The might of a Spirit Treasure: slaying an Advanced Martial General with one thrust
How could Elder Feng not know what a treasure Spirit Treasure is?
No one in the entire Heaven City can possess this thing... Whether it's Lin Fanlong, Meng Qianqiu, the Ye Family Zhou Family, the Zhou family, or the Sky City Governor, what they desire most is to own a Spirit Treasure of their own!
Whoever possesses Spirit Treasure gains power far surpassing that of other Martial Commander... which is tantamount to having the final say in the entire Heaven City.
But only those at least Intermediate Martial Marshal are qualified to possess such treasures.
However, unexpectedly...
Su Zhan actually had one!
"That Spirit Treasure seems to be quite damaged... but its residual power is still present."
Elder Feng was examining it closely.
"Buzz--"
The White Jade Longsword trembled and then emitted a loud hum that echoed through the sky.
At the same time, it frantically drained Su Zhan's Qi and Blood through Su Zhan's palm!
Both the Poison Dagger Advanced Martial General and the Flame Advanced Martial General heard this strange sound... To them, the sound was nothing unusual; what was unusual was that the sound had actually drawn upon the World Power!
They suddenly turned their heads and stared intently at Su Zhan.
The moment their eyes caught sight of the White Jade Longsword, both of their pupils involuntarily contracted.
"A... Spirit Treasure?!"
Almost instantly, an astonishing greed and fanaticism surged in their eyes, as if they couldn't wait to rush forward and seize the Spirit Treasure sword for themselves... Even if they didn't use it, they could sell it or exchange it for Spirit Treasure they were good at using.
But the next moment, they changed their minds.
The White Jade Longsword frantically extracted the Qi and Blood from Su Zhan's body, and then a dazzling white light condensed at its tip.
Su Zhan's hands trembled slightly as he glared fiercely at the Flame Advanced Martial General was still fleeing and had already escaped a kilometer away in the blink of an eye...
He thrust his White Jade Longsword forward with a sudden thrust—
"Die!"
In an instant, a thin white Sword-Ray emerged from the tip of the sword, growing larger and longer in the wind, like a light sword drawn from its sheath. It rushed straight at the fleeing Flame Advanced Martial General with unimaginable speed!
No... no!!
The Flame Advanced Martial General leaped into the air and fled at top speed.
When he realized Spirit Treasure's attack, his face was filled with terror and despair.
He tried to dodge.
But his opponent was so fast that he only had time to react, but not time to make any move.
Laugh!
A sound so soft it was almost imperceptible as to pierce flesh.
The Flame Advanced Martial General froze mid-air, staring blankly down at the small Sword-Ray protruding from his heart... The Sword-Ray abruptly withdrew.
Smack
Inside his body, his heart, which had only had a small opening, silently exploded.
"How... how could he have...?"
The Flame Advanced Martial General collapsed to the ground.
Until his last breath, he couldn't understand what was going on.
The agreement was that the other person was a genius who improved a little faster.
It was agreed that the only troublesome guard on the other side was Elder Feng, whose strength was only at the Beginner Martial Artist, pitifully weak.
The agreement was that the entire Assassination wouldn't even take half a minute, and once it was over, he could leave gracefully and go back to collect his reward...
But the truth is...
That kid can unleash the power of Advanced Martial General.
That kid can summon five Masked Monsters that also display the strength of Advanced Martial General.
The most outrageous thing ever... that kid actually has Spirit Treasure!
And so, filled with resentment and bitterness, the light in the eyes of the Flame Advanced Martial General completely dimmed, and he lost all his vitality!
"Dead... dead?!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the fleeing Poison Dagger Advanced Martial General trembled. The burning desire and greed in his eyes for the Spirit Treasure vanished completely. He hurriedly turned and ran as fast as he could, not daring to pause for even a moment... for fear that Su Zhan would also stab him!
However, Su Zhan clearly did not have that energy at this point.
"Hahaha..."
Su Zhan put away the Spirit Treasure, which was now even more damaged, panting heavily, sweat streaming down his face.
Spirit Treasure is truly amazing!
It was just an Ordinary Grade strike, yet it nearly drained his Qi and Blood!
Although he was a bit weak from burning his Qi and Blood, he had at least taken two Eighth-grade Pills, so his recovery speed was very fast... He was able to find time to recover to this extent even under these circumstances, which shows that Spirit Treasure are not something that Martial General level can easily control, and even a general Martial Marshal level cannot!
"Mr. Su, are you alright?"
Elder Feng came over and asked with concern.
"Elder Feng, please wait a moment."
Call!
