I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 162: Escape

[Source Material +0.1]

The message that popped up in his vision made Zhang Yuan open his eyes wide in disbelief.

He seriously doubted whether his optic nerves were malfunctioning.

What kind of joke is 0.1?

One must understand that the remains, which Zhang Yuan had just absolved and turned into ashes, had already melted into the water.

And it was a Tier Four Martial Artist!

Although this formidable opponent was drained of blood by the Red Blood Saber before.

But it shouldn’t have only left this little Source Material, right?

Zhang Yuan had previously absolved a Tier Three Transformation Realm expert, and made a reasonable estimation based on the Source Material obtained.

The Source Material obtained from absolving a complete Tier Four Martial Artist should surely be in the triple digits!

The result of 0.1 was simply too miserable.

And the only explanation was that the Red Blood Saber was far too greedy.

It devoured all the spoils directly.

The tiny remnant left was more like a cruel mockery of Zhang Yuan!

Forget it.

Zhang Yuan could only shake his head helplessly at this.

What else could he do?

Should he curse at this Divine Soldiers that resembled Demon Soldiers, and order it to spit out what it had eaten?

Don’t be ridiculous!

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and retracted the Red Blood Saber back into his body.

He felt the Divine Soldiers immediately fall into slumber, like a well-fed fierce beast resting to digest.

The trace of resentment in Zhang Yuan’s heart also dissipated.

In fact, if it weren’t for the Red Blood Divine Soldiers.

Unless the Tier Four expert was determined to fight Zhang Yuan to the death underwater, there was no way he could have killed him.

Relying on the basic Water Profound Communication ability of the Tier Four White Dragon Loach, defeating the opponent wasn’t difficult.

But if the opponent wanted to escape, Zhang Yuan couldn’t stop him!

The defense of the Tier Four Martial Artist was immensely strong.

The most formidable feature of the Red Blood Divine Soldiers was its astonishing penetration, almost ignoring defense.

Coupled with its blood-draining attribute, it effortlessly ended a Tier Four expert.

While contemplating, Zhang Yuan reached out his hand.

A few feet away, an undercurrent suddenly surged, lifting a pouch and a dagger and "sending" them into his hand.

This was the water control ability that Zhang Yuan had recently developed.

It was also granted by the enhancement of his basic Water Profound Communication.

Although this ability was still weak at the moment, it didn’t aid much in battle.

It had endless possibilities.

The pouch and dagger that were just brought into his hand had fallen from the clothing of that Tier Four expert.

They were the opponent’s personal belongings.

Zhang Yuan put the pouch away first, then played with the dagger sheathed in the Python Sheath.

As he tried to draw out the dagger, a flash of cold light passed before his eyes.

This dagger, including the blade and handle, was only about eight inches long, the blade’s surface subtly revealed intricate cloud patterns, and its edge was incredibly sharp, indicating superb forging quality.

Zhang Yuan immediately recognized it as a premium Mortal Soldiers of the Thousand Forged level!

And on the handle, the characters "Broken Blade" were engraved.

The Broken Blade Dagger!

He had once seen a similar short sword in the Armory at Linhai Sub-Branch, whose patterns matched this dagger exactly.

What a treasure!

Zhang Yuan contentedly inserted it back into the sheath.

At this moment, he looked up and saw that the warship had already docked.

The water surface was still dotted with the floating corpses of Samurai, drifting up and down with the waves.

Zhang Yuan’s eyes flickered, and malicious intent arose in his heart!

He quickly swam over, grabbed a corpse, and dragged it into the deep water.

To absolve it!

If these corpses weren’t salvaged, once they sank to the riverbed, they were highly likely to turn into Water Ghosts.

Zhang Yuan absolving them was also somewhat of an act of kindness!

[Source Material +7.3], [Source Material +13.6], [Source Material +10.2]...

One corpse after another was dragged underwater by him for absolution, and eye-catching prompts constantly popped up in his vision.

After clearing out all over a dozen Samurai, Zhang Yuan turned his attention towards the docked warship.

The malice in his heart hadn’t been completely vented yet!

Without any hesitation, Zhang Yuan drew the newly acquired Broken Blade Dagger, swiftly approached the big ship underwater.

When he used the dagger in his hand to scrape the ship’s bottom, he found it was as easy as slicing tofu!

Zhang Yuan immediately cut out a large hole.

In fact, the Red Blood Divine Soldiers were certainly many times stronger than this dagger, but unless absolutely necessary, Zhang Yuan would never expose its existence, or he would never have peace.

So earlier, Zhang Yuan preferred to labor to break the deck rather than use the Red Blood Divine Soldiers.

To avoid leaving traces that others could discover.

Even if such a possibility was very small, he couldn’t take the risk.

Now the newly acquired Broken Blade Dagger came in handy.

With the ship bottom breached, a large volume of river water immediately gushed in.

But that was apparently not enough, so Zhang Yuan went on to cut a second, third, and fourth hole...

The amount of river water pouring into the lower deck increased, causing the large warship to gradually lose balance and slowly tip towards the right side.

The people still on board screamed and shouted, jumping onto the shore one after another.

Then they watched helplessly as this warship completely capsized into the water.

And sank down.

No one went to rescue it, and no one went underwater.

Even Master Sun from the Cyan Cloud Temple watched helplessly as the warship sank.

His face was ashen, yet he didn’t say a word!

Master Shen was a Tier Four expert, and his cultivation was close to the Peak Level, having been through countless battles and knowledgeable.

And then he received the boost from his Spirit Talisman Spell, but after entering the water, he disappeared without a trace.

To this day, not even a bubble surfaced!

Intuition told this Mage that Master Shen had likely met a mishap.

Master Sun simply couldn’t imagine how a wet-behind-the-ears Tier Three Martial Artist managed to accomplish this!

Zhang Yuan!

He etched this name firmly into his memory.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yuan had already dived into the warship.

In the cabin where he originally stayed, he retrieved his luggage and Iron-Clad Bow.

As he had been prepared beforehand, Zhang Yuan had wrapped all his personal belongings and weapons in waterproof oil cloth.

These items were naturally undamaged.

Then he took his luggage and weapons and swam underwater for dozens of miles without stopping.

Finally, he chose a safe spot to go ashore.

Back on land, Zhang Yuan first activated the Divine Nest Power and summoned the Red-eyed Crow to fly out and maintain vigilance.

Next, he opened the package, took out a set of clothes, and changed into it.

And he made a simple disguise for himself.

With everything ready, Zhang Yuan walked toward a nearby official road.

This location was identified through the Red-eyed Crow.

Before long, Zhang Yuan appeared on this official road.

At this moment, whether in dress or demeanor, he didn’t appear much different from the rangers wandering the Jianghu.

Zhang Yuan proceeded westward along the official road, while the Red-eyed Crow circled high overhead monitoring the surroundings.

Should any danger arise, Zhang Yuan would be able to evade immediately.

Currently, he greatly needed a place to settle down.

To rest and recover on one hand, and to figure out his location on the other.

To facilitate his next move.

And on this official road where he traveled, there were numerous passersby and merchants.

After asking a passerby, Zhang Yuan quickened his pace toward a county town twenty miles ahead.
