Blue Star, Linping City!
Su Jie stood in a deserted, abandoned unfinished building, putting away the ancient mirror behind him.
"Want to chase me? Go eat dust."
Humming a cheerful little tune, Su Jie released his reconnaissance dragonfly and then took out the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword from his storage bag.
The White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword was very light. The entire blade was forged from the spine of some unknown Demon Beast, presenting a pure white luster like ivory, far harder than steel.
Upon holding it, an intense chill emanated from both its smooth surface and its sharp edge.
The sword body even faintly carried a scent of blood; this was a killing sword that inspired awe.
Su Jie raised the sword, aimed at the ground, and swung it gently.
Instantly, a cold light bloomed, and killing intent permeated the air. The entire sword seemed to come alive.
The flying sword, made of segmented spinal bones, coiled and bent freely, like a giant python flicking its tongue or a hawk swooping down to attack, carving a crack several meters long into the concrete ground.
This was just the most basic application. Su Jie then bit his fingertip and dripped his blood mixed with his Spiritual Energy onto it.
Buzz buzz!
The White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword vibrated, as if resisting and struggling.
Su Jie poured in more spiritual energy. After more than ten minutes, the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword finally quieted down, officially being refined by Su Jie into a flying sword he could wield freely.
"Up."
With a soft shout, the flying sword suddenly lifted into the air. It first circled Su Jie, like a slender silver bird lingering around its master.
As Su Jie's will moved, the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword shot out instantly, piercing the air like lightning, emitting a sharp, heart-pounding hum.
BOOM!
The White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword pierced through a reinforced concrete building, creating a large hole that went all the way through, like a falling meteor, its sharpness fully revealed.
In that instant, an endless aura of slaughter spread out.
Wherever the flying sword passed, nothing could withstand it in the slightest.
Whether it was tree branches or reinforced concrete, they were easily pierced.
When flying close to the ground, the earth itself was kicked up three feet high, and a deep gully was carved by the sharp sword energy of the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword.
Whoosh!
The White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword flew past Su Jie's side, stirring up a gust of wind that made his clothes flutter. Only then did the deafening sound of cleaving wind reach his ears.
This scene was too shocking. The human eye could not keep up with the speed of the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword; only the earth-shattering roar could be heard.
The sword's hum caused the surrounding trees to tremble slightly, impacting people's eardrums.
What the human eye could capture were only streaks of silver-white light flashing rapidly, cutting through the sky like delicate brushstrokes.
As the sword's edge drew its picture, wherever the silver-white light flew, the ground cracked, bricks and stones flew, and a tall building was pierced amidst the roar. The flying sword consecutively penetrated five or six layers of reinforced concrete before its spiritual power was depleted and its speed decreased.
Amidst this destructive spectacle, there was a beauty of ultimate power.
After some manipulation, Su Jie's internal spiritual energy was greatly depleted, forcing him to reduce the spiritual energy supply. The White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword's speed slowed considerably.
Even so, the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword remained powerful, easily piercing reinforced concrete. If it were used to attack a person, there would be no need to maintain such great power.
"As expected of the finest among low-grade flying swords."
Finally, Su Jie recalled the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword. Looking at the sword, which was still as clean as new and unstained by any dust, he couldn't help but smile.
"However, it would be great if the attack range could be a bit stronger. It seems I still need to rely on the Azure Rainbow Sword Art."
Su Jie caressed the cold sword body.
Limited by Su Jie's divine sense and Spiritual Energy, the flying sword could only attack within a four-hundred-meter radius around him.
He took out the jade slip containing the Azure Rainbow Sword Art from his storage bag, sat cross-legged on the ground, and transferred the knowledge from the jade slip into his sea of consciousness to study and comprehend.
This comprehension lasted for a full day and night.
When Su Jie opened his eyes again, there was a hint of joy in them.
The Azure Rainbow Sword Art was divided into three parts: Sword Control, Sword Body, and Sword Refinement.
Sword Control was the technique and ability to manipulate the flying sword. Sword Body was the method of fighting with a sword in one hand. Sword Refinement was how to maintain and refine the flying sword, allowing it to connect with the host's will, reaching the realm of effortless control, and achieving unity between man and sword.
Because the Azure Rainbow Sword Art was not overly complex, Su Jie mastered it quickly.
When Su Jie attempted to control the flying sword again, applying the techniques of the Azure Rainbow Sword Art.
As expected, this time the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword's speed increased by one-third. Speed was power, and its destructive force naturally increased accordingly.
In addition to speed, the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword's attack range also greatly increased, with the maximum attack radius extending to 800 meters.
"Now I also have long-range attack capabilities. I can kill enemies within eight hundred meters with a single sword strike."
Su Jie couldn't help but imagine himself controlling the flying sword, its hum sounding out, before the sound even reached, an enemy eight hundred meters away would have their head severed by the flying sword as easily as picking something up from a pocket. That image was simply too cool.
Of course, at this level, it was still a bit short of taking out an enemy machine gunner from eight hundred li away.
After a series of tests, Su Jie fully grasped the power of the flying sword, and only then was he satisfied.
Su Jie cleaned up the surrounding traces and tidied his belongings before leaving the abandoned unfinished building area.
Two days later!
Jingjiang No. 1 Villa.
Liu Yingying snuggled against Su Jie's chest like a kitten, a lingering blush still on her face.
"Su Jie, how long will you be staying this time?"
"A month or two, I'm free."
Su Jie pinched Liu Yingying's tender, collagen-rich cheek.
He had a month of rest time from the Command Hall, enough time for Su Jie to cultivate slowly. No one on Blue Star would disturb him, which was why he had bought so many cultivation resources.
"Really!"
Liu Yingying's eyes lit up.
"Do you think I'd lie to you?"
"Hmph, I was tricked into being yours!"
Liu Yingying said shyly, yet with a hint of pride.
"It was my sincerity that moved you."
If money counted as sincerity, then Su Jie's sincerity was abundant.
Getting out of bed, Su Jie glanced at the time on his phone and said, "It's about time. Manager Liang just messaged me. He's waiting at the airport. Let's get ready to head to Zen Country."
Linping City International Airport.
Su Jie stepped out of the car. Liu Yingying, dressed in a black suit, her crisp uniform highlighting her elegant figure and intellectual aura, followed closely beside Su Jie, drawing envious glances from countless men.
"Mr. Su, these are the people I brought. You all call him Mr. Su, he's the true boss of Tianyuan Home Furnishings."
Liang Lianjun walked over with several Tianyuan Home Furnishings employees, instructing them to greet Su Jie.
"Hello, Mr. Su."
The other employees greeted him. It was their first time meeting the legendary boss, Su Jie, and they were surprised by how young he was, but they dared not voice it, fearing they might offend him. After all, good jobs were hard to come by these days.
"Mm, let's board first."
Su Jie nodded, his gaze sweeping towards the passenger plane parked at the airport.
The takeoff of his career on Blue Star would begin in Zen Country.
Only in a country where the nation was in chaos and the state's power was weak could his ambitions truly rise.
