Chapter 32: Magical Instruments

If possible, Wang Jixuan actually wanted to continue cultivating in this wooden house.

Here, there was Ye Zi, who was obedient, sensible, and particularly ‘loved’ doing housework, as well as a group of lively and lovely little ones, and various kinds of books.

Of course, the most important thing was the pure Spiritual Qi.

But at this moment, the Upper City’s plan to eradicate the Black Fire Gang and the Black Fire Gang’s shedding plan were both advancing step by step, and the identity of this landlady was simply too complex.

Fortunately, the children Old Madam Kong adopted had no connection with the Black Fire Gang.

Not only that.

According to Zhou Zhengde’s investigation, over the past thirty years, the orphans who left this wooden house were evenly dispersed in every corner of the Lower City, and five-sixths of them were unrelated to the Black Fire Gang.

Among these orphans, the one doing best now was ‘Old Goat’ Thomas.

Orphans who left the wooden house at different times played different roles in different areas of the Lower City; they maintained contact with each other, helped each other, and already showed a tendency to form a new organization.

Wang Jixuan also smelled something unusual in this.

Before the Black Fire Gang began its shedding, he had to first deal with a D-Level Spirit Ability User, then return to the wooden house, and when the Black Fire Gang shed its skin, kill everyone who entered the wooden house through the underground passage.

Including Old Madam Kong.

Trying to kill a D-Level Spirit Ability User while the Black Fire Gang was on full alert was quite difficult.

For this, Wang Jixuan waited seven more days and nights, trying to accelerate his cultivation while waiting for the new supplies from Zhou Zhengde to arrive.

The agreed time, the agreed place.

Wang Jixuan, dressed in a black combat suit and wearing a large black helmet, appeared at the supply point.

He once again noticed the two ‘Internal Affairs Department Guard Team’ members hiding in a corner a dozen meters away—these two brothers had delivered most of the supplies recently.

This time, the supply box was a large cello case.

Wang Jixuan maximized his spiritual perception and slowly approached the box; as soon as his spiritual perception sensed any danger, he would activate the Shen Xing Talisman on his leg and jump away.

Click.

The cello case’s latches opened on their own, revealing a dazzling array of individual weapons.

Daoist Wang carefully checked everything, picked up the cello case, turned and jumped away, disappearing from the two men’s sight after two or three leaps.

The two brothers each took out their text communicators, typed two identical messages, and clicked send.

Ding ding.

At the Thirteenth Floor Public Security Office, Zhou Zhengde, who was napping in a chair, immediately sat up straight when he heard the sound and grabbed the text communicator beside him.

Buzz, buzz.

Inside a car window flickering with light, slender fingers manipulated a text communicator, carefully reading the information on it.

【Supply taken.】

In the faint green glow of the screen, the woman’s red lips gently pursed.

…

About ten minutes later.

A dilapidated tin shack in the buffer zone between the Black Fire Gang and Wanli Gold.

Daoist Wang’s Secret Stronghold, Heavenly Character No. 2.

【01: Are we acting tonight?】

【02: Yes, I’ve got the equipment you sent.】

【01: I’ve pushed hard on my end; the gang alliance still needs at least a week to establish an effective command System. Wanli Gold and Hellfire have already blocked the Black Fire Gang’s borders. A 600-man cleanup squad has entered the Forty-fifth Floor.】

【02: The Black Fire Gang’s core leadership won’t wait for disaster to strike; they will definitely act early. My targets are their Boss and the six core leaders.】

Wang Jixuan looked at the red battery icon in the upper right corner of the square screen.

【02: This thing is running out of power.】

【01: I brought you a new battery; replace it later.】

【02: Anyway, don’t worry. My goal this time is to eliminate that Psychokinesis Spiritualists named Anxi. Are you sure no new Spiritual Energy User have entered the Lower City?】

【01: All entrances and exits are guarded by the cleanup squad. I shamelessly requested a lot of external support for this. I hired a large number of gang members to investigate around the Black Fire Gang’s territory, and I also used the panic within the Black Fire Gang to bribe several mid-level Black Fire Gang cadres. It can be confirmed that there are currently two D-Level Spirit Ability Users and one E-Level Spirit Ability User.】

【02: That’s good. If I take out one D-Level Spirit Ability User, I can wait in the wooden house to ambush them.】

【01: Are you really going to kill your landlady?】

【02: Otherwise? If the prime culprit isn’t eliminated, should I leave her to rise again… Shutdown countdown has begun.】

A flashing countdown appeared on the screen.

The text communicator quickly went dark.

Wang Jixuan carefully placed it back on his two usual clothes.

‘It’s indeed more convenient than a message jade Talisman.’

Then, he took a deep breath and began to check the equipment on his body.

