Duan Lingtian held Li Fei's hand. At this moment, he could clearly feel the fluctuation of Li Fei's emotions.
"Don't worry, I'll surely take revenge for Grandfather."
Duan Lingtian gave Li Fei a reassuring gaze.
"I believe you."
Li Fei lightly nodded. She trusted this man unconditionally. Her grandfather was dead, and in this world, this man was her greatest reliance.
In the future, she would only live for this man.
"They're here!"
Suddenly, as if he'd noticed something, Duan Lingtian's brows raised as he gazed into the distance.
The dense crowd seemed to have discussed it beforehand and opened up a path.
"It's the Chu family's Second Elder!"
"The Chu family's Second Master has come as well!"
"There's also the Chu family's Patriarch, Grand Elder, and Third Elder … My god, practically all the higher-ups of the Chu family have come out!"
…
The crowd surged and was extremely clamorous.
On the path that the crowd opened up, a group of people walked over in a formidable array …
Amongst these people, Duan Lingtian only recognized Zhu Qi, the Chu family's Second Master.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian and the Chu family's group stood in confrontation at an empty area.
When facing a group of Origin Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage existences, Duan Lingtian wasn't afraid in the slightest, and his gaze was calm as if he was looking at a group of ordinary people.
While Duan Lingtian was sizing up the Chu family's group, the Chu family's members were sizing up Duan Lingtian as well.
Their first thought was' astonishment. '
Such a young man that was absolutely not more than 20 years old had actually obtained such shocking accomplishments, and it was truly shocking.
The Chu family's Second Master, Zhu Qi, took a step forward and looked at Duan Lingtian as he said in a low voice, "Little Brother, my Chu family's Second Elder has arrived. Now, can you let my son go?"
"Which one is the Chu family's Second Elder?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze swept over the group of people behind Zhu Qi.
"I am the second elder of the Chu family, Zhu Liang."
An old man behind Zhu Qi took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhu Qi. The gaze he used to look at Duan Lingtian contained a trace of disdain. "Little fellow, where it's possible to make mistakes, one should spare them …"
"Let people off whenever possible?"
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhu Liang's words.
Right when Zhu Liang frowned, Duan Lingtian's laughter stopped abruptly, and his cold gaze descended onto Zhu Liang. "Zhu Clan's Second Elder, I won't waste my breath with you … Now, let's make a life wager agreement, and the victor will be decided in a single round. Whoever refines a grade eight spirit weapon of lower quality will die!"
"Do you … dare?"
Duan Ling Tian looked at Zhu Liang, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
"Hmph!"
Zhu Liang's voice was cold as ice. "Why wouldn't I dare? Now, I'll agree to your life wager agreement! "
If he didn't dare, he wouldn't have appeared here now.
Duan Lingtian nodded. "Good, straightforward enough! Xiong Quan, let him go. "
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, Xiong Quan threw Zhu Zhao, who was in his hand, directly towards Zhu Qi as if he was throwing trash.
Zhu Qi glared angrily at Xiong Quan as he stretched out his hand to catch his son.
"Father."
Zhu Zhao had an ashamed expression.
Zhu Qi grunted coldly. "Stand at the back, I'll deal with you when we get back."
At this moment, the surrounding crowd quieted down, and everyone stared fixedly at the violet clothed young man and the green clothed old man.
They held their breaths.
They knew that the most exciting moment was about to arrive!
Zhu Liang looked at Duan Lingtian as he spoke with a calm tone mixed with a sense of superiority. "You're a junior, so it's up to you to make requests … What weapon do you want to refine?"
Zhu Liang's current tone was like a senior lecturing a junior.
The crowd surged.
"As expected of the Chu family's second elder, the publically acknowledged number one grade eight weapons craftsman in our Swallow Mountain County. His bearing is extraordinary."
"Of course, although this young man's talent in weapons refinement can be said to be monstrous, in terms of experience, he surely can't compare to the Chu family's second elder!"
"He's simply courting death by making a life wager with the Chu family's second elder."
"A newborn calf isn't afraid of a tiger! Today, this weapons refinement genius is probably going to die here. "
…
No one in the surrounding crowd was optimistic about Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian naturally heard the discussions of the crowd.
A wisp of worry appeared on Li Fei's face, and the hand that grabbed Duan Lingtian tightened a bit …
"Don't worry."
Duan Lingtian lightly pinched Li Fei's palm, and after letting go of her hand, he took a step forward and looked at Zhu Liang. "I don't mind, then I'll refine a sword."
Sword?
A wisp of a smile appeared on the corners of Zhu Liang's mouth.
In his lifetime, the thing he refined the most was swords.
If it was refining a spirit sword, then he had at least a 90% certainty that he would be able to refine a grade eight spirit sword with a 19% amplification.
"Then let's begin."
Zhu Liang's eyes focused as he raised his hand and withdrew a pile of materials from his Spatial Ring before starting to refine the grade eight spirit sword.
Zhu Liang's technique was extremely complicated, yet extremely skilled, causing the surrounding crowd to gasp in amazement. "The Chu family's second elder's technique is too swift, this is a true weapons craftsman!"
