Chapter 84 – Scrolls (2/2)

“Ha, dodge this!” Ye Wei looked at the Lu Chao’s clumsy figure knowing that Lu Chao barely got away from the first wave of Qi swords. Ye Wei channeled his Qi to speed up the swords and then swung them towards Lu Chao again.

“Zoom!”

The Qi swords accelerated, and despite Lu Chao’s efforts, he only dodged two of the three swords. The last one flew straight to his face.

Lu Chao’s pupil dilated as he looked at the approaching Qi sword. The veins on his face bulged as he filled his body with Qi. He managed to move his head just an inch to the left a second before the sword connected.

“I will kill you!”

The sharp edge of the sword left a shockingly long wound on Lu Chao’s neck. Blood was gushing out as he was overwhelmed by pain. His facial expression turned from surprised to hateful. He stared at Ye Wei with the intention to kill him, and then aggressively injected his Qi into the dagger in his hand.

“Die!”

Lu Chao’s Qi activated the stance within his two-star medium-grade mystic arm. The three-inch dagger immediately shone bright, and a small hurricane of Qi started brewing around it.

The Qi dagger flew towards Ye Wei in a flash. They were quick, hardly visible, and wrapped with dangerous Qi. They flew very low over the ground, so low that all the grass, mud, and rubble under its path were flung up into the air.

The three-inch dagger was advancing on Ye Wei like a bloodthirsty predator.

This was bad for Ye Wei. He expected Lu Chao’s ambush, but he did not anticipate that he would have a medium-grade mystic arm. His pupils dilated as he figured out why, ‘The shape of this dagger matches the hole by the stone monument!’

“Cut!” Ye Wei redirected the three Qi swords to Lu Chao’s dagger, and at the same time, he took another scroll out of his bag.

“Bang! Bang!”

The Qi sword was rendered into loose strands of energy and vanished before it could get close to the dagger as it was dissipated by the hurricane of Qi around it. Unmoved by the Qi sword, the dagger kept approaching Ye Wei with unstoppable momentum.

“Just a Spirit stance, there is no way you can guard my Myst stance with that sh*t! Say goodbye to your pathetic life!” Behind the hurricane, Lu Chao was recklessly laughing. He could already see Ye Wei’s head falling from his body sliced by his vicious attack.

“Forbidden high-level Spirit stance – Cyan Windguard!” Ye Wei slowly exhaled as he refocused his mind back to a calm state and tore one of his scrolls.

‘It’s just a medium-grade mystic arm; I have plenty of scrolls to deal with it; no need to panic.’

“Zoom! Zoom!”

More than a hundred glittering runes appeared and spread out forming a screen which then transformed into a curved green wind wall in front of Ye Wei.

“Bang!”

Moments after the wind wall appeared, it was struck by the dagger together with the Qi hurricane, mud, and rubble. The wind wall shook vigorously as every point of impact rippled; it was starting to show signs of fracturing.

“Scrolls? Ha, I would like to see how many scrolls you have!” Lu Chao was levitating and watching Ye Wei from midair with an evil grin on his face.

“Crack! Crack!”

Under the pressure of the Qi hurricane, the green wind wall was started to crack and bend. A spider web like fracture started to appear and grow on Ye Wei’s defensive stance.

“Scrolls? I have plenty of them!” Standing behind the wind wall, Ye Wei put his hand into his bag and calmly took out another scroll.

After a loud bang, the wind wall shattered, but at the same moment, Ye Wei tore the second scroll releasing another forbidden Spirit stance.

A Qi screen with a metallic glow appeared where the wind wall just dissipated!

Low-grade scrolls were much cheaper than medium-grade ones as they were pretty much mass produced. The supply of low-grade scrolls never ran low. If a person had enough money, he would never run out of them, and because of that, Ye Wei was more than willing to use those scrolls. He would much rather spend more time using them before actually deciding to use a medium-grade scroll as the latter were rare to come by.

“Boom!”

The dagger and the Qi hurricane broke through Ye Wei’s defense again and again. Ye Wei took a few steps back and tore one scroll after another activating shield after shield in front of him.

Although the dagger was breaking the shields consistently, it was also weakened by a fraction every time it broke through a defensive stance.

The Myst stance was impressive, but it just couldn’t connect to Ye Wei because he was protected by so many defensive stances. By this time Ye Wei had torn the eighth scroll calmly, the Qi hurricane around the dagger died down, and Lu Chao was completely shocked.

“How… How many scrolls do you have!?” Lu Chao could feel and see how the dagger was getting weaker and weaker as he shouted at Ye Wei.

Ye Wei had already torn eight scrolls, and he was calm as usual. One of his hands was in his bag ready to take out another scroll if needed.

“You want to know how many scrolls I have? Just keep wasting your Qi on activating the stance in your dagger, I am as curious about how long your dantian will last if you keep pumping Qi into your cute little toy!” Ye Wei said while staring at Lu Chao with a cold glare.
