Chapter 509: Chapter 362: What Did You Shoot Inside Me?
Bang!
The gaunt old man’s head fell to the ground and rolled several meters away like a leather ball before stopping.
As a mage, his spiritual power was already extraordinary. Coupled with practicing to the level of a “Saint Mage,” his mental strength was extremely formidable. Although his skull had been severed, and his body rapidly lost vitality, his spiritual power still persisted.
His head, which had fallen to the ground with its cheek against the floor, still shouted, “Master Xu, you are the leader of Da Xia’s martial arts world, representing the entire martial arts community. Do you want to start a war between Da Xia’s martial arts and the Western Sorcerer Association?”
Xu Yang flicked his finger, and the sword light flashed again.
Charlie’s head was split in half.
The raging Great River sword essence rampaged and instantly destroyed Charlie’s soul.
Xu Yang appeared in a flash in front of Wan Qian and embraced her, softly asking, “Wife, are you alright?”
What could happen to me?
I didn’t even die, dammit… So annoying!
Although she wildly complained in her heart, Wan Qian needed to show her gentle side in Xu Yang’s arms. Wiping her tears, she choked and said, “Xu Yang… [sobbing] I’m fine.”
“As long as you’re alright, that’s good.”
Xu Yang: “You don’t have to be afraid. No one can hurt you with me around.”
Wan Qian: “Wuu… Xu Yang, I wish I were dead. I want to die and become a ghost so I can be with you.”
She pointed at Chris and said, “I don’t want to become that ugly, disgusting, and hateful… Husband, kill him!”
Chris: “……”
“Ding!”
“Werewolf received fright, virtue points +100, constitution +1, self-healing power +1.”
“Ding!”
“Werewolf received fright, virtue points +100, constitution +1, self-healing power +1.”
“Ding…”
Chris’s pupils contracted violently as he could not help but tremble, involuntarily making guttural noises due to the unrecovered injury to his mouth!
No one is unafraid of death!
Moreover, Chris had actually investigated Xu Yang and knew that this guy… doesn’t play by the rules!
Charlie was a councilmember of the Magician’s Union and a high-ranking Saint Mage. He knew many secrets of the “Magician’s Union.” In theory, capturing and torturing him for information would be the best option.
However, even Charlie was killed, so it seemed he could not escape death either!
Chris closed his eyes, and images from his past involuntarily flashed through his mind…
He was 45 years old now.
At the age of 5, he found out that he belonged to the “holy” werewolf clan!
At 8, he was sent to the werewolves’ “noble school” to undergo the most brutal training, graduated at the age of 20, accomplished missions for two years, and then was deployed to Da Xia…
And he stayed in Da Xia for 23 years!
Chris: “……”
He hastily opened his eyes, and the emotions brewing in his heart dissipated in an instant!
What’s the meaning of my life, dammit?
Thump, thump, thump.
Footsteps echoed in his ears.
Chris’s fear grew as the footsteps approached.
Xu Yang stood before him, smiling, “Just killing him like this would be too easy… I’m going to the Ghost Market later, so I’ll bind him down to suppress his power. When the Ghost Market disperses, I’ll come back and deal with him properly!”
Why kill him right away?
What a shame that would be!
Although this werewolf could only provide Xu Yang with 100 virtue points each time, acquiring “constitution” and “self-healing power” from him did appeal to Xu Yang.
Now, Xu Yang’s martial arts had reached the late stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, his Daoist skills had reached the late stage of the Spirit Refining Realm, and his primordial spirit was on par with the peak-level Daoist True Monarchs. However, his body’s strength was a bit weaker.
“My physical strength and defense are only slightly stronger than a regular Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm… If my physical strength alone could reach the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm, complemented with a powerful self-healing ability and numerous divine powers…”
“Maybe I don’t even need to reach the level of Daoist True Monarch to become invincible.”
At this moment.
It was already 9 PM.
The full moon hung high in the sky, and the night breeze blew gently.
Xu Yang collected Charlie’s storage ring from his body, then took back the wooden sword and Bi Shui sword, pointing at Chris and saying, “You… carry this corpse and follow me.”
Chris, still in his werewolf form, slowly stood up.
His shoulder wound healed at a visible pace. The injury to his mouth had mostly recovered— at least, the shape of his mouth was visible.
His eyes glowed eerily as he stealthily watched Xu Yang’s retreating figure, silently calculating his chances of escape…
“Why are you standing there?”
“Carry the corpse and follow me!”
Pulling Wan Qian’s hand and walking ahead, Xu Yang looked back and urged, asking, “Chris, are you trying to run away?”
“No, no!”
Chris was startled, his head shaking like a rattle drum, and quickly walked over to carry Charlie’s headless body.
“Ding!”
“Werewolf is frightened, Merit Value +100, Constitution +1, Self-Healing +1.”
“You should want to run, but since you’ve fallen into my hands… I have a duty to warn you, don’t think of running, or else… you’re dead for sure!”
