2048 Knocking on the Door

“Sharp-Edged Halberd? So this thing is in the Wei family?” Hearing the continuous exclamations of shock from the other side, Chu Liuyue was also rather surprised as she looked up at Rong Xiu. “Didn’t they say that the Sharp-Edged Halberd has been missing for more than a thousand years?”

Rong Xiu squinted his eyes slightly. “The Wei family has indeed never revealed this information before. This thing… is very likely to have just been obtained by them.”

“Why do you have such a guess?” Chu Liuyue’s glabella moved slightly. “Perhaps they’ve already obtained it, but they’ve been hiding it very well?”

Rong Xiu’s lips curled up into a faint smile. “Wei Ze isn’t such a patient person.”

Although the Wei family was also a first-rate aristocratic family, they were still slightly inferior to the Sky-Cloud Empire that Rong Xiu was in.

In the G.o.d Residence Realm, it was an extremely honorable thing for any aristocratic family to own a holy weapon. If the Wei family already had one, they would’ve announced it to the world.

“If I’m not wrong, they only obtained this Sharp-Edged Halberd after they found out about the existence of Tang Ke’s tomb. Wei Ze deliberately suppressed the news and waited for today.” Meeting Chu Liuyue’s doubtful gaze, Rong Xiu smiled lightly and explained, “The Sharp-Edged Halberd is the holy weapon that Tang Ke refined back then.”

With Tang Ke’s holy weapon, they might really have a chance of success at opening the door of his tomb?

…

At this moment, everyone present had the same thought.

When they saw Wei Ze take out the Sharp-Edged Halberd, they immediately understood something. The expressions on their faces were immediately full of interest.

“Wei Ze! When did you get this Sharp-Edged Halberd?!”

Wei Ze narrowed his eyes. “Well, I don’t think there’s a need for me to tell you, right?”

“Hmph! Who doesn’t know that this Sharp-Edged Halberd is one of the five holy weapons that Tang Ke refined back then!? With this item, wouldn’t it be easy for you to open Tang Ke’s tomb?! Why did you spend so much effort to find us?! Wei Ze, what are you planning?!”

Wei Ze laughed. “Everyone, you’ve really misunderstood me. I have no enmity with all of you; why do I have to harm all of you? Actually, I did think of using this thing to try to open Tang Ke’s tomb previously, but before I could, the news had already spread. Helpless, I could only put this idea aside for the time being and wait for all of you to come together before trying.”

Shangguan Jing suddenly questioned, “If that’s the case, why didn’t you say anything at the beginning? Why did you only speak after so many people died?”

This was also what the others present minded the most. If Wei Ze had taken this out earlier, the people in front would probably not have died!

Wei Ze laughed bitterly. “Senior Shangguan, I didn’t expect this place to be so dangerous! Originally, I thought that since we were all top existences in the G.o.d Residence Realm, we would definitely have a way. Furthermore, if I had spoken directly at that time, then… It would probably have attracted discussions, right?”

In other words, he was trying to be fair. Otherwise, when everyone was here, he would be the first.

It was as if he had deliberately s.n.a.t.c.hed it…

Only now did no one dare to rashly step forward. It was most appropriate for him to take action again.

The crowd was stumped.

Shangguan Jing knitted his brows. Wei Ze’s words and actions seem to be understandable, but if he is like this, the people who died earlier would be wronged.

However, everyone has a compet.i.tive relations.h.i.+p with each other. Speaking of which, Wei Ze doesn’t have the obligation or responsibility to take responsibility for the lives of others…

It is fine to call him selfish, but no one is in a position to criticize him.

This Wei Ze… is really scheming!

Wei Ze sneered in his heart and retracted his gaze. He then tightened his grip on the Sharp-Edged Halberd in his hand. This is the Wei family’s territory. Tang Ke’s tomb should belong to us!

These people came from all over to fight for it, yet they still have the cheek to say so much? Do they really think that the Wei family is easy to bully?!

Fortunately, I encountered an extremely good opportunity and obtained this Sharp-Edged Halberd! With this thing, my chances of opening Tang Ke’s tomb will increase greatly!

When he thought of this, Wei Ze felt excited. He was also an Armory Refinement Master, so he was naturally filled with curiosity and yearning for Tang Ke’s tomb!

As long as he could enter, he might be able to obtain the treasures left behind by Tang Ke, or even the inheritance!

Wei Ze’s heart was burning with pa.s.sion. He couldn’t help but lick his lips and channel all the force in his body into the Sharp-Edged Halberd!

Then, he held the Sharp-Edged Halberd tightly in one hand and stabbed forward!

Whir!

A strange buzzing sound suddenly came from the huge blood-red stone! Right on the heels of that, the bronze door knocker also moved without any wind.

It was as if an invisible hand had pulled it up and gently buckled it.

Knock knock!

There was a crisp knock on the door.

Everyone was shocked! “It moved! This is really a door!”

Wei Ze’s eyes stared intently as his heart beat violently. The blood in his entire body seemed to boil with it!

The sky quickly darkened.

Dark clouds gathered, and the wind howled.

Streaks of silver snake-like heavenly lightning appeared one after another and quickly shuttled through the clouds.

It was a huge commotion.

The commotion was shocking.

Shangguan Jing looked up. “As expected—holy weapons are extraordinary… They’re casually activated, yet they can trigger such a magnificent scene…”

Even if he wanted to refine a Yuan instrument, he might not be able to trigger so many lightning bolts in such a short period of time!

The Sharp-Edged Halberd was indeed worthy of its reputation as one of the top ten holy weapons!

Boom!

A bolt of heavenly lightning struck down with a loud bang, heading straight for Wei Ze!

The dazzling light was almost blinding.

Some of the weaker ones couldn’t withstand the pressure and subconsciously took a few steps back. However, most of the people present still persisted and refused to move a single step.

Rumble!

The lightning struck the Sharp-Edged Halberd in Wei Ze’s hand!

But the moment the shocking lightning landed on the Sharp-Edged Halberd, it was instantly devoured!

An inch-long silver-white pattern appeared!

Wei Ze was the closest, so he could see everything clearly. For a moment, he was shocked and amazed. As expected of one of the top ten holy weapons. Such terrifying lightning power was actually completely devoured in an instant.

It contained an abundance of energy, but it only awakened one pattern.

If I can completely awaken the Sharp-Edged Halberd… How awe-inspiring would that be!?

Actually, this was also the first time Wei Ze had officially attacked after obtaining the Sharp-Edged Halberd. Therefore, even he was shocked.

After a short moment of shock, endless excitement and joy surged in his heart. With such a treasure in hand, Tang Ke’s tomb will definitely be opened!

Then, several more bolts of lightning descended.

The aura on the Sharp-Edged Halberd became stronger and stronger.

The bronze knocker kept shaking.

The buzzing sound coming from inside seemed to be getting clearer and clearer!

Finally—

The last bolt of lightning was also devoured by the Sharp-Edged Halberd!

The last dark rune on it lit up!

Wei Ze took a deep breath and stabbed forward!
