Chapter 450 Murdering Demon

"Chī————!"

The faint sound of breaking space suddenly echoed in the corridor's space. However, it was immediately drowned out by the chaotic footsteps and noisy clamor, and no one noticed anything.

"Quick! Search carefully—"

The Wanderers leading the large troop had barely finished speaking when their vision suddenly blurred, covered by a blurry figure.

"Qiāng————!"

The next moment, a chilly blade light flashed, cutting across the throat of the leading Wanderers.

"Pū Chī————!"

The sharp blade mercilessly pierced the skin, tearing through flesh, and cutting open the Wanderers' throat.

Flames gushed out from the Wanderers' throats like fresh blood.

"Ugh…!"

The Wanderers widened their eyes, an expression of disbelief on their face, slowly falling to the ground.

"What…?!"

"Master!"

"Is the Master dead?!"

Helplessly witnessing their Crimson World Denizen leader suddenly fall, gradually incinerated under a blaze, a group of Rinne was thrown into complete chaos.

At that moment, a ghostly black shadow swept through the Rinne one by one like a gust of wind.

"Pū Chī—— Pū Chī—— Pū Chī——!"

Chilly blade light frequently appeared, slaughtering the panicked Rinne on the spot, leaving the ground covered in sparks.

"He's... here!"

"That human is here!"

"Help!"

A group of Rinne, having lost their Master, finally understood what had happened. One by one, they cried out, only to immediately meet a flash of chilly blade light.

"Ugh…!"

"Uhm…!"

"Ah…!"

The sounds of screams persisted.

Until not long after, everything suddenly fell silent.

Fang Li's figure slowly emerged from the space, feet on the ground. He looked at the dismembered remains spread all over, gradually burning to ashes. His ice-blue Mystic Eyes turned in another direction, covering his bleeding chest. Without hesitation, he darted forward.

Shortly after Fang Li left, a surging wave of flames violently approached, carrying Sabrac to the scene.

Unfortunately, Sabrac could only see the dismembered remains spread across the entire ground. He spoke in a low voice.

"Am I too late?"

After saying that, Sabrac continued to ride the wave of flames, rushing toward another direction.

As for Fang Li, he had already reached another corridor, encountering another group.

Watching the team rapidly approaching, Fang Li's ice-blue Mystic Eyes flashed suddenly. His entire figure shot out at astonishing speed, meeting them head-on.

With this, the massacre began.

...

In the underground space of Seireiden, numerous important facilities were situated.

The command room of Seireiden is also located in this place.

It is situated at the center of the lower part of Seireiden's rocky section, resembling a spherical space with a floor that descends in a stepped pattern.

This room, except for the core members of the "Bal Masqué," is off-limits to all other members and serves as the command center for Seireiden's defense forces.

In the center of this command room lies a hearth-like Treasure Tool.

This Treasure Tool can manifest the entire movement of the mobile fortress in the form of holographic images, similar to the Crystal Altar. However, its scope is limited to the confines of Seireiden.

Previously, Fecor relied on it to discover Fang Li's destruction of the temple and escape.

Now, Fecor returned to this place and received a sudden report.

"What?" Fecor looked astonished at a nearby mirror.

This mirror, also a Treasure Tool, could connect with mirrors of the same type placed elsewhere, acting as a large communication device.

At this moment, the mirror displayed the face of one of Fecor's subordinates.

The subordinate was reporting something to Fecor, and the content left Fecor in disbelief.

"You're saying that most of the teams in Seireiden have been annihilated?"

"Yes!" The subordinate, with a tense expression, replied, "The annihilated teams include the Fourth and Sixth squads of the Third Division, as well as the Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, and Eighth squads of the Fourth Division. In total, eighteen squads from three divisions have been wiped out, and all communication has been lost!"

"How could this happen?" Fecor couldn't help but exclaim.

The casualty situation was beyond Fecor's expectations.

As for who the culprit was, there was no need to explain.

"What about the Jaegers?" Fecor urgently asked, "Didn't a single Jaeger find the whereabouts of that human?"

"No... it's impossible." The subordinate said with great fear, "Although we haven't completely missed the detection, whenever the Jaegers sense the human's trace and rush over, the battle there has already ended, leaving only a ground of dismembered remains. We simply cannot keep up with the speed of the enemy's annihilation."

Fecor's expression immediately turned ugly as he turned to the hearth-shaped Treasure Tool.

On it, a holographic image of Seireiden was simulated.

Fecor could see teams moving back and forth in the transparent Seireiden, searching vigorously.

However, there was no trace of Fang Li.

"Even the Treasure Tool can't find the human?" 

That was only natural.

Fang Li's Assassin Techniques could, after entering stealth mode, completely eliminate his own aura and to some extent, eliminate any movement or confusion in perception.

Therefore, as long as Fang Li intentionally concealed his tracks, it was impossible to find him unless there was a Skill or Ability more advanced than Fang Li's Assassin.

Precisely because of this, Seireiden's Jaegers could only detect Fang Li's presence when he appeared and initiated a slaughter, prompting them to rush over.

However, by the time they arrived, Fang Li had already completed the massacre, left the scene, and continued to remain in stealth.

Even a Treasure Tool was the same.

After all, Fang Li's Assassin had undergone a level-up, reaching Level 2, making him not so easily detectable.

"What should we do?" 

Fecor was getting really anxious.

If Fang Li were to escape directly, the external dragnet would catch him, and thousands of soldiers would surround him, leaving him with no escape.

However, if Fang Li continued to hide within Seireiden, utilizing the terrain for stealth and ambush, it would be challenging to capture him.

"Could it be that..." Fecor couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.

"Is that human aware of this point, which is why he's hiding within Seireiden for ambushes instead of escaping directly?"

With this thought, Fecor's face turned pale.
