Chapter 89: The Ultimate Military Skill

  A whirlpool-like cluster of ice crystals enveloped Mr. Ye's body, along with his beast soul, and retreated from the dense forest with a howl, knocking down trees all the way.

  "Slash!" Guo Fei suddenly had an epiphany, the sword shadow heat flow in his body suddenly all poured into the Xuan Tie Sword, a dazzling white light burst out of the Xuan Tie Sword, transforming into a white light shadow sword. The light sword was about one meter long, almost like a solid sword body. A white light flashed by, and the light sword slashed towards the ice crystal vortex.

  "Bang!" The ice crystal vortex was split in two, and the light sword directly pierced through Boss She's abdomen. With undiminished momentum, it flew out tens of meters forward, penetrating all the dense forest trees along the way before gradually dissipating.

  Guo Fei was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. The upgraded Sword Guard could actually release "Sword Tip Slash", with a power that was truly terrifying. However, the energy consumption was also enormous. This one slash of Sword Tip Slash had consumed half of Guo Fei's Sword Guard's energy. With his current Sword Shadow's energy, he could only release two Sword Tip Slashes. If not released through the body, but instead used to slash in mid-air, attached to the sword and performed with a technique that slowed down consumption, using the characteristics of breathing and automatic recovery of energy, it was possible to achieve a balance between consumption and absorption.

  Guo Fei investigated and found that if the Sword Guard energy was infused into the Xuan Tie sword, it could store two Sword Guard shadows' energy. This means Guo Fei can release a total of six "Sword Light Slashes", provided he stores the Sword Guard energy in the Xuan Tie sword beforehand.

  Currently, the energy stored in the Xuan Tie Sword is the energy of the sword soldier, which seems to be very different from the energy of the sword guard. The energy of the sword soldier is only equivalent to the formless true energy of a Qi repairman, although it is slightly more refined, but compared to the energy of the sword guard, it is far inferior. The energy of the sword guard is comparable to the energy of Yuan Qi attack.

  At present, Guo Fei has not stored the energy of Jian Wei in the Xuan Tie sword, so only one "Jian Mang Zhǎn" was left without being released.

  The ice crystal vortex dissipated, and Boss Ye's face changed drastically. He shouted in shock: "Earthly Tier Ultimate Skill! You've actually cultivated it to the ultimate level!"

  "Earthly Tier Ultimate Skill!" Guo Fei was taken aback for a moment, could it be that his "Sword Tip Slash" was comparable to an Earthly Tier ultimate skill? This made Guo Fei extremely delighted. If upgrading his military rank could bring such great benefits, he would have even more confidence.

  "Haha. Boss She, this deal is probably not going to work out!" Guo Fei smiled faintly and pointed the Xuan Tie sword at him. What made Guo Fei astonished was that a bloody hole had been pierced in Boss She's abdomen, yet only a small amount of blood flowed out, apparently due to his unique physical structure.

  Guo Fei quietly pointed the Xuan Tie sword at his neck, where was the "seven inches", the life gate of snakes. Although his body had changed after transformation, he knew from Hu Xiao Yue that the overall position of his body would not change.

  As expected, with Guo Fei's sword body swallowing the white sword tip, it pointed to Yang Lao's neck, his face changed greatly, and his eyes looking at Guo Fei had become abnormally fearful.

  "Lord Guo, I know I was wrong. You are a magnanimous person, and I am willing to satisfy any condition you set, as long as you spare my life." Old She changed his attitude immediately, speaking in a low and humble tone.

  "Boss She, this deal is really cost-effective, I'll let you go, but can the Wan Shou Sect still spare me? So, I'd rather see you become a corpse, only then can I be at ease." Guo Fei smiled, holding the Xuan Tie sword, as if judging a death row prisoner. Guo Fei enjoyed this feeling, the powerful feeling. It also made Guo Fei deeply realize that human cultivators having killing techniques on their bodies was what made even the strongest and most ferocious demonic beasts tremble with fear and apprehension.

  "Don't, you've killed me. The Wan Shou Xing won't let you off. Our organization's secrecy is beyond your understanding. We came out to carry out the mission after being approved by our superiors. If the mission fails, they'll send people to hunt you down. Spare my life, sir, and I'll help you settle this matter."

