“Sp-spare me!”
Under the terrifying threat of death, he begged for mercy.
Han Zhao pulled his hands out of the red-robed man’s chest, but the Three Essence Force was still destroying his body. Unless the other party was stronger than him and destroyed the balance of the Three Essence Force in one go, this Internal Force would circulate in his body for a short period of time. “I’ll give you a chance to live. Tell me who you are. Why are you following me?”
Han Zhao circulated his Life Nurturing True Qi and tightly grabbed the red-robed man’s neck, lifting him up.
“I… I’m an anomalous servant of the Lin family. I’m under the orders of the Sixth Young Master to monitor the Xu family and wait for an opportunity to find the missing Red Dragon Halberd divine weapon fragment.”
The red-robed man hurriedly explained everything. Under the terrifying scorching airflow, he felt that his body was faintly showing signs of dissipating.
“Anomalous servant?” Han Zhao raised his eyebrows. “What secret technique was that illusionary transformation ability of yours?!”
“That’s not a secret technique, but… it’s an ability that comes with the anomalous creature.”
“I see.” Han Zhao revealed a disappointed expression. If it was not a secret technique, it meant that he could not cultivate it.
“What about the others who came with you to monitor the Xu family?”
“No, I’m the only one. After the Lin family was destroyed, most of the anomalous servants were left behind by them to cover the retreat. All of them died.”
“Have you sent the news here to that Sixth Young Master?”
“No, I haven’t obtained any accurate information. If I rashly send a message, I’ll be punished by the Sixth Young Master.”
“Don’t all large families know how to nurture sacrificial soldiers? Why are you so afraid of death? Don’t you have any backbone? You sold your master just like that?” Han Zhao clenched his left hand and prepared to kill him.
“We… we have no choice. We were all forcefully turned into half-human, half-devil monsters by the divine weapon. The largest Red Dragon Halberd fragment of the Lin family is in your hands. You can also be considered my master.”
The red-robed man sensed Han Zhao’s killing intent and hurriedly explained. “Is that so?” Han Zhao released his left hand and slapped the red-robed man’s head.
“Ah!” The red-robed man cried out in surprise, but he realized that he was not dead. The scorching airflow gradually cooled down and entered his mind, then flowed throughout his body.
“Phew-” The red-robed man heaved a sigh of relief. The airflow in his body suddenly heated up, and he fell to the ground in pain.
In the next second, the airflow returned to normal.
“Yes, no problem.” Han Zhao nodded.
This Pure Yang Life Nurturing True Qi was indeed heaven’s nemesis of these anomalous creatures. He could control his true qi to kill the red-robed man in front of him at any time.
“Thank you, Master.” The red-robed man knelt down and submitted.
Han Zhao took out the Red Dragon Halberd from the Sumeru Pouch hanging on his neck and felt the connection with the red-robed man in front of him.
With the double insurance, he could temporarily spare his life and get more information about the aristocratic family from him. “A wise man submits to circumstances. I like smart people.”
Han Zhao patted his shoulder.
“By the way, what’s your name?”
“I don’t have a name. My code name is Blood Robe No. 9,” the red-robed man replied.
“Alright, I’ll call you No. 9. Stay by my side during this period of time. As long as you help me with a small favor when necessary, I’ll spare your life.” Han Zhao smiled. He didn’t need No. 9 to be truly loyal to him. As long as the other party submitted to violence and was afraid of death, it was enough.
“Yes! Master!” No. 9 said respectfully.
He had already roughly guessed what this new master wanted to do, but so what? In any case, his life was in the hands of the divine weapon. He would listen to whoever was stronger.
Since Lin Xie and the Sixth Young Master were weak, they deserved to die. It had nothing to do with whether he betrayed them or not.
“Let’s go.”
Han Zhao waved at No. 9.
No. 9 bowed respectfully, and her body turned from solid to illusory before completely disappearing.
Han Zhao thought to himself, ‘This anomalous creature’s ability is really strange. Unfortunately, I can’t use it. Otherwise, who can defend against a close-range sneak attack from the Three Essence Force?’
Two months later.
Han Zhao sat cross-legged on the bed.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Muffled sounds came from his body.
Martial Arts: Mountain Splitting Saber Technique (Fourth Level Entry Level 1%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Explosive Level 8, Mountain Splitting Force Level 6, Life Extension 20 years)
“The Mountain Splitting Saber Technique’s Internal Force cultivation is much faster than I expected.”
Looking at the progress of the martial arts column, Han Zhao thought to himself.
For the past month, he had basically spent all his time cultivating.
Through his hard work, Xu Ling finally broke through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough stage. A twenty-three-year-old third Blood Qi Breakthrough could be considered a genius even in the prefecture capital.
Unfortunately, other than the first time, the effect was much worse when they cultivated together later.
Of course, he used his own cultivation progress as a reference.
“Clang!”
Han Zhao walked to the courtyard and took out the Severing Karma Saber, preparing to test the power of the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique.
Just as he was about to swing his saber at the tree in the courtyard, he suddenly stopped.
He recalled that Yu Niang quite liked to turn into a bird and stand on the top of the tree. If he cut down the tree, even if she didn’t say anything, she would definitely be unhappy.
“Forget it, I won’t try anymore.” He sheathed his saber.
Rustle…
A breeze blew past, and the leaves rubbed against each other with a faint sound. Leaves fell with the wind.
When Han Zhao returned to his room, it was almost time.
“System.”
[Collected 85 Notification Fragments. Do you want to synthesize the Trait? Each…]
“Synthesize. Beginning simulation.”
[21 years old. Through cultivating with Xu Ling, you successfully grasped
Internal Force.]
