'Pfft!'
'Pfft!'
Two consecutive sounds echoed. The Bloodshadow Battle Sword's blade light pierced directly through the necks of the white-haired elder and the white man, Karon…
The two High-Level War Generals followed in Li Wei's footsteps, instantly being killed.
Since he had attacked, Jiang Li naturally wouldn't leave any troubles for the Firehammer Squad.
Killing them to silence them was the simplest and most direct method!
At the same time.
Boom!
Jiang Li's spear once again forced Kitahara Tsuyoshi back over ten meters, his eyes slightly narrowed.
The Bloodshadow Battle Sword immediately slashed across the sky, transforming into a crimson blood-colored light that cut towards Kitahara Tsuyoshi from the other side. With Li Wei's warning, Kitahara Tsuyoshi instantly shifted sideways, roaring as he fiercely swung his blade.
Clang!
The sword and blade collided. Kitahara Tsuyoshi was once again forced back more than ten meters, leaving two long marks on the ground beneath his feet.
"It seems an Intermediate God of War is nothing special!"
That's right, Jiang Li hadn't used his full strength from the start.
He just wanted to use Kitahara Tsuyoshi to test the approximate combat strength of the God of War realm, and then find an opportunity to kill him with the Bloodshadow Battle Sword.
Too bad that idiot Li Wei exposed it, which became his path to death.
After all, from the beginning to the end, Jiang Li never intended to kill him.
"Ninefold Thunderblade!"
Jiang Li wouldn't give Kitahara Tsuyoshi a chance to breathe. Holding the Bloodshadow Battle Sword, he leaped high. With a single slash, he swept down towards Kitahara Tsuyoshi with the force of a landslide. At the same time, the Bloodshadow Battle Sword also suddenly spun, drawing an eerie arc in the air, shooting towards Kitahara Tsuyoshi from behind.
"Die!"
Kitahara Tsuyoshi's eyes blazed like lightning, seemingly ignoring what was behind him!
After blocking Jiang Li's Ninefold Thunderblade with his shield, his figure moved like a ghost, and at first glance, it seemed like there were now two Kitahara Tsuyoshis.
"Idiot!"
Seeing this, Jiang Li just sneered.
This kind of ninjutsu, similar to those before the Great Nirvana, was like a clown show within the range of his spiritual force.
"Taiji Sword Intent!"
Jiang Li's eyes flickered, instantly discerning the truth from the illusion. His qi and blood surged, concentrating all his power onto his arm as he thrust his sword towards Kitahara Tsuyoshi, who was charging at him.
Kitahara Tsuyoshi, who had been able to withstand Jiang Li's attacks before, changed his expression drastically. He could only desperately raise his shield to block.
It should be known that Jiang Li's warrior strength was now at the level of an Initial God of War, with a power limit exceeding 64 tons. Even without any power amplification, the boost from the Sword Intent alone wasn't something an Intermediate God of War could withstand!
Boom!
Over five hundred tons of brutal force slammed into Kitahara Tsuyoshi's shield.
Crack!
The terrifying force directly shattered Kitahara Tsuyoshi's left arm, which was protected by a shield. His entire arm, along with his body, spun like a windmill for several rounds before crashing into a dilapidated residential building hundreds of meters away.
Boom!
The entire residential building collapsed, and dust filled the air.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Kitahara Tsuyoshi, as expected of an Intermediate God of War, was able to gasp for breath even though half his body was almost shattered.
However, with each breath, blood spurted out.
Jiang Li naturally wouldn't give him any chance to catch his breath. Amidst the swirling dust, a crimson red light shot through the air, directly piercing Kitahara Tsuyoshi's open mouth. The terrifying impact caused his entire head to explode.
He considered himself cautious enough, having memorized all the individuals he couldn't afford to offend.
Yet, he hadn't expected to fall at the hands of an unknown Spiritualist.
"Although I don't fear Vulture Li Yao, it's not easy to kill him now!"
Jiang Li retracted the Bloodshadow Battle Sword, glancing at the corpses of Li Wei and the other two, pondering slightly, "If it's exposed, Li Yao won't be able to do anything to me, but he'll likely target the Firehammer Squad…"
"I can only let him investigate slowly."
After the battle with Kitahara Tsuyoshi, Jiang Li had a clear understanding of his current strength.
