Why is my territory in a 2D anime art style?

Chapter 129 The First Time the Territory Was Destroyed

There were only a handful of people left in the territory who could still move.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in Fang Si's peripheral vision. The surrounding buildings disappeared, exposing him to everyone's view. He looked slightly embarrassed.

He never imagined that the territory he considered invincible would be breached in just a few minutes, and even the lord would be killed.

"Yu Wei!"

But a sudden roar made him turn around sharply, and in that one glance, he saw the vast ocean stretching back in time.

"Fang Si! How could it be you!"

Yu Wei didn't understand; he had lost the ability to think, and he was greatly shocked!

How could it be Fang Si who breached the territory!

But at this moment, he no longer had time to try to figure it out.

Fang Si rushed out almost the instant he saw him. Yu Wei tried to escape in a panic, but having not yet broken through to the intermediate level, how could he escape Fang Si's pursuit?

With just two strikes, Fang Si cleaved Yu Wei's weapon in two, the blade tip hovering just before Yu Wei's neck, its cold light chilling and its killing intent piercing.

"Brother Fang, spare my life!"

Yu Wei knelt down, tears and snot instantly covering his face, trying to evoke Fang Si's pity.

Fang Si glared angrily, kicked him in the chest, and stomped him to the ground, her teeth grinding together.

"Aren't you an orphan, about to break through to level four, and not afraid of me at all?"

Yu Wei immediately burst into tears and wailed, "Brother Fang, I was forced to do it! He Chong forced me to do it. I didn't want to! Didn't you see there was a Level 4 professional with me at the time? He was there to watch me!"

"If I don't do this, He Chong will have Gao Qi kill me!"

"Brother Fang, please spare me!"

Fang Si was so angry at Yu Wei's appearance that he almost laughed. He couldn't believe there was such a shameless person in the world. It was an eye-opener for him.

"It's alright, He Chong has gone down too. Since you were forced into this, go and get revenge on him!"

With a swift stroke of his longsword, Fang Si beheaded Yu Wei. He didn't want to look at him any longer; it was too disgusting.

With her parents rescued and her great revenge avenged, Fang Si felt an immense sense of relief, like a parched land receiving timely rain.

"Fang Si~"

Sui An, who was standing to the side, called out to Fang Si. He didn't continue speaking, but instead swept his gaze across the room.

He did not deliberately avoid Fang's parents behind him, and he paid the price and took the risk to kill He Chong.

Of course, you also need to offer your own pledge of allegiance, but Yu Wei alone is not enough.

Fang Si understood immediately. Without the slightest hesitation, he moved through the territory, killing all the living people one by one, and even deliberately stabbed the neck of each person lying on the ground.

Sui An's gaze toward Fang Si grew brighter and brighter. She was decisive, ruthless, and had a close relative still alive, whom she had even saved herself.

Even if you've never been a boss, you know right now that this is the best subordinate for a boss.

Fang's mother behind him seemed somewhat reluctant, but Fang's father pulled her around so she wouldn't see her son killing people in a frenzy.

Although Mr. Fang's voice was soft, it was quite firm: "That's how the world is. Don't blame your son, don't blame others. It's all for survival!"

Fang's mother was sobbing softly, only repeating "I know."

Erhu looked at the compass in his hand, watching the lights on it disappear one by one until only he and a few others remained.

He turned to Sui An, shoved the compass into Sui An's hand, and said with a smile, "The scene is almost ready. You keep the compass. I'm going to search for something valuable; we can't waste it!"

Sui An nodded: "Remember to search the building in the center of the territory. My spirit can't search it. He Chong has a lot of protective treasures on him, which I can use."

"Alright!"

There are quite a few valuable things in this territory, and he has already obtained the core of his territory.

Although He Chong is dead, the core of the territory has not been destroyed. If there are still resources such as Originium and Originium materials stored inside, there is a way to take them out.

This is also because He Chong did not have enough determination. If he chose to fight to the death and let the territory core self-destruct in advance, then there would be no use for him to have the territory core.

Besides the valuable items He Chong was wearing, there were also some special items in his room that couldn't be stored in the core of the territory, which might also be quite valuable.

And that guy who was knocked away by the spirit's attack, he was also a level four professional, and his weapons and armor were not bad either.

Erhu kept searching for items rich in energy, while Fang Si searched around the area and finally found what he wanted in the cellar: three large barrels of special fuel.

Speaking of which, this barrel of fuel was prepared by He Chong himself, precisely to deal with insufficient firepower. It was to be poured around the perimeter and lit to alleviate the pressure from the beast tide.

