WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 137: The Robbery

In the empty space at the fifth level of the Symbol Master Tower, Lin Dong put on a calm expression as he stared at the two people sitting in front of the hall to the sixth level, Liu Long and Cao Zhu. He had long predicted that this duo would not easily let this matter stop.

"Brat, since you have chosen to do this the hard way, don't blame us!" Cao Zhu sneered as he looked at Lin Dong while a satisfied look flashed across the former's eyes. Today, Cao Zhu was finally able to regain his pride.

Lin Dong glanced at Cao Zhu and Liu Long. Of the two, Liu Long was clearly the strongest, and yet, he still had not reached the third stage of the Symbol Master seal. Overall, it should not be uncontrollable.

“Heh heh, brother Lin Dong, the two of us do not plan to make things difficult for you. As long as you return the 'Mysterious Ice Sword' to Cao Zhu's junior, and compensate him with twenty thousand Yang Yuan Stones before leaving the Master Symbol Tower, we will both let you go peacefully. Liu Long smiled as he spoke.

Upon hearing Liu Long's terms, Lin Dong also smiled as he replied: "***** Great meal, what will happen if I don't return it?"

"* Sigh*, then we just need to destroy you here." Liu Long sighed as he said.

"Can you take someone's life here?" Lin Dong seemed to be dumbfounded as he asked.

“Although we cannot take your life due to the rules, breaking your hands and legs is still allowed.” Liu Long chuckled.

“Thank you so much for telling me.”

Lin Dong's expression turned serious before he continued: "Because of that, you two were invited to come and break my arms and legs."

"Fuck, since you seek death, this one will grant it!"

After seeing Lin Dong's behavior, Cao Zhu realized that Lin Dong was teasing them. Immediately, he angrily cursed as several cold lights exploded from his sleeves and shot towards Lin Dong like lightning.

“About clang!”

Lin Dong's body did not move as the three Mysterious Ice Swords danced before him like three silver snakes and instantly reflected a sharp and cold light.

"Because you are so stubborn, don't blame us both for being unforgiving!" Liu Long's gaze darkened, with a wave of his hand, a fiery red sword came out of his Qiankun bag.

When that fiery red sword appeared, a blazing aura filled the air. From his radiance, one could tell that it was definitely not an ordinary item.

Lin Dong curiously looked at the flaming red longsword. Some strange symbols were carved on its surface, with a single look, one could tell that it was forged by a grandmaster-level expert.

“These people, as expected of those from Sky Fire City. Each and every one of them was very rich. ” Lin Dong was a bit envious in his heart. The previous weapons were only a few Yuan Broken Fragments made from Mysterious Yuan Destruction Metal. Compared to the weapons of these people, they were a little embarrassing.

While Lin Dong sighed inwardly, Liu Long and Cao Zhu were already standing up. Waves of powerful Mental Energy gushed out from within the bodies of the two. Both of them had the potential to advance to the third stage of the Symbol Master seal, now that they had joined hands today, their strength was even stronger than the eight Symbol Masters of the previous Sky Fire City.

"Buzz!"

Cao Zhu's fist clenched as powerful Mental Energy swiftly gathered in his fist. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into two rapidly spinning Mental Energy disks. The sharp and rounded edges let out a buzzing sound as they spun.

"Go!"

The duo was clearly very coordinated, after exchanging glances, the fiery red longsword and the sharp Mental Energy discs that floated in the air took two separate paths as they swiftly attacked Lin Dong.

"About!"

As he stared at the duo's attack, Lin Dong's finger flicked and three Mysterious Ice Swords shot out. The two of them parted to block the flaming red long sword, the sword flipped over and revolved in the air as sparks came out.

The other Mysterious Ice Sword went to receive Cao Zhu's Mental Energy disk. For a moment, sparks flew through the air as the clear 'clang clang' sound continued to echo.

This object manipulation duel mainly depended on the strength of each side's Mental Energy. It was similar to two people cutting each other with wide swords while putting away their sword techniques, an exchange that was based solely on each other's raw strength.

“About clang!”

The sword flipped over and flew, as the exchange continued, a serious expression appeared on Liu Long's face. He could sense that every time he clashed with the Mysterious Ice Sword, the resulting immense might would disperse the bit of Mental Energy he attached to his Ever-Flame sword. Evidently, Lin Dong's Mental Energy was even stronger than his.

Most importantly, Lin Dong was currently facing the two at once, yet, he still managed to defeat Liu Long even with his Mental Energy split.

"No wonder even Cao Zhu lost to this guy, he is indeed capable."

At this moment, Liu Long finally felt a hint of uneasiness, yet, since they had already exploded, there was no point in him regretting. Immediately, a cold glint flashed across his eyes.

"Cao Zhu, combine our Mental Energy!"

Liu Long did not plan to prolong the fight, with a flick of his mind, the Ever-Flame Sword broke through the two Mysterious Ice Swords and once again floated in front of him.

