Start a mysterious island

Hearing the sudden sound behind him, Lin Li decisively gave up attacking Wu Xiong. He turned around and punched fiercely.

boom.

Stab it...

Lin Li's extremely fierce fist hit the figure that suddenly appeared behind him, and the opponent also scratched the clothes on his chest.

Tap, step, step... The silhouette that sneaked up on Lin Li took a fierce punch from Lin Li and stepped back more than a dozen steps before standing still.

The sneak attacker covered the shoulder that was hit by Lin Li, and the expression on his face was distorted.

Because of Lin Li's punch, his left shoulder was crippled. Severe pain spread throughout his body from the injured area, and a large amount of sweat oozed from his forehead quickly.

They were hiding in the dark just now, waiting for an opportunity. Even if Wu Xiong and Zhang Di were in a dangerous situation, they could hold back and not take action.

It was not until the previous moment that the sneak attacker felt that his time had come, so he emerged from the darkness and launched a sneak attack on Lin Li, who felt that he had won a great victory and relaxed his vigilance.

I thought that launching a sneak attack under such circumstances would be a sure thing.

But what the sneak attacker didn't expect was that the target's reaction was so fast that it was jaw-dropping. In the end, the sneak attack had to be successful at the cost of injury.

After Lin Li knocked back the enemy who sneaked up on him with one punch, he looked at the opponent with a serious face.

The enemy who attacked him was an old man with gray hair and a hooked nose. He was thin and short, less than 1.65 meters tall.

The other person's fingers have long nails, and the color of the nails is a strange purple.

Vaguely, he could see a light golden aura emerging on the surface of his nails.

In the sneak attack just now, the gray-haired old man used his nails to scratch Lin Li's clothes and left several shallow wounds on his chest.

Looking away from the attacker, Lin Li lowered his head and looked at his chest.

There were several openings in the linen clothes he was wearing. Through the openings, he could see that his skin was scratched and traces of blood slowly seeped out.

hiss……

it hurts.

Lin Li took a breath of air. It had been a long time since he was last injured.

Logically speaking, he now has the ability to transform into an elemental body, so it would be extremely difficult to injure him.

The reason why he failed to transform into an elemental body in the first place and avoid the sneak attack was entirely because he relaxed his vigilance at that time.

The enemy's sneak attack was so sudden that Lin Li's first reaction was to punch the opponent back instead of using his abilities to deal with it.

You were careless. The injury this time was really undeserved. Lin Li looked at the scratches on his chest and reflected in his mind.

But then I thought about it, the enemy who attacked me was really tolerant.

It has been so long since the battle broke out, but it is really amazing that he can endure it until now before launching a sneak attack on himself.

Zi Zhao, is this how you, the Blood Killing Sect, do things? You have to wait until we are almost killed by him before you are willing to take action. Wu Xiong, whose nose and face were bruised and swollen by Lin Li, said to the old man who succeeded in the sneak attack.

The old man is an assassin of the Blood Killing Sect, codenamed Purple Claw. It is said that many years ago, when he first became an assassin of the Blood Killing Sect, the codename he gave himself was different from the current one.

The reason why he changed his code name later was because when he was performing a mission, the purple nails on his hands were impressive, so he changed it to his current code name.

Do you think I didn't want to take action earlier? If the information you gave me wasn't wrong, I wouldn't have withheld it until now before launching a sneak attack on him. Zi Zhao, the assassin of the Blood Killing Sect, heard Wu Xiong reproaching him, and immediately He retorted angrily.

A few days ago, Wu Xiong took the token given to him by the head of the Wu family and went to the head of the Blood Killing Sect and asked him to send someone to help him kill the masked murderer.

At that time, the information Wu Xiong gave about the masked murderer said that the other party was just a practitioner who was slightly stronger than the second-level peak practitioner of the same realm.

In order to repay the favor of the head of the Wu family, the head of the Blood Killing Sect thought for a while and sent a capable general who was second only to himself in cultivation to assist Wu Xiong.

Later, Zi Zhao received an order and came to meet Wu Xiong and Zhang Di.

He thought, including himself, three cultivators with third-level peak cultivation were dealing with cultivators at the same level.

No matter how strong the other party is compared to practitioners of the same realm, it is impossible to fight one against three. This mission can be said to be a sure thing.

As a result, things developed beyond Zi Zhao's expectation. The masked murderer he had to deal with this time was incredibly powerful. He was obviously in the same realm as himself, both were peak second-level practitioners. When the opponent was one against two, He even crushed his opponents.

Zi Zhao, who was hiding in the dark and watching the battle, carefully analyzed it based on his rich assassination experience and what he saw at the scene. Finally, he found that even if he went on the field and fought three against one, he would still be defeated. .

