There’s a certain beauty that feels like it could slip and kill you.
Li Guanyi gazed at the light column before him and the Divine Weapon being nurtured within, feeling both shocked and overjoyed.
The new ability unlocked by the bronze tripod almost elevated his stealth and surprise attack capabilities to another level. For instance, during a surprise attack on Chen Yuyun, there was no need to burst out at full power. He could wait until the instant of hand-to-hand combat to call upon the Divine Weapon.
And stab him dead with one move.
Li Guanyi wielding the full power of the Divine Weapon Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd.
The destructive and lethal power of Li Guanyi in a bare-handed state was an entirely different level.
The existence of a Divine Weapon, even for a master with a Sword Dao realm high enough to condense Qi into a sword.
Having a Divine Weapon in hand versus not having one indeed makes a difference.
If Situ Deqing had been holding the Divine Weapon Chengying Sword, Li Guanyi’s move of unleashing the full power of Qilin Power, the Overlord’s Ultimate Skills, might not be able to slice him in one strike. After all, the Chengying Sword is still a Divine Weapon and wouldn’t be easily cleaved in half by the halberd in combat of this level.
But venturing out on a pitch-black rainy night with such a huge Battle Halberd on his back.
Probably wouldn’t take many steps before being stopped by government officials or the like.
A long Weapon is prohibited.
The Martial World heroes carry only swords or spears, at most, or sticks.
Why not use a Battle Halberd? Is it not liked?
Of course, it’s because all the countries are keeping watch.
When the countries are at their wits’ end, they usually do not need the advantages that long weapons offer.
When traveling the world in the future, he could carry the Divine Weapon without being discovered.
But where could the remaining Divine Weapons be found?
Li Guanyi looked at the few remaining pillars, feeling as if his wallet was crying out with a drained wail. Then, he glanced at the floating white jade steps, gritted his teeth, sped up with the "Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Step," and leaped.
Li Guanyi stepped onto the white jade staircase.
The white jade stairs dispersed.
The young man covered his forehead, opened his eyes, and found himself back in the Xue Family residence. He muttered that indeed, it was still unsteady, but he felt no irritability or frustration. He opened his hands and, accompanied by golden light, felt the weight as the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd fell into his grasp.
Then, with a reverse grip, the halberd disappeared without a trace.
Li Guanyi pondered that this could also transform into a technique of unexpectedness and surprise in Martial Arts.
For example, the Buddhist Kasaya Skill was similar.
It kept the opponent from knowing how and from where one would strike.
With the goal of achieving victory over the enemy.
In the end, Li Guanyi stowed away the Divine Weapon. After returning from the Seventh Prince’s banquet, he made a detour to the Xue Family to discuss matters with Elder Xue about the Western Regions commerce. This was no secret in the Capital of Chen Country, and both Chen Country and the Turkic were at peace, something Emperor Chen was pleased to see.
Li Guanyi handed over all the loot, including the hand crossbow, directly to Breaking Army.
Breaking Army accepted them with ease and said, "Lord, rest assured."
"These things you’ve collected, let me handle them."
The young man smiled warmly and handsomely, "It’ll be taken care of cleanly."
He discovered that Breaking Army was truly a jack-of-all-trades talent, who could do everything apart from not being very good in a fight.
Breaking Army then inquired about Li Guanyi’s height and shoulder width and other measurements. When Li Guanyi asked why, Breaking Army casually answered, "I asked the Seventh Prince for a gift on behalf of you, my Lord, but upon arrival here, I realized you are younger than I expected."
"This ’gift’ needs some simple modifications."
Breaking Army smiled and nodded. The standard set of General-grade Iron Futu armor he had brought was designed for a more standard size. Although Li Guanyi was strong enough to wear it, the Armor was still a bit too large for him and needed some adjustments.
The so-called General-grade Armor was made of materials that could channel Inner Qi.
It was not solely reliant on the physical defense of the Armor itself.
but was a type of Inner Qi amplifying gear, with traces within it left by primeval shamanistic sacrifices from the grassland. Relative to other armors, it wouldn’t be overly heavy. It wouldn’t cause prickly heat in the summer or turn to ice in the winter, and it was able to resist stabbing and blunt impact.
The Magician’s thunder and flames, the volley of Crossbow Arrows, all struggled to penetrate its defense.
This set of Armor, even for the currently prominent Seventh Prince on the grassland,
would be enough to make him twitch and feel pain for several days.
Breaking Army smiled and said, "When that time comes, you’ll understand the significance of this gift, Lord. I’ll allow this gift to protect you when I head to Ying Country." He glanced up, his violet pupils scanning the corner of the wall, but he didn’t see White Hair.
Breaking Army felt slightly regretful, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
A top-grade General’s Heavy Armor.
A Western Regions trade route.
Able to discuss the grand schemes of the world, navigate through complex politics; equally prepared to kill and clean up, acting decisively.
Before murder, prepare strategies, also creating time, Stargazing, predicting rain, post-murder management, disposing of loot, capable of all, encompassing all.
Advising my Lord in his quest for domination, handing a knife for my Lord to kill.
What will you use to fight me?
What will you use, to fight me!
Breaking Army’s lips curled into a slight smile, then he lifted his chin slightly, his hands behind his back; confident and composed, he left.
"He seems to be in a good mood,"
thought Li Guanyi, then prepared for the next day’s martial competition. His Breathing was calm, much like always. Early in the morning, he went to the site of the competition with Elder Xue. Today’s event was to engage with the public, and it was far more lively than the previous days.
