The sentry on the watchtower never expected that a person would instantly float in front of him like a ghost. He was stunned and was half a beat slow to sense.
Ye Li, whose movements were as agile as lightning, simply stretched out his hand and poked the sentry's heart with his fingertips.
The sentry felt a pain in his chest, and a force like a needle pierced through his sternum and directly into his heart.
He didn't even utter a cry of pain. Everything went black before his eyes, and he lost consciousness and stopped breathing.
The force released by Ye Li's finger was like a steel drill, piercing into the sentry's heart and killing him instantly.
Without waiting for the sentry's body to fall to the ground, Ye Li squatted down, reached out and supported the sentry's body, allowing him to continue standing on the tower.
Ye Li casually took out a bamboo pole from his Qiankun bag and used it to prop up the sentry's body, barely keeping him standing.
In the dark night, even with the help of a faint light, it is difficult for people standing far away to see the situation here.
As long as the sentry didn't appear to have fallen, no one would notice that he was dead.
After killing the sentinel and putting his body in a standing position, Ye Li prepared to get off the tower and leave.
Looking at the ladder next to him, Ye Li squatted and walked over.
After looking around and finding that no one was paying attention to this side, he jumped up and slid down the ladder to the ground. Then, without stopping, he dodged and hid in the base of the wall next to him.
A shadow just covered Ye Li, making it difficult for people far away to detect his presence.
After looking around, he did as Wells had said at the beginning and moved towards the place with the least sentries.
Before approaching other outposts, Ye Li also encountered several soldiers patrolling the stronghold. Naturally, the opponent fell down as soon as they met, without even a chance to resist.
After all, it is impossible for all the sentinels here to be masters at the fetal stage. The Spiritual Mist stage and the Spiritual Sea stage are already the highest.
These people were like babies in front of Ye Li. They had no ability to resist and couldn't even call for help. They died as soon as they met.
Ye Li, who had experienced a lot of hardships, was no longer the little boy he used to be. He was ruthless on the battlefield. All the patrol members he encountered were killed and their bodies were dragged into the shadows nearby.
After quickly taking care of the nearby patrol members, Ye Li swiftly cleared out the surrounding sentries. Now, except for a group of sentry towers that were close to the southeast corner of the stronghold, all other sentries had been eliminated by him.
The already very quiet night suddenly became even more dead silent.
After taking a look at the sentry tower in the southeast corner, Ye Li knew that he still had to go there and deal with the enemy. Otherwise, even if their team of several hundred people moved quietly, they would not be able to avoid the enemy's eyes.
Ye Li kept shuttling through the shadows in the stronghold camp and soon arrived near the southeast corner. The defense here was indeed much stricter than other places.
The number of patrol teams has also increased from two people to three people.
It is not an easy task to kill three people at the same time. Even if Ye Li kills one person with one punch, he can only punch two at the same time at most, and the remaining one will always have time to shout out.
After observing for a while, Ye Li knew that he could only try using the soul-walking talisman.
Although the area of his sea of consciousness has been reduced a lot, the quality of his soul power has also been greatly improved. The soul spells he released at this time are incredibly powerful.
Of course, with his current total soul power, the Soul-Exploding Talisman can only be released once at most, but the previous talismans such as the Soul-Piercing Needle and the Crow-Shocking Talisman can be used several times.
Although the power of these talismans is not great, it is greatly enhanced after Ye Li's spiritual power becomes stronger.
The sentinels are relatively weak and have little resistance to soul-walking spells. It seems that it would be very appropriate for Ye Li to use these basic soul-walking spells now.
Following the shadows, Ye Li quickly flashed to the side of a group of patrol members and pounced directly on them.
He moved quickly, and the two leading men were killed without any resistance. The man at the back was about to ask for help the moment he saw his companion being attacked.
However, before he could utter a single word, a stream of gray mist pierced into his head like thousands of fine needles.
Because Ye Li's spiritual power became stronger, the soul-piercing needle was strengthened several times and shattered the sentinel's soul into pieces in an instant.
The sentry fell down without even a groan of pain, which was considered an immediate death. This result surprised Ye Li a little, after all, his soul-piercing needles usually only caused people to feel severe pain, thus reducing their control over the body and making it impossible to make offensive or defensive moves.
This is the first time I've encountered someone's soul being shattered directly like this.
After a moment of hesitation, Ye Li reacted and quickly dragged the three people who had fallen to the ground into the shadows nearby and hid them, while he continued to move towards the other patrol teams.
After the first experience, it was very easy for him to clear the patrols on the ground.
Soon, Ye Li cleared out all the patrol teams on the ground, and the only ones left were the sentries on the watchtower.
Standing below, Ye Li took a peek at the sentry tower. There was a sentry tower on his left hand side, and the location of this tower seemed a bit remote.
After quickly confirming his idea, Ye Li once again slipped towards the top of the sentry tower like a gecko.
This time Ye Li's movements were lighter and slower. As the saying goes, a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. Although he had already removed most of the guards in the base, the remaining people were the most difficult part of this mission.
Under the cover of night, Ye Li finally leaped into a sentry post again and launched the same attack as before, killing the sentry in one move.
After taking down this outpost, there are only three other outposts left around. The people in these outposts are the last defense force in this stronghold.
Wesley and others outside the base were nervously worrying about Ye Li while observing the movements on the opposite side.
When Ye Li attacked the patrolling sentries in the stronghold, they could not see him, but when Ye Li began to climb the watchtower and attack the sentries inside the tower, these people could see him clearly.
They saw Ye Li climbing up the sentry towers one by one, and now there were only the last three sentry towers left.
Knowing that the time for attack was approaching, Wesley immediately ordered everyone to be ready to go at any time.
