"Hehe!" A silvery laugh rang out, and a strange wave spread out, causing Kuzan's eyes to become lifeless in an instant.
"Blood Siphon"
Blood Demon also made his move, his target also being Kuzan. Eileen, standing to the side, was completely bewildered, unable to see the situation clearly. Wasn't Blood Demon an ally? Why would he turn against one of their own?
Ghosts are one of us? If Blood Demon knew Eileen's thoughts, he would definitely laugh. He only came to lead the way under Yi Shuihan's coercion. His goal from beginning to end was just to get a spot to leave the valley.
The reason they were so well-behaved on the road was simply because they knew they wouldn't get away with it. Even if they didn't know that Yi Shuihan and his group had the heads of the Five Demons in their sights, they would never have given up so easily.
As one of the Five Demons, Blood Demon's strength is beyond doubt, and he seized the opportunity in this battle very well.
Aokiji was clearly dragged into an illusion by the succubus, leaving such a huge opening; it would be foolish not to seize it.
In fact, no one could have done better than Blood Demon, but their opponents were not only Kuzan.
The thought of "I've succeeded" had just crossed Blood Demon's mind when a voice appeared in front of him.
It was Yi Shuihan, and only he had the ability at that time.
Instant Flash: Distance is no problem at this god-level level. The moment Blood Demon made his move, Yi Shuihan activated his skill. Qingzhi cannot be harmed.
"I was going to let you go, but since you're courting death, then go ahead and die! Gatling Iron Finger Gun!" The five fingers seemed to transform into countless laser beams, constantly piercing through the Blood Demon. In the blink of an eye, the Blood Demon's body was covered with countless finger holes.
Before he could even scream, the Blood Demon was plunged into eternal darkness, his last thought being that he had not recovered.
As the Blood Demon died, Kuzan roared, "Glacier World!"
An endless burst of cold air caused indiscriminate damage. He was still not fully awake, yet he made such a move, clearly guided by the succubus. It was unknown what he was doing in the illusion.
Faced with the endless chill, Eileen was the first to feel it; she felt her blood freeze and everything before her eyes began to blur.
Was he going to die? Despair flashed in his eyes, and he could only close them and quietly wait for death, but death did not come.
How come I'm not dead yet? I opened my eyes and found a tall figure blocking my way.
It was him! The joy of escaping death left a lasting impression of Yi Shuihan in Eileen's heart. That reliable figure made her fearless of any danger, as long as he was there.
"Kuzan!" came a loud shout, but it was Yi Shuihan who roared it out using a special method.
Kuzan's body trembled, his eyes regained their light, he glanced around and instantly understood everything, giving Yi Shuihan a grateful look.
"Where is the succubus?"
Upon hearing Kuzan's words, Yi Shuihan realized that the succubus had disappeared without him noticing, and he couldn't even sense her presence anymore.
Did she escape during the chaos? You underestimated her!
"She must have run away. This woman is no ordinary person," Yi Shuihan remarked with a sigh.
Pointing to the Blood Demon's head, which had been deliberately preserved, Yi Shuihan said, "The heads of the Five Demons have been gathered. Next is the Thousand-Man Slaughter."
"Blood Demon? You killed him?"
"That's right, he tried to attack you during the chaos."
After learning the cause of Blood Demon's death, Kuzan looked at Yi Shuihan with incredibly complex emotions, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "Thank you."
"You must remember this favor; you'll have to repay it in the future," Yi Shuihan said earnestly.
Wait a minute! Shouldn't the usual response be "You're welcome"? Aokiji's brain short-circuited, and he nodded with a wry smile.
"So what do we do next? Should we separate?"
"Alright, I'll go find her."
Although the name wasn't explicitly mentioned, Yi Shuihan knew that Kuzan was referring to a succubus. He didn't think Kuzan would succeed, but he didn't say it aloud.
After resting for a while, Qingzhi left alone, leaving Yi Shuihan and Eileen behind.
