Dozens of White Tiger demons, including more than six commander-level and twenty general-level, such a terrifying lineup, all rushed toward the Demon-Slaying Sword.
Fortunately, Jiang Kai and the others had cleared out the surrounding wild monsters beforehand, preventing a situation like with the Murloc Lord, where a massive tide of beasts surged forth.
Suddenly, the Demon-Slaying Sword erupted with a white light, rippling outward in all directions.
A large number of the White Tigers attacking the Demon-Slaying Sword were injured.
The Demon-Slaying Sword seized the opportunity to shoot out from a gap and once again shot toward the king-level White Tiger demon.
It seemed that in the eyes of the Demon-Slaying Sword, only the White Tiger demon existed. It went berserk, launching a frenzied bombardment at the king-level White Tiger.
Jiang Kai was already dumbfounded.
What lingering hatred? This was a total blood feud!
The king-level White Tiger was also stunned by the attacks from the Demon-Slaying Sword. Its underlings couldn't stop it, it couldn't stop it, and it couldn't even escape!
The king-level White Tiger let out a roar, but it no longer had the previous domineering kingly aura—it was more like an unwilling and angry roar.
At first, Jiang Kai had worried that the little broken sword wouldn't last to slay the king-level White Tiger. He hadn't expected the little broken sword to still be going strong after fighting the king-level White Tiger for thirty minutes.
In contrast, the king-level White Tiger—its first-phase sound attack, second-phase high-speed qi shield recovery, third-phase berserk mode, and fourth-phase tornado—none could suppress the Demon-Slaying Sword.
After forty-five minutes of fierce battle, the king-level White Tiger was already covered in wounds.
Suddenly, the little broken sword hovered in midair. Then the sword tilted sideways, the hilt back, the broken blade pointing straight at the king-level White Tiger.
"Out of energy?" Hu Yan asked doubtfully. "Kai, should we step in? The king-level White Tiger looks like it's about to fall."
But Jiang Kai's eyes were locked dead on that small broken sword.
Although the Demon-Slaying Sword was just floating quietly in the air without attacking, Jiang Kai remembered the black shadow who had once fought him.
That guy had held the sword just like this—and then, during their clash, had one-shot him!
"Moonlit Immortal Sword Steps!" Jiang Kai muttered, eyes widening instantly.
Suddenly, the image of the Demon-Slaying Sword blurred, even its afterimage disappearing—it vanished without a trace.
Almost at the same time, a phantom flashed directly through the head of the king-level White Tiger. Moments later, behind the White Tiger's head, the Demon-Slaying Sword reappeared, floating steadily there.
The king-level White Tiger let out a mournful howl, its huge body crashing to the ground.
"My god, that little broken sword soloed a king-level?!" Hu Yan gasped hard.
In fact, the Demon-Slaying Sword didn't just kill the king-level White Tiger. On the battlefield, the corpses of other White Tiger demons lay scattered everywhere—at least several dozen, most of which were elites, generals, and even three commander-level!
But what shocked Jiang Kai even more was the power of the Demon-Slaying Sword's previous owner.
Just a Demon-Slaying Sword with partial memory could solo a king-level boss—just how strong was its former master?
Jiang Kai also figured something out.
Why did the black shadow in Fragment Nine have that move? Or rather, why did Immortal Trace Valley have a Moonlit Immortal Sword Steps skill book?
Because the Moonlit Immortal Sword Steps was precisely the skill of the Demon-Slaying Sword's former master!
The footwork shown by the shadow under the moon was, in fact, the Moonlit Immortal Sword Steps.
Those spirit beasts who'd dwelled here for a long time must have often witnessed the shadow under the moon—thus the scattered fragments from one to eight.
Although Jiang Kai lost to the shadow in combat, he saw the last, and possibly the hardest-to-see, part of the Moonlit Immortal Sword Steps—thus he obtained Fragment Nine.
After the king-level boss was killed, the other White Tiger demons scattered and fled, leaving only the little broken sword standing proudly on the battlefield.
At that moment, Jiang Kai seemed to see a certain someone from the past—one man, one sword, sweeping the battlefield, standing tall!
What a heroic and unrivaled presence!
While Jiang Kai was still moved, Hu Yan slapped his shoulder hard. "Kai, what are you daydreaming about? Pick up the loot!"
"Pick up the loot?" As soon as Jiang Kai heard those two words, he instantly tossed the image of that super powerhouse to the back of his mind and dashed out from the forest. "Hahahaha, we're rich!"
…
The ground was covered with corpses and spirit orbs—roughly estimated, at least five to six hundred White Tiger corpses!
The Vulcan squad picked up loot so frantically they barely had time to look up.
More than ten minutes later, Jiang Kai, Hu Yan, and Ruan Yu each held a thick stack of cards in their hands.
"Kai, did you get the chest?"
"Of course, the first thing I grabbed was the boss treasure chest!" Jiang Kai said confidently.
"Let's see what good stuff is inside."
The king-level boss chest was several times bigger than regular ones.
Opening the king-level boss chest, the gems inside sparkled dazzlingly—almost blinding.
Hu Yan was the first to exclaim, "No way—summoning skull!"
Lying at the top of the chest was a huge beast skull, about the size of a human fist, emitting a faint green mist.
Summoning skulls weren't considered rare, but that didn't mean they weren't precious. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people never even had the chance to see one in person.
A three-person team directly obtaining a summoning skull—this hadn't even happened across the entire globe, let alone just in Huaxia!
"This is super valuable. Store it immediately." Jiang Kai quickly put the skull away.
"Ruan Yu, what kind of ore are these?" Hu Yan held up several crystal-clear stones.
"This… I haven't seen them before… But judging by their quality, they're probably no longer ore. The purity is extremely high—might be a resource that can be cashed out!"
Jiang Kai had very few appraisal cards left. He decided not to appraise anymore and just stored the huge pile of stones first.
"What's this? Class change materials?" Jiang Kai took out two small bottles from the chest. The materials seemed to be ceramic, shaped like vases, with golden patterns on them.
"Kai, I only have two appraisal cards left." Hu Yan handed his remaining cards to Jiang Kai, signaling him to appraise them.
[Tears of the Gods (10 units) – Can upgrade relics. The upgraded relic must be eligible for leveling.]
Jiang Kai's eyes instantly widened. His Divine Might Jade needed Tears of the Gods to upgrade, but he had never seen any on the marketplace!
Now there were 20 units here!
"As expected of a king-level boss chest—it's throwing out Tears of the Gods in bulk!"
Next item.
This relic was actually glowing!
[Exquisite Jade of Power (Transcendent Tier-5 Grade-1) (Cashable) – Increases stamina by 400 points. Quickly replenishes consumption in battle. Qi shield durability.]
The three of them looked at each other, dumbfounded.
"Transcendent equipment?!"
"Kai, I've still got ten appraisal cards, take them." Ruan Yu contributed ten more cards. "Quick, see what else we got."
Jiang Kai continued to pull out the loot.
A tiger pelt—white with black stripes—appraised as a top-quality White Tiger beast hide, usable for making coats.
King-level blood essence crystal, lots of mutant blood essence crystals, talent skull, 70 pages of second-tier scripture fragments.
Three third-tier qi jade stones.
At the bottom of the chest appeared several glass tubes with metal bases. As soon as they saw them, the group immediately tensed up again.
Class change materials were here!
