Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 409: Ninth Brother Appears

"Su Jiu Yuan?"

Wang Shan Gong observed the newcor's aura and discovered that the other party's cultivation had already reached a level close to City Lord Level.

In reality, if one were to use a simpler realm classification, City Lord Level is equivalent to mid-stage Wuji, Continent-City Level is equivalent to late-stage Wuji, and Near King-level is the peak of Wuji.

And this opponent's strength had reached the peak of early-stage Wuji, not far from mid-stage Wuji, making him much stronger than Su Yuan.

But he still hadn't reached City Lord Level, so Wang Shan Gong did not take him seriously.

"Old Yao, let's take him down together!" Wang Shan Gong said.

"Wait, let report to the Large Squad Commander first!"

Wang Shan Gong said dismissively:

"It's just a asly Near City Lord Level, just kill him and be done with it!"

"If we report it, we can earn an extra share of credit!" Squad Leader Yao replied calmly.

Wang Shan Gong revealed a smile: "Old Yao, you're still the clever one!"

After the report was finished, the two of them looked at Su Yuan again, their gaze now as if looking at a dead man!

Su Jiu Yuan, however, had a cold and sharp gaze, remaining calm and composed in the face of nurous enemies.

"Kill!"

The two unleashed their secret techniques once more.

One move was a city suppressing the void, the other was a divine dragon descending to the mortal world.

Facing this scene, Su Yuan's expression remained placid as he slashed out with a single sword strike.

A sword mountain condensed into existence, reaching a massive size of one light-year. The Chaotic Energy within a hundred light-years around was all controlled by the sword mountain, rging into it. The sword mountain grew out of thin air to ten light-years.

Seeing this, Wang Shan Gong was unconcerned;

this move was rely at City Lord Level, and the two of them could join forces to fight it.

However, right at that mont, the size of the sword mountain shrank out of thin air to one light-year, its power skyrocketing another tenfold!

This wasn't a transformation technique;

this was the result of the 145 types of rules within the sword mountain combining more harmoniously. The core of the sword mountain technique underwent a tamorphosis, naturally causing its power to soar!

"Go!"

Su Yuan's will controlled the sword mountain as it sped forward.

Wang Shan Gong and Old Yao exchanged a glance, rging their two techniques into one to jointly face the sword mountain.

Boom!

The sword edge of the mountain severed the rule bricks of the city, causing a corner of the city wall to collapse. Hundreds of the divine dragon's scales were also sliced off, blood flowing freely.

Over two hundred people joining forces were actually at a disadvantage!

"This guy isn't right!"

Wang Shan Gong realized the formidable nature of Su Jiu Yuan and imdiately called for Old Yao to retreat. But when he turned to look, the divine dragon had already appeared in the distance, swiftly navigating through the Chaotic Energy, fleeing for its life!

"Old Yao!"

Wang Shan Gong roared, "Why are you running?"

His answer was a second attack from Su Yuan's sword mountain!

Another large chunk of wall fell from Wang Shan Gong's city, and several cultivators suffered backlash, their auras wilting.

The imposing pressure of the city also diminished by several degrees!

"Old Yao, get the hell back here! If I fall because of this, you'll be sentenced for desertion!"

Wang Shan Gong was frantic!

However, the divine dragon swished its tail once more, its agile form easily putting distance between them within the Chaotic Energy at a speed more than ten tis that of the city's flight.

That Old Yao's speed was far greater than Wang Shan Gong's.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Shan Gong lost sight of Old Yao's shadow. Left with no choice, he could only face Su Yuan alone.

But when he turned back, he discovered four sword mountains had appeared on the four sides of his city, all simultaneously attacking him!

"Hold!"

Wang Shan Gong bellowed, and the city instantly restored itself, repairing the damage from earlier.

But now, facing four enemies alone, and with his own side's strength greatly diminished, how could he possibly hold them off!

All four city walls shattered simultaneously. Over a hundred cultivators perished on the spot, their bodies and True Spirits breaking apart as the walls crumbled.

Wang Shan Gong, dragging his severely wounded body, fled tens of thousands of light-years away.

When he finally stopped, a sword mountain had already appeared before him, cleaving him apart!

Wang Shan Gong's body shattered into dust, but a streak of light escaped at an astonishing speed, fleeing into the distance.

Su Yuan's eyes lit up: "What a splendid application of rules technique."

[Balancing Work and Rest] was instantly activated. Su Yuan imdiately grasped this technique, and his maximum speed skyrocketed.

Furthermore, the combat techniques of the previous two were also comprehended by him in an instant.

In the span of a few breaths, his understanding of City Lord Level combat power had nearly reached perfection.

Now, with a casual sword slash, he could unleash City Lord Level combat power.

Su Yuan attempted to shrink the form of the sword mountain.

One attempt, and the sword mountain shrank from one light-year to 0.9 light-years. Another attempt, and it shrank to 0.8 light-years.

Every attempt yielded results. This was the effect of his [Once Proved, Forever Proved] trait.

For him, as long as he tried, he could make progress. As long as he made progress, it would solidify and continue to improve.

After rely a hundred attempts, he had shrunk the sword mountain to a size of tens of thousands of miles. Now it looked more like a sword than a mountain.

And the power of this casually created sword technique had also increased dozens of tis!

During the ti he was experinting, Tie He had already received intelligence about the disturbance in the canyon.

Another enemy cultivator had appeared, and his strength was extrely formidable.

He imdiately piloted the Flying Ship to deal with it.

Along the way, he saw a streak of escaping light flying back.

Appearing before Tie He, the light stopped, transforming into Wang Shan Gong's True Spirit form.

"Where is your body?" Tie He asked in surprise.

"Destroyed!" Wang Shan Gong's face was pale. "All my team mbers have fallen in battle! That bastard Old Yao actually fled from the battlefield! He's a battlefield deserter! I request Commander Tie He punish him for his cri."

Tie He frowned.

Not long after.

The divine dragon returned, dispersing into Old Yao and the team he led.

Old Yao saw Wang Shan Gong glaring at him with fury but remained expressionless as he reported to Tie He: "Commander, we suddenly encountered a powerful enemy. We were no match and could only execute a strategic withdrawal. If we had fought to the death, we would have also perished on the spot. The situation required imdiate action;

please forgive our offense, Commander. Furthermore, this battle was also initiated by Wang Shan Gong. My original intention was to wait for the Commander's arrival. I ask the Commander to judge this matter clearly."

"Yao Guan! You still have the face to..." Wang Shan Gong raged.

"Enough!" Tie He cut off Wang Shan Gong's words, saying, "Now, take to eliminate that person!"

"Yes! I left a mark on him!"

Old Yao imdiately transford into the divine dragon again, leading the way ahead.

Wang Shan Gong was stunned. When had Old Yao placed the mark? He hadn't even noticed!

Tie He looked at Wang Shan Gong: "You were reckless and greedy for rit;

this isn't the first ti. After returning, you will be relieved of your position as dium Squad Commander and report to the logistics departnt for a new assignnt!"

Wang Shan Gong's face turned pale, then red.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he accepted the order: "I obey! This subordinate will return now, not wishing to hold back the main force!"

"Then go!" Tie He waved his sleeve.

Wang Shan Gong borrowed so resources from a friend to restore his physical body. His realm only recovered to early-stage Hunyuan Great Luo, but he no longer wanted to stay on this Flying Ship. He directly leaped off the ship and fled into the distance.

Everyone on the Flying Ship shook their heads upon seeing this. Who didn't know Wang Shan Gong's temperant? This ti, he had truly tasted the bitter fruit.
