Jiang He put away the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle's corpse with a wave of his hand.
Three Blades Lin came to his senses then and stared straight at Jiang He for over a dozen seconds, still in slight disbelief. "That's the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle," he asked. "Even I would have a hard time stopping it if it tried to escape. You …"
"How did you kill it?"
It was not that Three Blades Lin was underestimating Jiang He.
After all, he had just fought Jiang He two days ago, and though Jiang He had shown great combat ability, he was not heaven-defying enough to slay the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle.
After all, he, Three Blades Lin, had only slain one Feral King since the Revival of Qi.
You, a Rank-9, killed two in a day. You're practically going to heaven.
There was a smug look on Jiang He's face as he smiled. "I've thought about it on the way here. If the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle tried to flee, I wouldn't have a fifty percent chance of stopping it. That is why I feigned weakness and let it get careless, before suddenly going on a rampage and instakilling it. That way, it wouldn't be able to flee."
That … That made sense.
If I really had the ability to kill the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle in one hit, would I have let it escape?
Taking a deep breath to calm his raging mind, Three Blades Lin said, "I must report this to Minister Wang at once, Jiang He. As for keeping it a secret … have you killed all the Ferals on Mount Tian?"
"Ah?"
Jiang He's expression changed and regret filled his face. "Damn it, I was too careless … I only killed a dozen Ferals and the rest ran away. Could they have run off to inform the Golden-Winged Roc?"
Blade in hand, Jiang He turned, his killing intent boiling as he was about to charge up Mount Tian to slay the daemons, but was stopped by Three Blades Lin.
"No need, Jiang He."
No longer blanking out like before, Three Blades Lin laughed out loud and said heroically, "It's fine. So what if the Golden-Winged Roc knows? Be at ease and go to your secret realm. I'll return to the capital and discuss this matter with Minister Wang. "
"Don't worry and cultivate. Strive to reach divine-tier as soon as possible."
"You killed the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle, and that was within the rules. It's just a Golden-Winged Roc, it can't overturn the heavens!"
Three Blades Lin's Blade Qi shot to the skies.
With a swoosh, he turned into a saber light and soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.
He flew toward the capital at top speed, his expression solemn.
So what if the Golden-Winged Roc King flipped out?
Jiang He must be protected!
This kind of Rank-9 prodigy could kill King Beasts like chopping vegetables. So what if a great war broke out for him?
Hua Nation did not achieve what it had today by being submissive and feigning civility with the Feral Beasts, but by killing countless martial arts experts and Awakened Transcendents!
"He … he left just like that?"
There was a look of envy in Jiang He's eyes as he stared at the blade light that took to the skies …
At the Divinity realm, one could fly in the air.
However, he couldn't. He had to rely on his flying sword to 'Sword Kinesis Flight'.
Nonetheless, Jiang He sighed when he remembered about the Golden-Winged Roc. "Whatever. It's not realistic to kill a powerful Feral Emperor with my current ability, and just as Three Blades Lin said, improving myself is the most important thing right now."
The Emperor of Ferals corresponded to the Phantasmal Realm, and with an equivalent conversion, the Phantasmal Realm of the martial dao was equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm of the immortal dao.
"So what if it's Nascent Soul?"
"I walk the path of the immortal swordsman, and according to the Xianxia novels, immortal swordsmen are unmatched among their peers and could kill enemies above their own tier. Killing a Golden-Winged Roc like that would be a piece of cake."
Jiang He strode forward, darting toward Lake Kanas.
In any case, when he came, he said that he would be back in four hours, and now, only an hour had passed …
Hence …
Jiang He slowed down, and took out a tuft of Twenty-Seven-Leafed Sword Will Barrenwort from his System Backpack even as he hurried on his way.
Condensing his sword will, he reached out toward the Twenty-Seven-Leafed Sword Will Barrenwort, and in the next instant …
Boom!
As if thunder rumbled in his head, Jiang He's dashing figure froze abruptly, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
His face turned immeasurably pale, and he promptly sat cross-legged, baring his teeth as he cursed, "What the hell … it really doesn't work to cultivate sword will on the way. Moreover, isn't this Twenty-Seven-Leafed Sword Will Barrenwort I planted a little too powerful?"
Violent sword will battered the sea of swords in Jiang He's mind.
He had condensed his sword will to the very limit to resist the violent sword will.
