72: The fall of the Clover Group branch
Tang Gao held the secret book and his phone, played with them for a while, felt bored, and threw them into his spatial backpack.
It had to be said, the Cultivation Technique optimized and customized by the System was still better to use, it was the most effective Cultivation Technique for the current stage.
This was an advantage that these unoptimized Cultivation Techniques could not compare to.
A Cultivation Technique that could perfectly unleash one's strength was a very rare thing.
Zhao Shan and Xu An's expressions grew increasingly grim, seeing Tang Gao's unsatisfied look, they knew their gifts weren't enough to please the big shot.
Zhao Shan's face hardened, preparing to counterattack and give the other party a fierce blow; his many years of Cultivation were not for nothing!
Tang Gao looked over, observing him with a half-smile, the Evil Qi refined within his body slowly emerged, transforming into a terrifying, pitch-black Devil Head that gazed at him with bloodlust, and terrifying Killing Intent filled every inch of the office.
Zhao Shan's legs went soft, and he continued to kneel on the floor, his face pale.
A Devil Head who killed without batting an eye, and the kind that slaughtered Cultivators at that.
Xu An didn't hesitate, decisively striking his chest with a palm to sever his heart meridian, dying on the spot, using a Soul Escape Spell to seek a chance for Reincarnation.
In front of such a Devil Head, dying even a little late was a mistake.
“Soul Extraction.”
Xu An's Soul transformed into a pellet, which was absorbed into Tang Gao's palm.
Tang Gao swallowed it and refined it within his body, then looked at Zhao Shan and smiled faintly: “Do you have any last words?”
Zhao Shan's face was pale and trembling: “I really have use, Immortal Master, you can use me to threaten my parents…”
Tang Gao laughed heartily: “You are truly filial. Alright, I've heard your last words.”
Letting Zhao Shan go was impossible.
The Evil Qi erupted, and the terrifying, pitch-black Devil Head instantly opened its gaping maw, swallowing him whole to refine him.
Tang Gao raised an eyebrow, lowered his guard slightly, and scanned the scene, confirming there were no omissions.
A two-star difficulty mission wasn't very hard after all.
If he had worked so hard for so long and couldn't even defeat these three novices, then all his efforts would truly have been in vain.
【Main mission completed, Three-Leaf Clover Group Liang City Branch has been dismantled】
【Shadow System has evolved into Shadow King System】
【Innate Spell Devour has evolved】
【Devour: Devouring life forms will yield greater benefits, and can be refined into Shadow-Type Life forms】
【Territory Talent has been activated】
【Shadow World: The more territory occupied, the greater the amplification, and the more skills unlocked】
【Class Talent has been activated】
【Shadow King: Darkness is your loyal guard, shadows are your devout servants】
Four lines of unadorned rewards.
The first reward was the evolution of the Shadow System into the Shadow King System, successfully advancing further in the attribute sequence, gaining stronger attribute combat power and amplification.
High-tier attributes facing low-tier attributes were simply like a father beating his son, nothing more to say.
The second reward was a fundamental improvement to the original innate Spell, not only allowing for more rewards but also enabling the refinement of life forms into Shadow-Type Life forms.
The skills of the Shadow King System and Black Soul Dominator, when combined, could achieve an effect greater than one plus one.
The Black Soul Dominator collects Souls and has greater dominion over them, while the Shadow King can refine Shadow-Type Life, which is simply a perfect match.
No wonder the System recommended this super class to me.
One focuses on Souls, the other on life, perfect!
The Territory Talent, Shadow World, was also extremely powerful; as long as enough combat power was refined to occupy more territory, it could provide a continuous stream of amplification and various exclusive skills.
The Class Talent, Shadow King, had very few words in its description, but its content was very powerful.
Tang Gao waved his hand, and the shadows in the room began to twist and grow.
Tang Gao pressed his palm down, and the shadows in the room returned to normal.
Tang Gao gasped: “Domain Talent!”
Holy cow!
Domain Talent, this was a powerful ability only available at the Golden Core Stage, transforming the surroundings into one's exclusive Domain to enhance combat power.
Wasn't it too abnormal for him to possess this ability at only the second stage!
Even if this talent wasn't actively used, it could passively amplify the user's combat power with terrifying effects.
For example, in places where Spiritual Qi was cut off, the Shadow King could still provide a continuous supply of mana and recovery.
Tang Gao clicked his tongue, chose to restart the mission, and planned to test it on these three individuals.
Tang Gao messed around for a bit, finally restarting and getting a perfect evaluation, then directly chose to end the mission and return home.
It had to be said, this time's harvest was very abundant.
If he were to lie low and develop for a period, he might be able to cultivate a Black Shadow Legion, and then he wouldn't even flinch when facing fourth-stage Cultivators.
If he encountered a fifth-stage Cultivator, and found a way to trap them, he could also wear them down to death.
...
Guardian Bureau, Highest Command Room.
General Liu put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh: “Comfortable. The Three-Leaf Clover Group is gone?”
Liu ShouShan looked at General Liu in a daze: “Senior Brother, how did you know?”
Liu ShouShan still didn't understand why that powerful being would act early on a Saturday.
General Liu looked at his Junior Brother, whose intelligence was a bit lower than his own, and chuckled: “It’s ineffable; the Dao is not passed to six ears.”
That kid Tang Gao was truly reliable in his work, even if he didn't know who the powerful being behind him was.
But just based on his methods and efficiency, there was nothing to say.
He had only just arrived home, hadn't he? And those three fellows were already dead.
Liu ShouShan frowned, a worried expression on his face: “Driving the Three-Leaf Clover Group out is indeed beneficial for Liang City, but... what if those three families make trouble for us?”
General Liu smiled and said: “Send the roughly recorded files to those three families. I believe they will understand. Oh, and make sure to mark the time.”
This rough file only recorded some key information about the case, making no mention of the Violent Justice envoy or the mysterious powerful being.
Zhao Cheng, including the recording time, was five minutes and thirty seconds; without it, he was instantly killed in less than three seconds.
The Blood Rage Servant escort team was instantly killed in the street in three seconds.
The Red Hand Organization's assassin died within three minutes. Five minutes later, President Wei died in the heavily guarded Three-Leaf Clover Group Branch President's office.
At the pharmaceutical factory, from entering to destroying the Magic Mechanical Puppet underground, it took less than ten minutes, without any waste, with clear thinking throughout, and ruthless, precise combat methods.
At the medicinal material reserve base, Leng Yue had his Cultivation and Aptitude crippled within two minutes, and the entire base's defensive forces were annihilated by Li Yuan in half an hour.
And just now, the expert team was wiped out, with three people killed in less than ten seconds.
Not just anyone could easily do these things.
Without the support of a powerful being, these things would not have materialized.
With this information laid out before those three families, they would surely know, if they had any brains at all, that the waters here were very deep and not to be easily ventured into.
Threaten Liang City?
Heh heh.
What they should be thinking about is whether they had offended any powerful being recently to be retaliated against like this.
Of course.
The kind-hearted General Liu would never tell them.
The beginning of all this.
It was merely that their escorts had embezzled public funds from a transportation project.
“Tsk, a group branch annihilated because of a horseshoe nail.”
