Ten Thousand Sword Masters

"You have received 50/530 hostility points from the Serpent King."

Snake Master never expected that Zhang Jianyun would be so reckless as to attack with his bare hands.

At the same time, the system's voice rang in Zhang Jianyun's mind again.

"Would you like to consume 500 hostility points to infuse a burst of sword energy into the Sword Master, Bamboo and Wood Resentment Melon, to improve his quality?"

Zhang Jianyun answered "yes" without hesitation.

"You spent 500/30 hostility points to infuse a burst of sword energy into the Bamboo and Wood Resentment Melon, upgrading its quality to mid-grade Yellow Rank."

Sword Master: Bamboo and Wood Resentment Melon

Quality: Medium Yellow Rank

Weapon: Bronze sword

shhhhhh!

Enraged, the Snake Master brandished his green snake to attack Zhang Jianyun, while all the snake tongues that had transformed from his hair also converged and surrounded Zhang Jianyun.

Liu Fei, who was only attacked by the white snake, felt less pressure in an instant, but when he saw Zhang Jianyun being surrounded, his heart was in his throat, and he wanted to rush over to help Zhang Jianyun out of the predicament.

Chi Chi Chi!

Zhang Jianyun continuously swung his sword to cut off the snakes' forked tongues that were attacking him, and leaped to dodge the attacks of the green snakes. At the same time, he was also preparing to summon the Bamboo and Wood Resentful Melon to deliver a fatal blow to the Snake Master.

Driven by his eagerness to save his friend, Liu Fei suddenly unleashed a powerful attack, forcing the White Snake into a retreat.

Seeing this, the Snake Master suddenly swung his forked tongue and attacked Liu Fei.

Liu Fei was caught off guard by the snake master's sudden attack. In an attempt to dodge the snake's forked tongue, he was slammed against the wall by the white snake's tail, and fainted with a loud bang.

Seeing this, the Snake Master waved his white snake and opened his mouth to swallow Liu Fei.

Zhang Jianyun was shocked and, without waiting for an opportunity, immediately summoned the Bamboo and Wood Resentment Melon.

Bamboo and Wood Resentful Melon appeared behind Zhang Jianyun, then brandished a bronze sword and stabbed at Snake Master.

The Snake Master was instantly horrified, wondering where this vengeful ghost from bamboo and wood had come from.

Just as the Snake Master was horrified, Zhang Jianyun instantly severed countless snake tongues and broke free from the Green Snake's attack. He then followed closely behind the Bamboo and Wood Resentful Melon and attacked the Snake Master.

laugh!

Snake Master brandished the white snake, attempting to block the attack of Bamboo and Wood Resentful Melon, but unexpectedly, the white snake was beheaded by Bamboo and Wood Resentful Melon with a single sword strike.

"Who are you? You're also an anomaly, why are you attacking me?"

The snake spirit angrily questioned the bamboo and wood gourd, while simultaneously flicking its tongue to attack it.

Bamboo and Wood Gourd remained silent, its dark and resentful eyes slowly turning as it wielded its bronze sword with fierce and deadly moves, making it difficult for Snake Master to defend himself.

At this moment, Zhang Jianyun leaped over and slashed at the head of the Snake Master with his sword.

The Serpent Master was furious and tried to attack Zhang Jianyun with his forked tongue, but he was tightly entangled by the Bamboo and Wood Resentful Melon and could neither advance nor retreat.

call out!

The Snake Master had no choice but to summon the Green Snake to attack Zhang Jianyun from behind.

Zhang Jianyun remained unmoved and directly slashed at the Snake Master with his knife.

The snake spirit was terrified and tried to dodge the attack, but his retreat was blocked by the bamboo and wood gourd.

laugh!

A knife!

Zhang Jianyun beheaded the Snake Master!

"Good lad, I'll remember you!"

The Serpent King's head, flying through the air, uttered these words fiercely before crashing heavily to the ground.

As soon as the Snake Master was killed, the Snake Tongue and the Green Snake instantly returned to their original forms.

After storing the bamboo, wood, and resentful melon in the system space, Zhang Jianyun arrived in front of Xu Siming's corpse, swung his knife, and stabbed Xu Siming's heart. A heart crystal instantly appeared in his eye.

Zhang Jianyun bent down and picked up the Heart Crystal, about to examine it closely.

"Is the battle over?"