"Should we go kill someone, or should we kill someone?" The question is whether to kill one Akainu or a thousand others.
Without Aokiji by his side, killing Akainu wouldn't be impossible, but Akainu is hiding quite well and no one knows where he is now, and Yi Shuihan can't find him for the time being.
"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time."
With Eileen by his side, they left the cave and strolled leisurely in a random direction.
He wasn't in a hurry. If all else failed, he could just unleash his full power and sink the entire island. He didn't believe he couldn't complete the mission. Of course, this was a last resort. It would be even better if he encountered Akainu before that, or if he could complete the thousand-man kill. Once he got the heads of the five demons, the remaining thousand-man kill would undoubtedly be much easier.
"If I had known I was going to achieve the thousand-kill, I should have made my move earlier. I let that guy Aokiji beat me to it. But what can I do? I didn't know back then."
That said, how did they know I was the one who killed him? Did they need a thousand heads, or did they have some special detection method?
Forget it, one head is enough. Why take so many? We can deal with it later if they don't acknowledge it.
Unbeknownst to Yi Shuihan and the others, shortly after they left the cave, the succubus reappeared there, along with a man.
"Sakazuki, how about it? Want to team up with me? You don't want to be eliminated, right?"
"Hmph, what a crooked and evil path! My justice cannot be stopped, the general will surely be mine."
"If you've made up your mind, you can come find me again. I think you should know how to find me."
Chapter 118, Shadow Assault
As the sun set, the sunlight gradually faded away, and the moon climbed high in the sky, casting a faint glow. The dim light, tinged with a hint of brightness, made the Valley of Life and Death appear exceptionally eerie.
The Valley of Life and Death is even more bustling at night than during the day, as nocturnal predators awaken and begin searching for their prey.
The occasional screams of terror made it impossible to sleep peacefully. It was more dangerous than day or night because you never knew when a crisis would strike when you let your guard down.
Of course, these are not major problems for Yi Shuihan. If anyone thinks that it is easier to carry out an attack at night, they are completely wrong.
For a powerful person like Yi Shuihan, there is no difference between day and night.
As a self-proclaimed good kid, Yi Shuihan would never go out and party at night, but would go to sleep on time, and this time was no exception.
Inside the tent were two single beds. The reason for the two beds instead of one was simple: Yi Shuihan was not a casual person, and when he did, he was anything but.
Why just a tent? It would be simpler and more convenient, and easier to respond to if something happens.
Of course, before Kuzan left, there were actually two tents, one for Kuzan and one for Yi Shuihan and Eileen. Kuzan didn't need protection, did he?
"It's time to sleep." Yi Shuihan was about to close her eyes to rest when she heard a loud roar, followed by rustling sounds.
He rolled over and stood up, then walked outside the tent with Eileen.
"Looks like we have guests." With a wave of his hand, he had already packed up the tent.
A green light suddenly appeared in their vision—the eyes of a wild beast. Then, like a chain reaction, pairs of emerald green lights turned on, as if they had been switched on.
"It's a Moonshadow Wolf!" Eileen exclaimed, her voice filled with fear.
Moonshadow Wolves are powerful creatures even in the Valley of Life and Death, each with the strength of a colonel. Most importantly, they are social animals, and when they go out, there are hundreds of them. Generally speaking, even lieutenant generals would avoid them.
Yi Shuihan narrowed his eyes, looking further into the distance, ignoring the Moon Shadow Wolf in front of him. He could sense that the Moon Shadow Wolf was just cannon fodder brought in by some guys.
"I'm being nice by not even looking for you, yet you still come to my door on your own initiative. What am I supposed to say? Who gave you this confidence?" The cold voice spread out, clearly audible for hundreds of meters around.
Eileen wasn't stupid; she gleaned something from Yi Shuihan's words. A hint of worry flashed in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down after considering the strength of the person in front of her.
This person is capable of instantly killing a Blood Demon, so what she considers a desperate situation is probably nothing.
