"We're doomed, we're doomed. The New Chu Nation is going to attack the Yu Nation!"

"Stop spreading rumors! He said it himself that it's to celebrate the promotion of our country's new Martial Sage. How did that become associated with war?"

"The person above is the ignorant one. Do you really believe New Chu's Martial Sage is making such a big commotion just to congratulate us? Anyone with some brains knows that this Giant Shark Island banquet is nothing good. Who knows, he might directly set up an ambush on the island!"

"Not to the extent of an ambush. If Martial Sage is really the realm above the first-grade, then New Chu's Martial Sage actions are most likely meant to intimidate and warn our Martial Sage!"

"That's right. It's irrefutable that New Chu's Martial Sage is up to no good. In my opinion, our Martial Sage should simply skip the banquet."

"Tch, what a joke. He's already bluntly telling everyone that if our Martial Sage doesn't attend the banquet, New Chu's Martial Sage will come knocking on our door the next day! No one knows what will happen then! If Martial Sage is the realm above the first-grade, the aftermath of the battle between the Martial Sages alone can cause countless casualties."

"In other words, our Martial Sage must attend the banquet? If not, a battle between Martial Sages will break out?"

"Of course he has to go. If he doesn't, the new Martial Sage Chu will have an excuse to come knocking on our door."

"But if he does, there's an equal chance of a huge battle breaking out. Our Martial Sage is new. In terms of strength and experience, he probably won't be able to compare to New Chu's Martial Sage, right?"

"D*mn the New Chu Nation! Why won't the Xiang Family go to hell?"

"Sigh, things are getting troublesome. New Chu's Martial Sage invited our Martial Sage to a banquet in front of everyone in the country. Regardless of whether our Martial Sage attends or not, this matter has become serious. A war might really be coming."

"Look at what the person above is saying. You sound as if there has been a break in the war for so many years. Can't you see that the Golden Sparrow Mountain Range from a hundred years ago has become the Golden Sparrow Basin now?"

"Um, what kind of technology did this New Chu's Martial Sage use to put his face in the sky? What are the theories involved? Is it optical segmentation refraction, or spatial expansion technology? If it's the former, how did he do the optical segmentation? If it's the latter, how is the stability of space maintained? Are there similar technologies in the New Chu Nation? If it's neither, could it be a newly discovered holographic projection technique?"

"The appraisal is done. The person above has gone crazy!"

…

The Internet was in an uproar.

The Internet cafe was also in an uproar.

At this moment, everyone in the Yu Nation was involved in this sensational event.

Due to the extension of the Internet, the other countries in the Eastern Continent that had established ties with the Yu Nation also learned the news online and created a great stir.

"Above first-grade, suspected to be Martial Sage!"

"New Chu's Martial Sage harbors ill intentions. What is his motive in holding a banquet for the Yu Nation's new Martial Sage?"

"Who is the old Martial Sage of the Yu Nation? And who is the new Martial Sage?"

"Shocking! An all-out war is about to break out between the New Chu Nation and the Yu Nation!"

"The legend of the Martial Sages that you don't know!"

"Let's find out what a Martial Sage is! And why is a Martial Sage described as Kingdom Defending?"

…

All kinds of headlines appeared on the Internet of the other countries in the Eastern Continent.

The more it spread, the more ridiculous it became. Even news like "Yu Nation has been destroyed by New Chu Nation" was released.

In the Internet cafe, Su Jingxing opened dozens of web pages and quickly browsed through the information.

At the end, he realized that no one mentioned the words "void world", "monster", "disaster". Even if they did appear, they quickly disappeared.

After some thought, he realized that the officials had stepped into regulate comments.

Since the words "Martial Sage" and "Kingdom Defending Martial Sage" had been exposed and could not be erased, they would guide the discussion towards conflict between the two nations.

The citizens of the Yu Nation knew of the New Chu Nation's wild ambitions. They were especially hostile towards the upper echelons of the New Chu Nation, especially the imperial family, the Xiang Family.

The commotion caused by New Chu's Martial Sage immediately increased the hatred.

Anyone with normal intelligence could tell that New Chu's Martial Sage was up to no good.

Filled with a common hatred, many people even logged into recruitment websites to join the army and fight the New Chu Nation.

On Earth Star, where martial arts flourished, the people were never afraid of war.

Not to mention that the Yu Nation was powerful and had many experts. They had always been ranked in the top three of the Eastern Continent.

War?

Who fears who?!

Su Jingxing heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. At the same time, his heart tensed up.

Although the entire country was shocked, it did not cause a widespread panic. Instead, it united the people.

All in all, the situation was still good. Public opinion was under official control.

Apart from some conspirators and ambitious people with ulterior motives, most people were on the side of the Yu Nation's new Martial Sage.

As the person involved, Su Jingxing felt heavy pressure coming at him.

Su Jingxing had to attend New Chu's Martial Sage banquet.

If he didn't, he would have lost before the fight began, not to mention that New Chu's Martial Sage would come knocking on his door the next day.

If New Chu's Martial Sage really came knocking on their door and made a move, it would only bring great trouble to the Yu Nation.

Even if they were to get physical, they could only do so at sea.

New Chu's Martial Sage also knew this, so the banquet was held on Giant Shark Island.

This was because he knew very well that provocation was provocation. If he forced Su Jingxing into a corner and his Essence Soul entered the New Chu Nation to cause trouble, it would also cause large-scale casualties.

Basically, the Kingdom Defending Martial Sages of the various nations would not rashly enter the territories of other nations.

The function of the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal would only be effective in the air above their native territory.

At this point, taking action was unavoidable.

What Su Jingxing had to consider was how to remain undefeated under the pressure of New Chu's Martial Sage.

He could not win nor could he lose.

Of course, there was a high chance that he wouldn't win either.

To Su Jingxing, a draw was his greatest victory!

…

Yu Nation's capital.

Cabinet.

The members rushed over and gathered in the conference hall.

Thump thump!

The Prime Minister knocked on the table and said calmly, "Share your views, everyone. How should we handle this?"

"I just want to know about the old Martial Sage," the Supreme Marshal of the military replied indifferently. "New Chu's Martial Sage said that we have a new Martial Sage. What about the old Martial Sage?"

"Dead, I guess."

A Deputy Prime Minister said calmly, "When the self-combustion case happened last time, I already suspected that the old Martial Sage was unwell. When the wind disaster broke out, I was even more certain that something had happened to him. As expected, the two disasters that were eventually resolved thanks to the new Martial Sage!"

"That's right. There's a 99% chance that the old Martial Sage is already dead. The new Martial Sage will replace him and become the new protector of the Yu Nation. That's why the New Chu's Martial Sage came knocking on our door."

"In that case, we… no longer need to be wary of the Xia Family?"

"Needless to say, regardless of whether the old Martial Sage is dead or not, the Xia Family's good days are over!"

"Hehe…"

Excitement filled the conference hall.

"Cough…"

The Prime Minister held back his laughter and coughed lightly. He said calmly, "Let's put everything else aside for now. What we need to discuss now is what we need to do since New Chu's Martial Sage Chu has invited our new Martial Sage to a banquet."

"That's simple. Just send troops to the borders!"

In a mountain in the suburbs outside the capital.

The Xia Family's ancestral residence.

In a spacious and dark underground chamber in a tall building in the southeastern corner.

"Pu!"

A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out from the mouth of a white-haired old man.

The white-haired old man fell backward and lay on the ground. His entire body was trembling and the whites of his eyes were showing.

"Quick, save the Third Elder."

Outside the secret chamber, a group of people who had heard the commotion opened the stone doors under the command of a tall, burly middle-aged man. Two people rushed in and carried the white-haired old man who was almost unconscious out of the secret chamber. They placed him on a stone table in the corner and fed him pills and water.

"Ahem!"

After a while, a trace of color returned to the white-haired old man's pale face. He leaned against the wall and slowly inhaled and exhaled.

"Third Elder, how is it? Did you manage to contact the ancestor?"

A thin middle-aged man asked eagerly, "What did the ancestor say? Is that new Martial Sage his subordinate?"

"He must be one of us. Without the ancestor, who in the Yu Nation can become a Martial Sage?"

"That's right. All these years, all those with potential who have hopes of becoming Martial Sages have received the Xia Family's favor."

"Third Elder, did the ancestor order that new Martial Sage to come to the Xia Family to keep watch for us and help us dispel the spying of others?"

"…"

A group of people surrounded the white-haired old man and spoke one after another, shouting loudly.

The white-haired old man calmed his breathing and did not answer. His expression was ugly.

"Shut up, all of you!

Seeing this, the tall, burly middle-aged man shouted angrily and reprimanded, "Shut up! Are you done talking? Is this the time for you to be making a din? If you don't want to hear the ancestor's message at the first moment, get out and wait outside!"

Silence.

After a while, someone muttered in a low voice, "Well we were feeling anxious, weren't we…"

Swish!

The tall, burly middle-aged man turned to look at him with a cold gaze.

The muttering immediately disappeared. The group forced themselves to restrain themselves and remained silent.

"Third Elder, you speak."

The tall, burly middle-aged man retracted his gaze and looked at the white-haired old man.

"The ancestor…"

The white-haired old man took a deep breath and said sadly, "Is dead."

"What do you mean?" The thin middle-aged man was first stunned when he heard this. Then, he widened his eyes and growled, "How could he be dead? He is the Martial Sage. How could he be gone all of a sudden? Huh? Speak, speak! How could the ancestor be dead…"

Thud!

A bright clap sounded.

It was the tall and burly middle-aged man. He swung a slap on the thin middle-aged man. One half of the latter's face swelled and he fell to the ground.

"What's with the shouting!"

The tall and burly middle-aged man with a grim expression swept his fierce gaze across everyone and shouted, "All of you, listen up. No one is allowed to leak this matter! If anyone does, I'll kill him!"

Everyone shuddered and did not dare to make a sound.

"Ahem!"

The white-haired old man coughed and sighed. "It wasn't easy for the ancestor to last until today. Now that he's gone, everyone in the family should behave themselves in the future.

"As for the new Martial Sage, I haven't contacted the ancestor and I can't sense his existence. I wonder if the ancestor had given the new Martial Sage any instructions about us before he left. If he did, that would be for the best. If not…"

"No, no. The ancestor must have left behind his last words and asked the new Martial Sage to take care of us." A voice sounded from the crowd and interrupted anxiously.

"That's right, that's right. We are the descendants of the ancestor. It's impossible that he wouldn't find someone to take care of us!"

"Find the new Martial Sage and tell him to come forward and help us continue to rule in the capital."

"We can give him money, spirit weapons, spirit herbs, women… The new Martial Sage is also a human. It's impossible for him not to like these things."

"However, the new Martial Sage should be busy with New Chu's Martial Sage next. He probably won't have time to care about us…"

"That's fine. Don't we still have seven days? We can just get him to come over these two days. He's just showing his face. How long can it take?"

"That's right, contact the new Martial Sage immediately!"

"Do you have a way to contact him?" The tall and burly middle-aged man interrupted coldly and said expressionlessly, "Do you know who the new Martial Sage is and which prefecture he belongs to?"

Hearing this, the clamoring people shut up again.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, the tall middle-aged man shouted coldly and stopped looking at them. His gaze returned to the white-haired old man and he said softly, "Third Elder, I'll have to trouble you to divine where the new Martial Sage is from and his current location."

"I'll try my best."

The Third Elder exhaled, stood up, walked back into the secret chamber, and closed the stone door.

In the center of the secret chamber, a deduction platform that contained the power of heavenly secrets and divination began to rotate under the control of the white-haired old man, emitting light.

But before long——

"Pu!"

The white-haired old man spat out another mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing to the ground.

This time, before he could catch his next breath, he fainted.

Before his consciousness dissipated, he heard the stone door of the secret chamber open and a few people rushing. He also heard someone shouting that Xia Huankong had injured a member of the Chen Family.

How could he injure someone at a time like this?

Someone from the Chen Family at that?

The white-haired old man was shocked and furious. He wanted to roar, but he had already fainted.

…

Internet cafe.

Su Jingxing's main body suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky above him.

His gaze seemed to penetrate the void.

"Who's spying on me?"

While the Nine Souls Ring blocked the divination, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul could counter-divine and counterattack.

If the other party's mental power was not strong, he could even die on the spot from the retaliation.

Unfortunately, all those who cultivated heavenly secret arts had strong mental power.

Su Jingxing's counterattack would at most damage the other party's mind.

If he wanted to kill his opponent with a counterattack, his soul power had to be several times stronger, and his Essence Soul had to be in the Soul Fixation stage.

Given the current situation, Su Jingxing had to continue working hard.

Putting the secret spying aside, the threat of New Chu's Martial Sage was the most important.

Raising his physical strength to match the level of New Chu's Martial Sage within seven days would be unrealistic.

It was also impossible for the Essence Soul to advance to the ninth class of Void Soul in one go.

His only hope was the Black Flame Caves that Blood Doppelganger was heading to.

The Wei Family's ancestors had clearly stated that there was a huge opportunity in the Black Flame Caves.

The Soul Return Stone needed to forge the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal was also inside.

If I take this opportunity to obtain both the Soul Return Stone and a heaven-defying killing-attribute treasure, will I be able to draw with New Chu's Martial Sage?

…

North of Yu Nation was Hong Nation, and north of Hong Nation was Yue Nation.

At this moment, at the border of Yue Nation.

On the peak of a mountain about 800 meters tall, Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger, which had transformed into human form, looked at a mountain range of hundred-meter-tall peaks shrouded in black and red mist at the end of the vast land ahead. It clenched its fists.

After traveling day and night, it arrived at the Black Flame Caves.

Su Jingxing's main body had checked the Black Flame Caves online. All he knew was that it was one of the infamous perilous lands in the Eastern Continent.

Whether it was ordinary people or martial artists, no one ever came out after entering.

Even experts in the top ranks rarely did.

On the last page of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven secret manual, there was a passage in the records left behind by the Wei Family's ancestors that introduced the Black Flame Caves.

Firstly, one had to pass through the Red Fog Sea to enter the Black Flame Caves.

This fog sea that covered hundreds of kilometers and shrouded the mountain range and filled the sky and ground was actually a terrifying miasma caused by the leakage of the fire poison from the Black Flame Caves.

The protective true energy of ordinary martial artists in the middle ranks would corrode and break apart in less than ten seconds.

The protective true essence of a martial artist in the top ranks was slightly better. It could last for more than ten minutes.

As for the gas masks and protective suits made using technological means,

Su Jingxing had never tried them on before and didn't know what it would be like.

But they would probably only last for a few minutes.

In the introduction left behind by the Wei Family's ancestors, the fire poison of the Black Flame Caves was extremely terrifying and corrosive.

Only a Divine Embryo could last more than an hour.

Although the corrosive power of the miasma caused by the leaked fire poison had decreased, it was still terrifying.

However, be it miasma or fire poison, their effects on the Blood Doppelganger were limited.

The Blood Doppelganger was an energy body with astonishing defense to begin with.

Passing through the fog sea formed by the miasma, the Blood Doppelganger had already left before the corrosion began.

In one breath, it quickly passed through the fog sea and paused before entering one of the pitch-black caves.

Black Flame Caves.

Apart from the fearsome fire poison, the densely packed and winding caves were also one of the sources of its name.

At this moment, in front of Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger, more than ten cave entrances of various sizes appeared on the hundred-meter tall pitch-black mountain wall.

Su Jingxing didn't pay attention to how many entrances there were in the areas on both sides that had disappeared into the fog sea.

In the records left behind by the Wei Family's ancestors, the second stage was how to choose an entrance.

The entrance was related to the extent of danger faced after entering the cave.

If he was unlucky and chose a cave filled with black flames, he wouldn't even have time to escape.

Other than the source of the fire poison and the strange black flames, there were also some human-eating monsters and powerful Mutated Beasts in the caves.

If he was unlucky and bumped into them, he would not be able to escape death either.

Therefore, Su Jingxing controlled the Blood Doppelganger to operate the Six Comets Records to divine which entrance was the least threatening.

After confirming, he entered the cave and continued to divine the approximate location of the Soul Return Stone.

There were too many caves in Black Flame Caves.

At the end of a passageway, there would be five, six, seven, or even a dozen new passageways.

Walking around blindly would only lead to eventually getting lost in the dense caves.

With a general direction, there was no need to be afraid of taking the wrong way.

At the same time, Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger paid attention to any treasures that it might encounter on the way, especially those that could advance a first-grade martial artist to the Transcendent-grade.

A blue liquid with a red glow.

The name was unknown, but he knew that this blue liquid with a red glow contained incredible energy.

Su Jingxing controlled his Blood Doppelganger to avoid the strange black flames and pass through the passageways filled with fire poison to search for the blue liquid with a red glow.

Unfortunately, after moving deeper, walking for about five miles, he still did not see any blue liquid with a red glow.

The location of the Soul Return Stone was still far away in the depths.

In the records left behind by the Wei Family's ancestors, there was a kind of rock monster in the Black Flame Caves. The Blood Doppelganger had not encountered it.

Instead, it encountered three groups of a type of bat that absorbed fire poison.

Every time a group of bats discovered the Blood Doppelganger, they would immediately pounce over.

Su Jingxing controlled the Blood Doppelganger to release its blood energy and blast them apart.

Muffled thuds sounded in the passageway.

All three batches of bats died, but not a single card was extracted.

Clearly, these bats were not Mutated Beasts.

Following the guidance of the heavenly secret arts, the Blood Doppelganger continued deeper.

After walking for another three to four miles, it entered an exceptionally spacious cave.

As soon as the Blood Doppelganger stepped in, Su Jingxing's heart skipped a beat.

Stopping in its tracks, it saw a scaleless black python as thick as a water tank slowly raising its triangular head from a towering stone pillar.

One, two, three…

In the end, eight heads rose into the air and surrounded the black body.

An Eight-Headed Giant Python!

This Eight-Headed Giant Python that exuded a cold and evil aura was definitely a Mutated Beast.

Su Jingxing controlled his Blood Doppelganger to retreat and circle around the cave.

Swoosh!

One of the heads of the Eight-Headed Giant Python suddenly spat out a stream of black gas that headed straight for the Blood Doppelganger.

It was extremely fast. As soon as the Blood Doppelganger moved to dodged, it was struck and pierced through the abdomen.

A scorching aura immediately surged from the wound and rose.

Su Jingxing mobilized a large amount of blood energy to wrap around this small ball of aura and expel it.

Then, he wrapped its fists in blood energy and released it from a distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The air tore apart with a series of explosions.

Since the Eight-Headed Giant Python wanted to die, Su Jingxing would fulfill its wish.

The blood energy fist imprints soared into the air, and its speed also soared to the fastest. One punch after another struck the thick body of the Eight-Headed Giant Python. Its scaleless body was directly penetrated with multiple wounds.

"Tss…"

Roar!

In pain, the Eight-Headed Giant Python roared and twisted its body, pouncing towards the Blood Doppelganger.

The eight heads opened their mouths at the same time and spat out black gas.

Su Jingxing, who was already prepared, controlled his Blood Doppelganger to shrink into a small ball and dodge keenly.

When the Eight-Headed Giant Python rushed in front of it in shock, the Blood Doppelganger suddenly enlarged. It grabbed the tail with both hands and swung it quickly, picking up the Eight-Headed Giant Python and smashing it onto the ground and stone walls.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ground shook and gravel fell from the stone walls.

The Blood Doppelganger kept swinging and throwing, causing the eight heads of the Eight-Headed Giant Python to roar angrily and spew black gas. However, it could not break free no matter what and could not injure the Blood Doppelganger.

Instead, it was thrown again and again, the heads spinning.

When Su Jingxing smashed the heads of three of the eight heads in a row, the giant python stopped roaring. Its thick body was limp, at the mercy of the Blood Doppelganger.

Su Jingxing sensed it, but didn't stop. He continued striking.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from a corner and pounced towards the Blood Doppelganger.

Hu~

Su Jingxing sensed it and controlled the Blood Doppelganger to swing the Eight-Headed Giant Python towards the black shadow.

Bang!

Whoosh!

With a loud bang, the black shadow was sent flying and fell to the ground, turning into a pile of rocks.

Rocks?

Su Jingxing was stunned.

The Eight-Headed Giant Python in his grip suddenly shook its tail and broke free. It swiftly slithered into the depths of the cave.

Bang!

A figure descended from the sky and landed where the Eight-Headed Giant Python was slithering towards. It stepped on the middle half of the Eight-Headed Giant Python's body, preventing it from escaping.

Three of the snake heads immediately turned around and pounced at the figure.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With a series of dull thuds, the tall figure remained motionless. Instead, the three heads of the Eight-Headed Giant Python were dizzy from the collision.

Hu! Hu! Hu!

Black and red flames lit up.

Under Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger's gaze, the rocks that he had shattered and scattered on the ground a second ago were wrapped in clusters of flames and reassembled into a body.

A body made of rock!

"Rock Fire Fiend?"

Su Jingxing was surprised.

According to the records left behind by the Wei Family's ancestors, the most terrifying strange lifeform inside the Black Flame Caves, the Rock Fire Fiend, had finally appeared.

Rock Fire Fiends were a mysterious species that possessed both rock and fire abilities.

Of course, they could also be called monsters.

This was because they relied on their bodies of rocks to make their defense invincible. On the other hand, they were almost immortal as living entities. Even if they were reduced to rubble, they could be reassembled under the drive of the flames.

When Su Jingxing first read about them, he thought it was an exaggeration.

Now that he had seen one with his own eyes, he finally understood how powerful the Rock Fire Fiend was.

This thing could not be deduced using common sense.

The human-shaped rock body had two hands and two feet. There was no mouth or nose on its head, but there was an outline of eyes. However, there were no eyeballs, and it was unknown how it could "see".

Could it be through perception?

As Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger was in thought, the Rock Fire Fiend that had finished reconstructing charged at it again.

At the same time, the black and red flames on the body of the Rock Fire Fiend that was stepping on the Eight-Headed Giant Python flickered, producing a strange suction force that covered the Eight-Headed Giant Python.

Roar!

The Eight-Headed Giant Python hissed in fear.

Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger decisively shrunk into a ball and avoided the Rock Fire Fiend's attack. It looked at the Eight-Headed Python.

The giant python that was incomparably ferocious a moment ago was now trembling all over. Streaks of translucent energy that was visible to the naked eye seeped out from its body and was absorbed by the Rock Fire Fiend.

Vitality?

The Rock Fire Fiend can absorb the vitality of other species?

Su Jingxing was shocked.

The Blood Doppelganger was not slow. It extracted the card from the Eight-Headed Giant Python that had died quickly and entered the cave.

Thump! Thump!

Behind it, a Rock Fire Fiend was hot on its heels.

This strange thing actually locked onto its prey through perception.

Whether the Blood Doppelganger shrunk itself or not made no difference in its perception.

Unless its perception was blocked out, the size of one's body would change nothing.

Su Jingxing was at a loss.

I've been targeted by the Rock Fire Fiend and it's not letting up. What should I do now?

Controlling his Blood Doppelganger to turn back into human form and take off, Su Jingxing began thinking of countermeasures.

Although shrinking into a ball and dashing away was fast, it consumed a lot of mental energy.

Running in human form consumed the Blood Doppelganger's strength. To the Blood Doppelganger's endless amount of strength, this expenditure was almost negligible.

In any case, in the Rock Fire Fiend's perception, size didn't matter, so Su Jingxing naturally returned it to human form.

Rock Fire Fiends did not know fatigue, and there was no such thing as exhaustion.

The Blood Doppelganger was similar. It could move for a long time.

For this, the human and the monster began a long pursuit, passing through cave after cave.

In order to shake off the Rock Fire Fiend, Su Jingxing couldn't even be bothered with the Soul Return Stone. He quickly deviated from the direction he had decided on.

Until it entered a dark cave without any black flames, the running Blood Doppelganger suddenly did not hear any movements behind it.

The Rock Fire Fiend's rock body made a lot of noise when it ran. Now that the sound had suddenly vanished, the Blood Doppelganger sensed it and subconsciously turned to look behind.

Through its unique field of vision, Su Jingxing saw that the Rock Fire Fiend that had been chasing him a second ago was currently tied up by a few black and red vines and pulled towards the dark area on the left.

The Rock Fire Fiend struggled, tore, and released its terrifying absorption ability, but none of them worked.

The huge rock body was forcefully tied up by the black and red vines and dragged towards the dark area on the left.

Rustle! Rustle!

A burst of red light suddenly bloomed from the dark area.

Swish!

The sound of lotus leaves opening up could be heard.

Under the red light, the Blood Doppelganger saw a massive flower that was two stories tall appear.

The entire flower stood in the center of the left area. It was completely black, and the huge petals, as they swayed, emitted clusters of black and red flames.

Just like the Rock Fire Fiend, this flower could actually emit flames!

Moreover, Su Jingxing didn't know if it was an illusion, but this giant black flower gave him a feeling that it was alive.

Not alive like plants, but like humans and animals!

Whoosh!

Red light bloomed and the giant flower swayed.

The bound Rock Fire Fiend was dragged to the foot of the giant flower by the vines.

Then, a wide petal descended, wrapped around it and drowned it.

Buzz!

The air vibrated.

A red light flashed. In less than three seconds, the giant flower opened its petals and a pile of sand-like powder poured out.

The Rock Fire Fiend's solid and heavy body was nowhere to be seen.

It was actually instantly devoured by the giant flower and turned into dust with zero sentience.

Its almost immortal rock body lost its effect against the terrifying devouring power of the giant black flower.

"Seriously, everything is closely linked."

Su Jingxing watched the entire process and sighed with emotion.

The Eight-Headed Giant Python's vitality was absorbed by the Rock Fire Fiend, and the Rock Fire Fiend was devoured and turned into sand by the giant black flower.

The dangers in the Black Flame Caves were unimaginable.

Su Jingxing shook his head and retracted his gaze. He controlled the Blood Doppelganger to shrink and quietly leave the cave.

A second before it left, from the corner of its eye, the Blood Doppelganger saw a drop of blue liquid with a red glow slide down the petals of the giant black flower and fall to the ground, rolling like a pearl.

!

!!!

The Blood Doppelganger suddenly stopped at the entrance of the cave, its gaze fixed on the bead of blue liquid with a red glow that was rolling on the ground.

That's right, it was the blue liquid with a red glow. Found it!

A treasure that could advance a first-grade martial artist to the Transcendent-grade had suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Even though there was only one drop, the appearance of this one drop told Su Jingxing where it came from.

The giant black flower!

The giant black flower that could devour the Rock Fire Fiend was actually the producer of the blue liquid with a red glow.

The factory!

Su Jingxing suppressed his excitement. The Blood Doppelganger stood rooted to the ground, as his mind raced.

The blue liquid with a red glow was produced after the giant black flower swallowed a Rock Fire Fiend.

Does this mean that every drop of blue liquid with a red glow requires the black flower to devour a Rock Fire Fiend?

Or could devouring other species also produce the blue liquid with a red glow?

Su Jingxing thought for a while. With a thought, he released a ball of blood energy and quietly approached the giant black flower.

Although Su Jingxing already had an Essence Soul, he didn't mind obtaining a treasure like the blue liquid with a red glow now that he had encountered it.

What if he needed it in the future?

No one could say for sure.

After all, the effect of the blue liquid with a red glow was too special and unbelievable.

From the looks of it, the giant black flower treated the blue liquid with a red glow like excretion after it fell to the ground. It stopped paying attention to it.

It shouldn't be a problem for Su Jingxing to take it away… right?

In his vigilance, he released his blood energy and slowly approached the giant black flower.

50 meters, 30 meters, 10 meters, five meters…

Closer, even closer.

