The stolen magic is a bit magical

"Your Majesty the Heavenly King!" Two loud shouts came from below, accompanied by two figures tumbling up.

Two experts soared into the air, their swords and sabers striking Lin Xiaosu simultaneously. They had a premonition that the Heavenly King was in trouble, because he had suddenly stopped moving…

Their reaction was extremely quick, but they overlooked another person.

Standing atop the tree, she resembled a celestial being descended from heaven, a holy maiden of a thousand spirits.

With a flick of her slender fingers, the Thousand Spirit Saintess caused two branches on the treetop beneath her feet to emit a strange, shimmering light.

These two branches grew a hundredfold without anyone noticing.

Chi!
Like the sword of a peerless master, it pierced the brows of two masters simultaneously.

The two experts' eyes widened suddenly, their bodies shrank dramatically, and in the next instant, they turned into skeletons!

Two living people, just like that, turned into skeletons out of thin air.

The scene terrified everyone present...

A bead of sweat also seeped from the forehead of the Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits.

This move, named "Spirit Control of a Thousand Mountains," was her signature killing move that made her famous on the battlefield.

When used to its fullest potential, every tree in the surrounding mountains, spanning hundreds of miles, becomes a sharp blade in her hand, as easy as using her own arm, capable of annihilating thousands of troops in an instant.

However, today, even just two branches were enough to make her unable to hold on.

The road to restoring her cultivation is still long and arduous. I wonder if there will be any changes after she refines all six celestial stars he gave her.

Lin Xiaosu did not notice this scene.

He was completely absorbed in the divine control technique because what a Heavenly King said under this technique was far too important to him.

Finally, control was achieved.

What is your role in Hydra?

"Iron-Blooded King!"

"Tell us the true information about all the Hydra Kings!"

"All I know is that the Mist King is the one who issues all the orders. She is..."

boom!
The Iron-Blooded King's head turned into a bloody mist, and his headless corpse fell from the high-rise building.

Below, a scene of carnage had already unfolded. Winged blades swept low, slaughtering, and the Thousand Spirit Saintess wreaked havoc among the trees. The entire villa was now deserted.

Ten minutes later, the wing blades soared into the sky, and a warship sped towards them across the Black Sea.

Whether these were reinforcements sent by Hydra or not, Lin Xiaosu didn't know, nor did he care.

There was only one thing he cared about: taking down the Mist King as soon as possible.

People at the Hydra King level are extremely secretive, and they don't really know each other. At least, this Iron-Blooded King is completely unaware of the other Kings. He is extremely powerful in combat, but lacks wisdom. Such a person is suitable to be the main force in external conquests, but not suitable to know more secrets.

However, there is one person who is definitely an exception.

This person is the Mist King.

Because she is the strategist.

She is also the decision-maker and coordinator for major issues.

Such a person must know all the true information about the Heavenly Kings.

If you want to play, play big!
If they capture her, they will essentially have all of Hydra's kings under their control.

“I know this person!” said the Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits. “A super socialite who leads the trend of women in Roba State, a global darling of the fashion world, who would have thought that she is actually the Mist King of Hydra?”

Lin Xiaosu nodded slightly: "It makes sense that the King of Hydra has a prestigious title in the outside world and is doing very well in his respective field."

“If she were just a super noblewoman, it would be easy to manipulate her. However, she is the Mist King, the most famous sage. Any actions taken against her must be taken with extreme caution!” said the Holy Maiden of Thousand Spirits. “We must not act rashly.”

"Don't worry, I'll be very careful!" Lin Xiaosu said. "There are still three hours until dawn. We'll use those three hours to deal with her!"

Saintess Qianling was a little confused: "You think spending three hours dealing with her shows how much you value her?"

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "We killed eight top experts in just two hours, but I'll give her three hours. Isn't that enough of a challenge?"

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits did not know how to answer.

He seemed to be right; in terms of time, his level of attention to the Mist King was unprecedented.

She spent 50 percent more time on herself than the eight masters combined.

But why do I always feel that measuring Hydra's kingship by a few hours is somewhat ridiculous?

Denmark.

Reuters Estate.

This is a very old manor, with the earliest records dating back to the Middle Ages.

Legend has it that this place is home to vampires.

This terrifying rumor caused the 70-acre ancient manor, whose every brick and tile is steeped in history, to remain unsold for a long time.

Until this century, a woman who was famous in Roba bought the estate.

This person's name is Audrey.

Her stunning beauty made her famous worldwide. She acted in films, and won the Best Actress award for just one. She also had close relationships with royal families from various countries.

She was a VIP guest of many celebrities—whether she was a mistress or not is unknown.

In any case, whether they are celebrities in film and television, social celebrities, or celebrities from thousands of kilometers away in Daxia, they all take pride in having afternoon tea with her.