"Awooo!" With a loud roar, the wolves began to move, their green eyes as eerie as will-o'-the-wisps.
The Moon Shadow Wolf was extremely fast and very clever. It first surrounded Yi Shuihan and the others in a circle, and then kept narrowing down the area.
"Be careful, Moonshadow wolves can hide in the shadows!" Eileen shouted.
Yi Shuihan was taken aback upon hearing this. Upon closer inspection, he was also somewhat surprised. He hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now, with a specific purpose in mind, he could see that something was wrong with the Moon Shadow Wolf. There was clearly only one wolf, but there were several shadows.
Sitting idly by and waiting for death was not Yi Shuihan's style. Yi Shuihan smiled slightly, and his domineering aura suddenly erupted.
bang, bang, bang...
Although the Moon Shadow Wolves were numerous and quite powerful, they could only kneel before this overwhelming aura. In the blink of an eye, a large number of Moon Shadow Wolves knelt down.
Even the most ferocious Moonshadow wolves have fear, and this fear quietly erupted when they faced Yi Shuihan.
"Wuwu," she tried to stand up, but it was just wishful thinking. She let out an indistinct whimper, as if she wanted to beg for mercy.
Eileen stared blankly at everything before her, completely bewildered. Suddenly, these Moonshadow Wolves, which she considered incredibly ferocious, knelt down, and it was clear that they hadn't done so willingly.
What was even more astonishing was that Yi Shuihan let out a cold snort, and the Moon Shadow Wolves seemed to be squeezed by immense pressure, their bones groaning before exploding.
Blood splattered across the earth, and explosions rang out one after another. In just a moment, not a single Moonshadow Wolf could be seen.
"You stay here, I'll be right back." Yi Shuihan vanished from Eileen's sight in a flash.
About 500 meters away from Yi Shuihan and his group, a group of about 30 people, fully armed, were hiding. It was they who led the Moon Shadow Wolves towards Yi Shuihan.
Their original plan was to wait until Yi Shuihan and Yueyinglang were both exhausted before they came out to steal kills, but things obviously developed beyond their expectations. Because they were far away, they didn't know exactly what happened, but they did see those Yueyinglang who self-destructed for no reason.
Before they could figure out what had happened, Yi Shuihan's figure had already disappeared from their sight.
"Oh no!" someone shouted, and everyone panicked.
"What's the panic? He's all alone. Does he think he can kill us all? Wait until he shows himself, and I'll smash his head in." The speaker was a bald, burly man with a face full of scars.
"What's wrong?" The bald, burly man asked, only to find everyone looking at him with strange expressions.
A man pointed tremblingly behind the big man. The big man turned around in confusion, but his simple action failed.
The big man's body turned around, but his head remained in the same direction. As he turned, a slap sent his head spinning 180 degrees.
"It's him! Brothers, kill him! Whoever kills him can leave the valley!" a man with sharp teeth and cheeks shouted wildly. The others instinctively rushed towards Yi Shuihan, and he himself was also rushing, but not towards Yi Shuihan. Although the direction was towards Yi Shuihan, the distance between them was getting farther and farther. He was actually running backwards.
Yi Shuihan, who witnessed this scene, could only secretly exclaim, "What a talent!"
But can they really escape?
Chapter 119, Coming to Pay Homage to the Master
"Hehe, sir, what business do you have with me? I just happened to be passing by and know nothing about this place!" Yzak felt his whole body trembling. He had thought it was a foolproof hunt, and that his final opponents would only be those foolish companions. With his hidden strength, getting a spot to leave the valley would be a piece of cake.
I never expected things to turn out so differently from what I imagined. Where did this freak come from? More than 30 people were instantly killed without even touching each other. Killing his own comrades was easier than stepping on ants.
Now Yzak realized that the deaths of those Moon Shadow Wolves were probably due to Conqueror's Haki. Only Conqueror's Haki could be so domineering. To have Conqueror's Haki was proof of being called a king!
