“He’s really dead.”
Looking at the three people lying on the ground, Wu Chen frowned. These three people no longer had any breath left. All the strength in their bodies was dispersed. It was obvious that they were completely dead.
Wu Chen was both surprised and prepared for this. After all, the opponent these three people faced was no ordinary being, but Huang Pujun, the ruler of the Xuanwu Empire. He was extremely powerful and one of the most powerful people in the entire Tianwu Continent. Once he got angry and wanted to kill someone, no one could stop him. No matter what quasi-heavenly spiritual treasures or life-saving amulets were, they were useless and could not be stopped at all.
"Fortunately, the jade was handed over, otherwise, this would be a problem."
Wu Chen couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. If the jade was still in his hands, then Huang Pu Jun's spearhead would definitely be directed at him. Facing the terrifyingly powerful Huang Pu Jun, even if he used the Hell Lotus, he would not be his opponent at all. At that time, the ones who would become corpses might not be the three people in front of him, but him, Wu Chen.
Without paying any attention to the three dead men, Wu Chen turned his attention to their treasures and walked over slowly. These three treasures were quasi-heavenly spiritual treasures, possessing extremely powerful heretical energies. What he needed now was a powerful spiritual treasure.
Over the past few days, he has been visiting various major shopping malls and chambers of commerce to look for powerful spiritual treasures for the Dragon Slaying Sword to absorb, hoping that it would allow him to advance and upgrade to a top-grade earth-level spiritual treasure, or even a quasi-heavenly-level spiritual treasure. However, to his great disappointment, even after devouring so many spiritual treasures, the Dragon Slaying Sword still showed no signs of advancement. This made him very distressed and speechless towards this guy.
Over the years, he has spent countless thoughts and energy to cultivate the Dragon Slaying Sword. With so many resources, it would have been impossible for anyone else to get them. He would have collapsed long ago. Fortunately, he is the God of Alchemy and can refine elixirs in large quantities. Otherwise, he would probably have collapsed.
However, no matter what, he would continue to cultivate the Dragon Slaying Sword. This was his natal magic weapon, a treasure he made using black crystal iron. It was like his child. No matter how hard he tried, no matter how much hardship he endured, he would continue to cultivate the Dragon Slaying Sword and forge it into an unprecedented artifact.
When he walked over to take a look at the three treasures, Wu Chen couldn't help but be shocked. He saw that the light on the three treasures was dim, and the charm inside was weakened a lot. It was obvious that they had suffered a terrible blow.
It has to be said that Huang Pujun was really ruthless. Even the quasi-heavenly spiritual treasures could not withstand his power.
However, he soon laughed, because in the quasi-celestial spiritual treasure, there were some unique charms, which were engraved by a demigod-level strong man. If he wanted to refine this quasi-celestial spiritual treasure, he had to break the charms. The charms engraved by the demigod-level strong man had powerful power. It was definitely not an easy task to break them. He might even fail to break them and suffer from them.
But now it's better. Huang Pujun has taken action and severely damaged the aura inside, greatly reducing its power. It will be relatively easy for him to break it.
"God is helping me."
Wu Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter. With these three quasi-heavenly-grade spiritual treasures, he firmly believed that the Dragon Slaying Sword would be able to successfully upgrade to become a spiritual treasure of a higher level. He really wanted to see how powerful the Dragon Slaying Sword would become after the upgrade.
With a wave of his hand, a powerful force swept out and collected the three treasures. Then Wu Chen turned and left, disappearing into the night.
The night passed quietly, and when it was the next morning, an event that shocked the world spread quickly throughout Zhongzhou like a gust of wind.
This incident happened in the Suzaku Empire. For unknown reasons, the Emperor of the Xuanwu Empire, Huang Pujun, broke into the heartland of the Suzaku Empire and started a fierce battle with the Emperor of the Suzaku Empire, Murong Ke. In the end, Murong Ke used the heavenly spiritual treasure Phoenix Order, seriously injured Huang Pujun, and forcibly expelled him.
This incident caused a huge uproar throughout Zhongzhou, with people talking about it and speculating a lot.
"Have you heard? Something happened in Suzaku Empire last night that shocked the entire Central Plains."
"How could I not have heard of it? This matter has long been spread throughout the entire Central Plains. It can be said that everyone knows about it."
"This is very strange. Why did Huang Pujun go to the Suzaku Empire? Why did he have a conflict with Murong Ke? And why did Murong Ke ignore the ban and use the heavenly magic treasure to expel Huang Pujun?"
"I also find it very strange. Although there are some conflicts between the Xuanwu Empire and the Suzaku Empire, they are not very serious. It is definitely not to the extent that Huang Pujun would go deep into the heart of the Suzaku Empire, or even to the extent that Murong Ke would deploy a heavenly-level spiritual treasure. There must be something fishy and other deeper reasons."
"That's unknown. Anyway, Huang Pujun has been doing some strange things recently. Before the sinking of Shenguang Island, he used the Heavenly Grade Spiritual Treasure to attack Shenguang Island and the abandoned city. I don't know why."
"Yes, Huang Pujun has been acting really abnormal recently. His behavior is totally unpredictable."
"This matter has nothing to do with us. Let Huang Pujun go crazy and we can just watch the fun."
"Hahaha."
People were talking about it in the streets, restaurants and inns. It suddenly became the focus of gossip.
At the same time, another incident happened. Si Changfeng, Hong Tai and Zheng Peng died inexplicably in the territory of the Suzaku Empire. These three people may be unfamiliar to many people, but to some people, they are very familiar. These three people are not ordinary people, but the former sons of the saints of their respective holy lands and once prominent figures.
But now, these three people died inexplicably in the Suzaku Empire, and almost at the same time, the three holy places sent strong men to collect the bodies of the three and investigate the cause of death.
However, compared to the incident of Huang Pujun, the death of Si Changfeng and the other two was undoubtedly much smaller and was almost completely overshadowed by the incident of Huang Pujun. Therefore, this incident did not attract much attention.
Wu Chen didn't care about all these things. After he left the Suzaku Empire, he did not return to the Xuanwu Empire, but went deep into the Silent God Forest. He wanted to complete the task of upgrading the Dragon Slaying Sword here.
