“So…” Qin Ran raised the knife in his hand and thought, “When was I exposed?”
He reviewed his actions over the past few days, looking for details that might expose him.
"Captain, why are you doing this?" he asked as he reviewed the situation.
"Are you from Evil Shark Island?" Tie Ruonan continued to approach, already close to her optimal attack distance, she asked coldly, "Or are you actually the young master of Evil Shark Island?"
"Hmm? Has he suspected me since I brought back that corpse that day?" Qin Ran analyzed this sentence, but he realized, "No, Tie Ruonan also gave me elixirs that night, and Tie Ruonan doesn't have that kind of brains."
He glanced at the other Night Walkers, "They were not in the mood to consider whether I was from Shark Island or not."
"It can only be him." He thought of the man in red.
"Captain, what are you talking about?" He asked innocently, puzzled, "How could I be from Evil Shark Island?!"
"You are not from Shark Island? Then why did you kill our Night Walker?" Tie Ruonan had reached her best attacking position. She stopped moving forward, raised her sword, and completely locked onto Qin Ran with her aura.
At this moment, although Tie Ruonan stood still, Qin Ran felt as if the world had frozen. All his attention was drawn to the blade of Tie Ruonan's sword. He always felt that Tie Ruonan's sword would make him see his brains at any time.
The body was stiff because of the blade, and the skin was covered with goose bumps because of the murderous intent.
But Qin Ran's expression remained calm. He defended himself by saying, "I didn't kill Night Walker!"
"You didn't kill the Night Walker? Then why are your performances these past few days not worthy of your ability to kill the young master of Evil Shark Island? Every night, you only have one prey." Tie Ruonan lowered his head and looked at Blade. His voice was still cold and expressionless. "This is not the combat power you should show."
"Because the battle to hunt down the young master of Evil Shark Island that night was too thrilling, I don't want to take such risks again." Qin Ran explained.
"That's a very convincing explanation." Tie Ruonan nodded.
Although Tie Ruonan agreed with what he said, Qin Ran did not relax, because the blade of the knife in Tie Ruonan's hand glowed coldly in the darkness.
"I didn't believe you were a traitor at first, but now I do. Do you know why?" Tie Ruonan didn't wait for Qin Ran's answer, she answered herself, "Because, although your heart is trying to stay calm, your body, every inch of your flesh and blood, is telling of fear."
“Who wouldn’t be afraid when facing your sword, Captain?” Qin Ran replied.
"Still quibbling!" Tie Ruonan suddenly shouted.
In an instant, the calm that had been suppressed by Tie Ruonan's aura suddenly exploded, and in the darkness, all the murderous aura burst out with this loud shout.
"Chi-ying!"
A streak of white light suddenly lit up, and the blade light split the darkness and instantly hit Qin Ran's face!
Although Qin Ran had been quibbling, he was also on full alert. When the knife flashed, he raised it to defend himself.
But unfortunately, he was willing but not strong enough. He was not a physical cultivator, nor a body refiner, and was not even good at fighting. So even though he used his foresight to block the path of the sword, he still couldn't stop Tie Ruonan's angry sword.
The knife in his hand broke with a sound.
He moved aside in the midst of danger, and only his shoulder and the hand holding the knife were separated by Tie Ruonan's knife.
"Not bad!" Tie Ruonan praised in a cold voice.
However, when she spoke, she was about ten feet away from Qin Ran, and before she finished her words, she was already in front of Qin Ran.
The knife in his hand was more cruel and ruthless than her, and he slashed it down with one blow!
Only after facing Tie Ruonan did Qin Ran realize how strong she really was. He did not know it from watching from the sidelines, nor from the praise of others, nor from the spoils of war, but from the real threat to her life.
In the darkness, he clearly saw the sword in Tie Ruonan's hand suddenly enter his field of vision from a long distance, and then get closer and closer to his eyes, so close that it entered his brain...
She pulled it down again!
“Swish!”
He was cut in half by a knife!!
"What a sharp knife!" he praised out loud.
Tie Ruonan stood in front of Qin Ran with the knife in hand. She was not happy because she had split Qin Ran in half, nor was she honored by Qin Ran's praise. Her face was still calm, even more solemn than when she found out that Qin Ran was indeed a traitor and a traitor.
Because, even though the man in front of her was split in half by her, he was still standing.
Although she had cut off one of his hands and had split him in half, there was no blood.
There was no blood spurting out, no blood soaking her whole body like rain.