Although his spiritual force was different from that of a normal Spiritualist, it was only stronger, not weaker.
Even against a High-Level God of War, he was confident he could retreat unscathed.
However, he knew that Li Yao possessed the Black God Suit. To kill a High-Level God of War wearing the Black God Suit with the strength of an Initial God of War was nearly impossible!
"Hmm? Luo Feng left a message?"
After Jiang Li left the scene, he opened his communicator and learned that Luo Feng and the others had retreated back to the rooftop they first visited in City 003.
On the other side.
Jiangnan Base City, main urban area.
One of the most luxurious residential areas in the country, the Jiangnan Mountains and Rivers residential area, the mountaintop villa of Huayao Peak.

'Beep!'
A sharp notification sound caused the middle-aged man, who was meditating, to abruptly open his eyes.
Even with his immense reputation as a top-tier powerhouse, the High-Level God of War known as Vulture, Li Yao, revealed a look of terror on his grim face: "A-Wei!"
"Connect to Li Wei's two bodyguards!"
Li Yao immediately issued a voice command, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. "They're dead too?!"
'Whoosh!'
Li Yao instantly transformed into an afterimage, crashing directly into the villa's audio-visual room. A blurred figure materialized before him.
"Activate warrior search mode!"
"Confirm the coordinates of my son, Li Wei!"
"Search for the location of any Gods of War within a hundred kilometers."
Li Yao's face was filled with killing intent, issuing one command after another.
"There's a God of War named Kitahara Tsuyoshi within a hundred kilometers of Li Wei."
The old man in the black suit, whose form was conjured from a virtual image, spoke.
"Kitahara Tsuyoshi?"
"Connect to Kitahara Tsuyoshi's communicator!"
Li Yao frowned. Kitahara Tsuyoshi had been sent to rescue Li Wei at his request, so there was no way he could have attacked him.
"No response."
"How could this be?"
Li Yao's expression changed drastically. Unlike low-level martial artists who had to be cautious in the wilderness, fearing that the sound of their communicators would attract other monsters, a God of War did not have such concerns.
No response could only mean two things!
Either Kitahara Tsuyoshi was in trouble! Or, he was the murderer!
"Search for High-Level War Generals within a hundred kilometers!"
Li Yao wasn't going to consider Kitahara Tsuyoshi's situation first, not even a hint of suspicion could be overlooked.
"Searching for Gods of War can be done through the God of War Palace's shared system, but searching for War Generals requires S-class authorization from the Alliance."
The old man in the black suit spoke.
This search system was a contingency plan left behind by the HR Alliance when they monopolized communicators, it could be used to locate warriors through their communication signals.
It was just that this kind of thing was not something that could be brought out into the open. Only the higher-ups of the HR Alliance were qualified to search.
Obviously.
Li Yao, being a High-Level God of War, did not have that qualification.
And at this moment.
A white woman with golden hair rushed in instantly, her eyes red, and she sobbed, "Yao, Li Wei is dead!!!"
"Now you can search!"
Li Yao issued the command again.
The old man in the black suit glanced at the white woman.
She was the current executive president of the HR Alliance in the Hanxia Kingdom, and the younger sister of the current head of the Polenas Family, one of the nine core families of the HR Alliance.
A High-Level God of War with S-class authority in the HR Alliance: Vinina Polenas.
"Search!"
Vinina repeated the order.
"Yes!"
A virtual map immediately appeared in front of the black-suited old man. The red dot in the center of the map indicated the location of Li Wei's body.
Five light points appeared within a hundred miles of Li Wei's location.
"Within a hundred miles, there are a total of five High-Level War General level warriors!"
"Display their information and their distance from Li Wei's location!"
At Li Yao's command, lines of data appeared before them.
"Five High-Level War Generals. We can rule out the two bodyguards of A-Wei. We can also rule out Jiang Li at the edge, even if he is a Spiritualist; it's impossible for him to escape thirty kilometers in one minute!"
"The other two are also twenty kilometers away!"
Li Yao's expression was grim. Five suspects, and two were already dead.
Another was thirty kilometers away. Even a God of War, with a supersonic burst of speed, would find it difficult to escape thirty kilometers in one minute.
"Damn it!"
Li Yao gritted his teeth. All the current evidence pointed towards Kitahara Tsuyoshi!
