Chapter 1039 - 530: Sword Light Attack of the Advanced Supreme Treasure

Yang Fan heard the Mermaid’s compliment, "Your intuition is very sharp," and simply smiled, "When I first saw the manor, I had an uncomfortable feeling, but I couldn’t tell why."

He knew fully well that having activated so many superpowers and mastered five Primordial Star Formations, his soul had become quite special, thus showing extraordinary acuteness.

Miss Jana nodded gently, "Any anomaly sensed by a Superpower User could very well be the soul being touched by an external force. Your caution and prudence are very appropriate."

Yang Fan thought about the "heavy footsteps" mentioned by the middle-aged woman and pondered.

His intuition immediately connected to the missing part of the high-level Supreme Treasure— the full suit of armor.

The full suit of armor was made of metal and typically weighs between 25 to 30 kilograms, so naturally, its footsteps wouldn’t be quiet.

However, the problem is that Supreme Treasures are derivatives of the Primordial Law, and even high-level Supreme Treasures cannot move on their own.

Therefore, there can only be one answer—someone wearing the full suit of armor is pacing in Sir Grant’s bedroom.

Who could this person be?

Thoughts flooded Yang Fan’s mind: "Although the high-level Supreme Treasure is a set, it cannot be activated by different people. Since I have acquired the Dragon Abyss Shield, no one else can activate the full suit of armor.

"Therefore, the person wearing the full suit of armor is no different from wearing ordinary armor; something bizarre must have happened to him, causing him to appear in Sir Grant’s bedroom in the middle of the night, which eventually led to the Sir’s mysterious disappearance.

"From my previous investigation, Sir Affleck disappeared a few days before Sir Grant, and afterward, the latter started hearing heavy footsteps.

"Following this timeline, could it be that after Sir Affleck disappeared, he somehow put on the full suit of armor and took Sir Grant away?"

The connection between the two Sirs because of the full suit of armor is logically entirely possible.

Yang Fan’s eyes flickered with realization as more thoughts occurred to him, "It seems the full suit of armor has undergone an unexpected change; it might no longer be lifeless.

"From its behavior, it feels less like Sir Affleck found Sir Grant and more like the full suit of armor found both Sirs one after another and took them away."

At this moment,

Miss Jana interrupted his thoughts, asking, "What should we do now?"

Yang Fan stood on the rooftop of a six-story building, overlooking the dark and distant manor, and spoke softly, "We can’t enter the manor. I suspect there’s a trap inside aimed at me."

Due to Sir Grant’s strange disappearance, the manor had been temporarily closed, with no one residing in it, leaving it in total darkness.

He hazily formed a guess in his mind, though it was so astonishing that even he found it hard to believe.

Miss Jana blinked her beautiful eyes, "A trap aimed at you?"

Guessing the reason in her heart, the Mermaid proposed, "Then let’s destroy the manor?"

Yang Fan thought for a moment and nodded, "That’s one way!"

If his guess is right, he knows an unavoidable battle awaits him.

The manor is a battlefield advantageous to the opponent, so naturally, it must be destroyed, and a more favorable setting chosen.

Yang Fan moved his right hand, took out a special communicator, and said slowly, "I am Mr. Ghost. I request Lingxiao Hall to carry out an aerial strike mission on a location within the Lan shi Kingdom."

A robust voice immediately answered, "Mr. Ghost, please provide your command!"

In the period that followed, a series of events took place.

Thirty seconds later.

The Great Xia’s foreign affairs department urgently contacted the Lan shi Kingdom, stating that a very dangerous mutated creature had been discovered in Berkshire.

Considering that there are many Great Xia people in the Lan shi Kingdom currently, to protect its citizens, Great Xia would deploy Lingxiao Hall’s space-based strike weapon to perform an emergency strike on the target area.

The Lan shi people seemed hesitant, requesting detailed information about the mutated creature.

Great Xia bluntly refused, firmly stating that it is a mission that must be executed, as Great Xia does not trust the Lan shi Kingdom’s capability to protect Great Xia’s people.

The Lan shi people felt awkward listening to this and submitted once more.

Even, though the strike was on their own land, the Lan shi Kingdom didn’t dare to utter a "no" lightly.

However, they had knelt before Great Xia numerous times and seemed to have grown accustomed to it.

One minute later.

In the vast cosmos, five Lingxiao Towers reached their designated positions and adjusted their tower postures.

Over 200 Golden Cudgel gravity strike weapons were rapidly deployed, descending in batches towards Canglan Star below.

Fifteen minutes later.

Yang Fan looked up to see streaks of crimson fire descending from the sky at over thirty times the speed of sound, striking the manor and surrounding areas.

The gravity anchor engines within the Golden Cudgels instantaneously unleashed terrifying power.

"Boom! Boom!"

A series of muffled thunder rolled through the surroundings in an instant.

In almost an instant, the entire manor "sank" into the ground, and everything within was crushed into powder.

Centered on the manor, a radius of two hundred meters averaged a "sink" of more than ten meters, reaching a maximum of twenty meters in places.

The vibrations from the rapid ground collapse quickly spread throughout the entire Berkshire.

The astonishing disappearance of the manor was immediately captured by a drone’s camera, with electromagnetic signals transmitting the feed to the Lan shi Kingdom’s National Defense Center.