A gust of wind swept by, accompanied by a faint rumble of thunder.
Su Zhan swiftly arrived before the corpse of the Flame Advanced Martial General and, without a word, removed its Space Ring... He didn't immediately remove the corpse, knowing that the commotion would be too great and someone would surely come to question him, needing evidence.
He examined it carefully.
He completely ignored Gold Coin, pills, Spirit Artifact, and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
As expected.
"Found it! A rubbing of the 'Three Twists Tyrant Fire Saber'!"
Su Zhan's eyes gleamed, "Jiu Huo, I'm leaving it to you!"
Jiu Huo: "Thank you, boss!!!"
"Ding! Your Cultivation Method 'Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Saber' has absorbed the Cultivation Method 'Three Twists Tyrant Fire Saber' and is evolving..."
The system notification arrived, and Su Zhan was filled with anticipation.
The significance of Jiu Huo advancing to the Earth Grade Technique is quite different from learning a new Earth Grade Technique... Not only can it directly bring him the most substantial improvement in strength, but most importantly, it can create a cultivation Cultivation Method Avatar that is 100% synchronized with his True Self strength!
Suddenly.
"Who dares to openly fight in Heaven City?!"
"Absolutely outrageous!"
Angered shouts filled the sky.
Su Zhan looked up following the sound and saw a ball of light leap up from a tall building in the distance, traversing the air before landing... Although there were still several kilometers to go, in less than a minute, the other party had already appeared on the long bridge.
The middle-aged man, dressed in a black robe, exuded an imposing aura of power.
Martial Marshal level!
"Your Excellency."
Elder Feng approached, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Just now, an Advanced Martial General ambushed members of my Lin Household, but I have already killed him."
Your Excellency the Governor... the Sky City Governor!
Only then did Su Zhan realize the true identity of the middle-aged man in black robes.
There are a total of five Martial Marshal level in Heaven City.
The four individuals come from four different Four Great Lineages.
The last one is the ruler of the entire Heaven City, the Sky City Governor... who can also be called the City Lord.
The governor was appointed by the emperor and was stationed in Heaven City.
Now that people are openly fighting and causing huge destruction, it's clear from the noise that it's at least a battle between Martial General level... How could he, as the governor, possibly turn a blind eye?
From the moment he received the news to the moment he arrived here, it took him less than five minutes.
But quite a few things happened in those five minutes.
"Killed?!"
A strange look appeared in the eyes of the Sky City Governor.
His gaze passed over Elder Feng and landed on Su Zhan. It lingered for only a second before he looked at the dead Flame Advanced Martial General at Su Zhan's feet.
"A member of the Meng Household."
The Sky City Governor recognized them at a glance and looked at Elder Feng and Su Zhan with suspicion.
These two... don't look like they're capable of killing Advanced Martial General!
Elder Feng knew.
The Lin Household's veteran Advanced Martial General possess exceptional strength.
But he also knew of the Flame Advanced Martial General, one of the pillars of the Meng Household... Theoretically, these two should be evenly matched, so how could this be...?
As for Su Zhan to the side...
He knew some of it too.
The genius invested in by the Lin Household has a somewhat strange Aptitude; he progresses very quickly and has the potential to become Martial Commander... but that's about it.
"Elder Feng!"
"Is it over?!"
"Your Excellency the Governor?!"
The Lin family generals who came to support Elder Feng arrived late.
"You escort Mr. Su back to the Lin Household. I'll go with the Governor," Elder Feng instructed.
He knew he had to give the governor an explanation; such a large-scale battle commotion couldn't be left unexplained.
"Yes, Elder Feng!"
The group accepted the order.
Su Zhan didn't say much. He knew that Elder Feng was covering for him... After all, everything that had just happened was too horrifying. Whether it was the Masked Monster's identity as the mastermind behind it, the Spirit Treasure he was holding, or even the fact that he could rival Advanced Martial General by Blood Combustion, it was enough to cause an unprecedented sensation!
Immediately, after nodding to Feng Lao, Su Zhan left under the protection of the Lin family's generals.
No sooner had they left than new Martial General arrived... all from the Heaven City Supervision Bureau.
"Your Excellency."
They bowed respectfully.
"Close off the road, clear the scene, and keep all information confidential."
"Yes!"
On the other side.
The Poison Dagger Advanced Martial General had been running for more than ten minutes.
Only after confirming that no one was following him and that there was no sign of anything nearby did he stop with lingering fear, and with slightly trembling hands, he took out a Communication Device from his Space Ring.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart.
"Master."
The call connected, and he said, "The assassination mission... failed."
On the other side.
It was deathly quiet.
