Chapter 133 The Blind Mouse That Wanders Around

Under the gaze of the peony:

A light gray light appeared around Wang Jixuan.

The light gradually increased, and the densely packed skeletons of the bladed beasts around him began to tremble.

Drops of emerald green blood floated from the pile of bladed beast corpses, forming a suspended stream that surged towards Wang Jixuan. As soon as this bladed beast blood approached Wang Jixuan, its spiritual essence vanished, turning into pink liquid that spilled onto the ground.

Soon, the light gray light around Wang Jixuan surged like the tide, gradually filling the smoke-filled area.

The corpses of these bladed beasts shrank at a visible rate.

Peony turned to look outside and cleverly chose to delete that part of the data.

In this way, she wouldn’t have to simulate an emotion called “【dilemma】” regarding loyalty to her superior and potential issues such as access to war zone data later on.

Peonies don’t like to get caught up in things.

Wang Jixuan’s body was trembling.

Strands of pure blood energy flowed into his body along with the light gray light, penetrating his nostrils and the pores of his skin.

The energy vortex in the dantian continued to expand as this blood energy flowed in;

The primordial spirit within the Niwan Palace is rapidly condensing.

One advantage of the blood energy originating from the Blade Beast is that they have no resentment.

The remnants of the Blade Beasts’ souls, along with the resentment mixed within them, are hidden within their crystal cores.

About half an hour later.

Wang Jixuan opened his mouth and exhaled a large breath of turbid air; he had already mastered the Dragon Python Devouring Heaven Technique!

A strange, serpentine phantom, the size of an earthworm and resembling both a dragon and a python, emerged from between his eyebrows, slowly coiling around his body and actively absorbing the blood energy drifting from the surroundings, rapidly growing larger.

Wang Jixuan held the object flat with both hands.

One by one, crystal nuclei flew out from the withered flesh and blood.

He suddenly clenched his fists.

Ping!

Hundreds of crystal cores exploded simultaneously!

The rich spiritual energy turned directly into white mist!

The thick fog on the outside surged inward, forming a simple, spiritually enclosed chamber.

The roars assaulted Wang Jixuan’s Dao heart;

The remnant souls of over a hundred Blade Beasts surged back and forth in the white mist!

They flew towards Wang Jixuan together, but were blocked by the gray light surrounding Wang Jixuan. Meanwhile, the strange snake had already entered the white mist, opened its mouth and swallowed the remnant soul of a blade beast, and its body suddenly swelled up.

The hunt has officially begun.

The strange snake lunged left and right, relentlessly hunting the remnants of bladed beasts within the white mist.

Wang Jixuan’s pores opened, frantically absorbing the surrounding white mist. In just a few minutes, his body began to feel bloated and painful.

Did we take too big a step?

For Master Wang, who transitioned to Mahayana Buddhism, this kind of problem simply doesn’t exist!

If we’re going to take a shortcut, let’s see it through to the end!

Twelve silver needles flew out of Wang Jixuan’s short-sleeved pocket. The needles hovered outside the major acupoints on his body and, guided by his sword fingers, suddenly pierced into his body.

The meridians are wide open!

Body and soul united!

Thick white fog rushed in!

Drops of blood seeped from his body, and this blood quickly formed scabs, while the essence within was directly absorbed back into his body by this domineering technique.

Wang Jixuan quickly became covered in blood.

This continued for less than half an hour until the last wisp of white mist slowly entered his body.

A flat-headed, semi-transparent python with faint scales and a wisp of black smoke inside its body slowly swam around Wang Jixuan.

It looked like it was letting out a soft hiccup, and antler-like growths appeared on its forehead.

This is the transformation of the dragon and python.

As his cultivation deepens and his primordial spirit strengthens, this monstrous python will gradually transform; if Wang Jixuan can once again enter the Mahayana stage, this monstrous python will transform into a black-scaled true dragon.

At this moment, the monstrous python slowly coiled around Wang Jixuan’s arm, transforming into a semi-transparent tattoo.

