Chapter 324: 166 Both Lose, Amazing Harvest!_2

Paranoia and frenzy, the sickness, came accompanied by murderous intent.

Roar!!!!

A colossal, peerless black flame sword light, setting the sky ablaze, swept across!

"Wailing Secret Sword, Ghosts Weep and Gods Howl!"

Feng Jun’s face changed dramatically, confronted with an almost suffocating momentum that blanketed the sky, he had no choice but to use his most powerful hidden techniques to contend with Bai Xiao.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The shiny silver blade instantly exploded, transforming into flowing fire-like black petals, fine shards of sword light surged out violently like a school of sardines. Wherever they went, the mournful wails overlapped in dense masses, like a thunderstorm!

Boom!!!!

Amidst the startling explosion of flames, the colliding shadows suddenly became hazy.

The next second, a violent airflow created a gigantic vortex swallowing dust and debris. Ripples of white qi surged in waves, echoing as they spiraled.

Whoosh!

Feng Jun’s figure shot out diagonally, even spinning clockwise at high speed over three hundred and sixty degrees, sliding across several dozen meters in a prolonged arc before he finally managed to slow down. Flicking his right hand, he cast a reverse sword strike, cleaving a towering tree in his path in twain to borrow its momentum to land.

With blood on the corner of his mouth, Feng Jun grunted softly, glanced at his left shoulder which moved unnaturally, and saw a dark purple, profound fist mark on his shoulder. His sword-wielding right hand had fresh blood streaming down, with his tiger’s mouth split open to an exaggerated extent.

"This person, a complete freak."

"Doesn’t at all seem like someone who could be nurtured by a small place like Huaisui City..."

"If he participates in the Dark World martial arts competition anytime soon, I’m afraid many will fall at his hands, including some famous secret martial geniuses."

He had a flurry of thoughts flashing through his mind in an instant.

Afterward, he looked deeply at Bai Xiao, who was still eager to charge over from not far away.

"If only my three secret swords were completely cultivated..."

Feng Jun’s eyes darkened, he pointed his toe, and his body gently and swiftly retreated at high speed. Somehow, perhaps after witnessing Bai Xiao’s true strength,

he seemed to be adjusting his attitude at this moment.

He reached into his bosom with his right hand and threw a black mask towards Bai Xiao.

"This is our Ghost Face token, if you’re interested..."

"Bang!"

A black and red ghastly claw reached out and crushed it with brute force.

Bai Xiao shattered the black mask, his face as hard as forged steel.

"Not interested!"

"Right now, I’m only interested in your head, can you give it to me?"

"Heh heh..."

With a cold laugh, Feng Jun turned and swept into the forest in an instant.

Bai Xiao pursued furiously for a few steps but stopped his advance.

He indeed was not as fast as this man; close combat was fine, but a chase would prove difficult. Moreover, he couldn’t sustain the explosive state of the Ba Snake Body indefinitely.

"Huff..."

Bai Xiao’s massive body heaved a sigh, and two streams of white qi blasted onto the ground, off-blowing scattered leaves to reveal the dark mud beneath. He looked down at the chest, neck, and arms, where there were streaks of blood, skin torn and flesh splayed open, particularly one wound on his shoulder.

It went three inches deep, having cut through the extremely tough muscle and skin.

Honestly, Feng Jun was a terrifyingly powerful individual.

He wasn’t anything like those Evil Ghost Level opponents Bai Xiao had previously killed.

Feng Jun must have advanced quite a distance within the realm of Martial Artists, achieving no small feats. Moreover, his set of secret martial techniques was also incredibly powerful, with myriad changes and moves. Even his weapon was made from some specially crafted material, possessing unique abilities. It managed to withstand Bai Xiao’s relentless mighty blows and later, to injure Bai Xiao.

This man was not from Huaisui City, but a formidable expert from some other place.

The battle just now could be described as both sides fought to a standstill. Due to his stronger physique, Bai Xiao sustained slightly lighter injuries than his opponent.

"I had thought I could take him down."

"But in the end, I forced out his final trump card, blocking my Roar Sword..."

Bai Xiao felt the sting from the bloody wounds on his body, eyes slightly squinted in a sickly manner, took a deep breath. For some reason, he somewhat enjoyed the feeling. Pain made him feel more real, made him understand that he had engaged in a genuine fight with a powerful enemy!

