The Martial Arts Department (MAD), Lingzhou City.
In the chief's office, which had been silent for a long time —
"What the hell!"
Cheng Dongfeng finally came to his senses and exclaimed in surprise, "For real? Jiang He … grasped sword will? "
"What do you think?"
Duan Tianhe was much calmer than Cheng Dongfeng, and soon recovered from his brief shock, laughing out loud. "That brat Jiang He must be joking with you. Sword will … sword will …"
"He's a blade wielder. Why would he grasp sword will??"
"Moreover, he's just rank-seven advanced. If he really grasped sword will, wouldn't those rank-nine elites who never grasped the Boundary of Wills kill themselves?"
Clearly, the news that Jiang He had reached rank-eight pinnacle had yet to reach Duan Tianhe's ears. It was no secret, since Jiang He had revealed his rank-eight pinnacle cultivation back at Jiangnan.
Still, there was a process for news to spread, and Duan Tianhe did not deliberately ask about it.
He put down the work at hand, lit a cigarette, and walked to the window. He looked in the direction of Jinyintan Village in the distance and said with a smile, "He asked you about the power of conception a few days ago. Maybe he was just joking today."
"Grasping sword will, triggering a phenomenon … it's all nonsense … eh?"
Before Duan Tianhe could finish his sentence, his gaze suddenly froze. He had almost choked on the smoke he had just inhaled!
It was noon, but there was no sun, and the sky outside was gloomy.
And yet, Duan Tianhe noticed that the dark clouds above Jinyintan Village seemed to have been torn apart by a sword. Sunlight shone down through the torn clouds, golden and beautiful.
Soon …
The torn dark clouds gathered together once again, as if they had never appeared.
Duan Tianhe blinked and blankly turned to stare straight at Cheng Dongfeng.
Cheng Dongfeng felt a little creeped out by that stare, and clutched his crotch by reflex, exclaiming, "Old Duan, why the hell are you looking at me like that? Didn't your wife move here? "
"…"
Duan Tianhe's words were stuck in his throat, but he swallowed them back.
After a long while, he finally spoke, "Old Cheng, what if Jiang He really grasped sword will?"
？？？
Cheng Dongfeng was amused. "What do you think?"
"Whatever. Maybe I'm being too sensitive."
Duan Tianhe shook his head, unwilling to dwell on the topic. "The Sky Demon Cult doesn't seem to have given up on Lingzhou City."
"According to the information from above, a large number of elites from the Sky Demon Cult have left recently, with even the Senior Elder and the Sentinel of the Right leaving the cult's headquarters. Minister Wang has already communicated with several ancient martial clans in Xibei, and their elites would come to Lingzhou City in the next few days."
"Old Cheng, have the intelligence department keep an eye on things. The relocation of towns and villages is at the final stage, and we must not be careless to prevent Sky Demon Cultists from infiltrating Lingzhou City."
Cheng Dongfeng nodded in acknowledgment before cursing, "What are those Sky Demon Cult beasts up to?"
"Our Spirit State City is such a godforsaken place, why is it so attractive to them? "Lingzhou City is Sacred Lingzhou, a City, a King and a no place, and a city, a city's Sect's King Saint City. God's so?
Cheng Dongfeng, who never liked to use his brain, suddenly had an idea. His eyes lit up, "Could it be that there are relics and treasures in Lingzhou City?"
Duan Tianhe placed his hand on his forehead, black lines rising on his forehead.
Cheng Dongfeng was a good person, but he was too greedy for money!
… …
In the farm.
Dragon-Slaying Saber in hand, Jiang He cut his finger.
Something awkward happened.
He made three cuts, but still couldn't cut through the skin.
After cultivating the Nine Heavenly Stars Body Forging Art, his body's defensive power had increased a lot. He couldn't break his own defense at all if he used a little bit of force. However, if he used a lot of force, he was afraid that he would cut off his own fingers.
While grandmasters had fine control over their own strength, the problem was that Jiang He had improved so quickly that he did not have the time to familiarize himself with his own strength, and could only 'cut his fingers' at the last minute to hone his control over his own strength.
Jiang He sighed as he cut his fingers.
He was probably the only martial artist in the world who used this method to train himself, right?
"It's lucky that my physique is strong and I probably wouldn't get sick. Otherwise, I would have to find a divine-tier nurse and an S-grade alloy needle if I did get sick and need fluid transfusion. Only then would they be able to pierce my skin and blood vessels."
After cutting around a dozen times, with each cut being heavier, Jiang He eventually became irritated.
Boom-crack!
Jiang He slashed out, and the blade of his Dragon-Slaying Saber flashed with thunderbolts as a ten-meter thunder slash instantly erupted.
Poof ~ ~
Finally, Jiang He cut open his finger.
Delighted, Jiang He quickly drew out the Scarlet Flame Sword and squeezed out a drop of blood from his cut finger.
Ooom!
Just as the drop of blood landed, the Scarlet Flame Sword flashed in scarlet radiance, and the entire sword turned into a scarlet radiance that tunneled into Jiang He's brow.
He sensed it with his inner vision.
Jiang He realized in shock that the Scarlet Flame Sword had paused above the ocean of swords as well, and seemed to be resonating with the luminous sword manifested from his most taboo superpower, humming and vibrating without end.
The vibration lasted up to four minutes, before the luminous sword finally vanished into the Scarlet Flame Sword in a flash.
"What the hell!"
Jiang He was stunned!
My superpower … is gone?
And yet, when he looked at his System panel, he found that the words' Royal Sword 'were still there.
"This should be my extraordinary ability that has fused with this spiritual artifact."
Jiang He thought then.
Snikt!
Shooting out from between his brows, the scarlet radiance expanded against the wind and instantly turned into a fiery longsword that swirled in the air above the farm.
Putting on an act, Jiang He pointed into the distance and barked, "Go!"
Whoosh!
The scarlet radiance moved as he willed and instantly shot out, stopping around 800 meters away.
It was only when the Scarlet Flame Sword stopped that the piercing whistle of the air echoed. It was because the Scarlet Flame Sword had shot out so quickly that it far surpassed the speed of sound.
With a wave of Jiang He's hand, the Scarlet Flame Sword flew back to him and nurtured in the ocean of swords in his head.
"Right now, my mental strength can only radiate 800 meters away. If my mental strength radiates out in the future, it can reach 8,000 meters, 80000 meters … Perhaps one day, the saying that I can take someone's head from a thousand miles away will come true."
In a good mood, Jiang He hummed a tune as he left the farm.
There were still a lot of things he had yet to plant, but there was no rush.
After all, there was a balance between work and rest.
He had been farming for hours, so it was good to rest.
Returning to his mansion, Jiang He turned on his phone to find a news flash …
"Feral King ambushes city. In the moment of life and death, the top martial artist of the Hua Nation intervenes and slays it …"
Jiang He's eyes twitched as he clicked on the news. The description made sense and matched the facts of the day, but he could not help being dumbfounded when he clicked on the short video attached to the news —
In the video, someone was clenching his fist and shouting at the horizon amidst the chaos in Jiangnan City.
His shouts gradually spread out, and finally ….
Almost half of Jiangnan City's population was shouting at the same time —
"Congratulations to the Hua Nation, congratulations to Minister Wang!"
"Congratulations to the Hua Nation, congratulations to Minister Wang!!!"
Jiang He came to his senses then and muttered, "That voice … it was synthesized later, wasn't it?"
Wasn't their slogan back then 'Minister Wang is awesome, Minister Wang 666'?