Just a second before the blood energy came into contact with the blue liquid with a red glow, eyes suddenly appeared on the petals of the motionless black flower facing the Blood Doppelganger…

Report chapter

The pitch-black eyeballs and white sclera were crescent-shaped.

Blinking, they were spread out on a few petals and stared at the Blood Doppelganger.

At this moment, Su Jingxing felt his soul freeze.

The Blood Doppelganger froze in place, and the blood energy also paused, not daring to even move an inch forward.

Although there was no malice in the gazes, Su Jingxing was stunned.

What kind of plant is this giant flower? It actually has eyes!

And there was more than one eye. There were at least three eyes on each petal.

The pitch-black pupils made one shiver.

For a moment, the Blood Doppelganger did not move, nor did the giant black flower. It only blinked and stared at Su Jingxing, its eyes filled with curiosity.

It was as if this was the first time it was seeing a lifeform like Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger and was puzzled and surprised.

After sizing him up for a while, its gaze landed on the blue liquid with a red glow.

It looked at the blue liquid with a red glow, then at the Blood Doppelganger, then back at the blue liquid with a red glow.

Suddenly, the giant black flower controlled a flower vine and nudged the blue liquid with a red glow. It sent the pearl-like liquid rolling and touched the blood energy that had stopped in front of it.

Su Jingxing witnessed the entire process. In his shock, he subconsciously controlled the blood energy to wrap around the blue liquid with a red glow.

Then, he turned around and retreated with the blue liquid with a red glow. His speed soared to the maximum and the Blood Doppelganger broke into a run without any sense of direction.

He passed through cave after cave.

Moreover, they were not in a straight line. He all circled around to avoid being chased by the giant black flower.

Who knew if this strange flower that even had eyes could move?

Although the other party had no ill intentions and was mostly curious when it looked at the Blood Doppelganger,

Su Jingxing's intuition sensed the terrifying power hidden in the giant black flower.

There was no need for the Blood Doppelganger to attempt the vague threat.

A drop of the blue liquid with a red glow meant nothing to the giant black flower too.

After running for a few minutes and passing through more than a hundred caves, Su Jingxing controlled the Blood Doppelganger to stop and carefully sense his surroundings. After confirming that there were no longer any threats and that the giant black flower was not giving chase, he slowed down slightly.

The Black Flame Caves was too big.

One cave connected to another.

With the Blood Doppelganger running recklessly, Su Jingxing completely lost his bearings.

Simply put, he was lost.

Fortunately, he had cultivated the heavenly secret art. Under the general guidance of the Six Comets Records, the Blood Doppelganger continued to set off. It walked in caves that were sometimes dark and sometimes flickering with red light.

This time, as Su Jingxing advanced, he released his perception and listened carefully to his surroundings.

Previously, when the giant black flower was lying in ambush in the darkness, it had not been discovered.

Even though this strange flower had almost no aura, no heartbeat, and no breathing that Su Jingxing subconsciously ignored it, but if one were to sense it slightly, they would still be able to discover some abnormalities.

After learning his lesson, Su Jingxing wouldn't make the same mistake again.

The Blood Doppelganger was extremely vigilant as it advanced.

Soon, Su Jingxing heard a soft sound coming from his right.

He immediately controlled the Blood Doppelganger to curl up into a ball. The blue liquid with a red glow was also wrapped in mud to avoid attracting attention.

The two orbs floated up and hid in a corner of the dome, listening to the sounds as they slowly approached.

Tap tap tap!

It sounded like rocks knocking together, but also like footsteps.

The sound was getting closer and closer to the cave where the Blood Doppelganger was in.

[Card1]

A notification suddenly floated through his mind.

Su Jingxing was surprised. There are corpses nearby?

Tap! Tap!

As the sound approached the cave, a black shadow came into view. Su Jingxing temporarily put away his curiosity and stared at the black shadow through his Blood Doppelganger.

He could now confirm the sound from before. It was really footsteps.

When the black shadow approached, Su Jingxing realized that it was a person.

No, to be precise, it was a person in armor.

His face could not be seen because his entire body was covered in black armor, even his palm and neck were not exposed.

The entire black-armored man took light steps, covering five to six meters with each step.

The Blood Doppelganger curled up into a ball and stuck to the dome as the black-armored man walked past below.

Su Jingxing looked at him, but the black-armored man did not notice him.

Just like that, he passed through and entered another cave.

Tap tap tap!

Su Jingxing only controlled the Blood Doppelganger to return to the ground when the footsteps were far away and could no longer be heard. He looked in the direction where the black-armored man had disappeared and pondered.

When the black-armored man passed through from below, Su Jingxing sensed that he was the same as the giant black flower. There was no aura, breathing, or heartbeat.

He was like a dead man. If it wasn't because he was walking…

Wait!

Abruptly, Su Jingxing was shocked and made the connection.

Dead person…

That's right, a dead person.

Who said that dead people wouldn't walk?

Earth Star is full of mysterious things.

The Black Flame Caves had never been explored thoroughly by humans.

The appearance of a black-armored man here was strange to begin with.

If this black-armored man was a corpse, then the card he had extracted earlier could explain it.

When a corpse was discovered, cards were automatically extracted.

Su Jingxing couldn't be more familiar with this process.

With this in mind, Su Jingxing's main body, who had remained in the Yu Nation, opened his palm space and took out the last two Function Cards.

One was extracted from the corpse of the Eight-Headed Giant Python, and the other had just been extracted.

The one from the Eight-Headed Giant Python was unlocked first. It was a Mutated Beast after all.

The Attention Splitting Card!

What he extracted from the Eight-Headed Giant Python's corpse was actually a new card, the Attention Splitting Card.

Its ability was very special, and it also surprised Su Jingxing.

Attention splitting, separating one's mind and attention. There was no need to expend anything else.

Now, there were three wills to be controlled——Su Jingxing's main body, Essence Soul, and doppelganger.

Chapter 304: Two New Cards (2)

The Essence Soul was still fine. It was directly connected to the main body at the highest level, so there was no need to split his mind and attention to it.

The Blood Doppelganger was different. Although the main body and the Blood Doppelganger could move at the same time, they could not be too focused.

For example, fighting.

Once the main body or the Blood Doppelganger were in battle, the other would need to be temporarily left alone to focus on controlling the one that was in battle.

If both his main body and doppelganger were fighting at the same time, his mental and soul power would be expended very quickly.

But now that he had the Attention Splitting Card, there was no need for that.

After unlocking the Attention Splitting Card, the mysterious power that was directly augmented on Su Jingxing's mind and soul could allow Su Jingxing's main body, doppelganger, and even Essence Soul to fight at the same time without exhausting his mind.

This ability was most likely the Eight-Headed Giant Python's talent.

Now that Su Jingxing had obtained it, he would be able to split his attention to eight places at most.

It could be said that he had made a killing!

In his excitement, Su Jingxing held the other card in his hand and read the description.

The next second, he almost burst out laughing. The joy on his face could not be concealed.

He had made a killing. The second card was the real deal!

The Soul Breaking Card.

This was the name of the second card.

If he could gather four of them and unlock them at the same time, he would be able to obtain one shot of the ultimate skill, Spirit Annihilation.

Spirit Annihilation, any living being with sentience could be killed.

Including Essence Souls!

That's right, Spirit Annihilation could injure or even kill an Essence Soul.

Su Jingxing had found what he wanted most, something to counter New Chu's Martial Sage.

All he had to do was obtain the Spirit Annihilation

As long as he prepared a few more shots, Su Jingxing would be able to easily deal with the meeting at Giant Shark Island in seven days.

At that time, even if he couldn't kill New Chu's Martial Sage Chu, he could still beat him back.

New Chu's Martial Sage had been in the Transcendent-grade for at least a hundred years. He probably had similar ultimate moves.

Therefore, Su Jingxing didn't ask for much. He just wanted to beat him back or have their fight end in a draw.

The four Soul Breaking Cards combined to form one shot of Spirit Annihilation.

Let's go!

At this moment, the Soul Return Stone was no longer important. Collecting the Soul Breaking Cards was the key.

At this thought, Su Jingxing unlocked the Attention Splitting Card and gained the ability to multitask. Then, the Blood Doppelganger turned around and chased after the distant black-armored man.

If the location was unknown, he could deduce it through divination.

It was very fast. The Blood Doppelganger heard footsteps again.

It slowed down slightly and restrained its aura to the extreme. It then approached the black-armored man.

No reaction.

It continued to move closer, but there was still no reaction.

It lost effectiveness?

Didn't the Soul Breaking Card come from the black-armored man?

Was it from other lifeforms that happened to die near the Blood Doppelganger earlier?

Su Jingxing was puzzled.

Of course, there was another possibility. If the black-armored man was a corpse, would there be no second time after extracting a card once?

On second thought, that seemed to make sense.

So far, Su Jingxing had not encountered a corpse that could be extracted twice.

He had thought wrong.

At this thought, Su Jingxing smiled awkwardly and stopped following the black-armored man.

He turned around and returned the way he came. After walking for a distance, he could no longer hear anything. He circulated the Six Comets Records to deduce the location of other black-armored men.

The prerequisite for this divination was that there were other black-armored figures in the Black Flame Caves!

If there was only one black-armored man, Su Jingxing's plan would fail.

Fortunately, the results were good.

There were other black-armored men in the Black Flame Caves, and there were more than one.

Through the heavenly secrets art, he sensed that there were black-armored men in five locations.

Excluding the one behind him, there were four other places where the black-armored men were.

With joy, the Blood Doppelganger randomly chose one and rushed over.

It shuttled through cave after cave.

While maintaining its vigilant perception, the Blood Doppelganger increased its speed to the maximum.

Just as it was approaching the area where the black-armored men were, the Blood Doppelganger suddenly stopped.

Swish!

A long black shadow suddenly shot through the air at lightning speed towards the Blood Doppelganger from the darkness on the left ahead.

Pa thud!

The long black shadow struck the air, producing a strange sound.

The Blood Doppelganger twisted its body. Its energy body could transform however it wanted and easily dodge attacks.

The sudden sneak attack allowed Su Jingxing to see what the long black shadow was.

A tongue.

A tongue like that of a toad or frog!

The speed of the sneak attack was extremely fast. Before the attack, there was absolutely no reaction.

Had it not been for the Blood Doppelganger's twisting and shifting, Su Jingxing would have been struck the moment he sensed the attack.

After escaping this calamity, the Blood Doppelganger immediately condensed its blood energy and struck towards the darkness on the front left.

Swoosh!

A black shadow jumped out of the darkness. The blood energy missed and landed on the stone wall, producing a loud thud.

Swish! Swish!

The Blood Doppelganger did not move, but the black shadow abruptly pounced towards Su Jingxing.

It was half the height of a human and had a bloated body, squatting on the ground.

It was really a giant black frog!

No, it wasn't completely black. There were light purple patches on the surface of the giant frog's body that flickered with the giant frog's heartbeat.

Swish!

The slender tongue extended again and attacked the Blood Doppelganger.

However, this time, the Blood Doppelganger did not dodge. Instead, it charged forward to meet it.

The power of the blood body gathered in its fists, and its body suddenly twisted into one strand. While looking extremely strange, it also caused the giant frog's tongue to miss.

But the Blood Doppelganger's fist smashed onto the giant frog's head.

Bang!

With a dull thud, the giant frog spat out blood and white foam. Its entire body was sent flying. It retreated and crashed into the stone wall, producing a loud bang.

The next second——

Whoosh!

Without stopping, the giant frog actually broke into a run and jumped backward.

It was clearly huge, but there was no sound of it landing.

Su Jingxing was hesitating whether to give chase.

Swish!

A blade beam suddenly flashed in the dim corner on the right side of the giant frog and flew past.

Swish! Swish!

Saber beam enveloped the giant frog, bringing with it a trail of blood.

The giant frog continued to jump. There was a wound on its back. Although its body swayed, it did not stop.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In a dark corner, the saber beam flashed again. It chased after the giant frog and landed slash after slash on it again.

The giant frog dodged, but it was useless.

Through his Blood Doppelganger, Su Jingxing saw a fat man chasing after the giant frog. He held a kitchen knife in his hand and slashed out again and again.

There was no aura on his body, nor was there any heartbeat or breathing.

However, unlike the black-armored man, the man's body was covered in a light blue membrane.

As he swung his saber, the light membrane flickered like the spots on the surface of the giant frog's body.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Saber light flashed and saber energy danced.

The man chased after the giant frog and disappeared from sight.

Su Jingxing stood rooted to the ground and pondered for a moment. He did not follow.

For the other party to appear in Black Flame Caves with a treasure, not only was he powerful and in a high realm, his identity was probably not simple as well.

Su Jingxing was certain that ordinary martial artists in the top ranks would never have a treasure that could conceal their aura to zero and allow them to move around Black Flame Caves for a long time.

This fat man was clearly not simple.

Su Jingxing's current target was the black-armored men. There was no need for him to get into a conflict with him.

With this in mind, the Blood Doppelganger continued to circulate the Six Comets Records to deduce the location of the black-armored men.

Moments later, it passed through the caves, found another path, and moved swiftly following its directions.

The heavenly secrets' guidance could only provide a rough location, and it wouldn't affect it much if it was far away. When it was close, Su Jingxing slowed down his Blood Doppelganger and slowly found his way over.

Soon, he saw a black-armored man walking in the cave from afar.

[Card1]

As expected, he extracted another card!

Far away in the Yu Nation, Su Jingxing's main body quickly took out the card and read the information.

The next moment, he grinned and said, "I guessed right. The Soul Breaking Card comes from these black-armored men!"

The black-armored men were corpses.

Although Su Jingxing didn't understand why they could walk, after confirming his guess and obtaining another Soul Breaking Card, Su Jingxing was satisfied.

He had already obtained two of the four Soul Breaking Cards.

Continue!

With two more Soul Breaking Cards, he would be able to unlock one shot of Spirit Annihilation.

Now that he had a target, he was even more motivated.

The Blood Doppelganger turned around and circulated the Six Comets Records to deduce the locations of the other black-armored men.

After getting the outcome, it chose a direction and dashed into the darkness.

When it passed through a cave——

Swish! Swish! Swish!

A saber beam suddenly flashed through the passageway ahead.

Accompanied by a dull thud, the head of the giant frog that Su Jingxing had just seen finally separated from its body.

"Hahaha, finally."

"Ah, you're here too?"

It was the fat man from before!

Standing beside the giant frog's corpse, excitement was written all over his face.

When he discovered Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger, he did not panic or become wary. Instead, he greeted it like they were old friends.

"Hey, friend, do you want some frog meat?

"The flesh of the Shadow Demon Frog is quite delicious. Ever since I ate it once, I couldn't forget it. Look, I specially came here to hunt one.

"It was all thanks to you that I got the chance.

"For this, you have a share of this Shadow Demon Frog's flesh. How about I cut it out for you?"

The man with a round head, a round face, a round belly, and a round figure, who was in his thirties, looked at the Blood Doppelganger and gave a silly smile.

"By the way, my name is Ouyang Chan. What's your name?"

Su Jingxing remained silent.

Shadow Demon Frog?

In order to get a bite of frog meat, he specially barged into the Black Flame Caves?

This excuse is too lousy.

Even if the flesh of the Shadow Demon Frog is really incomparably delicious, almost no one would risk their lives for a bite of food.

After all, how would they eat it if they were already dead?

…

The Blood Doppelganger kept silent.

The man named Ouyang Chan wasn't angry at all. He shrugged and spread his hands. "Since you don't want it, I won't stand on ceremony."

With that, he cut off the giant frog's legs in front of Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger.

The giant frog's upper body and head were left untouched on the ground.

Su Jingxing, who had extracted a card, glanced at the giant frog's corpse without a change in countenance

Is this fellow really here to eat frog meat?

The best part of frogs was indeed their two legs.

"Alright, I've got the frog meat. Brother, I'll see next time if there's a chance!"

Waving his hand at Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger, Ouyang Chan carried the two frog legs and walked towards a cave on the right, disappearing from sight.

"He really left?"

Su Jingxing sensed carefully and realized that Ouyang Chan was really walking towards the caves in the distance with the frog legs.

Alright, regardless of whether he really came to the Black Flame Caves to eat frog meat, since he had left, Su Jingxing no longer harped on it.

After circling around the remains of the giant frog, Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger followed the guidance of the heavenly secrets and continued to shuttle through cave after cave, searching for the black-armored men.

…

At the same time.

Void World, Yu Nation.

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul had just brandished the Wandering Dragon Saber to try cultivating the Heaven Origin volume of the Three Origins Saber Art.

The Heaven Origin Saber was a mental attack that could be condensed using soul power alone.

However, its lethality was limited. It could deal with low-level martial artists and ordinary void monsters, but it was difficult to kill stronger ones.

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul had wanted to increase the power of the Heaven Origin Saber through the Wandering Dragon Saber, which was already a divine weapon.

However, after experimenting for a while, the might of the Heaven Origin Saber, which was a semi soul skill, was almost concealed by the strength of the Wandering Dragon Saber when released using it.

It was not that the fusion had made it stronger, but that the power of the divine weapon, the Wandering Dragon Saber had stopped and suppressed the might of the Heaven Origin volume of the Three Origins Saber Art.

As a result, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul had no choice but to give up on the Heaven Origin Saber.

The Wandering Dragon Saber, a divine weapon, was now an independent entity with its own sentience. Sometimes, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul could even sense a wisp of consciousness appearing on it

If this consciousness were to grow stronger, it would undoubtedly become the Wandering Dragon Saber's saber soul!

With the saber soul, the Wandering Dragon Saber would only become stronger and more incredible.

It was rumored that ancient spirit weapons had their own souls and spirits.

Su Jingxing didn't know about the existence of divine weapons before. Now that he had the Wandering Dragon Saber, he couldn't help but suspect that the reason why ancient spirit weapons almost became extinct was because they were divine weapons to begin with and couldn't be seen with the naked eye?

This guess was quite likely the case.

The reason why ancient spirit weapons were passed down was because they were powerful.

However, since more than a thousand years ago, the ancient spirit weapons had never appeared again.

Those that were exposed and possessed by humans were all blood spirit weapons.

Ancient spirit weapons had disappeared for so long. If they were divine weapons, then everything could be explained.

Of course, Su Jingxing didn't know the exact details.

The era when the ancient spirit weapons appeared was too far away from him.

It was enough as long as Su Jingxing's Essence Soul could hold on to the Wandering Dragon Saber in his possession.

The Essence Soul brandished its divine weapon and flashed.

Just as it was about to stop, a malicious intent suddenly came from its left.

Geographically, the left was the east side of the Yu Nation, the direction of the sea.

In the Void World, in the dark area on the left, malice surged out. Not long after, a familiar monster emerged from the darkness.

The Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast!

Another Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast that could release a tornado emerged from the darkness.

The moment Su Jingxing's Essence Soul saw the other party, it was delighted instead of angry.

Good, perfect timing.

After killing the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast, and collecting three Equipment Cards, he would be able to obtain a Thunder Dragon Bone Armor.

This was a defensive soul treasure. If Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was equipped, not only would he have a higher chance of defeating New Chu's Martial Sage, he would also save himself the worry of getting injured.

Of course, he would only know how powerful the defense of the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor was after obtaining it.

The most important thing now was to get rid of this Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast that had emerged from the darkness.

The snake-like body left the darkness section by section.

Its cold eyes never left Su Jingxing's Essence Soul after discovering it.

Its gaze was fixed on Su Jingxing as it inched closer.

Crack!

An electric arc flashed, and lightning shot out from the sides of the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast. It was exploring the Void World.

In the real world below the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul noticed that after the lightning shot out, the clouds in the sky immediately gathered and condensed into a ball.

Chapter 306: Surprise! (2)

This snake-shaped monster had actually begun to trigger a tornado before it passed through the border membrane and entered reality.

Swish! Swish!

Opening Sword Eyes, the eyes of Su Jingxing's Essence Soul lit up as they shot towards the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast.

Rip! Rip!

The Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast twisted its body and did not dodge at all, taking the blow head-on.

Crack!

Boom! Boom!

In the real world below, thunder rumbled in the sky.

In the Void World, electric arcs coiled around the body of the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast. Tanking the attack from Sword Eyes, it pounced towards Su Jingxing's Essence Soul.

Poo!

A Heaven Trampling Elephant appeared out of thin air, running and stomping as it charged towards the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast.

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul held the Wandering Dragon Saber and moved quickly, rounding to the side.

The Heaven Trampling Elephant attracted the attention of the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast.

The Essence Soul seized the opportunity and attacked with the Wandering Dragon Saber.

This was Su Jingxing's plan.

However, things did not go as smoothly as he had expected.

When the Heaven Trampling Elephant rushed over to stop the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast, it was swept away by the huge Void Beast's tail.

Then, it opened its mouth and fired an invisible blast at the Essence Soul.

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was prepared and dodged in advance. Then, with the Wandering Dragon Saber in hand, it pushed close again.

The Heaven Trampling Elephant that was sent flying also recovered and charged at the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast.

Crack! Crack!

Boom! Boom!

Lightning bloomed and electric arcs danced.

The Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast was wrapped in lightning, forcing Su Jingxing's Essence Soul to go close.

The Heaven Trampling Elephant that charged over released clusters of lightning to attack.

Poo!

The Heaven Trampling Elephant's body flashed. It withstood the lightning strike and did not dissipate immediately.

Swish!

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul also endured the stimulation of the electric arcs and leaped up. It swung the Wandering Dragon Saber in midair and slashed at the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast.

With a ripping sound, it left a wound on the body of the beast.

This was the first time the might of the divine weapon was revealed.

Su Jingxing had relied on killing its way out from the inside the last time he killed a Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast.

Sword Eyes shone on the outside for a long while, but it was not injured.

This time, the Wandering Dragon Saber broke through the defense of the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast with just one slash.

Although the wound was not big, the effect of this slash surprised Su Jingxing.

The Essence Soul landed on the ground and flashed quickly, avoiding the sweep by the beast's tail. Electric arcs wrapped around it.

It flipped into the air again. Aiming at the wound with the Wandering Dragon Saber, it released a swift slash.

Roar!

An angry roar suddenly sounded and reverberated through the Void World.

The second slash, which worsened the wound from the first, successfully enraged the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast.

The snake-shaped monster immediately increased its speed to shuttle and sweep around. It brushed past Su Jingxing's Essence Soul.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was straightforward. It brandished the Wandering Dragon Saber and slashed in a circular motion around its body.

Without targeting any direction, it spun itself and attacked in 360 degrees.

The Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast happened to rush over and collided with the blade.

Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!

Crack! Crack!

Boom boom boom!

Saber beam, thunder, and electric arcs bloomed altogether at once.

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul endured the effects of lightning, and the Wandering Dragon Saber in its hand left wounds on the body of the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast.

Swish! Swish!

Light shot out from its Sword Eyes as it aimed at the wounds of the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast and launched continuous attacks.

The Heaven Trampling Elephant held on with its translucent body and stepped on the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast, preventing it from moving.

The Wandering Dragon Saber in the Essence Soul's grip circulated the power of the divine weapon to the extreme, further deepening and widening the first wound of the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast until it penetrated through and came out from the other side.

Roar!

The Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast's furious and agonized roars grew louder.

Crack! Crack!

More electric arcs wrapped around its body.

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was injured, but it did not let go. Enduring the pain, it gripped the Wandering Dragon Saber tightly and injected soul power into it, activating the power of the divine weapon and sliced horizontally towards the head of the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast.

The entire process started from the abdomen and cut towards the head.

This slash was like a disembowelment, slicing the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast into two up till its head.

Roar!

Bang!

With a final snarl from the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast, the Heaven Trampling Elephant shattered and dissipated.

Following closely behind, the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast gradually faded.

[Card1]

A notification flashed.

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul held the Wandering Dragon Saber and half-knelt on the ground, enduring the pain in his Essence Soul body.

His main body took out the card he had extracted from his palm space.

Equipment Card!

Su Jingxing was not disappointed. After killing this Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast, he obtained the same Equipment Card again.

Three similar Equipment Cards would give the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor.

He was only missing the last card.

Of course, in his current state, if another Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast were to emerge from the darkness, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul would probably find it difficult to kill it. At most, it would repulse it.

The lightning and thunder of the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast were very strange. They were not ordinary heavenly lightning.

Not only would it cause damage to Su Jingxing's Essence Soul body, there were even remnants of it.

For a period of time, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul could no longer move its blade. He had to first remove and dissolve the strange lightning and thunder power in the Essence Soul's body before slowly recovering.

With this in mind, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul broke down the Nine Souls Ring. The nine rings were separated out and danced in the space to prevent other Void World monsters from emerging again.

…

Black Flame Caves.

Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger followed the guidance of the heavenly secret arts and entered a cave filled with flames.

This cave was several times brighter than the ones Su Jingxing had passed through previously.

On the ground, rock walls, and dome, there were fiery red rocks that emitted light and heat.

Under this light, clusters of strange plants grew in the corners of the walls on both sides of the cave, and even on the dome.

Resembling grass, yet not grass, resembling flowers, yet not flowers.

Each plant was about half the height of a person, and there was no aura wrapped around them.

Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger took a look and quickly passed through.

The heavenly secret arts showed that a black-armored man was not far ahead.

As long as it wasn't a critical situation, Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger wouldn't care about anything else.

Although these plants…

Hmm?

Mm!

Suddenly, the eyes of the Blood Doppelganger lit up as it stared fixedly at the center of a plant. There was a shaped stone that Xia Cangxuan had told him about. It reflected a milky white glow under the red light.

Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger stared at the stone. Comparing it to Xia Cangxuan's introduction, it carefully sensed the aura of the stone and the corners of its lips slowly curled up.

Haha, found it!

Soul Return Stone!

The fourth treasure that he had not deliberately searched for actually appeared before his eyes in such a pleasant surprise.

The Blood Doppelganger was overjoyed.

Chasing after the black-armored man and accidentally discovering the Soul Return Stone saved Su Jingxing most of the time.

The Soul Return Stone was an important treasure for the forging of the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal. The total amount had to be the size of an adult man's palm.

The one in the center of the strange plants was clearly not enough.

But it didn't matter. There were dozens of strange plants growing in this cave.

Previously, Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger did not take a close look. It only caught a glimpse of a Soul Return Stone in the center from the corner of its eye.

Now, it scanned carefully to sense for auras.

Soon, it discovered that there were three small Soul Return Stones hidden inside three more strange plants.

Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger immediately released its blood energy to retrieve the Soul Return Stones.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it released its blood energy and approached the strange plants…

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The dozens of strange plants that grew on the ground, the rock walls, and the dome suddenly left their original positions. Their not-so-dense roots were like legs as they scattered with the strange plants and Soul Return Stones.

As they ran, they even made strange sounds.

Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger took this in and was shocked. It could not help but speed up its collection.

Like an arrow, the blood energy accurately struck the four strange plants that were escaping and scooped up the four Soul Return Stones hidden in the center of the plants.

However, it was not enough. These four Soul Return Stones were not enough to forge the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal.

Therefore, Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger put away the Soul Return Stones and mobilized more blood energy to bombard the ground.

Bang!

Hu!

With a dull thud, a visible wave of air swept through the entire cave.

The strange plants that were fleeing in all directions were immediately swept to the ground, producing strange sounds.

The Soul Return Stones of various sizes hidden in the plants fell to the ground and rolled.

Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger grinned.

Controlling the release of blood energy, it collected every single one of the Soul Return Stones.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Light footsteps suddenly came from the cave ahead right then.

The Blood Doppelganger quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.

Hmm?