Her words have become golden quotes in the era of self-media.

Her attire is a trendsetter for the entire world.

She bought this ancient castle estate, which was rumored to be inhabited by vampires, leaving the world with a beautiful story of the seamless blend of modern beauty and history.

It was late at night, but one of the castle’s halls was brightly lit.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, one can clearly see the figure sitting at the highest point of the hall; even in the hazy light, it still possesses a breathtaking beauty.

Below the castle, there were also many people, and from the outside, it looked like a grand party was being held inside.

Standing atop a large tree, the Thousand Spirit Saintess's eyes flashed: "It's basically confirmed that she is indeed the Mist King. The defenses in this castle are much tighter than those of the Iron-Blooded King's Black Sea Villa."

Lin Xiaosu nodded gently.

Saintess Qianling slowly turned her gaze to the side: "Perhaps we should adjust our strategy and not aim to wipe them all out, but only take down King Wutian!"

Inside the Iron-Blooded King's villa, they were waging a total annihilation battle.

At the Black Sea Villa, all the genetically modified humans were wiped out, and the Iron-Blooded King was also killed by him. Moreover, he conducted an interrogation that even made the Thousand Spirit Saintess feel her heart pound.

She was perfectly aware that this was the wondrous application of divine magic.

The secondary divine arts were a realm that even she, a "prodigy of yesteryear," found unfamiliar and frightening.

Heaven is my witness. As an unparalleled combination of a genius from ten thousand years ago and a genius from the present, there is very little in the world that can escape her understanding. But the sub-divine technique is an exception.

She was sensitive to demigod techniques because she had a life-or-death battle with a mysterious demigod master in the Blood Coffin of Absolute Heaven. Her current situation was "thanks to demigod techniques".

Lin Xiaosu's voice reached her ears: "Your plan is correct! Today, we will only target the Mist King!"

The Thousand Spirit Saintess said, "Then you and Wing Blade will launch the main attack, while I will cover the rear!"

Her plan was the best one: Lin Xiaosu and Yi Ren would fight fast and fast, two against one, and kill Wu Tianwang with lightning speed. Meanwhile, she would tamper with the big trees in the manor to use them as a rearguard barrier to block the pursuers.

However, Lin Xiaosu gently shook her head: "The people in the hall are fake!"

At those words, the Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits felt a sudden jolt in her heart.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this castle is a trap set for us. If we take action against this fake Heavenly King, she might be willing to blow up the castle and annihilate us all."

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits' eyes widened suddenly: "The entire castle is to be destroyed?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"There are at least a hundred people here! And most of them are real people!"

"Who do you think the Hydra Kings are? Do you think they would care about the deaths of a hundred people?"

Saintess Qianling stared at him blankly: "Why are you so certain that this Mist King is a fake?"

Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly: "We are now comrades in arms, I won't lie to you! This is the target of the plan I devised with you on the shore of Tashan Lake that day!"

On that day, by the shores of Tashan Lake...

The Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits was greatly moved: "That plan... you asked me to condense nine wood flowers and give them to the higher-ups of Hydra. At the time, you gave me a very vague statement: 'To take, one must first give.'"

"The real reason is... as long as they consume the Wood Flower you gave them, I can clearly sense them within a 20-kilometer radius!"

The Thousand Spirits Saintess exhaled softly: "Because my Wood Flower carries the unique energy of your Skin Star, you can sense it clearly?"

"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu said, "When we were in Jiangcheng, I killed the Shadow King because he carried the aura of the Wood Flower. Just now, when we killed the Iron Blood King, he also carried this aura. And the Mist King sitting in this hall right now, although she looks exactly the same as the image in the images and videos, and the people in the hall treat her in a way that is completely in line with her identity, she does not carry this aura."

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits had no idea what she was feeling.

She spent a long time trying to decipher his unexpected move that day.

But she only interpreted it as strange, not as having any real meaning.

She implemented this plan because of the wise saying, "To take, one must first give."

But now he has revealed the true essence.

He knew very well that if the higher-ups of Hydra obtained the Wood Rule Flower, which could instantly heal injuries (excluding loss of head), they would definitely use it on the most vulnerable and absolute leaders.

The Heavenly Kings are the first choice.

His real purpose was to use his miraculous ability of "precise sensing over a 20-kilometer radius" to preemptively place a noose of death on these top-level officials.

This strategy involves manipulating people's minds and laying the groundwork in advance.

How exquisite!

This sentiment wasn't just about strategy; it also subtly led to a small divergence...

He could accurately control the location of the wooden flower that he had condensed himself, which only carried a little bit of his own energy. So how accurate must his perception be of the Cortex Heavenly Star Tear itself?

He must know exactly where on her body this cortical star is located.

Thinking of this, the Holy Maiden of Thousand Spirits was in turmoil… (End of Chapter)
