Song Jian looked at the silver-quality skill scroll in his hand, Ins eyebrows furrowed, “Spiritual Sword Control Technique? What the heck is that?”

“Spiritual Sword Control Technique (Activated), Level 1, Skill Effect: Conjure a Spirit Sword, causing 150 points of Spirit Damage to a specified range of targets; Cooldown time: 30 seconds; Skill cost: 30 Spirit Points;”

“Hiss, isn’t this just the dirt-poor version of the Eight Directions Soul Extinguishing Sword used by the Boss?” After reading about this sword technique, Song Jian couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. Nevertheless, he ultimately chose to learn it. The scroll turned into a silver light and disappeared. In Song Jian’s skill column, “Spiritual Sword Control Technique” was added, pushing his main quest another step further.

With a thought, Song Jian swung his sword forward. His Spirit Points decreased by 30 points, and a translucent longsword gradually condensed above his head. “Damn, this is ridiculous. They said it was instant, but the time it takes to form is too fucking long. It’s been at least three seconds. My expression can’t even keep up…”

After the Spirit Sword finished forming, Song Jian discovered that he seemed to be able to control this longsword, as if controlling his own limbs.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-

Song Jian controlled the long sword, slashing and swinging it through the air. No one could see the sword, making it a perfect method for sneak attacks.

However, just as Song Jian was overjoyed, the Spirit Sword hovering in the air exploded without warning. The explosion left his ears ringing, and it felt as if his brain had been hit by a heavy hammer, leaving him dizzy.

System: You’ve suffered a backlash from the “Spiritual Sword Control

Technique,” taking 150 points of Spirit Damage.

“Hiss, this Spirit Sword is unstable. How did it explode suddenly? Thank God I have a lot of Vitality Points, otherwise, I could have just lulled myself…” Song Jian wiped the blood from his nose and thought grumpily.

On the side, Feng Kai held a silver longsword, his face reflecting his indecision. The double-handed sword was clearly superior to his lance, but he didn’t have a matching sword technique. To maximize the power of the longsword, he would need to study a matching sword technique.

The double-handed sword conflicted with his lance. Both can only be selected as the main weapon, and it was hard for Feng Kai to decide.

Song Jian bid Feng Kai a casual farewell, dissolved the temporary partnership, and headed towards the area filled with level 20 creatures on his own.

Meanwhile, his slave Qi Yun hadn’t returned to Manor Castle and was stopped

by a man in a black cloak.

“Captain, how come you’re here? I thought you’d already left this city…” Qi Yun said, surprised at the sight of a gloomy Ma Jiang.

Ma Jiang had abandoned him in the beginning, which had made Qi Yun angry.

But after thinking about it, if Ma Jiang had chosen to save him, both of them would’ve been unable to escape. They would either both become Song Jian’s “slaves,” or both be killed by him.

“Qi Yun, are you really willing to be his slave? Even if he is God’s chosen one!”

A hatred flared in Ma Jiang’s eyes.

“Captain, he’s too powerful. We are no match for him. The information collected by the Gathering Area 101 was drastically incorrect…” Qi Yun shook his head.

“It’s not that the information was incorrect, Qi Yun. We had also confirmed it on the battle scene, and his strength when he killed the vanguard team should not be much different from the information…” Ma Jiang stared into Qi Yun’s eyes, “It is just that the level of God’s chosen ones is rising too fast. They can level up themselves by hunting monsters, while we can only slowly cultivate our power.”

“Captain, are you saying that Song Jian has grown from a common level five or six person to a careerist in just over half a month?” Qi Yun’s face showed a shocked expression.

“It’s not impossible, Qi Yun!” Ma Jiang stepped forward, clutching his shoulder, “He has now become an archenemy of Gathering Area 101. If I report the situation now, by the time the next execution squad is sent, who knows how much he will have grown. Time is too crucial for us. Gathering Area 101 is our home, don’t forget that your son is also in it…”

Qi Yun shivered, his face reflecting the struggle within him: “Captain, but I…” “Qi Yun, once you kill him, you can be released from being a slave. He is only level thirteen now, and we still have a chance. If he continues to grow, we won’t stand a chance.” Ma Jiang slapped Qi Yun’s shoulder heavily, his face showing an expression of disappointment.

Qi Yun’s innocent son came to his mind. If Ma Jiang reported the full process of this pursuit to Gathering Area 101 and they found out about his becoming Song Jian’s slave, his son would surely not survive.

The thought broke something inside Qi Yun. He looked at Ma Jiang and nodded. “Captain, I’ll do whatever you tell me to.”

A satisfied smile spread over Ma Jiang’s face.

“With our current strength, no, even with the full squad, we may not be his opponent. However, before entering the city, I bought a bunch of information about Doomsday City in the black market!” A strange smile appeared on Ma Jiang’s face, “In the eyes of others, this city is known as Zombie City, but to me, it’s an undeveloped treasure. Do you remember the Zeus Shield Company?” “Zeus Shield Company?” Qi Yun trembled. Before the great doomsday disaster, it was the most famous company worldwide. Their Gene Modification Liquid could make an ordinary person instantly possess superpowers and become a powerful genetic warrior.

“This city has a branch of the Zeus Shield Company; they must have stored plenty of Gene Modification Liquid. As long as we can obtain it, we will instantly gain great power. Killing a level thirteen Chosen One wouldn’t be a big deal at all,” said Ma Jiang fanatically.

One of the reasons he had accepted this assassination mission was for the Zeus Shield Company branch’s Gene Modification Liquid. He had originally planned to raid the company after completing the mission, but things had not gone as he had imagined…

“Captain, I’ll listen to you!” Qi Yun was well aware of the power of Gene Modification Liquid. His eyes suddenly lit up.

Looking at Qi Yun, Ma Jiang’s face held a trace of a smile. Mentioning Qi Yun’s son was a threat, but mentioning the Gene Modification Liquid was an outright bribery. After all, Qi Yun was forced to be a Chosen One’s slave. As long as there was hope, he could be won over. And indeed, he succeeded!

At the same time, Song Jian, who was running towards the area with level twenty creatures, suddenly received a system prompt.

System: Your slave Qi Yun’s loyalty to you has decreased by 30 points. He could betray you at any moment.

“Betraying?” Song Jian’s face darkened. Initially, since the other party was a healer, he thought Qi Yun had potential. He didn’t expect him to decide to betray him eventually.

“Don’t get it. Wiry would he betray me? Could it be that….” Song Jian immediately thought of another person who escaped from their team, reportedly their captain.

“If they insist on refusing to repent, they might as well die.” Song Jian smirked coldly, not worrying about Qi Yun’s betrayal. He just continued to rush in the direction indicated by the task map.