Su Jingxing was slightly stunned when he got a clear look of his target.

A donkey.

An ordinary adult black donkey of ordinary size strolled briskly into the cave.

On its honest face, its eyes blinked as it looked at Su Jingxing and then at the strange plants on the ground.

Amidst the strange sounds, the latter quickly ran towards the black donkey and gathered together to hide behind it.

Hee-haw!

The black donkey wagged its tail and brayed at the Blood Doppelganger.

Su Jingxing did not move.

The black donkey blinked and did not move either.

The strange sounds from the dozens of strange plants did not stop, as if they were complaining.

Hee-haw!

In the confrontation, the black donkey raised its front hooves again and brayed at the Blood Doppelganger.

This time, the Blood Doppelganger retreated quietly.

Hee-haw!

The black donkey's cries became strange. However, it did not move forward or do anything else. It blinked and stared at the Blood Doppelganger as it retreated bit by bit. It left the cave and the passageway.

While retreating, Su Jingxing kept his guard up against the black donkey.

Be it its aura or appearance, this black donkey was extremely ordinary.

But how could anything who could move freely in Black Flame Caves be ordinary?

To put it bluntly, the more ordinary the lifeforms in the Black Flame Caves were, the more terrifying they were.

Initially, Su Jingxing had wanted to take a strange plant with him to slowly study it.

However, after this black donkey that seemed to be the backer of the strange plants appeared, Su Jingxing decisively gave up on the idea.

Again, Su Jingxing wouldn't make a move rashly unless necessary.

Under the black donkey's watch, the Blood Doppelganger left the cave and turned into another passageway. Then, it sped up and left at lightning speed.

After leaving the area where the black donkey was, it then slowed down again. It released his blood energy and condensed sand and stones to wrap around the Soul Return Stones of different sizes.

Su Jingxing immediately relaxed now that he had gathered all four treasures needed for the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal.

Next was to extract the Soul Breaking Card.

If he wanted to draw against New Chu's Martial Sage, he would need at least three shots of Spirit Annihilation.

One shot of Spirit Annihilation required four Soul Breaking Cards.

Three shots equated to 12 cards.

Su Jingxing only had two cards on hand, which meant that he needed ten more.

Extracted cards from ten black-armored men.

Repetition was not possible. Every black-armored man could only be extracted once.

How many black-armored men were there?

Su Jingxing didn't know. For now, he could only take things one step at a time.

After resting for a while, the Blood Doppelganger circulated the Six Comets Records to deduce the location of the black-armored men.

After choosing a direction, Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger immediately rushed over.

Following the vague guidance of the heavenly secret arts, it approached a black-armored man.

It passed through cave after cave.

It bypassed the area where the black donkey was and moved closer to a black-armored man.

[Card1]

From afar, it extracted a card.

Su Jingxing took it out and read the information in his palm. It was a Soul Breaking Card.

With the item in hand, the Blood Doppelganger quickly turned around and left.

Retreating a distance, he circulated the Six Comets Records again and divined the locations of the other black-armored men.

Again, after selecting a location, the Blood Doppelganger dashed over.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth cards.

When the Blood Doppelganger extracted six Soul Breaking Cards and walked into a cave on the way to the seventh, Su Jingxing's heart skipped a beat.

"Not good!"

As soon as he finished speaking——

Bang!

With a loud explosion, Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger exploded into countless pieces without any warning…

Eh, no. The Blood Doppelganger was an energy body. With this explosion, it turned into a pool of liquid that splattered all over the ground.

Hu~

Swish!

Amidst the strange sounds, the Blood Doppelganger that had dissipated into liquid, the sand that wrapped around the Soul Return Stones, and the pearls of blue liquid with a red glow were all sent flying out of the cave by an invisible repulsive force.

After lying on the ground for a while, Su Jingxing controlled the liquid to condense into a human body.

Putting away the Soul Return Stones and the blue liquid with a red glow, Su Jingxing exhaled.

Squeezing!

There was a terrifying squeezing force in the cave.

As soon as Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger entered, it was enveloped by a squeezing force that came from all directions.

Under the terrifying force, Su Jingxing only had time to shout once before it exploded from the pressure.

Fortunately, it was the Blood Doppelganger. If it had been his main body made of flesh and blood, he would have long died.

There were no records of such power in the records left behind by the Wei Family's ancestors.

On second thought, the cave that Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger had gone to was already deep in the Black Flame Caves and nearing the center.

The information about Black Flame Caves that the Wei Family's ancestors had could not involve this are.

Naturally, they would not know that there was a cave so dangerous that one would explode from the squeezing in less than three seconds.

Su Jingxing thought back carefully. Even if his main body activated his transcendent body power, he wouldn't be able to withstand the sensation in this cave.

Faced with this force, the only way was to take a detour.

There were only six Soul Breaking Cards, and Su Jingxing didn't want to leave just like that.

He took a long detour.

The Blood Doppelganger came to the other side and approached the black-armored man's position.

Who would have thought——

Bang!

A familiar explosion sounded. The Blood Doppelganger that had stepped into the cave was once again crushed into countless drops of liquid that splattered everywhere.

Then, under the invisible repulsive force, it was lifted and flew out of the cave.

Another explosion!

After making a big detour, the cave it entered actually also contained the terrifying squeezing force.

Su Jingxing, who was crushed the second time, frowned tightly.

Although the pain from the explosion of the Blood Doppelganger was limited, without figuring out the reason, no matter how many detours it took, it would not be able to get close to the black-armored man.

They are clearly in two different directions, separated by a large circle, so why is there still a terrifying squeezing force in the cave?

Could it be that the periphery of the center of the Black Flame Caves is filled with this power?

Any lifeform that enters this range will be squeezed and crushed?

Su Jingxing's eyes flickered as he put away the Soul Return Stones and the blue liquid with a red glow. He controlled the Blood Doppelganger to circle around again and stepped into another cave.

However, this time, the moment he stepped in, he swiftly retreated.

The entire process took less than two seconds.

The information received made Su Jingxing frown.

He had guessed right!

There was also that frightening squeezing force in the cave.

The center of the Black Flame Caves was filled with this force.

He couldn't even get close, let alone enter.

The location of the black-armored man that the heavenly secret arts had divined was in the center.

Since he couldn't get close, he naturally couldn't extract the Soul Breaking Card.

What should I do?

Su Jingxing fell silent and fell into deep thought.

Such power could not be countered using brute force. It was not a mechanism, a restriction, or an array formation.

Breaking it by force was unrealistic and impossible.

After much thought, he decided to wait for the black-armored man to come out on his own.

After extracting six cards, Su Jingxing realized that these black-armored men had been moving around.

The routes they took all started from the center and extended to the periphery of the Black Flame Caves.

As if they were patrolling, they moved to and fro between the center and the outside.

Su Jingxing had already extracted the previous six.

The remaining black-armored men returned to the center before he could get into contact with them.

The black-armored men ignored the terrifying squeezing force. If Su Jingxing couldn't do it, he would wait outside.

In any case, there were still six days before the banquet by New Chu's Martial Sage. Su Jingxing was not in a hurry.

He made his decision.

Su Jingxing controlled his Blood Doppelganger to stop taking detours and wait outside the cave.

It waited for a day and night.

Report chapter

The black-armored man finally appeared.

Accompanied by familiar footsteps, he walked out of the center area of the Black Flame Caves and into the cave that was filled with the fearsome squeezing force.

The squeezing force did not react to the black-armored man's entry.

Su Jingxing controlled the Blood Doppelganger to curl up and hang from the dome. He watched as the black-armored man passed through the cave and walked into the distance.

[Card1]

A notification flashed. Soul Breaking Card obtained.

The Blood Doppelganger descended from the sky and returned to its human form before circling to the other caves.

This black-armored man had already been extracted. If he wanted another card, he would have to change his target.

As such, Su Jingxing moved to another position and continued to wait.

Another day and night passed, and a new black-armored man arrived.

He extracted a Soul Breaking Card, making a total of eight.

He changed position and waited for another day and night. There were now a total of nine Soul Splitting Cards.

He repeated the process.

But this time, Su Jingxing only waited halfway before he felt sleepy for no reason.

I feel sleepy!

I indeed have not slept for a few days. Now, I can't hold on anymore?

No!

Something is wrong!

Su Jingxing suddenly sobered up. Before he could sense where the problem came from, his main body, who was flying in the air on Thunderbolt and returning to Qinghe City, quickly put away Thunderbolt and activated his transcendent body.

As soon as his transcendent body was activated, his main body, Blood Doppelganger, and Essence Soul fell asleep at the same time.

…

…

In his daze, Su Jingxing heard someone calling his name and reached out to stroke his forehead.

It was a warm feeling, gentle, benevolent, and cozy.

Subconsciously, Su Jingxing opened his eyes.

What entered his sight was a smooth stone dome.

He looked around.

Stone slabs… No, they should be stones.

There were walls made of stone on all four sides, and two thick boulders formed a wall.

One side had a window, and the further in, a door.

There was a curtain made of rattan hanging at the door, and the window was also covered by a curtain.

Warm sunlight shone into the room through the gaps between the rattan, bringing warmth to this stone house that was empty except for a few beast skins hanging on the wall and a stone bed.

Su Jingxing lay on the hard stone bed and looked around before sitting up.

Then, he sensed the movements outside the house.

Unexpectedly, his powerful perception had disappeared.

No matter how hard Su Jingxing tried, his perception that could be released over a range of hundreds of meters did not react.

There was no reaction even when he used his secret abilities.

He circulated his soul power, no reaction.

The same when he manifested his Essence Soul.

And when he shrunk his Blood Doppelganger.

True essence? True energy?

After sensing his body for a moment, Su Jingxing looked at his palm in shock.

It had become smaller.

His arms and palms had all shrunk.

He got out of bed and looked at himself. His entire being had become smaller too.

Although he was small, he was very muscular. His arms, thighs, and chest were filled with muscles.

"What's going on?"

Su Jingxing was puzzled as he sensed the great strength in his body.

He could sense that the Essence Soul and Blood Doppelganger were gone.

Only his strong physique and shrunken body remained.

And this spacious stone house.

Puzzled, Su Jingxing walked to the door, pulled open the rattan curtain, and went outside.

His pupils dilated the moment he stepped out.

Stone house, stone house, stone house.

On his left and right, as well as 30 meters ahead, were tall stone houses.

The spacious ground was made of hard yellow soil. The hardness was completely from constant treading.

In the sky, what shocked Su Jingxing the most was that there were two moons!

It was clearly daytime, but the sun was hanging high in the sky. The two moons on its left and right respectively shone brightly.

There were two moons in the sky and stone houses all over the ground.

Not far away, there were burly men in beast skin with leaves wrapped around their bodies. They were extremely strong and nearly two meters tall. They were speaking strange words, but Su Jingxing could understand what they meant.

All of this made Su Jingxing's mind go blank and his gaze blank.

"Did I… transmigrate again?"

The Essence Soul and Blood Doppelganger were gone, and his body had shrunk. The others around him, including himself, were wearing beast skin and leaves.

There were two moons and the sun in the sky.

If this wasn't transmigration, then what was?

The problem was that this transmigration was not what Su Jingxing wanted.

It wasn't easy for him to cultivate to the third-grade and obtain an Essence Soul by luck to become the Yu Nation's new Martial Sage.

In the end, without any warning, he transmigrated again and arrived at a suspected ancient…

No, it was an even older period.

In ancient times, Earth Star also only had one moon.

Of course, it was also possible that this was not Earth Star but another planet.

A brand new planet with life that was still in its desolate era.

This body was very strong, but Su Jingxing would rather go back.

In a day, he had lost everything he worked hard for.

Su Jingxing wasn't happy at all about this new life.

He wondered whether himself, his physical body and Essence Soul on Earth Star were…

Hey, wait a minute!

Suddenly, Su Jingxing's expression changed. He narrowed his eyes and sensed carefully.

His physical body was still here!

The Essence Soul was also present!

He could still sense himself on Earth Star.

I just don't know why I can't order him around. This feels like a dream…

Yes, a dream!

For a moment, Su Jingxing was jolted awake. He was stunned, enlightened, and shocked.

He was dreaming!

Right now, he was in a dream.

The neighborings stone houses and the moons in the sky were all existences in his dream.

And such dreams had a name called lucid dreams.

As the name suggested, they were dreams when one was conscious.

Sensing that he was dreaming and not transmigrated again, Su Jingxing heaved a sigh of relief.

"I've only waited in the Black Flame Caves for a few days and nights, but I'm already dreaming. And it's such a clear lucid dream.

"Are the mysteries of this Black Flame Caves really beyond imagination?

"I remember that before I fell asleep, I sensed something strange. My main body only had time to activate the transcendent body before I fell from the sky.

"I fell from a height of nearly a thousand meters. In my transcendent body state, my physical body… should be fine, right?"

Su Jingxing felt uneasy.

Although he knew that he was dreaming, for some reason, he couldn't wake up.

As a result, Su Jingxing was unaware of the situation with his main body.

Falling from a height of nearly a thousand meters, if it were anyone else, they would definitely be shattered to pieces.

However, since Su Jingxing had activated a transcendent body that was mainly defensive, his condition was unknown.

He might be fine, or he might have broken some limbs.

Su Jingxing couldn't predict the outcome and could only watch helplessly.

A lucid dream.

If he couldn't wake up, all would be useless!

"Gui, you're awake?"

A strange tone sounded, but Su Jingxing understood what it meant. Suppressing his frustration, he looked up at the person who spoke.

It was one of the three people he had seen walking over from afar.

He was nearly two meters tall, revealing his upper body that was covered in muscles. His waist was wrapped in an unknown beast skin.

His rough and resolute face was full of smiles. He looked at Su Jingxing and said with a smile, "Gui, don't be shy. It's always like this on your first hunt. You were just being kicked unconscious by a rabbit. It's no big deal."

Rab… rabbit?

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Report chapter

Su Jingxing was bewildered.

What rabbit is so powerful that it can knock someone out?

Just as he was about to speak, his mouth opened by itself.

"I'm not shy! It was an accident that I fainted. The next time I see a rabbit, I'll definitely kill it!"

An absolutely chunibyo tone came from Su Jingxing's…

No, to be precise, it came from the young man that Su Jingxing had "possessed".

This lucid dream was very strange. Su Jingxing's consciousness had "possessed" this young man named Gui.

Previously, the young man was the one leading the movements, listening, and feelings.

Su Jingxing was just a bystander, watching the young man's every move.

Just like playing a game, the young man's vision was Su Jingxing's vision.

Su Jingxing hadn't noticed earlier, but now that the young man had spoken, he immediately realized.

The dream he entered clearly belonged to this young man, Gui.

Dream Entering Divine Power?

Su Jingxing was in thought.

…

He couldn't speak, nor could he take control of himself. He could only be a bystander, following the young man, Gui. He walked as he walked, paused as he paused, and spoke as he spoke.

Through the young man's vision, Su Jingxing learned where he was.

The Mountain Moving Clan.

A powerful tribe, everyone was a warrior with the strength of tens of thousands of catties.

It was said that the strongest clan leader could move mountains.

Su Jingxing didn't know if this was an exaggeration or if it really existed.

He only knew that the Mountain Moving Clan was indeed very powerful. They did not cultivate true energy, only the physical body. Every body could undergo several transformations, continuously strengthening, strengthening, and strengthening.

It could be said that every adult member of the Mountain Moving Clan had a transcendent body.

Tens of thousands of catties of strength wasn't even their average. 100,000 catties was.

Their opponents were behemoths, demons, gods, and devils!

The world he was in had no name. It was only called the Grand Desolate.

The vast wilderness was boundless.

The gods and devils here were two powerful races.

Demons were a strange and mutated species.

Behemoths were even simpler. They were huge beasts.

Although the rabbit that had knocked the young man out was indeed a rabbit, it was actually as big as a tiger. Its hind legs were shockingly strong. It could break boulders and giant trees, let alone knock people out.

Also, through the young man's vision, Su Jingxing saw that every time before sunset, the Mountain Moving Clan's hunting team would bring back all kinds of huge prey.

Ten-meter-long pigs, three-meter-tall chickens, five-meter-tall cows…

The flesh of all kinds of giant beasts contained extremely rich energy. The people of the Mountain Moving Clan, men, women, old, and young, mainly ate meat. Of course, after roasting them.

Such a diet was naturally very nourishing, causing every clansman to have a strong physique and 10,000 catties of strength.

During Su Jingxing's "possession" of the young man, Gui, time was not continuous. Instead, it was jumpy.

The first time he woke up, Gui was only 12 years old.

At 12 years old, he had just met the criteria to go out to hunt.

Then, when he woke up for the second time, Gui was already 15 years old. He had already become the new powerful warrior of the clan. His strength reached 150,000 kilograms and he was more than two meters tall.

Through his vision, Su Jingxing followed the young man's steps, going out to fight and hunt. He killed giant beasts with his palm, tore apart gods and devils with his hands, and killed demons with his fists.

When he woke up for the third time, Gui had become a middle-aged man. He was 30 years old and was a great leader of the Mountain Moving Clan. His status in the clan was second only to the clan leader.

When he woke up for the fourth time, middle-aged Gui… was about to die.

In a war where more than ten human tribes had joined forces to fight against the gods, Gui took three of them alone. He killed two generals and perished together with the third.

The moment Gui died, Su Jingxing's consciousness recovered.

The Essence Soul, main body, and Blood Doppelganger instantly sobered up.

Ignoring the Blood Doppelganger, he first checked his main body to make sure that it was fine, then checked his Essence Soul. He mainly sensed the space within the Yu Nation's territory in the Void World and only heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that no Void World monsters had appeared.

When he checked his Blood Doppelganger again, he realized that he was still in the same spot, outside the cave.

His main body checked the number of Soul Breaking Cards he had extracted. There were actually 12 of them.

While he was asleep, not only did more black-armored men come out, there were also more than one of them.

Of course, this was a good thing, and Su Jingxing couldn't be bothered to pursue the reason. The Blood Doppelganger put away the Soul Return Stones, the blue liquid with a red glow, and circulated the Six Comets Records to deduce the exit and leave the Black Flame Caves.

The center area of the Black Flame Caves where the black-armored men was was too strange.

He fell asleep without any warning.

His consciousness had even entered a strange dream. There was definitely something wrong here.

With 12 Soul Breaking Cards, he could release three shots of Spirit Annihilation.

Now that he had achieved his goal, Su Jingxing would not stay any longer.

…

After the Blood Doppelganger left the Black Flame Caves, the Essence Soul continued to guard the Void World.

Su Jingxing sized up his surroundings.

He laid on the bed. The room was decorated warmly.

It was daytime outside the window. Sunlight shone through the curtains and into the room, making one feel warm.

Throwing off the blanket, Su Jingxing got up and looked out the window.

Outside the house was a street. Pedestrians walked back and forth, and shops lined up on both sides.

He released his perception. There was no one outside the room, but there was one downstairs.

It was a young woman.

Some of the people next door were watching television, while others were chatting.

Further out, everyone was doing their own thing.

Judging from the accent, this wasn't the Changyang Prefecture.

That's right. Su Jingxing remembered that before he fell asleep, his main body was rushing back to Changyang Prefecture. Thunderbolt was put away in time and his transcendent body was activated.

Chapter 310: Choice (2)

He fell from nearly a thousand meters in the air. Now it seemed that the physique of a transcendent body was extraordinarily strong.

From such a height, not only did he not break his arms or legs, he did not even suffer any internal injuries.

He had appeared in the unknown room. Clearly, he had been saved.

The person who saved him was most likely the young woman downstairs.

Mm, it could be considered as saving his life.

If the transcendent body was left in the wild, he wouldn't be afraid of being exposed to the elements. What he was afraid of was bad luck. If he was struck by a powerful move and bumped into a Savage Beast that was passing by, his transcendent body defense might not be able to defend against it.

The ripping power of some Savage Beasts was extremely terrifying. It was not impossible for them to break through the transcendent body.

Su Jingxing was very grateful that he could avoid these troubles.

As he was thinking, a commotion suddenly came from downstairs.

Su Jingxing listened for a moment and smiled. What a coincidence.

Immediately, he turned around, walked to the door, opened it, and walked down the stairs.

In such street buildings, the second levels were used as lodging while the first levels held shops.

When Su Jingxing came down, the first thing he saw was a supermarket. It was medium-sized, but there were no customers at all.

The commotion came from the entrance of the supermarket, where the cashier was.

Su Jingxing walked over slowly. Soon, he saw seven burly men surrounding a young woman who looked delicate, gentle, but tired. They were shouting non-stop.

"Let me tell you, there's a limit to Master Nine's patience. If you still don't return the money, you can dream on about continuing to run this supermarket!"

"Little girl, don't think that just because you're pretty, you can keep owing money."

"Hehe, it's fine if you don't want to return the money. Master Nine said that as long as you're willing to be his lover, he'll write off the loan."

"…"

They were either threatening, teasing, or provoking.

A group of people surrounded the young woman. All they had yet to do was get physical.

The young woman's face alternated between flushed and pale. Her body trembled slightly and her eyes were red.

The people watching from the shops on the left and right secretly sized them up, but no one came forward to help.

Firstly, they were deterred by the group's might. Secondly, they were being wise for personal survival.

Not many people were willing to interfere in such matters.

Su Jingxing didn't make much noise when he walked over, but he still attracted the attention of a few people.

"Ha, someone still dares to buy things here?" A man with a buzz cut cocked his head and surveyed Su Jingxing. As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, wanting to push him. "Id*ot, you're quite bold…"

Pa!

The slap was loud and clear, echoing in the supermarket.

The man with the buzz-cut stopped talking abruptly. He spun on the spot twice and fell to the ground with a thud, unconscious.

Even so, half of his face became swollen like a pig's head.

Silence fell inside and outside the supermarket. Everyone's gazes fell on Su Jingxing.

Mm, Su Jingxing did not change his appearance. Ever since he came to the southwest, he had become a yellow-faced burly man and took on the alias, Li Jing.

At this moment, he had not used his full strength when he attacked.

Even though there was a 99% chance that the young woman was his savior, Su Jingxing would always hold back before he was 100% sure.

"Uncle, you're awake?"

In the silence, the young woman was the first to speak.

She looked at Su Jingxing with joy and surprise.

"How many days are there until the Martial Sage's meeting on Giant Shark Island?" Su Jingxing responded with another question.

"Huh?" The young woman was stunned. Then she thought of something and replied, "It's tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?"

Su Jingxing nodded and continued, "Did you save me?"

Su Jingxing ignored the others and looked at the young woman.

"Well… not really. My elder brother and I just saw you fall down the mountain and fall into a coma. Then, we brought you home.

"By the way, my name is Lu Xinyan. My brother is Lu Xincheng," introduced the young woman. "Uncle, are you alright?"

"Alright? He hit one of ours, he's dead meat!"

A bald burly man chimed in with a sinister smile. "I thought he was bold enough to come here to buy something. Turns out that you siblings had saved a b*stard who doesn't what's good for…"

Before he could finish his sentence.

Pak!

Another crisp sound reverberated through the supermarket.

The bald man was sent flying out of the supermarket and landed on the street. His limbs were bent and he passed out from the pain immediately.

He had fainted, and his entire face had turned into a pig's head. His mouth was full of blood, and his teeth were all over the ground.

The supermarket fell into silence again.

Compared to the buzz-cut man, the bald man's tragic state was even more shocking.

No one saw Su Jingxing take action, but the bald burly man was sent flying.

The slap threw him ten meters out. His limbs were bent and he fainted on the spot.

What realm was this martial artist in?

An expert!

No matter what grade he was in, he was an expert!

At this moment, Lu Xinyan was dumbfounded.

The remaining five men were also left agape and terrified.

The people in the shops on the left and right, and opposite were all stunned silent.

A furious shout broke the silence.

"Stop! You b*stards, get out!"

A muscular young man dashed down the street. He looked furious as he shouted angrily at the five people at the entrance of the supermarket. "D*mned b*stards, if you dare to touch my sister, even if I die, I… I will…"

His words trailed off.

This young man who ran over was a little dumbfounded. He looked at the bald burly man lying on the ground, then at the buzz-cut man. Finally, he turned around and his gaze landed on Su Jingxing. He was bewildered.

"What… what's going on with them?"

"Brother, Uncle is awake." Lu Xinyan came back to her senses and said excitedly, "These two people were… knocked out by Uncle."

"Um, is he really a martial arts expert?"

The young man, Lu Xincheng, looked at Su Jingxing and blurted out subconsciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized what he had said and lowered his head to look away.

Lu Xinyan blushed as well, not daring to look at Su Jingxing again.

Their reaction clearly told Su Jingxing that they had a motive for saving him.

He fell down the mountain yet he did not sustain any injuries, and his body was still faintly glowing.

He was most likely a martial arts expert.

Saving a martial arts expert would definitely pay handsomely.

Of course, if Su Jingxing was a wanted criminal, Lu Xinyan and her brother might get implicated if they saved him.

However, such matters were filled with luck to begin with. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, both had an equal chance.

Especially with the trouble they were currently in, it was worth a gamble.

From the looks of it, they had won the bet!

…

Su Jingxing took in their reactions, but he wasn't angry.

It was even better if he had a motive for saving him.

Glancing at the remaining five fellows who were so frightened that they were frozen, Su Jingxing asked calmly, "Do you owe them a lot of money?"

"Y-Yes."

Lu Xinyan swallowed and replied, "Mas… Master Nine tricked my father and got him addicted to gambling. In less than a week, he lost five million dollars. My father couldn't take it anymore and committed s*icide by jumping off a building. Master Nine wants us to repay the debt, and he wanted this supermarket as well. The deadline is a month. If we can't repay the money within a month…"

Lu Xinyan did not finish her sentence, but everyone knew what the consequences would be.

The supermarket being taken away was secondary. The problem was whether the siblings could continue to live in good condition.

This was also why Lu Xinyan and her brother decided to take a gamble when they saw Su Jingxing falling down the mountain without any injuries on their way back from the functional town where they went to borrow money from relatives.

Master Nine was a local despot and was quite powerful. He was in the seventh-grade.

Su Jingxing's realm was clearly way above the seventh-grade. If Su Jingxing was willing to help, then the trouble Master Nine had given them would no longer be trouble.

On this point, the Lu siblings were filled with anxiety.

Su Jingxing remained calm and said coolly, "Five million Great Yu dollars, is it? I'll pay for it for you."

"Huh?" Lu Xincheng opened his mouth wide and stuttered happily, "Re… really?"

"Of course."

Su Jingxing said calmly, "It's a fact that you saved me. I'll help you resolve your troubles and we'll call it even afterward. But…"

"But what is it? Feel free to speak," said Lu Xincheng quickly. "As long as we can do it, we will definitely do our best."

"Brother…"

"Shut up." Lu Xincheng reached out and interrupted Lu Xinyan.

Seeing this, Su Jingxing smiled. "Don't be nervous. I don't have any other conditions. I just want to tell you that I can also help you guys take care of that Master Nine.

"Pay off the five million dollars or take care of Master Nine. Which one do you choose?"

Choose one out of the two options?

There's such a good thing?

"Take care of Master Nine, of course!" Lu Xincheng blurted out in his joy.

Anyone who was not a fool would know what to choose.

Even if they do repay the five million dollars, Master Nine might not let them off just like that.

However, once Master Nine was dealt with, they would have nothing to worry about anymore.

Lu Xinyan nodded in joy and said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle. Thank you, Uncle."

"It won't be too late to thank me after I've dealt with him."

Su Jingxing replied coolly. As he spoke, he looked at the five angry and terrified men and asked, "Call Master Nine and tell him that the siblings have gathered enough money. Where can we find him to return it?"

