447: Chapter 245: Madman Template Card (Please Subscribe)_3 447: Chapter 245: Madman Template Card (Please Subscribe)_3 ‘Iron Madman Template Enhancement Card (First Tier)’—Provides further enhancement on the basis of the Iron Madman Character Template Card, significantly strengthening talent, comprehension, and Bloodline Talent, requiring 30 Blood Essence Points.

Chu Xisheng actually hesitated for a moment.

Chu Xisheng had no idea what the effects of the Iron Madman’s First Tier enhancement card would be like.

To what extent could it be enhanced?

Could it surpass the ‘Qin Muge Character Template Card (50% Off)’

If it couldn’t surpass that, it might be better to spend twenty Blood Essence Points to get half of Qin Muge.

However, Chu Xisheng considered the many talents awakened by the Iron Madman and thought they should be very suitable for the Iron Armor Mixed Element Technique, so he reluctantly made the exchange.

At this moment, Tie Xiaosheng felt a warmth inside his body.

He felt an itchiness all over, an itchiness that penetrated to the marrow!

He also felt as if there were globs of magma drilling out from his bones.

This caused his entire body to surge with hot blood, his blood energy coursing with intensity.

“This is?”

Tie Xiaosheng was filled with astonishment and doubt, wondering if what was happening inside his body could be a Bloodline Awakening?

He struggled to operate his True Yuan in an effort to calm the abnormalities within him, dispersing the ‘magma’ throughout his body.

But just as he managed to spread the heat throughout his body, the second, even hotter wave of magma began to rise from his bones.

Tie Xiaosheng was utterly confused.

Why had he suddenly awakened his Bloodline for no apparent reason?

Was it because he was traumatized by the death of Lao Liu?

But why at East City Pier of Xiushui County and not at the Mi Family Mansion, the scene of the Madman’s fall?

At this time, Chu Xisheng smiled slightly and looked over at him, “I’ve just thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy, but on second thought, it’s not quite right.

Uncle Tie, please go ahead.

You can make your own decisions regarding all matters in the upstream battles.”

Tie Xiaosheng was utterly puzzled.

But he still suppressed his confusion, soaring into the sky and flying towards the headquarters’ large boat.

——That was their headquarters, and also a powerful warship.

Halfway through Tie Xiaosheng’s flight, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Tie Xiaosheng felt that his movement speed had increased by nearly forty percent compared to before.

He then trod on the Void and carefully sensed the changes within his body.

A moment later, Tie Xiaosheng clenched his fist tightly, a gleam gradually appearing in his eyes.

His Bloodline Talent had been enhanced by three levels from its original state!

Tie Xiaosheng didn’t understand the reason for this but longed for a battle with Dragon Head Ren Daoheng of the Seventeen Linked Wharves.

Ever since the Madman’s death, Tie Xiaosheng’s heart had been filled with rage and hatred which knotted together, obstructing and hard to disperse, causing his Qi-Blood circulation to be uncomfortable and his chest to sting with pain.

And the best way to vent these feelings was through a fierce and satisfying battle.

——In this battle, he might not necessarily lose!

※※※※

Governor Sikong Chan received the news of the defeat in the great battle of Xiushui County half an hour after it ended.

At the moment, he was riding in a carriage, hurrying back to Xiushui County.

When Sikong Chan received the three Qiankun Flying Swords sent one after another, and read the tokens attached at the tails of the swords, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his mustache and the front of his shirt red.

The injuries he had suppressed within him worsened once again.

Sikong Chan’s face contorted with malevolence as he gritted his teeth and spat out several names.

“Sheen Zhou!

Shangguan Shen Hao!

Scoundrels—”

These three Qiankun Flying Swords came from the Sheen Family, the Shangguan Family, and his own Changshi.

Although the content of the messages varied, the conveyed information was consistent.

The Xiushui Family Alliance Army was devastatingly defeated, with over five thousand casualties in the Xiushui County Army.

The clan soldiers from the Inner City Families also suffered more than nine thousand casualties, with an additional five thousand captured by West Mountain Hall.

The high-grade Martial Practitioners also suffered significant losses; twenty-two Sixth Grade Martial Cultivators had died in battle, and five Fifth Grade masters perished—among them several heads of aristocratic families.

Now, less than five thousand soldiers remained in Xiushui County, and they were severely deficient in high-grade Martial Practitioners.

Commander Sheen Zhou was urgently conscripting able-bodied men in the city to man the defenses.

In addition, sorcerers from West Mountain Hall were using spells at night to summon fog to obscure the moonlight.

In late April, when the weather was continuously rainy and cloudy, it was especially easy for West Mountain Hall sorcerers to summon the fog through their spells.

Xiushui County had to bring out one thousand five hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones and thirty thousand Divine Gold from its reserves, part for reinforcing the City Defense Array and part to fund the sorcerers’ spells to disperse the fog.

Sikong Chan’s pupils flashed red.

The one thousand five hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones and thirty thousand Divine Gold were painstakingly collected by him to pay the state tax!

These aristocratic families don’t have money?

How dare they use it without permission!

What fueled Sikong Chan’s inner turmoil and felt like a fire burning within him was that the major defeat by Sheen Zhou and others had ruined the favorable situation.

With the loss of these twenty thousand troops and so many masters, how was he supposed to suppress the Iron Banner Gang?

If the situation worsened and the Iron Banner Gang plundered Xiushui, how should he explain it to his superiors?

At this moment, endless regret gnawed at his heart.

The Iron Banner Gang was a stone too hard to crack; it had shattered all his teeth, and even his wife had lost her life at the hands of the Iron Madman.

Sikong Chan pondered why he had bothered at all?

What if he had just let the Iron Banner Gang continue to grow?

And why take such risks for the greed of their properties.

He could have just endured, served a few more years as governor, and then found a way to be transferred to another position.

But what was done was done, and he had no room for regret.

Sikong Chan then suppressed the rage and panic in his chest and fell into deep thought.

Commander Sheen Zhou and the Changshi of Xiushui County unanimously stated that West Mountain Hall had several mysterious masters.

Shangguan Shen Hao even mentioned a woman among them who practiced ‘Thirteen Grand Protectors Golden Bell Training,’ whose combat strength surpassed that of the Iron Madman before his promotion.
