Chapter 571: Dark Silkworm Soft Armor
Wu De knew that the killing intent left by the Innate Martial Artist was far beyond what he could contend with. Hearing this, he called out to Ye Wumei and the two of them retreated far away together.Fang Bai stood before the remains of the Innate Martial Artist, closely scrutinizing them, then slightly furrowed his brows and slowly stepped back a zhang away, concentrating mentally and accumulating energy, preparing to launch an attack to lure out the killing intent entrenched within the jade pendant.
Placed in his previous life, Innate Martial Artists were less than ants in Fang Bai’s eyes; he could erase thousands with just a breath.
However, now that Fang Bai had been reborn through soul possession and his strength had greatly waned, the Innate Martial Artist had become an existence he had to look up to. Therefore, Fang Bai was extremely cautious to avoid harm from the killing intent.
Fang Bai took out a sturdy Golden Essence Stone, gathered all his strength, and flung it toward the jade pendant worn around the neck of that Innate Martial Artist.
Whoosh—
The Golden Essence Stone, carrying a streak of True Yuan, emitted a sharp whistle, and with a speed much faster than a bullet, struck that jade pendant.
Three feet from the jade pendant, it flashed with light, and two trails of killing intent transformed into crossed beams of light that slashed outward.
Hiss—
With a soft sound, the incredibly sturdy Golden Essence Stone, like a block of tofu, was cut into four pieces by the intersecting beams and fell to the ground.
"Hiss..."
Seeing the Golden Essence Stone, firm as steel, easily cleaved by the two beams of killing intent, Wu De couldn’t help but suck in a cool breath. If Fang Bai had not warned him earlier, then the one slashed apart by the killing intent would not have been the Golden Essence Stone, but himself.
Ye Wumei’s pretty face also turned pale, her beautiful eyes wide, and her mouth forming an "O" shape.
Whoosh—
Whoosh—
Whoosh—
...
Fang Bai kept attacking, using Essence Stones to provoke the killing intent of the jade pendant.
With Fang Bai’s current level of cultivation, he could only infuse three trails of killing intent into a jade artifact, yet the Innate Martial Artist in front of him had infused dozens of trails into the pendant. It took a whole thirty Essence Stones for Fang Bai to finally exhaust all the killing intent within the jade pendant.
This showed how formidable the strength of the Innate Martial Artist was.
Crack—
When Fang Bai’s thirty-first Essence Stone flew out, he no longer faced retaliation from the killing intent. The Essence Stone struck the jade pendant at high speed, and with a crisp sound, it shattered into slag.
"Bravo!"
Wu De and Ye Wumei applauded and cheered, rushing over to Fang Bai’s side.
"My apologies!"
Fang Bai bowed his fists in respect toward the remains of the Martial Artist, then stepped forward cautiously, carefully removing the vest-like Dark Silkworm Soft Armor.
The Dark Silkworm Soft Armor emitted a glossy sheen, was light and soft as cotton, smooth as silk, and felt excellent in hand. Despite enduring for hundreds of years, it was still spotless—a rare find indeed.
"This Dark Silkworm Soft Armor is a priceless treasure for a martial artist. Wearing it, even the attacks of a Heaven Level Martial Artist can be defended against—it can save a life several times over! Brother Fang, if you’re willing to let me have the Dark Silkworm Soft Armor, I’m willing to offer twenty billion... No, forty billion!"
Wu De said with a hehe chuckle.
For Wu De, who was obsessed with the "great cause of tomb robbing" and dedicated to pursuing the peak of Martial Dao, money was a worldly possession, almost as trivial as soil. His Spatial Ring was filled with a small mountain of jewelry and jade artifacts, each worth a city’s ransom. If all were to be sold, their value would definitely exceed a hundred billion.
"Go away! Not for sale even for a hundred billion! Do I look like someone who’s short on cash?"
Fang Bai tapped Wu De, saying, "With your size, even if you lost sixty pounds, you still couldn’t fit into it. Giving this Dark Silkworm Soft Armor to you would be a total waste!"o cover them, forming a mound about a yard high.
"Hundreds of Essence Stones, dozens of Spiritual Medicines gone!"
Seeing Fang Bai waste Essence Stones and elixirs on a dead person, Wu De couldn’t help but feel the pinch.
Fang Bai moved a large stone in front of the mound, channeled strength through his fingertips, and inscribed "Tomb of the Nameless Martial Artist" on the rock.
