In the air, a clump of black dots whistled past.
“Team Su, this time, the battle will be huge, if we win, our contributions will be great.” the person who spoke was a middle aged man with pale skin, he was all smiles.
“Thats right, what are the gold grade armies for, they’re useless. To drop the key at the most crucial moment, they still need us to clean up their mess.” another Bronze Saint complained unhappily.
In the center of the team, a man with an outstanding vigor flew along, his long sleeve fluttered, he laughed: “The merits will definitely not be little, I especially went to listen around before I left, if we complete this mission, it will be worth a contribution of 100 points.”
Everyone immediately cheered.
In the temple, the contribution points and spirit value points are equal, 100 points of contribution points could exchange for 100 spirit value worth of spirit treasures, spirit techniques, or other items.
Spirit value was everything to a saint.
100 points of contribution value was definitely a generous reward, such a mission by the Temple was not easily received, even if there were, it would be extremely dangerous.
The mission this time, was roughly the easiest 100 points mission in history.
43 independent saints, in the eyes of these Bronze Saints officiated by the temple, was a bunch of cannon fodder. Even Su Yi who was always cautious also felt that way. That bunch of bitter independent saints, compared to them, was like comparing a beggar and a regular army.
Independent saints trained extremely poorly, they did not have money for spirit technique cards, they did not have money for spirit treasures, they did not have money for saint grade spirit nourishments, they were extremely poor and rustic.
Saints from the temple, once they meet the requirements to become a Bronze Saint, the Temple would gift a spirit treasure with spirit value of 100 points. Just with this alone was enough to make those poor souls envy till they’re green in the eyes.
In addition, the Temple provides free spirit technique cards, it was so thick it could form a thick catalogue.
Every month, there would be silver saints that would specially hold sermons, to explain their comprehension of laws, and by paying some contribution points, anyone could obtain a ticket to sit in. And as long as they were slightly diligent, and take a few missions to earn their contribution points, they could buy anything in the Temple. If your contributions were enough, they could even rent a star power room, and infer to create spirit techniques.
The Temple saints who grew up from all this, compared to the independent saints, it was definitely not a small margin of difference.
The highest record amongst the Temple’s Bronze Saints, was a bronze level saint who in a battle, killed 16 Bronze Independent Saints. This specific example was naturally not a normal phenomenon, but a Bronze Saint from the Temple, to fight against three to five independent saints, that was a normal occurrence.
Furthermore, the one leading the group was Su Yi.
Su Yi’s spirit value had already reached 446 points, his fighting capabilities were over the top, he had repeatedly defeated saints who had higher spirit value than him. In addition he had a good temper, his interpersonal skills were very good too, among the Temple’s Bronze Saints, he had a good reputation. The Temple particularly cared about this mission, hence they deployed Su Yi.
“The earlier we complete this, the faster we can head back! Next week is Master Qin Li’s rites, it would be pity to miss it!” a saint said.
“I am not sure when Master Qin Li will be able to attempt to become a Gold Saint. Master Qin Li was hailed as the person with the highest probability of rushing into the Gold Saints!”
“Bullshit! Master Lan Dong Yi is the most probable, Master Dong Yi’s comprehension of laws has already surpassed the level of the Silver Saints!”
“Then from what you said, Master Dong Yi should already be a Gold Saint!”
……
People continued to joined in the debate, they were obviously interested in the issue.
Su Yi shook his head and laughed, but did not stop it, he was carefully thinking about the mission. Him doing that was completely because of habit, no matter what kind of battle he would face, he never underestimated the enemy. For an enemy to be able to alert the Temple, that displayed the strength they had.
However, the strength of the Gold Grade Armies were truly terrible.
It seemed as though the armies were not suitable for the Martial Group. The Martial Group did not have the system to groom out military leaders, and having such results was not surprising to Su Yi. However, it is always better to experience failure earlier, before others have an unrealistic hallucination.
To the Martial Group, The Temple was enough.
Su Yi believed in that without a doubt.
He was determined to complete the mission beautifully, he wanted to make the entire Heavens Road worship and shiver in front of the Temple. For a bunch of independent saints to dare become enemies of the Temple, and the recent quickly rising tyrant, to dare challenge the authority of the Temple, that was truly a joke. Only blood would make them wake up, to let them realize that they were undertaking a stupid mistake.
Suddenly, his Honorable Saint Plate shook.
“Stop!”
Su Yi shouted, he steadied his figure and with a thought, a light screen shot out in front of him, and a stern old man appeared on the light screen.
“Elder He!”
Everyone’s hearts froze, they each bowed in respect.
Elder He’s face did not smoothen, his face was gloomy: “The Light blade Army has betrayed us, Commander Ye Shou Xin, Deputy Commander Zhang Mo Lei, have already triggered the Trial of Light.”
The expression of Su Yi and the rest changed, betrayal rarely happened in the Honorable Martial Group, and for an entire army to turncoat, had never happened before.
“Your mission has changed, other than the previous mission, you are required to wipe out the entire Light Blade Army, and not spare anyone! As for Ye Shou Xin and Mo Lei, bring them back to the martial group, who will be confined for their guilt at the main hall to be publicly exposed. We’ll let them howl in anguish continually around the clock, to warn those martial artist who are becoming corrupted day by day!”
Elder He’s face was filled with killing intent.
Everyone’s hearts were trembled, they shouted: “Yes!”
