"Anyway, the fact that I have Longhao with me indicates that I have an excellent relationship with the Qilin clan. The five elders of the Qilin clan adore me to no end. Don't you agree?" Yuan Ye puffed out his chest with pride and said with great confidence. "True. Otherwise, they wouldn't have given you Longhao," Murong Qiang muttered to himself. "Do you have another one? I'll exchange it with my treasures." Yuan Ye took a glance at him. Murong Qiang had messy hair, dull eyes, an ugly appearance, and tattered clothes. No matter how one looked at him, he didn't seem to be someone who possessed treasures. "No, not a single one," Yuan Ye replied without hesitation. "Big brother, I'm calling you big brother. I'm a once - mighty ancient immortal - level expert, but a bastard beat me and reduced my cultivation to below that of a Martial Emperor. If I want to regain my former glory as soon as possible, Longhao is my only hope. Please, save me. Do you want my body or my soul? Just say it," Murong Qiang was in tears and suddenly knelt in front of Yuan Ye. "Damn it. You're disgusting," Yuan Ye got goosebumps all over. He kicked without mercy. Unexpectedly, there was a sly glint in Murong Qiang's eyes. Taking advantage of the situation, he yanked hard and snatched the sun pendant from Yuan Ye's neck. "Damn you, Little Qiang. You robbed my treasure," Yuan Ye rushed forward at once. Six - Strike of Death! Bang! Bang! Bang... Six consecutive fierce kicks landed on Murong Qiang's chest. Yuan Ye felt as if he were kicking a diamond. His feet were numb. However, after being kicked away, Murong Qiang got up and ran. "Whoosh!" An arrow pierced through the air and hit Murong Qiang's back accurately. But the steel arrowhead of the feathered arrow broke when it hit Murong Qiang's body. "The deadly poison of the Blood - colored Ice Toad. Little girl, you dare to shoot me with this. But this poison is useless without drawing blood," Murong Qiang smiled smugly and continued to run. "Roar!" Suddenly, with a furious roar, the little rascal transformed into a five - meter - long white Qilin and chased after him. "Oh, oh. When you grow up, I might be afraid of you. But now, I dare you to bite me. Can you even bite through?" Murong Qiang seemed to be confident that he could handle Yuan Ye, the girl, and the magical beast. "Little Qiang, stop right there. You should know the significance of Longhao in the Qilin clan. If you dare to steal Longhao, I'll go back to the Qilin clan and bring along Elder Chi Nu, Elder Suimu, and the others. Let's see if they can kill you with one palm." Murong Qiang's body froze, and his face turned ashen. Chi Nu and Suimu were legendary experts. In fact, he had never met them, but one thing was certain. Even in his prime, he was no match for these old freaks, let alone now. Longhao was precious, but precisely because it was so precious, once it was stolen, those old freaks would definitely come out of the mountains to kill him. "Big brother!" Murong Qiang suddenly turned around and knelt down with a thud again. "I was just joking. But you must give me this Longhao. I'll see what valuable things I have on me. I'll give them all to you." "Damn it. Look at how poor you are," Yuan Ye snatched back the sun pendant and kicked him without mercy. Boom! Boom! Boom... Punches and kicks rained down continuously. Yuan Ye was half - a - step into the Wu Wang realm. With his techniques, he could definitely handle a Wu Wang now, but he couldn't handle a Wu Jun. Besides his abnormal defense, Murong Qiang himself had the strength of a Wu Jun. However, as if deliberately trying to please Yuan Ye, Murong Qiang didn't dodge or block at all and let Yuan Ye beat him. "Boom!" Yuan Ye kicked Murong Qiang into the air, then jumped up suddenly. From above, he smashed down with a fierce kick, directly sending Murong Qiang crashing into a deep pit. "Big brother, you can't even hurt me when I stand still. Is this fun?" In the deep pit, Murong Qiang, who was being stepped on by Yuan Ye, looked very depressed. "Damn it. I'm having a great time. Where can I find a human punching bag like you?" Yuan Ye said and started kicking and punching furiously again. He only stopped when he felt his legs and feet starting to tremble. "Abnormal. So abnormal," Yuan Ye was extremely astonished in his heart. "Big brother, are you in a better mood?" Murong Qiang looked at Yuan Ye小心翼翼地. "Where