“The minds of all the NPCs here have all been injured by ‘Lion’s Roar’. Now, they’re starting to attack the players like maniacs.” Yin Bukui executed his Wudang sword skills as he fought with a crazy disciple from the Divine Fist Sect. He analyzed. “They are all level 20 monsters. They attack based on their instinct. The only troublesome matter is that they have high health. They’re not easy to deal with. But this is a good chance to increase our EXP.”

When he noticed that Ye Weiming was only watching at the side, Yin Bukui laughed and said, “Brother Ye, why aren’t you attacking them? Are you planning on gaining EXP by doing nothing?”

Ye Weiming was too lazy to bother about him. He turned and shouted at everyone, “Offering a high price for swords! If anyone has extra swords, please contact me!”

Yin Bukui was enlightened. This fellow forced Xie Xun to use his true power just now which caused his sword to be broken by Xie Xun’s fist. He had no weapons now so he couldn’t kill the monsters.

He remembered what he said and realized that his previous words seemed to be mocking Ye Weiming. Realizing his blunder, Yin Bukui decided to shut his mouth and focused on fighting the human monster in front of him. If you looked at his current expression, he was even more serious then when he accepted Xie Xun’s challenge.

“Hey, brother. We meet again.” Followed by a crisp laughter, the fat player wearing the Mount Hua Sect uniform could be seen walking towards Ye Weiming. He was the man who promoted his entertainment items to them when they had just arrived on the island.

The fat player evaded a few small monsters in front of him and came in front of Ye Weiming. He sent Ye Weiming a friend request. After Ye Weiming accepted it, he immediately placed a sword in the trading column. He seemed very familiar with this action.

Steel sword: A sword made from steel. More powerful than a normal iron sword. Attack +20.

Ye Weiming looked at the attributes. The difference between this and his Dragon Spring Sword was huge. But, he could still use it.

“How much does this cost?”

“An honest price. 1 Gold.”

“1 Gold!” Ye Weiming was furious. “This kind of cheap product only costs 20 silver in the weapons stall in the city. You raised the price by five times!”

Jiao Wolf smiled. “I’ve already explained myself a while ago. This is Mount Wangpan. You will not be able to find any such stalls here. 1 Gold for your precious one hour to gain EXP. You can earn it back in that one hour, right?”

“You’re so unscrupulous!”

“That’s right!” Following the voice, a man donning in full black clothing came over from the other side. “I received a good sword for a mission I had just completed. We can look at the item first before discussing the price.”

Ding! Player Bury Moon requests to be your friend.

Ye Weiming accepted the player’s friend request without much thought. Then the player sent a personal message as well as a link for an item.

Green Bamboo Sword (Gold): Created using the poison mystic techniques of the Miao boundary. Attack +150, Movement +5, Poison attribute damage +5.

This was actually a gold weapon! It was a poisonous sword that had additional poison attributes too!

Mind you, in ‘Eternal Justice’, there were no restrictions on the level of items a player could carry. For instance, the Zhuge Celestial Bow. If you were able to get it, you could use the treasure item to protect yourself even if you’re just a newbie.

Because of this, good weapons were extremely hard to get. Ye Weiming killed two big bosses, Chou Ba and Chen Ming, but the best items they dropped were just blue items. The items were quite ordinary too. Their quality couldn’t be compared to the Dragon Spring Sword the Divine Constable Bureau gave him for free.

Based on the attributes of this Green Bamboo Sword, Ye Weiming believed that it would be a worthwhile item for quite a period of time. But he didn’t know how much exactly it was worth.

Ye Weiming was really enticed by the attributes of this sword. “How much are you selling this for?”

“50 Gold.”

50 Gold was a reasonable price. It wasn’t expensive but it wasn’t cheap either. If you threw it into the auction prepared by the system, the final bidding price should be around 50 Gold too. It would be higher or lower depending on your luck.

There was no way to deposit money into the game so there were no stupid yet wealthy people in this game.

