Chapter 518: Spatial Weapon

“What? There’s a rank 4 martial arts technique out there?!”

Coincidentally, the moment Xia Fei stepped out from the cave, the two Law Warriors, who had been tasked to keep an eye on him, failed to notice him leave as they discussed something while hiding behind a huge rock.

“Yup! Right now, everyone in the collection reservoir has all gathered there, ready to fight one another over it. My cousin told me that through this signal device,” said the other warrior.

“A rank 4 martial arts technique is extraordinary, and it’s been many years since one appeared here in the collection reservoir. Whoever ends up getting hold of it is going to be rich!”

“Of course. Even if one can’t cultivate it themselves, they can always sell it to higher-level warriors. Even those people looking to promote and become Law Sovereigns may not have rank 4 martial arts techniques, and there’s no guarantee of getting one even if someone pays tens of thousands of grade 2 Origin Crystals for it.”

The other man sighed in vexation. “We’ve been ordered to keep watch over Xia Fei, so I’m afraid that we won’t have any chance of getting a crack at it. We can’t leave as long as he remains inside, after all.”

“He’s got a pile of high-rank martial arts techniques, too, so he can hide in that cave and wait it out till the reservoir closes before safely leaving. Anyone else in his shoes won’t leave so easily.”

The two men blamed Xia Fei incessantly, but in reality, neither of them would be qualified to compete for the rank 4 martial arts technique even if they were given the chance to do so. After all, they were made to stay behind precisely because of their low cultivation. The two of them were no better than fools talking in their sleep.

Xia Fei was standing on that huge rock beside them. Due to Breath Control, neither man discovered that Xia Fei had been listening intently to their conversation.

*Whoosh!*

Jumping down, his Dragonscale Hectoslasher appeared in its dual blade form. He pressed either side against the two warriors’ throats. He had closed in on them without making any sound using assassination moves found in Crafty Approach.

“What were you guys saying about a rank 4 martial arts technique?” Xia Fei asked coldly.

The two men were deeply frightened. Both exchanged glances, seemingly transmitting some sort of message between them!

*Shing!*

His sharp blade flashed past as Xia Fei took the life of one of the two. Pressing the edge ever closer on the other still alive, he left a light cut across the person’s throat.

“You’re next if you don’t speak!” Xia Fei gave a very simple order.

“A r-rank 4 martial arts technique has appeared in the collection reservoir this time. I-I have a cousin who’s in the fight for it right now,” stammered the other remaining warrior as he pulled out a signal device from his bosom, turning it on to display the coordinates

The signal device was a common communication tool in the Law Realm, the design far simpler than that of the Alliance’s microcomputer. It looked like a compass but was actually a tool that had multiple functions, in fact.

“You’re next even if you speak.”

With a swipe of his blade, Xia Fei casually slit the man’s throat as he took his device.

……

Sprinting off at high speed, Xia Fei headed to the direction the signal was indicating in search of that precious rank 4 martial arts technique.

Without a doubt, a high-ranking martial arts technique was extremely valuable, so Xia Fei had decided that he must acquire it.

As he got nearer to the sounds of slaughter, he noticed that the battlefield was located in a place that looked very much like a crater, where it was flat and hollow in the middle, and over a hundred warriors were in the center of the huge crater! Screams and death filled the surroundings.

Xia Fei looked from the outside but failed to see this rumored yellow energy orb anywhere. It had most likely been kept by someone.

“Yu Yuanguang, hand over that rank 4 martial arts technique!”

“That’s right! Hand it over and I’ll spare your life!”

The crowd of Law Warriors was in the middle of forcing a warrior with a trimmed beard to give up the orb. He did not look to be very old, though his beard was well grown for his age. Xia Fei recognized this person. He was the orchestrator of that encirclement to attack Xia Fei two days ago!

Grinding his teeth, Xia Fei could feel a slight pain on the right side of his mouth. It was an injury he sustained after being surrounded the last time.

Xia Fei had never met this Yu Yuanguang before, yet the man took the lead in launching an encirclement on him for no reason, causing him to sustain plenty of injuries, so many so that he had to flee to the safety of the caves and only managed to stay alive after much effort. This was an umbrage that Xia Fei could not take lying down!