Turned, left the small house, and plunged into the darkness.

He sped along the dark border of the gang territory, rushing towards the Black Fire Gang’s domain, which was fully illuminated and resembled a world of light.

City of Rebirth.

Although it was under full illumination and high alert, the Black Fire Gang, now with less than a thousand subordinates and in a state of panic, could not constantly check every corner of their territory.

They still controlled the streets leading in and out of the City of Rebirth, repeatedly illuminating key areas with searchlights. Dozens of drones hovered beneath the low ‘sky,’ equipped with automatic firearms that would fire directly upon detecting suspicious targets. Several elite snipers were also positioned in major areas, occupying high ground, ready to provide support everywhere.

All of this posed some threat to Wang Jixuan’s actions tonight.

However, after being influenced by the Black Fire Gang Boss’s hidden books, Daoist Wang could now be considered ‘not what he used to be.’

His combat strategy had broadened considerably.

Wang Jixuan moved through the darkness, constantly speeding along the edge of the Black Fire Gang’s territory, entering and exiting corners that appeared to be defended but were actually only briefly illuminated by light.

If his footsteps were outlined with fluorescent agent, one would see that he had covered one-third of the Black Fire Gang’s outer defense line within two hours.

When Wang Jixuan felt he was ready, he once again sneaked into the small building near the Tower, sitting quietly behind a low wall, waiting for the huge beam of the searchlight to sweep over his head.

Act!

Wang Jixuan stood up and jumped back, five miniature grenades flying from his hand!

They were enveloped in wisps of Qi, shooting towards the windows on the third floor of the Tower!

Ping—Boom!

A violent explosion occurred on the third floor of the Tower, physically tearing apart several unlucky individuals responsible for lookout.

A piercing alarm sounded in the City of Rebirth.

Wang Jixuan dared not delay, rushing forward headfirst, sprinting towards the Black Fire Gang border without looking back!

Drones quickly gave chase, and shouts from various places were swiftly drowned out by gunfire.

Two figures leaped from the top floor of the Tower; one figure slammed heavily onto the street, cushioning a few steps before breaking into a sprint, while the other figure…

Hovering in mid-air?

Wang Jixuan’s peripheral vision caught this scene, and his Dao Heart was startled.

Only a Golden Core Realm cultivator can fly; is this a Golden Core Realm expert?

Wang Jixuan focused his gaze, then completely relaxed.

The middle-aged woman hovering in mid-air, like a goddess descended from heaven, with several smooth spherical objects floating around her, flew with elegant posture, but her speed was only slightly faster than an ordinary person running.

That was his target for today.

Psychokinesis Spiritualists, Anxi!

Wang Jixuan leaped and flipped while running, dodging several lines of bullets sweeping towards him, accelerating and accelerating his body, crashing into an uninhabited residence.

He began to sense, mentally count, and countdown.

Three, two, one.

Wang Jixuan’s sword-fingers, held together, slid rapidly!

Within a hundred-meter diameter area, in several narrow passages that were essential routes for the thugs rushing towards this location, pink Talismans simultaneously lit up.

The stick-on explosive packs attached behind the Talismans were awaiting their fate.

【Talisman Art: Hundred Talismans Simultaneous Fixation!】

Explode!

Boom—

Over a hundred fireballs appeared simultaneously in two nearby blocks!

The massive explosion stirred up intertwining waves of Qi, greatly reducing the light in the nearby streets!

Without checking the screams emerging from various places, Wang Jixuan leaped from the second floor of the residence and continued to charge towards the City of Rebirth border like a leopard.

Whoosh!

What a fast sound of cutting through the air!

A surge of Qi coursed through Wang Jixuan’s body, and his rapidly moving figure shifted horizontally.

A silver-white long nail grazed past his cheek, breaking a bit of skin on his face.

Pfft!

The nail easily penetrated the concrete building.

Wang Jixuan’s peripheral vision saw Anxi, the D-Level Spirit Ability User, extending her right hand a hundred meters away. Two spherical objects behind her opened on their own, revealing dense silver alloy needles inside.

Her long hair fluttered, her slender figure and indifferent face seeming to declare that she was the Dominator of this world.

Whoosh!

More than ten needles shot out.

The converging drones fired indiscriminately.

Wang Jixuan, however, was calm and unhurried. He drew a breath inward and activated four Talismans outward, charging dozens of meters without much danger, jumping into the Black Fire Gang thug stronghold he had previously bombed, using the building to block surrounding attacks.

This was his ‘escape’ route that he had studied for a week.

Boom!

The stronghold building suddenly trembled!

Grenade launcher?

Wang Jixuan, who had gained some knowledge of architecture and weaponry, was not flustered at all. He maintained his rhythm, changed his Shen Xing Talisman, sensed, and waited.

