This assassin is upright

Chapter 271: Tough? Not that tough. (Vote for me!)
"I told you, your methods are useless to me."

Looking at Yu Zhun with cold eyes, High Priest Valen's sinister voice echoed in the venue.

Looking at Yu Zhun's surprised and stunned expression, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

The weapons were taken away, so what?
As the third most important figure in the Azure Dragon Sect, his status in the sect is second only to the Sect Leader and the Deputy Sect Leader. The resources he can obtain are incomparable to those of ordinary members of the sect. At this moment, he has nearly a hundred kinds of wish-power props on him.

The scepter in his hand was one of the wish-power props, and it was a wish-power prop that was very famous in the church.

Its name is [Scepter of Destruction].

In the Azure Dragon Sect, this item is also called "Item Destroyer".

Each wish power item has its corresponding effect, and it only needs to consume a certain amount of wish power to take effect. The wish power effect of the [Scepter of Destruction] is particularly special, and it can destroy other wish power items by consuming wish power.

It can be said that this effect alone gives the [Scepter of Destruction] a completely different status from other wish-power items.

And this time, High Priest Valen brought it out as well.

With this wish-power item, he believed that no matter what means Yu Zhun used, he would never be his opponent.

Brigadier General Yu had completely destroyed the [Soul-Hunting Curse] that could no longer be used, so he threw it aside. Looking at High Priest Valen, his expression became more solemn.

It was indeed beyond his expectation that the wish-power item could be destroyed.

In this case, other wish-power props may not be usable.

I just don't know if things other than the power of will can also be destroyed by the opponent's scepter?
Thinking of this, Yu Zhun stomped his foot, and a layer of gray-black power emitting the breath of decay and destruction quickly surged in all directions.

After confirming that the strong men from the Azure Dragon Sect had entered Star City, he had already changed his title in advance.

At this moment, the title he was wearing was the only colorful title he had obtained so far, [The End of Withering], which could cause 1% of the power of withering to erode hostile targets within the combat range per second.

The effect of the power of withering can make the treasure chest items obtained by Yu Zhun from the [Withered Ruins] produce unexpected effects.

The trap that was set to lock down the entire Star City branch was completed using several treasure chest props and the power of withering that Yu Zhun had injected in advance.

And now...

Yu Zhun looked deeply at High Priest Valen.

I wonder if this guy can bear it?
-
"boom!!!"

Accompanied by a low roar, Lu Wen rushed out from the desert with a dark face, raising a large amount of sand and gravel.

"The fourteenth... Ugh~"

After dry heaving twice, Lu Wen tightened the sword in his hand.

By killing these monsters hidden under the desert one after another, he has gained more than 6,000 points of willpower.

It is indeed a secret realm, the rewards are much richer than those outside.

but…

"Why can't I find the core of the secret realm?" Lu Wen looked around unhappily, all he could see was endless desert.

According to Yu Zhun’s previous statement, there is a special core area in every secret realm. Although the harvest in the periphery is not small, it is not worth mentioning compared with the harvest in the core area.

That is the real highlight of the secret realm.

Lu Wen had finally had a burst of luck, so naturally he didn't want to leave with just such a small gain.

"We have to find a way to find the core area..."

Lu Wen muttered to himself and walked forward aimlessly.

A moment later, waves rose again under the desert, and a huge mouth quickly popped out, swallowing Lu Wen into its stomach in an instant.

"Grass, here we go again!"

Feeling a familiar dizziness and a foul smell lingering in his mouth and nose, Lu Wen's face turned green instantly.

Although killing one of these monsters can earn you 400 to 500 wishes, this experience is really...

It's hard to say.

The two swords were unsheathed in an instant, and Lu Wen flashed, and was about to kill the opponent as quickly as before, but the next moment, his movements paused.

Before, because he couldn't stand the stench in the monster's mouth, Lu Wen always killed the monster as soon as possible and escaped back to the ground.

But now, he suddenly thought of something.

These monsters kept dragging him underground relentlessly.

In addition, he did not see any special and important areas in the desert...

A guess suddenly emerged in Lu Wen's mind.

Is it...

The core of this secret place is underground?
Thinking of this, Lu Wen suddenly didn't want to kill the monster that swallowed him into its mouth so quickly.

At the moment, it seems that the other party cannot pose a threat to him except for disgusting him.

He wanted to see where the other party was going to take him.

