"Be a good boy, grandson. Try spitting another air blade."
Jiang He said, pointing at his own chest. "Spit it here. Spit as hard as you can."
It was inaccurate to judge the actual power of Eldest Brother's air blade with his eyes alone, and Jiang He felt that it was better to test it on his own body.
hetui！
Eldest Brother opened his mouth and spat another air blade.
Whoosh!
The sound of the air blade tearing through the air instantly erupted in the farm, and in the next instant …
Clang!
The sound of colliding steel echoed. Jiang He felt a pain in his chest, the shockwave from the impact of the air blade against his chest leaving his hair fluttering for several seconds.
Jiang He looked down to find that his new tracksuit was torn at the chest area, and there was a red blade mark over his beautiful and indescribable pectoral muscles.
"Not bad, not bad at all. The power of that slash is not bad to leave a red mark under my flesh."
Jiang He nodded, very satisfied with the power of the air blade. "This air blade is a little stronger than the first one you spat out before, and it's more or less equal to the strike of a divine-conversion pinnacle martial artist. If it's twenty, thirty … or even fifty times stronger, it might hurt me."
By 'hurt me', Jiang He meant that the slash would cut open his skin and muscles, and as for breaking his bones … that would require a Void-tier attack.
"Still …"
Jiang He slapped Eldest Brother's head and barked, "You can spit air blades if you want to, but why do you have to add a sound effect?" “
That 'hetui' sounded as if he had been spat on.
Eldest Brother rubbed his head, his eyes reddening as he said pitifully, "Grandpa, weren't you the one who told me to spit as hard as I could? I just feel like I can't use it if I don't. "
Jiang He did a double take, and could not help laughing …
So, the air blade he spat out needed a sound effect to unleash its full power?
Jiang He could not help being amused as he imagined the image of the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers spitting air blades and the weird sound effect …
[Ding!]
[+ 5000 Farm Points]
[Ding!]
[+ 5000 Farm Points]
"Ding …"
Hence, Jiang He plucked off the remaining bottle gourds and gave one to each of the six Bottle Gourd Brothers. Their reactions after eating the bottle gourds were identical to Eldest Brother's — all of them ascended to rank-nine with a flash of green light.
hetui！
hetui！
The six brothers opened their mouths and spat out the Force Blade at the same time. For example, the Force Blade spat out by the Eldest Baby was larger, the Second Baby's Force Blade was more agile, and the Third Baby's Force Blade shone with a golden radiance. It was similar to the Third Baby's "Copper Head, Iron Arms, and Iron Bones".
The energy saber that the Fourth Baby spat out was intertwined with thunder and fire. The Fifth Baby spat out a water saber. The energy saber that the Sixth Baby spat out was formless and could only be detected with one's mind power. As for the Seventh Baby … as the youngest, his presence was usually very low. The energy saber that he spat out was also very small. It was mixed in with the other energy sabers and was difficult to detect if one did not look carefully.
"Interesting."
"The Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers actually fused their own abilities and characteristics into the energy saber."
Jiang He nonchalantly redeemed several hundred nitrogen and compound fertilizers and handed them to the seven brothers.
"Eat these fertilizers and reach divine-tier as soon as possible. When that happens, the energy saber might change and become stronger."
Right now, Jiang He had over 2.3 million Farm Points, and he would not even blink if he used a hundred thousand Farm Points to groom the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers.
Hence, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers ran off in delight after distributing the fertilizer pellets.
After sending the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers away, Jiang He turned towards the spot where he planted the Nameless Sword Array. He found a small jasper tree that was over two meters tall. Its trunk, branches, and leaves were all the color of jasper, and it glinted beautifully under the night sky.
And there were seven jade scrolls hanging on the branches of the jasper tree.
Jiang He walked up and plucked one.
[Ding!]
[+ 10,000 Farm Points.]
He carefully studied the jade scroll in his hand, extending his spirit inside to find that it recorded the layout of the Sword Array of Seven Stars and Eight Trigrams. Jiang He, who was about to put the jade scroll away, suddenly froze …
"The Sword Array of Seven Stars and Eight Trigrams requires seven inferior-grade flying swords (the minimum requirement) as the array base to lay out the Sword Array of Seven Stars and Eight Trigrams …"
What followed was the details and method to lay out the Sword Array of Seven Stars and Eight Trigrams with seven flying swords.
"Seven … inferior-grade flying swords?"
Damn it!
Jiang He was a little speechless. He had miscalculated!
