Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

The sounds of fighting came from the mist, and just when the leading wizard thought victory was in his grasp, the sounds of fighting in the mist suddenly disappeared.

Before the dark wizard could even ponder whether the battle was over, several dark figures were suddenly thrown out of the mist.

As the dark figure rolled to the feet of the leading wizard, the dark wizard realized that it was actually the head of one of their own!

The dark wizards were startled.

At this moment, the leading wizard sensed something was wrong; a faint elemental fluctuation was emanating from the dead wizard's head.

"retreat……"

The leading black wizard uttered only one word, and the heads beneath his feet suddenly exploded.

"boom!"

A thunderous explosion rang out.

The terrifying explosive force tore apart the four nearby dark wizards, and even the leader, a late-stage first-tier dark wizard, was blasted away.

"Blue Flame Sect's Explosive Bullet!"

The leading black wizard clutched his chest, his face filled with horror as he struggled to speak.

The other wizards were also taken aback by this sudden turn of events, and they all unconsciously stopped fighting.

Although they stopped, Xia Jian in the mist wouldn't give up so easily, after all, he had thrown out all the remaining black balls in order to deal with this group.

The black orb is powerful enough to damage a second-tier wizard, so its value is naturally comparable.

Several black arrows shot out from the mist toward the leading wizard. Upon seeing this, several black wizards flew forward and all cast their respective defensive spells.

The black arrows were very powerful, and the black wizard's defensive spells were broken in the blink of an eye, but this also caused the black arrows to be exhausted.

Just then, a bloody shadow flashed past the corner of the eyes of several black witches.

Before the people in the dark room could even prepare themselves, Xia Jian, wearing a dark red cloak, had already arrived beside them.

With a swift stroke, Xia Jian beheaded two dark wizards.

Seeing this, the other two wizards each used their own spells to try to force Xia Jian back.

Xia Jian curled his lip and slashed out with his wooden sword one after another, the blood-red sword energy shattering the black wizard's magic.

With a wave of his hand, several black arms extended from the black wizard's feet and then tightly gripped his neck.

As the black wizard struggled, Xia Jian was already close in, his longsword effortlessly piercing through the defensive spells and then through the black wizard's head.

"Let them go..."

Before the leading black wizard could beg for mercy, Xia Jian swung his wooden sword expressionlessly.

A flash of crimson sword light, and the leader of the black wizards' heads fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the other black wizards abandoned the people from Huayan Palace and fled into the mist.

However, their speed was ultimately inferior to Xia Jian's, and with the restraint from the people of Huayan Palace, the remaining black wizards were slaughtered in a short time.

…………

With the matter settled, the people of Huayan Palace were able to catch their breath and couldn't help but look at Xia Jian with curiosity.

However, Xia Jian was draped in a blood-red cloak, making it impossible to see what he looked like for a moment.

"Thank you for your help. I wonder if you are...?"

The leading woman from Huayan Palace stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said...

Just then, Xia Jian's blood-red cloak disintegrated, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

This appearance startled everyone in the Flower Palace.

"Soul-Burning Forbidden Technique!"

The woman in the lead was knowledgeable and immediately recognized why Xia Jian was acting this way.

At this moment, no one cared about Xia Jian's appearance. The people from Huayan Palace all gathered around, looking worried and wanting to go forward to check on the situation.

Suddenly, a blood-red sword light flashed, and the blood-red sword energy formed an arc around Xia Jian.

The people from Huayan Palace felt a chill on their necks and, before they could understand what had happened, they fell to the ground with expressions of resentment.

The woman in the lead clutched her neck, pointed at Xia Jian, and took two shaky steps back.

As the view continued to shift, the leader's head fell to the ground, and the light in her eyes slowly faded.

Xia Jian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up.

"What a pity."

Looking at those beautiful faces, Xia Jian showed a regretful expression.

He might have enjoyed it elsewhere, but the Lin Ya Ruins are fraught with danger, making it inconvenient to do such a thing.

As for why the sneak attack was launched...

Xia Jian wouldn't be merciful just because the other party was pretty; after all, his goal was to kill all the low-level wizards who voted against him.

A sneak attack is the quickest and least costly approach, and the end of the battle is when these people are most relaxed, which perfectly matches Xia Jian's expected optimal kill threshold.

With a mindset that waste is shameful, Xia Jian sat down cross-legged and began to use the corpses on the ground to make up for the side effects of using the forbidden Soul Absorption Technique.

It must be said that in such a place with scarce spiritual energy, this kind of demonic cultivation method is indeed very practical, at least it is much faster than the normal recovery by using pills.

In just a quarter of an hour, Xia Jian returned to normal.

The only downside is that the purity of my mental and magical energy has decreased again, and it will take some time to purify them before they can be fully restored.

There was no need to continue absorbing the remaining blood mist; the mixed energy was of little use to Xia Jian and would only waste time.

Xia Jian waved his hand, taking all the space bags into his possession.

Looking at the half-withered corpse on the ground, Xia Jian took out a magic artifact that looked like a compass.

Quenching plate.

A magical artifact that can control flames.

As Xia Jian channeled his magical power into the quenching pan, a fiery tornado erupted from it and swept towards the corpse on the ground.

Under the intense heat of the flames, the corpses quickly turned into a pile of black ash.

"It works quite well."

Xia Jian nodded in satisfaction.

How can you commit murder and arson without fire? The quenching plate perfectly compensates for Xia Jian's inability to use fire magic.

After putting away the quenching plate, Xia Jian gently fanned his sleeve, and an invisible force blew away the dust on the ground.

They are currently in the ruins of Linya, which could close at any time, and even the major powers would not be able to easily detect anything amiss.

Of course, Xia Jian thoughtfully left behind a few black witch corpses, which also gave the people of the major forces a direction for their investigation.

"Next up is the Sirius Palace in the Arctic."

A ruthless glint flashed in Xia Jian's eyes.

Having already killed so many people, Xia Jian naturally wouldn't let the last remaining Arctic Wolf Palace go.

I just don't know if Neil Bella can handle the pressure.

After all, all the first-tier wizards from other factions were dead, so it seemed a bit unreasonable that they had no casualties.

"How about... we kill a few of our own men?"

Xia Jian's eyes darted around slightly; this was indeed a good idea.

However, doing so would easily attract attention, and it seemed that only by silencing them all could Xia Jian feel at ease.

"We'll see. Maybe all of Neil Bella's men are gone."

Thinking of those dark wizards, Xia Jian felt that his teammates might have already been ambushed by them.

It's a pity about Bro. As a comedic character, Natsumi quite liked him. I just don't know if that guy will survive to the end.

Seeing that nothing had been missed, Xia Jian once again transformed into a black shadow and left the area, rushing towards the Arctic Sirius Palace.
