God-Level Special Forces Soldier

All of this happened within the shadows that Hidden Needle carried with him. To the outside experts, they only saw Xiao Tian suddenly plunge in, then immediately vanish without a trace, engulfed by the dense mist.

Ghost Face and Celestial Punishment Daoist, along with the Lei Tong brothers, each stood in different positions. Together with a group of elite disciples, they securely protected the unconscious Melinda lying in the center, vigilantly watching every move around them.

In fact, they could have taken this opportunity to escape, because when Xiao Tian entered the shadowy mist of Hidden Needle, Celestial Punishment Daoist and the others simultaneously felt their connection with the Soul-Devouring Spider Silk being cut off.

It could be said that escaping beyond the radius of ten miles was not a problem. Even taking advantage of the current gap to completely sever it was not impossible, but Celestial Punishment Daoist and the others chose not to do so.

In just a few days, after two major battles with Thunder King Salon, facing over a hundred top experts alone, ultimately killing off more than a third, and now relentlessly battling the legendary assassin Hidden Needle without pause.

Everything about this undeniably showed that Xiao Tian’s potential and strength were top-notch. Most importantly, his feud with Saintly Sea Daoist and the fellow disciples had become irreconcilable.

If they didn’t seize this opportunity, the Kunlun Sect people would indeed be too foolish!

...

Hidden Needle couldn’t help but start trembling all over. As his emotions fluctuated, the surrounding dense mist began to churn endlessly, instantly blocking out sight, becoming a place where one couldn’t even see a hand in front of them.

”Du’Er!”

In the Divine Sense Realm, the little girl furrowed her delicate eyebrows tightly, her pen dancing across the paper nonstop. Suddenly hearing this shouted command, she was almost startled enough to throw the pen away.

”Don’t rush me, I’ll soon be able to calculate the components of this mist!” The little girl casually responded to Xiao Tian while quickly immersing herself in research after the brief shock.

”It’s useless. Even if you can figure it out, it might not be cracked in a short time.” Xiao Tian shook his head with a sigh, ”Even if you find a way to break it, we won’t be able to find the materials needed.”

The little girl was momentarily stunned, then realized that Xiao Tian’s words were not without reason. Indeed, she felt anxious because she couldn’t help, so she hurried to do what she could, thinking she should contribute whatever she could.

There was another thing!

The little girl suddenly realized that Xiao Tian had just called her... Du’Er?! Instead of the previous series of unpleasant nicknames.

Thinking of this, the little girl blushed and couldn’t help but reveal a sweet smile.

”Listen to me, I will fully focus on sending Bingxuan out next. At that time, you will protect her body, ensuring she is not harmed during the process!”

Xiao Tian’s rapid speech and the seriousness in his tone made the little girl’s face turn solemn, then somewhat regretfully, she tapped her little head, silently cursing herself for briefly letting her mind wander.

”What about you?” the little girl couldn’t help but ask, her voice full of worry.

”You don’t need to worry about me. As you just saw, I’ve already begun to grasp how to use the pendant’s power. Plus, Ghost Face just told me the operation way of the Five Elements Crystal, handling it for a while shouldn’t be a problem!”

Though Xiao Tian spoke with great confidence, the little girl was still a little uneasy, ”But what if...”

”Enough, there are no ’what ifs’. Get ready, I am starting now!” Xiao Tian said, then cradled Lin Bingxuan’s delicate body in his arms and unleashed the True Qi he had accumulated, instantly dispelling the surrounding dense mist.

Taking advantage of this brief gap, Xiao Tian relentlessly extracted more True Qi and, using all his strength, sent Lin Bingxuan out.

In mid-air, protective energy from Duoduo instantly enveloped Lin Bingxuan’s body. When it touched the outer layer of the mist, a crisp ”snap” sounded, and she safely shot out.

After the mist of Hidden Needle was crashed open, it began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Before it was fully restored, the girl’s voice reached Xiao Tian’s mind.

”Be extremely careful, both my master and I are waiting for your return!”

With these words, the connection to the outside was instantly cut off, and the mental link within the Divine Sense Realm became ineffective.

Xiao Tian smiled wryly, ”Why does this sound like a farewell of life and death?”

Once again enveloped by the mist, Xiao Tian raised his hand to wave in front of his eyes, finding that visibility was back to zero.

While following the operational methods given by Ghost Face, he used the reverse Dantian method to slowly channel the energy of the Five Elements Crystal into his body, gradually healing his injuries.

On the other hand, Xiao Tian took out a piece of red cloth from his pocket and blindfolded himself. Since he couldn’t see anything with open eyes, he might as well fight without using his eyes.

After tying a knot behind his head, he further cut off his perception and took the obvious stance of fighting blind.

Similar training had been done by Xiao Tian before, for instance, dealing with twists and turns in a maze, requiring an accurate return to the distant starting point after being placed in a spot.

Another example was being blindfolded, then sitting in a car that randomly drove to locations, with the speed varying and occasionally stopping.

The final requirement was to accurately determine the distance traveled, the time spent, and the route taken after boarding, without any reference objects.

Among the numerous distracting options and countless crossroads in the routes, the training methods were brutal, but even so, Xiao Tian always managed to complete them successfully.

Unless it involved taking a helicopter blindfolded and accurately determining the flight path, all land-based blind training was effortless for him.

Of course, blindfolded judgment of flight paths required special abilities, which was something none of the many talents could achieve during training at that time.

And Xiao Tian’s remarkable memory was inextricably linked to such training!

...

That being said, blindfolded fighting while cutting off perception was vastly different from previous training, with a significant distinction in the margin of error and mindset.

The training mindset was purely tense, focusing on speed for completion.

Within the stipulated time, every second and every minute counted, and not a moment could be relaxed. However, basic safety was assured, with no worry of losing life over a mistake.

At this moment, Xiao Tian wasn’t just blindfolded, he also cut off perception, not out of foolish bravado to appear invincible.

According to his perception, it seemed the dense mist around was filled with Hidden Needle’s presence, as if he had shattered into fragments, blending into the mist.

Even with perception at its limit, Xiao Tian could only eliminate certain distractions, staying alert in the pitch-darkness.