"Yes, yes." A man with long hair took out his phone with trembling hands and dialed a number.

"We're looking for Master Nine, not you," Su Jingxing added.

Afraid that the long-haired man wouldn't understand, Lu Xincheng said bluntly, "We're all smart people. After the call gets through, I'm sure you know what to say, right?"

"I do, I do." The long-haired man didn't dare to cause trouble and hurriedly nodded.

After the call went through, he cooperatively only said that Lu Xinyan and her brother had already raised the money and asked where to return it.

After hanging up, he bowed and smiled apologetically at Su Jingxing. "Mas… Master Nine said to bring them to Ding Shang to return the money. He is there now."

"Very good."

Su Jingxing replied coolly, "Let's go. To Ding Shang!"

"Let's go, let's go, to Ding Shang!"

Lu Xincheng's face was full of excitement. He first moved the unconscious buzz-cut man to the street, then closed the supermarket with Lu Xinyan.

Led by the long-haired man and company, the group headed straight for Ding Shang.

Master Nine's real name was Jiang Jiuyang, and Ding Shang was a club.

The city where Lu Xinyan, Lu Xincheng, Jiang Jiuyang, and the others were in was called Anyang City. It had a population of more than eight million and belonged to the Dahong Prefecture.

Jiang Jiuyang was a seventh-grade martial artist and was quite famous on New Industry Street in the Eastern District of Anyang City.

The Ding Shang Club was located at the end of New Industry Street. The surroundings were quiet and peaceful, and there was not much human traffic.

Jiang Jiuyang had made friends with many influential people through Ding Shang, and he had great connections.

But since Su Jingxing wanted to mess with him, he gave no hoots about his connections.

The group arrived at Ding Shang. With the long-haired man and company leading the way, they did not encounter any obstructions.

When they saw Jiang Jiuyang, this seventh-grade martial artist who had almost destroyed Lu Xinyan and Lu Xincheng's family, was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and was savoring his wine with a high-end aura.

"Miss Lu, have you really thought it through?"

Jiang Jiuyang ignored the others. Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, he looked at Lu Xinyan and said gently, "Being with me is more than ten times better than working day and night at a supermarket. Are you sure you want to give up just like that?"

Lu Xinyan did not respond. She turned to look at Su Jingxing, who had restrained his aura to the extreme.

Lu Xincheng kept silent as well and also looked at Su Jingxing, whose presence was almost non-existent.

The five others lowered their heads and trembled slightly.

"Why…"

"Master Nine, we've captured them!"

A loud shout interrupted the puzzled Jiang Jiuyang.

A young man with a hostile aura quickly walked in through the open door.

Behind him were seven to eight burly men.

These burly men held a man and a woman who were tied up and had cloth stuffed in their mouths.

Thump! Thump!

With a dull thud, the man and woman were thrown to the ground and the cloths in their mouths were removed.

The door of the private room also closed at the right time, isolating the sound.

"Please spare us, Master Nine. Please spare us. We were wrong, we were wrong."

The man in his forties with his body tied up was lying on the ground, curled up and twisting. He shouted at Jiang Jiuyang, "I was wrong, I was really wrong. Master Nine, give us a chance. I will definitely repay the money as soon as possible. Three days, no, one day! As long as you give me one day, I will be able to raise the money. Master Nine, I beg you, I beg you!"

The man cried out in fear, his face covered in tears and snot.

The woman did not shout. She only curled up and trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Lu Xinyan's face turned pale. She took a few steps back and shuffled closer to Su Jingxing.

Lu Xincheng swallowed his saliva and also moved closer to Su Jingxing.

"Miss Lu, Brother Lu, let me introduce. Just like you, these two owe me millions."

Jiang Jiuyang sipped his wine and said slowly, "The difference is that they chose to escape. They thought that if they escaped, they wouldn't have to pay up. Now that I've captured them, how do you think I should punish them?"

Lu Xinyan lowered her head and Lu Xincheng kept silent.

Su Jingxing watched the show.

"You have nothing to say?"

Jiang Jiuyang took a sip of wine and shifted his gaze. He sized up the crying man with a smile. "Look, Brother Lu and Miss Lu have nothing to say to you. Do you think you can escape punishment by admitting your mistake?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The man groveled on the ground and hit his forehead hard. "Master Nine, I was wrong, I was wrong."

"Since you're wrong, you have to accept your punishment."

Jiang Jiuyang raised his hand indifferently and calculated. "I won't make things difficult for you. How about this? Your family owes me a total of six million Great Yu dollars. One arm or one leg for a million dollars. That's eight million dollars with all of your limbs. It's up to you to decide which arm or leg to give up."

"No, no, no, I was wrong, Master Nine, I was wrong." The man was trembling all over. Tears streamed down his face as he cried, "Master Nine, I was really wrong. Give me a chance, give me a chance…"

The woman was even more direct. She slumped to the ground in fear.

"Why? You don't know how to choose?"

Jiang Jiuyang acted as if he was unaware and said in surprise, "Alright, I'll help you. You can pay the first million with your left hand."

With that, he waved his hand and gestured for his subordinates to get to work.

Two burly men immediately stepped forward, grabbed the man's legs, and dragged him to the washroom in the private room.

"No, no, no!"

The man screamed in fear.

"I think, about this chopping off arms and legs, shouldn't we find someone to try it out on and familiarize ourselves with this technique first?" said Su Jingxing coolly, his voice echoing in the room.

Swish!

Jiang Jiuyang suddenly looked over.

The young man with a hostile aura and a group of burly men followed closely behind and looked at Su Jingxing.

Lu Xinyan and Lu Xincheng froze on the spot.

The long-haired man and company were trembling all over and groaning inwardly.

It's coming, it's coming, it's starting.

Su Jingxing, who had been quiet all this while, was finally about to make a move!

"Who are you?"

Jiang Jiuyang's gaze was like a torch as he stared fixedly at Su Jingxing. He raised his hand and gestured for the two people dragging the man by his feet towards the washroom to let go of the screaming man. Together with the other burly men, they surrounded Su Jingxing.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I'm here to return the money for Lu Xinyan and her brother."

Su Jingxing took two steps forward and stared at Jiang Jiuyang from behind the two burly men. He chuckled and said, "The siblings owe you five million dollars. According to what you said, one arm or one leg will offset a million dollars, right?"

"…Yes."

Jiang Jiuyang's eyes flickered. "Why? Are you going to pay for them?"

"Of course."

Su Jingxing clapped his hands and sent the two burly men who were blocking his way flying to the sides and crashing into the walls.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

His body swayed and he drifted.

Su Jingxing arrived beside Jiang Jiuyang at lightning speed. With two pops, he tore off Jiang Jiuyang's arms and threw them into the air.

Before the arms landed on the ground, he quickly stomped on Jiang Jiuyang's thighs. With two bangs, they exploded.

In less than two seconds, Jiang Jiuyang's four limbs were destroyed. He fell to the ground in a daze.

It wasn't that he had lost consciousness, but that everything had happened too fast and he couldn't react in time.

When Lu Xinyan snapped back to her senses and let out a scream of shock, everyone, including Jiang Jiuyang, then snapped out of their daze.

"Ah!"

Jiang Jiuyang's miserable cries resounded through the private room. The heart-wrenching pain was killing him.

The others were extremely shocked and all stepped back.

They looked at Su Jingxing with nothing but fear.

Too fast.

Unbelievably fast.

The seventh-grade Jiang Jiuyang actually lost his arms and legs without noticing anything.

Who is this person? What ghostly speed was that?

"You're courting death!"

In his shock, the young man with a hostile aura rushed towards Su Jingxing with red eyes.

A short sword appeared in his hand. In a flash, the young man pounced towards Su Jingxing with his footwork.

"Yes, I'm still short of two million."

Su Jingxing dodged easily. He grabbed the young man's right arm, and pulled it off.

Then, he kicked his right leg, causing it to explode.

The young man who had lost an arm and a leg fell to the ground. His face was deathly pale. He gritted his teeth, his body trembled, yet he refused to scream.

"Now I have everything."

Su Jingxing clapped his hands and glanced at the others.

The five long-haired men and the group of burly men had no intention of resisting. Thud, thud. They dropped to their knees on the ground, trembling and not daring to make a sound.

Lu Xinyan and Lu Xincheng gaped in shock.

That's it?

It was settled so easily?

The man and woman who were still tied up were also wide-eyed with disbelief.

Saved?

They were saved?

"Ah! Haha, hahaha…" The man's bitter laugh slowly turned into loud, manic laughter. "Hahahaha, Jiang Jiuyang, it's your turn to fall today, it's your turn to fall today!"

Jiang Jiuyang, whose limbs were crippled and looked like a human stick, was completely finished.

Without his limbs, Jiang Jiuyang would live a life worse than death.

Putting him in this tragic state was even more satisfying than killing him.

"Hahahaha!"

The man burst out laughing non-stop.

"Kill them! Kill them!" Jiang Jiuyang howled crazily.

Hmm?

Su Jingxing sensed something amiss and turned to look at Jiang Jiuyang.

In the next moment, he turned to the young man who was shrouded in a hostile aura.

The young man pulled out a remote control with his left hand and pressed it hard.

Badump!

Su Jingxing heard a powerful heartbeat.

Not only was the heartbeat strong, it was also rather familiar.

It seemed like…

Boom!

With a loud bang, the wall on the right side of the room suddenly exploded. Bricks and stones flew everywhere as a tall and burly figure rushed out and pounced at Su Jingxing.

Swish!

Cold blade light tore through the air and illuminated everyone's eyes in the room.

The invisible and boundless might was like a huge rock that weighed down on everyone's hearts. Breathing was difficult.

Su Jingxing, who was the first to bear the brunt, bore the most weight.

However——

Hu~

Bang!

Strong winds swept, and muffled thunder-like sounds reverberated.

The burly figure flew out diagonally the same way it rushed towards Su Jingxing, crashing into the wall connected to the corridor outside the room?

With a loud bang, a huge hole appeared in the wall on the other side of the corridor.

Screams and shrieks came from every corner of the club at once.

The panicked crowd was running around in a mess.

Ignoring the stunned Jiang Jiuyang, Lu Xinyan, and the others, Su Jingxing walked out of the room through the gap in the wall and came to the room on the other side. He stood beside the burly figure covered in broken stones.

It was nearly four meters tall, covered from head to toe in mechanical battle armor. Sharp weapons were installed on its arms, palms, calves, feet, head, and other key parts. There was a clear mark on its chest.

Su Jingxing had seen several identical ones in Qinghe City.

That's right, the burly figure who rushed out from the room next door and attacked him, only to be sent flying by Su Jingxing's kick and killed on impact was actually a barbarian warrior.

A barbarian warrior wearing a mechanical battle armor!

Su Jingxing lifted its mask and stared at the rough and fierce-looking barbarian. He frowned hard.

Jiang Jiuyang actually hid a barbarian warrior.

The young man with the hostile aura even carried the switch of this barbarian warrior with him.

He had merely helped a pair of ordinary siblings who had saved him, but he had unexpectedly discovered something important that he had almost forgotten.

Barbarians!

Back then, Su Jingxing didn't investigate the mastermind behind the barbarian warriors causing a commotion in Qinghe City. No one knew about the mysterious boss behind the scenes who made the barbarians dressed in battle armor and the team that controlled them.

After the Martial Suppression Office took over, Su Jingxing no longer paid attention to the matter.

To think that there were barbarian warriors who looked exactly the same in Anyang City.

If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Jiuyang's limbs were crippled and he wanted revenge in his madness, Su Jingxing really wouldn't have known that there was an unactivated barbarian warrior hidden next door.

For barbarian warriors whose breathing and heartbeat were "frozen", it was almost impossible to discover them, be it through secret abilities or perception.

If Jiang Jiuyang had one, the faction behind him would definitely have more barbarian warriors in their control!

"Who exactly is this mysterious big boss?"

"There are setups in Qinghe City, Anyang City. Does that mean the same in the other cities in the Yu Nation?"

Su Jingxing's interest was piqued.

Regardless of what motives this mysterious boss had, Su Jingxing now had his sights on him.

"Quick, quick, quick. Keep an eye on everyone. No one is allowed to leave!"

A calm shout came from outside.

Accompanied by a series of messy footsteps.

The next moment, a group of soldiers and generals from the Anyang City's Martial Suppression Office rushed into two private rooms under the orders of the commander.

"Don't move!"

"Don't move!"

A row of black muzzles were aimed at Su Jingxing.

Su Jingxing said calmly, "Please get your Commander of City Governance to make a trip here."

"I'm Dai Shizhong, Chief of Control of Anyang City's Martial Suppression Office Eastern District branch. May I know who you are?"

A muscular man in his thirties with a cold aura and a strong killing intent stared at Su Jingxing with shining eyes and questioned in a deep voice.

Su Jingxing did not respond. He only moved aside slightly, revealing the barbarian warrior's battle armor and appearance.

"Sir, you…"

Dai Shizhong wanted to say something, but his gaze suddenly froze. He stared at the barbarian warrior and said in shock, "He… he…"

"That's right, he's a barbarian."

Barbarian!

It was just one word, but the meaning it held was extraordinary.

Especially when this barbarian was wearing mechanical battle armor.

The battle armor was well equipped with firearms and cold weapons.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call such barbarian warriors killing machines.

Yet one had appeared in Anyang City!

This is serious…

Cold sweat rolled down Dai Shizhong's forehead, and his expression turned grim.

When he took another look at the barbarian warrior, and saw the deep mark on the chest of the mechanical battle armor, his eyelids twitched hard.

One strike to kill a fully armed barbarian warrior!

Dai Shizhong did not possess such terrifying strength at all.

In other words, Su Jingxing was at least a fifth-grade or even fourth-grade expert!

Gulp!

Swallowing his saliva, Dai Shizhong suppressed the shock and astonishment in his heart and humbled himself. "Thank you for killing this barbarian in time, Senior."

Su Jingxing looked to be in his forties or fifties and was a fifth-grade or even fourth-grade expert.

Dai Shizhong no longer dared to be arrogant and quickly addressed him as "Senior".

As for his gratitude, it was also sincere.

If this barbarian warrior were to run out of the club and start a massacre on the streets, countless people would die.

The Eastern District was his area of responsibility. When there were deaths, Dai Shizhong would shoulder the greatest responsibility.

When the barbarian warrior appeared, Su Jingxing quickly killed him. It was equivalent to helping him resolve a big problem. Dai Shizhong was sincerely grateful.

"Senior, please wait a moment. I'll contact the Commander now."

As Dai Shizhong spoke, he took a few steps back, took out his phone, and called the Anyang City's Commander of City Governance.

He gestured for his soldiers and generals to put away their weapons and guns.

Inwardly, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Su Jingxing had a great attitude.

If it were any other fifth-grade or fourth-grade expert, they would most likely have gotten angry and cripple the person if someone had pointed a gun at them.

Firearms were a threat to martial artists in the lower ranks, but they were very limited to martial artists in the middle ranks.

Given Su Jingxing's ability to kill the barbarian warrior in one strike, if he really wanted to make a move, all the soldiers and generals in the room would collapse in a single round.

With this in mind, Dai Shizhong broke out in cold sweat. He exhaled and reported the situation to the Commander of City Governance who had picked up.

"Commander, something has happened…"

…

Su Jingxing listened to the conversation between Dai Shizhong and the Commander of City Governance of Anyang for a while before stopping.

In comparison, the barbarian warrior was more attractive to him.

He squatted down and forcefully opened the battle armor to check the internal circuit structure.

He realized that the battle armor had already fused with the barbarian's flesh and blood.

In other words, from the moment the barbarian put on the battle armor, he could no longer take it off.

Once removed, it was equivalent to ripping out flesh and blood.

Apart from that, there was a large piece of metal connected to electronic circuits wrapped around the barbarian's heart.

The mastermind controlling the barbarian warrior was clearly using this metal piece.

Mm, it's quite advanced.

Su Jingxing stared at it and prepared to remove the metal piece.

[Card1]

The extraction notification suddenly sounded.

At the same time, exclamations and rebukes came from outside.

"What's going on?"

Su Jingxing stood up and asked curiously. Inwardly, it was clear as day to him.

Someone had died!

"It's Jiang Jiuyang. He was bitten to death."

Dai Shizhong, who had finished his call at the door and heard the shouts, replied before walking over quickly.

Su Jingxing followed behind and returned to the previous private room.

The first thing he saw when he walked in was a bloody hole in Jiang Jiuyang's neck. Large amounts of blood were gushing out.

His wide eyes were filled with indignation and resentment.

Not far from Jiang Jiuyang, the man whose limbs he had almost chopped off earlier had blood all over his mouth and face. He was panting and laughing miserably.

The lips of the two Martial Suppression Office soldiers holding him twitched.

"Just now… just now, after the soldiers untied the couple, this man suddenly pounced over, grabbed Jiang Jiuyang, and bit and broke his neck."

Lu Xincheng leaned close to Su Jingxing and explained in a low voice.

Fear appeared in his eyes as he looked at the man whose face was covered in blood.

To forcefully bite and break Jiang Jiuyang's neck, this fellow was also a f*cking lunatic.

Given Jiang Jiuyang's tragic state earlier, living the rest of his life would be nothing but torture.

Now that the man had bitten him to death, he had instead freed Jiang Jiuyang, even though Lu Xincheng also wished Jiang Jiuyang would die.

Of course.

Dai Shizhong was the one with the biggest headache now.

He looked depressed and angry. Speechless, he glanced at the man whose face was covered in blood. He turned to the surrounding soldiers and scolded irritably, "Didn't you guys eat lunch? You can't even keep an eye on an ordinary person?"

He needed Jiang Jiuyang alive to get information from him.

Now that he was bitten to death, who was he supposed to ask?

The soldiers lowered their heads in shame.

They were also a little angry, but Jiang Jiuyang was already dead. Everything they said would be useless. They could only remain silent.

Su Jingxing remained silent.

He reached into his pocket with his right hand and silently took out the last two cards he had extracted.

One came from the corpse of the barbarian warrior, and the other from Jiang Jiuyang's corpse.

He held the cards and read the descriptions.

As expected, the barbarian warrior gave a Martial Arts Practice Card with five years of practice time.

Jiang Jiuyang's was a Memory Card containing ten years of memories.

Although it was only ten years, Su Jingxing quietly unlocked it. After quickly browsing through these memories, he praised this fellow inwardly.

Jiang Jiuyang's faction and backer not only had more barbarian warriors in their control, they also kept the barbarian warrior reserves at home.

This move was too ruthless.

Su Jingxing was sincerely impressed by the other party's boldness and meticulousness.

…

"The Commander is here!"

"Greetings, Commander!"

"Greetings, Commander!"

A series of shouts came from outside the room.

The furious Dai Shizhong perked up and looked at the door.

Su Jingxing also stopped thinking and turned to look.

Before long, a muscular man who was nearly two meters tall with a fierce aura and a bare head walked into the room with thumping footsteps.

"Greetings, Commander!"

"Greetings, Commander!"

Dai Shizhong and his subordinates shouted respectfully at the bald man.

"Senior, this is Commander Teng Hejing, the Commander of City Governance of the Martial Suppression Office."

Dai Shizhong introduced him to Su Jingxing.

Then, he also introduced Su Jingxing to Teng Hejing. "Commander, this senior is the one who discovered and killed the barbarian warrior in good time."

"Mm."

As soon as the burly and imposing Teng Hejing entered the private room, Lu Xinyan and Lu Xincheng shrank their necks and retreated to a corner, not daring to make a sound.

The man who had bitten Jiang Jiuyang to death and his wife also kept absolutely silent.

Teng Hejing's aura was too dense and domineering.

Without any restraint, he was like a ferocious tiger that strode down the mountain, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws

Even though they were standing still, their hearts and bodies were trembling.

But this did not affect Su Jingxing at all.

Teng Hejing's physique was indeed very strong. Clearly, he had cultivated a special body-tempering martial art.

With such physique, the strength of his blood and Qi alone could rival a sixth-grade martial artist.

Perhaps, like Su Jingxing previously, he had reached the limits of the human body!

"Commander Teng, what do you think of the barbarian warrior's corpse?"

Without any pleasantries, Su Jingxing went straight to the point.

Teng Hejing did not answer immediately. Instead, he first examined Jiang Jiuyang's corpse. Then, he waved at Dai Shizhong and ordered calmly, "Bring everyone out of the club first."

"Yes," replied Dai Shizhong respectfully. He instructed his soldiers and generals to bring the Xin siblings, the man and his wife who had escaped death as well as Jiang Jiuyang's subordinates away.

Everyone left the club.

Teng Hejing faced Su Jingxing and cupped his fists respectfully. "May I ask if you are in the third-grade, Senior?"

"So what if I am, and so what if I'm not?" Su Jingxing smiled calmly.

"If you aren't a third-grade martial artist, then the only way for me to deal with the barbarian warrior's corpse is to incinerate it. The matter of Jiang Jiuyang hiding a barbarian will be filed away," Teng Hejing replied rigidly.

Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows. "And if I am one?"

"If you are a third-grade martial artist, I would like to be so bold as to ask you for a favor," said Teng Hejing respectfully.

Su Jingxing narrowed his eyes. "What favor?"

"To get rid of a lair of scourges in Anyang City," Teng Hejing replied calmly. "To be honest, this isn't the first time I've discovered barbarian corpses in the city. Before this, I've already seen two of them. They were both wearing mechanical battle armor and were fully equipped when they were alive. The person controlling them is as powerful as Jiang Jiuyang. Their organizations aren't small nor big, but they both have a certain amount of areas they manage."

"And then?" asked Su Jingxing coolly.

"It's extraordinary for barbarian warriors to be wearing mechanical battle armor to begin with. The appearance of one such case is shocking enough, let alone two. Including this time, there are three cases. As for those hiding in the dark, I don't know how many there are.

"As the Commander of City Governance of Anyang City's Martial Suppression Office, I began an investigation immediately after discovering these matters. I didn't do it openly, but secretly. In the end, I discovered that including Jiang Jiuyang, everything behind the scenes all point to a faction.

"The Jia Family!"

"The Jia Family is a local martial arts family with a legacy of more than 200 years. They are deeply rooted in Anyang City and are involved in various industries. They are powerful and influential.

"Let's not talk about the things in secret. On the surface alone, the Jia Family has four fourth-grade experts and as many as 20 fifth-grade ones.

"The background of the barbarian warriors' issue pointed to the Jia Family behind the scenes, so all the more I didn't dare to act rashly. I only reported the incident on the surface and continued to investigate in secret. In the end, I discovered that the Jia Family was related to a certain faction in the capital. Or rather, the Jia Family was controlled by a large faction in the capital.

"In order to support the Jia Family to hold down the fort in Anyang City, the faction in the capital sent a third-grade expert over.

"The favor I want to ask from you is to hold back this third-grade expert!"

Teng Hejing stared at Su Jingxing with burning eyes.

Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Be more specific."

"Alright." Teng Hejing nodded and said seriously, "After many explorations, deductions, and investigations, I've obtained shocking news. The Jia Family has more barbarian warriors hidden in their manor, not outside the city, but in the Jia Family's residence in the north of the city!

"Hiding barbarian warriors in the city. No matter what schemes the Jia Family has, they are a huge danger. In order to get rid of this danger, I moved around in the dark for a long time and successfully surrounded the Jia Family's residence. I also invited the two generals of the Prefecture Army to cooperate with me.

"However, because there is a third-grade expert guarding the Jia Family's residence, the operation hasn't started even until today.

"Senior, if you're in the third-grade and are willing to help restrain this third-grade martial artist, I'm 80% sure that I can round up everyone else in the Jia Family's residence in one swoop!"

With that, Teng Hejing fixed his gaze on Su Jingxing.

Su Jingxing's expression remained unchanged.

Deep down, he was surprised.

That's right, Teng Hejing's investigation was very accurate.

Through Jiang Jiuyang's Memory Card, he learned that the Jia Family had indeed hidden barbarian warriors in their manor. Su Jingxing had even "seen" the exact location.

The Jia Family's influence and strength in Anyang City was equivalent to the Li Family in Qinghe City.

Teng Hejing actually wanted to get rid of them. He had to admit that he was truly gutsy and bold enough.

Compared to Li Linzhou, Teng Hejing's style was clearly more domineering.

"Since you've brought in the Prefecture Army, wouldn't it be better for you to get a commander to be in charge of restraining the third-grade expert from the capital?"

Su Jingxing analyzed calmly, "As long as the commander from the Prefecture Army sees through the Jia Family's conspiracy to harbor barbarians, no matter how powerful the Jia Family's backer is, the family will be abandoned."

"I want that too, but I'm not 100% confident."

Teng Hejing's expression did not change. He said calmly, "The Jia Family also has connections in the Prefecture Army. The two generals I found are my own connections. Strictly speaking, this is considered operating in private, so they are also bearing significant responsibility.

"Once the encirclement and suppression of the Jia Family fails, they will be expelled from the Prefecture Army. As for me, I might lose my life. No, I most probably will!"

Hearing this, Su Jingxing chuckled and sized up Teng Hejing. He said indifferently, "If you fail, you will die. But you still dare to crack down on the Jia Family? Or rather, are you, Teng Hejing, never afraid of death?"

"Who isn't afraid of death? But being afraid of death doesn't mean that you don't dare to take action."

Teng Hejing said in a deep voice, "Opportunities come with risks. If we succeed in encircling the Jia Family, I will also get a huge reward. At least a 50% chance of advancing to the third-grade!"

Got it.

This is a domineering person, a rational person, and a crazy person.

There was a 90% chance of dying if he failed, but if he succeeded, there was a 50% chance of advancing to the third-grade.

For the sake of the third-grade, the 80% chance of successfully annihilating the Jia Family was enough for him to take a gamble.

Of course, this probability was based on the premise that Su Jingxing was a third-grade martial artist and held back the third-grade expert in the Jia Family's residence.

If Su Jingxing didn't help, he wouldn't even have a 10% chance of success.

As for rashly confessing to Su Jingxing and asking for help, it was obvious that Teng Hejing had already studied Su Jingxing's background on his way here.

Lu Xinyan and her brother had rescued an expert who had fallen from the sky.

In order to repay the siblings, he took action to get rid of Jiang Jiuyang.

Finally, he killed the barbarian warrior who ambushed him and got someone to inform him to come over.

No matter where such a person came from or what his identity was, he could at least befriend him.

Of course, Teng Hejing also made a bet.

If he lost the bet, he would lose his life.

If Su Jingxing was related to the Jia Family, Teng Hejing would be courting death by saying these words.

However, if he won the bet, Teng Hejing would have a 50% chance of advancing to the third-grade.

For the third-grade, he would take the gamble!

Crazy!

At this thought, Su Jingxing did not say anything else. He only manifested his Martial Art True Intent, the Sishui Horned Dragon.

A materialized black horned dragon appeared in the air.

With a savage aura and a ferocious face, a snake-shaped body circled around Su Jingxing.

The terrifying pressure pushed out ripples in the air.

Like a mountain, it crashed down on Teng Hejing.

Teng Hejing was shocked and pleasantly surprised. With a thud, he half-kneeled on the ground. Suppressing the palpitations in his heart and the terrifying pressure on his body, he raised his neck, flushed red, and growled, "Thank you, Senior!"

Although Su Jingxing didn't say anything, his actions made clear his attitude.

He had agreed to encircle and annihilate the Jia Family!

Putting aside the fact that barbarians were mortal enemies of humanity, just the fact that there was a high chance of extracting Martial Arts Practice Cards from killing these barbarian warriors in mechanical battle armor alone was worth it for Su Jingxing to act.