Hundred Talismans Detonation!

A violent explosion reappeared, overturning more than a dozen makeshift drones and several pickup trucks simultaneously.

Taking advantage of the explosion’s cover, Wang Jixuan actually darted out from the direction he had entered the small building, as if he was going to rush back towards the Tower.

Bang!

The sound of a small-caliber sniper rifle rang out!

The enemy sniper was in position!

A rapid whooshing sound attacked again!

Needles of unknown material almost outlined Wang Jixuan’s figure.

Wang Jixuan’s charging figure swayed left and right, and twenty-four Vajra Talismans simultaneously lit up, narrowly deflecting two needles.

In the instant of dodging, Wang Jixuan saw the small skateboard Anxi was stepping on;

And Anxi also saw the trace of mockery and disdain that appeared at the corner of Wang Jixuan’s mouth.

Why was he disdainful?

What right did he have to be disdainful!

This military Spiritual Energy User whose energy analysis was only E-level!

Anxi spread her ten fingers, held her breath, and the shattered stones blown open by the previous explosion simultaneously flew up.

“All of you, get out!”

Anxi’s scolding voice spread everywhere.

She suddenly raised her hand and slammed it down, countless shattered stones, carrying bullet-like lethality, covered the area where Wang Jixuan was running!

More than a dozen Black Fire Gang thugs in that area, who were rushing the fastest, simultaneously exploded into bloody mist!

Windows shattered everywhere at the same time!

Wang Jixuan let out a tragic scream… to trick Anxi.

His combat suit was originally procured by Zhou Zhengde at great cost, and the efficacy of the twenty-four Vajra Talismans was still active. Furthermore, with the passage of time, his Dao physique quality had been systematically strengthened by the Spiritual Qi. Being struck by the stones, he only felt a slight pain.

Even so.

Wang Jixuan still secretly crushed a blood pack, sprinkled it on the back of his combat suit, and after several leaps, rushed out of the edge of the light, entering the last ‘haven’ before leaving the illuminated area.

That was a low, single-story house.

Wen Heisen had already rushed over, now expanded into a two-and-a-half-meter tall muscle-and-fascia monster, clutching a heavy machine gun as he charged into the house.

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!

“Ah!”

Wen Heisen’s scream rang out, and his body flew backward like a cannonball, his left arm showing a large, shoe-print-shaped collapse, and his right shoulder having a penetrating wound!

【Magical Artifact: bone-piercing nails】!

Wang Jixuan did not wait long after ambushing Wen Heisen. He kicked apart the corner baffle and rapidly rushed towards the Black Fire Gang’s periphery along the small underground passage he had previously discovered there.

He regretted not being able to directly kill Wen Heisen.

That old Devil Head had quite a lot of Evil Qi.

But it didn’t matter; his main target today, Anxi, had already begun to slowly approach this house.

Because the tunnel was low and narrow, Wang Jixuan could not care about his image at this moment and could only use both hands and feet, with four Shen Xing Talismans rapidly consuming their spiritual power.

Although his movements were clumsy, his speed was truly not slow. In a few breaths, he rushed out of this tunnel, darting out of a small building outside the Black Fire Gang’s border, crashing through a window, and jumping to the second floor.

Gunfire rattled from ahead; the Black Fire Gang began to pour firepower onto that house.

Wang Jixuan crawled on a rooftop more than forty meters away, staring at Anxi, and suddenly threw out three bone-piercing nails with his left hand.

bone-piercing nails had Restrictions carved into them and stored Qi, and their main refining material was the Blade Beast’s exoskeleton.

They did not fly very fast initially. When they were still ten meters from Anxi, Wang Jixuan could no longer accurately control the three bone-piercing nails and could only actively trigger the Restrictions on them.

Chirp! Chirp chirp!

Piercing sounds of cutting through the air came from the darkness, and three bone-piercing nails shot towards Anxi’s forehead.

Anxi suddenly turned her head, her indifferent expression showing a hint of surprise. Her slender left hand rose, and a strange pattern appeared on her forehead.

Psychic Shield!

The incoming bone-piercing nails, capable of piercing Wen Heisen’s demonic body, barely stopped in front of Anxi’s hand, trembling violently.

Anxi’s expression turned to mockery.

Is that all?

Then, she lowered her left hand, looked towards the source from which the bone-piercing nails had been fired, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a red light.

That seemed to be the red light of an automatic aiming device.

【Magical Artifact: Squad AMR-22 Anti-Material Sniper Rifle】.

Wang Jixuan lay behind the thirty-centimeter-long automatic aiming scope, his Dao Heart firm as he pulled the trigger.

Thud!