“50 contribution points added to the mission.”
Elder he coldly added the last sentence, then he broke communication.
The contribution points that were added separately, did not let them feel happy, as everyone’s expression turned bad. They knew that the betrayal was extremely serious.
“Hmph, as expected, armies cannot be relied on!” a saint said coldly.
“Stop bullshitting, we will pick up the speed!” Su Yi’s face was gloomy without any smile, his whole body releasing a terrifying killing intent.
Betrayal!
Such a humiliating word, to actually be related to the Honorable Martial Group, and coming from an army with high hopes pinned on them, this would greatly impact the prestige of the Honorable martial group.
Not a single one of you can escape!
Su Yi’s eyes became heavy.
The other saints did not have the excitement of discussing other matters, everyone became gloomy as they flew forward quickly.
After flying continuously for half a day, a member suddenly shouted: “They are ahead!”
Everyone’s spirits shook, Su Yi squinted, he shouted: “Charge!”
Everyone increased speed, just like a sharp sword, they pierced the skies.
Tang Tian and the rest were already waiting for them, Little Fool’s face was black, as he floated behind Tang Tian, he was focused on looking through the records and old books, and never expected that the fool would actually give out so many good things to the cannon fodder!
All the spirit treasures that were spoken about in the legends, which caused even Little Fool to see red, his heart was beating with pain.
Autumn Leaf Spear, Sky Wheel, Cygnus Black Glasses, Distant Triangle Starry Darts……
Every piece taken out were all legends!
To be spotted by Gui Wu, how could they be ordinary treasures? These types of treasures were actually given to a group of cannon fodder which did not even have 200 spirit value points! Furthermore, every single one of them hung more than 1 treasure, the myriad of colors of dazzling line ups, made Little Fool watch them with an indescribable anger, as though there were countless of beasts screaming in his heart.
Wasting precious treasures recklessly!
Bastard! You deserve to die!
Little Fool’s fist was white from clenching too hard, his heart filled with a dense killing intent that could not be cleared, the current Little Fool was like a bucket of gunpowder, that was dried till the limit, where even the smallest spark would make him explode.
Tang Tian did not sense Little Fool’s weirdness, his focus was on the incoming saints that were charging at them, his attention was wholeheartedly on them. He knew if there was a slight mistake in the incoming battle, it would mean a wipe out!
The light in his eyes exploded, he took in a deep breath and shouted loudly: “Kill!”
Everyone who had long prepared and ready, sprang into action.
Looking at the enemy’s reaction, Su Yi realized that the opponents had prepared for them.
Su Yi’s pupils had a cold gleam, so what if they were prepared and vigilant? With the difference in power, that so called determination, was just a beautiful joke.
Whoo!
A rain of flames shot out, each flame was about the size of a fist and was translucent.
“Let me!” a member shouted excitedly, he suddenly accelerated and charged to the front of the team.
He opened both arms, and shouted: “Red Lotus Umbrella!”
Countless Flaming tongues emerged from his body, spiralling at great speed in front of him, it became a fire red umbrella of over 30m that covered his front.
The huge umbrella, protected everyone. This was the spirit technique he trained in with a spirit value of over 120 points spirit value, a powerful technique! Rushing into the enemy’s attacks was his forte.
Supporting the Red Lotus Umbrella, the speed of them did not weaken, it brought a huge fiery red afterimage, whistling towards Tang Tian.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The rain of flames hit onto the red lotus umbrella, causing him to sneer.
But what happened after froze the smile on his face.
It was as if the rain of flames was passing through paper, in the blink of an eye, they had pierced through his red lotus umbrella, and he who was supporting the red lotus umbrella’s charge, did not expect this result, before he could react, two fireballs flew in front of him.
His expression changed, in a hurry, he activated his life saving spirit treasure, [Aurora Cover].
A dazzling energy barrier that resembled an aurora, protected him tightly.
So close!
His mind steadied, [Aurora Cover] was a defensive spirit treasure which had 160 spirit value, and was his life saving treasure. Furthermore, [Aurora Cover] had another ability, once the opponent’s spirit technique came close, it would be like a magnet, it would produce a repulsive force, rejecting all the incoming attacks.
He had already made preparations for being knocked away.
Woosh woosh!
Two fiery flames struck the Aurora Cover, but what he had never expected was that the Aurora Cover did not get knocked away, the two regiments of translucent flames stuck onto the barrier, and continued to combust.
The Aurora Cover was burning with two holes, that became bigger with frightening speed.
His chest felt a wave of pain, his expression froze on his face, he lowered his head and looked at his chest, a triangle dart was stuck in his chest, and a sharp energy, charged into his body.
This is……
The Triangle dart had flown with different beautiful arcs, these arcs had different angles, interweaving and criss crossing, every arc seemed to consist of a high quality intent, and at the front of the arc, which was also its sharpest point, had a star that was faintly discernible.
In his mind, he thought about a treasure in the legends.
Distant Triangle Starry Darts….. is indeed as sharp as it is proclaimed in the legends…..
This was his last thought, as an never ending darkness, engulfed him.
It was truly as sharp as what the legends stated!
When Little Fool saw the power of the triangle dart, his eyes twitched, as though his heart had a hole where blood was gushing out!
That is mine! Mine! Mine!
He roared quietly in his heart.
Little Fool turned, his handsome and delicate face revealed a thick killing intent.
