Aside from Gu Yan 'er and Ji Chimei, Tan Xiu was the strongest person in the entire Tang Sect. Even Xue Yu, who had broken through to the Spirit Formation Stage, was no match for Tan Xiu. Aside from these people, the strongest person was Tang An. Not only was she a late-stage Golden Core expert, but she also mastered a space-related secret technique and even had some understanding of the laws of time.
Magical arts!
There might not be many people in the Tang Sect who were proficient in this field, but Tang An was definitely one of them. Not only did she like to study various ancient books on arrays, but she was also very keen on studying magical arts. Her research on some of them had yielded good results.
The flame emerging from the sea of fire exuded a deep blue luster. Any cultivator in the Immortal World would definitely recognize it at a glance if they saw it. It was the legendary True Flame.
Wang Sheng's body shook and his eyes nearly popped out. The power displayed by Tang An was already outrageously powerful. Never did he expect that she was also an ability user who was proficient in fire-related abilities.
"This flame …?"
Wang Sheng retreated backward because he was keenly aware that this was definitely not an ordinary flame. Even the flames he released seemed to be forced back the moment the blue flame appeared.
Tang An's figure disappeared again, but the immortal sword didn't disappear. It fluttered in the air and blocked all of Wang Sheng's escape routes.
"GET LOST!"
Wang Sheng roared furiously. Just as he was about to dodge the immortal sword's attack, his body suddenly turned stiff and he felt a chill on his neck. It was a dagger that appeared out of thin air and was placed on his neck.
"Follow me."
After Tang An appeared at Wang Sheng's side, her cold voice entered his ears.
The massacre in the Golden Coast progressed very quickly. All the members of the Darkwind organization who tried to resist were killed in cold blood. Dozens of members who chose to surrender were crippled and knocked out, and then brought to the square by more than a dozen experts of the Special Abilities Bureau to be detained.
When Tan Xiu and Duanmu Lin came to the square, Tan Xiu could clearly see the smile on Duanmu Lin's face.
"Senior Duanmu."
Tan Xiu called out with a smile.
Duanmu Lin nodded with satisfaction and said, "I didn't expect you to do better than I expected, Tan Xiu. You disintegrated the enemy from the inside and then easily destroyed them. These two defecting members of the Darkwind are very good and deserve a good reward. "
Tan Xiu calmly glanced at Guo Tao and Wen Feng, then calmly said, "Senior Duanmu is right. They have made a great contribution this time. I will reward them later."
Duanmu Lin nodded slightly and looked around. Then, the smile on his face slowly disappeared. He even frowned and asked, "Did you find any traces of Wang Sheng?"
Zhu Long shook his head and said, "I didn't find him. It's as if he disappeared into thin air. However, he should still be in the club, because just ten minutes ago, someone saw him. "
"Find him!" Duanmu Lin ordered in a deep voice. "You must find him even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!"
Tan Xiu's expression shifted as he shook his head and said, "No need."
"What do you mean?" asked Duanmu Lin, confused.
Just as he finished asking, two figures appeared in front of him out of thin air. One was Tang An, who was wearing a black night suit and a bronze mask, and the other was Wang Sheng, who was obviously seriously injured.
"This is …?"
Duanmu Lin was ecstatic after seeing Wang Sheng's appearance. He sincerely admired Tan Xiu at this moment. Not only was Tan Xiu's strength formidable, but even his men were also ridiculously strong. He originally thought that Wang Sheng would escape, but he didn't expect that he would be captured by Tan Xiu's men.
Tan Xiu's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's minds. After glancing at Duanmu Lin's face, he instantly appeared in front of Wang Sheng and released a burst of energy to hit more than a dozen acupoints on Wang Sheng's body. After completely restraining him, he took two steps back and smilingly said, "You're the Chief Intelligence Officer of the Darkwind in China?"
Wang Sheng stared at Tan Xiu and was silent for more than ten seconds. Then, he slowly said, "You should be able to see the condition of my body. I've lost most of my vitality and can only hold on for a few minutes at most. If you can't get the answer you want in a few minutes, I'm afraid you won't get another chance. "
Tan Xiu shook his head and smilingly said, "You might have some effect if you said that to someone else, but it's meaningless to me. Wang Sheng, you should know about my existence since you're the Chief Intelligence Officer of the Darkwind in China. Even the most detailed information about me has been placed in front of you. Am I right? "
A strange light flashed in Wang Sheng's eyes as he nodded and said, "You're right. I did read a lot of information about you, so I know you."
"Then, have you forgotten my identity?" Tan Xiu chuckled. "A Chinese medicine practitioner?"
