Electric Light's face turned serious. He lowered his voice and asked, "Warriors? Does that include KING? "
Sakura did not speak. She remained silent for a long time before she nodded slightly.
If it was in the past, she might have firmly believed that KING would never do such a thing.
But now, she had seen through KING's hypocritical nature. He was definitely the kind of selfish person who would do anything to achieve his goals. How could he let Electric Light off just because of old friendships?
Electric Light was an ordinary person. He simply did not understand what spirit crystals meant to warriors in this Age of Chaos. It meant an increase in cultivation realm, a significant increase in lifespan, and a massive amount of wealth that ordinary people did not even dare to think about.
Furthermore, these were six extremely rare elemental Spiritual Crystals. Their value could not be measured with money. Perhaps, they could only be described with one word: they were priceless.
To be honest, if Electric Light was not her only friend in the Freedom Alliance, she would have been tempted to kill him and seize his treasures.
Electric Light's expression was very complicated. Although he did not know why this thing was precious, he was very clear that Sakura was a person who never lied and was definitely not trying to scare him.
Although KING had always been good to him, he was more willing to believe in Sakura because she was a very principled person. Even when carrying out a mission, she would never indiscriminately kill the innocent, which formed a sharp contrast with those inhumane members of the Freedom Alliance.
No one knew that every time he was responsible for providing technical support and saw those members of the Freedom Alliance unscrupulously releasing their inner beastly nature, he could not wait to kill these beasts with his own hands.
It should not be forgotten that although he had initially joined the Freedom Alliance because he was seeking excitement and was short of money, he was after all just an ordinary otaku in the real world. Deep down, he was still a law-abiding citizen with his own moral standards and bottom line.
He could accept killing for the sake of carrying out a mission, but those psychopathic guys not only indiscriminately killed the innocent, but also liked to torture and kill, which seriously challenged his moral bottom line.
However, he was just a hacker, not a powerful warrior. No matter how much he disliked him, he dared not speak up. Those psychopathic guys would not show the slightest bit of mercy when it came to killing people.
Moreover, he also knew a big secret that Sakura did not know. Originally, he did not want to say it, but at this moment, he suddenly had a desire to confide in this cold-faced but warm-hearted woman.
"Sakura, I have a secret to tell you …"
There was a look of determination in the man's eyes. Just as he was about to reveal the big secret, there was a sudden crash. The car door opened and King got in.
"What secret?"
King was obviously in a good mood. He looked at Sakura and asked Electric ambiguously.
Electric's complexion changed. He forced an unnatural smile and stammered, "No … nothing."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? If it weren't for the fact that I'm already married, I would definitely pursue Sakura."
King said with a grin.
"That's enough. Is it interesting?"
Sakura said coldly as she wiped the Tachi in her hand.
King had long been accustomed to her indifference. He shrugged his shoulders indifferently and winked at Electric Light. "Come on, I have faith in you."
Electric Light laughed awkwardly and quickly changed the topic, "Has the mission been completed?"
"Haven't you been keeping an eye on him? Don't you know whether you've completed the mission or not? "
King stared at him in surprise and asked suspiciously. His eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the base of the transmission matrix in King's hand. An obscure look of greed flashed across his eyes.
Electric Light's heart skipped a beat. He had been so focused on telling Sakura the big secret that he had forgotten to put this unknown thing away. Although King had only glanced at it and pretended not to see it, the more he acted like this, the more it proved that Sakura was right. King had his eyes on this thing.
An innocent man's wealth would get him into trouble. Electric Light was very clear about this.
Although he was very reluctant to part with it, he still pretended to know nothing in order to save his life. He threw the base of the transmission matrix to King with a grin and said apologetically, "King, you know that I've always been very interested in this kind of thing that contains supernatural energy. So I left for a while just now to look for it. So I'm not sure whether the mission has been completed or not. But seeing that you're in such a good mood, I don't have to ask to know that the mission has been completed successfully."
"What is this? Where did it come from? "
Feeling the majestic spiritual energy in the transmission matrix, King's heart was filled with ecstasy. However, he did not show it on his face. He pretended to be puzzled and asked hypocritically.
Sakura looked straight ahead without turning her head. She sighed in her heart. Electric Light was still too naive. Did he really think that he would be able to escape by voluntarily handing the thing over to King?
If news of such a precious spiritual crystal were to leak out, it would definitely attract the covetous eyes of countless martial artists. How could King keep such a thing with his strength?
Therefore, in order to keep it a secret, he would definitely kill to silence them. What made her slightly depressed was that Electric was not the only one who would be silenced. It was very likely that she would be included as well.
This made her subconsciously tighten her grip on the knife in her hand. Although she was a little depressed, she was not afraid.
Although King's cultivation realm was slightly higher than hers, realm and combat power were two different things.
If King really did not care about their past relationship and attacked her, she promised that she would let him see how terrifying the combat power of the most talented ninja in Japan was.
"Didn't you say that you felt an energy fluctuation? I searched carefully and found this little thing. I studied it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was used for. I'll give it to you. "
Electric Light said indifferently, trying to make his expression as natural as possible.
