After killing Li Hai, Ye Tian's figure once again vanished into the darkness.
"Was that a sound?"
Mo Shaobei heard the noise outside his room—it was the sound of someone falling. Though he didn't know what had happened, he shouted: "Li Hai, what's going on outside?"
No response!
"Something's wrong!"
Mo Shaobei thought.
Li Hai had just gone out. With the hearing of a Martial Artist, he should hear Mo Shaobei's voice even from 100 meters away. Now Li Hai had no response. Something definitely happened!
A sense of crisis arose, and Mo Shaobei became inexplicably afraid.
"I can't go out. Absolutely can't go out!"
Mo Shaobei felt that if he went out, he might be doomed.
"Help!"
Mo Shaobei shouted.
Though unsure if it would help, he refused to sit and wait for death.
Though the Mo Family had few Martial Artists, once alerted, their experts would rush over one by one. Even an Elite Martial Artist wouldn't escape the Mo Family's grasp.
Outside,
Ye Tian hid in shadow state in the darkness and heard Mo Shaobei's call. He realized waiting for Mo Shaobei to come out was unrealistic.
"Mo Shaobei is too cautious and timid. Looks like I have no choice but to kill him by force!"
Ye Tian thought.
Immediately, he deactivated Shadow Talent, activated Speed Talent, and charged toward Mo Shaobei's room at triple speed.
In an instant, Ye Tian broke through the door.
"It's you!"
Mo Shaobei was stunned upon seeing Ye Tian.
Then he saw the black blade in Ye Tian's hand and his expression changed drastically: "Shadow's Shadow Knife! You killed Shadow?"
Only then did he understand why Shadow had no response for three days—Shadow was dead by Ye Tian's hand.
"So it was you who sent someone to kill me!"
Ye Tian had been 90% sure it was Mo Shaobei before; now he was 100% certain.
"You have no Yuan Force aura. A Martial Apprentice might kill a useless Martial Artist like Li Hai by assassination, but killing me is almost impossible. If one more minute passes, Mo Family's experts will arrive, and you'll be dead!"
Mo Shaobei forced himself to calm down .
In fact, he was extremely panicked inside.
Shadow was a terrifying assassin who made Martial Artists tremble. To be killed by Ye Tian, even if Ye Tian was only a Martial Apprentice, meant Ye Tian was stronger than many Martial Artists.
"One minute? No, you won't last ten seconds!"
Ye Tian moved.
"Shadow Kill!"
The black blade transformed into a black flash, striking Mo Shaobei like lightning. This was a strike enhanced by Speed Talent, enough to instantly kill a beginner Martial Artist.
Mo Shaobei was a genius, much stronger than his peers and quick to react. He tried to block Ye Tian's Shadow Knife with his long sword.
Unfortunately, he underestimated Ye Tian and the Bronze-level Knife Technique.
With a flash of blade light, Mo Shaobei's right hand was cut off at the arm.
Before he could shout, the second Shadow Kill struck—this blade aimed at Mo Shaobei's neck.
"No!"
Mo Shaobei shouted in despair and tried to dodge with all his might, but no miracle happened.
A perfectly good head flew off his body, landing far away with wide eyes full of disbelief.
After killing Mo Shaobei, Ye Tian didn't even have time to gather loot. He hurried out, entered shadow state in the shadows, and quickly escaped Mo Family.
Concealed by the night, Ye Tian walked along the shadows. Even passing by Mo Family servants, no one noticed him.
But Ye Tian did not dare to linger. He was unsure whether Ye Family had Great Martial Artists.
On the surface, Seaside Base had few Great Martial Artists, but in reality,
since learning that many Intermediate-grade Talent Martial Artists existed, Ye Tian knew there must be more Great Martial Artists in Seaside Base.
Perhaps these Great Martial Artists were the trump cards of major families and rarely showed themselves. But if a talented Intermediate-grade Martial Artist died, the Mo Family's Great Martial Artists would surely be furious.
Encountering a Great Martial Artist meant death for Ye Tian, even if he was a hundred of him.
Shortly after Ye Tian left Ye Family, Many Mo Family elders gathered at Mo Shaobei's residence.
A middle-aged woman saw Mo Shaobei's severed head and cried: "My son!" before fainting.
The others from Mo Family all looked grim.
"Who killed my son!"
A burly Martial Artist roared.
His aura exploded, forcing surrounding Martial Apprentices and even ordinary Martial Artists to step back, unwilling to get close.
He was an Elite Martial Artist, a mid-stage elite close to late-stage.
He was Mo Shaobei's father, Mo Family's Tenth Elder, Mo En!
"Tenth Elder, calm down!"
An elder hurriedly spoke.
Mo En's eyes welled with bloody tears, clearly furious beyond measure: "I only have one son, and his Talent reached Intermediate-grade. Even I only have Top Basic-grade Talent. I spent countless years to reach mid-stage Elite Martial Artist but could not advance further. My son had the hope of becoming a great Martial Artist. He was my hope and the Mo Family's hope, but now he's dead—and killed by the Mo Family. How can I stay calm?"
At this moment,
a strong aura came from nearby. All Mo Family members lowered their heads respectfully. Even Mo En calmed down somewhat.
They knew this was the Mo Family's only Great Martial Artist, the Old Ancestor Mo Changqing.
"Ancestor, Shaobei is dead!"
Mo En knelt, tears streaming as he looked at the ancestor.
"I know!"
Mo Changqing was also furious, but given the situation, the only way was to find the killer and avenge Shaobei.
Mo Changqing arrived at the scene, first looking at Li Hai's body, then at Mo Shaobei's body.
"Li Hai was killed by a sneak attack assassination. Mo Shaobei was forcibly killed with two slashes after the attacker broke into the room. The attacker's strength should be early-stage Martial Artist, uses a blade, and is skilled in concealment. Otherwise, he couldn't have entered Mo Family, and Li Hai, a Martial Artist, failed to detect him. This is no ordinary stealth method!" Mo Changqing judged.
"Shadow!"
Mo En thought of someone and showed intense killing intent.
"It must be Shadow!" Mo Changqing nodded. "Only a Martial Artist with a special talent like Shadow could instantly kill Li Hai and forcibly kill Shaobei. Shadow is an assassin and normally would not target a major family's members unless offered an irresistible reward!"
In an instant, the Mo Family elders targeted several families hostile to the Mo Family.
Mo Shaobei's Intermediate-grade Talent was no secret. With enough resources, the Mo Family could have another Great Martial Artist within ten years. This expansion was not welcomed by some families. Sending Shadow to assassinate Mo Shaobei was possible.
"Investigate. Find out which family did this. Also, offer any reward to capture Shadow. I want Shadow to regret this for a lifetime!"