Wang Sheng's expression shifted and a bad premonition grew inside his heart. He then asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
"Since you've already guessed it, then why waste your breath to ask?" Tan Xiu sneered. "My subordinate may have seriously injured you, but she received my order not to kill you. Hence, the reason why your vitality is fading so fast is because you're trying to commit suicide without her noticing. But I'm a Chinese medicine practitioner, so you won't die even if you try your best to do so. "
"Damn!"
Wang Sheng's expression twisted. He was indeed committing suicide, and he even used some special means to destroy his vitality. But Tan Xiu's words made him feel a sense of dread. He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid of living a life worse than death.
Tang Xiu squinted his eyes and mentally ravaged Wang Sheng again. "Also, you know something about my identity, but you don't know much about it. You don't know my identity as a cultivator, do you? To tell you the truth, I've already killed that Old Wei of your Darkwind organization. He's just a weak Golden Core Stage cultivator, yet he dared to be so arrogant in front of me. He deserved to die. "
"That's impossible!"
Wang Sheng screamed and the fear on his face turned more intense.
"Impossible?" Tan Xiu sneered. "Hahaha … how can ants like you understand the means of this Tan Xiu? There's one thing I must tell you. I'm a cultivator, and I have many means that you can't even imagine. One of them is the Soul Scouring Art. Even if you're dead, I can search your memory within five minutes and get the answer I want from your brain. "
The Soul Scouring Art?
The extremely sinister means in the legends? A secret art that only those devils can master?
Oh God!
If what he said was true, then he wouldn't be able to keep the organization's secret even if he died now. He knew too much, and it would cause great harm to the entire Darkwind organization once his memory was easily read.
"KILL ME!"
Wang Sheng abruptly raised his head and roared at the night sky.
Tan Xiu's complexion changed. He noticed that Tang An had disappeared into thin air in an instant. He instantly unleashed the divine sword inside his body and formed a series of sword images that blotted out the sky and crazily stirred up the sky. At this moment, a ghostly figure appeared amidst the layers of sword images. He was wearing a black night suit and a golden mask with a lump of iron on his back.
"Boom …"
The violent blast instantly blew dozens of people in the surroundings. Even those experts who were comparable to Foundation Establishment Stage experts had to endure the suffocating feeling in their chest and constantly retreated backward.
The mysterious skinny man with the golden mask looked like a lonely boat in the raging sea as he was sent flying upside down in the sword tide, spraying blood everywhere. A sharp throwing knife hit Tan Xiu's chest. The clothes on Tan Xiu's chest exploded, but the throwing knife only left a faint mark on it and didn't even pierce his skin.
"Interesting!"
Like a shadow, Tan Xiu dashed to the front of the mysterious man in a flash. Had it not been for his fast reaction, the throwing knife would've hit Wang Sheng's head instead of his chest.
Silencing the witness.
Such ruthlessness was the style of the Darkwind organization. Tan Xiu admired the man's forbearance. The fact that he was able to endure until the last moment before making his move was very likely because he had heard what he just said to Wang Sheng.
"That's impossible!"
The mysterious man's voice was very hoarse as he exclaimed while retreating. He was well aware of his own strength. He was an expert at the Golden Core Stage, yet the throwing knife he shot out with all his might only left a shallow mark on Tang Xiu's body. It didn't even pierce his skin, which was beyond his imagination.
The divine sword in Tan Xiu's hand flashed lightning-fast toward the mysterious man and heavily injured him again, leaving a bloody wound of more than 10 centimeters on his body. He then sneered and said, "It's true that I'm a cultivator, but I don't cultivate True Essence. I'm a Demon God Body Refinement Cultivator, so you can consider me as a body cultivator. Unless you have reached the Late-stage of the Gold Core Realm, and you need to have a divine weapon to be able to harm me, otherwise, you will not be a threat to me at all. "
Puff …
As his voice faded away, the divine sword swept again and directly cut the man's waist the moment the man showed a fearful expression.
A pained look emerged on Wang Sheng's face as he watched the scene in midair. He was well aware of some special arrangements in the Darkwind organization. Every Terminator who was assigned to a country and was responsible for all intelligence in that country would be assigned a Terminator by their side.
However …
His father was one of the founders of the Darkwind organization, and his words were definitely among the top three in the organization's top brass. He could be considered as a powerful figure. Before he was sent to the Kingdom of Hua Xia, his father had solemnly promised him that while the other leaders had Terminators following them, there would never be one by his side. His father said that he trusted him and that he wouldn't betray him.
"It turns out that Father doesn't trust anyone, including his own son."
Wang Sheng felt a heart-wrenching pain. He would never betray his father because his father was the person he respected and worshipped the most in the world. He even chose to commit suicide to keep the secret of the Darkwind organization for his father.
However, he soon realized that he was wrong.
