One-Click Upgrade: Super Decomposition System

Chapter 400 - Jiang Hao Who Returned the Real and Fake Third Elder

Xu Tianming was just about to scream when suddenly, the silhouette at the doorway was upon him, swiftly knocking him out with a chop of the hand.

Jiang Hao looked down at the unconscious Xu Tianming, his expression icy as he whispered,

“You won't be dying that easily on my watch.”

He then produced a vial, uncorked the jade stopper, and sprinkled a dusting of white powder over Xu Tianming's form.

Task completed, Jiang Hao approached the corpse of the Third Elder and touched it.

“Ding! Human martial cultivator corpse detected. Proceed with decomposition?”

“Yes!”

“Ding… Congratulations, host. You have successfully decomposed a human martial cultivator corpse. You've obtained an incomplete Mortal Pill, 3 skill points, and 1.8 experience points.”

“Decomposition complete. Ready to extract?”

“Extract!”

“Even after deconstructing a level 4 martial cultivator, it yields only an incomplete Mortal Pill!”

But now wasn't the time to dwell on that. Jiang Hao pushed aside his thoughts and turned his attention to Xu Wei Zhong, lying on the ground.

After examining Xu Wei Zhong, he discovered the man's brain had been scrambled by the Third Elder, and then further damaged when Xu Tianming had thrown him to the ground, causing a blow to the back of his head.

He was beyond help.

The entire conversation between the three men had not escaped Jiang Hao's ears, revealing that Xu Wei Zhong had been utterly betrayed by his own son.

Seeing him end up like this left Jiang Hao at a loss for words.

Truth be told, he had previously agreed to provide Chen Qi with the Baiqi Killing Sword and the secrets of martial cultivator cultivation.

But the reality was different. The Baiqi Killing Sword resided in his System Space, and the cultivation methods were ingrained in his mind—there was no need for him to physically retrieve them.

Before departing, he had utilized the Insect Control Technique, covertly manipulating several insects to keep tabs on Chen Qi and his group.

Every move they made was closely observed by Jiang Hao, not a single detail missed.

He hadn't gone far before he stealthily doubled back, trailing the Third Elder to this location.

He had also spotted his father and Uncle Hai, yet Jiang Hao managed to restrain the immediate urge to rescue them.

He knew he had to take out the Third Elder first; otherwise, he'd risk tipping off the enemy.

That's what led to this moment.

With the Third Elder now out of the picture, it was time to rescue his father and the others, and in the process, ensnare Chen Qi and his group all at once!

This time, he was intent on making an example—to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Anyone who dared to threaten him wouldn't live to tell the tale.

Jiang Hao's gaze was icy, exuding an almost divine authority.

As he strode away, his body underwent a rapid transformation visible to the naked eye.

In an instant, Jiang Hao vanished, and the Third Elder was seemingly resurrected!

Innate Ability: Shape-shifter!

Transformed into the Third Elder, Jiang Hao made a beeline for the room where his father and Uncle Hai were being held.

Without a moment's pause, the “Third Elder” pushed the door open and entered.

Inside, dozens of wary eyes turned towards him. Recognizing the “Third Elder,” they quickly adopted an air of deference.

“Third Elder!”

The “Third Elder” nodded in acknowledgment, then approached them and nonchalantly produced a vial, dispensing small pills one by one.

“Your vigilance in guarding has been commendable. This is the secret elixir of the Nether King's Hall, capable of offering you the chance to become martial cultivators!”

“One pill each, take them!”

The proclamation left everyone in a state of shock.

“Martial cultivator?”

They were well aware of what a martial cultivator was. The patriarch of the Hsu Family had become one, and to ensure the family's continued prominence, they had certainly experimented with artificially cultivating martial cultivators!

Alas, all attempts had ended in failure.

But the formidable strength of a martial cultivator was indelibly etched in their minds.
