Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Time flies like an arrow; eight years have passed in a flash...

Under the cover of night, a small team of over thirty extraordinary warriors moved swiftly and silently through the dim forest.

Li Shuying was the fastest, her neat ponytail swaying behind her head. She wore a light and dashing black military uniform, with the Ye family crest engraved on the armor on her chest.

She suddenly stopped and hid behind a giant tree, perfectly concealing her figure among the trunk and leaves.

She peered through the gaps in the leaves, her pupils flashing with technological light, as strings of data appeared in her irises.

[Full-body scan analysis in progress...]

[Level]: Myriad Manifestations Realm, First Stage

The AI ​​system is currently analyzing the target's weaknesses...

[AI Assistant Xiao Kun's Tip: After a full-body scan, some blockage was found in the target's soul power node on the right side of the back of the neck. According to system calculations, the target's reaction speed to an attack from the right rear is 31% lower than that from other directions...]

[AI Assistant Xiao Kun's Tip: The system scan detected that the target is wearing a +7 Green Vine Breastplate (purple quality). According to AI calculations, your +12 Tiger Soul Sword (pink quality) can directly break through its defense with a normal frontal attack, dealing 38154 damage. Attacking from behind will deal 41541 damage, and attacking the neck will deal 97541 damage...]

Li Shuying narrowed her eyes: "He's actually a transcendent warrior at the Myriad Manifestations Realm..."

She then glanced at the enemies in other directions.

They are mostly around the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

A squad of over thirty people, composed of experts at the Myriad Manifestations Realm, is definitely not an ordinary unit.

They would be considered elite anywhere!

[Li Shuying: Target detected. There are 23 sentries in total. The strongest is at the second level of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, and the weakest is at the seventh level of the Thousand Souls Realm. There are 15 martial artists, 3 mages, 2 beast tamers, and 3 support characters. Location locked at 23, 87, 17... All punctuation and AI weakness analysis have been shared.]

[Duan Ye: Sentries have been spotted, a total of seventeen. The strongest is at the fourth level of the Myriad Manifestations Rank, and the weakest is at the ninth level of the Thousand Souls Rank. All seventeen are archers, including ten short-range gunners, three archers, three gunners, and one sniper. Their positions are locked at 17, 45, 11... All punctuation and AI weakness analysis have been shared.]

[Li Shuying: So many experts at the Myriad Manifestations Realm, their origins are definitely not simple. Ordinary forces could never organize such an elite force... When the fighting starts, first take out all the archers hiding in the shadows. Arthur and Duan Ye, you deal with that fourth-tier Myriad Manifestations Realm expert and the small squad of gunners. You focus your fire on that first-tier Myriad Manifestations Realm sniper. Be careful of his high agility attribute. Also, don't forget to leave one alive...]

[Arthur: Received.]

[Wang Meng: Received.]

Lei He: Received...

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the magic gun was fired.

A dozen or so birds frantically flapped their wings and flew into the sky, emitting sharp cries, and many feathers slowly drifted down.

The battle in the forest began.

"Um?!"

Zhang San's eyes widened: "Attention! Enemy attack..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Shuying's sword slashed diagonally from his right rear!

Zhang San's heart skipped a beat. He thought, "No way, is my luck really that bad? The enemy attacked right from my weak point..."

"Shh-"

A shallow, long, bright red wound appeared starkly on his neck!

"Uh......"

Zhang San knelt down, covering the wound on his neck, but blood continued to gush out from between his fingers.

He had already tried his best to react, and had moved his body slightly to try and avoid vital areas...

But the Tiger Soul Sword still easily sliced ​​through the carotid artery in his neck.

With his agility and reaction attributes as a martial artist at the Myriad Manifestations Realm, he should have been able to dodge this attack.

But the attackers precisely targeted his weakness...

"You are......"

Zhang San's vision blurred, and in his dying moments, he saw his other teammates fall one after another into pools of blood amidst screams, gunfire, artillery fire, and magical attacks...

How can it be! ?

From the moment they faced the surprise attack to the moment they all fell, less than thirty seconds had passed...

Their unit was absolutely elite, even within the entire Qin Empire!

All the team members are extraordinary warriors at the Myriad Manifestations Realm!

How could they be so easily defeated?!

"thump......"

Zhang San finally collapsed, closed his eyes, and the blood beneath him spread out into a pool...

Li Shuying sheathed the Tiger Soul Sword and looked back at Arthur and the others behind her.

"How is it? Is everything resolved?"

"No problem, it's all taken care of." Duan Ye chuckled. "And we even caught one alive!"

He and Arthur brought along the highest-ranking superhuman warrior, a middle-aged man with a small mustache.

Li Shuying nodded, walked up to the man with the mustache, and asked with a stern face, "Who are you? Why are you infiltrating our Ye family's resource point?"

The man with the mustache grinned coldly, his body emanating a faint red glow.

“!” Li Shuying’s expression changed.

She realized that this guy wanted to activate the poison hidden in the soul power node within her body to commit suicide!

Many units in the Empire that carry out secret missions have a rule that if they are caught hiding poison in their bodies, they must commit suicide!

However, at this time...

A pair of scarlet eyes, as clear as agate, suddenly appeared in the mustache's field of vision!

The man with the mustache froze, his eyes seeming to glaze over in an instant.

Suddenly, he was completely unable to move!
