Of course, Ye Kong knew what he meant. Divine sense wasn't the only thing that could control the Dharma artifacts. The output of spiritual energy was also very important. With Patriarch Acheron's fourth-layer Qi Refinement cultivation, he wouldn't be able to control so many Dharma artifacts for more than three minutes.
Sure enough, after the flying needles flew up and circled around the battlefield to attack Li Wei's body, the three flying needles actually showed signs of running out of spiritual power. The three golden lights and the Cyan Jade Sword fighting on the battlefield also began to slow down.
Ye Kong said anxiously, "Xuan 'er, can you do it? Why don't we just admit defeat? "
Patriarch Acheron cackled. "Kid, all the Dharma artifacts and materials have to be flexible. Especially in battle, you have to use all the things that you can use. In fact, a battle between cultivators can be varied. It's not just two cultivators standing on one side and competing with their Dharma artifacts and cultivation … Patriarch, no, disciple, today, I will let Master see a classic battle example of someone with high divine sense but low cultivation!"
Not only Ye Kong, but even Li Wei was watching with rapt attention. They wanted to see what this kid was going to do. However, Li Wei was puzzled. Why was this disciple so arrogant? Who was the master and who was the disciple?
Both of them fixed their eyes on the petite Patriarch of Yellow Spring. He patted his storage pouch and took out a mid-grade spirit stone. Then, he performed a spell with his left hand while his right hand continued to absorb the spirit energy from the spirit stone.
Ye Kong vomited blood. "This is your classic battle example?"
"That's right! He's only stronger than me in terms of cultivation and spiritual energy! I have a mid-grade spirit stone to continuously absorb spiritual energy. I don't believe that with so many Dharma artifacts, I can't beat one of his Dharma artifacts! "
Ye Kong almost wanted to vomit blood. "Big Brother, the spirit stones that you used were all earned by me through hard work. You have so many artifacts, but you're still on par with him. When you win, I reckon that I'll go bankrupt."
"No! In a battle of life and death, I can't care about spirit stones! My cultivation is inferior to his, so I'll use spirit stones to kill him! "
In reality, this was indeed the case. Patriarch Acheron had an endless supply of Spirit Stones to replenish his Spiritual Energy, but Li Wei did not have the capital to do so. He had to be frugal with even a low-grade Spirit Stone. How could he be as extravagant as Patriarch Acheron?
Li Wei smiled bitterly. He had run into a rich person. This person would rather spend dozens of Medial Grade Spirit Stones to fight him to the end than give him five Medial Grade Spirit Stones. This fellow really had character.
Seeing that there was still someone with a similar cultivation to him who had not made a move yet, Li Wei simply kept his flying sword and said, "Forget it, this battle will be considered a draw. Your protection fee will be waived … I have some urgent matters to attend to at home, so forgive me for not being able to accompany you. I'll leave first!"
This brat was indeed timid. The moment he found himself in trouble, he tried to flee. However, how could Ye Kong let him leave? He raised his Shieldsword and blocked Li Wei's path.
"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this? I've already said it's over! " Li Wei roared in a threatening manner. At this moment, if he still did not understand that he had kicked an iron plate, he would truly be a fool.
Ye Kong sneered, "An adult has to pay for his actions. You come and go as you please. One moment, you want to collect protection fees. The next moment, you refuse. Humph, do you think you are the only one with a big mouth here?"
"Then what do you want!?" Li Wei felt depressed. It was rare for him to do something bad, yet he ended up kicking an iron plate. He was truly unlucky.
"If you had the intention to kill me and steal my treasures, you would already be a corpse by now! However, I do not easily forgive others. Leave something behind, and I will spare your life! "
Li Wei was poor to begin with. He had only managed to obtain a high-grade flying sword. If he lost his flying sword, he might as well die.
He immediately roared, "Fellow Daoist! Don't go too far! This is the territory of my Huang Province's Wan Family. If you dare to rob me today, someone will hunt you down tomorrow! "
Li Wei originally wanted to threaten him, but he did not expect the black-faced cultivator to be stunned for a moment before blurting out, "Wan Family, Daoist Master Wan Xuan?"
"That's Senior Apprentice Brother Li." Li Wei felt relieved.
Actually, even if this kid was from the Wan Family, Ye Kong was prepared to teach him a lesson. After all, Daoist Master Wan Xuan did not do him any favors, and Ye Kong did not have any debts to repay.
However, when he heard the Wan Family, Ye Kong thought of another person and asked, "What is the name of the mid-stage Qi Refinement female cultivator among the three of you?"
"Liu Ying."
"Oh, so it's her!" Only then did Ye Kong understand why she looked familiar on the ship. It turned out that this lass was the little girl he had saved in the refugee camp outside Huang Province. She was only 14 years old back then, but it had been almost four years since then. A girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood, and he did not even recognize her.
Since it had come to this, Ye Kong did not make things difficult for him. After all, the Wan Family had given him face by accepting Liu Ying as their disciple. After all, the name Ye Kong was a symbol of trouble. If it were any other family, they would have chased this lass away long ago.
"In the future, if you want to extort others, you better open your eyes! If you have eyes but can't see, you're just an asshole! " Ye Kong scolded. Li Wei knew that he had managed to turn the situation around and did not dare to talk back. He quickly nodded in agreement.
Following that, he saw Ye Kong take out a gold ingot worth 50 taels of silver and hand it to Li Wei. "Help me do something. Give this ingot to that lass called Liu Ying."
With that, Ye Kong and Patriarch Acheron rode on the Shieldsword, transforming into a beam of light as they soared into the sky.
Ye Kong's main purpose in returning the gold ingot was to stop him from thinking about her, as well as to tell the lass that they were no longer involved. After all, he had seen the lass's naked body before. Now, he found it quite interesting. If he were to see this ingot often in the future, he might occasionally have some thoughts about it. This would be detrimental to his cultivation.
However, this put Li Wei in a difficult position. He had come behind Liu Ying's back. If he took the gold ingot back, Liu Ying would definitely question him. He was not afraid of Liu Ying reporting him. Rather, he was vexed about what to say. If he did not have the gold ingot, he would say that he did not keep up. But with the gold ingot, it would be hard to say. If he boasted that he had won, then Wan Yang would definitely ask him for benefits. If he said that he had lost, that would be too embarrassing.
After thinking about it, he thought of a lie. Since this person had taken out the gold ingot, this ingot definitely had some connection to Liu Ying.
So he went back and told Liu Ying that he had wanted to extort that brat, but that brat had knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that he knew Liu Ying. He had even taken out this ingot as proof, so Li Wei had spared him. Although this lie had a loophole, Liu Ying was not very experienced. In addition, it was not convenient for her to explain the origin of this ingot. Blushing, she took the ingot and left.
Seeing Liu Ying's appearance, Li Wei believed that there might be something fishy going on between the two of them. Thus, Liu Ying would definitely not tell Wan Yang about this. So, he simply said that he had not met Wan Yang and dropped the matter.
However, this matter made Liu Ying feel quite uncomfortable. That dark-faced man was truly a useless coward. If you couldn't beat me, then why did you take out this ingot? You made it seem like there was something going on between the two of us, but the two of us were innocent. Weren't you ruining my innocence? How hateful! Coward!
