Chapter 289: 180 Star Pattern_2

A blade swung out, its trajectory starkly different from that of an ordinary long blade.

"Pu~"

A copious amount of fresh blood suddenly shot up high.

Fang Zhixing looked down, speechless.

Feng Jianping’s body had already split into two pieces, with the cut extending from the left shoulder to the right lower back.

He died instantly, never to rise again.

"How sharp!"

Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but feel invigorated, the Third Level Treasure Saber was indeed much sharper than the Second Level.

The next second, his muscles bulged, and golden scales appeared on the surface of his body.

Fang Zhixing raised the Crescent Moon Curved Blade and chopped down on his left arm.

Bang!

A chilling pain immediately emanated from his arm.

Fang Zhixing lifted his left arm to see that the blade had cut into the flesh, leaving behind a striking white mark.

Although the blade did not cut through the skin, the pain was very real.

That is to say, even if Fang Zhixing defended with all his might, he could not withstand being chopped by a Third Level Treasure Saber several times.

Right at that moment, the System Panel flashed brightly!

[Crescent Moon Curved Blade Full Level Conditions:

1. 4.5 jin of Flash Copper (incomplete)

2. 97.2 jin of Marrow Silver (incomplete)

3. 9 liang of Geng Gold (incomplete)

4. Use the Red Flame to burn the Crescent Moon Curved Blade for over an hour (incomplete)]

"Haha, it’s out!"

Fang Zhixing was overjoyed, as long as the blade was in his hand, the system would automatically start to unravel the Full Level Conditions.

"Hmm, as long as I collect these four conditions, I can upgrade the Silver Moon Saber from Third Level Low Grade to Third Level Upper Grade."

Fang Zhixing was greatly spirited, his face full of anticipation.

"Condition 1 requires Flash Copper, a prohibited item, but I can get it by purchasing Lingli Armor."

"Conditions 2 and 3, Marrow Silver and Geng Gold, can be bought directly."

"Condition 4 ’Red Flame’, refers to the high-temperature flame produced by burning ’Red Flame Crystal Stone’, which can also be purchased."

Fang Zhixing quickly understood in his heart that, if all went well, he could promptly meet these four conditions within a few days using his financial resources.

"Fang Zhixing, shall we leave a survivor?"

At this moment, Xigou had already defeated the two men ambushed near the arched gate.

"No need."

Fang Zhixing didn’t spare them another glance, put away the Crescent Moon Curved Blade, and walked towards the study in high spirits.

Soon after, Hongye emerged from the secret passage and also arrived at the study.

She asked anxiously, "Master, what exactly is the origin of the assassin?"

Fang Zhixing replied, "They are men from the Flying Eagle Sect, under the command of the magistrate."

"Oh no!"

Hongye caught her breath and hurriedly said, "Have we been exposed? I will send a message to the madam right away."

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, dawn was just breaking.

Fluttering~

A homing pigeon flew into Yixiang House.

Hongye had not slept all night, waiting for the message.

She immediately took the paper roll from the pigeon’s leg, unfolded it, and her eyes flickered.

"Master, the madam has replied and arranged a new task for you."

She hurried to the second floor and entered the bedroom.

Fang Zhixing had just awakened and took a look at the paper roll.

"Arrive at the Iris Valley, three hundred twenty li to the southeast, before the third watch this afternoon; blow the whistle, one long, one short, one long."

Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but stare blankly; the task was cryptic and unclear.

"It seems that after I go to the designated place, someone will meet me and then assign me a task."

Fang Zhixing pondered, quickly formulating numerous conjectures in his mind.

Then, he unfolded a map and studied it, discovering that the Iris Valley was quite secluded, at least a hundred li away from the main road.

"There’s no time to waste; I must set out immediately."

Fang Zhixing quickly dressed and woke up the soundly sleeping Xigou with a kick.

"Damn it, another task so early in the morning?"

Xigou yawned, his dog face filled with reluctance.

The man and his dog hastily ate breakfast, made a few preparations, and then set off.

They left the county, heading southward, first rushing down the official roads.

At the 250-li juncture, they took a turn and entered a forest path.

After that, they crossed two mountains and traversed a tributary of the Qingshui River, eventually encountering a village.

Fang Zhixing took out the map again to look and asked the villagers for directions, only to realize that he had taken the wrong road.

Having no other choice, the man and his dog backtracked and entered another road.

Before he knew it, the third quarter of the afternoon was almost upon him.

Yet, Fang Zhixing still hadn’t found where Iris Valley was.

