Whoosh!
With a swing of 'Zhu Xian', a crimson sword shadow flashed and vanished in an instant.
Sword Twenty-Three, annihilating heaven and earth!
The crimson light erupted, its speed even exceeding light speed, leaving even planet-level powerhouses unable to react.
"What is this?!"
The crimson light instantly consumed Li Yao's vision, and before his mind could even process it, he was swallowed by the fleeting radiance.
Boom!
Under the crushing force, the terrifying sword intent of 'Zhu Xian' directly tore through Li Yao's Black God Suit. Li Yao's entire body was ripped apart, his flesh and blood scattering through the air.
Whoosh!
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Black God Suit healed itself, leaving only an empty battle suit suspended in mid-air.
Then.
Jiang Li sheathed his sword and raised his hand, tossing Li Yao's Black God Suit to Wang Tong without a second thought. The latter just stared blankly, receiving the suit with a stiff expression.
No one anticipated that what was expected to be a major battle would conclude in a matter of seconds!
Moreover, Li Yao, a being who surpassed the War God level, couldn't even withstand a single strike from Jiang Li?!
"My God!"
Carol West couldn't help but shudder, his features contorted in shock.
If Far hadn't been so wise, he was certain his fate wouldn't have been much better than Li Yao's. Perhaps only half a corpse would have remained?
"To think he's so strong, even tearing the Black God Suit?"
Councillor Far was also startled, his voice barely a whisper.
"May the ancestors bless us, Hanxia has produced another super-powerful individual!"
"Hahaha, how exhilarating, how exhilarating!"
Jia Yi and Councillor Deng, while still shocked, wore expressions of pure joy.
Regardless of which faction Jiang Li belonged to, his identity as a Hanxia person was undeniable.
Jiang Li's base strength was already at the planetary realm, level three. Even with just the explosion of his body's force, he reached a thousand tons of power. Furthermore, with his comet-like attack, the force was nearly twenty thousand tons. Forget about Li Yao, even the world's number one, Hong, might not be able to withstand it.
"Inspector Jiang, I apologize for any previous offenses!"
Carol West bowed slightly, repeatedly offering his apologies.
"Shall we discuss joining forces to explore the world at the bottom of the lake?"
Far gave an awkward chuckle, his heart skipping a beat. He was relieved about his earlier wise decision.
"Alright."
Jiang Li nodded slightly.
Inside a large passenger plane at the HR Alliance's headquarters.
"This is Inspector Amuhan, from the Thunder God Martial Arts School."
Far had extended an invitation to the forces stationed on the Australian continent. Besides Jiang Li, Jia Yi, and the others, there were seven councillors present.
"Haha, Inspector Jiang, I've heard a lot about you!"
Amuhan grinned, giving Jiang Li a knowing look, and greeted him in broken Hanxia Country language.
When Li Yao attacked earlier, he happened to be submerged, investigating the lake, so he didn't appear.
Judging by his expression, it was clear he knew about Jiang Li's relationship with Thunder God.
"Hello, Inspector Jiang. My name is Mika, and I'm from Eagle Country."
A white woman bowed slightly. Even though she was a councillor from Eagle Country, she was extremely respectful to Jiang Li at this moment.
Having instantly killed a councillor wearing the Black God Suit, no one present dared to think they could stand against Jiang Li.
After a brief introduction, everyone sat down around a conference table.
"I believe you've all discovered the danger in the lake. Councillor Jia proposed that we join forces to explore the underwater world."
Far glanced over Amuhan and then looked at Mika, saying, "The HR Alliance and Limit Martial Arts School both agree with Hanxia Country's proposal."
"I have no objections."
Amuhan nodded, "Around sixteen hundred meters, there are two king-level monsters. One of them should be a mid-level king-level Earth Dragon. At least, I'm not a match for it!"
"Sixteen hundred meters?"
"Mid-level king-level?"
Amuhan's words caused the other councillors' expressions to shift.
They all had detectors for the ancient civilization ruins, and the energy readings at sixteen hundred meters were already quite bright, but just bright! If sixteen hundred meters meant a mid-level king-level monster, then further down, it was highly likely to be an emperor-level monster!