Just then, Yang Changping, the head of the pavilion, arrived at the clinic.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, the Serpent Master has been killed by Liu Fei and me. This is the Heart Crystal." Zhang Jianyun said, handing the Heart Crystal to Yang Changping.

Yang Changping glanced at Liu Fei, who was lying unconscious on the ground, with a puzzled look: "You two killed the Serpent Master?"

"What came was just an incarnation of the Serpent Master. Liu Fei and I barely managed to kill him," Zhang Jianyun said somewhat guiltily.

"Keep the Heart Crystal. Since you and Liu Fei killed the Snake Master, the Heart Crystal belongs to you two," Yang Changping said, but he was extremely puzzled. According to the constable who came to report for help, Zhang and Liu were in imminent danger and no match for the Snake Master. How could they have killed the Snake Master in the blink of an eye?

Yang Changping walked up to Liu Fei and gently pressed Liu Fei's neck, which brought Liu Fei back to consciousness.

"Boss."

Upon seeing Yang Changping, Liu Fei hurriedly stood up.

"Next time you encounter the Serpent Master, don't be reckless. Report to me immediately. Although you were lucky enough to kill the Serpent Master this time, it also means that you have been targeted by the Serpent Master himself. The Serpent Master is the most vengeful of all the supernatural beings," Yang Changping said kindly.

Liu Fei was taken aback upon hearing this: "We killed the Serpent Master?"

As he spoke, Liu Fei looked at Zhang Jianyun and Yang Changping in shock, then at Xu Siming's corpse, and felt as if he was about to faint again.

What's going on?

Wasn't I knocked unconscious by the White Snake? How come the Snake Master was killed when I woke up? Wasn't he killed by Boss Yang?

Seeing Liu Fei's reaction, Yang Changping felt a mix of emotions. Could it be that Snake Master was killed by Zhang Jianyun alone? How could that be!

"Jianyun, have you started practicing the Zhou Tian Heart Method?" Yang Changping asked, guessing that Zhang Jianyun might have extraordinary talent and had already mastered the Zhou Tian Heart Method, which was why he was able to kill the Snake Master by himself.

"I haven't officially started practicing yet; I'm just studying it," Zhang Jianyun replied honestly.

Hearing this answer, Yang Changping breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Zhang Jianyun had not killed the Serpent Master because he had cultivated the Zhou Tian Heart Method, and was not some kind of exceptionally talented cultivator.

However, Yang Changping became conflicted again. If Zhang Jianyun had not cultivated the Zhou Tian Heart Method, how did he kill the Snake Master?

For a moment, Yang Changping was somewhat bewildered.

"How about we split this Heart Crystal? You and I each get half?" Zhang Jianyun asked Liu Fei, holding the Heart Crystal.

Liu Fei shook his head vigorously: "I didn't contribute much to killing the Snake Master, so I can't accept this Heart Crystal."

Just as Zhang Jianyun was about to persuade him, Liu Fei continued, "You should swallow the Heart Crystal quickly. If it's exposed to the air for a long time, the medicinal power of the Heart Crystal will evaporate. Judging from the size of this Heart Crystal, it can probably increase your cultivation by about 5 years."

Seeing Liu Fei's sincere expression, Zhang Jianyun didn't stand on ceremony and swallowed the heart crystal in one gulp.

The heart crystal melted upon entering the mouth, transforming into a warm current that flowed towards Zhang Jianyun's heart.

In an instant, Zhang Jianyun felt his whole body filled with power and wanted to vent it by throwing a punch.

Looking at the power emanating from Zhang Jianyun, Liu Fei's eyes sparkled with envy.

"Next time I get a Heart Crystal, I'll definitely let you consume it," Zhang Jianyun said, patting Liu Fei on the shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Liu Fei smiled with satisfaction.

At this moment, Constable Jiang Gulin saw that the fighting had stopped in the lobby of the clinic and guessed that Snake Master had been killed. He hurriedly entered the clinic.

"How did Dr. Xu die?"

Jiang Gulin was shocked to see Xu Siming's body dismembered.

Liu Fei hurriedly explained everything that had happened to Jiang Gulin, stating that Xu Siming was the vessel of the Serpent Master.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Gulin sighed and said, "I never expected that Xu Siming would become the vessel for the Serpent Master. This way, even if Xu Siming's grandson returns, my government will have a better explanation."

"Who is Xu Siming's grandson?" Zhang Jianyun asked curiously.
