Chapter 67 – Iron Talisman (2/2)
While everyone else had their eyes on the ten Mystic Arms in the air, Ye Wei couldn’t take his eyes off a rusty little iron talisman that fell to the ground. His Sentient started to glow as it reacted to the sight of it. It filled his body with Qi and will-force.
The iron talisman looked beat up and old, and it was just quietly laying on the floor. Nobody was paying the piece of junk any mind.
“What is this iron talisman?” Ye Wei widened his eyes in shock. He couldn’t believe his body would react just by looking at this ordinary item. Supposedly, it was more attractive than the Mystic Arms to him.
“I have to have this!” Ye Wei mumbled while he clenched his fist. He couldn’t quite explain the desire, but he was hopelessly drawn to that rusty trinket.
There were a lot of powerful fighters in the hall, but most of them had their eyes set on the Mystic Arms, almost nobody noticed what Ye Wei saw. That means it was actually possible for him to acquire the item. Furthermore, he was even ready to use his mystic scrolls if that’s what it took.
The atmosphere in the hall became a little strange. Moments ago they were united by the same cause wanting to break the shield together, but now that the treasures were within everyone’s reach they started to keep a distance from each other as they saw everyone as competition instead of comrades.
Without Jin Yan and Mo Ya’s presence, the crowd would have already turned into a brawl. People were afraid of the two from Ning City; thus, they waited for them to make the first move.
“Ha, you guys are pretty respectful!” Mo Ya looked down to find the crowd was anticipating him and Jin Yan’s action.
“What a shame! If these trash actually dared to go wild, I would have an excuse to crush some skulls!” Jin Yan said indifferently. Although he was a bloodthirsty teenager who didn’t really care about anyone in the hall, he restrained himself from unnecessary bloodshed.
The crowd knew Mo Ya and Jin Yan could easily wipe them out, and as much as they wanted the treasure they valued their lives more. That respect and fear might just have saved their lives.
“These three medium grade Mystic Arms are off limits! But the rest… you guys can fight for them if you wish!” Jin Yan chuckled and shouted to the crowd. “Go!”
As Jin Yan’s words echoed in the hall, the greed-crazed crowd ran towards the treasures, and their bloodshot eyes were set on the seven low-grade Mystic Arms.
Lin Zi Yan’s eyes darted to Ye Wei, “ Little Wei, you must follow me be no more than a hundred meters away. I have to get that Mystic Arm; it cannot fall into anyone’s hands but mine!” She said calmly as she channeled her energy, and her will-force rushed out of her Sentient to her entire body. Her Qi wrapped tightly around her skin, and she appeared to be covered by a layer of purple flame.
“Zi Yan, don’t worry about me; I have to do something here!” Ye Wei didn’t want to burden Lin Zi Yan, and she looked determined. Furthermore, the iron talisman was nowhere close to where Lin Zi Yan was heading.
Ye Wei knew Lin Zi Yan was hiding her true strength, but he couldn’t imagine she would actually go and compete with Jin Yan and Mo Ya for a medium grade Mystic Arms.
Lin Zi Yan was in a hurry, and although she cared about Ye Wei like no other, she had to get to Jin Yan and Mo Ya before it was too late. “Please take care of yourself! If you find yourself in any kind of danger, just use the scrolls!” She knew if Ye Wei were to use the scrolls, he would be relatively safe if he wasn’t crazy enough to pick a fight with someone as strong as Mo Ya or Jin Yan.
“I understand! Just do what you have to!” Ye Wei answered and leaped towards the iron talisman.
Lin Zi Yan’s body disappeared. She used the Shadowshift stance to get herself close to the medium grade Mystic Arms.
A brawl broke out as Ye Wei and Lin Zi Yan headed separate ways, the hall was filled with the smell of blood. As Ye Wei expected, the whole crowd was heading towards the seven low-grade Mystic Arms, and only a few of them were actually running towards the less desired items on the ground.
“I’ve got this!” Ye Wei was relieved that there were no Warriors on the way to contest him. He clenched his fist and transferred some Qi to his feet to speed up.
Although he had no idea what the rusty talisman was, anything that could excite his Sentient would not be ordinary.
