Chapter 204: First Clash

Chapter 204: The First Clash

Members of the Rhinest family blocked Li Wei's path.

Clad in noble attire, the pair bowed formally upon seeing Li Wei.

"Honored Mage, we wish to negotiate a trade; the Rhinest family is willing to purchase the treasures you acquired from the secret realm."

Li Wei was somewhat surprised.

Hearing their desire to trade, Li Wei's first thought was to consider what items he could sell.

It mattered little to whom he sold them; he did not need so many dragon-blood treasures anyway.

If the price offered by the Rhinest family was suitable, selling to them was not impossible.

Li Wei asked, "What do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Mend hurriedly said, "Dragon Blood Fruits; the Rhinest family is willing to pay three thousand gold coins for one."

Li Wei spread his hands and said, "Gone."

Urapp asked somewhat anxiously, "How are they gone?"

"I ate them."

"Three Dragon Blood Fruits, you ate them all?"

The two stared wide-eyed at Li Wei, faces filled with disbelief.

Li Wei nodded.

The two exchanged a glance, skepticism shining in their eyes.

They suspected Li Wei was simply unwilling to sell the Dragon Blood Fruits and deliberately claimed to have eaten them.

How could any normal person consume three Dragon Blood Fruits in a single breath?

Seeing this, a sliver of hope still lingered in their hearts.

Mend said, "If there are no Dragon Blood Fruits, dragon-blood treasures like Dragon Blood Grass or Dragon Scale Flowers will also suffice."

"Dragon Blood Grass, how much are you offering?"

Li Wei took out a stalk of Dragon Blood Grass to show him.

Urapp calmed down, looking at the Dragon Blood Grass in his hand, and said, "Let us examine the quality; if the quality is good, the price can be higher."

Li Wei handed the Dragon Blood Grass to him, unafraid of him snatching it.

Urapp held the Dragon Blood Grass, turning it over and over, examining it for a long while.

Li Wei grew impatient waiting, "Finished looking? What else is there to see?"

"The blood veins on the stem of the Dragon Blood Grass indicate its age; one vein equals ten years, this stalk is one hundred and twenty years old."

"Do not rush, what if you damaged the Dragon Blood Grass while harvesting it? We must see clearly, which benefits both you and us."

Mend said unhurriedly.

Li Wei looked at the two, furrowing his brow, sensing something was amiss.

After a moment's thought, he realized the two seemed to be stalling for time.

Li Wei clapped his hands and snatched back the Dragon Blood Grass.

"What are you doing?"

Urapp showed a look of surprise.

Li Wei glanced at the two, walked around them, and headed toward the secret realm exit without looking back.

Urapp wanted to say something, but Mend hurriedly stopped him.

"We have stalled for so long, the time is nearly up, do not act impulsively."

Urapp calmed down.

"Hmph, look how proud he is now; wait until Mage Tir arrives, and see how miserable he becomes."

Li Wei left, not hearing the conversation between the two.

Arriving at the secret realm exit, members of the Rhinest family stood at the doorway.

Seeing Li Wei approach, they instinctively blocked the exit.

Seeing this, Li Wei understood they harbored some conspiracy.

"Move aside."

A fireball materialized in Li Wei's hand.

If they did not move, he would not hesitate to hurl it at the crowd.

Seeing this situation, the members of the Rhinest family hesitated for a moment, then scattered aside.

Li Wei walked out of the secret realm.

The few exchanged glances, then followed behind Li Wei out of the secret realm.

At present, the greatest benefits within the secret realm had all been taken by Li Wei.

Naturally, they would not continue to remain inside the secret realm.

Only the mages who wished to study the secret realm remained here.

When Li Wei walked out of the secret realm, he was already prepared to deal with an attack.

James saw Li Wei walk out of the secret realm, his eyes shifting slightly.

He already knew what had happened inside the secret realm.

However, constrained by Li Wei's identity, he could not say anything.

He simply pretended to know nothing.

Li Wei scanned the surroundings, discovering that all the Rhinest family members were staring at him.

"Heh heh."

Li Wei strode boldly down the slope of Dragon Fall Hill.

Ignoring the gazes of the crowd.

"Wait a moment!"

The voice came from within the crowd of the Rhinest family. Li Wei did not look back, paying no heed whatsoever.

At this point, there was no need to deal with them diplomatically.

Seeing Li Wei completely ignore them, the members of the Rhinest family could not help but take action.

Whoosh!

An arrow flew shooting toward Li Wei.

When the arrow approached within twenty meters around Li Wei, his spiritual power captured its trajectory.

Stepping one step to the left, the arrow landed by his foot.

The archer who loosed the arrow froze, his expression tinged with surprise.

He had not expected Li Wei to dodge this shot.

The others, however, harbored no such complex thoughts.

They believed the marksman simply had not aimed at Li Wei, but at the ground near his feet, threatening him to halt.

Li Wei turned his head to glance at the archer.

The shadow beneath his feet writhed, stretching toward the distance.

Li Wei stopped walking.

The atmosphere in the arena instantly grew tense and stagnant.

Whoosh!

A strong wind swept from the sky, and a figure descended from above.

The members of the Rhinest family revealed looks of relief.

Tyr has arrived!

Li Wei looked up, yet there was no surprise or unexpectedness in his eyes.

Seeing how these people of the Rhinest family tried every method to block him.

He had guessed Tyr would come.

Otherwise, given the strength he had displayed within the secret realm.

The Rhinest family would not dare to clash with him head-on.

Yet they still chose to do this.

It indicated they had someone to rely on.

Li Wei needed not think much to know this reliance was Tyr.

Tyr saw the armored man on the ground from the air, his gaze calm like a storm waiting to break.

Whoosh!

Two cyan wind spirit wings behind Tyr flapped.

He descended slowly, the gale kicking up dust.

Everyone watched him.

Without blinking.

The center of attention for the entire field!

Tyr gazed at Li Wei, asking calmly, "Was it you who killed Lumis and Weeks?"

Li Wei did not speak.

Tyr did not want an answer either.

Before coming, the Rhinest family had already confessed everything to him.

The armored man possessed the incomparably precious Dragon Blood Fruit.

And the greatest treasure within the secret realm.

That treasure likely concerned the dragons.

It no longer mattered whether the armored man was the murderer.

Today, he must die!

Whoosh!

A fireball shot forth toward Tyr.

Everyone was dumbfounded, utterly shocked.

No one expected Li Wei would dare to initiate an attack against Tyr.

Tyr smiled.

"Very good, this way I shall have no qualms in acting."

Boom!

A wind wall blocked the fireball.

The storm converged, tearing everything apart.

A cluster of flames suddenly burst around Li Wei, the firelight obscuring his form.

"Thousand Fathom Storm!"

Tyr raised his staff, pointing it toward the midair.

Seeing him release the spell into the air, everyone showed looks of confusion.

Seeking enemies in the void?

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Countless wind blades swept across the midair, revealing a figure.

Boom boom boom!

The wind blades collided with the invisible armor, bursting apart into cyan light.

The sky-full of cyan light illuminated Li Wei's figure.

Only then did everyone discover in surprise, Li Wei had already flown into the sky.

Tyr looked at Li Wei, revealing a trace of surprise.

"What kind of flight spell is this?"

He had never seen it before.
