Chapter 27: Kill and Promotion Plan
“Ka ka!”
The azure sword qi collided with the Poisonous Ghost Centipede. The frost energy and the blue mist reacted, causing the mist to turn into small ice particles that fell sparsely onto the ground.
The Poisonous Ghost Centipede’s momentum suddenly dwindled. The sword qi seemed to have shattered the horny shell on its waist, and fine green blood splattered onto the surrounding walls, emitting wisps of white smoke.
“What happened to the promised initial stage warrior?”
It froze in mid-air and fell to the ground with a “splat.”
“How could Ah You be injured? Doesn’t it have a poisonous mist shield?”
Tendrils of surprise appeared on the young man’s face, and he froze on the spot. He hadn’t expected Su Jiu to dodge the attack so easily.
“As long as the master is killed, the beast pet will also die due to the contract.”
Su Jiu would not miss such an opportunity. Her eyes slightly narrowed, she pushed off the ground with her back foot, and charged towards the young man like a cannonball. During the charge, the dagger in her hand swung out a crescent-shaped slash.
A petite body followed by a drawn-sword strike!
Seeing Su Jiu arrive with the slash, the young man was no pushover. As Su Jiu was about to attack, a white magic array appeared in his hand.
The Poisonous Ghost Centipede, which had been dazed by the attack, seemed to receive a summons and flew into the young man’s hand with a “swoosh.” In an instant, it transformed into a dark blue longsword with thorns, with poisonous gas faintly lingering around it.
Just looking at it made one feel unwell.
The young man hastily held the sword horizontally in front of him, no longer daring to underestimate it.
“Clang!”
The sword blades collided, emitting faint sparks. The young man felt a strong force transmit through his hand, and in the next moment, he was smashed into the wall, with the surrounding walls cracking like a spiderweb.
Seeing Su Jiu’s relentless attacks, he didn’t dare to stay on the wall. Enduring the pain in his body, he flipped over and used the momentum to create distance.
Su Jiu pulled out the dagger embedded several centimeters into the wall and coldly watched the young man panting not far away.
Novels said that the Ancient God Sect committed murder and arson, doing all sorts of evil for their own benefit. Seeing it now, it was indeed true.
“You’re not some newly joined Exorcist, are you? Liu Hong, that woman, isn’t as strong as you.”
The young man stared intently at Su Jiu, as if trying to etch her face into his memory. However, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn’t recall anyone matching her description.
Wait a minute…
Looking at the dagger in Su Jiu’s hand, the young man’s mind flashed back to a video he had watched earlier that day about the Dragon Hunter known as the Frost Sword Warrior. The image of Su Jiu slowly overlapped with the Frost Sword Warrior, except for the lack of wings.
The same incredibly powerful frost slash, and the same petite figure.
Once again confirming his suspicion, the young man’s face showed that he had actually provoked the currently popular Frost Sword Warrior.
“Who I am is none of your business. You just need to become a soul under my blade.” Su Jiu repositioned herself and pursued him again.
She didn’t want to waste any more time with him. She still had to find the 500,000, and this Ancient God Cult follower should be worth some money, right?
“Heh, even if you’re from the Dragon Hunters, you’ll have to pay a price to kill me!”
A fierce glint flashed in the young man’s eyes. A layer of blue energy slowly enveloped his body, and he raised his hand, swinging the thorned sword. He was surrounded by poisonous gas.
In a flash, Su Jiu reacted immediately and stopped three meters away from the young man.
“Poisonous mist? Is it a martial skill or an effect of the beast pet?”
“Hahaha, Dragon Hunter, your slashes can’t kill me. This mist of mine is specifically prepared for those of you with powerful ranged martial skills. It can melt away all your energy.”
The young man laughed heartily and then revealed a smug expression, “If you want to make a move now, you can only get close…”
“Ugh…”
Before the young man could even finish the word “close,” he suddenly felt something stuck in his throat. He looked down and saw a feather burning with black flames stuck in his throat.
“Puchi!”
Blood splattered instantly. By the time he lost the strength to maintain the poisonous mist, he could clearly see that Su Jiu was holding three fire feathers in her hand.
“Damn it, I forgot the Frost Sword Warrior has a damn avian bloodline…”
“Heh… Heh, Dragon Hunter, I won’t die… I’ll just return…” The young man clutched his throat and stammered.
“Whoosh!”
Su Jiu pursed her lips and flicked her finger, sending another fire feather striking the young man. She had seen enough cinematic kill scenes of ancient god cultists defeated in novels.
As the young man fell, the sword in his hand transformed into a dead blue centipede.
Seeing that the danger had passed, Su Jiu went straight to the girl’s side and checked her breathing with her finger, then sighed slightly, “No breathing, truly despicable, these Ancient God Cult people.”
She gently placed the girl down and then went to the young man’s corpse, rummaging through his belongings. She set aside the phone and other items, finally finding a metal, inverted cross.
“This should be the token that proves their identity in the novels. I’ll take a photo first.”
Su Jiu placed the cross directly above the corpse, took a photo with her phone, then opened the law enforcement app, selected the “Ancient God Cult Followers” column, and clicked send.
“Beep beep!”
At this moment, the young man’s phone nearby suddenly rang. Su Jiu moved closer and saw it was Li Er calling.
Without hesitation, she answered the call. A young girl’s cry and a boy’s scolding came from the other end: “What are you shouting about! If you keep shouting, I’ll sacrifice your entire dormitory.”
As if sensing the phone was connected, the boy’s voice became cheerful and laughing. He said with a smile, “Mazi, I’ve controlled an entire dormitory this time. They told me that many of the teachers are not in school.”
Hearing this, Su Jiu’s heart ached. Was this the young man’s accomplice? Had they sneaked into Zhiyuan High School?
Seeing Su Jiu not responding, the boy named Li Er seemed to say comfortingly, “Stop thinking about that bitch Qingyue. She’s the Priest’s woman. I didn’t slack off this time, especially this woman named Luko. Her figure is really something.”
“Let me go, you bastard! I’m from the Lu family. When the time comes, I’ll have the Law Enforcement Hall level you all… Woo woo.” Luko’s voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone.
“Shut up! I’ll deal with you first.”
Hearing “Luko,” Su Jiu was slightly taken aback, then felt amused while also becoming worried about the situation in the school.
As expected, that Demonic Mole was related to the Ancient God Cult, otherwise, these people wouldn’t be appearing around here.
It was possible that the boy on the other end was the owner of the Demonic Mole.
The priority now was to rescue those students from Luko’s dormitory before going to find the Demonic Mole.
To avoid arousing suspicion from the boy, Su Jiu directly hung up the phone without saying a word.
“Ding!”
Su Jiu’s own phone received an app notification. It displayed: Confirmed target Wang Mazi, 300 merit points credited. Then, a growth bar appeared, showing the progress towards Team Leader/Silver (300/1000).
Her eyelids twitched slightly. Was this some kind of growth game? Leveling up through experience?
However, Su Jiu did not consider that someone who could defeat a high-level warrior was already qualified to climb to higher positions. Ordinary people would find it difficult to survive in front of these Ancient God Cult followers, let alone kill them.
