 18 Following me will be the best decision you ever make.
The words just fell.
The sand beneath Daolong's feet suddenly exploded, and a figure burst forth from the ground.
"The character '离' (li) resembles the fleeting light of fireflies."
Lin Ci flicked his finger lightly in the air.
In an instant, thousands upon thousands of fist-sized sparks appeared out of thin air.
Like dazzling fireworks, or a dense meteor shower, they rained down on the Blade Dragon.
Every Mars contains astonishing heat.
Dao Long's expression changed.
Left with no other choice, he raised his wand and conjured a magical shield in front of him to block the deadly rain of fire.
Eye of Aurora.
"Fish canning plant".
A thought flashed through my mind.
The next second, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Also missing were Afu, Afen, Lasu, and Zhou, who were found unconscious on the beach.
And, on the distant cliff, there was Valon, who was worried about Lin Ci and his men.
Sparks clattered against the magic shield, making a crisp sound.
When the light faded, Daolong put down his wand and saw only an empty beach.
His enemies, along with his targets, all vanished without a trace.
Fish canning plant.
The familiar fishy smell filled my nostrils.
Rasu looked around at the familiar surroundings, his face showing signs of relief.
