Chapter 12: Wield the Murderous Sword, Slay All Invading Foes!
“Scoundrel, with death at your doorstep, you still dare to insult us?”
“Just wait, I’ll make sure you beg for life and death in vain!”
“...”
Amid the assassins’ furious shouts, Shen Lang paid no heed.
Instead, deep inside, he spoke to the system: “Is there any weapon for sale?”
“There is. Host, would you like to open the armory?”
Shen Lang nodded: “Open it!”
In the next moment,
A translucent screen appeared before Shen Lang.
Countless weapon details densely filled the display.
[Immortal Slayer Sword, price: 99,999,999 Resentment Points; can slay immortals with a single stroke.]
[Xuan Yuan Sword, price: 99,999,999 Resentment Points; can harness the power of humanity.]
[Asura Sword, price: 99,999,999 Resentment Points; can command the power of the nine netherworlds.]
[...]
Gazing upon the magnificent attributes of these weapons, Shen Lang’s heart surged with excitement.
Yet, seeing their prices, a twitch betrayed his lips.
His current Resentment Points were barely ten thousand.
Far from enough to afford these overwhelmingly powerful weapons.
He could only ask the system for help: “Based on my current Resentment Points, narrow down the available weapons for me!”
“Understood, host. The selection has been filtered!”
Upon hearing this, Shen Lang looked at the screen again.
[Little Boy: Pacifist; one hit will kill anyone below the fifth level of Golden Core, price: 10,000 Resentment Points]
[F35 Fighter Jet: price 8,000 Resentment Points]
[Mysterious Sword: a forbidden weapon deleted from the League of Heroes, price: 6,000 Resentment Points]
[...]
Seeing this information,
Shen Lang’s scalp tingled.
This damn system truly dared to sell anything.
However, the most suitable weapon for him seemed to be that Mysterious Sword.
With this thought,
Shen Lang immediately asked the system, “If I buy the Mysterious Sword, will it also increase my attack power?”
“Yes, host. The Mysterious Sword grants a temporary 10% combat power boost for each enemy killed.”
“But the cap is fifty kills!”
Damn!
There’s a limit?
Shen Lang was a bit displeased.
But upon reflection, if this killing sword had no limit, how could it cost only 6,000 Resentment Points?
At that moment,
Seeing the assassins closing in,
Shen Lang was too lazy to haggle with the system: “Exchange for a Mysterious Sword!”
[Ding! Deducted 6,000 Resentment Points from host!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host obtained the Mysterious Sword!]
Looking at the pale cyan glowing weapon that appeared in the system inventory,
Shen Lang materialized it out of thin air.
This scene
made the assassins encircling him widen their eyes in surprise.

Soon, the leader, a formidable Foundation Establishment stage expert named Wang Yong, laughed excitedly:
“I heard that today that shameless girl from Divine Firmament gave him quite a reward.”
“Brothers, kill him, and it’s all ours!”
“Kill!”
Watching the assassins rush at him like mad dogs,
A cruel smile crept onto Shen Lang’s face.
“First move of the Azure Lotus Sword Technique: Starbreaker!”
Boom!
With a terrifying sword aura suddenly unleashed from the Mysterious Sword,
The Foundation Establishment assassin at the front was split in two instantly.
At this sight, the entire alley fell into dead silence.
All the assassins stared dumbfounded at Shen Lang.
Shen Lang himself was also shaken.
Because the system had just chimed again.
[Ding! Host slain Wang Wu, gained 300 Resentment Points.]
“Everyone, be careful! This little bastard has concealed his cultivation! Attack together!”
Wang Yong’s roar awakened many stunned assassins.
However, Shen Lang was the first to fully realize.
Having discovered that killing granted Resentment Points,
His eyes turned red: “Damn you bastards! Not a single one of you leaves today!”
Shouting this,
Shen Lang charged into the crowd like a madman.
In a single breath’s span, he slaughtered three men.
Seeing this, Wang Yong’s expression grew grim.
He immediately shouted to another Foundation Establishment expert, Cao Yunjin:
“Shen Lang’s power is strange. Let’s attack together—be careful!”
“Just a Qi Refinement stage trash. No need for team-ups, I can handle him alone!”
With those words,
Cao Yunjin raised his sword and thrust toward Shen Lang’s chest.
But to his shock,
Shen Lang did not dodge.
Instead, he continued to pursue others mercilessly.
This left Cao Yunjin stunned but also flashing cruelty in his eyes.
The next moment,
With a clang,
Cao Yunjin was dumbfounded.
His longsword was a spiritual weapon.
How could it fail to break through Shen Lang’s defense?
While puzzled,
A pale cyan sword aura suddenly slashed toward him.
“No!”
Cao Yunjin instinctively tried to evade.
But Shen Lang had killed over ten Foundation Establishment assassins by now.
His strength, boosted by the sword, had doubled.
Though his mind reacted in time,
His body was still cut by the sword aura,
Turning into a pool of blood mist.
---
“What a terrifying physical body!”
Seeing Cao Yunjin die in a single round,
Wang Yong felt a chill down his spine.
He realized Shen Lang’s might did not rely solely on that strange weapon.
His own body was formidable as well.
If he didn’t take this seriously, he might be the next to die today!
With this thought,
Wang Yong didn’t dare to be complacent.
He immediately pulled out a pitch-black pill and swallowed it.
“You little bastard, today you must die!”
Watching Wang Yong’s aura surge again,
Shen Lang shook his head slightly: “Don’t bother struggling, experience pack! It’s pointless!”
Saying so,
Shen Lang assumed a fighting stance and beckoned toward Wang Yong.
Seeing this, Wang Yong immediately lunged at Shen Lang with his sword: “Die!”
But as his sword neared Shen Lang,
A cold gleam flashed before his eyes first.
The next moment, Wang Yong froze in place.
Shen Lang appeared behind him, speaking calmly:
“Wasting time!”
“Retreat!”
Seeing Wang Yong fall,
The remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators no longer dared to fight.
They scattered in panic.
Shen Lang had spent thousands of Resentment Points on this battle.
He wasn’t about to let these experience packs slip away.
He immediately gave chase: “All of you die, damn it!”
Watching Shen Lang slaughter the assassins like a god of death,
Not far away, atop a tavern, Xing Wenlong gritted his teeth in fury.
“Who the hell said Shen Lang was useless?”
“This kid is clearly even more monstrous than his elder brother, Shen Chen!”
His words made many officials inside the tavern nod instinctively.
Back then, Shen Chen was hailed as the greatest genius in the Qin Dynasty.
They thought he was already unbelievably formidable.
But seeing Shen Lang’s performance today,
They instantly felt Shen Chen was nothing in comparison.
Shen Lang was a monster who didn’t even deserve to tie Shen Chen’s shoes.
Hence, many were already growing anxious.
After all, they had all witnessed Shen Lang’s methods.
If Shen Lang found out they were behind the assassination attempt,
They dared not imagine what cruel schemes he might concoct to trap them.
Just as everyone’s worry deepened,
He Xiufei waved the feather fan in her hand and said:
“Why panic? Haven’t you seen the Golden Core stage expert coming over?”
“That brat can’t possibly be a match for a Golden Core expert.”
