The blood-red longsword is a divine weapon, extremely useful; Jiang Wang only needs to know this much.
As for prolonged use, one might be possessed by a Blood Blade expert and controlled by them.
Jiang Wang was even less afraid of this mess; to him, it was completely irrelevant.
Because after a period of time, he will be able to develop the secret technique of the Eye of God.
With this secret technique, he will break through to the fifth level of the Void Breaking Realm, which can be considered as opening up a new path.
Once you break through the bottleneck in your abilities, you'll naturally experience a period of accelerated growth.
The opponent is above the fifth level of the Void Breaking Realm, maybe even the seventh level.
This opponent is indeed very strong, but Jiang Wang is not afraid. If given the opportunity, he would like to have a match with him.
"It seems that Mr. Jiang Wang is quite confident in controlling this demonic sword."
The swordsmen looked at the blood-red longsword with lingering fear.
The scene of dozens of Blood Blade Society members recklessly throwing their lives away was still vivid in their minds.
Without a doubt, those people had become Blood Blade's puppets, and their lives were no longer in their own hands.
Jiang Wang casually found the scabbard on the corpse of Captain Blood Blade and put the sword back in its sheath with a look of disgust.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Jiang Wang, the World Serpent's actions are not just targeting you alone."
"It is said that the World Serpent has dispatched the person in charge of this grand plan to eliminate another Temple expert."
"That guy's name seems to be... Heras?"
The three musketeers then informed Jiang Wang of this very important information.
Jiang Wang's gaze instantly sharpened.
At this very moment, Horace is following the Pleasure Clan, who are disguised as bandit leaders, in a frenzied hunt for members of the World Serpent.
Unexpectedly, they were targeted by a master of the World Serpent.
That guy's name is Shuten-dōji, a super-high-ranking executive within World Serpent, and the person in charge of this grand plan.
“Mr. Jiang Wang, that guy’s strength is extraordinary. If you know that Heras, you should tell him to speed up the retreat.”
"Fighting that kind of monster is not a good thing. We need to deal with the World Serpent, so we need to conserve our strength for now."
"That's right, even the strongest should hide their strength for a while, so we can gang up on that guy later."
The three musketeers offered their suggestions.
Mercenaries prioritize stability and want to ensure absolute safety.
However, Jiang Wang had a different idea.
Why don't we let Heras have a go at this Shuten-dōji?
You see, Jiang Wang was very curious about the strength of this leader.
Moreover, Horace is also craving a formidable opponent.
Horace probably didn't get to fully enjoy the battle against the humanoid Scourge.
Indeed, Shuten-dōji was at the fifth level of the Void Breaking Realm, while Heras, even with his full power, was probably only at the fourth level.
The gap in strength is enormous.
But Horus was a seasoned and experienced warrior, and it was not difficult for him to fight against a stronger opponent.
"The new secret technique needs to be tested in this special setting as well."
Jiang Wang narrowed his eyes.
Without a doubt, these newly developed techniques are more than capable of easily defeating weaker opponents.
At most, it would just involve modifying the structure of the secret techniques and simplifying the methods so that more people could easily learn them.
The evenly matched battle yielded a considerable amount of intelligence, and some loopholes were indeed discovered.
After that, we can quickly patch and improve the vulnerabilities, and it will soon become a mature technique.
The secret technique works well in both winning and losing situations.
A completely new modification plan has now been developed, which can further enhance the arcane arts.
The next test will be of the "adverse situation".
The match between Heras and Shuten-dōji was undoubtedly a losing situation.
Jiang Wang was very curious about what kind of outcome such a battle would produce.
"Don't worry, I can't control what's going on over there. Let Shuten-dōji come and kill his way over here."
"The bigger the commotion, the better. We can go and provide support once the fighting is almost over."
Jiang Wang smiled and relayed the message to Heras.
He sent Horace to fight the powerful Shuten-dōji to see what the outcome would be.
Horace readily agreed, as he was never one to care about such things.
On the one hand, this was an instruction from Jiang Wang, the ruler, and he would not refuse.
On the other hand, he was indeed very eager to fight against strong opponents.
"Isn't it a bit too early to fight Shuten-dōji already?"
The three musketeers looked troubled.
"Ha, you think that guy would fight us?"
"I'm afraid he's thinking of a quick victory, and if we go to support him..."
"If he can't win quickly, he'll run away faster, which is only natural."
Jiang Wang said that he had figured out the details of these guys.
The World Serpent has made extensive preparations for this plan.
The power of the abyss restricted the temple and the administration, and several members were subsequently sacrificed.
For the sake of the bigger picture, he certainly wouldn't engage in a prolonged fight.
Especially Shuten-dōji, who is the leader, he has to make sure that nothing goes wrong with him.
Moreover, he had to suppress the World Serpent members under his command.
Even within this organization, there is no unity of purpose.
"After a long battle, that guy is exhausted and might even get injured."
"If he gets injured, his men might gang up on him."
"Their grand plan is almost ready; it doesn't really matter who executes it."
In other words, even if Shuten-dōji arrives, the grand plan can still proceed.
Moreover, many people are definitely thinking about replacing Shuten-dōji.
With one less boss, these members can get a bigger share of the profits.
"Speaking of which, you were previously employed by World Serpent. What are your thoughts on their plans?"
Jiang Wang asked, his expression showing curiosity and anticipation.
Perhaps these three people really do know something.
“We were just there to do odd jobs and handle trivial matters; we were just a shield they used to hide their whereabouts.”
Many things that the World Serpent does are easily exposed.
Therefore, they needed to use other people to handle the matter, and that's how they called in mercenaries.
“We only do some trivial tasks; they don’t let us access the core stuff.”
“We help with the work, but our status is even lower than that of the World Serpent’s unofficial staff.”
"So we know nothing."
The three musketeers shook their heads; they were telling the truth.
“That’s true. After all, you’re outsiders. You might leak information, and you might even be tempted by the money.”
Jiang Wang nodded.
The world's snakes are doing big things, and they've kept the secrets very well until now.
Jiang Wang still had no leads.
