Sword Riding Flight

"I'm a Psionic Warrior now, so naturally, I need equipment for a Psionic Warrior. And with my current mental strength, with equipment, I can unleash the combat power of an Intermediate Martial Artist. Therefore, compared to close combat, ranged attacks are more advantageous for me."

With this thought, he quickly found the place where Psionic Warrior equipment was stored.

The female staff member beside him, seeing Ye Cang arrive at this location, was filled with shock in her eyes.

Who held higher status, a Warrior or a Psionic Warrior, was self-evident.

Thinking this, she hurried forward and respectfully introduced the short sword in his hand to Ye Cang.

"Sir, this is a 'King Slayer' series flying sword used by Psionic Warriors. The highest King-grade flying swords can break through the defenses of King-grade monsters."

"And this one is a third-tier quality flying sword, worth 3000 Huaxia Coins each!"

In Ye Cang's hand was a short sword about 15cm long, small and exquisite, but its sharpness was stronger than the A2-grade God Slaying Sword he had seen before.

However, upon closer inspection, the sharpest part was only an inch from the tip.

The materials in other areas were quite ordinary.

But hearing the price of this item, Ye Cang's eyes lit up.

Third-tier quality, capable of breaking through the defenses of high-level Beast Soldiers, its power was quite formidable.

Moreover, compared to sword-type weapons, the price was lower.

While contemplating, he raised his gaze to a short sword above.

Seeing his gaze, the female staff member continued to introduce:

"This is a fourth-tier quality King Slayer flying sword, worth 10,000 Huaxia Coins each."

"This one is a fifth-tier quality King Slayer flying sword, worth 50,000 Huaxia Coins each."

"Above that are the sixth-tier quality ones..."

After listening to the staff member's introductions one by one, Ye Cang examined them a few times, his gaze settling on a fifth-tier quality King Slayer flying sword.

"Six fifth-tier quality King Slayer flying swords, I'll take six!"

After speaking, Ye Cang walked towards the exit, adding casually:

"And one second-tier quality God Slaying Sword!"

With the existence of the skill point system, his strength grew rapidly. The fifth-tier quality King Slayer flying sword, capable of breaking through the defenses of an Intermediate Beast General, was sufficient for him at the moment.

A moment later, the female staff member brought the prepared long sword and flying swords to Ye Cang in the lounge area.

"Sir, here are the items you requested. Please inspect them."

Looking at the items on the table, Ye Cang opened them and inspected them carefully.

Something worth over a million. If he was cheated, losing money would be a small matter; dying in the Wilderness Zone would be the most frustrating.

After inspecting, Ye Cang took out his bank card and directly paid 900,000 Huaxia Coins.

Then, he purchased some survival supplies for the wilderness, as well as a Gray Mist Zone Detector, rented a car, and headed straight for the Gray Mist Zone outside the city.

He didn't want to just wait for death.

If the Green Python Squad came looking for him, he would surely be doomed.

This time, leaving the city, he decided to quickly improve his cultivation so that even if trouble arose, he would have room to maneuver.

Meanwhile.

"Has Yu Bing not returned yet?"

In a room, a fierce-looking middle-aged man spoke slowly.

This person was Xue Qing, the captain of the Green Python Squad.

"Not yet! However, there were traces of battle at his last known location, so I suspect he has likely met with misfortune!"

Beside him, someone spoke grimly.

"Heh heh! The edge of the Wilderness Zone, the ones active there are all trash. Daring to kill someone from my Green Python Squad is simply suicidal."

"Have you found any clues?"

Xue Qing asked coldly.

Hearing this, someone hesitantly replied.

"Not many squads returned from that location that day. Two of them had strength comparable to ours: the Drizzle Squad and the Dusk Raven Squad. However, these two squads have no enmity with us, so they shouldn't have attacked Yu Bing without reason."

"What about those trash squads?"

"There are many such squads, over seventeen or eighteen returned. They are no match for Yu Bing."

"Don't let go of even the smallest clue. Go visit these squads one by one first."

Leaving the city, the car entered the Gray Mist within a few minutes.

Ye Cang immediately turned on the Gray Mist Zone Detector.

This was the tablet Lin Yan had in his hand earlier, capable of sensing fluctuations within a hundred-meter radius of the Gray Mist Zone, and it would also provide timely alerts if there were signs of fierce beasts.

A hundred-meter radius might seem close, but a Beginner Martial Artist's vision was only about fifty to sixty meters.

With this item, one could at least prepare in advance.

However, the one in his hand was the cheapest model, yet it still cost a hefty eighty thousand Huaxia Coins.

The captain, Lin Yan, had one that could detect two hundred meters, but it cost nearly a million.

As for anything better, they were worth millions, far beyond what their Rock Mountain Squad could afford.

He continued forward along a road.

Looking at the hazy scenery around him, Ye Cang slowly released his Psionic Energy, spreading it out in all directions.

Instantly, the scenery within a radius of tens of meters appeared in his mind.

However, as the sensing distance increased, he clearly felt an invisible pressure emanating from the Gray Mist, suppressing the spread of his Psionic Energy.

Even at his limit, he could only sense the scenery within about fifty meters.

After trying it out, Ye Cang withdrew his Psionic Energy and focused on driving.

Soon, he arrived at a new area.

This was Zone 0286.

It was still considered an edge area within the Gray Mist Zone.

Glancing at the map, Ye Cang found a place to hide his vehicle. Then, he took his weapons and supplies and headed in one direction.

With his current combat strength as an Intermediate Martial Artist, he could survive alone in the edge areas of the Wilderness Zone.

Walking on the road, Ye Cang had a thought, and a King Slayer Flying Sword flew from his waist to his front.

He began practicing controlling the flying sword with his Psionic Energy, so he could maneuver it more smoothly in combat.

With continuous practice, he had easily mastered one King Slayer Flying Sword.

Boom!

Ye Cang had another thought, and a three-meter-tall boulder about thirty meters ahead exploded violently.

The next moment, a stream of light rapidly flickered amidst the flying debris.

With each flash of the light, the shattered rocks exploded again.

In less than ten seconds, there wasn't a single piece of broken stone longer than 20cm left on the ground.

"Psionic Energy attacks, their power is truly astonishing. This kind of attack could probably easily kill a Beginner Martial Artist, and even against an Intermediate Martial Artist, it wouldn't be at a disadvantage."

Looking at the effect caused by the King Slayer Flying Sword, Ye Cang rejoiced inwardly.

Afterward, he had another thought and tried to control the second King Slayer Flying Sword at his waist.

However, after several attempts, it could only fly; it couldn't effectively unleash combat power.

"It seems my control isn't strong enough yet!"

Sighing, Ye Cang recalled one King Slayer Flying Sword.

Two hours later.

As his control over the King Slayer Flying Sword became more proficient, Ye Cang quickly discovered a new use for it.

Sword Riding Flight!

With a thought, the flying sword floated before him, and he stepped directly onto it.

Soon, the flying sword shakily lifted him and began to fly forward.

However, the speed was very slow, and Ye Cang couldn't maintain his balance on the flying sword.

But with continuous practice, the flight speed increased significantly, and he could also maintain his balance steadily.

Several minutes later, Ye Cang jumped down from mid-air, panting.

He discovered that this operation consumed a tremendous amount of Psionic Energy.

With his current Psionic Energy, he couldn't sustain it for more than a few minutes.

"It seems Sword Riding Flight can only be used to escape danger for now."

Muttering to himself, Ye Cang looked around and found that he had unknowingly appeared before a dilapidated village.

He could also hear the roars of monsters.

The detector vibrated, and a red dot was flashing, approaching Ye Cang's location.
