Because of the rain, there were some water stains leaking from the awning above the alley, making it wet. There was also a thin layer of moss on the stones at the corner. Under the illumination of the green fluorite lamp, everyone's shadows were dragged on the damp alley. The people walking in the alley were all wearing overalls and masks. Everyone's voice was changed. It was either too loud or too thin. Some guys were even using ventriloquism. Their voices were completely produced from their abdomens, which made it even more difficult for people to recognize them.
On a rainy night, in such a quiet alley, a few masked men were wandering around like wandering ghosts. Anyone who saw such a scene for the first time would probably be shocked. Because of that, the atmosphere in the alley was a little strange.
Zhang Tie was also in a black overcoat and a mask. Walking in the alley, he paid attention to the items that were placed on the windows on both sides of the alley.
After reaching LV 9, Zhang Tie understood why his master Zhao Yuan told him that LV 9 was just the beginning of cultivation. Because after reaching LV 9, besides lighting a large number of invisible surging points, many battle skills and fighting skills could only be cultivated after reaching LV 9.
Take body movements for example, before the ninth level. Zhang Tie was only qualified to learn a basic body movement skill — — leaping skill, which could greatly enhance one's jumping ability by exerting force through one's spine. Before learning the leaping skill, Zhang Tie could only jump about 4 m high based on his instinct; however, after learning the leaping skill, he could jump 6-7 m high at once.
When Zhang Tie came to this demon hunters' black market last time, he saw the biggest transaction of a body movement skill called "Storm Steps", which was sold at a price of 650,000 gold coins. This made Zhang Tie a bit speechless. Previously, Zhang Tie was a bit tempted; however, after knowing that the cultivation of "Storm Steps" required him to light over 70 surging points on his feet, he gave up. Therefore, Zhang Tie gave it up.
Many high-level martial skills required one to ignite some surging points. After obtaining the cultivation method of igniting surging points, many people would not be able to use it. It was also an important part of one's overall strength whether one could acquire the martial skills and battle skills that matched those surging points that he had lit.
Under normal circumstances … The more surging points a person lit, besides releasing his potential, he would be able to cultivate and exert more martial skills and battle skills. Therefore, on the road of cultivation, the strong would always be strong. Although each step forward would be very difficult, after each step forward, one would be able to make a great progress in cultivation. All you can see is a different world.
Zhang Tie was watching those commodities in the alley. All of a sudden, he felt that the Ring of Awareness he was wearing made his fingers slightly numb. Zhang Tie could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
The effect of the Ring of Awareness was triggered when someone stared at him from behind for more than 20 seconds. The effect of the rune on the ring would be triggered.
Zhang Tie didn't know who was staring at him, but the warning of the Ring of Awareness reminded him to be careful. Zhang Tie pretended that nothing had happened. However, when he was watching those weapons on a stall on one side of the alley, he used the corner of his eyes to glance behind him.
With his dark vision, Zhang Tie saw over 30 people in the alley behind him. Each of them was wearing a black overcoat and a mask. They were doing their own business in groups of two or three, while others were alone. It seemed that nobody had noticed him at all. Zhang Tie could not identify who was looking at him from behind just now.
"Is it a coincidence or intentional? Have they already known my identity or treat me as a fat sheep?"
Zhang Tie's mind raced rapidly. As demon hunters in Selnes Theater of Operations came from different countries and regions, the relationships between demon hunters were sometimes very complex. Zhang Tie had heard that demon hunters would stab each other when they encountered each other in the wild. Even in some cities, some powerful demon hunters had violated the law. Therefore, Zhang Tie was not sure what that person was thinking about.
Noticing that Zhang Tie was looking at those weapons in front of his stall, the demon hunter became interested at once, "All the weapons here are top quality goods across Selnes Theater of Operations. All of them are basically attached with a rune effect. Although it's the simplest rune effect, it's much more powerful than common weapons. Take this long sword as an instance, the rune effect is sharpness. Additionally, it's made of senior alloy. It's a rare booty that we seized in our action!"
The stall owner showed a sharp long sword longer than 1 m in front of Zhang Tie. It was indeed a very good item. The long sword was simple and elegant. Even the scabbard didn't have too many ornaments. However, it gave people a very stable and sharp feeling.
Zhang Tie's heart raced. He took the sword and found it was very heavy. It was only a bit more than 20 kg; however, after taking it, Zhang Tie found it was at least 70 kg. It seemed that the material of the sword was a bit special. Its weight was just right for Zhang Tie.
"How much?" Zhang Tie asked the stall owner straightforwardly.
"Fixed price: 1200 gold coins!"
If it was a common top quality long sword without rune effect, it could at least sell for 200 gold coins. As long as the opponent remembered his figure, he would be able to recognize him.
Zhang Tie thought, 'Some people might have noticed that I've been staying in the demon hunters' market for over one month. Therefore, they just wait for me in the demon hunters' market. '
Those who could appear in the demon hunters' market were all powerhouses. It would be easier for the opponent to hide his identity. Additionally, it would be convenient for the opponent to escape.
However, all of a sudden, Zhang Tie found that the demon hunters' market was full of killing intent. As a result, Zhang Tie became intense.
After failing to assassinate an alchemist's bomb, especially knowing that he could kill a LV 10 wing demon, Zhang Tie knew that the opponent would definitely dispatch a powerhouse above LV 11, even a great battle master.
Although Zhang Tie looked relaxed, he was thinking about countermeasures. However, at this moment, a voice drifted into his ears from the booth in front of him.
"Ahh, I thought it was something good. It turns out to be a 'Robust Ox Skill'. It's just a waste of my time. This secret method could cheat those guys below LV 6. Who would want to break their own cultivation base in order to promote one level? Bro, this secret method could be sold at a high price before the holy war, but now, it's just a common one in the regular demon corps. Ji Ji Ji Jō? Melancholy? Iliac labyrinth? Huh?? Sword???
"Ah, if you want, I can make it cheaper. How about ten thousand gold coins?"
"Forget it. For people below level 10, this thing is just a trap. Whoever practices it will be unlucky."
"If this thing is complete, it would be an Emperor-level secret manual. Even if you don't practice it, it's still very valuable!" The stall owner didn't give up and continued to explain.
"Antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times. Who would have time to study them? Gold is the most important thing!"
After saying this, he shook his head and left the stall in front of him.
As nobody knew that Zhang Tie wanted the 'Robust Ox Skill', Zhang Tie was sure that everything in front of him was not a scam or a trap.
