Chapter 75 - Three Bodyguards, a Battle of Wills

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Blow after blow of brute force rained down. Jiang Li, with his relentless attacks, forced the Willow King to its knees. With a deafening crash, the towering Willow King was snapped in half.

"Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart!"

As the Willow King fell, Jiang Li's mental power immediately detected an oval crystal about the size of a fist. A streak of green flowed within it, interwoven with a hint of gold. Just looking at it with the naked eye was enough to stir the soul.

Jiang Li's eyes flickered. His mental power quickly lifted the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart, bringing it before him.

"With this, I probably wouldn't need to spend points to buy spirit stones to break through to planet level!"

Jiang Li smiled and put the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart into the inner pocket of his combat suit.

Boom!

At this moment, the last willow tree was also felled by Chu Qiang.

"Haha, we succeeded!"

Liu Zheng was extremely excited, looking at the fallen Willow King, dancing and excitedly saying, "Jiang Li, you're amazing! You even took down the Willow King!"

"From now on, you're my idol, Jiang Li!"

Jiang Li: "..."

"Liu Zheng, be serious!"

Seeing his brother's excited antics, Chu Qiang was quite helpless.

"Here are six Wood Spirits."

Chu Qiang handed a backpack to Jiang Li, and said with a sigh, "I heard before that Brother Jiang Li's amplitude was over thirty, it seems it wasn't a rumor!"

"Now isn't the time to talk about this."

Jiang Li glanced at the sky. A black stream of light pierced through the air, and then everyone heard a series of booming sounds.

Everyone's faces changed, not knowing which faction had arrived first!

And just as Cartland of the Polenas Family arrived at Mist Island, a purple-red triangular fighter jet was crossing the ocean at an unbelievable speed.

There were only two people inside the jet.

One of them was handsome, appearing to be in his early thirties.

However, his eyes were calm and deep, and a faint smile always played on the corners of his mouth, making him seem carefree.

He was none other than Liu He, one of the five major inspectors who had approved ninety-nine SS-Rank Blood Shadow Battle Swords for Jiang Li.

"Even you're here this time. It seems the master really values this Mist Island!"

Inspector Liu He looked at the man beside him, who was also wearing a combat suit.

His identity was even more mysterious to the outside world; he was one of Hong's legendary Three Bodyguards, nicknamed Iceberg.

"The fact that a Wood Spirit and a Willow King can be born here means this Mist Island isn't simple!"

Iceberg wore a golden mask, his voice very low: "But you don't need to worry. I won't take action unless it's necessary."

"Once I make a move, according to the rules of the Limit Martial Arts Gym, we'll need to split the spoils."

According to the rules of the Limit Martial Arts Gym, the member who discovers a treasure site gets 10% of the total haul, while the combatants split 30%, with the remaining 60% going to the gym.

If Iceberg doesn't get involved, then Liu He gets the entire 30%.

"Haha, I really don't believe there's anything on that island I can't handle!" Liu He said with a smile.

He, a being who surpassed the Battle God, had numerous methods at his disposal. Looking at the whole world, there were very few places that could make him suffer!

Outside Mist Island, Australia.

A black fighter jet could be seen circling in the sky.

The hatch opened, and three figures, like graceful swallows, leaped down from the jet.

"Cartland!"

Seeing the newcomer, Candice immediately went to greet him obsequiously.

The other elite training camp学员's faces subtly changed, the muscles on their faces twitching involuntarily.

"It's him, Illusion Demon Cartland!"

"No wonder Candice looked so confident!"

"Sigh, the Wood Spirit has nothing to do with us now!"

"A high-level war god, and also a mentalist, I estimate that Jiang Li isn't his match!"

"Huh? The battle inside is over?"

"What a pity, all our efforts have been in vain! Jiang Li is ultimately just a stepping stone for someone else!"

Seeing Illusion Demon Cartland approach, many of the students felt deep regret for Jiang Li, who had fought so hard.

"This is bad, have they succeeded?"

The battle ended. Candice's expression immediately changed, and he said in fluent English, "Cartland, the Wood Spirit is inside. Before you arrived, Jiang Li and Chu Qiang had gone in..."

