Just as Li Dai was about to draw her sword, two flying blades flashing with a cold light pierced straight through the bodies of the two men. They froze instantly, unable to move a muscle. Turning their heads to look at the newcomer, their eyes widened in utter shock and disbelief—they died with everlasting regret, without even the slightest room to resist. Those flying blades, as if possessing a mind of their own, pulverized the hearts of both men. Blood gushed from their chests, leaving two huge holes as they plummeted straight down from the gourd and fell into the sea, undoubtedly dying with grievances unredressed.
Li Dai was stunned by the sudden turn of events. Judging from the lethal technique that had taken down the fat and thin men in a single move, the attacker possessed at least the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage; otherwise, how could they have suppressed the two men so completely that they had no room for resistance at all?
Although she could also dispatch them quickly, she could not have eliminated both simultaneously in a single blow.
