Chapter 39: 39

John narrowed his eyes and looked towards the white-haired man. Based on the cultivation level of that man, he would easily be able to suppress the two guards without killing them. There is no reason for their death.

Although John disagreed with the man's actions, he knew now was not the time to argue and therefore kept his words to himself.

“I guess that's how the real world of cultivation is. The strong prey of the weak, and the weak can only sit there and wait for their death” though John. Again, John found another motivation to get stronger.

“Only by being strong can I control my own fate.”

After killing the two guards, the white-haired man gestured for the group to move forward. John and his group stepped over the corpse and entered the mansion. Late at night, the mansion was dark inside, with only a few lanterns lit up throughout the mansion.

“The iron closet is in the basement, whose staircase has to go through the door across the room. Come move” whispered the white-haired man.

The group advanced and crossed the large room, finally arriving at the underground stairs. The group slowly went down the stairs and found themselves in the basement soon after. The underground chamber was extremely large; it was more like a cave than a basement. It was tens of yards tall, and hundreds of yards long and wide. There were many side doors on the walls of the basement, seemingly leading to another room.

On the opposite side of the basement was a huge vault door. Two more guards were placed on either side of the vault door, conversing with each other.

“Not much cover between here and the vault door, so it seems like this is where we should use hardness” whispered the white-haired man. “I didn't see the deceased guardian of the Fog Creation realm anywhere, so he must be somewhere upstairs. You all go ahead and neutralize the guards and see if you can get into the vault. I will wait here in case the Fog Creation realm is too late. Go awayl. “

Due to the nature of his mission, the white-haired man did not use his heavenly sense to look around the mansion. Unless one was in a much higher cultivation realm, their sense of divinity would be detected by whoever they scanned, warning them.

The group quickly shot towards the guards. As little cover was available, the guards were immediately alerted by the presence of the intruders.

“Includers!” shouted one of the guards as he pulled out his sword.

Almost instantly, several side doors opened and nearly a dozen guards came out. The two groups quickly approached each other, where they all unleashed their strongest attacks.

The explosion!

Loud explosions echoed throughout the mansion. Duke Trommel, who had been sound asleep, woke up in fear. He quickly jumped out of bed and walked towards the door, where it opened from the outside.

“Sebastian, what happened? What sound is it?” ask Duke. The man Duke spoke to was the late Mist Creation realm guard. He was guarding the Duke's room when he suddenly heard a loud noise. He immediately entered the room to make sure the Duke was fine, at that moment he heaved a sigh of relief.

“I'm not sure. Looks like it came from the basement,” Sebastian replied. “I'll stay here and take care of you for your protection.”

“Omong empty” replied Duke. “Down and find out what happened.”

Sebastian bowed quickly before turning around and running down the long hallway.

“Curse. Of course something happened when my most powerful bodyguard went” murmured Duke.

Back down, John found himself standing in front of the vault. As the two groups clash, Austin orders John to go alone to the vault and try to enter.

Although John was more than strong enough to join the battle behind him, he realized that this was truly the best course of action. If he could get into the vault and get the items in it, his mission would be a success and they could leave. Although John is desperate for battle, he realizes that this is not the best time to take liberties with the mission.

“That iron roller does look quite impressive” thought John as he pulled out his greatsword and swung it at him.

The Mountain-Destroying Sword!

A loud explosion resounded as John's sword struck the vault. A large indentation was made on the steel vault, but other than that, it seemed to be fine.

“Mountain My Crushing Sword won't get me through this. I think I should exert all of his strength” thought John as he removed his greatsword and whipped out his scythe. Although John now had a great sword of Fog Creation level, it could hardly be qualified that way. The quality of his weapon was lacking when compared to his scythe, so the power he could draw from it was less.

John hesitated to use his scythe and the Myriad Annihilation Scythe's battle art due to how much Qi it would take to execute, but he realized there was no other way for him to break down the vault.

John took a deep breath and tightly gripped his scythe before lifting it over his head and slashing forward with all his might.

The Myriad Annihilation Scythe!

The scythe swept down towards the vault, where the scythe blade sliced through the vault as if it were butter. John gritted his teeth and used his full strength to continue the attack as the scythe walked down the vault.

The explosion!

A loud sound echoed as the vault door was sliced in half with a diagonal angle.

John pushed the vault door to push it down, but the door was still firmly held. Although John could see the other side of the vault through the thin piece inside, he could not enter. Loud explosions echoed behind him as a fight between the two groups raged.

“Again!” john shouted as he once again prepared his scythe. The first slice is made diagonally to the left, so John aims to slice diagonally to the right on the vault. The bottom of the vault would be separated from the rest of the vault door, allowing him to push that part down and enter.

“I've almost half of my Qi reserves. Using this attack would drain most of my Qi essence. At that point, I will be relying on my own dantian ball and body cultivation. Even so, my ‘ I will still be more than strong enough to protect myself “though John while upholding his scythe once again.

It was moments like these that made John realize how amazing it was to have two dantians. Even when he would run out of Qi from his own dantian, he was not afraid. When most cultivators ran out of Qi, they were basically powerless. John on the other hand had a ball of dantian and a strong body to back. Not only that, but his Dantian sphere was at the middle Mist Creation realm, which was even stronger than his.

“It's a pity that I don't have a strong body cultivation battle art, otherwise with my ball dantian in the middle Fog Creation realm, it would be easier to knock down this door” thought John.

The Myriad Annihilation Scythe!

John once again slashed with all his strength. Another loud explosion resounded as his scythe split open the door. John kicked the bottom of the vault firmly, then fell down and exposed a hole in the vault door.

“Success” exclaimed John with vigor, his face a little pale. Although he still had the ball to return to energy, John still felt very uncomfortable having an almost empty Dantian.

Just as John was about to step through the hole in the wall, a sharp attack pierced through his back.
