Chapter 658 - Shifting the Blame
Chapter 658: Shifting the Blame
After eating the True Pill, his Inner Chi had increased drastically.
In order to quickly kill the two Red Fire Tigers, he directly used his Mysticisms.
He swung the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, and another golden sword of light flared and attacked the Red Fire Tiger that had already lost one-third of its health.
This time, it only struck at the Red Fire Tiger’s waist, dealing about a hundred HP worth of damage.
The other Red Fire Tiger pounced at him.
He then struck it away using his Crushing Fist with his left fist.
“Transmute Monster!”
Next, he attacked the Red Fire Tiger with low remaining health and immediately used Transmute Monster.
Ding. Tianji System Prompt: Transmute Monster Failed!
Jiang Feng did not pay too much attention despite its failure. When the Red Fire Tiger was stunned for a moment, he immediately used the First Style of the Nameless Sword Style again.
This time, as the Red Fire Tiger was immobile, the golden sword of light immediately pierced through its head.
Ding. Tianji System Prompt. Congratulations on slaying the Black Realm Two Stars Red Fire Tiger. Evaluation A Rank. Combat Rating +5. Received 10 gold pieces.
After instantly killing the Red Fire Tiger, he then headed toward the other Red Fire Tiger.
While the Red Fire Tiger was indeed a monster at Black Realm Two Stars, its combat experience and Mysticism could not be compared with Jiang Feng’s. Its only advantage was that it had plenty of Chi.
Especially when Jiang Feng had plenty of high-level Mysticism. The Red Fire Tiger was already doomed to fail when facing Jiang Feng.
In less than three minutes, the Red Fire Tiger then died under his feet.
After transmuting the Red Fire Tigers, lights began to appear where the two Red Fire Tigers had died and formed into two separate keys, and they inserted themselves into the keyhole of the building to the left.
Creak…
The keys were turned and the building was opened.
When Jiang Feng saw that, he rushed in with anticipation.
The first room gave a powerful Mysticism, a True Pill, and 50,000 gold pieces.
He was quite excited to see what kind of treasures the second building would contain.
The second building looked similar to the first building. There was a rock in the middle of the building, and there was a sword on the rock.
The sword was glowing a green hue, and two words were carved into the rock, “Cheng Ying.”
“One of China’s Ten Famous Swords, Chengying Sword? Why is it here?!” Jiang Feng was shocked when he saw the sword.
T/L Note: I’m more surprised that aliens are basically humans and that everyone can use Chi and so many things have Chinese names, but hey, you do you.
The Great World of Tianji was a real world. He could not understand why the Chengying Sword would be in this place.
This place was Divine Sword Duxiu’s place, which meant that Chengying Sword was Divine Sword Duxiu’s weapon.
If that was the case, then his previous speculations were all wrong.
Divine Sword Duxiu was most likely a Chinese, and he brought over the Chengying Sword. That was why the Chengying Sword would exist in this place!
Chengying Sword: Supreme-Yellow Post-Creation Spiritual Treasure
Combat Rating +500
Chi Expenditure -30%
Power +50
Sharpness +50
Additional Mysticism: Phantom Slayer, Shadow Edge
Special Attribute: The sword’s attributes would change depending on the wielder.
“Seriously?! A Supreme-Yellow Post-Creation Spiritual Treasure?! And it has two mysticisms along with it! I really struck gold this time!”
Weapons were separated into four ranks. They were Treasures, Post-Creation Spiritual Treasure, Pre-Creation Spiritual Treasure, and Chaos Godly Artifacts.
These weapons were then once again graded Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow four ranks, and further separated into Lower, Middle, and Upper three ranks. As for Supreme rank, it was only used to bring attention to the fact that the weapon was already the most powerful weapon within its rank.
While it was only a Supreme-Yellow rank, it was already much more powerful than a Heaven rank Treasure.
In the entire Great World of Tianji, those who possessed a Post-Creation Spiritual Treasure could be counted using one hand.
When he thought of that, he became excited and went over to grab the Chengying Sword, and pulled it out of the stone.
Whoosh!
The moment he pulled the Chengying Sword from the rock, the sword let out a green glow, making it look very cool.
“Such a good weapon!”
While it was not as comfortable as Deicide in his hand, it was still quite usable.
Other than Chengying Sword, there was nothing else in this room. He was not going to stay within the building. He quickly rushed out and headed toward the final building.
Boom!
However, he had just made it halfway through when there was a large sound of something huge falling onto the ground as well as sounds of cheering.
“Haha! We have finally killed the python! Stanza, Lingjie… You are all so good!”
“Look! The python’s corpse is disappearing, the gate is opening!”
…
“Sh*t!”
When he heard the voices from the outside, Jiang Feng’s face turned grim and he did not head to the final building. Instead, he got behind the main door.
It was clear by now that he could not get whatever was inside the third room.
Now that he had already gained so many benefits, once the other players had entered and noticed that he was already inside, then, they would not let him leave.
Since he had opened the doors to two buildings, all the treasures were inside his backpack.
As long as they could kill him, he would then drop his backpack.
“Huff… I hope I can get out of this alive. Otherwise, I am definitely going to die here!”
He hid behind the main door as his breathing became shallower.
There were several top 100 elites from the Tianji Leaderboard outside. They could even kill the Black Realm Nine Stars Python, dealing with him would be child’s play.
Creak…
The door was slowly being pushed open.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Next, figures jumped in from the main gate and directly rushed to the third room.
“What happened?! Two of the buildings have already been opened? Can it be that the sounds earlier were really from people fighting inside?!” Stanza was a man with the head of a tiger. He held a Greatsword, and looked at the building in the middle with a pale face.
His words had shifted all the players’ attention to the building in the middle.
It was at this time, Jiang Feng mixed into the players to muddy the waters.
Once he was part of the players, he roared out angrily and said, “Sh*t! After fighting so hard and so many of our brethren died, we thought we could at least get some treasures out of it. But in the end, someone took it all away first! Who the hell did this?!”
After he said that, he pressed on where he was struck by the Blue Ice Wolf’s attack and let out an expression of pain.
The man beside him looked at Jiang Feng being in pain, and then looked at the fresh blood on his abdomen, then turned to look at his own severed tail, and then he roared out angrily, “Who the hell took the treasures?! Damn it, if I find out who took the treasures, I will kill him to the point where his parents wouldn’t even know who he is!”
“Oh, right. Friend, who is the one that told us about the location of the treasure?” Jiang Feng then asked the man next to him in confusion.
When the man with the severed tail heard what Jiang Feng said, he suddenly had a realization, “The location of this treasure was revealed by Chuge! Can it be? Chuge? He had us fight the two powerful monsters from the outside while he came in from another passage, killed the monsters that guarded the room, and stole the treasure?!”
The man with the severed tail yelled it out loud, and he instantly attracted all the players’ attention.
Stanza and Lingji, the two elites from the Tianji Leaderboard, instantly became incensed. They knew that they might have been deceived!
Lingjie was ranked 59 on the Tianji leaderboard, but he had a good friend at rank 18. He was not afraid of Chuge, and he immediately roared out angrily, “Damn it, we fought so hard but, in the end, it was all for someone else! There is still one building that remains unopened, which means that Chuge didn’t have the time to unlock the final building when we came in. Then he must still be here… He must be. Find him! We have to find out where he is!”
When he heard Lingjie’s words, Jiang Feng smiled to himself and let out a sigh of relief.
Luckily, he was smart enough to hide behind the door and when all the players rushed in, he mixed into the crowd and shifted the blame to Chuge.
That way, no one would suspect that it was him!