The price was fine but the problem was, Ye Weiming couldn’t afford it.

“Can I use items to exchange for it?”

Bury Moon smiled calmly. “That will depend on what you have.”

“Wait for a moment.”

As he spoke, Ye Weiming looked through his bag to see if there was anything worth the price of the sword. However, he was greatly disappointed.

‘Hunyuan Scripture’ was definitely enough to exchange for the sword. Its worth probably exceeded the Green Bamboo Sword, but Ye Weiming couldn’t possibly use it to exchange for an item. As for the other items he had, they weren’t worth much. His items, scriptures, and concealed weapons only add up to around 10 Gold in total. Including all the money he had, he could barely get half of the 50 Gold the player asked for.

He shook his head in regret. Just as he wanted to tell the other player that he had no fate with the sword, he felt his throat tightening. Bury Moon took the chance when he was inspecting his bag to move behind Ye Weiming. He curled his fingers into a claw and grabbed Ye Weiming’s right shoulder and throat.

Ye Weiming was shocked. “What are you doing?”

“I’m trying to kill you so that you will drop items.” Bury Moon smiled. Then he lowered his voice and whispered into Ye Weiming’s ear, “You have passed Xie Xun’s challenge and got his reward, right? Now your reward is mine.”

As he was speaking, he exerted strength on his right hand which was grabbing Ye Weiming’s throat. The critical hit directly took away 231 points of health from Ye Weiming. As for his left hand which was on Ye Weiming’s right shoulder, he maintained the strength there. That way, whether he was causing any damage or not, he would still be able to control Ye Weiming’s body.

This was the advantage of claw techniques like the Eagle Claw. At this moment, Ye Weiming wasn’t able to feel his arm at all. He had only practiced ‘Sword of the Yue Maiden’ before, so 70% of his combat ability depended on his right arm. He couldn’t retaliate at all.

Bury Moon succeeded in his first attack and raised his right hand to attack Ye Weiming’s throat again. However, there was nothing Ye Weiming could do. He could only watch as the Bury Moon’s hand got closer and closer to his throat.

Suddenly, Bury Moon felt an unprecedented sense of danger coming from Ye Weiming’s body. A chill went down his spine.

He was frightened which caused him to instinctively release his left hand that was grabbing Ye Weiming’s right shoulder. He retreated a few meters back!

However, this sense of fear came and left quickly. The moment he landed on the ground, it disappeared. Ye Weiming tapped his toes on the ground and moved back too. The distance he retreated was much further than the distance Bury Moon moved.

This was because Ye Weiming’s movement technique was more powerful than Bury Moon’s!

As the distance between them increased, Ye Weiming hurriedly threw a pill into his mouth to replenish his health. However, he didn’t run away. That was because…

“Bastard! How dare you attack my friend!” Yin Bukui raised his sword and started attacking Bury Moon as he shouted angrily.

Ye Weiming was slightly touched when he saw this scene.

Yin Bukui had a good character. It seemed he was worth making friends with.

However, character and ability weren’t the same thing. Although he was a fan of the original novel, Yin Bukui wasn’t able to turn his knowledge into his ability. The moment they started fighting, he was suppressed by his opponent almost immediately. Within ten moves, he got scratched by his opponent’s claw three times and his health dropped by one-third. As for his sword, it didn’t even manage to nick the corners of Bury Moon’s clothes.

Yin Bukui felt his head hurting when he was starting to lose ground.

Maybe he shouldn’t have stepped out to be a hero. After all, Brother Ye’s lightness kung fu was powerful enough to save himself.

Just as he was thinking of a way out, he felt a weight being lifted off his body. Ye Weiming had rushed over from behind and hugged his legs. He carried Yin Bukui on his shoulder and ran away without turning back.

‘Don’t be afraid, fight face on’. This saying was bullshit.

The only offensive skill Ye Weiming knew currently was sword skill. Without a sword, how was he supposed to fight?!
