200: Chapter 200 Xia Bingli's High-Energy Moment!
Shelter main castle, council hall.
Lin Yuan was handling the Shelter's daily affairs when Su Yuyan pushed the door open, her expression somewhat solemn.
"Lin Yuan, news from the Intelligence Department."
Su Yuyan handed him a piece of intelligence:
"Sun Wu's Evolver Guild has assembled five hundred elites and is moving toward our Shelter."
"Five hundred people?"
Lin Yuan looked at the intelligence, a cold sneer hooking the corner of his mouth:
"It seems the secret meeting yesterday has already led to this action."
He activated his B-rank Crisis Insight Ability, instantly sensing every movement within a ten-kilometer radius.
Sure enough, five kilometers to the southwest of the Shelter, a troop was moving slowly.
Five hundred Ability Users, the three leaders among them having the strongest auras, all at the A-Rank Esper level.
"They stopped five kilometers away and didn't continue approaching."
Lin Yuan said coldly:
"It seems they want to test our reaction."
"Should we send troops to intercept?"
Su Yuyan asked.
"No need to make a big fuss."
Lin Yuan waved his hand, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes:
"Go call Bing Li."
"Xia Bingli?"
Su Yuyan was stunned:
"You intend to let her go alone? That is five hundred Ability Users!"
"Trust me."
Lin Yuan laughed:
"To deal with trash like this, she alone is enough."
Ten minutes later, Xia Bingli pushed the door open.
She still wore that indifferent expression, her short silver hair shining in the sunlight.
Her black tight-fitting combat suit outlined her perfect body curves.
"Master."
Her voice was cold as frost, concise and capable.
"There is a small task."
Lin Yuan pointed toward the direction outside the Shelter:
"Five kilometers to the southwest, there are five hundred guys who don't know the meaning of death wandering around."
"Go and take care of them."
"Leave half of them alive, do whatever you want with the rest."
Hearing this order, a flash of excitement appeared in Xia Bingli's eyes.
As a top-tier killer, she hadn't fought to her heart's content in too long!
Although life in the Shelter was comfortable, for someone like her...
Slaughter was more exciting.
"Understood."
She knelt on one knee, a flash of killing intent in her eyes.
...
Five kilometers southwest of the Shelter.
Sun Wu brought five hundred elites and set up camp in a ruin.
This place used to be the commercial district of Jiangcheng, now full of collapsed high-rises and abandoned vehicles.
"Guild Leader, what do we do next?"
An A-Rank Esper asked.
"No rush."
Sun Wu held binoculars, looking at the towering alien alloy city wall in the distance:
"Our mission is to test, not to attack."
"Just set up camp here and see what kind of reaction Lin Yuan will have."
He was actually feeling a bit apprehensive inside.
After all, the opponent was a ruthless person who could slay an SSS-rank Demonic Dragon.
But the Alliance's plan had to be executed, and they really wanted to see Lin Yuan's trump cards.
"However..."
Sun Wu narrowed his eyes:
"If Lin Yuan really dares to send someone to cause us trouble..."
"We will let them see the power of our Evolver Guild!"
Five hundred Ability Users dispersed in the ruins to establish a defensive line.
Various warning devices were set up, forming a small military camp.
These people were all elites, the weakest having B-rank Esper strength.
Their equipment was complete, including various firearms, grenades, and even a few mortars.
It looked quite imposing.
However, they had no idea that the Grim Reaper had quietly descended.
...
Night fell.
In the ruined camp, bonfires dotted the area.
Ability Users took turns on watch, seemingly heavily guarded.
Sun Wu was studying a battle map in his tent when he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.
He looked up and scanned his surroundings but found nothing unusual.
"Strange... this feeling..."
It was as if he was being watched by something terrifying.
But his B-rank Psychic Ability told him there were no enemies around.
"Maybe I'm just suspicious..."
He shook his head and continued looking at the map.
But what he didn't know was that at this moment, in the shadows on the outskirts of the camp,
Xia Bingli was sneaking in quietly like a ghost.
Her S-rank Shadow Assassin Superpower was activated to the extreme.
Her entire body was completely integrated into the darkness, and even her aura had vanished without a trace.
As a former top-tier killer, infiltration and assassination were her instincts.
"Five hundred... that's quite a lot."
She licked her lips, a bloodthirsty glint flashing in her eyes:
"Then... I'll start clearing from the edges."
At the very edge of the camp, two B-rank Espers were patrolling.
They were Fire-type and Earth-type Ability Users, working in tacit understanding.