This is the sign of entering the Dragon Python Devouring Heaven Technique, and also the core of this demonic sect’s auxiliary cultivation method.

Wang Jixuan stood up, feeling completely relaxed. His internal energy sea had increased dramatically, and strands of blood energy were nourishing his body. His primordial soul in his Niwan Palace had begun to take shape.

Therefore, it won’t take more than ten days.

As long as there are enough fresh Blade Beasts, he can enter the Returning to Truth Realm in three to five days, and his Dao Foundation will not suffer too much loss!

‘If I use demonic cultivation techniques to assist my righteous cultivation methods, am I a demonic cultivator or a celestial cultivator?’

Master Wang sighed softly, his hands clasped behind his back.

“Peony, tell them to get more Blade Beasts. I can use twice the amount every day.”

“Yes, sir!”

“These exoskeletons of the Blade Beasts will come in handy later.”

As the surrounding smoke dissipated, Wang Jixuan murmured, “It’s really nice to be taken care of by the war zone,” and strolled into the gray building that had been ‘completed ahead of schedule’.

Uncle Tai has been waiting for him for a long time.

The experimental data for the lightning-inducing method has been almost collected, and it is just waiting for Wang Jixuan to make the final adjustments.

Four days and five nights later, a series of good news came from this studio to the D5 war zone command center.

…

Fu Jian stared at the glowing dots on the war zone map sand table, not saying a word for half an hour.

The six fronts contained a great deal of information, and even he, the old commander, had to think it over and over again before he could give orders.

The second-generation half-human mech, Black Shell, quickly approached from the side and said a few words to Fu Jian from behind.

Fu Jian stopped thinking and turned to look at his old comrade: “Really?”

“Of course it is,” Black Shell said. “They have solved the mass production of daggers and are already working on the grinding boxes. The first batch of daggers will be sent to the front line in four days, numbering between three and five thousand. They shouldn’t be of much use in this war.”

Fu Jian smiled and said, “Something is better than nothing. We should prioritize equipping the elite assault teams of each unit.”

“Also, they said they can deliver about sixty crystal core greatswords of average quality in five days.”

“That kid said it himself?”

“Yes.”

“Assign it to the cyborg mech unit and have him make a simple instruction manual so that he can master its use as soon as possible.”

“In addition, there will be three hundred sets of discs that use crystal core energy to counteract the mental impact of the Blade Beast, the same type used by Ling Tong.”

Fu Jian frowned and asked, “Then, what is the price? Did Wang Zheng mention what he needs to exchange for these things?”

“Blade beast corpses, as long as he has enough fresh blade beast corpses.”

The black seashell said in a deep voice:

“The Psionic Capital is already investigating our collection of Blade Beast corpses on the edge of the battlefield. They are becoming increasingly sensitive to the traces of crystal cores.”

“Moreover, Commander-in-Chief, a great war is about to break out. The number of Blade Beasts that have been discovered is already quite astonishing. Should we seek help from the City of Spiritual Energy?”

“The defenses might really not hold.”

Fu Jian remained silent, gazing at the three-dimensional sand table.

If they don’t ask the Psionic City for help, the D5 war zone will suffer much greater losses. They need to prepare many things in advance to fight against this Blade Beast tide.

If they seek help from the Psionic City, the Psionic Zone of Fortress 76, which they have worked so hard to build, will most likely be ruined.

Those parasites will inevitably make all sorts of demands.

“Without seeking, directly activate one-third of the autonomous legions; there’s no need to wait any longer.”

“But Commander-in-Chief, that’s what we’re using to wipe out the ruling faction in the Psionic Capital…”

Fu Jian said firmly, “As long as we can win this battle, it will take at least half a year for the Blade Beasts to gather enough numbers around D5… In comparison, the danger of letting the Psionic Capital get involved is much greater.”

“yes!”

The instructor in black raised his hand in salute.

Fu Jian closed his eyes and sighed slowly.

The odds of winning this high-stakes gamble remain uncertain.

