Chapter 1020 - Dangerous Environment (1/2)
The Level 5 experts were stunned for a brief moment. A few seconds later, they began to panic. What did a Godblade that could be used in battle mean?
It meant it truly was a godly weapon.
Although the Level 5 experts had originally come for the Rebirth Egg, they realized that the Rebirth Egg would only be able to help their disciples reach the partial Level 5 state. The Rebirth Egg would not be able to boost the Level 5 expert's personal powers at all.
However, the Zhanlu Sword was different. It was truly capable of enhancing a Level 5 expert's capabilities. If a Level 5 expert possessed the Zhanlu Sword, he would be virtually invincible.
Jiang Fei passed the Zhanlu Sword to Isabella so that she could protect herself. However, he had forgotten that the others would want to snatch it from her.
Even the Level 5 experts were affected by greed. Although they usually behaved as if they did not care about wealth and fame, it was only because the common luxuries of the world no longer mattered to them.
However, the Zhanlu Sword's appearance had clearly invoked a sense of greed in these Level 5 experts. They were no longer targeting the Rebirth Egg. Instead, they focused their attention on the Zhanlu Sword.
Although they wanted to snatch the Zhanlu Sword, they were hesitant to dive right in as they too feared the might of the sword. After all, the unlucky Level 5 expert had already proved how frightening the Zhanlu Sword was earlier.
Apart from that, they also feared Zhuge Shanzhen. Although all of them had never seen Zhuge Shanzhen in person, they had heard about his status as a Level 6 expert. Therefore, these Level 5 experts were somewhat afraid of being avenged by Zhuge Shanzhen despite their eagerness to snatch the Zhanlu Sword for themselves.
While they debated among themselves, time was passing by very quickly. There was only an hour left before Beowulf was hatched. However, nobody was paying any attention to him right now. Everyone had their eyes on the Zhanlu Sword.
”Nevermind. I can't take the risk. Even if I managed to snatch the Zhanlu Sword, I may not be able to fight against Zhuge Shanzhen. Besides, if he could make a Godblade suited for battles, he could probably make another one. I won't risk it!” One of the Level 5 experts finally decided as he left.
”The risk is too high. It's not worth it! I'm better off looking for other deals!” Another Level 5 expert agreed. Although he had given up on the Zhanlu Sword, he was not prepared to leave. Instead, he waited around. His target was still the Rebirth Egg in Jiang Fei's hands. While he agreed that snatching the Godblade was too risky, he decided that he would find an opportunity to snatch the Rebirth Egg instead.
Although he would still be stealing from Zhuge Shanzhen's disciple, it was a different case. Firstly, the Zhanlu Sword's value was far greater than the Rebirth Egg. Secondly, the Zhanlu Sword was a gift from Zhuge Shanzhen to his own disciple. Meanwhile, the Rebirth Egg did not actually belong to Jiang Fei. It was a common rule among metahumans that everyone had the right to fight each other for world's treasures. As long as he did not harm Jiang Fei's life, Zhuge Shanzhen would probably not seek him out for revenge.
As such, the Level 5 expert decided not to leave the place.
”Damn! The higher the risks, the greater the rewards! If I can acquire the Godblade, Zhuge Shanzhen won't stand a chance against me!” Apart from the two Level 5 experts who had given up on the Zhanlu Sword, there were others who still had hopes.
This showed how tempting the Zhanlu Sword was to these Level 5 experts. Even with the threat of Zhuge Shanzhen who was believed to be a Level 6 expert, they still decided to take the risk.