So, he made a bold decision, which was to use Wu Xiong and Zhang Di as bait, at the expense of their defeat, to make the masked murderers relax their vigilance, thereby giving him a chance to successfully attack.

The subsequent development of the situation was just as Zizhao said. The defeat of Wu Xiong and Zhang Di successfully made the masked murderer relax his vigilance, and he decisively showed up and launched a sneak attack.

Although the sneak attack was successful in the end, he also suffered a lot of injuries, but as long as he can succeed, even if he pays a higher price, it is still worth it.

Don't look at the fact that he only caused superficial injuries to the target. It doesn't look serious, but in fact...

... Wu Xiong, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, fell silent when he saw Zi Zhao replying to him.

Because he himself didn't expect that the masked murderer could be so powerful. If he thought about the success of the purple claw sneak attack, then he and Zhang Di were not injured in vain.

Lin Li looked at Wu Xiong, who had been pessimistic before, but now had an uncharacteristically relaxed expression on his face, and he was filled with doubts.

Then, he suddenly felt dizzy. This unusual situation made him frown and subconsciously shook his head, trying to regain his consciousness.

Wu Xiong came to Zi Zhao's side, and the two of them looked at the masked murderer who was shaking his head slightly, and both showed bright smiles.

Are you feeling dizzy? Zi Zhao said to Lin Li with a smile.

... Lin Li heard what the enemy who sneaked up on him said, and immediately knew that his dizzy situation was caused by the enemy.

Then, he began to mobilize the spiritual energy in his Dantian to circulate rapidly throughout his body, trying to make his dizziness dissipate.

He, he actually has such abundant spiritual energy!!! Wu Xiong was shocked and stunned when he saw the light golden aura blooming on Lin Li's body, exuding extremely powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

You must know that he and his companion Zhang Di had devoted all their strength to fight against the opponent, and their spiritual energy had been consumed by more than half, almost reaching the bottom. However, the enemy still had such abundant spiritual energy, which was simply unbelievable.

Zi Zhao from the Blood Killing Sect also had his eyes widened and his mouth wide open, looking at the enemy he had sneak-attacked in disbelief. It was hard for him to be able to emit such powerful spiritual energy fluctuations at this moment.

Originally, according to the plan, after the sneak attack was successful, he would take advantage of the opponent's physical abnormalities to immediately launch an attack and finally capture the opponent.

But now they didn't dare to take action, because both of them found that Lin Li was still very strong, and they were worried that if they rushed to attack Lin Li now, if the other party fought to the death, they might risk their own lives.

What are you going to do next? Wu Xiong asked Zi Zhao beside him.

Zi Zhao pondered for a moment and responded, He has been poisoned by my special poison and is doomed. We are not in a hurry to take action now. We only need to wait quietly for the effect of the drug to fully explode and he will fall down.

After hearing what Zi Zhao said, Wu Xiong's eyes fell on his purple nails.

The reason why Purple Claw's nails have such a strange color is because they have been soaked in the special poison he said all year round.

When Purple Claw fights an enemy, once the enemy's body is scratched by his nails, the special poison soaked in the nails will invade the enemy's body through the wound. Then, when the drug takes effect and the enemy is unconscious, he can only Let others slaughter you.

This masked murderer is unusually powerful. Are you sure your specially prepared poison will be effective on him?

Don't think he didn't fall down by then, but took advantage of our waiting time to neutralize the effect of the poison. In that case, we would suffer. Wu Xiong said with some worry. After the fight just now, he was very afraid of Lin Li.

As for Wu Xiong's worries, Zi Zhao reassured him with confidence.

Don't worry! Even if a strange beast in the early third stage is hit by my special poison, it will cause physical weakness and its strength will be greatly reduced.

And our human body's physique is far inferior to that of alien beasts. Once we are poisoned by my special poison, there is no possibility of counteracting the effect of the medicine.

When Wu Xiong saw Zi Zhao promising himself so firmly, Wu Xiong's worries immediately dissipated a lot. Then, he looked expectantly at the masked murderer who was constantly shaking and falling.

He was swaying, and the feeling of dizziness in his head was getting stronger and stronger. If Lin Li's mental power hadn't been unusually strong, he would have collapsed due to the effect of the poison as Zi Zhao said.

Hey, we failed. We must not make this mistake again in the future. Lin Li gritted his teeth and insisted. When resisting the effects of the poison, he looked at the two enemies in the distance with triumphant smiles, and he felt very depressed.

But a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.

