How powerful are magical artifacts?
"Like magical artifacts, spiritual artifacts also vary in strength. Weaker spiritual artifacts are no different from ordinary magical artifacts, except that they do not pollute the mind."
But those powerful magical artifacts were simply beyond imagination.
Fang Xiu, do you know why I would resort to assassination when I've already formed a powerful alliance with the Poker Organization?
"Because of the magical artifact?"
"That's right. Besides me, there are four captains at headquarters. They are all fourth-level spirit masters. But I have never taken three of them seriously. There is only one I am very wary of."
Not just me, but the poker organization is the same.
This person is named Fang Moli. Because his abilities are related to swords, he is the number one spirit master in Asia and the captain of the Sword Edge Squad. Although Fang Moli is strong, he is only at the fourth level, which is not enough to make me wary. What I am truly wary of is the sword in his hand!
The sword is named Xuanyuan, a magical weapon passed down from ancient times. It is said that no one has ever seen it drawn, for all who have witnessed it are dead.
Xuanyuan Sword?
Fang Xiu immediately thought of the divine sword in mythology. Since the Taotie exists, it is not surprising that the Xuanyuan Sword also exists.
“Fang Xiu, you have solved S-level strange events before, so you should know how terrifying S-level strange events are. But what you solved was only an S-level strange event that had not yet matured. Fang Moli, on the other hand, once solved an S-level strange event that had already matured by himself and his sword.” Yan Changshou said this with deep fear in his voice.
A fully grown S-class monster?
Fang Xiu was also somewhat surprised when he heard this news. As someone who had dealt with nightmares before, he knew very well how troublesome nightmares were.
At that time, the nightmare had not yet reached its full potential. Once it fully matured, it could easily destroy a country.
But now someone is able to solve such a bizarre situation all by themselves; this news is truly alarming.
Moreover, Fang Moli is not even at the fifth rank, but only at the fourth rank. This shows how powerful the Xuanyuan Sword is, and it's no wonder that Yan Changshou and the Poker Organization are so wary of it.
Thinking of this, Fang Xiu couldn't help but ask, "Since the Xuanyuan Sword is so powerful, what's the point of assassinating the head of headquarters? As far as I know, the head of headquarters is just an ordinary person, and his death won't affect the battle at all."
"The assassination attempt on the headquarters minister was to attract Fang Moli's attention. Tomorrow's training will consist of lectures by each of our five team leaders, followed by a final summary speech from the headquarters minister, who will also present you with an award."
The spirit masters from all over the country are all troublemakers. If the head of headquarters were to directly intervene, unpleasant things might happen. Therefore, the five captains would give a lecture first, which would also serve as a deterrent, and then the head of headquarters would attend.
When he distributes the magical artifact to you, all five of us captains will be seated on the platform. This is my best chance to get close to Mo Li; normally, the five of us are all busy with our own affairs and rarely see each other.
At this point, Fang Xiu fully understood Yan Changshou's plan.
"You mean, you want me to kill the head of headquarters in front of everyone, which will definitely cause a stir, and then you will take advantage of the fact that everyone's attention is drawn to me to launch a sneak attack on Fang Moli?"
"That's right. The best way to deal with Fang Moli is to prevent him from taking out the Xuanyuan Sword. So we should take advantage of the moment when his attention is diverted to launch a surprise attack and strike first."
At Fang Moli's level, ordinary trivial matters are unlikely to attract his attention, but the death of the head of headquarters is no small matter.
"Your assassination attempt is the beginning of this plan. You assassinate, I ambush, and the Poker Organization will launch a surprise attack amidst the chaos. At that time, I will also unleash my pre-prepared mystical attacks, ultimately winning in the confusion!"
Fang Xiu nodded silently. It seemed that the content for the next prediction was ready to be finalized.
To get a more detailed plan, he continued to ask, "Since you are wary of the Xuanyuan Sword, what if Fang Moli, who was ambushed, is lucky enough to survive and then hands the sword over to another captain? How will you deal with that?"
Yan Changshou sneered slightly: "The Xuanyuan Sword is not something that anyone can use as they please. Looking at the entire headquarters, only Fang Moli can barely wield the Xuanyuan Sword."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"Because Fang Moli's domain is called the [Endless Sword Domain], his main ability is to control swords. It is with this ability that he can barely control the Xuanyuan Sword. This is why the headquarters gave him such a divine weapon to use, because only he can use it."
Therefore, if Fang Moli is rendered useless, it's equivalent to the Xuanyuan Sword being rendered useless.
Fang Xiu's heart stirred slightly. The domain of controlling the sword? Fang Moli, the number one spirit master in Asia, the endless sword domain.
He continued, "Why does it have to be me who assassinates him? The head of headquarters is, after all, just an ordinary person. There are plenty of people who could do something like assassination, aren't there?"
Yan Changshou shook his head: "The head of the headquarters always has a bodyguard by his side. His name is Xiao Zhenhua. He comes from the military and is also a fourth-level expert. His domain is called [Equality of All Beings], which is very troublesome. Its function is to prevent the spirit masters in the domain from using their abilities. With his protection, it is almost impossible to assassinate the head of the headquarters by other means."
So only you have the opportunity to assassinate him when the minister presents you with the award.
Remember, never give yourself away before the assassination. Xiao Zhenhua is an extremely observant man. Before becoming a Spirit Master, he was an all-around elite soldier, and he was upright and incorruptible, intolerant of any wrongdoing. After becoming a Spirit Master, he became even more extreme, believing in absolute justice and preferring to kill a thousand innocent people rather than let one guilty person go free.
So once he senses anything amiss with you, he won't care how valuable your ability to foresee the future is; he'll definitely take action immediately.
A field that renders people powerless? Equality for all... Xiao Zhenhua?
As Yan Changshou continued to reveal information, Fang Xiu felt more and more that the headquarters was truly a place where hidden talents lurked.
Those who can become captains at headquarters are no ordinary people; they are not only fourth-level spirit masters, but also the best among fourth-level spirit masters.
"Doesn't headquarters have any fifth-tier spirit masters?"
"Fifth rank? Heh." Yan Changshou sneered, "Don't even mention headquarters, you might not be able to find a single fifth-rank expert even if you look at the whole world. You can't raise sharks in a pond."
Fang Xiu understood Yan Changshou's subtext: although the speed of the strange invasion was accelerating, it was not yet enough to produce a fifth-tier spirit master. After all, the power of a spirit master ultimately came from the strange.