…

【Xiao Zhou (Tears Behind Bars): The situation is a bit bad. Six King-level Blade Beasts, leading six Blade Beast groups, totaling 2.5 million Blade Beasts, are gathering in the shallow ground outside the defensive line. They should be fully assembled in about three days.】

【Wang Zheng (Light of the Righteous Path): Is the intersection point of the lines connecting the six beast hordes still 82?】

【Xiao Zhou: Hmm, nothing’s changed. They’re probably heading for 82 to find the Black Storm. The constant elimination of the Brain-Eating Worms is clearly impacting the Blade Beasts’ intelligence network; they don’t know you arrived at 76 a few days ago.】

【Wang Zheng: Are we manpower sufficient?】

【Ling Tong (who does housework): That’s enough. The Commander-in-Chief just issued an order to activate the dormant autonomous mechanized legions and to prepare the twelve fortresses to mobilize contract soldiers. If problems arise on the front lines, contract soldiers will be produced. Our material and military reserves are sufficient to cope with the intensity of this war.】

【Xiao Zhou: What I’m actually worried about is the Psionic Capital stirring up trouble behind the scenes.】

【Old Zheng (Lawful Good): It’s very possible that the Psionic City and D5 are actually rivals. They always take advantage of your weakness to make you sign all sorts of disgusting treaties.】

【Ling Tong: We probably won’t ask the psychic capital for help.】

【Wang Zheng: How long does it take to get from Fortress 76 to Fortress 82 at the fastest speed?】

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

【Ling Tong: The fastest aircraft, about eighteen or nineteen minutes.】

【Wang Zheng: That’s good. If they can’t hold out, we’ll go and provide support. After all, the Blade Beast is looking for me.】

【Ling Tong: The more the Blade Beasts want to find you, the more we need to hide you. Shouldn’t that be the logical thing to do?】

【Wang Zheng: You’re right, but I might feel uneasy about it. Besides, we worked together to take down an S-rank psionicist last time; this time, we might be able to join forces to take down an even stronger bladed beast. We have the entire war zone behind us.】

“that……”

Inside the workshop on the seventh floor of Fortress 76.

Zheng Shiduo, who was carving a Bagua plate, looked up at the two people sitting on the sofa and muttered, “Why don’t you two chat alone? That would save some electricity.”

Ling Tong calmly put down the communicator and turned to look at the empty space beside her.

Wearing only a pair of shorts and a colorful towel around his neck, Master Wang smiled and raised his eyebrows. A light gray python tattoo had appeared on his right shoulder and right arm.

Wang Jixuan said, “I’ll continue dealing with the Blade Beasts. I should be able to improve a bit today. Keep up the good work, everyone!”

Behind a row of workbenches, the busy people looked up and revealed bitter smiles. They all had dark circles under their eyes and pale faces, having stayed up for more than two nights in a row on average.

Wan Xiaoqi couldn’t help but complain, “We shouldn’t have mentioned so many numbers! We’re almost exhausted! This isn’t how you work like a beast of burden!”

Uncle Tai frowned and scolded, “The more we produce here, the better our chances of winning on the front lines. Every piece of equipment you’re making might save a bunch of lives. Get to work! Stop complaining!”

Wan Xiaoqi pouted and made a face before continuing to work with her head down.

Not far away, a closed box resembling a CNC machine tool was flashing with electricity, and batches of daggers were being activated.

Master Wang climbed straight out of the second-floor window and landed in the “grand array” of bladed beast corpses that Peony had set up for him, where he sat cross-legged in meditation.

“Peony, activate a holographic shield.”

Wearing a dirty repair uniform, Peony did as instructed, sighing weakly, “Sir…”

“Hmm? You’re tired too?”

“Peony doesn’t have a fatigue system.”

“And why are you making that expression?”

“I just think peonies are dirty.”

“Temporarily reset your system to zero if you find it dirty.”

“yes!”

A halo of light appeared in the peony’s eyes, and then she immediately raised her head and stood up straight, her curves quite beautiful.

“Peony is now a master at cleaning up dirt!”

