As soon as the giant octopus finished speaking, a massive number of purple tentacles spread through the surrounding space. These tentacles did not transform into purple liquid monsters; instead, they whipped towards Lin Haifeng like whips!
At this moment, Lin Haifeng's personal guards were taken aback. They hurriedly stood up from the pile of abandoned tiles and rushed towards Lin Haifeng, attempting to help their leader resist the incoming enemy. However, before they could reach him, a black ripple suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The ripple swept over the six guards, and with a sudden spray of blood, Lin Haifeng's only assistance was instantly torn to shreds.
Only at this moment did three figures emerge from the purple fleshy wall, and for a brief moment, the four stood silently facing each other.
Once the screams inside the wall created by the giant octopus subsided—leaving only the few present—Lin Haifeng finally spoke up.
"Where is the celestial god? Let him come out to see me."
What should have been a long-awaited reunion between father and son was met with nothing but a disdainful cold snort in response.
"Kill him!"
In an instant, the black ripple reappeared in the surrounding space.
…
The celestial god's avatar hid within the wall created by the giant octopus, watching the entanglement between the three soul puppets and Lin Haifeng below—energy fluctuations radiated all around but were completely blocked by the wall formed by the giant octopus.
Lin Haifeng's strength was indeed impressive; his title of sequence three in the human race was not a joke. Although it couldn't compare to his true form, this avatar was absolutely not something Lin Haifeng could notice.
Too easy to be killed…
However, the "friendly units" coming from the celestial god were not easy to deal with either.
The three soul puppets currently engaged in battle with Lin Haifeng, if any one of them were singled out, would pose enough of a threat to the celestial god's true form, let alone Lin Haifeng—confronted with three opponents slightly stronger than himself, Lin Haifeng immediately showed signs of being unable to withstand the pressure.
Although the celestial god did not have a detailed understanding of Lin Haifeng's individual strength, he could still assess the general range of his energy levels. Accordingly, for this assassination mission, the lord of the demon spirit had sent out sufficient power to ensure Lin Haifeng's elimination.
However, defeating someone and killing them are two different matters. In this day and age, which high-ranking individual does not have a few life-saving trump cards?
"Spatial teleportation... that's one."
Using short-range or even long-range teleportation items to escape danger was the best choice for running away. The celestial god had such items at his disposal, and he thought Lin Haifeng should also have similar life-saving methods.
"My ability is to sever all connection between here and the outside. At this moment, this space is self-contained; any means he has cannot escape my grasp."
The giant octopus explained to the celestial god, making it clear that their master had carefully considered everything before sending them out!
The celestial god was still not at ease.
"What about support from the outside?"
"The items personally crafted by the lord of the demon spirit guarantee that any being below level eleven cannot break through the defensive barrier. As for that guy with strength exceeding level eleven, I trust the lord of the demon spirit will have countermeasures in place."
The giant octopus did not know about the existence of guardian no. 2, nor did he need to know—because he believed that their master could not have overlooked such details.
Since they had taken action, this would definitely be a thorough finishing move!
"Then, what remains is simply the means of resurrection..."
"Tch..."
The giant octopus sneered. He looked down at Lin Haifeng, who had already fallen into a disadvantaged position in a short time, his tone dripping with disdain.
