None of the guards noticed the group of enemy soldiers streaming into their camp through a hole in the barricade.

In fact, such a possibility had never even occurred to them.

After all, what were the odds of it happening, considering that they had the defensive formation actively protecting the entire camp?

Not to mention the fact that the main forces from both sides were currently engaged in a fierce battle. Even if enemy Origin Core realm martial artists snuck over, they would still have to spend quite some time trying to break through the defensive formation of the camp.

And during the process of trying to overwhelm the defensive formation, it would be impossible for nobody to notice their actions!

Yet unfortunately for them, the one who came over this time could be considered an expert in the art of formations, even more so than most Origin Core realm martial artists.

Ever since returning to Bluenight City, Lu Tianzi had not only been focusing on his cultivation. At the same time, he had not neglected to improve on his other skills either.

The current Lu Tianzi might not be the fastest at setting up formations. But with the help of his Limitless Mirror Eye, he was extremely adept at breaking them down!

Formations were very dependent on the precise positioning of their formation nodes. The difference of even a fraction of a centimetre would completely alter the resulting formation.

After the stone pillar formation node had been moved out of position, albeit only slightly, the defensive formation had completely rescinded. Lu Tianzi had especially taken care to make sure of this point before calling in his companions.

Without the active protection of the defensive formation, the temporary barricades did not stand a chance against someone of Lu Tianzi's calibre.

This opening was exactly what allowed him to silently carve a hole in the barricade and enter within the boundaries of the camp, launching his strike against the two patrolling guards who had come over earlier.

But now that members of the Scarlet Moon Army were streaming in through this very same hole, Lu Tianzi was no longer anywhere to be seen in the area..

Lu Tianzi spread his perception forward, scanning across the relatively empty camp as he made his way forward.

He was not only looking out for enemy guards, but also the enemy recovery tents.

Before starting this operation, they had already been provided intelligence on the estimated location of the recovery tents.

However, intelligence was after all still something unconfirmed.

Lu Tianzi would never fully believe in something uncertain without first taking steps to validate the authenticity of the matter himself.

Even so, he was able to spread out his perception in such an unbridled manner only because he had absolute confidence in his own ability.

At his current level, anyone below the Origin Core realm would never be able to sense his perception sweeping over them!

Coupled with the fact that his presence was concealed by the jade pendant, Lu Tianzi was practically invisible to their senses!

This was the reason why he had decided to separate from the rest of the group, all so that he could make full use of this fact to operate at maximum efficiency.

Two patrol guards ahead turned the corner around a tent, coming face to face with a sword light. Their eyes widened in shock, but that was all that they were able to do within such a tight timeframe.

Slash-!

Blood spurted into the air.

Both of them had their necks severed in that one sword strike!

Lu Tianzi's expression was calm as he flicked the Sword of Ivory Rock, trying to get rid of the fresh blood that stained the metal blade.

These were not the first two guards that he had killed, and they would certainly not be the last.

In his search for the recovery tents, Lu Tianzi had already slain more than four pairs of guards all by himself.

During this process, Lu Tianzi was pleasantly surprised to realise that his Howling Wraith Sword was the perfect technique for this operation. Its illusory aspect almost completely prevented his targets from even reacting to his attack, not to mention alerting their comrades of his presence!

Not just that, but he had even been aiming for those who were at least at the Essence Condensation realm, trying to cripple the enemy defence as much as possible.

After all, his comrades this time were mostly at the Essence Building realm. The more he got rid of, the safer things would be for his group.

Of course, he could not keep doing as he pleased either.

If his actions went beyond a certain threshold, the enemy would certainly grow suspicious. In fact, even if he stopped right now, it was only a matter of time before the enemy realised that they had lost some men.

Time was of the essence!

Now that they had started the operation, it was just a matter of how much damage they could dish out before they were finally forced to retreat.

At this moment, Lu Tianzi suddenly perked up.

He turned around, directing his gaze towards a specific tent.

With his perception piercing straight through the exterior of the tent, Lu Tianzi could clearly make out numerous figures either lying down or seated cross legged in bed.

From the erratic energy fluctuations alone, it could be seen that they were nowhere near their top condition.

A recovery tent!

And there was not just one. Even the many tents behind it were the same.