In next to no time, the surrounding crowd looked at Duan Lingtian, but they quickly noticed that Duan Lingtian stood on the spot and didn't have the slightest intention of starting weapon refinement.
"Could it be that he's giving up just like this?"
"Isn't this courting death?"
...
Many people were speechless.
Time flew by, and two hours quickly passed.
The pile of materials on the Weapon Flame in Zhu Liang's hand had now completely fused together to form a sword base.
According to this speed, he would surely be able to complete the refinement of the grade eight spirit sword within an hour.
Now, Duan Lingtian still didn't make any movements.
In a nearby restaurant, in two rooms that were adjacent to the place of the life wager, two pairs of eyes descended onto Duan Lingtian.
"Could it be that this young man has given up?"
In one of the rooms, the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor, Pei Yuan, frowned and had an astonished expression.
In the other room, the corners of Su Mo's mouth curled into a smile when he saw this scene. "This little fellow looks to be extremely confident …. I really never imagined that besides being an alchemist, he's also a weapons craftsman!"
When Su Mo had just arrived at this room, he'd noticed that the young man that planned to carry out the life wager with the Chu family's Second Elder was actually the youth from before, Duan Lingtian!
After he found out about this fact, his heart was filled with shock.
But in next to no time, he came to an understanding. As far as he was concerned, Duan Lingtian was a little freak, and it wasn't strange for any miracles to occur on Duan Lingtian.
"I wonder how this Chu family's Second Elder offended this little freak …. I want to see how he'll deal with this."
The corners of Su Mo's mouth curled into a smile, as he had extremely great confidence in Duan Lingtian.
Although he knew that the Chu family's Second Elder, Zhu Liang, was able to refine a spirit weapon that provided a 19% amplification.
But when he thought of the medicinal pill that Duan Lingtian had refined that day that had a purity of over 90%, he was filled with confidence in Duan Lingtian.
Moreover, he knew that since Duan Lingtian dared to make the life wager with the Chu family's Second Elder in such a flamboyant manner, then he surely had confidence!
Duan Lingtian wasn't a rash person.
In the luxurious building directly opposite the restaurant, in the pavilion.
"Yu, why do you think he hasn't started crafting weapons yet?"
The middle aged man with an imposing appearance lightly smiled as he asked the beautiful woman by his side, and his voice was filled with gentleness like water.
The beautiful woman's clear eyes that were like water condensed strands of complicated flowing lights that converged onto the violet-clothed young man. "Perhaps, he wouldn't need so much time to refine a grade eight spirit weapon …. Don't forget, he's Duan Lingtian!"
"Yeah, he's Duan Lingtian."
The middle aged man lightly nodded, and his tone contained slight emotion mixed within. "Three years ago, when you mentioned him to me, I was slightly disapproving …. It was even to the extent that after he refused your good intentions, I felt that he didn't know what was good for him! Who would've thought …. "
The beautiful woman continued, "Who would've thought that in a short three years, his name would spread throughout the entire Crimson Sky Kingdom …. Now it would seem that not only our Violet Tulip Trading Company, even the Crimson Sky Kingdom can't tolerate him."
"Then let us witness him creating a miracle once more."
The middle aged man lightly smiled as he nodded, and his gaze descended onto the violet-clothed young man in the distance.
The group of people from the Chu family couldn't help but reveal disdain when they saw Duan Lingtian not moving for a long time.
"He actually hasn't started crafting a grade eight spirit weapon, could it be that he's prepared to admit defeat?"
An elder from the Chu family sneered.
"He probably won't."
The Chu family's Patriarch, Zhu Rong, shook his head. "Since the life wager this time was initiated by him, it's impossible for him to admit defeat …. I keep having the feeling that it's slightly inappropriate for us to rashly ask the Second Elder to agree to the wager this time."
As he finished speaking, Zhu Rong frowned.
For some unknown reason, as he looked at the violet-clothed young man in the distance who had a carefree and unhurried expression, he suddenly felt slightly uncertain in his heart.
"Patriarch, could it be that you think he can defeat the Second Elder?"
Another Chu family elder shook his head with a face full of disbelief.
"Don't worry Uncle, the Second Elder is the publically acknowledged number one grade eight weapons craftsman in our Swallow Mountain County. In the Swallow Mountain County, I've never heard of a grade eight weapons craftsman capable of crafting a grade eight spirit weapon with a 19% amplification."
Zhu Zhao had recovered now, and the gaze he looked at Duan Lingtian with was extremely gloomy and cold. "This time, I want to see how he dies!"
Zhu Qi glanced at his son and said indifferently, "Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed …. The clan has already made a decision. Even if this young man loses to the Second Elder, the Second Elder might not take his life."
"Why?"
Zhu Zhao was stunned, and he had a face full of unwillingness.
Zhu Rong added. "Zhao, this young man's background ought to be extraordinary. For the sake of not bringing unnecessary trouble to the clan, we can only do this."
Zhu Zhao's face sank. "Uncle, what if he doesn't have any background?"
