Chapter 1040 - 530: Sword Light Attack of the Advanced Supreme Treasure (2)

This drone is also an imported product from Great Xia. Not only does its endurance exceed one week, it also comes with visual stealth, ultra‑high‑definition night vision, powerful infrared scanning, smart target tracking, and a whole series of badass functions.

The Lan shi military is extremely satisfied with it. Even though the price is quite high—over 10 million Xia Yuan per unit—the Lan shi People still went ahead and bought as many as 1,500 in one shot.

Anyway, the Kingdom’s coal reserves are very rich. In the past two years they’ve discovered quite a few mutated coal mines, and the Kingdom has mastered the refining technology for the Supernatural Power materials in them, earning a lot of money by exporting First level Exotic Material.

Right at this moment.

Several Lan shi senior officers stared at the terrifying effect of the gravity strike weapon on the big screen, all of them so shocked they couldn’t say a word.

Even though they had all heard of the "Golden Cudgel" by name, seeing with their own eyes a powerful Martial Force that can strike any position on the globe within a quarter of an hour still left them thoroughly stunned.

A second passed.

A lieutenant colonel muttered angrily, "This is the Lan shi Kingdom, the Great xia People are going too far!"

Although the foreign affairs department had agreed to Great Xia’s request, that didn’t mean the Lan shi military had no objections.

A general beside him sighed. "Complaining like this is pointless. The national power of Great Xia alone is stronger than all the other countries combined. They have the ability to do whatever they want."

All the officers fell silent.

Compared to ordinary people, they understood even better that "having the biggest fist is the only hard truth."

*

At the same time.

Berk County.

The strike from the powerful Supernatural Power successfully achieved the goal of "startling the snake by beating the grass."

After all, the "grass" was gone; how could the "snake" still keep hiding?

Yang Fan’s eyes suddenly widened, his face full of shock.

Although he vaguely had his suspicions, when reality really played out exactly as he’d anticipated, he was still fiercely shaken.

Bond!

It was actually Bond!

It was actually Bond, the one who had been the first to obtain the War Horse Shield, and then was forcibly killed and stripped of his treasure by him!

At this moment.

Yang Fan stared at a gleaming full‑body Armor breaking out of the ground from the area where the manor used to be.

Relying on his extremely keen sense, he instantly detected a wisp of familiar aura hidden inside the full‑body Armor.

He naturally put it all together. "Back then, to seize the War Horse Shield, I used the Qing yang Book Secret Technique, Soul Flame, to refine Bond’s soul into Soul Essence.

"Most likely, when Bond was on the verge of death, he somehow miraculously triggered the resonance of the Supreme Treasure set. A Law channel was established between the War Horse Shield and the full‑body Armor.

"A portion of Bond’s soul passed through the Law channel and entered the full‑body Armor, and this high‑grade Supreme Treasure is a defensive Supreme Treasure, so there’s a high chance it just happens to have the effect of protecting the soul.

"Even if the flesh is completely destroyed, the full‑body Armor can still shelter the soul and keep it from perishing, which is how Bond survived.

"The full‑body Armor should have another property: it can be controlled in the form of a soul. That’s why Bond can move it around autonomously.

"Bond has probably long since anticipated that I would come knocking sooner or later, and those two lords were the only clues. I would definitely try to track them down.

"So Bond quietly killed the two lords, deliberately disguising it as a bizarre incident, then set up a trap in the manor, waiting for me to smash into it head‑first."

Yang Fan really hadn’t expected that after crossing paths with Bond once before, today he’d actually have to go another round.

"Clang~"

With a metallic sound.

The full‑body Armor actually drew a Heavy Sword and flew through the air towards this side. Clearly, Bond had spotted him too.

Just by looking at the Armor, Yang Fan could sense the boundless hatred radiating from within.

He instantly corrected his previous judgment. "Looks like this high‑grade Supreme Treasure doesn’t just have super‑strong defense; it should also have a certain level of offensive power."

Facing an enemy whose defense was outrageously strong and whose offense didn’t seem weak either, Yang Fan had absolutely no intention of fighting him, because that would just be a waste of effort.

He decisively tore open space and crossed two kilometers in a single step.

This distance wasn’t too far, just within the range the opponent could barely reach.

On the other side.

Bond, controlling the full‑body Armor, stood in mid‑air on a ten‑meter‑high slab, suddenly raising the Heavy Sword.

"Clang!"

The Heavy Sword rang again, this time with rage mixed into the sound.

The guy let out a roar, gripped the sword with both hands, and slashed toward Yang Fan’s direction.

"Whoo!"

With a shrill whistle that tore through the air.

A sword light visible to the naked eye suddenly burst from the Heavy Sword and slashed rapidly toward Yang Fan.

"Boom!"

Wherever that sword light passed, it caused a tremendous commotion.

One makeshift shelter after another on the ground was instantly blown apart, while walls and pavement crawled with dense, spider‑web‑like cracks.

The Lan shi People living inside were like being subjected to death by a thousand cuts; in an instant hundreds of blade marks appeared on their skin, and they sprayed blood all over as they died.

Because of the dense population in the refugee zone, this single strike killed at least 500 people, all of them dying in truly miserable ways.

Yang Fan glanced at the dead, first shocked in his heart, then secretly pleased.

What shocked him was that the offensive power of this high‑grade Supreme Treasure was even more terrifying than he’d expected.

What pleased him was that he had been a bit headache‑ridden about how to deal with the full‑body Armor, and now he’d suddenly thought of a way.

But this wasn’t the moment to act.

To be safe, it was best to first burn off some of Bond’s Soul Power, while also observing the full‑body Armor’s capabilities.

Besides, Great Xia had just informed the Lan shi People that a terrifying monster had appeared in Berk County.

If he didn’t let Bond run wild and wreak havoc for a while, how would the Lan shi People ever believe it?

A minute passed.

Six deep sword marks appeared on the ground, each one at least one kilometer long.

The death toll climbed to over 2,000.

This wasn’t because Yang Fan was deliberately being vicious, dragging Bond around to swing his sword in crowded areas.

Rather, first, this city had taken in a huge influx of refugees, so refugee shacks were scattered in every corner of the city.

Second, Bond was a bastard down to his bones; now that he’d become like this, he seemed to have grown even more vicious and bloodthirsty.

Every time this guy swung his sword, he deliberately chose areas packed with people, and that was why the casualties were so catastrophic.

The noise from his sword swings triggered panic across the entire city; countless Lan shi People fled their homes, trying to escape to the more distant suburbs.

Yang Fan Instant Teleportationed once more, and suddenly received a message from Great Xia: "Mr. Ghost, the Lan shi military can’t sit still anymore. They’re requesting permission to participate in attacking the monster."

He thought for a moment and didn’t object. "Let the Lan shi People join in."

Since the Lan shi military was willing to spend their soldiers’ lives to burn through Bond’s Soul Power, he was more than happy to see it happen.

Very soon.

Several fifth‑generation fighter jets—these were fully stealth fighters jointly developed by the Southern Cross Alliance—roared into view over the city.
