830: Gains

He would die!

Facing the Xuanqing Snake King, who was practically within reach, Zoltan didn't dare to even think about capturing it. The moment the thought arose, a strong sense of impending death enveloped his entire body.

In the face of the Human Race Strong who stood in the sky and displayed his power, Zoltan felt that he probably wouldn't last more than ten moves.

And this was just one; there was another Human Race Strong hidden in the Demon Beast Forest.

If they were to act, they would likely be annihilated. Even if City Lord Guger made a move, he wouldn't be able to protect them!

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"I just wanted to retrieve my prey, why is it so difficult?"

Zoltan roared internally, the accumulated killing intent in his heart almost bursting his body. Yet, he dared not reveal the slightest bit, fearing it would attract the attention of the figure in the sky.

"Let's retreat!"

"Acting now would be of no benefit to us."

Just then, an aged voice suddenly sounded in Zoltan's ear.

He recognized it as City Lord Guger's voice.

"City Lord, are we just giving up like this?"

Zoltan felt unwilling and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a subtle ripple suddenly appeared beside him, and then Gugor's figure materialized.

"If you want to die, I won't stop you, but the other lads of my Blade City will not make such a meaningless sacrifice."

Gugor showed no sign of age at this moment, his cold, emotionless eyes fixed on Zoltan.

In his perception, there was not only the Human Race Strong in the sky but also a strong person of his own Rank hidden among the ordinary Human Race cultivators.

For Gugor, he was happy to see more flesh and blood offerings without having to act, but fighting a strong person of the same Rank was absolutely impossible.

His body was already decaying to its limit, relying on yearly flesh and blood sacrifices to extend his life. Fighting a strong person of the same Rank would consume his Origin, making his already decaying body even worse.

"City Lord, I..."

Zoltan opened his mouth, intending to say something, but under that ruthless gaze, he ultimately closed his mouth tightly.

"Retreat!"

"If not for a wisp of my Divine Soul following you today, you wouldn't even have the chance to retreat."

Gugor instructed, then glanced at the sky behind him with a complex expression.

"What?"

Doreina and Zoltan, who were beside him, trembled upon hearing this, instinctively looking up at the sky at the same time.

Their hiding place had been discovered long ago?

Doreina and Zoltan wanted to say that Gugor was exaggerating, they wanted to refute, but what met their eyes was the young figure in the distance, whose expression was a half-smile.

Seeing this, Doreina and Zoltan panicked, quickly lowered their heads, and motioned for their subordinates to follow Gugor in retreat.

At this moment, they felt only relief, no longer any hesitation.

...

...

"What a pity!"

"Such a large package of experience, I can only look at it but not eat it."

Wang Chen stood in mid-air, looking regretfully at the shadow below in the forest, which receded like a tide.

During the battle with the Jiaolong Divine Soul just now, he sensed the Qi inadvertently emitted by these undead.

He had intended to collect these experience packages after dealing with the Jiaolong Divine Soul.

But...

A powerful fellow suddenly emerged from among these undead, and even with Wang Chen's current strength, he still felt a threat.

"Among Blade City's undead, the three Great Commanders are all Nine Revolution Early Stage, their strength similar to Li Qingcang, who had just Body Integration with the Dragon Slaying Sword and whose body was occupied by the Jiaolong Divine Soul. Even if all three undead Great Commanders were present, they wouldn't make me feel such a strong threat."

"It seems the one who came was Blade City's City Lord, that Nine Revolution Middle Stage undead."

Muttering to himself, Wang Chen retracted his gaze after the black tide disappeared without a trace.

After this battle, he had a clear understanding of his own strength.

Without using Combination Skill, he was equivalent to a Nine Revolution Early Stage True Monarch in the Netherworld, which is a Rank 254-255 Awakener on Blue Star.

And by activating Combination Skill and borrowing the power of the five little ones, his strength would increase to the level of a Nine Revolution Middle Stage True Monarch in the Netherworld, equivalent to a Rank 261-262 Awakener on Blue Star.

"That undead could give me such a strong sense of threat; its strength has probably reached the Peak of Nine Revolution Middle Stage in the Netherworld, equivalent to a Rank 269 Awakener on Blue Star."

"Moreover, with such a big commotion now, the other party will definitely be vigilant, and Blade City's defenses will certainly be even tighter."

"The plan to raid Blade City will have to be postponed for a while."

"Next, I will first wipe out all undead gathering places in the Demon Beast Forest outside of Blade City, and complete Seven-Turn as soon as possible."

While planning his next steps, Wang Chen checked his spoils of war.

Li Qingcang and that Jiaolong Divine Soul had both turned to ash in the collision just now. The only thing left was the Dragon Slaying Sword, which had lost much of its spirituality.

"I wonder how much power this longsword still retains?"

Taking the Dragon Slaying Sword into his hand, Wang Chen then took out an appraisal scroll and tore it open.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Invisible power enveloped the Dragon Slaying Sword, activating a faint spiritual glow.

But this spiritual glow was already incredibly dim, unable to resist the power of the appraisal scroll at all.

The next second, an attribute panel appeared before Wang Chen's eyes.

【Equipment: Dragon Slaying Sword.】

【Type: Weapon.】

【Grade: Blazing Sun Rank.】

【Rank Restriction: None (Spirituality Damaged).】

【Attributes: Strength +1000, Physique +1000, Speed +1000, Intelligence +1000.】

【Enchantment Effects: 1. Increases attack damage by 50%. 2. Comes with armor-piercing effect. Damage dealt by Dragon Slaying Sword ignores 50% of target's defense. 3. Jiaolong Power: After attacking with Dragon Slaying Sword, targets with lower Strength than the wielder will be knocked back and enter a two-second stun. 4. Soul Fusion: Dragon Slaying Sword can fuse powerful creature Souls within it to gain even greater amplification. Current fused Soul: None.

(Note: 1. The sword spirit within Dragon Slaying Sword has been annihilated. It currently cannot receive enchantment bonuses. Re-fusing a sword spirit will unseal it and grant even more powerful effects.)】

...

"This sword was so powerful before, it turns out it was all thanks to that Jiaolong Divine Soul."

After checking the Dragon Slaying Sword's attributes, Wang Chen felt a bit speechless.

It seemed he had used too much force earlier, directly destroying the biggest gain from this battle.

However, Wang Chen wasn't disappointed by this.

In his opinion, compared to that Jiaolong Divine Soul, the sword itself was more valuable, equivalent to a Blazing Sun Rank equipment with growth potential.

It didn't matter if it was weak now; as long as a powerful sword spirit was fused, it would become even stronger than before.
