The deaths of Lilong and the entire Ironblood Squad poured cold water over the command centers of the two major regions.

"Billy the Kid! This guy's strength is even more terrifying than before!" Li Tianyang said in a deep voice.

However, from the intelligence transmitted by Lilong before his death, they couldn't even obtain much useful information.

Situ Xin felt somewhat frustrated in his heart. An investigation team captain had died just like that.

Moreover, he was instantly killed by the opponent!

He looked at Li Tianyang. "Minister Li, who is this person?"

Li Tianyang replied, "The second-in-command of Hell's Lock, whose combat power is second only to the Lord of the Ocean."

"We've had several encounters with Hell's Lock at sea and have never gained any advantage against Billy the Kid."

He walked over and said to the technician, "Slow down the video transmitted by Lilong before his death! I want to see exactly how he made his move."

The technician immediately began analyzing that segment of video.

Eight times, sixteen times, thirty-two times.

Only when slowed down by over a thousand times did they vaguely see Billy the Kid's movements.

He didn't do anything particularly special.

He simply placed his hands on his revolvers, then pulled the triggers six times in succession.

After that, he withdrew his hands.

There were no fancy maneuvers at all; it was just that his speed of execution was too fast.

After watching it, Situ Xin fell into a prolonged silence.

If someone encountered such an opponent unprepared, who could possibly dodge his bullets?

The first person that came to his mind was Zhang Yi.

Probably only Zhang Yi's defensive capability that almost ignored physical attacks could withstand it.

He looked at Li Tianyang, a faint, elusive smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

"Minister Li, facing such a powerful opponent, our Jiangnan Region's strength is too low, I'm afraid we cannot withstand him. Now we've even sacrificed an entire investigation team."

"I wonder if you have any methods to deal with such a formidable enemy?"

Li Tianyang glanced coldly at Situ Xin, snorted disdainfully, and proudly clasped his hands behind his back.

"The Colombian Navy has their experts, but our East Sea Region also has strong individuals not inferior to theirs!"

"It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious!"

Situ Xin didn't express agreement or disagreement, but he began to feel somewhat worried inside.

If more than two captain-level superhumans were sacrificed during this operation, it would be a cost difficult for them to bear.

"Since things have come to this, we should quickly inform everyone about Billy the Kid's abilities. Let them take precautions early!"

Li Tianyang nodded. He naturally understood this point clearly.

However, facing that kind of simple yet formidable ability, even taking precautions might not necessarily be useful.

They could only routinely notify everyone and let them figure out how to deal with it when encountering Billy the Kid.

When Zhang Yi received the footage, he pondered for a moment.

In the end, he just said lightly, "I'm not going to compete with them for that so-called Divine Source anyway. It's irrelevant."

"But this guy... he looks like he'd be quite delicious."

Two days after landing on Star Island, captain-level figures finally began to die.

Zhang Yi killed Hermit Boone.

Yasin Canero killed Lilong.

This also made everyone on the island begin to feel an intense sense of crisis.

Top-tier superhumans who were once arrogant and domineering in the outside world could also die so simply here.

This also caused the movement speed of superhuman teams to begin slowing down.

Because advancing too hastily could potentially expose their position, making them targets for others' hunting.

However, some people still strode forward boldly.

For example, Billy the Kid Yasin Canero, Qinglong Xu Xiaolong, and an old acquaintance of Zhang Yi's, Dragon King Li Fengxian.

People from various forces began engaging in both open and covert struggles, hunting and killing each other in this misty forest.

Almost everyone's target was the ultimate Divine Source, except for Zhang Yi.

With a cat and a dog, after killing Boon, he continued to conceal himself in the darkness.

On one hand, to prevent retaliation from the joint forces; on the other hand, to wait for opportunities to continue hunting new prey.

The most ideal situation, of course, would be to ambush others while they were fighting.

However, as everyone began to be more cautious, such opportunities also started to become fewer.

Yet, in this area, there was no absolute safety.

Not long after Zhang Yi concealed himself in the darkness, at the battlefield where he had killed Boon, a huge gray wolf nearly as tall as a person slowly emerged from the toxic miasma.

It came to the spot where Boon had died. The bloodstains on the ground had long been cleaned up by Zhang Yi.

However, scent cannot be completely eliminated.

A gray wolf's sense of smell is extremely sharp.

It carefully sniffed the ground, and soon, more gray wolves emerged from the mist in other directions.

They gathered in this area, not letting go of any suspicious scent.

Behind the gray wolves walked out a middle-aged man holding a massive compound bow, with a robust physique.

He had tough stubble on his chin, and while not particularly tall, his combat suit-covered body gave off a solid, sturdy feeling.

Like the dwarves from myths and legends, possessing immense strength.

After he arrived, the nearby gray wolves automatically made way for him, bowing their heads to him as if showing reverence to a wolf king.

Hunting God Ullr, Vito Baldia placed his hand on the head of a gray wolf.

"Have you memorized that guy's scent?"

The gray wolves quietly gathered together, surrounding Baldia in the center as if paying homage.

They closed their eyes, and from the center of their foreheads, a hazy white mark began to appear.

Like fragmented puzzle pieces, they converged piece by piece onto the compound bow in Baldia's hand.

As the puzzle pieces slowly gathered, they gradually formed a silver-white hexagram that clearly flashed once.

Simultaneously, the same white hexagram lit up in Baldia's eyes.

"He has already been captured by the fate of death!"

After saying this, Baldia raised his compound bow and slowly drew it back with his right hand.

A silver arrow condensed between his fingers, nocked on the bowstring of that compound bow.

Baldia aimed the arrow toward the sky. In his eyes, he saw a white hexagram flashing in the air.

Baldia released his right hand, and the arrow shot toward the sky with a "whoosh!"

At this moment, Zhang Yi had just found a new hiding spot.

It was an inconspicuous apartment building. He brought Hua Hua and Lele, hiding in a room of over a hundred square meters.

Just as he had set up his sniper rifle and was planning to ambush passing superhumans.

Suddenly, a sense of crisis enveloped him.
