“Get out of the way! Let me have a try!
“Hey, if I get gold for enduring his attacks, will there be any special bonuses if I defeat him?”
The greedy-looking swordsman squeezed through the crowd and winked at Ji Ye with his hilarious eyes.
“Huh?”
Ji Ye, on the other hand, was quite surprised to see the man.
“If you can defeat my guard, you will receive a hundred thousand taels of gold.”
Ji Ye smiled.
“In addition, this piece of accessory will be yours too!”
He took out a dragon-shaped belt from the back of the tray and showed it to everyone.
[Jade Dragon Belt]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-9]
[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]
[Description: A fusion of the Jade Dragon Belt and the Ice Dragon Jade Pendant. It can contain the water in an entire lake.]
The belt, originally dropped by a general under Fang La’s command, was Perfect in the first place.
After Ji Ye fused it with his jade pendant, it became a semi-spatial item that could contain a tremendous amount of water. It also boasted other abilities in defense and confinement!
More importantly, it was purely made of the best jade, and it had vivid dragon patterns on it. It looked quite precious.
“It’s made of great materials and contains the power of water. Good stuff!”
“There’s also a hundred thousand taels of gold. You promised it. Guys, you all heard him!”
The greedy-looking swordsman rubbed his hands excitedly with widened eyes and asked the other people to witness Ji Ye’s promise.
Huh, there seemed to be a problem.
According to what Ji Ye said earlier, he actually only had to endure five attacks from Dian Wei in order to win a hundred thousand taels of gold!
He could even fight on. For every move he endured, he could get ten times more gold. Dragon City couldn’t possibly afford such a battle, however wealthy it was!
Then, why did the greedy-looking swordsman feel that it was a bargain for him when Ji Ye only promised a hundred thousand taels of gold?
Because while he could continue making money by resisting attacks, the Dragon City Chamber of Commerce would have all the initiative, and Dian Wei, as the attacker, could decide how many attacks he would launch!
If Dian Wei found him too strong and admitted defeat after only one or two moves, how could this swordsman make a fortune?
Ji Ye’s promise of a hundred thousand taels of gold, in comparison, was a fixed number, not to mention the precious-looking belt.
“Huh, weird.
“This man honestly believes that he is capable of resisting Dian Wei.”
The Mind Reading player stared at the greedy-looking swordsman with a glow in his eyes.
Then, he exclaimed in surprise.
That man was not cocky. Instead, he was very confident. He really thought he could defeat Dian Wei!
Ji Ye, however, stared at the man who walked to Dian Wei with a giant sword and remarked with a smile, “Wuxin1, have you ever watched the second and third movies of the A Chinese Ghost Story franchise?”
The Mind Reading player, who used Wuxin as his name on the Land of Inheritance instead of his real name, shook his head. “No, I’ve only watched the first one.”
“Are you saying that he is a character from the second and third movies of the A Chinese Ghost Story franchise?
“If you remember him so clearly, he must be a distinguished hero!”
Wuxin was greatly enlightened.
Ji Ye nodded and said, “Exactly. He is a hero. He’s probably an Excellent if not a Superior one!”
“I can tell that your body is extremely hard. It’s almost invulnerable.
“However, my giant sword works particularly effective on those who have an invulnerable body.
“Careful!” the greedy-looking swordsman shouted.
Then, he leaped with the giant sword and slashed at Dian Wei!
At the same time, he roared, “Wind, fire, and lightning, empower my sword!”
Hum!
The giant sword that he was holding with both hands glittered with runes on it. It was covered in a golden light that looked sharp.
Whoosh!
However, Dian Wei didn’t bother to dodge the attack at all. He simply threw out one of the halberds, which was as long as the giant sword, and hit it brutally.
Boom!
When the giant sword and the Thunder Halberd collided, the purple power of lightning and the golden light emanated at the same time!
“Ah!”
“So dazzling!”
Everybody who observed the battle was almost blinded.
“Da... Da... Da... Da...”
The Thunder Halberd had a great explosive power, and it was wielded by Dian Wei who had magnificent physical strength.
Even though the swordsman carried the Extraordinary Rank-9 vibe, and he had attacked with both his hands holding the sword, he was still flung back by Dian Wei’s halberd.
He took almost ten steps back and left black footprints on the ground as the power of lightning spread into the soil.
“Wow, I misjudged you.
“You weren’t using your full strength at all, were you?
“Your physical strength is almost monstrous. You’re even capable of thunder techniques!”
All his hair was rising because of the electric shock, and his mouth spouted smoke as he talked.
His body was also imbalanced. He waved his sore arms and looked at Dian Wei who remained absolutely still as if he were a monster.
“One move!” Dian Wei responded with only two words.
“You’re too strong for me to defeat with the giant sword alone.
“However, since you already employed a thunder technique, I might as well try my best too!”
He rolled his eyes and stabbed the giant sword into the ground.
Then, he took off a bag that was bound to his belt and found a yellow scroll that was full of talismans and spells.
The swordsman found the spell he needed and shouted loudly, “Wind and fire shall listen to my order! Spells, activate!”
Hum!
The scroll in his hand trembled hard.
Immediately, the box on his back that was covered in cloth was exposed to the air, revealing a sword container that Ji Ye was quite familiar with!
The spell that the greedy-looking swordsman shouted out was quite familiar too.
“Borrow Power From the Universe!”
“Huh? That’s...”
Wuxin, the Mind Reading player, was stumped too.
Hum!
With the keen senses given by True Seer, Ji Ye could tell that, after the swordsman cast the spell, an invisible power was quickly gathering to him from the air and the ground, which made him a lot stronger than Extraordinary Rank-9!
He wasn’t exactly Extraordinary yet, but he was definitely above the usual Extraordinary Rank-9.
“Sword!” the swordsman roared aloud.
Clang!
The sword container was suddenly opened.
Then, after a shriek, a bronze flying sword that was enshrouded in a bright golden light dashed out quickly towards Dian Wei!
“A flying sword... Are you a sword cultivator?”
Faced with the attack, Dian Wei remained expressionless.
However, a short spear appeared in his right hand and was thrown right towards the bronze flying sword that was coming at him!
Boom!
Then, the short spear crushed the flying sword, and the Thunder Halberd continued flying at the swordsman.
It was because the bronze flying sword was essentially an “aura” just like the short spear. It had simply been gathered into a matter by some sort of Transcendent power!
Looking at the short spear that was flying at him after his sword was crushed, the greedy-looking swordsman wasn’t panicked at all.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Dozens of bronze flying swords dashed out of his sword container in a row. They collapsed the short spear, which had also been gathered by Transcendent power, like accurate missiles, before they stabbed at Dian Wei who was covered in the bright golden light!
