Chapter 440: Chapter 446: The person who dares to curse even the heavens! (Part 1)
Everyone looked at the Saint with puzzled faces, holding back their laughter at the awkward expression on his face.
Damn it, the two bastards, Yang Zhen and Scoundrel Cat, really knew how to set up a trap. Even if they were to sell off the Saint, they still wouldn’t be able to come up with ten billion magic crystals.
Just by looking at the awkward yet polite smile on the Saint’s face, it was evident that he must have been dying to strangle those two bastards, Yang Zhen and Scoundrel Cat!
Elder Qian chuckled as he looked at the Saint and said to Yang Zhen, “Young friend Yang, you’re being a bit too hard on the lad. Even though he is the chosen son of the Ke Clan, he can’t afford ten billion magic crystals.”
It wasn’t just the Saint, even if the whole Ke Clan tried to come up with it, they wouldn’t manage to muster ten billion magic crystals for some time.
Upon hearing Elder Qian’s words, the Saint let out an awkward laugh and gave Elder Qian a grateful look. But before he could speak, Yang Zhen looked uncomfortable and said, “In that case, I might have to sell it to that bastard, Scoundrel Cat. But honestly, I don’t want to sell it to a fellow who will just let the Iron Armor collect dust. I’d rather destroy the only Iron Armor in the world.”
With that said, Yang Zhen once again took out the Great Missing Sword and made a thunderous strike towards the box.
“Hold on!” The Saint halted Yang Zhen, gritting his teeth he said to Yang Zhen: “Alright, besides the ten billion crystals, how else do you plan to sell it? Can we trade something for it?”
Yang Zhen looked at the Saint with a weird expression, shook his head and said, “It seems the Saint really likes the Iron Armor. As a good friend, I should give it to you, however….”
Everyone nearly passed out hearing Yang Zhen’s words; he was planning to give something worth ten billion away to an enemy he’d been fighting to the death with earlier. It was absolutely unbelievable.
Fortunately, Yang Zhen added a ‘however’ at last, which killed the surprise and excitement on the Saint’s face. Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
“But after all, the Iron Armor is something that my good buddy Scoundrel Cat also likes. It wouldn’t be fair to him if I just gave it to you.”
Everyone wanted to smack their heads against the wall. Many turned away, trying to ignore Yang Zhen’s words, but their ears involuntarily perked up.
“Yang Zhen, can you just get this over with?” The Saint had enough of being left in suspense, he asked bluntly.
“Of course!” Yang Zhen was waiting for the Saint to say those words. He grinned, “I think the Shangyan Ancient Scripture of your Ke Clan isn’t bad, and the Fei Tianhu crafted by your clan is pretty decent too. If you give me the Shangyan Ancient Scripture and a Fei Tianhu, I’d reluctantly give you the Iron Armor. How about it?”
Upon hearing Yang Zhen finish, everyone on the scene was stunned, looking at Yang Zhen as if he was a madman.
“Damn… Yang Zhen sure knows how to make outrageous demands. He’s asking for everything!”
“One Fei Tianhu is already worth a fortune. It’s something money can’t necessarily buy, and Yang Zhen just asked for it. That would be fine since the Fei Tianhu is a bit inferior to the Iron Armor, but…”
“But this bastard Yang Zhen, is actually coveting the Shangyan Ancient Scripture of the Ke Clan. You should know that the Shangyan Ancient Scripture is second only to the Ancient Spirit Holy Scripture of the Ancient Spirit Clan. It’s a secret of the Ke clan, and many of them don’t even have the qualifications to cultivate it. Yang Zhen must be daydreaming, right?”
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen in horror, even Scoundrel Cat was dumbfounded.
“Damn, this guy sure knows how to make a hard bargain. Unless the Saint is a fool, why would he give him the Shangyan Ancient Scripture? Oh yeah, the Shangyan Ancient Scripture, rumored to be a Cultivation Method created by Emperor Shangyan himself, no one from the Ke Clan has ever reached its zenith. It’s indeed a good Cultivation Method, quite interesting.”
In the crowd, Saint Lin stared at Yang Zhen, his eyes wide and mouth gaping in disbelief. He asked in a shocked voice, “Have you lost your mind? You actually dared to ask for the Shangyan Ancient Scripture. Do you have any idea how precious it is?”
Yang Zhen sneered, said, “Whether this Sao Saint lost his mind or not, you, Saint Lin, surely know it well. The Shangyan Ancient Scripture is very precious, but isn’t the unique armor of this Sao Saint not less valuable?”
Without waiting for Saint Lin to speak, he turned to Elder Qian and said, “Hey there, Elder, tell me. If an ancient tribe somehow copies this armor and mass produces it for everyone, wouldn’t they be able to dominate the continent?”
Elder Qian’s face changed slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Yang Zhen waved his hand to interrupt him. “The Sao Saint just solemnly vowed never to craft this kind of steel armor again. If any of you are still unclear, I’ll repeat my vow. If I make ‘this kind of’ steel armor again, let the Sao Saint face lightning strikes every day!”
Boom!
A thunderous noise resounded. The Sao Saint had made two ‘deadly vows’, even heaven was angered. Wild dragon-like roars, brilliant lights of the world, and immense heavenly power rushed toward them, startling everyone.
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, Saint Lin’s breathing became labored. He fixed his eyes on the square box in front of Yang Zhen.
Since Yang Zhen had taken his oath, this set of steel armor became the only one of its kind in the world. There was no possibility of there being any others.
If the Ke Clan truly deciphered Yang Zhen’s method of crafting, and received a set of steel armor, the Ke Clan would instantly surpass the Ancient Spirit Clan!
This thought was too difficult for Saint Lin to suppress. It was a great opportunity and merit that no one could ignore!
Seeing Elder Qian’s interest, Saint Lin couldn’t help himself. He glared at Yang Zhen and said, “Unless you swear on your life soul that if the Shangyan Ancient Scripture is leaked to any other creature by any means, you will fall forever into the cycle of reincarnation!”
Hiss—!
Everyone gasped, looking at Saint Lin in horror. No wonder Saint Lin didn’t outright refuse Yang Zhen. He must have seen a way to persuade the stubborn old men of the Ke Clan!
With this understanding, people realized that it wouldn’t be a huge loss if only Yang Zhen could cultivate the Shangyan Ancient Scripture, after all, Yang Zhen couldn’t leak the Shangyan Ancient Scripture by any means to any other creature. This meant that the Ke Clan didn’t need to worry about any repercussions!
In this world, who could ignore the oath of the soul?
No one!
All eyes turned to Yang Zhen. This matter might be without worries for the Ke Clan, but it added an unstable element for Yang Zhen. What if he inadvertently mentioned something about the Shangyan Ancient Scripture while sleeping, or was made by evildoers to remember it, or even had his body taken over? Would that not be a disaster for Yang Zhen?
Against the expectant and uncertain gazes of the crowd, Yang Zhen suddenly grinned, saying, “Why not? Listen carefully. I, Yang Zhen, if by any means, leak the ‘Shangyan Ancient Scripture of the Ke Clan’ to any other creature, my soul will be forever unrecoverable and I will fall into the cycle of reincarnation!”
Upon hearing such a vicious oath, casually declared by Yang Zhen, everyone’s faces changed dramatically, including Elder Qian and the Thousand-Spirit Saintess. The only one still smiling was Saint Lin.
The cheap cat stared at Yang Zhen in confusion, “Damn it, something isn’t right. This kid agreed too quickly—there must be something fishy. Oh shoot, he’s playing so hard with this vow stuff. He doesn’t fear to make such vicious oaths; he’s a man who dares to curse the heavens after all!”