Holding his breath, Lu Wen stood firm and quickly descended under the desert with the monster.

As time passed, Lu Wen's face became uglier and uglier, until he was about to reach his limit of endurance, and the feeling of weightlessness disappeared.

Is this... here we are?
After waiting for a while and making sure that the monster that swallowed him did not continue to descend, Lu Wen attacked without hesitation, slashing with both swords and tearing the giant-mouthed monster that swallowed him into pieces.

The expected feeling of being restrained underground did not appear. Lu Wen only felt that the surroundings suddenly became empty, and then he was back on the ground.

What comes into view is an enormous cave. Unlike the desert on the ground, this cave is made up of countless hard rocks.

The light emitted from somewhere was like fireflies, dotted all over the cave. Lu Wen looked deep into the cave and soon saw a palace standing in the cave.

"Is this the core of the secret realm?"

A wild smile appeared on Lu Wen's face.

"I am indeed a genius."
-
Above the silent city, as Yu Zhun kicked hard, the tall and thin figure of High Priest Valen flew backwards like a cannonball, plowing a deep mark on the ground, destroying all the buildings he passed by, and raising a cloud of dust along the way.

"Cough-cough-"

High Priest Valen, who was lying in the ruins, sat up with difficulty. Gray blood spurted out of his mouth instantly, and countless gray and black withered lines had spread all over his body.

"Damn..."

His eyes were extremely gloomy, and High Priest Valen muttered in a low voice. The next moment, he caught a glimpse of a shadow in the smoke and dust from the corner of his eye, and his expression froze.

"What did you say just now?"

Yu Zhun walked out of the smoke and dust, looking at High Priest Valen with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"My methods are useless to you?"

"What about now?" He suddenly grabbed Archpriest Valen by the collar and lifted him up. "Is it still useless?"

"My church... will not let you go." High Priest Valen's face was grim due to suffocation, and he spoke slowly in a hoarse voice.

"What a coincidence! I'm not going to let you go either." Yu Zhun said with a smile, his eyes suddenly becoming cold.

"Pfft-"

With the sound of the blade piercing into flesh, Yu Zhun simply put an end to High Priest Valen, who had been eroded by the power of withering and became extremely weak.

The effect of the colorful title was even better than he expected.

The erosion of the power of withering is not the power of the [Tianxu Holy Realm], but it played a huge role because of the retention of the title system of the Divine Revelation World.

In addition, there are treasure chest items that cannot be destroyed by the [Scepter of Destruction].

The arrogant High Priest Valen was killed so easily.

Thick black air currents as thick as ink quickly poured into Yu Zhun's body. Looking at his own willpower value, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

After destroying the secret realm, Yu Zhun's wish power value exceeded 30,000. After that, Yu Zhun destroyed most of the Azure Dragon Sect's Star City branch and killed the branch's chief priest, and the wish power he gained also exceeded 10,000. And now, just by killing a chief priest of Valen, Yu Zhun's wish power value soared again, breaking through 60,000 in one breath.

and…

Yu Zhun’s gains were more than that.

Looking at the wish-power props that fell after the death of High Priest Valen, Yu Zhun's eyes flickered slightly, and he felt like he had made a fortune.

With a casual grab, the scepter that High Priest Valen had taken out earlier fell into his hands.

[Scepter of Destruction: It can consume the power of will to permanently destroy the specified power item. The required power of will varies depending on the power item.]

really.

Yu Zhun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It was this wish-power item that just destroyed his wish-power item [Soul-Hunting Curse].

He wanted to see how much willpower was needed to destroy the willpower item.

After briefly checking the effects of other wish-power items, Yu Zhun quickly found an item with little effect and locked it with the [Scepter of Destruction].

[Do you want to consume 620 willpower to permanently destroy this item? ]

Yu Zhun raised his eyebrows when he saw the prompt that popped up in front of him.

This consumption is much lower than he imagined.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Zhun chose to destroy it.

The next second, that useless prop turned into ashes in his hands.

But immediately afterwards, a ball of black gas surged out and flew towards Yu Zhun.

Seeing the wish power value suddenly surged by 3100, Yu Zhun couldn't help but widen his eyes.

What do you mean?
Destroying items... can also gain wish points?
"Bang bang—"

Two muffled sounds came from not far away, interrupting Yu Zhun's thoughts.

Tambu, who initially faced Yu Zhun, was killed by Yu Zhun when he was fighting against High Priest Valen.