"They may have already succeeded!"

"Jiang Li?"

Cartland's eyes narrowed slightly. Lately, the name he had heard the most was this one. "Go!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Seeing Cartland go in, Candice, William, and the other students couldn't resist their curiosity and followed suit, also entering with a "whoosh."

Inside Mist Island.

It was a mess, with broken branches and fallen willows everywhere.

"They're here."

Jiang Li took the backpack containing the six Wood Spirits and threw it into the alloy box, saying, "Senior Brother Shi Jiang, Senior Sister Zhao Ruo, we'll distribute the Wood Spirits after we go out!"

"Alright!"

Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo nodded in unison.

"Hmm?"

"Illusion Demon Cartland?!"

Chu Qiang's expression immediately darkened as he saw the black-robed figure in the lead. He whispered, "Jiang Li, he's also a Spiritualist, and a high-level Battle God!"

Shi Jiang, Zhao Ruo, and Liu Zheng's expressions also changed as they looked over.

They saw three human martial artists flash over from not far away. Behind them followed a group of elite training camp students from the European region. Seeing the nine willow trees and the Willow King felled, their expressions went through several changes. Shock was even mixed with a hint of greed.

"Be sensible and hand over the Wood Spirit!"

Before Cartland could speak, William shouted first.

"William, are you threatening us?"

Chu Qiang's voice turned cold. His gaze was sharp, and William shrank his neck, hiding behind the students.

The trainees in the elite training camp all knew that Chu Qiang had joined the military of the Celestial Xia Kingdom a year ago. He could shout a few times, but they really didn't dare to do anything to him!

Even Cartland was the same; no family could withstand the wrath of a major nation's military.

"You can take five Wood Spirits away!"

Cartland's eyes were deep as he swept over Chu Qiang, Shi Jiang, and the others, finally landing on Jiang Li, who was wearing a white combat suit: "You are Jiang Li?"

As he spoke.

Cartland's eyes narrowed, and an invisible mental force surged out.

"Hmm?"

The instant Jiang Li met his gaze, it was as if a special power pierced through his eyes, directly hitting his soul, attempting to make his consciousness fall into a trance.

Just.

His soul was incredibly powerful, so when this invisible force struck, it vanished instantly, like a clay ox entering the sea.

"Cough! Cough!"

Cartland's expression shifted, and after a few coughs, he said, "There are probably more than nine Wood Spirits on this island. Let's look somewhere else!"

"Let's go!"

With that.

Cartland glanced at Kaita and Ivan beside him. The three of them had fought countless battles together, and a single look was enough for them to understand each other.

"Whoosh!"

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Cartland of the Illusion Demon Eye, Blood Shadow Ivan, and Giant Bear Kaita, the three powerhouses, vanished almost simultaneously, heading deep into Mist Island.

William was dumbfounded.

Candice was also stunned.

The elite training camp students were even more bewildered.

What?

What was going on?!

Had they been frightened off by Jiang Li's reputation?

That seemed unlikely, right?

This was Cartland, the Illusion Demon!

Not just them, but even Chu Qiang, Shi Jiang, Zhao Ruo, and Liu Zheng were somewhat incredulous.

They weren't worried about Cartland harming them. With so many students present, Cartland wouldn't dare to kill anyone. But a fight, or having their Wood Spirit stolen, was very normal.

But now, everything was completely beyond their expectations.

"Phew!"

After sprinting several kilometers, Cartland breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was chasing him: Luckily, he's not as bloodthirsty as the rumors say!

"Cartland, why didn't we rob them?"

Blood Shadow Ivan frowned, asking, "Could it be that you just..."

"That's right!"

Cartland's expression was a bit unsightly, but he had to admit, "My Illusion Demon Eye is a pure mental attack. Not only was that Jiang Li completely unfazed by it, but it also injured me."

"His mental power is even stronger than mine!"

Giant Bear Kaita asked, "Should the three of us team up?"

"For the Wood Spirit, it's worth the gamble!"

Blood Shadow Ivan's eyes were filled with greed.
