Chapter 828: Ruo
The golden light was coming from a spear. Its shaft was a pale gold, etched with exquisite engravings of a coiling dragon. The dragon’s mouth opened to form the spearhead, while its tail extended into the base of the shaft.
The entire weapon measured around two meters in length and was about as thick as an egg. It was forged from some unknown alloy Li Xiaofei couldn’t identify. The craftsmanship was so refined it looked more like a piece of art than a weapon.
The red light, on the other hand, was coming from a medicine pouch. Li Xiaofei picked up the golden dragon-patterned spear. It was heavy in his hand, the metal cold to the touch.
He then opened the pouch. Inside were six marble-sized pills, red as ripe betel nuts, and glistening like jade. A faint herbal fragrance wafted out from them. Just a single whiff made his mind feel clear and refreshed. They were clearly high-grade immortal pills and precious beyond doubt.
Li Xiaofei carefully stored the pills and began to refine the spear. Perhaps because the weapon had no current master, the refinement went smoothly and quickly. He could immediately feel the weapon responding to him, flowing with his intent. As he swung it, a faint dragon’s roar echoed through the air.
A fine spear indeed, he thought with joy.
This harvest was excellent. Spear in hand and dog at his side, he stepped out of the burning wooden building. But he hadn’t gone far when he heard shouting and the sounds of battle from a nearby street to his right.
His heart stirred, and he immediately rushed over. From a distance, he saw the old Chancellor wielding a warblade, locked in fierce combat with two second-evolution Night Fiends. Meanwhile, Luo Ge lay slumped against a burning ancient tree, severely wounded. Her face was pale and bloodless.
The blade in the old Chancellor’s hand was clearly no ordinary weapon, since it could actually harm the Night Fiends. His combat experience was exceptional, but the two Night Fiends fought with terrifying instinct and coordination, pinning him down and steadily overwhelming him.
Luo Ge gritted her teeth, forcing herself to stand despite her injuries. Her greatsword raised, she prepared to charge in and assist. But at that exact moment—
Whoosh!
The sound of air tearing rang out as Li Xiaofei flashed into the battlefield. The spear in his hand surged forth like a dragon leaping from the sea. It was swift, fluid, and unstoppable.
