The sudden turn of events made everyone wary and back away, and Liu Changqing, who seemed a little confused, also subconsciously distanced himself.

Li Dapao's throat instantly changed shape, and as he flew backward, his breath also weakened.

Click!

With a crisp cracking sound of bones breaking, Li Dapao's chest caved in, much to the awe of Qiu Ji and the other powerful figures from the Mountain and Sea Realms.

Pop!

A bubble appeared in the air, enveloping Li Dapao, who was already judged to be on the verge of death, and then disappeared.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

"who!"

None of the people from the mountains and seas were fools; they naturally knew that it wasn't Liu Changqing who had made the move, and they all looked around warily.

Silence fell, and no one answered Qiu Ji's question, as if what had just happened was merely an illusion.

Until...

boom!

A sudden explosion rang out in the air, and a martial artist from the Mountain and Sea Realm instinctively turned around and threw a punch backward.

But his punch was too slow.

All the people saw was a dark shadow flash by behind him, followed by a scream as his entire arm was broken.

The next moment, with a flash of cold light, a bloody hole appeared on his temple.

Pop!

The bubbles enveloped his figure, then burst like a phantom.

Another mountain and sea creature entered a near-death state and was taken away.

Within a mere ten breaths, two people had fallen in succession, causing all the martial artists of the Mountain and Sea Realm to stir.

They moved swiftly and made the right choice, forming a circle with their backs to each other, while simultaneously raising their vigilance to the highest level.

"Could he be a king or nobleman? Why can't I sense his presence with my spiritual power...?"

Under the invisible pressure, some people couldn't help but shout.

"What nonsense about kings and nobles! Kings and nobles can kill us like chickens... He has a magical artifact that can conceal his identity, and it's of extremely high level!"

The aloof woman sneered, having seen through the mysterious man's methods.

"good."

Qiu Ji nodded slightly, having calmed down by now.

"Even if he is strong, his strength is limited. Otherwise, why would he need to resort to such underhanded methods? Gong Ping clearly sensed his presence just now, but Gong Ping was already injured and his strength was only about 70% of what it used to be, which is why he was no match for this mysterious person."

"If we stand together, he will surely be helpless!"

All the mountains and seas nodded, clearly agreeing with Qiu Ji's judgment.

Just as Qiu Ji had said, after everyone gathered together, the mysterious man disappeared.

"Ha, petty scoundrels, nothing more than..."

A middle-aged, powerful expert from the Mountain and Sea Realm sneered, about to utter a sarcastic remark, but fell silent halfway through his sentence.

The other girl standing next to him, Shan Hai, noticed that the area had suddenly become quiet except for a strange "tick-tock" sound. She turned her head in confusion and then screamed.

Everyone turned their heads, then were horrified.

The man who had just spoken had a stiff face, lifeless eyes, and his mouth was slightly open and closed, as if he wanted to say something more.

But he could no longer speak.

A thin line of blood suddenly split open at his throat, and the blood quickly spread, soon encircling most of his neck.

Bang!

His head finally fell off, hanging halfway over his shoulder, and countless drops of blood gushed out from the clean, sharp wound.

Pop!

The bubble enveloped the dying middle-aged man, Shan Hai, and carried him away from this space.

Although the person had disappeared, the scene was deeply imprinted in everyone's minds.

If it were just about bloodshed, none of the people present hadn't experienced countless life-and-death situations, so naturally they wouldn't be frightened by such a scene.

But... this is really too strange.

They have raised all their guard and are completely focused.

But this time, there wasn't even a trace of the other party's presence, let alone any aura.

It was as if the other party was just an invisible ghost, ruthlessly reaping them.

"How are we supposed to fight like this!"

Most of the martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realm finally changed color and turned to flee without hesitation.

These people were roughly as strong as the fallen middle-aged Shan Hai, and naturally had no power to fight back against such bizarre methods.

Even if a martial artist from the Mountain and Sea Realm has a much stronger chance of survival than an ordinary person and can eventually be saved after suffering such severe injuries, it is unknown how much it will cost to fully recover.

Moreover, once you perish, all the material rewards you've gained will be lost, meaning your trip to the Bridge of No Return will have been in vain.

Nobody wants to.

The original alliance collapsed instantly.

"Don't run away, that will only lead to being picked off one by one. Such a mysterious method must be unconventional. As long as we stick together, he will eventually run out of options!"

Qiu Ji tried to salvage the situation, but few people were willing to believe him anymore.

Left with no other choice, Qiu Ji gritted his teeth and turned to leave. Just then, accompanied by a cold laugh, a terrifying blow from a staff came crashing down on his head.

"You want to leave now? Did you even ask me first?"

The young man in the tattered Taoist robe had a look of unhappiness on his face; it was Liu Changqing, who had finally come to his senses.

He knew this was not the time to investigate who the mysterious person was. Given his temperament, how could he possibly let these people off so easily?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In Liu Changqing's hands, the long staff was like a pillar supporting the sky, each strike carrying immense force as it crashed down towards Qiu Ji.

The long staff, though seemingly powerful and heavy, appeared incredibly light. Amidst the seemingly chaotic and disorderly strikes, it drew a three-zhang circle, trapping Qiu Ji, who was frantically trying to break free, within it.

Qiu Ji, who was already no match for Liu Changqing, was struggling to cope when he suddenly sensed something and his expression changed.
