Chapter 87

"What's going on?" Ye Wei's body was only frozen for an instant, but that instant left an indelible impression on him, one he would never forget.

The iron badge emitted a brilliant silver light, and as the intangible aura spread out, Ye Wei felt as if he had suddenly sunk into a quagmire, making even the slightest movement of his fingers a luxury.

Looking at the iron badge floating in mid-air, radiating brilliant silver light, and then at the enraged black ape's shadow frozen in mid-air, a flash of inspiration struck Ye Wei, and he instantly understood.

"The silver light emitted by the iron badge has constructed an intangible aura field with a radius of a hundred meters in a mysterious and profound way!" Ye Wei stared at the iron badge in shock, only now realizing how precious this badge truly was!

Even the enraged black ape, whose strength was comparable to that of a Condensation Essence Realm expert, was suppressed by this intangible aura field, unable to move... The value of this iron badge was simply immeasurable!

After a moment, Ye Wei was able to move again, but the enraged black ape in front of him remained immobilized.

"Phew!" Ye Wei calmed his excitement slightly and looked at the enraged black ape that was frozen in place.

"What's going on?" Lu Zhao, who was far away, was shocked to see this scene. What was that iron badge on Ye Wei's body? It could not only resist the black flames but also immobilize the enraged black ape.

Sensing that the enraged black ape might be eliminated, Lu Zhao glanced at the two half-buried primitive bone Dao artifacts in the soil. Unfortunately, the effect of the Green Wind Screen on his body had already disappeared, and with his physical body, he could not pass through the rolling flames to retrieve the two primitive bone Dao artifacts!

"I don't know how long this intangible aura field will last. I'll deal with this enraged black ape first!" Ye Wei put away the medium-grade defensive divine scroll he had already unfolded and quickly took out a medium-grade offensive divine scroll.

The enraged black ape's strength was comparable to that of a Condensation Essence Realm expert, and even a low-grade divine scroll containing a forbidden-level spirit technique would be powerless against it.

Sss!

Ye Wei directly unfolded the medium-grade offensive divine scroll in his hand, and with a tearing sound, the divine scroll split open.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Hundreds of glowing divine patterns, like stars in the dark night sky, flowed and combined in the sea of black flames, instantly forming a translucent blue bow and arrow shadow.

"Low-grade Mystic Technique—Torrential Rain Arrow!"

The moment the divine scroll split, Ye Wei felt an immense power at his command, though it did not belong to him, he could control it perfectly.

"Kill!" Ye Wei stared coldly at the enraged black ape's shadow, and the moment he thought of it, the bowstring of the translucent blue bow and arrow shadow began to vibrate violently.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Arrows as swift as lightning rained down on the enraged black ape, easily piercing its massive body, leaving hundreds of terrifying black holes.

The enraged black ape in front of Ye Wei was, after all, just a shadow condensed by a spirit technique, with defenses far inferior to those of a real enraged black ape.

The arrows rained down on the enraged black ape like a torrential rain.

The enraged black ape, immobilized by the mysterious iron badge, could not withstand the attack of the low-grade Mystic Technique. After a moment, the arrows dissipated, and the enraged black ape's massive body began to fade away visibly.

As the shadow of the enraged black ape dissipated, the black flames around Ye Wei also began to dissipate. Neither the enraged black ape nor the raging black flames were physical entities; they were essentially manifestations of primordial energy. With the spirit technique broken, the enraged black ape and the black flames naturally dissipated.

"Three-star medium-grade primitive bone Dao artifact!" After the black flames dissipated, Ye Wei slowly walked to the black staff that Lu Zhao had thrown over, and picked it up.

Holding the black staff, Ye Wei's eyes widened, and his face showed shock and wild joy.

Previously, Ye Wei knew the black staff was a medium-grade primitive bone Dao artifact, but he never expected it to be a three-star medium-grade primitive bone Dao artifact.

The three medium-grade primitive bone Dao artifacts Ye Wei had obtained from the spatial storage divine pattern were merely ordinary one-star medium-grade primitive bone Dao artifacts.

Even if the three one-star medium-grade primitive bone Dao artifacts were combined, their value and power were far inferior to a three-star medium-grade primitive bone Dao artifact. Holding this three-star medium-grade primitive bone Dao artifact, Ye Wei was extremely excited. He understood what a three-star medium-grade primitive bone Dao artifact meant.

The spirit techniques contained in one-star medium-grade primitive bone Dao artifacts were ordinary low-grade Mystic Techniques, while those in three-star medium-grade primitive bone Dao artifacts were top-tier low-grade Mystic Techniques. Some high-quality three-star medium-grade primitive bone Dao artifacts even contained peak low-grade Mystic Techniques.

The power of ordinary low-grade Mystic Techniques was a whole level lower than that of top-tier low-grade Mystic Techniques!

The three-star medium-grade primitive bone Dao artifact in Ye Wei's hand was a high-quality one, containing the peak low-grade Mystic Technique—Enraged Black Ape!

Primitive bone Dao artifacts could be activated with primordial energy, unlike divine scrolls, which could only be used once.

"No wonder the shadow of the enraged black ape was so powerful!" Ye Wei finally understood why the divine scroll he had torn could not withstand the shadow's punch.

"Lu Zhao, your time has come. This time, I will not let you go!" Thinking of the culprit who had triggered the shadow of the enraged black ape, Ye Wei's face darkened, and he stepped out through the gradually dissipating black flames.

