Chapter 290 [One thought, a flower blooms; the flower blooms, life ends]
Han Longzhu returned to the Hunter's Ghost Market with his men, but Jiang Yuan had already left.
After a fruitless search.
Hanlongzhu even took out several recording and tracking tools, just to find the guy who bought the broken jade slip.
Surprisingly, even the high-end tracking devices worth over six million were completely ineffective, leaving the scene shrouded in mist.
Even the person's blurry shadow could not be seen.
This result infuriated Han Longzhu. He never expected that after finally finding the culprit, he would miss out on the family's most precious treasure.
Because of losing the family's most precious treasure, he, as the eldest son, has been scolded countless times by his father and grandfather, making his position as heir precarious. His other siblings are also eyeing him covetously, ready to kick him while he's down at any moment.
If he fails again this time, he may really lose his right to inherit the family business.
Thinking about this...
His eyes instantly became bloodshot, and he was overcome with anger.
"Find him! Find him no matter what!"
"If the props aren't useful, just find someone; surely someone has seen them!!"
The handsome young man, dressed in all black, with a knife at his waist and a small blue, fierce-looking fish by his side, was so conspicuous that it was impossible for anyone not to notice him.
Soon, under his spending spree...
Many people who remembered Jiang Yuan provided clues, which, when pieced together, pointed out the route Jiang Yuan took to leave for Han Longzhu.
"Senior Kui, Master Fu, you're quick, thank you for your help." Han Longzhu suppressed his emotions and said to the two eighth-level masters he had brought with him.
Fu Shenxing nodded: "Just finding someone, no big deal."
Kui Xin laughed and said, "I'm just doing this for the money. Since you can provide what I need, I'll naturally help you. I hope you'll keep your promise after this is over."
"Of course."
Soon, the two eighth-level Grandmasters disappeared before the Cold Dragon Bamboo.
He gazed towards Times Square, where several towering skyscrapers seemed to pierce the clouds, and murmured, "I hope they're not from one of the Ten Great Families; otherwise, my luck is just too bad..."
…………
the other side.
Unaware that he was being targeted, Jiang Yuan was walking down the street.
He held the broken jade slip in his hand and tried to break the seal.
The [Eye That Sees Through All Things] indicates that to break the seal, one top-grade Time Crystal is required.
Time crystals are already extremely rare, let alone those that reach the highest quality.
Although Jiang Yuan had a number of high-grade and ordinary time crystals, he didn't have a single top-grade one.
"Even the ruins of the God of Calamity don't contain top-grade Time Crystals, so there's no need to consider them on the market. They're probably only found in unexplored ruins and in the collections of royal families... It's going to be very difficult to obtain."
However, he will not give up.
A treasure that requires a top-grade time crystal to unlock must contain something of extremely high level.
I thought about it.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Jiang Yuan's mind.
Perhaps... that method might work.
Using blind folly to deceive the seal on the broken jade slip, and then using deception to alter a high-grade time crystal into a top-grade one... feasible!
In this way.
Perhaps all it would take is consuming one high-level time crystal.
Thinking about this...
Just do it!
"Blue Blue".
Lanlan, who understood his thoughts instantly, grew larger and swallowed him whole.
Across the street, a little girl eating a candied hawthorn skewer stared wide-eyed as a handsome older boy was swallowed whole by a giant fish.
She screamed in terror.
"Waaaaah!!"
"Holy crap! A ferocious beast?!"
"Where did this come from?!"
"Where are the patrol officers?! Report this immediately!"
Others also witnessed this scene and initially mistook it for a ferocious beast attack.
Before the martial artists in the crowd could react...
The giant blue fish, its body covered in mysterious blue-gold patterns, exhaled a string of bubbles and vanished instantly into the dust.
"Disappeared?"
"Could it be a space-type ferocious beast?!"
"This is so rare! How could something like this happen in the Imperial Capital!"
"What a fine young man... alas... what a pity."
Soon, a patrol team composed of intermediate-level martial artists dressed in police uniforms arrived at the scene. After some investigation, they indeed detected the aura of a fifth-tier ferocious beast.
Considering it might be a spatial-type ferocious beast of unknown origin, they dared not be careless and immediately reported it.
at the same time.
