Chapter 526 (2/2)

However, if he were to recover his body’s condition, what would happen to the method of countering the Swordless Sword? He had a deep craving to read the contents and perfect his sword technique.

Asto scanned through it with his Heaven’s Perception and recorded the words and patterns left on his body. However, the feelings and aura he sensed were both extremely profound, preventing him from comprehending it within just a short moment.

Should he leave these scars on his body? If he were to do that, he could forget about going out in public again.

“Ahhhh!!!!”

Asto let out an agonizing cry which sounded like the cry of a wild beast that was on the verge of death. Then, bringing along a series of afterimages, he disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Asto’s final decision was to find a deserted location and first study the method of countering his sword technique thoroughly.

By then, both Zhou Xingwen and Anderson had already arrived next to Lilia and were looking at her in slight disbelief.

Anderson, especially, was wearing an extremely complicated expression. “Lilia, how on earth did you do that?”

Lilia’s face flushed red as she smiled and said, “It wasn’t me. Master was the one who did that.”

“Xingjian?”

At the next moment, Fang Xingjian emerged from the spatial gaps. Upon seeing his appearance, Zhou Xingwen broke into a surprised expression. “Xingjian, you’ve come out from your seclusion?”

Fang Xingjian nodded. “Call everyone over. Get the Head of Department and Governor here as well. I have some matters to discuss.”

Zhou Xingwen nodded excitedly. Fang Xingjian’s return from his seclusion was too timely. Moreover, having just seen how easily Fang Xingjian had defeated Asto, Zhou Xingwen could not stop grinning.

During this period of time, they had suffered a lot under Asto’s hands.

Thinking of Asto, Zhou Xingwen could not help but say, “Oh, right, Benjamin’s side…”

Fang Xingjian replied nonchalantly, “Don’t worry. As long as Asto manages to comprehend the sword technique on his body, he won’t dare to go against me anymore. As for Deputy Governor Benjamin sent by the First Prince… There will be someone else to deal with him. Regardless if it’s Asto or Benjamin, they will feel too ashamed to want to handle the matters of the Great Western Region.”

…

From the back door of a luxurious manor in Great Western City, Tyrant jumped over the wall with a light leap. By the time he landed on the ground again, he had already taken on the appearance of a maid.

Following the path leading deeper into the manor, he passed by a corner and saw a group of maids. By that time, he had already turned into a fully equipped guard.

Advancing just like that while changing continuously, Tyrant arrived at the manor’s master bedroom in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the decor in the master bedroom, Tyrant’s lips twitched. ‘He’s quite rich.’ However, recalling the things he had in the Gates of the Netherworld, Tyrant started grinning.

He took a look in the master bedroom, the study, and then finally the toilet.

‘If I were to turn into a toilet bowl, I would definitely catch everyone by surprise, right?

‘That’s not right. A Demigod seems to not need to poop.

‘Then what if I were to turn into a bed? A Demigod doesn’t need to sleep either…

‘Hmmm, if it’s at the study desk, there are plenty of books and documents that have been flipped through. There are also signs of usage. It seems that he still maintains the habits from when he was a mortal when dealing with work.’

Thinking of this, Tyrant eventually walked behind the study desk, and then reached out his hand to store the chair into the Gates of the Netherworld.

Next, hints of gray light flashed on his body as he activated level 5 black magic—Flesh-matter Transformation. In that instant, his entire body had turned into a chair that looked the same as the original one.

It was not just in appearance. Even the physical structures of the chair were exactly the same as the original one.

This level 5 black magic allowed him to turn himself into some commonly seen material. In the past, Tyrant would not have been able to sustain it for very long even if he were to activate it, as he had been unable to transfer his will onto a physical item for an extended period of time.

However, ever since he started training together with Fang Xingjian, he had continued to temper his will incessantly. Right now, even if he were to turn his physical body from flesh to another material, he would also be able to sustain the state for six hours.