Seeing Ye Wei defeat the enraged black ape, Lu Zhao was both shocked and angry. He never expected Ye Wei to have so many trump cards. Seeing Ye Wei put away the three-star medium-grade primitive bone Dao artifact, Lu Zhao felt a surge of jealousy.

Standing on a green stone, he gazed at the gradually dissipating black flames, his face, marked with a wound, showing extreme ferocity.

"You must have taken some damage dealing with the enraged black ape! I don't believe you can withstand the remaining two spirit techniques after resisting the enraged black ape's spirit technique!"

Thinking of the blood at the corner of Ye Wei's mouth, Lu Zhao stomped his foot on the green stone, and his body shot forward like an arrow, rushing towards the two half-buried primitive bone Dao artifacts.

"Huh? You want to try again? Looking for death!"

Ye Wei, who had just walked out of the black flames, saw Lu Zhao's rapidly approaching figure, his anger surging, and he rushed towards Lu Zhao with a determined look in his eyes.

Lu Zhao was, after all, a Seven-star Martial Artist Realm expert, much stronger than Ye Wei. If Lu Zhao decided to flee, Ye Wei would have to use a divine scroll to have any hope of catching him. However, Lu Zhao was a stubborn person. If he fled, the primitive bone Dao artifacts would all be taken by Ye Wei, and he was filled with resentment, determined to take a desperate chance to kill Ye Wei!

Lu Zhao and Ye Wei continued to approach each other.

Swish, swish, swish!

When Lu Zhao and Ye Wei were only ten meters apart, the black flame shadow finally dissipated completely. All of Lu Zhao's primordial energy converged on the three-inch sword in his hand, which once again brought up a series of whirlwinds, shooting towards Ye Wei. Meanwhile, Lu Zhao's figure lunged towards the remaining two half-buried primitive bone Dao artifacts.

"Do you think I'll give you a second chance?" Ye Wei did not hesitate and tore a medium-grade divine scroll.

Lu Zhao was, after all, a Seven-star Martial Artist Realm expert. Although he had consumed a lot of primordial energy in the previous battle, he had recovered some while Ye Wei was fighting the enraged black ape. Even with the remaining primordial energy, he could still activate the three-inch sword, which still had considerable power.

"Low-grade Mystic Technique—Green Wind Slash!" A cold light flashed in Ye Wei's eyes, and the moment he thought of it, a green wind blade shadow shot out.

The terrifying low-grade Mystic Technique crushed everything in its path, plowing deep furrows in the ground.

Bang!

The green wind blade shadow struck the three-inch sword, sending it flying, and continued forward, slicing towards the fleeing Lu Zhao.

"Almost there!" Lu Zhao reached for the blood-colored long knife, and it seemed he was about to pull it out when the massive green wind blade swept towards him.

Not good!

If he continued to reach for the blood-colored long knife, he would surely be cut in half by the green wind blade. Lu Zhao forcibly retracted his hand and quickly activated a defensive spirit technique, trying to dodge to the side.

But would Ye Wei give Lu Zhao such an opportunity?

Ye Wei coldly snorted and controlled the green wind blade to turn slightly to the side.

Bang!

The edge of the green wind blade struck Lu Zhao, instantly shattering his spirit-grade defensive spirit technique. Lu Zhao spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.

This low-grade Mystic Technique did not strike Lu Zhao directly. If it had, Lu Zhao would have been instantly crushed into pieces. However, he was now severely injured and had no fighting ability left.

Seeing the heavily injured and bleeding Lu Zhao, Ye Wei hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked towards him, always on guard against any last-ditch attack from Lu Zhao.

"Spare me! Give me a chance to live. As long as you don't kill me, I will offer you all my treasures. And I, I am the most outstanding young member of the Lu family. You can exchange me for 100,000 silver coins, no, 200,000 silver coins! My life is worth 200,000 silver coins!" Lu Zhao, seeing the divine scroll slowly unfolding in Ye Wei's hand, kept crawling backward, his face filled with fear, and he begged for mercy incoherently.

"If you kill me, my Lu family will definitely investigate to the end!"

"Do you think I will let you go?" Ye Wei said coldly and angrily. If not for his vigilance, he would have already died at Lu Zhao's hands. For a despicable person like Lu Zhao, even if Ye Wei was reluctant to kill, he had no reason to spare him.

"Die!" Lu Zhao's eyes were bloodshot, his face twisted in extreme ferocity. His entire body suddenly burst with power, and hundreds of black needles shot towards Ye Wei.

Ye Wei had been on guard against Lu Zhao and dodged to the side before Lu Zhao could make his move.

Taking advantage of Ye Wei's dodge, Lu Zhao suddenly burst into action, using his remaining strength to dash into the nearby forest, his figure disappearing into the trees.

"Damn it!" Ye Wei was about to use a spirit technique to chase Lu Zhao when a furious roar suddenly came from the forest, shaking the entire forest.

Ye Wei's face turned serious, and he stopped in his tracks. Was there some kind of primitive beast hiding in the forest?

At that moment, a piercing scream came from the forest, Lu Zhao's voice!

The scream was bone-chilling, and faintly, the sound of bones being crushed and the gnashing of teeth of a primitive beast could be heard.

Ye Wei took a deep breath, his heart racing. Lu Zhao had probably intruded on the territory of a primitive beast and was likely in grave danger!

He stopped and did not dare to chase after Lu Zhao anymore. If he provoked the primitive beast, it would be troublesome.