Xu Yang coldly said, his fingers like a sword, casually slashing at the small hill where Chris and Charlie were hiding!
Zheng!
Terrifying Great River sword aura shot up into the sky, the majestic sword aura surged from his fingertips, gathering into a whip-like sword aura under the moonlight, falling on the small hill!
This scene was too visually stunning!
The surging sword aura, especially conspicuous under the moonlit night, was hundreds of meters long, and with one slash, the entire small hill was split in half!
“Ding!”
“Werewolf is frightened, Merit Value +100, Constitution +1, Self-Healing +1.”
“Ding!”
“Werewolf is frightened, Merit Value +100, Constitution +1, Self-Healing +1.”
“Ding…”
Feeling Chris’s fear, Xu Yang was very satisfied and said indifferently: “If you want to escape, you will end up like this small hill… If you behave, maybe I’ll give you a chance to live.”
Upon hearing these words, Chris’s heart was filled with joy, and his steps carrying the body became much lighter.
Xu Yang summoned the auspicious cloud and hugged Wan Qian’s waist as they jumped on it.
He drove the auspicious cloud to fly in the sky while Chris, who had regained his human form and was carrying the body, ran on the ground.
When he transformed into a werewolf, his strength was comparable to the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm. When he returned to his human form, he weakened a lot, probably equivalent to a Martial Arts Grandmaster. However, with this strength, he could carry the corpse and keep up with the auspicious cloud, especially since Xu Yang intentionally slowed down.
Soon.
Wolfskin Ridge Village arrived.
Feng Zhaoqing also arrived here.
Upon hearing Xu Yang’s brief account, Feng Zhaoqing’s complexion changed involuntarily, and he said solemnly, “I didn’t expect the Western Sorcerer Association’s hand to reach into our Da Xia again… It seems that after the second spiritual aura revival, those Western countries can’t sit still.”
“Director Feng, can you tell me about the Magician’s Union?”
Xu Yang didn’t know much about the “Western Sorcerer Association” and asked.
Feng Zhaoqing said, “Director Xu should know… that the Western cultivation system is different from ours in Da Xia. Their warriors practice something called battle aura.”
“Their mages can control various elemental powers, cast spells, and have magical means… In addition, there are metahumans and bloodline awakeners in the West, as well as werewolves and vampires.”
With Feng Zhaoqing’s introduction, Xu Yang had a clear understanding of the Western cultivation system.
The Western cultivation system is quite chaotic.
However, metahumans and bloodline awakeners are extremely rare, and werewolves and vampires are actually considered a special bloodline. They can practice battle aura or magic, so they can be roughly divided into two types – mages and warriors.
Since the spiritual aura revival, Western countries have also given birth to some powerhouses.
These powerhouses established the “Magician’s Union”, and they even invaded Da Xia thirty years ago, but they were repelled by the combined forces of the central government and various major clans and Daoist sects within the martial world.
After hearing this, Xu Yang asked doubtfully, “Director Feng, I have a question… You mentioned that the strongest person in the West, Thunder God, is a warrior. So, why is the organization established in the West called Magician’s Union, not Warrior’s Union?”
“I don’t know about that.”
Feng Zhaoqing said, “But I’ve heard that the Western Magician’s Union was not originally called the Magician’s Union, but something like the Metahuman Association. After their failure in invading Da Xia thirty years ago, there seems to be internal conflict, and Thunder God, with a group of people, left the Metahuman Association and formed an organization called the Divine Shield Agency in Miland.”
“The remaining part, renamed the Magician’s Union, is led by someone called the God of Fire. He is from Yingland, named Alfred Richardson, and he is the chairman of the Magician’s Union, with council positions beneath him.”
“Council member?”
Xu Yang pointed to the headless corpse on Chris’s back and said, “This guy seems to be some council member, and he said he’s a Saint Mage or something, his name is Charlie.”
“And this guy, his name is Chris, he’s the source you were looking for.”
Xu Yang reached out and pointed at Chris’s forehead, and a sword aura entered Chris’s body.
“Ding!”
“Werewolf is frightened, Merit Value +100, Constitution +1, Self-Healing +1.”
Chris was startled and exclaimed anxiously, “Celestial Master Xu, what…what have you done to me? I felt a burning force shot into my body.”
Xu Yang: “……”
Westerners really don’t know how to talk!
“I shot it into your body… Tsk!”
Xu Yang said, “I planted a sword aura in your body, and once you move, the sword aura will burst, blasting you into pieces… Alright, follow Director Feng, carry the corpse back, and tell us honestly what you know.”
Glancing at the time, it was almost 10 o’clock.
Xu Yang took Wan Qian back to Wu City, had a late-night snack, and planned to go to the Ghost Market.
Wan Qian hugged Xu Yang’s arm, pressing her pair of peaks against Xu Yang’s arm, and coquettishly said, “Husband… I want to go to the Ghost Market too!”
