593: Chapter 586: Unexpected Gains 593: Chapter 586: Unexpected Gains Whoosh!
A sudden and unexpected appearance of a purple jade-colored fingertip pierced through the void, aiming directly for the forehead of Liu Hong, who was trembling uncontrollably with electricity crackling all over his body.
Wherever the jade fingertip passed, the void rippled outward like water.
Even though his body was still paralyzed by the thunder lightning, the mont Liu Hong saw that jade fingertip, his eyes filled with boundless fear.
As the jade finger drew closer and closer to his forehead, Liu Hong’s eyes suddenly bulged, and the corners of his eyes even burst open, blood gushing out.
“No…
no!”
Whimpering from the corner of his mouth, finally, as the surrounding electric light weakened, Liu Hong let out a miserable and bloodcurdling roar.
Accompanied by this bloodcurdling roar, a speck of star-like radiance suddenly burst forth from Liu Hong’s chest and rapidly expanded into a star-shaped light barrier in front of him.
This was Liu Hong’s proudest Divine Power Martial Skill, the Starlight Transformation, which could be used for both offense and defense!
Having just regained a trace of mobility after being hit by Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Thunder of Fright, Liu Hong exhausted all his energy to deploy this Divine Power Martial Skill to save his life.
And just as the starlight instantly expanded into a star-shaped barrier, Ye Zhen’s purple jade finger fiercely struck it!
Almost simultaneously, a strand of purple sword light within Ye Zhen’s First Sword Vein gently pulsed once, and in an instant, the radiance from the purple jade fingertip surged, becoming sharply more intense!
Pfft!
The newly ford star-shaped barrier, like a piece of paper, was torn through instantaneously, and the purple jade finger pierced straight into it!
“How could it break through my Divine Power Martial Skill?
How is that possible?”
The mont this thought flashed through Liu Hong’s mind, his widened eyes suddenly lost their luster, and behind his head, a blood hole had appeared!
Ye Zhen, who had successfully landed the blow, still had a serious expression on his face, “A Martial Artist in the Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm is stronger than I imagined!
To be able to recover so quickly even after a direct hit from the Heavenly Thunder of Fright…”
Muttering to himself, Ye Zhen put away the Supre Treasure Spear, the Blood Shadow Spear, that he had readied in his left hand.
He had been prepared that if the Floating Cloud Finger did not finish off Liu Hong, then he would use the Blood Shadow Spear and the great Killing Move, Purple Spirit.
Luckily, under Ye Zhen’s ticulous plans, he still succeeded in the end.
It should be said that Liu Hong’s biggest cause of death was Ye Zhen’s disguise as their leader, Jiao Xi.
Liu Hong was a subordinate of Jiao Xi, the Third Commander of the Sun and Moon Divine Guard, and his staunch confidant.
Liu Hong was also promoted to be the captain of the Third Guard’s armor team wholly by Jiao Xi’s hand.
It can be said that Jiao Xi held both respect and fear in Liu Hong’s heart and was highly esteed by him.
Therefore, the mont he saw Jiao Xi, Liu Hong had no guard up, just surprise.
Moreover, the question that Ye Zhen posed in Jiao Xi’s guise was very convincing!
It was only when he got a clear look at the clothes worn by the disguised Jiao Xi and the faint aura emanating from around him that suspicion arose in Liu Hong’s mind.
But it was already too late!
At such close range, even Jiao Xi had not raised his Protective Spirit Armor, taking a direct hit from Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Thunder of Fright with his flesh.
It was this blast of Heavenly Thunder of Fright that gave Jiao Xi less than a mont of paralysis, allowing Ye Zhen to move in for the kill thereafter.
If Liu Hong had even raised his Protective Spirit Armor, Ye Zhen would have found it impossible to take his life so easily.
As he pondered in his head, Ye Zhen’s hands did not cease their work; he searched Liu Hong’s bosom swiftly and, finding nothing, stripped off Liu Hong’s storage ring right after.
With a flash of his figure, Ye Zhen was ready to leave.
He was very close to the Main Sect of the Longevity Sect.
