28: Sorting out the harvest

This was the fastest method Xiao Shi could think of to kill the opponent.

Earlier, during the recovery process with the Restoration Pill, he had already secretly condensed a mark on his black gold sword.

However, it wasn't a mark condensed with his own vital energy.

Instead, he had condensed all of his remaining Corrosion Blood onto the black gold sword, forming a mark.

This way,

with the detonation of the mark,

every fragment would be tainted with the poison of Corrosion Blood.

Unless Mu Zhang could dodge all the flying fragments, if even one fragment pierced his body and touched his blood, he would be corroded.

Although this would render the black gold sword useless... it was the only way to quickly kill the opponent.

From the beginning of his fight with this person, Xiao Shi realized that this battle had to be quick and decisive; he couldn't afford to drag it out.

If another Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level appeared... he wouldn't possibly have the ability to kill him.

"I must leave immediately!"

Xiao Shi dared not linger here for too long.

He quickly picked up the items that had dropped after the opponent's death; although he was very curious about the items dropped by a deceased Ninth Level Entrance to Martial Realm Warrior, he knew now was not the time to check them.

He directly threw the items into his storage bag, carried the unconscious woman on the ground, and, using the Arc Flash movement technique, left the area at the fastest possible speed.

During his journey, Xiao Shi dared not let his speed decrease in the slightest.

Because he didn't know if the other powerhouses of Liuyue Mountain would choose to pursue him after learning of Mu Zhang's death.

After all, there was a certain distance from Liuyue Mountain to Jin Yun City.

If he was too slow and was caught, that would be bad.

Xiao Shi ran wildly all the way.

He constantly paid attention to any disturbance behind him, his nerves taut, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

He ran from deep night until early morning.

As the sky brightened, he finally returned to Jin Yun City without any major incident.

"I'm safe."

It wasn't until this moment

that Xiao Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once he returned to Jin Yun City, he no longer needed to have any worries or concerns.

Even the Qi Martial Realm powerhouses of Liuyue Mountain would not dare to brazenly come to Jin Yun City to kill.

Xiao Shi carried the unconscious woman back to the Night Watch Division, handed her over, and at the same time, made a brief report on this mission.

In his report, he naturally concealed the fact that he had killed a Ninth Level Entrance to Martial Realm powerhouse.

And the Night Watch Division would not inquire too much into the details.

They only needed to understand the general situation.

Xiao Shi also didn't need to worry about revealing anything.

Next was to wait for the Night Watch Division to verify the information and then make the final settlement for the mission.

"It's finally done."

After returning to his room, Xiao Shi collapsed onto his bed.

Recalling his experiences during this mission, he couldn't help but marvel at its danger and difficulty.

Although the difficulty was rated as Level Two, given the circumstances of the mission, it had definitely reached the standard of Level One difficulty.

After all, even a Ninth Level Entering Martial Realm had been dispatched in the end!

Such a mission... let alone newly joined Night Watch, even among those Night Watch with certain aptitude, not many could complete this kind of mission!

"It's a good thing I had accumulated a lot of items on me, otherwise, I would have definitely failed this time."

Xiao Shi felt very emotional about this.

Through his confrontation with the Ninth Level Entrance to Martial Realm Warrior, he truly witnessed the terrifying power of a Ninth Level Entrance to Martial Realm Warrior.

In other levels of the Entering Martial Realm, it might still be possible to kill opponents of a higher rank.

But to kill a Ninth Level Entering Martial Realm by overstepping ranks... it was almost an impossible feat!

The reason Xiao Shi was able to kill the opponent this time was not due to his personal strength, but rather the items he had obtained from previous kills.

These items themselves were not ordinary things.

Especially the Corrosion Blood, its lethality was extremely astonishing, and its restrictive effect was quite obvious.

However, in this battle, the entire bottle of Corrosion Blood was consumed, and he also used his only Peerless Restoration Pill and rendered his Entering Martial Rank black gold sword useless.

Fortunately, the gains from this time were also very substantial.

First, there were the items dropped after the death of the Ninth Level Entrance to Martial Realm Warrior.

Although Xiao Shi had not yet checked them.

But he knew that the stronger the Martial Warrior of the Entrance to Martial Realm, the more likely they were to drop high-quality items after death.

He believed that the items dropped after the death of the Ninth Level Entrance to Martial Realm Warrior would undoubtedly be of considerable value.

