This ability could also be stacked with Chu Xisheng’s own “Iron Revenge Mirror Armor.”
After reflecting 50 percent and then another 50 percent, it amounted to a total of seventy-five percent—this was almost equivalent to the effect of Chu Xisheng unleashing a Fifteenth Tier Vengeful Bloodline.
Although the rank of this Magic Artifact was only Fifth Grade, in Chu Xisheng’s hands, it wielded power no less than that of a Fourth-Grade Magical Device.
It was also extremely durable; ordinary Sixth Grade sword artifacts would find it very difficult to scratch it.
The drawback was that this “Mirror Sky Armor” did not possess the self-healing ability of the previous “Luan Blood Inner Armor,” making it difficult to maintain.
Fortunately, the Artifact Master had additionally crafted five hundred armor plates to go with it.
If the “Mirror Sky Armor” was damaged, the owner of the Magic Artifact could repair and replace it himself.
Its price was also very high, amounting to 450,000 demon silver coins—this was enough to buy a slightly inferior Fourth-Grade treasure armor!
Chu Xisheng looked at the Store Manager again, his eyes full of meaning.
His initial request was clearly for less than 350,000, yet the Store Manager had included this armor in the list.
And it was related to Vengeance!
His expression became conflicradictory again.
Chu Xisheng’s first priority was a blade.
Without a blade, what use was the armor to him?
The Gentle Wind Thunder Blade had long been unfit for use.
Although his Divine Thunder Truth Piercing Finger was also well-cultivated, it wasn’t his main focus in martial arts.
Chu Xisheng pondered for a long while, then with a sheepish laugh, thickened his face and asked, “I am interested in this ‘Mirror Sky Armor’; may I know if I can buy it on credit?”
The Store Manager’s expression darkened slightly as he shook his head and said, “Our Baqi Pavilion has no rule allowing purchase on credit.
If the Flag Leader is short of cash, you may step next door to the bank to borrow.”
Actually, Chu Xisheng’s ability to repay the amount should not be a problem; the small canal under his name was making a fortune every day.
But the rules of Baqi Pavilion could not be broken.
“Besides, I heard that Shangguan Shen Hao’s ‘Heavenly Snake Sword’ has fallen into the hands of the Flag Leader?
If worst comes to worst, this item can be mortgaged for 220,000 demon silver.”
But Chu Xisheng thought, I wouldn’t be so foolish.
With the quality of the ‘Heavenly Snake Sword,’ it could easily sell for 350,000 to 500,000.
That was a weapon with power nearing that of a Fourth-Grade artifact!
Chu Xisheng preferred to use this item to re-hire a powerful Fifth-Grade master to serve the Iron Banner Gang.
Chu Xisheng shook his head, and with a heavy heart, he got up, “Then never mind.
I thank the Store Manager for your efforts these past days, but unfortunately, your Baqi Pavilion does not have the item I desire.”
Though the Mirror Sky Armor was excellent, his financial dilemma made it unattainable.
He could only look at the other two merchants in the Ancient Market to see if there was anything else that caught his eye.
The Store Manager, however, raised his eyebrows, “Hold on!”
He smiled at Chu Xisheng, “It’s evident that the Flag Leader is quite satisfied with this ‘Mirror Sky Armor.’ You are giving up on it presumably because after buying this Magic Artifact, you won’t be able to afford a suitable blade, right?
I happen to have a pair of Fifth-Grade Twin Blades here, which together possess about seventy percent of the Divine Might of Governor Sikong Chan’s ‘Light Splitting Sword Box.’ These weapons are very affordable, priced at only 100,000 taels, and they suit the Flag Leader’s cultivation technique and Three-Phases Martial Intent.
However, their origins are dubious, carrying a small risk.
I wonder if the Flag Leader has the courage to take them?”
Chu Xisheng was immediately intrigued, “What kind of blades are they?
Governor Sikong Chan’s ‘Light Splitting Sword Box’ was a Fourth-Grade Magical Device!
Far superior to Shangguan Shen Hao’s ‘Heavenly Snake Sword’.
And such powerful twin blades were selling for only 100,000 taels?
The Store Manager smiled slightly and clapped his hands.
Moments later, three servants hurried in, each carrying a tray.
Two of the trays each held a long straight knife, and the third tray contained a pure black scabbard.
This scabbard was also a Magical Device, though it was unclear what material it was made from.
It was surrounded by swirling dark clouds, and its spiritual aura was no less formidable than the twin blades.
Chu Xisheng was particularly surprised by the blade on the far left.
This blade was pure white like jade—because it was made of jade material and thin as a cicada’s wing.
The other blade was dazzlingly golden, its gold body etched with black thunder patterns, overall heavy and domineering in appearance.
“The blade on the left is called ‘Jade Ruler Gold Standard,’ and the one on the right is ‘Golden Wind Jade Dew’; together, they are the Golden Jade Match.”
The Store Manager picked up the ‘Jade Ruler Gold Standard’ and swiped it effortlessly, instantly causing wind and thunder to surge, bringing a cold light across ten paces in front of him.
“Both blades possess the power of Wind and Thunder.
The jade blade has a Fifth-Grade Rank with unparalleled speed and sharpness, which allows you to achieve extreme sword speed, swift as a shadow.
While this golden blade possesses a Fifth-Grade Rank with unparalleled durability and toughness.
As long as the Flag Leader’s True Yuan is sufficient, even if you use it to counter a Third-Grade weapon, it wouldn’t suffer the slightest damage.”
Having said this, the Store Manager especially picked up the golden blade ‘Golden Wind Jade Dew’ and put all his strength into bending it harshly.
Being a Fifth-Grade master, he now exerted all his effort, managing to bend the long knife in half.
Yet, when the Store Manager released his grip, the golden blade trembled violently; it was highly elastic and indeed suffered no damage.
The Store Manager then moved to a test stone beside him, and with a full-force slash, accompanied by a clank, sparks flew, and a deep slash about half a foot deep appeared on the test stone while the golden blade remained undamaged, not even a scratch upon the blade.
