Splitting the Spoils
Yuhua displayed a completely different side, making Xia Fei even more confused. Just as Xia Fei's thoughts were running wild, something happened!
"I'll kill you all!"
Seeing his steward die, Jin Gu was filled with grief and indignation. He took out a black metal ball from his ring.
This ball looked like a grenade, its pitch-black surface flashing with light.
"Let's all die together!" Jin Gu shouted as he smashed the ball against the ground.
Xia Fei instinctively sensed danger and wanted to rush forward to stop Jin Gu!
"Hurry and come with me!" Yuhua grabbed Xia Fei, his eyes filled with shock.
"This is a Law Bomb! The weapon of destruction that the Jin Clan specializes in! "
* Bang! *
The moment he said this, the bomb exploded.
Space was rapidly shattering and collapsing!
How could a small bomb have such power? It could shatter space? Xia Fei was flabbergasted!
Yuhua grabbed Xia Fei with one hand while his other hand drew an arc in the air.
* Whoosh ~ *
The spatial gate was forcefully opened, and Yuhua, Xia Fei, Furball, and that meteor containing Darkness Alloy suddenly vanished.
* Splat! *
Yu Hua spat out a mouthful of blood.
He had already been exhausted from wrestling with the two Law Emperors, and then he had used Law energy to break through the Golden Bell Shroud's defense. Now that he had the power of the spatial bomb, all of this was a fatal blow!
…
When the sun reappeared, Xia Fei and Yuhua were in an unfamiliar valley. Besides Furball and that meteor containing Darkness Alloy, there was also Jin Shuimin's arm.
Yu Hua leaned against the mountain wall and panted heavily. He would spit out blood from time to time. This battle had clearly caused him quite a bit of damage.
Taking out a pill from his spatial ring and putting it in his mouth, Yuhua closed his eyes to rest, not saying a word as he focused on healing himself.
Xia Fei sat on the side. The power of the spatial bomb had left him fearful. If Yuhua had not used Law energy to block the shockwave, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
He was somewhat grateful to Yuhua, but Xia Fei was also somewhat uneasy.
Xia Fei could not see through Yuhua. On the surface, he looked like a typical profiteer, even remembering the small sum of money that Xia Fei owed him.
However, Yuhua was also a very arrogant Great Law Emperor with unfathomable martial arts, which was why he had displayed such a violent side to him. Xia Fei was very confused as to just what had caused Yuhua to behave so differently.
Xia Fei did not like people he could not see through, for it made him feel threatened.
He glanced at the nearby asteroid. Darkness Metal was of immense value, and with it right in front of him, Xia Fei could not help but be tempted. There was a sparkling spatial ring on Jin Shuimin's fragment. As a Law Emperor, the items in his possession could not be too shabby.
Yu Hua's breathing gradually stabilized, and his complexion gradually returned to normal.
Xia Fei suddenly had an idea. If he killed Yu Hua here, then both the Darkness Metal and Jin Shuimin's spatial ring would be his.
Yuhua was heavily injured, so this was Xia Fei's chance!
His gaze turned cold, but he quickly gave up on this idea.
Xia Fei was well aware of how high Yu Hua's cultivation was. He did not have the strength to fight a Law Emperor alone, so he would be taking a huge risk!
Besides, Xia Fei had no idea where he was. Even if he managed to kill Yu Hua, it would be very bad if he ended up trapped here.
Xia Fei sat cross-legged across from Yu Hua, took out a grade 3 Origin Crystal from his spatial ring, and began to cultivate the Law of Space. He was only a hair's breadth away from breaking into level 5, so Xia Fei would not let go of any chance to improve himself.
The Darkness Metal and that alluring spatial ring were right in front of him, but Xia Fei ignored them.
If Xia Fei had the cultivation of a Law Emperor, he would have tried to kill Yu Hua without hesitation and take all these treasures for himself.
But he would not do such a thing now, for the risk was simply too great. One thousand to ten thousand was still a matter of strength. If he had enough strength, the result would be completely different.
Yu Hua saw that Xia Fei was concentrating on his cultivation, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
'Pretty smart,' Yu Hua thought to himself.
…
Xia Fei soon entered a meditative state, the allure of the Darkness Metal swept away. He seemed to forget his own existence as he focused on cultivating the Law of Space.
The fifth pattern in his brain region was finally completed, and an indescribable sense of joy filled his heart.
Opening his eyes, he saw Yu Hua beaming at Xia Fei, his eyes filled with pleasant surprise.
That Darkness Metal and Jin Shuimin's spatial ring were still in their original places. It was clear that Yu Hua had not touched these two items.
"You advanced again?" Yu Hua asked with a smile.
Xia Fei nodded. "Mm. I just reached level 5. Is your body alright?"
Yu Hua replied, "Reaching level 5 in one and a half months. You've set a new record. I've seen people advance quickly, but I've never seen anyone as fast as you."
"I suffered a powerful impact from the Law of Space, but it's not a big deal. I just need a few more days of rest to recover."
Xia Fei asked, "Just how was that spatial bomb made? Its power was simply unimaginable."
Yu Hua shook his head. "The Sunglory Jin Clan is a famous clan in the circle. Besides being proficient in spatial defense techniques, they also have a top-notch artificer, Jin Yanke. Be it the Golden Bell Canopy or that incredibly powerful spatial bomb, they were all made by him. Casa is probably in a mess right now. Once that spatial bomb is unleashed, everything within a hundred miles will be flattened, and space will shatter. No one will be able to survive."
