Chapter 92

(Listen (Thank you, Xiaoxing Shitou, for your generous encouragement))

Buzz!

The laser sword sliced through the air, creating a peculiar sound as if the air itself was being cut.

Whoosh!

Jiang Han's figure moved like a ghost, far surpassing the speed of Captain Wild Wolf. In an instant, the blade was just a finger's width away from the captain's neck.

"Die!" Jiang Han shouted, his true essence surging, further increasing his speed as the laser sword aimed for the captain's head.

"You..." Captain Wild Wolf was shocked and angry, hurriedly sidestepping to avoid the fatal strike. But before he could steady himself, Jiang Han's next strike was already upon him.

"Do you really think I can't kill you?!" Captain Wild Wolf roared, discarding the broken sword in his hand and forming a fist. A fiery red glow flickered, carrying a oppressive aura as he lunged at Jiang Han.

"Explosive Punch!"

Jiang Han's pupils narrowed; he could sense the immense power of the punch. If he were hit, he would undoubtedly suffer serious injuries.

"Ghost Step!"

Whoosh!

Jiang Han's figure turned into a series of afterimages, darting past. The next moment, the Explosive Punch shattered the afterimage left behind.

"Damn it!" Captain Wild Wolf's face was grim. The moment he hit Jiang Han, he knew something was wrong, as if he had struck air, not a solid object!

"Die." A soft whisper came from behind him, and Captain Wild Wolf's face changed drastically as he swung a punch backward.

"Oh no!" His pupils suddenly contracted, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart. The punch had missed again!

He hurriedly turned, trying to move, but a cold chill spread over him, causing his movements to freeze.

Pfft!

The next moment, a sharp pain surged in his chest, and Jiang Han's figure slowly came into view. The slight curve of his lips seemed to mock the captain's arrogance.

Sizzle!

"I told you, you're not a god..."

Jiang Han muttered, then abruptly pulled out the laser sword.

"How... is this... possible..." Captain Wild Wolf's eyes widened, blood gushing from his mouth. He looked down at the bright wound in his chest, trying to cover it with his hand, but ultimately fell to the ground, powerless.

Even in death, his eyes remained wide open, filled with regret!

From the beginning, he had never underestimated Jiang Han, but he had still underestimated his abilities and the sharpness of the laser sword.

One wrong step, and everything went wrong!

If his weapon hadn't been cut by the laser sword at the start, disrupting his rhythm, he wouldn't have been so easily killed.

"Phew!"

Jiang Han let out a light breath. After killing Captain Wild Wolf, he felt a great weight lifted from his heart, and his entire body felt more relaxed.

"So this is what it feels like to resolve a grudge..."

He put away the laser sword, took a few steps forward, and glanced at the dead Captain Wild Wolf. He casually cast a cold breath, covering the captain's head with a layer of frost. Then, while searching the captain's body, he muttered, "Dead is dead. Why keep your eyes so wide open? Scaring me?"

"What... what is Big Brother Jiang doing?" Ye Tianming's eyes widened as he watched Jiang Han search the dead captain's body, shivering slightly.

The battle between Jiang Han and Captain Wild Wolf had been over in a flash, leaving Yan Yumo and the others slightly relieved but also secretly alarmed.

"His combat skills are becoming more refined," Yan Yumo thought to herself.

A short while ago, Jiang Han didn't have such strong combat awareness. If he had, she would have been seriously injured, even if she hadn't died.

Jiang Han's progress was too fast!

"Is this his talent for combat?" Yan Yumo mused.

Ye Ruhong, however, noticed more. Jiang Han's ghost-like steps and the cold aura he emitted were both formidable abilities!

The steps were undoubtedly a martial technique.

The cold aura, in Ye Ruhong's view, seemed more like an inherent ability of Jiang Han... in other words, an ice attribute constitution!

In fact, while the ice attribute is categorized with the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth), it is slightly stronger.

The ice attribute is a variant of the water attribute, possessing the abilities of water and new characteristics, making it even more powerful.

Additionally, wind and lightning attributes are on par with the ice attribute.

"That sword is too sharp!" Ye Ruhong thought, recalling the moment Jiang Han instantly cut through Captain Wild Wolf's sword.

He had excellent weapons himself, with a sharp edge, but they couldn't possibly cut through a decent longsword as quickly as a laser sword.

"Divine weapon!" The words flashed through his mind, and he silently marveled at Old Yun's favor towards Jiang Han.

"Big Brother Jiang, does he have some kind of fetish..." Ye Tianming watched Jiang Han's actions, his skin crawling.

"What kind of fetish?" Murong Kexin asked curiously.

"Cough, cough, brat, don't ask such things. Adults are talking, why do you butt in?" Ye Tianming said sternly.

Murong Kexin's big eyes widened in anger, "You're the brat! Your whole family is... no! You're the brat!"

"Phew, lucky I held back, almost mentioned the Emperor..." Murong Kexin covered her developing chest, feeling a bit scared.

Ye Tianming glanced at her, "You don't admit it even when I call you a brat. You don't even know basic things. Ask your sister-in-law... uh, Sister Yumo, she definitely knows!"

"You... hmpf!" Murong Kexin pouted and turned to Yan Yumo, "Sister Yumo?"

Yan Yumo's face turned red. She had spent some time in adventurer taverns and knew a lot. She glared at Ye Tianming and then reluctantly told Murong Kexin, "This... you don't need to know. Big Brother Jiang is just collecting spoils of war."

As a fairly competent adventurer, Yan Yumo knew that Jiang Han was searching for valuables on Captain Wild Wolf's body, which was a common practice among adventurers.

"So he's collecting spoils of war!" Ye Tianming finally understood, earning a glare from Yan Yumo.

"Quite a lot of stuff..." Jiang Han found some decent items on Captain Wild Wolf's body, including herbs and beast crystals, mostly of the first and second tier, with a few third-tier ones, which were quite valuable.

"Does this guy never sell beast crystals?" Jiang Han looked oddly at the pile of beast crystals in his hand. These were definitely not from this one hunt but from multiple hunts.

He just didn't know why the captain hadn't sold them and kept them on his person.

But the reason was probably known only to the now-dead Captain Wild Wolf.

"Quite a bit of gold too." Jiang Han counted the gold coins, which amounted to a few thousand.

In addition, there were some pills, though not of high grade, and other miscellaneous items, all of which Jiang Han put into his backpack.

"Looks like I need to get a spatial ring." Jiang Han frowned slightly, seeing his nearly full backpack.

After finishing, Jiang Han took to the air, leaving the bodies behind. The Ten Thousand Beast Ridge often saw killings, and the bodies were usually left for the beasts.

Whoosh!

Jiang Han's figure rose into the air like a feather.

"A bit slow, looks like... I need to change my lightness technique..."
