After failing a strike, Lin Haifeng's face revealed a fierce expression for the first time. His body once again radiated light, seemingly reluctant to accept defeat as he prepared to launch another attack against the wall cavity.
However, that last attack was truly Lin Haifeng's final opportunity...
As he gathered strength for a heavy punch—one that was even more ferocious than the previous one—a black ripple suddenly appeared at his elbow.
Getting closer, Lin Haifeng realized that this thin black line resembled a wound, as if space had been cut open by a sharp instrument.
Although his mind was racing, Lin Haifeng's body simply couldn't keep up with his brain's reaction speed. He indeed possessed strength, and his profession and skill set were exceptionally outstanding; however, after a long career as a commander, his combat experience inevitably showed significant gaps.
Time is fixed for everyone. If one spends too much time on other matters, it naturally encroaches on the time for other things. Perhaps there are geniuses in this world who can automatically acquire vast combat experience without needing to fight, but Lin Haifeng was clearly not one of them...
In fact, he was even somewhat worse than the average person...
At this moment, facing the assassin's attack, Lin Haifeng's first reaction was to assess the trajectory and operational principles of the incoming attack in his mind. By the time he finished processing those thoughts, the black line had already extended to his skin!
"Rip!"
An arm flew straight into the sky. In the next second, before Lin Haifeng could even perceive the pain, the wall cavity beside him underwent another transformation.
...
As the wall cavity pulsated, more than ten tentacles shot out rapidly. These tentacles wrapped around Lin Haifeng's body at lightning speed, instantly immobilizing all his movements!
In the blink of an eye, the one-armed Lin Haifeng was captured by the giant octopus in a turtle shell-like posture!
"You damn..."
In his rage, Lin Haifeng couldn't help but curse, until another tentacle waved in front of his mouth, causing him to fall completely silent.
Even if it meant death... he didn't want to engage in a disgusting deep play with this thing...
Realizing that the situation was settled, the giant octopus's wall cavity pulsated again, and the celestial god was smoothly spat out.
"Time for inspection," the giant octopus said. Then, the celestial god nodded and strode over to Lin Haifeng's side.
...
Although Lin Haifeng had shown basic strength worthy of his status during the brief battle just now, deep down, the celestial god still harbored some doubts about this encounter...
Everything seemed to be going too smoothly...
Perhaps this was a trap set by Lin Haifeng for himself, or perhaps the Lin Haifeng they had captured was not his true self.
But when the celestial god's avatar approached Lin Haifeng and thoroughly inspected him from head to toe without any signs of flaws, he finally set his heart at ease.
This was the true body—without a doubt, this was Lin Haifeng's real self!
Appearance can deceive, but the essence of the soul cannot. The Creation Energy contained within the celestial god's avatar moved through Lin Haifeng's body, easily discerning the essence of Lin Haifeng's soul—regarding the essence of the soul, even the soul creation technique, which the celestial god referred to as the culmination of soul skill systems, could not change.
Because this signifies the root of a living being's existence!
At this point, all the doubts in the celestial god's mind were cast aside—what suspicions could there be when Lin Haifeng was about to die?
The person was going to die... what schemes or traps could he have left?
Thus, the celestial god quickly took out... a camera from his Spatial Ring...
He walked a short distance away, set up the camera, and then spoke to the giant octopus.
"Now, let's bring out our little friend..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the wall cavity of the giant octopus twitched again, and Fang Yuqiong's figure appeared before everyone's eyes.
