This was the fastest way Xiao Shi could think of to kill the other party. Earlier, during the recovery process of the Recovery Pill, he had already secretly condensed a mark on the Black Gold Sword.
However, it was not a mark condensed from his own blood and qi. Instead, he condensed the remaining Blood Corrosion into the black gold sword, forming a mark.
As such, when the mark exploded, every fragment would be stained with the poison that corroded the blood.
Unless Mu Zhang could dodge all the flying fragments, once any fragments pierced his body and touched his blood, he would be corroded.
Although this would destroy the Black Gold Sword, this was the only way to kill the other party quickly. From the moment he fought this person, Xiao Shi realized that he had to end this battle quickly and not delay.
If another ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level came, it was impossible for him to still have the ability to kill it.
"I have to go now!"
Xiao Shi did not dare to stay here for too long.
As quickly as possible, he picked up the items dropped by the other party after his death. Although he was very curious about the items dropped by a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist after their death, he knew that now was not the time to check.
He threw the item into his storage bag and carried the unconscious woman on the ground. He used his movement technique, Arc Flash, and left this place as quickly as possible.
While running, Xiao Shi did not dare to slow down at all. This was because he did not know if the other experts of the Glazed Moon Mountain would choose to chase after him after seeing Mu Zhang's death.
After all, there was a certain distance between the Glazed Moon Mountain and the Golden Cloud City. If he was too slow and was caught, it would be bad.
Xiao Shi ran madly. He was constantly paying attention to the wind and grass behind him. He was tense and did not dare to be careless at all.
He ran from late at night to early morning. As the sky brightened, he finally returned to Golden Cloud City safely.
"I'm safe." Until this moment, Xiao Shi heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as he returned to Golden Cloud City, he would no longer have to worry. Even the Qi Martial Realm experts of the Glazed Moon Mountain did not dare to brazenly come to the Golden Cloud City to kill.
Xiao Shi carried the unconscious woman all the way back to the Night Patrol Division. While handing the woman over, he also gave a simple report on the mission. The report naturally hid the fact that he had killed a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level powerhouse.
And the Night Patrol Division wouldn't ask too much about the details. They only needed to understand a general situation.
Xiao Shi did not have to worry about exposing anything. The next step was to wait for the Night Patrol Division to verify the information before finalizing the mission.
"It's finally done." After Xiao Shi returned to his room, he collapsed on the bed.
Recalling his experience in this mission, he could not help but sigh at the danger and difficulty of this mission.
Although the difficulty was Level 2, based on the situation in the mission, it was definitely at Level 1. After all, even a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level was mobilized in the end.
Not to mention the new night patrollers, even those with certain qualifications could not complete such a mission.
"Fortunately, I have accumulated a lot of items. Otherwise, I would definitely fail this time."
Xiao Shi was very emotional about this. Through the battle with a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist, he had truly witnessed how terrifying a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist was.
At the other levels of the Martial Entry-Level, there might be situations where one could kill someone above their level. But if he wanted to kill a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist, it was almost impossible!
The reason why Xiao Shi was able to kill the other party this time was not because of his individual strength, but because of the items he had obtained from the kills before.
These items were not ordinary items.
Especially the Blood Corrosion. Its lethality was extremely shocking, and the restraining effect was quite obvious.
However, in this battle, he had used up the entire bottle of Blood Corrosion. At the same time, he had also used the only Peerless Recovery Pill and scrapped the Martial Entry-Level Black Gold Sword.
Fortunately, he had gained a lot this time.
The first was the item dropped by a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist after their death.
Although Xiao Shi had yet to check, he knew that the stronger a Martial Entry-Level martial artist was, the easier it was for them to drop high-quality items after death. He believed that the items dropped after a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist died would definitely be valuable.
Besides, there were also items in his storage bag that he did not have the time to check when he killed the old man in black. There were also items that dropped after the bandits who tried to stop him and were killed by him when he went down the mountain.
