Chapter 210: Chapter 179: Otherwise, Kill Them_1

Three weapons with subtle differences in appearance make these arms seem less standardized, yet considering they’re produced by the Dusk Cathedral, even if they’re special, they’re pretty much like any standard-issue weapon.

If others had the same materials and requirements as Zheng Yichen, the weapons made here would likely be similar to the ones he’s holding in his hands.

But regardless, the weapons were completed.

Zheng Yichen tested each one, feeling quite satisfied with them; they were suitable for children... and adults alike.

These were the normal weapons for regular people to use, unlike the giant swords they carried, which often felt uncomfortable to wield.

Zheng Yichen placed the weapons in storage, where the Dragon Blood previously stored was gone, replaced by three letters. After putting the swords inside, he found a place to sit and reread the contents of the three letters.

The content of Liu Hongzhao’s letter was the simplest, mentioning recent annoyances from pests and a sense of being ’watched’ over, but she couldn’t detect the presence watching her, nor did she know what gave her that feeling.

Her letter wasn’t short on intent to kill.

Reading each word filled with a killing aura, Zheng Yichen felt some concern for the child’s psychological well-being. However, that observation couldn’t be the work of the Snake God, could it?

Qi Xiangyun’s letter spoke of her progress with Mechanical Techniques. That child was very invested in reviving Qi Family Town and showed a lot of promise.

Lin Yaoyao talked about some family matters and how she had been approached by someone wanting her to join in saving humanity. Lin Yaoyao seemed conflicted mainly because she felt their reasoning was sound, with so many monsters in the world now, and she also had the capability—

"What capability do you have? It’s not a thirteen-year-old’s turn to save humanity. Whoever spewed that nonsense and made such a request is definitely up to no good. Tell those who came to you to get lost, or if they don’t, chop them down!"

"That’s the reply from Brother Chang Qing," Lin Yaoyao read out Zheng Yichen’s response in the Dusk Territory, sounding somewhat downcast.

"Brother Chang Qing speaks wisely," Liu Hongzhao said as she looked at the brief content of the letter, a faint smile appearing on her frosty face. She didn’t mind Lin Yaoyao’s current despondency; she just thought that Brother Chang Qing’s response was on point.

Adults seeking a young girl barely of age to talk about saving humanity? Just like Brother Chang Qing said, those people were definitely up to no good!

Liu Hongzhao fondly caressed a fiery red sword in her hand, a sword Zheng Yichen had sent through the storage behind. Its aura was similar to the Dragon Blood he sent not long before, which was labeled as alien beast blood meant for their martial arts practice.

This sword was meant for their everyday use, unlike the weapons of the Battle Maniac Asura, which were inconvenient.

She was delighted by such a gift.

"But they haven’t caused me any trouble..."

"They haven’t caused trouble but plan to use you, hmph! The weapon in your hand, your martial arts, you wouldn’t want to be foolishly exploited then end up crying and seeking comfort from Brother Chang Qing, would you?"

Liu Hongzhao glanced at Lin Yaoyao, her weapon as a Battle Maniac Asura was a Supreme Demon Weapon, and the accompanying Supreme Demon martial arts were enough to cause upheaval. Haven’t there been enough struggles throughout history centered around some Divine weapon or peerless wonder skill?

Her ’Supreme Demon physique’ was prone to envy and rejection, and the resources they controlled were not far behind.

She would rather approach all those who tried to contact her with the utmost suspicion and malice than believe their intentions were good.

"Then I just won’t listen to what they say," Lin Yaoyao replied.

"If your resolve isn’t strong, they will keep coming for you. This matter should be handled exactly as Brother Chang Qing said!" Liu Hongzhao glanced at some people nearby. The Dusk Territory was a public area, and she couldn’t drive away some of these distasteful individuals.

Considering their demands and comparing them with Zheng Yichen only heightened the contrast.

"We don’t need to think too much about this for now, at least not until the Aberrant creatures undergo some new changes," Qi Xiangyun quickly interjected, noticing Lin Yaoyao’s eyes reddening: "Just ignore those people."

"As for saving humanity, rather than being swayed by them, you’d be better off helping me. Even if you want to get plump, you have to take it slow. Once Qi Family Town is rebuilt, we can shelter many who are still alive. Why trust them?"

Liu Hongzhao glanced at Qi Xiangyun: "Then you might as well become an empress; Qi Family Town will surely be even more ’prosperous’ than before."

"..." Qi Xiangyun rolled her eyes, deciding not to engage in that topic. As a girl barely of age herself, she thought best to focus on raising Qi Family Town before anything else: "You don’t plan to cherish that sword from Brother Chang Qing as a treasure, do you?"

