Chapter 173: Great Divine Ability!

Maiguzhidi.

"Saint Son, our mission is complete; it is time to return," a man said respectfully.

Standing beside him was the Netherworld Mansion Saint Son, Zhang Fan.

They had come here this time to train in Maiguzhidi; this place is quite dangerous, but it allows one to rapidly improve their cultivation—crisis and opportunity coexist.

This time, Zhang Fan spent three years training, and he happened to raise his cultivation to the peak of the God Venerable Realm, which is truly a joyous and congratulatory matter.

And beside him was Zhang Fan's follower, whose strength was also at the peak of the God Venerable Realm.

Such cultivation is sufficient in this place.

"Many people died during this training, and the snatching of opportunities was the same," Zhang Fan sighed.

"Let us go."

The two turned and left.

However, just at this moment, a sense of crisis arrived.

The sixth sense of both was warning them.

"Do you feel it?" Zhang Fan looked around at the man.

The man nodded: "I feel it, a very intense sense of crisis. Who could it be?"

Just as they were puzzled, not far ahead, a Rainbow Light shot toward them.

It crashed directly into Zhang Fan, with no sign of stopping its speed at all.

"Oh no, Saint Son, watch out!!"

The man's expression changed drastically, and he took the initiative to block in front of Zhang Fan.

Boom! The next second, his entire body was smashed to pieces, turning into chunks of flesh filling the sky.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan's pupils dilated, and he was completely stunned.

What kind of thing could so easily smash a peak God Venerable Realm existence to pieces? The Rainbow Light turned into a figure, who lifted a hand slightly, took all the man's storage rings into his hand, and then put them into his own pocket.

As for the fact that this guy died, he did not care at all, as if it were not his doing.

"You are Zhang Fan? The Netherworld Mansion Saint Son?"

Ma Hongjun looked at the youth in front of him and said indifferently.

"That is correct, I am the Netherworld Mansion Saint Son, Zhang Fan! Your Excellency directly smashed my follower to death; shouldn't you give me an explanation!?"

Zhang Fan's eyes were filled with anger and coldness.

However, someone who could easily smash a peak God Venerable to death also indicated that the person before him was no ordinary person.

He had to deal with this carefully.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have already struck to kill him and avenge his follower.

The person in front of him was simply not giving him, Zhang Fan, any face!

This was a very serious matter!

"Knowing that is enough. An explanation? Does me sending you down to join him count as an explanation?" Ma Hongjun chuckled.

The next second, he decisively struck at Zhang Fan.

"How dare you!" Zhang Fan was instantly enraged.

"You are a Saint!"

Sensing from the aura, the aura of the guy in front of him had already surpassed the scope of the God Venerable Realm, and he had only ever felt such an aura from his master; in other words, the guy in front of him was a Saint of the Sacred Realm! Without saying another word, he turned and fled at his fastest speed.

"Want to run? Too late."

Ma Hongjun turned into a stream of light and shot toward Zhang Fan.

At the same time, the surrounding world fell into a state of stillness.

This was precisely his divine skill: End Time!

Boom!!!!!!!! After one strike, Zhang Fan's body was pierced through, and the Southern Bright Li Fire burned mercilessly.

Both flesh and soul were annihilated.

A storage ring landed in Ma Hongjun's hand; this contained all of Zhang Fan's wealth.

"Target hunt completed." Ma Hongjun clenched his fist and smiled faintly.

This hunting mission was actually quite simple; it was not as difficult as imagined.

"Ding, hunt completed. Reward: Cultivation raised to the mid-stage of the Sacred Realm! Obtained Great Divine Ability: Chaos Opening Slash!"

The next second, Ma Hongjun felt his cultivation rise to the mid-stage of the Sacred Realm, and he also learned a Great Divine Ability.

Once this Great Divine Ability is unleashed with full power, it allows him to slay a God Emperor in the Sacred Realm! These were completely effortless!

With a thought, the character interface appeared.

Hunting and Strengthening System Host: Ma Hongjun Realm: Mid-stage Sacred Realm Great Divine Ability: Chaos Opening Slash

(Only displays what the system gives) "The host can choose to continue executing missions or rest."

The system was quite thoughtful.

"Continue."

Ma Hongjun said.

"Hunting mission issued: Annihilate the Netherworld Mansion. Reward: Unknown!"

Ma Hongjun's eyes narrowed: "System, playing this big this time?"

"List out all of the Netherworld Mansion's trump cards and combat power information for me."

Ma Hongjun said immediately.

Very quickly, the system provided the answer.

A long information panel appeared before his eyes.

Ma Hongjun took a closer look.

He finally confirmed that there were a total of four Sacred Realm existences in the entire Netherworld Mansion.

Three of them were the Master of the Netherworld Mansion, who was at the early stage of the Sacred Realm.

The other two were the Protector Elders of the Netherworld Mansion, at the middle stage and late stage of the Sacred Realm, respectively.

The last one was an old antique hidden deep within the Netherworld Mansion who had been in a state of slumber, at the peak of the Sacred Realm.

This fellow had suffered very serious injuries and did not have much lifespan left, so he dared not easily emerge into the world.

Even so, Ma Hongjun expressed that the difficulty of this mission had already exceeded the scope of his level.

"System, I am only at the middle stage of the Sacred Realm, and there are four Saints in here, two of whom have cultivation levels higher than mine," Ma Hongjun said.

System: "You have great divine abilities, what are you afraid of? If you use all your methods, you are easily invincible among those of the same realm! You can ignore small rank gaps."

Ma Hongjun: "Shouldn't you give some extra rewards?"

This was his true goal.

However, the system stated: "None, take it or leave it."

"I'll do it," Ma Hongjun said.

"Get lost," the system said.

Ma Hongjun departed via Phoenix Transformation.

He wandered along the way until he headed toward Maiguzhidi.

At the same time, inside the Netherworld Mansion, things were no longer peaceful.

The Right Protector Elder's expression changed, and he said angrily: "Fan'er is dead! Who did it! Which thousand-knife-slashing bastard!"

"What?! Zhang Fan is dead?"

Upon hearing this, the Left Protector Elder and the Master of the Netherworld Mansion had their expressions change drastically.

Zhang Fan was the most talented prodigy they had ever had, and he was also the face of the Netherworld Mansion; now you are telling me the person is gone? "The urgent matter at hand is that we must find out who did it."

"He was in Maiguzhidi; how could it be easy to find the murderer?"

"Perhaps he was killed by the Divine Beast inside."

Soon, all three of them calmed down.

"This is the consequence of entering Maiguzhidi, and this was also his choice."

"I want to go and check on this matter personally, otherwise I cannot be at ease."

"If it was truly done by a Divine Beast of Maiguzhidi, this old man will exterminate it; if it was done by a human, this old man will find them and kill them!"

The Right Protector Elder said with cold eyes.

His strength had reached the late stage of the Sacred Realm, and in his rage, the atmosphere of the entire great hall followed his lead.

"Fine, you go," the Master of the Netherworld Mansion and the Left Protector Elder looked at each other and nodded.

Now that it had reached this point, there was no need to stop him.

Looking at his appearance, he would absolutely not let this matter rest until he found a result this time.

The Right Protector Elder flew up and quickly rushed toward Maiguzhidi.

"It really is an eventful autumn."

"First the Blood Soul Clan was gone, and now even Zhang Fan has met with an accident."

The Master of the Netherworld Mansion sighed.

"Changes and accidents are always uncontrollable variables."

The Left Protector Elder shook his head.