He dragged one of the barrels to the center of the territory, saw He Chong who had been killed, sighed slightly, and then poured the oil barrel on the ground.

He poured the other two buckets evenly onto the ground, and he even saw the intermediate professional he had seen that afternoon, who was now silent.

After Erhu loaded everything he wanted onto the cart, Fang Si slashed his longsword across the weapons on the ground. A spark flew up and splashed onto the oil noodles, instantly igniting the fuel on the ground and turning it into a sky full of red flames.

Looking at the raging fire, Sui An suddenly felt a pang of emotion. Those who kill others out of fear of affecting their territory will ultimately suffer the consequences.

"Every sip and every bite is a matter of fate; the old saying is true!"

Sui An and his group safely returned to their territory as the dawn gradually brightened.

After hearing Fang Si's parents' account, Fang Si finally understood how they had been lured out.

It turned out that Yu Wei was impersonating Sui An's subordinate, saying that Fang Si had recently offended someone and that someone might be targeting his parents, so he specially sent someone to pick them up.

In their moment of panic, the couple forgot to discern much, and since Yu Wei had indeed visited Fang Si's home as a friend and subordinate, his credibility naturally increased considerably.

Little did they know that the people who picked them up were Fang Si's enemies.

With an extremely simple reason and an extremely simple method, the two middle-aged couple were tricked out.

Everyone was speechless, but who could understand the couple's worry about their child?

Sui An didn't say much, he just gave the instructions.

"For a long time to come, your parents should not appear in the public eye. They should stay in the territory until I have dealt with the He family."

"Thank you, boss!" Fang Nian said repeatedly, her eyes red.

Then, at Sui An's suggestion, he took his parents to the backyard and found a new house to stay in.

Sui An, however, kept Fang Si and Erhu behind: "Have you been to Xu Rong and the others' residence in Jiangcheng?"

"I've been there!" Fang Si recalled the scene when they met.

"They live in the East City, which is the territory of the Second City Lord. Xu Rong bought a large shop on the commercial street, which serves as both her alchemy workshop and her and He Yuan's daily residence. The first floor is their shop front, and the second floor is where they live."

Sui An continued, "Do you know anything about their security detail?"

"The guards in the shop are all low-level professionals. After all, it's in Jiangcheng, and it's the most bustling commercial street in the East City. Generally, no one dares to cause trouble there."

After speaking, Fang Si's expression became somewhat solemn, and she seemed to be implying something.

"He Yuan himself is a senior level 5 professional. He commands a small team, which can be considered Xu Rong's subordinates. There are four level 4 professionals and six low-level professionals in the team. However, they all have their own families and usually only go out together on missions or to help Xu Rong find certain materials. They are not responsible for guarding her."

"Xu Rong spends most of her time in the shop and rarely goes out."

"My spirit spirit can probably handle this strength, but if it stays cooped up in the city, it'll still be a bit of a headache."

Sui An fell into deep thought; He Chong's parents would definitely have to be dealt with together.

However, if one stays in Jiangcheng, unless one has the ability to fight against Jiangcheng, it will be difficult to take action against them.

Especially given the recent events involving the Zhao family father and son, the major city lords will definitely strengthen security control within their cities. Even the people of Crescent Moon City will have to think twice before taking action now.

I lack a lot of crucial information about the existence of high-level territories. If I rashly make a move in a high-level territory, I might be found by someone.

Suddenly, Sui An looked up at Fang Si and asked softly.

"Do you think that if He Yuan and his wife found out about their son's accident, they would come out to the territory to check on him?"

After a moment's thought, Fang Si said, "That's possible. Xu Rong's doting on He Chong is obvious. Now that we've burned their territory down and their son's body is gone, there's a good chance she'll come out herself!"

"Alright!" Sui An immediately slammed his hand on the table. He looked at Fang Si and instructed, "Then I'll give you a task. Go back to the city first thing tomorrow morning and keep an eye on the He family. Once they come out, come back with them and report to me!"

"Okay, I'll leave first thing tomorrow morning!"

Everyone returned to their own rooms, while Sui An began to study He Chong's findings.

Sui An told Erhu and Fang Si that if they saw anything they liked from the things they obtained from He Chong's territory, they could take a few with them.

But Erhu and Fang Si both shook their heads, saying they didn't need anything.

Actually, it's not that they don't have the resources, but rather that they dare not use them, or even feel that they are too expensive and difficult to obtain. After all, the destruction of the city was accomplished by Sui An's spirit alone; at most, they could only observe the situation and clean up the battlefield.

Most of the things Erhu collected were protective gear and weapons, since these were the most valuable and held their value the best.