Liu Hongzhao shook her head decisively, "That would be too disrespectful to Brother Chang Qing’s intentions."

A weapon is meant to be used, Zheng Yichen had also made it very clear that treating a weapon as a collectible instead of using it would completely betray his original intention. She wouldn’t do that, especially since she could still sense the special nature of this sword. Even though it was fire-attributed, holding it in her hand felt very fitting.

Whether channeling Inner Strength or extending her own mastery of Wind type powers, it wouldn’t enhance her control over Wind type powers, but it could, while using Wind type powers, add an additional effect by imbuing her Wind Blades with the power of flames.

The weapon that Qi Xiangyun and Lin Yaoyao held should be of a similar nature, when it came to them, Zheng Yichen had always treated them fairly and equally.

Moreover, the sword was delivered just in time. Soon, she would be attempting to accept some commissions from the Dusk mercenaries, and having a more suitable weapon would greatly help her. The Supreme Demon’s weapons weren’t unusable, but they would be better suited for her once she was fully grown and her body was fully developed.

"Let’s go back and spar with each other," Liu Hongzhao couldn’t resist the urge to find a suitable target to test her new sword.

...

"We don’t have the means to study something like a forbidden spell," within her own residence, Eileena, looking at the forbidden spell information Zheng Yichen brought back, spoke with certainty. They hadn’t even fully grasped the basic magic knowledge that dragon had given them, and now they had been introduced to even more advanced magic knowledge of forbidden spells?

Suddenly trying to master calculus when one hasn’t even learned addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division properly?

"Let’s just keep it for now, there will always be a chance to use it in the future... What’s this?" he asked, looking at the item Eileena had taken out.

"A Curse artifact," Eileena said without any suspense, clarifying the function of this object. It was a Curse artifact developed using Zheng Yichen’s hair which, like her previous research, could extend along the cursed person’s bloodline.

The curse wasn’t particularly powerful, the type that could be broken and dispelled by someone, but as long as the medium wasn’t destroyed, the lifted curse would still take effect again.

"There are certain conditions needed to activate this object," she added.

"Like the blood of the cursed person or something else?" Zheng Yichen asked without hesitation, as this idea had appeared in many stories before.

Eileena nodded, "Hair would suffice. Weave the target’s hair into this object, and as long as it remains undamaged, the curse can persist indefinitely. It’s a curse that makes the affected more susceptible to attacks by Evil Spirits."

Naturally, her curses were related to spirits, as she was proficient in Necromancy.

"There’s also the blessing artifact that Katrina made," she mentioned.

The next day, Ahn Qi, looking at the object Zheng Yichen had brought over, showed some curiosity, "An eternal blessing artifact? What kind of blessing does it offer?"

"A protective blessing that can be passed down through bloodlines, offering some protection against malevolent spirits and possibly a slight increase in luck," he replied, though he wasn’t too certain if it could actually enhance luck, as that was difficult to quantify, intangible.

Many things wouldn’t always work one hundred percent, but the protection from malevolent spirits was quite useful. It was essentially an amulet that didn’t need to be carried and could provide a blessing or curse that wouldn’t diminish over bloodlines.

It wouldn’t dilute in power from being shared among more people; in fact, for curses, the power might even increase with more related bloodline individuals.

"How many of these do you have?" Ahn Qi wondered, contemplating how to invest more into Zheng Yichen’s invention. An eternal blessing artifact—unless it got damaged, the blessing wouldn’t be dispelled, even if temporarily neutralized, it would reemerge.

The value of such an item far surpassed many flashy objects. Surely, many people would be interested in it.

"Not many; they’re difficult to make, and materials are limited," he replied. He had plenty of hair, but mass-producing such artifacts wasn’t realistic. The state of long hair wouldn’t last much longer, and when his body was mostly healed, he wouldn’t wake up to find his hair had grown significantly each day.

Katrina had noticed that the rate of growth of Zheng Yichen’s hair was slowing down, which was a good sign. It meant his body was gradually returning to its original peak condition.

"Are there ten?" Ahn Qi inquired, believing that scarcity made these items precious, but their effectiveness needed to be thoroughly tested. If they proved truly effective, they could open many new paths for the Ahn family.

"That shouldn’t be a problem," he answered.

That afternoon, a delivery vehicle was parked at Zheng Yichen’s doorstep, as Katrina looked out the window at the workers moving stuff out, she turned to Eileena, "Did you buy more books recently?"

Eileena shook her head. She hadn’t finished or fully grasped the books she had bought previously, so how could she buy new ones?

"These aren’t purchases, they’re investments from others," Zheng Yichen said to the two witches after moving the items, explaining that the blessing artifacts could be tested by Ahn Qi. Once the tests yielded results, the investor began their "capital infusion."
