Crimson blood dripped continuously, carrying a faint fishy smell, onto the white silk threads, appearing somewhat glaring.
Hai Yun blankly lowered her head, looking at the spear that had pierced through her abdomen, somewhat unable to believe that she would be defeated so quickly, so easily.
She struggled to break free from the spear, but only made the pain of the wound more intense.
No matter which direction she moved, whether forward, backward, left, or right, she could not break free without widening the wound.
More and more silk threads fell on her, completely depriving her of the possibility of resistance.
As if she had seen through something, her originally somewhat ferocious face became calm, "When did it start? When did you start plotting against me?"
She looked at "Adam," asking with a hint of doubt.
"From the beginning."
Hearing such an answer, Hai Yun's face revealed a look of astonishment, and she murmured, "No wonder... no wonder..."
Her loss was not unjust, the battle had already begun half a year ago.
Amon painstakingly locked onto the target, judged her strength, formulated a plan, and spent half a year just for this moment before his eyes.
A blast of air bullets hit the location of Hai Yun's wound, and then exploded from within her body.
Walter withdrew the silk threads, lest they steal the final blow.
Amon condensed a dagger and threw it from afar, piercing Hai Yun's head.
Specks of sea-blue light emerged from the mermaid's corpse, and finally gathered together, forming a pitch-black soul ring.
As if sensing something, the Sea Witch, who was on her way, suddenly burst out with an even more astonishing aura, tears streaming from her eyes, and immediately, this sadness was transformed into uncontrollable anger and killing intent.
"Hai Yun!"
Looking at that pitch-black soul ring that emitted astonishing energy fluctuations, Amon did not hesitate and immediately summoned his martial soul.
A bug with twelve rings and starry sky-like colors quickly swam in his palm. Following the connection in the dark, soul power guided the soul ring, allowing it to approach the martial soul.
The soul ring overlapped with a certain segment of the Worm of Time, and then, surging energy and endless resentment suddenly poured into Amon's body.
Amon's eyes went dark, and his consciousness came to a pitch-black space. He instantly understood that this was his soul space.
Hai Yun's soul appeared opposite him, with a cold smile on her face:
"Hey, didn't expect this, did you? Our mermaid clan has a unique ability. If someone hunts us as soul beasts and absorbs our soul rings, then our souls can take the opportunity to enter that person's body."
Amon sized her up for a moment, and the corners of his mouth outlined a smile:
"But your soul doesn't seem to be complete... If you really had the mass of a Soul Douluo, you might be able to pose some threat to me. As you are now, you're at most just a larger mass of resentment."
Hai Yun was about to launch an attack, but her movements suddenly froze, and endless whispers rang out, some solemn and vast, some dense and mad. In such whispers, her body convulsed uncontrollably.
Eyeballs, teeth, tongue, arms, calves, every part of her body seemed to be endowed with its own consciousness.
She looked in horror at this pitch-black space. Above, there seemed to be some looming behemoth, and below, endless gray mist surged.
In that void, one could vaguely see slippery tentacles with mysterious patterns wriggling.
With just one glance, her eyeballs were contaminated and assimilated, turning into something like octopus tentacles, frantically waving in her eye sockets.
The tentacle that had turned from an eyeball stretched into her other eye socket, reaching directly into her brain, and then constantly stirred.
"Ah..." Hai Yun's spirit body screamed.
Her arms began to grow tumors, and her body swelled into a disgusting mass of flesh.
Finally, the mass of flesh suddenly exploded, decomposed and assimilated by the gray mist, becoming part of the gray mist.
Amon opened his eyes, adjusted his monocle, and was about to say something, but then fell silent, looking at the distant sky.
An astonishing soul power fluctuation was rapidly approaching. The terrifying pressure that filled the sky gave people a feeling of soul trembling. Without much thought, this must be Hai Yun's sister, the Sea Witch.
"This is troublesome. How are you now? Can you move?" Walter asked.
Amon nodded. "Let's retreat. Fighting her here is not a wise move. If we drag it out for too long, we might have to face that 'Sea God Douluo,' and that would truly be a dead end."
Walter immediately grabbed Amon's shoulder and used silk threads to quickly slide towards the sea.
His sixth soul ring lit up, and the silk threads gathered to form a clone that looked exactly like him.
Walter's clone wiped his face and adjusted his appearance, turning into a robust middle-aged man who looked very heroic.
If Tang San were here, he would probably recognize him at a glance as his father. Only he looked younger, and he didn't have that decadent temperament, appearing sharp and imposing.
Walter's silk threads connected to the clone after winding around seven or eight times. Even if the Sea Witch could see the tiny lines, she couldn't determine the location of Walter's main body through the direction of the lines.
Walter brought Amon to the seaside, threw out the soul tool prepared for them by "Adam," input soul power, and quickly moved away.
At the moment they sensed the Sea Witch, the stronger Sea Witch naturally sensed them as well, but she didn't chase after the two who were fleeing, but went straight to the deserted island.
One reason was that the speed of the soul tool was very fast. Under Walter's control, it was much faster than the one "Adam" used to escape the mermaid village. Even with her Title Douluo strength, it wouldn't be easy to catch up.
The second reason was that when she arrived above the deserted island, a golden-haired young man was sitting on a chair by the coast, playing with a sea-blue pearl in his hand.
In addition, beside him, a person wearing a black classical robe and a pointed soft hat was sitting cross-legged beside Hai Yun's corpse, with soul power surging on his body, seemingly breaking through.
This was the clone left by Amon, releasing his former soul power "performance," simulating the state of absorbing the soul ring, in order to confuse the Sea Witch.
Although the Sea Witch knew that there might be something fishy about the two who fled, she couldn't leave her sister's body and the "Sea Pearl" alone.
Moreover, the person who seemed to be absorbing the soul ring looked like one of the murderers who killed her sister.
Walter looked at the Amon clone who was "absorbing the soul ring" through the line clone, and then looked at Amon behind him, with a suspicious look in his eyes.
The Amon he was carrying didn't have any soul power fluctuations at all, and he even suspected that he had brought the wrong person!
Amon, sitting in the back seat of the speedboat-type soul tool, pushed the bottom edge of his monocle with his index finger and said with a smile:
"Mr. Walter, there's no need to look so astonished... It's just a clone skill, you can do it too, can't you?"
Walter controlled the speedboat towards Hanhai City while turning his head to look at Amon:
"Is this really your main body? Are you really absorbing the soul ring? If I brought the wrong person, I can go back and save the you on the island, there's still time."
"It's really touching that you can say that, but that's a Title Douluo! But there's no need, this me now is indeed the main body."
Hearing him say that, Walter didn't say anything more, but muttered to himself in his heart:
"How come this guy's skills are so strange, it seems that none of them are properly used for fighting, but are very suitable for engaging in some conspiracies and tricks."