In the blue world inside her belly.
Jiang Yuan took out a high-grade time crystal, shielded his aura with powerful mental energy, and the unique seven-colored rainbow light of activating [Supreme Comprehension] appeared deep in his eyes.
In an instant, blind folly and deceitful authority were unleashed simultaneously!
The high-grade time crystal in my hand had its attributes distorted and blurred, and had been modified to [Supreme Time Crystal (Fake)].
The broken jade slip was also covered by a gray light.
"Snapped!"
Jiang Yuan crushed the Time Crystal in his hand, and the fragments turned into specks of light that disappeared into the jade slip.
In an instant.
The shattered jade slip emitted a brilliant blue light, as if a blue sun had risen from the world within its belly.
"Whoosh!"
The jade slip shattered, and a beam of azure light shot out.
Jiang Yuan did not stop it. He released his mental barrier and let it enter his brow, enter his mental world, and directly enter the forehead of the golden sun-like Yang God, turning into a blue-and-white flower mark.
[Ding! You have acquired a fragmented divine power—A Flower Blooms in a Moment]
Before Jiang Yuan could react.
[Ding! Your talent - Supreme Comprehension - has begun deduction...]
[Deduction complete]
[The broken supernatural power is restored; you gain the supernatural power—A flower blooms with a single thought, and life ends with the blooming of the flower.]
【One thought, a flower blooms; the flower blooms, life ends】: Consuming spiritual power, everything within your sight will grow a life-devouring flower of time on its body. While devouring life force, the target will also be forcibly stripped of its lifespan, 1 year per second.
........................
Times Square in the capital city.
A woman with snow-white silver hair, a tall figure, and a pair of lake-green eyes stood by the fountain with her arms crossed.
She was dressed in an archer's outfit, looking dashing and exuding a unique and mysterious aura that attracted the attention of many.
But whenever someone is drawn to look, they immediately shrink back in fright upon seeing those cold eyes.
Even some intermediate-level martial artists are no exception.
That stunningly beautiful woman could send chills down their spines and make them feel an absolute pressure from a higher level of life with just her gaze!
She is definitely a grandmaster-level expert they can't afford to mess with!
At this moment, Zheng Huangtong's face was gloomy and cold, and her eyes seemed sharp enough to cut through A-grade alloy.
I've been scammed...
She never imagined that one day she would be scammed online!
A full hour has passed since the agreed time.
One hour!
That's enough for her to single-handedly clear an A-rank dungeon!
And that guy, that bastard with the ID [Source God], wasted a whole hour of her time, and there's still no sign of him, and he's not replying to her messages!
She, Zheng Huangtong, the president of the Bow and Phoenix Guild, the eldest daughter of the Zheng family, a ninth-level grandmaster, and a famous figure in the capital, was one day stood up by someone!
Thinking about this.
Zheng Huangtong felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger.
"call……"
She took a deep breath, forcibly calming her throbbing temples, telling herself to calm down, calm down, and not to bother with a low-level martial artist.
"Just five more minutes, the last five minutes! If you don't come by now, I'm leaving! This is the last time, absolutely the last time!"
Zheng Huangtong repeatedly tried to persuade herself.
If it weren't for her friends, she wouldn't have put up with this.
on the other hand……
"If that guy didn't have any good ideas and really lied to me, making me wait this long..."
Zheng Huangtong clenched her fists, a tic-tac-toe mark appeared on her forehead, and a dangerous smile appeared on her face.
"Click-clack".
She vowed to show that kid what hell on earth was like, what it meant to be riddled with bullets!
hum...
A strange spatial fluctuation came from the other side of the square.
No one else noticed.
But Zheng Huangtong, with her keen senses, suddenly turned her head and looked over.
A blue vortex appeared out of thin air, and then a tall, slender figure in black emerged from it.
He turned his head and looked around, then his gaze met Zheng Huangtong's at the other end of the square.
The moment Zheng Huangtong saw the person's face clearly, she was startled, and then suddenly shuddered.
The boy in black seemed to have confirmed something. He took a step forward and disappeared instantly. Then, he crossed hundreds of meters and appeared in front of Zheng Huangtong.
"So you're the one who says, 'I will not be guilty if I shoot you'?"
