496: Northern Darkness Whale Devouring Sword! Killing a fourth-tier professional who is of a higher level!

Su Ling said solemnly, "Master! During this period, at least 100 teams from different races have been enslaved by the Deadly Poison ecosystem and turned into puppets!"

"These are all reconnaissance teams sent here specifically against us!"

"At the same time, the Night Elves seem to be gathering a Legion, and there are intense spatial fluctuations within the city!"

After she finished speaking.

Su Lie said to Su Ling, "Closely monitor the Night Elves, tally the foreign races entering the Silent Abyss, and especially pay attention to the movements of reconnaissance teams that are immune to Deadly Poison damage!"

"Oh, right!"

"Has the heavenly demon puppet's mission been completed?"

This mission concerns whether he can complete the Bloodline Formation mission as quickly as possible.

Su Ling nodded seriously, "Master! It has been completed! Do you want him to bring the undying core and his subordinates to the territory?"

"Not for now, wait for my command!"

Su Lie replied.

Buzz!

The next second.

He left the territory and arrived outside.

At this moment.

Qu Youyou was collecting Deadly Poison materials outside her small house.

She sensed the aura fluctuation in the air, looked up, and saw that Su Lie had actually appeared here.

Just as she was about to call out and greet him.

A sharp voice rang out: "Su Lie! Su Lie! You are absolutely too handsome! I want to have your babies! My idol!"

This person was none other than Luo Yao.

Luo Yao had just learned about the events that transpired during the Virtual Street Fighting Survival Competition from her friends.

She had also watched footage of Su Lie during the battle.

At this moment.

She had transformed into a fangirl, shouting excitedly.

This made Qu Youyou sigh. Feeling incredibly embarrassed, she quickly returned to the villa.

Su Lie looked down at Luo Yao and said softly, "Be careful!"

After speaking.

Su Lie flapped his wings and flew toward the magnificent aura at the edge of the sky.

About 1 second later.

In the air 300,000 kilometers away from the territory.

Su Lie vibrated the great desolation wings, hovering in the air using the Dragon Wing Talent.

The beam of light that had been rushing toward Su Lie's territory trembled slightly and stopped in the air about 50 meters away from Su Lie.

Two figures emerged from the light.

One of them was exceptionally burly, a large man standing about 2.5 meters tall.

There was also a young man wearing a classical Confucian robe. He had eyes like the sun, and his entire body radiated a golden light.

At this moment.

Su Lie felt a vast pressure emanating from this person.

This pressure gave him the feeling of Mount Tai pressing down on him.

The burly man angrily glared at Su Lie and shouted, "Su Lie, you brat! Quickly return my wife, Lihuo! Otherwise, I will destroy you and your territory today!"

"Are you Wu Xuanyang?"

Su Lie looked at the large man and asked with a smile.

Wu Xuanyang was stunned, then immediately suppressed the anger in his chest: "That's right! I know you possess an extremely powerful sealing technique! I specifically invited my Martial Uncle, Hermit Ku Teng, to come here!"

"That elder is a Fourth-Turn Professional, currently Level 205! Your sealing technique is trash in front of him!"

"I advise you to obediently comply!"

After he finished speaking.

Hermit Ku Teng stepped forward. He raised his head and said to Su Lie, "Su Lie! I won't make things difficult for you! Just release Lihuo, compensate us with 1,000 Level 12 Divine Grade Universal Energy Batteries, 100 Mist Points, plus all the Fighting ultimate Skills you used in the Virtual Street Fighting Survival Competition!"

"If you do this, I can spare your life!"

His tone and eyes were full of contempt, but his heart was filled with greed.

Clearly.

Su Lie's gains from the Virtual Street Fighting Survival Competition had already become known to them.

Su Lie asked with interest, "I have already awakened the Fighting Skill. How do I give it to you?"

"Haha! No matter! No matter! You just need to not resist and let my Martial Nephew use the deprivation divine talisman!"

Seeing Su Lie's relatively soft attitude, Hermit Ku Teng immediately stated a requirement.

Su Lie nodded: "I see! Then please have Wu Xuanyang come over!"

These words made Hermit Ku Teng's smile deepen.

Wu Xuanyang, who was preparing for a big fight, laughed. He looked at Su Lie and said, "You brat are sensible enough! I'll spare your life this time!"

Having said that.

He stepped through the air, walking toward Su Lie.

As Wu Xuanyang stepped forward, Su Lie suddenly crushed a sword talisman hidden in his palm.

Buzz!

A sword hum sounded in the air.

Hermit Ku Teng suddenly felt a death crisis descending, and was about to use his Talent to check the source of the danger.

But he saw.

A whale-shaped sword light, condensed from vast sword energy directly in front of him, flashed and disappeared.

