"----"
Malice approached and the silence grew thicker.
In the pitch-black forest path, the man gradually approached at a steady pace.
Until he entered Fang Li's line of sight.
He was quite a tall man. His body was strong and solid like steel and his entire being was blurred as if covered in darkness.
Like a black shadow, his face was stern as a rock but expressionless. Below his neck, he wore only a cloak that covered his entire body. His form was deeper than the surrounding darkness.
His aura was denser than the surrounding silence.
In the pitch-black world, all Fang Li could see clearly were the man's eyes.
They were eyes devoid of emotion, only rational, like a weapon or a machine, with a chilling coldness.
There was absolutely no mercy or love for life in those eyes.
Undoubtedly, this was a sinner who truly regarded human life as insignificant.
Even as Fang Li approached the man, it seemed as if the man completely ignored Fang Li and only looked in the direction of the Tohno family's Western-style mansion, and it looked as if he was on his way to a meeting.
Seeing this, Fang Li also remained silent, calmly approaching.
The distance between them was steadily closing.
Until they met.
Without any hesitation.
Fang Li ignored the man and continued to walk forward and the man also ignored Fang Li and gradually moved away.
They passed each other like strangers on the side of the road.
And so, they moved further and further away from each other.
Unfortunately, these two passing strangers were different,
All around them, the wild beasts that had gradually invaded the Tohno family's estate suddenly stirred.
It was as if they wanted to gobble up the prey they had carefully surrounded in order to satisfy their hunger, various types of wild beasts silently charged in Fang Li's direction.
Among them were black dogs the size of wild wolves.
Among them, there were cheetahs as robust as lions.
Among them, there were boars as bulky as brown bears.
Among them, there were falcons as fierce as black hawks.
These ferocious beasts either jumped out from all directions of the forest or charged down from the pitch-black night sky without making a sound.
Like rushing shadows, they instantly enveloped Fang Li, who was slowly moving forward and completely covered him.
"Qiāng----!"
At that moment, the deep silence that pervaded the entire world was finally broken.
Broken by the dancing blade lights and shadows.
Countless cold blade lights seemed to appear out of nowhere, suddenly illuminating the center of the surrounding ferocious beasts that had converged, swirling in all directions like a storm.
The dance lasted only a second.
One second later, the blade lights and sword shadows disappeared without a trace.
As for the group of ferocious beasts that had covered Fang Li, the only human left in this room, and were pouncing on their prey as if to devour him, they froze in place.
"Pū Chī-- Pū Chī-- Pū Chī-- Pū Chī--!"
The sound of bodies being severed echoed belatedly in the area.
There was no reign of terror.
No dismembered limbs.
Like a dissipating darkness, each wild beast was split in half on the spot, as if sliced by a single blow, turning into shadows that gradually dissipated.
Only the young man stood in place, holding the Moonlight Dagger as if he had just done something inconspicuous, turning his deadly weapon in his hand and finally looking forward.
There, the man who had completely ignored Fang Li had also stopped at some point, put his hands in his coat pockets, and slowly turned around to face Fang Li.
His rock-hard face remained expressionless.
But the one-eyed gaze began to exude a killing intent.
Then the man spoke.
"Are you in the way?"
That was not a question.
There were no doubts.
It was just a simple confirmation.
Fang Li simply replied in a low tone.
"Sorry, the establishment is closed. If you wish to visit, please come back tomorrow to make an appointment."
His words were like chasing away an impolite guest.
Obviously, the man didn't care about Fang Li at all, and his attitude was similar to someone who had discovered an obstacle on the road while walking.
Of course, Fang Li reciprocated that with indifference, showing the man complete contempt and mockery.
The man fell silent.
Only his gaze was filled with dark emotions.
"---- Die."
Those were the words that announced the outcome.
The next moment, the man's coat suddenly unfolded as if by an invisible wind.
Under his coat, there was nothing but a shapeless mass of darkness.
There was nothing human about it.
But within that darkness, berserk ferocious beasts emerged.
These beasts were pitch-black all over, a huge tiger the size of an elephant burst out of the darkness, its powerful limbs crashing down on the ground, instantly shattering the stone pavement of the forest path.
Breaking through the atmospheric boundaries with a roaring wind, it surged in Fang Li's direction.
"Hō----!"
The belated roar shook the air.
Under the attack of the gigantic and extremely fast wild tiger, Fang Li looked like a child, staring at the approaching huge tiger with disappointment.
"It's not a Demon Beast, just a pure wild beast, and only one?"
"Looks like I really underestimated it."
As he spoke, Fang Li made a move.
"Pēng----!"
With a sound like an explosion, Fang Li shot out violently, hitting the charging giant tiger with astonishing speed.
"Such mediocrity, not even worth the effort to cut."
With these words, Fang Li's foot carried a terrifying force as he unleashed an extremely fast kick towards the tiger's ferocious jaws, which were now stained with the smell of blood.
"Pēng----!"
Amidst a choking sound, the powerful kick landed heavily on the tiger's skull, causing a gust of wind to rise.
The tremendous force directly exploded the giant tiger's head.
"----?!"
The man dressed in pitch-black widened his pupils.
His icy and merciless eyes were filled with astonishment.
At that moment, Fang Li had already rushed forward, accompanied by the disrupted airwaves, and landed in front of the man.
The expression in the man's eyes was filled with cold.
"Qiāng----!"
Blade light burst forth like shimmering meteors and dazzling moon shadows.
A deadly slash tore through the air and landed cleanly on the man's towering body.
"Pū Chī----!"
With a ripping sound like silk being torn, fragments of the black cloak flew into the sky.
