Only a few flashes of light erupted, and one person was struck and instantly killed on the spot.
"You all really don't take the Long Void Water Clan seriously," a member of the Long Void Water Clan said discontentedly.
Compared to those true experts, even if fuleira was on par or even exceeded many of them, they would still be no match. But against these individuals who were only a fraction of fuleira's strength, their Sacred Talisman attacks were not to be underestimated.
The Long Void Water Clan member who had been taken hostage quickly ran to the side, escaping the danger.
The remaining five exchanged glances, not daring to say anything, and continued to move step by step towards the exit.
At this moment, they had no other thoughts, only wanting to leave as quickly as possible.
As they passed by Ye Zhongming and the others, they didn’t dare to expose their backs to them, instead, they continued to retreat while holding the hostage.
Ye Zhongming was now too weak to stand, supported by two Long Void Water Clan members, smiling at them.
The people whose backs he was facing felt a chill run down their spines, becoming increasingly cautious.
Unfortunately, this did not save their lives.
Just as they reached the door, several gusts of wind suddenly rushed in. Four of the five instinctively turned around to see what was happening, while only one chose to apply force to choke the hostage in hand.
Regardless of their choice, none of them succeeded. Their lives were almost instantly taken away. The one who attempted to strike directly had his head smashed, becoming a headless corpse.
Outside, the ball that had shattered the target's head was whimpering, crying in pain.
Next to the ball, four towering figures stood at the entrance.
They were the four experts sent by Isabella to protect the Long Void Water Clan.
After eliminating the other attendants and guards of this small manor, the four waited outside, and coincidentally, the eight surviving members fell right into their hands.
At this moment, when they looked at the already weakened Ye Zhongming, who seemed like he would die at any moment, their expressions had completely changed.
They were responsible for protecting the Long Void Water Clan and naturally knew everything Ye Zhongming had done. Although it was a small-scale operation, it revealed this rookie's integrity, ruthlessness, decisiveness, and meticulousness.
Pushing himself to such an extent just to fulfill his promise to the Long Void Water Clan, even going as far as to antagonize the Hall People and directly annihilating one of their slave trading teams.
Such actions, which sacrificed the goodwill of the most powerful super clan for the sake of a promise, earned the respect of the four from the bottom of their hearts.
If it were their Musk Ke people doing such a thing, it might be easier to accept, but in reality, they wouldn’t dare. Yet, a weak Earthling from a small clan could fearlessly wield a blade against beings far more powerful than him; such courage was deserving of their respect.
Moreover, this person planned everything from the start to the final attack with great care, showing boldness and meticulousness. Whether in his use of abilities inside the house or in how he utilized those who made it clear they wouldn’t oppose the Hall People, everything was just right.
How could they happen to be waiting here for these eight-headed clan members with hostages in hand? Wasn't that all arranged by him? They wouldn't go against the Hall People, but they had no reservations about killing a few from Dark Strip City.
Such a meticulous planner, ruthless to himself and to the enemy, who could say he wouldn't become a significant figure in the future? That would be somewhat against one’s conscience.
This operation allowed Ye Zhongming to achieve his goals entirely.
Saving people was the most crucial part. The population of the Long Void Water Clan was already very scarce, and suddenly seeing ten of them was a tremendous feat. If they were just allowed to leave, not only would Ye Zhongming be unwilling, but it would also be a negative test for the relationship between him and the Long Void Water Clan.