As for the Jia Family with ill intentions, they were the least important.

If Teng Hejing destroyed the Jia Family, there was a 50% chance that he would advance to the third-grade.

Su Jingxing didn't care where this probability came from.

Teng Hejing most likely also had someone backing him.

…

Since Su Jingxing had agreed to help, Teng Hejing quickly took action.

In less than an hour, Su Jingxing arrived at the Jia Family's residence in the northern district of Anyang with Teng Hejing.

These martial arts families with a history of more than a hundred years not only had manors outside the city, they had also established their own small worlds in the city.

In ancient times, they would be residences. In modern times, it was an entire estate, luxurious villa estates at that.

"Are you sure everyone from the Jia Family is in the compound?"

On the rooftop of a seven-story building on the periphery of the Jia Family's residence, Su Jingxing looked at the compound from 400 to 500 meters away and asked Teng Hejing calmly.

"Most of them are."

Suppressing his excitement, Teng Hejing replied in a low voice, "The core members of the Jia Family rarely go out. Even when they do, my people are watching them in the dark. Before we took action, I had already confirmed that most of the upper echelons of the Jia Family are gathered in the residence. I've also informed those watching the remaining few. Once we take action here, they will follow suit elsewhere!"

"That's good." Su Jingxing nodded calmly.

"Senior, don't worry. My men and I have repeatedly deduced this operation no less than a hundred times. Even if there are fish that escaped the net, there won't be more than ten of them."

Teng Hejing promised, "As long as we find the barbarians and prove that the Jia Family is a traitor, everyone in the Jia Family will become wanted criminals and be hunted down all over the world!"

This was Teng Hejing's greatest source of confidence.

Barbarians and humans were mortal enemies.

No matter what the Jia Family was plotting, or what benefits they had received from the mysterious boss behind the scenes, as long as barbarians were found in the Jia Family's residence, they would be doomed.

All the human nations on Earth Star would have no room for them, let alone the Yu Nation!

At that time, what would the few fish that escaped the net be?

Su Jingxing naturally understood this logic.

Therefore, he did not mention it again and said calmly, "Let's begin then."

"Right away!"

Teng Hejing calmed his breathing, picked up the walkie-talkie, and ordered, "Everyone, get ready. Attack!"

A scene of peace.

Nothing happened in the sky or on the ground.

However, within the range of Su Jingxing's range, a ball of energy aura was quickly produced and surging in all directions of the Jia Family's residence.

"Who is it!"

"You are courting death!"

A furious shout came from the Jia Family's compound.

However, it was already too late——

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Blinding pillars of light suddenly appeared from four directions in the Jia Family's residence.

It was an intense white light that burst out from the ground, piercing through the ground and into the sky.

Like a white rainbow that pierced through the sun, they towered into the sky.

Then, at lightning speed, the light pillars connected with each other, forming a curtain that firmly trapped the Jia Family's residence.

The building that Su Jingxing and Teng Hejing were in happened to be just outside the light barrier.

Through the translucent light barrier, one figure after another appeared darting around in the Jia Family's compound.

An array formation!

A trapping array formation that charged into the sky and surrounded the Jia Family's residence and isolated it for 400 meters all around.

In the array formation, almost no one other than third-grade martial artists could fly into the air and escape.

Fourth-grade martial artists could indeed fly with the help of lightness skills, but it was still rare for them to reach more than a thousand meters in the air.

And…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of walls collapsing or breaking suddenly sounded.

Under Su Jingxing's astonished gaze, cannons, machine guns, and rocket launchers protruded from the buildings outside the Jia Family's residence.

The exits of these firearms were all pointed at the Jia Family's compound and the air.

Su Jingxing quickly sensed around and realized that no one was controlling them. Instead, they were being controlled automatically or remotely.

Setting up these firearms outside the Jia Family's residence right under the nose of the Jia Family, Teng Hejing is impressive!

First, he trapped the Jia Family members in the array formation, preventing them from leaving. Then, he would bombard them with firearms.

If the plan failed, the overwhelming public opinion would drown Teng Hejing.

No matter how strong his backer is, he would have to kill himself to apologize.

This fellow is indeed a lunatic!

…

"Fire!"

As Su Jingxing sighed, Teng Hejing, whose face was flushed red and eyes filled with excitement, ordered an attack.

In an instant——

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The cannons lit up and the bombs were thrown into the air.

Huge fireworks fell into the Jia Family's courtyard and bloomed, destroying buildings and killing the Jia Family members.

Screams, shrieks, and angry roars came from the residence.

Dust billowed and flames soared into the sky.

"Teng Hejing!"

A figure shrouded in light soared into the sky from the ruins and swung his fist at the array formation's light barrier. He roared at Teng Hejing, "Teng Hejing! I'll take your life!"

"Hahaha!"

Teng Hejing laughed out loud. "Jia Shangshu, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to do that."

"Fire!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening explosions sounded once more.

Cannonballs flew out from the barrels and rocket launchers and landed in the Jia Family's compound.

"Go to hell!"

"B*stard!"

The Jia Family's experts reacted by punching, slashing, swinging, and drawing their swords, detonating the shells in midair.

Some people even rushed out of the Jia Family's compound and pounced towards the building where the firearms were set up.

Da da da!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The sound of air tearing sounded at the same time as the sound of heavy machine guns.

Densely packed bullets blocked the routes and stopped the Jia Family martial artists from coming close.

Some were shot on the spot and fell to the ground with heavy injuries, while others endured it and forcefully charged over.

But the moment they got close——

Boom!

The ground shook, and the flames were like dragons.

The building where the firearms were located turned into ruins with a loud bang.

Many of the Jia Family's martial artists who rushed over were injured and killed.

"Ahhh!"

The Patriarch, Jia Shangshu, roared hysterically when he saw this.

"Teng Hejing! I want you dead! I want you dead!!"

Boom!

As he roared, Jia Shangshu's body shone brightly. He circulated his true energy crazily and charged into the sky.

Buzz!

The empty air shook.

At this moment, a thin figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the Jia Family's compound.

"You stay. I'll take care of Teng Hejing!"

Swish!

Without waiting for Jia Shangshu's reply, the thin figure soared into the sky.

Jia Shangshu expended a lot of true energy to fly into the air.

However, not a trace of true energy leaked out from the thin figure. On the contrary, worldly energy spiraled and danced around him.

A faintly discernible shadow of a hungry wolf seemed to overlap with the thin figure and dispersed the airflow.

It easily carried a body and soared into the sky like a rocket.

"It's the third-grade expert guarding the Jia Family!"

Teng Hejing's pupils constricted. He quickly turned to look at Su Jingxing. "Sen…"

Before he could say "Senior", he froze on the spot.

Because Su Jingxing was gone.

Teng Hejing didn't know when he had disappeared either.

He hasn't esca…

Boom!

A clap of thunder suddenly came from the sky, and the sound of muffled thunder echoed through the world.

Crack! Crack!

Boom!

The stunned Teng Hejing looked up and saw a thick bolt of lightning shooting through the air above the array formation. Like a giant python, it bent and refracted from top to bottom, striking a figure.

The thin figure possessed by the wolf phantom shuddered and fell from the sky.

The worldly energy wrapped around him was dispersed, and the overlapping shadows of the hungry wolves were instantly shattered.

Su Jingxing stood on Thunderbolt and floated in the air. He looked down at an old man who wanted to rush into the air and leave the trapping array formation.

Thunderbolt released the power as a spirit weapon and struck the old man. It wasn't over yet.

A third-grade martial artist would not die so easily.

Su Jingxing was already prepared. After the lightning struck, his true essence surged and wrapped around his fist. He aimed at the old man and threw the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist.

He released a hundred years of true essence cultivation!

Once a hundred years of true essence cultivation erupted, the terrifying power produced would continuously stack as the attack swooped down.

During the stacking process, it shattered all the air and plowed a vacuum in the air.

The old man who had just been struck by lightning suddenly tensed up. His eyes lit up as he roared.

A hungry wolf materialized and left his body to float above his head.

His true essence was like water, sticking to his body and forming the appearance of an armor.

Stopping in midair, the old man unleashed his aura and shouted as if venting his anger.

But…

Bang!

The fist imprint that almost shattered everything landed, and the Martial Art True Intent of the hungry wolf that appeared exploded on the spot.

His protective true essence that suffered the second wave of attacks also failed to hold on and was also broken in a second.

The fist imprint that still carried terrifying power struck the old man's chest.

Countless beams of energy shot out, and the old man's chest caved in. Blood splattered and the crisp sound of bones breaking echoed through the air.

However, the fist imprint that swooped down did not dissipate just like that. Instead, it continued to bombard until it pierced through the old man's body. Only then did the remaining force land in the Jia Family's residence with inertia, blowing up a building and causing the ground to collapse.

Dust, debris, and broken rocks flew above the ruins.

Strong winds blew and energy stirred.

The sky and ground were dead silent.

Jia Shangshu was stunned.

Everyone in the Jia Family was dumbfounded.

No one shouted anymore. They were either lying down, standing, or lying down. They forgot about the pain in their bodies and gaped at the old man's corpse that was slowly descended from the sky.

A stiff corpse with a huge hole in its chest and back!

Dead…

The old man from the capital, a third-grade expert, died just like that.

His Martial Art True Intent was shattered by a single punch, his protective true essence was broken, and his body was penetrated!

Who is it?

Who exactly is this figure floating in the sky?!

Jia Shangshu was shocked and terrified.

Teng Hejing, on the other hand, was extremely excited. He laughed loudly in his excitement. "Hahaha, everyone, listen up. Enter the array formation to kill the enemy. Go!"

Swoosh!

The sound of rushing wind could be heard.

Teng Hejing was the first to rush into the array formation and attack Jia Shangshu.

Wearing a jade pendant on his waist, he was like a fish jumping into water when he passed through the light barrier of the array formation that connected ground and sky.

A glow appeared on the surface of the jade pendant. It wrapped around his body and he easily passed through the light barrier.

"Kill!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Behind him, the experts from the Martial Suppression Office and the Prefecture Army entered the array formation with similar jade pendants.

On one side, morale and fighting spirit was high.

The other side was terrified and their morale was nearly non-existent.

As soon as the battle began, it was one-sided.

The members of the Jia Family were forced to retreat step by step. Pleading and miserable cries sounded non-stop.

The people from the Martial Suppression Office and the Prefecture Army swung their blades and punched out, creating bloody paths.

Soon, the battle ended.

The ground and ruins of the Jia Family's compound were covered in blood. Dead people were everywhere.

Jia Shangshu, whose face was as pale as a sheet and had lost a hand, lay in a pool of blood, laughing bitterly.

"Teng Hejing, you're ruthless. You destroyed my Jia Family today, but you'll still die tomorrow! Hahaha…" Jia Shangshu laughed weakly.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. Not only will I not die, I'll live even better and advance step by step to the third-grade."

Teng Hejing stepped on Jia Shangshu's chest and grinned.

Then, he raised his head and looked around. He shouted, "Today, the Jia Family has betrayed humanity and colluded with the barbarians. They tried to wreak havoc in Anyang and harm the citizens of the Yu Nation. They have committed a heinous crime that cannot be forgiven! As a member of the Anyang Martial Suppression Office, I, Teng Hejing, am willing to work for the people of the city and annihilate the Jia Family to recover the peace of the Yu Nation and the integrity of humanity!"

Whoosh!

The other people from the Martial Suppression Office and the Prefecture Army followed suit.

In the sky, Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows.

The commotion in the Jia Family's compound was huge.

Pillars of light shooting into the sky, cannons, and screams.

It was impossible for the people from the other factions in Anyang City not to pay attention.

At this moment, hundreds of people had gathered around the Jia Family's residence.

They were all representatives of the major factions, either openly or secretly, and were looking in the direction of the Jia Family's residence.

Teng Hejing's words clarified his motive for this operation.

It was not a random massacre, nor was it over a grudge.

Instead, it was to find traitors of humanity!

To put it bluntly, it was a righteous cause!

…

"Heh! Heh! Hahaha…"

When Minister Jia heard this, he smiled weakly and said, "My… my Jia Family colluded with the barbarians. Where's… the evidence? Teng Hejing, where's the evidence!"

The other members of the Jia Family who had either surrendered or were severely injured were stunned. Then, they followed closely behind and shouted angrily.

"Teng Hejing, where's the evidence!"

"Teng Hejing, where is the evidence that we colluded with the barbarians?!"

"Without evidence, you are framing and plotting to persecute the good and loyal!"

"Teng Hejing, you destroyed the Jia Family for a personal grudge today. We admit that we are weaker than you, but tomorrow, everyone in the world will remember your ugly face. Even if you die, you will be condemned by posterity!"

"Teng Hejing, you will die a horrible death!"

"…"

The aggrieved and furious roars of the Jia Family grew louder and louder.

Outside the manor, the expressions of the people from the major factions in Anyang City differed when they heard this.

"Haha!"

When Teng Hejing heard this, he raised his head and laughed out loud. "Evidence, is it? I'll show you!"

"Men, dig out the hidden barbarians!"

"Yes…" The group of Martial Suppression Office members received the order and quickly dispersed to search for the barbarians.

However…

"Bad news, Commander. The barbarians… the barbarians have disappeared."

What?

Teng Hejing's expression changed drastically.

"What do you mean they all disappeared?"

Suppressing his shock and anger, Teng Hejing growled lowly, "Didn't we lock onto the barbarians' hiding place long ago?

"Even if the Jia fellow secretly moved them, they must still be in the manor!

"Search! Dig three feet into the ground and search carefully!

"Those barbarians must still be in the manor!"

Teng Hejing ordered, his voice echoing in the ears of his subordinates.

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

The Martial Suppression Office members calmed themselves down and spread out to search inch-by-inch.

But the outcome was far from reassuring.

It was either "nothing", "no discoveries", or "we can't find them".

They searched everywhere in the huge Jia Family manor, but there were no signs of the barbarians.

Teng Hejing's expression turned uglier and uglier.

Relying on his past prestige, he could hold things down for a while.

However, if he ultimately failed to find the barbarians, he would be dead meat.

The Jia Family's backer's wouldn't need to make a move, the Martial Suppression Office's headquarters would cripple him.

Moving guns and cannons into the city and besieging a martial arts family with a legacy of more than a hundred years for no reason, causing the entire city to panic.

Teng Hejing could not bear this responsibility, but his backer could. However, the Yu Nation was not theirs to decide.

Without evidence, Teng Hejing would only be abandoned.

What should I do?

"Hahaha…"

A weak but carefree voice sounded. Jia Shangshu endured the pain in his body and laughed excitedly. "Teng Hejing, where's the evidence? You slandered the Jia Family for colluding with the barbarians. Where's the evidence? Without evidence, you destroyed the Jia Family. You are dead meat! You and your people are dead meat! Your entire family will die with us! Hahaha…"

Teng Hejing's face was ashen. He gritted his teeth and remained silent.

If he couldn't find any barbarians, everything he said would be useless.

It was 100% certain that there were barbarians in the Jia Family's manor. There were many of them.

Even if the Jia Family had secretly moved them, it was impossible for them to do so completely at once.

They must still be here!

However, the problem was that Teng Hejing did not have that much time to search slowly.

If they did not find them before nightfall, the faction behind the Jia Family would come knocking on their door.

At that time…

Boom!

A thunderclap suddenly erupted in the sky.

A sword pillar wrapped in lightning spun through the air and descended from the sky.

Before anyone could react, it struck a training ground in the northwest corner of the Jia Family's manor.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sword beam was like a blazing sun, and the sword energy was sharp.

Amidst the intense trembling, the sword pillar tore through the ground and burrowed into the ground like a high frequency electric drill.

When the electric arcs stopped and the light dissipated, the sword pillar turned into a stream of light and flew back into the horizon.

A hole about five meters in diameter was left behind. The walls were smooth and more than a hundred meters deep.

A hundred meters below, a corner of a spacious underground space that was flickering with electric sparks and electric arcs appeared.

"Commander Teng, go down and see if the barbarians are inside."

A calm voice sounded. Su Jingxing stepped in the empty air and walked down step by step.

"Good… good!"

Teng Hejing came back to his senses with a stammer. He took a deep breath, threw Jia Shangshu aside with an excited expression, and leaped into the air, pouncing towards the training ground.

"How… how is this possible…"

Jia Shangshu's face was pale, and his eyes were filled with fear, shock, and disbelief.

"How does this person know? How does this person know? How?!"

Jia Shangshu's body suddenly trembled. He felt as if he had fallen into a ten-thousand-year-old ice cave.

"Hahaha!"

Teng Hejing's excited laughter came from the northwest corner and echoed in the air above the Jia Family's residence.

"Found it, we found the barbarians! All the barbarians are down there!"

Whoosh!

A commotion broke out inside and outside the Jia Family's manor. The discussions were heated.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The people from the major factions in Anyang City could no longer hold back. They passed through the light barrier that had disappeared and entered the Jia Family's manor. They headed straight for the training ground in the northwest corner and jumped into the hole.

Barbarian! Barbarian! Barbarian!

There were barbarians everywhere.

In this spacious underground space a hundred meters beneath the surface, barbarians were everywhere.

Some had just woken up and were snarling as they attacked.

Some were in deep sleep with a few tubes attached to their bodies.

Some were broken into several pieces by the excited Teng Hejing.

In short, there were more than a hundred barbarians gathered in the huge underground space.

The evidence of the Jia Family colluding with the barbarians had been found, and it was irrefutable evidence!

Ironclad proof that no matter who the backer of the Jia Family was, would not be able to clear up, nor would they dare to.

So many barbarians had appeared in Anyang City and were hidden under the Jia Family's manor.

The meaning it represented was too important. It had already been exposed.

"The Jia Family is finished."

"Heh, they could have been finished long ago."

"I'm curious, when did the Jia Family get so many barbarians?"

"Most importantly, these barbarians are all wearing mechanical battle armor. What is the Jia Family up to?"

"Everyone, stop watching the show. Kill these barbarians first!"

"I'm more than happy to. Tsk tsk, barbarians in mechanical battle armor. Ordinary sixth-grade martial artists probably won't be a match for them."

Bam! Bam!

Boom!

Accompanied by the conversations, the sound of fighting and angry roars could be heard in the underground space.

…

Su Jingxing, who had descended from the sky, extracted card after card.

Su Jingxing slowly floated to Jia Shangshu's side. Looking down from above, he asked curiously, "Who's behind you? Which faction in the capital?"

Jia Shangshu did not respond. He only stared at Su Jingxing with wide eyes, panting heavily.

"I'm just curious."

Su Jingxing said calmly, "Even if you don't tell me, I will find out who it is. It's just a pity that you're still keeping secrets for the people behind you when you're about to die."

"Or do you think they can save you? Protect your family?"

"In this situation where a large number of barbarians have been found, will they stand against everyone in the country for you?"

Jia Shangshu closed his eyes in agony.

After a while, he growled, "Tell me how you knew where the barbarians were hidden, and I'll answer you, who's my backer!"

"Jiang Jiuyang," Su Jingxing answered cooperatively.

"…Who?"

Jia Shangshu was stunned. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who did you say it was?"

"Jiang Jiuyang." Su Jingxing held back his laughter. "He was the one who told me where the barbarians were hidden."

"Impossible!"

Jia Shangshu's eyes were red as he panted. "It's impossible for Jiang Jiuyang to know where the barbarians are! He's just a dog of the Jia Family. Although I gave him a barbarian to cooperate with us, he never knew where the barbarians were truly hidden!"

"You lied to me! A dignified third-grade expert who can penetrate a hundred meters into the ground with a single sword strike actually knows how to fool people and deceive me!"

"…I'm not lying."

Su Jingxing chuckled. "Jiang Jiuyang was really the one who told me. He hooked up with your cousin, Jia Xiaoqing. Through your cousin, he learned where you hid most of the barbarians."

"…"

A mouthful of blood was spat out.

Jia Shangshu's aura swiftly weakened.

Shock, anger, indignance, and deep helplessness shot out from his wide eyes. In the end, all those emotions turned into despair.

"Haha, hahaha…"

Jia Shangshu laid on the ground, smiling numbly.

"Patriarch Jia, don't die so quickly. You haven't told me who your backer is."

Su Jingxing paid attention to Jia Shangshu's aura and said calmly, "Or are you still willing to be the scapegoat for the person behind you when you're about to die?"

Given the Jia Family's influence, they could at most affect the Dahong Prefecture.

The barbarians discovered were most likely spread all over the Yu Nation.

The faction that controlled it was definitely extraordinary. At the very least, it could influence the entire Yu Nation!

"Hehehe…"

Jia Shangshu laughed bitterly and his voice became softer and softer. "You're right. The Jia Family is finished. There's no need to take the blame for them. Let me tell you, my backer is…"

Swish!

A cold glint suddenly flew over from afar, sticking close to the ground as it headed straight for Jia Shangshu.

Bang!

Su Jingxing sent it flying from a distance with a palm strike, then threw a throwing dagger in the direction of the cold glint.

"The Xia Family!"

Sensing that danger had arrived and disappeared suddenly, Jia Shangshu's face flushed red and his eyes were spewing fire. "The faction behind me is the Xia Family! It's too late to silence me now! Hahaha… too late…"

Before he could finish his sentence, the agitated Jia Shangshu breathed his last.

In the distance, a Commissioner of Command of the Martial Suppression Office who had released a hidden weapon to silence Jia Shangshu also happened to have his head penetrated by a throwing dagger and died on the spot.

The Xia Family!

The mastermind controlling the barbarians and creating bloody crimes to bring chaos to the Yu Nation is actually the Xia Family!

As the Yu Nation's imperial family, the Xia Family is actually putting on such a show behind the scenes. What are they up to?

What is the purpose of capturing barbarians from the Boundless Mountain Range, putting mechanical battle armor on them, and spreading them around in an attempt to cause chaos?

The Yu Nation was founded by their ancestors. Why would the Xia Family want to harm themselves?

Su Jingxing couldn't figure it out.

However, at this moment, he recalled the last words of the founding ancestor of the Yu Nation, Xia Cangxuan.

No need to have any qualms about the Xia Family in the capital.

At that time, Su Jingxing threw it to the back of his mind after hearing him.

As long as the Xia Family did not provoke him, Su Jingxing could not be bothered with them.

Now that he thought about it, Xia Cangxuan probably already knew that the Xia Family was manipulating the barbarians to achieve some kind of goal.

It was lamentable to think about. It was already good enough that Xia Cangxuan was not angered to death that his descendants colluded with the barbarians to harm their home.

Xia Cangxuan had sacrificed and refined his physical body, the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal, and a divine weapon. Through some secret method, he managed to hold on until Su Jingxing entered the Void World.

What was his motive for not wanting and not daring to die?

It was all because of the Yu Nation!

In the end, his descendants were sabotaging him behind his back.

Su Jingxing believed that if Xia Cangxuan could leave the Void World and go to the imperial capital, he would definitely kill everyone in the Xia Family with one slap.

Unfortunately, Xia Cangxuan's situation at that time did not allow him to do so.

Now that Su Jingxing knew the truth, he didn't mind teaching the Xia Family a lesson on behalf of Xia Cangxuan.

Of course, before that, he had to settle the appointment with the Martial Sage tomorrow.

Then, he would forge the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal.

The Xia Family's influence spread all over the country. Su Jingxing would not be able to handle all the barbarians scattered in the various places alone. He had to work with the cabinet or the rest of the five major martial arts families.

An operation so decentralized had to be completed in one go.

Otherwise, the future troubles would be too great.

Crippling and destroying the Xia Family in the capital had to be considered at length.

…

After some thought, Su Jingxing continued to extract cards. He only left after all the barbarians in the underground space were killed.

Teng Hejing and the others watched Su Jingxing disappear into the horizon.

If Su Jingxing was willing, he could take most of the assets and resources left behind after the Jia Family's destruction. Even if he took all of them, Teng Hejing wouldn't say anything.

However, these things could not be dealt with so quickly. Su Jingxing was not short of money either. He was not interested in pills, martial arts, or spirit weapons.

Su Jingxing had already obtained the most important thing.

Stepping on Thunderbolt, he returned to Qinghe City at his fastest speed.

Back at his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, Su Jingxing opened his palm space and took out the cards he had extracted. He read their information one by one.

In the end, he obtained one True Essence Card, 32 True Energy Cards, 18 Skill Cards, two Memory Cards, one Deduction Card, 42 Martial Arts Practice Cards, and 56 Mighty Strength Cards.

There were 93 Internal Force Cards. The remaining Equipment Cards, Essence Energy Cards, and Strength Enhancement Cards added up to more than 200.

The Martial Arts Practice Cards and the Mighty Strength Cards mainly came from barbarian corpses.

The other cards came from members of the Jia Family.

Oh right, there was also an Invisibility Card, from the Shadow Demon Frog back at the Black Flame Caves.

The two Memory Cards contained the memories of the Jia Family's martial artists. Su Jingxing took a look and found nothing outstanding. After unlocking them, they naturally dissipated.

The Deduction Card only contained two deduction chances, and each with one-third success rate.

The True Essence Card contained nine years of true essence cultivation.

The cultivation in the True Energy Cards varied from one to 13 years.

For now, Su Jingxing was in no hurry to unlock and absorb them. He stored them away for now.

Right now, the most important thing for him was to deal with tomorrow's appointment with New Chu's Martial Sage.

Before sunset, he had to appear on Giant Shark Island.

Su Jingxing was considering whether to use his Essence Soul or his main body.

The Blood Doppelganger was the most suitable, but New Chu's Martial Sage Chu might be able to see through the structure of a pure energy body.

Exposing his doppelganger was one problem. New Chu's Martial Sage using this as an excuse to attack the Yu Nation was another.

Therefore, the one attending had to be either the Essence Soul or main body.

However, the problem was that Su Jingxing's main body was still in the third-grade, even though his true essence cultivation had exceeded 200 years.

However, against New Chu's Martial Sage physical body, he probably wouldn't be able to gain much advantage.

If New Chu's Martial Sage managed to see through him, the consequences would be too great.

The Yu Nation's new Martial Sage was merely a third-grade martial artist. If news of this were to spread, the morale of the Yu Nation would plummet.

Although few people would believe this,

given New Chu's Martial Sage scheming nature, he would definitely cause trouble.

This wasn't something that Su Jingxing could handle with just three shots of Spirit Annihilation.

Even if Spirit Annihilation was lucky and killed the physical body of New Chu's Martial Sage, his Essence Soul would still remain.

Therefore, after much thought, Su Jingxing decided to go there with his Essence Soul.

An Essence Soul in the third class of Void Soul could temporarily withstand the roasting of the sun.

At most, Su Jingxing would arrive at Giant Shark Island a second before sunset.

Right, Giant Shark Island was located out at sea, about a hundred kilometers away from land.

The sea region was not covered in Yu Nation's Void World area.

The Void World only overlapped the land.

To go out to sea, the Essence Soul had to leave the Void World and fly to the Giant Shark Island.

Once he left the Void World, he had to end this quickly. What if there were monsters in the Void World…

Hmm?

Suddenly, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul in the Void World felt a chill in its heart and turned to look at the darkness in the north.

The Wandering Dragon Saber floating beside him circled around his body and emitted a glow.

In the Essence Soul's vision, a familiar snake-like creature poked its head out of the darkness…

The Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast!

Another Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast that could release a tornado emerged from the darkness.

The moment the Essence Soul spotted the other party, it was overjoyed.

Good, you came at the perfect time!

Su Jingxing was planning to meet New Chu's Martial Sage with his Essence Soul.

It was wonderful that another Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast appeared at this time.

After collecting three of the Equipment Cards extracted after killing the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast, he would be able to obtain a Thunder Dragon Bone Armor.

