Ancient Tears BloodLine

509 Part 2: Investigation



From MC's perspective:

"Blood Fist"

My punch lands on the opponent's chest. The punch tore through the opponent's body leaving behind a massive hole in his chest. The blood splattered. 

Tud!

The next moment, the Super Elite Warrior dropped dead on the ground.

The other three warriors rose from the ground to fight. But the sudden changes caught them off guard.

At the same time, I dashed toward the opponent. Unlike the previous attack, the warriors stopped engaging in close combat.

The next second, I gripped my black and started to charge with the purple essence. In a blink of an eye, the black blade shone with the purple arc.

By that time, I found another sword attack coming at me. 

A trace of apprehension appeared in their eyes. They seem to realize the danger of lightning. 

Seeing the purple arc one of them tried to retreat.

"Sword Divide,"

I release charged power targeting the nearest one. A beam of purple lightning shot at the Super Elite Warrior. 

The attack was so fast that he wasn't able to defend himself properly. 

Boom~

The lightning beam comes into contact with the body. The next second, an explosion happens.

Dust rose from the ground. The shock wave again swept away the nearby pebbles. 

The other two are dumbstruck by the turn of events. They failed to kill the Elite Warrior. Two of them found something wrong. 

After glancing at each other, they decided to flee.

At the same time, I caught their actions in my perception. Seeing that they are up to something. 

"Lightning finger technique,"

I used the lighting finger technique against one of them. The powerful lightning shot at the enemy.

The Super Elite Warrior tries to block the attack by using the sword.

Boom~

But the sword blade broke into pieces. And the remaining lightning power lands a heavy blow to his body.

Seeing the state of his friend, the remaining Super Elite Warrior starts to flee. 

Seeing that my eyes grew cold. I don't know what they are doing here. So I can't let him escape.

So before giving him a chase. I used a blood fist technique to attack the standing warrior. 

Creak~

The enemy's dantian collapses making him crippled. Without turning back, I used the lightning phantom technique to catch the last one.

The next moment, two shadows appeared. They looked at the condition of three Super Elite Warriors. One was dead. The other two fell unconscious due to heavy injuries on their body.

If they left here like that, they would bleed to death.

The two SS-Elite guardians looked at each other. A trace of shock was written on their faces. 

Seeing the number of enemies. Earlier, they wanted to intervene. But somehow Zack was able to defeat them within a few moves.

"Have you noticed one thing?" The male warrior asked, pointing his finger at the corpse which had a massive hole in its chest.

The female guardian blinked her eyes. Seeing the massive hole in the chest. She was shocked to the core. They have been watching duels from the beginning. 

Both saw Zack using his brute strength to kill the first one.

And these two are in a miserable state because of the lightning attacks.

The female guardian thought of something and replied, "Is it because of bloodline?"

A quick glint flashes in the male guardian's eyes. 

He said, "It's possible."

"No wonder, the dean is so protective of him."

"Let's go and see. What happened to the last," The female guardian said.

These two people are elders. So they knew some of the secret information. Apart from the elemental warriors, there are warriors blessed with bloodline powers. 

The bloodline powers offer superhuman strength with other abilities. So they mistook Zack's body cultivation for bloodline.

Meanwhile,

"Leave me alone," The remaining Super Elite Warrior said out loud. After seeing his companions' miserable state, his mentality was broken.

He just wants to escape from here.

My eyes grew cold. Already, the blood fist attack made him half-crippled. He is barely able to move his body. 

"Tell me who you are?"

"And what are you guys doing here?" I asked him.

The Super Elite Warrior was left speechless. He knew the consequences of betraying the leader. So he is still hoping for a chance to escape.

Seeing the warrior is not answering me. I raised my fist again.

The warrior's expression becomes pale with bright. He had just witnessed the power of an ordinary-looking punch. 

"Wait a second!"

"We are from sharp daggers."

"Our leader wants us to trans..." before he could finish his words his soul was broken due to the violation of restriction placed on his soul.

Tud!

His eyes went black and the body dropped dead on the ground. 

Seeing that my expression turned dark. I understood that some kind of ban was placed on them. 

So they can't spill the truth. Fortunately, I got some useful information. 

"Sharp Daggers," I uttered solemnly. It's not the name of the academy. But third-party organizations. Maybe a mercenary force.

After figuring it out, I walked to the corpse to retrieve the storage ring. By the time I came back, I found one of them had already succumbed to the injuries.

And the other one was unconscious. 

What to do now? I can't interrogate him because of the ban. If I do that, the same trigger will happen.

Meanwhile, the guardians hiding in the dark had reported to the dean about the news.

Beep~

My communication watches lit up with a notification.

When I saw the contact name. A realization struck my mind. It's Dean. She had told me to update her from time to time.

I attended the call. A small holographic projection appears above the watch.

"Zack, where are you?"

"What are you doing?" Dean's face appeared in projection as well as her question reached my ears.

For a moment, I'm stunned. Because the timing was perfect. Then I spoke to her about the confrontation that had happened now. Including the underground mortar cell.

And I also revealed the name "Sharp Daggers."

I couldn't see her expression through this projection. I want to know whether she knows about the Sharp Daggers.

"Zack, you can come back now after checking the cellar. You don't have to go to the gorge," Dean Rebecca's sharp voice sounded after a few minutes.

I nodded my head in response. I too feel it's good to return. We don't know who we are dealing with. Four Super Elite Warriors are found here. Then what about the gorge? 

I don't want to fight against several teams. That situation would be scary. Besides, my purple essence was almost depleted. 

So it's not wise to stay here anymore. After ending the call, I removed the remaining storage ring from each corpse. 

After collecting that, I placed all of them in mine. Then my attention turned toward the underground cellar.

I walked to the spot and found the entrance leading to the small hideout. I stepped downwards. And at the same time, I'm using my perception to check the surroundings. 

When I walked inside. I realized this is one single room. Some wooden boxes are kept in the corner of the walls.

A strange glint flashes in my eyes. I recalled the last guy's words. Four of them perhaps came here to move this thing.

In curiosity, I walked to the box and opened it.

The next second, a vicious smell attacked my nostril.

I closed the box abruptly and moved backward. 

For a moment, I felt grave danger. I saw some deadly herbs inside the box. From the smell alone, I can tell that the items are poisonous.

I broke out in a cold sweat. After calming down my heart, I decided to hand it over to Dean herself.

My curiosity died down and I simply placed all the wooden boxes in my storage ring. Then I used my perception to check this place one more time.

After confirming, the room was clean without hidden items. I walked back to the surface. Then I picked up the body of the unconscious one and rushed back to Viper City.

At the same time, a hint of approval flashes in the guardians' eyes. They watched the whole process. They are satisfied by seeing how Zack handled everything. 

Then they followed Zack from behind.

Time passed,

After several hours of non-stop flying, I got close to Viper City. To keep the criminal's vitality alive, I fed him with healing pills. 

His veins and meridians were broken. He was not in a state of retaliation at all. By the time I entered Viper City, I was greeted by the Five Elders from the academy.

Unlike the Faction Heads, they are a hidden force of the academy. Feeling the pressure similar to Faction Heads. I guessed they are SS-Elite or above as well.

I simply handed over the unconscious criminal to them. After exchanging a few words, the elders went back.

A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. The overall situation feels overwhelming. Fortunately, I was able to subdue the culprits. 

Then I made my way toward the monster facility to return to the academy.