She loved bathing in the blood of her enemies, watching them spurt out like a giant whale's spout. She thought it was beautiful. It was her only romance.
But the man was still standing, with no pain, regret or other expressions on his face. Instead, he started to laugh.
The situation has quietly reversed.
"Who are you?" She raised her head and glared at Qin Ran's eyes which were split into two halves.
"We are actually very familiar with each other." Qin Ran smiled gently, but his appearance at the moment was a little weird with his smile. He respectfully addressed, "Captain Tie!"
As he laughed and talked, the two halves of his body melted like snow.
"Captain Tie, we will meet again." His body melted into water, and he became shorter and shorter, but he raised his head, looked up at Tie Ruonan, and promised with a smile, "I will kill you all."
"By you?"
Who is Tie Ruonan? How could any weirdness or threats scare her?
She swung the knife again, and with a flash of light, Qin Ran's already shrunken body was split into four pieces. He was no longer able to hold on, and fell to the ground, continuing to melt.
"You can't leave Shenhua Mountain." The four halves of the body lying on the ground melted faster and soon turned into water, soaking into the soil, making a sound, "Just me."
"You're scaring me?!"
Tie Ruonan gathered his strength and swung out more than ten times with his sword, creating a regular large pit where Qin Ran disappeared.
But there was still no sign of Qin Ran.
Qin Ran was probably indeed moistened, right under her nose, in such a weird way.
She held her sword in her hand, standing at the edge of the pit, her eyes bloodshot, and taking deep breaths.
When she calmed down a little, a night walker came over and asked, "Captain, are you still going to carry out the mission tonight?"
Tie Ruonan turned around and stared at him coldly, and asked, "Why? Are you afraid of him? Are you afraid of death?"
"Don't be afraid." The night walker replied.
"He's obviously not a body cultivator, he just knows some fancy techniques." Tie Ruonan snorted, "Be careful, what else can he do? Continue the mission!"
"yes!"
The night walkers responded and then disappeared into the darkness to continue their mission for the night.
Tie Ruonan looked at the huge hole she had cut with murderous intent, and then began to carry out tonight's mission.
After the night walkers completed their mission and returned to the formation, they counted the number of people and found that there was still one person missing tonight.
Tie Ruonan didn't know whether the Night Walker was killed while performing his mission or was killed by a traitor. But she just thought that the Night Walker was killed while performing his mission.
The next night they continued their mission as normal and did not take the traitor's warning seriously.
So when they came back after completing the mission and counted the number of people, there were only nine Night Walkers left.
The third night, seven.
On the fourth night, six.
On the fifth night, a night walker finally suggested to Tie Ruonan: "Captain...how about we end this mission here? Anyway, the Shenhua Mountain incident is almost over, and many cultivators have already left."
Tie Ruonan was sitting cross-legged on the ground wiping her knife. She was wiping the knife with a piece of cloth that was covered with runes and stained with a strange smell.
She had a blank expression on her face and only asked, "Are you scared?"
"No."
"Are you afraid of him?"
"I'm not afraid of him!"
Tie Ruonan glanced at the night walker and saw that he had a dark face and no beard, with two hideous scars on his left cheek.
She lowered her head and continued to wipe the knife. She said calmly, "We are the gods of death in the dark, hunting monks in the dark. The monks of Shenhua Mountain fear us and respectfully call us Night Walkers. It has been like this for thousands of years.
"It's always been sharks that hunt other fish. Have you ever seen sharks being hunted as prey?
"We are night walkers, we are hunters! If we don't kill him now, how can we continue to exist in this world?!"
She threw down the knife cloth, raised her sword, pointed the blade at the remaining six Night Walkers, and asked coldly, "Are you afraid?"
“Swish, swish, swish!”
The six Night Walkers all drew their swords, and the Black-Faced Night Walker said, "It's just death, what's there to be afraid of?!"
"Sharpen your knives!" Tie Ruonan shouted, "Tonight, we are hunters!"
Night Walkers also use that special tool to clean their knives.
Then the group of seven people left the formation again.
Tie Ruonan groped in the darkness with her sword in hand, searching carefully on Shenhua Mountain. Tonight, she didn't care about anyone else, she just wanted to find the traitor.
She searched for half the night, and at midnight, when the moon was high in the sky, she came to the beach and saw a man in black sitting on the rocks with his back to her.
Black clothes are the night clothes of night walkers, and with his stature and temperament, she thought she would not forget him so quickly.
