The suddenness of the assault caught people off guard at first. However, this was to be expected.
Who didnt covet Li Qiyes wealth right now? Moreover, he had a weak cultivation realm on top of no known backers. Thus, everyone wanted to have a taste of his delicious meat.
Its just that they didnt have time to plan just yet. Moreover, it was in broad daylight. Failing might result in throwing away their personal reputation along with their sects.
Nonetheless, this kidnapper had lost their patience and decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately, it just didnt work out.
The person immediately turned to run without saying a word.
Where are you going? Li Qiye smiled and raised his hand.
Boom! An unrestrained radiance and another dao lord aura manifested.
The sky turned dark for a bit before a five-colored waterfall descended. People looked up and saw five mountains spewing out their respective colored light along with dao lord laws.
These laws started rampaging and created powerful blasts. The spectators weapons trembled violently, seemingly in the presence of their king.
The five mountains could suppress gods and devils without Li Qiyes control. This was its power alone.
Five-colored Sky Hammer, another weapon of Omniscient Dao Lord! The same ancestor earlier shouted after seeing the visual phenomenon.
The fleeing assailant became startled and didnt dare to underestimate the incoming pressure.
Clank! They unsheathed a sword. A hawk screech could be heard as the sword turned into a hawk. They jumped on it in order to escape quicker.
Soaring Hawk Sword Technique! Since the assailant had no choice but to go all out, they ended up revealing their background.
Though this black-robed assailant was fast, they still couldnt dodge the dao lord weapon.
Crack! Bones broke down right away and they smashed through several buildings.
Nonetheless, they survived despite being struck by the mighty hammer due to having an impressive cultivation.
They ignored these serious wounds and tried to run again. Alas, this was too late.
Li Qiye and Lu Qi didnt need to do anything since there was a third party appearing. He laughed and said: Cant miss this opportunity!
Rumble! He unleashed a barrage of punches on the assailant who was already wounded.
The newcomer was just too powerful and attacked without warning. Thus, the assailant vomited blood again before being smashed downward. Blood and cracks appeared all over the area.
This newcomer was none other than Jian Sanqiang who had already made a killing off Li Qiye. He stomped down and immobilized the assailant.
Hehe, Young Noble, Im here to help. He smiled at Li Qiye.
However, the spectators focus was still on Li Qiye and the two weapons floating above him a silvery truncheon and a five-colored hammer.
The pressure emanating from the weapons made it difficult for people to stand upright and breathe normally.
Two dao lord weapons The crowd became jealous.
I dont even have one An ancestor complained.
Though certain sects such as Sea Emperor or Nine-wheel Citadel had several dao lord weapons or perhaps more, the average ancestors didnt have access to them.
Now, Li Qiye had two right now. This was a privilege only seen for the successors of the behemoths.
No, he has more than just two. Given what we know about the legacy, its thirteen. A high elder reminded them.
Fuck, he has more weapons than a kingdoms armory. This world is so unfair! The ancestor cursed.
Do Sea Emperor Sword Kingdom or Nine-wheel Citadel have more than ten? A jealous youth asked.
No one could answer this question since it was rather sensitive.
That I do not know. However, I can say with absolute certainty that no single member from there can have more than ten dao lord weapons on them at a time. A big shot shook his head.
Such incredible and undeserved luck. I want to kidnap him too. A young expert spat on the ground.
The jealousy from the crowd was palpable. After all, they could work their entire life and wouldnt come in contact with a dao lord weapon. As for Li Qiye, he obtained thirteen in no time at all.
Young Noble, how should we deal with him? Jian Sanqiang kicked the beaten assailant.
Others looked down on him for acting like Li Qiyes hound. Instead of being a big shot like he is, he chose to work for a junior. Some top cultivators in the crowd found this contemptible.
Of course, Jian Sanqiang wasnt a traditional cultivator and didnt care what people thought about him.
Lets take a look. Li Qiye smiled.
Sanqiang broke the stealth method to reveal the assailant an old man with hawk-like eyes and long brows.
Soaring Hawk Monarch! The crowd clamored after seeing him.
The sect master of Soaring Hawk. Some found this surprising.
Soaring Hawk was a relatively powerful sect in Sword Continent. It wasnt on the same level as the behemoths but was still far stronger than the Xu.
Geezer, youre throwing away your reputation by acting like a bandit. Sanqiang laughed.
The pale monarch turned red from embarrassment despite his serious injuries. He closed his eyes and uttered: The winner takes all, do what you want. He knew that failure meant death today.
Thats not up to me. Young Master, should I end him? Sanqiang looked over at Li Qiye.
Though some members of the crowd knew him or even had a good relationship with him, none stepped up to help. After all, the monarch was in the wrong for attempting to kidnap Li Qiye.
How much is he worth? Li Qiye smiled.
Sorry? Sanqiang didnt understand.
How much can Soaring Hawk pay for him? Li Qiye explained.
Well Sanqiang couldnt come up with a number right away.
Lu Qi answered instead: Given Soaring Hawks history of having five sovereigns, it should be able to gather seven million Heavenly Sovereign Refined Jades in a short time. Of course, this will bankrupt them.
She had a good understanding of the various sects in the world.
Alright, then send them my message, that if they pay the ransom of two million Heavenly Sovereign Refined Jades today, Ill only strip him naked and hang him on the city wall. If they need two days, then well whip him in public and itll be five million. Three days? Well make an example out of him by burning him to death
The crowd exchanged glances after hearing Li Qiyes bizarre idea. They thought that he would execute the monarch right away instead of trying to get a ransom.
You! The monarch vomited blood from anger.