As if he had tempered it thousands of times, his sword will had become purer and sharper. Jiang He himself, on the other hand, closed his eyes and immersed himself in sword will enlightenment.
A two-meter-long venomous spider had quietly climbed onto the treetop over Jiang He's head.
Its frightening eyes were rolling, and venom dripped out of its fearsome mouth.
Suddenly, the venomous spider dropped down from the treetop and leaped toward Jiang He. Even so, its entire body abruptly burst apart even before it could reach him, as if cut into pieces by countless sharp swords.
A mist of blood fell, but could not touch Jiang He at all.
Veins of formless Sword Qi encircled his body, manifested from sword will, and they were rapidly strengthening.
After an hour, the Twenty-Seven-Leafed Sword Will Barrenwort slowly withered into a stalk of weeds. Jiang He opened his eyes, sword radiance pulsing within them. After sensing it for a while, he was all smiles. "Impressive. This Twenty-Seven-Leafed Sword Will Barrenwort is really extraordinary. Just one stalk had improved my sword will from thirty percent to seventy percent."
With a wave of his hand, Jiang He took out the second Twenty-Seven-Leafed Sword Will Barrenwort and thought to himself, "The second stalk might be a little weaker and wouldn't perfect my sword will, but improving it to ninety percent is definitely not an issue."
Charging his sword will, he invoked the sword will within the Twenty-Seven-Leafed Sword Will Barrenwort to resist it and refine his own sword will once again.
Soon, another hour had passed.
Snikt!
A sword's hum resounded over Jiang He's body.
The figure who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground rose to his feet. With a thought, the Scarlet Flame Sword turned into a scarlet longsword and landed in Jiang He's hand, and he simply swung it —
Whoosh!
A frightening Sword Qi descended, and everything in its path, be it trees or boulders, was cut apart without a sound.
Withdrawing his sword, Jiang He felt out his own body to find that an illusory sword fetus was showing signs of solidifying amidst the sea of swords in his head.
'My Sword Dao Will has actually transformed into a sword embryo … Perhaps this sword embryo has completely solidified, which means my Sword Dao Will has reached the Great Perfection stage, right?'
Jiang He could not help smiling begrudgingly and shaking his head at the thought, a look of sorrow in his eyes.
There was no helping it …
It was too difficult for him to cultivate alone.
Even if his understanding of sword will was nearing full mastery, he knew nothing about sword techniques. He had not even cultivated basic sword techniques, and all he could do was guess …
His sword will was probably above ninety percent.
It was around ninety-five percent or ninety-six percent.
"How should I cultivate sword will to full mastery now?"
"Should I train my sword will?"
Rubbing his temples, Jiang He was a little worried.
After his farm leveled up to level four, he had three more chances to plant cultivation manuals. Now that he had planted the Three Thousand Calamities and the Nine Heavenly Star Body Formula, should he plant another sword technique?
"Whatever."
"I'll worry about planting sword manuals after I get back. Four hours would be up soon, and I'll meet up with Chen Jingzhou and the others."
"Eh?"
Jiang He was about to head to Lake Kanas when he sensed something, and looked up at the horizon …
In the sky, a huge golden eagle was flying towards Sky Mountain. The eagle's claws were purple and there was a tuft of purple feathers on its head. It looked like it was wearing a purple crown.
"Isn't that the Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle, the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle's good sister who lives at Mount Kunlun? Why is she going to Mount Tian? Could it know that I killed the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle? "
"No, that's not right. How could news travel between Ferals so quickly?"
"Maybe … it just wants to find its good sister to reminisce about the past and talk about daily life."
Jiang He's eyes twinkled thoughtfully.
…
Meanwhile, Three Blades Lin had arrived at Jingdu City.
He went straight to Wang Hou's office at the headquarters of the Martial Arts Department (MAD).
"Why are you back, Old Lin?"
Wang Hou, who was crossing his legs and holding a Thermos cup exclaimed in surprise when he saw Three Blades Lin return. "Didn't I ask you to escort Jiang He and the others to Tantra? They shouldn't have reached Tantra yet, should they? "
"There was an accident."
Three Blades Lin cut to the chase. "After Jiang He killed the Red Toad King, he went to Mount Tian and killed the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle."
Pfft ~
Wang Hou, who was sipping tea from his Thermos cup, spat it out at those words and exclaimed in shock, "Didn't you call to say that he reached rank-nine last night? That Golden-Crowned Black Eagle is a peak Feral King … "
"Moreover, Lake Kanas is over eight hundred kilometers away from Mount Tian, isn't it?"