The Thunder Dragon Bone Armor was a defensive soul treasure. Su Jingxing's Essence Soul would feel a great boost in confidence in drawing against New Chu's Martial Sage once it had it.

Of course, if it wanted the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor, it had to kill this Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast that had come out of the darkness first.

Buzz!

Su Jingxing observed that the Wandering Dragon Saber floating beside him suddenly trembled and the glow it was emitting became increasingly intense.

Through the mental connection, Su Jingxing was surprised to discover that the Wandering Dragon Saber actually had plans to attack the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast.

Earlier, when the beast appeared, the Wandering Dragon Saber released a glow. This was a warning from the divine weapon.

Now that the Wandering Dragon Saber wanted to attack the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast, it was no longer as simple as a matter of self-defense.

Clearly, the Wandering Dragon Saber's soul or blade spirit had been born!

Sensing this, Su Jingxing was overjoyed.

With this, he could head to the Giant Shark Island with his Essence Soul and not worry about the Void World anymore.

He just had to leave the Wandering Dragon Saber behind.

Divine weapons let out warnings and attacked on their own accord.

The Wandering Dragon Saber could kill ordinary Void World monsters with its own strength.

If Su Jingxing's Essence Soul sensed something like the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast, it could rush back immediately.

With this in mind, the pressure on Su Jingxing lessened greatly. While he relaxed, he was also wary of the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast.

The snake-like body of the Void Beast left the darkness section by section.

Its cold eyes were fixed on Su Jingxing's Essence Soul from the beginning as it inched closer.

Crack!

Crack!

Electric arcs flashed, and lightning shot out from the sides of the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast.

Swish! Swish!

Activating Sword Eyes, the eyes of the Essence Soul lit up as they shot straight towards the beast.

Rip! Rip!

The Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast twisted its body but did not dodge. Instead, it took the blow head-on.

Crack!

Boom! Boom!

In the real world below, thunder rumbled in the sky.

In the Void World, electric arcs coiled around the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast. Enduring the attack from Sword Eyes, it slithered and pounced towards Su Jingxing's Essence Soul.

Hu~

A strange fishy smell swept out. The Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast opened its mouth and released an invisible blast.

The Essence Soul was already prepared. With a sprint, it dodged the attack. Then, with the Wandering Dragon Saber in hand, it pushed close to the beast.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The Nine Souls Ring was released. It split into nine rings that burned with flames as they flew towards the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast from all directions.

Crack! Crack!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lightning bloomed and electric arcs danced.

Lightning shot out from the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast's body to intercept the nine rings, but it could not stop Su Jingxing's Essence Soul from approaching.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul dashed forward quickly, avoiding the electric arcs. It darted left and right, flipping and jumping. When it found an opportunity, it slashed at the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast with the Wandering Dragon Saber in midair.

With a ripping sound, the powerful defense of the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast was broken through on the spot, and a wound appeared on its body.

This being the third Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast he was fighting, Su Jingxing already had experience.

Whether it was the Sword Eyes or the Nine Souls Ring, they were all just distractions.

The real killing move was by the Wandering Dragon Saber. The sharpness of a divine weapon could break through the defense of the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast with just one slash.

As such, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul flashed quickly, avoiding the sweep of the beast's tail and the electric arcs.

His figure moved quickly again, flipping and rising into the air. When it found an opportunity, the Wandering Dragon Saber continued to aim at the wound and streaked across at lightning speed.

Roar!

An angry roar reverberated through the Void World.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Ignoring the furious roars of the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast,

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul turned into a mass of afterimages as it surrounded the beast slashed out rapidly.

Each slash was faster and heavier than the previous.

Under this frequency, the wounds on the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast continued to widen.

Roar!

The Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast was forced into a state of madness. Its snake-like body moved faster, either chasing or dodging the Essence Soul's slashes.

Crack!

Boom! Boom!

Occasionally, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul would be affected by the electric arcs, but Su Jingxing ignored them and did not stop at all. He swung the Wandering Dragon Saber and attacked faster.

Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!

Crack! Crack!

Boom boom boom!

Saber beams, thunder, flames, and electric arcs bloomed non-stop.

The nine rings of the Nine Souls Ring left marks on the injured body of the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast, aggravating its injuries.

The beast could not dodge.

In the end, it actually became afraid.

It suddenly gave up on attacking Su Jingxing and dashed towards the darkness.

"Trying to escape?"

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul saw this and shouted coldly. The Wandering Dragon Saber left his grip, and the power of the divine weapon was instantly driven to the extreme. It shot out and struck a hideous wound on the fleeing Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast. The entire saber pierced through the body of the beast and came out from the other side.

Roar! ! !

The Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast's furious and painful roar was deafening.

Crack! Crack!

The electric arcs that bloomed around it were extremely dense.

But this did not stop Su Jingxing from continuing his attacks.

He connected his mind to the Wandering Dragon Saber and circulated the power of the divine weapon. Starting from the penetrated wound, he sliced towards the head of the beast.

Just like dissecting an eel, he split the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast into two.

Roar!

Bang!

With a final roar, the two halves of the body quickly faded and dissipated.

[Card1]

A notification flashed.

Compared to last time, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul had suffered relatively light injuries this time. It left the Wandering Dragon Saber behind for an early warning in the Void World.

Then, the Essence Soul descended from the border membrane and landed in the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

At the same time, his main body took out the card he had extracted from his palm space.

An Equipment Card!

As expected, after killing the third Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast, he obtained the same Equipment Card again.

In other words, he had gathered all three Equipment Cards he needed to unlock the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor!

Suppressing his excitement, Su Jingxing unlocked three cards in an instant.

Whoosh!

With a flash of white light, a purple armor with a bone shell appeared out of thin air.

Su Jingxing sensed for a moment and realized that the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor could be shrunk and expanded at will.

The Essence Soul immediately released its soul power and left Su Jingxing's imprint on the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor.

The next moment——

Whoosh!

The Thunder Dragon Bone Armor was divided into several pieces that stuck to Su Jingxing's Essence Soul and automatically formed a battle armor.

Its palms, feet, head, and face were all covered up.

Its entire head now looked like a hideous dragon's head.

The dragon eyes corresponded with its eyes. Not only were there no changes to its vision, it even had semi x-ray vision now.

Or rather, it could see through one's nature?

Su Jingxing pondered.

Without giving it much thought, Su Jingxing controlled his Essence Soul and physical body to adapt to the function of the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor.

Defense went without saying.

The second discovery was that the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor could actually block out perception!

Su Jingxing could control his main body to make myriad transformations, but the Essence Soul could not.

At most, between maintaining a state of illusion or corporealness, the Essence Soul could release a glow, making it difficult to look at it directly.

However, such concealment was useless against a Martial Sage of the same realm.

As a result, Su Jingxing couldn't hide his Essence Soul even if he wanted to.

Su Jingxing had prepared to be exposed when he went to the Giant Shark Island this time.

In his Essence Soul state, he was mainly a soul, which had the appearance of Earth Su Jingxing.

Once exposed, even if New Chu's Martial Sage wanted to find Su Jingxing's main body, there wouldn't be any clues for him.

At most, he would sigh that Su Jingxing was a peerless genius who had advanced to the Transcendent-grade at such a young age.

This was because the Essence Soul's appearance was based on the moment the Divine Embryo was condensed.

The Essence Soul that was formed when one was 100 years old would carry one's appearance at 100 years old.

When condensed at the age of 20, the Essence Soul would have the appearance at 20 years old.

Given Su Jingxing's Essence Soul state, at such a young age, wouldn't he be considered a genius among geniuses?

But now, with the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor, there was no need to worry about New Chu's Martial Sage seeing through him.

The Thunder Dragon Bone Armor perfectly blocked out all perception.

When Su Jingxing put on the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor, nothing could be sensed using one's Essence Soul, let alone see his true appearance through it.

All New Chu's Martial Sage could see was a dragon-headed mask.

The ability of the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor perfectly resolved this problem of exposure.

In this world, there was only one person who had seen Su Jingxing's true appearance.

The founding ancestor of the Yu Nation, Xia Cangxuan.

However, this ancestor of the Xia Family had completely dissipated.

Su Jingxing currently had no future troubles.

He continued the test.

Even the Heaven Origin Saber, Sword Eyes, the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand, and the Nine Souls Ring could not leave a mark on the armor.

Compared to the Thunder Hidden Dragon Beard Beast, the defense of the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor was even more terrifying!

As for the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist, Air Splitting Palm, and other attacks that consumed true energy and true essence, the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor ignored them all.

Not only could it perfectly neutralize them, it could also turn them into nothing.

The Thunder Dragon Bone Armor was similar to the Essence Soul. Once it turned illusory, physical attacks and ordinary energy attacks could not hit it.

Only soul skills, divine weapons, and treasures that were related to the soul would be effective.

Of course, it would be difficult for ordinary divine weapons and treasures to break through the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor too.

In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing wore the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor and returned to the Void World. He controlled the Wandering Dragon Saber to hack at the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor.

In the end, it only left a mark on the surface of the armor.

From this, one could imagine how strong the defense of the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor was.

Su Jingxing put it on using his Essence Soul and got used to it for an entire night.

When the sun rose high the next day and hung above the sky, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul calmly descended to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain. He took out 12 Soul Splitting Cards, four of them in a stack, and divided them into three stacks. He hid them in the hands and chest of the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor.

Three shots of Spirit Annihilation were ready to be released at any time.

Putting down the mask of this armor, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul walked out of the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain and headed for the East Sea.

Only the Kaiyuan Prefecture of Yu Nation was close to the sea.

Giant Shark Island was located to the east of the Kaiyuan Prefecture, close to New Chu Nation.

The entire island's area was slightly more than 100 square kilometers. There were no residents on the island, only some minerals.

The name, Giant Shark Island, did not come about because there were sharks around the island, but because the overall shape of the island resembled a shark.

In particular, the small mountain range in the center of the island was towering in a straight line, very similar to the sickle fin of a shark.

As a result, from the side, the entire island looked like a giant shark floating on the sea.

Because there were only minerals, almost no one visited Giant Shark Island in the past.

However, early this morning, before dawn, large ships or warships appeared on the sea and approached the island.

By the time the sun rose, many figures had already appeared on the small islands near Giant Shark Island.

Yu Nation, New Chu Nation, Hong Nation, Guang Nation, Yue Nation…

People from every country in the 13 countries of the Eastern Continent had come to watch today's show.

A duel between Martial Sages…

Oh, no, two Martial Sages from opposing countries were having a meeting.

Just the thought of it was exciting, even if they didn't get physical.

However, was it possible not to?

"I'm afraid the newly advanced Martial Sage of the Yu Nation doesn't have much capabilities, right? Speaking of which, New Chu's Martial Sage is also an old schemer. He's clearly harboring ill intentions, inviting the Yu Nation's Martial Sage to a banquet at this time."

"What can we do? If the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation doesn't come today, the New Chu's Martial Sage will definitely keep his word and bring himself to the Yu Nation early tomorrow morning!"

"That's why I said that New Chu's Martial Sage Chu is too crafty. The Old Xiang Family has been plotting against the Yu Nation for so many years. They might really succeed this time."

"That's right. Once New Chu annexes the Yu Nation, the number one overlord nation in the Eastern Continent will appear. In the future, we'll probably have to take cues from the Old Xiang Family."

"Sigh…"

…

Near the Giant Shark Island, the martial artists from the major factions of the various countries gathered in groups and discussed animatedly.

On the coastline of the Kaiyuan Prefecture across the sea, early in the morning, countless citizens from the Kaiyuan Prefecture and the neighboring prefectures rushed to the beach in cars and carpools. They looked in the direction of the Giant Shark Island and waited excitedly, nervously, and blankly.

Over the past few days, under the guidance and publicity of the government, they learned that the existence of a Martial Sage not only represented the strongest group of experts on Earth Star, but they were also present in every country.

The significance of a Martial Sage was also announced. A Martial Sage was an indispensable martial spirit for a nation.

Finally, a subtle reminder was given that only with a Martial Sage would they not have to fear the barbarians in the Boundless Mountain Range.

There were also top experts among the barbarians that only Martial Sages could contend against.

With all these factors combined, the citizens of the Yu Nation had basically accepted the existence of the Martial Sage and sincerely worshiped and yearned for him.

It was only because Su Jingxing had yet to forge the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal, otherwise, he would certainly be able to produce several Saint Origin Fruits right now.

"Do you think our Martial Sage can win?"

"He will definitely win! So what if the other party is New Chu's Martial Sage? I believe that the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation is not weaker than anyone!"

"That's right, New Chu's Martial Sage is ambitious. His scheme will never succeed!"

"Unfortunately, we're too far away to see what our Martial Sage looks like."

"Needless to say, he must be handsome and cool!"

"Shallow! Does a Martial Sage need to be handsome and cool? Just his temperament alone is unique in the world! However, it's indeed quite unsatisfying to be so far away."

"Hehe, you guys don't understand. Those people went to the vicinity of the Giant Shark Island to witness history, but they forgot how terrifying the shockwaves released when Martial Sages fight are!"

"That's right, that's right. When Martial Sages makes a move, it will definitely be earth-shattering. Those people are so close, they won't be able to escape then!"

"That's right. Perhaps we will be implicated here too."

…

Everyone discussed animatedly, the fighting spirit was high.

No one thought that the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation would be too afraid to appear.

What they were concerned about was whether the Martial Sage could win and how long he would take.

Under such an atmosphere, countless people stood by the sea and looked in the direction of Giant Shark Island.

From morning to noon, from noon to evening.

As the sun began to set, a ball of light comparable to the sun suddenly appeared in the distant horizon.

Whoosh——

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Report chapter

Shouts, exclamations, and yells filled the coastline.

Countless Yu Nation citizens looked at the sky and shouted excitedly.

"He's here, he's here! Our Martial Sage is here!"

"Speaking of which, what does the Martial Sage look like? Anyone got a clear look?"

"I can't see anything at all. I'm using a high-multiplier telescope. I can only see a ball of light!"

"Above the first-grade is the Transcendent-grade, and Martial Sage that guards the dynasty. Unfortunately, I'm not fated to see his true appearance."

"Hehe, we don't even know what abilities a Martial Sage has. Perhaps he once met you on the streets, but you were unaware."

"…"

The sound of discussions and cheers resounded across the beach.

…

On an open-air platform of a battleship in the sea south of the Giant Shark Island.

"Master, Master, the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation is here!"

A young girl with an outstanding figure and delicate features looked at the sky and shouted excitedly, "I can't see what he looks like. Master, did you see him?"

"No."

Beside the girl was a graceful and beautiful woman. Her eyes were shining as she stared at the sky and frowned. "He's wearing a special battle armor. His entire body is covered."

"Ah, doesn't that mean that we won't know what he looks like?" The girl commented regretfully.

"What a Martial Sage looks like isn't important." The beautiful woman patted the girl's head dotingly and explained, "A Martial Sage looks at strength. As for the specifics, you don't have to know for now. I'll tell you when it's time for you to know."

"I'm just curious." The girl stuck out her tongue. "Then, Master, how long do you think the Yu Nation's Martial Sage can last against New Chu's Martial Sage?"

"I don't know." The beautiful woman shook her head. "Although the Yu Nation's Martial Sage has just advanced, no one can be sure if he is strong or weak, especially when no one knows if the old Martial Sage left any treasures for him.

"That's right. Master, you said that the Yu Nation's old Martial Sage has lived for hundreds of years. He must have accumulated a lot of treasures." The girl came to a realization. "The Yu Nation's new Martial Sage is no match for New Chu's Martial Sage, but with powerful treasures, he might not necessarily lose."

"That's right. If those people want to see the Yu Nation's Martial Sage suffer a crushing defeat, it won't be that simple," concluded the beautiful woman indifferently.

…

"You're here."

On a small island to the east of the Giant Shark Island, an old man with long flowing hair gazed at the sky and shouted at an old man sitting cross-legged behind him, "Grandpa, the Yu Nation's new Martial Sage is here."

"Mm." The old man narrowed his eyes and replied softly, "Continue watching the show."

"…Yes, Grandpa." The long-haired old man opened his mouth and nodded.

…

North of Giant Shark Island, at the peak of the clouds.

A group of top-ranked experts carrying long swords on their backs floated in the air and looked at the horizon, their eyes flickering with fighting spirit.

"Everyone, Master said that this Martial Sage Battle is a once-in-a-century opportunity to comprehend. Whether you can take this opportunity to break through depends on whether you can seize it."

A middle-aged man in a long robe said in a deep voice, "If you want to obtain Master's guidance, it's useless unless you reach a certain level. Now that the opportunity is right in front of you, I hope you won't waste it."

"Don't worry, we know what to do."

"This is a battle between Martial Sages, should we retreat further out?"

"Let's wait and see."

"…"

The others chimed in and changed the topic.

The corners of the middle-aged man's lips twitched, but he remained silent.

He had already said what he needed to say. Whether they listened or not was none of his business.

…

Giant Shark Island.

Above a row of tall and steep mountains in the center.

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul descended from the sky in the Thunder Dragon Armor.

At first glance, he spotted a person sitting on the peak of the highest mountain.

There was a platform on the peak that had been slashed out by a human.

On the platform was a stone table with four dishes.

A tall and burly man with an indistinct aura was sitting on a stone bench. He held wine in one hand and chopsticks in the other as he ate and drank leisurely.

Su Jingxing slowly approached. When he was ten meters away from the platform——

"You're here."

Without looking up, the burly man called out, "Sit down, sit down. I've been waiting for you for a day. You're finally here. Fortunately, I prepared cold dishes. There are lots left. Quickly sit down and have a drink."

Su Jingxing didn't move. He floated in the air and stopped moving forward.

This fellow had really organized a banquet to treat him to a meal.

Su Jingxing could sense that the burly man was not an Essence Soul, but a physical body.

The body of a Martial Sage after the Divine Embryo hatched an Essence Soul.

A body of this level had a lifespan of 360 years.

As for his defense, speed, strength, and other aspects, Su Jingxing wasn't sure.

However, it was not inferior to ordinary transcendent bodies, especially its true essence. The true essence of a Martial Sage's body had at least 200 years of cultivation.

In other words, even without an Essence Soul, a Martial Sage was still extremely powerful.

"Have a seat."

Su Jingxing didn't move, so the burly man continued, "Don't worry, there's no poison in the dishes or wine. Since I've invited you, I won't touch these crooked ways. These crooked ways won't work on you either. Don't you agree, Brother?"

Su Jingxing remained silent.

The might of a Martial Sage's body could not be underestimated. Su Jingxing was prepared to attack at any time.

"Alright."

Seeing that Su Jingxing didn't respond, the burly man shook his head and slowly put down his chopsticks. "Since you don't want to eat, I'll have them taken away. By the way, my name is Xiang Qingtian. What's your name, Younger Brother?"

Su Jingxing remained silent.

Deep down, he was slightly surprised.

Xiang Qingtian!

The old thing's name sure is domineering. The Xiang Family produced two Martial Sages in a row. No wonder they're so domineering and wanted to annex the Yu Nation.

"Never mind. It's fine if you don't want to tell me your name."

Xiang Qingtian continued to mutter to himself, "I invited you here firstly to congratulate you on advancing to the Transcendent-grade and becoming a Martial Sage. Secondly, I want to discuss a collaboration with you."

Su Jingxing remained silent.

"This matter is the merger of our two countries.

Xiang Qingtian looked at Su Jingxing with a smile. "After the two countries merge, we will be the strongest nation in the Eastern Continent in the future. The overlapping areas of the Void World will also be connected, increasing the territory and obtaining more area. At that time, it will be easy for us to join forces to annex other countries. Brother, what do you think?"

"Nothing."

Su Jingxing spoke. His deliberately adjusted low voice came from beneath his mask and echoed in the air.

"Ha, you're really a younger brother."

Xiang Qingtian clapped his hands and smiled. "I think it's a good suggestion. Brother, are you really not going to consider it?"

"…"

Old thing, I didn't expect you to fall for it instantly.

He had used a man's voice.

As expected, the more he said, the more he would be exposed.

In terms of life experience, even with two lifetimes combined, Su Jingxing had less than 30 years.

Unlike Xiang Qingtian, who could become a Martial Sage not only because he was outstandingly talented, but also because he had to compete with his peers for resources.

He climbed up step by step and finally became a Martial Sage.

Su Jingxing took a shortcut. He could not be compared to him.

At this thought, he decided to be ruthless.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave, Martial Sage Xiang."

I, Su Jingxing, am also qualified to call myself a Martial Sage, cough cough~

"In this case, you're really not considering it?"

Xiang Qingtian shook his head. "Alright, since you're unwilling, I won't force you. But it's rare for you to make a trip here, so how can you leave just like that?"

"By the way, you've just advanced to become Martial Sage. You must not be very familiar with the realm of Martial Sages.

"As a senior, I ought to give you some guidance, no?"

Here it comes!

I knew I couldn't avoid making a move!

Su Jingxing thought to himself. He maintained his calm tone and said coolly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Martial Sage Xiang."

This fight was unavoidable.

Su Jingxing was already long prepared.

Although Xiang Qingtian made it sound nice and used the word "guidance", that was because he did not want a falling out.

If Su Jingxing refused, the old thing would still get physical all the same.

"Good!"

Xiang Qingtian stood up and smiled. "During the process, if you can't take it, remember to call for a stop in advance."

Su Jingxing remained silent.

Boom!

Xiang Qingtian did not waste his breath and struck out with his palm.

In a flash, the palm shadows that filled the sky transformed into dozens of huge birds that blotted out the sky.

Countless people around the Giant Shark Island felt their pupils constrict when they saw this.

"The Xiang Family's Heaven Battling Eagle Palm has actually been cultivated to this level. As expected of Xiang Qingtian!"

On the battleship, the beautiful woman murmured, her eyes flickering.

…

"Grandfather, they're making a move! They're making a move!"

The long-haired old man shouted in surprise.

"I saw."

At some point, the old man who was sitting cross-legged had floated up and looked at the sky above the Giant Shark Island.

…

"It's starting!"

On the top of the clouds, a group of martial artists in the top ranks with swords on their backs had solemn expressions and piercing gazes.

…

Hu hu hu~

Above the Giant Shark Island, terrifying astral winds suddenly rose and howled between heaven and earth.

Su Jingxing retreated rapidly. In his vision, there were only dozens of huge birds pouncing at him.

Buzz~

Without any hesitation, he also struck out with his palm.

The Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand!

Bang!

The air exploded as the giant palm tore through the air and flashed towards the dozens of giant birds.

Its speed was extremely fast. In just an instant, it covered a distance of a few hundred meters and drowned the group of giant birds that were still in attacking mode.

Whoosh!

A blinding light bloomed.

Everyone around the Giant Shark Island stopped what they were doing and looked at the sky in a daze.

Gone?

Dozens of giant birds disappeared just like that?

One palm strike!

He finished off dozens of giant birds with just one palm strike?

No!

This was not one against many, but one against one!

It was also a move from a Martial Sage, only Xiang Qingtian's martial art was a little special.

Everyone was in thought.

A majestic and powerful aura suddenly erupted, transforming into a huge bird with a wingspan of a thousand meters that seemed to have materialized. It spread its wings and let out a long cry.

Hoo!

A huge sound wave that was like a real eagle's cry swept across the sky and stirred up the sea breeze.

A terrifying pressure instantly loomed over the area within a radius of a thousand meters around Giant Shark Island.

Everyone watching felt their hearts palpitate.

"A killing move?"

Su Jingxing remained unmoved.

The palm strike earlier was just a test. This was the real beginning.

Bang! Bang!

The huge bird condensed from a terrifying aura was like an eagle king. It flapped its wings and roared into the sky.

Hu! Hu!

Strong winds howled and swept through the world.

Su Jingxing didn't move. He only raised his hand high. Then, everyone saw…

A patch of light!

It was a light that drowned everything!

The snow-white light blocked everything, blinding everyone's vision.

Whoosh!

A pale white light drowned everything.

In an instant, just an instant.

This light transformed——

One, two, three, four…10, 20, 30, 40…countless patches!

Dense light covered the ground gently like a soft mountain breeze and rain.

It descended from the sky and enveloped the entire Eagle King.

Amidst a large expanse of light!

Then, the violent aura suddenly disappeared.

Su Jingxing's aura instantly changed from steely and unbending, to gentle and soft.

In midair, the light that filled the sky slowly fell like countless raindrops, soaking every inch of space within its range, drenching the forest hundreds of meters from the sky to the ground.

Whoosh!

The sea breeze was still blowing, and the rain was falling.

Under the snow-white Tiangang Suppression Palm, the attacks were silent.

Then, all the light suddenly disappeared.

However, Su Jingxing did not stop. Like a weightless feather, he floated hundreds of meters away and looked at Xiang Qingtian from afar.

As for the huge bird, the Eagle King that was condensed from a terrifying aura, it disappeared into thin air without stopping for a moment.

It was as if a brush had brushed past and erased all traces of it.

This scene fell into the eyes of everyone around the Giant Shark Island. Most of them were stunned and silent.

At this moment, the entire world fell into a strange silence.

"Martial Sage Xiang, please take one move from me as well."

In the silence, Su Jingxing unlocked the four Soul Splitting Cards hidden in his left hand and released the first shot of Spirit Annihilation.

The terrifying power was instantly mobilized. It was as if the divine weapon that had been sealed for countless years was slowly spitting out.

Rip!

The air was slashed.

Buzz!

The air trembled, and the light circling his left hand suddenly left his palm and flew out at lightning speed.

Swish!

The light tore through the air.

A faint silver glow sliced through the air in an instant, as if it had ripped through the void or passed through countless spaces.

The speed was extremely fast.

Almost at the instant the light flashed, Xiang Qingtian instinctively swiped his right hand across his waist and took out a blood-colored sword. Then, he poured large amounts of true essence into it. As the blood-colored sword flashed crazily, it let out a hissing sound like a venomous snake.

Rip!

Sword energy tore through the air, stirring up the airflow.

With the support of surging true essence, the sword energy released by the blood-colored sword instantly formed a huge, airtight sword net.

The light that Su Jingxing shot out and the sword net that Xiang Qingtian pulled up, two different forms of attacks with mights that had a world of difference ruthlessly intersected.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Pa! Pa! Pa!

A strange sound, accompanied by a muffled sound, suddenly erupted. It was as if countless huge pieces of rock had fallen from high above and broken the ice.

The dense and seemingly indestructible sword net released by Xiang Qingtian only lasted for half a breath before it was instantly shattered by the light.

Then, without any obstruction, the bright light shot forward like a bolt of lightning, slicing through the air and passing through Xiang Qingtian, who was retreating rapidly.

Chi!

A glow flashed.

Chapter 323: The Sore Loser Xiang Qingtian (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiang Qingtian stopped in midair.

Shock and anger remained on his face, and his eyes were filled with shock.

He remained motionless in midair.

Until…

Whoosh!

A glow suddenly appeared in the air.

Like a cloud of smoke, Xiang Qingtian bloomed and slowly dissipated.

The entire Martial Sage body turned into specks of light and disappeared.

The sky and ground were terrifyingly silent.

Everyone around the Giant Shark Island was stunned speechless when they saw this scene.

Xiang Qingtian is dead?

New Chu's Martial Sage died just like that?

Killed by the Yu Nation's Martial Sage in one move, and not even his corpse was left behind?

Wasn't it said that the Yu Nation's Martial Sage had just advanced and was weaker than New Chu's Martial Sage?

Why was it that when the two of them fought, it was New Chu's Martial Sage Chu who was defeated and even left without a corpse?