"Are you waiting for me?" Tie Ruonan quietly walked to the best distance for her to attack, locked her aura on the man on the reef, and asked, "Are you waiting to die!"
The man on the reef turned around and saw the face of the traitor. He asked Tie Ruonan, "Are you here alone?"
"It only takes one hand to kill you. So what if I'm alone?" Tie Ruonan replied.
“You can’t.” The man on the reef shook his head. “You can beat me, but you can’t kill me.”
Tie Ruonan raised the knife to show the man on the reef. The cloth and the mysterious magic she used to wipe the knife gave the knife a special effect.
She said: "My sword can cut off the soul. No matter how many magic tricks you have, you only have one soul."
"Very good." The man on the reef nodded in agreement, "You already have the weapon to kill me. But how are you going to keep me?"
"Why do you think I'm talking so much nonsense to you?" Tie Ruonan said.
The man on the reef reacted and looked around. Sure enough, the remaining six night walkers were surrounding him all around, including on the sea.
"Are you waiting for them?" His expression finally changed.
"You are too arrogant." Tie Ruonan said, "I asked you to kill a few night walkers with despicable means, and you don't even know your last name!"
After saying this, she clenched the sword in her hand, her figure suddenly flashed, and she rushed towards the reef.
Under the moonlight, because she was running so fast, her shadow was stretched into a long line.
At the same time, other night walkers also surrounded and rushed towards the reef.
Tie Ruonan was the strongest and fastest, and she reached the reef first. She chopped down the traitor with her sword, and the traitor had no power to resist, and was split in half by her sword.
Then……
The traitor is still alive!
Just like that night, he was split in two and stood steadily and strangely on the rocks under the moonlight.
But, her sword can cut souls, right?! Did the red-clothed guy trick her?
She looked at her knife and couldn't help asking the traitor who was cut in half: "Why didn't you die?"
"Why?" The traitor smiled and gave Tie Ruonan an answer, "Because I don't have a soul."
At this time, the other six night walkers also arrived on the reef.
Tie Ruonan looked carefully at the traitor in front of her, and suddenly felt that he was a little transparent. She realized that something was wrong and shouted hurriedly: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!!"
But it was too late.
With a loud bang, the traitor exploded.
Under the bright moonlight, the exploded traitor looked like a wave blooming on the shore.
The water he exploded splashed onto the rocks and the seven night walkers, including Tie Ruonan.
"Hmm?" Tie Ruonan stuck out her tongue and tasted the liquid that flowed to her lips. She didn't taste any blood. She was very puzzled, "Water?!"
"No." At this time, the night walker who rushed over from the sea spoke up and explained to him, "It's poison."
"What?" Tie Ruonan was startled and looked up at the Night Walker opposite her. It was the black-faced Night Walker who suggested that she terminate the mission.
At this moment, under her gaze, she saw the black-faced night walker's figure slowly change into the appearance of the traitor she was familiar with.
"It's you!?" She was surprised and raised her knife to chop at the traitor.
But for some reason, the moment she swung the knife, she suddenly felt weak all over, and a feeling of being half dead and half alive rose in her heart.
She suddenly wanted to die and not live, and her hands were completely exhausted.
"bite!"
So her knife was caught by the traitor, and then the traitor flashed and disappeared in front of her.
She was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, she felt a knife stabbed into her heart from her back...
"When did my reaction become so bad?" she thought belatedly.
"I was able to sneak into your midst once, why can't I sneak into your midst again?"
The traitor's voice came, and she looked in the direction of the voice, and saw the traitor suspended in mid-air, on the sea, with the bright moonlight shining on him. He smiled gently, gentle and elegant, even a little holy.
...It would have been more perfect if there wasn't her blood spurting out of him.
The traitor's smile made her feel somewhat familiar. As she was searching slowly, she saw the traitor in mid-air change shape and turn into a man named Han Li, whom she had killed with her own hands on the day she landed on the island.
"It's you?!" she exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s not me.” Qin Ran shook his head and smiled, then changed back to his true appearance with a very evil look, “It’s me.”
“!!!!” This shocked Tie Ruonan for the rest of her life. When the death pill invaded her heart and soul, she shouted with resentment, disbelief and loudness in her last voice, “Li Feiyu?!!!”
The shrill sound echoed far away on the sea and under the moonlight.
Qin Ran watched Tie Ruonan slowly fall down, along with several other night walkers, on the reef he had carefully selected for them.
The sky was azure blue and the moonlight was bright. He smiled gently, shook his head slightly, and corrected softly, "No, my name is Qin Ran."