Oh God, if I can escape this time, I will stay far away from him from now on.
"You really don't know anything? If you don't know, then I might as well kill you. Anyway, you're no use to me." Yi Shuihan looked at the guy in front of him with amusement. In fact, the only reason he kept him was because he found the guy's previous cleverness somewhat interesting.
To Yizak, Yi Shuihan's smile was like the smile of a demon, so chilling. He could tell that if he didn't say something, his fate would be no different from that of his companions—it would just be a matter of leaving sooner or later.
In this life-or-death moment, Ytzhak's mind raced faster than ever before, countless thoughts appearing and disappearing in his mind.
A moment later, upon seeing Yi Shuihan's somewhat impatient gaze, Yizak's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed loudly, "Ah! I remember now, I actually came here to pay my respects to you, sir. I've heard of your deeds long ago, and I know that you are naturally brave and unparalleled in the world, skilled in both literature and martial arts, possess great strategic vision, are incredibly powerful, handsome and dashing, charming and debonair, helpful and hate evil as if it were your enemy. You are the most perfect person in the world. I heard that you have also come here, and I longed to visit you, so I came to pay my respects."
After finishing his speech, Yizak cautiously observed Yi Shuihan's expression. When he saw that Yi Shuihan was expressionless, his heart skipped a beat. What could this be? Had he flattered the wrong person?
Yitzhak didn't dare to breathe, waiting for Yi Shuihan's verdict.
As time passed, Yitzhak was sweating profusely, and the hope in his eyes dwindled. Just when he was about to despair, he suddenly heard a soft laugh.
"So my reputation has grown this great?" He looked at Yzak with surprise. "Actually, I have many more strengths, but no one has discovered them yet. Alas, life is truly lonely as snow. When will all my strengths be discovered?"
Yizak stared in disbelief at Yi Shuihan. How could there be such a shameless person in the world? He had just made up the story to save his life, and the other party actually admitted it, saying that it was just one of his good points.
That's good! His life is at least temporarily saved. With a sigh of relief, Yizak began to rack his brains, thinking of ways to say something more complimentary to make Yi Shuihan even more satisfied.
“Well, you’ve paid your respects. Now let’s talk about other things.” Yi Shuihan spoke again, his expression turning cold once more, startling Yizak.
"Other things?" Yizak looked at Yi Shuihan blankly.
"I'm giving you a task. If you can complete it, your life will be spared for now. If not, hehe." A pressure emanated from Yi Shuihan, and Yizak was caught off guard and immediately knelt down.
Feeling this overwhelming power that he could not resist, all of Yizak's petty thoughts vanished, and he only thought about doing a good job of what Yi Shuihan had entrusted to him.
"Are you going to lure people to kill me tomorrow? Can you do that?"
"Huh!?" Yzak even felt like he was hallucinating. This request was so unexpected that he almost couldn't catch his breath.
"Is it even possible?"
"Yes, yes, I will definitely complete the mission." He patted Yue Xiong's chest to assure him. This was far too easy for Yizak. All he had to do was spread the news that Yi Shuihan was here. At this moment, he even had a strange feeling in his heart. If he could gather a group of powerful people, could he kill this monster?
"There's another requirement: the number of people needs to be large; you need to find me at least 1000 people."
"1000 people? No problem." Hmph, I'll agree to it first. How many I find is up to me. I'll find you 1 people, let's see what you do then.
With a wave of his hand, Yi Shuihan sent a beam of white light directly into Izak's body.
Yizak's expression changed drastically, thinking that Yi Shuihan was going to kill him, but after a moment there was no reaction, he looked at Yi Shuihan in confusion.
"It's just insurance. If you don't see him tomorrow, you don't need to live anymore," Yi Shuihan said casually.
Yitzhak looked miserable, cursing Yi Shuihan a hundred times in his heart. Although he had some doubts about Yi Shuihan's words, he dared not gamble.
