Blue Star, Linping City!
Su Jie stood inside an abandoned, unfinished building in a deserted area and stowed away the ancient mirror behind him.
"Trying to catch me? Go eat my dust."
Humming a cheerful little tune, Su Jie released the Scouting Dragonfly, then took the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword from his storage bag.
The White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword was incredibly light. Its entire blade had been crafted from the spine of some unknown demon beast, giving it an ivory-white sheen and making it far harder than steel.
The moment he picked it up, both its smooth surface and razor-sharp edge radiated a powerful chill.
There was even a faint bloody smell wafting from the blade. This was a slaughtering sword that inspired fear at a glance.
Su Jie raised the sword and aimed it at the ground, giving it a gentle swing.
In an instant, cold light burst forth and killing intent spread everywhere. The entire sword seemed to come alive.
The flying sword, formed from section after section of spinal bone, could contract, curl, and bend freely. It was like a giant python flicking its tongue, or a fierce eagle diving to strike. It carved a crack several meters long into the concrete floor.
This was merely the most rudimentary application. Su Jie then bit his fingertip and dripped blood mixed with his spiritual energy onto the sword.
Buzz, buzz!
The White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword began to tremble, as though resisting and struggling.
Su Jie poured in even more spiritual energy. After more than ten minutes, the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword finally quieted down and was formally refined into a flying sword he could wield with ease.
"Rise."
With a soft shout, the flying sword suddenly rose into the air. It first circled around Su Jie in tight, nimble loops, like a slender silver bird clinging fondly to its master.
The moment Su Jie willed it, the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword shot out. Like lightning tearing through the air, it let out a sharp, heart-stirring shriek.
Boom!
The White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword pierced through a reinforced-concrete building, punching a hole straight through it. Like a meteor crashing to earth, its edge was fully revealed.
In that instant, boundless killing aura spread through the surroundings.
Wherever the flying sword passed, nothing could withstand even the slightest fraction of its power.
Whether tree branches or reinforced concrete, everything was pierced with ease.
When flying close to the ground, it sent waves of earth three feet high surging upward and carved a deep ravine through the ground with the sharp Sword Qi of the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword.
Whoosh!
The White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword flew past Su Jie's side, whipping up a fierce wind that made his clothes snap and howl. Only afterward did the deafening sound of it cleaving the air reach his ears.
The scene was so shocking that the human eye could not keep up with the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword's speed. All one could hear was a thunderous roar that shook the soul.
The sword's ringing made the surrounding trees tremble slightly, pounding against people's eardrums.
The only thing the naked eye could catch was streak after streak of silver-white light flashing through the sky, like a light brushstroke drawn across the heavens.
As the sword edge painted through the air, the ground split wherever the silver-white light sped past, sending bricks and stones flying. A high-rise building was pierced amid the rumbling, and the flying sword bored through five or six layers of reinforced concrete before finally exhausting its spiritual might and slowing down.
Yet amid this destructive spectacle was a beauty of power taken to its extreme.
After controlling the sword for a while, Su Jie had consumed a great deal of spiritual energy and had no choice but to reduce the supply. The White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword's speed slowed considerably.
Even so, the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword remained immensely powerful. It could easily pierce reinforced concrete. If it were used against people, there was no need to maintain such tremendous power.
"As expected of the finest among low-grade flying swords."
At last, Su Jie recalled the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword. Looking at the flying sword, still gleaming as if brand-new and completely untouched by dust, he could not stop a smile from appearing at the corners of his mouth.
"Still, it would be better if its attack range were a little greater. Looks like I'll have to rely on the Azure Rainbow Sword Art."
Su Jie stroked the sword's icy blade.
Limited by Su Jie's spiritual sense and spiritual energy, the flying sword could currently attack only within a four-hundred-meter radius around him.
Su Jie took out the jade slip containing the Azure Rainbow Sword Art from his storage bag, sat cross-legged on the ground, and transmitted the jade slip's knowledge into his Sea of Consciousness to study and comprehend it.
That comprehension lasted an entire day and night.
When Su Jie opened his eyes again, there was a hint of delight in them.
The Azure Rainbow Sword Art was divided into three parts: sword control, body sword, and sword refinement.
Sword control was the technique and ability to manipulate a flying sword. The body sword was a method of fighting while wielding a sword in one hand. Sword refinement explained how to maintain and cultivate a flying sword so that it could connect with its host's thoughts, becoming as natural as moving one's own arm and ultimately reaching the state of unity between man and sword.
Because the Azure Rainbow Sword Art was not especially complicated, Su Jie mastered it quickly.
When Su Jie once again tried controlling the flying sword while applying the techniques of the Azure Rainbow Sword Art—
As expected, the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword was now one-third faster. Speed was power, so its might naturally increased along with it.
Besides its speed, the White Bone Heavenly Sha Sword's attack range had also increased greatly, with its maximum attack radius extending to eight hundred meters.
"Now I have long-range attack capabilities too. I can kill an enemy with one sword from eight hundred meters away."
Su Jie could not help imagining himself riding a flying sword, its ringing cry erupting before the sound even arrived, while an enemy eight hundred meters away was beheaded by the flying sword as easily as reaching into a bag. The scene was simply too cool for words.
Of course, compared with shooting and killing an enemy machine gunner from eight hundred li away, this level was still short by—well, a billion points.
After conducting a series of tests, Su Jie fully grasped the might of the flying sword and was finally satisfied.
After cleaning up the traces around him, Su Jie packed up his things and left the abandoned unfinished-building district.
Two days later!
Jingjiang No. 1 Villa.
Liu Yingying lay on Su Jie's chest like a kitten, with a lingering blush still coloring her face.
"Su Jie, how long will you stay this time after coming back?"
"I'll have free time for a month or two."
Su Jie pinched Liu Yingying's delicate cheek, plump with collagen.
The rest period he had received from the Command Hall was one month. Su Jie had plenty of time to cultivate slowly, and no one on Blue Star would disturb him. That was also why he had purchased so many cultivation resources.
"Really?"
Liu Yingying's eyes lit up.
"Would I lie to you?"
"Hmph, wasn't I tricked into your hands?"
Liu Yingying spoke with a little shyness and a little pride.
"It was clearly my sincerity that moved you."
If money counted as sincerity, then Su Jie's sincerity had certainly been more than enough.
Getting down from the bed, Su Jie checked the time on his phone and said, "It's about time. Manager Liang just sent me a message. He's waiting at the airport. Get ready—we're heading to Chan Country."
Linping City International Airport.
Su Jie stepped down from the car. Liu Yingying wore a black suit, her crisp uniform accentuating her elegant figure and intellectual air. She followed closely beside Su Jie, drawing envious glances from who knew how many men.
"President Su, these are the people I brought. Greet President Su—this is the true owner of our Tianyuan Home Furnishings."
Liang Lianjun walked over with several Tianyuan Home Furnishings employees and had them greet Su Jie.
"Hello, President Su."
The other employees called out together. It was their first time seeing Su Jie, the legendary true owner. They were curious that he was so young, but they did not dare show it, afraid of offending him. After all, well-paid jobs were not easy to find these days.
"Mm. Let's board the plane first."
Su Jie nodded and turned his gaze toward the passenger plane parked at the airport.
The takeoff of his career on Blue Star would begin in Chan Country.
Only a country in chaos, with a weak state apparatus, could serve as the ideal starting ground for his ambitions to rise.
Sobbing, rolling around all over the floor, begging for follows!!!