If he were even slightly careless, he might fall into a wolf’s den!
Upon reflection, in the mont of departure, Ye Zhen casually waved his hand and pulled Liu Hong’s corpse into the storage ring to take with him, mainly because an idea suddenly occurred to him.
A faint silvery glow flashed under Ye Zhen’s feet briefly, that was the effect of the geomagnetic field.
With a gentle step forward, Ye Zhen moved over a mile in an instant, like a phantom.
He swiftly distanced himself from the area.
Almost at the sa ti, more than a dozen lights rose from the horizon and shot towards the vicinity of the trouble-stricken pond at lightning speed, with the leading ray moving exceedingly swiftly!
In less than sixty breaths, the first figure reached the side of the pond.
The mont he landed, Duan Yingnian’s nose twitched, “Is that the sll of blood?”
“Where’s the person who was supposed to et ?”
Duan Yingnian’s eyes were sharp like an eagle’s, sweeping across all directions.
Suddenly, a patch of blood caught Duan Yingnian’s eye, causing his pupils to shrink abruptly.
“A piece of skull, fresh bloodstains, even with a hint of brain fluid…
Soone’s been killed?
And it was very recent.”
In an instant, grand and tidal Divine Sense swept in all directions, and nearly ten more figures also landed near the pond at this mont.
“Eh, Commander Duan, you’re here too?”
“What brings you here?”
“Reporting to Commander Duan, we were on duty on the outskirts of the Main Sect, and suddenly, an unusual thunderclap radiance and a trendous wave of spiritual power ca from this direction.
Since it’s close to the Main Temple, the captain ordered us to co and investigate!”
“Search in all directions, see if there are any suspicious figures!” Duan Yingnian’s expression was sowhat grim.
The discovery of bloodstains and a piece of skull here, combined with the no-show of the person who was supposed to et him, gave him an uneasy premonition that he might have missed sothing.
“Yes!”
The ten newly arrived Guardian Venerables of the Longevity Sect dispersed in all directions, each with eyes sharp as eagles!
“They’ve actually contacted my archenemy, Duan Yingnian.
Jiao Xi and Yua Hanjing are really vicious.
To deal with , have they stopped at nothing?”
Twenty li away, Ye Zhen, who saw all of this through the eyes of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten hidden among the clouds in the sky, suddenly turned cold.
When Ye Zhen had retreated just now, he had not taken the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten with him, instead he had let it continue hiding in the high-altitude clouds to observe who would co here to et with Liu Hong.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zhen actually saw it.
However, Ye Zhen was also feeling fortunate.
Luckily he arrived in ti.
If he had been even a hundred breaths later, the poisonous sche of Yua Hanjing and Jiao Xi against Ye Zhen might have been successful.
“Kitten, retreat slowly and be careful to conceal your tracks.”
Through his Divine Soul, Ye Zhen issued the order to retreat to the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, and Ye Zhen himself headed towards the center of Qinglan Martial City in the distance.
Ye Zhen, through the eyes of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, had already seen that the Guardian Venerables of the Longevity Sect who arrived later had spread out in all directions to search.
Ye Zhen had to leave as soon as possible.
Most importantly, the Longevity Sect’s search would definitely not dare to extend to places with lots of people.
As Ye Zhen expected, the Guardian Venerables of the Longevity Sect only searched outward for less than forty li before they stopped, even though the Longevity Sect is one of the Five Great Forces of Qinglan Martial City, they could not act too arrogantly.
“Reporting back to the commander, we have not discovered any suspicious traces!”
“Report to the commander, we have not found any notable individuals!”
As one Guardian Venerable after another reported back, Duan Yingnian’s brows furrowed into a chuan character shape.
Looking at the fresh skull in his hands, Duan Yingnian couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, “Ah, it’s still a step too late, I was overthinking when I received the Talisman Communication!”
“Withdraw!”
With the search yielding no results, Duan Yingnian could only reluctantly lead his n back to the Longevity Sect Headquarters.
As for searching with Eye Power from the sky, that was impossible.
This is Qinglan Martial City, with a population of nearly ten million, where martial artists constantly co and go, even at night.