"According to the map, Iris Valley should be nearby..."

Fang Zhixing furrowed his brows, looking around the vast expanse, only to see a dense jungle stretching endlessly, as if there was no end to it.

"Hey, Fang Zhixing!"

Xigou suddenly asked, "Is the Iris Valley called so because there are a lot of irises there?"

Fang Zhixing had no idea and replied, "Perhaps."

Xigou raised his head, sniffing the air, then suddenly said, "This way, follow me."

He darted off, weaving through the trees.

Fang Zhixing followed on horseback.

As they went on...

They came upon a vast opening, revealing a deep gorge filled with blooming irises.

"Found it!" Fang Zhixing felt a surge of joy within him, glanced at the sun, and realized he was already late.

He quickly dismounted, changed into a set of black clothes, donned a mask, and then entered the valley, blowing three whistles.

Shortly after, a stern-looking young man appeared near the mouth of the valley, dressed in black night-traveling clothes but without a mask.

The young man gestured with his hand and called, "Over here."

Fang Zhixing remained silent, walking over unhurriedly.

"You’re the last one here, just wait here for now."

The young man turned to the side, extending his hand and making a welcoming gesture.

Fang Zhixing slightly raised his head, his gaze passing over the top of the young man’s head, looking behind him.

He saw dozens of figures gathered in a grassy area full of flowers, some sitting, some standing.

All of them wore black night-traveling clothes, some with their faces covered, while others had their masks off, revealing their faces.

Scanning the crowd, Fang Zhixing saw, as he had expected, all strangers; he didn’t recognize a single one.

Xigou lowered his head, half crawling into the crowd, doing a full round, sniffing here and there.

Everyone grew tense, instinctively bracing themselves.

Being stared at by such a robust and ugly maned wolf made anyone feel uncomfortable and insecure.

Fang Zhixing spoke lightly, "Don’t be nervous, it won’t bite without my command."

The crowd was skeptical but, for the moment, no one openly called for restraint.

Fortunately, Xigou promptly returned to Fang Zhixing’s side and lay down obediently, no longer troubling anyone.

"How is it?" Fang Zhixing asked through telepathic communication.

Xigou clicked his tongue twice, responding, "All are in the Beast Realm, ranging from One Beast Realm to Five Beasts Realm."

He glanced at a burly figure sitting in the corner in black clothes and a red mask, suggesting, "That guy must be Five Beasts Realm, the meat quality is too enticing."

Then he eyed someone in the crowd with their arms crossed, clicking his tongue, "That one is Five Beasts Realm too, they have a strong toxic scent, definitely a master of poison."

After that, he shifted his gaze slightly, peering at the shadows at the foot of the mountain, saying gravely, "That person is also very dangerous, definitely not simple."

Fang Zhixing silently nodded, taking mental notes.

An hour quickly passed by.

Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop~

A horse galloped straight into Iris Valley.

Fang Zhixing turned his head to look, his eyes widening slightly.

"It’s actually him!"

The newcomer was a hunchbacked old man, wielding a Horse-slaying Heavy Blade, unmistakably "Humpback Ghost Blade" Xin Zhanhong.

"Has everyone arrived?"

Xin Zhanhong dismounted, his face void of expression, his eyes cold as he scanned the crowd, predatory.

The young man with the stern face bowed his head and answered with a reverent voice, "Yes, everyone is here, not a single one missing."

Xin Zhanhong nodded and announced loudly, "Today’s mission is a bit challenging; we’re going to annihilate the Flying Eagle Sect."

With those words out!

Heavy breathing filled the air, many faces changing with the news.

Xin Zhanhong pointed towards the deepest part of Iris Valley and continued with detail, "Once you exit Iris Valley, you’ll approach Flying Eagle Mountain.

The gate to the Flying Eagle Sect ’Flying Eagle Castle’ is up on the mountain, that fortress is like an iron wall, easy to defend and hard to attack.

However, I have a way to break through their blockade and infiltrate the castle directly.

Your task is to bloodbath that fortress, kill every breathing soul inside it, understand?"

"Understood!"

Fang Zhixing and the others responded in unison.

Xin Zhanhong wasted no more words, carrying his saber as he walked towards the inner valley.

The others followed in step without any agreement, all proceeding on foot.

After crossing a valley that was thousands of meters long, a steep cliff suddenly loomed before them.

Xin Zhanhong shouldered his Horse-slaying Saber and climbed the cliff with his bare hands.

The cliff was covered in thorny vines, and the rock face was damp and slippery, making it a difficult climb.
