”As for the problem of the ownership of this spirit artifact, I feel that we can use a year for the duration! Boss, your strength is the greatest, so you get half a year. The remaining half a year will be split among the three of us. Each of us gets two months . . .”
The more Old Second talked, the more excited he got. He felt that his allocation plan was very reasonable. It could dispel the boss's discontent and also let himself use a spirit artifact for a period of time.
”Oh, your idea is pretty good. I concur,” Chen Jieqiu nodded and said.
”Then what do the rest of the brothers think?” Old Second asked again.
Old Third and Old Fourth naturally did not have any objections.
Old Second opened his mouth again. He said, ”Since that's the case, then let's decide it like this. But to avoid everyone reneging in the future, we'd better set a Heavenly Dao Oath . . . Ahhh!”
Old Second had not finished talking when he flew out.
He spewed fresh blood frenziedly in midair and landed feebly on the ground. There was air going in but no breathing out. Clearly, he was done for.
This change happened too suddenly. Old Third and Old Fourth did not even manage to react yet.
Chen Jieqiu did not hesitate. After ambushing Old Second, the attack he prepared long ago was launched at Old Third!
A chilling light flashed past, and a blade severed Old Third's arm with extreme speed.
Old Third's reaction was also fast. He slightly tilted his body. Otherwise, this move would have split him into two!
”Arghhh!” Old Third cried out wretchedly and hastily revolved his essence energy to try and stop the bleeding from the wound.
Old Fourth looked at Chen Jieqiu in horror and reproached furiously, ”What's the meaning of this, Boss?!”
The moment the sneak attack succeeded, Chen Jieqiu finally felt relieved.
Among them, the Southern Ridge Four Heroes, Old Fourth's strength was the weakest, being only at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Dealing with him was not hard.
What he feared most were Old Second and Old Third joining hands. That would more or less be quite troublesome.
If they fought until both sides were injured over here, would it not benefit that brat by the side?
”Heh heh, no other meaning. My intention . . . don't tell me that Old Fourth you still can't tell?” Chen Jieqiu said with a spurious smile.
Old Fourth's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, ”You're really vicious, Boss! Us brothers have already been together for ten years, right? You actually laid hands against life and death brothers for a spirit artifact!”
Chen Jieqiu sneered and said, ”Life and death brothers? Don't think I don't know your dirty deeds! These few years, your wings have grown hard. How many spoils of battle have you all pocketed? When have I not closed an eye to it? Every time we encounter a strong enemy, you run faster than a rabbit, Old Fourth! Who helped you all to fall back? Now that we finally came across a spirit artifact, you actually still want a portion of the soup from me! What's the f*cking point of placing this spirit artifact in your hands?”
”Even so, you shouldn't have murdered! We have so many years of sentiment between us brothers. What matter can't be discussed?” Old Fourth appeared to be enraged.
”Discuss my *ss! Think your father, I, still don't know your temperaments? If it was some other thing, then forget it. But this is a spirit artifact! A spirit artifact which even a Crystal Formation Realm old freak find hard to get! How could you all possibly watch me use it alone? Hence, it's better to kill off cleanly. This spirit artifact is mine, Chen Jieqiu's!”
The more Chen Jieqiu spoke, the more agitated he got.
Old Fourth's expression changed several times, but in the end, he still submitted, imploring, ”Big Brother! My strength is the weakest among us four brothers. I won't even think about owning a spirit artifact. Now that Second Brother and Third brother . . . One is dead and the other is injured, I'm even less of a threat. Can you let me off? I can swear a Heavenly Dao Oath that I'll absolutely not leak out the matter of you owning a spirit artifact!”