But these things have very distinct characteristics and cannot be used in a short period of time, which may be why they did not intend to take them.

In particular, the golden armor He Chong was wearing was a level 4 blue armor set called the [Bright Light Armor]. It consisted of five parts, and all of its active effects were to increase defense, making it a pure tank armor.

Erhu and Fang Si were very tempted by this set of armor, but they both felt it was unsuitable because they both followed the agility-based combat style. Light armor might be okay for them, but this kind of armor would affect their movement efficiency and speed.

If we're talking about what's suitable, then Wang Hu, who has advanced to level 4, is probably the most suitable. Paired with that level 4 shield, if they were to explore the wilderness, it would be like a city wall appearing in the world.

However, this set of blue-quality mid-level armor must be very expensive. Even if there is a way to buy it, it is all done by ordering. Fang Si estimates that he probably can't get it without 10,000 source stones!

Ten thousand source stones are enough for Sui An to build a wall around half of a level three territory.

Unfortunately, it would be a waste to put it on He Chong, since he can't use source energy to activate it like a combat professional; it's just that it's harder than ordinary armor.

However, for now, it can only gather dust in Sui An's warehouse; at least for now, he can't openly give it to anyone.

This also shows just how much money his Level 5 alchemist mother makes!

Of all the gains, the most important for Sui An should be the protective treasure and the core of the territory that He Chong possessed.

First of all, four protective treasures were found, three low-level and one mid-level, and they were all shaped like jewelry.

The three low-level items are all similar to my own [Rock Pendant], two green-quality rings, and one blue-quality bracelet.

However, under the spear of the spirit, they were basically pierced with a single thrust.

After all, the spirit's strength alone is already comparable to a level 6 ice demon, and with the added boost of its own source energy, every attack is incredibly powerful, the difference is just too great.

The only thing that lasted a little longer was a gold necklace.

If Fang Si were to attack, these four protective treasures could buy at least seven or eight seconds of time, which would be enough for the lord to control the building and launch a counterattack if conditions permit.

The golden snake necklace's properties were very similar to those of Sui An's own pendant.

【Treasure Name】: Protection Amulet 【Treasure Level】: Level 4 【Treasure Quality】: Blue 【Treasure Effect】: After encountering a life-threatening attack, it will automatically activate an energy shield to resist the attack. It takes twenty days to recover after activation.

Aside from this level 4 treasure, the effects of the other treasures are basically the same as the original Rock Pendant, only the activation time varies.

"These treasures aren't all mass-produced by the Origin Realm Factory, are they? They all seem pretty much the same no matter how they're described."

Sui An shook his head and put these treasures aside for the time being. These treasures had already been activated and could not be triggered in a short time. Carrying them would be useless and would easily expose them.

Finally, Sui An took out He Chong's territory core.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone else's territory core, especially a territory core in this state of annihilation.

The core of a territory in a state of annihilation is very similar to the state of the Sui'an territory when it is upgraded.

It was dull and lifeless, like an ordinary crystal ball.

"I've only heard that it's possible to retrieve the core resources of a dormant territory, but how do you do it?"

Sui An frowned; he had never tried this thing before.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he quickly summoned his territory's core control panel.

Sure enough, the core of annihilation in my hand suddenly changed, and a pop-up window that was very similar in style to the control panel appeared above it.

[Should we transfer the source resources stored within the core of this territory?]

Sui An glanced at his reserves and then selected "Yes".

The core of annihilation in his hand suddenly emitted a faint white light, which quickly became incredibly dense, like milk, and flowed into the core of his territory.

Meanwhile, the amount of Originium within the core of his territory was visibly increasing, lasting for about ten seconds before gradually dissipating.

The Core of Annihilation in his hand no longer glowed; it seemed to have completely vanished.

Sui An glanced at his resource reserves and was immediately stunned.

First, there's the Originium. The total number of Tier 1, 2, and 3 Originium increased by four to five thousand, which means my Originium assets went from nine thousand to over eighteen thousand!

After looking at the Originium, Sui An glanced at his reserve materials. There were two thousand sets of basic Originium materials and three or four hundred sets of various core materials, which were mostly used for repairs and replacements.

I roughly estimate that these materials are worth about ten thousand Originium.

"What a rich bastard! He still has so much money after completing the level 3 blue wall!"

Sui An was cursing and swearing. In fact, before killing He Chong, he had considered one thing: to have He Chong reclaim the buildings in the territory first, since the blue core material of the wall alone was worth a fortune.

However, this is also very unsafe. If He Chongxin is determined to die and makes a ruthless decision to disband the territory and destroy the core, then he will get nothing.

Just to be on the safe side, let's just kill him.
