Mo Ke deeply regretted that his leader hadn't advised him to be vigilant when he received the mission to assassinate the Black Hand.
Although she wasn't the most core member of the Black Flag team, she was still a branch of the Mo family and had become a cultivator thanks to her family's gifts, so she still had some say.
Who knew... the water here was so deep...
She was tied to a chair and tried to struggle, but was completely unable to move.
The old man who had just left to open the door was one of the guards here. Mo Ke didn't know what his power was, but judging from the respectful attitude of the two escorts towards him, he was at least a very senior person with extraordinary abilities, or even a cultivator.
Besides the old man, there were two other tall and burly sailors present. The way they looked at Mo Ke sent chills down Mo Ke's spine, making him tremble all over.
She was thrown into a solitary cell, while several other cells contained members of the same hunting party, all of whom possessed extraordinary abilities...
"What's going on?" A sailor looked toward the door, where a sound seemed to be coming from.
He quickly stood up and walked over there.
"A good opportunity!" Mo Ke thought to herself. Her hands, which were tied behind her back, touched a strand of her hair that had fallen out, and she used her ability.
The strands of hair seemed to come alive, gliding nimbly like a small snake, or as sharp as a blade.
Swish, swish, swish.
The ropes binding Moko were all cut, but she didn't get up immediately. While listening to what was happening outside the cell, she used her abilities.
She heard someone fall to the ground, the sound of blood splattering, and screams.
She was both surprised and delighted. Could it be that someone from the hunting party had come to rescue them?
No, impossible. Mo Ke quickly denied this guess. The last order from the commander "Black Flag" was to scatter and escape at all costs and absolutely not to come to the rescue.
What kind of terrifying enemy did the commander encounter at that time? Was it a cultivator at the Qi Realm or the Ming Realm? Only such a powerful enemy would prompt the commander to issue such an order.
Mo Ke dared not think about it too deeply.
Her abilities needed time to take effect, so she began to strengthen her clothing, making it as tough as armor.
If Chen Jing were to see this, he would immediately think of another extraordinary individual in the hunting party.
"Treasure Bag"!
“Invisible…” came the sound of a sailor falling to the ground from outside.
Mo Ke heard the sounds outside and felt a surge of joy and delight. She calmly picked up a piece of rope that had been cut off and was lying on the ground. With a gentle flick, the originally bent and tough rope became straight, as hard as iron and as sharp as a sword.
She had a pretty good idea of what was going on: someone had used invisibility to sneak into the prison and was coming to rescue them!
She took the rope sword, walked to the cell door, and looked outside.
A cloaked man covered in blood is fighting the last sailor. His dark cloak is stained crimson, and his sword is clean and sharp.
But the last sailor had the advantage of size and strength, and relying on his shield, he defended flawlessly for a time.
The sailor shouted for help as he backed away.
He had clearly forgotten one thing: in order to torment the sacrificial animals here and prevent their voices from disturbing the people on the ship, they had modified this room to have powerful soundproofing.
You reap what you sow!
Through the cage, Mo Ke aimed slightly at the two warriors who were constantly shifting positions in close combat. She was about to throw the "rope" in her hand as a throwing knife, but she frowned and chose to give up.
"This is too difficult..." she thought to herself. "Why can't you all just stand still..."
She was worried that she might throw a "knife" but accidentally hit the person who came to her rescue.
After a moment's thought, Mo Ke placed his left hand, fingers together, on the cell door, closed his eyes, and silently chanted.
The iron cage-like prison door began to rust, corrode, and soften.
But this takes time; "weakening" is much more laborious than "temporary strengthening," and that takes far too long for a close-quarters battle.
Just as Mo Ke had finished weakening herself and was about to break open the prison door, she heard someone fall to the ground.
When Moko nervously looked up, she saw the last sailor fall as well.
The man in the blood-stained cloak took a few breaths, looked around, and finally walked toward the cell door where Mo Ke was.
“This…” Mo Ke’s pupils contracted slightly.
...
Chen Jing opened the cell door. During this battle, he had consumed a lot of physical strength and energy, but his spiritual energy was the least depleted. He only briefly submerged into the "Dark Sea" to become invisible for a moment before leaving by attacking others.
In just a few minutes, he killed five people, and in both this life and his memories before transmigrating, he had never had his hands stained with blood.
However, Chen Jing did not experience much emotional fluctuation. On the one hand, it was because he did not know these people, and the environment here and the fate of his relatives made him feel murderous towards them. On the other hand, Chen Jing suspected that this was due to the influence of the black pill.
Did the Black Pill really just transform him into a person with extraordinary abilities? In this short battle, Chen Jing felt that his strength, speed, stamina, reaction ability, mental endurance, and calmness had all improved to varying degrees.
After looking around and finding that Wan Tong was still alive and well, just locked in a cell, and that she was looking out with hope, Chen Jing felt a little relieved.
But it's not time to relax yet, he told himself.
The poor people captured here didn't know what the newcomers were doing, but they were terrified by Chen Jing's clean and decisive killing. The vicious people who had tortured them and even bled them to death fell quickly under his sword. Therefore, they didn't even dare to make a loud noise, for fear of displeasing him.