Upon hearing Liu Long's cry, Cao Zhu's eyes darkened as he solemnly nodded his head. His hands moved to form a seal as a part of the powerful Mental Energy gushed out before finally flowing endlessly into the Ever-Flame Sword in front of them.

“Buzz buzz!”

As the two frantically poured out their Mental Energy, a striking red light burst out from the Ever-Flame Sword while an intimidating aura spread in the air.

"Ever-Flame Sword, cut it!"

Liu Long's expression darkened as he shouted. The Ever-Flame Sword instantly turned into a flaming sword image that was several feet long. It tore through the air by carrying a red-hot sword Qi as it ruthlessly slashed towards Lin Dong.

Lin Dong was startled by the overwhelmingly powerful sword aura, he never expected that the duo had such a deep connection with each other. Immediately, he waved his palm as the three Mysterious Ice Swords became entangled like three white snakes before starting to spin, emitting a powerful cold Qi as they smashed into the burning sword images.

“Ci!”

The intertwined flames and ice were sound waves of 'chi chi' exploding. However, Liu Long and Cao Zhu clearly had the upper hand in this attack, thus, the light from the three Mysterious Ice Swords quickly became dim as the two forces clashed.

"Cut!"

After seeing this scene, Liu Long and Cao Zhu were very pleased. Their arms ferociously waved as the flaming sword images forcefully tore through the defenses of the three Mysterious Ice Swords as it cut towards Lin Dong's head.

Lin Dong raised his head, the image of the flaming sword reflected in his eyes grew bigger and bigger. However, he did not dodge as expected, instead, he stretched out his right palm as the powerful Mental Energy formed layer after layer upon layer upon it.

“Finding death!”

Upon seeing Lin Dong's actions, both Liu Long and Cao Zhu immediately sneered. This sword would shatter even a huge stone into pieces, yet Lin Dong actually dared to accept it with the flesh of his palm.

“Ci!”

In an instant, the image of a flaming sword was cut down on Lin Dong's palm. The layer of Mental Energy on it was quickly melted down by the extremely hot and formidable sword Qi. However, just as all Mental Energy was on the verge of being dissipated, a strange suction force suddenly exploded from the middle of Lin Dong's palm.

“Buzz buzz!”

Under that suction power, the duo's Mental Energy that covered the Ever-Flame Sword was instantly plucked out of the sword before finally penetrating into Lin Dong's palm.

As Mental Energy was absorbed by Lin Dong, the flaming light from the Ever-Flame Sword instantly dimmed and the formidable sword Qi also disappeared completely…

"How is this possible!?"

Upon seeing his initial victory punch mysteriously dissolve in such a way, astonishment appeared in Liu Long and Cao Zhu's eyes.

Lin Dong gave the surprised duo a small smile as his hands stretched out and grabbed the Ever-Flame Sword under Liu Long's angry gaze. A powerful Yuan power burst out from Lin Dong's body as the tip of his foot touched the ground and dashed towards the two.

"Hurry, retreat!"

Upon seeing Lin Dong take the Ever-Flame Sword and rush towards them, Liu Long and Cao Zhu's scalps became numb. They had never imagined that even their strongest moves would not be able to do any damage to Lin Dong. Immediately, they hurriedly retreated in panic.

The mental energy of this duo was still worth mentioning, however, their Yuan Power was completely defeated by the early stages of Yuan Dan Lin Dong. Hence, as the two moved to escape, Lin Dong's figure had already appeared in front of them. Without waiting, the Ever-Flame Sword in his hand cut off two powerful sword flashes that pierced towards the two as fast as lightning.

With a great flash of red-hot sword about to hit their bodies, Liu Long and Cao Zhu were so shocked that their souls would leave their bodies. The move from before had consumed a lot of their Mental Energy, plus, they still needed to withstand the pressure of the fifth level Mental Energy. Thus, the two could only draw Yuan Power from within their bodies to form a defense in front of them.

However, this kind of defense was undoubtedly just a thin piece of paper for Lin Dong. A sword glint struck as the seemingly powerful Yuan Power defense instantly tore apart. The remaining sword glint swept out and instantly cut off a few fingers of the two.

"Aah!"

A pitiful scream sounded as the clipped fingers floated in the air.

Liu Long and Cao Zhu were deathly pale as they hugged their bloody hands. At this moment, they were no longer able to withstand the pressure of Mental Energy and fell to the ground with their bottoms. However, without waiting for them to howl, the flaming long sword stopped at their necks.

"Lin Dong, if you kill us, the Sky Fire City Symbol Master Guild will not let you go!"

Even though their howls had stopped, Liu Long and Cao Zhu were staring at the sharp long sword in front of them with fear as a trying sounding voice spoke.

Lin Dong slightly chuckled as he said: "Don't worry, I won't kill you ..."

Upon hearing these words, Liu Long and Cao Zhu quietly sighed in relief. However, Lin Dong's next words caused the duo's skin to once again turn pale white.

“However, if you want to buy your life, you have to pay. I'll give you both a fair price: fifty thousand Yang Yuan Stones per person, how does it sound?
