If one could make the best of the five pieces of blood steel, he could produce five hundred super weapons. They were worth five million kilos of gold if they were converted to that. Such an abundant wealth could help equip a troop of ten thousand soldiers. However, Wandong felt dreadfully agonized as he was only allowed to pick one hundred cubes of raw stones.
Then Wandong threw a sidelong glance at Duan Lengyan and said, "Now that you're in a rush, you may as well leave me here to take my time."
"Heh. That's out of the question. Everyone knows you are a cunning shrewd and always throw your weight about. I have to stay here and keep an eye on you," Duan Lengyan responded.
Noting Duan Lengyan taking a defensive attitude, Wandong thought to himself with indignation, "If I had been aware of my ability to spot the scarlet rays, I should have bet on 500 hundred cubes of stones with you!"
Actually, Wandong was inclined to take a bet with Duan Lengyan. However, it seemed that she had become increasingly sophisticated and smart after losing to him for a few times. Wandong knew that it would be a tough task to fulfill with her on the spot with a full-on alert.
While Wandong was cudgeling his brain to procure five cubes of raw gemstones, a strident howler rushed along and exclaimed, "That guy ventured to go off with the raw stones, get him!"
Wandong turned back and saw a youngster, roughly in his twenties, dashed toward him like a bat out of hell. A squad of Tianbao security staff came hot on the heels of him in hot pursuit.
As the youngster was steps away from Wandong and the others, he growled rampantly, "Let me by! Otherwise, I…I…will kill you!"
As a matter of fact, the robbery of The Tiezhan Empire fit in exactly with Wandong's wishes. Hence, he not only refused to get in the way of the youngster but also helped him by stepping aside to make some room for him.
Seeing Wandong's movement, the youngster slightly nodded, with a tinge of gratitude popping onto his face. As he was rushing beside Wandong, Leng Yuecui shouted and plunged a tense grab at the youngster, like a female eagle running after its prey.
The youngster's martial capacity was rather modest, which wouldn't go beyond the second level of the spiritual energy. It went out with saying that he was unable to steer by Duan Lengyan's grab.
Seeing Duan Lengyan almost get the youngster cornered, Wandong uttered, "Ouch!" Then he feinted a tumble and plunged himself toward Duan Lengyan as if he had been flopping onto the floor. Apparently, Wandong did that on purpose, even Satan wouldn't vouch for his unintended fall. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been just a coincidence that his tumble happened to counter Duan Lengyan's grab.
Duan Lengyan figured out that Wandong was simply playing tricks. Wandong's defense for the robber further exacerbated Duan Lengyan's fury. Pulling a long face, she made a fiercer grab at Wandong instead, regardless of the youngster.
She was about to capture Wandong when he wobbled and moved toward Duan Lengyan with his right hand, which seemed to be taking a subconscious struggle only.
Duan Lengyan sneered even more blatantly and thought, "Xu Yaoting, you think you have what it takes to make my equal? I'm gonna disable you today and finish you for good!" She even already put together a pretext that she did all this by mistake, as Xu Yaoting also flopped out of carelessness after all.
Picturing Wandong's broken arm, Duan Lengyan felt relieved to the utmost. If it had turned out a success, she would have been able to vent all her anger. However, when she did grab Wandong's right hand, she felt as if it hadn't been a human hand but a piece of unconquerable steel instead. However hard she exerted herself to activate her spiritual energy, her grab made no impact on Wandong.
