Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 647: Ghost Claw vs Perpetual Spirit Ring

I hurriedly checked all the stuff I could use whilekeeping track ofOne-Armed Dragon’s movements. I didn’t want to miss any move of his!

He raised his arm, and I sawhis fist comingright atmy face. I hurriedly read theBigDipper Sirius Spell; red light bloomed from the Holy Mother Scepter. However, One-Armed Dragon’s punch wasalreadyin front of my face.

The red light from the Holy Mother Scepter was pushed backward little by little, causing my chest tovibratehard. Ithoughtitwould explode in the next second.

One-Armed Dragon grabbed my throat. I screamed and usedthelast bit of mystrength to stab the Invisible Needle right at his glabella.

The man didn’t expect that Iwould counterattack. After all, itlooked like I had nothing else left to use. He couldn’t dodge my attack.Blood immediatelystreameddownhis forehead.

Unexpectedly, heraisedhis hand and wiped it.Hiswound closed miraculously.

Despairshrouded myheartasI landed on my butt. My head was emptyas I watchedOne-Armed Dragon’s handaimat my throat one more time…

Atthis moment, a senile hand stopped One-Armed Dragon’s attack. I turned and saw Zen MasterBaimei. I didn’t know why, but I suddenly felt that his cultivation base had increasedsignificantly.

One-Armed Dragon was now pulling back and forth with Zen MasterBaimei withtheir magic powers. The wound on his glabella that had disappeared wasnowcracked andbleeding. Zen MasterBaimei attacked furiously. He put the chain of mala beadsaroundOne-Armed Dragon’s neck. Themanstaggered and stumbled.

“Brother!”Yin-Yang Tigershoutedwhen he saw One-Armed Dragonfall.He immediatelydashed toward Zen MasterBaimei.

AsYin-Yang Tigerhad come to assist his brother, Zen MasterBaimeifelt he couldn’t put up with both of them. Shortly after,Yin-Yang Tigerhad pricked him a few times.Out of energy, the monk slumped.

Iunderstoodthat Zen MasterBaimei’s strength just now was hisfinal showingbefore his death.

Yin-Yang Tigerstepped on Zen MasterBaimei’s chestand usedthe Taiyi Traceless Sword to pat his face. He shouted, “You old donkey, you’re about to be buried under the yellow earth, yet you dare to act tough?”

Zen MasterBaimeistillkepthis calm and indifferent face. However, it was a stab to my heart.

He nodded at me. “Run!”

I closed my eyes. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I grabbed the Holy Mother Scepter and ran. I crossed my heart and pledged that after this trading conference was over, even if I had to pay with my life, I wouldset things straightwith the Longquan Villa!

When I returned to the inn, I stood by the window and looked at the screen above the market.

The screen was showing burning flames, butI was able to seethrough them. IsawYin-Yang Tigerinsulting Zen MasterBaimei.

I clenched my fistsand carved Yin-Yang Tiger’s image into my head. He would be the first one Iwould findafter this trade conference was over.

“You’re back?”

A feeble voice came from behind me. I turned and foundthatChuyi was awake. He asked worriedly, “Why are you here alone? Where is Zen MasterBaimei?”

I didn’t dare to look in his eyes. I had to gather my courage to tell him what had happened.

“They’re courting death!”

Chuyi’s eyes turned red. He clenched his fists then spurted blood. He fell back to the bedbeforeblacking out.

At thismoment, I heard the crowd cheering outside. I went to the window to see. The screen now showed thatYin-Yang Tigerwas the winner. Hehadobtained the Taiyi Traceless Sword.

The result was clear, andI felt as though my heart was emptied out. I wondered if Zen MasterBaimeiwasdead.

IthoughtI wouldgocrazy soon. I rushed downstairs. I wantedto find him. When I got out of the inn, I saw a few shadows carrying Zen MasterBaimeiback.

The ghost leading the team said something, then threw Zen MasterBaimeion the bed.They left shortly after.

I didn’t know what he was saying. But when they left, theysmiled. It seemed the Demon King didn’t kill Zen MasterBaimeiafter he lost the match. Looking at the two unconscious people on the bed, I felt strangely pressured!

I thought that Chuyi and Zen MasterBaimeiwouldhaveeasily won. It turned outthatafter the two matches, both of them were severely injured.

