The person they called the “Great Grandmaster” of the Twelve Great Thieves had not yet appeared, and Wang Sheng did not have time to look for him.
The “Sword Transformation Technique” was a very important secret technique, which he had planned to study in seclusion, but then he encountered these issues.
Fortunately, there was only one Great Grandmaster, so resolving the issue would not be too troublesome. Even if he did not go himself, he could easily kill with flying swords.
He had been cultivating the flying sword for a long time, and it had developed some intelligence.
This intelligence was far from wisdom, but it was sufficient for some simple tasks. With someone using it, killing a Great Grandmaster would be easy, and it would pose no problem for even the top Grandmasters.
Moreover, he now had two flying swords, one for researching the Sword Transformation Technique, and the other to be used to kill the Great Grandmaster—nothing could be more suitable.
“Yun Sheng, this sword…”
Although Li Yongfeng did not follow Wang Sheng to the Imperial City, he had made considerable progress in Qingshan Village, and was soon to become a Sixth Grade Martial Artist. Having led teams to interact with the Three Great Families several times, he had broadened his experience.
Yet he had never seen a sword like this one; it was beyond his imagination.
“When the enemy appears, just hold the flying sword and think about who you want it to attack. A Great Grandmaster is nothing to fear!”
Wang Sheng was very familiar with his own strength.
Eventually, Li Yongfeng took the flying sword and left. It must be said, he had great trust in Wang Sheng and did not at all doubt the authenticity of the flying sword.
Before leaving, Wang Sheng thought about it and gave him an “enhancement talisman” for safety.
The Zhao Family Master was waiting at the usual place of martial contest. Although he appeared calm, he was very anxious at heart. After all, ninety percent of his clansmen were within Dishui County.
If that person did not come, it was likely that those clanspeople would not be rescued.
As a Grandmaster, he had a clearer understanding than others. Two Overlord Level powers, with a top Great Grandmaster in seclusion, meant that nobody else made any move clearly.
If that person did not take action, unless a second Great Grandmaster could be found, there would be no rescue.
Time slowly passed, and the Zhao Family Master’s worry grew by the second.
But before long, he felt someone approaching.
He tensed up, about to know the outcome soon.
Soon he saw Li Yongfeng.
Still alone, the Zhao Family Master was not especially surprised; even if intervention was planned, he expected it would be four days later. What mattered was the result.
“Li, young brother, what’s the outcome?” His face showed expectancy.
Seeing this expression, Li Yongfeng realized just how important this matter was to the Zhao Family Master.
However—
“He decided to take action!”
Li Yongfeng knew Wang Sheng had not revealed his identity, so usually, he referred to himself as “he” when speaking to outsiders.
“Really?” The Zhao Family Master was delighted. If that person took action, he believed the problem could be readily solved. Quickly realizing his words might be inappropriate, he added, “It’s not that I don’t trust that person, just a bit too excited!”
Even as a Grandmaster Level powerhouse, he felt powerless in many situations.
Knowing there was a chance to solve the problem, even at nearly a hundred years old, he could not hide his excitement.
“It is true, but there is one issue!” Li Yongfeng knew the Zhao Family Master was in agony, so he did not say much, but some things still needed to be made clear, “Although he agreed to take action, he can’t do it personally because of some issues!”
“He cannot take action personally?” The Zhao Family Master was confused, wondering how they could stop that Great Grandmaster from the Twelve Great Thieves if not in person, “Does that person have any powerful followers?”
Li Yongfeng shook his head and replied, “No followers, but there are ways, just take me to Dishui County and the problem can be solved.”
“Li, are you going?”
“Yes, he gave me this, it can kill a Great Grandmaster!”
Li Yongfeng, not thinking of hiding it, directly showed the flying sword.
The Zhao Family Master was even more bewildered.
Not even a person?
Reading the distrust in the Zhao Family Master’s eyes, Li Yongfeng said nothing; had it not been for Yun Sheng’s gift, he would not have believed it either.
“Don’t worry, his items, none of them are simple.”
He thought of Wang Sheng’s words, holding the flying sword, and inwardly threatening the Zhao Family Master.
The previously calm flying sword suddenly showed a hint of momentum, directed specifically against the Zhao Family Master.
“Boom!”
The Zhao Family Master only felt his mind was overwhelmed by chaos, as if targeted by some ferocious beast from the floods, seemingly about to die the next moment, with his pupils somewhat dilated.
Seeing this scene, Li Yongfeng quickly subdued the flying sword.
“Huff huff~”
After it subsided, the Zhao Family Master seemed to come back to his senses, gasping heavily.
That horrifying feeling was something he never wanted to experience again in his life.
It was not the oppression of a murderous aura, but purely the feeling of being enveloped by death, which was more terrifying, indicating certain death.
“How about that?” Li Yongfeng asked.
The Zhao Family Master nodded, mixed emotions showing.
Hearing Li Yongfeng’s phrase, he now knew where that feeling came from.
Previously doubtful, but after experiencing what just happened, he realized he had vastly underestimated that great person.
Just revealing a sword could render him, a Grandmaster, so helpless.
How strong was that great person exactly?
“Well, please prepare, and let’s go directly to Dishui County to see if that Great Grandmaster will show up.”
The people of Dishui County naturally could not come out, but whether people from outside could enter Dishui County was still unknown, as facing an obvious threat from a Great Grandmaster, no one would attempt it.
