Chapter 824: Ancient-treasure City

Sang Tian’s attack was extremely violent and moved like a raging dragon into the hurricane of sword Qi, causing a series of explosions.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The sound of explosions filled the sky as the Space shook with tremors.

Sang Tian had sent out dozens of saber Qi but they were all destroyed by the hurricane of sword Qi.

The shattered saber and sword Qi shot in all directions, causing the Space for hundreds of miles around to tear like a cloth being torn apart.

Most of the sword Qi hurricane had been destroyed, but nonetheless, the sword Qi was still very powerful and charged toward Sang Tian.

“Oh no!” Sang Tian turned pale.

If this sword Qi hurricane sucked him in, he would definitely be torn into shreds. There was no way his Body-protection Dark Force would be able to withstand it.

“Whoosh!”

As he hastily retreated, a strange jade charm appeared in his hand.

He flung the jade charm out and it transformed into a transparent defense shield, enveloping Sang Tian within.

In the next instant, the sword Qi hurricane violently slashed at the defense shield protecting him.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

There was another series of explosions as a huge amount of Qi strength exploded. Sang Tian’s figure disappeared into the sword Qi hurricane.

Everyone looked on in shock. This attack might actually kill Sang Tian!

However, Sang Tian had called upon a defense charm that might just be able to safe his life.

The jade charm he used was extremely rare and contained a defensive formation within made by an expert formation master. If a martial artist used this formation in times of need, it would form a strong defensive shield.

Everyone looked closely at the sword Qi hurricane, trying to see what the final outcome was.

One breath.

Two breaths!

After three breaths, the sword Qi hurricane finally subsided and Sang Tian’s figure was revealed.

The crowd gasped in shock and disbelief as they saw for themselves what had become of Sang Tian.

He had been defeated!

Sang Tian, the top 5,000 on the List of 10,000 Talents had been defeated by a Lv 9 True Darkness Realm martial artist!

Sang Tian looked extremely forlorn. His hair had come undone and his body was covered by sword Qi which slashed so deeply that his bones could be seen. Not only that, his stomach had been slashed open, so his innards had slid out. Fresh blood flowed like the fountain.

Sang Tian’s face was as white as paper as his eyes were filled with terror.

“Young punk, I will avenge myself one day!” Sang Tian shouted angrily. Soon after, he quickly made his escape.

“Trying to escape?” Su Mo was about to go after him when he saw Sang Tian’s figure split into two, then four, and then eight. In a few seconds, he had transformed into hundreds of figures that fled into the distance.

“A deceptive trick!” Su Mo frowned.

There was no way for Sang Tian to produce so many avatars. This could only be a deceptive trick.

Even if it were to be a deceptive trick, it would be hard for Su Mo to pinpoint the true Sang Tian. It would be virtually impossible for him to go after Sang Tian.

He heaved a secret sigh as he watched the hundreds of fleeing Sang Tian. So be it. he had more important things to attend to.

He looked at the six remaining people and charged toward them.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In a flash, Su Mo conjured three Phantom Avatars and they surrounded the group of six.

Those six people were still recovering from the shock of what they had just witnessed. When they came to their senses, they found that they had been surrounded by Su Mo.

“What do you want?”

“Are you trying to kill us too?”

“How dare you!”

Those six reacted with shock and horror as they looked warily at Su Mo. Since they outnumbered Su Mo, they were not too worried.

“What have you obtained from this mansion?” Su Mo asked coldly as his gaze swept across the group.

Su Mo was not interested in anything but the Dark Stone!

“Humph! Why should we have to report to you what we have obtained?” a burly young demon scoffed.

“That’s right! You may be strong, but it will not be easy for you to deal with all six of us either!” a thin elder chimed in.

Su Mo frowned. Indeed, these six people gave off powerful auras and were almost on par with Sang Tian in terms of strength. Even if he used all his hidden cards, he might not be able to defeat them.

He thought for a moment, then said, “To be honest, I have come to Waste Domain in search of a craftsmanship material. This material is known as the Dark Stone. If any of you are in possession of one, I am willing to pay a high price for it!”

Su Mo did not attack them since they have not offended him. He would not resort to attacking others if he could obtain the Dark Stone by peaceful means.

“Dark Stone?”

All six of them repeated in confusion. They were all not craftsman, so how would they know what a Dark Stone was?

“Boy, you’d be better of going to Ancient-treasure City. There are no craftsmanship materials here in Sky-burn Mansion!” the thin elder replied with a laugh.

“Ancient-treasure City?” Su Mo repeated with narrowed eyes.

“Exactly!” the elderly man nodded.

“Ancient-treasure City is one of the four ancient cities and there are all kinds of treasures to be found within. Many people had obtained craftsmanship materials from Ancient-treasure City.”

“Really?” Su Mo said contemplatively. He looked at the group again and reiterated, “Do you really not have the Dark Stone? I am willing to trade it for a Royal-level martial arts technique!”

Su Mo was not about to put up a Royal-level martial arts technique for trade. He was just trying to test if this group had the Dark Stone. If they had it, they would definitely be willing to trade it for a Royal-level martial arts technique.

After all, the Dark Stone might be precious, but it was still not as rare as a Royal-level martial arts technique.

“Royal-level martial arts technique?” the group repeated with surprise. They were very tempted at this prospect, but still shook their head.

Why would they have this so-called Dark Stone? They didn’t even know what this thing was and could not be bothered with craftsmanship materials in general.

Su Mo sighed. This group seemed like they truly did not have the Dark Stone.

Sky-burn Mansion was just a small part of Firescorching Palace. It was impossible for a Craftsmanship Hall or the Sect’s treasury to be located here, let alone craftsmanship materials.

“You may go!” Su Mo withdrew his three Phantom Avatars and flew toward Sky-burn Tower.

The group of six did not leave immediately, but looked at Su Mo’s departing figure in shock.

Was this man truly a Lv 9 True Darkness Realm martial artist?

Goodness!

If news got out that a Lv 9 True Darkness Realm martial artist had defeated a top 5,000 Supreme Talent, this would not just shock the entire Central Continent, but also the entire Firmament World!

The more they thought about it, the more shocked they became. They couldn’t help but try to guess his identity.

They then noticed Su Mo fly to the top of Sky-burn Tower and stand still in the void.
