Chapter 85

After all, Ye Wei was still young and couldn't bring himself to kill, but Lu Zhao had repeatedly provoked him, each time pushing Ye Wei to his limits. This time, Ye Wei would definitely not let him off!

Hearing this, Lu Zhao felt a chill run down his spine. Just by activating the Profound Rank divine ability once, the essence energy in his dantian space was almost depleted. How could he have any essence energy left to support a second activation?

He couldn't activate the divine ability contained in the middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapon anymore, while Ye Wei still had an unknown number of divine scrolls in his hand. If this continued, the one who would definitely give in first would be him!

And once he couldn't hold on, the outcome was predictable!

"Kid, there's no deep-seated grudge between us. I'll give up those three middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapons, they're all yours. Can we call it quits?" Lu Zhao's eyes darted around, pointing to the three middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapons in front of the half-broken stone stele. He activated the three-inch small sword to fly back to his side and said in a deep voice.

Ye Wei glanced at Lu Zhao. He knew that Lu Zhao must have ulterior motives. He said coldly, "We can call it quits, but only if you put down the barbarian bone dao weapon in your hand, then you can leave!"

"Don't be too excessive! Your cultivation is merely at the Apprentice Realm, while I am a Seventh Rank Martial Artist. My Lu family is one of the four major families in Cold Sun City, and a Condensation Essence Realm expert from my Lu family is guarding outside the Blood Mist Valley! You won't necessarily gain any advantage!"

"I've already agreed to give up those three middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapons, what more do you want? Don't push your luck!" Lu Zhao glanced at the three middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapons, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

"It seems the essence energy in your dantian space is really not enough to support a second activation of the middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapon. Is stalling for time useful?" Ye Wei calmly looked at Lu Zhao, taking a step forward, and another divine scroll appeared in his hand.

This divine scroll was no longer a defensive-type Spirit Rank divine scroll, but an offensive-type Spirit Rank divine scroll containing a high-level divine ability of the forbidden technique level!

"A man like you, who has no sense of honor, deserves to die!" Ye Wei's fingers tightened slightly, and with a light tearing sound, the divine scroll in his hand was torn open.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The moment the divine patterns were torn, hundreds of ice cicada shadows rushed out from the divine patterns, and the temperature around them suddenly dropped. The ice cicadas flapped their wings, creating whirlwinds.

"Kill!"

With a slight thought, Ye Wei activated the hundreds of ice cicadas, sending them to attack Lu Zhao.

"High-level Spirit Rank divine ability of the forbidden technique level—Light Dance of Ice Cicadas!" Looking at the ice cicadas, Lu Zhao's face turned pale. Due to the extreme cold, the wound on his neck had frozen, and even before the ice cicadas approached, ice crystals had formed on his hair and eyebrows, and his joints had stiffened.

"It's you who forced me! If I die, I'll take you with me!" Lu Zhao clenched his fists tightly, his face twisted with madness. The remaining essence energy in his dantian space surged out, and he shot towards the black staff behind Ye Wei like an arrow.

Lu Zhao not only didn't dodge but charged towards the ice cicadas. Seeing this, Ye Wei's face also changed slightly. To be on the safe side, Ye Wei took out another defensive-type Spirit Rank divine scroll.

As long as Lu Zhao dared to charge at Ye Wei, Ye Wei would tear the divine scroll in his hand without hesitation!

However, what Ye Wei didn't expect was that Lu Zhao didn't charge at him but at the black staff behind him.

Bang!

An ice cicada exploded on Lu Zhao's body, ice shards flying everywhere.

Lu Zhao, hit by such a powerful impact, spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ye Wei frowned slightly, his hand gripping the divine scroll tighter, looking at Lu Zhao who had rushed to the black staff with a hint of confusion. With Lu Zhao's essence energy, even if he got those middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapons, he wouldn't have the essence energy to activate them!

"Want to kill me? It's not that easy. Even if I die, I'll take one with me!"

Lu Zhao held the part of the black staff that was exposed, his face becoming even more twisted. He pulled the black staff out with all his might.

Boom!

The moment the black staff was pulled out, black flames suddenly shot up into the sky, the terrifying heat quickly burning away the surrounding grass and trees, leaving the ground scorched and black.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The ice cicadas rushing towards Lu Zhao were instantly evaporated the moment they touched the black flames!

Lu Zhao seemed to have anticipated the black flames, so when he pulled out the black staff, he threw it towards Ye Wei and tore a divine scroll. The divine patterns gathered under his feet, and a gentle breeze appeared, lifting Lu Zhao into the sky, narrowly avoiding the black flames.

"Ha ha ha! Enjoy the terror of the Furious Black Ape!"