Master Wang:…

It doesn’t feel the same as before.

Calm your mind.

With the Blade Beasts about to attack, breaking through to the next level is of paramount importance. Although reaching the True Realm will not allow him to directly confront King-level Blade Beasts, his overall strength will be greatly enhanced. Combined with the X Armor and various other equipment, his combat power will naturally rise significantly.

Having a sword but not using it, and having no sword in hand, are two different things.

Dragon and python devour the sky!

A gray light emanated from Wang Jixuan’s body, and the light gray serpent on his shoulder slowly slithered out, stirring up the surrounding corpses of bladed beasts.

Breakthrough in the Dao Realm, today is the day!

…

Meanwhile, outside Fort 76, inside a sand-submerged armored vehicle.

Two men, one tall and one short, were observing the structure of Fort 76 through a projector in front of them.

The tall man, named Ji Heibao, frowned and muttered, “Is your method really reliable?”

The short man 【Ji Xiao】 sneered: “Ji Yale and Ding Jiajia’s signals have both disappeared near Fortress 82. Do you dare to go there? I certainly don’t.”

“I don’t know what’s wrong with them either. They usually back down when something happens, but this time they’re so eager to attack.”

—Clearly, these are the other two students of Xing Tian that Ji Yale described.

Ji Heibao snorted heavily: “That old scoundrel Ji Yale is probably up to something! They’re probably hiding, waiting for us to fight to the death with the D5 war zone’s centaur mechs before they jump out and take advantage of us.”

“That can’t be right, they’re both usually very easygoing and don’t like to fight with anyone.”

Ji Xiao curled her lip in disapproval:

“Those three guys are despicable. They just hid outside, saying they were going to lure out the Blade Beast horde. Do you think the Blade Beast horde is so easily lured out? Do you think the D5 commander-in-chief is a nobody? Their frontline firepower is the most intense in all the war zones!”

Ji Heibao nodded: “Alright, we’ll do it your way.”

“Okay, remember, use my ability to sneak in later, cause some minor damage, kill a hundred or so of them at most, and then retreat as soon as their humanoid mechs arrive.”

Ji Xiao’s lips curled into a smug smile:

“As long as we fight the humanoid mechs and take a few photos, we can go back and report.”

“Their current defensive focus is definitely on Fortress 82. Fortress 76 next to 82 should be quite lax. They drove out psionicists here before, so we can take this opportunity to retaliate.”

“Hey! Maybe we can play for half a day!”

Ji Heibao squinted and said, “If you find a girl who weighs over 200 pounds, don’t try to take her from me. I only like this kind.”

Ji Xiao looked disgusted: “What kind of weird quirks are these!”

“Hello? You only target married older women! I just like voluptuous women! You have no idea how beautiful 200 pounds and 1.5 meters tall really are!”

“Put on your gear! Damn it! You’re disgusting me! I can only use this ability to carry people twice a day, so try not to get separated.”

“No big deal, just a fortress. We can easily wipe them out!”

The two donned matching silver-blue combat suits, fastened their holographic belts, and walked to the window of the sand-submersible vehicle. The shorter Ji Xiao reached out and grabbed the taller Ji Heibao’s arm, and both of them were instantly enveloped in an earthy-yellow light, merging directly into the sand.

If Wang Jixuan were here, he would definitely exclaim in surprise, “Earth Escape!”

About three minutes later, outside the corner of the fourth floor of the fortress, two figures stealthily emerged from the stone wall and began to fall downwards.

Ji Heibao grabbed Ji Xiao, and the two brothers activated their holographic belts at the same time, leaving only two faint outlines in the air before landing steadily on the ground.

“Where to go next?”

“Just pick a direction… Hmm, something’s not right?”

Ji Heibao frowned and looked down at the ground.

He suddenly sensed a seemingly ordinary psionic energy fluctuation rapidly increasing.

What’s going on? There’s a Class C psionicist here? Didn’t they say they had already expelled the psionicists from Fortress 76?

“Let’s go down and take a look.”
