Qiu Hong brought a box to Ling Tian and opened it. Ling Tian saw a device resembling a Bluetooth earphone inside.
This device had many attachments that could securely fix it to the ear, making it difficult to dislodge even during combat.
"Ling Tian, wear this earphone. As long as you are on this island, you can contact me anytime via radio! I will be your eyes here, telling you where the enemies are!"
"Alright, let's do it!"
Qiu Hong opened a door, and Ling Tian ran upstairs through the stairs behind it. At this moment, Yan Yu pressed a button on the control panel, and the alarm sounds from various buildings on the ground changed.
The Yan Yu Pavilion members who were fighting the intruders heard this alarm and immediately abandoned their engagements. After a few feints, they found nearby shelters.
The intruders, however, were bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
The Yan Yu Pavilion members quickly retreated into nearby shelters, while the pursuers, following them, were either blocked by falling metal doors or injured by traps in the passages!
Yan Yu Pavilion had a thousand-year history, and the underground had long been hollowed out, filled with a dazzling array of mechanisms.
Ling Tian also followed a passage upwards. He didn't know where it led, but every few meters he walked, a door would fall behind him, blocking the path and preventing intruders from entering.
On the ground, in a pavilion, a slender woman was being pursued by a burly swordsman.
The woman was about eighteen or nineteen years old, petite, but her martial arts were not weak. She wielded a treasured sword, which danced up and down.
However, the man opposite her held a ghost-head saber weighing over ten catties. This heavy saber was swung with the ease of a plastic knife in his hands.
Even more terrifying was that the man wore a layer of soft armor underneath. Even when the sword struck him, it couldn't inflict fatal damage.
Furthermore, even when his non-vital parts like arms and legs were cut by the sword, he felt no pain. Instead, the flowing blood made him even more frenzied.
The woman fought and fled, arriving at this pavilion. Unfortunately, she accidentally touched the opponent's ghost-head saber with her own. The immense force of the ghost-head saber directly knocked her sword away, and the tiger's mouth on her hand was also cracked.
The swordsman smiled sinisterly and swung his long saber, preparing to finish the woman with one strike. The pavilion was not spacious, leaving the woman with little room to escape.
However, at this moment, the tea table on the pavilion floor suddenly flew up and smashed directly at the swordsman.
For a moment, the swordsman was also bewildered. He never expected that this heavy solid wood tea table would fly up vertically as if defying gravity.
With no choice, the swordsman could only strike horizontally with his saber, cleaving at the tea table.
"Crash!"
The solid wood tea table was chopped into splinters by the ghost-head saber. However, the immense force attached to the tea table made the swordsman's arm go numb, and he was forced back several steps.
It was then that he discovered that beneath the cushion on the tea table, there was a hidden door, and from it emerged a man – Ling Tian!
At this time, the Yan Yu Pavilion woman, who was being pursued, was also stunned. She thought she was doomed this time, but unexpectedly, a knight in shining armor appeared out of nowhere.
What surprised her even more was that the prince charming who descended in her time of crisis was actually a handsome young man. For a moment, her gaze towards Ling Tian was somewhat infatuated.
Ling Tian also felt the woman's fiery gaze and couldn't help but feel amused. At such a time, this girl was still daydreaming.
"Miss, quickly go to the shelter. I'll handle this person!"
The Yan Yu Pavilion woman finally came to her senses. Now was not the time to admire handsome men.
"Be careful, he has sharp saber techniques and immense strength. He seems to be impervious to blades and spears!" the woman reminded him with concern.
"Alright, you go quickly. I have a plan!" Ling Tian said, drawing the Ghost-Cutting Saber from his back.
In fact, Ling Tian did have a plan. As soon as he saw the man, he knew he was no ordinary person because this swordsman was infected with a Gu worm, specifically the Divine Power Gu developed by the Gu King.
Possession by this Gu worm would overdraft a person's life potential, making them immensely strong, tireless, and even feeling little discomfort from minor injuries.
Of course, this enhancement came at the cost of depleting one's life force. Trading life for such a chance to become stronger didn't seem very worthwhile.
The swordsman was also bewildered. Before their operation, they had analyzed the situation on the island and knew that everyone on the island was a woman. He wondered where this man had come from.
However, he didn't want to think too much about it. Regardless, their instructions before the operation were to kill everyone on the island without mercy!
With that thought, the swordsman raised his ghost-head saber and directly slashed at Ling Tian. This strike was powerful and full of force.
The man's saber techniques seemed to disregard defense entirely, employing a style that courted mutual destruction.
In fact, by attacking in such a manner, this man intended to force Ling Tian into a saber-to-saber confrontation, and then use his superhuman strength to crush Ling Tian.
Just as the ghost-head saber was about to strike Ling Tian, the Ling Tian in front of the swordsman suddenly vanished. The saber strike landed on an afterimage.
Due to the swordsman's excessive force, he lost his balance. At that moment, the sharp Ghost-Cutting Saber slid across the swordsman's neck, and a head flew into the air as the body collapsed onto the ground.
Ling Tian was satisfied. The man's saber techniques were good, and it was evident he had practiced them diligently. However, it was useless. In all martial arts, speed is paramount!
No matter how great your saber's force, no matter how sharp your blade, if your opponent is faster than you, you can be defeated!
Ling Tian did not wish to linger in combat, as there were many enemies on the island. He should use the fastest and most efficient method of killing.
At this moment, Ling Tian felt a gaze upon his back. He turned his head and saw that the Yan Yu Pavilion girl was still staring at him blankly.
"Hurry, go to the shelter!"
Ling Tian's reminder jolted the girl awake, and she quickly crawled into the tunnel beneath the cushion.
Ling Tian stepped forward, helped close the tunnel door, and then covered it with the cushion.
Just then, two more swordsmen spotted Ling Tian. Upon seeing the headless corpse near Ling Tian, they were instantly enraged, and brandishing their ghost-head sabers, they charged towards Ling Tian!
