Chapter 426: Chapter 12: Mortal Breaking Swordmaster

[Steel Body: Tier Nine, Upper Rank, possesses a body with resilience and solidity, with extremely strong life force.]

Zhao Changwen’s position wasn’t Perception Class, so he didn’t notice a sniper rifle mounted on the rooftop opposite him.

But he hadn’t completely lost his combat ability either, immediately getting up and pushing someone aside, running backward.

A look of surprise flashed in Jiang Wei’s eyes as he fired continuously at Zhao Wenchang’s back, hitting him once more.

Ignoring the pain behind him, Zhao Wenchang crashed through the kitchen window into the yard, glass shards scattering everywhere and stained with blood.

Sensing the pursuit behind him, he ran desperately towards the wall, where the sniper couldn’t see due to the house’s obstruction.

Su Changxing stood outside the wall, watching Zhao Wenchang run straight towards his position, not caring if Zhao Wenchang managed to escape, but rather interested in the broken sword in his hand.

[Bronze Broken Sword: An ancient and extraordinary sword containing some kind of power.]

This thing was likely the start of the accident.

As Zhao Wenchang flipped over the wall, he saw a dark figure, and then his mind went blank, collapsing to the ground.

Su Changxing took the broken sword from his hand, along with the other half of the sword from his arms, placing them in his backpack before quickly retreating.

“Did he get away?”

Jiang Wei caught up, frowning as he asked.

A man with a rifle on his back dragged Zhao Changwen out from the bushes, saying, “He passed out here.”

Jiang Wei’s expression relaxed a bit, saying: “He was really troublesome, almost got away… He had a bronze sword, look for where that thing fell.”

They searched around, including the yard and kitchen, but couldn’t find any trace of the broken sword.

Her face suddenly changed, saying: “Someone else was here earlier and took the broken sword.”

She guessed that thing might be related to an Extraordinary person, possibly Zhao Wenchang became Extraordinary due to that thing.

······

On their way back, Zhou An and others were sitting in the living room, having a late-night snack.

Zhou An saw Su Changxing come back, his mouth full of oil as he said:

“We just heard gunshots from next door, what happened?”

Su Changxing looked at the few people, calmly said: “I’m not sure either, I came back from the other side and happened to hear the gunshots as well.”

Zhou An seemed unconcerned and said: “We just baked some pizza, it tastes good, come and eat.”

Apart from Zhou An, the others seemed uneasy. Normally, they wouldn’t hear gunshots, let alone such intense ones.

“It indeed smells good.”

Su Changxing walked over, picked up a slice, tasted it, and said: “Did you make this yourself?”

Zhou An smiled and said: “Sort of, it’s a semi-finished product, just needed to use the oven to bake it.”

Yi Yaqi chimed in: “You’re quite diligent when it comes to food.”

Zhou An grumbled discontentedly: “I’m diligent in everything I do.”

Wang Liang took a big bite of pizza and affirmed: “I have to say, Brother Zhou’s cooking tastes really good.”

Huang Keying nodded thoughtfully and said: “Indeed, but eating like this might make us gain weight.”

With Su Changxing’s return, the atmosphere shifted from tense to cheerful.

Su Changxing didn’t mention that Liu Yi and others were dead, thinking they’d continue to disappear, the police wouldn’t announce the truth for now, maintaining the current stability is their priority.

In the study with Zhou An, Su Changxing placed the two parts of the broken sword on the table.

“What is this? Looks quite ancient.”

Zhou An asked curiously.

Su Changxing shrugged and said: “Not sure, snatched it, but it should be related to an Extraordinary person.”

Zhou An picked up the broken sword, showing a look of astonishment and said: “Snatched? Brother Su, you’re really bold, could it be those gunshots were really related to you.”

Su Changxing shook his head and said: “Not really, I was just passing by, the killer was caught, that Jiang Wei should be from Chenxi.”

“This…”

Zhou An noticed the broken sword in his hand emitted a bluish glow, the copper rust flaking off, revealing a polished sword body.

His aura and the broken sword produced traces of connection.

The copper rust on the other part of the broken sword also began to flake off, and the two parts fitted perfectly together, with no gaps, like precision parts recently polished.

Zhou An remained silent for a long time, then looked up with one eye wide open, a strange expression as he said:

“Brother Su, I seem to have a new advanced position again, but this is kind of peculiar, like… cultivating immortality.”

Cultivating immortality?

Su Changxing received the broken sword from Zhou An, a message appeared on his phone.

[A longsword of a deceased sword cultivator, though broken, still preserved its legacy…]

[Mortal breaking swordmaster: Tier Eight, Upper Rank, condenses spiritual aura to consecrate the sword, physically weak, can control flying sword by will, subsequently belongs to Positioning System (Cultivation System), further advancement requires special Dharma Gate assistance.

Note: Can exchange for corresponding Dharma Gate at the Doomsday Shop]

“…”

“You don’t say, it’s really something like cultivating immortality, which means there really were cultivators before, or similar existences have been here.”

Su Changxing showed a pensive expression, not too surprised, this was within expectations, continued saying:

“So, do you want to advance to a Mortal breaking swordmaster, or the previous Terror Master?”

This direction should be well-suited for Zhou An, or he wouldn’t have triggered it, the Juggler itself matches with the ability to control flying sabers and Mortal breaking swordmaster.

Zhou An showed an excited expression and said: “Of course this one, it’s an Immortal, after all, achieving immortality. Plus, I can exchange the Doomsday Game rewards for a chance to advance, two birds with one stone.”

Su Changxing looked at Zhou An and smiled: “Then this thing is yours, I look forward to the day you become an Immortal.”

As it stands, this is a very good advancement path, a new domain, also a new possibility.

······

“Beep beep beep~”

Su Changxing took a short nap in bed, suddenly opened his eyes, picked up his phone to check, and there was a new message.

[All survivors of the zombie apocalypse are granted Player status, with Level One privileges, and can summon the Doomsday Shop at night with points.]

[The Doomsday Shop is a benefit provided to all players in the Doomsday Game, containing various items for selection.]