In addition,

his storage bag also contained items he hadn't had time to check when he killed the Black-Clothed Old Man, as well as items dropped after the deaths of the bandits who tried to stop him on his way down the mountain and were consequently run over by him.

Xiao Shi roughly calculated.

There were a total of six unchecked items.

This made him quickly sit up from the bed in anticipation, intending to thoroughly examine the gains from this venture.

Through his battle with that Ninth Level Entrance to Martial Realm powerhouse, he truly experienced the power and benefits of these items, and his heart was filled with even greater anticipation and desire.

"Let's see what kind of items there are!"

Xiao Shi took out these items from his storage bag that he hadn't had time to check, one by one.

The first item he took out was a long, cylindrical bottle.

Xiao Shi remembered that this was an item that had dropped after he killed that Black-Clothed Old Man, but at the time, in order to test whether Kuangfeng Stronghold Lord could see it, he hadn't checked this item.

Now, under his careful inspection,

information about the item immediately appeared in his vision.

["Name: Heavenly Water of Crossing Life"]

["Type: Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure"]

["Grade: Entering Martial Rank"]

["Description: Water from the Heavenly Mountain of Crossing Life, intensely cold and bone-chilling."]

["Remarks: Don't use it without a sufficiently strong physique, or you'll be frozen into an ice sculpture."]

...Xiao Shi's eyes lit up.

Another Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure had finally dropped.

This way, he could continue to refine his body with Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures!

In this battle against the Ninth Level Entrance to Martial Realm powerhouse, Xiao Shi also felt the benefits brought by body tempering.

If it weren't for his powerful physique after body tempering, even with these items, he wouldn't have been able to kill that Ninth Level Entrance to Martial Realm powerhouse.

He wouldn't have been able to withstand even a few of the opponent's attacks.

Nor would he have had the opportunity to splash Corrosion Blood on the opponent.

Xiao Shi was very much looking forward to what kind of improvement he would gain after his next body tempering session.

In his excitement, Xiao Shi took out the second item.

This was a black stone, over a meter long.

It possessed an incredibly astonishing weight.

["Name: black ink stone"]

["Type: Material"]

["Grade: Entering Martial Rank"]

["Description: A type of ink stone with astonishing weight, usually primarily used in weapon forging."]

["Remarks: It's really, really heavy!"]

...Xiao Shi's eyes lit up.

Although he didn't understand forging, this black ink stone had a different use in his hands.

For example, by condensing this black ink stone into a mark and applying it to a weapon.

This way, the weapon would gain the astonishing weight provided by the black ink stone!

If a special situation arose and it needed to be detonated, each fragment after detonation would also contain terrifying weight, enhancing its lethality!

Xiao Shi continued to take out the third item.

["Name: soaring sword grass"]

["Type: Material"]

["Grade: Entering Martial Rank"]

["Description: A rare spiritual grass, sword-shaped, extremely sharp, can be used for forging."]

["Remarks: If it weren't too soft, it could really be used as a sword."]

...Xiao Shi looked at this sword-shaped grass; the entire soaring sword grass was about a meter long, with sharp edges.

Xiao Shi tried to swipe it across the ground.

The hard floor tiles were easily cut open like tofu.

Its sharpness was even stronger than his previous black gold sword!

"If I condense it into a mark, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance sharpness!"

Xiao Shi thought to himself as he took out the fourth item.

["Name: Enemy Detection Talisman"]

["Type: Talisman"]

["Grade: Entering Martial Rank"]

["Description: Can detect hostility."]

["Remark 1: Stick it on your body, and you can detect all hostility within three hundred meters around you."]

["Remark 2: When you can't see through people's hearts, perhaps you can use it to clearly see who the enemy truly is."]

...Xiao Shi looked at the fifth item.

["Name: Ji Wu Pill (Rare)"]

["Type: Elixir"]

["Grade: Entering Martial Rank"]

["Description: An elixir that can enhance one's comprehension."]

["Remarks: Comprehension is also an important indicator of a genius."]

..."It's a pity it's only of rare quality."

Xiao Shi sighed inwardly.

The Ji Wu Pill that dropped this time only reached rare quality and did not achieve the highest peerless quality.

Xiao Shi knew that this was mainly because the one who dropped the Ji Wu Pill was just an ordinary bandit, and his strength was not high.

Only the stronger the individual, the better the quality of the items dropped.

Thinking of this,

Xiao Shi looked at the last item.

It was also the item he most anticipated.

This was an item dropped after the death of a Ninth Level Entrance to Martial Realm Warrior!