did you get this abnormal defense?" Yuan Ye looked at Murong Qiang with a shifty eye. As a result, Murong Qiang was in tears. "I endured humiliation just to get you to talk to me about a deal. Big brother, I'm a master weapon refiner. In the entire Blazing Flame Continent, if you mention my name, Murong Hai, no one won't know me!" "Xi'er, do you know him?" Yuan Ye immediately looked at Rui Xi. Rui Xi shook her head. Yuan Ye spread his hands. "I don't know you either." Murong Qiang was really aggrieved. In the field of super experts, perhaps his strength was rather ordinary, but Murong Qiang was definitely one of the most famous figures. His fame came partly from his extraordinary weapon - refining ability and partly from his foul mouth. But it was just Murong Qiang's bad luck to meet Yuan Ye and Rui Xi. Yuan Ye and Rui Xi definitely didn't know him. "Well... Maybe I haven't shown up for a long time, and everyone has forgotten me. But if you ask those experts above the Martial Emperor level, they will definitely know me. Back then, countless Asuras, War Emperors, Heavenly Saints, Ancient Immortals, and even Mingshen and Zhun Zun asked me to refine treasures for them. I'm the most famous weapon refiner in the Blazing Flame Continent." "Sorry, I'm not the least bit interested in what weapon refining is. What I asked was how you got this defense?" Yuan Ye stared blankly at Murong Qiang with a look of contempt. "I'm a weapon refiner. Over countless years, I developed a body - refining technique. Using myself as the refining material and constantly tempering, eventually my body can be as hard as a weapon." "As hard as a weapon. If my body were as hard as the Thunder Tribulation Sword, even a top - level Martial Emperor would be helpless. Wouldn't that make me an indestructible cockroach?" Yuan Ye had a lot of thoughts at once. "Little Qiang, teach me how to increase my defense, and I'll consider giving you a piece of Qilin horn," Yuan Ye said immediately. "Is it Longhao?" "Damn your head. It's just a small piece of ordinary Qilin horn. Take the deal or leave it." "Wow, you're so greedy. Exchanging a small piece of Qilin horn for my technique. I spent hundreds of thousands of years researching this technique. Look, I'm only at the Wu Jun level now, but a Martial Emperor can't do anything to me. Think about how powerful it is." "Cut it out. It took you hundreds of thousands of years to reach only the Wu Jun level. You're either an idiot or a liar," Yuan Ye immediately roared. "I'm a liar? I was once a top - level Ancient Immortal. If I hadn't been so focused on weapon refining, after hundreds of thousands of years, even if I couldn't reach the Zhun Zun level, I'd be a late - stage Mingshen - level strongman. Go and ask. I know all the Ancient Immortal - level and Mingshen - level experts in the Blazing Flame Continent. They're all my old friends. No matter who they are, no matter what deep grudges they have between them, as soon as they see me, they put aside their differences and gang up on me. Damn it. I was almost beaten to death by a group of Mingshen. That's why my cultivation has dropped to this state." "Stop talking nonsense. Take the deal or leave it," Yuan Ye said firmly. "Kid, don't think that a small piece of Qilin horn can be compared to a whole Qilin horn. Do you think you can just make Longhao smaller and wear it around your neck? It's such a waste. I tell you that most treasures formed by heaven and earth or those from rare and precious beasts must be refined. Otherwise, they can't even exert one - tenth of their effects. If you give me a small piece of Qilin horn, it will be gone after just a little refining. This is absolutely unacceptable." "You know a lot, huh?" "Of course!" Murong Qiang raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly, "Don't you know who I am? I'm the number - one weapon refiner in the Blazing Flame Continent." "Okay, okay. Stop bragging. The number - one weapon refiner is as poor as this," Yuan Ye pointed at Murong Qiang's tattered clothes, which were no better than his once - stylish European - Japanese - style outfit. "I was chased by those bastards for a full seven years. If it weren't for my strong defense, I'd be dead long ago. But my spatial ring was snatched by them. All my treasures were in that ring. Weapon refining requires materials. Without materials, no matter how good I am, it's useless."
