In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 72

Chapter 72: A Crushing Blow From a Higher Dimension

The bandits below, and even the people on the city wall, were all horrified.

This was a Viscera Tempering expert!

Just one step away from the legendary Innate Realm, someone qualified to be a city lord in a city, a Viscera Tempering expert!

And they died just as easily!

Moreover, this was another new technique that had never been shown before.

Everyone’s perception of Shen Xing had changed again and again.

They grew more and more in awe.

They now understood that although this Young Master Shen looked young, he was meticulous, deeply hidden, and without the naivety of an ordinary young man.

If he could instantly kill a Viscera Tempering expert, what about an Innate expert?

Who knew what else he was hiding?

Just based on the techniques he had shown so far, he didn’t need any guards at all. The people from the Zhang family, the He family, and the Blood Beast Gang were simply courting death. He was invincible from the start!

“Second brother!”

Pang Yue’s hysterical roar came from below, filled with boundless rage.

His son had made a mistake, which led to his brother being expelled from the family along with him. He already felt guilty.

But he never expected that his second brother, who had been wandering with him for over a decade, would die so tragically before his eyes.

“Second brother! I will definitely avenge you!”

Pang Yue roared, picked up an equally thick-skinned wild boar as a shield, and then rushed towards the forest without looking back.

This scene even stunned many bandits who were preparing to fight to the death.

But Pang Yue was no fool.

He had just seen clearly that his second brother had exploded without any resistance. He couldn’t even see where the attack came from. Moreover, that terrifying power might not be withstood even by an Innate expert!

Furthermore, who knew if the opponent could attack again or if they had other hidden techniques?

Staying here was waiting for death!

Others might be able to escape, but he was doomed.

Run! Run! Run!

Pang Yue’s eyes were bloodshot. He pushed his family’s martial path intent to the limit. His figure was like a ghost, leaving behind several afterimages. Even with the huge wild boar on his back, he was not slow at all.

However, Shen Xing just looked down at his back and the fleeing bandits with cold eyes.

“Forget it.”

Finally, he said, “Leave a few valuable ones alive, kill the rest.”

The moment he finished speaking, the POD, in stealth mode, opened fire. Beams of powerful plasma energy accurately hit each fleeing bandit. The intense heat burned large holes in their unprotected bodies. Even the demon beasts couldn’t withstand it.

In a very short time, everyone could only see flashes of light. All the demon beasts and bandits fell to the ground, wailing.

It only took a few seconds!

This terrifying attack once again amazed the people on the city wall.

They were already starting to become numb.

The so-called experts in their perception were like grass before the Young Master Shen.

Even if an Innate expert rushed out at this moment and was easily killed by the Young Master Shen, it wouldn’t be surprising.

However, Shen Xing suddenly noticed that the tiger and bear, which he had been specifically watching but hadn’t killed, also began to flee.

And in the direction they were fleeing, there was a seemingly ordinary Marrow Tempering bandit.

It seemed like they were just coincidentally on the same path, but the POD’s intelligent program, following his focus, had already provided an analysis.

【The tiger and bear were secretly covering the target’s escape.】

“Got you,” Shen Xing’s lips curled up.

Why hadn’t he simply killed all the bandits?

Wasn’t it to find out how this group controlled the demon beasts!

According to the information he had so far, the Pang Brothers had never shown any ability to control demon beasts before.

Either they had recently obtained a secret manual, or someone new had joined them.

Now, the answer was obvious.

The tiger and bear were both powerful demon beasts comparable to Viscera Tempering experts. One-on-one, an ordinary Viscera Tempering expert without a divine weapon or a powerful martial path intent would almost certainly lose.

Such demon beasts would not protect someone for no reason.

This ordinary-looking Marrow Tempering expert was most likely the beast tamer!

“Use tranquilizer darts,” Shen Xing ordered decisively.

Not only this person, but he also planned to keep Pang Yue alive for the time being. Someone from a big city and a big family must have a lot of information that was difficult to investigate in Clearwater City.

It would be enough to give him a more detailed understanding of the larger area.

Information was still quite important to him!

After the order was issued, the POD quickly calculated the trajectory, including the target’s strength, speed, and defensive measures.

Finally, it chose tracking tranquilizer darts.

These were special darts with micro-launchers that could change their trajectory in an arc. The tranquilizer was not injected but released on contact. Upon impact, it would emit a tranquilizing mist that would take effect within seconds of skin contact, making it highly efficient.

