Su Qiangwei raised her head, feeling a bit of stiffness in her neck.
She had to admit that she was completely shocked by that sword aura spanning the sky!
The Sword Sectâs First Rank, Lin Qiubai, sword-split Demon Mountain in Earthâs Lotus City!
The scene that just occurred, even though Su Qiangwei might not mention it to others, she would never forget in her lifetime.
Watching the grey fog swirling upwards in the sky, she couldnât help but exclaim.
"Just this?"
"Ah... this, I really canât do it!"
"The Sword Master and others, are not on the same level at all!"
"Itâs simply excessively strong!"
Amidst Su Qiangweiâs exclamations, Lin Qiubai and Wan Haihao slowly descended from the sky.
A breeze blew by, the Sword Masterâs purple hair swayed with the wind, and a faint light shimmered in his blood-colored eyes.
Although he had never had a physical form, his silhouette was very clear.
Now...
Lin Qiubai began to gradually become transparent.
Wan Haihao landed on the ground, feeling all his muscles severely strained, his body completely disobedient.
His gaze focused on Lin Qiubai, opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didnât know where to begin.
He could clearly feel that the previously invisible and intangible bond was gradually disappearing.
"Sword Master..."
Lin Qiubai interrupted Wan Haihaoâs speech: "You did well, trash."
This proud Sword Master, his expression cold as usual, yet his words carried some relief.
"Earlier, you helped me disperse some backlash."
"In this way..."
"Before completely disappearing, I can do a few more things."
Speaking, Lin Qiubai held his fingers together like a sword, gently slicing beside him.
A pitch-black sphere appeared before everyoneâs eyes.
To describe it as a "sphere" is actually inaccurate.
In fact, it is a flat circle.
However, the space around it seemed completely twisted and folded, absorbing all light, giving the impression of a spherical body.
"How can it be?"
"Just one sword strike!"
"The command room and power cabin are all blown!"
A somewhat sharp voice sounded not far away.
A humanoid life form wearing a white helmet and covered protective clothing struggled to stand from the wreckage.
It was X9500.
At this moment, the conqueror of the Eternal Civilization known as the "Extremely Effective Monarch" looked extremely embarrassed.
Behind him, a pair of snow-white wings, now only one remained, like a broken-winged angel.
Although X9500 wasnât the main target of that blue sword aura, just affected by its leftover power, his Invisible Shield Card and Flying Card were thoroughly damaged, declared useless.
Repairing was out of the question, even the value of recycling and reuse was nil.
After shouting those few words uncontrollably, X9500 quickly regained his composure.
He knew that this time, he might face a setback.
"The Thought Essence collected from ordinary low-level civilization natives, its side effect is indeed quite significant."
"Hadnât noticed before because was just crushing games all the time?"
"Meeting a truly strong opponent, the flaws immediately exposed themselves!"
X9500 pondered silently.
Whoosh!
A pale blue sword aura slashed towards.
With a slight sound, X9500 was cut into two, the suspected blood-like purple-black liquid flowed all over the ground.
In the distance, Lin Qiubai slowly folded together his raised index and middle fingers.
Clearly, it was him who delivered the fatal blow to X9500.
"Pain! Pain! Pain! Pain! Pain!"
X9500âs half-body rolled on the ground, screaming hoarsely.
After crying out for a while, X9500 seemed to adapt to this pain, his voice now extremely hoarse, even his tone twisted: "I was careless!"
"Pain blocking accessory, still necessary to carry!"
The intense pain made X9500 unable to maintain rationality, revealing much effective information in his self-talk.
X9500 knew he was going to die soon.
The previously prepared Conquest Card, used to deal with the not yet matured Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei, even the debut peak "God", was more than sufficient.
But to compete with Sword Master Lin Qiubai?
Clearly insufficient!
Although there were still seven or eight good cards unused, X9500 had no intention of bringing them out.
Useless struggle is merely the futile attempt of a loser unwilling to face reality.
X9500 could accept any form of failure.
Because...
Even in failure, it doesnât matter!
The cosmic will still favors him!
Just now, Lin Qiubaiâs sword not only destroyed the Red Rock Giant but also obliterated the command room and power cabin.
However, luck favored X9500!
The memory core was only about seventy percent destroyed!
The crucial black box escaped that terrifying sword aura undamaged!
This means X9500âs consciousness would be transmitted back to the Eternal Civilization by the black box!
He can start anew after resurrection!
Unlike the command room and power cabin, the memory core is very special.
Apart from housing the black box and space transmission device, it has another function - monitoring experiment participants.
Half a century ago, the rules of the "Soul Cultivation Field" experiment plan were inadequate, many destroyers were not greatly restrained, destructively developing and destroying many civilizations with untapped potential.
Later, for a time, the number of cultivation fields reduced drastically, scholars from the Mysterious Research Institute added numerous stipulations.
The policy, once launched, immediately regarded the destroyers from Team Three like the lowly ones as the others from Team Ten.
Meanwhile, the slaughterers from Team Seven and the conquerors from Team Nine, due to some similarity to destroyers, suffered impact and implication, facing numerous unnecessary restraints.
"If... werenât... restrained!"
X9500âs voice grew smaller yet increasingly vicious.
In his hand, he clutched a top-level Conquest Card capable of "cleaning the Earthâs surface once"!
This means X9500 had the card to drag Lin Qiubai and Earth Civilization to perish together!
But this thought just flashed through his mind and disappeared.
Belligerence yields nothing beneficial!
The high-grade non-material resources on Earth are ten times more than expected!
Prepare well for the next visit; surely, the gains will be plentiful!
X9500 regained his mood.
Failure is the mother of success!
This time, his information gathering on Earth was inadequate; next time... it will not be!
"I will definitely make a comeback!"
"I have countless chances to fail, but you only have one life!"
"Lin Qiubai is going to die, right?"
"Next time, will you still have such interstellar friends to help you?"
"Hahahahaha..."
X9500, cut in half by a sword, died in manic laughter.
His body and protective clothing disintegrated into ashes, scattered in the wind.
Inside the Red Rock Giant, the collapsed memory core, the palm-sized orange box called the black box, vanished at the same time.
Lin Qiubai ignored X9500âs defeated dog lament.
With one hand behind his back, the crystalline purple hair fluttered in the wind, his eyes opening and closing, blood gleaming: "Perfect Sword, I have achieved."
Upon saying this, the corner of Lin Qiubaiâs lips curved into a barely noticeable arc, as if smiling.
"My promise wasnât completely fulfilled."
"So..."
"Inform Ma Ran that the deal is off when you return."
Lin Qiubaiâs gaze fell onto Wan Haihao, his tone calm, as it was when he first arrived: "Earthling, goodbye."
