Martial Saint through Reading

Fourth-tier evil spirit, sufficient to devour those in the Meridian Unlocking Realm.

Once emerged, it’s a disaster-level threat to the county city.

Whew whew——

The Black Gold Double Rainbow took the lead and broke through the air.

Clang clang clang——

Primordial Artifact collided with the Buddha statue, sparking bursts of fire.

The Buddha statue, unexpectedly strong.

The sharpness of the Primordial Artifact was enough to break the defense of Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm martial artists, yet it couldn’t harm the stone-carved Buddha statue at the moment.

”Old Meng...”

From behind, Jiang Zhan watched, even more tense.

He had just witnessed clearly how formidable those two sword blades were.

The people of the Blood Evil Sect, exuding terrifying Evil Qi, were killed without injury by those two sword blades, but when hit on the statue, it only left a mark?

”Don’t panic, trust Chu Royal Attendant.”

Meng Zhen said this, his hands secretly gripping his weapon, ready to act at the first sign of trouble.

Chu Ming slightly furrowed his brow, raising his right hand.

Swish swish swish!

Five star rings shot out.

Boom boom boom——

Instantly, the Buddha statue’s shattered body exploded violently, and debris flew out amidst the shockwave.

Chu Ming didn’t pause, his left hand followed with five large star rings, while his right hand simultaneously condensed new star rings.

The Ten Extremes Star Ring, fused from two primordial techniques, each ring had a terrifying power.

The statue had just awakened, its movements sluggish, and under repeated bombardment, its already shattered body became even more broken.

”I... am incomplete...”

In the end, the Buddha statue emitted a piercing sound, then fell silent.

Chu Ming stopped releasing the Ten Extremes Star Ring, the Sword Gourd Spirit could no longer sense the presence of evil spirit aura.

As the dust settled, the Buddha statue on the temple’s altar was blown away to ashes, leaving a peculiar gray stone block about the size of three to five bowls on the pedestal.

The gray stone block was the target of his strike to kill the evil spirit - Primordial Artifact Material.

He picked up the stone block, weighing it in his hand, his eyes shimmering with brilliance.

Such a large piece of Primordial Artifact Material could be used for more than just crafting short swords and blades.

”Is the evil spirit exterminated?” Jiang Zhan asked hesitantly.

”Should be... exterminated... right?” Meng Zhen wasn’t too sure either, ”I can’t sense that chilling aura anymore.”

”Exterminated.” Chu Ming lightly waved his sleeve, putting away the large piece of Primordial Artifact Material, and turned to say, ”Commander Jiang, Commander Meng, let’s go.”

”Just leave?” Jiang Zhan looked at Chu Ming, his smile seemingly uncontrollable, ”Why not wait a bit, let me search for treasures?”

”What treasures?” Meng Zhen asked curiously.

”These, those, and those, aren’t they?” Jiang Zhan pointed to the corpses of Blood Evil Sect members scattered all over, ”Spoils of war, I saw quite a few in the Refining Organ Realm, surely they have treasures on them.”

”...” Meng Zhen was stunned, then laughed and said, ”Didn’t Commander Jiang say this was a trap, no treasures?”

”For the weak, it’s a deadly trap, but following my Senior Brother Chu, treasures are in plain sight.”

”...”

Senior Brother Chu?

”Commander Jiang, you’re the commander of the Eighth Tiger Camp in the Tiger Armor Army, what treasure can’t you get within our army?”

”Army treasures are army treasures, they require battle merits to exchange, but here treasures can be picked up freely.”

Saying this, Jiang Zhan had already gone to search.

”Before climbing the mountain, you didn’t say this.”

”What did I say?” Jiang Zhan fished out a gold ingot from a Blood Evil Sect member in the Refining Organ Realm, grinning broadly.

”You said to broaden Chu Ming’s experience...”

”...”

...

Half a day later.

Xirong County, outskirts in a dense forest.

Two figures stood facing each other.

”Hundred Strategies Envoy, the ambush failed.” The Blood Evil Sect Young Master Yaan Qu’s face didn’t look good.

Baili Xinghua’s face was gloomy: ”Three Meridian Unlocking Lang Sha, a Bloodthirsty Guard, is the mysterious expert behind Chu Ming a Late Stage Lower Realm?!”

”No,” Yaan Qu shook his head, ”not just Late Stage Lower Realm, Chu Ming also has a Primordial Qi Warrior behind him, at least a Primordial Qi Lake Realm late stage warrior.”

”Young Master?!” Baili Xinghua abruptly looked up.

”Do you know why I arranged the ambush at Thousand Mile Mountain? Because there’s a fourth-tier evil spirit there.”

”Fourth-tier evil spirit!”

”Yes, Lang Sha died, the Bloodthirsty Guard was destroyed, that fourth-tier evil spirit was also exterminated, and I lost the Primordial Artifact Material I nurtured for over ten years.” Yaan Qu spoke more and more sinisterly.

”Young Master, this person’s grievance with our Blood Evil Sect is so great, he cannot remain!”

”I understand.” Yaan Qu looked at Baili Xinghua, ”But, the experts of Xirong County and Peace and Middle County can’t be moved again.”

”Otherwise, even if I obtain the treasure suppressed by the Astronomical Bureau’s Black Tower, it will be very difficult for us to seize Xirong County.”

”Young Master...” Baili Xinghua listened and immediately became anxious.

”This person has already left Pingzhong County and arrived in Chi’an County, where I have no jurisdiction.” Yaan Qu lowered his eyes, ”I’ve already reported to my father, we’ll wait for orders on what to do next.”

”Hundred Strategies Envoy, you need to consider how to explain to my father after losing so many Meridian Unlocking Realm experts.”

”...” Baili Xinghua clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth, ”Thank you, Young Master, for the reminder.”

”Hmm.” Yaan Qu nodded slightly, ”Hundred Strategies Envoy, I know your anger and hatred, but you must understand, as long as I obtain that treasure, and unexpectedly extinguish the Meridian Unlocking Realm from the Astronomical Bureau sitting in the two counties, what hatred cannot be resolved?”

”I understand, my Lord.” Baili Xinghua lowered his head.

”Then go.”

”...”

The two figures left the dense forest one after the other.

...

Xirong County, a certain residence.

Five people wearing Ink Robes from the Regent’s Mansion were sitting inside.

Suddenly, a figure hurriedly came in from outside.

”Lord Liu, Baili Xinghua went to the southern forest in the city today.” The Inspector Hu Han, responsible for monitoring Baili Xinghua, reported.

”What did he do there? Who did he meet?”

Sitting in the chief seat, the Supervision Office Supervisor Liu Bingmu asked in a deep voice.

”My Lord...” Hu Han hesitated.

”What’s the matter?”

”I didn’t dare go in,” Hu Han bowed and cupped his hands, ”I probed with a secret technique and sensed a terrifying presence in the forest.”

”Did you ascertain the level of power?”