Ever since he ate the magical little fruit that grew from the magical tree, in just a few months, he had gone from being an awakened person who could not break through to the early stage of the first stage to a peak second stage practitioner. It was inevitable that he would have some problems. With the wind.

Although the Purple Claw who attacked him this time was also a second-level peak practitioner, based on the strength of the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from his body, we could tell that his strength was actually not as good as Wu Xiong's.

It was such an enemy who was not as strong as Wu Xiong. With his patience, he finally seized the right opportunity and succeeded in a sneak attack. With the help of poison, Lin Li suffered a big loss.

call……

Under the constant erosion of the poison's effect, Lin Li's breath became disordered and he began to gasp for air. The loss he suffered this time was a wake-up call. He must not underestimate opponents who were weaker than him.

Look! My special poison will knock him out in no time. Zi Zhao saw Lin Li's body shaking more and more, looking like he might fall down at any time, and said to Wu Xiong beside him with a smile. .

Yes. Wu Xiong nodded. Seeing that the masked murderer he could not defeat had become so weak at this moment, the pain on his body suddenly eased a lot, and joy filled his heart.

Moreover, he began to think that after the masked murderer fell, he would take revenge on him, first cut off his hands and feet, and then kill him.

Snapped.

The dizzy Lin Li raised his right hand and snapped his fingers while stubbornly resisting the effects of the poison.

The orange fire ignited the moment he snapped his fingers, and then a small flame the size of a fingernail flew out and expanded rapidly in the air.

Peng.

The small flames that grew long in the wind were suspended in mid-air and turned into a giant fireball with a diameter of seven meters.

Fuck!!!

Wu Xiong and Zi Zhao, who were originally proud, saw the giant fireball suspended in mid-air, and the smiles on their faces quickly disappeared.

Although they were already well aware of how powerful the masked murderer was, they really didn't expect it.

After the opponent was poisoned by a special poison and his physical condition continued to deteriorate, he was still able to find his mind to use his abilities to create such a huge fireball with astonishing power.

Creating a fireball with a diameter of seven meters was not the limit of Lin Li's current level of cultivation.

If he hadn't been hit by Purple Claw's special poison, it would not be difficult to create a fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters under normal conditions, regardless of the consumption of spiritual energy.

Let's go...

Lin Li looked at the two enemies with frightened faces, a smile appeared on his lips, and with a thought in his heart, the fireball was shot out.

call out……

Seeing the huge fireball coming towards them, and clearly sensing the terrifying power contained in it, Wu Xiong and Zi Zhao were so frightened that they separated and ran away in panic.

Just wait for me, I will come again, next time, next time I will never give you such a chance. Lin Li looked at Wu Xiong and Zi Zhao who were running away in a hurry, and said in an indifferent tone.

At this moment, Wu Xiong and Zi Zhao, who were facing the threat of giant fireballs, heard what Lin Li said, but they still had the time to respond!

The fireball landed and exploded the moment it touched the ground.

Boom.

There was a loud noise, and a hot flame appeared on the dock and surged around, swallowing everything that could be burned.

Along with the earth-shattering explosion, billowing smoke rose into the sky and shot straight into the sky.

Across the blazing fire, the guards on guard felt the terrible explosion on the dock at close range, and they were all shocked.

Retreat, retreat quickly. For safety reasons, the guard captain leading the team immediately gave an order to his subordinates to retreat.

When the fire and smoke dissipated, a huge, burnt-black pit appeared on the messy pier.

call……

Wu Xiong held Zhang Di, who was unconscious due to serious injuries, with his right hand. Panting, he looked at the scorched black pit created by the fireball explosion created by the masked murderer, and felt a sense of fear in his heart.

This... he was poisoned by my special poison, and he can still perform such a terrifying attack!!! Zi Zhao, who was standing next to Wu Xiong, looked at the explosion scene in front of him in a daze, and said with lingering fear.

He's gone. Wu Xiong looked around and used his mental perception to detect, but found no trace of the masked murderer.

... Zi Zhao remained silent, remembering what the masked murderer had just said in his mind.

Now we're in trouble. Wu Xiong's head ached when he thought that masked murderers would come to his door in the future.

Zi Zhao, who came from the Blood Killing Sect, didn't have this kind of trouble.

After all, he was just here to help. After this encounter, he didn't want to get involved with the masked murderer in the future.

Let's go! The noise is so loud that it has attracted the attention of the guards. If it were any later, we might not be able to leave.

Yes. Wu Xiong nodded, carrying his seriously injured and unconscious companion on his shoulders, and prepared to leave the battle scene with Zi Zhao.

And just when they were about to leave, their bodies suddenly stiffened and they stood motionless.