Except for very remote places, in the sky, you really couldn’t make anything out.
About half an hour later, looking at the cloud of Cloud Qi slowly drifting above, Ye Zhen heaved a sigh of relief as he arranged for the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten to withdraw.
Without a doubt, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was the biggest aid to Ye Zhen on this trip, its only limit being the Bloodline Shackles, which prevented it from breaking through.
Ye Zhen had to be extrely cautious in his actions.
Without Ye Zhen at its side, if the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten were to be discovered by a Vein Forging Realm powerhouse, it would be a certain death.
Fortunately, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten’s natural talent for concealnt was amazing; hidden in the clouds and using the Universe Wishful Secret Technique to shrink and restrain its aura, it would be nearly impossible to find as long as the clouds were not scattered.
Still, even with such asures, Ye Zhen was quite worried about risking the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten fighting alone today!
“After the Spirit Returning Assembly is over, I must find a way to help Kitten break through its Bloodline Shackles!”
As the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten swiftly burrowed into Ye Zhen’s arms, bringing a trace of coolness, Ye Zhen also made several zigzags through Qinglan Martial City.
He found a relatively secluded place and planned to inspect Liu Hong’s Storage Ring.
Ye Zhen wanted to see if there was any clue inside Liu Hong’s Storage Ring that could help him fully understand Yua Hanjing’s poisonous sche against him.
Only by knowing the true intent of the opponent could Ye Zhen respond properly!
Otherwise, even if Ye Zhen were to kill Liu Hong now and hinder the implentation of Yua Hanjing’s poisonous sche, tomorrow there would be Zhao Hong, and the day after Wu Hong.
Yua Hanjing’s sches against him would still be carried out.
Of course, to completely sever the root of this poisonous sche, the solution would be to kill Yua Hanjing.
However, given Ye Zhen’s current strength, this was basically impossible.
Yua Hanri was a presence that could make even Establishnt Realm Kings and Void Kings wary.
Ye Zhen estimated that even if Yua Hanjing stood still, Ye Zhen could possibly kill Yua Hanjing by using the Spirit Energy Cannon from the Demon Soul Hall.
But is that likely?
Liu Hong, as a Fourth Stage of Vein Forging Realm powerhouse and the captain of the Sun and Moon Divine Guard Third Guard Team, not only had a High Grade Treasure Ring as his Storage Ring, but the contents inside also made Ye Zhen smile a little.
Closing in on the wealth of four hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystals, it increased Ye Zhen’s wealth by a considerable amount.
Various healing and cultivation Pills, especially the presence of a bottle of Three Treasures Returning Spirit Pill.
However, what delighted Ye Zhen even more was a Supre Treasure Sword inside Liu Hong’s Storage Ring.
It looked clear as water, with the word “Flowing Gold” inscribed on the hilt, and the Sword radiated Gold Elent Spiritual Power from within, hinting that it could contain the Demon Core of a gold-elent Demon Beast.
This was a very exciting discovery for Ye Zhen; Supre Treasure Artifacts could typically withstand one-tenth of the power of Purple Spirit, and though he hadn’t experienced it yet, it could be a lifesaver for Ye Zhen in a critical mont.
In addition to saving his life, with this Supre Treasure Sword to bolster him, the power of Ye Zhen’s Sword Heart Enlightennt Heart Sword could be greatly enhanced.
A Supre Treasure Sword, at the very least, could increase Ye Zhen’s Spiritual Power by seventy percent.
One could only imagine how powerful the Heart Sword wielded with this Supre Treasure Sword would be.
With this unexpected acquisition of the Supre Treasure Sword, items like Spirit Wine, Spirit Plants, and a few Mid-grade Treasure Swords found in the Storage Ring were all just bonuses.
At last, Ye Zhen’s gaze rested on two green Jade Talismans within Liu Hong’s Storage Ring; these were recently inscribed Jade Talismans.
Taking one in hand, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense entered one of the green Jade Talismans.
The mont he saw what was recorded inside the green Jade Talisman, Ye Zhen’s face went deathly pale!(To be continued.
