Chapter 216: Time To Kill
As time ticked by, the banquet gradually moved from its climax to its end. The noise inside grew significantly louder, a clear sign of the increased drinking.
No, wait!
A thought struck Tang San. If Mei Gongzi were merely gathering information or seeking something within this mansion, she wouldn't lurk in one spot. She would be moving around more within the mansion, which shouldn't take this long!
It's been more than an hour, but she hasn't moved at all. Could it be that her target is actually...
Just then, the main doors of the mansion swung open. Amidst the noise, a group of somewhat staggering individuals emerged.
Leading them was a Titan Bear towering over his other guests at over six meters tall. It was covered in dark golden fur, unashamedly displaying its intense aura and vitality.
Accompanying it were several other Titan Bears, noticeably weaker in aura.
Other demons were also present. Two fox demons stood out with large tails, one red and the other pale blue, indicating their distinct fox demon lineages. Both were beautiful and had seductive demeanors. They accompanied the strongest Titan Bear, chatting and laughing.
It was evident that the day's banquet had greatly pleased these demons.
The leading Titan Bear laughed heartily, "If not for tomorrow's affairs, we could drink all night. Let's meet another day, after I'm done handling important matters. I dare not keep you two little foxes today. Otherwise, heh heh heh..."
The other demons laughed along. Despite drinking quite a bit, it was clear that the leading Titan Bear remained sober, and it escorted the other demons to the gate before turning back.
The other Titan Bears accompanying him also bid their farewells and dispersed toward the deeper parts of the mansion.
The leading Titan Bear let out a long breath, stretched its back, and headed toward the main house.
Tang San felt a sudden chill run down his spine at that moment. His spiritual power instantly concentrated as he intently watched the Titan Bear.
Streaks of silver light appeared in the air at the speed of lightning. As the Titan Bear entered the main house, those silver lights simply showed up behind it, out of thin air.
The appearance of the silver lights was so sudden—without any visible origin or trajectory, merely a flash of silver—that the Titan Bear's robust body just froze.
Without hesitation, the figure kicked away from the demon's back and soared away.
With its throat and spine severed, the Titan Bear struggled no more, collapsing to the ground.
The half-roar it had earlier managed to emit alerted the other Titan Bears within the mansion. When the figure emerged from the main building, more than a dozen Titan Bears, none weak in cultivation, rushed toward the attacker. All of them shimmered with a dark golden light as they activated their Titan Shields and pounced at the attacker.
The attacker did not seek battle but leaped up, heading straight to the rooftop of the main building. Instead of using the silver flashing ability again, it fled swiftly.
A piercing roar resounded through the entire mansion the next moment. They had discovered that their leader was lying on the ground dead.
However, Titan Bears were not known for their speed. They couldn't catch up with the fleeing figure, which maneuvered from rooftop to rooftop and quickly disappeared into the night.
From the moment of attack to the end of the fight, it had only taken a couple of seconds. The entire process had been swift and smooth.
***
On the outskirts of Kali City.
The figure, shrouded in black, dove into a forest before stopping. Just as they were about to remove the hood covering their head, they suddenly seemed to sense something and turned around abruptly.
Not far behind the attacker, another figure, also clad in black but with a mask on the face, stood there, silently watching.
"You?" The attacker’s hand, which had been pulling at the hood, stiffened instantly. But the partially removed hood revealed strands of white hair.
The next instant, the attacker sprang up and charged at the person who had suddenly appeared.
"Don’t attack, listen to me."
Obviously, the masked figure was Tang San... or rather, Asura. A quick Leopard Flash transported him twenty meters away, allowing him to evade the lunge.
The attacker didn't pursue but stared at him intensely, eyes not concealing the murderous intent within.
"You were reckless; your plan was not meticulous enough. How could you leave crucial evidence in the hands of the enemy?" Tang San said, opening his palms to reveal several black crossbow bolts.
