In a warehouse at the Martial Arts Department (MAD).
Three Waters Wei was lying on the cold floorboards, his body covered with a white cloth.
"He was already on the verge of death when he was sent here. I've examined him. His internal organs and meridians were all shattered by a domineering palm force, and he was also crushed by a Wuling Hongguang. He was unconscious. We wanted to interrogate him through hypnosis after a simple treatment, but he was met with intense resistance from his subconscious mind …"
Jiang He sighed.
Wasn't it too easy for him to die?
Many of the tortures he had come up with were not used.
Then, an idea occurred to him, and he asked, "Chief Duan, could you give me the corpse?"
"What do you want the corpse for?"
Duan Tianhe was very puzzled, but nodded nonetheless. "You killed Three Waters Wei in the first place. I'll have someone deliver the corpse to you later."
Meanwhile, the downpour outside had lessened considerably, but it was still raining. The autumn rains in Xibei usually lasted for a long time, and it was normal for it to continue for eight to ten days if the weather was not on its side.
Jiang He looked out the window and suddenly said, "By the way, did the person on the phone say that they're waiting in the east? East … could it be the Ningdong Mines? "
"Very likely!"
Duan Tianhe mused to himself. "The Ningdong Mines is now uninhabited. Moreover, the various factories and mines are complicated, and it's next to a chain of mountains. It's an excellent hiding place for the Sky Demon Cultists."
"With two grandmasters hiding there, it would be very difficult to wipe them out even with the military!"
He glanced at Jiang He and saw killing intent flashing in Jiang He's eyes, and quickly said, "Jiang He, the Tranquil Heavenly General is a rank-seven grandmaster with overwhelming power. He cultivates Frost True Qi and is very difficult to handle, and now that he has the Earth Demon Heavenly General's help, you mustn't take the risk."
"Am I that stupid?"
Jiang He was a little speechless. "I don't have the power to fight a rank-seven grandmaster just yet, so I'm not foolishly throwing my life away."
At the very least …
He would only consider it after he planted a combat blade and a blade technique and improved his ability.
Duan Tianhe didn't know what he was thinking.
Duan Tianhe merely assumed that Jiang He had heeded his advice, and said, "The situation at the Ningdong Mines is complicated. Both the Tranquil Heavenly General and the Earth Demon Heavenly General are grandmasters, and average martial artists and Awakened would never be able to handle them. When things settle down at Mount Dadong, I would ask the one watching over Mount Dadong to kill the Tranquil Heavenly General and the Earth Demon Heavenly General."
"How long will it take for the situation at Dong Mountain to stabilize?"
"Within a month."
One month?
The corner of Jiang He's mouth twitched. After waiting for so long, it was already too late. There was no telling when the Tranquil Heavenly General and the Earth Demon Heavenly General would suddenly lose their minds and assassinate him. Was he going to have to live in fear and trepidation every day for a month, unable to sleep soundly?
He walked out of the warehouse and returned to Duan Tianhe's office.
Taking a seat on the sofa, Jiang He stared at Pudgy Jiang for a few seconds before exclaiming in surprise, "Old Jiang … why are you getting fatter again?"
He hadn't noticed before, and only realized now.
Pudgy Jiang had slimmed down and beautified himself with his Mighty Dragon Shows Remorse, and though he did not recover as dramatically as before, he had put on a whole circle in just four days.
Pudgy Jiang laughed out loud. "Isn't it because Old Duan's food is too good? I didn't pay attention for a few days, and I've gotten fatter. "
Beside him, Duan Tianhe could not help saying, "Don't listen to Pudgy Jiang's nonsense. Even a pig wouldn't gain that much weight in a few days. His cultivation method is special, and putting on weight is a special state that could save his life during critical moments."
"I see."
Jiang He appeared thoughtful and muttered, "It's not much different from a bear that accumulates thick fat inside its body. Still, bears do it to survive the winter, while Chief Jiang does it as a special protection measure."
Jiang He was unconcerned even as he glanced at Pudgy Jiang's darkening face, and smiled. "Chief Jiang, you might as well cultivate a protective technique. Look at me …"
Ooom!
The silhouette of a golden bell appeared over Jiang He's body, and he struck it with his hand, causing it to ring loudly as he said, "This protective technique of mine is cool and powerful. Isn't it too ugly for you to eat up to three hundred catties like that?"
Pudgy Jiang's face darkened even further.
Duan Tianhe, on the other hand, was holding back his laughter until his face was red.
Jiang He laughed out loud.
Pudgy Jiang had no shortage of insults last time, and now, he was finally getting his revenge.
Soon, Jiang He turned serious and said, "Chief Duan, I actually came here today to ask for your help … do you know any master weaponsmith?"
"You want to forge weapons?"
Duan Tianhe smiled. "We do have an Awakened who could forge weapons at the MAD. He was a blacksmith before and ended up awakening superpowers, but his awakened grade is too low, and he can't forge A-grade or S-grade alloy weapons for now."
"Oh?"
Jiang He's eyes lit up and he said, "It doesn't have to be A-grade or S-grade. Just one will do."
A-grade alloy weapons cost millions, while S-grade ones were ten times that. With that kind of money, he could play with young models until the end of time. Wouldn't that be great?
He was just forging a 'seed' anyway, and he did not have to ask for too much.
Soon, Jiang He met the blacksmith, who was an old man with a simple appearance.
He was hunched over and had a large black hammer hanging over his hip. When he heard that Jiang He wanted to forge a weapon, he spoke in a Xibei dialect, "You want to make a Satsui? A blade or a sword? "
"Uncle, I want to forge a combat blade."
Jiang He whipped out his phone, which contained a picture he had carefully picked out from the internet. It was a dark-golden dragon-slaying saber with faint patterns on its blade and a dragon's head on its hilt, making it very imposing and imposing.
The old man studied Jiang He's phone for half a day before saying, "No problem. I guarantee it'll be identical to yours, but my abilities are limited and I can only forge B-grade alloy at best."
"How long would it take to forge such a weapon?"
The old man thought about it and held up three fingers.
Jiang He frowned and said, "Three months? That's too long. I can't wait that long, or I could just forge something else. "
The old man glared and barked, "You coward, who are you looking down on? I'll just need three hours! "
Beside him, Duan Tianhe ordered someone to fetch some B-grade alloy metal. The old man beckoned with his hand, and the hammer at his hip flew up. A searing energy surged out of his crude hand, and the black hammer promptly burst into blazing flames.
He then placed the hammer over the pile of B-grade alloy metal, which softened and melted in just a dozen minutes.
Jiang He gaped and muttered, "This old coward is really impressive!"
