Chapter 425
Lu Sheng didn't make any other moves . Instead, he stared at Xu Qi, whose breathing had become faint, and said coldly, "You lost . "
Though he had lost all means of resistance, Lu Sheng still didn't have a good way to kill him . The two Divine Lords standing nearby were witnesses . If he dared to strike the killing blow, those two would definitely report to the Thousand Sun Sect or the Great Yin Capital .
Xu Qi clenched his teeth, his eyes cold . "What do you really want!?"
"Give up the Tian'er Blade," Lu Sheng said readily . "Aside from that, I was tracking a wanted criminal, yet you suddenly showed up and saved him . On top of that, you even schemed to murder me to cover up the fact—"
"Stop! I will make it up!" Xu Qi interrupted him .
In reality, even if Jing Hong wasn't a suspect, he was still a wanted criminal . Though what Xu Qi did was morally correct, it was considered harboring a fugitive according to Great Yin laws .
"I want that spear of yours! Then I want the Tian'er Blade and two more Golden Leaf grade Divine Weapons!" Lu Sheng listed his price straightforwardly .
Xu Qi was part of the Jing Family and a Divine Lord belonging to the inner circle of one of the three major families, and as such must have accumulated great wealth . Though he couldn't kill him, blackmailing him for a big sum was definitely possible .
"The spear is not an option!" Xu Qi refused without any hesitation . That was his birth Divine Weapon, not something he would ever part with . "I could give you four Golden Leaf grade and one Jade Star grade . That is all I have; accept if you will, kill me otherwise . Your choice!"
He was quite resolute, and acted as if Lu Sheng's choice didn't concern him at all . Both knew Lu Sheng wouldn't kill, but it was easy for him to do something that would make recovery very, very hard .
Even for Divine Lords, there were complex wounds that would take forever to heal . Several hundred years were within reason .
Lu Sheng weighed his options .
"Deal . "
Xu Qi let out a cold humph, and threw out five specks of light . That was a Divine Weapon compression technique—each of the five specks of light stored a true Divine Weapon within .
Four of them were Golden Leaf grade, and one was Jade Star grade .
Lu Sheng scanned it with his spirit, and instantly found out what items were inside .
Three blades, one wheel, one spear . Their aura and wavelength matched Xu Qi's promise . The Tian'er Blade was among the three blades, seemingly not special at all .
"Goodbye!" He took the specks, turned, and flew into the distance .
It was clear that the Tian'er Blade, although precious, was nothing special for Xu Qi . Even Lu Sheng didn't understand what use Xu Qi would have for it .
But at least the mission was finally complete . It was a pity he wasn't able to get the Divine Intellect grade spear, but he guessed that it was probably a gift from the Jing Family . If he actually got it, there would be a lot of trouble to follow . . .
With Divine Weapons in hand, he hurriedly returned to Nanli City, and met up with Duanmu Wan, who was waiting near the restaurant they stayed at .
Duanmu Wan was speaking with the girl before . She was very friendly, and by the time Lu Sheng got back, she and Duanmu Wan were calling each other sister .
"Master is back!" Duanmu Wan hurriedly stood up, and stood in the middle of the courtyard as she sensed Lu Sheng's aura from afar .
The girl Mu Jueqing's eyes also brightened, and followed behind . There was another middle-aged man in a red robe, who had a mature and calm air about him, there as well .
"Whoosh!"
Lu Sheng landed straight in the middle of the courtyard with a short breeze, then dissipated the golden light that surrounded him .
"You must be the esteemed Prefectural Sect Master Lu Sheng? I am Mu Donghe . Thank you for taking care of my daughter, this is a little gift that I hope you would accept . "
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and a servant instantly stepped forward with a golden red plate filled with silver shards .
They were actually all Divine Weapon shards .
"From the Mu Family? Keep the gift, I still have things I must take care of . " Lu Sheng didn't want to be involved with the three major families . He shot out a golden ray of light, which instantly surrounded Duanmu Wan, and left with her .
Both shot up into the sky, and flew toward the direction of Autumn Moon County .
He had accomplished his goal, which was to benchmark his actual power . If he unleashed his full power, he could be at the peak echelon of the Jade Star tier .
After all, Xu Qi was at that level and he barely won, which was quite indicative of his power .
That golden feathers made from the Eight-Headed Golden Flame were even more powerful . Even though Lu Sheng didn't know if they reached Divine Intellect level or not, he was 80% sure that the feathers could have blocked most of Xu Qi's attacks easily .
But the feathers were consumables, and thus very hard to come by . He only got them because he encountered the Eight-Headed Griffon by accident last time .
Lu Sheng also understood that he was extremely lucky to get something out of that encounter . Under normal circumstances, he would be grateful for surviving the horrifying pressure of the Eight-Headed Griffon without a scratch .
At least he found out how powerful the golden feathers were after this .
The other good news was that even though he didn't get any Divine Intellect grade Divine Weapon, he still got a total of five Divine Weapons . Aside from the Tian'er Blade, which he needed to submit, he still had four more he could take all for himself .
