His Martial Arts could also advance to Third Grade with external help, and he had hope of extending his lifespan by two hundred years.
Zong Sanping felt that killing this man outright was a bit of a waste.
Chu Xisheng’s hand pressed on the saber, and a cold murderous intent focused on Li Tiangong’s neck, with the formidable Three Phases Blade Intent remotely locking on Li Tiangong’s Primordial Spirit.
And at this moment, behind him.
Ji Qianqian and Bai Xiaozhao, among others, also had a chilling intent to kill, cold as ice.
Li Tiangong’s face twitched again, followed by a somewhat helpless turn around.
“Flag Leader Chu, think about it, would I be such a fool?
Even if I were to harm you, would I act on this Pingtian Ship?
This Zhu Kongming is clearly using the conflict between us as a stepping stone, masking his True Intent.
Flag Leader must not fall for his trick.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Xisheng sneered, “Maybe.
Zhu Kongming is dead.
Naturally, it’s as you say.
Qianqian, Little Zhao, take him down and dispose of him off the ship so as not to dirty Senior Brother Sanping’s deck.”
Li Tiangong’s complexion turned even paler.
Were they going to slaughter him?
As soon as he saw the two young girls behind Chu Xisheng transforming into fleeting shadows, one attacking from the left and one from the right, Li Tiangong’s heart sharply contracted.
Instead of halting, the one green and one blue streaks of light became even more ferocious in their approach.
Li Tiangong gritted his teeth hard, his form frantically sliding backward, speaking as quickly as he could, “I have a way to make the Golden Jade Marriage Sabers a real Fourth-grade Low Grade Magic Artifact.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows slightly, “Stop!”
Just as he spoke, Ji Qianqian’s saber stopped about three inches from Li Tiangong’s forehead.
The sharp tip of the saber emitted a light ‘zan’ sound.
This was the sound of Ji Qianqian’s Yan Ling Saber tearing through Li Tiangong’s Protective Outer Firmament.
And Bai Xiaozhao’s claw was only four inches away from Li Tiangong’s crown.
She could retract her attack with ease, instantly turning into a streak of white light.
Cold sweat once again broke out on Li Tiangong’s forehead.
This combined attack of man and demon, though not enough to kill him in one strike, could cause him severe damage.
Chu Xisheng watched Li Tiangong with a skeptical eye, “How would you elevate the sabers to Fourth Grade when they are already finished weapons?”
The Golden Jade Marriage Sabers in his possession had the power equivalent to Fourth-grade Magical Devices, but they were not truly of the Fourth Grade.
“I was short on money at the time and felt that a pair of Fifth Grade knives wasn’t enough to express my intentions, so I left myself a backup plan when I forged these knives,” said Li Tiangong with a pale face.
“It was originally intended as another surprise for her.”
The “her” he referred to was naturally the Thousand Leaves Fairy.
Li Tiangong just didn’t expect that the Thousand Leaves Fairy would sell the tokens of their affection that he had gifted her.
Chu Xisheng’s expression flickered slightly, but his face remained unperturbed.
“Interesting, but just this alone isn’t enough to spare your life.
You promised Zhu Kongming that you would forge a Third-grade treasure sword to take my life, and now you’re treating me with such disrespect?”
“I don’t have the money to forge a Third-grade treasure sword for him.
I, too, have been framed by him—”
Li Tiangong’s voice suddenly rose several pitches, his heart wishing he could flay Zhu Kongming and consume his flesh and blood.
However, he then heard a sharp ‘clang’ as Chu Xisheng slightly drew the pair of Golden Jade Marriage Sabers.
Li Tiangong’s words came to a sudden halt, his demeanor turning even more helpless: “I can promise to forge three weapons for you, with a tier not exceeding Fourth Grade, but you will have to provide the materials yourself.”
He then swiftly added, “I’ll also spread the word in Jianghu that we hit it off at first sight and turned foes into friends.”
Chu Xisheng let out a derisive laugh upon hearing this, mulling over how such a thing could be considered a condition?
After a moment of contemplation, he declared firmly, “Five!”
“Accepted!” Li Tiangong’s eyes showed a trace of joy as he agreed without hesitation.
Li Tiangong thought to himself that he was not losing out in the deal.
Fourth-grade Magical Devices and above all contained ‘Heavenly Dao Rhythm’ and even the ‘Heavenly Rules’.
Therefore, gathering all the materials for a single Fourth-grade Magical Device was no simple task.
Given the current cultivation of Chu Xisheng and his group, they were far from reaching the level where they could hunt Fourth-grade Giant Spirits or demon beasts;,nor did the young man have the power to delve into the mines and Secret Realms that were at a Fourth-tier level to obtain materials.
So, the process of Artifact Refining could take who knows how many years and months?
Even if Chu Xisheng did manage to procure the materials, Li Tiangong could consider it as practice to hone his Artifact Refining skills.
After all, forging a Fourth-grade Magical Device typically took two to three months.
Most Artifact Masters could only dream of getting their hands on a set of Fourth-tier Magic Artifact Materials for practice.
However, the next moment, Chu Xisheng’s words plunged Li Tiangong into darkness.
“Plus an additional 500,000 taels of Demon Silver to calm my nerves, and our grudge can be settled.
Otherwise, prepare yourself to sink in the river.”
Li Tiangong’s face turned white as he wondered where he would find 500,000 taels of Demon Silver.
In the end, Chu Xisheng scrounged up nearly seventeen thousand taels of Demon Silver from Li Tiangong, along with various Magic Artifact Materials worth about two hundred thousand taels.
Li Tiangong claimed he had no more possessions, nothing to his name.
The talk about helping his ‘Golden Jade Marriage Sabers’ attain the Fourth Grade was nothing more than empty words.
Li Tiangong could only provide a list of the various materials.
Only when Chu Xisheng collected these precious materials on his own could he help elevate the ‘Golden Jade Marriage Sabers’ in tier.