"I'm sorry, everyone."
Mika spoke up, declining, "My strength is limited, so I won't participate."
"The various major powers' outposts are monitoring the surrounding area. Jiang Li's single shot that killed Li Yao was simply terrifying…"
"I guess Mika is afraid Jiang Li will go down into the lake world and break the agreement."
Watching Mika bid farewell and leave, Jia Yi couldn't help but think.
Going back to before the Great Nirvana, the relationship between Eagle Country and Hanxia Country wasn't very good.
"He's judging a gentleman with the heart of a petty man."
Councillor Deng sneered, "Since Eagle Country has withdrawn, how about the four of us join forces?"
"Good!"
"No objections here."
Amuhan, Far, and Carol West responded in unison.
"Alright, everyone, get ready. We depart in two hours!"
Just as Jia Yi had predicted.
Various forces had already set up monitoring equipment, and everything that happened around Fog Island was immediately relayed to the high-level officials of each faction.
As for Limit Martial Arts School, Jiang Li was the highest-ranking official in the Australian continent. Since he hadn't given the go-ahead, Jiang Fang naturally didn't upload the relevant video.
Even so, with the advanced network, Limit Martial Arts School soon received the news.
"Director!"
Vladimir, who was on patrol around the globe, contacted Hong first: "Li Yao broke through to become a being beyond a War God and went to the Australian continent to cause trouble for Inspector Jiang, and was killed!"
"Not surprising."
"Send over the relevant video."
Hong wasn't surprised. From the moment he gave Jiang Li 'Zhu Xian', Hong believed that few councillors could stand against him.
"Yes, Master."
After receiving the video and watching it, Hong was silent for a moment. After a long while, he sighed, "Jiang Li, he's a bit unfathomable."
He had also killed councillors wearing the Black God Suit, and it was also a one-hit kill!
Even Thunder God could do the same.
But they were a planetary level six and a planetary level seven respectively, with a significant difference in their cultivation levels.
And what about Jiang Li?
He was only a Rank 3 planetary level, and he had just broken through to the planetary level.
If he were to continue breaking through, then…
In an ancient building in the European region.
Clatter.
The sound of a teacup shattering suddenly echoed. Even someone as powerful as Yan Hai, who was beyond the War God level and usually composed, couldn't help but tremble.
What was in front of him was the scene of Jiang Li killing Li Yao.
"Li Yao was actually torn to pieces under the Black God Suit?"
"And, just one sword!!!"
Yan Hai's face was ashen, and he didn't know what to do.
Inside the Polynas Family's pointed-roofed meeting hall.
The five elders, who represented the core of the Polynas Family's highest authority, all looked ashen.
When the enemy was only slightly stronger, the family's deep foundation might not be afraid.
But when the enemy was like a towering mountain, even if they were aggrieved, they could only bow their heads and admit defeat.
"My sister, Vinina, is a descendant of your lineage; give the order yourself."
The silver-haired old man, leaning on a cane, sighed, "Make her disappear forever."
They didn't dare gamble that Vinina wouldn't go crazy and seek revenge on Jiang Li again.
Similarly, they couldn't withstand the fury of a planetary-level powerhouse...
The best solution was to make the problem disappear.
Hongning Base City, Elite Training Camp.
Yang Hui, who had been running around for Jiang Li, was cursing. He had been exhausted these past few days.
The SS-Rank Blood Shadow Sword was indeed a good item, but the better it was, the harder it was to sell.
On the one hand, it was difficult to negotiate the price. On the other hand, there were far fewer martial artists who used swords compared to those who used knives.
After all, the Thunder God created the Ninefold Thunderblade, not the Ninefold Thunder Sword.
Not every martial artist can truly master the art of applying force.
"Beep."
At that moment, Yang Hui's communicator lit up. "Hello, Inspector Liu."
"Ah? The martial arts school wants to reclaim the SS-Rank Blood Shadow Sword? Okay, I'll send it over immediately."
