Chapter 33: Invisible Dual Blades (1) (2/2)

It seemed as if Nan Huairen had used too much force; however, he was just saving their lives. At worst, he was just causing them physical pain without long-term complications.

If Li Qiye personally handled it, then there might be decapitated bodies on the floor, instead. Nan Huairen knew that Li Qiye, in fact, didn’t care for the disciples, or anyone, who disrespected him. Incidentally, Nan Huairen hoped that his brutal beating of them was enough to appease Li Qiye.

As for the disciples protecting the Weapon Armory, their job was to protect it; other quarrels had nothing to do with them, so they closed their eyes and ignored it.

“I want the dual blades over there.” As Nan Huairen was throwing the disciples out of the Weapon Armory, Li Qiye was talking with the protector in charge.

The protector’s brow furrowed, and he asked: “The dual blades under the Crow G.o.d’s feet?”

“That is correct.” Li Qiye replied.

“Recently, I have been practicing the Invisible Dual Blade technique, and on a second look, the dual blades are perfect for me; so, I want them.” The protector and guarding disciples all thought that Li Qiye’s request was very strange; they looked at him as if he was a mental patient.

The two blades over there were basically two normal blades that have been rusting. Don’t even compare it to the Life and True weapons on the third level; they weren’t even comparable to the common weapons in level one.

They believed that not picking a treasure from the third level was already strange, but he then picked the two rusted blades, not worth a cent, made from mortal steel. If this guy didn’t have mental problems, then he would be an idiot for not knowing good from bad.

When Nan Huairen saw Li Qiye’s choice, the first thing that came up in his mind was the Serpent Punis.h.i.+ng Stick. His heart was excited because he remembered when Li Qiye wanted the old stick from the fire place in the Grand Chamber; all the Elders, and himself, included, thought Li Qiye was ignorant for valuing a regular stick so highly.

However, that stick had beaten a genius, like Xu Hui, as if he was defenseless. Now, Li Qiye suddenly wanted those two blades? It might not be just a coincidence. He probably had his eyes on them since they had stepped inside the Weapon Armory.

A student who was thrown out by Nan Huairen was both angry and afraid; he yelled: “Nan Huairen! You… you dare hit me? I will report this to the Elders about…”

“Slap him. Slap him until he cannot speak anymore.” Li Qiye mercilessly said.

From those simple words, Nan Huairen could feel a strand of anger building inside Li Qiye. It seemed like this senior was becoming agitated. “My apologies.”

Nan Huairen slapped the disciple three times, without hesitation. ”Slap, slap, slap.” Nan Huairen knew that this wasn’t just him saving the disciple’s life; this was also a trial that Li Qiye was using to test him.

Li Qiye left this matter alone, and he turned back to the protector: “The Elders have agreed on me picking a weapon, so I would like to choose these blades.”

The protector rolled his eyes at Li Qiye. This kid didn’t look like an idiot, so why was he so insistent on doing something so foolish?

The protector hesitated for a moment, but he then, finally, nodded his head: “This is possible!”

These were only two mortal blades; they were not a renowned treasure. Li Qiye came with the order from the Elders, and them giving him two regular blades wasn’t a big deal.

Li Qiye personally took down the two blades, so that the protector could write it down on the checkout list. Although Li Qiye’s request was strange, the protector didn’t really know what to say.

Finis.h.i.+ng his task, Li Qiye left the Weapon Armory with his blades. Coming across the disciples who were beaten senselessly by Nan Huairen, he slowed his steps and angrily said: “You guys need to be grateful toward Nan Huairen for saving your lives. If you have any complaints about my actions, you should go and report it to the Elders. However, don’t let me personally deal with you because the result would not be preferable on your end.”

Nan Huairen’s intention was revealed by Li Qiye, and he could only smile sheepishly.

The beaten students were frozen with fear. This person, before them, was a frightening man; there was no resemblance of a thirteen-year-old boy.

Li Qiye walked back to his peak after speaking his mind.
