Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 81 Divide and Conquer

Hearing this, Oda Junichiro felt somewhat puzzled for no apparent reason.

"You are from Longxia, what ghostly use is there in swearing an oath on the way of the samurai?"

The way of the samurai is of no use to you.

But then he thought, Xiao Zhan chose to swear an oath on the way of the samurai instead of his own beliefs.

Does this mean that he was too eager to gain my trust, that he couldn’t help but say so?

That he unconsciously carried a hint of flattery, hoping to cooperate with me?

It’s very possible.

Just like how a foreigner, wanting to get the recognition from people in Fujian, would do well to swear on Mazu.

Firstly, Mazu can quickly increase a sense of identity.

Secondly, he knows Mazu represents faith, a taboo, and if he dares to violate Mazu, the consequences would be worse than death.

Now Xiao Zhan swearing on the way of the samurai is based on the same principle.

Added to that, Xiao Zhan’s strength is the weakest; it would be difficult for him to survive in a melee, and he could only seek me out for an alliance.

With this thought, he grew to acknowledge Xiao Zhan’s sincerity even more, saying, "Mr. Xiao Zhan, I am sincerely touched and admire your spirit! I believe in your sincerity, but I still can’t treat my life as a joke. Anyway, we are not far away now, so it doesn’t make a difference to wait a little longer, right?"

"Alright, then we’ll do as you suggest," Xiao Zhan agreed.

He had just said so on purpose anyway.

To prevent being too quick to agree and give away any clues.

Seeing Xiao Zhan’s agreement, Oda Junichiro finally relaxed a bit.

The danger was still there, but at least not as great.

Thus, the group sped up and soon arrived in front of the pillar of golden light.

It was coming from the ground, but what it was couldn’t be confirmed yet.

However, within Xiao Zhan’s perception range, he had already detected that the Secret Realm Origin was a golden stone emitting a strong energy, not much bigger than a marble.

Neither was it spherical, but of a common irregular shape.

Yet the strong energy it exuded was as conspicuous as a sun within Xiao Zhan’s perception range.

"This newly emerged Secret Realm Origin really has terrifying energy!"

Xiao Zhan exclaimed, determined to seize this object!

Meanwhile, as everyone neared the goal of the Secret Realm Origin, the distance between them shrank continuously.

They were about to clump up together.

Oda Junichiro no longer dared to stay in the middle; being attacked from the left, right, front, and back was very unfavorable to him, and with any carelessness, he would be the first to die.

Thus, he gradually slowed down his pace, moving closer to Xiao Zhan.

Only by forming an alliance could there be victory.

"Mr. Xiao Zhan..."

Oda Junichiro turned his head towards Xiao Zhan with a hint of trust.

But before he could finish his sentence, his expression suddenly froze, his eyes widened in disbelief!

Because a scythe exuding the chill of death was slashing straight down from his forehead!

"Hehe, go die."

Xiao Zhan coldly laughed, his exposed white teeth grim, like a devil.

Pff!

Without any time to react, without any resistance.

Oda Junichiro was killed by a single slash of Xiao Zhan’s scythe!

The body fell to the ground, Oda Junichiro’s eyes filled with unrelenting death, unable to understand why Xiao Zhan would strike him till his last breath.

Does he not know that only through cooperation can there be mutual benefit?

Oda Junichiro is dead, and his Artifact Spirit was a katana. Without its Spirit Master, the Second Grade Artifact Spirit can only exhibit the power of a First Grade.

And that is simply not enough.

Besides, being forcibly severed from the contract connection, she was inevitably wounded.

So, with a swing of the Xiao Zhan Demon Scythe, a streak of blood was drawn, sending her off to converge in death.

The sudden killing startled Mikel and the others. At such a critical moment, even their temporary ally was slaughtered!

Should they call him foolish or arrogant?

They kept a little distance from him.

It’s not that they were afraid of him, but without knowing what the Secret Realm Origin was, it was unnecessary to clash with him.

Everything could wait until they determined what the Secret Realm Origin was.

However, just because they didn’t move against Xiao Zhan didn’t mean Xiao Zhan wouldn’t act against them!

His Perception had already completely locked onto the shape of the Secret Realm Origin. Now, even if the golden pillar of the Secret Realm Origin vanished, he could still locate it.

So, he wasn’t worried about that right now.

Right now, he only needed to keep killing, endlessly!

He glanced over and immediately targeted Mikel.

They were a trio from different Federations; it was time to weaken their combined strength.

Seeing Xiao Zhan coming towards them to kill, Mikel’s patience wore thin.

How could he act at such a crucial moment? Did this guy not care about the Secret Realm Origin?

He didn’t care, but Mikel did!

"Desi, Wusi, you two go kill him first."

He immediately ordered his counterparts from the Forest Federation and the Sunset Federation to kill Xiao Zhan.

If Xiao Zhan sought death, then he wouldn’t be polite.

Two Second Grade against one First Grade, he was quite reassured.

As for the battle on his end, a three-way fight, there was no need to worry. He could simply wait until Desi and Wusi killed Xiao Zhan, then hurry over.

"Yes."

Desi and Wusi instantly responded, having been dispatched as Death Soldiers by their Federations, and had been ordered to follow Mikel’s command upon entering the Secret Realm!

Without any hesitation, they immediately charged towards Xiao Zhan.

Their movements were swift, unleashing lethal moves.

Xiao Zhan had anticipated their attack and faced the two-on-one challenge without fear. His Death Demon Scythe immediately surged with deathly power, exerting a level of suppression unique to an SSS Talent Level!

The Artifact Spirits of the two Death Soldiers, under this suppression, suddenly became weak and listless.

And correspondingly, both Death Soldiers were also affected!

Seizing this opportunity, Xiao Zhan made the first move, swinging his Demon Scythe and with the sound of cutting through air, he aimed for the head of one of them.

That Death Soldier was shocked and hastily raised his Artifact Spirit to block!

But as both were Second Grade Spirit Masters, the difference in Talent Level was too great. His opponent was a mere D Level, and the Artifact Spirit, a short knife, was in no way a match for an SSS Level confrontation!

The collision between the Demon Scythe and the short knife was fundamentally uneven.

The strike was too much to bear, and he was sent flying away.

But a Death Soldier is a Death Soldier, enduring the severe pain he immediately stood up. Meanwhile, the other Death Soldier launched an attack on Xiao Zhan.

His Artifact Spirit was also a short knife, taking advantage of the moment Xiao Zhan finished his attack and couldn’t gather strength, he craftily stabbed at him.

Unfortunately, he severely underestimated Xiao Zhan’s strength.

Though old strength had gone and new strength had yet to emerge, Xiao Zhan’s Perception talent was not for show.

With just a slight twist of his body, the crafty short knife passed by, brushing against Xiao Zhan’s clothes.
