One more catty, one more attribute point

Chapter 270 Taking in a Dog, Sending a Message by Flying Sword

Su Heng's indifferent gaze withdrew from the Wu brothers fleeing in a disheveled state.

He did not pursue them.

Instead, he reached out and patted the head of the Black Fire Giant Wolf beside him.

"Go, tear them apart," Su Heng spoke in an indifferent tone.

"Roar!" The leading Black Fire Giant Wolf raised its head and let out a wild howl. They leaped down from a hill dozens of meters high and sped toward their prey so fast that only blurry black lines could be seen streaking across the ravaged and dry land.

These giant wolves were already formidable, their physical prowess comparable to the Heavenly Deceit.

Having been remodeled and strengthened by the "Seed of Destruction," they had reached an incredible realm.

The distance of several kilometers was crossed in an instant, and on the ground and through the grass, trails of black fire footprints fiercely burned without extinguishing.

Bang!

The Wu brothers failed to escape and were overwhelmed with a mighty force.

In a life-and-death crisis, their strength burst forth nearly at full force, accompanied by a series of angry howls.

As more Black Fire Giant Wolves joined the battlefield, the howls quickly turned into cries of terror and pain.

But it was of no use.

They were extensions of Su Heng's will, absolutely loyal, never resting until the mission assigned by their creator was completed.

Blood pooled on the ground forming a shallow mirror-like puddle, reflecting the mottled tree shadows on both sides.

Crack!

As two heads flew high into the air, the sounds abruptly stopped.

Su Heng leaped down from the hill, the pitch-black clouds behind him dissipating into nothing.

The two largest Black Fire Giant Wolves trotted up to Su Heng, dropping the two heads they were carrying in their mouths at his feet. Su Heng showed a satisfied smile, reached out, and patted the heads of the two giant wolves as a reward.

After a moment of thought.

Su Heng did not retract the power of the Seed of Destruction from these giant wolves.

Instead, he chose to let them stay, serving as extensions of his own senses.

Strolling casually into the stronghold of the Sect's headquarters, a tower soaked in fire behind Su Heng collapsed with a crash, sending up billows of smoke and a wave of heat studded with sparks. Some surviving Sect experts appeared within the smoke, their expressions filled with caution, and subtly surrounded Su Heng.

Su Heng had come to break their siege, it was true.

But the aura he emitted was far more dangerous than that of the Wu brothers.

More importantly, as a powerful being of the Heavenly Deceit Realm, his perceptions were keen. Su Heng hardly bothered to conceal his intentions; his unfriendly aura was even more intense.

The remaining Sect experts, trembling in fear, dared not make a move.

Meanwhile, in the distance.

On the path extending forward.

A figure in a black dress hurried toward Su Heng.

It was indeed Sect Leader Ke Yulan.

Her expression slightly complex, she took a deep breath and, resigning herself, threw down the two long swords she held, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said, "I am grateful for your life-saving grace, revered senior."

"Do you know who I am?" Su Heng looked down at her, asking with a smile.

"My lord, your guess is not wrong," Ke Yulan's clear eyes hinted at a trace of sadness. She collected her emotions, looking up at Su Heng and said calmly, "These giant wolves, in fact, are not real demons, but are transformed from the bodies of human Martial Artists through the use of a Secret Technique."

Su Heng released his senses, sweeping over the body of the giant wolf.

Although the bones and muscles had been severely deformed by torture, traces could still be seen in some of the internal organs.

"I've never seen such a wicked Secret Technique, it it weren't for this tattoo..." Ke Yulan shook her head, "this person was named Huai Zhen, a grand elder within the Deceit Sect, with extreme demonic cultivation. Previously, he quelled a demonic surge, saving many, but he disappeared on the battlefield."

"I thought he had been severely injured, and had people search for a long time, but I did not expect to meet him again here," Ke Yulan sighed softly and fell silent.

"Hah!"

Su Heng scoffed coldly.

"I will handle this matter, but you..." his fierce gaze fell on Ke Yulan, "the debt your Deceit Sect owes me, I will not let it go. Don't act pitiful here, I have never had much mercy for my enemies."

Ke Yulan shivered, lowering her head, and dared not speak again.

Crackle!

The flames burned and another building collapsed thunderously. Amidst the rising smoke, Su Heng's breathing was slightly labored.

"Right!" After a moment of silence, Su Heng rubbed his temple, "By chance, I absorbed Xie Linyuan's memories, and that guy Xie Xianyu, who came to assassinate me, seemed to also have some divine statue's blessing on him."

"Bring me the information about these divine statues, they are useful to me," Su Heng curled his lips in a cold smile, saying to Ke Yulan, "On this matter, you had better pray that you are still of some use to me."

"I understand," Ke Yulan's face instantly calmed.

She gestured to a Deceit Sect disciple in the distance and quickly, an ancient-looking scroll was brought before Su Heng.

This scroll recorded detailed information about eighteen statues, including their owners, methods of worship, and abilities that could be potentially gained. However, some critical information was deliberately obscured.

"No specific locations?" Su Heng's brow furrowed.

"The specific locations of these divine statues are within my memory," Ke Yulan said. "If you need them, I can add a map for you, it would be ready soon."

"Nevermind, you lead the way, don't waste too much of my time." The maps of this world aren't as convenient as in bygone times. People have different habits, and the maps they make are also quite peculiar. Sometimes, you could misplace yourself just by following one.

"Phew!" Hearing these words, Ke Yulan let out a sigh of relief.

No matter what is said later.

For now, she could continue to live.

Moreover, she faintly heard from the rumors in Jiangzhou that this official had some peculiar habits.

Being in his hands, living was much more painful than dying. Ever since Su Heng's deeds began to spread, Ke Yulan had lived in trepidation every day, considering moving away several times. But before she could make a move, she encountered this situation.

Contrarily, after truly meeting him, Ke Yulan's hanging heart began to settle a bit.

"Shall we head out now then?" A pain shot through her arm; Ke Yulan slightly furrowed her brow but still carefully suggested.

"Now..." Su Heng shook his head, "we need to make a trip to the Wu Family first."

The divine statues would remain on the ground, not running anywhere.

But with the Wu Family openly rebelling, who knew what chaos they might orchestrate after a while, Su Heng didn't have the heart to wait.

"Okay!" Ke Yulan responded considerately, "Shall I bring people along with me?"

Before Su Heng could answer, his ears twitched slightly. Looking up sharply, he saw a streak of black light crossing the void. He was initially startled, then his expression changed. Unfastening the black wooden sword sheath from his waist, he flung it into the sky, capturing the black light within it.

"It's a flying sword messenger!?"

That thing, only Qin Shunying and Meng Huan knew the incantation. Whose message could it be?

Regardless of who sent the message, it was probably big trouble.
