Chapter 221 – Kill to collect treasure

All the people looked on. They were ready to attack.

They all wanted to seize the treasure which was about to appear.

After all, who would want to lose something that contained such terrific power?

Even the people belonging to the same school were ready to fight each other off for the treasure.

The power and possible value of the treasure was enough to make anyone lose his rationality. People were ready to rebel against their own schools and sects.

It was good that Bi Fan and his team didn’t drool over such treasures. They would fight together, seize the treasure, and would then hand it over to the person whom it suited the most. For example, in the case of ‘the stick of nine thundering dragons’, the whole group had decided to let Blue Dragon have it.

Jing Feng asked: “Brother Bi Fan, do we attack as soon as the treasure appears?”

“We shouldn’t act recklessly. Even if we managed to get hold of the treasure before anyone else, these people would form and alliance against us. It would be difficult to fight so many powerful people at once.” Bi Fan replied after thinking for a while.

“Yes, that’s right. Even if this is the only treasure left, we have to focus on saving our lives first. If there are more treasures, we can surely try for the next one if we get out of here alive.” Wang Zhong said.

Bi Fan and his companions hid themselves once more. Bi Fan had commanded his Chimera to stay hidden too in order to help them escape, if need be.

If each one of them went to fight when the treasure appeared, they all would be stuck in the middle with no one to help them. Therefore, it was important to keep the Chimera out of the action.

Moreover, the Chimera wouldn’t be able to help them in seizing the treasure anyway, and so it was better for it to stay hidden in the woods since it could help them with escaping the place in a time of need.

As for Zi Wei and Hong Yan, Bi Fan hadn’t included them in his plan thinking that they both might have their own plans.

Perhaps both these girls would join their respective schools after this fight. Finally, Bi Fan had some hope of getting rid of Zi Wei.

The flashes of the red light were growing fiercer. Most of the people had shut their eyes because of the extremely bright light.

“Bang…!” The intensity of the tremors also increased, so much that most of the people were finding it difficult to maintain their balance.

Most of the people were perspiring, and felt rather parched out of sheer nervousness, and were hence left breathing heavily.

The intensity of tremors and the flashes continued to increase with each passing moment.

“Bang…!” Suddenly blast occurred as a crevice was split open in the ground, and a transportation token flew in the air. The blast was accompanied by an intense red light.

The light-flash was so intense that almost all the people present involuntarily closed their eyes for a moment.

Since Bi Fan’s senses had been sharpened by the Yin Yang Lotus, the light didn’t affect his eyes.

Although Bi Fan was the first to see it, the token flew in the air at such a great speed that Bi Fan lost its track and had no idea where it went.

A sword, a knife and a spear propelled out from the crevice in a similar fashion and flew off to distant places just like the transportation token had.

These three weapons were followed by several other weapons, but these weapons were inferior to the previous weapons in terms of quality and their speed, too, was much slower.

“Brother Jing Feng, instead of entering the fight, we all must chase those precious weapons.” Bi Fan said. Chasing the transportation token was not possible for them at the moment, but they simply couldn’t let the other three weapons slip away.

Bi Fan went after the sword but soon he discovered that two other people, one from Hong School and the other from Bai Sheng palace, were also pursuing it.

Although both of them hadn’t opened their eyes yet, but they were running behind the sword and the knife by just following their senses.

Bi Fan thought for a moment; he had to go after the third best weapon – the spear.

Bi Fan used his ‘dance of mist’ footwork and was soon able to catch up with the spear.

This spear also contained some traces of Spirit inside it, and so Bi Fan had to be careful before grabbing it.

“The Immortal Finger…!” Bi Fan shot several pebbles at once towards the spear and kept attacking it. Under the influence of its spirit, the spear continued to dodge all of Bi Fan’s attacks.

Bi Fan wasn’t discouraged by it and continued to attack the spear in order to exhaust the energy of the Spirit inside it.

Since the spear had been buried for a really long time, it had a limited energy which soon began to dry up.

After the spear’s energy got completely dried out, Bi Fan happily grabbed it and stored it inside his Yin Yang pouch.

However, there was some dissatisfaction in Bi Fan’s heart. Firstly, the weapon was an incomplete Spirit Weapon, and secondly the Spirit of the spear was dormant, and so naturally its power wouldn’t be as much as it would’ve been if its spirit was active. However, if the spirit had been active, it would’ve been almost impossible for Bi Fan to seize it.

After placing the spear in the Yin Yang pouch safely, Bi Fan headed back.

Needless to say, the ‘Gold Dan’ layer men who had been pursuing the sword and the knife might have sensed Bi Fan’s activities as well, and once they had been successful in their pursuit, they could possibly attack Bi Fan at a later time in order to rob him of the spear.
