Chapter 68 – Purple Chiffon

Ye Wei looked around him, and there were three Students heading in the same direction he was.

“Get out of the way!” They said furiously in unison aware that they were in no position to contest with the others for the Mystic Arms, so they settled for the idea of getting some ordinary items instead.

As they approached, Ye Wei threw three consecutive punches towards them in a flash. Although none of them connected, the Students were forced to take a few steps back to dodge the fierce strikes.

“How dare you!”

“You are just a Student, and you’re picking a fight with us three?” The three-star Students channeled their Qi, which turned their skin green and with their empowered green fists they stuck ruthlessly towards Ye Wei.

The fists simultaneously flew towards Ye Wei’s back, left shoulder, and right arm from behind him. He felt the approaching threat and bent his body forward to dodge the attacks as he launched himself forward towards the iron talisman.

Ye Wei just wanted the talisman, and he didn’t want to fight so he threw the punches just to buy himself some extra time.

Ye Wei’s evasion did not surprise the three Students, but the item that he launched himself towards did. They couldn’t believe he was after a rusty piece of trash.

They looked at each other and laughed, “Just leave him then!” The leader of the three shouted as they ran towards the single edged sword lying not far from the iron talisman. ‘What an idiot, you could have taken this weapon instead.’ He chuckled as he got his hand on the piece of well forged rare metal; it was worth at least a few thousand silver.

“It’s mine!” Ye Wei shouted as his hand was three inches from his target. He felt the cold iron on his fingertips, and he also felt something sharp approaching from behind.

It was a familiar feeling. Three sharp Qi daggers tore through the air towards his hand at a fearsome speed, and luckily for Ye Wei, he noticed them before it was too late. He swiftly pulled his hand backwards.

Ye Wei didn’t lose his hand, but the daggers did graze it. He held his bleeding hand and looked towards where the attacks came from. “It’s you!” Ye Wei narrowed his eyes. He recognized those faces, ‘The people from the first stone house we had entered.’

He knew he was in for trouble when he saw the four Warriors who were staring at him furiously. This time, Lin Zi Yan was not by his side. He immediately reached for his interspatial bag; if they make another move, Ye Wei would use a scroll without hesitation.

“You are four Warriors, why aren’t you guys after the Mystic Arms instead of bullying me?” He knew how valuable the scrolls were, and although he would use them if the situation requires him to, he was still trying to talk himself out of this mess.

“Because we can! Now give us the pills you took from the stone house then we will leave you be!” The strongest one of them said with a greedy smile on his face.

They considered fighting for the Mystic Arms, but as they were deciding if it was worth it to risk their lives fighting the stronger Warriors, they spotted Ye Wei. ‘It’s safer to get the pills off this weakling!’ They all had the same thought, and they were actually still angry that Ye Wei and Lin Zi Yan got away from them; therefore, they opted for the less risky course of action.

“So I guess you aren’t going to back off?” Ye Wei grabbed the iron talisman with his right hand and took a green scroll out of the bag with his left.

“A Myst scroll!” One of the Warriors told the rest of the group as his eyes caught the green glow. His friends’ eyes widened, and their smiles disappeared.
