I can find treasures in my dreams.

When Yang Fan heard the mermaid praise him for having "very keen intuition," he simply smiled and said, "When I first saw the manor, I had a feeling that I wasn't quite right, but I couldn't quite put my finger on why."

He knew perfectly well that by activating so many supernatural abilities and mastering five primordial celestial phenomena, his soul had become very special, which was why he exhibited such extraordinary sensitivity.

Miss Jia Na nodded slightly: "Any abnormality felt by a superhuman is very likely due to the soul being touched by an external force. Your caution is absolutely correct."

Yang Fan thought about the "heavy footsteps" the middle-aged woman had mentioned earlier, and a thought came to mind.

His immediate thought was of the missing component of the high-grade treasure—the full-body armor.

The full suit of armor is made of metal and usually weighs between 25 and 30 kilograms. Naturally, the sound of footsteps when walking is not quiet.

The problem is that supreme treasures are derivatives of primordial laws, and even high-level supreme treasures are no exception; they cannot move on their own.

Therefore, there is only one answer—someone dressed in full armor was walking around in Sir Grant's bedroom.

Who will this person be?
Various thoughts rushed through Yang Fan's mind: "Although high-level treasures are sets, they cannot be activated by different people. Since I obtained the Dragon Abyss Shield, it is impossible for a second person to activate the full set of armor."

"So when this person put on full armor, it was no different from ordinary armor. Something strange must have happened to him to appear in Sir Grant's bedroom in the middle of the night, which eventually led to the Sir's mysterious disappearance."

"Sir Affleck, whom I investigated earlier, disappeared a few days before Sir Grant, who then heard heavy footsteps while sleeping."

"Following the timeline, could it be that after Sir Affleck disappeared, he somehow donned full armor and took Sir Grant away?"

The two knights were connected because of their full suits of armor, which is logically entirely possible.

Yang Fan's eyes flickered, and more thoughts came to mind: "It seems that the full-body armor has undergone an unexpected change, and it may no longer be an inanimate object."

"Judging from the behavior, I feel that it was not Sir Affleck who found Sir Grant, but rather that the full-armored knights found the two knights one after the other and then took them away one after the other."

At this time.

Miss Jia Na interrupted his thoughts: "What should we do now?"

Yang Fan stood on the roof of a six-story building, looking down at the dark manor in the distance, and said softly, "This manor is not to be entered. I suspect there is a trap inside targeting me."

Due to Sir Grant's mysterious disappearance, the manor has been temporarily closed and is now completely dark, with no one living there.

He had a vague guess in his mind, but the guess was so astonishing that he himself could hardly believe it.

Miss Jia Na blinked her beautiful eyes: "A trap for you?"

The mermaid pondered the reason in her heart and suggested, "Then let's destroy the manor?"

Yang Fan thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's one way!"

If he wasn't mistaken, he knew an inescapable battle awaited him.

The manor is a battleground that benefits the opponent, so it should be destroyed so that a new battleground can be chosen that benefits oneself.

Yang Fan moved his right hand and took out a specially made communicator, and slowly said, "I am Ghost. I request that Lingxiao Palace carry out a ground attack mission on a certain location within the territory of the Blue Lion Kingdom."

A strong, clear voice immediately came from the other end: "Mr. Ghost, please give your instructions!"

In the following period of time, a series of events occurred.

Thirty seconds later.

The Great Xia Foreign Affairs Department urgently contacted the Blue Lion Kingdom, stating that a very dangerous mutated monster had been discovered in Berkshire.

Given the large number of Great Xia citizens currently residing in the Blue Lion Kingdom, in order to protect its own people, Great Xia will utilize the Lingxiao Palace's space-based strike weapons to conduct an emergency strike mission against the target area.

The blue lion hesitated for a moment, then asked to share more detailed information about the mutated monster.

The Great Xia decisively refused, stating firmly that this was a mission that had to be carried out because the Great Xia did not believe that the Blue Lion Kingdom was capable of protecting the safety of the Great Xia people.

The Blue Lionman felt embarrassed and gave in once again.

Even if it was their own territory that was attacked, the Blue Lion Kingdom dared not easily say "no".

However, they have already knelt before the Great Xia many times, and now they seem to have gotten used to it.

One minute later.

In the vast expanse of space, the five Lingxiao Towers entered their designated positions, completing the adjustment of their posture.
More than 200 Ruyi Jingu Bang gravity strike weapons were rapidly deployed, falling in droves towards the Azure Star below.

Fifteen minutes later.

Yang Fan looked up and saw streaks of crimson fire descending from the sky at more than thirty times the speed of sound, striking the manor and the surrounding area.

The gravity anchor engine inside the golden cudgel instantly unleashed terrifying power.

"Boom! Boom!"

A series of muffled thunderclaps swept across the surrounding area in an instant.

Almost instantly, the entire manor "sank" underground, and everything inside was crushed into dust.

Centered on the manor, within a radius of 200 meters, the area has "sunk" by an average of more than 10 meters, with the deepest point reaching 20 meters.

The tremors caused by the rapid collapse of the ground instantly spread throughout Berkshire.

The astonishing sight of the manor vanishing in an instant was captured by a drone, and the electromagnetic signal was immediately transmitted to the Blue Lion Kingdom's national defense center.

This drone is also an imported product from Daxia. Not only does it have a battery life of more than a week, but it also has a series of impressive features such as visual stealth, ultra-high-definition night vision, powerful infrared scanning, and intelligent target tracking.

The Blue Lion military was extremely satisfied with it. Although the price was relatively high, exceeding 1000 million yuan per unit, the Blue Lions still purchased as many as 1500 units in one go.

In any case, the kingdom has abundant coal reserves. In the past two years, many mutated coal mines have been discovered, and the kingdom has also mastered the technology for refining supernatural materials from them. It has made a lot of money by exporting first-class exotic materials.

