Chapter 40 – Bones (2/2)
Mystic Arms can store stances which were activated by the Qi of the user. They were sorted into five different grades, low, medium, top, imperial, and sacred. Each grade then divided into ten star levels.
Low grade arms store Spirit stances, and they glow black when activated.
Medium grade arms store Myst stances, and glow green while activated. Top grade arms store Earth stances, and have a silver glow; whereas Imperial grade arms store Sky stances, they glow gold while activated.
Sacred grade arms, rare as they were, store Heaven stances and glow purple!
Mystic Arms were crafted from bones of rare beasts and demons. Some of these powerful creatures carry stances in their bodies and bones therefore their remains were always sought after by men. And these artifacts even low grade ones were very rare. The stances within are unique and therefore hard to deal with.
Judging by the glow, Ye Zheng Qing’s Mystic Arm was medium grade. There were less than five pieces of that quality in all of Green Moon City, and all of them were valued family heirlooms that won’t be put to use unless absolutely necessary. The fact that Ye Patriarch owns this piece adds a bit more mystery to the Ye family’s history.
The power of a medium grade arm was great enough to threaten condensed prime Warriors.
“No wonder why you refused to hand your ancestral land over. What else do you have up your sleeve old fart?” Du Yuan Ming glared at the Ye Patriarch with intensity.
Du Yuan Ming’s cultivation advantage over Ye Zheng Qing had just been evened by the artifact as such the result of the fight was not so clear all of a sudden.
The audience was surprised to see what the Ye Patriarch was holding.
“That green glow! The Ye family is holding nothing back! I had no idea they had access a Mystic Arm!”
“The Ye family is full of surprises aren’t they! Do you think Du Patriarch can deal with the Mystic Arm?”
Some of the audience were drooling over Ye Patriarch’s artifact hoping that the two families will weaken each other, and when the chance presents itself the Mystic Arm would be up for grabs. Medium grade arms talk louder than money does.
“Is it really a good move showing his bracelet this soon? Or fighting the Du family at all? He might be able to take down Du Patriarch, but is it really worth… That medium grade arm will just end up in Zhou Wu or Dong Ho’s hands!”
“This is going to get messy kind of exciting isn’t it?” Stronger members of the audience were just standing back and waiting for the start.
Du Yuan Ming laughed, “Ye Zheng Qing, do you think you are the only person here with dirty tricks up your sleeves? You’re not seriously thinking you can save your family with that sissy bracelet do you? Let me tell you a little secret, we have back-up! Someone high up and powerful wants your land. It’s not convenient for him to show his face, but he did gave us a few things to help seal the deal! You have no chance against us what you just did is basically handing over a valuable item!”
The whole Ye camp heard what he said, and their hearts dropped. Ye Zheng Qing was saddened. Just the thought of a powerful figure behind this campaign scared him. ‘Who is powerful enough to use Du family as a chess piece? What have I done wrong to deserve this?’
The Ye family was full of questions. They had never been this scared. However, there was one person who was more angry than he was scared. Ye Wei had been through a lot lately, all the negativity converted to anger then despair.
‘I swear if I live this day, I will find out who is behind this, and whoever it is will pay for the suffering of my family!’ Ye Wei swore.
“Power speaks for itself! Watch this! Ye Patriarch and you will see how little you and your family are!” Du Yuan Ming laughed and fetched three scrolls from his pocket; the three scrolls the radiated a faint green light.