"Speaking of which, why did the Guild Leader make us stay here?"
The Fire-type Ability User complained in a low voice:
"That Lin Yuan Shelter is so far away, it poses no threat to us at all."
"Who knows."
The Earth-type Ability User shrugged:
"Just follow orders, the Guild Leader has his own arrangements."
Just as they were talking, two streaks of silver light flashed from the shadows.
So fast that even afterimages couldn't be seen!
Pfft!
A sharp flying knife instantly pierced the Fire-type Ability User's throat.
Fresh blood splattered out!
"What—"
The Earth-type Ability User was about to scream, but another dagger had already accurately pierced his temple.
Crack!
A crisp sound of bone breaking rang out.
The two didn't even have time to scream before they died silently.
Xia Bingli's movements were as fluid as a performance art.
Every movement was precise and fatal, not wasting a shred of excess energy.
This was the terror of a top-tier killer—
Fast, accurate, ruthless!
And absolutely silent.
After dealing with the two corpses, Xia Bingli continued to sneak deeper into the camp.
The next target was a five-man squad on the left flank of the camp.
They were sitting around a campfire, discussing something in low voices.
"I heard that Lin Yuan Shelter is full of women?"
A yellow-haired young man's eyes glowed:
"Damn, sixty thousand women! What kind of god-like life is this!"
"Exactly, why does that Lin Yuan get to monopolize it?"
Another person said jealously:
"When the Guild Leader and the others take down that Shelter, us brothers can get a share of the soup!"
"Hehe, I've already thought about it, I'm going to pick a few pretty ones..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Swish!
A sharp dagger pierced out from the yellow-haired young man's back.
Fresh blood instantly dyed his chest red.
"Enemy attack—"
The others were about to shout, but Xia Bingli's figure was already weaving through the shadows like a phantom.
Blade light flashed!
Within a second, five flying knives accurately shot into the vital points of the five people.
Heart, throat, temple...
Every knife was a fatal wound!
All five fell at almost the same time, without even a chance to call for help.
The whole process was terrifyingly quiet.
Xia Bingli looked at the "masterpiece" before her, her gaze still cold as frost:
"Too weak."
She continued to sneak into the center of the camp.
Along the way, the Ability Users she encountered fell silently one after another.
Ten, twenty, fifty...
Everyone's cause of death was different, but all were extremely precise.
Some had their throats cut by flying knives, some had their hearts pierced by daggers, some had their temples pierced by blades...
But without exception, all were killed in one blow!
This was the terror of an S-rank Shadow Assassin Superpower!
In the shadows, she was the absolute Grim Reaper!
...
In the center of the camp, Sun Wu finally felt that something was wrong.
Theoretically, the patrol teams should report the situation regularly.
But half an hour had passed, and the communicator was silent.
"Something's wrong..."
He frowned:
"Third brother, you take people to the outskirts and see why the patrol team has no movement?"
"Alright!"
An A-Rank Esper got up and took a dozen subordinates toward the outskirts.
But as soon as they walked out of the tent, they saw a scene that made their hair stand on end—
On the ground, there were corpses everywhere!
Over fifty corpses lay scattered on the ground, blood dyeing the ruins red.
The state of everyone's death was extremely tragic, but strangely...
There were no signs of fighting at the scene!
It was as if these people were killed instantly!
"This... how is this possible?!"
The A-Rank Esper gasped:
"Over fifty B-rank Espers, how could they all die without a sound?!"
Just then, a silver figure descended from the sky!
Xia Bingli was like a Grim Reaper descended from heaven, the dual blades in her hands flashing with cold light!
She slowly revealed herself, her silver hair like a waterfall, beautiful enough to take one's breath away.
But those eyes were cold as knives.
"It's you!"
The A-Rank Esper's pupils shrank:
"You are the killer who killed my men!"
Xia Bingli tilted her head, her stunning face expressionless.
Without any superfluous words, her figure instantly disappeared into the shadows!
S-rank Shadow Assassin Superpower fully activated!
All the shadows in the camp became her weapons!
"Careful! She can turn invisible!"
The A-Rank Esper shouted, simultaneously releasing his Metal-type Superpower.
Countless metal flying blades danced in the air, trying to force out Xia Bingli's position.
But it was useless!
Xia Bingli was like a real ghost, moving freely in the shadows.
Every time she appeared, she would take a life!
Swish!
A B-rank Esper's throat was slit.
Pfft!
Another B-rank Esper's heart was pierced.
Pfft!
A third B-rank Esper's throat was cut by a flying knife.
In just ten seconds, more than half of the dozen people died!