Shock! Confusion!

Unconceivable! Unbelievable!

At this moment, the minds of the people who had personally witnessed the death of New Chu's Martial Sage were buzzing. They could not calm down for a long time.

"Mas-Master, is… is the Yu Nation's Martial Sage that powerful?"

On the battleship, the girl came back to her senses and stuttered.

"He's indeed very strong."

The beautiful woman's eyes lit up as she stared at the purple battle armor above the Giant Shark Island with a solemn expression.

"The move he just used was not the power of an ordinary Martial Sage."

"What… what do you mean?" The girl was confused.

"The Martial Sage of the Yu Nation used other powers."

As a Martial Sage, how could the beautiful woman not be able to tell how terrifying Spirit Annihilation was?

Such might could not be produced by soul power.

Treasures?

A powerful treasure left behind by the Yu Nation's old Martial Sage?

The eyes of the beautiful woman flashed.

"Then Master… Can you defeat him?" The girl blinked and asked curiously.

The beautiful woman was speechless.

…

"Grand… Grandpa, Ne-New Chu's Martial Sage Chu is… dead!"

On the island, the long-haired old man's voice trembled as he said in shock, "He… he's dead. An-nd he has no remains left!"

"I saw."

The old man floating in the air replied expressionlessly, "The Yu Nation's old Martial Sage left behind quite a few good things, huh?"

"What… what do you mean?" The long-haired old man was confused.

The old man ignored him. His eyes flickered with a strange light as he stared at the purple figure above the Giant Shark Island.

"And this battle armor, it's probably not simple either."

The old man muttered inwardly.

…

On the clouds.

The group of martial artists in the top ranks with long swords on their backs looked at one another.

"It… it's over?" Someone asked in disbelief.

"It's over." The person who responded was hoarse.

"Too fast, too strong."

"Didn't they say that a battle between Martial Sages would last for days and nights? Why was the outcome decided in a few moves? Is New Chu's Martial Sage too weak, or is the Yu Nation's Martial Sage too strong?"

"Senior Brother, if Master were to come and fight them, who would win?"

"Needless to say, it must be Master!"

"Yes, it must be Master! But, would Master be able to take that move from the Yu Nation's Martial Sage?"

"…"

…

The battle ended too quickly, and the outcome was too shocking.

When the crowd around the Giant Shark Island came back to their senses, the entire sea was in an uproar.

When the news reached land, an even louder commotion resounded along the coastline of the Yu Nation.

"We won, we won! Our Martial Sage won!"

"Hahaha, invincible Yu Nation, invincible Martial Sage!"

"What did I say? What did I say? We will definitely win! Now, do you see? Ours Martial Sage only used three moves to defeat… no, only three moves to kill New Chu's Martial Sage! And he was even left without a corpse!"

"New Chu's Martial Sage was ambitious. He would never have thought that he would die so quickly."

"All I want to know now is, now that New Chu's Martial Sage is gone, can we take this opportunity to attack New Chu and annex them?"

"That's a good suggestion. New Chu has always wanted to annex us. Now that their Kingdom Defending Martial Sage is gone, we can take the opportunity to annex them!"

"Um, that's not appropriate, is it? The cabinet won't agree either, right?"

"It's fine to give it a try. It's just a request. If too many people apply, the cabinet might really agree to send troops across the Golden Sparrow Basin to annex New Chu!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Call and request for a war!"

"I'll come too, I'll come too."

…

Their morale was high and they were full of fighting spirit.

Amidst the excited crowd's cheers, through various channels, they submitted letters to the cabinet requesting to send troops to the New Chu Nation!

…

Yu Nation's capital.

Central Conference Hall.

The cabinet members were also cheering and celebrating.

"Good, good, good! I didn't expect the new Martial Sage to be so powerful. He ended New Chu's Martial Sage's physical body right away! Good, this is wonderful! Hahaha…"

"That's right. Initially, we only hoped not to lose too badly. Who would have thought that not only did we not lose, we even won!"

"I can only say that the newly advanced Martial Sage is awesome! This is such a great job! I'm so happy!"

"…"

The cabinet members were overjoyed and laughed heartily.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," replied the Deputy Prime Minister who was sitting closest to the door.

The door opened, and a uniformed martial artist strode in and whispered into the Deputy Prime Minister's ear.

After the martial artist left, the Deputy Prime Minister didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Everyone, guess what happened?"

"Old Luo, don't keep us in suspense. Hurry up and tell us what happened," said an old man with thick eyebrows and big eyes irritably.

"Only you can." The Deputy Prime Minister glared at him and smiled. "The people below have received news that our citizens are spontaneously petitioning for us to send troops to attack New Chu!"

The conference room fell silent.

The next second, everyone burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, sure. We didn't even need to say anything and our citizens are already eager to attack New Chu." The old man with thick eyebrows and big eyes beamed.

Report chapter

"This kill by the new Martial Sage has boosted the confidence of the nation. Unfortunately…"

The person who answered was full of emotion.

What unfortunate? The people below might not know, but how could they not know?

New Chu's Martial Sage Chu had indeed been killed, but what was killed was his physical body!

Apart from the physical body, Martial Sages also had Essence Souls!

The Essence Soul could exist independently for decades.

The Essence Soul of New Chu's Martial Sage was still around. If they were to send troops to the New Chu now, they would still suffer a head-on blow and fall into a life-and-death battle.

Unless the new Martial Sage helped.

However, since ancient times, when the two countries were at war, Martial Sages rarely personally participated.

This was because the Void World could not do without the Martial Sage.

It would be funny if a catastrophe were to happen in his own country after they'd just annexed an enemy nation.

Therefore, sending troops to New Chu could only remain a thought for now.

It wasn't time yet!

…

Giant Shark Island.

Wearing the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor, Su Jingxing sensed that Xiang Qingtian's physical body had completely dissipated in the world. He couldn't help but be shocked by the might of Spirit Annihilation.

Too powerful!

A single shot of Spirit Annihilation was actually so terrifying. Other than instinctively defending, Xiang Qingtian had no time to react in any other way before he was struck and dissipated.

He was not crushed, cracked, or split into two. Instead, he directly turned into nothingness.

Spirit Annihilation, Spirit Annihilation.

It wiped out Xiang Qingtian's entire body cleanly.

No wonder this power could even kill an Essence Soul. Xiang Qingtian's loss was justified.

Of course, this was because Xiang Qingtian didn't come as his Essence Soul.

Although a Martial Sage's body had reached the peak in defense, strength, and speed,

he could not use soul skills, nor could he fully control divine weapons and soul treasures.

If Xiang Qingtian was in Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing's shot of Spirit Annihilation should still…

Hmm?

Suddenly, Su Jingxing's heart skipped a beat. He put away the joy of extracting Xiang Qingtian's card and turned to look in the direction of the New Chu Nation.

Buzz~

The air vibrated.

A ball of light suddenly appeared in the sky in the direction of New Chu Nation.

This ball of light crossed the air at an incredible speed and pounced towards the Giant Shark Island.

"I want you dead!"

A suppressed growl exploded like muffled thunder, echoing between the heaven and earth and in everyone's ears.

A terrifying aura seemed to collapse the sky and shatter the void, causing huge waves to appear in the sea.

Boom! Boom!

"Master, who… who is this?"

On the battleship, the girl's face turned pale as she trembled.

"New Chu's Martial Sage," the beautiful woman replied with a frown.

"Huh?" The girl was stunned. "New Chu's Martial Sage? Wasn't he already killed?"

The beautiful woman did not respond. She only frowned and looked at the approaching ball of light as disgust flashed through her eyes.

With his physical body destroyed, the Essence Soul came to take revenge.

New Chu's Martial Sage Chu, Xiang Qingtian, was nothing more than this.

…

On the small island.

"Hmph, I knew this fellow is a sore loser."

The old man looked at the ball of light in the air and sneered.

"…Grandpa, you know this person?" asked the long-haired old man in a low voice.

"You know him too," the old man replied coolly. "You just saw him earlier."

"Huh?" The long-haired old man was shocked. Then, a thought struck him and he said in disbelief, "Grandpa, are you saying that the person who shouted is New… New Chu's Martial Sage? He… he's not dead?"

"Of course!"

…

At the top of the clouds.

"Spread out!"

A group of martial artists in the top ranks with long swords on their backs sensed the terrifying aura coming from behind them.

Everyone immediately dispersed and quickly retreated to the sides.

Boom!

A terrifying whistling sound passed through them.

An extremely oppressive and fearsome aura that was almost corporeal struck the group of people, causing them to tumble in the air uncontrollably. Two of them even fell into the sea.

"Who is it? Who is this? Why does it feel like New Chu's Martial Sage?"

"Impossible. Wasn't New Chu's Martial Sage already killed by the Yu Nation's Martial Sage?"

"It's possible that he didn't die just now?"

…

Stunned, confused, and in disbelief.

A group of people returned and gathered together. They looked at the ball of light that were rushing towards the Giant Shark Island and started discussing.

…

Giant Shark Island.

Su Jingxing glanced at Xiang Qingtian's Essence Soul that was charging over and shook his head lightly.

"Flying into a rage out of humiliation?"

The invitation was from Xiang Qingtian.

Xiang Qingtian was also the first to attack.

Xiang Qingtian was also the one who started the attempt to suppress Su Jingxing and annex the Yu Nation.

In the end, he was inferior and now wanted to take revenge.

He didn't even guard the Void World anymore and directly sent his Essence Soul over!

As a Martial Sage, Xiang Qingtian was a failure.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Energy suddenly swirled.

Without any nonsense, Xiang Qingtian's Essence Soul directly used its soul skill to attack Su Jingxing from hundreds of meters away.

Accompanied by wisps of light, a powerful force surrounded Xiang Qingtian's Essence Soul.

Buzz!

An incomparably sharp force was suddenly triggered and charged towards Su Jingxing.

Boom!

Su Jingxing activated the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand, and the snow-white imprint once again appeared in the air.

The dazzling light turned into countless light ribbons one after another.

Rip!

It was as if a piece of cloth had been quickly torn apart by a pair of scissors, or as if a sharp rock had skipped past the calm surface of the water.

The two forces tore through the air and collided fiercely.

Bang!

The air exploded.

The glow emitted from the collision of the two energies illuminated the surroundings.

"Die!"

Xiang Qingtian growled.

In the Essence Soul state, soul power circulated and even more was channeled.

"Hmph!"

Su Jingxing executed the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand to its limits. He opened Sword Eyes and met the attack.

He was not in a hurry to release the remaining two shots of Spirit Annihilation. He wanted to see what level his strength had reached. It would not be too late to release them after sensing danger.

Su Jingxing still didn't know how strong the defense of the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor was.

Boom!

When they collided head-on, the shockwave produced was released, creating circles of ripples in the sky. The might that erupted was world-shaking.

Worldly energy poured out wildly within a radius of thousands of meters around the two of them.

Fierce astral winds, accompanied by torrential waves, swept through the world.

As the endless airflow stirred, the air let out waves of suppressed moans, as if it would shatter like glass in the next moment.

Bam!

Pa!

Boom!

A dull thud spread in all directions.

Everyone around the Giant Shark Island was stunned by this scene.

This was especially true for the middle and lower level martial artists. All of them watched without blinking, afraid that they would miss a single second of the exciting battle.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

…

Loud bangs echoed through the air in succession.

At a certain moment, Su Jingxing, who sensed danger, decisively released the second shot of Spirit Annihilation.

Swish!

A dazzling light streaked through the air again, penetrating countless spaces.

Under Xiang Qingtian's furious gaze, it shot straight towards him.

Xiang Qingtian wanted to dodge, but it was too late!

Just like his physical body previously, he still couldn't dodge it in his Essence Soul state!

What kind of move is this?!

What kind of move is this?!

Xiang Qingtian went berserk. He used all his trump cards and circulated his soul power as much as possible.

Finally, a second before the light reached him, he turned his body to the side.

Swish!

The light brushed past him.

Xiang Qingtian's body flew backward uncontrollably. In midair, his Essence Soul swayed and his shoulders melted into nothingness.

The remnant power of the glow struck a mountain peak on the Giant Shark Island with lightning speed under the shocking aura.

Boom!

There was an earth-shattering bang.

The terrifying power caused the mountain to explode on the spot and turn into nothingness.

For a time, gravel shot everywhere and dust flew. Rumbles reverberated through the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One deafening explosion was followed by another.

The force of the penetration destroyed the mountain peak, turning a large area of spatial airflow into a quagmire.

Within the range of the shockwave, the air was like a boiling pool, rolling endlessly.

Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!

Energy surged.

Under the coverage of the shockwave, waves of surging air, like snakes and dragons, whistled through the air and swept through the entire Giant Shark Island.

Finally, under everyone's gaze, the entire Giant Shark Island began to collapse.

Boom! Boom!

Piece by piece, the huge Giant Shark Island split up and sank.

Silence.

The sky and ground around the Giant Shark Island fell into dead silence.

Until…

A deafening snarl came from the hole that appeared after the Giant Shark Island sank.

The hole that was originally filled with seawater flowing back into it. At this moment, seawater moved in the opposite direction and splashed into the air.

Water splashed everywhere, obscuring vision.

An invisible but terrifying aura spread in all directions with the huge hole as the center with the blooming of the waves.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Loud bangs followed one after another, rising from the bottom of the sea like thunderclaps.

The seawater within a radius of thousands of meters shook non-stop.

Swish!

Splash!

Whoosh!

Seawater boiled and the mist covered the sky.

An evil, cold, and bloodthirsty aura gushed out madly from the deep hole left behind after the Giant Shark Island sank.

"Demonic energy? No, the Extraterrestrial Devil Insect, it's the Extraterrestrial Devil Insect!"

Exclamations rose from the crowd.

When the surface of the sea shook, the battleships and ships that were swaying with the waves immediately sped up and fled into the distance.

The long-haired old man and old man on the small island also charged into the sky to observe the situation.

The group of martial artists in the top ranks with long swords on their backs swiftly retreated.

Carrying the girl, the beautiful woman flew into the sky and looked at the big hole where Giant Shark Island disappeared into.

Xiang Qingtian's Essence Soul that had escaped a calamity was semi-transparent. It glanced at the deep hole and left without saying anything.

Su Jingxing did not give chase, nor did he make a move.

Firstly, Xiang Qingtian was stronger in his Essence Soul state, and the soul skills he mastered were not weaker than his.

Since he was able to dodge one shot of Spirit Annihilation, he could probably dodge another.

Even though it was difficult to dodge and Xiang Qingtian's Essence Soul was still injured, the extent of the damage was limited.

Su Jingxing wasn't confident that he could kill him after using up all shots of Spirit Annihilation.

Since he couldn't kill Xiang Qingtian, there was no point in fighting him to the death.

Even if he exhausted his soul power in the end and really killed Xiang Qingtian's Essence Soul, Su Jingxing wouldn't be able to swallow the huge New Chu Nation.

Su Jingxing was very willing to see the Yu Nation annex New Chu Nation.

However, how could annexing a country be done in three to five days?

Putting aside the hatred of a portion of the citizens of New Chu, just fusing the territories of the two countries in the Void World would take a lot of time.

Without a Martial Sage guarding New Chu's Void World, the monsters in the Void World would definitely invade and cause disasters.

What Su Jingxing wanted was not the destruction of a nation, with billions of casualties.

Instead, he wanted the people of New Chu to trust him, derive their faith, and nurture the Sage Origin Fruit.

The Sage Origin Fruit was what every Martial Sage wanted the most.

The more citizens there were, the faster and the more Sage Origin Fruits would be condensed.

With countless citizens dead and injured, where would the Sage Origin Fruit come from?

Especially since Su Jingxing had yet to forge a new Kingdom Defending Jade Seal.

At this time, even if they really annexed the New Chu Nation, he would not be able to condense the Sage Origin Fruit.

Therefore, Xiang Qingtian could not die yet!

Letting him leave and continue to guard New Chu Nation's Void World would be helping Su Jingxing.

Secondly, Su Jingxing needed to deal with the frightening aura coming from the deep hole that appeared after the Giant Shark Island sank.

The huge commotion caused by the roars showed that the existence in the cave was definitely not simple.

Extraterrestrial Devil Insect?

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was in the process of sensing.

A huge tentacle with a diameter of tens of meters suddenly stretched out from the hole in the water and slapped the air, hitting the surface of the sea.

Bam!

Roar!

The surface of the sea shook, and countless waves swept through the sky.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, another huge tentacle stretched out from the hole. Immediately after, a monster head that was covered in black and white stripes and shaped like a ghost face emerged from the hole.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The huge tentacle struck the air and overturned the sea surface.

The monster, which was a thousand meters long, protruded inch by inch from the bottom of the sea and hovered above the surface.

Without any unnecessary movements, just by lying on the surface of the sea, a large amount of seawater evaporated and turned into mist that blotted out the sky.

However, the cold and evil aura could not be concealed no matter what, causing everyone on the sea to tremble.

"Ghost-Faced Devil Insect! There's actually a Ghost-Faced Devil Insect under the Giant Shark Island!"

In the sky, the long-haired old man's eyes shone brightly as he sucked in a breath of cold air.

"What are you afraid of? Yu Nation's new Martial Sage in Yu Nation?" commented the old man indifferently.

"That's right, that's right. Fortunately, the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation is here." The long-haired old man nodded subconsciously. He only realized what he had just said and smiled awkwardly. "Of course, Grandpa is also here."

The old man ignored him and looked through the layers of mist at the huge Devil Insect on the sea.

It had the appearance of a spider, but its legs had turned into spider tentacles. Seven huge tentacles that were tens of meters thick and thousands of meters long. Coupled with its body that was like a huge mountain, just the terrifying aura it emitted could crush martial artists in the lower ranks to death.

As the patterns on its body resembled a ghost face, this incomparably huge Extraterrestrial Devil Insect was named the Ghost-Faced Insect.

Compared to the Corpse-raising Insect and the Beast Spirit Insect, there weren't many Ghost-Faced Insects.

At the very least, so far, few had been exposed, and they were all moving independently.

However, every Ghost-Faced Insect was extremely huge.

Take this one for example. Its body and tentacles were comparable to the sunken Giant Shark Island.

With such massive bodies, their physical attacks were naturally terrifying. Any Ghost-Faced Insect could easily destroy a city.

Without more than 10 third-grade martial artists working together, it was basically impossible to take one down.

However, the true terror of the Ghost-Faced Insect was not its size, but its mental attacks!

The cold and evil aura was just the residual energy that leaked out of its mind.

According to records, the Ghost-Faced Demon Insect could release terrifying mental attacks that could kill martial artists below the third-grade instantly.

As for the range, it varied between 100 to 500 miles.

The Giant Shark Island was so close to the coastline. If the Ghost-Faced Insect were to release a mental attack, there would definitely be countless casualties.

Therefore, the moment he saw that it was the Ghost-faced Insect, Su Jingxing decisively descended on its head.

Circulating the Tiangang Demon Suppression Palm to its limits, he circulated most of his soul power and delivered a heavy blow at the newly emerged Ghost-Faced Insect.

Whoosh!

A snow-white glow illuminated the world.

The mist that filled the surface of the sea and covered the sky seemed to have dissipated for a time.

The mist that overwhelmed the sky turned into nothingness with a huge pillar of light.

The Ghost-Faced Insect that had just arrived on the surface of the sea only had time to sense a terrifying danger descending from the sky before it was struck by the light.

Boom! !

There was an earth-shattering bang.

Endless seawater rose into the air, reaching a thousand meters into the sky.

A pale white light bloomed, swept across the sea, and spread in all directions.

Apart from the beautiful woman and the old man, everyone else lost their vision at that moment.

A huge wave rose, surrounding a tsunami that was hundreds of meters tall.

At the center of the light, the massive body of the Ghost-Faced Insect had shattered into pieces. All its tentacles shattered into pieces and covered the surface of the sea.

Fortress Insect?

"Yes!"

Su Jingxing replied and extracted a card.

Deep down, he was surprised by the true name of the Ghost-Faced Insect.

Ghost-Faced Devil Insect was what Earth Star martial artists called it.

The same went for the Corpse-raising Devil Insect and the Beast Spirit Devil Insect.

Their real names were unknown.

However, Su Jingxing's cheat ability, knew about them. It could only be said that his hacks were too amazing.

And the fact that the Ghost-Faced Devil Insect's real name was Fortress Insect inevitably surprised Su Jingxing.

Generally speaking, names are related to abilities.

Could it be that this Fortress Insect's main ability is defense?

Isn't the strongest power of the Ghost-Faced Devil Insect its mental attacks?

As he pondered, Su Jingxing opened his palm space and took out two cards.

He first looked at the Equipment Card from the Fortress Insect!

Accumulating seven Equipment Cards and unlocking them at the same time would give a starship.

That's right, a battleship that possessed defensive and offensive capabilities and could shuttle through the vacuum of the universe.

What the f*ck…

How did the abilities of the Fortress Insect become related to a starship?

Or is it that the Fortress Insect itself could fly in the universe?

Su Jingxing recalled the records of the Extraterrestrial Devil Insect.

There were no records of which planet the Extraterrestrial Devil Insect came from.

It was only known that 84 years ago, the Extraterrestrial Devil Insect suddenly appeared on Earth Star.

The various types of devil insects began a slaughter on Earth Star.

To this day, there were as many as 32 types of devil insects that had appeared.

However, no one knew if these 32 types were all that existed.

If those Extraterrestrial Devil Insects had come to Earth Star by riding the Fortress Insect, would that explain how they crossed space and came to Earth Star?

Su Jingxing's mind raced as he put away the card. He was in no hurry to unlock it.

After reading the second card, the one he had extracted from Xiang Qingtian's physical body, his heartbeat sped up.

A Skill Card!

When Xiang Qingtian's physical body was killed, although it dissipated quickly, a card was still extracted from his corpse in an instant.

It contained a soul skill called Emperor Chu's Jade Book.

The Emperor Chu's Jade Book was an ultimate technique that had been passed down in the Xiang Family for thousands of years. In the old Chu Nation that came before the New Chu Nation, this soul skill was already being cultivated by the Xiang Family's ancestors.

The Emperor Chu's Jade Book was very special. It did not cultivate true energy, physical body, or soul power. Instead, it cultivated dynasty fate.

To put it simply, the stronger a country was, the stronger the power one would wield after cultivating the Emperor Chu's Jade Book.

The cultivation process was extremely harsh, and most people did not meet the requirements.

Only one person could.

The emperor!

The emperor of an ancient dynasty!

The ruler of the world whose every word carried great weight

This was a special ultimate technique that only the emperor could cultivate.

In modern times, it was almost impossible to successfully cultivate it.

Even in the New Chu Nation, where the imperial Xiang Family held great power, they could not wield absolute power like in ancient times, where the words of their Patriarch was the law.

Anyone who he wanted to die had to die.

The New Chu Nation was domineering and powerful. The Xiang Family held the majority share, but there were still three major martial arts families under them. If the three families joined forces, the Xiang Family would still have to compromise.

The reason why the Xiang Family could hold most of the power was because they had offered benefits to share with the three families.

Martial arts reigned supreme on Earth Star. Power was not the only thing. Strength was the foundation.

As a result, it was extremely difficult for the Xiang Family to cultivate the Emperor Chu's Jade Book.

Su Jingxing estimated that even Xiang Qingtian might not have succeeded.

Otherwise, Xiang Qingtian wouldn't have escaped so quickly in the previous battle.

The might of Spirit Annihilation was indeed terrifying, but if Xiang Qingtian were to mobilize New Chu's luck to fight…

Su Jingxing shook his head, feeling lucky.

The Emperor Chu's Jade Book was complete. This was the first time Su Jingxing had seen a complete ultimate technique.

However, cultivating it was too difficult…

In ancient times, it was easy, one could cultivate it as long as one became an emperor.

In modern times, no one had the right to become an emperor.

Even the prime minister or president did not meet the requirements.

However…

"I think I can?"

Su Jingxing narrowed his eyes and thought quickly.

The Emperor Chu's Jade Book cultivated the fortune and fate of the dynasty, or national fate for short.

The cultivation process was very complicated, but he could use the Martial Arts Practice Card to help him.

This should save me the trouble, right?

Su Jingxing wasn't sure if the Martial Arts Practice Card could cultivate the Emperor Chu's Jade Book.

He couldn't make an attempt now.

Apart from mobilizing the fate of the nation, one also had to find a special place to cultivate the Emperor Chu's Jade Book.

The same went for the forging of the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal. It could only be done in a specific location.

Although the Fortress Insect was dead, no one could guarantee that there were no other Extraterrestrial Devil Insects in the hole left behind after the sinking of the Giant Shark Island.

And this place was so close to the Yu Nation.

No matter what, Su Jingxing had to go down and investigate.

At this thought, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul stepped into the air and shuttled through the hazy mist to arrive above the huge hole.

In the next moment, the Essence Soul wearing the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor quickly descended to enter the hole.

"Master, what is he doing there?"

In the sky, the young girl leaned against the beautiful woman and tried her best to widen her eyes. Through the mist, she watched Su Jingxing's movements and asked curiously.

"In case there are more Extraterrestrial Devil Insects inside."

The beautiful woman's eyes flashed. "Let's go in and take a look too."

"Huh?" The girl was stunned.

Without waiting for her reaction, the beautiful woman picked up the girl and rushed towards the hole.

"Ah!"

The girl's scream reverberated through the air.

"Grandpa, they've gone into the cave. Should we go too?"

On the other side, the long-haired old man watched the three people and asked the old man.

The old man pondered for a moment before nodding. "We do have to go take a look."

Without waiting for the long-haired old man to finish his sentence, he flew straight to the top of the hole and descended.

"Hey, Grandpa, wait for me." The long-haired old man quickly followed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Five figures entered the large hole where the seawater was flowing in.

The Ghost-Faced Insect's massive body was blown up by Su Jingxing and turned into dregs that floated on the surface of the sea.

On the original ruins of the Giant Shark Island, a deep cave led downwards.

Su Jingxing did some calculations. He had gone more than 3,000 meters deep before reaching the bottom.

Ordinary martial artists could not reach this area.

In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing was naturally fine.

The first thing he saw when he came down was a huge cave.

The end of the cave was not far.

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul quickly scanned its surroundings. Seeing that there was nothing else, it immediately flew towards the exit.

It arrived in an instant and passed through the hole.

Before it was the murky seabed!

Outside the cave was the bottom of the sea. Miraculously, the seawater was blocked by an invisible force and did not enter the cave.

Of course, now that a large amount of seawater was pouring down from the surface, it wouldn't be long before the cave was filled with seawater.

No one knew what the Fortress Insect was doing through this cave.

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul scanned the bottom of the sea with its special vision.

Its pupils suddenly constricted and its eyes were filled with shock.

In its vision, more than a thousand meters ahead on the right, on a concave seabed platform, there were actually dozens of insect eggs piled up densely!

"These are all laid by the Fortress Insect?"

Su Jingxing was surprised.

"No, according to the records, the Fortress Insect doesn't seem to have the ability to produce eggs.

"Of course, it's also possible that the information is missing. The Fortress Insect itself can lay eggs, only no one has discovered it.

"Just like how the Earth Star martial artists named the Fortress Insect the Ghost-Faced Demon Insect."

Earth Star did not know much about the true information of the Fortress Insect.

This batch of eggs could belong to the Fortress Insect or other insects.

Regardless, they had to die!

At this thought, Su Jingxing activated Sword Eyes.

Swoosh!

Whoosh!

Two sword-shaped beams of light shot out from the eyes on the mask and struck the eggs more than a thousand meters away.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The spherical eggs that were more than a meter in diameter and three to four meters in height exploded on the spot, splattering juice everywhere.

