Chapter 1036: Sudden Variable (2/2)

Bai Kongzhao possessed unfathomable combat instincts. Her attacks were always unimaginable and accurate, capable of grasping the briefest of opportunities. Ji Tianqing, on the other hand, was unpredictably diverse in her repertoire of powerful secret arts and skills, definitely a good candidate to suppress Bai Kongzhao.

On the surface, it would seem Anwen was destined to lose, but his fighting spirit didn’t falter. He tapped in the air with his left hand, whereupon a ring of faint demonic energy appeared around Bai Kongzhao’s feet. The girl’s body became extremely light, and her speed increased sharply. Now, Ji Tianqing could no longer laugh because she wouldn’t be able to stop Bai Kongzhao if she was intent on running away.

“Run!” Anwen shouted. He was already at his limit after restraining three people at once.

Although no one had really attacked at this point, the situation had been changing constantly. Both sides had been in a secret confrontation that could only be described as brilliant.

Bai Kongzhao, however, didn’t take the opportunity Anwen had created for her. She only said, “I’m not running, I surrender.”

“Surrender?” Ji Tianqing, who was ready to burst into battle, felt as though she had tripped and fell. She had considered Anwen and Bai Kongzhao as equal experts. How could people at their level utter the word surrender?

Qianye’s gaze fell upon Bai Kongzhao’s face. At this moment, the reflection in his eyes was no longer Anwen but the little girl.

Anwen became even tenser after noticing that he was no longer being locked onto. However, Li Kuanglan was retraining him from the side, so he couldn’t make a move to draw Qianye’s attention back to him. If he were to break this deadlock and attack, Qianye might take Bai Kongzhao’s life with a single Shot of Inception.

The demonkin stared at that black feather on Qianye’s wings and sighed after a good while.

Qianye finally spoke, “Why are you surrendering?”

Bai Kongzhao produced half the white-fruit she had been keeping. “This is for you.”

The white fruit seemed easy to get for Qianye’s group, but it had become a scarce resource now that they were far from the central region. Obtaining more was now impossible after the appearance of the six-armed general, so half a white-fruit was now a fairly valuable treasure.

Ji Tianqing snorted. “You want to buy your life with just that? Take out better things or there’s no discussion.”

Qianye waved his hand. “Fine, I accept. You guys can go.”

Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan were surprised at why Qianye would let such powerful enemies go. But since Qianye had already spoken, they refrained from arguing with him and merely stepped back to open the way.

Bai Kongzhao placed the bounty in his hand, and then slowly stepped backward. Anwen glanced at Qianye, saying, “I hope we can fight to our heart’s content when we have the opportunity.”

Qianye replied calmly, “Anytime.”

Ji Tianqing asked all of a sudden, “Why are you guys here?”

Anwen replied without any hesitation, “I have a Storm Pearl, so I wanted to help her condense an origin crystal.”

“Oh, that’s why. I have two origin crystals here, see if you want it. You can trade it for the Storm Pearl and other things.” Ji Tianqing produced the two origin crystals she and Li Kuanglan had condensed.

Anwen didn’t refuse. He took out a pair of black-rimmed glasses and arrived beside Ji Tianqing to observe the crystals.

They had daggers drawn the last moment, yet now they were ready to do business. The situation had changed so unexpectedly. Qianye took a step forward and stood behind Ji Tianqing, lest Anwen attacks all of a sudden.

Anwen noticed Qianye’s thoughts. He looked up with a cold smile, saying, “She’s a proud lady who won’t go back against her words. And so am I. We’re looking to trade right now, so we won’t be fighting midway. You’ve known her for so long, don’t you even realize this much?”

Qianye was astounded and didn’t really know what to say. He really didn’t understand Ji Tianqing all that much. In truth, Qianye hadn’t given her much attention despite their long friendship.

Ji Tianqing chuckled. “Pick fast or the price will go up.”

Anwen looked at the crystals for a while and then shook his head. “Don’t you have better ones?”

“No,” Ji Tianqing replied decisively. She wasn’t about to take out the crystal Qianye had produced.

Anwen said regretfully, “Their grades are too low for her.”

“Too low?” Ji Tianqing wasn’t happy.

Anwen didn’t hold back. “Her future prospects will become limited if she were to absorb these two crystals.”

These two middle-grade origin crystals were for people with no hopes of becoming a divine champion. Bai Kongzhao was quite famous back in the Bai clan, but everyone knew of her talents as well. She had no hope of reaching the divine champion realm, so none of the major powers paid her much attention. Bai Aotu eventually caved in to the clan’s pressure as well.

Anwen was implying that she had the potential to break through to the divine champion realm, but Ji Tianqing couldn’t be bothered to explain or argue.