Hermit Ku Teng's mind trembled, and a thought rang out in his consciousness: "Holy crap! North Deep Whale Devouring Sword!"

Poof!

The next second.

Hermit Ku Teng was struck in the chest by the sword.

His aura instantly plummeted.

After the Whale Devouring Sword entered his body, it rapidly devoured his power.

Hermit Ku Teng immediately cast healing type Skills on himself.

While suppressing the power of the Whale Devouring Sword, he shouted, "Wu Xuanyang, you idiot! What are you standing there for! Kill him! Kill him for me!"

He was terrified at this moment.

Fearing that Su Lie had other tricks up his sleeve.

The scene just now happened in a brief instant.

Before Wu Xuanyang could react, Hermit Ku Teng had already been struck by the sword.

By the time Wu Xuanyang moved upon hearing the shout, his killing intent boiling.

Su Lie had already used the Glorious Sealing Skill to seal Wu Xuanyang.

Buzz!

A gold and silver carving in the air was manipulated by Su Lie to return to his hand.

Su Lie did not approach Hermit Ku Teng, but instead cast the Divine Thief Talent toward him.

Buzz!

The next second, a talent awakening scroll was stolen into Su Lie's hands.

Hermit Ku Teng spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Su Lie in panic and shouted, "Little brother! Stop! I am..."

Before he could reveal his identity.

Su Lie used the Divine Thief Talent again.

Buzz!

Immediately afterward, another talent awakening scroll landed in his hand.

Hermit Ku Teng trembled violently after losing this Talent.

Boom!

He could no longer control the power of the Whale Devouring Sword, and actually exploded under the powerful sword energy.

The explosion of a Fourth-Turn Professional was like a mushroom cloud.

The violent power tore through the Deadly Poison ecosystem for tens of thousands of kilometers around.

The ground was turned upside down by this chaotic force.

At the same time.

Su Lie's experience increased by 2 points, and a god-tier basic resource treasure chest appeared in his inventory slot.

Su Lie, meanwhile, jumped into the dimensional rift. He looked at the storm before him and murmured, "I wonder if Hermit Ku Teng is actually dead? Why was he so weak?"

As he spoke.

He looked at the two Talent scrolls in his hand.

[Confucianism: Red God-tier Talent; A Survivor who awakens this Talent can learn Confucian-type Skills of any quality.

Note: If this Talent is lost, all Skills and Talents derived and awakened based on Confucianism will be grayed out and unusable.

Note: If this Talent cannot be re-awakened within a short period, the related Skills and Talents will gradually drop.]

... [Vast Righteousness Immortality: Red God-level Quality; Confucian Rule Talent;

As long as the Vast Righteousness Spirit you cultivate remains, you can be reborn from the Vast Righteousness Spirit after being killed.

Enhancement: The enhancement data of the Vast Righteousness Intent Talent is increased by 1,000 times.

Note: This Talent requires you to first awaken the Confucianism Talent before it can be awakened.

Note: This Talent requires the corresponding Vast Righteousness Intent Talent to imprint the Vast Righteousness Spirit required by the Talent onto books, stone tablets, and various forms of spiritual belief related to you. Only then, when you are killed, can you use this Talent to be reborn from the Vast Righteousness Spirit.

Note: When you are reborn through Vast Righteousness Immortality, you will be unable to recover all equipment and storage items dropped when your main body was killed.

Note: Vast Righteousness Immortality only grants you Undying characteristics when paired with the Confucianism and Vast Righteousness Intent Talents.

Note: If the Haoran Immortal Talent is dropped and lost, you will lose the possibility of rebirth.]

"...This guy was really unlucky! The first time I stole his foundation, and then I stole the basis for his Undying nature! This must be the real reason why Hermit Ku Teng was killed by the North Deep Whale Devouring Sword!"

After reading the two Talents, Su Lie's heart tightened: "Hermit Ku Teng lost control over his own power after losing the Confucianism Talent!"

Only then did he realize.

Just how important the Skill Protection Talent he purchased at the Guild was.

He also realized that Hermit Ku Teng's profession was not a Confucian-type profession.

Subsequently.

Su Lie waited for the energy fluctuations to subside, then walked out of the dimensional rift.

After some searching.

He found a dull grey ring on the ground, along with some shattered clothing and fragments of a storage pouch.

"What a pity!"

Su Lie sighed.

He instantly teleported back to the Great Joy Tower in his territory and looked at the ring in his hand.

[breathless ring: Red God-level Quality; Replenishment item.

Using it can replenish your lost Spirit value, keeping you in a state of full Spirit value at all times.

Capacity: 1,000 trillion points / 1,000 trillion points of Spirit value;

Auto-Recharge: Replenishes the breathless ring with 100 million points of Spirit value per second.