"Yes!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

[Card10]

[Cards30]

…

With a series of explosions, dozens of eggs were blown up and turned into mud.

Su Jingxing extracted dozens of cards.

"Soul Devouring Insect?"

These eggs were actually the eggs of a species called the Soul Devouring Insect.

Su Jingxing thought back for a moment. Among the known types of Extraterrestrial Devil Insects, there was none called the Soul Devouring Insect.

As expected, there were still many unknown types of Extraterrestrial Devil Insect.

He wondered what abilities this Soul Devouring Insect had.

From the name, it didn't look good.

Soul Devouring, Soul Devouring.

Devouring souls?

Pondering for a moment, Su Jingxing opened his palm space and took out the cards to read the information.

Mystic Soul Card!

The Soul Devouring Insect eggs were dead and a new card was extracted.

According to the information, unlocking 10 Mystic Soul Cards at the same time would give one Heaven Essence Pill.

The effect of this Heaven Essence Pill was more than ten times better than the Spirit Accumulation Pill.

Previously, when Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was injured, he unlocked dozens of Requiem Cards and obtained more than a hundred Spirit Accumulation Pills.

He had to swallow them all to repair the injuries on the Essence Soul body.

However, with Heaven Essence Pills, three to five of them would do.

The effect of the Heaven Essence Pill was equivalent to that of the Sage Origin Fruit. It could nurture soul power and strengthen the Essence Soul!

As for the fact that 10 Mystic Soul Cards only gave one Heavenly Essence Pill, it was probably related to the Soul Devouring Insect eggs.

If it had been the corpse of a Soul Devouring Insect, he would be able to extract a Heaven Essence Pill from it.

Now that the quality was insufficient, it could only be made up for with quantity.

Su Jingxing did a count. There were a total of 53 Mystic Soul Cards. 10 cards equated to one Heaven Essence Pill. If he could get five Heaven Essence Pills, that would be pretty good.

With this in mind, Su Jingxing suppressed his excitement and temporarily put away the cards.

The Essence Soul wearing the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor continued to scan the bottom of the sea, hoping to find other good things.

He looked around but did not find anything else. Instead, he heard movement behind him.

Su Jingxing turned around and looked at the hole.

A beautiful woman, a young girl, and two old men. All four of them had a light membrane around their bodies.

Su Jingxing quickly scanned one of the old men and the beautiful woman and remembered that he had seen them in the air above the sea.

At this close distance, he realized that their bodies were extremely special.

It was the kind of physique where everything was fused and not a trace of aura was leaked. Their life fluctuations were different from ordinary people.

The same as Xiang Qingtian's physical body that Su Jingxing had killed!

So…

The old man and the beautiful woman were also Martial Sages!

These were their physical bodies.

"Yu Nation's Martial Sage?"

The beautiful woman was the first to greet him. "Martial Sage of the Jing Nation, Gong Junlian. This is my disciple, Miao Ruoxiang. Xiangxiang, greet the Senior."

"Hello, Senior." The young girl bowed to Su Jingxing curiously and respectfully.

"We're from the Guang Nation. This is my grandfather, and also our Martial Sage, Wei Chengzhang. My name is Wei Yusheng." The long-haired old man quickly introduced.

"Hmph!" The old man glared at Wei Yusheng unhappily.

The latter shrank his neck and did not dare to speak again. He could only smile awkwardly at Su Jingxing.

"Yu Nation, Kong Xuan."

Su Jingxing used another alias.

Gong Junlian and Wei Chengzhang might not be using their real names either.

The reason why they introduced themselves was because the Yu Nation, the Jing Nation, and the Guang Nation had diplomatic ties, they were allies.

If they were Martial Sages of other countries, the atmosphere would not be so harmonious.

The Jing Nation was located south of the Yu Nation. The two nations were adjoining in terms of geographical location, and their relationship was even better.

After Su Jingxing responded, Gong Junlian and Wei Chengzhang didn't probe further.

Whether the name was real or fake didn't really matter.

"So you're Brother Kong."

Although she was a female Martial Sage, Gong Junlian's aura was not inferior at all. "Congratulations on defeating Xiang Qingtian, Brother Kong. The Old Xiang Family is doomed this time."

Gong Junlian gloated manfully.

"If Brother Kong is willing, how about we divide up the Old Xiang Family?" Wei Chengzhang was even more direct. He chuckled and said, "Xiang Qingtian doesn't have many years left to live. How about we join forces to kill him before he goes crazy?"

Miao Ruoxiang was speechless.

Wei Yusheng was speechless.

Do you have to be so direct?

Those who didn't know you're Martial Sages would think that you're bandits.

Wei Yusheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Su Jingxing also held back his laughter and replied, "A good suggestion, but there's no need for that for now. Xiang Qingtian can't die yet."

Wei Chengzhang and Gong Junlian both knew the reason for that.

However, no one mentioned it, and Gong Junlian changed the topic.

"Brother Kong, what's that over there?"

She pointed at the remains of the Soul Devouring Insect eggs and asked.

Chapter 328: Green Cloud! Green Cloud! (2)

"Insect eggs," Su Jingxing replied. "I don't know if they belong to the Ghost-Faced Insect, but I've already wiped out all of them."

"Since they're insect eggs, they should indeed be destroyed." Gong Junlian nodded.

"Other than the insect eggs, is there anything else?" Wei Chengzhang stepped away and looked around.

"No." Su Jingxing pondered and said, "This place doesn't seem like a nest, nor does it have the ability to develop into a nest."

Insect nest!

The nest of the Extraterrestrial Devil Insects.

This was the reason why Gong Junlian and Wei Chengzhang had come down to the cave.

Giant Shark Island was too close to land.

If there was a nest here, it would be a terrifying bomb that could explode at any time.

It had to be eliminated in advance!

Su Jingxing also came down to check mainly to eliminate this possible hidden danger.

However, after a round of inspection, he found nothing but a pile of Soul Devouring Insect eggs.

Now that the Soul Devouring Insect eggs had been destroyed, Su Jingxing subconsciously chose to hide the matter.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain how he knew that these eggs belonged to the Soul Devouring Insect.

The Soul Devouring Insect had never appeared before. What right did Su Jingxing have to name it "Soul Devouring"?

This was just a bunch of insect eggs. Their abilities hadn't even been revealed yet. How could he tell that they were soul devouring?

Even if the two of them did not ask for details, what were the characteristics of the Soul Devouring Insects? What were their weaknesses?

Since he knew that it was a Soul Devouring Insect, he should know the general ability of this insect, right?

How troublesome!

If Su Jingxing himself didn't know, how could he explain it?

He might as well leave them as unknown insect eggs.

Gong Junlian and Wei Chengzhang didn't ask. They walked around and relaxed when they didn't find anything else.

Great that it wasn't a nest.

There were no other problems, not to mention that all the insect eggs had been destroyed.

The five of them did not stay for long.

Soon, they returned to the surface of the sea.

They bade farewell to each other and returned to their respective countries.

…

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain in Qinghe City.

He unlocked 50 Mystic Soul Cards and obtained five Heaven Essence Pills.

The Essence Soul swallowed them one by one. Moments later, it successfully advanced to the fourth class of the Void Soul realm!

The effects of the Heaven Essence Pill were on the same level as the Sage Origin Fruit.

The origin of these Soul Devouring Insects was definitely extraordinary. Unfortunately, there were too few of them.

In the fourth class of the Void Soul realm, the capabilities of Su Jingxing's Essence Soul had advanced further.

After sensing for a while, the Essence Soul returned to the Void World to keep guard while slowly experiencing its new realm.

Su Jingxing's main body took out a Martial Arts Practice Card and prepared to cultivate the Emperor Chu's Jade Book.

Of course, before cultivating, he had to calculate the most suitable cultivation location using the Six Comets Record.

The Blood Doppelganger had returned.

To forge the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal, he also needed to deduce a suitable location.

However, it would take at least a month and a half to forge the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal.

With such a long period of time, Su Jingxing decided to cultivate the Emperor Chu's Jade Book first to increase his strength.

In the end, after a day and night of divination using the Six Comets Records, he finally got a rough location.

Green Cloud Mountain!

The Green Cloud Mountain Range beside Qinghe City!

Among the 18 prefectures of the Yu Nation, Green Cloud Mountain was actually the most suitable place to cultivate.

Are you serious?

Su Jingxing was a little suspicious.

Changyang Prefecture was not in the center of the Yu Nation. The Fulong Prefecture, where the capital was located, was.

In the Yu Nation, Green Cloud Mountain was not one of the top ten well-known mountains and rivers.

Why was it the best place to cultivate?

Su Jingxing refused to accept this and used the Six Comets Records to divine again.

In the end, the answer he got a day later was still the Green Cloud Mountain.

This time, the location was even clearer. It was on the north side of the Green Cloud Mountain!

It's really the Green Cloud Mountain?

Su Jingxing pondered for a long time and decided to give it a try.

However, before setting off, he circulated the Six Comets Records and performed divination.

This time, he was divining the best location to forge the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal.

Su Jingxing wanted to see if the best location was also on Green Cloud Mountain.

And it turned out…

"Really?"

Su Jingxing, who had received the answer, narrowed his eyes.

There's a problem, there's definitely a problem!

There's either something wrong with Green Cloud Mountain or the Six Comets Records.

I'll know what went wrong after trying to cultivate the Emperor Chu's Jade Book.

With this in mind, Su Jingxing rushed to the north of the Green Cloud Mountain Range overnight. He chose a mountain and unlocked a Martial Arts Practice Card to cultivate the Emperor Chu's Jade Book.

As usual, the Martial Arts Practice Card turned into a ball of light and wrapped around Su Jingxing's body.

In the Martial Arts Practice Space, Su Jingxing began cultivating the Emperor Chu's Jade Book.

This Martial Arts Practice Card only contained one year practice time. It was only used as a starting attempt.

However, no matter how Su Jingxing worked, the Emperor Chu's Jade Book remained motionless.

A year of practice time was exhausted, and the space shattered. Su Jingxing's consciousness returned, but he still did not touch the threshold of the Emperor Chu's Jade Book.

This ultimate technique could not be executed.

It was not because of Green Cloud Mountain, nor was it because of the Emperor Chu's Jade Book.

There was nothing wrong with the Six Comets Records' divination. There was indeed something special about the northern side of Green Cloud Mountain.

Su Jingxing couldn't put his finger on it.

If he had to explain it, it was simply because it was easier to comprehend the world from the north of Green Cloud Mountain.

Su Jingxing carefully thought about the failure of using the Martial Arts Practice on Emperor Chu's Jade Book twice and realized that the reason was because of the nation's fate!

It was not that there was a problem with the fate of the Yu Nation, but that Su Jingxing had failed to grasp the "thread" that connected to the fate of the nation.

To cultivate the Emperor Chu's Jade Book, the first requirement was to sense the "thread" that connected the to fate of the nation and "hold" it in one's hand.

On the north side of Green Cloud Mountain, Su Jingxing sensed this "thread", but he couldn't touch it, let alone grab it and "hold" it in his hand.

Without the "thread", it was naturally impossible to cultivate the Emperor Chu's Jade Book.

For a moment, Su Jingxing was a little mad.

Before that, he wanted a Martial Arts Practice Card but couldn't extract one.

Now, he had dozens of Martial Arts Practice Cards and even obtained a magical ultimate skill like Emperor Chu's Jade Book.

However, he was unable to cultivate it.

This feeling was simply torturous!

"F*ck."

Su Jingxing naturally wouldn't give up after one failure.

When he calmed down, he started cultivating the Emperor Chu's Jade Book again.

This time, he did not unlock the Martial Arts Practice Card. He had to catch the "thread" first.

When he had the "thread" in his hand, it wouldn't be too late to cultivate it through the Martial Arts Practice Card.

Therefore, the Blood Doppelganger returned to the crematorium in Changyang Prefecture City. Su Jingxing's main body remained on Green Cloud Mountain and stayed on a mountain peak in the north. He began to repeatedly catch the "thread".

One day, two days, three days.

Time flew by.

…

Dashun Prefecture.

In the vast mountains.

A man and a woman darted through the woods.

The man was fine, but his white hair was a little messy and there were a few holes in his clothes.

However, the woman's face was pale, without a trace of blood. Her breathing was faintly discernible.

The strange thing was that wherever she passed, a strange fragrance floated in the air.

Some herbivores smelled it from afar and even walked over to sniff it carefully.

"No, I can't continue."

As they ran, the woman suddenly panted. "Brother Chang, I can't go on anymore. Leave me alone. With my condition, no matter where we go, we won't be able to shake them off."

"Shut up!"

The man gritted his teeth and shouted, "I've already said that I'll be wherever you are! What do you mean by leaving you alone? Am I, Lu Wuchang, a coward who's afraid of death in your eyes?"

"You're not a coward. You're a playboy." The woman smiled weakly. "No one will laugh at you if you leave me. Isn't it normal for a playboy to switch his women?"

"I said shut up!"

Lu Wuchang shouted in a low voice, "Su Yao! You know it, you're the first person I fell for! Only you kept ignoring me. I admit that I'm a playboy, but that's to distract myself from thinking and yearning for you every day!

"I was afraid I won't be able to hold back and do something rash to you. I was afraid you'll get hurt, and even more afraid that I'll regret it."

"Su Yao, believe it or not, you are the only person I, Lu Wuchang, have ever liked in my life!"

The man was Lu Wuchang from Ci En Bank, a third-grade martial artist in his thirties with a terrifying intuition.

However, before this, only a small portion of his hair had turned white.

But today, his hair was completely white.

He no longer hid it, or rather had no time to hide it.

At this moment, Lu Wuchang was half carrying and half supporting the woman named Su Yao. His tired eyes were filled with determination.

"Trust me, Su Yao. As long as we reach Green Cloud Mountain, we will be saved!"

"There's hope once we reach Green Cloud Mountain?"

Su Yao smiled bitterly. "What's on Green Cloud Mountain that can save me? That place isn't a land of peril, nor is there any hidden expert there. How can it save me?"

"I don't know how, but my intuition has never been wrong."

Lu Wuchang growled in a low voice, "Besides, I've cultivated a heavenly secret art that has turned my hair white. The result of my divination is Green Cloud Mountain! I believe that we will be saved once we go there!"

At the mention of hair, Su Yao fell silent. Regret, sorrow, and helplessness flashed across her eyes, followed by happiness, joy, and love.

Lu Wuchang did not see these complicated expressions. Su Yao took a deep breath and no longer doubted him.

Everyone who knew Lu Wuchang was envious of his talent. Ever since he was young, he had never made a mistake.

Since Lu Wuchang was so sure, it meant that Green Cloud Mountain could really save her.

Green Cloud Mountain Range was a famous mountain after all. Although it wasn't ranked amongst the top ten, it was entirely possible for one or two peerless experts to be hiding there.

As long as——

Boom! Boom!

Two loud bangs suddenly erupted.

Invisible energy exploded in the air in front of Lu Wuchang and Su Yao.

The ferocious force pushed Lu Wuchang back, and Su Yao was swept and thrown into the air.

"Ah!"

With a low roar, Lu Wuchang forcefully stopped his momentum. Then, with a tap of his toes, he charged in the opposite direction and hugged Su Yao, who was falling from midair. The two of them spun on the ground and knocked down a series of trees. Finally, they leaned against a stone wall to dissipate the force.

"Tsk tsk, Young Master Lu is really infatuated."

A sigh sounded. "Everyone only knows that Young Master Lu loves to hit on girls and is flirtatious. He falls for one and ditches the previous one. However, they don't know that Young Master Lu is also a devoted person. For Miss Su, he would even give up his life. How amazing. I'm impressed. I'm really impressed!"

Accompanied by this voice, a short and fat middle-aged man in a white chef's suit and a chef's hat stepped down from the air.

When they landed on the ground, a young man and woman wearing chef's uniforms and hats walked over and they gathered together.

The three of them slowly walked up to Lu Wuchang and Su Yao.

"Who exactly are you?!"

Lu Wuchang exhaled and stared fixedly at the pudgy middle-aged man. He shouted in a low voice, "Why do you want to capture Su Yao?"

"Tsk, how can you say that? We're clearly extending an invitation to Miss Su Yao, okay?"

The pudgy middle-aged man shook his head. "Miss Su Yao's talent is very important to us. For this, we're sincerely inviting her to come with us. Unfortunately, she was unwilling…"

"She was unwilling so you killed her entire family?" Lu Wuchang sneered. "If Su Yao hadn't escaped fast enough, would you have killed her too?"

"Look at what you're saying," said the pudgy middle-aged man with a smile. "I already said that Miss Su Yao is very important to us. Why would we kill her? Young Master Lu, you're thinking too much. We'll only treat Miss Su Shi as a distinguished guest. We can't wait to flatter her, so why would we kill her?"

"Alright, let's cut to the chase. Since you both can't escape, you'd better come back with me obediently. As long as Young Master Lu cooperates, nothing will happen."

With that, the pudgy middle-aged man waved his hand and got two of his subordinates to support Su Yao.

Lu Wuchang's eyes flashed and he suddenly attacked.

Swish!

Unexpectedly, the pudgy middle-aged man was even faster. His palm struck Lu Wuchang's dantian.

"Pu!"

A mouthful of blood was spat out.

Lu Wuchang's aura instantly weakened until it was about the same as an ordinary person.

Lu Wuchang could no longer sense the true essence in his dantian.

Or rather, his dantian had been sealed!

The pudgy middle-aged man sealed Lu Wuchang's dantian with a single palm strike.

As a result, once Lu Wuchang's Martial Art True Intent surged, his head would feel a stabbing pain.

A third-grade martial artist was actually subdued in one move.

This made Lu Wuchang even more wary of the middle-aged man's background.

"Are you alright, Brother Chang?" Su Yao turned around and hugged Lu Wuchang when she realized this, looking full of worries.

"I-I'm fine." Lu Wuchang shook his head and did not say anything else. Only his eyes were filled with indignance.

After crossing the mountain ahead, they would reach the territory of Changyang Prefecture.

But right here, they were caught.

The pudgy middle-aged man subdued him with a single move.

Even Lu Wuchang, a third-grade martial artist, was no match for him, let alone Su Yao, a fourth-grade martial artist who was already injured.

Instantly, their hearts sank to rock bottom.

"Tsk, you two are so in love. I'm so envious."

The pudgy middle-aged man looked envious and waved his hand. "Young Master Lu, Miss Su Yao, don't worry. I promise I'll let you two go on your way together. Let's go now."

The young man and woman stepped forward, grabbed one person each, and soared into the sky.

…

Green Cloud Mountain.

Su Jingxing stopped circulating the Six Comets Records and gave up on sensing the "thread" connecting to the fate of the Yu Nation.

After a week, he finally gave up.

After repeated attempts, Su Jingxing had to confirm that this "thread" could not be actively contacted.

Fate was illusory to begin with, and the fate of the nation was all the more, incomparably profound.

Martial artists in the top ranks could sense the world through their Martial Art True Intent and could sense the trends of the dynasty.

However, if they wanted to come into contact with luck, they would also be blind.

Only those who cultivated heavenly secret arts could sense it.

As for touching fate and gripping the nation's fate, that was also wishful thinking.

The things involved here were too profound.

What Su Jingxing could confirm was that the cultivation of Emperor Chu's Jade Book was probably passive.

Passively coming into contact with the national trend of events and the "thread" of national fate.

Simply put, it was the "thread" of national luck that would touch Su Jingxing, not the other way around.

Report chapter

Between the two, Su Jingxing was second.

He had to be prepared to let the "thread" of national fate touch him.

Only when the prerequisites were prepared would the "thread" of national fate come knocking on his door.

Then what was the prerequisite?

Su Jingxing thought for two days and made a guess.

This guess needed to be verified.

It needed to be verified using detailed information.

Where could he find such information?

The Xuantian University Library!

Hence.

Su Jingxing's main body did not move. The Essence Soul guarding the Void World left behind its divine weapon, the Wandering Dragon Saber, and descended from the Void World.

It happened to be night. Su Jingxing's Essence Soul in the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor landed on the top level of Xuantian University Library in its illusory state.

With no one able to see it, it used its semi x-ray vision on the ancient manuals one by one.

Under the Essence Soul's vision, the contents of the ancient manuals appeared clearly.

Su Jingxing scanned through them quickly.

One book after another, one row of bookshelf after another.

After almost two hours, he finally found the information he wanted.

The introduction of fate, the general trends of a dynasty, and conjectures of the relationship between a nation's fate and its citizens.

That's right. The information he found was not 100% certain. There were only conjectures that were deduced through various theories and imagination.

That was, ordinary citizens would not affect the fate of the nation. Slightly, if were tens of thousands of them, and only more tangible if there were millions of them.

This was for ordinary citizens. If it was an official, things would be different.

According to the records, all righteous officials in a dynasty would be enveloped by the fate of the nation.

The higher the position, the greater the fate the nation they were shrouded in.

As it was a passive envelopment, the transfer of positions would not affect anything.

Only when there was someone in that position would the fate of the nation touch him.

This was very compatible with the cultivation conditions of the Emperor Chu's Jade Book.

Why was it that only the emperor could cultivate the Emperor Chu's Jade Book?

It was because the emperor was the most blessed by the nation's fate!

In ancient times, every emperor's death would cause a commotion.

The difference was that sometimes, the commotion would be smaller, and sometimes, it would be bigger. The biggest was with the change of dynasty.

As the dynasty changed, the fate of the nation would naturally change.

During this change, the Martial Sage did not have much to do with it.

Not every Martial Sage came from the imperial family.

As far as Su Jingxing knew, the Gong Junlian, the Martial Sage of the Jing nation whom he had just met, had nothing to do with the Jing Nation's imperial family.

Su Jingxing and the Xia Family were absolutely unrelated too.

If this was the ancient times, if someone wanted to usurp the throne and change the emperor, as long as they convinced Su Jingxing, he wouldn't interfere.

What he wanted was to ensure the safety of the citizens.

If an emperor was muddle-headed and immoral, causing the people to suffer,

no one would have to seize the throne. Su Jingxing would make the first move and kill the emperor.

It was just an emperor. If this one was no good, I'll use another.

As such, the change in the fate of the nation had little to do with the individual.

Looking at the conditions to cultivate the Emperor Chu's Jade Book, the emperor was merely the most suitable person.

However, the officials below could also cultivate!

That was Su Jingxing's guess.

With the bold deduction from the information of his predecessors, Su Jingxing was even more confident in this guess.

To see whether it could be realized and check on its legitimacy, he just had to become an official.

There was no need for him to be a high-ranking official, but he had to be righteous and have close ties with the dynasty.

Su Jingxing had the Martial Arts Practice Card. Once he became a minor official, as long as he could connect with the nation's fate, he would be able to cultivate the Emperor Chu's Jade Book.

Therefore, he had to get himself a small position.

His current position as vice-captain of the security team was clearly a no go.

Deputy director would probably do.

The crematorium was not important in ancient times, or even nonexistent, but in today's world, no country could do without it.

If he became the deputy director of the crematorium, he should be able to satisfy the cultivation conditions.

…

He made a decision.

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul returned to the Void World and continued to guard it.

At dawn, his main body returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain in Qinghe City.

After washing up at home, he changed into clean clothes and went to the crematorium canteen for a meal.

After that, he headed straight to Director Wu Shouhan's office.

"Hey, Little Su, what's the matter today?" Wu Shouhan surveyed Su Jingxing with a smile.

Wu Shouhan was more or less concerned about Su Jingxing's long absence.

It wasn't that he was afraid that Su Jingxing had escaped, but more that he had died outside.

The fights between martial artists would never stop.

"Please excuse me, Uncle Wu."

Su Jingxing grinned. "I've been too busy cultivating to manage things at the crematorium."

"It's fine." Wu Shouhan waved his hand. "Like I said, focus on yourself, so do that. Compared to your strength, the crematorium is not important."

"But, since you're here today, could it be…"

"Yes, Uncle Wu. I succeeded. I broke through to the seventh-grade!" Su Jingxing said "excitedly".

"What?"

Wu Shouhan suddenly stood up. His eyes widened as he looked at Su Jingxing in surprise and excitement. "Little Su, are you serious? You're really in the seventh-grade now?"

"Yes, I just broke through to the seventh-grade. If you don't believe me, Uncle Wu, I'll show you."

A seventh-grade martial artist had 10,000 catties of strength. He gathered his internal force and opened his dantian.

Wu Shouhan could not sense the opening of his dantian, but his strength could be seen through the Strength Measuring Device.

Su Jingxing controlled his strength and punched the device twice.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The numbers on the dial of the device flashed quickly. When it finally stopped, the number measuring strength appeared.

It was really above 10,000 catties!

"Hahaha…"

Wu Shouhan immediately laughed out loud. "Good, good, great! Little Su, you're amazing!"

A seventh-grade martial artist. A seventh-grade martial artist actually came from a place like the crematorium.

This was truly unbelievable.

As someone from the crematorium, there was no need to mention the excitement and agitation in Wu Shouhan's heart.

After a long while, Wu Shouhan exhaled and took deep breaths, barely calming himself down.

Su Jingxing waited for him to regain his composure before saying, "Uncle Wu, I'm in the seventh-grade now. Can I be promoted to be a deputy director?"

???

Wu Shouhan looked confused.

Su Jingxing was also a little embarrassed. This was indeed inappropriate. Who would request for a promotion right after a breakthrough?

Though, there was nothing wrong with that, official positions were related to martial arts realms.

It was not as clear in ancient times, but which of the big shots in the modern cabinet weren't in the top ranks?

Without entering the third-grade, they could get assassinated very easily.

But there was nothing he could do.

In order to cultivate the Emperor Chu's Jade Book, Su Jingxing had shamelessly made his request.

At most, he would resign once the test failed.

"Cough cough!"

Wu Shouhan coughed and came back to his senses. He sized up Su Jingxing strangely. "Um, Little Su, it's not that I'm not willing to promote you, but the crematorium doesn't have a deputy position."

"Huh?" Su Jingxing was surprised. "There isn't a deputy director position in the crematorium?"

"No." Wu Shouhan shook his head. "As you know, although the crematorium is very important and indispensable everywhere, this place has never been sought after, and few people will fight to come here. If not for the fact that they have no choice, who would be willing to deal with the dead?"

Although these words were not absolute, they were true.

Su Jingxing nodded in understanding.

"Therefore, the director of the crematorium only had two assistants assigned to him at the beginning. After things slowly stabilized, the assistants were removed.

"As for the managers and captains below, they're not important. The director was the one to make arrangements," explained Wu Shouhan. "Over the years, a mature system has been formed."

"I see." Su Jingxing sighed.

"However, Little Su, if you'd like to be the director, I can give you my position." Seeing this, Wu Shouhan beamed with joy. "I could have retired long ago, but I was bored at home, so I came back and continued taking on this position…"

"No, no, there's really no need for that." Su Jingxing quickly declined.

He wanted to be a deputy director, an insignificant official. It was to cultivate the Emperor Chu's Jade Book, not really for the crematorium.

Not to mention snatching Wu Shouhan's position.

Even though Wu Shouhan was more than willing for that to happen.

"Are you sure"

asked Wu Shouhan again.

"Yes"

Su Jingxing was speechless. "I just… just…"

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he shut up.

"Uncle Wu, you're busy. I have something on, I'll take my leave first."

With that, Su Jingxing turned around and left.

"Wait!"

Wu Shouhan called out from behind, "Little Su, wait. Although I don't know what problem you've encountered, if you want to get an official position, there's another position other than the director's position. It's very suitable for you!"

"Really?"

Su Jingxing turned around and asked happily, "What position?"