However, dealing with the suspected beast tamer was quite simple. After one shot, the person fell directly, and the bear and tiger couldn’t withstand the concentrated fire.

◈◈◈

However, there was a little trouble with Pang Yue.

The body movement technique he was using created five afterimages, and his movements were erratic. Moreover, he was carrying the wild boar as a shield and sticking close to the ground, which made the trajectory calculation a little more difficult.

However, it was really just a little, not a lot.

With the military-grade POD’s detection equipment and high-performance computing, it only took three shots to seal off all possibilities. The hit rate was directly pulled to 100%. One shot even hit Pang Yue’s neck.

Even though he had tensed all his muscles and had a strong will, he still fell instantly under the powerful tranquilizing mist.

Using these weapons against these other-world natives who didn’t even have full-coverage armor was simply a crushing blow from a higher dimension.

Thus, this large-scale siege ended so simply.

“Go clean up the battlefield,” Shen Xing said indifferently and walked down the city tower.

Everywhere he went, everyone bowed respectfully, their eyes full of awe.

Strong in strength, strong in methods. Even a Viscera Tempering expert, even nearly a thousand demon beasts, were easily dealt with, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. He could kill or capture them as he pleased.

This kind of performance had completely surpassed their level.

No one dared to disobey him anymore.

Even the ordinary people on the street bowed their heads in awe, and many even prostrated themselves on the ground to welcome their new ruler!

Thus, the entire Clearwater City was truly under Shen Xing’s control.

“Young Master Shen, the Zhang family has been cleared out. Would you like to move there?” Pang Zhan hurried over, his head almost touching the ground, his tone so respectful that even he found it unbelievable.

“Later,” Shen Xing did not refuse. The Zhang family’s mansion was indeed more luxurious. Then he ordered, “You and the Gong family, count all the pills, divine intent inheritances, and other treasures from the three families and the Red Tiger Gang outside. Bring them to the Zhang family’s mansion. Don’t miss anything.”

“Yes!” Pang Zhan quickly agreed.

The battle was over. Now it was time to count the spoils.

Shen Xing was not immersed in this overwhelming victory. He first returned to the Hungry Wolf Gang’s training room and directed some people to move the equipment that was not easy to bring back to the Human Federation to the Zhang family’s mansion. He still moved it directly into the former city lord’s training room. Then he closed his eyes and rested for a while. The previous battle kept replaying in his mind, and the long saber in his hand began to dance again.

He wanted to consolidate his Flashing Blade realm.

Weapons were certainly strong, but on the path of martial arts, one’s own cultivation could never be neglected.

Immersed in cultivation, everything outside seemed to have nothing to do with him.

It wasn’t until evening that the commotion in Clearwater City finally subsided.

Everyone in the city knew what had happened.

The city had changed hands.

The Young Master Shen, with his mysterious background, had become the most powerful, authoritative, and high-ranking person in the city! Even far surpassing the previous city lord.

The shopkeeper of the Pill Pavilion wrote more than a dozen urgent letters, describing what he had seen and heard in an urgent tone, hoping that the Pill Pavilion’s main branch would pay attention to this powerful and mysterious scion of a great family and send more and better pills to build a closer relationship.

And some people from other cities in Clearwater City also tried to contact their respective factions.

Although this was just a small city, Shen Xing’s performance had completely exceeded the scope of a “small city”!

After all, being able to easily kill and capture a Late-Organ Tempering Stage expert was already an Innate-level deterrent.

As for the members of the three families, most of them had been captured or had fled the city. There were not many who had the courage to resist. Even the famous Pang Brothers had been so easily defeated, one dead and one captured. How many people would seek their own deaths?

Finally, in the evening, a large pile of various treasures was brought before Shen Xing.

These were his spoils of war today.

The inventory had already been counted.

Shen Xing directly skipped over the gold, silver, and other monetary currencies and pointed out the cultivation-related items. These were what he cared about.

Obviously, the harvest was abundant.

There were thirty-eight divine intent inheritances alone!

Most of them did not come from the city but from the Red Tiger Gang bandits.

They plundered everywhere and carried their wealth with them. Naturally, they would not miss divine intent inheritances.

However, Shen Xing soon discovered that many of them were duplicates.

Presumably, these inheritance paintings mostly came from the surrounding area, so some repetition was not surprising.

Even after removing the duplicates, there were still twenty-three left.

Shen Xing couldn’t possibly learn so many martial path intents.

Even using the learning device would cause some damage to the divine soul and could not be used continuously. There had to be a buffer period.
