Ye Cangtian’s gaze fell upon the cardinal again, and he said playfully, “I believe you’ve seen the outcome. How do you choose now?”
“This…”
The cardinal’s face suddenly changed. He naturally understood Ye Cangtian’s meaning.
The other party was essentially asking him if he would take his own life, or if the other party would help him.
But like everyone else, he didn’t want to die.
The next moment, he drew a dagger and assumed a defensive posture.
Whether it was useful or not, if he didn’t want to die, he had to fight for it.
“Alas! Why must you do this?”
Ye Cangtian shook his head helplessly and walked towards the other party.
His speed was not fast, just his usual walking pace, and he held no weapon. Yet, this alone put immense pressure on the opponent.
“Kill!”
Finally, the opponent could not bear the pressure, roared, and thrust the dagger in his hand like lightning.
It seemed like a stunning blow, but the next moment everything came to an abrupt end.
Ye Cangtian, using only two fingers, caught the dagger. No matter how hard the opponent tried, it didn’t budge an inch.
“Some things, once done, must be paid for!”
A faint voice came, and Ye Cangtian’s fingers vibrated slightly. The surging spiritual energy directly sent the opponent’s outstretched hand flying.
Immediately, before the opponent could react, his hand threw the dagger away.
*Pfft!*
The dagger instantly pierced the cardinal’s chest. The powerful force propelled the opponent’s body backward.
Having done all this.
Ye Cangtian ignored the opponent. The previous blow had already pierced his heart.
It could be said that if the opponent hadn't cultivated the Holy Light Praise like Qiao, there would have been no chance of survival.
After all, even Nancy, hailed as the pride of the Temple of Light, had no opportunity to cultivate the Holy Light Praise. How could a newly appointed cardinal like him possibly cultivate it?
“Are you alright?”
Ye Cangtian examined Qiangwei from head to toe. Seeing that Qiangwei had some wounds, he asked.
“I’m fine.”
Qiangwei shook her head, then turned to the sea and frowned, “Just letting them go like this is too easy on them!”
“They can’t escape!”
Ye Cangtian smiled when he heard this.
“…”
Qiangwei was instantly stunned by his words.
The assassins had already swum hundreds of meters away and were extremely scattered.
Let alone Ye Cangtian alone, even if all the Death Squad members were deployed, they might not be able to keep all these assassins.
Sensing Qiangwei’s curious gaze, Ye Cangtian chuckled playfully and then said, “Stir the Qiankun Pouch in the sea…”
“…”
Qiangwei was stunned again. She had witnessed the magic of the Qiankun Pouch. It could be said that its offensive power was very strong.
But this didn’t mean it could keep those assassins.
Although she found it hard to believe, out of absolute trust, Qiangwei did as Ye Cangtian said.
The moment the Qiankun Pouch came into contact with the seawater, it emitted a faint halo, but that was all.
The sea in front of them, as usual, washed against the shore, with no peculiar signs.
“Are you playing with me? Is this fun?”
After a while, Qiangwei turned her gaze to Ye Cangtian, speechless.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, offering no explanation. He simply raised his hand and pointed towards the distant sea.
In that area of the sea, there were at least a dozen assassins still swimming desperately.
As soon as Qiangwei turned her gaze towards this sea area, she suddenly heard faint and fearful screams, and then the entire sea area erupted.
The assassins in the water desperately tried to escape.
*Bang! Bang! Bang…*
The next moment, one assassin after another, as if attacked by something, was violently thrown several meters high, and then heavily fell back into the sea.
Only then did Qiangwei realize that they were killer whales and great white sharks, all adults.
Logically speaking, they were natural enemies in the ocean, but before her, they were incredibly harmonious.
The adult killer whales used their strong bodies to torment the assassins, leaving them with no power to fight back, while the great white sharks bit wildly. The cooperation between the two was remarkably tacit.
This scene was not just in the sea area before them; wherever there were people in the sea, such ferocious events occurred.
“This…”
Seeing this, Qiangwei finally lost her composure.
She stared blankly at the Qiankun Pouch on her wrist, then looked at Ye Cangtian in surprise, as if expecting a reasonable explanation from him.
Wu Ying Jian, who had remained silent all along, was also completely astonished.
“Some things are better left unknown for now. When we enter the ruins later, I will tell you if there’s an opportunity.”
Sensing Qiangwei’s gaze, Ye Cangtian hesitated for a moment and then slowly said.
Upon hearing this, Wu Ying Jian nodded. Qiangwei didn’t say much more, but a gleam flashed in her eyes, as if she had made a decision.
Before long, the sea surface returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.
Qiangwei slowly stood up, returned the Qiankun Pouch to Ye Cangtian, and then returned to the base with Ye Cangtian and Wu Ying Jian.
…
Inside the base.
She-wolf and others were guarding the monitoring room, watching the scenes on the monitoring wall.
As many of the cameras on the island had been destroyed, the scenes they could see were very limited.
Everyone was getting antsy, wishing they could go out and see what was happening.
“She-wolf, Scorpion, you two buffoons!”
“You made a replica of the Sky Eye system, and it’s so flimsy, I can’t see a thing!”
Due to prolonged impatience, Tai Shan began to complain to the two.
It was all because the two had bragged that they could monitor any corner through the cameras. Now that they couldn’t see the footage, he naturally had to settle the score with them.
“This can’t be blamed on me. I just installed the cameras in the designated locations as per She-wolf’s request. The rest has nothing to do with me…”
Scorpion directly shifted the blame for Tai Shan’s responsibility.
He stated that he was just a mechanic, following orders.
“Scorpion, you’re too disloyal!”
Upon hearing this, She-wolf glared at Scorpion. But sensing the angry gazes of his brothers, he immediately chickened out.
Then he whispered, “It seems relying solely on cameras won’t work. We need to find a way to hack into a satellite in the future, so the opponent can’t destroy them…”
“…”
Everyone was stunned by She-wolf’s crazy idea.
Only She-wolf dared to think like this…
*Squeak!*
Just then, the door to the monitoring room opened.
Seeing Ye Cangtian, Qiangwei, and Wu Ying Jian returning safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment, She-wolf glared at Qiangwei, “Oh, damn! Big sister, you’re too fierce! You almost got beaten like a dog, but you chased out alone. Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
The others, hearing this, chimed in.
Everyone had watched the video of Qiangwei fighting two cardinals at the base entrance, and they were truly scared by Qiangwei’s performance.
“Humph!”
Sensing her partners’ gazes, Qiangwei snorted.
Normally, she would have retorted, but now that Ye Cangtian was present, she chose to remain silent.
Because she knew that Ye Cangtian would not approve of her risky actions.
“Alright.”
On the other side, Ye Cangtian interrupted them. After all, Qiangwei was the leader of the Death Squad, and he had to save some face for her.
Saying this, his expression turned serious. “Brothers, you know about the situation in Huaxia. I can’t stay here long, so let’s set off now.”
“Boss!”
“Boss…”
With these words, everyone’s expression changed drastically, showing a deep reluctance, but they couldn’t stop him, as their sister-in-law was in danger.
“Alright, as long as you are all well, aren’t you afraid there won’t be a time to reunite?”
Looking at their reluctant gazes, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and then said, “Scorpion, let’s go. Time is tight, you need to send me off.”
“Okay!”
Scorpion responded and then led the way out of the room.
On the other side, everyone reluctantly said goodbye to Ye Cangtian.
After a brief farewell, Ye Cangtian took a helicopter and hurried towards the direction of Huaxia.