King looked at him meaningfully and said with an extremely hypocritical smile, "How can I take your thing? But since you haven't figured out what it is, I'll keep it for the time being. I'll find a few experts to take a look at it and figure out what it is."
"You were the one who found it. I just ran an errand to get it back. Of course, it belongs to you."
Electric Light was not a fool. The more King said in this way, the more it showed that he wanted to kill him. This made him feel uneasy. He tried hard to squeeze out a stiff smile, trying to dispel King's killing intent.
"If it's yours, it's yours. I won't take it from you."
Unfortunately, he was still disappointed. KING was determined to kill him to keep him quiet.
Electric's expression changed slightly. He was afraid that King could not wait to kill him. He pretended to be calm and looked at the time. He changed the topic and said, "Why isn't Ray back yet?"
"He should be back soon. The crime scene has been cordoned off by the police. His Western face is very conspicuous. He must have taken a detour to come back."
King put away the teleportation pedestal and explained nonchalantly.
"This place is too close to the crime scene. I don't think it's safe. Let's leave here first and let Ray meet us somewhere else."
Ying suddenly said.
It suddenly occurred to her that the target was a legendary hermit who was not dead at all. Maybe he had already arrived here with King.
This made her feel very uneasy. She always felt that there seemed to be a pair of invisible eyes staring at her in the dark.
"Alright, I'll contact Ray."
King thought it made sense, so he agreed immediately.
However, he stared at the back of Ying's head suspiciously. He thought that this woman usually did not talk much when she was on a mission. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to suggest something, which made him feel very unusual.
Ying did not care what he was thinking. She started the car and quickly drove out of the parking lot.
She still wanted to be the hermit's disciple and learn the supreme ninjutsu of Japan that had long been lost. It would be such a waste if the hermit thought she was KING's accomplice and killed her.
Alright, in reality, they were indeed accomplices. It was just that they were not on the same page anymore. In reality, she had been dragged here by KING's coaxing and pestering. She had no interest in the mission at all.
She had not expected to provoke such a powerful hermit. Hopefully, the hermit would not take his anger out on her.
Ying prayed silently. She glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time. She had a feeling that the hermit was in the car. She was afraid that he would suddenly jump out and kill them all without saying a word.
In reality, she had guessed correctly. Ding Ning was really in the car. However, he had no intention of making a move now. He would not be able to sleep well if he did not find out how Ray had attacked him.
At this moment, he was looking at the modified car with great interest, especially the 360-degree holographic projection technology, which made him very envious. If he could learn this technology and equip it in his own cinema, the cinema company would definitely become an instant hit and attract more people to watch movies.
There were not many things in this world that could pique his interest. However, this holographic projection technology was definitely one of them. Also, Ying could be counted as one of them.
Uh, don't misunderstand. He was not interested in Ying. He was interested in the sword in her hand. Of course, because of this sword, Ding Ning had also developed a strong interest in Ying.
Perhaps the average person would only feel that the sword was a murderous weapon with a strong evil aura. However, he, who had been practicing swordsmanship since he was young, could tell the origins of the sword at a glance.
The Muramasa Demon Sword was the evilest sword in the world. It was also the most ominous sword. The previous owners of the sword did not have a good ending. They were either killed by their own subordinates or close officials. Their deaths were extremely tragic.
In Fu Sang, there were many versions of the legends of the Muramasa Demon Sword. Almost all of them had demonized it. However, in Ding Ning's eyes, a sword was a sword. There was no distinction between good and evil. The one who defined it as evil was the person who used it.
In reality, there was a reason why the previous owners of the sword did not have a good ending. It could be said that they died in the hands of the sword, but it could also be said that they died in their own hands.
The sword had a spirit. It was stained with the blood of too many innocent people. Its resentment did not dissipate and turned into a monstrous evil aura.
This caused the sword to be unable to be controlled by ordinary people. If one forcefully held it, the evil aura would gradually corrode one's mind. One's personality would become distorted and one would become cruel and murderous. As time passed, one would lose the trust of others. It would be strange if the people around him did not rebel against him.
Such a murderous sword, even if it was a strong person in the Holy Martial Arts Realm, if he did not have extraordinary willpower, he would also be gradually corroded and lose his nature.
However, he realized that although Ying was young and her cultivation was not high, she did not have the slightest sign of being corroded by the evil aura. Instead, she was extremely compatible with the sword.
What did this mean? It meant that this woman was a natural sword embryo. This was the only way to explain why the sword approved of her.
Thinking of this, Ding Ning looked at Ying with envy and pity.
A natural sword embryo had a terrifying talent for learning the sword.
Others would need to practice for a few years or even more than a decade to have a small success in the sword technique. However, a natural sword embryo could learn it immediately. As long as she familiarized herself with it, it would be as if she had learned it for decades. She could use it to perfection. Her talent for the sword was absolutely unparalleled.
For such a person, even if her cultivation was low, as long as she had a sword in her hand, she could easily kill a strong person who was a realm higher than her. How could Ding Ning not be envious of her?
However, one should not think that being a natural sword embryo was absolutely a good thing. The word embryo was enough to explain everything.
