675 Fulfill the Promise and Meet at Mount Tai (1/2)
At the summit of Mount Tai was a man in a brocade robe with purplish-black borders. He sat alone at the edge of a cliff. Before him were stones that seemed to have been cut by a sword. They were as flat as a stage. There were two wine cups on it, along with a porcelain pot of wine.
He poured himself wine and drank from it. He seemed incredibly satisfied with his life.
It had been a few months since anyone had last seen him. That man of few words had a cold face with a hint of age. There was a third-echelon divine weapon that countless martial artists longed for lying casually against the stone stage.
The man stared beyond the cliff expressionlessly and drank cup after cup. His robes fluttered madly against the wind as if he was about to be blown off the cliff at any moment and fly with the wind.
Quite a number of people had already arrived at the area, but they remained in the distance.
No one dared get closer.
There was someone who tried to go over and strike up a conversation the day before, but One Emperor had just performed a simple sword draw and sheath. That person was not even able to activate his body fortification in time before he ended up lying in his own pool of blood.
There were many people who did not manage to capture One Emperor's actions.
His longsword continued lying on the stone stage as if it had never moved before.
One Emperor also seemed to not have taken any action. He remained holding his cup.
Only a sword glare was seen in the air, and it was a sword glare that resembled a black bolt of lightning!
Then, One Emperor said coldly, ”I don't mind facing challengers before my fight with Happy.”
It meant that all those who approached him would be treated as enemies.
From then onwards, no one dared to take a step forward for fear of getting caught in a crossfire. After all, up until that point in the game, all those who were slightly famous suffered quite a huge loss by dying even once.
Time passed, but Happy did not appear.
Yet One Emperor did not show any traces of impatience. He waited on the spot quietly.
*****
On the third day, Happy finally arrived.
There was a bit of red on his sleeves, and the stain seemed to be new, as if he had just dyed it with blood recently. He carried with him an incredibly eye-catching black sword casket and walked to One Emperor with a calm and relaxed manner through the path the crowd had created for him by splitting up.
”Heaven Crystal?”
”Yeah.”
Happy casually placed the sword casket with Heaven Crystal on the stone stage. He just tossed it there like One Emperor did for his third-echelon divine weapon.
When the numerous martial artists saw it from the distance, their gazes instantly burned with greed.
There was supposed to be a battle to the death between two top-tier players, but before they attacked each other, the two weapons already caused the hearts of the people who heard about it and came to the summit to watch the battle race in excitement.
The divine weapon in One Emperor's hands was known as Seventh Sword. It suddenly rose up Divine Weapons Rank some time ago and stood above a lot of fourth-echelon grade one masterpieces. With the supreme status of a third-echelon high-grade divine weapon, it stood above countless masterpieces, and normal divine weapons as well as demon vessels at the top spot on Divine Weapons Rank!
Many of the famous merchants in the market made an assessment for Seventh Sword.
One billion taels of gold!
It was worth a few hundred million RMB.
Even though the price was a little exaggerated, in the current World of Martial Arts, where high-grade divine weapons could be counted on one hand, the estimated price was not over the top. Many of the lucky people who obtained divine weapons did not have the courage to refine them, much less take three consecutive risks.
At the moment Happy removed the sword casket with Heaven Crystal from his back, One Emperor looked with curiosity at it. When he saw Happy pour a cup of wine for himself and drink it as a sign of acknowledgement for the sword casket of Heaven Crystal, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
”I heard from the rumors in the game that the ancient divine weapon, Heaven Crystal, is an intelligent weapon. It has its own sword spirit, and only the demon vessel, Tiger Soul, can compare to it among the divine weapons in the game right now. Will I be able to see it today?”