Xia Fei firmly nodded. Spatial bombs could tear through space, so the people inside would naturally be torn apart as well.
"Still, this is a good thing. No one will know that we killed the people from the Jin and Liu families. They'll think that all the Law Adepts who were involved in the conflict died together," Yu Hua softly said.
He deliberately emphasized the word 'we', and his meaning could not be clearer. He was reminding Xia Fei that if this matter were to spread, Xia Fei would not be able to escape responsibility.
"The risk is great, but the reward is also great." Yu Hua pointed at the Darkness Metal and Jin Shuimin's spatial ring. "Alas, we left in too much of a hurry and didn't have time to take Liu Hanzong's spatial ring. He's also a Law Emperor, so I'm sure that he'll have quite a few good things."
Xia Fei remained unmoved as he listened to Yu Hua speak.
"Come, let's split the spoils." As Yu Hua spoke, he looked at Furball. This fellow was currently sleeping in Xia Fei's arms, looking completely carefree.
"How should we split it?" Yu Hua rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, "Xia Fei, do you have any good ideas?"
Xia Fei smiled. He knew that Yu Hua was testing him.
"It's all thanks to you that we have these spoils. You decide how to split it."
Yu Hua smiled and nodded. "Darkness Metal is very precious, or else I wouldn't have spent so much effort fighting for it.
"How about this? I'll give you two options. How about you choose one?"
Xia Fei expressed his agreement. Yu Hua said, "If you don't want Darkness Metal, you can have Jin Shuimin's spatial ring. He's a Law Emperor, and his family produces spatial weapons. I'm sure that he'll have quite a few valuable things.
"If you also like Darkness Metal, I'll give you a third of the metal and this spatial ring, but I'll keep the things inside. Judging from the size of the meteor, you should be able to extract fifteen kilograms of Darkness Metal."
Yu Hua's meaning was very clear. He had pointed out the fact that Jin Shuimin's family was skilled in creating spatial weapons in order to tempt Xia Fei into giving up on Darkness Metal and choosing the spatial ring and its contents.
Xia Fei hugged Furball and made an exception by tossing him a grade 3 Origin Crystal. Furball was elated and became even more attentive to Xia Fei.
"This meteor is very strange. Give me some for research," Xia Fei lightly said.
Frowning, Yu Hua asked, "You want to give up on the things inside the spatial ring and choose the metal?"
Xia Fei smiled. "I've always liked collecting strange things since I was a child. Besides, since the Jin family's Law weapons came from the hands of Master Jin Yanke, they must have left a mark on them. Every high-ranking artificer has the habit of leaving a mark on their work. If someone discovers that I have a weapon exclusive to the Jin family, I'll be in deep trouble. I don't dare to act rashly with my meager cultivation.
"On the other hand, that spatial ring doesn't seem very conspicuous. Even if I take it, no one will recognize it. Thus, no matter how much I like spatial weapons, I can't choose it, so I can only choose the second option."
Yu Hua felt depressed. He had used the high-grade goods in the spatial ring to tempt Xia Fei, but he had overlooked a simple problem. While those things were good, they could easily be exposed, and the loss outweighed the gain.
Looking at Furball, Yu Hua smiled. "It's a deal. Once we get back, I'll personally refine Darkness Metal, and I'll give you a third of the purified metal."
Xia Fei revealed a harmless smile. "Then I'll be counting on you."
Putting away the items in his spatial ring, Yu Hua tossed the small golden ring to Xia Fei. "The space isn't small; it's around ten thousand cubic meters."
Xia Fei was shocked. Ten thousand cubic meters? That was ten times more than the ring he was currently holding!
Xia Fei lightly swiped his finger. Sure enough, Yu Hua's ten thousand cubic meters was a conservative estimate. This ring had at least twelve thousand cubic meters!
"Yu Hua isn't a bad person. If it were anyone else, they'd probably just kill you right away. That way, there's no need to share anything with you. Damn, that's a spatial ring with twelve thousand cubic meters!" Phantom whispered in Xia Fei's ear.
Xia Fei softly replied, "Let's wait and see. Even if he has no ill intentions toward me, I can't afford to be on my guard. I don't like anyone I can't see through."
Phantom pursed his lips. "I think Yu Hua is a good person. Don't forget that it was thanks to him that you could come to the Law Realm."
Xia Fei gently stroked Furball. This fellow was in a great mood after obtaining the grade 3 Origin Crystal, so he kept snuggling into Xia Fei's bosom.
"It's hard to say whether it was because of Yu Hua or Furball," Xia Fei muttered. He felt more and more that Yujiang and Yuhua had decided to recruit him because of Furball. After all, his seventh brain region had been severely damaged back then, and he was practically a cripple. There was no way that Yujiang and Yuhua, two Great Law Emperors, did not know about it.
Waving his hand, Yu Hua said, "I still need to rest for a few days. Use this time to try and break through the level 6 barrier. It's going to be very difficult."
Changing the topic, Yu Hua mysteriously said, "But with my help, a mere barrier won't be a problem. I have a trick that can speed up your breakthrough. Do you want to know?"
Xia Fei was stunned. A trick to speed up his breakthrough? If there really was a trick, it would be too valuable to a Law Warrior!
Level 6 was extremely difficult to break through, and many warriors would be stuck at this level their entire lives, yet Yu Hua was planning to tell Xia Fei the trick to breaking through?!
"See? I told you that Yu Hua has no ill intentions toward you. He's even going to teach you the trick to breaking through!" Phantom gleefully said.