And now, Roger and Leif were also severely damaged by Udyr.

An arrow pierced Leifer's chest at high speed, killing him completely, and then the second arrow shot towards Roger.

Yu Zhun dodged and blocked the arrow with his dagger. He looked at Udyr who was looking at him with doubt and said, "Let me ask him something."

Upon hearing this, Udyr temporarily put down his longbow.

Nodding at her, Yu Zhun grabbed the dying Roger and waved the scepter in his hand, "Do you recognize this?"

A look of despair appeared on Roger's face.

Has High Priest Valen also fallen?
"I know him..." He took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty, "This is one of the items I teach, the [Scepter of Destruction]."

"Consume the power of will, and use it to destroy other power-of-will items."

"What happens after the destruction?" Yu Zhun continued to ask.

"After the destruction?" Roger looked confused, not understanding what Yu Zhun wanted to ask.

"It seems you don't know." Yu Zhun shook his head slightly and threw Roger to Udyr, "You can kill him now."

Udyr nodded, and dealt Roger the final blow cleanly, then looked at Yu Zhun, "Did you find anything?"

"I have found something." Yu Zhun raised the [Scepter of Destruction] with a smile, "This thing is quite interesting."

"Using it to destroy the power item will consume power, but after destroying it, I can gain more power."

"You mean..." Udyr blinked in surprise, "I can use it to convert useless wish power items into wish power?"

"Yes." Yu Zhun nodded, and then paused, "But what's more interesting is..."

"The Azure Dragon Cult doesn't seem to know this."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Tianxu Clan of the entire Azure Dragon Cult will all choose the path of the gods."

"Destroying things and people to absorb the willpower they contain is a unique way of obtaining willpower in the magic path."

When Udyr heard this, his expression suddenly became strange.

What this means is that the Azure Dragon Cult has been holding on to this wish-power item for such a long time, but it has not produced the effect it should have?

"With this item, we will have another way to gain wish power in the future." Yu Zhun smiled and was in a good mood.

There are always some props of vows that are not suitable.

In the past, these unsuitable wish-power props could only be put in the bottom of the box, but now they have a new way of use, which is to transform them into wish-power.

"Let's go, the formation can't be maintained any longer." Yu Zhun raised his head and looked at the countless gray and black lines covering the entire Star City branch.

"It's time to make the Azure Dragon Cult suffer a little."

"Okay!" Udyr nodded heavily.

Killing the chief priests of the two cities allowed her to gain more than 5,000 points of wish power. Such a gain made Udyr marvel at it.

The countless followers of the Azure Dragon Sect and the last high priest who were trapped in the formation also had a considerable amount of wish power.

If everything goes well, her wish power value will be able to break through 20,000 today!
The two of them flashed and appeared in the formation at the same time.

With Yu Zhun's control, the power of withering quickly dissipated, leaving only countless believers lying unconscious on the ground with gray and black lines all over their bodies.

The only one who could barely stand up was the high priestess named Sanlair.

When she saw Yu Zhun and Udyr appear, her pupils suddenly shrank and a look of shock appeared on her face.

"How can it be…"

"How could Lord Valen lose against the three of them?!"

Her body was shaking violently, and she slowly fell to the ground after trying to stand up under the erosion of the power of withering. She actually fainted from anger.

"That's it?" Yu Zhun shook his head speechlessly.

He could feel that the degree of erosion of the power of withering of everyone in the field had reached 100%. Except for the health value that remained at 1 point, all other attributes had been reduced to 0.

He originally thought that this Sanlaier had special abilities to resist, so he still had the strength to fight.

Now it seems that he is overthinking.

"Kill them all." Yu Zhun said softly and started moving.

On the other side, Udyr quickly drew his bow and arrow, delivering the final blow to the unconscious believer.

When there were no living creatures in the Star City branch except the two of them, Yu Jun leisurely left with Udyr.

Another wave of wish power surged, and his wish power value was approaching 80,000.

This does not include the wish-power props he has on hand.

Yu Zhun planned to wait until the five of them gathered together, divide each other's props, and each of them would pick out useful props. For props that none of the five could use, they would use the [Scepter of Destruction] to destroy them and divide the willpower points.

Oh, no, Hermod can’t be divided.

This guy chose the divine path, and he cannot gain any wish power after destroying the wish power item.

Tsk tsk…

Yu Zhun couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Poor Xiao He.