"Damn it!"
The A-Rank Esper attacked wildly, but every time he hit the air.
Xia Bingli's movement technique was too weird, completely unable to predict her attack route!
"Your turn."
A cold voice rang in his ear.
The A-Rank Esper was terrified, turning around frantically to counterattack!
But waiting for him were two sharp daggers!
Clang!
The sound of metal collision rang out.
The A-Rank Esper hurriedly used his metal arm guard to block the attack.
Xia Bingli revealed her figure, like a descended Grim Reaper.
Her stunning appearance looked holy and cold under the moonlight.
"Who exactly are you?!"
The A-Rank Esper was sweating profusely:
"How could Lin Yuan have a monster like you under his command?!"
Xia Bingli's lips curled slightly, that smile was breathtakingly beautiful.
Yet colder than frost.
After speaking, she disappeared into the shadows again.
But this time, the A-Rank Esper was prepared!
Countless metal flying blades spun wildly, covering all the shadow areas around!
The dense attack left no blind spots!
Clang, clang, clang!
The sound of metal collisions was incessant.
But Xia Bingli's figure still moved through it like a ghost!
Occasionally being hit by metal flying blades, it only left shallow scratches on her combat suit.
"Impossible! How can you... under this kind of attack..."
Before the A-Rank Esper could finish speaking, a silver light flashed before his eyes!
Pfft!
A flying knife accurately shot into his heart!
Fresh blood instantly gushed out.
Xia Bingli was indifferent, not answering the opponent.
The A-Rank Esper widened his eyes and slowly fell to the ground.
Until his death, he didn't understand how he lost.
...
In the tent in the center of the camp, Sun Wu heard the movement outside, his face pale.
Although the sound of the battle just now wasn't loud, he could still tell something was wrong.
"Third brother and the others... are dead?"
He picked up the communicator with trembling hands:
"Everyone, gather at the center immediately!"
"There is a strong enemy invading!"
But what responded to him was only dead silence.
In the communicator, there was no reply.
"This... this is impossible..."
Sun Wu's voice was trembling:
"Five hundred people... how is it possible..."
The curtain of the tent was lifted.
Xia Bingli walked in slowly, covered in blood.
Her short silver hair was dyed red by blood, appearing eerie and beautiful under the firelight.
"You are Sun Wu?"
Her voice was still cold.
"You... who are you?!"
Sun Wu retreated frantically:
"Where are my five hundred men?!"
"Dead."
Xia Bingli's answer was concise as a knife.
"One more to go."
"Impossible!"
Sun Wu roared:
"Five hundred Ability Users! How could they be... by you alone..."
Xia Bingli raised her dagger, her movements as elegant as a dance.
She walked directly toward Sun Wu.
With every step she took, the killing intent grew thicker.
"Wait!"
Sun Wu shouted desperately:
"You can't kill me! I am the Guild Leader of the Evolver Guild!"
"If you kill me, the Jiangcheng Alliance won't let you off!"
Xia Bingli stopped, tilted her head and thought for a moment:
"Master said to keep a live one..."
"Yes! Keep a live one!"
Sun Wu said as if grabbing a life-saving straw:
"I can be a prisoner! I have value!"
Xia Bingli nodded slightly.
Just as Sun Wu was about to relax, he felt pain in both legs!
Swish, swish!
Two flying knives accurately shot into his knees!
"Ahhhh!!!"
Sun Wu let out a miserable scream, falling to the ground and rolling.
"A live one, doesn't need to be intact."
Xia Bingli said expressionlessly.
After speaking, she turned and left the tent.
In the center of the camp, there were still some fish that slipped through the net hiding.
According to Lin Yuan's order, half of them had to be kept alive.
That would be two hundred and fifty.
Now there was only Sun Wu, still two hundred and forty-nine short.
...
An hour later.
The camp was completely quiet.
Xia Bingli stood in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, her short silver hair dyed red by blood.
Two hundred and fifty corpses lay around, blood flowing like a river.
The remaining two hundred and fifty people had their limbs broken by her and were piled in the center of the camp.
Everyone was groaning in pain, but no one dared to scream loudly.
Because they had all witnessed the terror of this woman.
That kind of killing technique was simply not something a human could do!
Xia Bingli looked at her "work", her eyes still cold as knives.
For this kind of scene.
For her, it was just a daily routine!
And these five hundred people...
Were just paint on her canvas.
She turned and left the camp, walking toward the Shelter.
Leaving behind a ground full of blood and corpses.
And two hundred and fifty trembling survivors.