Before Lu Zhao's voice had even faded, a deafening roar of a barbarian beast suddenly sounded from the black flames. From the divine patterns glowing with a faint light, a giant ape shadow, over three zhang tall and covered in black steel-like hair, rushed out of the black flames.

The black ape was surrounded by black flames, but the scorching heat couldn't harm it at all. From a distance, this giant black ape seemed like a terrifying demon that had crawled out of hell.

"Rank-level barbarian beast, Furious Black Ape!" Ye Wei's face turned very grim as he looked at the barbarian beast shadow emerging from the black flames, his hand gripping the divine scroll trembling slightly.

A rank-level barbarian beast was on the same level as a Condensation Essence Realm expert!

"Kid, this Furious Black Ape barbarian beast shadow is at least as strong as a Third Rank Condensation Essence Realm expert. Even a middle-grade divine scroll might not be able to stop it. This time, you're inescapable!" Lu Zhao, standing in the air with a gentle breeze under his feet, looked down at Ye Wei surrounded by black flames, a mad smile on his face.

There were four middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapons in front of the half-broken stone stele. As long as the barbarian bone dao weapon was pulled out, the divine ability contained within would activate automatically.

Lu Zhao only discovered this secret after he suffered a loss. Among the four middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapons, the three-inch small sword in his hand was the lowest rank. Even so, Lu Zhao had used two Spirit Rank divine scrolls and endured a bitter struggle to successfully obtain the three-inch small sword.

The four middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapons were ranked as follows: the three-inch small sword was a Second Rank middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapon, the black staff was a Third Rank middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapon, the blood-colored long sword, and the three-foot ancient sword were of even higher rank. Lu Zhao didn't dare to touch the blood-colored long sword and the three-foot ancient sword. As for the exact rank of the blood-colored long sword and the three-foot ancient sword, Lu Zhao wasn't sure, but he could confirm that they were at least Third Rank middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapons.

Middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapons above the Third Rank were extremely rare. Jin Yan and Mo Ya, both from the top families in the main city of Ningcheng, one of the thirty-six cities in the county, only had middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapons of the Third Rank.

The three middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapons Ye Wei obtained from the spatial storage divine pattern were all just First Rank, the most ordinary middle-grade First Rank barbarian bone dao weapons, and couldn't be compared to these four barbarian bone dao weapons at all.

The moment the Furious Black Ape appeared, Lu Zhao also suffered a significant backlash. He endured the pain, looking down at Ye Wei below, and muttered, "I wonder how many middle-grade divine scrolls he has. He should be able to hold out for a while. The best outcome would be for him to be killed by the Furious Black Ape, and the Furious Black Ape shadow to dissipate at the same time!"

"In that case, I can not only get the treasures from the young man's spatial storage divine pattern but also obtain a Third Rank middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapon!" Lu Zhao stood in the air, licking his lips greedily, waiting for the moment when Ye Wei and the Furious Black Ape would both be injured.

"The divine ability contained in the Spirit Rank divine scrolls might not be able to withstand this rank-level barbarian beast shadow. Should I use a middle-grade divine scroll?" Ye Wei felt the terrifying heat around him and looked at the Furious Black Ape shadow slowly approaching him, his face showing a serious expression.

The Furious Black Ape was enormous, and every step it took felt like a mountain collapsing.

Lin Ziyuan had given him two defensive-type middle-grade divine scrolls, and Ye Wei had obtained thirty-six middle-grade divine scrolls from the spatial storage divine pattern, making a total of thirty-eight middle-grade divine scrolls. Defending against the Furious Black Ape barbarian beast was not a problem, but Ye Wei didn't know how many middle-grade divine scrolls it would take to deal with the Furious Black Ape.

With Ye Wei's current strength, he couldn't activate the divine ability contained in the middle-grade barbarian bone dao weapons, so these middle-grade divine scrolls were his biggest trump card. He was reluctant to use them unless absolutely necessary, as middle-grade divine scrolls were something that couldn't be bought even with money!

But Ye Wei had no choice now!

Looking at the Furious Black Ape shadow surrounded by black flames, Ye Wei gritted his teeth, put the Spirit Rank divine scroll back into his Qiankun bag, and took out a middle-grade divine scroll emitting a faint green light.

"Lu Zhao, do you think a Furious Black Ape can save your life?"

Ye Wei looked fearlessly at Lu Zhao, who was floating in the air behind the Furious Black Ape, his eyes filled with determination, ready to tear the middle-grade divine scroll in his hand at any moment.

"Hmm?"

Just as Ye Wei was about to tear the divine scroll in his hand, the iron plate hanging from his waist suddenly started to vibrate.