Xiao Shi did a rough calculation.
There were a total of six items that had not been checked.
This made him quickly sit up from the bed in anticipation, planning to take a good look at his gains this time.
Through the battle with the ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level powerhouse, he had truly experienced the power and benefits of these items, and his heart was filled with even more anticipation and desire.
"Let's see what kind of items they have!"
Xiao Shi took out the items in his storage bag that he had not checked in time.
The first thing he took out was a long bottle.
Xiao Shi remembered that this was an item that dropped after he killed that black-clothed old man. However, in order to test if the chief could see it, he did not check this item.
At this moment, under his serious inspection, information about the item immediately appeared in his vision.
[Name: Water of Transmigration]
[Type: Treasures of Heaven and Earth]
[Grade: Martial Entry-Level]
[Introduction: Water from Tianshan Mountain. Cold and bone-chilling.]
[Remark: Don't use it if you don't have a strong enough body. You will be frozen into an ice sculpture.]
...
Xiao Shi's eyes lit up.
Finally, another heavenly treasure dropped. This way, he could continue to temper his body with natural treasures.
During this battle with a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level powerhouse, Xiao Shi also felt the benefits of body tempering. If it wasn't for his powerful body after body tempering, even with these items, it would be impossible for him to kill that ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level powerhouse.
Just a few attacks from the other party was already unbearable. He would not have the chance to splash the Blood Corrosion on the other party.
Xiao Shi was looking forward to what kind of improvement he would obtain after the next body tempering.
In his excitement, Xiao Shi took out the second item.
It was a black stone more than a meter long. It was extremely heavy.
[Name: Black Ink Stone]
[Type: Materials]
[Grade: Martial Entry-Level]
[Introduction: An astonishingly heavy inkstone, usually used mainly for weapon forging.]
[Remark: It's really very, very heavy!]
...
Xiao Shi's eyes lit up.
Although he did not know how to forge, this black ink stone had different uses in his hands. For example, condensing this black ink stone into a mark and adding it to a weapon.
This way, the weapon could obtain the astonishing weight of the black ink stone!
If there were special circumstances that required detonation, each fragment would contain a terrifying weight, increasing the lethality.
Xiao Shi took out the third item.
[Name: Ling Jian Grass]
[Type: Materials]
[Grade: Martial Entry-Level]
[Introduction: A rare spiritual herb that looks like a sword and is abnormally sharp. It can be used for forging.]
[Remark: If it wasn't so soft, it could be used as a sword.]
...
Xiao Shi looked at the sword-shaped grass. The entire grass was about a meter long and had sharp edges.
Xiao Shi tried to draw a line on the ground. The hard floor tiles were easily cut open like tofu. Its sharpness was even stronger than the black gold sword from before.
"If I can condense it into a mark, its sharpness will definitely increase greatly!" Xiao Shi thought to himself as he took out the fourth item.
[Name: Enemy Seeking Talisman]
[Type: Talisman]
[Grade: Martial Entry-Level]
[Introduction: Can detect hostility.]
[Remark 1: By attaching it to your body, you can detect all hostility within 300 meters.]
[Remark 2: When you can't see through a person's heart, perhaps you can use it to see who the enemy is.]
...
Xiao Shi looked at the fifth item.
[Name: Comprehension Pill (Rare)]
[Type: Pill]
[Grade: Martial Entry-Level]
[Introduction: A pill that can increase one's comprehension.]
[Remark: Comprehension is also an important indicator of a genius.]
...
"Unfortunately, it's only a rare quality." Xiao Shi sighed in his heart.
The Comprehension Pill that dropped this time was only rare in terms of quality. It did not reach the highest peerless quality.
Xiao Shi knew that this was mainly because the Comprehension Pill was dropped by an ordinary bandit and his strength was not high. Only the stronger one was, the better the quality of the items dropped.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi looked at the last item. It was also the item he was looking forward to the most.
This was an item dropped by a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist after his death.