Note: This breathless ring can only replenish consumed Spirit value capacity through Auto-Recharge in the Mist Main World.

Note: Auto-Recharge stops when the breathless ring's capacity is full.]

"This is a great item!"

After seeing it, Su Lie directly equipped it in his Equipment Slot 2.

At this moment, the breathless ring received a 500,000 times data enhancement from the Equipment Slot Talent.

Furthermore, a new attribute appeared in the total data list of Equipment Slot 2.

[breathless ring: Capacity: 1,000 trillion points / 5 quintillion (500 million trillion) points of Spirit value; Auto-Recharge: Replenishes the breathless ring with 50 trillion points of Spirit value per second.]

"I have the Blood Tiger and Life Replenishment Talents for increasing health! And now I have the breathless ring for increasing Spirit value! For me, this is equivalent to gaining sustained combat capability!"

Su Lie muttered softly to himself.

He then immediately used the two Talent scrolls he had just acquired.

Although he did not have the Vast Righteousness Intent Talent to provide the rebirth carrier for the Haoran Immortal Talent.

But this did not prevent him from awakening these two Talents.

Immediately afterward.

Su Lie instructed Su Ling, "Have that Eerie wait for me in the sinkhole! I'm going over right away!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ling quickly controlled the heavenly demon puppet and relayed the command through the Eerie.

Su Lie did not leave the territory immediately.

He first went to the Treasure Refining room on the third floor.

He still had a top-tier abnormality bloodline that needed to be refined into an abnormality bloodline.

If he did this.

He could then use the Fire Rules and Faith Conversion Eerie Talents that came from Su Hua Hua.

Immediately.

Su Lie took out the Immeasurable Pharmacist Heavenly Venerate bloodline.

When he put the Heavenly Venerate bloodline into the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Furnace.

He then added 10,000 level 1 monster crystals.

Following this, Su Lie finally used the bloodline expansion potion blueprint.

[Buzz!]

[Do you wish to consume 10 years of Lifespan to refine the bloodline expansion potion?]

"Yes!"

Su Lie replied without hesitation.

[Buzz!]

The next second, a brilliant light bloomed from the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Furnace.

Before long.

A long stream of bloodline expansion potion flew into Su Lie's inventory slot... Meanwhile.

In the Confucian Hall Library of the Mist Survivors Guild, a scroll suddenly opened without wind.

Whoosh!

The hall guardian quickly rushed to the scroll.

When he got closer and looked.

He saw that the wind had stopped.

The scrolling book stopped on one of its pages.

The end of the page read: "Hermit Ku Teng, invited by his Martial Nephew Wu Xuanyang, traveled to Silent Abyss No. 199 territory to rescue his wife, Lihuo. Due to coveting the prize money Su Lie obtained in the Virtual Street Fighting Competition and the Level 12 Divine Grade treasure Su Lie possessed, he was killed by Su Lie using the North Deep Whale Devouring Sword that Su Lie had acquired from Lihuo!"

The hall guardian's expression changed drastically upon reading this, and he rushed to the Main Hall Study to find the Hall Master and narrate the incident in detail.

The Hall Master's expression changed abruptly upon hearing this, and he quickly got up and headed to the Punishment Hall.

Since Qing Feng was appointed Guild Leader, she had not used the Guild Leader Hall as her main place for handling affairs, choosing instead to remain in the Punishment Hall.

Currently.

Qing Feng had just finished formulating a series of trial and cultivation plans targeting newly promoted Survivors.

Master Li, the Hall Master of the Confucian Hall, suddenly walked in. He tossed the life scroll belonging to Hermit Ku Teng onto the table in front of Qing Feng: "I implore the Guild Leader to preside over justice for my Confucian Hall!"

"Hmm?"

Qing Feng was startled. She lowered her head and carefully read Hermit Ku Teng's death record.

She couldn't help but laugh: "What does this have to do with me! He was simply inferior in Skill; being killed by Su Lie using the North Deep Whale Devouring Sword Talisman just proves Hermit Ku Teng was nothing more than an incompetent person!"

"Furthermore, it is clearly written here that he was the one who acted out of greed; if not for that, how could such a killing calamity have occurred!"

Qing Feng said uncaringly.

Master Li said solemnly, "You must understand that every Fourth-Turn Professional is no longer a combat force that can be discarded at will! Moreover, Hermit Ku Teng mastered nearly a hundred Confucian control Skills, making him one of the core members of the team!"

"And he was a Survivor who possessed Undying power!"

"I suspect Su Lie colluded with foreign races and stripped Hermit Ku Teng of his Talent, leading to Hermit Ku Teng's death. He is intentionally using your authority to eliminate our Guild's combat power!"

"This old man earnestly requests the Guild Leader to arrange for my Confucian Hall to dispatch investigators to look into Su Lie's despicable conduct!"
