Chapter 163 The Imminent Great War

  Zhang Shan swiftly closed in, his blade flashing once more, and Li Ruofeng's right arm was severed by him.

  Then with his left hand he made a grasping motion in mid-air, and the severed arm flew directly fifteen zhang away, nailing itself to the trunk of a tree.

  At this distance, his divine sense could no longer detect anything, so he wasn't afraid that Li Ruofeng would take out something from the Susano'o seal to turn the tables.

  He let out a gentle breath, everything was going according to his plan, without any deviation.

  With a loud thud, Li Ruofeng's body, stained with fresh blood, finally crashed heavily to the ground.

  Zhang Shan walked slowly up to him with his sword in hand.

  "You can't be Long Yun, who are you? Why kill me?"

  Li Ruofeng's voice was weak and hoarse, the muscles on his face twitching constantly, staring with a pair of eyes, his gaze full of resentment.

  His dantian and qihai have been completely pierced and destroyed by that one sword, and he is not far from death. However, he did not understand who was behind it, and his eyes remained open in anger.

  "Of course, I'm Long Yun. Ha! You have your doubts, no wonder. Normally, I don't seem to be related to any faction, otherwise you wouldn't have fallen for it, right? Anyway, each has their own master, and you don't have anything good to complain about."

  Zhang Shan said calmly, still maintaining the appearance of Long Yun. He had no obligation to explain to an enemy that he was Zhang Shan and that he had killed him for Wu Xueyue's sake.

  And who knows if he has some secret method of sending out messages, for example, if he is someone's spiritual slave, it's possible that the master would sense something.

  Li Ruofeng was just suspicious and couldn't see anything, he wasn't very familiar with Long Yunyi to begin with, and besides, the Thousand Changes mask combined with the Shape-shifting Technique had once made a killer become the King of Killers, how could it be easy to detect?

  "Each has its own master? Are you one of the other two?"

  Upon hearing his words, Li Ruofeng's eyes fluttered for a moment, and she panted.

  "As a public figure like you has taken sides, someone as insignificant as me should make arrangements even earlier."

  Zhang Shan said quietly, he didn't kill Li Ruofeng at the first time, just to see if he could get any information from his mouth.

  Li is about to die, and forcing him to confess would be useless. However, by confusing him and making indirect attacks, it's possible that he might reveal some information.

  Li Ruofeng stared at his eyes: "Xueyue Shengnv's foundation is too shallow, she has only been in the door for half a year, and only the Great Elder supports her on the surface. She is just a lone person, you shouldn't be her person, should you?"

  Zhang Shan sneered, "Who I am is no longer significant to you, you're almost dead anyway. Why don't you say something, any last words? Out of respect for being fellow disciples, if it's just a small matter, I'll help you fulfill your wish as a way of doing a good deed."

  Li Ruofeng turned a deaf ear to his words and continued to stare into Zhang Shan's eyes as he spoke.

  "Are you the Sunny Moon Saint? I told you that Sunny Moon was going to make a move, big brother, you just didn't believe me..."

  Li Ruofeng's face showed a resentful and unwilling expression, his eyes began to wander slightly, muttering to himself:

  "You people with the surname Long, my elder brother will definitely investigate and avenge me, just wait for your death by a thousand cuts..."

  Zhang Shan knew that the other two Holy Maidens of Yuehua Pool, one was Qingyue Holy Maiden Gu Siqing and the other was Yingyue Holy Maiden Ying Ruomei. Now according to Li Ruofeng's words, it seemed that he had turned to join forces with Ying Ruomei's side.

  "Just knowing which side he's on is enough."

  Zhang Shan thought for a moment, then lost his patience and swung the sword in his hand. Li Ruofeng's head was cut off by him with one sword.

  A finger snap, a spark of fire ignited on the fingertips, and then popped onto Li Ruofeng's body, starting to burn fiercely.

  With a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Net Plucking Stars technique was activated, and from over a dozen feet away, that severed arm nailed to the tree trunk was sucked into his grasp.

  Zhang Shan took off the ring on his finger and threw it into the flames along with his severed arm.

  In an instant, Li Ruofeng turned into a pile of flying ash and completely disappeared from this world.

  Zhang Shan immediately left, and in half a time, Zhang Shan jumped onto a large tree, sat down on the branches, put away his mask, restored his original face, and began to examine the Su Mei ring left by Li Ruofeng.

  "This bottle should be the Chunhua Qiuyue Lü that Wei Kong mentioned, right?"

  A jade bottle suddenly appeared in his hand, Zhangshan thought, with a true yuan spitting out, the jade bottle bounced out of his palm and exploded into powder in mid-air.

  After another round of messy translation, there were quite a few low-grade spirit stones, several hundred mid-grade ones, and several third-tier spirit tools. Zhang Shan now had Cang Feng, so other weapons no longer interested him.

  Besides, it's not suitable to sell these spiritual instruments outside. The Li family has a significant influence in Yuehua Pool, and this kind of thing can easily reveal one's tracks. Let's keep them for now and talk about it later.

  Then there are some medicinal pills and miscellaneous materials, which can be taken out of hand.

  At this time, a transparent thing caught Zhangshan's attention. Because it was transparent, it was mixed in with a pile of materials and almost let Zhangshan overlook it.

  Is this a piece of three-foot square cloth? Or is it leather? The texture is soft and smooth, like a piece of transparent silk.

  After careful observation for a while, Zhang Shan still couldn't figure out what its function was, but he felt that it brought him a sense of ancient simplicity and elegance, which was quite extraordinary.

  "Ling'er, what is this thing?" Zhang Shan asked Ling'er.

  Ling'er has been busy with things in the spiritual realm these days, and I don't know what she's doing. Zhang Shan hasn't entered the spiritual realm since the competition started.

  "Huh? This thing...... bring it to the spiritual realm and let me take a closer look."

  Ling'er was taken aback and exclaimed, then said.

  "Could it really be some kind of treasure?"

  Zhang Shan thought about it, and with a movement of his divine consciousness, he sent it into the spiritual realm.

  After a while, Ling'er said: "This should be the inner skin of the ancient alien beast Lu Wu. Its greatest effect is to isolate spiritual exploration. If you wrap it around an object and use spiritual exploration, you won't be able to find out what's inside."

  "Is that so? It's a good place to hide valuable things." Zhang Shan muttered.

  "It's just a bit small, otherwise if it were made into a cloak, it would be the ultimate treasure for stealth and assassination." Ling'er said.

  Zhang Shan took out the skin again and wrapped it around his nameplate. As expected, even if he put it on his forehead, he couldn't sense the nameplate inside.

  "Keep it, maybe it will come in handy someday."

  Zhang Shan put away the piece of Lu Wu's skin again, then began to meditate and calm his mind. Tomorrow would likely be a day of intense battles, and he needed to adjust himself to the best state.

  The next day, at dawn, Zhangshan headed towards the main peak of Silent Ridge, Lihen Peak. The Lihen Tower was located on the summit, which was both the end point of the first round and the entrance to the second round.