He was only thinking about how to create the sword array, but he didn't expect that … to set up the sword array, there was a requirement for the number of Dharma treasures and flying swords. He only had one supreme-grade spirit artifact, the Scarlet Flame Sword, on him. These seven …
Where could he find them?
"Plant them?"
"But what about the seeds … mystic flying swords require fragments of flying swords or sword embryos as seeds."
With that thought in mind, Jiang He reached out and plucked another jade scroll.
[Ding!]
[+ 10000 Farm Points.]
The jade scroll was the first fold of the Nameless Sword Array he had created, which recorded the Sword Array of Ice and Fire Duality. Jiang He studied it closely, and found that it was much simpler to set up than the Sword Array of Seven Stars and Eight Trigrams. Everything else aside, he only needed two flying swords.
"However, this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Sword Formation has a requirement towards the attribute of the flying sword. It requires a fire attribute spirit weapon flying sword and a water attribute spirit weapon flying sword … My Crimson Flame Sword is a fire attribute spirit weapon flying sword, so I only need a water attribute spirit weapon flying sword to be able to execute the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Sword Formation."
Jiang He plucked off the remaining jade scrolls and studied them closely, realizing that the Sword Array of Yin-Yang and Trigrams required three flying swords, while the Sword Array of Four Harmonies and Ten Thousand Phenomenon required four.
The Six Pulse Five Elements Sword Formation required six flying swords to be set up. One of them was the "main sword", and the remaining five swords required five different types of spirit artifact flying swords of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. When the sword formation was activated, the power of the five elements would erupt, and the sixth "main sword" would be able to unify the power of the five elements to kill the enemy.
"The Sword Array of Ten Realms and Infinity requires ten inferior-grade flying swords, which means I have to get at least ten flying swords … and inferior-grade is the lowest requirement for flying swords. I naturally have to get something stronger if I'm going to make one, and it should at least be on the same level as the Scarlet Flame Sword, right?"
After musing to himself for a long time, Jiang He whipped out his phone and dialed Wang Hou's number.
However, Wang Hou's phone showed that he was temporarily out of service, and he could not get through after several attempts. Hence, he had to compromise and call Zhou Yu instead.
"Is there something you need, Mister Jiang?"
Zhou Yu picked up the call immediately and said with a smile, "Why don't I pay Mr. Jiang a visit and we can talk face to face?"
"You're not back yet?"
Jiang He suddenly remembered that Zhou Yu had come to Lingzhou City to deliver him the Orirocks and the Sword Will Barrenwort. Still, wasn't that guy always busy with work? Why was he still in Lingzhou City?
Since he was asking for Zhou Yu's help, how inappropriate was it to have someone else come to his house?
Jiang He smiled. "Could I trouble you to make a trip, Deputy Zhou? How about this — I have something to do in Lingzhou City, so let's meet in Duan Tianhe's office. "
"You're being too polite, Mister Jiang. It's only right that I visit you."
Zhou Yu was in awe, and could not help rising to his feet even over the phone.
Jiang He returned to his room and changed into a new set of clothes. After washing up a little, he climbed into his sports car, started it, and issued a voice command … Vroom. The sports car's engine roared to life, and it sped towards Lingzhou City.
Leaning back on his seat, Jiang He took out a bottle of rank-nine Origin Fluid to moisten his throat, and could not help chuckling. "I've gotten used to flying around lately, so I don't drive much. I really miss sleeping in a car."
Humans.
They had to learn to remember the good from the bad.
Sitting in the sports car, Jiang He could not help remembering the days when he used the sports car as his bedroom. It had been so hard, and he had to drive there even though it was over a thousand kilometers away from Lingzhou City …
The road conditions were bad and bumpy, and he could not sleep well even as he drove.
Soon.
Jiang He arrived outside Lingzhou City.
What surprised him was that the high-voltage electrical fence outside the city was already completed.
The twenty-meter-tall electrical fence encircled all of Lingzhou City, leaving only a single metal fence gate at the eastern part of the city. There were soldiers standing guard at the gate twenty-four hours a day, and inside the fence were many sturdy military fortifications and various heavyweight weapons.
Outside the fence, many new factories had been built to meet the daily needs of the city residents, as well as to arrange jobs for everyone.
Moreover, there were farmlands around the factories. Some of those farmlands already existed, while others were newly built after nearby buildings and greenery were demolished … after all, farmlands in the wilderness were too dangerous at the moment, and there was no telling when Ferals would roam the area. That was why farmlands had to be built near the city, and the military and the Martial Arts Department (MAD) could come to the rescue immediately if something happened.