This was exactly the place that they had been looking for, the target of this operation!

Checking its location against the intelligence report, Lu Tianzi sighed inwardly.

As expected, the intelligence had not been on point.

That was something that he would have to raise up when they returned. But for now, he had to let the rest of his companions know of his discovery.

Using his communication ring, Lu Tianzi quickly relayed his location to the others, who started to rush over as quickly as they could.

Still, the rest of his group were unable to move with as much stealth as Lu Tianzi had.

While they tried their best to conceal their presence, it was inevitable that such a group would be detected.

When Lu Tianzi heard the warning horn sounding out across the camp, he immediately understood that his companions had been found out.

Even so, he did not rush into making his next move.

Instead, Lu Tianzi hid in a corner before spreading out his perception in all directions, trying to figure out the movements within the camp.

At this moment, he could see that the assault party was rushing straight towards the recovery tents, while the defence team was heading over to intercept their advance.

Lu Tianzi was actually quite surprised to see this.

At this rate, the assault party would surely encounter the defence team before they could reach the recovery tents.

It was almost as though the enemy knew for a fact that they were targeting the recovery tents!

The leader of the defence was quite the thinker!

Still, Lu Tianzi might have been surprised, but it did not affect him too much.

After he had gained a clear understanding of the enemy's reaction, Lu Tianzi immediately stepped out of his hiding place.

By now, he had already locked onto his next target, and was rushing forward as quickly as he could.

Before the defence team could intercept his companions, Lu Tianzi was intending to intercept the defence team first!

This was a one person interception plan.

To most people, Lu Tianzi's actions would be seen as nothing short of suicide, a move that would bring about his own death. Yet Lu Tianzi moved forward with unwavering confidence, completely not regarding the defence team in his eyes!

The defence team rushed through the camp with urgency, wanting to get into position before the assault party could do as they wished.

None of them would ever be able to imagine the kind of terror that they were about to face.

And then he struck.

The first thing that those in front noticed was the loud howling of the wind, as though a storm had picked up all of a sudden.

But it was what came next that forced them to turn around and pay attention to their rear ranks.

Slash-! Slash-! Slash-!

A sword and a sabre danced to a beautiful choreography of blood, with the supporting casts quickly falling to the ground like flies.

Those in the direct vicinity despaired as they tried in vain to defend themselves, while the ones further away froze in their steps, watching on in absolute horror.

This..

There was only a single enemy in their midst?

And from the aura emitted, he was only at the Advanced Essence Condensation realm!

Just how was it possible for such a person to be overwhelming everyone with such ease?!

Even though they could not be considered as the crème of the crop, it had to be known that there were still some of them who had reached the Peak Essence Condensation realm.

That was a full boundary above this new enemy, and yet even they succumbed without being able to block a single strike!

Were they dreaming right now?

No, they absolutely were not.

The blood of their companions that dyed the ground red was the proof that they needed.

In that case, they were truly under attack, and by an absolute monster of a martial artist!

"R-Retreat! Retreat and call for backup! The group we were told of was not the only one that has entered the camp!"

"Inform the main force that the camp is under attack!"

The defence team had never been an organised bunch from the start.

To these men who had been left behind by the main force to guard the camp, the fact that enemy forces had entered the camp without their notice had already been enough of a shock.

After all, this meant that the enemy had somehow managed to circumvent the reliable defensive formations protecting the camp!

This alone had caused their wills to waver, and their hearts to be filled with trepidation.

And with Lu Tianzi's appearance, whatever order remaining in them instantly crumbled, resulting in the current situation where everyone was scattering in all directions!

Lu Tianzi smirked in satisfaction upon seeing this.

Things worked out just as he hoped it would.

By scattering this group of enemies, the assault party from the the Scarlet Moon Army would now be able to reach the recovery tents unhindered.

At the same time, his display of absolute strength would give the enemy a certain degree of mental pressure.

Lu Tianzi did not expect the defence team to remain scattered for long, but this mental pressure should at least result in some hesitation and doubt when coordinating the second wave of defence, giving them that much more time to inflict maximum damage to the recovery tents!

This was a plan that was only possible for Lu Tianzi, someone who possessed strength far beyond that of his cultivation level!

And now, it was time for him to rejoin his companions and bring this mission to an end!