Chuyi hadrisked his lifeto win, butZen MasterBaimeiwas crushed byYin-Yang Tiger. The Buddhist mala beads couldn’t subdue the sword. The pressurenow hungon my head. If I lost the match, then everything Chuyi and Zen MasterBaimeihad done would have been in vain.

However, Ididn’t even knowthe name ofmy otherworldly item. Right now,it was no different froma broken ring.

If I faced One-Armed Dragon one on one, I wasn’t his equal opponent. Moreover, he wasafirst-classexpert in the Longquan Villa. Surely, hehadmany experiences in dealing with otherworldly items.

As the time drew nearer to the morning, Chuyi woke up while Zen MasterBaimeiwas still in a coma. He sat up and coughed. “Jiulin, you have to trust yourself! No matter what happens, never give up. You have to keepthisin your mind. As long as you are patient andputup with it, you will receive the mermaid’s tears!”

I nodded and poured him a cup of water. Then, I askedhim to wait for my goodnews. I grabbed the Holy Mother Scepterand leftthe inn.

On the way to the market, the peoplemadeway for me. They knew I would join the next match soon. Somehumansand ghosts gave me thumbs-ups.

I didn’t care about them. Lifting my head, I saw the mermaid’stearshovering in midair.

Chuyi was right. Ihad tobe persistent.Before I reached the destination, I shouldn’t let them defeat me.

After thinking about YinXinyue,who was waiting for me at home, I felt full of energy.

Suddenly, the crowd cheered enthusiastically.

“Finally, the last matchis starting!” One-Armed Dragon’s excited voice came from the center of the market.

I saw the crowd parting, makingwayfor him. Hewas running toward me with a strange saber in his hand.

He stopped in front of me and assessed me fromheadto toe. In the end, his eyes stopped at the ring.

After a moment, he burst out laughingand spoketo me in a way heassumed was humorous. “Kid, we don’t even need to fight…”

Asafirst-classfigurein the Circle of otherworldly merchants, he knew my ring was trash at the first glance.

I was embarrassed, and myfaceturnedred. “Whether we needto fightor notis something we’ll haveto see,”I said through gritted teeth.

“Come, come! It’sstarted!”

“My God, it’s the Ghost Claw Saber!”

After I barked backathim, the crowd had another uproar. Instinctively, I lifted my head toseethe screen. It said, “Perpetual Spirit RingvsGhost Claw.”

I took a deep breath.One-Armed Dragonhadthe Ghost Claw. My moodreceivedanother fatalblow.

The Ghost Claw was one of the most bizarreweaponsin this world. I heard that it was made in the fourteenth century by a blacksmith fromItaly. That blacksmithliked gambling, but he couldn’t pay his debt at last. In the end, he killed his wife and sonand usedtheir bones to create this horrible sabertogive to hiscreditor.

However, three days later, hiscreditor’s home was burned down,which killedhis entire family. From that day onwards, the Ghost Claw had beenin the hands ofmanypeople. However, every time, its ownerdiedwithout a known cause.

The Ghost Claw disappeared, but the rumors about it had never ceased.It gradually became a symbol ofbadluck. I had never expected to see it in this Ghost Market!

Although the Ghost Clawbroughtmisfortune toitsowner, it surely hadintimidating power. As One-Armed Dragon had lostanarm, he coincidentlyshared the samepainasthe spirits inside that saber.

The ghosts around me discussed boisterously. They wereasking around if anybodyknewabout the Perpetual Spirit Ring.

“Never heard of it. I guess they put it in to get enough items…”

“That kid is so unlucky. He got this broken item. I don’tthink there’sanythingto see. The Ghost Claw will win!”

After listening to their conversation, my head became muddled like a bowl of congee. Everybody thought that Ididn’t have achance of winning.

However,I wasn’t a person who would acceptaloss that easily. The more difficultthe challenge, the stronger my will to fight!

Suddenly, the noise of the crowd disappeared. The images on the flaming screenweregone. I knew the match had started. Immediately, I turned and headed toward the village entrance.

I knew I couldn’t fight against him face-to-face, soIwouldwaitintheillusional landand ambush him!That washow I could survive.

I could use the Invisible Needle togo anywhereI wanted, but it would be difficult for One-Armed Dragon to dothe same.

It wastheonly advantage I had now!