"That brat is so bored that he went to Mount Tian?"
"I heard that he's there for revenge."
"Revenge?"
Wang Hou mused to himself, and could not help his mouth twitching when he remembered how the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle breathed golden light to test Jiang He's ability …
What the hell.
Is the brat even more petty than I am?
Well …
Revenge?
Fine.
Even if it was revenge, how many days had it only been? You purposely ran eight hundred miles to take revenge?
Wang Hou rose to his feet, completely unconcerned about the matter and chuckled. "It's just a Golden-Crowned Black Eagle. So what if it's killed? Jiang He is just rank-nine. It's not like he's breaking the rules. Even if the Feral Eagles are powerful … do we humans lack elites? "
Three Blades Lin said impassively, "Both the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle and the Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle are the Golden-Winged Roc's concubines, and the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle had even laid two eggs for the Golden-Winged Roc."
"By the way, the eggs are with Jiang He now."
Wang Hou: "…"
After remaining silent for a long time, he suddenly burst into laughter and slammed the vacuum flask on the desk, shattering it into pieces. "Good, well done!" he said with a smile.
"I've been saying that the brat Jiang He has limitless future, and it seems that I was right about him."
"Minister Wang …"
Three Blades Lin was at a loss for words. "Shouldn't we be thinking about how to deal with the rampaging Golden-Winged Roc? Moreover, Jiang He had killed three Feral Kings in a week, the Black King Drake, the Red Toad King, and the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle. I'm afraid those Feral Kings wouldn't agree to that. "
"Hehe."
Wang Hou sneered and said, "Old Lin, send word to every Divine-tier elite in the Hua Nation to prepare for war. Also, contact the martial clans and have their Ancestral Patriarchs who are cultivating in seclusion come out and kill the daemons."
"Old Zhou!"
He growled, and Zhou Yu walked in from outside.
Wang Hou then said, "Old Zhou, send someone to contact the five Holy Grounds. Tell them that I want to borrow men, and have them lend me a Void-tier elite from each faction aside from the elites they have stationed. I'll personally lead them to the Golden-Winged Roc's lair, and see if it dares to cause trouble!"
"If it does, let's fight!"
In that very moment, Wang Hou appeared immeasurably domineering!
Aside from his ability, his personality had everything to do with his current position … Wang Hou was domineering and domineering, and he would start a fight at the slightest disagreement with Feral Kings.
He might have been milder before, but now that he had come to an agreement with the five Holy Grounds, would he be held back by beasts?
"Minister Wang … isn't that a little inappropriate? It's only been a few months of peace, and now we're going to fight? "
"Fight!"
Wang Hou said decisively. "It's fine if the Ferals don't make a move, but we'll attack directly if they do. We'll talk after we kill a bunch of them, and if we can't even get rid of the beasts on Earth, how are we supposed to fight our extraterrestrial enemies?"
"Alright!"
Three Blades Lin was a heroic person, and promptly laughed out loud. "If we really fight, I'll be the first to charge. Minister Wang …"
Before he could finish his sentence, his phone suddenly rang.
Taking out his phone from his pocket and glancing at the caller ID, Three Blades Lin blinked and asked in confusion, "It's Jiang He. We've just parted ways, so why is the brat calling me again?"
He answered.
Seeing that Wang Hou was giving him a look, Three Blades Lin understood and put the call on speaker mode.
Jiang He's voice could be heard from the other end of the call, and he appeared a little embarrassed as he said meekly, "Old Lin … well … the Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle has gone to Mount Tian."
"Hmmm?"
Three Blades Lin's face twitched, but before he could say anything, Jiang He quickly added, "But don't worry, I'll deal with the trouble I caused myself. To prevent the Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle from alerting the Golden-Winged Roc ahead of time, I've already killed it …"
Thud!
Three Blades Lin's hand shuddered and he dropped his phone.
What the hell!
What the hell …
How did the best Feral Kings turn into cabbages when it came to Jiang He?
Did he kill them whenever he wanted?
Jiang He's voice continued from the dropped phone, saying, "Hey, hey … Old Lin, are you listening? Didn't you say you're going to meet Minister Wang? Talk to Minister Wang and see if he can provide me with a few hundred or a few thousand raw stones and a few dozen Sword Will Grasses as compensation. When I return from the secret realm of Tantra, I'll kill a Direbeast Emperor for him! "
