On the city streets, Wei Yang, dressed in civilian clothes, is rapidly absorbing the enraged souls.

However, unlike in the past...

At this moment, Wei Yang's forehead was slightly sweaty, and his hands were trembling, as if he could not extract the soul from the raging demon in front of him.

Just then.

A very faint sound of footsteps caught Wei Yang's attention...

Wei Yang immediately abandoned her prey, stood up warily, and looked at the road ahead.

Suddenly appearing not far behind Wei Yang was a tall, upright man dressed in a well-tailored suit.

He wore an exquisitely tailored white shirt and a pair of gold-rimmed round glasses on the bridge of his nose, behind which were long and deep-set eyes.

He possessed a scholarly composure, yet the air around him seemed shrouded in an invisible aura...

"Earth-rank expert..."

Wei Yang frowned, because he had already vaguely guessed the identity of the man in front of him.

As the man's pupils behind his glasses rippled, his hand began to twirl a scalpel-like dagger.

The blade, gleaming white like a crescent moon, was covered with beads of human blood, as if to indicate that the man had just experienced a brutal bloody battle.

"Little Dark God... it was really not easy to catch you."

The man chuckled softly, his voice as soothing as silk rubbing against ice.

"All the demons that died at your hands before were bait I threw out, and this raging beast is my final gift to you."

Wei Yang frowned, because he suddenly realized that he was completely unable to move his body!

"You are that greedy demon," Wei Yang asked calmly.

The man smiled, then turned around leisurely as if he had heard heavenly music, and continued walking towards Weiyang.

This time, however, his face held a smile that was a mixture of hunger and savagery.

"Of course, besides me, who else has the right to grant you the fate you deserve?"

Wei Yang: "I'm sorry you're late."

The man slowed his pace, as if he couldn't discern the truth in Wei Yang's expression.

A moment later, a chilling killing intent appeared in the man's eyes!

His steps toward Weiyang quickened instantly, and the dagger in his hand slashed toward Weiyang's neck with lightning speed!

Wei Yang sighed softly, and a wisp of black mist quickly shot out from above her head. This black mist seemed to have a spirit of its own and quickly rose into the air, disappearing in the night sky under the bright moon in an instant.

The next moment, the man's dagger pierced Wei Yang's neck with pinpoint accuracy...

In an instant, countless drops of blood gushed from Wei Yang's neck, staining the man's white tuxedo in front of her blood red.

However, there was no joy on the man's face at this moment.

The veins on his hands bulged, and the dagger in his hand continued to slash at Wei Yang's body at lightning speed until Wei Yang's body was reduced to a pile of minced flesh and bones by an irresistible force.

Looking at the pile of flesh that seemed to still be trembling physiologically, the man who had finished the cruel dismemberment simply took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the dagger.

His deep gaze was directed toward the direction where the black mist had disappeared.

......

Meanwhile, in a small alley in Starfish City.

A dozen or so prisoners dressed in prison clothes were hiding inside, whispering amongst themselves, as if they were trying to avoid something.

A tall prisoner asked, "Damn it, did you see who was breaking into the prison?"

"I didn't see anyone..."

"Damn it, those cell doors are controlled by an electronic system, not ordinary mechanical locks, you bunch of idiots."

"So, what should we do next? Even if we get out, we can't leave Starfish City!"

The prisoner's words immediately silenced everyone.

They were well aware of the strength of the Starfish City Guard; even a dozen or so members of just one squad were no match for them.

Just as everyone's breathing gradually became suffocated.

A man dressed like a beggar spoke up.

"You all have to take off your clothes and throw them down the drain so they can't track us down."

The leader of the prisoners clapped his hands, but continued to ask, "Old Li! How do we leave here? It's curfew now. As long as the guards are sent out, their senses will tell us we are prisoners."

"That's easy. There's a river that leads to the Yangtze River just a few hundred meters away. It's warm and humid right now. As long as we don't have tracking devices, we can use the fast-flowing river to get away quickly. Once we get to the suburbs and log on, no one will pay any attention to us there," Old Li the beggar said with a chuckle.

"That makes sense, Old Li."

"You truly are a blackjack pro, Lao Li!"

The leader of the prisoners thought for a moment, then finally approached Old Li, the beggar, and said with a grim face, "Old Li, you're injured. What are you going to do?"

Upon hearing this, the beggar immediately understood the prisoner leader's meaning.

Right now, the person most likely to be caught here is Old Li. Once he is caught and reveals the names of the others, then the others will certainly be caught by the guards.

Therefore, the easiest way to succeed is for Old Li, who provided the idea, to not betray them.

Old Li sighed, then reasoned with the prison leader: "I know what I should do. If it means betraying you and causing me to be tortured in prison, I'd rather commit suicide now, wouldn't that be better?"

The prison leader narrowed his eyes, seemingly still hesitant about whether to spare Old Li's life.

"Boss, time is of the essence, we need to act quickly," one of them said immediately.

"Yeah, boss, we still have a use for Lao Li, and he's helped us a lot, hasn't he?" someone else said in Lao Li's defense.

Seeing that everyone was speaking up for Lao Li, the eldest brother had no choice but to nod.

"Everyone, let's head to Liushuihe now. Quickly take off the prisoner's clothes, we're about to move."

...

All the prisoners left the street naked.

At this moment, Old Li, who had always been kind and gentle, suddenly became indifferent.

He slowly stood up and removed the mask covering his face, revealing a stubble-faced man.

When the mask was ripped off, Old Li felt as if he had entered a new world and took a deep breath.

However, a playful smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"These idiots actually believed it..."