It was fortunate that the Revival of Qi had greatly increased food production, and the civilians would not have to go hungry.
Parking his sports car outside the electrical fence, Jiang He could not help feeling emotional at the sight …
A soldier approached him and saluted, saying, "Sir, please show me your identification."
Jiang He got off the car and offered the soldier a fist-palm salute, returning the salute of a martial artist. These soldiers had sacrificed too much to protect the country in this day and age.
The news, media, and even the citizens would be emotional every day about the Feral Swarm erupting somewhere and how many people died …
Even so, they did not know that many soldiers were dying in the fight against the Ferals on a daily basis. Some of their corpses were not even preserved in one piece, and some were even completely devoured by the Ferals.
These soldiers, as well as the warriors who fought against the Ferocious Beasts in the wilderness, were the ones who deserved the most respect.
After checking Jiang He's identification, the soldier opened the metal gates and let Jiang He through. Jiang He drove to the MAD, and found that the atmosphere inside was somber. It was almost ten o 'clock, but there were still martial artists entering and leaving the MAD's gates. Some of them were even soaked in blood, clearly having just gone through a great battle.
Jiang He stopped one of the martial artists to ask about it, and only then did he learn …
The huge earthquake caused by the collapse of the great Dong Mountain relic caused the beasts in the great Dong Mountain to flee in fear. A number of small-scale beasts rebelled in various places. These warriors had all gone to help the military defend against and kill the beasts.
Jiang He arrived at Duan Tianhe's office.
Duan Tianhe, Cheng Dongfeng, Ji Dongxu, Zhou Yu, and even Chen Jingzhou were all there, and all of them appeared somber.
Cheng Dongfeng was the first to greet Jiang He when he saw him, saying somberly, "Jiang He, something happened. Minister Wang …"
"He's hurt!"
Jiang He raised a brow and frowned. "What happened? Old Wang is not weak. Who could have hurt him? "
The others traded glances, and Zhou Yu stepped forward.
He told them about the recent Feral King riots across the Hua Nation, as well as the Shaolin Temple elites slaying the Feral King, leading to the gathering of tens of thousands of Ferals, before Lin Tianzheng single-handedly slaughtered almost half of them. "Before that, the Dragoncroc Emperor had said that it would negotiate with Minister Wang to prevent a war between humans and Ferals. After that incident, the Dragoncroc Emperor was enraged, and Minister Wang headed to Shennongjia to negotiate with it, but …"
"Negotiations fell through?"
Jiang He frowned. Was the Dragoncroc Emperor that irascible after negotiations fell through?
Zhou Yu shook his head, saying, "The Dragoncroc Emperor did not show up, and Minister Wang was ambushed just as he arrived at Shennongjia … according to Minister Wang, the one who ambushed him could be the Saint of the Sky Demon Cult."
"Eh?"
Jiang He's gaze twitched.
Zhou Yu flashed a pained smile. "The Sky Demon Cult had suffered terrible losses at your hands, and the Saint of the Sky Demon Cult, who has always been elusive, must have panicked … moreover, he ambushed Minister Wang in Shennongjia, which is the Dragoncroc Emperor's domain. The Dragoncroc Emperor is stronger than Minister Wang, and how could it not know that a Void-tier elite had infiltrated its lair?"
Jiang He's voice darkened as he asked, "Do you mean that the Saint of the Sky Demon Cult and the Dragoncroc Emperor are working together?"
Zhou Yu nodded.
Meanwhile, Jiang He's heart skipped a beat!
The Dragoncroc Emperor?
The Saint of the Sky Demon Cult?
"The Sky Demon Cult has always wanted to kill me … the Dragoncroc Emperor had been spying on me since I killed so many Feral Kings and the Golden-Winged Roc, and I could vaguely sense a killing intent … now that those two bastards are working together …"
"They wouldn't be trying to kill me, would they?"
Jiang He's scalp was numb!
The Dragoncroc Emperor was stronger than the Golden-Winged Roc, and its ability was unfathomable!
The Saint of the Sky Demon Cult … according to Yan Dehao, she was definitely not weak either.
"Would I be able to stop them if they were really working together against me?" Jiang He thought about it … and it seemed like he could really stop them. Still, there were always exceptions to everything, and it was better to be safe than sorry. How could someone as steady and low-key as himself joke around with his own life?
"No!"
"Sitting around and waiting for death is not who I am!"
"I have to retaliate!"
"At the very least, I have to kill one of them … or I'm going to lose sleep again!"