  "Let's talk about other things later, first let's understand the current grudges. This is what I, young master, am thinking now. Believe me, I'm afraid I won't live past next year."

  Kuo Fei's eyes turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, the corpse soldiers rushed out to surround Old Master Chou. Kuo Fei currently only had one "Sword Tip Slash" left, which he couldn't waste until it was crucial.

  "Hiss!" Boss She's body suddenly expanded, his clothes bursting apart, and a three-meter-long black snake appeared in front of him. It looked exactly like the Beast Marrow, but its body had grown countless times larger. A large blood hole was exposed on its abdomen.

  What surprised Guo Fei was that its head had not changed, still in the shape of Ye Lao's head, with a snake core spitting out of its mouth, rushing towards the dense forest. Its long tail curled up around its head seven inches away, making it impossible for Guo Fei to find a place to launch his "Sword Tip Slash", and he wanted to take advantage of the situation to escape.

  The corpse soldiers attacked from left and right but were all knocked open by its huge body, knocking down a piece of forest along the way.

  "Nowhere to escape!" Guo Fei shouted loudly, amidst the corpse soldiers' siege. He aimed at his body and launched a "Sword Tip Slash". A white, dazzling light sword instantly pierced through his body, entering from the back of his torso and exiting from his neck. The energy of the Sword Tip Slash was depleted and disappeared.

  Mr. She let out a mournful cry and rolled about on the ground, while the corpse soldiers closed in for a fierce stab.

  "Guo Fei, the Wan Shou Xing will avenge me!" The old boss's snake-like head let out a shrill and mournful cry, with two streams of hot blood flowing from his eyes. Even though Guo Fei had been in this strange realm for many days and had seen many terrifying and unbelievable things, he was still somewhat shocked at this moment.

  As his shrill cry gradually disappeared, a light shadow of a snake-like beast emerged and was collected by Guo Fei into the sealed spirit ball. Hu Xiaoyue quickly went to collect its heart blood, dug out its demon dan, and snake gall. Finally, even several large snakes' skins were peeled off by Hu Xiaoyue's command of the corpse soldiers.

  "What's the use of this?" Guo Fei asked in surprise.

  "Master, you don't know that these snake demons have been cultivating for hundreds of years. Their scales are exceptionally tough and even if their internal energy is exhausted, their skin can be compared to ordinary copper or iron armor, and it's much lighter, making it convenient for battle. It can also defend against general low-level magic damage. Using them to make armor for the undead soldiers is better than using bronze armor." Hu Xiaoyue said with a charming smile.

  "Hmm, I didn't expect you to be a financial expert. Alright, from now on, you'll help me manage our finances and allocate our assets reasonably. Our goal is to build an invincible army that can conquer the entire continent." Guo Fei said with a smile.

  "Yes, ma'am! I'll definitely take good care of the house for our master!" Hu Xiaoyue said with a happy and bashful tone.

  Guo Fei smiled and brought out all the spiritual stones, gold coins and other treasures, letting Hu Xiaoyue count them and store them in her Qiankun ring.

  Guo Fei had his own plans, as his team grew stronger, these trivial matters would naturally need to be handled by someone else, while he himself needed to spend a lot of time improving his cultivation and planning big things, and couldn't let small things tie him down.

  Moreover, Guo Fei was deeply aware of his own weaknesses. As the troops continued to upgrade, he had to increase the intensity of his physical training. He was different from the demon cultivators, whose bodies were strong and wouldn't encounter bottlenecks in a short period of time. He was also different from the corpse soldiers, which were originally dead spirits, their bodies becoming stronger as their cultivation increased, without any need for physical training. Guo Fei was different, he had to increase his cultivation intensity, to break through the difficulties of cultivating the "Golden Dao Lung Classics".

  Let Hu Xiaoyue manage the finances, it's not Guo Fei's impulsive decision, but a well-thought-out plan after a long time of consideration. This world is one where the strong are respected, and as his own troops become stronger, he won't lack wealth, so someone needs to take care of it. Letting Hu Xiaoyue take care of it makes Guo Fei feel at ease, she's originally his soldier, he can control her at any time, so safety isn't a problem. Moreover, Hu Xiaoyue is clever and resourceful, possessing knowledge from many ethnic groups, having suffered hardships since childhood, knowing thriftiness, and being good at managing finances.