At this moment.

Several senior Blue Lion officers were speechless with shock as they watched the terrifying effects of the gravity-based weapon on the big screen.

Although they had all heard of the "Golden Cudgel," witnessing firsthand its immense power—capable of striking any location on the globe within fifteen minutes—still left them quite shaken.

One second passed.

A lieutenant colonel grumbled indignantly, "This is the Blue Lion Kingdom! The Great Xia people have gone too far!"

Although the foreign affairs department agreed to Da Xia's request, it does not mean that the Blue Lion military has no objections.

A general standing nearby sighed, "Such complaints are pointless. The power of the Great Xia alone is greater than that of any other country combined. They have the ability to do whatever they want."

All the officers fell silent.

Compared to ordinary people, they understand better that "might makes right".

*
At the same time. Berkshire.

The powerful supernatural strike successfully achieved the goal of "stirring up trouble".

After all, if the "grass" is gone, how can the "snake" still hide?
Yang Fan's eyes widened in shock.

Although he had a vague suspicion, he was still quite shocked when the event actually unfolded as expected.

Bond!

It's Bond!
It was Bond who was the first to obtain the Warhorse Shield, and was then forcibly killed and robbed of the treasure!

this moment.

Yang Fan watched as a gleaming full suit of armor burst forth from the ground where the manor had originally stood.

With his extremely keen senses, he instantly sensed a familiar aura hidden within his full suit of armor.

He naturally figured everything out: "Back then, in order to seize the Warhorse Shield, I used the Soul Flame secret technique of the 'Blue Sheep Book' to refine Bond's soul into soul essence."

"Most likely, when Bond was dying, he miraculously activated the resonance of the Supreme Set, establishing a channel of law between the Warhorse Shield and the full-body armor."

"A part of Bond's soul entered the full-body armor through the law channel, and this high-grade treasure is a defensive treasure, which most likely happens to have the effect of protecting the soul."

"Even if the physical body is completely destroyed, the full-body armor can still protect the soul from destruction, so Bond survived."

"The full-body armor should also have a characteristic that allows it to control the artifact in the form of a soul, which is why Bond can move automatically."

"Bond probably anticipated that I would come looking for him sooner or later, and the two knights were the only clue. I would definitely try to find them."

"So Bond secretly killed the two knights and deliberately staged it as a bizarre event, then set a trap in the manor, waiting for me to walk right into it."

Yang Fan really didn't expect that after fighting Bond once before, he would have to fight him again today.

"Keng~"

A metallic sound was heard.

The armored figure drew a heavy sword and flew towards them, clearly indicating that Bond had also noticed him.

Just by looking at the armor, Yang Fan could sense an overwhelming hatred emanating from it.

He instantly corrected his original judgment: "It seems that high-grade treasures not only have super strong defensive capabilities, but should also have a certain offensive capability."

Faced with an enemy whose defense was outrageously strong and whose attack seemed equally powerful, Yang Fan had no desire to fight him, as it would be a waste of energy.

He decisively tore open the space, crossing a distance of two kilometers in one step.

This distance isn't too far; it's just within the range that the other party can barely reach.

the other side.

Bond, wielding his full-body armor, stood suspended in mid-air on a ten-meter-high platform and suddenly raised his greatsword.

"Keng!"

The greatsword rang out again, its sound filled with rage.

The guy roared and slashed at Yang Fan with both hands, gripping his sword.

"Woo!"

Accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air.

A sword light, visible to the naked eye, suddenly erupted from the heavy sword and slashed rapidly toward Yang Fan.

"boom!"

The sword light caused a huge commotion wherever it passed.

The makeshift shelters on the ground instantly crumbled into pieces, their walls and floors covered with fine, spiderweb-like cracks.

The Blue Lion people living there were subjected to a brutal torture, with hundreds of knife wounds appearing on their bodies in an instant, and they died spitting blood.

Due to the dense population in the refugee camp, this attack resulted in at least 500 deaths, all of them gruesome.

Yang Fan glanced at the deceased, his heart first filled with shock, then with joy.

To his surprise, the attack power of the high-grade treasure was even stronger than he had expected.

To his delight, he had been struggling with how to deal with the full-body armor, but now he suddenly had an idea.

But now is not the time to make a move.

To be on the safe side, it would be best to deplete Bond's soul power first, and also observe the capabilities of the full-body armor.

Besides, Da Xia just told the Blue Lions that a terrible monster has appeared in Berkshire.

How could the Blue Lions believe it if Bond didn't wreak havoc?

A minute passed.

Six deep sword marks appeared on the ground, each at least one kilometer long.

The death toll has climbed to over 2000.

It wasn't that Yang Fan was deliberately being mischievous, pulling Bond towards a crowded area.

Firstly, the city was flooded with refugees, and refugee houses could be seen everywhere in the city.

Secondly, Bond is a bad seed at heart, and now that he has become like this, he seems to have become even more cruel and bloodthirsty.

Every time this guy swung his sword, he deliberately chose an area with many people, which is why he caused such heavy casualties.

The sound of the sword being swung caused panic throughout the city, and countless Blue Lions fled their homes, preparing to hide in the more distant suburbs.

Yang Fan teleported again and suddenly received a message from Da Xia: "Mr. Ghost, the Blue Lion military can't sit still anymore. They are requesting to participate in the attack on the monster."

He thought for a moment and did not object: "Let the Blue Lionmen come."

Since the Blue Lion military was willing to use the lives of its soldiers to deplete Bond's soul power, he was naturally happy to see it happen.

soon.

Several fifth-generation fighter jets—fully stealth fighters jointly developed by the Southern Cross Alliance—swooped in over the city. (End of Chapter)
