Moon Blade.
This was the weapon given to him by Master Yixian.
Baiyu used to think it was made of A-Level alloy, but later discovered it was not alloy at all, but likely some special material.
In any case, it's extremely handy.
No matter how much powerful Blood Qi, it can withstand it.
If a weapon of inferior quality is infused with too much Blood Qi, it will shatter directly because it cannot bear it.
Moreover.
The Moon Blade's conversion rate of Blood Qi is also very high.
After all, this item is the holy artifact of the Black Moon Cult, so it's naturally more effective than regular weapons.
As soon as Baiyu consumed the Lifespan Pill.
The Blood and Qi Central Hub continued to operate.
Waves of Blood Qi frantically surged and gathered onto the Moon Blade.
The originally black blade of the Moon Blade was covered with massive Blood Qi, turning into a faint shade of crimson.
Baiyu's muscles erupted violently, and he gripped the sword handle with both hands.
A tremendous and fierce Sword Qi arose out of thin air.
Like the Celestial River shattering, thunder exploding.
"Celestial River Starburst Sword!"
He shouted in his heart.
A mighty sword light transformed into a long river, carrying an overwhelming momentum, rushing towards the incoming team of martial artists.
The surrounding trees were instantly blown apart.
The ground cracked into countless ravines.
In the midst of the crisscrossed Sword Qi, the leading martial artist was instantly torn to pieces.
This was just the beginning.
The tornado formed by Sword Qi spread in all directions, then exploded on the ground, raising waves of sandstorms.
Baiyu took a long breath.
Celestial River Starburst Sword, Forbidden Martial Arts, consuming lifespan with each use.
This was the first time Baiyu used it in actual combat, with an extremely impressive effect.
With one sword, it killed three elite-level martial artists.
Even among elite-level martial artists.
Being able to kill counterparts instantly with a single strike, the power of Forbidden Spirit Technique truly justifies its consumption.
At this moment.
This sword stroke earned Baiyu much time.
Both retreated opportunistically.
However, the remaining martial artists were not afraid but were provoked to become even more ferocious, charging straight at the duo against the Sword Qi still sweeping across the sky, regardless of how many sword wounds were carved on their bodies.
Death Warriors!
The two words suddenly emerged in Baiyu's mind.
To be able to cultivate elite-level martial artists as Death Warriors, and on such a large scale, the energy of the mastermind behind this is undeniably immense.
Soon enough.
The protective shield on Baiyu's body was cracked.
The Sanctuary Spirit's protection did not end there.
Clearly, it knew if Baiyu were killed.
Its outcome wouldn't be any better.
Thus, it exerted full force now, forming another layer of protective shield.
Just like this.
Baiyu and Qiong Xue started a prolonged tug-of-war with this group of martial artists.
With the help of the Sanctuary Spirit and many trump cards, this group of martial artists was unable to take them down for a while.
After all, many times.
It's very difficult to kill a martial artist of the same level who is determined to escape.
Let alone Baiyu, whose defense was like a turtle shell.
However.
When the stalemate lasted quite long.
The first main gate of Mountain City suddenly opened.
Two heavy artillery vehicles stopped on the road, their black cannon muzzles aimed at Baiyu.
"Damn!"
Baiyu's eyelids twitched.
He never expected the opponent would take out such high-kill weaponry meant for mobile Exotic Beasts against him.
Having barely returned from the Heavy Fog Forest.
Dodging the pursuit, the giant hand, and the subsequent searches of the alien races.
He didn't expect to be blocked outside the city gate, facing unforeseen dangers.
Baiyu gritted his teeth, planning to use the Eye of the Black Moon to summon the Moon Giant and finish off this group directly.
However.
Before he could act.
A grand armored convoy suddenly burst out from inside the city gate, crashing into the two artillery vehicles fiercely.
Then.
A large group of martial artists from the Security Bureau and the Mutual Aid Association emerged.
Shang Yufei leapt from the first vehicle, holding a long blade, leading the charge to Baiyu's side.
...
In five minutes.
The Security Bureau and Mutual Aid Association quickly pacified the dozens of martial artists outside.
Baiyu and Qiong Xue were relieved, though still shaken.
It had been a long time since they encountered such a scene of being chased relentlessly, running and hiding.
Even when fleeing.
There was never a life-threatening danger each time.
If those two cannon shots had fired, Baiyu would have probably had to use another Suffering Paperman.
Each use means one less.
Last time, he even asked the Third Prince for more, but he said they were unique treasures.
With this thought.
Baiyu temporarily wrapped his wounds and said to Shang Yufei:
"Investigate for me."
"You must root out those behind this group for me."
...
With Shang Yufei bringing reinforcements.
Finally, there were no more problems on the road.
Baiyu returned to the Earl's Mansion and heaved a sigh of relief, immediately instructing Erin to gather everyone.
Initially, the City Lord's Mansion was sealed off.
Now, the Security Bureau should not make significant movements, to avoid causing panic among officials and nobles in Mountain City and triggering severe backlash.
However.
The enemy had already made a move above him, how could Baiyu possibly endure it?
"Everything has been found out. Those four squads, specifically teams 3, 5, 6, and 9 of the fourth company of the Armed Department."
Not long after.
Shang Yufei handed a roster to Baiyu: "The commander of the fourth company is Zhang Gai, and here is the information about the origins, families, and relatives of those martial artists..."
The booklet was as thick as an adult's palm.
It recorded the detailed information of everyone in the fourth company, including Zhang Gai.
Including resumes and files, and friends and relatives.
"Have everyone apprehended, leave no one."
Baiyu's face was dark and stern.
Shang Yufei showed a difficult expression, as there were some Tier Four Martial Artists among them.
Some even bore official titles, ranks.
Forcibly capturing them might cause massive conflict, and they may not surrender willingly.
"You and Qiong Xue go first, if anyone dares to resist, come back and tell me."
Baiyu added.
They nodded.
As they walked out of the Earl's Mansion Weide Hall.
He Jin strode in hastily, without noticing the two women, going straight to Baiyu's side.
"Baiyu, what's going on? Why did you undertake such a large operation without notifying me?"
He said urgently.
Baiyu shook his head, gesturing for him to sit down, and then said: "Director He, you have been tirelessly training the troops, reorganizing soldiers, how could I trouble you with this matter. Originally planned with Minister Qiu, to lure the snake out of its hole, everything was perfectly aligned, but alas… it's the gap in hard power."
"Gap in hard power?
Qiu Yun is a Tier Two Martial Artist, a top expert in the city.
I can only stand fifty-fifty against him, what kind of traitor could be more formidable than him?"
He Jin doubted it.
Upon hearing Baiyu was attacked, he rushed over immediately, knowing nothing about the specific events.
"It's not about a traitor."
Baiyu sighed heavily, showing hesitation: "This matter is too astonishing, Director He, when I tell you, please try not to get agitated."
He Jin nodded.
Seeing his serious expression, Baiyu slowly said: "Minister Qiu wasn't defeated by a traitor or aliens but was taken away by a giant hand that broke through space!"
