Lin Chun was the first to charge out upon hearing the words, his body enveloped in a faint green light.
The moment the ten individuals landed on the deck, Lin Chun had already struck.
This fellow was originally a mercenary, possessing ample combat experience.
Now, having cultivated the Shepherd's Power, he possessed even more formidable strength.
With the combination of both, his combat prowess had ascended to a new level.
As Lin Chun charged forward, he was like a ferocious tiger, instantly colliding with one of the attackers.
"Bang!" A dull thud resounded. The man had clearly underestimated Lin Chun's strength, being sent flying and subsequently falling into the sea.
Witnessing this turn of events, a man leaning on a crutch had his face darken, his gaze fixed on my face.
After a long pause, he slowly spoke, "You are Lu Ziye, aren't you?"
"You know me?" I glanced at the man, asking with a faint smile.
"Kill him!" the man commanded coldly.
During the brief moment we were conversing, Lin Chun, with astonishing speed, had already tossed five or six individuals into the sea.
At this point, more people leaped from the opposing ship onto mine.
I knew very well that this situation could not continue.
Therefore, with virtually no hesitation, I charged towards those individuals.
My hand clenched, terrifying flames coalesced on my palm, while in my other hand, a short sword appeared.
Seeing the flames on my palm, the man with the crutch visibly faltered.
Everything seemed to be escalating beyond expectations.
However, I didn't give him much time to think. As I charged, the flames swept out.
Those unfortunate souls were instantly engulfed in fire. Without me needing to make any further movements, they plummeted into the sea.
Seizing this opportunity, I charged again, tossing the remaining few overboard. Simultaneously, I leaped onto the enemy's ship.
At this moment, flames blazed around my body, as if I had been scorched by something, and I began to attack wantonly.
I could sense the Shepherd's Power within these individuals, so I decided to end this quickly.
The short sword appeared in my palm, and I transformed into a streak of light.
Within the range of the Wilderness Domain, my speed and strength achieved a qualitative leap.
Indeed, as I reaped their lives like a phantom, Lin Chun had also completely finished his task.
The thugs who had jumped over now lay on the ground, their fates unknown.
"Couldn't you have used your brains?" the man with the crutch gritted out.
Just then, the door was suddenly flung open, and several individuals carrying machine guns appeared, their dark muzzles trained on Lin Chun and me.
Honestly, I possessed enough confidence now to evade some bullets, but I was unsure to what extent Lin Chun could do the same...
At this moment, I suddenly regretted involving Lin Chun.
If I had come alone, such a situation would never have occurred.
Lin Chun looked at me, his face also filled with apology.
Seeing our movements cease, a cold smile spread across the face of the man with the crutch.
"That fellow Weixina spent so much money to kill you, I don't think it was worth it..." the man with the crutch sneered.
"What you're saying is incomprehensible, we are just tourists..." I replied.
"Do you really think I'm a fool?" the man with the crutch stated indifferently. "These monsters cultivated by that guy, no normal person could possibly defeat them..."
"You dealt with them so easily, do you still need to hide your identities?" the man with the crutch asked with a stern face. "Lu Ziye, right?"
I shrugged, remaining silent.
"I didn't expect this mission to be so easy. Come with us!" the man with the crutch said. "I imagine you'd also like to have a slightly easier time..."
I sighed and glanced at Lin Chun. "How much of this morning's drink have you had?"
Upon hearing this sudden question, the man with the crutch frowned, but Lin Chun smiled. "I haven't had a chance to savor it properly, only had two sips..."
Although the words seemed disconnected, they were a signal between Lin Chun and me.
Asking him how much he drank was asking about his current consumption.
His answer of two sips indicated that he had consumed about two-tenths of his Shepherd's Power.
"Do you trust me?" I asked with a smile.
Lin Chun didn't speak, but nodded earnestly.
"Then die!" I exclaimed, and with a backhanded punch, struck Lin Chun!
Lin Chun flew backward, directly sent out of the deck by my punch and falling into the sea.
"Kill that guy!" the man with the crutch roared. Those behind him raised their guns and peered towards where Lin Chun had fallen into the water...
There was nothing below!