When he crushed others, Bai Xiao did not have this realization.

"Truth be told,"

"This feeling, although a bit morbid, but... feels great!"

Bang!

He suddenly threw a punch, directly blasting a large tree on his right to pieces.

Light yellow sawdust burst forth like heavenly flowers scattering in the air.

Bai Xiao slowly turned around, and without looking back, walked away towards the distance.

"Ghost Face, the Secret Martial World outside Huaisui City, the Dark World martial arts competition..."

"Sooner or later, I’ll encounter them all."

"Heh heh heh..."

A sneer gradually faded into the air.

...

On a quiet road, an off-road vehicle remained silently parked.

In the driver’s seat, Bai Xiao quickly tended to his wounds, then silently looked at his phone. After waiting for about half a minute, a message came through.

"Mission type: Escort."

"Mission difficulty: Two stars."

"Mission details: Combat Officer Bai Xiao of the Mo Yun Group’s Huaisui City branch will completely obliterate the Evolution Land No. 11 base. Within the base, the research material and experimental data of biological armor and monster cells are valuable. Some key paper documents are particularly valuable, please ensure they are safely escorted to the branch office."

With a click, the screen went dark.

Bai Xiao glanced at the thick stack of paper documents on the back seat.

Then he stepped on the accelerator.

With a buzz, the off-road vehicle sped off towards the city center.

Over half an hour passed.

Inside an office at the Mo Yun Group branch, Fengye Building.

"So, I’m now a senior officer and have the privilege of redeeming the Mercury Potion, a pharmaceutical only available at a discounted price to certain regional heads," Bai Xiao, now in a set of clean clothes and with white bandages around his wounds, said while sipping his tea from a soft sofa.

"That’s correct."

"You were initially a junior officer, but based on today’s achievements, you can be directly promoted to senior officer. However, the privilege to exchange for the Mercury Potion is not included with the senior officer rank but is a special gift of thanks from Chairman Lin at the headquarters. Besides, you get two additional bottles of the Mercury Potion..."

Yao Qing walked over from the office desk with a tired face and said.

Bai Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

A moment ago, Yao Qing had already explained and introduced it to him.

The Mercury Potion, which can increase the compatibility between biological mecha masters and their armor, is a precious substance with virtually no side effects. Its costliness is such that an ordinary officer would need to work for years doing dirty and tedious labor to redeem just one dose. Moreover, even with sufficient points, it’s not guaranteed you can exchange for it, as it requires the authority of a regional head to purchase in limited quantities. Certainly, the effect of the potion is quite potent.

"As I understand it, the so-called Mercury Potion should be able to increase the experience for my career as a Biological Mecha Master, and for various biological armors."

Bai Xiao’s gaze swept over his three existing suits of armor, his eagerness growing when he thought about the two additional suits of armor he’d acquired today through his talent for plundering from monsters.

The Mercury Potion could significantly shorten the time Bai Xiao spent leveling his skills.

The various armors could quickly reach max level, turning into substantial attribute points.

"Quite good..."

He slowly stood up, his gaze drifting toward Zhu Ye standing nearby.

His face still showed that faint expression.

"Manager Zhu, please exchange all the points I’ve earned for Mercury Potions. And the two that Chairman Lin gifted me, give them all to me..."

At eleven o’clock in the morning, in the rest area next to the office.

Bai Xiao leaned back on the sofa, his eyes somewhat empty as he stared ahead.

After dealing with a series of matters.

He finally had time to sum up all the gains from this operation.

First was the Combat Officer career.

[Your career ’Combat Officer’, experience +219!]

[Your career ’Combat Officer’, has reached the limit!]

...

[Your skill ’Combat’, experience +320!]

[Your skill ’Combat’, has leveled up to LV.3!]

...

[Your skill ’Escort’, experience +300!]

[Your skill ’Escort’, has leveled up to LV.3!]

...

Bai Xiao narrowed his eyes, watching a barrage of experience information flash before him.

He then looked forward with anticipation at his Combat Officer career.

[Career: Combat Officer LV.3 (∞/∞)]

(Available for extraction)

[Skill: Escort LV.3 (1/300)]

(Available for extraction)

[Skill: Combat LV.3 (147/300)]

(Available for extraction)

Three glaring ’Available for extraction’ notifications.

In that moment, they captured all of Bai Xiao’s attention.

"Come on...Dark Red!"
